It is intended to construct a Railway between Godalming and want, 32 miles in length, to afford a more direct and a cheaper .. tommunication between London a nd Portsmouth, as well as Railway `coona mo d a ti on generally to the large extent of unopened country rough which it will pass. The deposit of plans and sections, and all other necessary steps, have been taken with a vie w to an application for an Act of, Incor yoration during the present Session of Parliament. The line will commence at the end of the GodalminT Branch of 11e South-Western Railway , and will p ass the towns of Godalming, . 1 aslemero, and Petersfield, and generally following the route of the -Direct Portsmouth Railway as sanctioned by Parliament in 1846, to I lavant, it will there unite with the Coast Line of the Brighton Corn- Pany, and the Fareham Extension Line of the South-Western Com pany, proceed thence directly to the town and harbour of Ports tuouth. The landowners and others locally interested in the district have concurred in promoting this measure, and have, to the extent of nearly three-fourths of the length of the line, signede agreem inents eralfor the sale of their land at its mere agriculturalnd sev Instances have agreed to take the company's shares in pay Go meat. dalming, The connexion with the South -Eastern Railway, near will secure to the proposed line the advantage of a second entrance Into and exit from London, the one to the west end, and the other to the heart of the City, establishing by the same means also a direct communication, and with a great s lying in distance, between the metropolis, Woolwich, Chatham, Sheerness, ort Reigate, and the the booth-eastern-eastern Line generally, and Guildford, Psmouth and tile of Wight, as well es with all the intervening country. The lino will effect all the objects contemplated by the Direct / l ortamoutith Act of 1846, but at the reduced cost of 400,0001. now, instead of 1,500,0001. then required. It has been also further greatly improved by a late survey made under the directions of Messrs. Locke and Errington, by which it 'WIII not only be materially shortened, but three out of the four most serious and highly objectionable tunnels in the former plans have been entirely got rid of in the present, and the fourth, near Peters field, seduced to one-third its length. To avoid all risk and uncertainty, however, on these essential Points, the promoters have entered into a provisional contract with Perfectly responsible parties. for the completion of the entire line from God:dining to Havant, for the extremely moderate sum of 372,0001., or 12,0001. per mile, including the cost of land, rails, sta. lions, and all other necessaries, excepting only the locomotive plant; a nds, further, tho same parties have come under a formal and binding engagement to take a lease, if required, of the line when completed, for the first five year's. at a net minimum rental of 4 per cent. per annum, with one-half of the profits beyond that amOuut. Parliament having already, in 1846, sanctioned this line now pro- Posed to be constructed, Its promoters eannot believe that any se rious or effeetive opposition can be again offered to it. To sum up, it may be safely asserted that the undertaking holds Out advantages to subscribers and the public generally that have rarely yet been offered by any other railway project, viz. : It will afford the most direct, and by far the cheapest route be tween Loudon and Portsmouth end the Isle of Wight, being the shorter by twenty-two miles than either oft he two existing lines, and being contracted fer at 12,0001. a mile, in lieu of about four times that a mount expended on the Brighton and South -Western line will have, through the South-eastern, from Godalming, a double entrance into London ; from which it follows, almost as a matter of course, that it will command the entire traffic of the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth. On terms that, while highly remunerative to its proprietary, must make competition on the part of its rivals hopeless, if not impossi ble, Further, the whole cost of the entire works and mateand i fixed has been undertaken. by respectable contractors , fo r a spec sum ; thus freeing the calculations and estimates of the engineers from all doubt and uncertainty. And, finally, the Shareholders will have the power of accepting rnot, at their option, the offer of a lease of the line when complc led, f or five years, at a minimum rate of 4 per cent. interest on their capital, with half the profits beyond.

NEA.RLY HALF the ADULT POPULATION' of Great Britain could bear testimony to the agreeable influ ence and curative powers of PARR'S LIFE PILLS; and cheerful ness being "the health of virtue." to possess it is to advance a great step in happiness, comfort, and bodily ease. He who has not tested the efficacy of these admirable Pills, has neglected an essential incen tive to health and happiness. They are found, after giving them a fair trial for a few weeks, to possess the most astonishing and invigorating properties ; and they mill overcome all obstinate complaints, and restore sound health. Their mildness as a purgative is a desideratum greatly required by the weak and delicate.

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTLI liamilton-place Ncw-road, London. ' The principles of the HYGEIAN or MOAISONIAN SYSTEM are contained in the following propositions :- 1. The vital principle is in the blood. 2. Everything in the body is derived from the blood. 3. All constitutions are radically the same. 4. All diseases arise from impurity of the blood, or, in other words, from acrimolious humours lodged in the body. 5. Pain and disease have the same origin ; and may therefore be considered synonymous. 6. From the intimate connexion subsisting between mind and body, the health of one must conduce to the serenity of the other. 7. Proper Purgation by Vegetables is the only effectual mode of eradicating disease. 8. The discovery of a VEGETABLE sofasCOMPUND, capable of being digested, and mixing with the blood, to impart to it the energy requisite for ridding the body of all impurities, was a desideratum. 9. This discovery was made by JAMES MORISON, the Hygeist, in the composition of the VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL MEDICINE (Morison's Pills) of the British College of Health, Hamilton-place, New-road, London.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearffil consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated s chools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself ono of the few regally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and Inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of those cases.

CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS. ON all hands arrangements are making to celebrate the anniversary of Christmas. To create novelty for a festivity so ancient requires some degree of ingenuity, and to introduce fresh sources of comfort and enjoyment claims more than ordinary talent. For a great number of years novelties in Dress have been an important item in Christmas preparations. What, then, must be the amount of skill possessed by those artists chose introductions are new on each recurrence of this festivity? It is those only whose success has long been the admiration of all classes, and whose seasonable productions have gained lasting celebrity, who can provide articles of ATTIRE worthy of universal patronage. The DRESS prepared for Christmas by E. MOSES and SON embraces variety, surpassing all attempts at imitation, and exhibits novelties which only the first Tailoring Establishments in the universe can device. To maintain this distinction, E. MOSES and SON'S Christ mas Preparations present ATTIRE for ADULTS and JUVENILES in the widest range of taste, the nucleus of their most celebrated styles, DRESS for Ckristmas parties, the most splendid materials and the neatest workmanship. OVERCOATS and WATERPROOF CLOTHING in the most gentlemanly and comfortable styles. HATS, CAPS, and HOSIERY, unequalled for qualily and beauty, and all Goods charged considerably lower prices than at any other house. N.H.—Christmas eve being Friday, E.

Such a system is too equitable and too strikin g to be overlooked and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of ass uranc e which can be universally recognized and adopted when the pr i nc i p l e s are impar tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It confers greater advantages than a bank because it allows a fair rate of interest in case of withdrawal , and gives twice the amount in the hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in case of death, thus combining the ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITH THE BENEFITS OF AN ASSURANCE COMPANY. In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DErosyr system are still more striking. ADVANTAGES OF THIS COMPANY UNDER THE ORDINARY LIFE ASSURANCE BRANCH.

Trade generally was dull. This was chiefly attributed to the want of means for conveyances, for teams—we find it stated throughout the papers before us—occupied more time in making one trip than was usual for three when the roads were passable. The Surveyor-General has issued a report, from which it appears that it would require 500,0001. to repair the roads in New South Wales, exclusive of the expense of construct ing new roads to the various gold fields. Vast numbers of mechanics and labourers were still leaving either for the New South Wales or the Victoria diggings, in spite of the high prices paid to them at Sydney and the other towns. The wages of carpenters are quoted at 60s. per week, shipcarpenters 725., masons 555., tinsmiths 60s. to 1003., wheelwrights and dray builders 120 s. to 2005., while bootmakers, wireworkers, plasterers, and other trades got proportionably high rates. All these wages had an upward tendency. It was generally allowed that there was no getting on with out roads and railroads, and, to make them, mechanics "must be paid 10s. per day, and double that amount if necessary." " Gold wages in a gold country" has long been the cry of all classes in New South Wales and Victoria, and the people generally are impatient to be taxed, provided the revenue be laid out in works of public utility. The Sydney Morning Herald mentions the stockholders and golddiggers as most likely to be benefited by, and consequently chiefly called upon to bear the burden of a road tax. The stockholders would derive enormous advantages from an improvement of the roads, because sheep, beasts, and horses, the de mand for which is rapidly increasing, would gain a freer access to the markets. The diggers are taxed at the rate of ls. per day, The paper we quote from thinks the tax should be raised to 2s. 6d. Unfortunate or incompetent diggers would then be driven back to their ordinary oc cupations. This would equalise labour and expand the revenue. There can be no doubt that any measure tending to stop the indiscriminate rushes to the gold fields would act most beneficially, and that such a measure is devoutly to be wished lbw, At present, it is as if actually no emigrants from this country had reached Australia; those that have landed have left no traces in the towns or in the bush; they have at once gone to swell the alarming number of consumers at the diggings. "Over this country," says the Sydney Morning Herald, "There hangs a cloud so black and threatening as to cause men's hearts to fail them for fear. All the thrilling descriptions given by the Times of the desolation to be apprehended for the industrial interests of these colonies are but too likely to be realised to the very letter, unless population pours in upon us, and that without delay, by thousands and tens of thousands. Our winter is fast pass ing away, and with the return of spring will come the hour of our trial. We fear for our flocks and herds, we fear for our farms, we fear for all the departments of our manual occupation, urban as well as rural. Wages have risen pro digiously, are rising still, and nothing can prevent their far outstripping the profits of capital in every branch of business but an immense, an immediate, and a continuous immigration." The political condition of the colony and the temper of the colonists are, as we hinted in a former report, quite as distressing. The papers before us contain ample evidence of this fact. It is the opinion of the colonists that their affairs have arrived at a marked and porten tous crisis. " This day's mail will convey to her Majesty's Govern ment the details and results of the late movement in our Legislative Council. In the speeches delivered and in the resolutions adopted, Ministers will hardly fail to perceive that the time has come when concessions can no longer be withheld, but at risks which even Ministers ought not to contemplate without alarm. In some of those speeches, it is true, expressions'. were employed of which soberminded colonists entirely disapprove. But let Ministers be assured of this—thatrespecting the political wrongs by which those angry expressions were provoked there is throughout the country but one opinion and one feeling . . . . There is but one opinion among all ranks and all parties as to the necesssity of our having the unfettered control of all our own revenues and plenary powers of legislation on subjects purely colonial The public mind has been so exasperated by the proceedings of the Home Government that nothing short of a speedy removal of all our just causes of complaint can arrest and put down that spirit of disloyalty which has of late been gaining ground in every direction." The above is, in temperate language, a faithful abstract of the violent denunciations of the Home Government and the local authorities which for months past have filled the New South Wales and Victoria papers. No roads, no bridges, and latterly no gold escorts ; irregular mails, the postal communication interrupted for a fort night at a time, the country overrun with escaped convicts, the police force miserably deficient, and in many instances altogether wanting ; horse and cattle stealing of such frequent occurrence that the Court could not find time to try the offenders if the offenders could be caught ; highway robberies perpetrated with impunity, and, of late, robberies in open daylight in the streets of Melbourne : these are the chief feature of Australian news, to which every paper contributes its quotuni. After this it is almost super fluous to mention minor grievances, such as the out rageous cost of the collection of the gold revenue—the cost of collection in New South Wales on a revenue of 63,479/. being 23,0001. The Australian winter ended in the first week of September, Sheep-shearing was to commence in the middle of that month. The colonists were at a loss to know where the shearers were to come from and what wages they would demand. But they hint very signi ficantly that some persons in England may be even more interested in that question than the owners of the sheep themselves. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS.

IS REP RES EN T ATI ON-WATKINS'S DIRECTORY.—We have, for about a month past, observed in several newspapers, prefixed or affixed to our announcements of the " Post Office London Directory for 1853," an advertisement in which it is aleged that " Watkins's General London Directory and Court Guide for 1853' contains upwards of 127,000 names, being 27,000 more than will be found in any other Directory of London ever published." It is not the fact that " Watkins's Directory for 1853" contains 27,000 more names than the " Post Office London Directory for 1853," or even so many names as that work. The arrangement, termed in the Post Office " STR EET DIRECTORY," and in Watkins's " STREET KEY." The " Street Directory" in the Post Office Directory contains 114,048 names or firms, while Watkins's contains but 113,410. In the other divisions of the work, containing names distinct from those in the Street Directory, or information of a different character, the disproportion is more marked. In the names of Government Officers, for instance, the Post Office has 7,000 names, *bile Watkins's has very much less than 3,000, and Watkins's contains no Alphabetcal List of, or Index to these names, so that one name cannot be found without wading through the entire. In the Postal division the disproportion is still greater, while in Watkins's Directory this division is devoid of any Index; nor is there any Index to the Street Key, or to the List of Trades, or to the Legal Directory. We should not have made this announcement but for the misrepresentation that" Watkins's Direc tory for 1853" contains 27,000 "more names than any other Direc tory of London ever published." Such a statement repeated so fre quently asit has been in public alvertisements, might, if allowed to pass uncontradicted, obtain some amount of credence.

UPPER INDIA RAILWAY COMPANY. — Additional capital of 3,000,0001.—Fr0m the great imp stance attached by the authorities to the early construction of a line of rail road from Allahabad to Delhi, the Directors ofthe Upper Ind.a Rail way Company feel it to be essential to the interests cf their Shareholders that this Company should at once be placed in a posi tion to tender for the whole line. They have therefore rcsolved, after mature delberation, to INCREASE the present CAPIPAL of the Company irons 1,005,000!. to 4,000,000!. This sum their En gineers assure the Directors is fully adequate to' construct the whole line and such' short branches as may be necessary, as well as to pro vide the requisite plant. The additional capital will be raised by an issue of 150,000 shares of 201. each, with a deposit of 2s. on each share. Of these new shares 75,000 will be allotted pro rata to the holders of scrip, as new as may be in the prep..rtion of three shares of the new issue te“tveer two of the old issue. 50,0i0 will be reserved for India, and , She remaining shares, including any not taken in India or by the SerlPhol leis, will be reserved or disposed of for the interest of this Company, as the pirectors may deem advisable. Applications to be addressed to the Directors, at the offices of the Company, on or before the 21th instant.

His journey is postponed for some days, and, when he goes, Marshal de St. Arnaud, Minister of War, will accompany him. The other Ministers will visit Compiegne in succession. The cortege of his Ma jesty will be composed of about a score of persons, senators, marshals, and generals. It is also said that several members of the diplomatic corps are to be invited to the hunts which are to take place in the forest. The Moniteur publishes an amnesty granted to deserters from the merchant service, on the same terms and conditions as that lately granted to those of the army and navy, and allowing different periods for them to avail themselves of it, according to the distance at which they may be at the time from France. The central commission of railways, which was created to replace the general commission insti tuted in 1847, ceased to exist in 1851 2 • but it is now said that the Government intends to institute a new commission charged to decide on the oppor tuneness of the demands for new lines, and on the precise direction to be taken by them. The large number of demands for concessions referred to by the Moniteur has, it is said, led to this measure. The Government, it is added, will submit to the commission a project for establishing secondary lines, in which, as in 1842, the different directions which it is desirable for them to take will be indi cated, and the number of them will be limited. A journal of the Dordogne says :—" As the heavy rain prevented a great number of electors from going to vote on the question of the Empire, the electors who were prevented from voting has tened to make declarations to that effect to the mayors. It appears that the mayors of 92 communes of this department have forwarded proces-verbiux to prove that upwards of 3000 electors were thus prevented from voting." General Lamorciere has returned to Bruss els, where he intends to pass the greater part of the winter. The Patrie states that two decrees are in contem plation, one to augment the number of the members of the Chamber of Commerce from 15 to 21 : and the second relative to the commission to be levied by agens de change, brokers, and insurance office agents. The negotiation of commercial bills not having more than six months to run is to be charged one-eighth per cent., half to be paid by either party ; but when the time is more than six months one eighth per cent. is to be paid by the buyer, and one fourth per cent. by the seller. For negotiations in the Rente, Industrial Shares, Bank Shares, and Railway Securities, the commission is to be one eighth per cent. on the net amount of the negotia tion, payable by each party. When for railway shares the commission so levied shall be inferior to 50c. per share, the sum of 50c. shall nevertheless be charged, one-half payable by the seller, and one half by the buyer. Lower charges than are at pre sent levied are also to be fixed for the sale of bran dies, wines, &c., and the commission to be charged by the insurance-office . agents is to be one per thousand, whatever may be the rate of premium. The inauguration of the bust of the Emperor at the Marche des Enfants Rouges, took place on Tuesday in presence of the Archbishop of Paris, the mayor of the 7th arrondissement, and the other functionaries of the district. The mayor delivered a speech on the occasion, in which he recapitulated the immense services which had been rendered to the country by the man who had been thrice elected by France as her head. This speech, which was lis tened to with the deepest attention, was, at its close, followed by loud cries of " Vive l'Empereur." The Archbishop afterwards delivered an allocution suitable to the occasion, which produced the deepest impression. Public securities were heavy yesterday. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 106 f. 350., and closed at 106 f. 10c. ; the Three per Cents. closed at 82f. 15c. THE CONTINENT. SPAIN. A telegraphic dispatch announces that General Narvaez has been ordered to quit Spain. The Madrid Gazette of the 9th contains a noti fication from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to the effect that the Queen of Spain has acceded to the treaty of Loudon of the Bth May, between the great powers, relative to the succession of the Danish Throne ; and that this succession was effected on the sth with the usual formalities. The Gazette states that on the Ist the floating delit of the Treasury was 354,628,487 rcals, and that a month before it was 356,205,303 reads. The negotiation of Treasury Bonds during the month of November was, says the Gazette, effected at 8 per cent. per annum for private persons, and at 6 cent. for the Bank and Messrs. Rothschild. In consequence of acquittal by the jury, the Nacion, theNonedates, and the Clamor Public° had resumed publication as political journals. GERMANY. In the last sitting of the Germanic Diet, says the German Journal of Frankfort of the 13th, M. de Bismarck-Schcenhausen announced that he had received an official notification from the Minister of France of the accession of Prince Louis Napoleon to the Empire. The Diet resolved that it would continue its official relations with the French Go vernment until further orders. "It is said," adds the Gazette, " that the recognition of the new French Empire will not take place until after the Empire shall have been recognised by the different S tates. The " Bavarian journals announce that M. de Wendland, Bavarian ambassador in Paris, who had been passing some time in Munich, left that city on the 9th to return to his post. He was the bearer, it is said, of new credentials. Intelligence reached Mannheim on the 9th that the students of Heidelberg intended to make a demonstration in the night. Two companies of infantry were immediately ordered to keep them selves in readiness to act at a moment's notice, but the night passed off peaceably. The official journal of Berlin, of the 11th, an nounces that Prince Charles of Prussia had passed a good night, and that, as no change was expected Ito take place in his situation, which was favourable, no more bulletins are to be published. The Resorgimento of Turin, of the 11th, states that the curates of Villareggia and San Giusto (Piedmont) were arrested on the 7th, for having spoken against the constitutional regime. The examination of witnesses still continues at Florence in the case of Guerrazzi and others, and, generally speaking, the depositions are decidedly in favour of the prisoners. It is believed, in Flo rence, that Romanelli will be acquitted ; as to Guerrazzi his acquittal is not considered quite so certain ; and great fetirs are entertained for the other prisoners. A letter from Florence, of the 7th, in the Cor riere Mercantile of Genoa, states that so many ex ceptions have been made to the measure by which foreign refugees were to be expelled from Tuscany, that in reality the whole measure is reduced to this—that any refugee may reside in Tu!scany, pro vided be has means of subsistence, quiet habits, and respectable acquaintance. Permissions of re sidence have already been retur.ned to a great many refugees who had been deprived of them. LAURENT'S GRAND CASINO. A RGYLL ROOMS, Great Windmill-street, R.

This handbill charges nineteen omissions and fourteen other errors—in all thirty-three actual mistakes in a work containing up wards of ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN THOUSAND distinct names or firms. In the handbill 'F. W. Watkins' charges tke Post office London Directory for 1853,' with having improperly omitted, in Cannon-street. City, the names of various persons or firms, which, in truth (although inserted as at Cannon-street in Watkin's Directory for 1853), are not to be found in Cannon-street at all. And by the somewhat extraordinary process of multiplying the one thousand five hundred and eighty-four columns of print in the Post office Street Directory,' by these blunders in Watkins's Directory, he arrives at the conclusion, and actually represents that there are thirty thousand errors of omission' in the Post Office London Directory for 1853.' The following are extracts from F. W. Watkins's hand -1 bill:— 1 "Names omitted in Cannon -s t reet, City, in the Post Office Lon don Directory fur 1853. See page 174." ` 19. British Colonial Sugar Company.' Of this 'omission' the following Certificate will sufficiently dis pose :—" In a handbill n.w in course of circulation, and having the signature • F. IV. Watkins,' it is alleged that the offices of the British Colonial Sugar Company' are at 19, Cannon-street, City. Such is not the fact. These offices remain, as stated in the • Post Office London Directory for 1b53,' at 10A, King's Arms-yard, Moor gate-street. The entry at page 70, of Watkins's Directory for 1853 —' British Colonial Sugar Company, R. Smith, sec., 19, Cannon street,' is therefore erroneous. "(Signed) GEORGE F. SKIM for R. Sanest. " 10s, King's Arms-yard, 9th Dec., 1852." Another firm, charged as omitted' in the' Post Office Directory,' is thus stated in the handbill:- 64. Perkins and Sharpus, tin and japan manufacturers.' How F. W. Watkins could blunder as to the locality of this emi nent firm is not easy to conjecture. But the following Certificate will prove the accuracy of the Pest Office Directory':—" We have seen a handbill signed' F. W. Watkins,' in which an attack is made on the Post Office London Directory for 1853' for not having given the address of our firm at 64 Cannon-street, City. It is not true that our establishment is, or is intended to be, at 64 Cannon-street: it remains, as stated in 'Post Office Directory for 1853,' at 6, Bell- court. " The insertion of our firm in Watkins's Directory for 1853, at 64, Cannon-street is, therefore, a blunder. " (Signed) PERKINS 8G SIIADPUS. " 6, Bell court, 9th Dec. 1852." Another well-known firm, charged to be omitted in the ` Post Office Directory,' is thus stated in the handbill : `23. Stony, Sterry & Co., wholesale oilmen and drysalters.' Thus disposed of by the following Certificate :—" When the col lector for the Post Office Directory cacti here, we directed that we should be described for the year 1853 at this address, where we still carry on our business. STEHEY, STERRT & CO. " 143, Boro' High-street, 18 Dec. 1852." Another name, charged by ' F. W. Watkins' as improperly omitted, at 64, Cannon-street, in the ' Post Office Directory for 1853, is thus stated in his handbill : ' 64, Shindler, Robert, solicitor.' This false charge is disposed of by the following Certificate : " There is no person of the name of Robert Shindler in practice as a solicitor, or holding offices at all in this house. " 64, Cannon-street, City, 9 Dec., 1852. (Signed) B. PEarms." In the belief that we have, for the present, sufficiently disposed of F. W. Watkins's' calculation as to the 30,000 omissions, we pass to some others of his statements included in the THIBTY-TIIREE names. It is within the knowledge of every one possessing any experience in commercial affairs, that many firms or trades, after the decease of the original proprietors, continue to be carried on in the same names—as Coutts & C 0.," Child & Co.,' &c., &c., &c. " Aston I, box and ivory rule maker, 25, Old Compton Street, deed eight years ; still this name appears in the Fost Office London Directory for 1853: " Certificate thereupon :—" In a circular recently issued by F. W. Watkins,' it is stated that the name of ' I. Ashton, 25, Old Compton street,' is an error. I hereby state that it was inserted by my authority, the business being, like many others (such as Plekford Co.), carried on in the original name. " (Signed) " 25, Old Compton-street, 6 December, 1852." GEOII,GB MINUS. Another statement in the handbill is the following : " Conne Nicholas, glass engraver, 33, Princes-street. Leicester square, dead two years ; still this appears In the Post Office London Directory for 1853! " Certificate—" Having observed that it is stated in a circular re cently issued by the proprietor of Watkins's Commercial Directory,' that the name of N. Conno is inserted in error in the Post Mee London Directory,' I beg to state that it was inserted at my particu lar request, the business being still carried on under that name by myself and the executrix, .... . " (Simed) 33, Princes-street, 6th December, 1852." W. S. GOODWIN The following is another of the statements In the handbill : " Leo. Chas. E. academy, 18, Goodgo-street, dead twelve months ; still this name appears in the ' Post Offlee London Directory for 1853." . Certificate—" It was at my request that my husband's name was kept in the • London Post Office Directory for 1653.' " (Signed) LAURA E. Lao. "18, Goodte-street, 9th December, 1852." It will doubtless he generally considerg ii-eigracrChtievat sufficiently with the mendacious handbill ; sliouh4 F. W. Watkins further circulate it in the teeth of the foregoing certificates. we shall make a far more thorough exposure of its sophistries and falsehoods.

Gold was being found in large quantities and of a character similar to that of Mount Alexander. Many persons from Sydney were leaving for Bingara. It was expected that 1,000 licenses would be taken out for September. No particu lars, are, however, given of the yields of these diggings, which it appears are about 180 miles from Maitland. They are for the present confined to the tableland at the head of the Bingara , and Courangoura creeks, and up to the end of August the diggers had only been surfacing. Very little gold had reached Sydney in the last days of August and the first days of September. It appears that the roads are so thoroughly impassable that no escort can traverse them for many miles ; but small par cels are now and then sent by private horse transport. Thus, 356 ounces came from Braidwood, 69 ounces from Major's Creek, 192 ounces from Sofala, 5 ounces from Bathurst, and 12 ounces from Hartley. The supply of wheat to the Sydney markets had of late been limited. The prices, however, remained unaltered, best samples fetching Bs. 6d. middling 7s. 6d. per bushel. Flour, too, remains at the last quotations of 231. fine, and 211. seconds, per ton. Bread was selling generally at 6d. the 21b. loaf. The prices of butcher's meat at the Sydney slaughter-houses were—beef id., mutton lid., wholesale ; and in retail — beef 2d. to 3d., mutton 2d. to 3d., veal 3d. to 6d., and pork sd. to 6d. per lb. Fowls old at 2s. 6d. ducks at 55., geese at 65., bacon at Bd., lard at sd. The prices of fu el were high. Coals sold at 31. to 31. 10s. per ton, with an upward tendency; charcoal at ls. per bushel ; firewood at 10s. to 18s. per loml—the price depending not IQ /Each either upon the THE MEG/ERA. The following is an extract from a letter from an officer of H.M.S. Megnra, dated Spithead, Dee. 13 : "We anchored at Spithead to-day (Monday), having been lately employed in relieving detachments of Royal Artillery at the West Indian Windward Islands. The Meora left Spithead Oct. 6, arriving at Barbadoes on the 27th day. She afterwards proceeded to Tobago, . Trinidad, and Grenada. Amongst the passengers who have come home from the latter place are the widow and two daughters of the late Colonel Williams, R.A. "On the 16th of November her Majesty's ship Daunt less arrived at Barbadoes, last from St. Thomas ; 18 deaths had occurred from yellow fever. On the 18th (the day upon which we sailed for England) the remain ing patients had been sent to sick quarters, and were nearly all convalescent. Captain Halsted, however, contemplated landing the whole crew, General Wood having with great kindness and alacrity placed b arrac k accommodation at his disposal. "The Megmra has proved herself a very much better ship than her officers anticipated. She has gone under sail alone 12.5 knots an hour, and nine knots under steam, without sail ; the bad qualities she is said to pos sess have not been developed during this voyage. Fiv e hundred and sixty gallons of fresh water have been pro cured from Grant's galley daily, and on the outward passage no other water was used, although every person on board watt allowed 1 3 / 4 gallons per diem.", FL OM THE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDA 17, OSBORNE-HOUSE, DEC. 9.
