VINIIGRATION.—Thousands are now leaving
Old England for various countries and other climates—to all
these E. MOsEs & SON confidently recommend their complete OUT-
FITS. The number of years E. MOSES and SON have attended to
this department, and their perfect acquaintance with every article
requisite for the passage out, and for every climate in the world, is
a reason why they supply Outfits better and cheaper than any other
Establishment.
Every Emigrant should therefore provide himself with an Outfit
at E. MOSES and SON'S, every article being selected with the care
and experience of the largest Outfitters in the Universe.
On an Outfit rendered precious to the Emigrant by twofold claims
—English make and daily use—a value is put far above the price
paid for it at E. MOSES and SON'S, their charges being so ex-
tremely low for the valuable goods comprising their unequalled
Outfits.
The Emigrant, looking at these when in his hut or house in far
distant lands, will wisely think how fortunate he had not neglected
to take out his Outfit from E. MOSES and SON'S. What could he
have done without it, and how trifling their charge to what he must
have paid elsewhere? What a variety of valuable services it had
rendered him, by becoming a constant accession to his daily com•
forts, and how entirely impossible would it be in many places to ob-
tain any goods like those comprised in the Outfits from E. MOSES
and SON. They supply them for 3/. 155., Of. 155., 111. Ils., and up-
wards. A detailed list can be had on application, or forwarded, post
free, to any part of the kingdom.

FRANCE.

The /ndependance of Brussels copies from the
Bulletin dc Paris a long letter addressed to it by the
Viscount de l'Espine, recommending an appeal to the
electors of France for the proclamation of the Em-
pire. The Inctipendance publishes the letter, with a
grave introduction, which would lead the public to
believe that the communication of M. de l'Espine was
a mere pilot baloon, to ascertain the direction to
be given to the project which he supposes to exist.
There is nothing, however, in the character of
the lithographic sheet which publishes the letter of
M. de l'Espine, or in the position of its author, to
give to them the importance attached by the Indepen.
dunce. M. de l'Espine concludes his letter as follows ;
" The French nation can never comprehend the
nephew of the Emperor receiving the Senate and the
Legislative body at the Tuileries by the side of a vacant
throne. France knows what is suffered by short govern-
ments. L9t the character of the votes of the 10th and
.20th December be appreciated. Let France be again
consulted, and we shall see that what she wants is the
Empire"
The; Brussels journals state that the verdict of ac-
quittal in the affair of thn Bulletin Fraiisais was only
adopted by a majority of r to O.

GERMANY.

The Kreuz Zeitung states that Bavaria has made a
distinct declaration to the Prussian Government, that
it intends to remain in the Zollverein, having full
confidence in the commercial policy Prussia has pur-
sued in. behalf of that body. The fact that Bavaria
has sent an Envoy.to the Commercial Conference at
Vienna loses any importance that might have been
before attached to it.
The last sittieg of the Diet of Frankfort, at which
the different States were to have given their deci-
sion on the scheme of a commercial union lately dis-
cussed in the Diet under the influence of Austria,
has produced no result. Prussia has carried with
her the states of the north against it, and so many
others have made their support conditional on great
modifications being made in the plan, that a union on
the basis proposed is impossible. Bavaria, Wurtem-
burg, and Saxony, the political allies of Austria, are
among the states who thus impose conditions. The
exact nature of them has not been declared, but it is
rumoured that the prospect of receiving a large por-
tion of their revenue in Austrian paper currency is
not relished by these powers. There are some things
in which calculation must take the place of sentiment
and feeling, and the safety of the public revenue is
one of them.

the same day, the turn was in favour of the seller. Bar-

secondary qualities unaltered. Oats, a slow sale, at

unaltered in value,with a limited sale.
DERBY SMITHFIELD MARKET, DEC. 30.—Our market
to-day was well supplied with fat beasts, most of which
were of good quality; the attendance of purchasers was

prices were asked for all sorts, but the demand was flat,

MARKET NEWS.-( TiliS DAY

CORN-EECHANGE-FRIDAY.

Coastwise from Essex, Kent, and Suffolk the arrivals
Of English Wheat, this week, have been moderate, viz.,
2,390 quarters; but fresh up, to-day, by land carriage,
tke supply was ;mall. The sbow of samples of both
Red and White being very limited, and the attendance
of both town and country millers on the increase, all
kinds of home-grown Wheat moved off steadily, at
fully Monday's prices. For forward delivery very little
was doing. The imports of Foreign Wheat have been
4,070 quarters, chiefly from the westward, and of in-
ferior quality. Fine D4utzie parcels were held firmly,
at higher rates; but the amount of business doing was
not large. Low and middling kinds were unaltered.
For 11 sating cargoes we had very few inquiries. With
both English and Foreign Barley we were seasonably
well supplied. Malting parcels moved off steadily, at
full quotations, but grinding and distilling sorts con-
manned very little attention. We had a fair inquiry
for Malt, at late figures. Good heavy and fresh Oats
were quite as dear. Damp parcels met a slow inquiry.
Beans and Peas witnout animation; but Indian Corn
and Flour were very firm. The imports of the latter
article are only 200 sacks.

SMITHFIELD.

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with
beasts, both as to number and quality. On the whole,
the Beef trade ruled steady, at prices equal to those of
Monday last—the primest Scots having realised 3. 10d
per Albs. Owing to the high rates demanded by the
salesmen, the demand for Sheep was inactive. Never-
theless, the late advance was well supported. Prime old
Downs sold at from 4s 4d to 4s 6d per Albs, and a
clearance was readily effected. Prime small Calves
realised extreme currencies, Otherwise, the Veal trade
was heavy. Pigs changed hands slowly. Mulch Cows
were selling at from 141 to 181 5. each, including their
small calf.

face is conspicuous in the portraits of the whole series of
Sovereigns, from George I. to Victoria, and has been
equally marked in other members of the family. The
females of the ducal House of Gordon have long been
remarkable for a peculiarly elegant conformation of the
neck. The Clackmannanshire Bruces, who are de-
scended from a common stock with the famous Robert
Bruce of Scotland, are said to have that strongly-marked
form of the cheek-bones and jaws which appears on the
coins of that heroic monarch, as it did in his actual face
when his bones were disinterred at Dunfermline, about
thirty years ago. The prevalent tallness of the inha-
bitants of Potsdam, many of whom are descended from
the gigantic guards of Frederick I.; the Spanish features
observable in the people of the county of Galway, in
which, some centuries ago, several Spanish settlements
were made; and the hereditary beauty of the women of
Prague—are well-known fasts which have frequently at-
tracted the attention of chronologists. The burges,es
of Rome (the most invariable portion of every popula
tion), exhibit at the present day precisely the same type
of face and form as their ancestors, whose busts
may be seen carved in relief on the ancient sarcophagi,
and the Jewish physiognomies portrayed upon the se-
pulchral monuments of Egypt are identical with those
which may be observed among modern Jews in the
streets of any of our great cities.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

. _
DIRECT LONDON AND MANCHESTER.
A compromise of the suits in Chancery against the
directors of this company, formerly known as Reming-
ton's line, has just been made by the official manager,
with the concurrence of the Master, under the powers of
the Act of Parliament, the principal condition being
that certain directors of this Company and of another
company, called Rastrick's, shall jointly pay over 16,0001.
to the official manager, which will come in as assets
under the estate to be distributed in a dividend among
the shareholders. The suits in question were commenced
against the directors, calling on them to account for the
transfer of 40,0001. of the deposits paid over by the,
directors of Remington's line, without the authority of
the shareholders, as alleged amalgamation
o smi tonoeny
Rastrick's Direct London and Manchester line. In addi-
tion to the 16,0001. other moneys are being collected,
which will increase the dividend to be ultimately. declared
by enforcing the payment of the original thtl
shares by those who signed the deed,but who neglected
to pay upon them, and the heavy, bills of cost of the
solicitors who carried out the Parluunentdary and othet

Bentinck in behalf of every assailed or depressed branch of
British and colonial industry—the vast pains which he took
in procuring authentic information—and the enormous
amount of private labour he underwent in the preparation of
those materials which have thrown a novel light upon dis-
puted doctrines of economy, are faithfully chronicled in this
most interesting volume. The history of the famous session

which he is so consummate a master is deeply in-
teresting. He has traced this memorable struggle with a
vivacity and power ur equalled as yet in any narrative of

NEW YEAR'S PRESEINT6.—This is the gay and jo-
cund period,
when the intercourse of love and friendship,
from almost immemorial usage, is displayed by the exchange
of gifts. If the best judgment may be consulted in the
choice of a Christmas or New Year's Gift, it will surely de-
cide
upon something which has for its object the pronuition
of personal comfort, health, and beauty of something which
may create, or effectually preserve a charm—a gratifiosktion
which can only be.obtained through the aid of Messrs. Row-
lands' three grand discoveries for the toilet—their Macassar
Oil, Kalydor, and Odonto or Pearl Dentifrice. Experience
has long sufficed to incontestably prove their efficacious ore-

THE OUT-PORT OF LONDON.

Fortunately, it would not be extravagant to
predict that before many years have elapsed,
Langstone will have equalled, and that before
another half century is completed, it may possibly
have immeasurably surpassed, both in wealth
and importance, the second port in the United
Kingdom--Liverpool. Langstone—bear in mind
—is the noble harbour (the capabilities of which
seem to have been hitherto forgotten) situated on
the eastern side of Portsea Island, being, in
fact, a kind of Siamese companion to the harbour
of Portsmouth. Fortunately, we have said, be-
cause on the completion of the proposed docks and
the projected railway, a scarcely calculable series
of advantages will be secured for ever to the
mercantile interests of the population. Numerous
shipwrecks will be prevented, numerous lives will
be saved, and commerce will receive a very appre-
ciable and enormous advancement. How all this
may be effected, can be at once very readily indi-
cated.

Beginning at the beginning, we may presume,
of course, that it is pretty generally known by the
intelligent part of the community that Portsea
Island is flanked by two harbours of considerable
magnitude--one the harbour of Langstone, the
other the harbour of Portsmouth. We believe,
however, that it is by no means so generally blown
that Langstone Harbour holds out to the enter-
prise of the country a number of very extraordi-
nary advantages, which, until now, appear to have
been altogether overlooked. It has undoubtedly
long been felt that an enterprise of the character
ease
here intimated has been growing more and more
glaringly requisite, because of the astonishing
incr
of late years visible in the merchant
trafac along the southern coast of England. In
ponsequence of the absence of any such undertak-
ing, vessels have been hitherto compelled to incur,
most unnecessarily, the peril and expense of the
voyage up Channel. Supposing there had been
manifested somewhat earlier a sagacity capable of
PP reciatin g
this great requirement--a
sagacity
such as that which appears to be at length

TURKEY.

The Independance- Nelgeflas the following by
electric telegraph from Berlin :—" Constantinple,
Dec 4. The Bank of Constantinople refuses to
receive the paper money of the State. This deci-
sion has produced an immense sensation. A mo-
netary crisis is considered imminent."
. Letters from Smyrna of the 22d ult., says that
the pirates had put an end to trade in the Archi-
pelago, the maritime insurance companies hav-
ing refused any longer to insure vessels in
those waters. A Turkish ship had been seized
by pirates within sight of Smyrna, and all
the passengers and crew had been put
to death. From Syria, we learn that neither the
Seraskier nor the Druses being able to claim the
victory ; after much marching and some fighting,
they had concluded an armistice. It was proposed
to reduce the Druses by negotiation.
The Prince of Montenegro has issued a decree,
threatening exile to all those of his subjects who
should refuse to take arms against the Turks. His
army occupied a strong position about three hours'
march from the town of Podgorizza. Various skir-
mishes had taken place with the Turkish troops,
and a decisive battle was expected. The Pacha of
Scutari had taken the field at the head of 10,000
men, against the Montenegroes.

EXCISE RETURNS:

The Excise statements for the first three quarters of
the present year have just been issued. The following
table exhibits the quantities of each article charged with
duty in the United Kingdom during those periods, as
compared with the corresponding nine months of 1851,
and also the quantities retained for home consumption.
They all show an increase, consequent upon the general
prosperity of the country, but the small quantities ex-
ported continue to indicate the effect of the vexatious
restrictions which prevent them from being improved and
cheapened so as to compete with similar foreign produc-
tions :

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
The following testimonial is another proof of the great efficacy
of this medicine :

" Winchmore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 1851.
Sir.—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from
taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you
and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of
nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine.
I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion,
but a Mend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills,
I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and during
this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other
medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg
further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and
we know of nothing to equal it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
THOMAS PROVINCE.

" To Mr. T. Prout, 229, Strand, London.
This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for
correcting all disorders of the stomach and bowels, and is a
pleasant, safe, easy aperient ; they unite the recommendation of a
mild operation with the most successful effect, and require no re-
straint of diet or confinement during their use.
Ask for FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH, and observe the
name and address of " Thomas Front, 229, Strand, London," on the
Government Stamp.

SniTE OP EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, DEC. 4.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Hin-
dostan, with the Calcutta mail of November 7, arrived
at Suez on the Ist inst., and the Achilles from Bombay
on the 2d, with passengers for England, to proceed by
the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Had-
dington, now hourly expected.
Last week, Mr. A. Paget arrived here from Athens,
to take charge of the Consulate-General pending the
absence of the Hon. C. A. Murray, and the illness of
Mr. Gilbert. It is hoped that Mr. Murray will not pro-
long his absence, as, owing to the influence he has gained
in Egypt, and particularly over the mind of Abbas
Pasha, his presence is very conducive to British in-
terests.

Abbas Pasha has not been very well of late, and has
been talking of proceeding to the Upper Country for
change of air. His Highness takes great care of his
health, and is much afraid of dying. His two delegates,
Nubar Ney and Abdallah Bey (H. Rickards) returned
from England by the last French steamer, having suc-
ceeded in effecting a loan for 300,0001. sterling in the
name of the Viceroy, among some of the directors of
the Peninsular and Oriental Company. This money has
been raised merely to accommodate the Sultan, who is
much in want of pecuniary assistance, while his High-
ness gains no advantage by it himself. It has always
been the policy of the Porte to weaken Egypt by di-
minishing its pecuniary resources. Abbas Pasha was
made, some time ago, to pay enormous sums of money to
the several living sons of Mehemet Ah, as an indemni-
fication for the land which they, as sons, considered they
had a right to ; and now his Highness has to borrow
money to assist the Sultan out of his difficulties, though
he owes him nothing whatever, the tribute due being
entirely paid up.
Said Pasha, the heir apparent to the Pashalic of
Egypt, returned to Egypt yesterday from Constanti-
nople after an absence of several months. It is to be
hoped that a reconciliation will ensue between him and
the Viceroy, as both parties cannot but be losers by the
misunderstanding that exists between them.
There is not much activity at present on the railway
works, the Nile being at its complete height, and the
engineers are waiting for the water to subside. Mr.
Rouse, one of the leading engineers, goes to-day to
Trieste for a short absence.

Prices of all produce are falling. Freights have risen
to 6s. 6d. and 7s. per quarter. Exchange on London,
981 piastres per pound sterling.
