The Report entered into further details, and finished by stating
that the Directors felt it unnecessary to dwell further upon the items
of the year's account, as the quinquennial valuation to be made in
June next was so near.
The Report was unanimously adopted, and some routine business
having been disposed of, the thanks of the meeting were very
cordially voted to the Chairman, Directors, and endears of the Com-
pany—when the meeting separated.
The Premiums required by this Company are very moderate, and
moreover are accurately adjusted.

THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY SCENE
IN FRANCE.

The visit of the market women and mechanics of Paris to the
President of France the day after he laid the foundation stone of the
market was one of the most remarkable episodes in Louis Napoleon's
life, so far as it has yet progressed. There numerous classes were,
by all accounts, admirably dressed. They did great credit to their
humble calling, but the climax was the deputing of the youngest
and fairest of their body, by the female portion, to salute the Presi-
dent in the name of the whole, and the grateful reception of the
blushing girl by the gallant Louis Napoleon. How many of the
ladies' shawls and cloaks, and how many of the mechanics' dresses,
were had of E. MOSES and SON, can only be conjectured. All the
-papers concur in the fact that the whole were well dressed, from
which it may be assumed that a great many had taken advantage of
their trip to London, and purchased at the Monarch Mart, where at
this moment, notwithstanding the great daily demand, the reple-
nished stock exceeds in quantity, variety, neatness, elegance, novelty,
workmanship, and quality of material, the clothing of any other
concern in the known world ; the variety of outer coats exeeee.s
belief, and all the winter wants are anticipated by a supply of every-
thing that the approaching season requires. Messrs. E. MOSES and
SON earnestly invite the public to inspect their stock at the Monarch
Mart, or at their noble West-End Establishment in New Oxford-
street, for no description can do justice to the subject.
