"By the scheme promoted by the Direct Northern Railway Com pany it is proposed to bring York (to the north of whichclty there is a population exceeding five millions) within the distance (as mea sured by time), of four hours and a half from London ; to reduce by 42 miles the distance now traversed by the existing means of railway communication between those termini ; to lessen the distance as projected by the competing plan least favourable to the public) that of the Eastern Counties Extension by Cambridge and Lincoln) by 21% miles, and as projected by the most favourable rival scheme (that of the London and York) by ten miles ; and yet so to reconcile this result with local wants, as to place, without in any instance sacrificing the principle of directness, every town of importance in the districts to be served by this Company's main line nearer Lon don, either by means of the main line itself, or of well-devised lateral lines, than they are by the 'theme of the London and York, which, for the sake of passing through certain towns, pneues a devious route to York, thereby inflicting a serious injury on the country north of the Humber. " Thus the scheme of the Direct Northern Railway offers to the North of England, and to all Scotland, advantages presented by no other project whatever. These advantages it also immediately con veys to Bedford, St. Neots, Huntingdon, Peterborough, Stamford, Grantham, Newark, Lincoln, East Retford, Sheffield, Gainsborough, Doncaster, Pontefract, Selby, and Hull ; whilst it lessens by twenty eight miles the route to Leeds, the great manufacturing capital of Yorkshire, itself rapidly becoming the centre of an important railway system. With perfectly unexceptionable gradients, that in no case ex ceeded 1 in 200, with upwards of misty .nine miles of level on its main line, with no works of any engineering difficulty or of peculiarly ex pensive execution, with only 3,900 yards of tunnelling in eight tun nels, with no opening or swing bridges, with only one viaduct, and that of 500 yards, and with remarkably easy curves, the Direct North ern Railway, whilst its primary object is to unite in the directest manner London and York, will at the same time serve a rich, fertile, and populous country, will reciprocate the advantages of easy and inexpmslve communication between the manufacturing towns of the north and the agricultural and grazing counties of eastern and central England, and will connect by the shortest route the south of England and the continent of Europe with York, the north of England, and Scotland.

The shareholders will observe the suggestion made by Mr. Miller, which proposes to introduce a new element of safety, regularity, and speed into ra lway travelling, by the conveyance of passengers and goods upon separate lines. This suggestion will, no doubt, receive the consideration due to its importance in the ensuing session. " The Committee entirely concur with Mr. Miller in the important bearing which the Holborn Terminus project has on the Direct Northern. It is in effect, though under different management, an ex tension of that line into the heart of London. By its means the London Terminus of the Direct Northern Railway will be immediately avail able for the Post-office and the City of London generally (between Furnival's•inn and Gray's-inn-lane), and will itself form a portion of one side of the widest thoroughfares in London, will be in the immediate vicinity of the Courts of Law and Inns of Court, and comes more into the heart of London, with less sacrifice of valuable property, than any metropolitan terminus which has been suggested. " In accordance, therefore, with Mr. Miller's recommendation, and in pursuance of the powers entrusted to them by their proprie tary, the Committee have taken steps to secure control over this project, satisfied that it affords the most central, and, at the same time, the most accessible and least expensive London terminus.

" Up to the 30th of November, all the standing orders of Parlia ment have been complied with ; and the solicitors report their per ability to fulfil all that remains to be completed within the time limited by the Legislature. " Thus prepare - d, ant with deposits paid, and the proper deeds signed by a body of most responsible Shareholders, the Com mittee intend to make their application to Parliament at the earliest possible day, confident that a project of such undoubted public utility as the Direct Northern, in which the public service itself is deeply interested, will there receive what it only needs to ensure its success —a fair and impartial hearing." The following tables, appended to the Report of the Company's Engineer (John Miller, Esq.), will show the relative advantages of the Direct Northern in point of distances, as compared with its com petitors for legislative sanction, and with existing lines. It may here be observed, that the distance between the cross of St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, and the centre of the Great Tower of York Minster, as measured along the earth's surface, is, according to the Ordnance Survey, 920,108.7 feet, or very nearly 174►( miles; an 1 that the main line of the Direct Northern, between London and York, is 176 miles.

POST -OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY for 1846. The earliest copy of the work has been but a few da y s i ssued , and the following reviews have already appeared in the leading metropo litan journals:— SUN, December 27, 1845. This work has now reached the forty-seventh annual edition, and, to the credit of Mr. Kelly, the proprietor, who has spared no expense or labour in the compilation, keeps progress with the times, and marks, more than any similar publication, the great changes which have taken place, not only in our trade and commerce, but in the appearance and extent of this vast metropolis. Ito other nation could furnish materials for such a work, and to these is the compiler partly indebted for such a mass of useful information, useful, not to a few classes only, but to the whole community. There is not one class in the community to which some of the directions are not ab solutely necessary. It extends to 2,074 pages, printed in a close, but clear and bold type, and is accompanied by a beautiful, minute, and as far as we have had an opportunity of judging, a correct map of all the streets of London, with the names of each distinctly marked. The work does great credit to Mr. Kelly, and we have no doubt that the excellent manner in which it is prepared, and the information which it conveys, will insure for it universal approbation and com plete success. GLOBE, Jai. 17, 1846. It is only necessary to say of this established work, that it sustains the high reputation for accuracy and comprehensiveness which the former volumes, in Mr. Kelly's hands, at once obtained for it. In fact, to all London residents this annuallas been an indispens able volume. In the present year several improvements have been added. TIMES, January 9,.1846 PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS.

This volume unlike many others, as it increases in bulk, increases correspondently in value ; thus every succeeding edition is more valuable than its predecessors, and the book of 1846 contains more information than the book of 1845. The volume for the current year surpasses anything of a similar kind that has ever been offered to the public as a guide-book to the names, occupations, professions, and habitations of the hundreds of thousands of the inhabitants of London, or that has ever yet been issued from the press. In it, whoever has a " local habitation and a name" is noted down—that is, if he be a housekeeper, an office-keeper, or the proprietor or keeper of anything beyond a furnished lodging or the humble oc cupant of an attic. There is an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a " Court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a " Postal Di rectory," a " City Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," a " Banking Directory," and a mass of other matter, explanatory of many things which are nece'sary to be known, and which are net to be found collected together and easily accessible in any other volume. This is the 47th annual publication of the work, which is now so fully established in public estimation, for the accuracy and multi plicity of its intelligence, requisite for every class and for every day, that to be without it is almost an imputation on the common sense of all persons connected with the trade of London or the common business of life. MORNING HERALD, December 27, 1845. This excellent work, the 47th edition of which has just reached ns, keeps pace with the commercial requirements of the times. The " Post Office Directory" of some twelve years since, and the "Post Office Directory" for the coming year present a remarkable contrast. Then it was confined to a meagre list of names, comprised within a circle of two or three miles, and might have been put very conveniently into one's coat pocket. Year after year it has increased in size, and added various and valuable stores of information to its columns ; its hundreds of pages have grown into thousands, and it now embraces the metropolis and its suburbs, from north to south, east and west, and comprises within its voluminous pages of information (now absolutely indispensable to the merchant and tradesman) an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a " Commercial Directory, " a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a "Court Directory," a "Parliamentary Directory," a "Postal Directory," a " City Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," a " Booking Directory," and A Variety of other copious lists of information, the mere transcription Of which would occupy considerable time.. Its list of "Provincial Inns" extends over 31 pages of three columns each. ; its " Post Office London Official Directory" over 48 pages, twenty-eight of which are of four and twenty of two columns each ; its "Street Directory" 472 pages of three columns each; its "Commercial and Professional Directory" 504 pages of two columns each ; its " Trade Directory" 623 pages of three columns each ; its " Law Directory " 64 pages ; " Court Directory " 110 pages ; " Parliamentary Directory" 36 pages ; " Postal Directory " (most elaborately compiled) 67 pages, &-e. This portion of the work has been much enlarged and improved. It now supplies us with the hour of delivery of the London leittrs at each town and village in 'heaocuhse, place and ; the a the United Kingdom at which there id Post-office or Receiving lsotimthe time at which thofeealcehttefrr-obnioat the f.o putt town throughr London closes at distance which the London letters are transmitted. We also obSeße that the valuable Map of London, which has for some years past accompOied the volume, and which has been frequently much improved, is ren dered still more valuable in the present edition. The names of each street are most distinctly printed, and we hesitate not to state that it is one of the best Maps of London extant. The Work is printed in a clear bold type. We can scarcely think it requires special re commendation, for no man who really has business to transact can well do without it. MORNING CHRONICLE, Jan. 17, 340. IN THE ciTv or s.u.NDurr:=-VAITYArr.i! FREELIor The annual volume just published of this laborious and valuable work deserves the same meed of approbation which has peen ,so de servedly bestowed upon its predecessors. In mere size, it is con siderably larger than any of them, not only by the introduction of new information, but in consequence of the yearly growth of the me tropolis, to the avocations and whereabouts of whose inhabitants it is intended to form the " directory." The enormous multitude of facts which are condensed in the bulky volume before us is really over whelming; yet they are not more than are requisite to make the dwellers in our overgrown city duly acquainted with one another's business and residences. The facts are presented in the same available form, and with the same attention to accuracy and recentness of in formation which characterise the volume for 1845, and rendered it a model of perfection as a directory. We observe some useful ad ditions to the contents of the present publication, especially in the section devoted to the Post- office arrangements, which are so rapidly becoming extended lid complicated under the double impulse of new railways and the penny postage. MORNING ADVERTISER. Dee. 24, '1845. This wet., p„.,13..1...1 belly and Co., which has now made its annual appearance for forty-seven ears, is decidedly one of the most useful works of the day. It contains an immense amount of infor mation of the greatest importance to all in any way connected w;th the metropolis. It comprises among other information, an " Official Directory," a "Street Directory," a "Commercial Directory," a "Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a " Court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a " City Directory," a "Postal Direc tory," a "Conveyance Directory," and a " Bank Directory." Under these various divisions will be fbund masses of information, com bining the attributes of accuracy and completeness. The amount of labour bestowed on the compilation of this work must necessarily have been very great, aid nothing but a liberal pi tronage from the public could remunerate the enterprlsing proprietors for their outlay and labour. The " Post-office London Directory" is singularlycheap, considering the nature and quantity of the information it contains. It extends to no fewer than 2,000 large closely-printed pages, in double and treble columns. All things considered, we look upon it as the cheapest, as assuredly it is the most valuable and useful, itnnual work which emanates from the press of England. The map accompanying it appears to us to be mach improved ; it is certainly equally excellent and perfect. WEEKLY DISPATCH, Dec. 28, 1845. PROPERTY, situate No. 91, Bishopsgate-street. MR. W. W.

This colossal guide to the great metropolis is a striking illustration of tha results of British perseverance properly directed, and British capital judiciously employed. For many years the French " Al manack of Fifty Thousand Addresses" was considered one of the wonders of the world; but the Messrs. Kelly have achieved a work which may be aptly termed a wonder upon wonders. Large though the volume be, the mass of information contained in it is traly surprising ; and every department is arranged with so much care, judgment, and accurate discrimination, that the business of reference to its pages is as plain and simple as to a dictionary or lexicon, whose scheme is alphabetical. We have, in this volume, " Official," " Street," " Commercial," " Trades' " " Law," " Court," " Parliamentary," " Postal," " City," " Conveyance," and " Rank ing Directories." But these heads only comprise a portion of the information contained in the work. There are other departments which will be found invaluable to the commercial public. The fol lowing extract from the preface should be quoted :—" The advan tages possessed by the proprietor are of no ordinary character ; the most important being the means placed at his disposal through the favour of her Majesty's Postmaster-General. The General Post letter-carriers, tinder the direction of his Lordship, collect, each in his own district, the information from which the volume is compiled. To ensure accuracy in such a book, the collection of the information should bo simultaneous ; and how completely this is effected, is proved by the fact that an intelligent letter-carrier performs within twenty-four hours all the duties annually required of him for the purposes of the Post Office London Directory." We need not add any recommendation of this work ; its reputation is established on a solid basis. M A l U , .Ter.

A half-yearly meeting of the proprietois of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Sir John Easthope, M.P., in the chair. The SECRETARY, having read the notice convening the meeting, then road the minutes of the last half yearly meeting, which were confirmed. He then read the report of the Directors for the present half-year, which stated that in the mines of Mayes no material changes had been made, and the amount received there from was 18,810 dollars, while the Reyes' Contract would expire in 1852. At Apientes, the claims on the Mexi can Government had been urged by Mr. Beckett, and would, no doubt, be shortly settled. No new mines had been purchased. With respect to the management, a gentleman of much expreience in mining at Asturias had been selected to succeed the late manager of the company's affairs there—Mr. Hoobred, that gentleman being about to return to England. With respect to the management in England, three vacancies had been created by the deaths of Messrs. Humphreys and Bid dulph, and by the resignation of Mr. Majoribanles, Messrs. R. Biddulph, J. Flockton, and J. M. Hoobred were candidates to succeed them. From the financial statement it appeared that there was a balance of 22,605/. 15s. Bd. in the hands of the treasurer. The re port concluded by recommending that a dividend of ss. per share be made on or after the 11th of February next. The CHAIRMAN said, he scarcely know whether ho could add any thing to what the report that had been read to the meeting had stated. If any person present wished for any information on any part of that report, it would be given, and every explanation would be af forded. With respect to the different points of that re port, ho would offer a few observations. It appeared, in the first place, that there was in hand, unencumbered, 16,759/. 13s. 2d., out of which it was proposed to pay a dividend of 10,7931., which was at the rate of ss. per ' share, and to reserve 5 , 000 /. for any contingences that might arise. The amount of interest that had been re ceived was 300/. They had, as th e report stated, not yet been able to make any eng agements for new mines, for Mr. Iloobred, who r e p resented them, could make n o , contract satisfactory to himself. The gentleman who was to succeed him was acquainted with the Spanish language, and bad been engaged in se veral mines in Spain. He had joined them with a desire to put his shoulder to the wheel, and to co-operate with the people. Mr. Hoobred would remain with him for some time to put everything right. He would have no power to make any new engagement, as Mr. Hoobred was authorised to do, but he would com municate with the parties at home, and they would be regulated by the advice of Mr. Hoobred, who possessed a perfect acquaintance with the scene of their opera tions. The debts of the mine had been decreased to 18,800 dollars. There was one other point to which he would advert, that was, the election of their directors. They were aware that vacancies had been created by the deaths of two of their directors, and by the resignation of a third. The plan the directors proposed was, to elect one of their auditors, Mr. Flockton. Mr. Robert Biddulph proposed himself to succeed his father, and would, no doubt, ho acceptable to them, from his qua lifications. The third candidate was Mr. Hoobred, who would leave Mexico in a short time, as had been stated, and come over to England, and take his place amongst them. He would conclude by recommending them to adopt the report. Mr. M'KILLoa proposed a resolution to the effect aenort just read be adopted, and said he thought that the _ - neet every reasonable advantage from the and approved highly of the coa tphreeysenmtigmhaineaxgerne!, auct of the directors not making any new engage ments at the present time.

LAW-WRITERS' (OFFICE-KEEPERS) PROTEC TION SOCIETY. Yesterday aftetnoon a meeting, which had been ad journed from Thursday last, of the iLw-writers' (office keepers) took place at the Ship Taverhichesterßents, Lincoln's Inn. Mr. Gardner in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting, said that they had now met for the purpose of completing that .which they had began, viz., that of forming themselves into a society, to be called The Law-Writers% Office Keepers Protection Society." The Association which they were about to form had for its primary object the employment of those only who, by having served their apprenticeship, or by five years occupation in the profes sion, shall have acquired a competent knowledge of it in its various branches. It was therefore necessary that there should be' a good organization and understanding existing amongst them. Mr. BARNARD said that the formation of snob a society would be the means, not only of keeping their business in the proper channels, viz., the law stationer; and them selves, but would secure to the attorney his work, being accomplished in a business-like and proper manner, and thus prevent the possibility of shareholders in the various railways having their hopt , s frustrated and their expecta tions blighted, by the defeat of Bills before the House, in consequence of the informality and want of correctness in matters of technicality and form, arising from the em ployment of inexperienced persons in the different de partments of writing. Mr. NARSTON observed that office-keepers, who were unbusiness-like enough to employ unqualified persons, did so, to the injury of the trade, as well as the public, for they paid to their labourer a miserable pittance, and, like most work badly paid for, it were better it had not been done at all. Messrs. Charles, Chefferiel, Edmonds, Still, and other office-keepers, addressed the meeting, and the rules and regulations by which the society is to be governed, hav ing been read and agreed to, a finance committee, and the proper officers were appointed, and the society separated. GREEN PEAS IN JANUARY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT). The mildness of the weather has forced on vegetation to a state, that in other years it had not attained in March. In a garden, near West Cowes, there aro three rows of peas in blossom and in pod—they we re planted in October. Broad beans are to be seen in blossom ; and potatoes, which were early planted, are an inch above ground. We cannot expect February and March to pass over without any frosts ; and the first frost will carry destruction with it. At present we hardly feel the loss of the potato-crop, there is such a vast quantity of green vegetables forced into the mar ket. The turnips are all running away, and the land is so sagged with water, the sheep cannot be turned into them, nor can they be carted off. Is this weather they can last but a very short time, and should Febru ary prove what February generally does, it will be serious work R ith the sheep and cattle ; no green fodder can be expected in February, March, and April, and there are no potatoes to fall back upon, as in other years, for man or beast. MINERAL WEALTH OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Intelligence to so recent a date as the 7th of October has been received from Adelaide, by the overland mail. A special survey of 20,000 acres has been secured by the combined efforts of a number of the colonists, who have paid 20,000/., in terms of the last Act, for regu lating the sales of land in the Australian colonies. By this purchase a district of that extent has been ob tained, singularly rich in copper ore. We are particularly pleased that the enterprising co lonists, whose exemplary conduct we have had frequent occasion to commend, have secured this rich prize. It would have been a great pity if they had allowed it to slip through their fingers, even although it had been picked up by our friends, the Australian Mining Com pany. There is, we believe, enough for them in re serve; but they must seek it out, and must not grudge those who have " borne the burden and beat of the day," enjoying the benefit of their own discoveries. The purchase is very satisfactory, too, in another respect. It would never have taken place if the Gover nor had made any reserve of the minerals. By the terms of the Act he was authorised, in the case of special sur veys of 20,000 acres, to impose " such terms and condi tions as to him shall seem meet." We know little more than the fact,of the purchase having been made, the money paid, and lodged by the Governor in the banks ; but we have every reason to believe that the price was twenty shillings per acre, and that certainly the abso lute freehold of the property has been obtained. The value of the purchase cannot be estimated. We have seen a very interesting report, from a scientific gentleman, who accompanied thither some friends who intended to take an interest in the special survey, from which we extract the following account, which might be supposed to be exaggerated, but which, on the contrary, those who knew the writer rely on as a faithful and un questionable account of what he actually saw : " Itemealttess OF COPPER ORE.—Having walked over ficetz' formation, we approached a hill which is al most detached from the main range, and, ascending it from its south-west base, we quickly found ourselves travelling over the older series of rocks, where quartz and greenstone, with fragments of imperfect porphyry, have been thrust up boldly through the old clay-slate ; and there we saw, at almost every step, strong indica tions of the presence of rich copper lodes. " These indications at first appeared to us in the shape of spar, containing crystals of the azure-blue carbonate of copper ; and, as we ascended higher up the hill, we found numerous fragments of grey and green sulphuret or — re c.- attaeneu w quaa to umt gieeostone ; ascending still higher, we found a continuous outcrop of grey sul phuret of copper exhibited on the surface, averaging about eighteen feet in breadth, and extending over the brow of the hill, and down again to the south-eastern base or gully, more than a mile in length. " From this gully another hill arose, which was not so much detached as the first one we inspected, but rather appeared to be a spur from the main range ; and just at the point of junction, where the above-mentioned exten sive outcrop of grey sulphuret cf copper disappeared in the gully, we saw a broad and beautiful display of azure blue carbonate of copper, intermixed with quartz, crop ping out through the surfac", and traceable for upwards of two hundred paces, exposing an average breadth of about fifteen feet. At this place we opened the ground about three or four feet, and found the most favourable indications of a large and regular lode being near at hand—abundance of gossan' presented itself, and masses of spar, con taining highly crystalline carbonate of copper, were fre quently encountered. " We then proceeded higher up the hill, and found, at different elevations, three other distinct and well defined traces of ore : indeed the hills appeared to be full of it I—almost every stone we picked up betrayed either directly or inferentially the presence of rich copper lodes. A fragment, struck off at random from the corner of a large quartz boulder, exhibited no less than three varieties of ore (the grey sulphuret, the blue carbonate, and the copper pyrites) ; and we could scarcely move a step without observing some kind of mineralogical evi dence indicating the proximity of metalliferous veins." We are aware that in this country it is considered an unfavourable symptom when metallic lodes crop out on the surface of the ground ; but in South Australia it is otherwise. Short as has been the experience of the colonists in mining operations, it has been sufficient to show that this rule of judging does The apply to the minerals in that c?un s trj o '' n their party having visited the pt.inda return to Adelaide, the same Writer outcrop of copperrexpressly states— "" At the Kepunda mines, where ,T mine states— been opceed to the y e surface, as usual in and the lodes have been found this ore r'' country, as a t firstth depth of fifteen fatho . nis, e ve g r r y o - u n i psa i rent o lrea th d und but also to improve in richness and not only to increase in size and regularity, as they go deeper underground, As there is at one place a continuous outcrop of metal, extending value, according to the i r depth." ea more than a mile in length, and averaging about eighteen feet in breadth ; and as on the termination of that outcrop another is found, traceable for upwards of two hundred paces, exposing an a verage b readth of about fifteen feet; if these, too, lik e th ose at Kapunda, shall improve in richness and va l ue, according to their depth, who can estimate the value of that purchase? At the time of the framing of the Act sth and 6th Viet., cap. 36, for regulating the sale of waste land belonging to the Crown in the Australian colonies, we believe that no man expected that the clause relative to " blocks of unsurveyed land comprising 20,000 acres," would ever come into operation; it was regarded as providing for a contingency, merely possible, but in the highest degree improbable ; yet it has already been twice acted on, and measures, we understand, are in progress for rendering it available a third time—another company being in the course of formation for the pur pose of securing a special survey in some other rich mineral district in South Australia. They must quicken their motions. The survey secured by the colonists lies beyond the northern boundary of the county " Light," in lat. 33d. 40m. South, and long. 139 d. Bm. East, bearing from Adelaide north by east, about 85 miles in a direct line, or, by the route to which parties must travel, about 100 miles distant ; the road from Adelaide, however, being for the most part over level ground, or gently undulating country. It is not far distant from the Kapunda mines. The emigration fund has now been replenished to an extent beyond what the most sanguine of the friends of South Australia ever anticipated in so short a time from the passing of the last Act. But the sale of waste land in the Australian colonies, under that Act, has been almost entirely confined to South Australia. Surely, We shall hear no more of Lord Stanley's Bill No. 1 , nor of Mr. Hope's Bill No. 2, " to reserve to the Crown, far the use of her Majesty," the minerals in these colonies. — Colonial Gazette.

It is unnecessary in this Prospectus, to enlarge upon the advan tages of Life Assurance, or its adaptation to most of the exigencies and relations in life. These benefits have been so extensively pub lished, that they are already well understood and appreciated. This Company is formed for granting every description of Life Assurance, Annuity, and Endowment ; Loans either for long or short periods to persons effecting Assurances, upon receiving satis factory security for the payment of premium and interest, and the repayment of the principal, by instalments or otherwise, as may be agreed ; also for the purchase of Reversionary Interests, Policies of Assurance, and every other description of property. Persons borrowing money of the Company, upon approved se curity, and effecting a policy of Assurance for the amount bor rowed, will not be called upon for the repayment of the loan, so long as the interest and premium are regularly paid. Thus a party borrowing 1,0001. upon security of his estate, and an assignment of a policy on his life, would at his decease leave his estate unencum bered, the sum assured being applied by the Company to repay its advance. The premiums are based upon data derived from the most recent and authentic sources, presenting a moderate and equitably-adjusted scale. One ef the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance Societies, with the additional security of a subscribed capital. With this view, four-fifths of the profits, ariEng from Policies affected by parties on the terms of participation, will be divided every three years, after the first five years among those who assure for the whole term sr life. The sum so , divided among the Assured te be applied to the reduction of the anneal premium, or added to the sum assured as bonus, or paid in present value, at the option of the Assured. Parties may also effect the assurance by payment of ehe-half only ef the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rat. et 5 per cent. per annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the auger of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled to a full parti cipation of the profits. _ For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or ibr the whole of life, without participation In the profits, a scale has been adopted, which is as moderate as it can be rendered consistently with the interests of the Company. The Assured may at all times borrow an amount equal to the value of the policy, on its security. In all the transactions of the Company the utmost liberality will be exercised. Life Asserances will be effected with all the advantages to the assured afforded by the most respectable established eerapaniee. A Table of Premiums will shortly ►e published. TONTINE Alf NUITIES. This Company, in submitting the subject of Tontine Annuities to the public, is influenced by the belief that there are many persons, who from the hope of longevity, and the desire of case and affluence as they progress through life, will gladly avail themselves of this mode of investment ;—by which they will secure a large remunera tive and increasing income, guaranteed to them by the Company during their own lives or the lives of their nominee. The follevring is as illustration of the principle of the Tontine ka nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 1001. each, they or tkeir respec tive nominees, being of an age to enter the class in which the an nuity granted is 61. per cent. per annum, each subscriber or nominee will, during the continuance of all the lives, receive an annuity of 61. ; but as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to sia, cash of whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life ; but as they re spectively die CT, the 1,0001. per year which the deceased party re ceived will fall into the funds of the Company, for the benefit of the shareholders ; and so in proportion for a larger or smaller number of subscribers or their nominees. This mode of investment will place it in the power of almost every individual, at some period of life, by prudently and legitimately ap propriating a comparatively small sum of money, which in many in stances would be otherwise uselessly expended, to secure indepen dence and comfort in their declining years. Parents may also by these means provide for their children. Wealthy relatives for their poorer relations.

It now numbers upwards of 2,000 closely printed pages, this immense mass of matter being so judiciously classified and arranged that any item of it can be picked out with out the loss of a minute expended in the search. From the con nexion of the Proprietor with the Post-office, lie is enabled to collect his information frontthe most authentic sources, and (a great advantage) to combine it simultaneously. Some objection has been made to the letter-carriers being employed for this service ; but, independentrof all other considerations, it is certain that the Post office must be greatly advantaged by the publication, both from letters being directed moro accurately, with this book as a guide, and front its always being at hand ready for reference in cases of doubt. The volume has all the merits of its predecessors ; displays, like them, the utmost care in every department ; and as a work of reference for the merchant, trader, or any person engaged in busi ness in London, leaves nothing to be desired. It is one of the most remarkable examples of great Industry, intelligence, and capital being suce.essiblly employed in the production of a work for facili tating the operations of business and extending trading intercourse, that the age, fertile as it is in ingenious Inventions, affords. Of its kind, it is 4.5 near perfection as it seems possible for any work to be brought. JOHN Mt, January 10, 1846. We have so often had to bear eur testimony to the extraordinary ' merits of this most laborious compilation, its fulness and accuracy of information, and its consequent value to every one who " lives, and moves, and has his being" in London, that all we need now do is to state that, oxeellent as were the preceding volumes, this one has received various improvemeuts, which add largely to that pre vious excellency. It is a work of immense care and labour, and of corresponding utility. RAILWAY HERALD, Jan. 1846. The chief feature of the " Post-office Directory" to men of business is, that they cannot do without it—it is indispensable, thumbed over, referred to, day by day, and week by week—a counting-house, in these times of letter-sending, could do almost as well without an ink stand as without a "Directory." We have made a great many trials in different parts of the work, exercising a careful scrutiny, and hi no instance has it suffered under the test. RAILWAY EXPRESS, Jan. 1846. It is scarcely possible for any work to be more correct than this, or more carefully compiled in all its laborious detail. It would be difficult to find a more comprehensive or more useful work than this admirably arranged exhibition of this vast city. The typographical execution is as complete as becomes the well-deserved popularity of the volume. It is needless to say more than that the book is known and consulted by every man of business in London. FOURTEENTH EDITION of the SILENT FRIEND on Human Frailty, with Ccdoured Engravings.

All animal bodies consist of fluids and solids. 2. While in a state of embryo all animals consist entirely of fluids. 3. It is from and by the fluids that the solids are formed. 4. The fluids contained in the human body are four times the weight of the solids. 5. The chief of the fluids is the blood, from which all the others are derived. 6. The blood not only repairs every part of the human machine, but also carries vrith it all the rubbish, or decayed parts, to be depo sited In the intestines, previous to being expelled along with the excrement. _ _ 7. The blood is the life—the primum mobile—the first agent— from which all others derive their origin. 8. Health depends upon the purity of the blood. 9. The purity of the blood depends upon its having free outlets for its decayed particles. 10. Disease is induced by the choking up of these outlets in the bowels, by reason of an accumulation of glary mucous on the inner surface of the intestines, &c. 11. This accumulation is occasioned by anything that weakens the circulation or hurts digestion, but chiefly by the poisonous drugs and bad treatment of the faculty. 12. The impurities thus detained in the blood occasion every spe cies of disease, according to the quality of the honour, er the part!. cular locality in which it is lodged. 13. All diseases proceed from one source, therefore they must all be cured by one medicine. 14. This medicine must be a vegetable purgative, innoxious in it self; 7et sufficiently powerful to pervade the whole system, clear a wa y the t - .2)ove-mentioned mucous, and purify the blood. 15. The disccjery of a vegetable compound, capable of being di gested, and mixhig the blood, so as to impart to it that energy requisite for ridding th 6 body of all superfluous humours was a desideratum. 16. This discovery has been made by James Morison, the llygeist, in the compo3ition of the Vegetable Uaiversal Medicine (commonly known as klorison's Pills), of the British College:of Health, Hamil ton-place, New-road, London. ~i. ~~ ii EFo. , Ed I IN
