TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS
.A. At a season like this, when the juvenile folks
•
Are beginning to count on their holiday jokes;
v, hen numberless glad preparations appear
To welcome the season of Christmas with cheer,
E.' MOSES and SON feel inclined to impress
The importance of buying their " juvenile ilres,." •
If parents and guardians wish to be suited
With garments whose value was never disputed;
If they wish for their youths to be glad in a way
Which makes them look comely, engaging, and gay,
Let them purchase at once of E. MOSES and SON
Those suits which such marks of al siroval have won.
The " juvenile dresses" of MOSES are made
In the newest of fashion, with beautiful braid ;
The dresses are formed just to suit tender age,
And therolore your children are sure to engage.
You'll not find them made in an old-fashion d style,
Vs hich often makes persons with ridicule smile;
Their taste and their elegant neatness have won,
Ten thousand approvals for MOSES and SON.
These garments are made in a manner so firm,
That really we'ie quite at a loss for a term.
Your chi'dren may join in the juvenile sport,
Put they'll not hurt their garments, so firmly they're wrought.
Then hasten this season, as thoasands have done,

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS-
CITY, TIIMISDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The following is an extract from a letter
from Galveston, dated October 1, received in the Cit) :
" An invasion is expected. Galvest.m is entirely with-
out defence, and Texas has not a single vessel that can
put to sea against the enemy."
The plan of stamping bankers' cheques, for the purpose
of securingaprofit to the revenue that could not be evaded
like the present duty on receipts, has been a good deal
discussed in the City among persons connected with
various branches of business. Among the remarks made
on it is one against its adoption, which certainly merits
consideration. This is to the effect, that the stamp on
checques would fall unequally on different classes of the
community, and, at the same time, without anything
like a prop Trion to the income of the paying parties.
By the nature of their business, merchants, members of
the Stock Exchange, and others, are constantly drawing
cheques in the course of th&daY, many of which bring,
perhaps, but little profit, and these, though their gains
were small, might be paying at a rate equal. to the in-
come-tax on a handsome fortune. On the other hand,
the wealthy retired persons at the other end of the town
frequently draw but a few large cheques in the course of
the week ; so that, unless something like a graduated
scale were adopted, it is contended that these rich inac-
tive people might be paying pence while the active and
less opulent merchants would be paying pounds. It is,
moreover, apprehended that even if the measure were
adopted, ready means would be found to evade it.
The Government having ceased to make monthly re-
turns in the Gazette of the average circulation of notes in
Engfund -by the private and joint-stock banks, as was
formerly the custom under the provisions of the Act of
4 and 5 Victoria, cap. 50 (the Act passed in 1841), it
beconies a matter of some importance to ascertain in
what manner the public are to obtain this necessary in-
formation. It does not appear very evident that the last
Act for the regulation of the Bank of England and other
banks of issue, which was passed this year, and by which
certain returns are ordered to be made, has in any degree
superseded the former arrangements ; but the Stamp-
office have ever since merely published in the Gazette
the weekly amount of each banker's circulation, and have
ceased to render the averages as heretofore.
We are indebted to the Bankers' Magazine of this
month for a reprint, in a more convenient form, of the
returns contained in the Gazette of the circulation or
notes in England for the weeks ending the 19th and 26th
of October and the 2d and 9th of November ; and as far
as the persons immediately connected with the different
banks are concerned in this question, these returns are
all that they can require, and are much better adapted
for reference than the Gazettes themselves ; but they are
not sufficient for the wants of the public, as very few
persons can be expected to take the trouble of adding up
six closely printed pages, containing each four distinct
columns of large amounts, and the aggregate of which
is nearly 32,000,000. We therefore insert the following
abstract, compiled from these tables :
The four weekly returns above enumerated form to-
gether the aggregate circulation of the month ending
on the 9th of November, and give an average circula-
tion as follows :
PriVate banks
Joint-stock banks 3,220,171

Total circulation of private notes in Eng-
land 7,855,212
3n a comparison with the return for the month ending
he 12th of October, this shows :
A decrease in the notes of the private
banks of
A decrease in the notes of the joint-
stock banks of .

39,121

111.345

Total decrease last month ... 150,466
And as compared with the same period last year :
Decrease in the notes of the private-banks 269,533
Decrease in the notes of the joint-stock-
banks

Total decrease as compared with the same
period last year 364,680
The Bankers' Almanack for 1845, gives a return of
the country bank ~issues, as allowed by the last Act,
which is probably more correct than any yet pub-
lished, as they have corrected several slight errors.
which appear to have been made in the Gazettes. Their
estimate is as follows :

208 private banks allowed to issue .... £5,153,407
72 joint-stock banks allowed to issue 3,495,446

£8,648,853

From a comparison of this statement with the aboNe
monthly average, it appears that the private banks are
about 520,0001., and the joint-stock banks about 270,000 i,
below their allowed issues. And it may here be ob-
served, that the last week, ending the 9th of November,
is in both cases lower than the above average of the
month.

GOLDEN RULES for MENDICANTS.
(From Cruikshank's Comic Almanack for 1845.)
1. Always carry a box of lucifers in your hand-
It is the lbgis of a beggar's life, and shields him from-
the invasion of policemen.
2. Never be lame and blind together in the same
town. thie infirmity at a time is enough for the
coldest sympathy.
3. Run sedulously after Quakers and fat ladies,
especially if you have with you at the time a wife and
a large family.
4. Never fail to sing out well in cold weather. If
you have three or four little boys and girls of mixed
sizes, to sing with you, all the better. Always choose
the middle of the street to give effect to your voices.
5. You must be " frozen out" regularly every
winter, and mount duty in the streets, with a pitch-
fork, tipped with a cabbage, over your shoulder.
6. Your costume in each season must be the oppo-
site of that usually worn ; that is to say, during the
winter, a pair of very thin trousers and a corazza will
be all you require. Shiver violently and chatter your
teeth as often as a person passes you. A sailor's hat,
striped shirt,
,and canvas trousers, are not bad in a
country town.
7. Mind, in your orations, you " haven't tasted
food for three days," and make a practice of picking
up bones, or old crusts, out of the gutter, and gnaw-
ing them, if there is any one looking at you.
8. Never be too modest, if any one has relieved
you, to ask for " an old coat, or a pair of old shoes."
Recollect, llolywell-street is not too proud to pur-
chase the most worthless of wearing apparel.
9. Take care, if you are deaf and dumb, not to
answer any one. Suffer yourself to be taken into
custcdy rather than notice the impertinent questions
of an officer of the Mendicity Society.
10. Take care of long crossings, if you are very
lame. It is extremely unpleasant, as well as infra dig.,
to carry your crutches and run all of a sudden, if you
happen to have at your heels a mad bull or a racing
omnibus.
11. Chalk writing is unprofitable, and belongs to
the old school. If you are driven to it, don't mind
about spelling incorrectly, and be sure you are
" starving." Quiet spots, like Gower street or 'Rus-
sell-square, are the best markets for this branch of the
profession. In great thoroughfares you will have
your fresco or caligraphy rubbed out by every un-
feeling passer-by, and be obliged ultimately to " walk
your chalke

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN BIRMINGHAM. On
Tuesday evening last, at the Grand Junction station.
yard, in Birmingham, a young man, named William
Graystone, many years employed as a cleaner on the
Birmingham line, was assisting in removing an engine,
called the Odin, from one line to another, and while
doing so he had occasion to move in front of the
engine. As he was walking on, however, ad-
vancing towards an ash pit, a policeman and others
who saw him, and anticipated danger from his posi-
tion, cried out to him to take care. He replied that
all would be right, and he immediately started off
before the engine, which was then moving rapidly, and
he jumped into the ash pit, where he stood for a mo-
ment, apparently not knowing what to do, although he
had only to stoop and allow the engine to pass over him.
That, however, he unfortunately did not do, but ran to
the end of the pit, and endeavoured to get up three or
four steps. In this, however, he failed; he slipped on one
side, the engine arrived rapidly upon him, and he was
swept away by the ash-pan, and crushed to death in a
most frightful manner. He was found lying on his face,
quite dead, in a second ash-pit, at a distance of eight
yards, with his body horribly mangled, particularly his
head, in which not a single feature could be recognised.
An inquest was held on the body on Wednesday night,
before J. B. Davies, Esq., and a verdict of accidental
death. returned.

THE HAIR.—Of the numerous compounds con-
stantly announced for promoting the growth or reproduc-
tion of the hair, few survive, even in name, beyond a very
limited period ; whilst " Rowland's Macassar Oil," with a
reputation unparalleled, is still on the increase in public es-
timation. The singular virtues of this successful invention
for restoring, preserving, and beautifying the human hair,
are too well known and appreciated to need much comment.
The very facts of the high and distinguished patronage it
enjoys, its general use in all countries, together with nu-
memos testimonials constantly received in its favour, are
stir
thorities which stamp its superior excellence and title over all
attempts of a similar nature. Being universally preferred,
its consequent great demand excites the cupidity of un-
principled
shopkeepers, who vend the most spuuinerious trol
le il as
the ff genuine" Macassar Oil : whereas the gen Artics
wholly the invention and Property of 4. Rowland and Son,
oration and the ARVilg4ion of its costly exotic materials renders
Abortive any attempt to discover its component parts—thus
