Kelly have awarded to them a mark of homirary distinction for the pro duction of this•unsurpassed and unsurpassable production. It is the microcosm of the metropolis of the world ; no information concern ing London, its inhabitants, its topography, its public buildings, its Institutions, its palaces. its docks, its trade, and its commerc;, can b / possibility be required, which the " Post Office Directory" can not at once supply. To the commercial man it is invaluable, for not only does tt supply the names and addresses of the heads of firms, but the name of every junior partner in every firm is to be found in the proper alphabetical position of his own name, and with reference to the firm. The work is illustrated by an accurate Map of London, corrected up to the present moment, and drawn upon a scale of three inches to the mile ; in this Map the po•ition of everyone of the new streets recently built in London or the suburbs, is accu rately laid down; and we find, on reference to the Map, that it shows the positions of many streets which are scarcely yet completed. It is classified, as usual, into as " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a " Commercial Directory," a " 'Trades' Direc tory," " Law Directory," a " Court Directory," a " Par liamentary Directory," a " Postal Directory," a " city Direc tory," a " Conveyance Directory," and a " Banking Directory." It furnishes also full, and accurate information regarding the various assurance and other joint-stock_cooana.nies. and the latest hifwmta.,l tton With retard to the recent postal arrangements. The Mari of fashion will find in the " Court Director 7," that the same minute accuracy has been observed, and the same untiring diligence exer cised, in procuring information relating to the fashionable world, as has been exereised in compiling, arranging, and classifying the commercial portion of this great encyclopaedia of the metro polis ;- whilst, to the politician, the " official" and the " Parlia mentary" Directories furnish all the information he can desire on the subjects of which they treat. This information is brought down to the latest moment. It was only on the 7th instant that Lord Dunsandle was elected an Irish Representative Peer, to fill up the vacancy occasioned by the death of the Earl of Cliarieville, and, that the electors of the East Riding of Yorkshire returned Captain Duncombe as their representative, in the room of the late Mr. Broadley ; both these changes appear in the present edition of the Directory ; and the present Lord Stafford, who only succeeded to the title about a week since, appears as the Peer, with Christian and i-urname at length. In the list of Peers appears the full Christian and Surname of the present Earl of Donoughmore, who only•succeeded to the title in the course of last month; whilst, in the " Postal Directory," at page 1,761, the accele ration of the delivery of the papers by day mail appears, under the head " Delivery of Letters in London;". the first day on which all the malls arrived, so as to, admit of the complete carrying out of the arrangement, being Saturday last, the 11th ult. The proprietor is fully justified in his belief that this work has kept pace with the re quirements of the metropolis to which it is devoted, and he explains in his preface how he has been able to accomplish this great labour,' and to bring the work to its present high state of per fection. He says :—" Accuracy and appropriate classification, so that everything which may reasonably be expected in such a book, may not only be found, but found without difficulty, are indispen sable to perfection. These.advantages can, in any Directory, only be attained gradually, and not completely, until the work enjoys the entire circulation. While 1 - rivals existed, patronage was divided between books which were, or should have been, coun terparts of each other ; the public, therefore, had to pay more than they need have done,, and, besides, to submit to inferior pro ductions ; the total receipts not being sufficient to sustain two Directories of London, each as complete as the present. This is quite certaia ; as, for. the many years during wirch this work has enjoyed the entire - eireuldtion, its profits would have paid but a small proportion of the expense necessary to the production of another equally complete. A second Directory of London would be about as prudent an undertaking as a second railroad to Brighton; all the expenses' would have to be incurred a second time for the same objects ; and it must be manifest, that if both paid their ex penses, the profits on two capitals, instead of one, must be paid by the public. The present state of this work is a sufficient proof of tne advantage to the public,-of their having to pay but for one collection of the information —one compilation—one setting of the type, &c. &c. This volume, to say nothing.iqf accuracy, classifica tion, and general arrangement, contains shunt double the quantity of mere letter-press contained in the closing volume of Its latest annual competitor, and is published at a lower price. There can, therefore, be no question that the public, as well as the proprietor of the 'Post Office London Directory, benefit by the circumstance that the work has been so long without any competition. Firmly established as this Directory is in public favour, it can only be ne cessary that an amount of diligence equal to that which has led to so gratifying a result, be continued,' in order .to sustain it ; on this the public may, with confidence, rely." Judging of the future by the past, we confidently rely on the energy, the abilities, the talent, and tha'reSources of Messrs. Kelly, and believe that for years to come the " Post Office London Directory" will continue to enjoy because it will deserve, toe undivided patronage of the public. JOHN BULL, OcToexe 25, 1851. The accelerated sale of the last edition of this stupendous reper tory of London statistics, occasioned by the Great Exhibition, has induced the enterprising publishers somewhat to anticipate the ustr period of annual republication. In doing thi s , great pa i ns ha e been taken to bring down the alterations to the very latest date, as is attested by the fact that the result Of the rechit election for the East Riding, and the 'succession to the Earldom of Stafford, both having occurred within the present month are duly registered. The Map, likewise, keecs pace in Its enlargement s w ith th e ft ddi t i e i e which are being made in every direction to the houserooms of the metropolis. Of the abstract merits of Messrs. Kelly's publication it is unnecessary for us to speak; we can only reiterate the opinion which we have before expressed—that the volume Is one of the moist Comprehensive, most complete, and well digested, and, for Its gizo, one of the cheapest manuals of reference ever offered to the public.' MORNING ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 22, 1851. The fifty-third annual impression of this wonderful and ever increasing book is before us. On the present occasion it is market(, by a more early appearance than usual—a proof of increased dili gence in compiling the immense lists of names, trades, and profes sions, as well as a further enhancement of its value 'and accuracy. For it must be evident, upon reflection, thatthe nearer in point of time to the completion of information, so varied, evanescent, and perpetually changing, the issue of the work containing it shall. be, so will its faithfulness be increased. Death, bankruptcy, retirement, sales, emigratiep t 'mere removal, prevent the permanency of such information, in the recency . f which lies its whole value. Now, living ourselves in this:current of change, and of necessity observant of many mutations, we have applied to the " Post Office Directory" the severest of tests, by a reference to a few of the most recent fluc tuations in the world of London and of commerce. This It has stood triumphantly. In this vast mats of matter (over 2;800 pages), In all parts of the ponderous volume, ,Is the same actuality of present truth fulness. Official appointinerits and promotions, changes of firms, removals, alterations of postal times, of mail routes and arrivals, of steam-packets, the evictions and changes consequent upon street widenings, &c., &c., &c., are all noted, so as, in poetic phrase, to " Fix the flying Cynthia of the minute ;" or, rather, to render, so far as modern Babylon is concerned, " the very age and body of the time, its form and pressure." Among the notabilia of the world's metropolis, this record of its actual state is one of the most useful and wondrous. CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS.

The fifty-third edition" of a work %mild scarcely appear to re quire a critical notice, and yet this flay-third edition of the " Post Office Directory," is so essentially a new book, that it is impossible to allow its publication to pass over without bestowing on it a larger share of a tention than any mere new edition of an established work could possibly demand. Like the great metropolis, this Direc tory has, year by year, increased in value and importance ; year by year the number of individuals it enumerates, classifies, and de scribei, has become larger and the book more bulky ; in the same proportion the care and "labour necessary for its careful production have increased; and yet every year has' seen it in some degree better than its predecessor, ant more valuable to the public. It is no slight praise to say that the present edition of the "Post Office Directory" is an improvement on the last. The competition with which Mr. Kelly is threatened, appears to have determined him to produce a volume which shall defy al rivalry, and it will be a diffi cult task for a publisher to bring out a work which can in any way compare with it tor accuracy, classification, and price. There appears to be nothing wanting in this Directory to render it coin . - plete of its kind. During the number of years we have used it for reference, we have never met with an error in it of any magnitude, or one which affected its great usefulness, and if it is continued wit the same skill which has marked its editorship while it has been the hands of Mr. Kelly, we think ho may safely trust to its well known excellence to protect him against the consequences of any Competition. .

DULY NEWS, OCTOBER 14, 1851. The " Post Office Directory" for 1852' has been published; un usually early this year. The portly volume is now before us. The proprietors thus explain their reasons for this earlier issue of their volume :—" The Exhibition having occasioned a demand greeter th-n usual, the edit on for the current year became exhausted; to prevent the inconvenience of the work being ont of print, every exertion has been made to produce the new edition at the earliest period compatible with accuracy." That this has not been sacrificed to speed, a scrutiny will amply show ; and in proof that the cor rections have been made to the latest possible period, they instance the acceleration of papers by the day mail, • under the head of "delivery of letters in London," at page 1761. The fist day on which the mails arrived so as to admit of the complete carrying out of the arrangement was on Saturday last, the 11th instant. The insertion, too, in the "Parliamentary Directory" of the Christian names of the present Lord Stafford, whose father's death was an nounced on the 6th instant, is ano her instance, among several which might be adduced to show how closely the corre;ltion.s have been made up to the moment of issue. . . TIMES,; Oceans= 21, 1851. . . . . Far-Seeing Sages - have been busy prophesying all manner of results from the Great Exhibition We have one before us —one which none of them ever dreamed of. The Great Exhibition, amid the other wonderful effects it produced, exhausted the " Post Office Di rectory" for 1851; and lest the whole commercial world of London should be left without its guide and friend, the proprietors of that valuable work have at this unusually early period issued their volume for the year that is to come.

The book is one of our standing wonders. In utility, excellence of typography, care, and trustworthiness, it can not be surpassed; and not the least remarkable feature about It is the very recent ch antes recorded in its pages. For instance, here in this volume of more than 2,000 p , ges, which was printed on the 13th of October, we find inserted in the " Parliamentary Directory," at pp. 1,733 and 1,749, the name of the Hon. Captain A. Duncomlte, R.N , who was elected as Member for the E as t Riding only six days previously—namely, on the 7th of October ; and in page 40, in the list of the Privy Council Office, the name of Lord Liverpool is struck out, though his death was not recorded in the " Times" till tile 6th of October. To the commer cial world it would be quite as necessary to deliver a lecture on the general benefits of sunshine, as to speak of the merits of the ~ Directory,' and to all Londoners who wart to know anything of the world they live in it is inestimable. The present volume is dis tinguished by the same internal and external advantages as those which have so long characterised its predecessors. [The fact above adduced, that in the " Directory" the name of Lord Liverpool, whose death had been recorded only on the 6th of Octoher, was struck oat in page 40, in the list of Privy Council, is a' appy illustration of the rapidity with wields the information con the work is compiled and published.

T e fifty-third annual edition of this useful work has just appeared, and judging from its contents, is by no means inferior to its prede cessors, and fully sustains the reputation it has so well earned, as being the only correct key to the names and addresses of the se veral trades and professions in this vast metropolis. As a work of reference, it is decidedly most useful and necessary to the man of business. No banking or merchants' office should be without it. 44; smaller edition, I,as been published, whiols.itionaknat.44 comprehensive as the larger, contains an immense mass of useful in- , formation; and both the works are eminently entitled to the name of " handbooks to the commerce of the first commercial city in the world." GLO3E. OCTOBER 18, 1851. Amon; the many interests affected by the Great Exhibition Is ti,,:tt of the "London Directory;" the demand for the edition of 1851 being so great, in consequence of the crowds congregating to the metropolis, that it was deemed advisable to have an early publica tion of that for 1852. The comparatively early appearance of the work will, however be found to have derogated little, if at all, from its accuracy and excellence, as every change that has taken place up to the last few days is carefully recorded in its pages. As in stances, we may state that the Hon. Arthur Duncombe is given as the Idemberfor the East Riding of Yorkshire, for which county he was elected as late as the 7th instant; and that the present Lords Stafford and Bolingbroke are named as the possessors of their re spective titles, although they succeeded to them only within the cur rent month. In every respect the edition for 1852 is quite equal to its predecessors. Indeed, when one considers the immense amount of information in the work—the perfect accuracy which charac terises it —and the excellent classification adopted, by which any piece of information required can be pounced on in a moment, the " London Directory" seems little short of a marvellous work, and one which could only have been put together by the most indefati gable perseverance and scrupulous care. It would have been indeed worthy of a place in that noble collection of the monuments of the industry and intelligence of the world, which we have but a day or two since looked on for the last time. LITERARY GAZETTE; OCTOBER 18, 1851. One of the ilrst symptoms of the decling year is presented In the publication of thb fifty-third edition of the "Post Office London Di rectory." Mr. Kelly is the lint in the field, with his very neat and ponderous volume, comprising upwards of two thousand very closely printed pages ; and his machinery is so well organised, that he is enabled, with astonishing facilty, to correct every department of it to within a few days of its publication. What a model for Mr. Pan.zzi, for the publication of a p:inted catalogue of the books in the British Museum, is the construction of this eminently useful volume." BRITANNIA, OCTOBER 18, 1851. LONDON AS IT IS. London is a wide labyrinth, in which those who are uninitiated in its topographical intricacies must, without the aid of guide or clue, become hopelessly bewildered. Every years adds thousands and tens of thousands to the enormous amount of its population. Squares, s treets, and terrac es , which would elsewhere constitute fl our i s hin g c ities, are periodi ca ll y annexed to its already unequally extent of b u ildings, and it is i mpossible to calculate the breadth of area which No". its encroaching wings threaten eventually to overshadow with t heir vastness. If its rati o o f i ncrease in respect of exten t, during the ensuing century, shall equa l w h at it was in the l as t , the surface of the county in which it stands will be toe circumscribed to contain its limits. Its inhabitants, who in the reign of Queen Anne numbered only three hundred thousand, have increased by the last census to nearly two millions and a half —a population equal to that of the whole of Scotland; and when we reflect that these teeming num bers are ail domiciled, clothed, and fed, in this human hive , the su mptuary arrangement s necessary for the purpose seem almost in comprehensible to the human mind. Yet such is the extraordinary elasticity of our external and internal resources, that the supply has always kept pace with the demand, and the daily wants of the two millons and a half of human beings who are sheltered and fed are supplied with an ease and a regu l ar ity unknown days when l L ondon contained but a tenth part of its present p linn op ot u hu l er pi ation. A survey of the number of t h e "Post Office London Directory" for the year 1852, w hi ch has j ust b een publishe i, will give some notion of the diffic u lt y wh i ch t h e nume rona foreign ers and strangers in London, who have lately been shjoarning amongst us, would ha ve ex perienced in t rac ' ng am ongst these thousands o streets, and a l most countless th ousan d s o f i n habitants, the desig nation and abodes of their f r i ends and enter t a i ners , b u t f or the timely aid of some such accur a t e and compre h ens i ve recor d . T he mind can scarcely realise to it se lf a pos i t i on o f gr eater p erp l ex i ty 'wand difficulty, than that of a stranger to our land and our language, launched for the first time, 'without guinance of any kind, in the bewildering mazes of our metropolitan streets. Onr English no menclature sounds so strangely to continental ears, that, without an interpreter, an Italian, or a Spaniard, in confabulation with a cab man or omnibus conductor, would have as much chance of mutual intelligence, as with the denizen of another planet. To such, then, the study of a faithful record of all that mighty London, in its multitudinous , divisions and snbdivisions, contains, will be of incal culable advantage. That which seems, when viewed en masse, to be of a complexity utterly i nextricable, through the ingenious arrange ments of our Court: Guides and London Directories, among which Kelly's is the oldest and the best, has been made easy of comprehen sion to all who can read the Roman character. The foreigner, with this Directory in his hand, while he contemplates with wonder both the size of the volume and tht amount of information it contains, will admire the judicious mode of compilation, by the assistance of which he is enabled to thread his way through the labyrinth of streets, to single out all that is most worthy of his observation, and to form a comprehensive notion of the statistics, wealth, power, and extent of the first city of the world. STANDARD, OCTOBER 21, 1851. The fifty-third annual publication of this extraordinary volume is now before us. The projector of such an opus magnum must have been a bold man, but no one can observe its singular completeness without coming to the conclusion that it has been the work of many years to bring to perfection such a guide-Look to the first city in the worl 1. The labour and diligence which must have been bestowed on Messrs. Kelly's book is quite inconceivable, and the proprietors must be gratified that their efforts have been appreciated by the r übl c. Every merchant's house, every place of business in London, or even in the country, has its " Post Office London Directory." The enormous circulation thus attained has enabled the proprietors to offer it for sale at a price that no book less universally purchased could be sold for. Upwards of two thousand closely-printed pages, comprising the most extensive and miscellaneous information in one volume, an i sold at the price at which it is offered, is a triumph of skill and diligence of which the proprietors may well feel proud. They who look further, may see, in _the - Success of the " London Post Office Directory," the foreshadowing of results yet more tin portant to the community even than the accurate knowledge of the persons, occupations, and things, so skilfully set before us in this vo lume, of the busy metropolis. It is unnecessary to recommend the " Directory ;" such a book is always itself its own best recom mendation. DR. CULVERWELL'S NEW WORKS.

SNIPPING AND MERCANTILE GAZETTE, OCTOBER 18, 1851. The annual volume of this stupendous work appears with pre scrip,ive punctuality. The plan originally laid down is carried out with increased completeness in the publication for 1852, which, like its predecessors, is.a signal monument of method, enterprise, and per severance. It is not possible that any work devoted to 'London and its statistics can furnish so clear and definite a record of the per sonal and commercial contents of the metropolis as this mammoth book, the swelling bulk of which denotes that it keeps pace with the increase of population and the several developments of industry. No one can turn over its pages without being struck with the im mensity of labour which its compilation must have entailed upon those engaged in it. Every lice is the record of a specific fact—a fact in every case liable to change, and, consequently, involving periodical justification throughout. The machinery devised by the Messrs. Kelly for securing this annual revision is now as perfect as it is possible to make it; and the corrections are brought down to the latest date. The separate Directories embrace the usual fields o tinfoil:nation. Trades and tradesmen, professionals and officials, streets and conveyances, banking-houses and post offices, are here regulate .1 to their particular heads, and, besides the mere catalogue of names, enriched with every sort of collateral information which the exigencies of business or curiosity may require. Our former commendations may be repeated now. The accuracy aimed at by the editors half a century ago has been severely tested since the book has been in existence ; and it not only repels accusation on this score, but challenges fresh panegyric as every succeeding volume emerges from the press. The counting-house of the merchant and the trader could now as ill spare the almanack as the "Post Office Directory." In tAGICINFS FROM THN MOUNTAINS. Two Vols. VI SIT TO THY;QoI. Vol. I. HY; LAKES; SKETCH OF EDINBURGH, &c, MORNING CHRONICLE, OCTOBER 15, 1851. In an age prolific of books this is the most extraordinary, and we feel almost compelled to say, the most useful of all. It is a miracle of human industry —a miracle of human skill—a proof of the tri umphs resulting from an ultimate combination of the temporary di vision of labour— an argument for the superiority of London over every cty in the world—and an example to all publishers, catalogue makers, and book compilers whatsoever. This is the fift y -third an nual publication; it enjoys al l the advantages of its pr o p rietors' fifty-two years of experience. T he classification, on ce co m plex almost to Bradshawism, is now so admirably managed, that every information such a work may be expected to afford can here be found, and found without difficulty, by persons to whom the search is a novelty, and the volume unknown. The stranger may here be guided, and the Londoner, at each year's end, refresh his in formation as to the whereabouts of his old friends. The statist, too, suddenly called upon for his figures, may joyfully find refuge by ready access to his Directory, where he will learn how many churches and how many achools, how mny clergy and how many lawyers, how many bakers and how may butchers, are re quired in this mighty metropolis to satisfy the spiritual, intellectual, and physical wants of its two million and a half of inhabitants. The teetotaller may recreate himself by marking in each street at each corner of a street, and In every parish, the appearance or disappearance of some public-house ; he may compare 1851 with 1841, with 1831 ; see where temperance has progressed, and where On-palaces are still in the ascendant; he may trace back " mine thought host " from hotel to inn, from inn to beer-shop. and point the moral of some future speech by extracts of the evidence here given of the fortunes q gained, the fortunes also lost, by the sale of intoxicating tuatione 1,, The topographer may correct his chart by the information which he his must hence derive, that new streets have arisen since he that labours t eancluded ; the historian may note where flue serveee p ,pulation have occurred ; the politician may ob serve ,from some cause which he must try to discover, commerce vie r re attendant man are restless, and seeking new positions—that is some attraction rapidly becoming the centre of a new system, hit nerto not called into operation.

But we need not insist Upon qualities which cannot be denied ; we need rot recommend a useful what recommends itself as indispensable. Good classification, and Incessant care in marking alterations, are the essential qualities of a Directory; and both these qualities this Directory has to per fection. Yol: 11.

In the year 1851 not leas than half a million of money was saved to the public by E. MOSES and SON, and although it can be clearly shown that every article reaches the public at half-price, they challenge the whole world to a com parison of quality.

Mr. Kelly's giant Directory takes the field a month earlier than usual this year. This is accounted for by the fac t of the g reat de mand for last year's impression consequent on t he crowds at the Great Exhib tion ; and certainly our visitors could not do better than resort to Mr. Kelly's compilation for a proper impre ssio n o f t h e magnitude and wonders of the city they were visiting. We possess no other record of them to compare with it. Two thousand closely printed pages of streets, trades, professions, and persons, express better than the most eloquent phrases what a mighty mass of human beings are now congregated in the spot called London, and what in finitely vast varieties of human existence and interests have come to be comprised within that name. Often we have had occasion to say, and may now repeat, that this book of Mr. Kelly's is not one, but a dozen Directories. Its clear and succinct arrangement adapts it to the use of every class that may be supposed likely to have need of such information. There is a Street Key," of nearly 500 pages, containing the names of mere than a hundred thousand people. l here is an Alphabetical Directory, containing in the same number of pages nearly the same number of names. There is a classification of more than two thousand trades. There is a Court Guide to some 25,000 of what are called the g tid entler , classes.

A mass of various matter so unexampled in balk and extent depends obviously u pon arrangement, and facility and completeness of reference, for its practical worth and. valve in a readily available sense, The book before us seems quite a model of such arrangement. It con tains no thing that may not at once be found—not a street, trade, pro f es sion, or person, which the ea s i est search does not bring into view, and, as fa r as we have been able to judge, with un e r ring ac curacy.it e b -fore Though it is hardly the middl e of October when we have now u s complete, we yet find proofs of a sc ru p u l ous cor rectness of revision that mu s t h ave dated so recently as the close of; MORNING HERALD, OCTOBER 17, 1851. The punctuality with which this huge record makes its appearance at "the doge of the' year is . not one of its least recommendations. Certainly, it is proof that the diligence :and energy which have always characterised its production experiences no ab dement, notwithstanding the perpetual extension of the field of labour, and the vast increase of those details which an insidiously-growing population must necessarily generate. We have often before been called upon to compliment the enterprise of the proprietors, and we have little to add upon the present occasion. Every one who has been in the habit of turning to the " Post Office Directory," is aware of its faultless accuracy; and to praise it on this score is superfluous. The changes to which such a multitude of localities are exposed by the accidents of life, are duly provided for; and we can but marvel •t the excellence and completeness of the machinery by which the •mil's surface of London is annually explored, and every sinning Icl ron parlo Francaise.

Two days before the deceased was struck with the adze there bad been a fight between the Italians and some others of the crew, by whom sticks were used to defend themselves from the pri soners, who were armed with knives. One of the hands sung out, "They have got knives," and Captain Benson, the, master of the Albuta, gave orders for them to be taken away, and the Italians made fast. Moraty had a -- knife sharpened at the end like a lance, and Argenti a large sheath knife, which be had concealed under his shirt. Both, knives were taken from them. While the prisoners were aloft after Getland was wounded, they:rentoved from the fore-top to the fore-topgallant -mast cross-trees, and directly afterwards a knife was thrown by ore of th-m at the people keeping guard below. It fell close to one of the men. Mr. Yardley—Whose knife was that? Colwell— It was a knife which had been lent to the mate, and the mate lent it to Moraty. Mr. Yardley—What time was it when the blow was struck ? Colvill—lt was about five or ten mi nutes past seven, just beginning to get dusk. Argenti attempted to cut me down directly he had cut down the deceased. The foremast bands picked up what they could to protect themselves. If they had not done sh, more blood would have been spilled. Getland was quite insensible when he was taken into the cabin. Mr. Yardley —I suppose, Mr Powell, you cannot complete this case to-day ? Mr. Powell—Not at all, s i r . rinteud to ask for a remand. Mr. Yardley directed the interpreter to ask to what country the prisoners belonged. He said in Sta replytes ! that and Ar t enti was was from Ancona, i n th e P apa l g a Tuscan. O n w hi c h t h e `rift inquired if the prisoners could obtain any assistance here ;he meant a legal adviser—an ad v ocat e to defend them. The interpreter said the prisoners had declared they -- s .; could not obtain any assistance, or any advocate. 4 Mr. Yardley—Yes, a n t i th e y h ave sa id something about the consul of their country jast now in Italian. e' 4 Have you been instructed by the Treasury to conduct 3. this case, Mr. P owe ll ? Mr . Powell—No, sir, by the • to Home-office. Mr. Yardley recommended that a communication 24 Amid. i:ie made to the consuls of thettates to which 31 the prisoners ',belonged, who would probably employ 4 5-6 7 a solicitor to ooDauct, their defence.

Be that as it may, the provi sions of the Act of Parliament give me jurisdiction, and, consequently, the Central Criminal Court has jurisdiction. If an offence is committed on board a British ship, whether at sea or in harbour, I have ju risdiction. I may be wrong, but according to the evidence of Colwell, the offence was committed within the limits of a port of the United States. Colwell explained that the ship was in the Bay of Mobile, 23 miles from the town and three miles from any land, when Getland,waa . cut down. The roadstead was not landlocked. Mr. Yardley—There is no doubt about my juris diction, and on this evidence I shall remand the pri soners on the charge of wilful murder. You must prove the Albuta is a British ship. Mr. Powell—l shall have no trouble in doing that; but the Albuta has not yet arrived. The witnesses were taken out of her and sent home. Mr. Yardley then remanded the prisoners till Wed nesday next. A large adze, carefully packed up, was produced by the Quebec officers, and delivered into the charge of Mr. Evans, of the Thames police. SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday an adjourned meeting of the proprietors was held at the Nine Elms, to receive the declaration of the . poll with regard to the projected central and coast lines. The chair was taken by Mr. Reed. The result of the poll was declared to be as follows : For the motion 4,095 For the amendment Majority -970 The effect of this decision was; of course, to sane l.ion the recommendations given by the committee in their report. The CRAIRMAN wished to explain, in a few words, the reason why be had taken a poll both on the mo tion and on the amendment. Had the poll been token on the amendment only it would have been competent to any one afterwards to demand a second poll ; and to avoid that be thought it best to take the poll on both together. He could assure the meeting that the board were quite willing to abide by the decision of the shareholders.— (Cheers.) A PROPRIETOR hoped the course which had been pursued in this case with regard to the poll would not be drawn into a precedent. The Cu►lxMAx observed that the case was quite an exceptional one. A Proprietor having ,risen to propose a vote of thanks to the chairman, Captain Moonsom said the chairman bad stated on a former occasion that there was great risk of the company's having their traffic taken from them. Now, one means of preventing t h at was to carry out a suggestion contained in t he report, a n d w hi ch, if DO further notice were taken of it, would remain a dead letter. The CHAIRMAN in terrupted Captain Moorsom to was, that the poll just n u e n d d e e v rs ery . part of the report, and that tending be carried on.—(llear, hear.) d re e m cl a a r r k ed th sa a l t ic h ti i o s was glad to near that delara tion. He would now ask whether the directors, in the c m ap a t t a t i e n r i‘ s i h o o o u s l . should of the decision which had been adopted, Confer with the :promoters of the coast line ? . intended to ,„„ he CH AIRMAN hoped that such would he the 1 re sult. As he had formerly explained, some negotia tions must be entered into with reference to the great latitude which the promoters of the coast line had t a ken in their notices as resfected the future disposal of the li ne. Security must be taken that the line would not ultimately be taken out of their hands. Captain Moonsom said the promoters of the coast line thought they might be of use to this company by relieving them of the burden of some unfinished lines. They were ready to give a guarantee that the line should be connected with the South-Western line, and further they were quite prepared to work the line themselves. At the same time he would tell the pro prietors that if they did not do their duty in this mat ter they could not reap the advantages now held out to them. _ A PROPRIETOR wished to know whether the direc tors intended, in accordance with the recommendation of the committee, to carry out the line to Andover ? The CHAritmeal replied that the Andova line would be carried out immediately. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was again being proposed, when A PROPRIETOR said he wished to ascertain from the beard whether or not they had given up all idea of the central line bing carried out ? Mr. SMITH, a director, said that, notwithstanding the decision of a majority of shareholders, he was still of opinion that the central line was most import ant to the interests of the company. He - held no Great Western shares, and had no local interest, but he thought the line, if constructed, would prove beneficial to them as a body. Mr. CASTLEMAN asked Captain Moorsom whether the promoters of the coast line were prepared to go to Parliament in the ensuin g sess i on . Captain Mooitsom said all the steps d necessary for that purpose bad been taken by the directors up t o that day; but at the same ti me he begg ed to t e ll t h e meeting that th e y h a d no t a moment to lose if t h ey wished to support the line. A PROPRIETOR, from Liverp ool, said h e diff ered from Mr. Smith as to the propriety of b unging for ward the central scheme, and considered it disgrace ful to the directors to have drawn shareholders from the country for such a purpose. Thanks were then vote d to the che;rman, th oug h not without a previous abortive att emp t on the part of that apr d op a l v. etor to confine its application to hi s con d uc t The meeting then separated. MR. ELIOT W AR BURTON'S NEW NOV E L, " D ARIEN , oR THE MERCHANT PRINCE. Few writers have so m an y admirers as Dlr. \V arburton. His" Crescent and the Cross" is one of the standard works of th e E ng li s h l anguage, and we s h a ll be disappolnted:if the c h arm i ng story of " Datien " does not obtain an equal degree of success. The viscissitudes and stirring adventures of the hero, forming such a marvellous episode of real l i f e, the beauty and striking ch arac t er i s ti cs o f the heroine, and the vein of pathos and romance that per vades the whole tale, give the book a peculiar and irresistible charm, By those who love excitement it will be read with brea thless interest. Mr. Warburton exce l s i n th e delinea tion of those incidents which call up the first powers of the novelist, and enchain th e sympat hi es of the reader. His s ituations are admirably conce i ve d an d wroug h t out with singular skill. His characters are strongly marked, and show ,the felicitous touch of a master. „ ,:ntteal &MCe aragaZ inc.

CHARGE of MURDER on the HIGR SEAS. Two Italian seamen, named Francisco Moraty and Burto Mayo Argenti, were brought before Mr. Yardley, at the Thames Police office, yesterday, charged under the 58th section of the General Mer chant Seamen's Act, the 7th and Bth Vict., cap. 112, with the wilful murder of Peter Getland, or Gotland, at Mobile,_in the United States of America, in April, 1850, while the prisoners and the deceased belonged to and were seamen of the British ship Albuta, of Liverpool. The prisoners have been in custody one year and nine months, and the circumstances w hi c h l e d t o th e i r being brought to England were of a somewhat ex traordinary hature. The alleged murder was com mitted in • the harbour or roadstead of Mobile, in April, 1850. The British consul, having taken the depositions of the master and crew, sent the prisoners in irons to Quebec, to which place the Albuta was bound. The case was again investigated at Quebec, before a magistrate, who committed the prison e r s f or trial for wilful murder, and in due course of time a true bill was found against them, on which they were arraigned, but their counsel took an objection to the jurisdiction of the tribunal (the Court of Queen's Bench at Quebec), and, after a long argument, the Chief Justice of the colony decided in their favour. The colonial authorities, how ever, determined that the alleged murders should not escape, detained the men until they received instruc tions from the Home Government, by whom orders were given to transmit the prisoners to England. They arrived here in the ship Lady Bulwer on Tues day, in the custody of two Quebec constables named Michael Barrett and James Station. Several wit nesses accompanied them. The Quebec officers took their prisoners to several station-houses, but the in spectors on duty would not receive the charge. At last the constables presented themselves at the Thames police-station in Wapping, where Mr. Evans, the superintendent, at once entered the charge on the police sheet, and detained the prisoners. Mr. Powell, of the Treasury Solicitor's office, appeared for the prosecution on the part of the Go vernment, and handed to the magistrate the deposi tions taken before the British consul and the autho rities at Quebec, and other documents. The prisoners were described as Anthony Bruto Urgent and Frank Murray in all the papers, but M. Gazen, the inter preter, gave their propr appellation. Both can talk English tolerably well, but Mr. Yardley gave instruc tions that everything should be translated to them in their own language. Mr. Powell briefly stated that the papers now produced had been transmitted to the Colonial-office, and that the prisoners had been sent to this country by an order of the Court of Queen's Bench in Que bec. The prisoners were the same parties as were described on the papers. Mr. Yardley said it did not matter how they came here, so long as he had jurisdiction. James Colwell, a seaman, deposed that he shipped on board the Albut a , a t Li verpool, i n the capac i ty o f steward, on the 30th of January, 1850.

The prisoners were sitting pieces of wood), on the night heads (small upright right forward on each side of the bowsprit. He was talking to Getland about boarding-houses, and the deceased asked when he saw the him soners pri if he cou ld recommend hi m one , who had a d vance d a b out three yards from the Pl ace where he first observed top-gallant forecastle, ju s t th em , standing on the above Getland. Before he could give the deceased warning, Argent], raised a large adze, with which b e struck Getland a blow on the skull with the sharp end of the weapon. Getland fell streaming with blood' Wh ich flowed copiously from the gash. He uttered some exclamation and staggered against the foremast. Arg enti made a seco n d bl ow a t w it ness with the adze, but he avoided it by stooping, and staggered against Getland. The crew came from both sides of the vessel to seize the prisoners, when Argenti raised his adze, apparently intending to cut down any one who came near him, and Moraty flourished his knife. The crew then began to arm themselves, on which the Italians ran up the fore rigging, one on the starboard and the other on the larboard side, and remained aloft. Assistance,lhow ever, was obtained from other ships in the bay, whose people armed themselves, and blank shots were fired at the prisoners in the rigging to induce them to come down, but they would not stir. Sentry was kept all night, but the prisoners would not come down until the officers and crew of an American revenue cutter came on board. The captain of the revenue cutter allowed the prisoners five minutes to decide, and called to them that if they did not come down at the end of that time he would shoot them down. The Italians submitted, descended the rigging, and, directly they reached the deck, were made prisoners, and conveyed to prison. Some days afterwards they were again brought on board the tAlbuta, and taken to Quebec in irons. In answer to questions from Mr. Yardley, Colwell said that Moraty was a little on the left side of Ar genti when the deceased received the blow, and both were on the top-gallant forecastle, right above Get land's head. Getland was conveyed into the cabin and the wound was dressed, and he was afterwards taken to the hospital in Mobile, where he died in seven days. Getlandwas either a Swede or a Nor wegian.
