A. MEETING of the " MEMBERS" of a
MOST IMPORTANT "BODY."
A meeting took place, for I heard and I saw,
And what do you fancy this meeting was for?
Why the meeting, from all I could gather, was one
To decide on the merits of MOSES and SON.
The excellent Chairman, Sound Judgment, Esquire,
Having said a few words with regard to attire,
Mr. Shoulders, a man of respectable note,
Wished to make a remark on his
WAISTCOAT AND COAT.
"I think," said the speaker, "you all ought to view
My Waistcoat, my Coat, and my Overcoat, too.
I ought to speak warmly of MOSES," said he,
" When I see the warm garments they've furnished to me.
With this Mr. Legs, arose on his pegs,
And declared ho considered himself the mere dregs.
" My sabject," said he, " you're aware, is my
TROW.SERS,
• But, alas! as to speaking, I cannot tell how, Sirs;
For the speaker's so had, and the Trowsers' so good,
That I cannot praise MOSES and SON as I would."
Mr. Head next arose from the place where he sat,
And delivered an eloquent speech on his
HAT.
"I am sure, Mr Chairman." said he, " that I'm right,
In pronouncing it stylish, elastic, and light.
To the Hat-mart of MOSES and SON I'll adhere
As staunchly as ever!" (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.")
This speaker was foil awed by one Mr. Foot,
Who rose with a dignified stamp on his
BOOT.
"I am certain," said he, that I'm true in declaring
The Boots made by MOSES unequalled for wearing ;
They are matchless in quarters, in sole, and in vamp."
Aid here Mr. Foot gave another loud stamp.
Then the Chairman arose, and was happy to find
Tim whole of the speakers so much of a mini.
"And." said he, "on behalf of the ladies, good Sirs,
I feel it my duty to speak of the
FURS.
If I did not pronounce them the best you could wear,
I consider I should not be fit for the chair ;
And remember the very low pfices you pay,
For these, and for all that you've mentioned to-day.
I trust that the whole of the jourtills, as one.
Will rep..rt what we've said of E. MOSES and SON."
" Hear, hear," said the whole of the gentlemen there,
And the business was enned with thanks to the chair.

E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting-
coats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort
in tho it. E. ➢i. and I. aro convinced they will be much approved
oi by the public.

FOHN and CHARLES COCKS, the Sole Pro-

SAUCE, beg to Caution the Publics against the daily frauds practised
by many London and Country Oilmen, who are offering their spurious
compositions as the Genuine Reading Sauce.
This SAUCE is patronised and recommended by most Families in
the Kingdom, and for general use it stands unrivalled. It is sold by
all respectable Oilmen and Fish Sauce Venders. Be particular in

THE BEST APERIENT and ANTIBILIOUS
MEDICINE for general use is FRAMPTON'S PILL OF,
HEALTH, which effectually relieves the stomach and bowels by,
gentle relaxation, without griping or prostration of strength. They
remove head-ache, sickness, dizziness. pains in the chest, &c., are
highly grateful to the stomach, promote digestion, create appetite, re-
lieve langour and depression of spirits ; while to those of full habit
and free livers, who are continually suffering from drowsiness, heavi-
ness, and singing in the head and ears, they offer advantages that will
not fail to be appreciated.
This medicine° has for many years received the approval of the
most respectable classes of society ; and in confirmation of its effi-
cacy, the following letter has been kindly forwarded to Mr. Prout,
with permission to publish it, and if requisite, to refer any respect-
able person to its author:—
" To Mr. Front, 229, Strand, London.
" Heavitree, Exeter, April 24, 1844.

" Sm,—l feel pleasure in being able to bear my strong and unsoli-
cited testimony to the excellence ofyour Frampton's Pill of Health,'
which I consider a most safe, efficacious, and very superior ge-
neral medicine. The widow of an officer, an elderly lady, and
near relative of mine, has used them—very rarely having re-
course to any other medicine for a long period of years. She
has recommended them extensively, and in one instance in
which she induced a person to adopt them, and supplied the
first box herself, they have proved of extraordinary efficacy. I think
that, perhaps, there is scarcely any other of the many patent medi-
cines before the public of equal value as a friend in need ;' certainly
none possessed of superior claims. I shall be happy on all occasions
to give them my individual recommendation; and am, Sir,
" Your obedient servant,

approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease,
which, for want of careful investigation of its real cause, has been
set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work,
be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per-
sons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary con-
tamption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has
been the indulgence in cerin detaructive habits practised by youth
much more frequently than it is at all suspected.

1/fil One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably coetented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, We the great hindrances to domestic happiness
end social content. The do wry 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 sr

0 V E is the leading feeling of the human
breast. More exalted than mere passion, it sears high above
every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its iniluence, er can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling
power ef LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity
with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage.
When union does not take place, however, this passion, this
fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly
poison in the heart, which now darkens, as it before bright-
ened, all things upon earth. How is it that men, of most un-
changeable habits, will change at the very altar, and after a life-
time spent in the fulfilment ef every engagement, snap the very con-
tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind?
It is the effect of conscience. The Lover, by enervation of early
habits, or the results of secret disease, knows himself to be
disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has been
instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of important
ends. The wretched condition of such a being must subsequently be
beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, ho entails the
most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, and upon
himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of
natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of
Ulalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. These desirous of investigating it will find the
flille.st and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled

SELF-PRESERVATION,
illustrated by forty coloured engravinzs on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductiro organs ; with practical observa-
tions oa the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
solitary habits, excesses, or Infection.

By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.,
Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary
Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c.
This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and
much neglected branch of medical practice, and the author having ob-
tained the highest medical honours, is a guarantee for his profes-
sional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treat-
ment of these diseases.

REVIEW OF THE wear.
La'Mert en the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—. 4 There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which inch scenes must plunge him 1 In tile book before as
each a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one Idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
if masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ' and it

WEST INDIAN AND MEXICAN

MAILS..

SUIIiIIAAIPTON, OCT. 25.

The Royal Mail Steam-packet Company's ship
Trent, Captain R. S. Norton, arrived off this port at
4 P.M., with the usual British and Foreign West
Indian and Mexican Mails, in charge of Lieutenant
Percival, R.N., Admiralty agent.
Her dates are—New Orleans, Sept. 26; Tampico,
15; Vera Cruz, 20; Havannah, 30; Nassau, Oct. 3 ,
Honduras, Sept. 11 ; San Jago de Cuba, 19 ; Ja-
maica, 22; Demerara, 19; To' ago, 20; Trinidad,
21 ; Barbadoes, 28 ; Grenada, 23 ; St. Lucia, 29 ;
Martinique, 29 ; Guadaloupe, 29 ; Dominique, 29 ;
Antigua, 30 ; Montserrat, 30 ; N evis, 30 ; St. Kitts,
30; Tortola, 30 ; St. Thomas's, Oct. 1 ; Bermuda, 10.
The Trent experienced very bad weather in the Gulf
of Mexico, which caused her detention for four days,
and accounts for her late arrival. The commander
reports the prevalence of very heavy south-west gales
on the voyage from Bermuda.
The Trent has brought no news from Mexico of
laterigate than received by the America via New Or-
leans and New York.

Our regular files of Jamaica papers have miscar-
ried, the steamers from Jamaica to Havennah, with
the mails for the Trent, not having brought any;
we are consequently without any advices from that
colony.
We learn from Demerara that the weather had
}men very favourable for the crops, which would be of
more than an ordinary average in quantity.
The amount produce shipped from Trinidad to the
15th of September, was as follows :—Sugar-24,978
hogsheads, 1,975 tierces, 4,894 barrels. Molasses-
-7,780 puncheons and 137 tierces.

pain of death, had been arrested and condemned at:
the assizes to five years' imprisonment.
The Trent has brought 16
cabin passengers,
amongst whom are Lieutenant Sim, Royal Engineers,
and Lieutenant Alaynard, 88th Regiment, from Bar-
badoes ; also two sergeants and one corporal of artil-
lery, and one sergeant of the 42d Regiment, from.
Bermuda, and eight distressed British seamen.
The freight list comprises 29,138 dolls. on account
of Mexican dividends, 1,243,205 dolls. on merchants'
account, 28 ounces gold, 32 ounces gold dust, 365
serons cochineal, 49 cases cigars, 50 bales tobacco, 4
bags coffee, and 44 packages sundries.
Her Majesty's ship
Electra was at Vera Cruz when
the Trent left, expecting to be relieved by the Hound;
the latter vessel sailed from Havannah for that purpose
on the 27th. The Alarm, Daring, and steamer
Scourge were with the Admiral at Halifax. The
Trincomalee was at Antigua. At Havannah on the
Ist of October, the Spanish frigate Pearl, corvette
Columbar, and Patriola brig.

failing to do him any good, but leaving hire, in fact, in a
considerably worse condition. At this juncture Hollo-
way's Pills and Ointment were resorted to, and by their
solo means he has been restored to health and strength.

ANIMAL. SAGACITY.--A somewhat singular instance
of animal sagacity has been told us as having occurred
at Drumlithie market last woek. A two -year-oldquey,
which had been purchased from a drove belonging to
Mr. Officer, cattle-dealer, was driven to its new home at
Allardice, a distance of six miles from the place of sale,
and put into a grass park there. By some means or
other it escaped from the enclosure, and on the afternoon
of the following day (Friday last) again made its ap-
pearance on the market-stance of Drumlithie, where it
lay down on the very spot from which it had been driven.
Several individuals attempted, to remove the animal from
the stance, but in vain ; and after resting for a short
time, and finding there was no chance of its former com-
panions making their appearance, it deliberately got
upon its legs, and moved off in tbo direction of Allardice,
where its appearance would no doubt cause as much sa-
tisfaction, as its sudden escape had given rise to specu-
lation.—Stonehaven Journal.

By the arrival of her Majesty's ship Rosamond, el
Cowes, from Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, we
have intelligence from that colony to the 9th of Sep-
tember, which is of a most important character, as
we learn that an engagement had taken place between
Sir Harry Smith and the rebel forces, on the 29th of
August, which the following Government notice fully
describes:—

" GOVERNMENT NOTICE.
"Colonial Office, Cape Town, Sept. 9.
"His Excellency the Governor has directed the
publication of the following account of the action
which took place on the 29th ult. at Boem Plaats,
between the troops under his command and the rebel
Boers beyond the Orange River, and which ended in
the total rout and subsequent flight of the rebels.
" The notice published on the 30th ult. gave in-
formation of the passage of the Orange River, by
nearly all the troops, on the 23d of that month ;
whereupon Pretorius, the rebel chief, together with
those under his command, in number exceeding 1,000
men, had fallen backwards towards WTinburg, with
A degree of precipitation which rendered the prospect
of a general action improbable. All the troops had
arrived on the 25th, when his Excellency crossed the
river in person at their head, and, by incredible exer,
tions, the passage of the river was completed by them
on the 26th. His Excellency then moved the troops
with the greatest rapidity in the direction of Bloem
Fontein, in pursuit of the rebels, whom, on the 29th,
he found posted in a very strong position at Boem
Plaats, on the from Elleboog River. There is here
a succession of ridges of low hills, backed by a higher
range, through a pass in which the road runs.
" On a reconnoitering party, accompanied by his
Excellency, approaching the first ridge, the rebels
suddenly sprung up, and opened a heavy fire upon
them; the left of their position was, however, quickly
carried by the Rifle Brigade, 45th and 91st regiments,
the artillery (six-pounders) opening at tie same time
a very effective fire.
" The rebel's right, having been considerably
thrown forward, was gallantly attacked by the Cape
Mounted Rifles, under the orders of Lieutenant-
Colonel Buller, and driven back towards the pass, in
the direction of which the enemy were now at every
point hurrying, pursued from ridge to ridge of the
low hills by her Majesty's troops, and suffering great
loss as they retired from the guns which opened
upon them wherever they could be brought to bear.
It was afterwards found that twelve men had been
killed by one well-directed round shot. On
reaching the summit of the pass the enemy
made a bold though fruitless effort to maintain their
position ; but by a combined attack of the Cape
Mounted Rifles, with a body of the Griqua Auxiliaries,
they were at length driven from this their last posi-
tion; on abandoning which, they 'fled in the utmost
disorder, and in all directions, over the plain beyond,
leaving behind them many horses and various articles
of dress. &c.

" His Excellency continued the pursuit for several
miles, and until it was dark ; but, it being evident
that the rebels were completely broken, he halted for
the night at Calver Fontein. In the hope of over-
taking and capturing the train of waggons, he
marched next morning, the 81st, at two o'clock, for
Bethany, which he reached early in the day, and then
ascertained that the enemy's camp no longer existed,
they having fled, with their waggons, in all directions.
On the march, evidence was everywhere afforded of the
precipitate retreat of the rebels, a number of horses,
&c., having been left on the road ; 49 of the enemy
were counted dead upon the field. Their wounded
may be considered upwards of 150. Owing to the
nature of the ground, which afforded great advantage
to the rebels, the loss on the side of her Majesty's
troops is unfortunately rather heavy, as will be seen
by the following return.
" By his Excellency's command,
