SEASONABLE PRESENTS.
At this festive perioi of the 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
ROWIANDS' ODONTO, OR PEAR% DENTIFRICE,

for imparting a pearl-like whiteness to the Teeth.
The patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, and the high appre-
ciation by rank and fashion, with the well-known infallible efficacy
of these articles, give them a celebrity unparalleled, and render them
a peculiarly Elegant and Seasonable Present.
*,,,* Beware of Spurious Imitations. The only genuine of each
bears the name of " R 0 WLANDS' " preceding that of the article on
the wrapper or label. Sold by them at 20, Ilatton-garden, London,
and by Chemists and Perfumers.

MEDICAL CHARITIES in IRELAND.
The Members of the British College of Health, on behalf of
Hyge.sts, hereby protest 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 ciuntry. The next thing might be a tax for
the support of doctors. Oh Oh
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 apocha in the history of the world.
The .tatesman, the historian, the phtlosopivr, 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 ie 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 3103 ES and SON will remain silent
at a moment like the present; more especially when it Is recollected
:that the Proprietors make a pra^tice at this season of acknowledg-
ing past obligations in trade, and soliciting future favours with a re•
assurance of future endeavours.

_ .
It mast he evident to everybody, that ever since E. MOSES and
SON commenced, there has been a certain, unfiuctuating progres-
sion in their trade. Like as the quicksilver of the thermometer rises
in its glass, as the day opens and warms, has the trade of E. MOSES
and 50N risen year after year beneath the warm 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 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 been the demand for the advantages held out
by the Proprietors, that two important towns in Yorkshire (Brad-
ford and Sheffield) have been made the scenes of still further opera-
tions; for the success attending which, E. LOSES 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 tke public support realized by the Proprietors. Nor
can less be, 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 find it utterly impossible to make
an adequate return in the present circular. There is one satisfac-
tion, however, namely—that were the Proprietors to occupy whole
co'umns of the 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 on all 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 an 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 descripton, such as no
preceding year has witnessed. For immensity of stock, variety of
assortment, quality and beauty of cloth, novelty and elegance of
fashion, and surprising cheapness, 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-
hibition was first mentioned. they put themselves in communication
with the p-incipal manteacturers in woollen and other fabrics, and
that they have succeeded, by means of awarding liberal prizes, is
securing some of the most tasty and novel materials for gentlemen's
dress, which will be ready for exhibition at the commencement of
the ensuing Spring Season.
By thee 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 Branch Establishment was a project of the past
year, E. MOSES and SON are induced to make a special allusion to
it. The support which this speculation has received, far, im-
measurably far, exceeds even what the Proprietors themselves had
anticipated ; such triumphant support has here been achieved by E.
MOSES and SON, as fully convinces them that this opening was
none other than a step in the right direction.
Heartily acknowledging this special proof of success, E. MOSES
and SON would conclude, hoping that, by the industry of all nations,
the amity of all nations ;vill be happily promoted in the year 1851.

Caution.—E. Moses and Son regret having to guard the public
against imposition, but having heard that the untradesmanlike 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

tite, sick headache, giddiness, sense of fulness after meals, dizziness

verance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses will convince
the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will speedily regain

done anything contrary to the laws of the country he

said the defendant was a notorious impostor. He had

Mr. BINGHAM committed him for seven days.
MARYLEBONE.

A " jolly young waterman," who gave his nate e
Thomas Edward Coding, was brought before Mr. Brough-
ton, charged with having been found concealed in the
coal cellar at the residence of Miss Bessie Mortlock, 6,
Townshend-road, St. John's-wood, for an unlawful pur-
pose.
Miss Mortlock deposed that on the same morning,
between 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 gave a loud scream, which
brought down her sister and the servant, the latter of
whom denied all knowledge of the intruder.
Mr. BROUHTON—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? Witness—Nothing, Sir, at that time, but she
rushed towards the prisoner, and threw both her arms
round his neck, and fainted. She soon revived, but it
was some time before I could remove her, so tightly did
she cling to him. He offered considerable resistance to
me, and it was with much difficulty that I succeeded in
getting him to the station-house. The young woman fol-
lowed us there, and, while the charge was being en-
tered, 'she fainted again.
Mr. BnoirsnTorr—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 woman about 28, was de-
sired to stand up in the box, which, with evident reluct-
ance, she did.

Mr. BROUGHTON—HOW long have you known the
prisoner? Witness—Five or six years.
Mr. BROUGHTON—How came he in your mistress's
house?—Witness (after much hesitation)—l had been
out, and, meeting him in the road, we walked a short
distance together. He came home with me, and I let
him in, because I thought he was tired and required a
little rest.

Mr. BROUGHTON—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 said 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. BROUGHTON 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 mutt pay 20a.
His " lady fair" speedily released him.
LAMBETH.

John Simpson and Frederick Kennester, the latter a
burglar and thit f, and the toraer ►he associate of thieves,
were placed at the bar, before Mr. Elliott, on a charge
of attempting to break into Herculee-hall, the residence
of Mr. Brookes, a stirch 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 tie 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 drawing-room window. Ile (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
next-door neighbour to Mr.Brookes, on hearing the alarm
of " Thieves !" and " Police!" instantly sprang a rattle,
and in a very few minutes several 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 on searching the cellar of
the building the officers found the other prisoner, Ken-
nester, huddled up among some shavings, with a dark
lantern close to him, and some lucifer 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 last the premises of himself and partner
were burglariously entered by the thieves forcing open
a back door. Having to force a second door before they
could reach that pan of the premises which it was their
object to arrive at, and which h%d evidently offered con
siderable resistance, they made sufficient noise to dis-
turb some members of the family, and had it not been
for the extreme darkness 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 Goff 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 persons who had burglariously
entered his premises. Mr. Buck added that in the month
of May, 1849, his premises had been entered by thieves,
who carried away postage stamps, cash, and other pro-
perty to the amount of over 2001., and since that time
he hed kept a blunderbuss and other firearms lea-led in
the house, and had it not been for the extreme darkness
of the morning, as he had before stated, the men would
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-
nester was heard to ask Simpson if they (the police)
had taken anything from him, and he replied that they
had taken his boots. Kennester said that they had
taken his also, and that it was a " D-1 bad job."
Evidence was given of the fact of the prisoner Kennes-
ter having been repeatedly in custody, and convicted of
the most desperate robberies. It was also said that 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 were 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
tho 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 HOMICIDE
IN THE REGENT'S CANAL DOCK. _

Yesterday afternoon, shortly before one o'clock, odgiss..
schooner, called the Lively, from Guernsey,
charging her cargo of stone in the south-west eo"rnanaser
named

wiereha,nw' m

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
man fell all eyes were directed towards the sugar-house
of Messrs. Goodhart and Patrick, sugar-refiuers, who
employ a great number of hands, principally Germans.
Some of the shipmasters in the dock were of opinion
that the report Caine from some vessel in the centre of
the dock, but the Lively was the last ship in the
tier, and as many as twenty vessels intervened, he-
tween it and the centre of the dock. If any piece bail
been fired from the deck or rigging of. any ship in tho
dock, the perpetrator of this diabolical and murderous
outrage must have been discovered immediately. In-
spector Horn, police-sergeant Squires, and several con-
stables of the K division, made a. very diligent search
over Messrs. Goodhart and Patrick's sugar-house, and ia-
terrogated every man in the establishment. They all,
denied that any gun or pistol had been fired. Two,

~~

-6.iitols were found in the sugar-house, but they had not
bTo fired for many years, and were covered with rust.
The proprietors of the sugar-house gave the police every
facility in prosecuting the inquiry, and expressed au
earnest desire that the perpetrator of the tnurer should
be discovered. The sugar-house overlooks the dock, and
the windows on the north side are facing the schooner
Lively. The police, Mr. Biggs, the dock master, and
other persons, made every possible inquiry, and searched
every vessel in the dock, and every building near it,
without beim.' able to obtain the least clue to the
person who fireds the silo', for whose apprehension, it
is believed, the Dock Company will not only offer a
large reward, but also make application at the Home-
office for a further reward from the Government. Several
captains of ships say they heard two distinct reports
of firearms, one just before dinner (twelve o'clock), trod
another at twenty minutes before one. Mr. Bigg the
dock-master, states that one of his men tolil him that he
heard the report of a gun, and s.tw the fl.isfr n,ar the

FATAL FIRE IN ST. AIARTIN'S-.LANE.
Mr. Bedford, the coroner, held an inquest at half-
past two o'clock yesterday, at St. Martin's Workhouse,
on the bodies of Ruth Lowe, Cornelius Caunt, and
Martha Caunt, who were destroyed by fire on Wednes-
day morning in the Couch and Horses public-house, St.
Martin's-lane, kept by Benjamin Caunt, the ex-champion
of England.

The- jury having been sworn proceeded to view the
bodies, which presented a most appalling spectacle--
the limbs mangled and disfigured, the entrails protrud-
ing, and their whole frames presenting a blackened and
frightful aspect. The following witnesses were then
called:—

Ann Tomlin, of 51, Castle-street, said—l am the wife
of Richard Tomlin, licensed victualler. I knew the de-
ceased, Ruth Lowe, and Cornelius and Martha Caunt,
and I identify the bodies shown to me here as theirs.
Ruth Lowe appeared to me to be about eighteen years of
age. She was a single woman and a servant. Cornelius
Caunt was about six, and his sister about eight. Their
parents' names are Benjamin and Martha Caunt. I was
not on the premises, and I cannot tell any of the facts
relating to the accident.

Susannah Thorpe— I live at 5, Kensington-park-road,
Notting-hill. I went to Mr. Cannes in the afternoon of
Tuesday. lam a relation of Mrs. Ceuta's. I was there
when an alarm was given shortly after two o'clock in the
morning, Mrs. Caunt and myself were in the bar when
the clock struck two, and we went to bed shortly after.
The three deceased persons went to bed some hours be-
fore. They all slept in one of the attics. I saw them
when they were going to bed. The servant was sober
and apparently well. Mr. Caunt was not at home, and
I slept with Mrs. Caunt. When we had got into bed the
man servant gave the alarm. We had not put out the
light. Mrs. Caunt had not got into bed, but I had. The
barman came and alarmed us. Mrs. Caunt immediately
ran down stairs. We saw fire in the middle room; we
lay in the front room on the second flour, immediately
under the others. The deceased were in the room above
us. We saw smoke and fire in the middle room on the
floor in which we slept. I don's know if there was
a fire in the room where the deceased lay. I
did 'riot see ' the deceased taken out. The barman
had -gone -to bed. There were no other persons occu-
pying the attics that night. I suppose the fire broke
out in the middle room on the second floor. A servant
and the baby were in an adjoining room; there wee no
tire in either of these two rooms. I cannot account
how the fire originated. The barman slept in one of the
attics. There are three rooms on each floor. The bar-
man went into the room where the girl and the baby
were sleeping. I don't know much about the house or
its arrangements. Mrs. Caunt and myself ran down to
give the alarm. We were very much frightened.
Edward Noakes, cellerman to Mr. Caunt—l bad been
in bed about a minute, or a minute and a half, before the
alarm of fire was given. I slept in the back attic. I
had no candle went I went up to bed; there was no fire
in the room. I lit a candle after I got up, and put it out
before I went to bed. I heard no noise. I sat up in
tied, and hallooed to Mrs. Caunt if she was lighting a
fire. I got out of bed, and she said " No; the house is
on fire." I then ran down stairs, and saw the tire
in the middle room: Two beds were on fire in the
room. I went through the room into the other room,
and found that the nurse and the baby had gone down
stairs. There was 20 fire in any other room but the middle
room. There was no fire in the room where the nurse and
baby were, but there was smoke in it. I knew the
deceased was sleeping in the attic aiij.iining when I
slept there. I ran up stairs again, and woke a man who
was sleeping in my room and the deceased. I could not
see them, but I could feel and hear them, though the
smoke was so great that I could not see them. Three of
the children generally slept in the same attic. The little
Ot)y Bin called out, " Here is the window," and then
%vent to it, and I got him out on the tiles, end the bar-
maid and myself as well. The floor was not then burn-
ing, but the room was full of smoke. The three of us
got over the tiles to the next house. I did not return to
the room again, and could not. On getting out I saw
the fire escape in the street, but could not get to it. Tie
fire originated in the middle room. I fmve nothing else
to say.

By- the jury—The potman slept in the same room with
me, and he got out of the window. No one slept in the
middle attic. We got out at the trent window, and
passed through the room occupied by the deceased.
Jiuth Lowe was cook. The barman, barmaid, myself,
and one of the children escaped. Mrs. Caunt and the
witness Thorpe ran down stairs. I thought the deceased
had escaped. They did not cry out. I heard no alarm
from the street before I discovered the fire inside, but I
heard Mrs. Caunt crying out " Fire" at the street-door.
Dominick Carr, police-sergeant F 15—I was on duty
in St. Martin's-lane, and passed by the Coach and
Horses about three minutes before the alarm of fire was
given, about fifteen
.or eighteen minutes past two. At
that time there was no symptom of a fire. I met the
constable on duty and returned back again in about
three minutes, and turned up New-street, when I heard
a woman cry out " Fire" and " Police.",l ran back, and
at the corner of the street found the constable running
and springing his rattle. Mrs. Caunt was on the pave-
ment, crying out for her children, and that the house
was on fire. I went inside the door, but could see no
fire or smoke. Three constables came up, and I sent
for the engine and fire escape. I ascended,the staircase.
Mrs. Caunt attempted to follow, but I ordered the con-
stable to prevent her. I ascended, and when I reached
the landing on the first floor I heard the cracking of the
flames. I went to the second floor, and saw that the
back part of the house was all in flames. On the so-
cond floor, front I found the bed clothes down. The fire
was is the adjoining room. I asked where the children
were, and they roared out " higher up." I attempted
to get up the staircase, but could not. I was nearly
suffocated. It was impossible to get to the attics. I
did not sea or hear any one above. I then got down,
and the fire escape arrived about three minutes after. I
first entered the house. The fire escape was placed
against the window on the second floor, but I ordered
them to put it to the top of the house. Up to this time
there was no cry from :he top of the house I got upon the
adjoining house, and saw the fireman at the attic win-
dow. lie broke the window, and the flames rushed out,
and he said it was impossible to render assistance. The
barman was not sober when I saw him. He was drunk.
The only possibility of saving the children was from the
top of the house. I saw the deceased taken out from the
the top attic, where the fireman attempted to get in.
It was unfortunate the men had not remained on the
roof. The fire must have originated from the middle
room on the second floor.

By the jury—l can't say that the children would have
been caved if the fire escape had been put to the right
window at first. The floor on the attic where the de-
ceased were found was not mueh burnt.
A juryman stated that it was seven minutes after the
alarm was given before a policeman came.
The witness and several of the jury said that was not
true.
Some of the jury here volunteered versions of their
own, contradictory of each ocher and of the testimony of
the witnesses.
Ford Girrard, a fireman—l was called to the fire about
twenty-live minutes past two. I went up to Canners
house, and on entering it found I could not get up be-
yond the second floor back room. I then came down
