MOSES AND SON'S LEADER.
1!A • From the events of the last few days, a great moral lesson
may be drawn. Let us, as men possessing common prudence, take
warning from the distractions consequent on change, and by so
guiding our every action render it in all absolute essentials perfectly
unnecessary.
But it may be said—from the peculiar construction of the human
mind, and trom the progressive action of the times—change is abso-
lute. This we readily allow in consequences, but where fundamen-
tal principles are correct, change is needless, although we grant the
modes of carrying them out may vary.
Take, for instance, the fundamental principles 'upon which E.
MOSES and SON have established, carried on, and still maintain
their gigantic project of still becoming Universal Tailors, Hatters,
Hcsiers, Boot and Shoemakers, and General Outfitters; and when
their unbounded success is considered (a success which has had ho
limit except_ that which time itself invincibly opposes, and which
limit time itself will ultimately remove), surely, as far as E. MOSES
and SON are concel ned - change is needless. The fundamental prin-
ciples upon which E. MOSES and SON started, were to bring large
capital and sound judgment into the markets, and so to buy at the
cheapest rate; to make enormous sales and no bad debts, and so to
sell at the cheapest rates ; to employ first rate talent in all the ope-
rative departments, and se to gain and keep an immense connexion ;
and should perchance a caprice supervene, without argument, meet
it by exchanging the purchase, or should circumstances require a
return of money, without quibble or equivocation to afford a ready
compliance. Surely, then, as far as E. MOSES and SON are con-
cerned—change is needless.
As Tailors, that E. MORES and SON have carried out their prin-
ciples, the immense mass of their supporters, who are as regular in
their patronage as the seasons in their approach, amply prove.
Surely, then, with E. MOSES and SON—change is needless.
As Hatters, they have' studied every combination of use and
beauty, and rendered a good. Plat attainable by everybody. Surety,
then, as Hatters, with E. MOSES and SON—change is needless.
As Boot-makers, E. MOSES and SON have powerfully, perma-
nently, and deservedly got the lbngth of the foot of the public at
large, as they have accomplished what has never been before at-
tempted ; they have culled from England and from France the
choicest products of the trade, and by a happy union, have produced
a boot, the world's admiration and the world's envy. As Boot-
makers, then, with E. MOSES and SON—change is needless.
But all honour to the ladies and honour to those who study their
comforts, their pleasures. Who so eminently has done this as E.
MOSES and SON ? Come, then, judge for yourselves ; let there he
no vain-glorious boasting; crown them wan the wreath of Fame
mane trebly precious by your touch; see their Riding Habits, their
Shawls, their Hosiery, their Mantles, their immense stock of Furs,
the tribute of all climes ; notice that by exertion, by industry, by
skill, and by moderation in price, that they have placed them within
the reach of all; and then you will unhesitatingly declare, that, as
ladies' men so far as E. MOSES and SON are concerned—change is
needless.
Change, then, is needless, because the principles which have
' placed E. MOSES and SON in the proud, the enviable position they
occupy, shall be still continued to keep them there ; and, as it has
' been ably said, that the best sense is common sense, which the pub-
lic possesses in abundance, is it matter for surprise that it is uni-
versally proclaimed, loudly and strongly, that so far as the patron-
age extended to E. MOSES and SON—change is needless.
Shippers, captains, and the trade are respectfully informed, that
the great inconvenience of being attended to In a retail shop is for
them entirely obviated, as their immense mass of well-stored whole-
sale warehouses are entirely distinct from the retail departments,
and the wish, the will, and the means shall, as they ever were, be
still devoted to :heir interests.
Notice.—Wanted, several youths as cashiers. Apply by letter.
A handsome Almanac, for the year 1851, can be had gratis, on
application.
Notice.—The Fur and Shawl Departments are now replete with
very novelty of the season.
Observe.—Any article purchased, either ready-made or made to
measure, if not approved of, will be exchanged or the money re-
turned.
Caution.—E. Moses and Son regret having to guard the public
Against imposition, but having heard that the untradeamanlike false-
hood of being connected with them, or it is the same concern, has
been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they
beg to state they have no connexion with any other house in or out
)f London, except their own Establishments, as follows :

This work contains a plain and complete description of the ana-
tomy arid physiology of the reproductive organs, and of their relative
conditions in health and disease. The author, who has taken the
highest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
nials inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-
tated through secret practices acquired he youth, or by the excesses
of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un-
ceasing misery and regret.

No. XVIII.
THE DONCASTER SPRING MEETING.

" Throw up a straw, and you'll see which way the wind
blows."— Old Proverb.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sra,—Rather too late yesterday evening for publishing, I
discovered (what I remarked was dubious in Note No. 18 in
the morning) that the British Yeoman was not likely to
figure in the Derby Steeplechase • and: I also find that the
Tipperary Boy is by no manner of means a certain runner;
this leaves " the money" mare, Miss Collingwood, at the top
of the tree in my estimation, with Trust-me-not in the second
place, and Ben Lomond in the third; but, as this notice
will be almost too late for any useful purpose, appearing in
print, as it will do, about the same time as the race is being
run (halt-past three), I will not advert to it any further; it
may, however, be useful to some of the " late birds" in the
market, and may ease the minds of some of the highly nervous
dabblers in their uncertainties; uncertainties i'faith ! they are
the greatest we have in more than the cemmon sporting
acceptation of the word, except to certain select parties who
get up those queer caprioskies that have been so numerous
this winter, and which will eventually lead to the downfall
of steeplechasing, for the public running of the majority of
the animals engaged in these races is no criterion whatever
to judge by, money, money, and onliornone,y,„being the true
criteria! as witness the Vain Hope, and other instances too
numerous to mention ; unlike the flat-race department, where
the horses and the stakes are on the whole more valuable,
and the proprietors of the animals engaged men who boast of
a higher standard of honour; though, mark you, I do not say
