EMIGRATION AND COLONIZATION.
IMMIGRATION being much required in
AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, &c., and as the supposed
.vp)ense of an OUTFIT often prevents Individuals Emigrating, S.
SILYER and Co.. CLOTHIERS, OUTFITTERS and CON-
, have
(having a large interest to maintain in those Colonies)
lye been advised to make known that they can supply a comfort-
:le OUTFIT, including Bedding. for Male er Female Emigrants
IL.
°in 4/. (net) upwards, or less (21.) if needful ; and for Children in
Proportion, at No. 4,•BISHOPSGATE-STREET WITHIN, opposite
the London Tavern, where lists will be given on application.
S• W. S. and Co., being the makers of nearly every article in all
t
Outfits they supply, and as one of their objects is to promote
4flieration, they neither receive from Agents, or pay the too usual
c2ntrnisslon to any person introducing passengers to be fitted out,
.7 that the Passage and Outfit may he procured at the least possible
7nense ; but they will, on application, advise Passengers how to
ZbtaM the most economic passage to the Colonies. They have a
f'sPresentative in every Australian Colony, to whom they ship
k,othing monthly; thus they would forward small parcels free of
eiPer,e.
Naval and Military Officers, Midshipmen, Cadets, Civilians,
Ladies, &c., aro outfitted as heretofore, at the Cabin-Passenger Out-
fitting warehouse, Nos. 66 and 67, CORN-HILL (the Emigration
uttl.tting being exclusively at No. 4, Bishopsgate-street Within),
London, and each branch at St. GEORGE'S CRESCENT, LIVER-
POOL.

E. MOSES and SON beg to call the attention of Emigrants to
their low lists of outfits, commencing (including every necessary) at
755.,
lower if repaired. The HA can be had on application, or sent
post free.
THE POETICAL SPORTSMAN.
A. FACT FOR THE FIELD.
A number of sportsmen, like " birds of a feather,"
One day after shooting, were dining together,
And I needn't to say they were ail rather merry,
As they sat after dinner, enjoying their sherry.
Such indeed was the case, and in style did they go on.
With toasts and with anecdotes, ditties, and so on.
Now one of the company happened to be
A fittek-witted gentleman, something like me ;
And the host said he trusted it would need no persuasion,
If he asked for a song on the very occasion.
So the poet requested a writing utensil,
And at once set to work with his paper and pencil.
And in five or ten minutes, or hardly so long,
The sportsman produced
AN ORIGINAL SONG.
The warrior bold, in days of old,
Might sing of his sword and his shiald ;
But the man of the sport, would sing as ho (night,
Of the Coat that he wears in the field.

See, see. I have one, by MOSES and SON,
An out-and-ont spicy affair ;
Hurrah for the Mart, and its Shooting-coat smart,
Tes, hurrah 1 may it long flourish there.

I gaze round the room, and I see the costume
Is all made by MOSES and SON ;
Like myself, you have been, where the best Coats arc seen,
Well done, brother sportsmen, well done.

Let us all, as in one, back MOSES and SON,
And te, what their Shooting-coats are ;
And as long let us sing as our gun barrelling,
Hurrah for the Warehouse i—hurrah I
