THE ADVENT OF INDUSTRY, 1851.
How few of the vis tors of the Great Industrial Exhibition

produce the mineral, mechanical, and artistical wonders that now

works upon which their whole energies have been expended for
months perhaps their whole means exhausted 1 The Crystal
Palace contains the result of immense talent and industry; but the
wonders there accumulated are also theTesul of caes and anxieties
unparalleled in the history of art, manufatcts ures,r and commerce.
Ought it not to teach our wealthy classes an important lesson ? Art,
science, and manufactures, unpatronised and unprotected, would
Progress but slowly, if at all ; but when the nobility and gentry see
at one view the wonders that can be achieved under the fostering
care of those who can afford it, there is some hope that the disposi-
tion to encourage the ingenuity .and perseverance of mankind may
be universally promoted by this gigantic example of what can be
achieved. He who patronises industry is a public benefactor. It
was this consideration that induced Messrs. E. MOSES and SON to
enter at once upon a system which enabled them to employ hun-
dreds of excellent industrious workmen where ethers would only
employ, tens. Is must be obvious to all reasoning men that under
the old system of large profits he who looks only to himself might
clear as much out of ten men's labour as Messrs. E. MOSES and SON
can, with their limited profits, out of the labour of a hundred. But
they have the satisfaction to know that the more capital they can
use, and the less profit they exact, the more they can patronise the
industry of the country, by finding men constant work and instant
payment for their labour, while by these means they produce an
article at nearly half the usual, and far better at that price, than has
ever been produced before. But the consequence of employing a
large capital and numbers of people does not end in the mere fact of
low prices; .or these very low prices for good clothing enable thou-
sands to dress respectably who could not do so were the old prices
prevailing. Until Messrs. E. MOSES and SON established their
system of trading it was impossible td obtain good cheap clothing ;
now the poorest of the labouring classes can dress in strung and good
clothing accordlnt to their circumstances. All classes Gen dress
well—all classes ought to dress well. It 3d worth the consideration
of the wealthy, whether they ought not to save half the cost of their
awn dress and their servants' livery, if it were only for the oppor-
tunity of dispensing the amount in benevolence. Messrs. E. MOSES
ar.d SON invite all classes to see their enormous STOCK of DRESS,
appropriate for everybody. Buy or nut buy, no matter, when they
have seen they will bePeve in the beauty and extent or a stock and
an establhstment to which it is difficult, if not impossible, to do
justice by description.

The Danish man-of-war brig, of 16 guns—the Orven,
Captain Van Dockun, arrived at Spithead on Tuesday
evening. She saluted the garrison with 21 guns, and
the flag of Admiral Civet with 17, which were duly re-
turned by the Platform Battery and the Victory. The
Orven is from Copenhagen, bound for St. Thomas's, in
the West Indies; she has damaged the pintless of her
rudder, and was to go into harbour yesterday evening to
be docked.
The Turkish frigate has got her topmasts on deck and
is stripping her lower masts. We understand that she
has sent ten men to the fliplar Hospital, the cold north-
east wind not agreeing with the crew.
PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.—Her Majesty's yacht

ordered to proceed on the recruiting service, the former '
to Macclesfield, Cheshire, and the latter to Darlington,

WooLwicti, MAY 14.—The Furious, 16, paddle-wheel
steam-sloop, was tried at her moorings yesterday, and
when coaled will proceed down the river on further trial,
and if found in good working order, will be taken round
to Portsmouth by Lieutenant Robertson, of the steam
department, afloat here, to be fitted for sea.
The Alegmra, 10, iron screw steam-frigate, of 350-
horse power, is to be commissioned immediately at
Sheerness to convey troops to the Cape of Good Hope,
and notices have been put up at the dockyard-gate, at
Woolwich, for:stokers to,sery ein that vessel. Several ap-
pointments from the Fisgard have been made to the
Megzra, although they have not as yet been officially
announced. The troops expected to proceed in her
to the Cape are the 2d, or Queen's Royal Regiment of
Foot, and Captain Faddy's compsny, 6th battalion, of
the Royal Artillery. Captain Faddy, with a number of
officers of the Royal Artillery, attended at the pond in
the Repository-grounds yesterday afternoon to teat an
India-rubber boat, made for the Gallant Officer by Mr.
Cording, to enable the officers or men to cross the rivers
in South Africa. The boat weighed only 341b5., and was
found not only capable of carrying persons, but qn
weights being put on board its buoyancy was sufficient
to sustain 3501 b., which will render it available far con-
veying dismounted howitzers across rivers—an object of
great importance in the Kafir coantry.—lt is the gene-
ral impression in military circles that a light cavalry
regiment will be sent out shortly to the Cape station.
It is not perhaps generally known that the men who
deserted from the Cape Mounted Rifles have relapsed
from Christianity in a body and returned to their origi-
nal Paganism, the labours of the missionaries having
been lost upon them, and the knowledge they have
acquired of the use of arms but rendered them more
dangerous enemiesttban they otherwise would have been.

CALEDONIAN AND DUNBARTONSHIRE.—A special
meeting ot the shareholders of this company was held iu
the Qieen's Hotel, Glasgow, on Monday, to consider a
proposal from the present lessees of the line for the re-
nunciation of the agreement. A report trom the direc-
tors was read, which stated that they had received a pro-
posal from the Messrs. Burns, the lessees of the line, to
renounce the working agreement. The reasons that had
induced them to do so were, that they had parted with
all their river steamers, and ceased to be connected with
the %Vest Highland trade. The lessees offt-red to give
8001 in addition to the rent up to the 15th, and to hand
over to the company all the extra plant they had pro-
cured, which was valued at 2371. The report was una-
nimously recommended the acceptance ot the proposal;
the more so as the lessees had power, by the agreement,
to give it up in January, 1852. After some questions as
to the future arrangements, which the chairman stated
were in all respects to be the same as the Messrs.
Burns would leave them, with the exception of the su-
perintendent, who, the directors considered, should be
one of their own body, and resident near the line, the
report was agreed to.
