AFFAIRS OF BIJSINESS.—In every affair of
trade, buying or selling, equality and prices, are the condi-
tions of satisfactory contract. The superior quality of all goods
offered to public inspec ion, or made t• order by E. MOSES and
SON, is so well known, and has been so long tried, that very little
need be said on that subject ; but the unity of low prices, and the
very best qualities, is a system of business which E. MOSES and
SON were the that to introduce, and have been the most successful
in carrying out. This they have made applicable to every branch of
their gigantic business, and have adhered to it during all changes in
the seasons or the markets. They have never hesitated to pay the
best prices for the most artistic and accomplished workmanship—
hut they will by no means inflict higher charges on any of their pa-
trons. The LADIES are furnished with HABITS the most graceful
in style, and from the finest and most fashionable materials, or
with HOSIERY, the neatest, most novel, and useful. GENTLE-
MEN are provided with the best materials and workmanship in
every description of ATTIRE which their professions, engagements,
or the season may render necessary. All good, or orders are chargc
much lower prices at E. MOSES and SON'S, than at any other
house in the world.

GOLD FROM AUSTRAL I A.—The last arrival amount-
ed to upwards of one and a half millions sterling—a large por-
tion of which was for business transactions in Australia, by E.
MOSES and SON, their C LOT !ENG having sold for a vast amount
of " Golden Treasure," and the satisfaction it is giving, warrants in-
ve4tments to any extent. All EMIGRANTS, MErCHANTS, or SHIP-
PERS, may avail themselves of the most SALEABLE, because the
BEST and most SUITABLE GOODS, at E. MOSES and SON'S, the
prices being considerably lower than at any other house—the t•ame
advantages are offered to Emigrants of every Class, their Outfits or
any portion of them, being charged wholesale prices A depart-
ment kept for Outfitting, and full List of Outfits and shipsailing in-
formation may be had on application, or post free to any part of the
kingdom.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against.imposition, having learned that the untradesinan-like
falsehood of "Being connected with their Establialunant," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE
TOUT AND MATURITY. SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
H
DR. SAMUEL, LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic
Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall. London, &c., &c.
f Al AY be consulted,, personally, or by letter, on
IL the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregu'arities and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist-
ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri-
ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting a their bitterness may be remover),
and how the evil and its con.equences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely fed of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of Tears been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
tree. In selecting this department if practice, he has been amply
rem arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

The principles' of the HYGEIAN or mORISONIAN SYSTEM
are contained in the f dlowing propositions:-
1. The vital principle is iu the blood.
2. Everything in the body is derived f om the blood.
3. All constitutions are radically the same.
4. All diseases arise from impurity of the blood, or, in other words,
from act hnonious humours lodged in the body.
5. Pain and diocese have the same origin, and may therefore be
considered synonymous.
6. From the intimate connexion subsisting between mind and
body, the health of the one must conduce to the serenity of the other.
7. Proper purgation by vegetables is the only effectual mode of
eradicating d,se..se.
15. The discovery of a vegetable compound, capable of being di-
gested, and mixing with the blood, so as to Impart to it that energy
requisite for ridding the body of alt impurities, was a desideratum.
16. This discovery was made by JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist,
in the composition of the VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE

AT a numerous and highly respectable MEET-
ING of MERCHANTS and TRADERS of the CITY of
i.oNDON, held at the London Tavern, on Monday, the 14th March,
1853,
( JOHN MASTERMAN, Esq., M.P., in the Chair,

was proposed by J. Horsley Palmer, Esq ; seconded by Samuel
Gregson, Esq ,

That in the opinion of this Meeting the present duty of 2s. 214 d.
per lb. on tea, or from 200 to 250 per cent., is a most oppressive tax
upon an article of universal consumption, I.llich enhances the price
so considerably as seriously to limit the demand; and that such is
directly opposed to the established commercial policy of this coun-
try. That the effect of this duty upon our commercial relations
with China is preiudicial in the highest degree, inasmuch as the
trade being principally one of barter, our exports of British wenn-
faetures are dependent rpon the extent of eur imports from that
country —it may, therefore, be fairly expezted that our trade would he
materially increased, we 'et there a considerahle augmentation of the
returns at present received from China. That a large reduction of
duty is important, irasmach as tea is a favourite article of consump-
tion with the great mass of the people, whoile comforts and social
habits would be promoted by plac'ug withln their reach an accept-
able aid wholesome beverage rt a reasonable price. And further,
that as a Pathan- ettary Committee, in July, 1847, after a length-
ered inquiry, tecominended to the House of Oo ntr ols a considerable
reduction of the duty on tea it is hi'ihly expedielt at this time to
urge the Chancellor of the Exchequer to .re-consider the Report of
the Committee, with a view of submitting to the house a proposal for
carrying their recommendation into effect.
--- - - -

. -
It was proposed by W. Crawford, Esq. ; seconded by Bush M.
Matheson, Esq.,

That inasmuch as protracted discussions upon alterations of duty
detrimentally affect the interests of all parties both hero and abroad,
promote undue speculation, and terd to diminish the amount of
duties received for the revenue, it is highly desirable that any reduc-
tion proposed as regards the tea duties should take affect with the
least possible delay.

It was proposed by G. T. Brain, Esq. ; seconded by Lewis Huth' Esq.
That as regards the extent of reduction, meeting is fully im-
pressed with the importance of it: being of sueb a magnitude as would
secure to the 'people a difference in price sufficiently important to en-
sure such inm eased consumption as would promptly restore any
temporary deficiency in the revenue.
It was proposed by Richard Twining, Esq., jun.; seconded by John

Entwistle Esq., •
That the following Memorial be signed, for presentation to the
Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, conveying to him the views of this
Meeting on the subject, and that the same be handed to him by John
Mast erroan, Esq. M.P., and Samuel Gregson, Esq., M.P.
was proposed by J. Ingram Travers, Esq. ; seconded by Jas. Lay-

ton, Esq.,
That the cordial thPnks of tbis Meeting he given to John Master-
man, Esq., M.P., for his conduct in the chair this day, and for his
ready attention at all times to the wishes of his constituent's.
To THE RiGHT HON. WILLIAM EWALT GLADSTO-..rE, M.P., CHAN-
CELLOR OF HER MAJESTY'S EXCHEQUER, &C.
The M emorial of the undersigned Merchants and Traders of
the City of London.
showeth,—That your Memorialists are deeply interested in the
trade with China, or engaged in the sale of tea.
That your Memorialists consider the present duty charged upon
tea to be exorbitant a id oppressive, and molt inconsistent with the
avowed commercial policy of the nation, of securing to the mass of
the people all necessary articles of consumption at the cheapest pos-
sible rate.
That this excessive duty interferes most pittitiously with the con-
sumption of tea.
That the natural development of the China trade (In most in-
stances one of barter) is greatly impeded by the imposition of a high
duty upon one of the principal articles of import, as the en tent of
British manuf ctures to be introduced into that country must be
regulated by the returns of China preduc s which we are enabled to
consume
That your 3femorialists consider that could returns be taken from
China in sufficient quantity, the exportation of Briti-h manufactures
would be increased to an enormous extent, China being not only the
most popu ous country in the world, bat its inhabitants are probably
the most dress-loving people and the most prone to the indulgence of
cheap luxuries of any nation with which we are acquainted.
That your Memorialists are convinced that the reduction of the
duty on tea will ensure a largely increased consumption of that
article.
That the loss of revenue occasioned by a redaction of duly would
be speedily repaired by sues increased consvmption, provided the
reductioa we-e sufficiently important to cause a sensible diminution
in the price, and one which would be felt by the mass of the people,
whose purchases, though made in very small quantities, are enor-
mous in the aggregate.
That the duties imposed by the Chinese tariff on British goods
varies from 5 to 7 per cent., while the duty on tea, their staple
export to Great Britain varies from 200 to 250 per cent.—a fact
which should induce ,the Government of this country to take the
earsic‘,t opportnnity.of lessening the excessive duty now charged
thereon.

That independently of commercial views, the extended consump-
tion oft ea in this country may be deensei a moral and social qu ca-
tion of great importance. Tea yields a wholesome and agreeable
beverage to every class of the population, one that is increasingly
desired as a subs itute for intoxicating liquors, and is peculiarly valued
by the humbler classes. whose comforts wpuld be increased, and
whose social habits would be improved were the cost of so important
an article of consumption materially reduced.
That in reference to navigation, a large reduction is important.
Tea is a light and bulky article, requiring
considerable tonnage in
proportion to its value • the continued emigration to Australia will
direct a large amount of shipping to the southern hemisphere, a part
of which, proceeding to China, would find profitable employment,
were a large additional quantity of tea required in this coantry.
That your Memorialists would further mention that during the
past six years, while the shipments of tea from China to Great Bri-
tain have only increased from 57,600,00 i lbs. to 65,000,0001b5., the ex-
ports of tea to the United States, where no duty is imposed, have in-
creased from 18,000,0001b5. to 34.300,000 lbs.,—a striking illustration
of the expansive power of the tea trade if relieved from burthensome
and oppressive duties.
That in our colonies and dependencies where tea is free or lightly
taxed, the consumption is, in proportion to the population, in some
cases two, in others three to one more than in this country, a fact
which further strongly illustrates the capability of greatly increased
consumption.
In conclusion, your Memorialists will only refer to the elaborate
investigation into the working of the China trade by a Committee
of the House of Commons in 1847. The Report of that Committee,
which entered most fully and ably into all questions arising out of
this important branch of our commerce, contained the following re-
commendation to the house :

" Your Committee think themselves warranted in recommending
to the house a considerable reduction in the duty on tea at the
earliest period which in it.. wisdom .it may see fit, as most desirable
in itself, with a view to the comforts and the social habits of the
people, as involving but a temporary loss to the Revenue, and as
essential to the extension of our trade with China, nay, even to its
maintenance at the point which it has already reached."
Under there circumstances, your Memorialists pray for a liberal
and pr,)mpt revision of the Tea Duties.

In the. Pays there is a long article on the pro-
bable effect that "the influx of gold will have on the
relation of trade, and on the question whether the
French Government ought to adopt some measure
as a proviiion against the consequences which
would otherwise result from a serious alteration in
the value of gold. The Pays does not, however,
express any decided opinion as to the course to be
pursued.
The Emperor has just named the Marquis Tur-
got, ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs, as Ambassador
at the Court of Spain, in the place of General
Aupick, lately nominated as Senator.
About three o'clock the day before yesterday,
says the Constitutionnel, the Emperor tried a horse
for a short time in the court-yard of the Tuileries.
A number• of persons hid assembled along the iron
railings, admiring the skill and dexterity with
which his Majesty mastered the noble animal.
We read in the Moniteur :—" Some foreign
journals have published pretended copies of the
sermon which the Abbe Lacordaire delivered in
the church of St. Roch on the 12th of February
last, in presence of the Archbishop of Paris, in
favour of the Christian schools. These copies
having contained odious attacks against the Go-
vernment, the Minister of Public Worship wrote
to the Archbishop of Paris to inquire how far
they were exact. He received the following
reply

" Monsieur le Ministre,—l received with your letter
of the 12th of March, the extracts of the Observateur
Beige, containing the pretended exordium of the sermon.
which the Abbe Lacordaire delivered at St. Roch in my
presence. Neither my grand vicar nor myself have been
able to discover in these extracts, which are said to have
-he.en. taken down in Anrt-liand,the.sermonAvllich wa
heard. During an hour; which the impro'isation of the
celebrated Dominican lasted, I only remarked, as I wrote
in my preceding letter, some inopportune quotations,
and some words which Father,Lacordairo pronounced"
quite simply, but which, I saw clearly, party spirit and
malignity could lay hold of, for the purpose of seeking
for allusions which were far,, I am convinced, from the'
mind of the speaker. So little is necessary to change
into epigrams inoffensive words ! That is what has been
done with the sermon of Father Lacordaire ; in which
phrases have bee* inserted in an inexact manner, either
by additions or by changes of words, as we have posi-
tively perceived in reading the extracts which you were
pleased to forward to me. I have nothing more to say,
Monsieur le Ministre, unless that I will never permit the
Christian pulpit to be made a political tribune, or the
liberty of the Holy Word to degenerate into licence.
That is my duty, and I shall take care to .perform it.
Your Excellency can make any use you please of this
letter. Accept the assurance of my high consideration.
" DENIS AUGUSTE, Archbishop of Paris."

The Echo of Valenciennes states that the deputa-
tion of the beet-root sugar manufacturers, who had
come to Paris to have an interview with the Minis-
ter of Finance, had returned with tli hope that
their claims on•the subject of the duties would meet
with just attention.
The Esperance du Peuple of Nantes has received
notice from the Procureur Imperial of that town,
that the Government had decided that no prosecu-
tion should be instituted against it, as was at first
intended for the erroneous intelligence which it had
published of a domiciliary visit having been made
by the police, in the hotel .of M. de Rothschild in
Paris.

The budget for 1854 was presented yesterday to
the Legislative Assembly ; the estimated expendi-
ture exceeds, the receipts by 1,388,630 f., notwith-
standing the long-desiderated equilibrium. The
receipts are estimated at 1,528 millions, and the
expo3es at 1,519. The details will not be known
till after the distribution of the budget next week.
To this cause, in some degree, as well as to the dis-
tracted state of Europe, especially in regard to the
affairs of Turkey, the heavy fall in the prices of
the public securities, which will be observed in the
report of the Bourse, must be ascribed.

The Assembly has adjourned till the Wednesday
after Easter.

The Russian Princess de Lieven, whose former
relations with Guizot are so well known, and who
holds a high rank in the upper circles of Paris, is
to be presented on Sunday next at the Court of
the Emperor—a fact of considerable political im-
portance, and in which may be seen the influence
of the Russian Ambassador:

General Cavaignac met M. Berger, Prefect of

the Seine, at the Horticultural Exhibition, when,
in reply to a remark of the Prefect, the General
said, We are not only not of the same opinion,
M. Berger, but we do not belong to the same
camp."
The requisite capital has been subscribed, chiefly
by English houses, for the construction of a rail-
way from Duren to Treves, in communication with
the French and Prussian lines.

The Bourse has been very dull, and prices of all
the securities have sustained a heavy decline. The
Three per Cents. closed at 80f. 20c. for the account,
being a decline of 80c., and at 79f. 35c. for cash,
being a fall of 65c. from the prices of Thursday.
The Four-and• a-Half per Cents, were last called
103 f. 40c., being 70c. lower, for the account, and
103 f. 50c. for cash—a decline of 50c. Bank Stock,
which has for some days been considerably depressed,
experienced yesterday a further fall of no less than
15 francs. Railway Shares, which for the past
week have been amending in quotations, partook
of the general downward tendency, and all the
stocks usually dealt in were called at the close
much lower than Thursday.
