FAREWELL, OLD YEAR!
marked by the revolution of Empires and the convulsion of
Kingdoms, by the progress of Arts and Exhibitions of Industry,
fraught vs ith events which will be recorded on the historic page,
forming an epoch interesting to the Philosopher and the Mechanic—
a great step in the progress of civilization, and a bond of amity to the
hostile tribes of the human race !
The gathering of all Nations in the chief commercial city in the
world, has been an event long to be remembered. The magnificent
outlay, amazing preparations, and highly cultivated taste displayed
in the memorable Exhibition, aroused the attention of all classes—
from the unskilled barbarian to the professor of science—from the
beloved Sovereign of our country to the most distant member of her
extensive empire : millions visited the metropolis during this display,
and the inhabitants of the City received numerous additions to the
sources of gratification every day unfolding. Great as was this expo-
sition of the resources, skill, and industry of all nations, approved and
instructive as were its results, E. MOSES and SON., though they
had little to learn from the styles and fabrics of dress presented in
the 'World's Show, being connected with all the most celebrated con-
tributors, and engaging the same talent in the manufacture of their
clothing ; yet the had the pleasure of tendering their attention to
thousands who visited their Establishments, and favoured them with
their support : nor were they less gratified by the spontaneous
manner in which approbation was manifested towards their great
business undertakings, all based on such a system as gratifies the
observer while it secures the proper advancement of society by
diffusing a correct and elevated taste. This they assert wills the
most substantial proof that they are giving expression to the se,- ti-
ments of thousands, who will long remember their business Establish-
ments as the principal attractions of the City. The Glass Palace
may henceforth be little regarded, or may be entirely rem,ved ; but
E. MOSES and SON, encouraged by the confidence and patronage of
thousands, will endeavour to render their Establishments attractive
by the magnificence of their Stock, its adaptation to all Seasons, its
unparalleled elegance, end its prices, below those of any other house
in the kingdom ; they therefore hail the
New Year, in the spirit of tradesmen, posted up to the present
moment, ready to meet all the commands of their friends and
patrons in the City or in the Country, to supply at any moment the
most appropriate style of dress at the lowest rate, or to give imme-
diate attention, and, they doubt not, great satisfaction to those
Gentlemen who favour them with their orders in the Bespoke De-
partment.
For festive occasions they invite an inspection of their elegant
fabrics and most modern styles. For Winter Wear they recom-
mend, with the highest satisfaction, their endless variety of warm
and comfortable dress ; they also request the attention of Gentle-
men whose Sons have returned from school to spend their holida3 s,
to pay a visit to their City or West End Establishments, and to
select from their varied and immense Stock of Juvenile Dress, which
has the three following requisites combined—Faanion, Durability,
and Cheapness. Nor have they neglected to provide for the Year
1852 every Article in the Outfitting Department. Furs, the last im-
ported from the far-famed hunting staticns, manufactured to the
latest styles, and preserved from the destruction of the moth by a
peculiar process. To particularize Hats, Caps, Hosiery, Boots,
Shoes, &c., &c., &c., is unnecessary.
A visit to E. MOSES and SON'S Establishments in Aldgate
and Minories, or New Oxford-street, corner of llart-street, will
convey some idea of their dcrermination in reference to the year
1852. No sacrifice of time, talent, or money, will be considered, No
exertions which vigilant and persevering tradesmen can make will
neglected. No opportunity of gratifying the diversified tastes of
their Patrons will be allowed to pass unimproved. But, by massive
outlay of capital, extensive business transactions in the first
circles of fashion, by unabated zeal in all deportrnents of their
daily increasing trade, they are resolved to make such an impres-
sion on their Friends, Patrons, and the Public, as will ensure to
them the celebrity of the first Clothiers and Outfitters in the World.
It is their ambition to maintain the honourable distinction they have
already attained ; to meet the claims of an improving state of so-
ciety ; to extend the benefit of Free Trade ; to turn to the most
profitable accoant the interchange of nations; and to incorporate
with these events the reduction of price on those every day requi-
sites, Elegant and Serviceable Dress. In the execution of these
gigantic designs they are cheered on by the encouragement they
have already received ; and in bidding farewell to the Old Year, they
express their highest sense of obligation for the support awarded to
their establishments, and hope, ere the close of another year, they
will have the satisfaction of being, as they always have been, tini-
vers illy acknowledged as the cheapest, most talented, and unrivalled
Clothiers, Tailors, Outfitters, and Merchants in the World.

Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states :—The
general tone of the grain markets during the past week
have been firm and healthy. Export of wheat from the
East coast to Belgium still continues, and in the absence
of counterbalancing imports this must sooner or later
tell on the value of the article. We had a good show of
farmers' wheat at market to-day, and which being iin
dry condition met very free sale at fully is per qr more
money than the rates current last week; orders for Bel-
gium, very fairly limited, were returned unexccuted.
More inquiry for foreign, and any fresh arrivals would
meet fair sale, but granaried parcels are mostly with-
drawn from the market. A good demand for barley, and
some advance on last week's currency is obtainable. Not

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the London .New Price Current, Jan. 6.)
SUGAR.—To-day the West India Sugar market opened
contrary to general opinion. There was a desire on
the pert of merchants to realize, and a reluctance was
shown by refiners as well as grocers to operate. The
rates accepted privately were 6d under those current
previous to the holidays. Indeed, at the public sales
a reduction of 6d to is took place ; 170 hhds
Barbadoes were, however, all sold, fine yellow
went at 37s to 38s, good mid and good 35s
to 36, 6d, mid 32s 6d to 34s Gd, low 31s to 325, mid
grainy 343; 309 hhds, 14 trcs 19 brls Demerara, low
and mid brown 27s to 28s, good to fine 28a 6d to 29s 6d,
common yellow 30s to 30s 6d, mid and good 31e 6d to
345, good to fine crystalized 38s to 41s, mid 34s 6d to
378, ord and low 32s to 345. The total purchases
amounted to 790 hhds, Lc.
REFINED.—To-day there was no further rise for Re-
fined Sugar; the home trade demand was, however,
good, and supply limited. Brown Lumps realise 44s to
44s Gd. Crushed Sugar is dull of sale for export, and
can easily be obtained at last week's terms.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon only a small demand
prevailed fur Mauritius Sugar, and at auction 1,600 bags
of the new crop were sold at 6d to is decline, and went
at 285 6d to 32s 6d for low to good mid refining.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar submitted to public sale was extensive, and
amounted to 15,500 bags; of this rather more than
bait found buy&'rc, while Benares, of which the
chief part consisted, went 6d to is per cwt
cheaper, low to middling selling at 338 6d
to 35:4, good mid to good 35s 6d to 375, fine and superior
37s 63 to 495; other kinds, however, generally sup-
ported former rates, dry date mid and good selling at
29s 6d to 335, low and good grainy yellow 33s to 37s 63,
brown ditto 29s to 325, low and mid like Mauritius 26s
to 29s 6d, better sorts 3ls to 335, and soft brown 22s to
23s Gd per cwt.
FOREIGN.—To-day the private operations in Foreign
Sugar were small for all purposes, and in in some cases
rather lower rates were acceded to. At auction 130
baskets Java duty paid were sold at easier terms, brown
went at 28s Gd to 29s al, and ord to good grey 30s
to 345.
Molaassfs.—Honey is yet in small supply, and there
are several buyers; low to find Jamaica realises from
36s to 56s per cwt. Tamarinds are wanted, and stock is
still on the decrease, West India fetches 20s to 30s, and
East India 8s to 125 per cwt.
Cocoa.—This afternoon the demand was not better
for Trinidad Cocoa; at auction 460 bags were nearly all
withdrawn on account of the low rates offered.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was sought
after, but stiffer rates being demanded operated against
business privately; at auction the sound of 400 bags
was taken in at 40s 6d for real good ord. Plantation met
with attention, but at previous terms holders were disposed
to realise; at public sale 112 casks 117 bags all found
buyers, mid realised 50a 6d to 51s 6d, low mid 49s to
50s, other sorts 41s to 48s 6d, and triage 36s to 425.
Of Bahia 1,200 bags were mostly taken in, mid at 355;
a small part sold at 37s for good ord; and 12 barrels
Berbice at 45s 6d for fine ord.

TEA.—Since this day week a large demand has beeu
experienced for Congou from home dealers, and specula-
tive purchases have also been made. The descriptions
most in request have been those under is per lb, on
which an advance of id has been obtained ; other sorts
fully sustained previous terms. General quotations are for
low Congou Bd, good ord sound Bid to 9d, blackish leaf
9W to 1 lid, superior and Pekoe kinds is to is 6d. In
Souchong operations are upon a more extended scale, and
rates are firmer—low to mid selling at 9d to 1 Id, and
good to fine is to is 10d. Oolong sells more freely,
common at 10d to Is, and mid to fine at is ld to is sd;
there is also less disposition on the part of merchants to
realise. There is at present no rise to record for Green, the
demand is however on the increase. Hyson of low and
mid qualities realised is to is 3d, good to fine is 4d to
2s, superior 2s 2d to 2s 10d. Gunpowder Canton 9d to
Is Id; good to fine Hyson kind Is 9d to 2s 4d; inferior
Is 3d to is 8d; Imperial Canton 11d to is Id; Hyson
kind Is 3d to 2s 6d; Young Hyson, good to fine is 3d
to 2s 6d; low to middling is to is 2d; Twanktsy
Ild to is 2d, and Hyson Skin 10d to is 4d. In
Scented Orange Pekoe several transactions have taken
place and at firm rates; good to fine selling at is 2d to
is 9d; inferior and mid 10d to is Id, the former being
most in request. In Flowery Pekoe there is, however,
still little passing, good to fine can be obtained at is 4d
to Is 8d; low to mid is Id to is 3d: Caper rather more
in request at led to is 2d, and scented ditto at lld to is
5d per pound.
HIOE.—To-day little was done privately in East India
Rice, and late rates are barely supported, several parcels
being declared for auction.
SPIRITS.—Few purchases have been made in Lee-
ward Island Rum, and holders appear disposed to sell
at Is 5d to is 6d proof. East India is rather
cheaper, limited transactions having taken place
at is 3d to is 31d. Demerara is in a quiet
state; supply is more plentiful, and rather lower
prices are accepted; sales of 30 to 40 over proof
having been made at 2s to 2s 4d. In Jamaica pur-
chases have been immaterial by shippers or home
dealers; fine quality 34 to 38 over proof can
be obtained at 3s 2d to 4s 2d, good mid to
good 32 to 35 over 2s 2d to 35, mid 2s 6d to 2s Bd, and
low quality 28 to 30 over proof 2s 3d to 2s 5d per gal-
lon. Hum is 2d to 5d cheaper than last season. Full
terms are demanded for Brandy—Cognac best brands
of the vintage of 1851 being held for 4s 2d to 4s 4d, 1850
ditto 4s 6d to 4s Bd, 1848 ditto 4s 9d to 48 I Id, 1848 ditto
5s 3d to 5s sd, older 5s 7d to 6s 6d, low to mid 2s 10d to
4s, and Bordeaux 2s 2d to 2s 4d. British made Spirit is
still quoted at 9s 8d to 95 9d net cash, and Gin at 8s for
22 per cent under proof; the market is, however, quiet. In
Geneva limited sales are made at is 7d to Is 8d for ord,
and fine Is 9d to 2s.

Imnoo.—The demand continues trifling for East
India, both for shipping and home consumption; those
parties that are inclined to sell are compelled to accept
rates at 2d to 3d per lb under the last quarterly sales, as
the accounts from Calcutta are favourable with respect
to the crop, which is expected to reach 120,000 mounds.
Full rates are obtained for Spanish, and at present little
is doing.
COCHINEAL.—This afternoon the demand was good,
and at auction 450 bags of Honduras were sold at full
rates, and realised 2s 8d to 2s 10d for low to good mid
Silvers, black ord to good 3s 3d to 3s 9d. 10 bags Mex-
can blacks 33 per lb.
PuovisioNs.—ln consequence of rather lower terms
having been submitted to tor Irish Butter, operations are
to a fair extent. Carlow, Clonmel, and Kilkenny
realised 72s to 83s, Waterford 66s to 725, Cork 74s to 765,
Limerick 65s to 70s, Tralee and Sligo 64s to 68s per cwt.
The demand for Foreign is decidedly brisker, and rates
rule firm; Friezland fine fetched 88s to 90s, other sorts
615 to 76si Cloningen fine 603 to 664 inferior 52s to 565;

THE PRESENT TO LORD GRANVILLE.
A letter, of which the following is a translation,
has been addressed by Lord Granville to M. Sallan-
drouze de Lamornaix, returning thanks for the hand-
some present recently received by him from the late
Commissioner for the Great Exhibition :
" Monsieur le Commissaire-Geaeral,—l have the ho-
nour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, in
which you inform me, in such flattering terms, that,
itat wasthu decided
suggestionby cola' the Minister of Commerce,
decree of the President of
the Republic that I should bo presented with
a coifre in ebony, ornamented with paintings in
Sevres porcelain, as a testimonial of the part taken by me
at the Great Exhibition in London. It is with a degree
of satisfaction, which I find it very difficult to express,
that I accept this magnificent present. I shall always
regard it as a precious testimony that France has appre-
ciated the desire which the Royal Commission had of
.justifying the confidence so nobly placed in it by the Go-
vernment and the people of France, and I shall preserve
this rich specimen of the progress of industrial arts
among you as one of the most valuable memorials of an
enterprise which has not a little contributed to tighten
the bonds by which the two countries are united.
" I beg, Monsieur, that you will act as my interpre-
ter towards the President of the Republic, and all those
who have taken a share in doing mo this honour, in ex-
pressing all my gratitude.
" I am happy, Monsieur, that this communication has
been made to me through you, who in all our frequent
communications have shown, together with a great zeal
for those whom you represented, a desire at the same
time to facilitate the labours of the Royal Commission;
and I avail myself of this opportunity to repeat the as-
surance of my most distinguished sentiments.

COLLEGE ROBB.ERIES.IN CAMBRIDGE

Monday, Henry Pad wick Butler (medical student)
At the Cambridge Borough Sessions, holden on
was put to the bar, charged with stealing two gold
watches, a dressing case, and other articles, from the
rooms of members of Magdalen and Emmanuel
Colleges. The particulars appeared in The Sun at
the time the offence was committed. The trial
excited intensw interest. There were now
three several indictments against the prisoner,
and he pleaded guilty to the first, which
charged him with stealing a gold watch, the
property of Mr. Brown, of Emmanuel College. No
evidence was offered on the other two, and he was for-
mally acquitted on those charges. Mr. Leapingwell,
who appeared on behalf of the prisoner, then addressed
the Learned Recorder, characterising this as a
most melancholy case, as all the prisoner's friends
were highly respectable, though he (Mr. Leaping-
well) would be one of the last to urge that eircum.•
stance as any extenuation of the offence of the pri-
soner. He trusted, however, that the Court would
allow the previous good character of the prisoner to
weigh somewhat in mitigation of punishment, and
begged to assure the Court that, in the event of its
sparing the prisoner from a sentence of transportation,
it was the fixed determination of his friends to send him
out of this country. Mr. Leapingwell
proceeded to cha-
racterise this as one of those mysterious cases which
sometimes occurred where the offenders had previously,
borne irreproachable characters, were in good circum-
stances, and had
no apparent motive for the commis-
sion of felony. Mr. W. Musgrove, residing near Old
K Charlton,
—eat, who had been the prisoner's preceptor
for 18 months, and had known him 10 years, gave him
a high character for generosity and kindness of dispo-
sition and trustworthiness in every respect. The pri-
soner left school about ten months ago, and had since
been on visiting terms with the family of witness.
Mr. Musgrove stated that Colonel Arbuckle was to
have attended to have given the prisoner a character,
having known him from his childhood; but was de-
tained. Mr. Leapingwell proposed to put in a let-
ter from Colonel Arbuckle, but the Court rejected it,
and the prisoner, who seemed during the late trial to
be struck with the most acute sense of his degraded
position and to desire to avoid the public gaze, was
sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and hard
labour. The prisoner's late father was a surgeon in
large practice at Charlton, in Kent ; his mother is
still living, and the whole family have been in the
habit of moving in the best society.

MURDER,-
IN GOVAN, NEAR
GLASGOW.
It is our painful duty to record the particulars of
a barbarous murder, committed late on Thursday
night on Friday morning on the body of a
Margaret Lyle, residing in the vicinity
o f the o rearlymed
village of Govan, near Glasgow. Though
several persons are in custody charged with the per-
petration of the bloody deed, and though the whole
womannagreateri
eh
part of them may be found to have
in its commission, we understand the
evidencerh
has been collected points more di-
rectly to one of their number, a carter of the name of
Neil Strachan, as the person who actually caused the
death of the unfortunate
beeno
t implicated
w which
woman. From the isolated
position of the heuse in which the murder was com-
mitted, and the fact that all who could have any
knowledge of it are more or less the objects of sus-
picion, the precise circumstances are as yet involved
in some degree of mystery; but enough is known to
show that the deceased was beaten to death in the
most cruel and barbarous manner by one or other of
the , persons now in custody. The features are
swelled to twice their usual size, and are disfigured
almost beyond recognition. The head is cut in
several places ; the neck and
shoulders are one mass of
wounds ; and, in short, the whole body is covered with
bruises as if it had been hacked by a raging maniac.
The house in which this horrible murder was per-
petrated forms the extreme corner of a range of low
brick buildings standing in the fields near Bolton-
street, South ginning-place, and used as stables by,
Mr. Brownlie, contractor. They are completely de-
tached from the surrounding houses, and, with the
exception of Neil Strachan and his family, who re-
sided in two small apartments at the end of the range,
were untenanted. Strachan is an old gray-headed
man, a widower, and the father of four children, two
of them under ten years of age. He is described to
be a quiet, inoffensive person while sober, but one of
those who go mad under the influence of intoxicating
liquors. It is alleged he had formed an improper con-
nexion with Margaret Lyle, the supposed victim of his
passionate violence. This ill-fated woman:was about,3o
years of age, was unmarried, and was the mother of
two or three illegitimate children, of whom Strachan is
said to be the father, though he never acknowledged
the paternity, nor allowed them to live in his house.
She usually resided with her mother in Long Gavan,
but frequently left her home to cohabit with Strachan,
and was regarded by all who knew her as a woman of
profligate habits.
It appears that Lyle, a female friend of similar cha-
racter, and a labourer named John Watson, met in
Strachan's house on Thursday morning, for the pur-
' pose of passing the day of the New Year in their own
way. They were visited in the forenoon by one of
