Their seasonable fruits ;
And hence 'tis not too soon to say
A word on, Christmas suEs.

Moses and Son have got a stock
From which you 411 should buy;
And nono can justly make a mock
Of such a prime supply.
You'd find these Christmas suits to be
The best you ever saw;
Though not obtained expensively,
Like costly suits of law.

The suits on which I weave this rhyme,
Will suit you to a T;
Then purchase one for Christmas time,
As hinted at by me.

For Christ Mas parties you'll require
Superior kind of dress—
Dress nothing short of that attire.
Which comes from M. and S.
May the brief hints which Thus I drop
Bring Moses fresh recruits;
Since Moses' Warehouse ranks the top
In soiling Christmas suite.

GRIMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGENE-
RATOR.

you aro in want 6f that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist cr druggist, or perfumer, an Ils.
bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Ifteneratar. This is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Iler-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is lfghly appreciated for its manifsld virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in.his
pamphlet, in which the bottles are e-closed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant,
Herb:wy, Highgate, and wi'l be found at page 11, un'ter the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to ihe Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1R46.

Thfa pamphlet fs forwarded through the post, on receiving two
postage stamps. _

The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving-a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. ed., or he., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The lis..size contains four of the 4s.

A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prose, are published
in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect far a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age,
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moval those sightless penult, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye snuff 1 and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar...et, Nervous Hea.lach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of
oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, ant sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Esq., to
Mr. William Gemstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of
Government it is obliged to b 3 stamped.

" Ma. W. GRIKSTONS.-Sir-I must in jastice to you send the fol-
lowing Testimonial with regard to the extraordinary efficacy of your
Eye Snuff in cases of Gutta Serena. I have used it in five cases with

The following letter, in testimony of its delightful qualities, is from
the author of the " Pleasures of Home :" _ _

" Sir,—l cannot deny myself the pleasure of stating how highly I
esteem your Herb Tobacco. I have now found in it a substitute for

gratefully acknowledging the distinguished patronage which for
many years has been conferred upon their establishment in Grace-
church •street, would at the same time tender their b^st thanks tor
the immense and unprecedented success consequent upon the open-
ing of their newly-erected and magnificent premises, situate No. 86,
Oxford-street, nearly opposite the Pantheon.
The proud position in which L. HYAM and COMPANY stand as
the largest Tailors and Clothiers in the world, is a sufficient guaran-
free of their capab lities for offering extraordinary advantages in
DRESS, and they venture to hope that their numerous friends will
find that each succeeding season will bring with it the most striking
proofs that every exertion will be used still further to develop these
advantages, and to produce an assortment of clothing of the highest
and most perfect character.
The whole of the Winter Stock being now on view, the favour of
an early call will be duly appreciated, whilst the proprietors will
spare no exertion or expense in producing for the inhabitants of
London and its vicinities costumes unequalled in the fashionable
world. Convinced both by numerous flattering testimonials and by
yet more numerous and more tangible proofs of public approbation
of the superiority of their business system, and of the important
economical advantages, L. HYAM and COMPANY respectfully
submit to tbeinspection of their patrons the following brief o aline if

suppoeing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
alter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and wor:dly prudence, and the indizsoluble, regret un-
eomprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
dement. Honour and justicedenaand that health should form au item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or naisfbrtunt. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVRRWELL'S little

each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
sy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for the Closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, whieh alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
ittie publications claim yoar attention (same price Is. eace,
by Test Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
iveid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
parnp'Jets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
'ifs who owes hie present existence, health, and position to this ob.

woesd be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

A Court was held yesterday at the Guildhall, which
was very numerously attended, the principal business
brought before it being the vote of thanks to Sir
James Duke, the late Lord Mayor.
The LORD MAYOR presided, and in opening the
proeee dings said that as it was the first time that le
had had the honour of meeting the Court in ti -e
high position which he then held, he hoped that
during his year of office he would conduct himself in
such a !reamer that at the end of it he shoed not
only receive the commendations of the Court, but of
his fellow ci,iz.ms at large.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Deputy BEDFORD then rose and said that he
had a very pleasing duty to perform in proposing a
vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor, Sir James
Duke; and he thought that it would be unanimously
carried by the Curt, as no man had ever served the
office of Lord Mayor in a better way, or in a manner,
as he believed, to give greater satisfaction to the
citizens of London.—(Hear, hear.) In the first
place, he had to notice the way in which Sir James
Duke had presided over the meetings of the Court.--
(Hear, hear.) They never had had a Lord Mayor
who had outdone him in the dignity of man-
ner with which he bad conducted their pro-
ceedings. The president of an assembly like theirs
had a great deal to do, and there were questions of
Wrest importance arising, which made it necessary
tor him to consider maturely and decide how they
could best be disposed of. 'They had always been
satisfied with the manner in which Sir James Duke
had overcome any difficulty of that nature, and he
was sure that the Court felt obliged to him for the
manner in which he had performed his duties.—
(Cheers.) The Court would also bear in mind that
Sir James Duke had also given great satisfaction to
his fellow-citizens at large—a fact which was estab-
lished beyond a doubt by the unanimous manner in
which they had elected him one of their. representa-
tive,. To be a representative of the City was not an
uncommon occurrence in his ward, for three Aldermen
had, within his own recollection, been returned as
Members for the City to the Commons' House of
Parliament. Still the unanimous manner in which
Sir James Duke had been selected by all parties—
Whigs, Tories, Radicals, and Conservatives—showed
that he had the entire confidence of his fellow-citizens.
He ( Mr. Deputy Bedford) would notice the manner
in which the late Lord Mayor had discharged the duties
of his position towards the various charities of the
City. He had noticed that the attention paid by
previous Lord Mayors to the public charities lied
proved a great boon to the poorer classes, and he had
often expressed his opinion that the charities of Lon-
don were the brightest jewels in the civic crown.
There was scarcely a church in the city of London
which the Lord Mayor had not attended, with the
object of increasing the funds of charitable institu-
tions.—(Cheers.) Not only so, but he had taken the
chair at a variety of public meetings, and had not—
that he (Mr. Deputy Bedford) was aware of—refused
once to preside when called on to do so ; on the
contrary, he had on those occasions, with his usual
zeal, advocated the cause involved in a manner that
had done him the greatest credit.—(Cheers.) lie
must likewise remark on the way in which Sir James
Duke had attended to the business of the Board of
Health. At that time, when great alarm was felt
in consequence of the ravages of cholera, the late
Lord Mayor punctually attended all the dif-
ferent committees of the board. Everything he
could do he did, and the Court was greatly obliged to
him fur the manner in which he had acted.—(Cheers.)
His conduct in the justice-room of the Mansion-house
would meet with the approbation of every gentleman
in that Court.—(Cheers.) He had paid great atten
tion and exhibited great discrimination in discharging
the business of that Court, and in that respect also
they were highly satisfied with his conduct.—
(Cheers.) With regard to the opening of the Coal-
Exchange, that had proved a most splendid affair, and
the Corporation had not only to thank Sir James
Duke, but the committee which had directed the ar-
rangements of the ceremony. With the share taken
by the late Lord Mayor in the opening of the Coal-
Exchange they were bound to be the more gratified as
her Majesty the Queen, who liked to reward merit,
had conferred on him the honour of a baronetcy.—
(Cheers.) That Court was always delighted when
her Majesty showered honours on the citizens of
London, He would conclude by moving the following
vote of thanks to Sir James Duke:—

" Resolved, that the cordial and sincere thanks of this
Court are hiTeby presented to Sir James Duke, Knight
and Baronet, M.P., late Lord Mayor, for the admirable
manner in which he has sustained-the dignity and up-
held the character of the high and responsible offioa;of
Chief Magistrate of this ancient city, fulfilling all its
duties with credit to himself and satisfaction to the
public—for the munificent hospitality displayed by bim,
not only to his fellow-citizen:, but also to the repre
sentatives of foreign Courts, as well as to the distin-
guished public men of this country, without regard to
political p-srty or religious opinions, while at the same
time ho has not been unmindful of that proper consider-
ation so eminently due to art, science, and literature—
for his liberal patronage and advocacy of the many
noble charities and public institutions which adorn this
metropolis, more especially for his prompt exertions in
aiding by bis official authority the measures adopted to
arrest :the ravages of rthe recent fatal visitation of
cholera—for the able, impartial, and dignified manner
in which he has presided over the deliberations of this
Court, and for the courtesy exhibited at all times to its
members. That this Court congratulate him upon the
honours awarded to him during his mayoralty, enter-
, taining a confident hope that he will long retain the
approbation of this Court 'and of his fellow-citizens by
the faithful discharge of his public duties, watching over
their important shipping and commercial interests, and
upholding their rights and privileges as one of the re-
presentatives of this city in the great council of the
nation." •

Mr. Deputy °DRUID seconded the motion, and
said that it would be bad taste in him to go into any
lengthened argument on such a subject. lie agreed
in all that his friend had stated in regard to the me-
rits of Sir James Duke, and though there had been
many Lords Mayor in his time, and though they had
all done their duty with credit to themselves and
beneficially to the public, none had exceeded him.
Every man was fallible, but he always gave people
credit for good intentions when he believed that they
did nothing wilfully to offend.—(Hear.) Ho would
not take up the time of the Court further, but con-
clude by saying that he had great pleasure in second.
ing the motion.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. L. JONES thought that before the Court agreed
to the resolution something was due to it from the
late Lord Mayor. When the Court met on a former
occasion, with reference to the royal visit to the City,
he had asked the late Lord Mayor whether he had
not received a letter communicating the indisposition•
of her Majesty. He acknowledged tigat- he had, but
he thought fit to leave the Court without communi-
cating one word of the contents—a matter which
was of great importance in order to guide
the proceedings of the Corporation on the
occasion. The late Lord Mayor had treated
the letters which he had received as private
information, though they related to the health of the
Sovereign. Surely the communication ought instantly
to have been made to the Court, which would then
have taken the constitutional course of directing its
proper officers to wait on the Ministers of State, to
know if it was the pleasure of her Majesty to postpone
her visit. But not one word was communicated to
the Court, and the indisposition of her Majesty was
first announced to them in the evening papers of that
day. The Lord Mayor promised that the letters
received by him should be communicated to the
committee; but the Court knew nothing of them.
He was led to believe from the best information that
the City had thus been deprived of her Majesty's
presence--(Cries of "No, no.") He asked them, if
they doubted the fac', to let an inquiry take place,
and therwould find if it was not anticipated that the
Royal visit would be postponed. Be that as it might,
he asserted, that there had been an omission on
the part of the late Lord Mayor in not communicating
to the Court information which was due to it. He
did not rise to oppose the resolution, but would ask
the chairman of the Coal Exchange Committee
whether he was in possession of the letters to which
he had referred, and if so, he (Mr. Lambert Jones)
wished them to be read to the Court, as bid been
promised. —(Disapprobation )
Mr. ANDERTON hoped that the chairman would
not
consent to produce the letters. Ho was of opinion
judiciously,
for the late Lord Mayor hal acted most
for had the communication been made at that time it
would have alarmed the whole country as to the state
of her Majesty's health, and might have been made
use of on the Stock Exchange.—(" No, no," from
Mr. Lambert Jones) If the whole question was to
he opened be thoug at that the discussion should be
conducted with clo'ed doors.
Mr. J. Low also thought that the discussion should
be conducted privately. But the chairman of the
Coal Exchange Committee informed him that he did
not feel at liberty to read private letters.
Mr. BLARE said that whatever opinion the Court
might entertain as to the act of the late Lord Mayor,
whether it was an act of indiscretion or not, he would
ask whether it was consistent with good taste to in-
troduce such a subject at the present moment, when
they were about to pay the meed of approbation justly
due to a man on whom the honour of a baronetcy had
been conferred by his Sovereign ? At any other time
an inquiry might be made into the subject, if such a
course was thought expedient.

Mr. L. JONES said that he ,had nothing to withd
but he begged to ask the Court whether it wished tha
the letters to which he had referred should is read ?
—(Loud cries of " No, no."),
--- Mr. J. WOOD thought that if a diseassion was to '
arise it ought to be with closed doors, for he felt it
would not be right that he should be asked to read •
the in open court letters of a private charaeer. He
assured the Court that the Committee of the Coal-Ex--
change was free from all blame. The arrangements
connected with the Royal visit gave universal satis-
faction, he believed. Ile had himself been honoured
with an assurance from his Royal Highness Prince
Albert that the arrangements had befin most satisfac-
tory, and he trusted that no further discussion would
arise upon the subject. He had further to mention
that tha letters to vi hick reference had been made, if
they were read, would not b?ar out the cons‘ruction
that some members of the Court had put upon them.
—(ilean) It was only within the last two or three •
days that those letters had been put into his hands.
What l e had said on his own behalf he could state
on behalf of every member of the CoabExchange
Committee. He hoped, however, that the discus-

siml would terminate at once.—(Hear.)
Mr. LOTT, who complained that the late Lord
Mayor, Laving promised him to produce the letters
to the Court, i)ad brektn his word, announced his
intention, it' h held up his hand alone, to oppose the
vote of thanks.
Mr. STEVENS and others having spoken shortly on
thesulject,

The vote of thanks was put and carried by an
almost unanim;Jui show of hands, Mr. Lott being the
only member of the Court who held up his hand
against it. He did so with so much perseverance as
to excite general laugher in the court, holding his
arm up for at least three minutes longer than was at
all necessary.
The RECORDER then read a letter from Sir James
Duke requesting that as soon as the business of the
late ma) oralty was disposed of he might be permitted
to make a confidential communication to the Court.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and on
their re-admission the general business of the Court
was proceeded
The TOWN CLERK said he had received lists of free-
men and non freemen of the City from all the wards,
with the exception of the wards of Bishopsgate Within
and Cord wainers, from which no account whatever
had been returned.

Ordered to be entered in the minutes of the Court.
The TOWN CLERK read a letter which had been
addressed by Mr. Pritchard, the High Bailiff of
Southwark, to the Lord MAyor, Aldermen, and
Commons, in Common Council assembled. It stated
that he was by the terms of his appointment to re-
ceive and legally to enforce the receipt of all fines
and amerciaments imposed by competent authority
within the borough ; that in the schedule lately de-
livered' to him of fines imposed by the Court Leet, he
found two fines awarded by one of the Courts against
Mr. John Humphary, alderman, the one of 51., in re-
spect cf his weights and measures, and the other 101.,
for obstructing the public highway in front of his pre-
mises in the borough ; that iu answer to the applica-
tion for payment of the fines, the alderman disputed
them, and stated it to be his intention to remove the
whole proceedings to the Court of Queen's Bench, at
Westminster, and that as the effect of such a proceed-
ing in the first law courts of the country might be to
draw into serious question' the rights of the Corpo-
ration within the borough of Southwark, the High
BQiliff was unwilling to take the initiative in an
affair possibly of so much importance without special
directions from the Court.

Alderman Rumen Fay said ho had strong grounds
for determining upon the course of resisting such an
attempt as had been de=cribed, and for which there
was no justification whatever. As to the obstruction
complained of, it consisted in the removal of goods
from one part of his premi4es to another. The Court
Leet, of which the Recorder was steward, had de-
cided that the ietermuliate space was the public way.
lle denied that such was the fact; and if such were
the fact, the premisses would be comparatively value-
less to him. As for the defective weights and mea-
sures alluded to, they had been on the premises for a
great length of time and were never used, and their
deficiency was caused by a fire which had taken place
there some years age, and by which the lead attached
to the iron had been melted. He was determined to
refer, under such circumstances, to a higher authority
than that by which the penalties, of which he would
not pay one farthing, were claimed.
It was stated by a member that the conviction
was confirmed in the Court, in which the Recorder
presided. _ . _

Mr. NORRIS moved that the communication be re.
(erred to the Officers and Ch rks Committee.

Mr. DE JERSEY moved as an amendment that it
should be laid upon the table.

Mr. WIRE said he hoped there would be no attempt
to revive court leets. Ile knew what such courts were
in other districts—merely institutions for inflicting
plunder.
Finally, the High-Bailiff's letter was ordered to lie
on the table.

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS OF THE SEWERS ACCOUNTS.
Upon . the motion of Mr. BLARE, it was agreed,
after some discwsion, that the resolution of the
Court of the 16th of October, "that the auditors of
the Commissioners of Sewers be not paid," should be
rescinded, and the Court then agreed "that the said
auditors be not members of the Court, and that the
said auditors be paid the sum of five guineas each."

APPOINTMENT OF COMMISSIONERS.
The Court proceeded to appoint four Commis-
rnissioner upon the Metropolitan Commission of
Sewers, in accordance with the Act. The following
gentlemen were appointed :—Mr. Alderman Law-
rence, Mr. Deputy Peacock, Mr. Deputy Harrison,
and Mr. H. Lowman Taylor.
Several reports were brought up from the Coal,
Corn, and Finance Committee recommending that
sums of money should be granted to charities.
The Court agreed to the reports, and the Chamber•
lain was ordered to pay the amounts.
Adjourned.
