of the season. The materials, workmanship, and finish at once show
it,w entirely impossible it is for any Establishment to imitate it at the
price for which it is offered by E. .Moses and Son—viz., twenty-five
shillings.
For September and following months sportsmen require necessary
equipment for the shooting seapon. The iuitability of the Sporting
Attire manufactured by E. Moses and Son has gained it universal
celebrity with all classes ; their long experience, vast transact ons,
and the unrivalled talent they employ in designing and making up
every fashionable and useful article of Dress, and the very economi-
cal prices they charge, insure it such patronage that the stock though
immense is always new.
For September the Hosiery and Ladles' and Children's Dress De-
partments are retlenished with the most elegant articles of the
first order of fashion, and at the most economical prices. .

sian prisoners.
The Algiers, 91, screw, Captain Charles Talbot, ran into
Sheerness Harbour yesterday at three p.m., and dis-
ehasged the 450 prisoners, together with seven women
and five children, on board the Benbow, her Majesty's
prison-ship. Only one prisoner died on the passage.
The Sphinx, steam-sloop, at Sheerness, Captain Wm.
J. C. Clifford, arrived at 8 p.m. yesterday, from the
Downs, with Russian prisoners brought home in the St.
Vincent. The following Russian officers arrived by the
Sphinx :—Lieut. Niketin, Commissaries Tverskoj and
.Perhinsky ; Ensigns Dalin, Groteufelt, Backman, and
Leistedt ; with 251 soldiers, all Russians : also the under
mentioned Finnish officers :—Major Grahn, Captain von
Essen, Captain Spellman, Lieutenants Hook, Dalin,
Grotanfelt, and Bollfras ; also 122 Finnish soldiers,
10 wives of soldiers and three children, making a total of
345. The Sphinx left Ledsund on the 20th ult. in com-
•th Commodore Grey's squadron ; on the same day
pany
tonic the Royal William in tow, and towed her into a
fair wind off tho island of Gothland, then proceeded to
Elsinore to coal ; left Elsinore on the 23th ult., and took
the St. Vincent iu tow the same evening. She anchored
off Foreness on the 31st. On the Ist inst. received the in-
telligence of the death of Captain Mansell, caused by a
diseased heart, after eight days' illness; same day took
the St. Vincent in tow, kept her in tow until the 4th,
towing her through the Great Belt. On casting off, the
following melancholy accident occurred :—At about ten
p.m. Captain Clifford was standing on the starboard side
of the upper deck between the after sponson bollard
timber and the mainmast, the 14-inch towing hawser
being passed round the mainmast from the turns on the
alter bollard, in consequence of the foremast bollard in
the after sponson having been carried away on towing the
St. Vincent on her outward passage to the Baltic, which
prevented them getting proper turns over the two bol-
lards for security. On Captain Clifford giving the order
to veer away the hawser from off the mast, the end with
a sudden jerk ran round the mast and struck him across
both his legs just below his knees; he fell to the deck,
and upon the surgeon examining him after he was
placed in his cabin, it was found that both legs bad
received simple fractures. A seaman, named James
Brooks, who was standing near the captain, received a
slight contusion on his left foot. We are happy to say
ho is going on very favourably under the medical care
of the surgeon, Mr. John C. Sabben. On the day after the
accident she took the St. Vincent in tow, and anchored in
the Downs on the 6th inst. On the 7th the St. Vincent
tranfcrred her prisoners into the Sphinx and Janus, and
they arrived at Sheerness on the Bth at 8 p.m. with the
Janus—the Janus having the following officers and men
prisoners on board, all of whom have been put on board
the Benbow prison ship (under charge of the Commander
and officers of the Devonshire, assisted by Lieutenant
Everest) :—C. Kerman, surgeon of the Artillery Company
in the forts at Bomarsund ; 132 Russian soldiers, 9 women,
and 13 children ; 20 of these prisoners were convicts des-
tined for Siberia, but sent to Bomarsund to assist in work-
ing the guns in the principal fort. They are reported to be
most depraved characters, and have been condemned to
Siberia, many of them for murders, and others for detest-
able crimes, and many of the latter have undergone the
first part of their sentences by being unconditioned as men
for their future lifetime by the Emperor's order. The
Sphinx was commissioned on the 24th of May. She con-
veyed and landed French troops at Bomarsund, and took
a very prominent part in the bombardment of the forts at
that place. Generally speaking the crew have been very
healthy, thanks to the continued and prompt attention of
Dr. Sabben, who has been indefatigable in his watchful-
ness over every officer
toms, and man, as need required, in check-
ing the premonitory symp by which actual cholera
has been kept in check throughout the ship. Strange to
say, three fresh cases, of a very virulent nature, broke out
among the prisoners just as they were being put on board
the Devonshire yesterday.
Yesterday, at 2 p.m., Captain Lord Frederick Kerr,
Flag-Captain to the Commander-in-Chief, came on board
the Devonshire, and informed them that their application
for subsistence-money had been granted, and that the
Admiralty had oat an order down to the Conunander-in-

The men of the Royal Artillery returned unfit for ser-
vice assembled at the Ordnance Hospital, Woolwich, yes-
terday, at 9 a.m., and were medically inspected by the
surgeons of the division to which they are attached.
Sixty fine horses for the field batteries arrived in Wool-
wich garrison on Thursday, having been purchased by
Lieutenant• Colonel Wingfield in Yorkshire, and sent up
to head-quarters for exercise in their new employment.

THE DISEASE ON BOARD THE HANNIBAL.
SHEERNESS, Sept. B.—By a letter from the Hannibal,
whilst in the Downs, we have a melancholy account of the
continued disease and deaths in her up to the time of the
letter being written. The writer says :
" We do not know on board how long we shall remain
here, as it is repolted we are to perform quarantine ; even
if it is so, it will most likely be for a few days. God
knows we have had sickness enough on board the Hanni-
bal to deserve quarantine. I would not in my other letters
sent you, my dear wife, alarm you and the children with
the truth, but now that we are comparatively speaking
free from sickness, I can tell you some of our misfortunes.
The day after we left Calais the small-pox broke out
amongst the troops on board; a few days after, typhus
fever appeared amongst all hands ; then cholera came on
top of all, so that we had three horrible and contagious
diseases at one and the same time. Well, after the French
troops were landed, the remains of disease left on board
were partly blown away by our leaving the anchorage
where our division of the fleet was laying, and cruising
about outside the Sound; then, when the forts of Aland 1
were stormed and taken, the Russian prisoners refused to
deliver themselves up to the French, and so we had to take
them aboard of us. They had not been on board an hour
when two of them died from malignant cholera, so there
we were again. We have been cruising about for the last
eighteen days, and I think if the deaths had not at last
diminished, the commodore would not have got home yet,
as we all believe he was anxious that no deaths should oc-
cur for a few days before arriving. However, I believe
he will be out in his calculations, for there is one of the
prisoners who is now nearly at his last gasp. Poor
fellows, they suffer dreadful. We have indeed had death
stalking through our ship, and no mistake. We have
buried seven of a day, and have had from 180 to
200 on the sick list, all slung in hammocks on the lower
deck. From the gun-room door to the foremast bitts the
hammocks and cots were slung, some four and some six
deep. lam thus particular, as I have no doubt some me_
counts of our goings on have appeared in the newspapers.
We hear on board that the fleet in the Black Sea have also
suffered severely, and also that cholera is prevalent at
home ; but you can have no idea of the little we know of
what is authentic. Some say we go to Sheerness, some to
the Motherbank. Wo are all for the first ; the other is a
yellow flag station ; but I shall not close this until I know
that something decisive is to take place. All I know is,
that we are now riding here with forty-five fathoms of
chain out. We have only a few tons of coals on board,
and only a fow days' supply of other necessaries. How-
ever, anything can be got here on the shortest notice.
There is a steam-boat alongside waiting orders, and if we
go to the westward she will take invalids to Chatham
Melville Hospital.
"We are off to the westward. Orders have just been
given to the purser, we find, to supply slops for Ote sick
going to hospital. The anchor is now being hove up; we
are off—we do not know where—steering rest, with a fino
E.S.E. wind for us. I must tell you our third lieutenant,
the Hon. O.W. M. Lambert, is sent to Deal Hospital
amongst the invalids. From the time the ship left Calais
to her return to the Downs he has been an invalid, and
the greater part of the time confined to his cot. There is
no doubt he will be invalided. He has been, and is still,
suffering from internal abscess."

ARRIVALS' AT MALTA.
A letter from Malta, dated Sept. 2, says :
" The only arrival of troops since my last was by the
Golden Fleece on the 27th ult., on which day she came
into port, having on board Lieutenant-Colonel Ainslie ;
Majors Stuart and Lord West (Likut.-Colonel); Captains
Haines (Lieut.-Colonel), Hon. Ji L. Browne, Kirkland,
ar
Dalyell, Boldero, Legh, and Finley:? Lieutenants Steward,
Aldridge, Templeman, Sheffield, leton, Clarke, King,
Dunne, Hurt, Killeen, and Ima ; Second Lieutenants
Clarke, Stephens, Beaumont, an Lee; Ensigns St. Clair
and Fowler (Adjutant); Paymaster Hawker, Quarter-
master Cassidy, Surgeon M`Kinnon, M.D. ; Assistant-
__ _ . . — .

Surgeons Greer, West, M.D. ; and Patrickson; Commis-
sariat officers Goold, Brinden, Foslung, and Watkins. 974
rank and file of the 21st Fusiliers, and 14 horses.
" All the men landed ex Medway are now fully recovered
from the cholera, and have beet released from the quaran-
tine
to which they were subjected.
" The portion of the outward India mail, via Marseilles,
reached Malta on the 30th, and the bulk by the Tagus on
tho day following.
" Mr. Wotton, a gentleman from the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's-office in London, reached this island
per Tagus, to assume the duties of the company's superin-
tendent here vice Captain Lindquist, superseded.
" The Tagus proceeded to Alexandria yesterday.
" Our news from the East that reached by the French
mail is very meagre. It may be summed up in the one pas-
sage, that the army, well provisioned and supplied with
all necessaries for the expedition, has embarked in high
spirits for the Crimea, and was to leave on the Ist (yester-
day) for its destination.
" Lord John Hay goes from the Wasp to the Fury, and
Commander Chambers to the Wasp." _

The Malta Mail, under date of Constantinople, Aug.2s,
says :
" By the French mail-boat, which arrived here on 31st
ult., news has reached from Varna to the 25th.
" Three steam-ships were lying off Sebastopol to watch
proceedings, and it seems tolerably certain that not more
than 41,000 Russians are in the Crimea. .

------
"The cholera, after committing -fearful ravagos both in
the army and navy of the allies, is abating rapidly. The
French have suffered more severely than the English,
although our loss has been far from trifling. Among the
names of the staff officers that have been reported as vic-
tims, in addition to those already made public, are Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Ainslie, 93d, and Lieutenant-Colonel Treve-
lyan, Coldstream Guards ; and Lieutenant-Colonel Doyle,
Assistant-Adjutant-General on the stuff of Sir R. England,
is so unwell as to have resi,med his appointment, and is on
his way to England by the Palmyra transport.
" In the ships thecholera was hot enough. The Britannia
had had 132 men sick at ono time, of whom, in 48 hours,
110 had died, while the Queen had not had a single ease.,,
