_JUVENILE CLOTHING.
It/ In former times Houses of high pretensions paid but little at-
tention to styles of JUVENILE ATTIRE, and frequently their
best fashions were an abbreviation of those intended for ADULTS.
Such an unnatural sy stem has been abolished, and a plan entirely
NEW has been pursued by E. MOSES and SON. They employ the
most talented ARTISTS and WORKMEN, expressly to devise
NEW STYLES of DRESS for YOUNG GENTLEMEN--their age,
sYrnmetry, and proportions being carefully observed. Hence it is
that E. MOSES and SON'S JUVENILE CLOTHING is more
stylish, appropriate, and satisfactory than any which others have
Produced. The highest order of DRESS far the approaching vaca-
tion may be obtained at E. MOSES and SON'S for considerably less
money than must be paid should application be made elsewhere.
Ingenious and Novel introductions for WINTER DRESS are
practical proofs of E. MOSES and SON'S inimitable position in the
RAMORINO BUSINESS. The Ready Made Departments present
B boundless STOCK of OVERCOATS in every NEW style, charged
lower prices than at any other House in the World.

LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 182.

An augmentation of the Royal Navy of England
has at length been resolved upon by her MA-
JESTY'S Government. Scarcely any announce-
ment, we believe, could by possibility be more
acceptable than this to the great mass of the
population. It is the recognition, at last, of a
necessity long obvious, it would seem, to every-
body but the leaders of past Administrations. For
ourselves, we have insisted upon the deplorable
fact of its existence more urgently, more anxiously,
and more pertinaciously, than upon almost any
other want affecting the interests or the security
of the United Kingdom. We have never failed
to appreciate the magnitude of this most impor-
tant exigency, any more than we have overlooked
for an instant—as some people would really
appear to have overlooked—the circum-
stance that ours is an insular power, and one,
therefore, requiring for the continuance of its
stability—unremitting attention to the strength
and efficiency of its maritime armaments. That
this attention has not been accorded of late years
to the naval defences of Great Britain, has been
for a considerable time past a truth very pain-
fully notorious. Every impartial observer gifted
with a merely ordinary amount of intelligence,
has perceived only too readily and too distinctly
the grievous negligence of those entrusted with'
the responsibility of conducting the machinery of
our marine administration. They have seen
with dismay the disastrous inadequacy of
the improvements admitted into our dock-
yards when contrasted with those intro-
duced into the dockyards of some of the
more powerful States of Christendom. It
has been a lamentable story, familiar to the mul-
titude at large, that the Navy, whose annals have
been illustrated by so many glorious achievements,
the Navy of Algiers and Trafalgar, the Navy of
NELSON and CoLuNowoon—has not developed its
energies proportionately with the advance percep-
tible elsewhere, during the last thirty or forty
years of almost uninterrupted tranquillity. Com-
plaints very loud and very numerous have conse-
quently been heard, more particularly during the
past decade ; and to these complaints we have
the satisfaction of remembering that we ourselves
have repeatedly, we may even say perpetually,
given utterance.

AlllODg other things, we have asserted theimpera-
tive necessity of bringing about prompt and com-
prehensive changes in our system of ship-building,
in our scale of promotions, in our acceptance of the
aids yielded by engineering, in our organization of
marine artillery, in this direction, in that direc-
tion, and in the other—but above all, and be-
yond all, have perseveringly' insisted upon the
need of some total and immediate re-arrangement
of our preposterous scheme of manning the ships
of war entrusted with the duty of carrying unsul-
lied and respected into every quarter of the globe
the banners of„
usthethaßtr;taimshonzSoalivEnt

improvements demanded in the Royal Navy
of England, the most needed were—a greater
care for our seamen, a more sedulous regard
to the innovations in gunnery, a larger
interest in watching over the fortunes of those
officers whose merits admitted of the recompence
of a speedier advancement, and a judicious care
for the increased efficiency of our men-of-war, by
the more general employment of the advantages
inseparable from the introduction of the screw
propeller. Such have been the principal objects
towards which we have directed, year after year,
month after month, week after week, and even
day after day, all the fervour of logic and all the
force of statistics. These have been the more
noteable reforms urged by us, time after time, upon
the consideration of the authorities at the
Admiralty—reforms to the absolute necessity of
which we have called the attention of the Legis-
lature, and for the realisation of which we have
besought the interposition of the Government.
Happily for England, her rulers have at last
awakened to the sense of this great need of mari-
time improvements. It has been intimated al-
ready in these columns that the marine force of
the British Empire has been put in a fail way of
developing its own vast capabilities by the re-
cent adoption in so many instances of the "screw"
as a means of propulsion. Another improvement
equally redounding to the glory of the Cabinet,
has now, we rejoice to know, been resolved upon
in compliance with the suggestions of the Naval
Commission. Somewhere about five thousand
sailors, and a proportionate number of marines,
are forthwith to be added to those now consti-
tuting the power of the fleets of Great Britain.
Supposing that this augmentation in the
number of our seamen be only coupled
with a change in the general system of manning
our ships of war, so as to abolish the custom of
discharging crews whenever they are paid off,
precisely at the very juncture when they have
been trained into the most admirable state of
efficiency —we shall eagerly acknowledge, that
in these new reforms we can only recognize a
source of unalloyed satisfaction. Even now, as
far as the change goes, it cannot but be in every
way acceptable to the multitude. By the increase
of the Navy through the raising of these five
thousand additional sailors, we are in the most
rational manner carrying out the project of im-
proving and stabilitating what are called the Na-
tional Defences. Without some such innovation
the calling out of the new Militia would have been
little better than a farce to all intents and purposes.
The alterations proposed to emanate from the
Admiralty form, therefore, the most reasonable
pendant to Mr. WALPOLE'S much-lauded and emi-
nently successful enactment. Granted that this
augmentation of the strength of our maritime ar-
maments will necessitate no inconsiderable increase
of expenditure—yet, while that reflexion is alto-
gether undeniable in its accuracy, we rest confi-
dent, nevertheless, that the change, though
necessarily expensive, will prove one of a singu-
larly welcome and popular character. It will be
hailed with gladness by every patriot in the United
Kingdom. It will alleviate a very painful and
wide-spread anxiety. It will render the Militia
Bill more than ever agreeable to the feelings of
the population. It will infuse an appreciable ac-
tivity into the whole of the Naval Department of
these islands, and, by enhancing the vitality of our
maritime forces, will, in the most effectual manner,
tend to ensure the stability of the British Empire.
Although emanating from a DERBY-DISRAELI
Cabinet, it will not be ungrateful to the ma-
jority of a Liberal and Economic Opposition.

None but persons tolerably well acquainted
with the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland,
can form any conception of the nature and diffi-
culty of the task undertaken by the Irish Arron-
NEY-GENERAL, and so ably brought forward on
Monday evening. The mere digest of the multi-
farious enactments spread. through 150 or 200
different statutes—the clearing up of ambiguities
—the reconciling conflicting provisions, consoli-
dating and simplifying the whole, so as to form a
consistent code—would alone constitute a labour
of no ordinary magnitude. But Mr. NAPIER did
far more. He acted not merely as the compiler,
but as the Legislator. He not only ascertained
the state of the existing law, but he considered,
camly and attentively, the evils with which his
experience as a Barrister had rendered him too
familiar. He traced out those various evils to
their respective sources, and provided what, we
trust and believe, will prove to be efficient reme-
dies. He was no doubt considerably assisted by
the labours of those who had preceded him in the
same path, but who had not succeeded in achiev-
ing any practical result. He has particularly de-
rived advantage from many valuable suggestions
in the Report of the Devon Commissioners. But
all would have been fruitless had it not been for
a degree of patient assiduity, coupled with a firm
determination to render full and impartial justice
between the parties, beyond all praise. He has
1117aquestionably held the scales with an equal and
impartial hand, not seeking popularity from either
side, but, as we have already stated, enforcing "the
duties" while protecting " the rights" of pro-
perty.

In his third Bill, which is that for consoli-
dating, simplifying, and amending the existing
laws which regulate the relations of landlord and
tenant in the Sister Kingdom, Mr NAPIER has en-
deavoured to enforce a more strict observance of
the contracts, calmly and deliberately entered
into, than was previously practicable. One of the
most learned and truly distinguished Judges that
ever presided upon the Irish, or indeed on any,
Bdiesanpchproobf
a jtiusontiocPthweasteancancust t,o,mpaernd. tgo

by a special demurrer." But it was too fre-
quently the case that " a point of law" was the
only rent which the landlord could obtain
• and
the eminent Judge above referred to was occa-
sionally obliged to give effect to
objections
of
which he highly disapproved, and to decide on a
mere form, contrary to the substantial merits of
the case. The extraordinary litigation that oc-
curred on the question of reversion, which led to
conflicting decisions in the Courts of Queen's
Bench and Exchequer, was exemplified in the
well-known case of PLUCK V. DEGC4IS, which was
carried to the House of Lords, and of which it was
subsequently said by Lord PLUNKETT, that he-would-
only follow the decision of the Peers in a case in
which the name of the plaintiff was PLUCK, and
the name of the defendant, DEG GIS. It was
indeed, a case of extreme hardship, that a party
who had let his lands to another for the term for
which he held them himself, could not avail him-
self of the ordinary remedies, either by distress or
ejectment, unless he reserved some time, however
short—a single day was sufficient for the purpose
—or demised the lands for the lives of different
persons from those mentioned in his own lease.
It was a triumph of law over justice, and had a
very demoralising effect, inasmuch as it induced
persons to take defence, relying on the ingenuity
of counsel rather than on the honesty or justice of
their case. " Nothing," as the Right Hon.
Gentleman justly remarked—"Nothing was so cal-
culated to encourage the unhealthy system of
ch had prevailed in Ire-
competition for land, whi
land, as leading tenants to suppose that they
and they often
•
might not be compelled to pay ,
speculated accordingly on the chance of not being
compelled to pay." By the new Bill the contracts
will be strictly enforced ; and if the landlord is
compelled to act fairly towards the tenant, the
latter will in turn be obliged to render justice to '
the former. " The rent can no longer be paid by
a special demurrer."

There are some very salutary provisions against
waste, and particularly "against the destructive and
improvident custom of burning the lands."
Under
the existing law, the landlords had no remedy,
save by filing a bill in the Court of Chancery, for
an injunction against the reckless tenant. If un-
willing to encounter the formidable expense of
such a proceeding—an expense seldom,
if ever,
recovered from the defendant, as such acts were
only resorted to by paupers already heavily in
debt to the victims—he might stand by looking
on at the irreparable injury inflicted on his pro-
perty, which even under the most favourable
terms he might be unable to prevent, as several

days must necessarily elapse before the injunction
could be obtained and served upon the depreda-
tors. The mischief would be done during the
pendency of the legal proceedings. It is now in-
tended to give power to the neighbouring magis-
trates to issue " a stop order and a stop precept
to restrain waste," a truly valuable provision,
which could not by any possibility do injustice to
the tenant, inasmuch as he will be enabled to
appeal forthwith to the Assistant Barrister—if in
the county—or to a going Judge of Assize, or to
a superior court, to set aside the order. Mr.
NAPIER has wisely acted on the principle, that
" prevention is better than punishment." He
has therefore given the summary remedy that was
so much required against those whose acts afford
prima facie evidence that they are wrong-doers.
Another grievance provided against by the Bill,
is that occasioned by absconding tenants—an evil
which, since the famine in Ireland, has become al-
most intolerable. Not only did the party in posses-
sion carry away his crops, and deprive his land-
lord of every prospect of recovering a shilling of
the arrears—but he withheld possession of the
lands unless paid exorbitantly for their surrender.
The practice was to let a neighbouring pauper
into possession, who compelled the landlord to go
through the entire process of ejectment, unless he
complied with the extortion practised upon him.
A summary remedy will be provided in such cases,
that will remove this flagrant grievance, and en-
able the landlord to obtain possession of his pro-
perty cheaply and expeditiously. The law relat-
ing to ejectments is simplified and ameliorated, and
the ancient fictyns—justly designated as " anti-
quated an& opitose"—are abolished, and an im-
proved form substituted. The Irish JOHN DoE
and RICHARD ROE, will have the fate of their
English brethren, and " JOHN THRUSTOUT," will
only be remembered by old practitioners.
So far the landlords will be materially bene-
fitted by the measure. The tenants' interests are,
however, carefully guarded. Landlords will be
obliged to look after the repairs of labourers' cot-
tages, to see that the cabins are so constructed
that the family are not obliged to share their sleep-
ing apartment with the pig or the cow. Nothing
will do more to promote the comfort and elevate
, the condition of the agricultural labourers than
this provision. The landlord should not be
permitted to recover rent for filthy " styes," unfit
for human habitations. -

There is also a very useful rule with respect to
rents. It was a custom with many landlords and
agents to give receipts on account, not up to a
particular period, nor specifying the amount re-
maining due. This led to constant disputes, and
too often to the most fearful results. " The state
of the rent account" was the fertile source of
dissension, the teterrima causa producing litiga-
tion and heart-burnings—inducing owners to
act harshly and oppressively, and occupiers to
commit agrarian outrage—perhaps to stain their
hands with blood. The simple expedient of
declaring that unless the receipt specifies the gale
of rent, on account of which the money is paid,
it shall be considered to refer to that which ar-
rived due on the last gale day, at once provides
a suitable and efficient remedy.
The limitation of the right of distress will also
prove of great practical utility—at present land-
lords can distrain for six years. They were thus
induced to permit accumulation of arrears utterly
destructive to the independence and prosperity of
the tenant. The man so burdened, so unfairly
over-weighted, could never hope to succeed. , He
had no object in improving his lands, increasing
his stock, or obtaining additional comforts in
his dwelling ; he was utterly and hopelessly
in the power of his landlord. The true
policy, on the part of the landlord, is to
charge moderate rents, but to enforce payment
strictly. It is a false indulgence to admit of
arrears—but it was occasioned by the facility for
recovering such arrears. We fully agree with Mr.
NAPIER, that the landlord is entitled to extraordi-
dary facilities for recovering his rent up to a cer-
tain ex-telt, but we think that twelve months' rent
—the to for which he is allowed prece&nce
over an execution creditor—is amply sufficient.
The Right Hon. Gentleman fixes the time at
eighteen months, after which the right of distress
is taken away. The difference can, however, be
easily settled in Committee, and it does not in the
slightest degree derogate from the soundness of
the principle enunciated. No distress is to be
permitted for arrears under 51., and the amount
claimed is to be verified by affidavit, and a special
warrant obtained.

The Act will, we have no doubt, give great and
general satisfaction. Every disinterested and un-
prejudiced person must concur in the policy and jus-
tice of its provisions, and feel that the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL for Ireland has eminently entitled him-
self to the marked thanks and gratitude of the
community for the zeal, ability, and judgment
displayed in the settlement of this vitally import-
ant and arduous subject. If the present Govern-
mentfor Ireland but the carrying of
the measures already brought forward by their
did nothing
efficient law officers, they would render greater
service to that unhappy country than any of their
predecessors in office. We hope and believe, how-
ever, that they will prove the forerunners of other
beneficial enactments, calculated to develope the
natural capabilities of the country, and to render
the law respected where it has hitherto been dis-
regarded and despised. These reforms are in-
deed calculated "to provide a free course for
industry," because they raise up "obstacles to in-
justice, and enable every man,
either in his own
person or by his
representatives, to reap the fruits
of his exertions—to ensure the enjoyment of that
for which he has laboured."

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool estimated at from
5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for speculation. The market closed heavily.
The sales comprised 420 Pernam and Maranham,
at Gil to ; 70 Bahia, at bid. to 6id. ; 300
Egyptian, at 6d. to 9d.: and 500 Surat, at 31d.
to 41d. per lb., and the remainder nearly all Ameri-
can. Railway Shares were very firm, at reduced
rates.

The accounts from the United States represent
business as continuing good.
The following are extracts from the last letter
received from the Captain of the Wardy Yallock
Port Philip exploring party :
" Wardy Yallock, 14th August, 1852.—We are at
the present moment in precisely the same condition as
we were at the date of my last communication. Of all
the miserable weeks it has ever been my unfortunate lot
to spend, and their name is legion.' I never spent a
more wretched one. Except for a few hours on Tues-
day, it has been rain, rain, rain, from morning to night.
We have been confined to the tent the whole of the
time. Yesterday it blew a perfect hurricane for several
hours, and I had strong fears that our tent and we would
have parted company ; as it was several of the fastenings
gave way, and the ridge-pole bent almost double. We
secured it, however, and eventually our fears subsided.
Towards the evening thunder was heard rumbling
through the air, accompanied with vivid flashes of
lightning. *
"It is well that we have something altogether. supe-
rior to a pecuniary consideration, to induce us to face
the difficulties and undergo the hardships which we have
to encounter in prosecuting our search. No pecuniary
consideration, uninfluenced by higher motives, would I
should think induce any rational man to forego the com-
forts of home, and the society of his friends, for the
miserable discomforts of the bush. But we have a
higher motive to impel us forward, and that is, the de-
sire to benefit the town we inhabit, and, as a sequence,
to merit the thanks of our fellow-townsmen.

"I am anxiously waiting for the weather to change,
that we may recommence operations at Paileron's Cres-
cent. Depend upon it, that is the place where success
will smile upon us. We managed to get there for a
short time on Tuesday ; one hole was full of water, 9
feet deep. We bailed it out and got up a few large stones,
when the rain warned us again to depart. I washed
one tin dish, and obtained twenty nice bits of gold.
As we go down, the gold gets heavier, which is a pro-
mising sign.

" To the Secretary of the Gold
Exploration Company."

The English Stock Market remains rather
heavy, but there is no reaction in prices. The ill-
ness of the Chancellor of the Exchequer renders
it probable that the Budget may be postponed,
and this is one cause of the disinclination to enter
into speculative transactions. The general belief
is that an increased property-tax is to be imposed,
and some parties point specially to rail-
ways as being exposed to a larger impost.
It is inferred, however, that the enquiries
making as to the capitals of lines their incomes,
&c., merely form part of a general scheme for the
taxation of fixed property, supposing such to be
entertained by Mr. Disraeli. The income of the
country being raised, an expectation prevails that
duties upon various articles will be reduced, and
the tea trade are still rather sanguine, al-
though their case is certainly a doubtful one,
considering that, with the present Ministry the
agricultural interest is to have the preference.
Consols have been 1014 to f for transfer and ac-
count. Bank Stock is steady at 222 i, and India

are at 70s. to 735. premium, and India Bonds at

alised 103/ _ _ _

The Foreign Securities have been much dealt in,
and the settlement of the account occupies atten-
tion almost exclusively. The Turkish Loan is
nominally 1/ to 14 prem.; the holders are much
disheartened at their prospects after Lord Malmes-
bury's reply, and the paltry offer of the capital and
5 per cent. interest made to them, through
him, by the Ottoman Government. Mexican
Bonds are steady at 25. Equador Stock
looks well again, being 5 to k. Brazilian
New Bonds have been 971. Grenada Deferred

The settlement of the railway share account has
occupied attention to the exclusion of new dealings,
and prices are variable accordingly. Aberdeen
have been as high as 35, and North Western,
South Eastern, and York and North Midland are
higher. French shares are firm, though quiet.
Gold mines are still in request at the advanced
rates. Banks are good, but dull. Australian

THE ROYAL ACADEMY.—Her Majesty, as the head of
the Royal Academy, has backed the petition to that
body of the engravers, with the gracious reccommenda-
tion of their prayer ; and the Forty, in obedience to
royal wishes, and in compliance, doubtless, with their
own sense of the justice of the demand, have, we be-
lieve, consented to admit a certain number of engravers
(to be hereafter determined on) to the full honours of
the academy. Thus, after nearly 90 years of heart-
burnings, this grievance is removed—and the little stool
in the ante-room which Woollett contemned, will be
changed for a morocco chair in the midst of the Forty.—
A thenceum.

GREAT ISSUE OF NEWSPAPER STAMPS.—The very
large number of upwards of 2,000,000 newspaper stamps
were issued last week to supply the immense demand for
copies of the papers containing the account of the pre-
parations for and the funeral of the late Duke of Wel-
lington. The number of stamps issued last week has
far exceeded the number ever required in one week under
any circumstances, although large numbers had been
issued in the same period of time during the railway
mania of 1845, during the French revolution, and the
Great Exhibition.

PERUVIAN Bonds.—Rumours have for some days
been current of a movement on the part of some of the
more influential Peruvian bondholders, having for its
object to obtain from the government of the Republic
certain terms for a new conversion of the debt. Ac-
cording to report, the terms proposed are 1251., in Four-
and-a-Half per Cent. stock for every 1001. of the present
Active Bonds ; and 751. in Four-and-a-Half per Cent.
stock for every 1001. of the present Deferred debt.
THE TEA TRADE.—The deliveries of tea in London
last week were 583,1051 b., being 119,0001 b. more than
in the previous week, when, however, the quantity was

anniversary meeting was held last evening; Dr. J. E.
Gray, F.R.S., president, in the chair. Mr. G. E.
Dennes, the secretary, read the report of the council,
from which it appeared that fourteen new members had
been elected during the year, and that the society con-
sisted of 302 members. The distribution of British and
foreign specimens had been carried on with great suc-
cess, and many thousands of specimens received for dis-
tribution in January next, and the appointment of a cu-
rator, had greatly facilitated these important objects ;
many valuable works had been presented to the library.
The report was unanimously adopted, after which a
ballot took place for the council, when the chairman was
re-elected president ; Mr. J. Ball, M.P., Mr. F. P.
Pascoe, F.L.S., and Mr. J. T. Syme, were elected new.
members of the council.

[ADVERTISEMENT.I-110LLOWAY'S PILLS a safe and
certain Cure for Coughs, ra Colds, and Asthmatical Co-
plaints.—The autumnal quarter is the season when
coughs, colds, and wheezings on the chest are most pre-
valent. Such are the properties of Holloway's Pills,
that if taken at the commencement of the attack, the
virulence of the disease is very much abated, and the
patient thereby suffers little or no inconvenience, but if
neglected it frequently occurs that the foundation of in-
curable disorders are laid ; therefore let those who are
liable to attacks of this nature try these invaluable Pills,
and they are particularly recommended to those who are
afflicted with asthmas and diseases of the chest.—Sold
by all Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.

• These recognizances were 3 esterday declared intormal.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN.—Exeter was
terrified on Friday morning by the report that W.
Wreford, Esq., of Clannaborough, had been found mur-
dered near the Canal Basin last evening. He had 871.
with him in notes and cheques in the afternoon, but not
a shilling was found on him when the body was dis-
covered. It appears that about a quarter before six the
same afternoon, a tall elderley gentleman, with a cloak,
and carrying a stick and umbrella, was noticed by some
men working at the new gas works, at the Exeter Basin,
to pass down the road in front of the gas works, in the
direction of the Haven Banks. Several yards behind
the gentleman, a female was seen. She was supposed
by her appearance to be a country girl. Her dress in-
dicated rather humble circumstances. It was noticed
that her gown was pulled over her shoulders to protect
her from the rain ; she wore an ordinary worsted
shawl. About ten minutes after this, Mr. Stamp, a car-
penter, who has a workshop and yard close adjoining,
heard a female screaming,. He ran out, and saw a
woman, who, there can be no doubt, was the same
female who had been noticed by the men at the gas-
works. She cried out that her uncle was in the water,
and appeared to be in great distress. Stamp instantly
got his grapling irons ; other men came to his assistance.
At the first throw, the cloak was hauled out, and within
a very few minutes a lifeless body was taken out, which
proved to be that of the deceased. There are some cir-
cumstances still to be disclosed, which seemed to indi-
cate that the death was not accidental, but that a foul
murder has been perpetrated. The woman who was
seen following the deceased, who gave the alarm, and
who stated that deceased was her uncle, accompanied
the corpse to Powlesland, and there affected, to be over-
whelmed with grief, and succeeded in making her escape.
She has not been heard of since.
