This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus tains the reputation enjoyed by the "Directory" of late years. In the preface, the proprietor maintains that the high character of the work is not referable to its mere connexion with the Post Office ; for an important change has been gradually introduced into the manner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the work than heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely unconnected with the Post Office, this being in great part the plan of compiling the editions for 1845 and 1846. Nor has the proprietor rested content with his past success, but has introduced many im portant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its bulk without any increase in police. The " Postal Directory" is especially improved, and there are numerous changes throughout the volume to insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the most pains taking minuteness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a very lively effusion, to be seen in another column ; and we trust the enterprising proprietor of the " Di• ;ctory" will find that his labours are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial coun try this is an indispensable volume. RAILWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846. The new volume of the Post Office Directory for 1847 is already in our hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work so laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved. It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former reputation, it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. The produc tion of a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has placed in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and indispensable aid in carrying on the business of this vast metropolis, which would indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense if it were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our readers will have theopportunity of judging for themselves on purchasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any degree exaggerated. BRITANNIA, Nov. 21,1846. The Frenela people have done themselves credit by their industrial expositions. But it must be acknowledged that, though ingenious and pretty, they appear quite insignificant compared with the indus trial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty volume. Kee ping pace with the advancing trade and population of London, it still increases in bulk ; and, keeping pace with the movement of society in a more important particular, it vigilantly seizes every opportunity of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete classification. We find in this volume many instances of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively trifling, show the in telligence and care exercised over every department. It may be men tioned that by the employment of private agents, the changes of re sidence are now brought down to a later period than formerly, and the value of the " Directory" is consequently enhanced. We have before spoken of it as indispensable to the proper management of business. Its authority is now so universally established, both at the Post-office and throughout the metropolis, that any further recom mendation of it is superfluous. HERAPATH'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846. The " Post-office Directory" for 1847 appears with additions and improvements upon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which this important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to say, national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation, We know not whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in the ensuing session as was done in the last, to wrest it from the hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the force of might over right in the hands of Government ; but, should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its conductors will go home to the consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down the grasping Interference of Government :—" It can only be neces sary to refer to a copy of the work published before the purchase of the copyright by its present proprietor, to be convinced that the mere connexion of the ` Directory' with the Post-office has little, if at all, contributed to its present high character. That the improvements (the result of many years of unwearied toil and application on the part of those engaged in the compilation of the work) are duly appre ciated is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the ' Directory' passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully with this—they have disappeared." NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF LONDON. U NITED KINGDOM. LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London. The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance Company of London, is particularly called to the Ralf-credit Scales of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Com pany's affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual payment of one-half the rates generally charged by other compa nies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduc tion of the other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon ; or in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Com pany, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division of profits in the Equitable Assurance Company, in 1840, when it was largely adopted, and many of the policies then effected are still in force, and large bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the fol lowing table : Sum Assured.

(Testimonial after one Winter's trial.) " St. John's, Fulham, May 2, 1846. "My dear Sir,—l have very 'great pleasure in giving my public testimony to the efficiency of your stove, as combining the double advantage of thoroughly warming and constantly ventilating any large church or building. Your invention appeared to me to be in theory all that could be desired, and I can honestly say that I have not yet discovered the point in which the practice falls short of the theory. " The area of my church is computed to be nearly 200,000 cubical feet, and, though a second stove will be required, the one already erected has fully answered my highest expectations, and realised all that you have given me to expect. If confirmation were needed for evidence of its efficiency, I might further state that I had peculiar difficulties to contend with—that various attempts had been made, and that every attempt had proved a signal failure—that I was ex posed to the charge of boldness in attempting what had baffled others ; but that such is the power, the efficiency, and the comfort communicated by your stove, that I know not of a dissentient voice, and have heard only of approval with unanimous consent. 44 1 might add, that I was first led to the making inquiry respect ng your stove having gathered indirectly that a disposition, not un favourable towards it, was entertained in a certain high quarter, where, on aceount of ability of discernment, the smallest approach to approval must carry with it great weight.

We regret to announce the demise of the above vener able baronet, who, after a brief illness, expired on Sa turday last, at two o'clock, A.M., at Tredegar House, the family seat in Monmoutshire. We understand that shortly after the deceased baronet returned to Tredegar from participating in the nuptial festivities at Llanover Court, the seat of Sir Benjamin and Lady Hall, he was attacked by influenza, which, at the moment did not oc • casion the least alarm, but more serious symptoms inter vened, and in a few days the condition of Sir Charles became hopeless. 'He expired at the above hour, with out pain, surrounded by Lady Rodney and his sons. Sir Charles M. R. Morgan, M.P., his eldest son, was unable to attend the death-bed of his venerable father, owing to severe indisposition. The deceased Baronet was eldest son of Sir Charles Gould Morgan, Bart., formerly Mr. Charles Gould, D.C.L., an eminent civilian, who married Jane, eldest daughter of Mr. Thomas Morgan, of Ruppera, county of Glamorgan, and brother of Sir Charles Morgan, K. 8., of Tredegar. He was Judge-Advocate General, Judge Marshal of the Forces, and a Privy Councillor; in 1779 he received the honour of knighthood, and in 1782 was created a baronet. In conformity with the testamentary injunction of his brother-in-law, John Morgan, he assumed, and, by the royal permission, took the surname of " Morgan,' and the arms of that fam il y . He died i n 1806, shortly after he had retired from the representation of the county of Brecon in the House of Commons. On his demise, Sir Charles Morgan succeeded to the baronetcy, which he has enjoyed just forty years. The late baronet was born the 4th of February, 1760, and had consequently nearly attained the eighty-sixth year of his age. He married Mary Margaret, daughter of Captain George Storey, R.N., by whom, who died in 1807, he had a family of four sons and three daughters, namely, Charles M . Morgan RobinsonßobmsonMorgan, M.P. (now Sir Charles), born in 1792, married in 1827 to Miss Mundy, only daughter of General G. B. and the Hon. Mrs. Mundy; Mr. George Morgan, recently deceased; the Rev. Augustus Morgan; Mr. Octavius Morgan, M.P.; Maria Margaret, married to Colonel F. M. Millman; and Angelina Cecilia, married to Mr. Hugh Owen, eldest son of Sir John Owen, Bart.; and Charlotte, married to the late Lord Rodney. The late Baronet was a most liberal landlord, and had for a long series of years expended large capital in the improvement of his extensive property in Wales. There was not in the principality such a munificent promoter of the welfare of the agricultural classes, and it may be said, that no man living has done so much to introduce a more improved sy extended benefits to the occupiers of land, as the s tem of sericulture, and achieved such live s deceased. tock a e The w e i n dkuncoewmne,nftos r his annual cattleto r esehdoewr at f Tredegar (which was appointed for the present week), has for the last quarter of a century maintained . a high character in Wales, the respected deceased . giving prizes annually to nearly 5001. in the shape . of silver cups end. premiums. Last winter the nobility and gentry and the yeomanry of the counties of Brecon and Monmouth caused a subscription to be raised to present the worthy Baronet with a testimonial, and we believe a sum little short of 3,0001. was subscribed. The late Baronet is succeeded in his estates and family honours by his eldest son, M.P. for Brecon, above-mentioned. The present Baronet has represented Brecon in the House of Com mons since 1818, excepting the sessions from 1832 to 1835. ALARMING EXPLOEION.—On Monday evening an explosion of gas occurred in Church-street, Blackfriar's road, which was nearly attended with the most disastrous consequences. During the early part of the k-. day work men had been employed rep airin g the pipes in the streets, and considered everything perfectly safe. A little be fore five o'clock. however, the inhabitants were alarmed at hearing a noise resembling the discharge o f a p i ece of cannon, at the same time it was found that the brick work and partition under the parlour window of Mr. Pallevirsa, in Church-street, were shattered, a portion, of the flooring lifted up, and several feet of the ceiling destroyed. A number of workmen were sent by the gas company, and were at a late hour at night engaged in repairing the mains. BANKERS. Messrs. Masterman and Co., London. The National Bank of Ireland. The Bank of Scotland. Baronial Meeting for Iveragh—Valentia Railway. At a Meeting of Magistrates, Clergy, Gentry, and Cess-payers of the barony of Iveragh, county of Kerry, assembled in Baronial Sesssions at Caherciveon, on the 10th of November, 1846, for te purpose of applying to Government for assistance to carry out suc h h remunerative and reproductive works as are best calculated to relieve the present distress, and provide for the future employment of the people, and develope the resources of the country, it was resolved : The Court of Baronial Sessions assembled in Caherciveen. on Moamar, the 9th of November, wish - very respectfully to represent once more to his Excellency, the great expense, inconvenience, delay, and alarm, caused by the erroneous and perverse system of making the harbours in the west of Ireland dependent on eastern ports and channel navigation, for their supplies of Government stores and pro visions. That not only is great waste of public money incurred thereby, but from the character of coast intervening, and the obetacle of contrary winds, supplies have frequently been delayed, in a manner to excite alarm and risk famine. It cannot well be understood why supplies for the Commissariat shall not be made direct to Valentia, exempting the Government from the cost of double freight and transhipment, an ex pense ascertained to amount in fuel alone, by steamers, to 21. per ton, which in itself would make a difference in price calculated to afford great relief. To Valentia in particular, which happens to be the nearest harbour to America, and the best in the empire, the saving of time and coat would be considerable —along a great extent of coast—were a depet vessel like the Madagascar at Torb ert, or the Dee steamer, moored in this ha rbour, receiving its supplies direct from New York, in Twelve or fourteen days, or by steam in seven. The Court of Baronial Sessions, therefore, most respectfully submit to your Excellency, the pressing expediency of stationing in Vet lentia Harbour a depot vessel receiving her supplies direct from America. That we hail with satisfaction the announcement made by the Di rectors of the Wexford and Valentia Railway Company, that they are about to take the necessary steps for coming before Parliament in the nsuing session. That we rejoice especially that the Directors have decided to aban don such parts of their original project as would involve them in ex pensive conflicts with existing Railway Commissioners, and to apply only for a line from Killarney to Valentia, with a branch to Tralee, by which judicious course they will curtail their expenditure, avoid all risk of opposition from rival companies, and be enabled, at a very moderate cost, by joining the terminus of the Killarney Junction, to complete the chain of communication between the county and the metropolis. That, in addition to that advantage and to the benefit which will be derived (by the Tralee branch) from connecting this barony with our county town, (as there is no doubt, especially since the report of Mr. Walker, the Admiralty engineer, that Valentia Harbour must eventually become the American packet-station), the completion of the Killarney and Valentia Railway will secure the immediate ac complishment of that event, and to this county the immense advan tage of becoming the thoroughfare from England and the whole of the continent of Europe to the western world. That deeply sensible how indebted this county, and especially the barony of Iveragh, is to Mr. Attwood and other enlightened English capitalists. who, though unconnected with this country, have from their conviction of the national importance of the object projected this valuable boon for Ireland, we much regret that this all-im portant project did net during the last session of Parliament advance so far through the required stages as to place it in the category of railways for which a baronial presentment may be made; but we most earnestly and respectfully pray his Excellency the Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland to endeavour to obtain from Government a grant of ;stoney In aid of the line proposed from Killarney to Valentia. That we urge this not only in order to prevent the rejection of a remunerative and reproductive work which will afford employment to the population of a district more than most needing such employ ment, and which must for the next three years have to struggle through severe agricultural distress and difficulties ; hut because we consider that the completion of the Killarney and Valentia Railway will produce national consequences ofthe highest vatue—frem the aug mentation it will affect in the Post-office revenue—the improvement it will cause in the communications with our North American and West :Indian Colonies, bath for Government and commercial pur poses—the development it will give to internal traffic and the mar kets of labour and of agricultural produce, and that it will prove in its results the most important step ever achieved by private enter prise for the advancement of this portion of the British empire, and for the industrial prosperity of Ireland. The above resolution, propos ed b y James Butler, Esq., D.L. seconded by James Hickson, Esq., D.L., being unanimously adopted, The meeting requested that Maurice O'Connell, Esq., M.P., would take advantage of the presence in Dublin of Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., to request his powerful advocacy with his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant in behalf of the prayers of the resolutions.
