THE WAR in the PUNJAU B.
A WORD TO LORD DOUGH.
My Lord, you-will pardon a pun on the Punjaub,
When I say 'Us a bad job as well as a done job.
Napier, it appears, is to start as your peer,
Commanded to take the commandership here.
Gough must go of, so the rulers declare,
And another must settle the Sutlej affair.
This decision, my Lord, may be painful to you,
But I view it as proper—l certainly do.
Only think of the victims who fell by the Jhelum,
I fain would restore them, and raise them, and heal'em,
And view the brave captains who now are no more,
Who fought their last fight on the Jhelum's red shore.
But, my .ord, I forbear, and at once I would waive
A topic so touching—a subject so grave.
I was thinking, my Lord, that the subject is one
Which may give an idea to 16. MOSES and SON.
Though you as Commander-in-Chief must come back
With something which greatly resembles the sack.
Still. still Messrs. MOSES and SON are displayed
As the gallant Commanders-in-Chief of the trade.
Encamped on a spot for which multitudes search,
Commanding a view of St. Botolph's tall ohurch.-
E. MOSES and SON in a mercantile war
Have faced competition, and made him withdraw.
THE GARMENTS OF MOSES
Command admiration,
As samples of fashion, whatever our station.
And ail who such articles wisely procure
A very commanding appearance ensure.
THE HATS AND THE BOOTS
Bought at MOSES depot
Command approbation wherever they go ;
And MOSES' command the respect of the buyer
Precisely the same as they do in attire.
While armies of ladies (excuse such a phrase),
Honour MOSES and SON with unlimited praise :
FURS, HOSIERY, SHAWLS,
And in fact all the rest,
Command vast support as the cheapest and best. •
And thus Messrs. MOSES and SON are displayed
As Commanders-in-Chief in the battle of trade.

FINANCIAL Reroksi.—On tFriday last a public
meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Wakefield
wad held in the Court-house of that place, having been
convened by the mayor in compliance with a numer
ously-signed requisition, to consider the propriety of
petitioning Parliament in favour of a muck larger re-
duction in the estimates of the public expenditure than
that proposed. by her Majesty's Ministers: His worship
presided on the occasion, and opened the proceedings.
The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. T. M.
Carter, Mr. C. Morton, the Rev; E. Higginson, and other
gentlemen, and a petition was adopted in favour of Mr.
Cobden's plan of financial reform.
RETIREMENT FROM PARLIAMENT OF SIR WILLIAM
HEATHCOTE, BART., M .P. FOR NORTH HANTS.—The
constituency of North Hants will learn with pain and
regret, from Sir William Heathcote, that the Honourable
Baronet is compelled by ill health to retire from the
performance of those duties in Parliament which he has,
for a series of years, discharged with such high honour
to himself, and gratification to the electors, including
those opposed to him in politics. Sir William was a
constant attendant in his seat in Parliament, where he
always upheld those Conservative principles, upon the
maintenance of which, as events have shown, the pros-
perity of the whole interest of the people must depend.
Though gifted with powers of eloquence of a high order,
Sir William but seldom occupied the time of the House
by their display; but when he did so, the impression he
created indicated the eminence which it was in his power
to achieve. In those laborious duties in Committees,
where the really practical work of the Member of Par.
lisment is performed, he was indefatigable, and his ser-
vices were most highly appreciated by the Speaker, his
colleagues, and the parties whose interests were at stake.
As Sir William is only in his forty-eight year, we may
have reasonably hope that thatkbodily and mental relief
which a total abstraction from public business for some
time will give, may enable him at some future day to
resume that high position which he is so well qualified
to adorn.—liampshire Advertiser.
