at the present time, particularly
capital.
The present &many is formed for the purpose of purchasing and
acquiring land, and gold and other ores, in South Australia ; to be
worked, let on royalty, leased, or otherwise disposed of.
The promoters of the Company have made arrangements for the
purchase of some large and valuable tracts of mineral and other lands,
in some of which the existence of auriferous deposits has been satis-
factorily proved, while In others veins of copper and silver lead have
been found to exist.
Some specimens of the gold ores with which these lands abound,
and which were ent direct from the spot, will be remembered as
forming an attractive feature in the Great Exhibition last year.
It is important to remark, that, of the properties comprised in the
present arrangement. some are in the immediate vicinity, and all are
within a moderate distance of the city of Adelaide, the capital of
1850, an examination of
South Australia.
So far hack as the month of November,
the South Para and Onkaparinga properties was commenced under
the auspices of Capt. John Phillips, and the result of his observations
was so favourable as to induce the proprietors to proceed with the
investigation, which has been continued from time to time until the
present moment, and it now appears to he incontestably established
that there exists, at a moderate depth from the surface, a shelf or
basin, which is the true auriferous formation; and above this. seve-
ral deposits of detritus have accumulated, which abound in gold.
In the report which has been received it is estimated that these
deposits may be turned over at a moderate outlay, leaving a profit
of upwards of £50,000 on each of the sections of gold land. This re-
sult may be obtained as a preliminary to the ultimate object of the
Company—viz., the development of the true auriferous formation.
Every facility exists fir the transport and erection of machinery ;
the supply of water and fuel is abundant, and, above all, a ready
communication exists with the capital.
The contract made by the promoters of this Company with the
proprietors embraces a considerable extent of land in different dis-
tricts, a portion being situated on the South Para River, within 25
miles of Adelaide, and a further portion on the Onkaparinga, within
20 miles, and adjoining thenewly-discovered gold-fields at Echunga.
The auriferous qualities of the above have been proved.
On the Wiltshire Survey, 40 miles from Adelaide. there is a large
tract which is let to a Company of Get mans, the rig ht to
e the
mine-
rals being reserved, and there is nearly a similar extent iit
tthe
h
imme-
diate
vicinity of Adelaide, which is likewise let with same re.
serve. .

Power will be taken In the statutes to increase the capital, with
the consent of the Shareholders.
These various properties have been purchased for 17,001 Shares of
the present Company, and a royalty of one-tenth for gold, and one-
fifteenth for other minerals.
The capital of the present Comnany will be divided into 75,090
Shares of £2 each, a portion of which, not less than one-third, will
be reserved for allotment in England.
The management of the affairs of the Company will be confided
to the Gerant, acting under the immediate supervision of the Conseil
de Surveillance.

TWO EMPIRES OF TIME.
TITE PAST AND THE PRESENT, THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.

GLANCING back through the year 1852, E.
MOSES and SONS have a duty to discharge to them highly
gratifying ; they have to acknowledge an amount of patronage on
their Establishment and its bunches whip t exceeds the possibility
of enumeration, and fully demonstrates the established convic-
tion on the public mind, of the superiority of their system of
Business, and the general excellencies of their Goods. This In-
crease of pnblic favour will never be disregarded by E. MOSES
and SO N, but will form a stimulant to still greater efforts, where
possibility will permit, and to fresh enterprises where these can

procure the best, the most fashionable, and the most seasonable ma-
terials for every description of Dress, with which they always asso-
ciate the most artistic, the neatest, and soundest workmanship.
The appointment of a distinct class of Artists to each style of
attire, has produced a fit universally famed for correctness and com-
fort, and in the manufacture of Garments tier every station and pro-
fession in society ; for Sportsmen, Juveniles, and Mechanics ; the
most untlinchin,, regard will continue to be paid, the highest order of
materials and workmanship, and the lowest possible charges will
furnish additional attractions for thousands. A degree of patronage
unparalleled has been bestowed on the Ready-made Clothing Depart-
ment, which it has always been their ceaseless assiduity to render
superior to that of any Establishment in the Kingdom, that every
person may be supplied at any moment to them convenient, with a
Style of Attire agreeable to their wishes, displaying the first order of
Materials and Workmanship, accompanied by a Fit superior to the

Bespoke Goods which may be had elsewhere. The Hat and Cap
Branch has exhibited an impetus in the progress of Business, which
has rendered it the Crowning Emporium for all the subjects of our
Mighty Empire.
The Ladies' and Gentlemen's Hosiery Section, on which the great-
est care, industry, and experience has been employed, has been at-
tended with unprecedented encouragement; and the world-wide
connection of E. Moses and Son have rendered it the Depot for every
novelty through every season.
During the past year, a new field has been opened for enterprise
and industry ; a source of wealth has been discovered which has
superseded the calculations of the most sanguine, and has proved
the revelations of truth more astonishing than fiction ; though Gene-
ral Outfitting has always been an important branch of E. Moses and
Son's business, and has through a series of years been available for
Emigrants to all parts of the world, yet the new requirements of a
large port'on of the population have been met in the most compre
hensive manner by the Outfitting capabilities possessed at the Estab-
lishment of E. Moses and Son ; their Wholesale business affording
facilities of the most momentous order, and the unity of the largest
stock of Hosiery, Boots and Shoes, Br.c., &c., ever known, have proved
in the highest sense advantageous : their thorough and practical ac-
quaintance with the goods required for any voyage or climate, and by
every class of Emigrants, Ladies or Gentlemen; their readiness to
afford assistance, and gratuitously to give all necessary information
to all intending Emigrants, has given a popularity to them as Out-
fitters, which has eclipsed all others; and that every convenienee
might be possessed by Emigrants, they havo kept a separate Depart-
ment for Outfitting, conveniently communicating with the other sec-
tions of their great commercial Emporium.
Now entering upon the Empire of the year 1853, it is the intention
of E. Moses and Son to give each branch of their daily increasing
trade their minute, practical, and undeviating attention that :their
Establishment and its branches may continue the national deposi-
tories of novelty and fashion, the recherché of taste and skill ; the
magazine of articles o utility and comfort ; the assemblage of every
order of Goods required at home or abroad ; that punctuality and
attention to all commands and that quality and economy in every
class of artieles may give them the opportunity, and the pleasure of
extending the benefits of their great commercial facilities to all
classes throughout the kingdoms of the world.
Indulging the warmest hopes of being able, as the year progresses,
far to exceed their professions, and to help on the comfort of all who
remain at Home, and all who Emigrate, E. MOSES and Sox earnestly
and cordially wish all their Friends and Patrons A. HAPPY NEW
YEAR.

CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman•like
falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have.

The essential object of this treatise is to ' pointze•o
consequences resulting from irregularities and exnnetsthe fearful
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation ses, which
in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps,
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatmentany
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.rad
The results of the knowledge thus act:mired are here condensed
tha personal supervision of Dr. LteMert, himself one of the feewr
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and sin.
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidenfal
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Afert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these
cases.

A FAIR SWINDLER.—The police, says Ga,lignani, have
just arrested a young and rather pretty woman, who
for some time past has been swindling on a rather grand
scale. Her custom was to pass herself off as the wife of
an officer of high rank in the army, and by stating that
her ,husband was about to arrive in Paris, obtain on
credit splendid furniture for an apartment she was fur-
nishing ; then, at the end of the quarter, pretending
that ,her husband had been appointed to a place in
Algeria, she paid the rent and sold off the furniture.
She afterwards proceeded to another quarter of the
town, and repeated the same operation. She was also
accustomed to borrow costly lace and diamonds from
ladies, on pretext that she was going to visit the Em-
peror, and she never returned them. From a notary,
near Melun, she obtained a large sum of money to, as
she said, prevent an estate belonging to her from being
sold, but the estate did not exist, and she embezzled the
money. A young man of good family fell in love with
her, and spent a good deal of money over her. He even
proposed to marry her, but she did not think him rich
enough. Before, however, breaking off with him, she
had the art to make him give her a large sum. Three
days ago one of her dupes met her on the Boulevards des
Italiens, and wished to arrest her ; but she escaped.
The police, however, being set in motion, soon discovered
her. On being interrogated, she gave herself several
names, not one of which is believed to be her right one.
HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.—A return has just been
printed of the operations of the Hudson's Bay Company
in connexion with the colonisation of Vancouver's Island.
From this it appears that the quantity of land sold has
been 1,478 acres to 11 persons, at 20s. per acre, and that
applications 'have been made by 19 persons for 2,355
acres, whit% are being surveyed. In addition, the Hud-
son's Bay 'Company's station consists of 3,084 acres.
portions of which have been sold to some of their retired
servants. The number of people sent out since the be-
ginning of 1848 has been 435—namely, 271 males, 80
females, and 84 children, of whom 150 sailed during the
past year. These were chiefly agricultural labourers,
together with some farm bailiffs, miners, and mechanics.
As regards the coal mines, it is stated that the company
have incurred considerable expense in searching, boring,
&c., but without sticcess until lately, when promising
appearances have been discovered about 80 miles north
of Fort Victoria, on the east coast of the island, nearly
opposite the mouth of Fraser's River. The outlay thus
far for colonisation and improvement has been 1,9861.,
while the receipts have been 1,4781. for land and 1641.
for royalty, at 2s. 6d. per ton on 1,315 tons of coals col-
lected from surface seams by the Indians, and exported.
Of these receipts the company under their grant are en-
titled to appropriate one-tenth, the remainder being ap-
plicable to the promotion of colonisation. The company
attribute the slow progress of the settlement of the island
to the high rate of wages in Oregon and California.
This, however, is only the superficial reason. The ques-
tion arises, why are wages higher in Oregon than in
Vancouver's Island ? In one place the price of land is
fixed at the unattainable rate of 20s. per acre, in the
other it is sold for its fair value—namely, what it will
fetch. The result is, that, all other things being equal,
the man who buys his farm in Oregon for ss. an acre can
afford to outbid for labour the settler in Vancouver's
Island who has paid 20s. _

RIOT IN A FRENCH CIIIIRCH.—Some dispute having
arisen at the midnight mass, which took place the night
before Chrismas-day, at Bromont (Puy-de-Dome), the
curd ordered the offending parties to leave the church.
Not one having stirred, he asked for the names of the
rioters, and then insisted that the persons named should
leave the congregation. After the service, the persons
so expelled, waited outside the church to take revenge
on the young man who had mentioned their names to
the curd, but he, being aided by his brother, contrived
to get off. These two men were hurrying off, when, in
turning a street, they met a man named Bournichon,
who was coming hastily in the opposite direction, with
a knife in his hand, to the succour of his servant, whom
some one had represented to him to have been attacked.
The two young men supposing that Bournichon was
coming to attack them, took up a heavy stone, and
struck him with it right in the centre of the stomach,
and killed him instantaneously. The two brothers were
taken into custody in the course of the day, and six other
persons were afterwards arrested for having been con-
cerned in the riot.
