" By the scheme promoted by the Direct Yorthera Railway Com pany it is proposed to bring York (to the n - ,rth of which city there is a population exceeding five millions) within the dicta• ce (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 2l 1 / 2 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 hre by the theme of the London and York, which, for the sake of passing through certain towns, pursues 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 Hun ; whilst it lessens by twenty eight miles Ur 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 ccedei 1 in 200, with upwards of sixty-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 It 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 inexp nsive 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 amd 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, regnlarity, 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 hearing which the Ilolborn 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. Ity its means the London Terminus of tke 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 tho 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. " The Committee refer the shareholders to the map accompanying this Report; it fully shows the course and relations of the Direct Northern Railway, and its national character. " Up to the 30th of November, all the standing orders of Parlia ment have been complied with ; and the solicitors report their per fect ability to fulfil all that remains to be completed within the time limited by the Legislature. " Thus prepared, an.! 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 M miles; an i that the main line of the Direct Northern, between London and York, is 176 miles.

The Directors have now the greatest satisfaction in stating that arrangements with the South Eastern Company have been concluded, and they are fully justified in asserting that the Company will be placed in such a position as to insure the proprietary against loss ; for in the event of an Act not being obtained, they undertake to return the whole of t'he deposit money without any deduction what ever. And in case of the Bill passing, shares in the South Eastern Company will be allotted to the proprietors in lieu of stock in this Company. The Directors, in making this announcement, feel that the Com pany, as now settled, are on such a basis as to secure most im portant and unusual advantages to its proprietors, and to warrant the Directors in proceeding to Parliament with the undertaking with every expectation of success.

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 1,000/. 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 of the principal objects of the Company is to assimilate its benefits as nearly as possible to those of Mutual Assurance Societies, vrith.thWlitionsl eeeuri'y of a subscribed capital. With this view, font- MA.4r the profit!, obi lig from Policies affected by parties on the terms of particlp; *a will be divided every three years, after the first five years, among those who assure for the whole term of life. The sum so divided among the Assured to be applied to the reduction of the annual 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 one-half only •f the premiums for a stipulated term of years—the interest upon the unpaid portion of the premiums, at the rate •f 6 per cent. per annum, being annually paid in advance. Upon payment of the arrear of the premiums, the Assured will be entitled t• a fall parti cipation of the profits. For persons who may wish to assure for short periods, or for 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 Assurances will be effected with all the advantage , to the assured afforded by the most respectable established companies. A Table of Premiums will shortly be published. TONTINE ANNUITIES. 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 ease 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 following is an illustration of the principle of the Tontine An nuities :—lf 1,000 persons subscribe 100/. each, they or their 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 6/. ; but as the lives drop, the share of the deceased parties will be divided among the survivors, until they are reduced to six, sash of whom will then receive 1,0001. per annum for life ; but as they re spectively die off, 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. Applications for Shares, in the following form, to be directed to Char.es Barker, Esq., No. 46, Lincoln's Inn-fields : To the Directors of the Tontine Life Assurance Company. Gentlemen,--I request you to allot me Shares in this Company; and I hereby agree to accept the same, or any less num ber you may allot me, and to pay the deposit of Two Shillings per Share thereon, and also to execute the Deed of Settlement of the Company when required to do so.

The earliest copy o f t h e work has been but a few days issued, and the followin g rev i ews have already litan journals ; — appeared in the leading metropo- 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. No other nation could furnish materials for such a work, and to these Is the compiler partly indebted fore 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.

THE PROJECTED RAILWAYS. (From the Times.) With reference to the list of " Defunct Schemes," pub lished in our paper of yesterday, we have received numerous letters, apprising us of amalgamations and other reasons for change of names, &c., to which we cannot say more in reply, than that our three lists, of the 17th of November, 1845, and 7th and 14th inst., must be taken together—the first, as showing the schemes registered ; the second, showing the plans deposited; and the third, those deficient.; and which we believe will be found substantially correct. In a list ex tending to some thirteen hundred names—" Central," "Direct," "Great," " Grand JunctiOn;". "Union," &e., it would have been utterly impossible to be correct to the letter. We subjoin the following as desired to be corrected : The Direct Birmingham and ;Leicester, and the Direct Birmingham, Leicester, and Bolton—both registered, but did not deposit plans. The Lincoln, Wainfleet Haven, and Boston Company have amalgamated with the Boston and Wainfleet, and Lincoln, Horncastle, Spilsby, &c.

Wisinson, nunAr.—A very numerously-attended vestry was held yesterday afternoon, in the vestry-room, and ad journed thence to the Town-hall, in pursuance of thefollow ing notice, signed by the three churchwardens (Messrs. Adams, Clode, and Ingalton), and the four overseers of the parish Noke, Rose, Cleave, and Chisholm):— "PARISH OF NEW WINDSOR, WITH DEDWORTIL —Notice is hereby given, that a vestry will be held in the vestry room, on Thursday next, the 22d of January inst., at three o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of receiving the gracious reply of his Royal Highness Prince Albert to the memorial presented to his Royal Highness by the church wardens and overseers of this parish, on the 14th inst., and returning to his Royal Highness the gra t e f u l thanks f the parishioners for his liberality and kindness, and for the ex pression of the feeling of the p ar i s h towards his Royal High ness." The Rev. ISAAC GOSSET, the vicar, upon the motion of Mr. CLODE, jun., seconded by Mr. COBDEN, was voted into the chair. The Rev. CHAIRMAN briefly opened the proceedings by observing, that he hoped those present would confine their observations _to the object for which the vestry had been convened. Mr. DARN - ILL entered into a statement of the proceedings which had taken place between the parish officers and Mr. Anson, Prince Albert's private secretary, regarding the rating of Flemish Farm, the particulars of which have already ap peared, and added that he had written to Mr. Anson, acknow ledging the receipt of his letter, and expressing the thanks of the parish officers for the kindness and liberality mani fested by the Prince Consort. Mr. BLUNT expressed his grateful thanks to the Prince Consort for the liberality he had evinced towards the parish. He regretted very much he had not been present' at the previous vestry meetings, because he then should have had an opportunity of setting some of those persons right who had spoken upon those occasions. He begged to move the following resolution : "That an address be presented to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, expressing the most sincere thanks of this meeting for his kind consideration of the memorial presented, and for his graciously consenting to contribute towards the parochial funds, although not liable thereto." Mr. ROBERTS briefly seconded the resolution. After a few observations from Mr. HormNs, Mr. JUDGE entered into a lengthened statement, touching the chief features of the case . _ _ Mr. BEDBOROUGH said lie would be the last person to ob ject to the thanks of the vestry being given to his Royal highness, in conformity with the resolution proposed by Sir. Blunt ; but lie certainly had an objection to the latter 1 part of the resolution, in w hi c h th e Prince is thanked for contributing towards the parochial funds. He had pre pared a resolution, embodying his views, which might be ' incorporated with the resolution or not, moved by Mr. Blunt, and which he would read :—" That this vestry, relying on the assurance:of the churchwardens and overseers, a nc ;that I his Royal Highness Prince Albert has been improperly .1 illegally rated for the Flemish Farm, deeply re g ret t h at an 3 supplication should have been made to his Royal Highness, craving as a boon that which they (the parish officers) fully acknowledge they have no claim to as a right. That whilst freely acknowledging the dignitled condescension of his Royal Highness, in allowing any communication to take place with the parish officers, after the comments which had been pub licly made upon the question relative to the Flemish Farm, and the razing of houses connected with the improvements of the Castle ; and deeply impressed with feelings of pro found respect for his Royal Highness for his ready acquies cence in the prayer of the parish authorities, yet this vestry is of opinion that the credit and character of the town and its inhabitants will be seriously compromised by sanctioning the late supplication by the receipt of his Royal Highness's gracious donation, and that this vestry do adjourn - for the purpose of maturing the best means of extricating the parish from its present position." After some further discussion, the amendment was then put to the meeting and lost by a show of hands, and the original resolution carried. Mr. BLUNT then moved, that an humble address (which lie read) be presented to his Royal Highness, expressing the thanks of the parishioners for the Prince's kind consieleratiou in contributing towards the poor's-rates of the parish for Flemish Farm. The ackress was seconded by Mr. SNOWDEN, grocer to her Majesty, and carried. The address, upon the motion of Mr. DAEVILL, was or dered to be engrossed and to be taken round the town by the parish officers for signatures previous to its being presented to Prince Albert. The Rev. CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging a vote of thanks for his conduct in the chair, congratulated the meeting upon the result of the proceedings and upon the good feeling which prevailed. He sincerely hoped it would tend to unite still closer the town of Windsor with her Majesty and her Royal Consort. Mr. NEIGHBOUR, before the meeting broke up, begged to suggest, as a benevolent mode of disposing of the money received, and to be received in future from Prince Albert, that it might be appropriated in the payment of the poor rates of all persons in the parish, who were rated under 10/ a year. The Rev. CHAIRMAN informed Mr. Neighbour that the suggestion he had kindly made could not be legally carried into effect. The vestry then adjourned. ANCIENT PIGEON -HOUSE.—Mr. M. A. Lower, describing the priory at Lewes, says that the pigeon-house which stood to the south-west of the existing ruins, and was taken down about forty years since, wax, in the form of a crossomd equalled in magnitude many a parish church; the pigeon -holes were : , .228 in number. —The Builder.

The importance of this project, both nationally and locally, has de termined its promoters to bring it before the public at the present moment, notwithstanding the difficulties which at first sight would appear to stand in the way of its success. The title of the scheme is sufficiently explicit to put the public in possession of its merits without a detailed statement enumerating them. Arrangements are in progress with the Canal Company for its ab solute purchase, the final completion of which will doubtless be ef •ected at a very early period. The Warwick and Birmingham Canal has, notwithstanding the opening of the London and Birmingham Rai way, yielded a dividend of about 12 per cent. to its shareholders. By the oonversion of the canal into a railway with the benefit of a terminus in the centre of the large town of Birmingham, a direct railway communication will be opened with the impor tant towns of Leamington and Warwick, at which latter place the proposed line will join the branch of the London and Bir mingham Extension Railway Company, from Warwick to Fenny Compton; thus opening, by means of the projected lines through Buckinghamshire, a much nearer railway sommunica tion between London and Birmingham than the present one, in addi tion to conferring on the very important districts through which the line passes the benefit of railway accommodation, and which is not now possessed by them. The proposed line will be in immediate and close alliance with the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birmingham Ex tension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies; those Companies having agreed to subscribe a very considerable portion of the required capital. The necessary plans and books of reference have been deposited, and notices to landowners and others duly served ; so that nothing can prevent the Company from applying to Parliament for its Act of Incorporation in the session of 1846. Preference will be given in the allotment of shares to parties locally interested, to shareholders in the Warwick and Birmingham Canal, and the Rugby, Warwick, and Worcester, the London and Birming ham Extension, and the Warwick and Worcester Railway Companies, The time within which parties must apply for Shares will expire on the 24th of January, 1846. In the event of the application to Parliament not being made in the session of 1846, the whole of the deposits will be immediately re turned to the shareholders without any deduction for expenses or otherwise. Applications for Shares may be made in the undermentioned Form to the several solicitors and secretaries of the Company. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARESi.

In fact, to all Loudon residents this annual has been an indispens able volume. In the present year several improvements have been added. TIMES, January 9,.1846. This volume unlike many others, as it increase's 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. Li 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 cupant of an attic. There is an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a " Court Directory," a !I_l!arlianaeatary Direetory,e a - " - Pbstai Di- TictorY," a " City )3i - rectory," a " Conveyance Directory," a " Banking Direchiry," and a mass of other matter, explanatory of many things whisli 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 puhlic estimation, for the accuracy and multi plicity of its intelligence, requisite fir 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 us, 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 Directors," a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a "Court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a " Postal Directory," a " City Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," a " Banking 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 eack ; 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 th - ee columns each ; its " Commercial and Professional Directory " 504 pages of two colnmns 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, &c. This portion of the work has been much enlarged and improved. It now supplies us with the hour of delivery of.the London letters at each town and village in the United Kingdom at which there is a Post-office or Receiving house, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes at each place; also the distance of each from the post town through which the London letters are transmitted. We also observe that the valuable Map of London, which has for some years past accompanied 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, 184; The annual volume just published of this laborious and valuable work deserves the same ;need of approbation which has been 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 arrangements, which are so rapidly becoming extended and complicated under the double impulse of new railways and the penny postage. MORNING ADVERTISER, Dec. 24, 1845. This work, published by Kelly and Co., which has now made its annual appearance for forty-seven y 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 with the ractropolis. 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 found 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, and nothing but a liberal pf tronage from , the public could remunerate the enterprising proprietors for their, outlay and labour. The " Post-office London Directory" is singularly cheap, 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, annual work which emanates from the press of England. The map accompanying it appears to us to be much improved ; it is certainly equally excellent and perfect. WEEKLT DISPATCH, Dec. 28, 1845. This colossal guide to the great metropolis is a striking illustration of the results of British perseverance properly directed, and British capital judiciously employed. Fer 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 earn, 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 " ank 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, under 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 be simultaneous ; and hew 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. BRITANNIA, December 27, 1845. This wonderful annual continues to keep pace with the times, fast as they move. 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, he is enabled to collect his information from the 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, independent of all other considerations, it is certain that the Post effice must be greatly advantaged by the publication, both from letters being directed more accurately, with this book as a guide, and from 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 successfully 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 as near perfection as it seems possible for any work to be brought. JOHN BULL, January 10, 1846. We have so often had to bear our 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, excellent 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. RATLWAY HERALD, Jan. 1846, Ths chief fcatu - e 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 in 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 he 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 tke book is known and consulted by every man of business in London. THE TWELFTH EDITION.

Last night a wish was expressed on their behalf that - ,11 -` some of the witnesses should] be recalled, in order they might be re-examined upon particular points ; but the Court refused to comply with this request, adding, however, that they would willingly read the notes over again, and give the jcry every other assist ance which the law allowed.

CHIEF BARON—I regret, gentlemen, that you cannot agree, and that you have been put to so much incon venience. , Juror—We have been in attendance upon the busi ness of the Court for twenty-four hours, and it is a case of great hardship. We have had only a little water for refreshment, and a very indifferent fire. The room is more like a dungeon than anything else, and I trust, my Lord, that you will discharge us. CHIEF JUSTICE—The Court feel that it is a hardship, but they have neither the power nor the discretion to comply with your request. . Juror—lf there were a possibility of our agreeing, we would not make the application, but there really is none. Now, in the event of our being starved to death or of losing our health, would it not be a dreadful thing? One gentleman drove twenty-four miles yesterday morning, in order to be here at nine o'clock in attendance upon the Court. CHIEP BARON—It is a great hardship, but there is no mode of relieving you. CHIEF JUSTICE—Do not attribute it to the want of sympathy upon the part of the Court. We desire to relieve you if we could, and we have a full consciousness of the pressure upon you; we cannot, however, relieve you. Be good enough to go back to your box, and you shall have a fire lighted. If 'you go over your notes again, and there be anything which the Court can ex plain and elucidate, the Chief Baron will read over his notes to you. Juror—l am afraid there is no earthly chance of our agreeing. The jury then returned to their box. At seven o'clock the jury entered the box for the third time during the day, and intimated to their Lord ships that there was no probability of their agreeing. They had been 36 hours confined without food, fire, or rest, and several of the jury, particularly two, who wero ill when empanelled, were in a very serious state of in disposition. Mr. Maxton said that he was very ill, and his medical adviser, Dr. Middleton, could satisfy the Court upon that point, if he were produced. The Chief Justice then dispatched a messenger for Dr. Middleton, who returned shortly afterwards, having in vain searched for him. Mr. Maxton's son then went in search of Dr. Middle ton, but that gentleman not being in the way, Dr. Gabriel Stokes was sent for, and he gave it as his opinion that Mr. Dawson and Mr. Maxton were very seriously ill, and further confinement might endanger their lives. The jury were then discharged. The ATTORNEY• GENERAL announced that he would again arraign Seery this day (Thursday), and have another jury empanelled to try. There was a verdict of Not Guilty returned for John Egan and Michael Delemour, who were charged with having assaulted Charles liednie, and with having taken a gun from him. Michael Keena was found Guilty of delivering a threatening notice to Benjamin Digby, Esq. Michael Martin was found Guilty of attacking the dwelling-house of James Dalton, and for firing at con stable Matthew Campbell. POTATO DISEASE—FEVER AND DISTRESS. The reports from the country are quite disheartening. The Cori; Examiner gives the following account from Dungarvan, a populous town in the county of Waterford : —" We regret to learn that the condition of the poor in the town of Dungarvan is deplorable in the extreme ; and that, to add to their misery, the potato crop of the Union not only was not an average crop, but that one half of the crop is totally unfit for human food. Besides a want of employment for the large working population of the town, the price of provisions has enormously in creased ; so much so, that even the worst quality of potato is beyond the reach of the poor householder. In the words of a most respected correspondent, Mr. An drew Carbery, of that town :--‘ Famine, distress, and sickness have already set in here to an alarming extent amongst our unemployed population, from the use of bad food, and from want of money to purchase even that same.' lie further states that the rate at which potatoes are sold is sd. per 141 b. for mixed, good and bad ; 6d. per ditto for middling ; and 7d. for good. That would be, according to our weight of (211 b) 7*l. for bad, 9d. for middling, and 104 d. for good. Combine these famine prices with sickness, poverty, and want of employment, and the picture becomes appalling. So urgent and terrible is the state of distress to which the poor householders of Dungarvan are reduced, that a hurried meeting was held on urday last in the chapel, Dr. Rally, P.P., in the chair, at which meeting the sum of 1001. was subscribed; and so great was the necessity for active measures, that the houses of the poor were visited that very day by the subscribers to the fund, and the names of 200 house holders—the most urgent cases—taken down for imme diate relief ; which temporary relief, we are glad to learn, was administered to those distressed creatures on Monday. Our readers will remember that the sub scribers were enabled to administer relief to what they considered the most destitute, leaving some 200 families more in a condition only a degree removed from the lowest state of suffering and want. Alarmed, and justly, at this fearful aspect of affairs, the townspeople have re solved on an immediate application to the landlords of the town, to whom the people must look for relief at this period of general suffering." The King's County Chronicle says :—" Fever and dy sentery are very prevalent in Philipstown." The Castlebar (Mayo) Telegraph contains the follow ing :—" Fever, we regret to state, is very prevalent in this town and neighbourhood at present. Alas I what will become of the poor ? Famine and disease stalks abroad. The grain has been shipped from our coasts, to fill the granaries of England. Our population are without permanent or remunerative employment—and, to crown all—the drivers are impounding for the No vember rent." Coax, JAN. 21.—A meeting of the parishioneri of Liscarrol was held in the parish chapel on Sunday, the 13th inst. (at which the Rev. William Golden presided), tor the purpose of ascertaining t e probable amount of injury done to the potato crop in that locality ; and to transmit the substance of the information derived to the proper authorities. The accounts given of the gradual progress of the disease were truly appalling, and to judge from analogy, the prospects are gloomy, despond ing, and deplorable. DREADFUI, MURDER NEAR CLONMEL. The Tipperary Constitution contains the following:— " On the night of Sunday last a most atrocious murder was perpetrated in the vicinity of Woodroffe, in this county. This victim was a man of the name of Patrick Crotty. He was a servant to a man named Thomas Fennessy, and was shot through the left breast, the ball coming out through his hip. The body was discovered in Fennessy'syard, and presented a shocking spectacle. An inquest was held on Monday, before William Ryan, Esq., coroner, assisted by Samuel Perry, Esq., Cap tain Plunkett, county inspector , and C. Brevr Esq. , sub inspector of the district. After a minute investotgratictn a verdict of " Wilful murde r agai nst some p erson per sons unknown was returned." We understand that two persons have been committedrerned. charged perpetra tion of this heinous crime. "W A mm o of which Mr. B.

The repor will subsequently be laid before Parliament—most probably in the course of the present session. The accounts received yesterday from Badminton give a more favourable view of Lord Alvanley's illness, which last week assumed a very serious aspect. EXPERIMENTS 'WITH MARINE GLUE.—Mr. Jeffery attended at the testing-room in the Woolwich dockyard yesterday, to make experiments to ascertain the adhesive power of New Zealand hemp, a substance imperishable in water, when applied with marine glue. A block of elm, 12 inches square and 9 inches thick, was joined to another of equal dimensions, and the joining surface of each was lined with plates of iron three-eights of an inch in thickness, with the hemp and marine glue placed betwixt them. On the ap plication of Bramah's power machine, the iron plates sepa rated when a strain of tire tons was given. A second block of the same dimensions sustained a strain of 94 tons before the plates were separated, and the marine glue appeared to have retained on the separated part a complete surface of the oxided iron. The strain on the latter was 151 lbs. the square inch. Two pieces of sabico, a very hard wood from Cuba, which had been joined with the marine glue was tried, and on receiving a strain of six tons the wood separated, about an inch on one side of the glue, and broke off altogether, leaving the joining perfect The authorities of the Middle Temple have approved a report presented to them upon the subject of the legal studies of candidates for the bar; and have ordered that a lecturer be forthwith appointed, an examination be insti tuted, and exhibitions established. 110SIERY AND LACE TRADES.—The cotton hosiery manufactures are yet in rather a stagnant state and the bands in general are short of work. This state of things is much increased by the disputes respecting the delivery of the tickets to the workmen—some of the largest houses in the town not having, as "'yet, given out a ticket; arid such is the state of dependence - in which the n-asters and journeymen ale held, and such is the want of public spirit, that not a single individual is willing or dare complain — thereby fulfilling the old adage, " that neither Parlia mentsseselves." nor gssolci solitary help .on h 't ow h e e:y er, t h b e e m e n olauitd Ni a .o g r a k in w s , t ith a ou m t a t s h te e r tsitcokeekti,nanrd atthlesomn-aggriseterna,t:bsr decided g d inform p tho a s t e i o n w h h o a s " , that the information could not be sustained.
