THE SHIP HERCULES

Mr. MAHONY said, on the 20th of January the
emigrant ship Hercules, with a large number of emi-
grants on board, put into the port of Queenstown. It
was then found that the small-pox and typhus fever were
raging to a fearful extent among the passengers, and he
wanted to know what the Government intended to do in
the matter.

Sir J. YOUNG said it was perfectly true as stated
by the hon. member, that the Hercules had put
into Queenstown. She was an old man-of-war and
had been sent to the Isle of Skye to lake in a
large number of emigrants. A few days after she went
to sea the small pox and typhus fever broke out, and
she was forced to put into Queenitown, where all the

London, to sail with the (nearly one hundred) vessels bound for the
" Land of Gold" during the present month. For every Emigrant of
these vast numbers a first•rate Outfit is proNided by E. MOSES and
SON. The quality, su'tab"ity, and very low mice of all article, re-
quired by Emigrants insures to E. MosEs and Sox the first position
as Outfitters for Ladles end Gentlemea, Merchants, Tradesmen,
Mechanics, Farmers, or Gild-diggings. A. separate department is
kept for Outfitting ; and full lists of Outfits for ladies and gentlemen,
with Ship sailing information, may be had on application, or post'

public against imposition, havin learned that the untradesman-like
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has haen resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have

EL A.CKEIJ RN ELECTION.

Mr. W. PATTEN gave notice that on Tuesday next
he should move for a new writ for the borough of Black-
burn, in the room of the unseated member.
METROPOLITAN DRAINAGE.

Lord SEYMOUR apprehended that the bill, which
stood for second reading to-morrow, under the title of
the Great London Drainage Bill, was the same as that
referred to the other night by the noble lord at the head
of the Home Department, and he wished, therefore, to
ask the noble lord whether the Government were inclined
to support the second reading of that bill.
Lord PALMERSTON said he should certainly be
disposed to support the second reading of the bill, as it
was intended to carry out a great public work of vast
importance to the metropolis, but of course in supporting
the second reading of the bill, it would only be with the
view of having it referred to a committee, where its
details might be examined. The principle of the bill
was one which he thought the house ought in fact to
encourage, but the details of course must be left for a
committee to decide.

ELECTION COMMITTEES-(THIS DAY.)

SOUTHAMPTON.

The committee assembled again this morning at 11
o'clock—Mr. H. Herbert in the chair.

William 1114 Adam was re-called, and deposed that
when he was applied to by the petitioner, to allow copies
to be taken of the letters which he had received from the
Liberals, offering to pay all his expenses, he refused
to produce them.

Cross-examined by Mr. Pigot—This was after Mr.
Mackey had promised to make my wife a present of a
piece of gold. Admitted having told Mr. Lankester
that the 1/. witness received for his exPenses° did not
cover them. He had come all the way from Reading,
and was absent two days from his work. He voted for
Sir Alexander Cockburn and Mr. Wilcox, without refer-
ence to the money he received for his expenses. He
had always been a Liberal, though he had no vote until
the election in 1852.

Re-examined by •Mr. Alexander—Received the 11.
front Mr. Tucker, at one of the committee-rooms—there
were a great many other persons in another room, but
did not see any of them receive money. When I was
paid, Mr. Tucker referred to a small pocket-book. His
expenses to and from Reading were 14s. 4d. His wages
averaged from V. to 2/. a week.
Henry Warren, a sawyer at the Isle of Wight, (de-
posed to coming over to Southampton to vote for Sir
Alexander Cockburn and Mr. Wilcox. He was !can-
vassed in the Isle of Wight, and was told that his ex-
penses would be paid. His fare by the boat each way
was ls. 6d. After voting, he went to the Liberal com-
mittee above bar, and received 1/. for his expenses. Mr.
Tucker was present 'at the time.
In cross-examination, said he was in the habit of earn-
ing from 4s. to 7s. a day, and he not only lost a whole
day's work, but had to give 4s. 6d. to his partner, who
was obliged to remain idle while he was away.

ITALY.
The Opinions of Turin states that Marshal
Radetzky has ordered the Lieutenancy of Lom-
bardy to report to him on the property of the 200
principal inhabitants in each of the provinces under
his jurisdiction. Emigrants, persons excluded from
the amnesty, and those who have been allowed to
divest themselves of the quality of Austrian citizens,
are to be comprised in the list.
A letter found on an individual who has been
arrested proves that Mazzini was not in Tessino at
the time of the insurrection at Milan. The letter
is dated from Turin.

GERMANY.
The Post- Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date
of Pesth, 28th ult., says :—" It is stated, not as a
rumour but as a positive fact, that the day before
yesterday the Provost of the fortress of Comorn
was brought here heavily ironed, and lodged in the
new prison. He allowed himself to be drawn into
a conspiraCY with the state prisoners in that fortress,
the object of which was to deliver up the place to
the Magyars. The Commandant Field Marshal
Simunich was to have been assassinated, and the
small arsenal pillaged, in order to furnish arms to
the liberated prisoners. One of the latter, being
troubled in his conscience, discovered the plot by a
letter which he addressed to a person high in office,
and thus prevented the calamity."
Great military precautions are taken at Nurem-
berg, and several arrests have been made at Mirth.
The advantages which Austrian commerce will
derive from the concessions made by Turkey are of
great importance. Duties on imports and exports
are fixed at 3 per cent., and the monopoly is only
maintained on certain articles arriving by sea.

DENMARK.
Count de Reventlow-Criminil, Minister in the
Danish Cabinet for Hobitein, has resigned, in con-
sequence of the determination of the Danish Go-
vernment to remove the line of customs from the
Eider to the Elbe. General Hansen, Minister of

TEETH.—By her Majesty's Royal Letters
Patent.—Newly-invented and Patented Application cf Che-
mically-prepared White India-rubber in the construction of Artificial
Teeth, Gams, and Palates.—Mr. EPHRAIM MOSELY, Surgeon-
Dentist, 61, Grosvenor-street, Grosvenor-square, Sole Inventor and
Patentee.—A new, original, and invaluable invention, consisting in
the adaptation, with the most absolute perfection and success, of
CHEMICALLY-PREPARED WHITE INDIA-RUBBER as a lining
to the ordinary gold or bone frame. The extraordinary results of
this application may be briefly noted in a few of their most promi-
nent features, as the following :—All sharp edges are avoided ; no
springs, wires, or fastenings are required ; a greater increased free-
dom of suction is supplied ; a natural elasticity hitherto wholly un-
attainable: and a fit, perfected with the most unerring accuracy, are
secured, while from the softness and flexibility of the agent em-
ployed, the greatest support is given to the adjoining teeth when
loose, or rendered tender by the absorption of the gums. The acids
of the mouth exert no agency on the chemically-prepared White
India-rubber, and as it is a non-conductor, fluids of any temperature
may with thorough comfort be imbibed and retained in the mouth,
all unpleasantness of smell or taste being at the same time wholly
provided against by the peculiar nature of its preparation.
To be obtained only at 61, Grosvenor-street, London ;

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.—What a change !
since the days of Chaucer and the Canterbury pilgrims ; then

the trading metropolis of the universe had but few business Houses,
and a small amount of trade. Look now at the increased popula-
tion, the intelligence and importance of all classes, which have
claims in business befOre unknown. The purposes for which the
gigantic Establishments of E. MOSES and SON were built have beep
fully explained, and the manner in which business is there trans-
acted has proved " City improvements" highly satisfactory. These
improvements E. Moms and Sox have carried beyond the boundaries
of the City, the same priociples of business being pursued at their
Branch, NEW OXFORD-STREET, corner of HART-STREBT. The money
saved by individuals and families by patronising each Branch of
E. Moms and Sox's business has been regarded as the greatest im-
provement of all. The telegraphic wires, which will soon connect
each part of the City, is an improvement in the way of dispatch, and
is illustrative of the speed and correctness manifested in all com-
mands given ;to E. MOSES and SON—whether these are for Attire,
to measure or ready made—for Waterproof Clothing or the easiest
and most fashionable Sporting Dress—for Overcoats, Wrappers, or
Paletots—for Juvenile Clothing, in the newest styles—for Hosiery,
Hats and Caps, or Boots and Shoes—the superior quality and econo-
mical charges at E. MOSES and Sox's is the greatest " City improve-
ment;" for Ladies, Gentlemen, and Families.

HARRY Mum : a Story of Scottish Life. 13y
Author of " Margaret Maitland," &c. 3 vols.—" the
A
story by this author is ever welcome to the literary
world. The truthfulness with which the every-day sub-
jects of human life are detailed, the high tone of morality
with which defects of character and right-minded opi-
nions are set ont, and the quaint, accurate, and amusing
style ender which incidents and scenery are depicted,
are features in each of her writings, which pronounce
them to be of the very highest order of fiction. 'Harry
Muir' is one of the best specimens in which the delight-
fult peculiarities we have enumerated are
met with.
Every succeeding novel from this author's IT .7 could

quired by Emigrants insures to E. MOSES and Sex the first po4tion

Mechanics, Farmers. or Gold-diggings. A separate department is
kept for Outfitting ; and full lists of Outfits for ladies and gentlemen,
with Ship sailing information, may be had on application, or post
