PURCHASER'S
Pray, Messrs. MOSES, don't decline POEM.
An humble tribute, such as mine ;
Nor scorn the vain attempt I make
To follow in your poet's wake.
For though I don't profess to be
A poet of the first degree,
I think I've got sufficient tact
To tell the public how you act;
And here a compliment is due,
Namely, that all I say is true.
You, Messrs. MOSES I would choose
To occupy my humble muse ;
Nor could I think of doing less,
On looking at your
WINTER DRESS.
The last new Overcoat I bought
Is good in cloth, and firmly wrought ;
And then the style which it discloses,
Doss credit diesu Messrs. MOSES.
And this ap to all the rest,
The Coat, the Trowsers, and the W.A.
I said the instant that I bought 'em,
They're just the very thing for Autumn,
And really, Messrs. MOSES, that's
My notion of your
WINTER HATS.
And though I'm not a man that flatters,
I ofichrnto,u-vgrhahattol,islgh,aytti.itaeitrf.snot,
My lines have nothing Iludibrastic.
Y
A
These, Messrs. MOSES, are my
views,
doicisoedrrpti hatsoi
nnnol pronounce
u asndtrocyeeni firm,
and elastic,
With reference to your
BOOTS AND SHOES.
They're good in style, and make, and leather,
And, Sirs, I like them altogether
I bought a pair just six months back,
Which never yet have shown a crack.
My lady says the same of hers,
And praises up your
WINTER FURS.
She bids me say she never wore
A better Mantle, Muff, or Boa.
My lady often tells me, Sirs,
MOSES and SON'S are famous Furs.
Nor do our notions disagree
With reference to your
HOSIERY.
The quality of such a stock
Is such as nobody can mock.
I wish I'd space to call attention
More fully to the goods I mention.
I'm much surprised at what is paid
For these and all the goods in trade.
Cheapness and quality I find
At your Establishment combined.
And while this principle discloses,
I'll be
A CUSTOMER TO MOSES.

E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their Shooting-
coats, which possess a peculiar cut and style, adding much comfort
in the tit. E. M. and S. aro conyinced they will be much approved
of by the public.

INDIA.

THE WAR IN MOULTAN.
We have received from Marscillesriadvices and
papers from India in anticipation of Overland
Mail of -the 3d of October from Bombay. The
dates thus deceived, are from Calcutta to -the 23d of
September, Madras to the 25th, and Bombay, to the
3d of October.

" Frontier affairs have assumed a much more serious
asect. The intelligence
"is unsatisfactory alike re-
, spitting the operation's before Moultan and the ge-
rerai*ate of the Punjaub. Our forces in that direction
have suffered a check in consequence of the defection
tot' the auxiliary Seikh troops. Just as the operations
of General Whish's Brigade had commenced in ' the
most brilliantlmanner, Shere Singh, With the force"
of near five thousand men under ,liiS command,
went a the Dewan, evidentlyn a pre.-
upon'
arranged plot-an event which compelled 'General
Whish instantly to change his tactics, to.
raise the: siege; and having, made a retro-
grade movement, to unite his forces in an entrenched,
camp at some fifteen miles from the citadel, there to,
await in a more favourable position the junction of
the reinforcements from•Ferozepore and Sinde. Two
engineer officers had since, it appears, fallen into the:
hands of the enemy. Moolraj, bar :Shere Singh's;
defection, had augmented his • adherents to about
20,000 men,, with the probabilty ot a further acces-
sion of, nearly• as,-many more. Cfilittur Singh, the
[1.'661 leader in the ,llizareh) wait.atarlpg with
about ten thousand men to join the Dewan; and
although Ghoolab Singh had snot more positively
than heretofore gone over to the conspiracy, two of
his regiments, with stores and baggage, had left to
join the Hazareh Seikhs. At Lahore the features I
this frontier rebellion were not less pronounced,
although happily, from our excellent measures of
defence there, the circumstance occasions no ground
for ultimate apprehension as to our hold upon the
capital. We find, however, that several other Sirdars
of the Durbar had been found to be implicated, and
that in consequence. of this fact the Resident, on
receipt of the intelligence from Moultan, had at once
secured under a guard :the person of Dhuleep Singh
as a hostage, to influence those who wavered, as well
as to frustrate attempts made by Seikhs in arms to
get possession of the Maharaja's person. The Resi-
dent had also, we are told, laid hands on the famous
Koh-i-noor diamond, as a measure of similar pre-
caution.

Troops were being poured into Sinde by sea from
Bombay, to occupy the line of the middle Indus,
and to march, should their services be required,
upon the Punjaub. The Bombay force when united
would amount to about 10,000 men. Some of the
Madras regiments would reinforce the Bombay
stations, at the same time that a general advance was
preparing from the Bengal frontier. From the latter
direction a well-apportioned force, amounting to
about 20,000 men, would march upon Moultan, under
General Gilbert. No troops could, it appears, be
spared from Lahore, hut it was considered the cavalry
regiments still left in Ferozepore would be quite suf-
ficient to keep opea the line of communication with
the camp of General Whish ; in other words, to frus-
trate any rising between him and the capital. Under
these circumstances, the position of the British force
in the field, strongly entrenched, with a park of artil-
lery of 70 guns, and their flank on the river, at some
15 miles from Moultan, may be regarded as secure
under any contingency.
On the whole, happily, there appears every ground
for belief that the preparations announced from
all sides of India to retrieve the check we have de-
scribed are on a scale of magnitude probably com-
mensurate rather with the extent of past supineness
in its exaggerated reaction than the actual degree of
danger. Such at least is the opinion of parties who
from the first were urgent for the adoption of active
measures, and who at present are the least alarmed
by the ultimate features the outbreak has assumed
or inclined to doubt of a speedy and successful ter-
mination. Moultan would now be attacked by sepa-
rate armies from the south and from the north, when,
it has been affirmed, mere detachments in the
earlier months would have sufficed, but it is added
that there now appears every probability that long
before the Bombay army shall have reached the seat
of war the few regiments that have already arrived
without orders from head-quarters—namely, the
Rifle Brigade from Sinde, and the European cavalry
from Ferozepore, will supply what is wanting to our
troops who are in presence of the enemy, and that
General Whish, with a body of picked infantry, Eu-
ropean and native, and some three thousand cavalry
(an arm hitherto deficient), which will have reached
him, with a park of field and siege artil-
lery, and under the prestige of recent success, will
certainly reap the honours of the campaign, should
the temerity of the Dewan, or the precipitancy of
his forces tempt them, as is not unlikely, to an at-
tack. This opinion seems borne out by other de-
tails which have reached us as to the recent conduct
of our troops, who, in the siege operations, stormed
the outworks, forestalling the work of regular ap-
proaches, and up to the hour when breaching distance
had thereby been attained—an hour marked by the
instant defection of the Seikh Chief—every rencontre,
without exception, told the same lesson of superiority
in strategy as in conflict that Edwardes and his Pa-
thans before taught the insurgents under earlier and
still more desperate circumstances.

The following officers had fallen in the siege ope-
rations during an attack on an outpost unrivalled
for desperate gallantry in the an
nalsof the army,
namely, Colonel Pattoun, Major Montizambert,
Quartermaster Taylor, Lieutenant Cubitt, ant En-
sign Lloyd.
Ths following casualties by death in the armies of
India are reported since the departure of the mail on
the 15th of September:—
Her Majesty's Troops—Colonel Pattoun and Quarter-
master Taylor, 32d Foot, and Major Montizambert, 10th
Foot, killed in action before Moultan, on the 12th Sept.

Simla, on the 3d of September; Lieutenant Cubitt, 49th,

Regiment, at Lahore, on the 4th September; Major C.
W. Cowley, invalids, at Deyrah, on the 13th September.
Brevet-Major W. Struthers, 14th Regiment, at Berham!
poor, on the 10th of September.
India Navy—Commander H. C. Boulderson, at Madras,
on the Bth of September.

(From the Overland Bombay Times of Oct. 3.)
Summany.—Our latest news from Mouhail has
reached us through Sinde, and extends to the 18th.
As our batteries were on the 14th September believed
to have been in readiness to batter in breach, Shere
Singh, with 4,000 Seikhs, deserted us, and went over
to the enemy. The siege was next day raised, our
guns withdrawn from the trenches, and our troops
marched back to an encampment six miles from the
town. On the 17th we marched to a post eighteen
v
miles in the direction of Bahawulpor,e, leaving most of
a month s proisions, with
our ammunition, and nearly
the material prepared for the siege, behind us. Our
last news extended to the 24th of August. At this
time all the troops, save some companiesi
of her Ma-
jesty's 32d and the train, had arrived n camp.
The
former joined shortly afterwards,
s, the latter on the 4th
of September. On the sth it was intimated that
twenty-four hours would be allowed for those to
retire who wished to quit the town. On the 6th the
mortar batteries began to fire. It was at first pro-
posed to attempt the town by assault. The guns
were first to clear the suburbs, then to advance
within 600 yards of the walls: It was suspected that
in twenty-four hours a practicable breach would be
effected. After the storming party had been told off
it was discovered that the suburbs were very strong
and well defended, and regular approaches were next
determined on. The trenches were begun to be
opened on the 7th, and from this till the 9th a suc-
cession of severe skirmishes ensued, in which we
were successful. On the morning of this day we
were compelled to retire with severe loss from a
strong post we had endeavoured to capture. Fur-
ther skirmishing ensued, and on the morning of the
12th a strong party was directed to capture the
stronghold before which we bad formerly been foiled,
