CURIOUS, but TRUE.—A gentleman was
recently thrown from his carriage and run over, but not at
all hurt; a dog fell from a phaeton, the wheels went over his
head, but he was uninjured. In each case the carriage was fitted
with the PATENT NOISELESS WHEELS. These facts can be

V A L R Y.
C " The age of Chivalry is gone, and that of Economists and
Calculators has succeeded. The glory of the age of chivalry con-
sisted in the attire of the knight being suitable for his sporting or
military avocations ; the age of chivalry is therefore restored by the
designs in costume, introduced and perfected by E. MOSES and
SON. Stylish fit, comfort in wear, novelty in materials, and splen-
dour in finish are some of the features of E. MOSES and SON'S
Sporting Dress.
As Economists, they have reduced the price to the most reasonable
scale, and as Calculators, have attained the most desirable elevation
from which they supply magnificent Dress to Ladies, Gentlemen, or
Mechanics. Coats, light and waterproof, gems of modern art, useful
but not cumbersome, agreeable wear in shower or sunshine, these
Coats are enclosed in a neat case, or may be put into the pocket of
an ordinary Dress Coat ; these are introductory to hundreds of new
styles to be presented by E. MOSES and SON for Autumn.
WHO SHOULD EMIGRATE, AND WHO SHOULD OUTFIT?
The capitalist, the industrious, the agriculturalist, the mechanic,
in fact every man who deserves to participate in wealth and possess
property, but labour must preceed enjoyment, the journey must' go
before the possession, and such articles as are needed for both are
called an Outfit. E. MOSES and SON name a few of their qualifi-
cations, and let the Emigrant judge " who should Outfit."
They have an immense wholesale department, where capitalists
may make the most eligible investments, and where Goods suitable
for Australia, or any other country may be procured at such prices
as will afford the amplest profit on every purchase. From this de-
partment families emigrating will derive the highest advantages.
They keep a stock of Hosiery, Boots, and Shoes, &c,, for the
" Diggings," and Dress of every description expressly prepared
with the most accurate acquaintance with any voyage Or climate,
on this the Emigrant may implicitly depend.
Many years experience in Outfitting on the largest scale has put
them in possession of an exclusive power in procuring, manufac-
facturing, and arranging Outfits, to which they appropriate a sepa-
rate department in their gigantic establishment, where every Emi-
grant at once sees the purposes they are intending to serve. " Who
then can Outfit" like E. MOSES and SON.
Full Lists of Outfits, and all information relative to sailing of
vessels and cost of passage may be had on application, or post free
to any part of the kingdom.
SPECIAL NOTICE, the Establishments will be closed on TUES-
DAY and WEDNESDAY next, September 14 and Is,resu
the
business on THURSDAY morning, September 16, at Seven o'cmlol
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesomr a‘nlike
g
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment,"
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons. They beg to state that they have

with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Err • Errors
n relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of thers
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may bo in his
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
—" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
distressing malady by translating this little kook, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to
cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma-
torrhcca and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852.
—" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of
the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the mderate
price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reoach of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medial Press, April

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
excesses, which
consequences resulting from irregularities and
an
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation i
Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, Y
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge this acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these
cases.

THE BETTING SYSTEM.
At the Mansion-House, yesterday, the Lord Mayor
said he had received a letter on the subject of the bet-
ting system, to which, and its enclosures, he thought it
his duty to give all the publicity he could. It was as
follows: " Uxbridge, Sept. 13, 1852.
" My Lord,—Since betting houses have become such
a pest, and have occupied your Lordship's serious atten-
tion for some time past, I beg to lay before your Lord-
ship two circulars which are issued by a species of

fortune-teller at West Drayton, one of Which has some
bearing on the point in question. The amount of his
correspondence is truly surprising, for he does not
transact business on personal application. Most of his
letters contain remittances, as lam told. He is known
in the village of West Drayton; but not a creature near
him, save the postman, knows his real calling, as he
passes for a writer, of what I cannot say. He pays a
trifle every morning at the railway station to the news-
boy to let him see the -, the betting in which he
carefully peruses.
" Will your Lordship be kind enough to lend your
powerful assistance in getting rid of this fellow?
Surely there is somethinc, like a false pretence in all his
actions, and it would not be difficult for an experienced
officer to bring him to justice. I am sorry to trouble
your Lordship on such an occasion as this, but as you
have evinced a determination to put down these incen-
tives to robbery, I trust that when I state that it is for
the public good alone I apply to you, my apology will be
deemed sufficient.

"I have the honour to remain,
" Your Lordship's most obedient servant,
" HENRY MARSHALL."
The following were enclosed in the foregoing. They
were both printed circulars:—
"I beg to inform you I have changed my residenco to
the above address.
" I have often been asked if I could name the win-
ning horse of a race, but I always declined entering
upon racing matters, as until this year I had not
given much attention to the solution of questions on
such subjects. Bat at the solicitation of some cor-
respondents I have (assisted by a scienti-
fic friend) made a minute investigation into
the problem of discovering the winner of a
horse race, and have arrived at astonishingly correct re-
sults, having predicted the winners of the principal
races cf this year; and I can now undertake to name
with certainty the winner of any race submitted to me.
The many years I have been favourably known to the
public in my profession may be taken as some guarantee
that I am able to perform what I state. I think it right
to say, that I am, and ever have been' wholly uncon-
nected with the racing or betting circles, and that it is
by purely scientific calculations I determine the winner
of a race. Indeed, I am precluded from betting my-
self, inasmuch as I should lose the faculty of judging
correctly were I personally interested in a race. I need
not speak of the opportunity that presents itself of
making money by a knowledge of which horse will win
a race, and it is only to a solect number of my corres-
pondents I mention the matter.
" Fee one guinea. Enclose stamped directed envelope.
" I am, yours, &c., " CLAIRVOYANCE."
" The clairvoyant, whose powers have been psblicly
tested some years, and whose truthful predictions have
gained him much celebrity, may be consulted on the fol-
lowing terms:—
" A detail of the loading incidents of life past and for
ten years to come, and particulars relative to health and
constitution, character and disposition, prosperity in
lifeZmarriage, children, &c., 55.; the whole; period of life
described, and more minute information, 10s.; a very
copious and elaborate investigation, 1/. ls.; questions
solved and advice given in all affairs of importance, 25."
The Lord Mayor said he believed the class of im-
postors of whom his correspondent complained carried
on a most lucrative and extensive business, and be-
longed to the vile confederates which the betting-houses
supplied. lie hoped that Mr. Walpole would, in the
measure which it was understood the Right Hon. Gen-
tleman intended to bring forward, introduce clauses
adapted to the various maticeuvres which were daily re-
sorted to, with the object of cheating the young and in-
experienced.

METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION.
Yesterday a special court was held at the Greek-street
office, at which the following commissioners were pre-
sent:—Richard Jebb,iEsq. (chairman), Sir John Bur.
Boyne, Sir Charles EeHowes, Major Dawson, Laurence
Redhead, Thos. Hawes, William Hoskings, and George
S. Smith, Digs. After several communications had been
read by the Secretary, Mr. Woolrych, the commis-
sioners agreed to a resolution for the advance of 20,000/
from the Royal Exchange Assurance Company, as a
loan to the commission, for five years, at four per cent.,
to be secured by a mortgage on the several district
rates. An application from Walworth for LI detailed
survey of about 70 acres of land, as a preliminary to
the construction of drains, was acceded to by the court.
Upon this subject Major Dawson remarked that it might
be useful to the court and the public to know that this
was an application to complete, in :bat particular district,
the Ordnance Survey, which had only resulted in a block
plan, and merely contained the levels of the main streets.
Here it had been found impossible to proceed without a
detailed plan. The block plan was in existence, but re-
quired to be perfected. If this were done, he believed
that it would tend very much to benefit the public, for
it was impossible to carry out the drainage of any con-
siderable block of houses without having a detailed
plan. Though he was aware that to perfect the block
plan, or skeleton map, a considerable outlay would be
necessary, yet ee would take an early opportunity of
calling the attention of the commissioners to the desira-
bility of ordering the execution of the work.

forward state that it is anticipated no delay will take
place in the opening, which is fixed for Monday, the
20th instant. The stupendous arched frames for the
support of the semicircular glass roofs of the arrival
and departure sheds have been covered in, and venti-
lators on a most efficient and improved principle both
for the escape of steam and smoke, and the admission
of fresh air, have been fixed at intervals of 40 feet.
The semicircular roofs are finished at their northern
extremities by quadrantal arches abutting on a solid
platform, 25 feet above the line, under which the trains
will pass ; these arches are glazed with sheets of plate
glass, and when seen from the principal entrance have
the appearance of a quarter of an immense transparent
globe. The platform on the arrival side is paved
with large slabs of Kentish stone; that on the depar-
ture side is wood. On both platforms iron railings
extend the whole length (300 feet), both for the
purpose of preventing any over-crowding, as well as
being a security against the depredations which have
of lat 3 become so frequent at the railway termini.
The whole of the interior of the sheds is painted
white, with a slight blue tint, giving them a light and
cheerful appearance. The shed appropriated for the
standing of omnibuses, cabs, and other vehicles, is of
the same length of those beforementioned, and paved
with octagonal blocks of wood. The most stringent
rules have been laid down for the guidance of drivers,
conductors, &c., any of whom acting in violation of
the regulations, besides being liable to a penalty, will
not be permitted again to enter the company's pre-
mises. The police arrangements are on a most exten-
sive scale. In addition to the railway constables, a
strong body of detectives from the metropolitan police
force will be in constant attendance. The enormous
clock has been fixed in the centre tower. The dials,
three in number, are 90 feet from the ground, and are
27 feet in circumference. The refreshment and wait-
ing rooms are on a most extensive scale, and the
apartments designed for the use of her Majesty will
ba decorated in a style of magnificence unequalled at
any other terminus. The greatest activity prevails in
laying the rails ; and Messrs. Joseph and Lewis
Cubitt, the engineers and architects, and Mr. Jay,
the contractor, are indefatigable in their exertions to
have the line completed before the day of opening.

" BROKERAGE " IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY.—
It is provided by the new Chancery Act (c. 87), that it
shall be lawful for the Treasury to make regulations
with respect to the broker to be employed in transacting the
business relating to the funds of the Court of Chancery, and
the amount of commission to be received by such broker,
or the payment of such broker by
salary or otherwise.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Moniteur contains a decree from the PRINCE
PRESIDENT of the Republic, according to the Minister
of the Interior a credit of 1,360,990 f. for completing
the lines of electric telegraph throughout the
country. It also contains two other decrees, one au-
thorising the town of Napoleon-Vendee to erect an
equestrian statue of the Emperor NAPOLEON in one
of its public places ; and the other, after declaring
that religious instruction is obligatory in the various
colleges of France, giving a general plan of studies,
in which religious works bear a prominent part.
A decree of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic
modifies the organization of the Ministry of State, so
as to produce a certain amount of saving. The change
consists in suppressing the direction of the palaces
and manufactures, and the direction of accounts, and
placing both under the superintendence of the secre-
tary-general. The bureaux have also been remo-
delled, which allows fewer clerks to be employed.
There is an article in the Constitutionne/ of consi-
derable length on the progress of steam power for
naval purposes, but there is only a small portion that
we need extract. The writer, whilst he expresses a
hope that nothing will occur to induce France to
avail herself of the resources that she has in her
England, seriously
arrives at the
conclusion that the invasion would be successful. lie

sels of great speed, like the Napoleon, from carrying
each more than 1,500 men on the first beach of England
which might be bare when the tide was out. The
struggle would there be transported to the land and
there, thank God! we would fight with advantage.
England has always been conquered when a foreign
army set foot ou her soil. The Romans, the Saxons,
the Danes, the Normans under William, in turns over-
ran Great Britain. The present dynasty of her Sove-
reigns also comes from a foreign land. The disposses-
sion of James 11. by William is a sort of fourth invasion,
The day has arrived when the fleets of Great
Britain
would not suffice to prevent a descent on her shores.
Europe would then have to ask her for an account of the
occupation of Gibraltar, taken by surprise; of the cap-
ture of of Malta, of Heligoland, of the Cape of Good
Hope, of the Isle of France, of Aden, of the lonian
Islands, and of other important bulwarks, behind which
a naval despotism shelters itself. That despotism, if it
had still increased, thanks to an incontestable naval su-
periority, would in the end have driven one of the weal-
thiest nations to one of those extreme resolutions which
are adopted when the only chance of safety is to hope
for none. Steam-vessels will spare Europe that despair
and that extremity. It re-establishes the balance and
will show our neighbours the necessity of a more prudent
and more scrupulous policy. It is in that way that it
well serve to consolidate peace."
The Assemblee Nationale, in alluding to the report
of a commercial treaty having been concluded be-
tween France and England, says the news is too im-
probable to be true. The other Protectionist organ,
the Constitationnel, says it cannot be true, because it
would be in contradiction with a paragraph which
recently appeared in the Moniteur. The argument of
the Constiiutionnel is not, however, perhaps a very
conclusive one. The Ministerial journals, the Pays
and the Patric, which have recently shown rather a
tendency to support free-trade principles in a modified
form, offer no opinion as to the truth or falsehood of
the rumour mentioned by the Morning Chronicle.
As to the silence of the Moniteur on this subject, it
would probably be wrong to infer from it that there
is no truth in the rumour or that it is well
founded. If no treaty has been concluded, or if no
negotiations are pending, the Government may think
that it is not necessary to say more to tranquillize the
Protectionist party than it has already said; and, on
the other hand, if a treaty has been concluded, or is
likely to be concluded, the Moniteur may be expected
to remain silent until the completion of the formali-
ties which must precede an official announcement.
The Archbishop of BOURGES has addressed the fol-
lowing circular to the Cures of his diocese :
" Monsieur le Curb,—You are aware that the Prince
President is to honour with a visit the capital of the
Berry. No doubt the populations will hasten to tes-
tify their sincere and respectful sympathies to him,
and they will be pleased to see their pastors accompany
them in the accomplishment of that duty. That also is
certainly your own wish, and you will be well pleased to
satisfy it, as much as your other duties will permit you.
I shall be happy to present to the illustrious head of the
State a clergy of whom the views are so prudent, the
sentiments so perfect, and who understand so well their
holy mission. You will pray with us that God may
bless the footsteps of the Prince, and grant his wishes
and our:, by giving him all the means necessary to finish,
in the interest of religion and of society, the work of
safety which he has so nobly and happily commenced.—
Receive, &c.,
