ANNEXATION OF CRACOW, (From the Tones.) One of the first speeches made by Lord Palmerston upon his return to office last summer contained an em phatic declaration in Parliament, that the Northern Powers would do well to remember that the great public treaties, which are the basis of political society in Eu rope,l.'are no less binding on the Vistul a than they are uponfthe Rhine and on the Po. The Northern Powers have, however, taken so little account of this declaration,sae that they have not hesitated to p er p etrate on that m Vistula the most flagrant, direct, and unwarrantable vio lation of the Treaty of Vienna which has Europe. ever yet been attempted by any of the Governments Im portant changes have, indeed, beforebeenof effected in the i provisions of that important ns trumentby the irresistible force of events, which have subsequently been ratified or accepted by the consent of the five great Powers. But the policy of the three Northern Courts towards Poland, dud especially towards the " free, independent, and strictly neutral city" of Cracow, forms a signal exception to this rule. Russia, Austria, and Prussia have carried on their work of spoliation and oppression alone by the gradual violation of every pledge under 4 which Cracow was assigned to their protection, and the systematic subversion of every institution which might have made that city prosperous and free; they have now crowned these encroachments by the total annihilation of the republic itself, the absorption of its territory, and the unflinching violation of all the treaty engagements by which the existence of that last fragment of the Polish commonwealth was guaranteed. And these are the pro tecting Powqrs to whose care the city and territory of Cracow were assigned in trust ! Since the Congress of Vienna no act has ever been consummated more thoroughly revolutionary in its spirit, or more subversive of that general principle by which the existing territorial ar rangements of the Continent - are upheld. Cracow was, knsdeed, almost the least of the independent States of Europe, hardly exceeding in size those free cities of Germany whose political existence rests upon the foun dation of the German Confederation. But if we required evidence of the political significance of this little re public, which concentrated in itself all that remained of Polish independence, we should find such proof in the extraordinary care with which the State of Cracow was determined by the Congress of Vienna, and in the extraordinary perseverance, deceit, and audacity which have been employed in the destruction of that work. In all the several treaties signed on the 3d of May, 1815, between Russia, Austria, and Prussia, hav ing reference to Polish affairs, the independence and neutrality of Cracow was solemnly proclaimed. In the additional treaty of the same date between the same three powers the first article runs thus : " The city of Cracow, with its territory, shall be re garded in perpetuity as a free, independent, and strictly neutral city, under the protection of the three high con tracting parties." The subsegnent articles of the same treaty determined the extent of its neutral and independent territory ; se cured the entire freedom of its commerce, as well as that of the adjoining Austrian town of Podgorze ; for bade'the introduction of an armed force under any pre text wha,tever ; and, finally, conferred on the city a free constitution, which was textually inserted in the addi tional treaty. " A copy of these articles," says the 18th clause, "is to be solemnly deposited in the archives of the free city of Cracow, as a permanent proof of the generous prin ciples adopted towards it by the three high Powers." All the most important of these clauses, and especially those touching the freedom, independence, and strict neutrality of Cracow, were formally repeated in the ge neral act of the Congress of Vienna, signed on the 9th of Jane, 1813, by the Plenipotentiaries of all the Powers; and it was, moreover, provided by the 118th article of that treaty, that the separate treaties relating to Cra e.ow, &c., " should be considered as integral parts of the arrangedients of the Congress, and have everywhere the same force and value as if they were inserted word for word in the general treaty." Never were engagements more precise or more solemn. Never have such engage ments been flung to the winds with more thorough in difference. If these clauses are so worthless that the three Powers of the North may complete their work of destruction in Poland by the direct and open annihila tion of Cracow, there is not an engagement in the treaty of Vienna which can stand against the will of any Power disposed to break it, and to talk of the faith of treaties is an extravagant fiction. They, be it remembered, have set the example on the Vistula ; let them not be surprised if it be imitated elsewhere. They have, however, arrived at this determination by slow steps ; and more than ever we must now regret that there was no diplomatic agent of England on the spot to mark from the first the whole tendency of these changes. In 1833 the three protecting powers began by substituting a new constitution for that which had been incorporated in the treaties of Vienna, and thus transferring the supreme power from the magis trates of the city to their own Residents. In 1836, upon the most frivolous pretences, the city was occupied by Austrian troops; false reports of disturbances and re volutionary schemes were studiously promulgated by the Austrian police; and 200 or 300 victims were dragged .without trial from the neutral territory and banished to Western Europe or America. At Tceplitz, in the same year, a proposition is said to have been made to Austria to annex the city to her empire, but at that time the offer was declined. The events in Poland and Galicia in the spring of the present year appear to have conquered this repugnance of the Court of Vienna. Caused, as those events undoubtedly were, by the misgovernment and incapacity of the Austrian authorities exaggerated to the last degree by the servile newspapers of Germany, which are wholly under Austrian control and augmented by the gross misconduct of the Austrian troops, who were terrified by the lies of their own police, the dis turbances of last February are the pretext for trampling on the last remnant of Polish nationality, and breaking the last promise of mercy made to Poland. The Aus trian Government has shown the world in its own pro • vince of Galicia to what brutal hands that portion of the spoil of Poland was consigned. The city of Cracow is now, it appears, to be annexed to it. The statesmen who have literally repeated the sanguinary trick of the an s assacre of Se. Bartholomew, by arming and inciting one class of society against the other, are to turn the palace of the Jagellons into Austrian barracks, and to guard the tombs of John Sobieski and Kosciu-ko ! This is. indeed, the last insult to the Polish name. Under Russian authority Cracow might have had at least a tranquil subjection ; under Prussia the city might have enjoyed the protection of a firm and honest adrninistra• tion ; under that rule which has so lately covered Ga licia with ruin and bloodshed, Cracow and Poland are condemned to sink beneath the feeblest of their foes. But whilst we feel the itrowest commiseration for the fate of this unhappy city, which has literally been persecuted to the death, and whilst we abhqr this repetition of the partition of Poland on the kat fragment of Polish territory, the nature of the transaction, the violation of the treaty, and the insolent indifference to the voice of public opinion and the claims of Western Europe, are even more important in our eyes than the act itself. Nor can we shake off the sus picion that the Northern Powers would not have dared to strike such a blow at the established order of Europe without at least the secret acquiescence of the French Government. We shall see the result ; we shall see whether the Court of the Tuileries is prepared to descend to the base conspiracies of Laybach and Verona, formed for the destruction of the liberties of Europe. We have not yet learned to think so meanly even of our opponents. But this thing will put it to the proof. France is pledged with England to uphold the treaties of 1815 ; France is more earnestly devoted than England herself to that Cause of Poland, which she celebrates by an annual pro testation of her Legislature. W e s h a ll see by the con duet of France with reference to the annexation of Cracow, whether the sacrifice of her independent judgment is already made, or whether she r e p u di a t es and resists the resuscitated policy of the Holy Alliance. King Louis Philippe has miscalculated his strength if he hopes to bend the spirit of the French nation to so de grading a compact. SOUTHWARK LITERARY INSTITUTION.—A grand evening concert for the benefit of Miss Fanny Wheadon, was given yesterday evening within the theatre of this institution, and we were glad to perceive that the enter tainments promised had the effect of drawing together a large and most respectable audience. Mr. 11. S, May, presided at the grand piano -forte, and in addition to Mr. Hill, and Mi. - John Parry, Mr. Leffler very kindly ren dered his invaluable services. The lady singers were Misses Howard, Cubitt, Martingale, and Wheadon. Where a? was first-rate it would be idle to particularise, but we cannot resist noticing Mr. John Parry's "Lon don Season," and Leffler's " Lads of the Village." Miss Cubitt sings some charming airs, rendered still more pleasing by the grace and good humour with which she met the wishes of all present who tried her rather severely. The evening passed off most happily. DEATH OF MR. RICHARD YOUNGE, THE COME DIAN.—This esteemed performer, who was many years at Drury-lane Theatre, but latterly almost exclusively at the minors, expired yesterday (Tuesday), after an illness of some continuance, at his residence in Warren street, White Conduit-street, Pentonville. Mr. Younge embraced the stage at a very early age, acting at New castle and other theatres in the North, and having created a considerable impression, he was engaged in the York circuit, where he remained many seasons. Here he met the daughter of Mrs. Harlowe (who now, in her 81st year, is still in the enjoyment of good health), by whom Mr. Younge had several children, three of whom are living. Mrs. Younge died some years since. Mr. lunge's success in York attracted the attention of Elliston, who was scouring the provinces for actors and actresses. Mrs. H. Hughes, Messrs. Rayner, Browne, Sherwin, Archer, and many others made their first bow at Drury-lane, where Mr. Youngs appeared in season 1822-23 as Ingo to the Othello of Kean ; he was emi nently successful, but his great namesake, Charles Young, was that season engaged, and the new actor sunk down to parts of minor importance. His last engage merit was at the City of London Theatre, under the di rection of Mr. R. Donner. His voice became affected, and as he was getting almost inaudible, he retired from the stage. Not without prolonged application did he get upon the Drury-lane Fund, the annuity from which he has not lived many months to enjoy. About two years deceased Y oungs M r .

NOTICE. -THE NELSON LETTERS AND DISPATCH ES, ARE NOW COMPLETED, Ity the Publication cf the Seventh Volume. Subscribers are therefore requested to complete thsir s without tate. The Repeal Committee axe to prepare Bills for presentation to Parliament on the follpwing subjects:— , .• and magnanimity ? It it not a principle the most subversive of generous legislation ? Is it not opposed to the very radix, of civil liberty and national inde pendence? The proposition fur the annexation of the republic of Cracow to the dominions of Austria is one of the most execrable and flagrant violations of justice ever adventured upon since the odious dismemberment of Poland. Our rulers have now motives for complaining, not merely of the violation of the antiquated treaty of Utrecht, but of the more recent, and, if possible, more solemn treaty of Vienna. In direct opposition to the stipulations of that compact between the assembled sovereigns of Europe, the city of Cracow—the last remnant of dis membered Poland, which was expressly guaranteed its independence, and was committed to the protection of the .northern powers—is about to be sacrificed to the tyranny and dishonesty of its faithless defenders. The northern powers have broken, or are on the eve of breaking, their trust, and that, moreover, under cir cumstances of the most atrocious description. By exciting the people of Galicia to acts of in subordination in February the perfidious Administra tion of Austria has afforded itself an excuse for some decisive movement, and it is now availing itself of the misunderstandings which have arisen between England and France for the realisation of its long-suppressed intentions. Cracow is to be delivered up to the possession of Austria : Russia is to be indemnified by the cession of portions of Galicia : Prussia, as in all similar transactions, being the least influential and powerful of the triumvirate, is to be treated with sovereign indifference, and to receive nothing what ever in the shape of compensation. Such is the programme of the monstrous proceeding by which the engagements of the Congress of 1815 are about to be laughed to scorn. Will the other Powers implicated in those engagements submit quiescently to this villanous transaction ? Will they behold the last vestige of Polish freedom annihilated, and their own character as parties to that destruc tion lost, unmoved ? If such a catastrophe as the one threatened be permitted the most hideous episode in Grecian mythology will be realised, and it , realisation will be on a gigantic scale, and in a civilised age. England and France, by conniving at this final destruction of Poland, will render themselves liable to the most unendurable im putation. After allowing Poland to be torn to pieces and cast, limb by limb, before the northern Powers, they will now to all appearance throw the last mournful fragment of that nation be fore Austria and Russia, to appease the territorial avarice of those empires, or, at the least, to ensure their conciliation. Common sense assures us that this will be the natural deduction, supposing that the Governments of St. James's and the Tuileries wink at such an execrable annexation am, permit such a flagitious violation of faith. Parliament will have to consider this delicate point, and to insist upon the preservation of the engagements o: the allied Monarchs and their plenipotentiaries at Vienna. It is by these incessant and criminal transactions. it is by the trifling away of nationality for the selfisl purpose of individual aggrandisement, that the honour of nations is becoming a by-word, that solemn trea. ties of statesmen and sovereigns are in danger of be. coming as little valued as the husks of corn. If these things meet with incessant connivance, the freedon - . of Europe may be ultimately juggled away, and the liberal spirit of its constitutions be frittered down t( the semblance of its ancient thraldom.

The following extract from a letter, dated Vienna, 7th Noyember, appears in the Nurenzburgh Corres pondent : " The ordonnance issued by the Bavarian Govern ment imposing an ad valorem duty of 25 per cent. on the exportation of corn has produced alarm in the Tyrol, inasmuch as that province derives the greatest part of its supplies from Bavaria, and at the same time enjoys the advantage of paying only one-half the ordinary en trance duties of Austria. Our Government has, with great regret, been forced to depart from its principle of not fettering the corn trade, and has also put restrictions on exportation." • RAILWAY SHARES BY PUBLIC SALE.

" Quarters at Cintra, Nor. 7, 1846. " I hasten to bring to your Excellency's knowledge, that having set out at seven o'clock this morning from Agualva, I took the road to Cintra, and at eight we first saw the rebel position, on the road between the quintas of Quadros and Ignacio de Barron. As these quintas are thickly wooded, I caused three discharges of musketry to be made, as well to dislodge the enemy as to reconnoitre their strength ; and as I saw that they held to the same positions, leaving my piece of artillery and baggage in a strong position, I ad vanced with the rest of my force, the first column by the quinta of Ignacio, commanded by me, the second by Captain Alvares, of the 10th Infantry, to turn the quinta of Quadros. We had no sooner compelled them to evacuate their positioas after a short fusillade, than a furious tempest delayed us somewhat in our march up the ' rugged mountain (the broken character of the famous Serra ofCintra is wellknown); and,unhappily, being well acquainted with the ground, they had time to retire up the Serra. I marclaed on to San Pedro (a portion of the Serra, on the Lisbon extremity of the town), in which position, naturally one cf extreme strength, and well fortified by them, they awaited our advance. I attacked immediately, which the infantry did with the utmost ardour, notwithstanding that the enemy defended the road with a very strong fire, and we immediately had one soldier killed and five wounded. Nothing, how ever, could detain our soldiers, though the rebels amounted to 400 or 500 men, of whom 150 were regularly armed, and the rest had fowling-pieces and . pikes. The fire lasted for five hours end a half, in which we gained ground on them foot by foot to the Serra, and routed them entirely, the remainder flying in every direction. I cannot yet state with exactness the loss of the enemy, which must be very great, the fatigue of the soldiers having prevented me from verifying it. On this occasion I must notice with great praise the con duct of Lieutenant Bandeira, of the extinct battalion of the Queen's Volunteers, who on this occasion joined the Municipal Guard, assisted me to the utmost of his power, as a cavalry officer, and after haring had his horse wounded under him, advanced on foot at the head of the infantry; likewise of Captain Pimental, of the Municipal Guard, who charged by the straight road to Setiaes, cutting down the rebels, in which charge nine were killed, of whom three fell by his own hand; also of the second lieutenant and sergeant of artillery, who, after making the greatest efforts to use that arm, advanced sword in hand to the charge with the cavalry; and of Lieutenant Veripenio, who conducted himself with great courage. " God guard your Excellency. "B. A. ILIIARCO, Major. " To the Baron Sarmento." On looking through the general intelligence whit has just reached us from Ireland, we are agreeably pleased to observe that no fresh instance of disturb ance or riot has occurred, having any relation to the dearth of food or want of employment This is a cir • cumstance upon which we have hitherto been unablt to congratulate the public, since the first outbreak that equally established the alarm of tht people and the presence among them of actual destitution. The fact we allude to is t• wholesome sign that the spirit of insubordination, which it was not long since feared might spread itsel to an uncontrollable degree, is in a great measurt quelled. We are not as yet sanguine enough to be lieve that the public tranquillity will not be agait partially compromised ; but even if we should not bt mistaken (and we sincerely trust we may), the saint firmness, if necessary, and the same practical re buke, which the Lord-Lieutenant recently adrninis• tered to the insurgents, will operate as a salutary check. The Board of WTorks have already suc• ceeded in swelling the list of their employed to 150,000, thus demonstrating an activit.) on the part of the officials which cannot be too highly lauded. The enormous expenditure, which is being here in incurred, lead many to think that the resources will soon be dried up, and that it will be found impossible to find permanent employment foi the stricke n population, so as to carry them throne the winter.. We do not share in this despondency . Whilst foe d was scarce, its prices high, the people generally ;unemployed, and before voluntary relief could shape, itself into something like a system, (which, to be effective, must necessarily be the case, where the field of commiseration is so extensive as 'reit mil presents to our view at thi moment), it could not be otherwise in the. outset than that the Board of Public Work, should draw largely upon the public finances, to be hereafter re paid by the lands upon which they are being respectively allocated. Looking, moreover, to the urgent econdition of the impoverished and perish ing people, .certain abuses, in the earlier stages of thi: vast operati •n, could not, without a miracle, be pre vented from t creeping in. These, however, have been quickly discerned, and are being judiciously suppressed. Thus, many have been receiving wages uni ler public authority whose real circumstance s were not sufficiently stringent to entitle then a to such a method of remune ration. Al gain, farmers could not secure la bour to til 11 their acres, in consequence of the preference 3 vhich the labourers felt for bestowing their toil on public works. According to one official notice, the fait -at class will be rapidly weeded out from the Governna ant list, and, by virtue of another, the farmers have only to intimate to the stewards their want of hand s, and disposition to pay fair wages, and the compleris ent of labour they require will be forth with at the command ; since, in case the persons selected should refuse the occasional employment offered by the farmers, they would be imme diately disci] arged by the officers of the public works. But now ti tat food is becoming cheaper, that large openings fa employment are being made under the joint auspic .s of public and private undertakings, and, above all, tit at landlords are becoming aware that by themselves. r oust the expense of feeding and employing the destit utt 3 be chiefly and justly borne, and of the consequent importance of distributing the physical energies cf ti tie distressed in channels of reproductive industry, we see good reason for believing that these circumstance s, with the benefit of voluntary relief superaddod, will have the desired effect of succourin g t . he Irish from the distress which, it is thought by r early, unreflectingly, as it seems to us, must inesita oly overtake them before long. The R epe al Association met on Monday. A Roman Catholic bi shop was present,' the Right Rev. Dr, BROWNE 3ishop of Elphin). It was the first time a bishop h ad been seen in Conciliation Hall. The novelty w as warmly acknowledged. The Bishop assured tb e meeting of the approval with which the enti re body of the Roman Catholic clergy viewed I she " moral force " principles of Mr. O'Cosas 11 The conduct of " Young Ireland " was se vel rely censured by his Lordship. The rent for ' the week amounted to 3721. From Boston alone s $ -contribution of 2001. was received. These Transe tie ntic donations are invidiously regarded by some, mil an undue importance of a political charac ter is Kttempted to be attached to them. For our part, ve see nothing objectionable in them. Thou sands of Irish flock to the American continent, and it is n unnatural that, credulous enough to fancy repeal would render their country happy and pros perous 1, they should follow the bent of mistaken patrio ssm, and occasionally remit to the exchequer of the I lssociation. Mr. O'CONNELL entered into a warm defence of his conduct towards his tenantry, towart Is whom he appears to have acted with great liberal ity and kindness. By the large and propor tional abatement he has made in his rents, and the pawnt ity of food he has purchased, he has set an e ele wllieh other landlords would do well to ital.. Madrid papers of the 11th inst. have been received. They contain the address of the Progresisita Com mittee to the electors. The pledges they require from candidates are, that they shall defend individual liberty, freedom of the press, and of the jury; that they shall demand the institution of a national mi litia, and insist on the extinction of tithes and the in troduction of economy in the public expenditure. MADRID BoLsa.—The Three per Cents. were done at 334 for cash ; the Four per Cents. at 21i ; the Five per Cents. at 214 ; the Coupons at 20 ; the Vales at 84 ; and the Debt without Interest at 64. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. On Sunday, at a Cabinet Council held at St. Cloud, and presided over by the KING in person, M. GUIZOT'S reply to Lord PALMERSTON'S last note was read and approved of. It was to be transmitted to the Mar quis of NORMANDY on Monday. It is evident, from the comments which appear in the Legitimatist journals on the observations of the Dynastic press on the marriage of the Duc DE BOR DEAUX, that the Legitimatists still indulge in the hope of a second restoration. The Quotidienne says, in allusion to the observations of the Journal des Debats en this subject-- " All that we have done for the last few days was to show the political importance of the marriage of the Count de Chambord. It is now clearly demonstrated. The attack serious, the attack ironical, the attack facetious and burlesque, the attack revolutionary and dynastic, nothing is wanting. The Journal des Debats has completed the evidence. There is a point in which the Doctrinaire Government imprudently enough betrays its emotion—viz., the question of right, of which nobody had yet spoken. The Duke de Bordeaux (says the Debats) has no right, he can transmit no right, the younger branch has no desire that he should die with out posterity. Gentlemen of the Ministry, you are losing your senses. Who brought the question of right under discussion? You betray feelings respecting which no provocation was given to you.' " After a few further comments, the article thus concludes : "In the trouble evinced by the Government, there is a premeditation of malice; it is revealed in what is said by the Ministerial journal about the last pretender of the Stuarts, who died at Rome in 1820. But ought it not to have spoken of the succession of agony which the house of Hanover paid for the succession to the throne, and the circumstances by which it was more than once on the point of being precipitated from it? When his tory is cited the instructive parts of it should not be con cealed; neither should there be false, impossible, and ►bsu rd analogies. The Journal des _Mats knows whether there is the least similitude between the revo lution of 1830 and that of 1688. In each case a crown fell, it is true. But in the one case by an exertion of aocial and political power; in the other it was swept away by a storm. When the "Mats shall have placed France at the point of greatness, dignity, liberty, prosperity, and security, we will permit it to talk of pretenders who died cardinals. Until then we shall see ,n allusions of this kind only the indication of a personal malevolence of very bad taste." The Due DE BOURDEAUX is meanwhile taking ad vantage of every opportunity to present himself and his pretensions in a favourable point of view before :he French people. He has evidently some shrewd advisers about him, and has the wisdom to adopt their suggestions. The following letter to the Marquis of PASTORET, dated Frohsdorf, October 30th, which is published in all the Legitimatist journals, is an ad mirable piece of diplomacy. He has here absolutely anticipated the Government in providing for the re lief of public misery:— "Monsieur le Margais,—You know that I desire ‘bove all to signalise by succour to the indigent classes -he happy epoch of my marriage, and my thanks to Divine Providence for having removed all the obstacles which have hitherto opposed it. Although compelled to -eside in a foreign land, I cannot be insensible to the nisfortunes of my own country. Reflecting upon the learness of provisions and the just alarm which that Arcumstance must excite for the rigorous season on Nhich we are about to enter, I have sought how I could contribute to the relief of the public misery. It has up neared to me that the best use to be made of the sums of ,vhich I can dispose is to establish at Chambord, and in he forests which still belong to us, charitable establish ments for labour (des a4tiers de charit4), which in ffering to the poor inhabitants of the district certain abour during the approaching winter, will furnis h them .v ith the means of providing for their wants and those of heir families. I charge you, then, to adopt the nem try measures for the execution of a project which I ,hould like to see extended to the whole of France.

Francal:;, the bands of armed mendi cants were increasing to a frightful extent, and, not- withstanding the activity of th,- gendarmes, conti nued their depredations. This jacquerie has extended to the neighbourhood of Beauvais, where, on the night of the 11 th inst., a band of eleven persons, amongst whom were several women disguised in men's clothes, traversed the districts of Formery and Marseille, carrying away everything they could lay their hands on. The gendarmes of Marseille, how ever, sallied out in pursuit of them, and succeeded, ' after some resistance, in arresting three women, whom they escorted to Beauvais and committed to prison. The sword of the brigadier was broken in the collision with these mendicants. Marshal BUGEAUD, Duke d'lsly, arrived at Algiers on the sth inst., in the Cameleon steamer, together with his family. During his passage, and for a short time after his landing, the Marshal suffered from indisposition ; but, at the time of the departure of the mail, all serious symptoms had disappeared. We find the following in the Constitutionnel:— " We a few days back expressed an opinion that the Government would not engage in any expedition against Madagascar, at least for the present. Our presumptions appear to be in a course of realisation, as a part of the vessels on the station in these lati tudes are said to have been recalled." The Journal des Debats publishes a letter from Perpignan of the 11th, which states that a band of Carlists, 47 in number, had been arrested at Urbanya, that eight more had been arrested at Carcasonne, and 27 more at Narbonne. There were several officers among them. A depot of arms had been seized at Quillen. The same letter states that it was reported at Perpignan, that the Carlist chief, TRIS TANY, had been taken and shot. A Carlist chief, named Buxoo, was arrested at Vich on the 4th.

THE POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY FOR 1847. The present Is the forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office London Directory," and a truly marvel lous effort of compilation it is. The " Post. office Directory" has been for some years under the ma• nagement of Mr. Kelly. Until he became the ma nager of this work, there were divers other Directo ries in the field. They have, however, all disappeared, and the " Yost-office Directory" now rules alone. This astonishing success, however, has not had the effect of making the proprietor of this gigantic work careless. He is too thorough a man of business not to be perfectly aware that the fruits of his success can only be reaped by a continuance of the same untiring energy by which the success was in the first instance achieved, and accordingly we find that the " Post-office Directory" for 1847, is even more highly finished in all its elaborate arrangements than any former edition of the book. The extent and minuteness of the details furnished render the work indispensable to every com mercial and mercantile establishment. So admirably, however, is this multifarious information digested and arranged, that there' is not the slightest difficulty experienced in referring to the particular page re quired to furnish the information—a marvellous instance of clearness of arrangement in a work con sisting of upwards of two thousand closely but clearly-printed octavo pages. Its contents are ar ranged under various heads, as, for instance, the Official Directory, the Street Directory, the Com mercial Directory, the Trades Directory, the Law Directory, the Court Directory, the Parliamentary Directory, the Postal Directory, the City Directory, the Conveyance Directory, the Banking Directory, and some others. Many important alterations have been in troduced into the Postal Directory. The new postal treaty with Prussia, which comes into operation on the Ist January next, will effect very considerable changes in the rates of postage to places in the Aus trian dominions, Baden, Bavaria, Bremen, Denmark, the German States, Hamburgh, Hanover, Lubeck, Mecklenburgh, Oldenburgh, Poland, Prussia, Russia, Saxony, Sweden and Norway, Wirtemburgh, &c. &c. These changes are fully detailed in the Postal Di. rectory of the present volume. The work, more over, is illustrated by a clearly engraved and accu rately drawn map of London in 1847, on a scale of three inches to the mile. This Directory is certainly the most complete work of the sort ever offered to the public. Of not only the usefulness, but the indis pensable necessity of such a work, no man of business can for a moment entertain a doubt ; and, considering the completeness and fulness of the information fur nished, and the enormous outlay of time and of capital that must have been made in order to acquire and digest the information, the very reasonable price at which the work is published is really wonderful.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE. THIS DAY. Nlorning .. 14 minute's after 1. Evening .. 33 minutes after 1. 4 1 4 A tr. , 2 m ! J AUL LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1846, European relations must henceforth be conducted upon an entirely now and unprecedented principle. Instead of inuring the friendship of neighbouring states by mutual compromises, either political, mone tary, territorial, or commercial, statesmen have latterly done so by nothing more extraordinary than simple match-making. In emulation, possibly, of the feudal custom, whereby the resident peasantry of an estate were transferred from one landlord to another, together with the soil, of which they were as much the appurtenance as the browsing and ruminating cattle, the Cabinets of this hemisphere have recently endeavoured to dispose of an entire people as the mere dowry or dotation of Infantas and Royal Highnesses. Beyond this striking innovation in international diplomacy, there are others of a subsidiary character which would have been creditable to the "Prince of MACHIAVELLI." Our allusion will be immediately comprehended on the enumeration of a few circumstances which have already acquired such miserable noto riety, and the mere intelligence of which has ex cited such universal execration. In the country of CALDERON and SAAVEDRA we have seen the national 'ibex ties bartered to an avaricious Government for the questionable advantage of a compulsory husband ; or, at the most moderate calculation, we have seen the preservation of the Spanish nationality risked upon a precarious but probable contingency. In the cowl , try of CAMOENS we have seen the will of the population derided by the expulsion of a popular Ministry, and the forcible substitution of one subser vient to the wishes of an adjacent Sovereign ; we have seen a repetition of the court emeutes, which were of such incessant occurrence at Madrid during the pro fligate dictatorship of EMANUEL GODOY ; we have seen a repetition of those disgraceful intrigues in the State Chambers of Lisbon. We are beholding at this mo ment A strenuous effort at the military subjugation of the Portuguese ; we are receiving by every addi tional pv.cket accounts of the sanguinary contests between those engaged in this civil warfare. By the latest intelligence we are informed of the continued bombardment of Evora, and of the systematic blockade of the r iver Douro. All these deplorable calamities have berm entailed upon an unoffending community by the unjustifiable and unconstitutional interfer ence or a foreign Power.

Sales 4,000 bales, including 500 American for export, and 500 on speculation. Brazil sold at 7d. and 7i-d,; Egyptian at 7*(l. to Bd.; Surat at 4d. to 41d.; and Ame rican at sd. to 7d. per lb. Shares were steay, with a moderate business doing. The sal© of railway shares, yesterday, at Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s, went off with spirit, and previous rates were fully realised. A large business was done. The following are a few of the principal sales : Great North of India £0 4 0 Manchester and Southampton, 1847 1 14 6 Leicester and Bedford Paris and Lyons 4 18 0 Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorset Shropshire Union and Canal Cornwall and Devon Central ... 1 15 6 East Indian Namur and Leige Shrewsbury and Birmingham Calcutta and St. George's Point 0 3 6 Louvain ala Sambre 1 15 6 Direct Northern (scrip) 1 19 0 Yorkshire and Glasgow Union Grand Union 0 14 0 South Wales Caledonian South-Eastern and Dover, No. 4 Taw Vale Extension and Dock 0 19 0 Churnet and Blythe Oxford, Witney, and Cheltenham 0 10 0 The last accounts from Brazil state that there had been an alteration in the currency laws, which was ex pected to be favourable to the exchange, the price of gold being better regulated. Letters and papers to Sept. 18, have been received from the Cape of Good Hope, which certainly do not report very favourably of our progress against the Kafirs. The latter continued, with some success, their depreda tions upon the cattle of the frontier farmers, being themselves sorely pushed for supplies of food, owing to the long continued drought, and there was no hope of bringing them to peace, but by our vigorously prosecuting the war. Colonel Hare, Sir Andreas Stockenstrom, and the Governor, were at the head of very respectable forces, and had formed a chain, in order to encompass the Kafirs, but the country was so exten sive, that great difficulties presented themselves. The next advices, if much later, may bring same decisive news. There has been bad weather in Waterloo Bay, on the eastern coast. Respecting the commerce of the United States, it is mentioned in the advices just come to hand, that there had been a increase compared, with last year in molasses, rice, salt, and tobacco, at New York, but that all the staple articles of foreign importation had fallen off, some of them very largely. The imports, even under the warehousing system, had been small during the past fall, and the packets recently arrived from Europe had but limited freight lists. During the first nine months of 1845, the imports into New York were valued at 57,537,312 dollars, and this year at 58,766,934 dollars. The excess of imports this year into New York, over the exports from the same place, have been to the amount of 35,138,225 dollars. It is important to notice these particulars, because they serve to elucidate in part the present doubt as to whether there will be much specie required for exporta tion from England to America, in payment for grain. The English Stock market continues to wear a steady appearance, and money has been offered for Consols without interest, which indicates that there is a scarcity of stock. In fact, the tendency of the market is decidedly buoyant, notwithstanding the efforts of the Beaesand certain alarmist papers to keep down prices. Consols have realised 941 for Money. Time bargains have not been entered into to any extent. Exchequer-bills have been quoted at 9s. to 12s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 95 1 Bank Stock was dull. The Foreign Stock Market is still in a heavy con dition. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 26, and the Three per Cents. 371. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been flat, at 361- to 37. Mexican Bonds have been at 22 to 22 1 1. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 594. Railway Shares are, upon the whole, rather easier to buy. There are exceptions, however, and among them North Stafford, Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton, Scottish Midland, Churnet and Blythe, and South Western. ONE► CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS.
