AUTUMN AND WINTER NOVELTIES in
ESS.—It affords E. MOSES and SON the greatest plea-
sure to state that all the Novelties for the season in Attire, Hats,
Caps. Hosiery, Ladies and children's Clothing, ',loots, and Shoes,
Sze , are now ready for inspection at their Establishment and
its West-end 'Branch.
There is not an article of Attire for Autumn CO- elegant, gentle-
r/11111v, and comfortable as the new l'aletot, which has been designed
solely by E. Moses and SON ; it supersedes any previous invention,
and, for Autumn and Winter, is a leading article of dress for all
class s. its price lei g only 25e. renders it a convincing proof cf the
advantages afforded by the economical prices charged by E. MOSES
and SON.
The Autumn and Winter Novelties in the magnificent stock of
Hats and Cars. now presented by E. Moses and SON, comprise every
new, elegant, and fa.hionable style, which has been invented in
Loudon and l'aris ; they are the most seasonable fashions, the most
durable articles, and are charged the most economical prices.
The Autumn and Winter Novelties in the Hosiery Department at
E. NosEs and SON'S associate the richest, most fashionable, and
most useful goods, and the section exclusively appropriated to Ladies
and Children's Dress and Underclothing displays the most elegant
and serviceable articles for the season in unparalleled magnitude of
Stock, and at the most economical prices.
The Wholesale Clothing. Shirt, and Boot and Shoe Department
offers advantages to Captains, Merchants, Emigrants, and others, in
the magnitude, superiority, and suitability of the stock and economy
in price, which will render the goods offered by E. Moses and Sox
the nest an most profitable investments which can be made.

We must again remark, with astonishment and regret,
that the Government and the public of this country, at
a moment when every thought and feeling of
are no less
the nation
are concentrated on the events of the war,
than 15 or 16 days in arrear of the course of events,
although ten days at the outside ought to
mails o
ters from the Crimea. It is needless for us to enlarge
on the inconvenience of this incredible want of Post-
offie.a arrangements, for the Ministers of the Crown,
whose responsibility is more deeply engaged in these
operations than that of any other person, are the first
to suffer from the want of a frequent and regular mode
of transmitting to this country the official correspon-
dence of the army.
Here, again, we have a striking illustration of the dif-
ference between the intentions of the Government and
the fact. It was intended, we know, as we are informed
by the Post-office circular, that there should be a regu-
lar and prompt communication between England
and the head-quarters of the army every five days.
But by some means or other, three times five days have
now elapsed since the dates of the last mails which have
reached England. Some of the French and Austrian
boats by which mails are forwarded to Marseilles or
Trieste go the round of half-a-dozen ports in the Levant,
stopping a day at each ; and it is but seldom that the
bags are transmitted direct and at full speed. Even
when Lord Burghersh was sent with the despatches re-
lating to the battle of the Alma, which were expected
with such feverish impatience by the whole country, he
started in the Fury, a vessel which could never perform
more than eight knots an hour, and was beaten by
twelve hours between Malta and Marseilles by the ordi-
nary French packet. At the present time intelligence
has frequently arrived by way of St. Petersburg more
rapidly than by the Danube or Marseilles, so that the
Emperor of Russia has acquired, by means of the tele-
graphs now established between his capital and the
southern provinces of his empire, an advantage of five
or six days in the transmission of information over the
Western Powera, Circumstances might occur under
whi.zh that difference of time would be of the utmost
consequence, and every means ought to be taken to
accelerate to the utmost our correspondence with the
seat of war,—Times.

NURSES FOR
T THE WOUNDED IN
URKEY.

We are authorised to state that Mrs. Nightingale, who
has been for some time acting as superintendent of the
Ladies' Hospital, at No. 1, Upper Harley-street, has
undertaken to organise a staff of female nurses, who will
at once proceed with her to Scutari, at the cost of the
Government, there to act under her directions in the
English Military Hospital, subject, ofcourse, to the autho-
rity of the chief medical officer of the establishment. Mrs.
Nightingale will, herself, select the persons who will ac-
company her, and will recommend them to the War-
office for certificates, without which certificates of
course no one will be admitted to the hospitals. After
her departure arrangements will be made for granting
certificates on the recommendation of persons to whom
Mrs. Nightingale will have delegated the duty, to such
number as may, from time to time, be forwarded to
Scutari upon her requisition. By this arrangement it is
hoped that much confusion and disappointment may be
prevented, it being obviously impossible in any hospital,
but especially in a military hospital, to admit as nurses
any persons offering themselves, without any proof or
evidence of their possessing the knowledge, experience,
and ;_,-emeral capacity requisite for duties so difficult and
so ee,-pseisibl.:', 0... d the willingness to submit implicitly
to the regulatlOns of one central authority.
