Wherever we wander, the eye may behold.
The work of that wonderful monarch, " King Gold."
His sceptre is swayed, like a magical wand,
-And numberless scenes to its bidding respond ;
While cities and kingdoms, with splendour unfold,
The work of the Harlequin monarch, " King Gold."
In London's proud city, wherever we steer,
.His Majesty's triumphs and trophies appear;
His pantomime changes are daily displayed,
In temPlas, and mansions, and houses of trade ;
And nothing is purchased, and nothing is sold.
Bat speaks of the magical ruler, " Xing Gold."
See, see, what the gold•sceptered monarch has done,
At the palace-like Warehouse of MOSES and SOW ;
The Dress Mart itself, like a spacious domain,
Rises up, as a proof the Emperor's reign ;
And the dress which at MOSES and SON'S wo behold.
Is a proof what is done by the wand of " King Gold."
Many thousands their brioht golden tributes have paid
To MOSES and SON, at their Houses of trade ;
For Gold has enabled E. MOSES and SON,
To gain you more savings than any have done ;
And the prices at which all their dresses are sold,
Are bright golden proofs of the rule of " King Gold."

To carry out effectually and economically steam communication

have an increasing intercourse with India as well as with England

overland route has bees exclusively granted to this Company.
The route sanctioned by the Lords of the Admiralty for this Com-

which are, that Sydney, the metroplitan capital of the whole of the
Australasian colonies, would be brought to a certainty within 44 or

of India. The coal stations are convenient, excellent coal from the

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the use of
climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
employing them aro subjected by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. 85,
are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced is
by a large portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im-
posaihility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or duo with
the old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
nious and effective Ramoneur machine has been invented. This
invention consists of pm; brushes forming a square head, which
by means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby
creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with
universal spring . joints, , capable of turning even a right angle
and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having
also a universal spring joist, which leads the brush with certainty
past every angle, and inti every corner, cleansing its mate most
perfectly. Tile ceplibitities of this_ machine are best demonstrated
by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and
numerous ptiblle.eftices, while the patronage bestowed by a large
number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their annual con-
tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well
AS of the philanthropic views df the projectors. Detailed prospectuses
may he obtained, and a working model of the machine seen, at the
ottices of the sollcitot, X. Dolman, Esq., 38, Jermyn-street, St
James's; at Messrs. Barry and Co.'s, brokers, 7, Birchin-lane ; at
W. Heath, Esq.'s, Nag's Head-court; Gracechurch-street; and at the

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAT..—WO have reason to be-
lieve that the navy estimates for the ensuing financial
term will be considerably increased.
The Admiralty inquired yesterday how soon the
Winchester, 50, could be got ready for commission,

gued that a ship of that class is wanted for a flag or
pendant. The Winchester has a poop, and was last
employed as the flag-ship of Rear-Admiral the Hon.
J. Percy, on the Cape of Good Hope station, bat is
not in an advanced state for commission.

the purpose of paying advaxice to the newly entered

within a short distance of the Terrible, the wind
blowing half a gale at the film, the mainsail suddenly
" jibbed," and the main sheet struck two of the crew
so violently as to knock them overboard. The poor
fellows floated astern, and on of the crew of Captain
Ramsay's cutter, which was towing astern (the cap-
tain having taken a passage off to the Terrible in the
yacht), in his endeavour to save one of them fell over-
board himself. Not a moment was lost in rendering
assistance to the three unfortunate men. The pay-
barge and cutter were quickly cast adrift, and a boat
very promptly put off from the Terrible. By their
united efforts the poor fellows were rescued from a
watery grave, after being immersed full 15 minutes.
The men are all doing well.

increased in the number of felons to the full extent
the York and Stirling Castle hulks are capable of
accommodating. This does not look like an intended
abolition of the convict establishment at this port, as
reported for some time past.

PROPOSED GREAT FREE-TRADE DEMONSTRATION
IN MANCHESTER.—On Friday evening a very numerous
and highly respectable meeting was held at the late
League Rooms, Newali's• buildings, to take this subject
into consideration, when Mr. George Wilson, the chair-
man, entered into an explanation of the object proposed
by it, which, he said, was to celebrate the return of their
distinguished friends to Parliament, including Mr. Cob-
den for the West Riding, Mr. Bright for Manchester,
Mr. Henry for South Lancashire, Mr. James Heywood
for the Northern Division, Mr. Kershaw for Stockport,
Mr. Fox, Mr. George Thompson, Colonel Thompson, and
others. He expressed his concurrence in the views of
the suggesters of this demonstration, more particularly
because as yet there had been no opportunity afforded of
bringing representatives and free-traders together, and
because a great meeting hero on the eve of the ad-
journed session of Parliament would be most opportune,
believing as he did that no progress could be made in
the House. of Commons unless it was felt that their
friends there were backed by a great mass of public
opinion. A discussion followed as to whether it should
be a dinner, tea-party, or banquet, consisting merely of
confections, sandwiches, fruits, and wines. The latter
plan was adopted, Mr. Robinson reporting on behalf of
a committee, who had considered the matter, that it
would be preferable to a dinner, as occupying less time,
and enabling the business to commence at once. It was
determined to hold the dinner on the 27th instant, at the
Free-trade Hall, and to issue two thousand tickets at
3s. 6d. each to gentlemen, and five hundred for ladies,
to the galleries, at 2s. 6d. each.—Manchester Times.
EXTENSIVE FORGERIES.—At the Rochdale petty
sessions, on Wednesday last, before Messrs. William
Chadwick and Henry Kelsall, magistrates. William
