FORTY-EIGHT and FORTY-NINE
Another most eventful year
Has ended its disturbed career.
Time's clock has struck —the act is o'er,
And Forty-eight is now no more.
Scarce had the dawn of Forty-eight
Been signalled by the dial-plate,
When round all Europe, I±ke a cloud,
Dread elements were seen to crowd.
Not only did our own blest isle
Lose, for a time, its peaceful smile ;
Not only did the Briton hear,
The fearful note of "danger near;"
But every throne was seen to rock
Beneath the social earthquake's shock.
The mighty nation of the Gaul
(A scene more terrible than all),
Beheld a king forsake his throne,
And seek a country not his own.
Ah ! hapless France! thy land bath been
A terrible—a fearful scene !
Adown thy streets where armed men rode,
Thy people's blood bath freely flowed;
While nearly all the civil world
In dread confusion has been hurled.
Few years have seen events so great,
So marvellous as Forty-eight ;
But happily we still retain
Victoria's unmolested reign.
Though civil broils awhile were heard,
Oar realm is now no longer stirred.
Peace is restored—Eritannia smiles,
And order reigns throughout the isles.
Commerce and trade once more revive,
And promise speedily to thrive.
MOSES and SON rejoice to say
That still their Mart retains its sway ;
While palaces and thrones decayed,
They still were monarchs of the trade.
MOSES and SON, amid the stir,
Are firmer than they ever were;
And like Victoria, they can say,
They grow in confidence each day.
Nor have they ever had to fear
The changes of the bygone year.
MOSES and SON, in Forty-eight,
Have met with favours more than great ;
And multitudes have lent their aid
In every branch of MOSES' trade. •
They feel their gratitude is due
For trading favours ever new.
And action—better far than word—
Shall liquidate the debt incurred.
MOSES and SON, the coming year,
In brighter colours will appear ;
While all their energies combine
In signalising Forty-nine.
Their efforts to exceed the past,
Throughout the ensuing year shall last.
They could a trading ale disclose
Surpassing far what you suppose.
The capital at their command
Shall place them on a higher stand;
A thousand benefits shall show
Thanks for the favours you bestow.
MOSES and SON will prove to you
What trading enterprise can do.
While quality and price combine
To claim your aid for Forty-nine.
In all the garments you may wear,
Improvements shall be brought to bear.
MOSES and SON would thus defray
The debt which they have now to pay;
And doubtless in the ensuing year
All efforts will be mutual here.
While MOSES thus would study you,
Your daily favours you'll renew.
MOSES and SON request your aid,
And trust you'll patronise their trade.
" Consult yourselves," they say, " and come
For garments at a moderate sum.
Think what you've gain'd in years gone by,
And grant a favouring reply.
You never found them once contemn
The trust which you reposed in them ;
And when the present season ends,
Still, still will MOSES' prove your friends.
•
And coming to a climax here,
They wish their patrons, far and near,
A happy and a prosperous year."

REVIEW of the PAST.
As years roll on, and changes intervene,
'Tis only to look at every varied scene,
To watch the changes and report progress,
And still adhere, to fashion and to dress ;
So list a moment—we intend to show,
That first-rate talent—must successful flow.
The waning year has brought great changes round,
Kings, rulers, princes, fallen to the ground ;
But yet our land—our thrice triumphant land,
Still in'her might and majesty doth stand :
Our Queen still rules, dear to a thousand hearts,
Whilst England yet her giant strength imparts ;
Amidst the crush—the panic of the trade,
L.' HYAM stands in all his might arrayed. ,
Ills truthful system, and his deeds alone,
Jest reared him to the tradesman's loftiest throne,
And all confess—the million now can tell.
When, how, and where a man like him excels.
In splendid trade, in dark depression's time,
L. HYAM would his gratitude entwine.
He would return his grateful thanks to those
Who honour him for Hats, and Caps, and Clothes,
Aud prove that pleasing was the greatest aim,
Known at this place of commerce and of fame.
Whilst competition stalks throughout our town,
In puny stature, seeking for renown ;
• Still ttis refreshing to acknowledge all around,
• That lIYAM'S fame is daily gaining ground ;
And one and all admit this startling tact,
,Whil 4 others talk, L. HYAM fearless acts.
. Tgi all his friends does HY A.M tender now,
The deepest gratitude that e'er could flow ;
Su-,icess has marked the fading year immense;
And new, regardless of the word expense,
Shall '49 bring wonders to the sight,
:::trae:tsh:iiLiz: :is patrons with delight.

TO THE LADLES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the " Times" news_
'paper on Aug. 7, 1346. Reader, remember, this letter was put Int
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtass of Mr. G.'s
itegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an lls. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
Perlence, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume HI far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasare, in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact'.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, fife w
drops en the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mare it strong, aid
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing this hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs aid towers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops
on the erevrn et the head; if very bad, repeat it every•quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If aged on infants'
beads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence en the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See
pamphlet of testimonials.
All letters addressed to William Gemstone, Herbary, flidbgate.

74_ One half the world are desolately single, and the otker
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
b:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
comprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
Reelect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on

[ADVERTISEMENT.]
ANOTHER ENLARGRMENT OF THE WEEKLY DIS-
PATCH.—This Journal, at present the largest in exist-
ence—unrivalled for its early intelligence and uncom-
pr. wising advocacy of the Rights of Mankind—will be
enlarged, on and after Sunday next, the 7th of January,
to sixteen pages, containing sixty-four columns, of the
same size and form as at present, without any extra
charge. By its zeal in the cause of progress, and its
staunch devotion to the interests of the people, the Dis-
patch has become a terror to the upholder of abuses,
and a powerful auxiliary on behalf of the oppressed,
whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and ex-
posure. Encouraged by their success, and anxious to
extend the sphere of their political influence and social
utility, the proprietors have resolved on the proposed
enlargement of the Dispatch, which hereafter will
answer the purpose of tour newspapers, and thus accom-
modate four readers at one and the same time. The
columns of the Dispatch will still continue to be enriched
by the powerful contributions of " Publicola," "Caus-
tic," " Censorius." Eliza Cook, and other writers emi-
nently distinguished for their literary attainments, and
whose opinions have ever advocated the cause of the
people, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. It may
also be observed, that the poor man will always receive
legal advice and assistance, as heretofore, from the Dis-
patch. A beautiful new type has been cast, on which
the Dispatch will this year be printed. An edition of
the Dispatch is published at five o'clock every Saturday
morning, for transmission by the first train and morning
mails, so that persons residing in towns► 250 miles from
London may receive it the same evening. To prevent
disappointment, orders should be given early to Mr.
Richard Wood, 139, Fleet-street, London, to whom post-
office orders may be made payable, or to any of the news-
venders, in town and country.
FlRE.—Last night, between eight and nine o'clock,
a fire broke out in the mansion belonging to Sir Edward
Scott, 45, Bryanston-square, St. Marylebone. Plenty
of water having been immediately obtained, the firemen
set to work, and after labouring some time they suc-
ceeded, with the aid of the police, in getting the mastery
over the fire; but it was not extinguished until very con-
siderable damage was done by fire and water. The
origin of the disaster is not known.

INDIA.

THE ARMY OF THE CHENAUB.

As the operations of the force of which Lord
Gough is about to take command in person are likely
to be for the present mainly on the line of the Che-
naub, we have designated it accordingly, as it will for
some time to come, in all likelihood, occupy a very
considerable share of our attention. In our last we
mentioned the completion of the bridge of boats
across the Ravee, near Lahore. At this date the
brigades of Gedby and Eckford, with the cavalry
under Brigadier Cureton, had just crossed. The
troops at this time encamped on the further bank of
the Ravee, consisted of one light field battery ; three
troops of Horse Artillery, one of which was Euro-
pean,
or 400 altogether, with 24 guns; one regiment
of Dragoons; '6OO ;' two regiments of Regular
and one of Irregular Cavalry, 1,500; with 1,000
European, and 3,000 Native, Infantry—or a grand
total of 7,000. On the 31 f November the army
received orders to advance in the direction of Vizier-
abad—Eckford's brigade alone remaining to guard the
bridge. The 14th Dragoons joined them, and the
whole force rested the first day at Baolee, fourteen
miles from their previous position. On the 4th they
had a march to Goojranwallah, upwards of twenty
miles, over a dry, barren, sandy country. On the
way, at a distance, they saw' the appearance of a
body of men which they supposed to be the enemy,
and immediately gave chase. For five miles some
2,000 mounted troops were seen at a gallop or hard
trot across the country, when it turned out that it
was a portion of the friendly troops under Lieu-
tenant Nicholson on their way towards Ramnugger
that had been mistaken for insurgents. On the
sth the tidings of the fall of Peshawur reached them,
and here it was supposed they would stop until further
reinforced, as the enemy were believed to be in
strength close by. They pushed on, however, to
Dadun-Singh-ka-Killah, between Vizierabad and
Ramnugger, sixteen miles from each, and there
awaited some way from the Chenaub the arrival of
reinforcements. They had in the course of their ad-
vance experienced no molestation and seen no enemy,
the villages appearing for the most part deserted. On
the Bth General Cureton changed ground to make
way for Eckford's brigade, consisting of the fourth
company of the sixth battalion of artillery, and the
31st and 56th Native Infantry, expected on the follow-
ing day, as well as with a view of keeping a fine open
plain in front for the reception of the enemy in case
they thought fit to advance. On the 11th Brigadier-
General Campbell arrived from Lahore, bringing
with him the 36th and 46th Native Infantry.
He had just been appointed to the command of the
4th division of the army of the Punjaub, to consist of
Wheeler's Brigade, now also ordered up, with two
regiments under Colonel Hoggan. As senior officer
with the force he immediately took command,
Brigadier Cureton falling back on a divison.
Brigadier Campbell was accompanied by Brigadier
He arsey, by Captain Burroughs, Assistant Adjutant-
General; Captain Bontein, Assistant Commissary-
General ; and Captain Wheeler, Major of Brigade.
He accomplished the distance of 57 miles in three
marches. Brigadier Pope was rapidly advancing with
a large addition to the mounted portion of the force,
consisting of three troops of Horse Artillery, her
Majesty's 9th Lancers, nearly 600 strong, with the Ist
and 6th Light Cavalry, or above 1,800 in all. They
crossed the Ravee on the 12th, and reached camp
without accident or molestation on the 19th.
The Commander-in-Chief himself arrived at
Ferozepore on the sth, and after three days' stay
started for Lahore, where he arrived on the 13th, and
encamped at Anarkullee, leaving the sth and 6th
brigades, commanded by Colonels Mountain and
Pennycuick, at Meean Meer. He had been visited
by the Maharaja and chief men of the Durbar, but
excused himself from detention on the score of haste.
He crossed the Ravee on the 16th, moved on Pind-
Dad-ka-kote on the 17th, thence entering the Rechna
Doab, and taking the command in person. He was
expected to reach the Chenaub on the 21st. He was
accompanied by the pontoon train and heavy guns.
On the 12th Brigadier Wheeler's force, 4,000
strong, now the second brigade of the fourth division
of the army of the Punjaub, crossed the Ravee at
Buttnee Ghaut on the direct road from Battala and
Etneenabad. The brigade proceeded without inter-
ruption or annoyance, and reached General Campbell's
camp on the 13th.
On the 15th the brigade of Colonel Pennycuick,
consisting of her Majesty's 24th, and the 22d and
25th Native Infantry, crossed the Itavee, with Major-
General Sir J. Thackwell, and the head-quarters of
the third division of the army of the Punjaub. On the
16th the head-quarters of the second division fol-
lowed, under Major-General Sir W. R. Gilbert, with
Col. Mountain's brigade, consisting of her Majesty's
29th, with the 13th and 30th Native Infantry.
The grand convoy left Ferozepore on the 15th. It
was escorted by the 3d and 9th Irregular Cavalry and
15th and 69th Native Infantry. With these there
were two 24-pounders, eight 18-pounders, two 8-inch
howitzers, with a number of lesser and 9-pounder and
6-pounder guns. Three elephants were harnessed to
each of the heavy guns, and did their work to ad-
miration. There were about 800 bullock carts loaded
with ammunition, 100 rounds being allowed to each
gun, with a vast quantity to spare. The keep of the
elephants with the force costs about 181. a month
each ; horses, about 3/. 10s. ; camels and bullocks,
about 21.

Meanwhile General Campbell, abundantly reinforced
with all kinds of troops, on the approach of the Com-
mander-in - Chief,with head- quarters,lchanged his camp
on the 17th, moving from Dadun-Singh-ka-Killah
down the river to Allipore, a village within eight
miles of Ramnugger, at which latter place the enemy
were still said to be in force. General Cureton had
been fired upon 'on the 16th on reconnoitering Alli-
pore, which was said to be occupied by a strong
body of Seikhs ; the Dragoons were ordered out, and
a conflict was expected, when it was found that
during the night the enemy had found it convenient
to decamp. A heavy fire of artillery was at the same
time heard beyond the river, the cause of which was
not known. On the morning of the 19th General
Campbell, accompanied by two light
guns, a squadron
of her Majesty's 14th Dragoons, and another of the sth
Light Cavalry, proceeded on a reconnoitring expedi-
tion in the direction of Ramnugger, passing to the left of
Allipore. The brigades of Pope and
Wheeler bad
both joined ; those of Pennycuick and Mountain,
with the Commander-in-Chief, were close at hand.
His Excellency having taken the command in person
on crossing the Ravee, forbade all attempts to bring
on an engagement with the enemy till he arrived in
the camp; this he expected to do on the 21st. Shene
Singh was encamped beyond the Chenaub ; he never
seems to have been on this side at all since he first
crossed on his way up from Moultan. He was said
to have some twenty guns and 15,000 troops under
him of all descriptions, a third of them, at least, being
very irregular indeed. Against this we have the
following magnificent force, consisting, as will be
seen, of above 20,000 men, with, at least, 60 pieces of
ordnance, many of them of very large calibre. We
have three regiments of:Dragoons and four:of European
Infantry, all on their war establishment. It was ex-
pected that we should advance in two divisions, one
by Ramnugger, the other by Vizierabad ; when the
forward movementlwill occur, we must not, in these
days of procraitination, venture to conjecture. The
grand convoy only left. Ferozepore on the 15th, and
could not arrive before the 25th, and until then his
Excellency will most likely take it leisurely.

After the above was in type we received a letter
from General Campbell's camp, dated the 20th of
November. On that day the General had gone out to
meet and consult with Lord Gough on the plan of
their further advance. The Commander-in-Chief
would join the force the next day. The inhabitants of
Allipore had refused supplies, and a small 'force with
four guns had been sent to compel them to give
up their stores, which proved to be very ample. Shere
Singh would no doubt regret haring allowed so much
to fall into our hands. The country people com-
plained to our officers of the exactions made from
them, and the zoo/um (oppression) practised against
them by the Shere's followers. The discharges of
artillery heard in our camp on the 19th and 20th ap-
peared to come from a greater distance than formerly ;
and it was confidently reported that Shere Singh was
retreating. The troops were in high health and the
best possible spirits at the expectation of an advance,
which, it was thought, would take place immediately
Lord Gough joined.
The Delhi Gazette of the 25th November reached
us yesterday evening, from which we extract the
following
