toriaheld on TrZSDAY, the 21st
dayoof of the United
eßmbEerN 8

Resolved unanimously,

That the thanks of this dOurt be presented to the Bight Honour-
able John Kinnersley Hooper, late Lord Mayor, for the zeal and
ability with which he has discharged all the arduous and important
duties of his high office during the past eventful year; for his patient,
punctual, and considerate administration of justice, in the increased
number of cases requiring his adjudication, and particularly for the
humanity displayed in his timely assistance afforded to a numerous
body of deserving persons arriving in a state of destitution from
France.

And this Court desire in an especial manner to record their liveliest
satisfaction at the calm decision and prudent firmness which marked
his conduct on that memorable occasion, when the peace of the me-
tropolis was threatened in a manner which excited amongst all
classes of society a feeling of deep anxiety aad alarm; and while it
must ever 1.. e a source of grateful recolle,;tion that the tranquillity of
this city was preserved by the spontaneous loyalty of many thou-
sands of the citizens, who thus enabled the municipal authorities to
vindicate the supremacy of the law, without the intervention of mi-
litary force, the members of this Court feel it due to attribute much
of that happy result to the arrangements wisely formed and judi-
ciously executed by the late Lord Mayor, in concert with the Go-
vernment and with his brother magistrates.
This Court have also to acknowledge the cordial and courteous
hospitality, the liberal support of numerous charities, and the urba-
nity, discrimination, and impartiality which. ,bas
characterised the
past Mayoralty ; and they congratulate the2ite Lord Mayor on his
retirement from office, with the well-merited APProbatienof his fel-
low-citizens, and with the esteem of his condaalea.-of-curen by his
honourable character and kindly bearing and their re-
spect increased by his public services.

E MODEL GENTLEMAN

The only thought that enters in ra" noddle"
In picturing a gentlemanly model
Is simply dress—for rank and education
Are matters for distinct consideration,
A model gentleman, we must confess,
Is one who clothes himself in

MODEL DRESS.
A model gentleman will never go
To any Mart but MOSES'—Oh ! dear, no 1
For where could he obtain attire so smart
As that display'd at MOSES' model Mart.
'Twould matter not wherever he might toddle,
One thing is clear—he'd never be a model—
♦ model gentleman, besides all that,
Would go to MOSES for

"A MODEL 'HAT."
Such Model Hats as these of MOSES' are
Have spread their "stylish character" afar,
And whosoever wears mot oil his noddle
One from this stook must prove himself no model.
A model gentlemae will always choose
MOSES' famed mart for

MODEL BOOTS 11rD SHOES.
A gentleman would never be complete
Unless he made two models of his feet ;
Which cannot be effected if he hum
Any but those which MOSES' house supplies.
These are the Boots and Shoes in which to toddle,
And he who wears them not, is not a model,
A model gentleman you 'll never see
In any thing but
MODEL HOSIERY,
Ills shirts and handkerchiefs, his gloves and hose
Will all be found in keeping with his clothes,
And if you asked if MOSES' were the model,
You may depend he would'nt shake his noddle.
A model gentleman would never do
Unless his lady were a model too--
as .
rut it must be his choice, as well
M
To favour MOSES' MODEL hers
art for
PITRS
ODEL .
Nor would he be pronounced a molly-coddle
In trying thus to make his spouse a model.
A model gentleman at once would know
The mart to which his lady ought to g• ;
MOSES and SON'S prim
A that which model e shop he'd name to her,
As t ladies should prefer.
Andl thus I've giv'M as simply as I can,
The outlines of a Model Gentleman.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Moak Bar'
York,

"Ti Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th Jane, 1847.
" Sts,—llaving suffered most drealfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of tits gout, esat rsastvhtg no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Itheumatle Pills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbews were
very much swollen and inflamed: I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awake in
the morning comparatively free from pain ; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life ; they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and tr'ey all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful mediciae, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, sir, yours respectfully.
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects •f this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief. _

They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part. _ _ . . . .

M One halt the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret en-
coutprosing 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 fore an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er

The Parent, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast

which, for want of earofhl investigation of its real cause, has been

be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young per-

L 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 nct only stronger than avarice,
but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from
its intuence, er can avoid its sway; and business, pleasure, philo-
sophy, and divinity Itself become neglected under the enthralling
power of 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 of 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, er 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 ! Loving and beloved, he 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
unalloyed happiness. The subject is interesting, and deserves the
attention of all. These desirous of Investigating it will find the
fullest and most satisfactory information in the little work entitled
SELF-PRESERVATION,
illustrated by forty coloured engravings on the anatomy, physiology,
and diseases of the reproductive organs ; with practical observa-
ions en the secret infirmities of youth and maturity, resulting from
!military habits, excesses, or infection.

This treatise is the result of a long course of study in a peculiar and

REVIEW OF TEE WORK.
La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and ilatnrity.—" There are
scenes is the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these tke result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into whick such scenes must plunge him ! In the hook before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and iestruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mud not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of 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 strikintly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

Ad-

Sir,—Deeming it of importance that my Lords of the
Admiralty should be made acquainted, with as little
delay as possible, of the proceedings of her Majesty's
sloop under my command, on the Bth inst., I have the
honour to enclose duplicates of my communications to
the commander-in-chief, and to request that you will be
pleased to lay the same before their Lordships.
I have, &c.,

loop,
1P Bo4lB.yphemus,
Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that on the 7th
instant I received a communication from Mr. Glasgow,
merchant, of this place, enclosing a letter from Mr. J.
Forster, late master of the brig Three Sisters, of Liver-
pool, copies of which I herewith inclose.
We started the same eveaing to the Rif coast, and at
daybreak ran into Al Khoyamich Bay, and coasted from
thence close to the shore, towards Cape Tres Forcas, for
the purpose of discovering the brig, if they should have
taken her to the westward.

At eleven A.M. of the Bth, on opening the point of
Calla Tramontana, we discovered her anchored close to
the shore, in a small bay, partly surrounded by an am-
phitheatre of precipices, high rocks, and ravines, all of
which places were crowded with men, armed with long
muskets, evidently for the purpose of protecting the
brig, which lay considerably within musket shot range.
Their boats, seven in number, were hauled up on the
beach and in the mouths of caverns, with a strong party
of armed men lying under cover for the protection of
part of the cargo, which they had landed. Their whole
force appeared to consist of at least 500 men. On ap-
proaching close to the brig they opened a Ire of mus-
ketry from all points, which we immediately returned
with grape, cannister, and musketry, doubtless with very
good effect, as a very large number of them began flying
about in all directions, and taking up more secure posi-
tions. Having dislodged them from the beach we pro-
ceeded to take the vessel in tow, which service was per-
formed by Lieutenant Gardner, who volunteered to take
the cutter, with a hawser, and weigh the brig's anchor.
Just at this time a fire was opened from a gun, supposed
to be a six or nine-pounder, and as, unavoidably, our
stern was towards the nearest point of low rocks, and,
therefore, could make no return, it encouraged them to
approach us quite close, and open a well-directed firs of
musketry, which, I regret to say, severely wounded Lieu-
tenant Wasey and slightly two seamen on board the
ship, and one seaman severely in the cutter.
It was my intention to have landed and burnt the
boats, but from the secure, position taken up by so nume-
rous a body of well-armed men, I deemed it very impru-
dent to risk so severe a loss as muss inevitably have
taken place, particularly as the fire from cur great guns
had rendered them unserviceable. Having now taken
the brig in tow we steamed to sea.
From the scattered position taken up by the pirates,
it would be impossible for me to estimate their loss; but
from the accuracy of our fire, and many men having
been observed to fall, and some carried away, as we
steamed out of the bay, there is little doubt , but it must
have been very severe.
In performing this service, it would be invidious in
me to point out any individual, where every one behaved
so well; but I cannot omit to bring to your notice the
zeal displayed by Mr. Gardner, first lieutenant, who vo-
lumeered to board the brig under so. severe a fire, and
who has at all times shown the 8111110 anxiety to assist in
forwarding the service; also the able support I received
from Lieut. Wasey, in command of the foremost gun, and
the coolness and skill displayed by Mr. Taylor, the
master, in conducting the ship in so intricate a place.
I beg to return my thanks to Mr. F. Gilbert, pay-
master and purser, who volunteered to take command of
the small arm men.

Having placed Mr. Kirkham, master's assistant, on
board the prize, with six men, I proceeded to Gibraltar,
where I arrived this day.
As a steamer is about to start for England, I have
thought it requisite to forward a duplicate of this com-
munication to the Secretary of the Admiralty.

MESSRS. GLASGOW AND CO.

Gentlemen,—lt is with extreme regret that I have to
announce the capture of the brig Three Sisters, by the
Moorish pirates, off Cape Tres Forces, on tlae 2d inst.
When I left Gibraltar on the 31st of October, I car-
ried a fair wind until midnight ; it then fell very light,
attended with calms, until eight o'clock the following
morning, when a light breeze sprung up from the east-
ward. I then stood to the south-east, and finding that I
was under the influence of a strong southerly current, I
stood to the northward at six P.M. On the Ist it fell
calm, which continued. At ten A.m. on the 2d, I observed
several boats pulling off from the shore, which caused my
crew to be greatly alarmed ; however, I waited until I
could make out that they were nothing else than pirates,
each boat pulling from 12 to 14 oars, with an additional
lot standing in midships, with their long muskets, all
ready for action; they also had large guns on their gun-
wales; after witnessing all the formidable weapons, I
thought it was high time to look for the preservation of
our own lives, accordingly I ordered the small boat to
be got out, in order to keep without the reach of their
guns, but, to my astonishment, no sooner had we put off
from the ship than a volley of shot came tumbling about
the boat, but fortunately they all fell a few yards short;
and, I am confident, had I remained five minutes longer,
there would be no person to tell the tale. However, we
saw six of them abreast of the ship, keeping up their
firing ut the ship at a distance, leaving one to chase the
boat, but fortunately he gave up the chase in about ten
minutes; he then returned to his companions, and as-
sisted them in towing the vessel within their own domi-
nions. We then made the best of our way across to-
wards the Spanish coast, and, thanks to Providence, we
were picked up by the brig Dawn, at midnight, other-
wise the boat must have been swamped before morning,
owing to her being so deep with all the ship's company
and sundries.

I beg you will transmit this information to the autho-
rities, and probably they will look after the vessel.
I remain, &e.,

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 19 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of
3L 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.63; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.50, it follows thut gold is 0.51 per cent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By the last advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at
the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lop. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.11,
it follows that gold is 0.17 per cent, dearer in London
than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New
York on London is 1084 per cent., and the par of ex-
change between England and America being 109 23-40
per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.83 per cent.
against England; but the quoted exchange at New York
being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be
deducted from the above difference.
[ADTERTISIIMRNT.3—HoIIoway's Pills a Superior
Remedy for Affections of the Chest and Diseases of the
Lungs.—Bridges M'Bride a respectable young woman
residing at Carrigart, Ireland, was afflicted with a severe
affection of the chest from which cause her breathing
and articulation had become so extremely difficult, that
the general opinion even of medical men was, that the
Lungs were diseased: failing to obtain relief from other
sources, she commenced taking Holloway's Pills, and so
rapid has been her recovery by the use of this invaluable
medicine, that it appears quite miraculous. These Pills
are eqally efficacious in curing old coughs, recent oolds,
asthrn as,,sore throats and all puhnonic disorders. Sold by
all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establishment,

ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR BRIDGEND.—A most
cowardly and ruffianly attempt was made on Saturday
night week, by two men, named Daniel Davies and Tho-
mas Richards, on the person of Mr. Evan Gibbon,
farmer, of Langan. The parties had met at a public-
house at Troes, and Mr. Gibbon was returning home,
when he was shot at on the road, and severely wounded
in the head and shoulder by large shot. The above-
named men are in custody, and stand committed for trial
at the ensuing assizes. The shot is stated to have been
fired by Daniel Davies, who is stated to have conceived
an illicit affection for the prosecutor's spouse, who is by
many years his junior. Mr. Gibbon was able to give his
evidence on Saturday before the magistrates at Brldgend.
