LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, T HAVE the honour to offer mys e lf as a Candidate -A- for a seat in the East India Direction. Fr. m the testi monials which I take the liberty of submitting for your perusal, it will be seen that I have held difficult and responsible situa tions in India, and that I have had the good fortune to obtain the approbation of the highest authorities. Intended for the legal profession, I went to Bombay in your military service, at a more mature age than most of my con temporaries, and the recorded opinion of the accomplished scho lar who then presided ever Winchester College ( where I was one of the Senior Prwfects), will show, that my . conduct had, at that early period, earned the commendation of my superiors. The past history, the present state, and the future prospects of India, have formed the paramount objects of my study and attention ; and these pursuits, combined with a knowledge of several Oriental languages, have, during a service of upwards of fifteen years, brought me into unreserved intercourse with the natives of India, and given me peculiar opportunities of becoming acquainted with the manners, usages, and general haracter of all classes of that interesting people. The introduction of steam, a free press, the spread of intel ligence throughout • the native community, and a variety of other causes, are working silent but certain changes in the feelings of our Indian fellow-subjects. Questions of vast mo ment must, ere long, force themselves on the notice of those on whom legislation for India may "evolve; and it appears to me that recent local knowledge will become of peculiar value and importance, with reference to the future administration of the affairs of our Indian empire. Among the most prominent events of our recent Eastern policy, is the expedition to Affghanistan. From my residence, in a po litical capacity, at the Courts of the Chiefs on the banks of the Indus, I was a near observer of the progress of that enterprise, and had my attention particularly directed to the power and condition of the States on our North-Western Frontier. As political agent, I was attached to the army of Lord Keane, and accompanied it through the territories of Lower and Upper Sinde, forming the medium of communication with the native authorities. Under the orders of Sir Henry Pot tinger, Baronet, I was entrusted with the negotiation of the treaty with the Ameers of Hyderabad, by which the Indus was thrown open to commercial enterprise, free from all imposts and vexatious interference. During several months, I held political charge of the dis turbed districts, constituting the base of our military opera tions ; and in the course of my duties, I was led to study care fully the structure of society among the Beloche and Afghan tribes, on the successful management of whose peculiarities, depended the carrying out the views of Government ; fin illy, I was appointed acting Resident in Sinde, and received the official approbation of the Governor-General, for the manner in which I conducted the important duties intrusted to my charge at Hyderabad., Severe illness having forced me to quit my station, and having in vain endeavoured to recruit my health on the Neilgherry Hills, I was compelled to revisit England a second time, on sick certificate. Nothing but a constitution unsuited to a tro pical climate, could have induced me to relinquish a career in which it would have been my pride and pleasure to have conti nued; and the same considerations, since my return to this country, obliged me, most r e l u ct an tly, t o d ec li ne accompany i ng hex Majesty's Plenipotentiary to China. Should Ibe so fortunate as to succeed to the honourable office for which I am a candidate, I trust that •.he same zeal and assiduity, that have obtained for me the approbation of those under whom 1 have hitherto served, will enable me to prove useful in the more extended sphere to which I aspire ; especially with reference to the promotion of the welfare and happiness of the millions of our Indian fellow subjects, with whose prosperity and advancement the British character and interests are so intimately interwoven. I have the honour to be, with great respect, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your faithful and obedient Servant, W. G. EAST WICK. London, 22, Sloane-street, 10th March, 1842. Legal, Banking, and Post-office references, that are in daily re quisition ; and while it is of the most ample dimensions (ex tending over 1,500 pages) is accurate in the minutest particu lars. No public office or mercantile house should, in fact be without it. Sun, November 25, 1841. We haVe great pleasure in noticing this useful work, of which we have received an early copy. It exceeds the size of the Directory of last year, and probably is the most complete and correct town-guide yet published. The following outline of the contents will enable the reader to form some idea of the vast undertaking. It contains an Official Directory, with the names alphabetically arranged, of all civil officers under Go vernment, in the. Bank of England, East India Houst, and all other public establishments. A Street Directory, which in cludes gentry as well as traders; and subjoined to this, are two others, giving the names at full length, of sixty thousand per. sons engaged in commerce, and lists of two thousand trades established in the metropolis, with the tradesmen attached to each, and the subdivisions of every trade accurately defined. There are separate Directories also for the Court ; the Par liament, with the most recent addresses of the Alembers of both Houses; the Law, with a list of all officers from the Lord Chancellor down to the usher of the most inferior Court : and the City of London, with the names and addresses of all City Officers, Companies, &c. The Court Directory includes the names of twenty-five thousand persons not engaged in trade, and takes a wider range than any other work of the kind. The information respecting the Post-office will be found eminently useful to persons of every description ; and among ether additions made to it for this year is one of great importance, showing the time at which a I • tter from London should be delivered at any place in England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place. The facilities afforded by the Postmaster-General give the compilers advantages which could not otherwise be obtained The information is furnished from the Post-office gratuitously, it is of the latest passible date, and has been all collected or confirmed within the last two- months. We have had little time yet to test its accuracy, but have no doubt that it fully maintains, in that respect, the high character of that published for the year 1841. The work is beautifully printed, sold at a moderate price, and will be Pound of great service to persons in every rank of ife. _ _ _ On the 31st of March will be published, price Is., Part the First of a New Work in Monthly Numbers, by THOMAS MILLER, Author of " Gideon Giles," " Royston Gower," " Rural Sketches," " A Day in the Woods," &c., &c.,&C., entitled, GODFREY MALVERN, Or, the LIFE OF AN AUTHOR.

Captain Rous, in his speech on the Naval Estimates, on Tuesday last. We must ask the Gallant Captain why CoMmanders should pay the same sum for a Post Commission when they have been three years at sea, as if they had only completed one year's sea service ? and what security he gives to widows, that they should receive their pensions on the death of an improvident husband ? The plan, although it may contain the nucleus of a future arrangement ; is faulty as regards the valuable hard-working officer, who has no money, inasmuch as he must almost invariably serve twenty -six years before lie can command a rated ship—namely, six years as a midshipman, four as mate, eight as lieutenant, and eight as commander—he is then forty years of age ; and where, we would ask Captain Rous, - are his young admirals to come from ? Still, however, he has started an idea which may be im proved on, and then work well, but we are sure he is too much a lady's man to forget the widows.

Righley, 32, Fleet-street, Lon&on. We have been favoUred with asight of this elaborate work and we must pronounce it vastly superior to the previous vol. umes. The contents are admirably arranged. There is a distinct alphabetical li t of the names, in number, of all civil officers under Government, in the Bank of England, East Jndia House, and all other puhlic establishmen's ; an alphabetical list of streets in the metropolis and its vicinity, with the inhabit ants according to their numerical order in each street; the only Street Directory yet published which includes gentry as well as traders. There is also a list of all officers, from the Lord Chan • cellor down to the Usher of the most inferior Court ; Police Courts, with their officers and jurisdictions; alphabetical lists of Queen's Serjeants, Queen's Counsel, Serjeants at law, Benchers, Barristers, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers, Proctors, Attorneys, Notaries, &c. Tae names of all persons in the metropolis and its immediate vicinity not engaged in trade, are given with the most accurate lists yet published of the New Parliament, and the most recent addresses of the Members of both Houses. There are, besides, the name and addresses of City Officers and Common Councilmen; City Companies and their clerks; lists of sworn brokers ; Lieutenancy of the City, &c A list is given of all the principal places in England, Ireland, and Scot and distinguishing those which grant and pay money-orders, land, referring to the money-order office nearest to those which do not ; and an alphabetical list of the streets of London, with a reference from each to the nearest receiving-house which grants and pays money-orders. This will afford the opportudity in all cases, in town and country, of applying to the nearest office for a money-order, and of obtaining it upon the office moat contiguous to the residence of the party in whose favour it is drawn. Another important introduction this year shows the time at which a letter from London should be delivered ar'any place in England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place ; thus affording the opportunity of calculating in all cases the " return of post." Independent of all this information, we have copious accounts of all conveyances by railways, stage-coaches, waggons, carts, vans, vessels, barges and boats ; with complete accounts of all the bankers, joint-stock-banks, and banking establishments of the United Kingdom ; the names of the Directors and officers of the various Assurance Companies, wish the rates of Assurance, &c., are also furnished in ample detail. One great feature in this work is, that it directs an individual to the position of any number in the street, by nosing the intersection of churches, courts, streets, lanes, alleys, &c., between one house and another. It often happens that a person may forget the name of the tradesman he wants, although he knows the street. The Street Directory in this book helps him out of this difficulty by giving the names of the inhabitants of each house of No. 1 upwards. Sundry Times, December 5, 1841. This useful work is just published ; it is, in short, a Com mercial,Trades, Law, Court, Parliamentary,City, Postage,Con veyance, Banking, and an Official Directory. It contains an almanack, list of stamp duties, Post-office rules, anti, in fact, a body of intelligence too great for detail. Respecting the accuracy of such a work, it is. of course, impossible to speak; the most inveterate Magliabechi that ever gulped quartos, or bolted folios, would scarcely undertake the perusal of a Direc tory. It is not saying too much to declare that the Post-office Directory is a work unexampled even in this country. To ap proximate closely to the communication of the names, resi dences, and trades of the inhabitants of London, a task from which a literary Hercules might flinch. Railway Magazine, December 4, 1841. Judging from the great superiority of the last edition of this work over its competitors, we did not anticipate the improve ments which have been effected in the present, which not only place this Directs' at the head ef the list, but must drive ; the others out of the field. An entirely new division has been introduced, viz., the " Official Directory," which furnishes the lull names and positions of all persons holding public situations under Government, the East India Company, the Bank, &c. The scope of that important branch, the " Street Directory," has been very considerably , extended ; and thou sands are now included, who reside without the narrow limits beyond which our books of reference have not before passed : here we have a register of all, whether dwelling in Barns bury Park, Baisinghall-street. or Belgrave-square, in King's road, Che'sea, or in Kingsland ; and one of the great advan tages peculiar to this publication is, that all inhabitants are inserted in their numerical order. We know of no other street list in which either all the gentry, or all the mer chants, traders, and tradesmen, are not —incredible as the fact may appear—entirely omitted. We may mention , that it gives the names of the Directors of most of the Railway and Insurance Companies, and a complete List of Officers of Joint- Stock Companies. The " Parliamentary Directory" is co pious ; in it the offices held by every Peer and Commoner are accurately detailed, even to the recent appointment of Lord Ellenborough as Governor. General of India, and of his suc cessor at the India Board, Lord Fitzgerald. The "Postage Directory" furnishes much original and highly valuable in formation in reference to Money Orders, and to the precise time of the deliveries of letters throughout the country. A volume so valuable as this will be generally appreciated. It does honour to the establishment which can put forth so vast an amount of authentic information of character so diversified, and it reflects credit on those who have so arranged it that the work is eqnally a model of compilation and of typography. We cannot but think that a title more appropriate than merely " Post-office London Directory"' 'nigh,. be chosen. The work surely merits a name that would convey a definite idea of in formatiqn so vast and varied, uniting as it does, in one volume, Directory, Court Guid e , an d Court - Kalendar, and superseding the whole class of similar publications.

A Subscription of Ten Shillings per year csnstitutes a Yearly Subscriber, entitled to four chances, one each Quarter, and so on for every additional Ten Shillings subscribed. There has been an increase of 16,776 Subscribers in less than two months. No. 71, LEADENHALL-STREET. The Society require no Gift or Donation for their Support ; but every Subscription of 2s. 6d. entitles the Subscriber to a chance of obtaining some article of their manufacture, varying in value from 10s. 'to 201. The Funds are not expended in giving temporary relief (as they would then require to be inexhaustible), neither do they encourage idleness, but are appropriated to a more praiseworthy purpose, viz..— To find employment for the ininitrious artisans, by distri buting the produce of their labour among the Subscribers, which gladdens their hearts under the great depression of trade, and gives a stimulus to their industry. The present Funds enable the Committee to give constant employment to 1,129 mechanics, all with large families (averaging five in each), thus giving weekly support, through ,the means of " The London Friendly Union," to 5,645 persons. The Committee would feel amply rewarded for their exertions if they could procure that patronage and support they trust the benevolent object of the Association deserves, which, doubtless, would enable them to employ, by Christmas next, upwards of 20,000 artisans, who, by their own exertions (taking their families in the same ratio as above), would obtain a comfortable subsistence for 100,0000 individuals, and be the means of partially alleviating that extreme distress so feelingly deplored i n the Speech of her most Gracious Majesty at the opening of the present Session of Parliament, wherein she says—" I have observed, with deep regret, the continued dis tress in the manufacturing districts of the country ; the suffer ing and prirations which have resulted from it have been borne with exemplary patience and fortitude." All letters for Sibscription Receipts, enclosing the amount, will be answered by return of post. W. THURNELL, Treasurer, 71, Leadenhall-street. W. CROFTON, Secretary, 4, Aldgate. Globe, December 1: 1841. This useful " Annual" comprises, among other information, an Official Street, Commercial, Trades, Law Court, Parlia mentary, City, Po s t age , C onveyat ce, and Banking Directories. It is only necessary to announce the publication itself, and to add that, arranged as it has been with care and attention, aided by sources of official information peculiar to itself, -it may be taken as a safe guide in the various matters upon which it professes to enlighten the public. Britannia, November 27, 1841. The old proverb says it is good to let well alone ; but we see no possible reason why well should be left to stand still, se long as better is clearly attainable; and such appears to be the opinion of the enterprising proprietors of the "Post-office Lon don Directory." The present edition is superior in many re spects, to any of its predecessors. On its first appearance, it was a neat and correct pocket volume—nothing more; but it has gone on improving and augmenting from year to yerr, till, by th e mere force of i ts manifest superiority, it has fairly beaten every competitor out of the field, and become, from the variety., copiousness, anti accuracy of its information, an indispensable requisite to every count ing-house and shop in the metropolis anti its suburbs. It would be quite impossible, in a brief notice, to give anything like an adequate idea of the contents of a closely-printed royal octavo volume, running to upwards of 1,500 pages. It can only be justly described as a series of Directories, each one complete in itself, and each of peculiar value to every per son engaged in business. For instance, is the residence of any particular person required, a reference to the " Commer cial' or " Court Directory" will at once give the desired in formation. If a complete list of all persons engaged in any one of the various professions or trades exercised in the me tropolis is sought, turn to the " Trades' Directory," and you have, ready to your hand, arranged in alpliauetical order, and with the residence attached, a return of every ac countant, apothecary, artist, &c., &c., within the limits of the bills of mortality. It is the same with every other depart ment of the work. We have never seen any volume containing so much matter, so well divided, and clearly arranged. The intimate connexion of the proprietor with the Post-office en sured him the most accurate information; and his printers' extensive printing-office and steam-presses enabled him to issue his sheets with surprising sapidity; so that every change is made up almost to the day of publication. The whole book is worthy of the mighty city it anatomises ; the most correct, as well as the moat useful, record of its industry, its vastness, and its intelligence ; and, if we keep in raind the enterprise neces sary for the conception of such a work, the immense care re quired in its preparation, the enormous capital required to produce it, and, considering its bulk and variety, the sur prisingly low price at which it is issued, we must pronoxiica it, notwithstanding the typographical wonders daily issued from Pre , s, the most surprising volume to which the first city in the world has yet given birth. John Bull, November 27, 1841. Again we have to bestow our praise. on the completeness and cheapness of the multifarious information comprised in the ,‘ Post-office London Directory," which comprehends within one moderately-sized volume, of clear and easy reference, a Commercial, Trades', Law, Court, and Parliamentary Direc tory. It is at once the fullest volume of the kind, the most ex act, has the most recent intelligence--the information i: em bodies having been collected within the last seventy days from official sources, and through agents possessing the requisite lo cal knowledge, and is altogether the completest guide-book to the metropolis that has hitherto appeared.

Yesterday morning, at a quarter to nine o'clock, one of the most appalling and tragical events that have taken place in the City, within our memory, occurred. The principal actor in the melancholy affair was a man named George Lucas, and the scene of the frightful act was at the house, No. 3, Zion-gardens, Aldermanbury. From thu facts which we were enabled to collect, it appears that Lucas, who was thirty-eight years of age, occupied the whole of the house in question, and let out all parts of it but the kitchen and attics ; and his family consisted of his wife and three children—namely, George, a fine boy, aged ten years ; Ann, aged seven ; and Al fred, aged four ; and Ann Hammond, the niece of Mr. Lucas, aged eighteen. Lucas, who is described as a steady, sober, and well conducted man, had been employed for many years as warehouseman, in different situations in the City, but owing to the slackness of trade has been out of employ for the last six months. This circumstoance has preyed so heavily upon his mind that he has once or twice lately expressed his fears that he would lay violent bands upon himself; and upon those occasions his wife, who is a very decent and sensible woman, used every effort and argu ment in her power to dissuade him from harbouring such a thought, and was in hopes that she had succeeded in doing so, as he latterly appeared more cheerful. The fourth door or attic of the house consists of three bed rooms, the first of which was occupied by Lucas and his wife as a bed. room ; the second by the eldest boy, George, when slept in a small cot ; and the third by the two youngest and Ann Hammond. At seven o'clock this morning Lucas got up and went down stairs as usual, leaving his wife in bed, and in a few minutes after was followed byAnn Hansmond,who also left the two younger children asleep, and at eight o'clock Mrs. Lucas came down stairs, and found her husband and niece. At this time Lucas was employed in clean ing his boots, and those of his children, and up to a quarter to nine o'clock nothing particular was observable in his manner more than usual. When he had done cleaning the boots and shoes he shaved himself in the kitchen, and when he had done, Mrs. Lucas, having still some fears of his laying violent hands upon himself. asked if she put up his razors for him. He replied that he would put them up himself, and having wiped the one lie was using, he went to the drawer for the purpose, as Mrs. Lucas supposed, of putting them up but, as it afterwards appeared, he did not do so, and from this circumstance there can be no doubt that at this time he contemplated the frightful act which he in a few mo ments afterwards became the principal actor of. It was his custom on every Sunday morning to bring his children down stairs to ° be dressed, preparatory to taking them to church, and at the time before men tioned he asked his wife in the calmest manner if ho should go up for, the children ? and she requested he would. He then proceeded to the attic, and as it ap peared, his first victim was the little girl Ann, who he wrapped up in a shawl, and carried from the further bed room to that in which himself and his wife had slept, and placing her on the front of the bed cut her throat from ear to ear. He next carried the little boy, Alfred, to the same place, and placing him on the bed, also cut his throat in the same manner. Th 9 eldest son was his last victim, and there is no doubt from the fact of his having one stocking and garter on, that the poor little fellow was in the act of dressing, when his wretched father summoned him to destruction. It would seem here, from the carpet in the passage leading from the room in which he had slept, to that of the third room where he was murdered, being rolled up in many places, that the poor little fellow had struggled very hard, and his cries were so loud as to be heard in the next house. However, on getting him inside the door, his wretched father cut his throat, and then his own, as both fell quite close together, the boy on his left side, and the murderer on his right; both heads are not more than six inches apart. Mrs. Lucas, thinking that her husband was up stairs much longer than was necessary, sent her niece iron & the kitchen to see what was detaining him, and the girl, on going along the passage, saw the younger boy on the side of 'her aunt's bed, with his throat cut as has been before described. She instantly shrieked out for assistance, and Mr. Pearson, a gentle man occupying apartments on the next floor, ran up stairs with Mrs. Lucas, when the appalling sight above described presented itself. An alarm was instantly given, and police-constable Richard Andrews, 155, who was on the beat; and William Henry• Wallace, 6, proceeded up stairs, but the fury of the unhappy man had by this time accom plished its object in so determined a manner that death in each case must have been instantaneous. The scene that presented itself in the third room baffles descrip tion. The razor with which the murderer effected his purpose was held firmly in his right hand, and its blade is a striking object, as it is in a round position, with its point resting on the right cheek of the poor boy. On the policeman entering, the blood was still flowing from the wounds, and an immensity l a y b e l ow t h e b o di es, but the constaliz did not feel warranted in disturbing either. The feelings of Mrs. Lucas on beholding tile scene may be better imagined than described, and con siderable fears were for some time entertained that she was wholly bereft of reason, but by the soothing in fluence of several ladies in the neighbourhood she soon became calmed. Mrs. Stephens, a lady residing, next door to Lucas, was in her attic at the time, and hearing the dreadful screams of the children, she knocked violently at the wall, and fearing that something serious was the matter, hastened down stairs, and went in to acquaint Mrs. Lucas of her suspicions but at this moment the truth was known. The ineineltC;ly eve nt having gain e d i mme di ate circulution, a great crowd of persons s oon co ll ected, and-many were anxious to get a view of the bodies, but the police on duty prevented their curiosity being gratified.

Now Publisehd, price 245., containing "Parliamentary Directory," giving the most recent Parliamentary Intelligence, and the present Town Ad dress of each Peer and Member. Official Directory. Street Directory, the only one published of the Metropolis, to include Nobility and Gentry, as well as Merchants and Traders. Com mercial Directory. Trades Directory. Law Directory, and complete Lists of Stamps. Court Directory, including thou. sands of names not to be found in any other work. City Di rectory. Postage Directory. Conveyance Directory. Bank ing Directory, &c. &c. The following Reviews of the Complete Directory have already appeared : _ _ Times, December 3, 1841. This useful matter-of-fact volume has Just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar, and will no doubt be, as it ought to be, in the hands of every merchant, banker, and tradesman in the country. It is, independently of its utility, by which it is rendered indis pensable to every counting-house and shop, a curious sta• tistical monument of the extent, importance, trade, and wealth of the metropolis, and as such a document deserving the attention even of persons who are not immediately in terested in commercial and business pursuits. The present volume for 1842 contains some important new matter, with which the preceding volumes were not furnished—it has an im portant addition, " The official Directory," an alphabetical list of all persons holding situations under the Crown, dean persona holding situations in the Eaat India House , in the Bank of England, and in the various law, city offices, and all other public offices. This addition is of itself enough to show the great pains taken by the Proprietors to render the book perfect. There is also some useful information given relative to the " Money Order-office," to which, if the public would pay more attention than they have hitherto done, less would be heard of the loss of money by the transmission of remittances by post in the manner usually adopted. The number of stamps issued to the various newspapers published throughout England and Chiles is given, together with the amount of stamp duties on advertisements paid by each paper re , pectively, and, indeed, a mass of information is brought together from which the best informed may derive some increase of knowledge, and to which the attention of the most ignorant and careless can hardly be called in vain. As far as the cursory examination can justify an opinion, and it is next to impossible to pay to I such a work as this the minute attention it deserves, it appears to be compiled with indefatigable industry, extreme vigilance, and an excellent jcdgment for arrangement. Morning Post, December 29, 1841. The charge, whether true or fa's*, brought against the" An nuals," that, however pretty they may be, they are of little or no use, cannot in any degree apply to this singular publication. -Within the single volume, neatly brought out by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar, is comprised all the information that can be useful to the fashionable, legal, Or commercial communities. "It includes a " Court Directory," which alone contains about five-and-twenty thousand names ; a" Law Directory" of the most ample description, giving. among other details, no fewer than sixteen large pages of a " General List of Stamps ;" an " Official Directory," with an index of six thousand persons holding situations under the Crown, in the Bank, the East India House, and other public departments ; the " Commercial Directory," perhaps the ful lest and most complete that has ever yet appeared, and a variety of miscellaneous matter which it is impossible to particularise here. In short, from our own observation, we can safely pro nounce this work a " sine qua non" to everybody who desires to become acquainted with the great metropolitan world of London. Morning Chronicle, Dec. 21, 1841. We have had occasion to commend the extraordinary diligence and accuracy shown in getting up the " Post-office I iirectory" for former years, and no less praise is due to the publication of the present volume. It contains the same immense mass of information i elative to the metropolis, which renders the work one of the most astonishing monuments of the greatness of London that can well be conceived. This information appears classified, distributed, and arranged in a variety of ways so as to make the facility of reference nearly perfect. The corrections necessary from the changes of a year appear, as far as it is possible to judge, to have been carefully made, and it would be difficult to over-estimate the labour involved in such corrections. We recommend it to the favourable con sideration of the public ; and, in fact, it must be regarded as dispensable in every house, or office, where business is trans acted. To those, if there be any, who have not seen it, it will convey the best notion of the variety of its contents to say, that the single volume of 1.500 pages contains a Streets' Directory —Trades' Directory—Law Due ctory—City—Parliamentary— Courts—Postage—Banking—and Official and Conveyance Directories —each a large work, and complete in itself, though the whole are requisite to a publication which professes to be a Directory for London. Morning Herald. Nov, 30, 1841. This is a most complete and extremely useful work. Item braces every point of interest in and near the metropolis that can affect the wants of the community at large, and is service able to all classes of society.

(FURTHER PARTICUL ARS .) - - . U ~. '., . ~ . ...•., LONDON MONDAY 5 • k. 6.4 : I . • .' I MARCH 14, 1842, PRICE 5d Lucas had for four years past worked as a warehouse. man at the house of Mr. Bassett, in Wood-street, but in January last left his situation, since wh!ch time he has been out of employ. lie had always been a very steady and sober man, and was much respected. On Saturday night he retired to rest with his wife, apparently in his usual spirits, having first gone into the rooms where his , children slept, a s was his practice, to see that they were all right. At seven o'clock yesterday morning he got up and went down stairs into the kitchen, and talked to his. as it was su c h a li ne morn i ng h e w ould take the niec camee, d h o e l t N r i a l y a li b i,f o r u i t io ei s g lm t p o to ,c m lock o , f a u n i d iea ii s e in child renfor a walk before go i n g to ch u rch. He then cleaned his r e e s n s ;ar i k i e i d s i a fe t boots and the chiliren's shoes, and afterwards shaved him self. When he had finished he put the razor into the case, and his wife asked him if she should put it away, to which he replied, " No, I thank you, my dear, I'll put it away myself." He then said, " While you are getting break fast ready I'll go and fetch the children down ;" and immedi a t e ly proceeded up- s tai rs . He had not been gone more thatt five minutes when the eldest child was heard to scream in a frantic manner, and the niece went up stairs to ascertain what was the inattor. Before, however, she arrived at the top, she heard her cousin exclaim, " Oh, cruel father 1" and thinking that her uncle was chastising him, hesitated' before she proceeded farther. She at length, however, went to the top of the stairs, and then along the passage to the room where she herself slept with the two youngest children, and found the door was shut. She tried to open it, but found that' something had been placed against it. With some difficulty she at last, subceeded in pushing the door open, when to her horror she discovered that the obstruction had been caused by the lifeless body of her little cousin:- Her screams brought Mrs. Lucas up stairs, who on learning the cause of alarm ran down again, screaming murder, when she sank down in the passage in a swoon, and continued in a state of unconsci olsness th e w h o l e of the day. In the furthest room lay the bodies of Lucas and his eldest eldest boy in a large pool of blood, with their throats cut from ear to ear, the latter with only his night-shirt and one stocking on, laying on his side in a crouching position just within the door. The father, who was dressed, was stretched on the floor, in the middle of the room, his head resting on his right arm, with an open razor clenched in his right hand, the end of the blade laying upon the cheek of the poor boy. On going into the room where Lucas and his wife slept, another scene presented itself; which was enoualf to awake the sympathies of the most obdurate, and appal the. stoutest heart. Two innocent babes, who but a short half-hour before were enjoying their little play, were lying in their blood, with their heads nearly severed from their bodies. They, too, were in their night - dresses, and were lying on the bed with their heads towards the foot of the bed. The little girl had on a nightcap and a shawl wrapped round her. She lay on one side of the bed and her younger brother on the other, and between them the bed-curtain had been placed, so that they could not both be seen at one time, and from this circumstance, coopled with the fact of their being taken from the room in which they slept to the one in which their lives were sacrificed, and from the observa tion of the eldest boy, " Oh, cruel father," it is supposed that the monster had first fetched the little girl, and hav ing cut her throat, placed the bed-curtain before her, in order that his next victim should not see her. He must have then returned for the youngest boy, as there were finger-marks of blood upon his night-gown, and served him in a similar manlier, and then went into the third room for his then only living child, and having brought him into the presence of his murdered brother and sister, the poor little fellow made his escape, and this no doubt was the time when his screams were heard. It is evi dent he resisted his-murderous father with all his might, as one of his hands was much cut, and the frightful gash in his throat appears to have been inflicted by more than one cut. They were all three remarkably fine healthy children. The Lord Mayor visited the premises about one o'clock yesterday, to learn the particulars of the horrid tragedy, but declined going up stairs to see the bodies. His Lordship gave instruction to the police to keep the place as quiet as possible, and allow no one to enter the gate but those who resided in the Gardens. The sensation produced by this event is of the most intense description, and thousands of persons have visited Aldermanbury to ascertain, the truth, scarcely believing that such an enormity could be perpetrated. The street was crowded the whole of the day by well-dressed per sons of both sexes, who evinced the deepest sympathy fur the unfortunate wife of the murderer. The police have been in attendance all the day to pre serve order, but their presence seemed not to be re quired, as the great number of persons assembled were of a class not likely to render the interference of, the police necessary. FAILURE OF WIGNEY'S BANK. The insolvency of the bank had been very generally whis pered through the principal parts of the town for an hour or two previously ; andlthere is no doubt that the determination of the firm to suspend payment had oozed nut shortly after the closing of the Bank on the previous afternoon, for persons connected with the military at present occupying our ca valry barracks were sent out late in the evening in all direc tions to exchange the notes of the insolvent Sem ; and we re.. gret to add that they were successful in numerous instances. We may at once state, without subjecting ourselves to unplea sant remai ks, the cause which has brought about the present oalamitous result. Mr. I. N: Wigney, we learn now, for the first Hine, has for some years past been engaged in a shawl and merino factory at Glasgow carried on under the name of " Cochrane and Co." and conducted by a Mr. Young, who married one of 31r. Wigna?s sisters. In this concern, in which a capital of some 80,0001. is said to be invested—whether encumbered or not, or wasted, is yet to be ascertained—great losses have kei n sustained during the last five years; and, in pointof fact, the funds of thu Bai,k have constantly and continually been drained away during that pe riod to sustain this ruinous speculatson. So lately, we believe, as the 2d or 3d of the present month, a sum of 2,0001. was paid by Masterman and Co., for the purposes of this Glasgow House; and, we believe, it was not till the drawers of the bank were completely exhausted that the determination was come to of suspending bummed The liabilities of the firm, we have reason to believe —an we have some authority to warrant the assertion—will be found to range between 120,000/. and 150,0001., including the ordi nary 4 ' Bank notes," the amount of which in circulation is comparatively small, not exceeding, it is supposed, 10,0001. ; and consequently, the disaster among !hat we may perhaps be allowed to call " the miscellaneous public," who are usually the holders of these notes, is not very great, nor extensively felt. It was supposed by many, that by the will of the late Mr. William Wigney, the brewery and all the property of the family were to continue responsible to the customers of the, Bank ; and under this beAef many persons deposited large sums there at interest. These find now to their cost that these statements had no foundation in truth, and that no member of the late Mr. Wigney's family, except the tw o youngest brothers, Isaac and Clement, are liable to them. Our Town Commissioners, we find, have a balance of about 5001. in the hands of Mr. I. N. Wigney, who was their Trea surer ; but as Mr. George Wigney is his surety, the town will sustain no loss. The suitors in the Court of Requests are less fortunate, Mr. Clement Wigney being Treasurer in that Court, and his partner being his surety. Alt oge th er , i t i s a most calamitous event, and will be severely felt in the town and neighbourhood for some time to come.—Brighton Guardian. TIIE LATE TIURRIcANE— Loss or LIFE. The violent storm which raged on Wednesday and Thursday nights has been attended with more disastrous consequences than any that has taken place for several years. On the Essex, Kent, Sussex, and Hampshire coasts, the number of wrecks and loss of life has been very great. In the river, also, a number of vessels were driven on shore, and in s,me instances have hecors• total wreaks. Several sailing barges plying from the lower parts of Essex and Kent were swamped by the violence of the gale, and, in one instance, we regret to say, has been attended with loss of life. The barge belonging to Mr. Fletcher, of Poplar, called The Friends, was proceeding down the river, and when outside of Raytiltain-creek was obliged t• drop her anchor to keep her off the shore. This was hardly effected when the water beat completely over her, and she filled and went down. She had three men on board, two of whom clung to the rigging, and were ultimately saved ; but. the third poor fellow, named William Wilson, who was asleep in the cabin at the time, perished. The crews of two other barges, oue be. longing to Mr. Toppin, of Breutford, the other to Mr. But terfield, of Nlilford•lane, Strand, had very narrow escapee of losing their lives. Both of the vessels sunk off Raynham creek, and the men got into the rigging, where they remained for several hours, the spray beating over them. They were at ength rescued by ropes being thrown from the shore. Almost every vessel that came into the river yesterday was more or less damaged, and in some cases had lost their masts and rigging, and many that had stalled on their voyage have been obliged to put back. • Some days ago, according to the Observateur des Pyrenees, a young man of good address obtained from M. S., tanker at Bayonne, a bill on Marseilles fur 1,800 f., and gave him cash to the amount. A few days after, the same person again appeared, said Le had received an account of the death of his father, which compelled him to defer his journey to Marseilles and go in a different direction, and therefore wished to return the bill and receive his money back again. This was at once as.ented to, the money returned, after de. ducting the commission, and the bill was torn up and can.. celled. On the same day M. S. wrote to Alarseilles, coun termanding the advice of the bill which had been given. To the astonishment of tke banker of Bayonne, he receive I an answer from his correspondent, stating that the bill had been paid previous to the second advice, and enclosing it that Mr. S. might ascertain that it was no forgery. On examination, it proved to be the original bill, and that which had been torn a well-executed counterfeit. NATURAL GAs.—A singular phenomenon has been lately discovered in Glamorganshire, namely, a jet of natural gas, which rises through a small river, about a mile and a half from Newbridge. The brook has its source in the valley be tween the Llaotrissont and Dinas Mountains, flows into the Honda, and joins the Taff at Newbridge. In the centre of this river, or brook, is a continued rising, or strong bubble, of about eight or ten inches above the stream, as though the water sae blown up by a current of air, and exceedingly cLld to the hand. This, when ignited, produces a powerful flame, from four to five feet in height, with intense heat ; and the smell is the same as burning sulphur. There are two jets in the field adjoining, and three on the other side the brook; but they are " ln:u t , strong as :he one passing through th e water. The e n' one mass night is grand and beautif u l, h av i ng the appearance of mass of large, brillant, blue flame.

THEprinciples by w hi c h it i s necessary t h at human conduct should be governed are of such great im portance to observe, that an incarnate Deity was pleased to de scend from Heaven to impart this knowledge to us, in order to make such an impression upon tha m'nd as should influence our entire demeanour. Thrice happy they who conform to this rule, and an eternity of misery awaits those who do not. How highly censurable then is the conduct of those who endea vour to cause a contrary course to be pursued; they act by the instigation of Satan, to enable him to gratify his malicious designs against the_ human rate, as from the nature of our being we must yield obedience to one of two invisible powers, either to the Supreme Being, or to eur eternal ; for as all that is really good proceeds from the one source, and all that is of evil from the other, we must make choice of either ; there is no alternative, and it should not re quire much time to come to a determination in our intercourse entered with society. Many incidents occur w hich afford us an oppor tunity of manifesting our sentim ents, and proving the sin cerity of our professions. We all wish to be consi dered lovers of truth and ju stice ; but there is too muc h cause to apprehend that these virtues are but little regarded. It could not have esca p ed the n otice of those wh o b have ee been access made to cause although been ma d e by several persons on Mr. Edward Farrell, it i s a we ll ascer tained the p a u u b i l u ic ve p st r i e g s a s t , iu t u ha t t u frequentbn ed er into resp• attempts hav e ct ing certain alleged attempts at robber y b y means of cland es ti ne proceedings, which it is stated have fact, that no person ever had any claim whatever against him, as a more punctual person in the discharge of all his engagements never existed, which none would in hi s pre sence deny, consequently any that have been mad are fraudulent; and those who have preferred them are felon s and should suffer the full penalty of the law, as it is an aggravation of their offence; to endeavour to make the laws which should serve as a shield of defence, an engine of oppression ; but the statements which are continually ma d e , represent matters in the worst light, as it is publicly boasted of, that conspiracies of a mast formidable character have been long in operation, having in view the accomplishment o f every evil design, and that all necessary aid is given f,r the completion of the intended mis chief chief; and it is added that rewards are lavishly conferred upon the most atrocious malefactors, as an incentive to persevere in their evil courses, and an inducement to other s to pursue the same infamous career. Surely no country can be in a civilised state, where such utter contempt is evinced for all that merits regard. None but those who are in a state of reprobation, would countenanre such flagitious villainies • Has depravity so extended its pernicious influence, as that the cause of all evil is pro moted, and every effort used to suppress righteousness. Demon aical malice cannot exceed this ; it is in vain for any person to pretend ignorance of the merits of Mr. Farrell's case, as his sincerity is fully established. How often has he endea vou:ed to cause an investigation? And why has it not been assented to ? None would oppose it who are not enemies to justice. H e does therefore, in the most explicit terms c'h'arge all persons who have at any time taks n any proceedings respecting him with high treason, as no intimation was given to him, and consequently he could not defend his just, rights. If the necessary inform a ti on had been communicated to him, he would have submitted his case to the decision of a legal tribunal ; and any persons who assume to act for others, or in any manner respecting them, without their consent, merit a most exemplary punishment. p -} N - „lt'!te iv t;at'uZgrrasvei imposition trieoo employed inthe iin Country, the ab i o t v i e s iip it „, —. connection with persons of the same name.
