OLIDAY for PARLIAMENT.—Then Par-
-1 ament is prorogued—the holiday is to Ise a long one. We
are informed that E. MO-ES and SO Ni don't pretend to take the
measure of Parliamentary duti,s, but are most hanpy to measure the
members and their dependents for the Dress which is admired in
every station for ifs excellence, fashion, stud cheapness. They don't
wish to make 1 twa, it being their busine. s to make cloth's for every
person in the world, and we are assured on every hand that their
efforts have met with the most astonishing success in all parts of the
empire.
The C nstltue is which have pushed them forward to the repre-
sentation of everybody 1.1 the best and most fashionable Dress are
novel and unparalleled m-terials, first-rate talent, and unequalled
workmanship applied to all Articles of Attire. Having worked hard
through a very long ses-ion on every kind of good and correct
measures, it would be reasonable enough for them to claim a holiday.
Thus, however, they could not do wt hout inflcting an inconvenience
on the public and neglecting their professions, which are to supply
at any moment Dress, Hats, Caps, Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, &c.,
&c., to order or ready-made, celebrated for superiority, elegance,
neatness, novelty, and cheapness.
As commercial transactions and shipping business admits of no
sus;,ension, E. MOSES and :_zON'S Wholesale Clothing, Shirts, Hosiery,
and Boot and Shoe trade is thoroughly efficient, captains, Mer-
chants, Shippers, and Emigrants finding, the greatest advantages are
derived from outlays, to large or small amounts, in the wholesale
department of E. Moats and SON'S Establishment.
Full LISTS of OUTFITS for Ladies and Gentlemen, with Ship.
Sailing information, may be had on application, or post free.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
falseh od of " Being connected with their Establishment," or It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, ant; for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTUEZ HOME IN OE OUT OP LONDON,
except their own Establishments, as follows :

ELECTRICITY V. CIiOLERA.-Mr. Meinig, of Leaden-
hall•street and 213 A, Piccadilly, who some time ago in-
troduced a very ingenious small apparatus called the
" Electro Generator," by which, when worn on the body,
mild currents of electricity are communicated to the
system, has found that this simple means constitutes a
very effectual preventative and check to the premonitory
symptoms of cholera. Mr. Meinig asserts that, during
the last visitation in the north not one single person
who wore an " Electro Generator" was attacked by
cholera ; and that within the last few days he has him-
self witnessed the greatest possible benefit derived from
its application in cases of diarrhoea, S:c. As there
is no inconvenience whatever attendant upon the wearing
of this small, portable apparatus, and the little known
of the nature of cholera points distinctly to a certain con-
nection between it and the electric state of the body and
atmosphere, it is not improbable that in electricity may
be found the means of counteracting this dreadful
scourge, and the observations of Mr. Meinig are well
worthy of the attention of the profession and of the
Public at large.
