supersedes braces, remains firm to the heel without straps, secures
a handsome fall over the instep, and affords a full power of stride

hitherto accomplished. One trial will convince the most sceptical
of their superiority. From 16s. to 255.

GREAT MEETING AT THE LONDON
TAVERN,
On Thursday last, the Right Honourable LORD MAYOR in the

Chair,

For the Prevention of Destitution and Mendicancy.
A Gentleman present, not being able to make a speech, has serr
us his notes, from which we make a few extracts.

I approve of this movement ; from what has been said it is evi-
dent that " prevention" is aimed at as well as cure, your hearts have
suffered from the sympathetic grief which the sights of wretched-
ness and misery have produced, and your ear has not refrained from
the tale which the mendicant has poured out. What pleasure it
would afford you to see all your f chow men, and especially our
mechanics and industrious artizans, who it has just been said " Often
become the subjects of our bounty," from the fact of their having
paid high prices for those things which they daily require, and more
particularly for their DRESS, which has been an immense subject
of consumption in all families, and was, prior to the enterprise of E.
NOSES and SON, charged outrageous prices, but now is made ac-
cessible to every one at their Mart at an easy rate. I repeat to see
these, with all the inhabitants of London and its surrounding coun-

try, providing themselves with a fund in the day when they can
labour, a fund on which they may depend in time of need, thus cul-
tivating a spirit of independence and saving you the great sum you
have to contribute to the various institutions from which destitution
seeks for relief. You pledge yourselves to support this movement,
and the way by which you may best do so, is to save forty per cent
by purchasing all your Dress and that of your dependants at
the Economical Clothing Mart of E. MOSES and SON ; this will
enable you further to extend your liberality in your excellent plans.
Economy and frugality arc the best preventatives of destitution
and mendicancy. " Waste not, want not," is true as ever. The
most certain way to prevent destitution in the City and elsewhere
is for the people to become possessors of those advantages offered to
all classes, purchasing every article of Dress at E. MOSES and
SON'S, Alclgate and Minories, or New Oxford-street and Hart-
street. Such a course would certainly prevent a great amount or
destitution, leaving the people a large amount of money purely the
result of superior quality and low prices. The prices being more
than 40 per cent. lower than any other house, constituting an entire
saving of cash to meet accident, scarcity, and old age. The amount
saved in forty per cent. makes a large sum in family expenditure—
is a fortune before age adv inces, and has already prevented a great
amount of distress in the City and in other places. I, therefore, urge
on any Gentleman here who has not already given E. MOSES and
SON the whole of his patronage to do so forthwith, not only from
the fact of their being Tailors, Hatters, Hosiers, &c., &c., to the No-
bility, but the sustainers of our City's Taste, Credit, and Fashion,
and the economisers of the money of our distinguished and wealthy
citizens, and endeavour to extend the benefits of such a reduction
to all classes under your influence and engaged in your service, by
directing them to go to E. MOSES and SON for every article of
dress, which will secure them from the sorrows of destitution and
the humiliation of mendicancy.

SALES By AUCTION

THE PERSON AND THE PURSE.
There are two essential points to be considered in the purchase
of attire—namely," The person and the purse ;" and RYAN! and Co.
consulted at their Establishments as below.
would have it understood that each of these points ,may be advan-
tageously
TIIE PROTECTION OF THE PERSON
is secured in the firmness and durability of the cloths and other ma-
terials manufactured at the Establishments of lIYAM and Co. No
piece-goods but those possessing undoubted excellence are ever per-
mitted to find warehouse-room at lIYAM and Co.'s houses. The
best of the markets, regardless of cost, is at all times secured by the
proprietors for the manufacture of their dress ; and hence that high
reputation and public confidence which lIYAM and Co. have so long
enjoyed.

are in fact assailable, he writes, "and at least
liable to insult, and to havo Contributions levied upon
us, on all parts of our coasts, that is, the coasts of these
islands, including the Channel Isles, which tillthis
neverte:
from the period of the Norman conquest, have
been successfully invaded." It is difficult to believe that
this statement could grow into the awful disclosures
contained in Sir Francis Head's work, and that the need
foranning a few coast batteries could be straightway
turned into a necessity for fortifying a city like London
—as if our citizens had nothing to do but play at sol.
diers, like national guards. The question to be decided
—if additional defence should ever be required to meet
additional dangers—is how these defences should be se-
cured with the greatest advantage, without their be-
coming a burden to the nation. When, in 1798, Mr.
Secretary Dundas moved for leave to bring forward the
Government bill on the national defences, be quaintly
stated, amongst other matters, that it had become ne-
cessary in particular districts to erect covers for bat-
teries, and to raise works in critical situations, but
where these positions were he found it impossible to
point out. Happily we are very differently situated.
There is not a point on our coasts the exact defensive
qualities of which are not perfectly laid down in the
Ordnance survey. The Government is aware of every
locality which requires strengthening, and our present
engineer officers aro ..not surpassed for professional
knowledge by any corps in the world. We were told
the other day that the dockyards of Portsmouth and
Plymouth were to be put in a proper state of defence.
Why were they not always in a proper state of defence?
—because the money which is annually voted for ord-
nance works and which the public believe to be thus
spent is squandered in foolish " brick and mortar jobs."
Real defences are not expensive matters, so far as ma-
sonry is concerned; for the uselessness of long lines of
walls and ditches round the seaports were discovered
many years back. Sieges have become too expensive,
and all that is required are good strong batteries, placed
at the assailable poidts-of importance—open batteries
whence the gunners can take a steady aim at advancing
steamers, not expensive casements where they get
blinded and suffocated with smoke, For in future
wars, ships will not amuse themselves in exchanging
long-range shots with the land batteries, but bearing
down on them will come to close quarters and endeavour
to overpower them with the weight of their broadsides.
Of this the Americans are fully aware, for many of
their coast batteries are in double and triple tiers like a
line-of-battle ship. The defences of Great Britain must
be restricted to the fortifications in our dockyards, the
entrances of the river leading to our commercial sea-
ports, and to having our large force afloat properly dis-
posed. We must insist upon having some of our ships
home. England, now again, as ever before, must rely
for her chief safety on the courage and dexterity of her
seamen and the presence of her Wooden Walls. Since
the attention of the Ministry is being given to this sub-
ject, we warn them to lase well what they have, before
asking for more—to offer the country army and navy
reform, before they ask for army or navy extension.
HERALD.—When a writer, in the Morning Chronicle,
a few days since, ventured a hope that Lord John Rus-
sell would not raise such a flame, before leaving office, as
should render the Government of the country by any
other persons impossible, it was inevitable that our
minds should be driven to the ballot as the real danger
at which these earnest deprecations pointed. To our
minds this is the only danger which exists in the discus-
sion or proposal of new reforms. As to the schemes for
disfranchising some of the smaller broughs, and giving
the seats to the counties, we can see no necessary peril
in them. They may be wise or unwise; but, at all
events, they seem to involve no very serious danger. It
would quite otherwise with the adoption of the ballot.
In that we see much real peril, while we see also a pro-
posal to legislate expressly to relieve men from the obli-
gation of keeping a promise. With these views, then,
when we hear men talk of some danger connected with
the new Reform Bill, we naturally oonolude that it is
the ballot to which they refer. There is also a singular
circumstance, as connected with this question, perceptible
in the reform article in the Edinburgh Review. We
mean, that almost every other proposition that has
been named, or can be imagined, is discussed in that
article ; but that the ballot is studiously passed
over. We say studiously—for it is not possible that
the writer should have overlooked or forgotten it.
The entire silence observed on this subject is distinctly
expressive of one thing;—that the writer knew not
which side it might be necessary to take, on a question
which could only be answered by a plain Yes, or an
equally distinct No. And from this silence we draw a
further omen, that the Ministerial mind is not fully de-
cided to reject the proposal. Yet there is one very re-
cent and loud-speaking event which has an important
bearing on this question, and on which we must say a
few words. The Examiner, always a Whig-Radical
organ, and of course favourable to Mr. Grote's panacea,
had an article last week on what is called " The impos-
sible 7,439,216." The most surprising point in that
clever and ingenious article was, that its writer did not
see that the fact upon which it dwelt told about a thou-
sand times more strongly against its own favourite, the
ballot, than it could do against the French President!
It is true that the one weak point in this election was,
that it was effected by secret voting. This was not the
President's first intention or command. Ho was per-
suaded by others to depart from his original purpose.
In order to ensure freedom of voting, he ordered the
vote to be secret. And here is the reward. He is now
told, " You have polled more votes than
could by possibility hare existed." Let us
look at this allegation, first, as it affects
Louis Napoleon's election ; and, secondly, as it shows
the absurdity of the whole system of ballot-voting. 1.
As far as Louis Napoleon's election is concerned, the
objection is merely frivolous. Is there a living man who
doubts that the President received as many millions of
bona fide votes as there were of hundreds of thousands
against him? In a word, is there any one who doubts
that he had the vote of fully nine out of every ten? And
if this cannot be doubted, of what consequence is it to
him, or to his election, whether or no 300,000 or 400,000
votes in his favour were mistakenly or fradalently
thrown in ? The great proof of that election really
was what the return represented it to be, is found in
the fact, that there had been no denials of its sub-
stantial truth. Had any town or village known that
its inhabitants were indisposed towards Louis Napo-
leon, and would vote against him, and had they
afterwards seen an official return, showing that
1,200 voted in his favour, and only 86 against him,
would they not have disclaimed, publicly, the whole
transaction, and have denounced it as a cheat? But not
a whisper of the kind has been heard. The general
truth of the return is established by the universal assent
of the people. So far, then, as Louis Napoleon is con-
cerned, the charge is immaterial. We may ask the
Examiner, and other impugners, " What is your be-
lief? Do you suppose that as many as 1,000,000 of
votes were fabricated? Well, if that be all, the result
will be, that in your view, the President was only
elected by 6,439,216 votes, against 640,737—0 r only by
10 to 1, and not by more than 11 to 1, as the official re-
turn stated. And that is all you have to say. Well,
what matters it, whether you are right or the official
return? Either way the majority was prodigious." But
the case is different when we turn from the elected to the
method of election. It matters nothing to Louis Napo-
leon whether he were chosen by 7,439,216 votes, or_to
by
6,439,216. But when we come to discuss the Ballot,

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
TIMES a—Scarcely six months have elapsed since the
Imperial Parliament was occupied with a grave discus-
sion as to the existence or non-existence of piracy on the
coast of Borneo. It will not be forgotten how resolutely
the fact was denied by the small but determined party
of " peaceinekers" and economists. Sir James Brooke
was denounced as an unscrupulous despot, who, for the
purposes of private aggrandiz9ment bad employed the
terrible arms of scientific warfare against uuoffending
and defenceless natives, and the destruction of a fleet cf
prahus surprised in open sea was stigmatised as a fero-
cious and sanguinary massacre. The question, of
course, hinged en the ascertainable character of the
savages who had been thus chastised, and in maintaining
the innocence of these reputed victims. Mr. Bright and
his friends relied, with considerable plausibility, on the
evidence of Mr. Robert Burns, a namesake and de-
scendant of the celebrated poet, and a trader in these
parts. Mr. Burns was not on good terms with Sir James
Brooke; unpleasant communications had passed between
them, and as the particular question of piracy was one on
which their views especially differed, it was highly na-
tural that strong testimony should be forthcoming in
favour of Mr. Bright's assumptions. Parliament, how-
ever, decided the other way, with reason too, for Mr.
Burns has unhappily furnished in person a fatal refuta-
tion of his own evidence. By the latest intelligence
from these quarters we learn that this unfortunate
gentlemen has been barbarously murdered by pirates in
his own ship, and on the very waters which he strenu-
ously persisted in believing free from piracy. The Dolphin,
a vessel of which Mr. Burns was supercargo, had been
trading in Maludu Bay, a gulf situated at the north-
eastern angle of Borneo, some leagues above Labuan, the
seat of Raja Brooke's government. As she was pre-
paring to leave she was hailed by two prahus offering
goods for sale, and she accordingly dropped her anchor
again till the next morning. Pursuant to their intima-
tion the natives came on deck and produced their com-
modities, which Mr: Burns proceeded to examine. While
he was s engaged the chief of the prahus suddenly
drew a concealed kreese and struck his head from his
body. The captain, who was pacing the quarter-deck,
received at the same time a blow in the cheek, which
wounded but did not disable him. Ho scrambled to
the bowsprit and begged hard for life, but the
crew of the prahu under the vessel's bows drove
their spears through his back, and he fell
dead into the water. The pirates—for so, with-
out offence, we may surely now term them—after
butchering four more of the ship's crew, including a
woman, carried off their prize and anchored off Beng-
gaya in Labook Bay, not far distant. As it happened,
however, they were disappointed in the selection of their
anchorage ; for the sheriff or chief of Benggaya, Yassin
by name, on recognising Mr. Burns' schooner, took pos-
session of her and carried her up the river. Shortly
afterwards the lion. Company's steamer Pluto, on a
cruise after pirates, called in at Maludu Bay, and, on
hearing the intelligence, departed at once for Benggaya,
where she received the Dolphin from the hands of Sheriff
Yassin, with her decks still dyed with blood. That Mr.
Burns' incredulity was sincere there can be no question,
for though he had been repeatedly warned of the danger
he persisted in his voyage, without even the precaution
of getting up the ship's arms from the hold, where they
were stowed; but this temerity is the more remarkable
from the vividness of the apprehensions displayed by one
whose means of information were at least equal to those
of an English trader. Sheriff Yassin earnestly be-
sought the commander of the Pluto to furnish
him with protection against the return of the
pirates, who, as they had plainly threatened,
would, he said, most certainly reappear with a
powerful force and avenge themselves for the loss of
their prize. Neither was there any doubt about the race
or country of these sanguinary marauders. They were
Borneans, from a district well known and within easy
reach, and the Pluto, in fact, was actually in quest of
some such prey when she received the intelligence which
dispatched her to Benggaya. We trust this melancholy
catastrophe may at least produce the good effect of
making certain Manchester politicians a little more
cautious in denying facts which happen to conflict with
their favourite theories. The whole outcry against Sir
James Brooke was suggested, we really believe, by no
motive more direct than a general feeling of annoyance
at the practical employment of instruments of war. It
had been ruled as sinful, and what was worse, as expen-
sive, to kill one's kind, and the information that men
existed of such a character as irresistibly to provoke the
use of sword and cannon was highly disagreeable to
the advocates of human perfectibility. We see no
other way of accounting for the obstinacy of their
anger. All the probabilities were incontestably
against them. The coasts, not only of Borneo,
but of other islands in this Archipelago, bad been
the reputed haunts of pirates from time immemorial.
We had entered into formal engagements for their sup-
pression with the other European Powers having pos-
session in these seas, and bad established a combination
of cruisers not unlike that of French and English on the
coast of Africa. When Mr. Brook first sailed for Borneo
with the good wishes and auspices of all the philanthro-
pists and economist in the kingdom, he stated over and
over again that the one great obstacle to civilization in
these'parts was piracy, and that to extirpate piracy must
be the very be-all and end-all of his mission. Yet no
sooner is -information received of his destroying a pi-
ratical fleet than a terrible outcry is commenced, and all
the resources of ingenuity and special pleading are ex-
erted to make it appear that the particular savages in
the particular boats overtaken by the British Governor
were not at all at that particular moment engaged in
such acts of piracy, legally definable, as would justity
summary execution. No one denied that they were bar-
barians whose daily habits were those of bloodshed and
pillage. No one attempted to specify what might be the
nature, if not piratical, of the expedition on which they
were surprised. It was even proved that the fellows
of these very men had been tried and convicted as
pirates in a court of law; but all would not do. Mr.
Bright and Mr. Hume tenaciously argued that there was
no warrant for the execution, and by way of adding
strength to their case they boldly called in question the
main facts of the case against them, alleging not only
that the Sarebbas were not pirates, but that it remained
to be proved whether piracy on the coast of Borneo had
any existence at all. They can have little doubt about
the matter now. It is a dangerous practice to distort all
manifest probabilities to the purposes of a momentary
agitation, and yet the case of the Bornean pirates is but
one, unfortunately, out of several in which these
" tactics" have been tried. Because it was very natur-
ally desired to reduce the estimates, tit was resolutely
maintained that there was no danger of war, and to show
that there was no danger of war it was argued that the
appeal to arms would never again be sounded in civilized
States. Messrs. Hume and his friends would admit no
evidence however incontestable, which went to prove
that soldiers might be wanted, just as they would admit
no evidence, in behalf of Sir James Brooke, which went
to show that cannon might be warrantably discharged.
In on© case they stand convicted, in the other we trust
they may be satisfied with something short of actual
experiment, and of this improvement we think we see
some signs.

to put our hands into our pockets to pay for more

to the first article of the Times on the same subject,
which is—that the people of England are entitled to ask
for the proper expenditure of the money already voted

to pay for Army Extension. To fortify London, as
Louis-Philippe fortified Paris, would be a monstrous
