SMASO,NABL,E PRESENTS.
At this festive periol of th year, when friends and lovers as-
semble at the social board, or join in the mazes of the dance, a more
than usual anxiety is created for Personal 'Attraction, and the fol-
lowing unrivalled discoveries for the Toilet are called into increased
requisition, namely—
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL, •

for creating and sustaining a, luxuriant head of hair ;
ROWLANDS' KALYDOR,

for rendering the skin soft, fair, and blooming; and
ROWLANDS' ODONTO, OR PIURI, DENTIFRICE,

for imparting a pearl like whitcnes4 to the Teeth.
The patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, anti the high appre-
ciation by rank and fashion, with the well-known infallible efficacy
of these; &ratio, give them a celebrity unparalleled, and render them
a peculiarly Elegant and Seasonable Present.
WO Beware of Spurious Imitations. The only genuine of each
bears the name of " ito viTLANDS" " preceding that of the article on
the wrapper or label. Sold by them at 20, Hatton-garden, London,
and by Chemists and Perfumers. .

IVIEDICA.L CiIARITIES in IRELAND.
The Members of the British College of Health, on behalf of
Hygetsts, hereby protect against any portion of the public money
being applied to the support of Medical Charities. If the people have
lost their faith in doctors and their physic, it would be monstrous thus
to saddle them on the country. The next thing might be a tax for
the support of doctors. Ohl Ohl
British College of Health, New-road, London,
January 16, 1851.

FIFTY AND 'FIFTY-ONE.
The Nineteenth Century is now equally divided. The last
day of the first Fifty years has been rung out, and the first day of
the succeeding Fifty has been rung in. The • departure of one
year, and the advent of another, are ever regarded with feelings of
Interest ; and the commencement of a new half century is looked
upon as an epocha in the history of the world.
the statesman, the historian, the philosopher, and the moralist,
are equally alive to the importance and interest attaching to such a
conjuncture.
The dawning of the present year is viewed with unusual interest,
not merely because it is the initial year of a new half century, but,
likewise, because it is to be distinguished by one of the most extra-
ordinary events (if not the most extraordinary) that has ever
transpired. •
It will not be expected that MOSES and SON will remain silent
at a moment like the present; More especially when it is recollected
that the Proprietors make a practice at this season of acknowledg-
ing past obligations in trade, and soliciting future favours with are •
assurance of tuture endeavours. -
It mast be evident to everybody,lhat ever since E. MOSES and
SON commenced, there has been a certain, unflactuating progres-
sion in their trade. Like as the quickeilver of the thermometer rises
in its glass, as the day opens and warms, has the trade of E. MOSES
and SON risen year after year beneath the warns support of an ap-
proving Public.
•
That such a simile is not a mere hyperbole, the discerning Public
have abundont proof—proof too clear and r conclusive to, be disputed
by any candid observer.
The Parent Speculation of E. MOSES and SON in the City has
spread and spread year after year, till it has become the most gigan-
tic trading house in the world.
Again, so great has ,heen the demand for the advantages held o'it
by the proprietors, that two important towns in Yorkshire (Brad-
ford and Sheffield) have been made the scenes of atill further opera-
tions; for the success attending which, E. S.:OcIES and SON have
had to make•distinct and special acknowledgments in the annual ad-
dresses of previous years:
Thus far it is evident that each succeeding year has surpassed its
predecessor in the public support' realized by the Proprietors. Nor
can lessbe, with truth, asserted of the year which has just expired.
Eighteen Hundred and Fifty has been distinguished by the opening
of a vast West-end Branch Dress Mart, the opening of which was
hinted at in the annual address of last year.
To each of the Establishments thus referred to. the year Eighteen
Hundred and Fifty has been a year, of undoubted prosperity ; prospe-
rity of which the proprietors find it difficult to convey an adequate
idea, and prosperity for which they flnd it utterly impossible to make
anttdequate return in the present circular. There Is one satisfac-
tion, however, namely—that were the Proprietors to occupy whole
co Limns of thd Public prints in expressing the sincerity of their ac-
knowledgments, the public would consider their professions as
utterly valueless, were their acknowledgments unaccompanied by,
corroborative merits It is but reasonable to conclude that an im-
partial and enlightened public would not have supported E. MOSES
and SON to the extent which they have done, were there not some
sterling inducements held out by the Proprietors.
It is admitted ottall hands, that the secret 'of the success which.
E. MOSES and SON have realised,. lies 'in the excellence and ele-
gance of their attire, coupled with the exceedingly moderate prices
at which the articles are sold. •
That such advantages shall be extended in the year 1851, the
public need not question. That Grand Exhibition, which the Ame-
rican President has denominated " The World's Fair," has not been
overlooked by E. MOSES and SON.
It is difficult to conceive what will .be the result of such en Exhi-
bition ; but • hatever that result may be, E. MOSES and SON are
bent on distinguishing themselves in no ordinary manner. The pre-
sent year has not come upon the proprietors unawares. From the
very moment that her Majesty's Royal Consort gave birth to his
comprehensive conception, E. MOSES and SON. have been on the
alert in preparing a stock of attire of every description, snch as no
preceding year has w itnessed. For immensity of stock, variety of
assortment, quality' and beauty of cloth, novelty and elegance of
' fashion, and surprising ch apness, E. MOSES and SON will be found
to be unequalled.
The Proprietors would here intimate, that 'he moment the Royal
Commissioned commenced its operations, or as soon as the Great Ex-
hitsition was first mentioned, they put themselves in communication
with the principal manuatcturers in woollen and other fabrics, and
that they have succeeded, by means of awarding liberal prizes, its
securing some of the most tasty and novel materials for gentlemen's
dress, which will be ready • for exhibition at the commencement of
I the ensuing Spring Season.
By thus extending the advantages of their trade, the Proprietors
intend to recompense° a liberal public, and secure a. continuance of
support, so abundantly realised a' present.
As the West-end dtranch Establishment was' a project of the past
year, E. MOSES arid SON are indaced to make a special allusion to
it. The support which this speculation hat received, far, im-
measurably far, exceeds even what the Proprietors themselves had
'anticipated ; such triumphant support has. here been achieved by E.
special prooft
the
MOSES and SON, as fully convinces them that this opening was
none other than a step in the right direction.
Heartily
and
so N
would
acknowledgingconclude, this
hosing
that, by oifn success,
industry
r of nMOSESaIIon nations.
the amity of all nations will be happily promoted in the year 1851.

hood of being connected with them, or it is the same concern, has

Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.)
The leading; principles of this Office ars —Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class orris'—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the sates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual lo=ses of the
different Esta.bllshed Companies have not been proportionate to, the
amount of annual Premiums received by, each .
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is estaMished.
The trite_ rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only he up-
;moaned through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted.'n, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periollcallylo
the Insured will determine the' true Premium equitably payable tas
security against loss for so great a calamity as lire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this enestion, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Claeslfca-
tion and Aver tge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anah sic of its ewn
experience, from lime to ti e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices:
With this view an annual inrestlgalon will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent, of the nett
excess will be m ide to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force fbr three years.

Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

Horsford said the defeniant was well known at that

A " jolly young waterman," who gave his name
Thomas Edward Collins, was brought before Mr. Brough-
ton, charged with having been found concealed in the
coal cellar at the residence of Miss Bessie Mortlock, 6,
Tevrnshend-road, St. John's-wood, for an unlawful pur-
_
mpg _xortlock deposed that on the same morning,
hetviiiii twelve and one o'clock, as she was about to re-
tire to bed, having just quitted her drawing-room, she
heard some one cough in the lower part of the house,
and on her asking her maid servant if there was any one
below, she replied, " No, Ma'am, the noise must have
come from somebody in the street." She (Miss Mort-
lock) being possessed of a tolerable amount of courage,
took a candle with her and went down stairs alone,
when, after exploring the kitchen and other places, she
at length made her way to the coal cellar, the door of
which was bolted on the outside; she opened it, and
there beheld the prisoner seated upon a hamper among
the coals; she immediately cave a loud scream, which
brought down her sister and the servant, the latter of
whom denied all knowledge of the intruder.
Mr. 13nounToN—The door was bolted on the outside,
was it? Miss Mortlock—lt was, Sir, and that of course
convinces me that my servant must have secreted him.
Norman, 62 S, stated that having been called in he
took the prisoner into custody, and on asking him what
he did there, and whence he came, he refuse to give any
answer.

Mr. BROUGHTON—Did the maid servant say any-
thing? Witnew:—Nething, Sir, at that time, but she
ruated towards the prisoner, and threw both her arms
round his neck, ord fainted. She soon revived, but it
,LN some time h+ fore I could remove her, so tightly did
she clIK: to him. Ho offered considerable resistance to
me, and it was with much difficulty that I succeeded in
gett:ug him to the station•house. The young woman fol-
lowed us there, and, while the . charge was boing en-
tered, she foliated again.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Was the prisoner drunk or sober?
Witness—He was quite sober, Sir.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Is the servant present? 'Witness—
She is, Sir.

Caroline Thornton, a young. W 01119.11 about 28, wan de.
,iced to stand up in the box, which, with evident reluct.
VICO, the did.

Mr. BROUGHTON-110W long ha's) you known the
uti7oner? Witness—Five or six years.
Mr. fiIIOtTGEITCN—HOW came ho in your mistres376
hoast-.,?—Witness (after much hesitation)—l had been
out, u.nd, meeting him in the road, we weiked a short
c.'i,tance•together. He came home with md, and I let
him in, because I thought ho was tired and 'required a
little rest..

Mr. BaoucuTutc—And he was going to sleep with
you, was he not? Witness—Oh dear, no! Nothing of
the sort was intended, I assure you.
Mr. BROUGHTON—Are you going to be married to
him? Witness—l can't say.—(Laughter.)
The prisoner `skid that the Witness's story was correct,
and that she locked him in the coal-hole when she
thought she heard her.mistress coming down stairs.
Mr. BROHGHTON remarked that it was a most unfor-
tunate thing for him, under the circumstances, to have
been troubled with a:cough while in the cellar, but as there
was no reason to suppose that he intended to commit a
robbery, he should fine him for resisting the officer, and
for that he Tram pay 20s.
His " lady fair" speedily released him.
LAMBETH.

John Simpson and Frederick Kennester, the latter a
burglar and thief, and the former the associate of thieves,
were placed ut the bar, before Mr. Elliott, on a charge
of attempting to break into Hercules-hall, tho residence
of Mr. Brookes, a starch manufacturer.

The prisoners were further charged with breaking into
the premises of Messrs. Buck and Wootton, stationers in
Mount•street, Lambeth, on Monday morning last, but
having been detected they made a hasty retreat, taking
only a sixpence belonging to one of the female servants.

From the evidence it appeared that at about half-past
three o'clock on that morning Mr. Brookes was awoke
by Mrs. Brookes, who had heard a noise down stairs,
and who mentioned her suspicions that there were
thieves on the premises. On getting out of bed and
going to the window Mr. Brookes saw two men on the
back lawn, one of whom was in the act of opening the
back dravviug-room window. He (Mr. Brookes) instantly
gave an alarm, upon which both the men ran across the
lawn, and, it being a bright moonlight morning, he ob-
served the figures of both men, and they corresponded in
every respect with those of the. prisoners. Mr. Flex-
more, the clown at the Princess's Theatre, and who is
neat-door neighbour to Mr.Brookes, on hearingthe alarm
of" Thieves ! ' and " Police!" instantly sprang a rattle,
and in'a very few minutes aeveral constables were on
the spot. On their arrival they saw the prisoner Simp-
son descend by a ladder from the first. floor of a house in
the course of erection in York-place' adjoining the pre-
mises' of the prosecutor, and ou searching the cellar of
the building the officers found the other prisoner, Ken-
nester, huddled up among some shavingr, with a dark -
lantern close to him, and some inciter matches on his
person.
Mr. Buck, of the firm of Buck and Wootton, 33,
Mount-street, stationers. and also the keepers of the
post-office and money-order-office, stated, that on Mon-
day morning flint the premises of himself and partner
were burglarious!), entered by the thieves forcing, open
a back doer. Having to force a second door before they
conid reach that per; of the premises v?hich it was their
object to arrive at, and which had evidently offered con
siderable resistance, they made auflialent noise to dia.
turb E 0111,) members of the family, and had it not been
for the extreme daikuess at the time, they would have
in their retreat received that which they little calculated
on. In the morning, after the prisoners had been secured,
and while at the station-house, Sergeant Guff brought
the boots of both to his (Mr. Buck's) house. and on com-
paring them with the footmarks left in his garden, and
the garden of his neighbour, Mr. Forster, they fitted so
exactly that he had no doubt whatever the prisoners
were two out of three persona who had burglariously
entered his tneLnises. Mr. Buck added that in the month
of May, 1849, his premises had been entered by thieves,
who carried away rostage stamp,,, cash, and other pro-
p!rty to the amount of over 2001., and since that time
he lied kept a blunderbuss and other firearms foaled in
the house, and had it not been for the extreme darkness
of the morning, as he had before stated, the men wield
have received the contents of some of them.

At the station-house the prisoners were placed in
separate cells, and in the course of the morning
Ken-
neo--r was heard to ask Simpson if they (the police)
bad taken anything from him, and he replied that they
hail taken his boots. Keunester said ;hat they had
taken his also, and that it was a " bad job."
Evidence was given of the fact of the prisontr
tee having been repeatedly in custody, and convicted of
the most desperate robberies. It wa4 also said CI it on
one occasion he and Wood, the young fellow who was
committed from this court on the day before for the mur-
derous assault on Mr. Wigg, were both convicted of an
attempt to break into a dwelling-house, and sentenced
to nine months' imprisonment.
The prisoners wero fully-committed for trial on the
charge of breaking into the house of Mr. Brookes, as it
appeared they succeeded in forcing open the shutters of
the back drawing-room, which had been left secure on
the family retiring to rest at eleven o'clock on the night
before.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF HOIIIICIP-E
IN THE REGENT'S CANAL DOCK
Yesterday afternoon, shortly before one o ' elock, as a
schooner, called the Lively, from Guernsey,
wentwas corner of
dis-
charging her cargo of stone in the south-
the dock, near the river, and a labouring. man, named
Robert Appling, was heaving at the winch, with hie
face towards the south-west, the report of firearms was
beard, and almost at the same moment Appling put hit
hand on bis breast and exclaimed: `,` Ohl my God, I am
shot." He immediately fell on his back a liteless corpse.
The contents of a piece hadhich been fired had en-
tered his body ins slanting direction, just under the
nipple of the right breast, leaving an orifice about the
size of a shilling. From the position of the wound them
no doubt that the gun or pistol must have been con-
siderably elevated above the deceased, and it is thought
it must have been fired from some lofty building contigu-
ous to the dock. Immediately after the unfortunate
wan fell all eyes 'ere directed towards the sugar-house
at INlessrs. Geodhart and Patrick, sugar-refiners, who
employ a great number of hands, principally Germans.
Some of the shipmasters in the deck were of opinion
that the report came from some vessel in the centre of
the duck, but the Lively was the last ship in the
tier, and as many as twenty vessels intervened, be-
twetn it and the centre of the dock. If any piece had
been fired from the deck or rigging of any ship 'in the
duck, the perpetrator of this diabolical and murderous
outrage must have been discovered immediately. In-
spector Horn, police-sergeant Squires, and several con-
stsbies of the Is division, made n very diligent search
Over Messrs. Goodhart and Patrick's sup r-house, and iu-
terrogated every man in the establishment. They all
denied that any gun or pistol had been fired. 'Tim-
