It-is now just half a century since the " Post-office Landon Directory" first became a candidate for public favour, and for many years it waged an unequal war with other publications of a similar character. Fortunately, however, for the public, it became, in 1836, the property of its pre sent proprietor, who, with that energy and enterprise which, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, commands success, determined to make it in reality what it was in name—a directory and guide to the streets, the professions, and the trades of London—to make it a mirror of the metropolis of the commercia world. To accomplish this, neither pains nor expense were spared ; the work was extended to nearly doable the usual size, accuracy was secured by establishing a system of collecting information, and a system of checking and comparing the results of the information thus collected. A map of Loudon was added; aid thus the " Post-office London Directory," theke greater extent and greater accuracy of its information, and by more lucid arrangement of its contents, was enabled to drive every rival from the field. THE TIMES, NOVEMBER 30, 1848. The volume for the'aPProaching year. 1849, being the 50th volume f this publication has just been published by Messrs. Kell y and Co., Of Old Bosvrell-conrt. This volume contains all the matter which enriched those of the present and preceding years, with all such lin- P ovetnents as increased activity as research and careful isvestiga tion can supply.' It appears to be as accurate a compilation for the offices, trades, occupations, and residences of thousands of persons as the most minute inquiry and the most methodical arrangement can furnish. Perhaps no book more effectually answers the purposes for which it is intended than this does. It is necessarily a balky volume ; but its bulk, contrary to the general role, is an advantage, and it may be said to contain no superflifous pages whatever. It is well printed, and well got up, and has a map of London prefixed to it, which will be found usetlil. The proprietor has had for many years an arduous task in carrying out his object, but his labours have `enninated in complete success. He has conferred a benefit on the nnhlic, and it is their duty, as well as their interest, to patronise his Rte. MORNING HERALD, NevENBER 30, 1848. This stupendous and indispensable book has, with honourable punctuality, again made its appearance, having completed 50 years .of its existence—a lapse of time that has imperceptibly added to the experience of those who have been engaged in its productiOn, and given it, by the accumulation of resources, every conceivable feature • .of utility. Although comprising such a myriad of Isolated facts, il lustrative of the commercial and professional pursuits of the inhabi tants of this vast metropolis, we do not remember any case of error, and the care which has thus been bestowed upon its preparation has established it as an authoritative Directory of the capital of Great Britain, laughing ' , nary to scorn. How such an enormous body of specific intelligence could be got together at all is a matter of wonder, but how the masses of detail brought in from the army of labourers employed to collect it could have been so adroitly digested, and placed In a shape so immediately adapted for reference, is more surprising There, however. is a book of upwards of two thousand royal octavo pages, taking the whole of London within its grasp, aid exhi= tain; its streets and the avocations of its residents, in treble alpha bet, whereby_ the convenience of the searcher after an unknown "whereabouts" is met at all points. The " Post-office Directory" is, !It short, a monument of most valuable enterprise, and achieved, as It now is, by private machinery, without the aid that was f-,rmerly accorded it by the .etter -carriers, presents a matchless example of - well-directed diligence and perseverance. The arrangements of the present volume are similar to those which : have distinguished the work for the last two or three years, the com - pleteness whick.the proprietor has accomplished hardly admitting of any further extension. We find, however, that the entire surface of the -metropolis has been revised, and such alterations made that changes of address and the. opening of new establishments rendered necessary.- white the suburban neighbourhOods, which are generally swelling into importance and becoming fresh hives of :human exist ence and human industry, are vigilantly detected and submitted to the governing modes of analysis. MORNING CHRONICLE, DECEMBER 1, 1848. This valuable work is so well known and appreciated, that it would In a work of supererogation to enter into any explanation as to it, nature and merits. It is sufficient to state that this is the fiftieth annual publication under the a'tove title, and it contains a mass of information• which can nowhere else be obtained, relative to the commercial, professional, and other interests in this gfeat metropolis, ao as to render it, possession almost absolutely necessary to any one residing in London, and who takes an active part in the business of life. The.present volume extends to upwards of 2,000 pages ; but not withstanding its bulky appearance, it contains such an enormous quantity of details, as really to render it surprising hew it conid be condensed into such A compass, and at the same time be so admirably digested and arranged, that any reference may be found out with the greatest facility. When this publication was first started, it was little More than an alphabetical list of names and addresses ; but - within the last few years the whole plan has been so expanded as to corn- Prise not less than twelve separate parts, under the titles of the Offi cial, the Street, the Commercial, the Trades, the Law, the Court, the . Parliamentary, the Postal, the City, the Conveyance, the Banking, and the Assurance Directories. Under each of these heads every re• intsite information is given, so that any fact which can properly come under any one of these categories can at once be ascertained. The arrangement of the present volume is similar to those which have been published for the last three or four years, bat the whole of the contents have been carefully revised, and such alterations have been made slime last year as the changes which have taken place in the residences, appointinents, and arrangements under the classes Which we have mentioned have rendered necessary to secure ac , e , u racY. There has also been a cons iderable extension in man y of its departments. An extremely well-engraved n , w map of London, Prepared expressly for this work, faces the title-page. . _ MORNING POST, NOVEMBER 3 0 , 1848 . - It is jut half a century Mike the " Post-office London Directory" Frst made its appearance. But how small, how limited in its objects, bow inefficient in its attainments it then was, compared with what it now is ! London itself, with its commerce, its extensions, its Population, its improyements of all sorts, does not so far outstrip the London of 1800 as, the " Pest-office Directory" of 1849 does that of the first yearn( its publication. To the energy, the enter prise, and the unwearying exertions of the Messrs. Kelly this great Metropolis is indebted tor having a directory worthy of the gigantic interests contained within its circumference. Such a directory no other city-in the world ban boast of possessing. It is really amazing t ° °Pea this huge volsme and contemplate the mass of information contained therein ; and when its - accuracy is tested by referring to details within oar own personal cognizance, it is impossible to withhold the eXpressicm of our admiration for the stupendous corn • Dilation, and of our belief in its general truthfulness. The classifica tion is most complete, and under the heads of " Official," " Street," ▪ Commercial.'," Trades," " Law," " Court," " Parliamentary," " Postal," " Conveyance," " Ranking," &c., all the per sonal and other information which the most copious directory can Impart is found with the greatest facility.

It has new become an authentic means of en abling one part of the inhabitants of this great metropolis to know the abodes of their fellows. It has been said, that whatever is formed for long duration arrives slowly to maturity. The Directory has been fifty years in a con dition of growth, and, by its appearance and contents, we should judge, has arrived at maturity ; therefore it is but reasonable to conolode that its existence will be lonr and flourishing. Of the half century the " Directory" has been published, it has been twelve years in the hands of the Messrs. Kelly ; audit is within this period the work has acquired its high position—a post Von so distinguished, that it attracted some time since even the loving attention of Government, and would no doubt have fallen into its hands, but for the difficulty of yearly producing a work of equal utility to the public, and of making the price at which it is sold re munerative for the labour devoted open it.

ADJOURNED. INQU E ST aN THE COLLIERS KILLED NEAR BARNSLEY. Woessno' DALE, SATURDAY Nxiamr.--The ad journed inquest commenced at eleven o'clock this (Saturday) morning. The first witness called was Mr. Charles Locke, colliery agent (brother to Mr. Locke, M.P. for Honiton), who said--On the 10th o f January instant I, along with Mr. T. D. J e ff cock, of Sheffield, a colliery-viewer and engineer, went into and examined.-the Darley Main Colliery. We ex. amined the workingsas we went along, and f oun d t h em, in my opinion,, perfectly safe. The ventilation was very good indeed. :I went down into the pit again on Thursday morning last, the morning after the explosion, about three o'clock, accompanied by George Porter - Aladdison, a colliery-engineer, and a number of miners. I observed that several of the stoppings and doors had been blown down. In the explosion 75 persons, whose bodies had been identi fied, were killed. I considered the pit was well ventilated. It was considered so safe that the men worked with .naked candles. In search of the bodies we used a Davy lamp. There may have been-some accumulations of gas in the old workings. In my n a g u d fro thus e c i r a c u u s m e d a t i h n e c ex- plo one. I consider it was v o e p n in ti io la n t , ion the of r t e h c e en in t arin h ie i s gh winds have checked the purelysion. l an cannot bl am e any un known. lam not aware that there has been the least unpleasantness between the owner, of the colliery, or their superintendents, and the men. James iestutrannt, colliery agent to Messrs. Field, Cooper, and Co, of Woodthorpe Colliery, detailed the exertions made to rescue the sufferers, and the finding of many alive or dead. He thought the explosion had been partly caused. by the late prevalent high winds. tad not heard any one blamed. Witness made some suggestions as to the mode of improving the ventilation of the pit. If this had been done before, and the explosion had occurred, there would not have been so iany killed. _ _ George Porter iMaildison coal agent for Messrs. Field, Cooper,' and Co.—From what I have seen, I think the explosion took 'place in the extreme east or dip work, near to the throw. I think it has not been a sudden explosion. The .men are so severely burnt along the wholnworkings that it must have been more a hanging of slow spreading fire than a sudden blast. It has not occurred in one portion or the pit only, but in three distinct portions of the workings. It has done extremely little damage to the pit, com pared with the severity of the burning on the men and boys. I shoUld say that the primary cause was the prevalent high winds ; for I find in this district that the thick bed coal generates a more highly car buretted hydrogen than in other mines in the north whiCh I Am, acquainted with. The carbon being much heavier than hydrogen, I have no doubt that the carbon is in a measure separated from the hydro gen, thereby causing the carbon to be more in the current of the air than the hydrogen. So soon as the - carbon leavee, the hydrogen will lodge in the old breaks of the supermcumbent strata. I cannot say that theexplosion_was caused by any neglect. I consider it has occurred from accidental circum stances. I could not blame any one. James Hammond, of L ogwoo d, Worsbro' Dale, a collier employed at Darl e y M a i n Colliery—l, was working in the pit at the bottom of the dip board gate, on Wednesday, when the explosion took place. Thompson, the undergro un d s t e ward, went round that morning into all the w or ki n gs, to see that all was right. When I got to my place to work that (Wednesday) morning, there was a shovel put in the hurry road. The shovel being put there was a sign for us to keepotir candles low. It was the duty of Thompson. to put the shovel there as a caution to us. The sulphur had been lodging in some of the old breaks for some time. Thompson knew as well as the men that 'the sulphur had collected in the old breaks and in the boles. Thompson was in power to see that the plices were right. I considered him a competent man for his situation. He had been round once that morning to examine the workings, and was in our board-gate, going round a second time, when it happened. I. think he could not have apprehended that there was any danger. By the CORONER — Whom do you blame for the explosion? Witness--I blame both Thompson and George Addey, the und ergroun d man agers. What for ?—For letti ng t h e , men work in places which were not' fit _to work in. They were put in power to see that the men did not work in places which were not fit. -34 A R R I A G E. One half the wend are desolately single, and the other ,upposing• them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a arse of right determine .the former, and miscalculated hopes em ,tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea ‘i caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble regret un ..omprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, 'id broten health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness .d social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set lement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item M the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or ,egieet wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

Some of the men would have spoke about it, but they were afraid of lotiing their work. Why did you not stop out of the pit if it was in this state ?—Well, I have heard the men talk about it.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.. 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which cevers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses arc always injurious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, liecomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions In health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired is early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so rrequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of isease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva rietly characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the ,edical man who can show by hi:, posse,sion of the requisite legal l ualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his prees .- mai pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas ~rtity, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a uarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost ,olely to the treatment of these diseases.

It, does appear to me very odd that if you thought there was danger to be apprehended, you should still go to your work . in the pit. What do you think was the cause of the explosion?—lt has been done through taking away all the coal before them, and throwing it all dead behind, so that the wind could not get down behind them. Do you mean to say that the late high winds have not had to do with the accident ?—lt may have had something to do with it, but it has been through sul phur lying in the works. What has made it lie there ?—Because no current of air could get to it to carry it away. Who do you think is to blame with regard to the explosion ?—I blame no one in regard to it. It seems very odd to me that you should first say one thing and.then another. Might not the explosion and h have h w a i p th pe o n u e t d a if ny t b h o e d re y had been to blame ?—Yes, iteen the gre a t es t ca re, might. _ _ Do you think it bad been wilfully or negligently done ?—No. Do you say it has been accident?—y es . The witness, in answer to a juryman, said th a t the men were getting pillars out of the old wor ki ngs with naked candle s , w hen the explosion t oo k p l ace . The CORONER then read a letter which h a d been received from Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, in answer to a communication from the magistrates at Barnsley, in which Sir George Grey stated that if it was their opinion that the presence of some person on the part of the Government to watch the proceedings was necessary, the Government would send one. s it a quarter-past ip-building boon made by Mr. . aterman, • - was also present, and Mrs. Bonus, lady , of the firm of Capper and Bonus, - itaWtielirolten of wine on the bows, a n d named her the .ulcan, the vessel glided off the•ways into the creek in line style, amidst the cheers of the spectators The following are the_dimensions:— • Feet.

You will probobly hear miserable accounts of the unhealthy state of this settlement, and in fact there is a great deal of fever, but of a mild intermittent kind. We are living in a marsh, which fully accounts for it. The Europeans are fixing on sites for their bungalows on the high lands in the interior. The Raja's house is to be commenced at once, and I doubt not in a few weeks we shall get out of this unhealthy spot. We have just returned from Bruni —a most satisfactory visit.

He left us with an un favourable impression of Labuan. The Meander is to be sent back here immediately; and - probably we shall be off to Sooloo next month. The Sooloos have again been committing piracies. One account of an attack made by them on a Bornean boat has just reached Us; they tempted the crew on shore and murdered them to a man ; we shall have fighting there yet. The Raja, lam sorry to say, is not looking so well as usual. He has much to harass him ; the sickness in the island is a source of anxiety to him. One of our own party has been laid up with fever, but is now recovered. The ungenerous attacks made by the jeal ous Singaporeans are another annoyance to the Raja. I have enjoyed the best health, and the in terest I take in all that goes on in every little improve ment prevents my feeling ennui. My life is a very re gular one, and far from unpleasant. I get up every morning between seven and eight, bathe and dress, then read and write till ten; we breakfast at eleven, read, write, study Malay, and chat till half-past four , when all sally out for a walk, or sometimes a pull or sail. Our walks are very circumscribed. We have a fine sandy beach for two miles in one direction; in the other, the road to the barracks, which is progressing rapidly; it is cut for two miles through the heart of the jungle, and we can now ride over it with ease; of course it will be a long time before it is macadamised. Our bungalows will be built near this road. The Rajah has chosen a spot close to a very pretty ravine with a waterfall. Our communications with Singapore are so uncertain you must never be surprised at not getting letters. I hope soon to be able to send you better accounts of our pro gress. I am quite confident myself. We are most anxious that the Eastern Archipelago Company should commence operations here. The settlement is at a standstill for -want of European enterprise and capita/. Do not be surprised if you do not hear from as for the next month or two. We shall ,probably be at Sooloo." TOTAL LOSS OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP. Livaaroon, SATURDAY EVRRIII00"•-•We regret to state that accounts have reached Liverpool from Hol land to day, stating that the emigrant ship Atlantic, Captain Ross, which sailed from Liverp oo l f or N ew Orleans on Friday, the 12th instant, has been run on shore near Ardrossan and gone to pieces. The At lantic had no less than 400 emigrants on board, and, considering the tempestuous weather through whiek she passed prior to the accident, it is somewhat won derful that no lives were lost. This was in a great degree owing to the activity, manly bearing, nautical skill, and great humanity of the gallant captain who commanded the ship. A cabin passenger, with whom we are acquainted, has written us a brief description of the affair, some of which we subjoin. The writer sa y s —' , Soon after the pil o t l e ft th e s hi p on F r i day, the 12th, the wind changed, and Captain Ross still hoped to get round Holyhead, the usual course for outward bound ;ships. Finding that impracticable, and the wind getting dead ahead, he beat up to the Isle of Man, in hopes of finding his way into the Atlantic by. the Northern Channel, but it came on to blow so hard, and the drift set in so 'lima upon the land, that we were unable to weather " Chtf,' and again beat our course southward, hugging the Irish shore close. Hoiever, if was Of no avail; we could have got round Holyhead certainly, but should have gone on shore in Carnarvon Bay, without any mistake, and also gone to pieces, which would have been much worse. All this time it was blowing heavily, and fearing it would be still worse, we tacked again, keeping close into the eastirn shore of Old Ireland, passing between Ruthlin Island and the main land, giving, as you may see by the map, the Calf of Man a wide berth, and with good luck got into the blue water of the Atlantic on Tuesday, with a fair probability of soon making a good south and west course. Again, the wind changed, and foosereral days we encountered heavy storms; and such was their perversity, - that no port the, captain decided upon _ thmA g oyloilsnrie disasters , r enc o un te red into o i for tahi lsahndekal yesterdayt e rlag r o , edr , s o l r pa asmath,nedw repairs, :trot 00- c_ d o t e n d yi and as-nothingnud. m fr a do t o me Yes terday,ll about three P.M., the wind proving favour able, Captain Ross determined to runinto some port, either - Londonderry, Belfast, Arian Isle, or Glaagnw. With that purpose our course was changed, and more sail put on the skip ; in less than an hour 'land' was seen ahead, which we knew from mid-day observa tion to be the forelands. The heavy gale bad now increased to a storm. The jib, a new and strong sail, went with a report like thunder into a thousand pieces; and then the mainsail parted. It was soon cut away, however, without injury to the masts. 'Our sole trust was bow in the main-foresail. After undergoing many and severe trials, we were tossed 'about; and when a vain' attempt was made to get into - the Clyde, we rtuvashore ;here, near Adrossan, and the ship has since.gone to pieces, but no lives a re lost,' The writer then passes ahi lost;' on : the captain for his conduct daring the trying eoe DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT.—FIYE Limo Losr.—Os Monday, the Bth inst., a most melancholy accident took place in Loch Bracadale, Isle of Skye, by which five 11-. dividuals were suddenly deprived of life. it would appear that a vessel from Russia, aslstin g ig s e o a m id e that the ou into Loch Braca had been driven by stress of we athe r _ dale, where she anchored.

The Montrose, Captain Clive, for the Italian ports, will take her departure on Tuesday. The Go vernor of Gibraltar, Sir Robert Gardiner, proceeds in her. THE TIDES IN THE GERMAN OCEAN.—A striking example occurs to us of the happy connexion of theory with observation, in the prediction that there must exist a spot in the German Ocean—the central point of an area of rotation, produced by the meeting and mutual action of two opposite tides—where no rise or fall of t de whatever could occur ; a prediction actually verified by Captain Hewett in 1839, without any prior knowledge that such a point had been supposed to exist. This i s one among the many triumphs of the like kind achieved by modern science. —Quarterly Review.

The country possesses all the elements of an ex tensive trade—fertile plains, capable of producing im mense quantities of sugar, rice, and indigo, together with forests of teak and other valuable woods, while at the same time, in her numerous Chinese subjects she has, were they well used, a trained and energetic body of cultivators. These advantages, however, are rendered useless by a vicious system of monopolies, introduced by the present King in 1840, since which time the trade of Great Britain with Siam has greatly diminished. We have a treaty with the country, but it has become tr dead letter from the absence of any representative of the British Government who could have remonstrated against its infringement. This treaty is represented to be alto gether opposed to the monopolies that have been established, and also to an oppressive tonnage duty which is enforced, and which is levied according to measurement, whether vessels be full or empty. What is urged therefore is, that some competent person should be sent upon a mission to the Siamese Court, with the view of re-establishing our rights, and of accomplishing an equitable tariff. It is asserted that the task would not be difficult, and this statement seems to be rendered probable by the fact that one of the sons of the King is possessed of great intelligence, and a considerable know ledge of the English language and of European habits, while, et the same time, the present discontented and dangerous condition of the population must be suffi cient to warn the King that there is no time to lose in promoting such changes as may operate fur their ad vantage. EIGHT LIVES LOST AT LANCISTER.—On Monday last eight men lost their lives by the upsetting of a boat on the river Lune, at Lancaster. The men were work ing at Denny Back Quarry, on the North-Western Rail way, about two miles from Lancaster. They were in the habit of crossing the Lune in a body ; to get to Hal ton, where they lived. Ou the afternoon in question, the boat had crossed twice, once with ton in it, and once with seven. The third time, eleven got in, but one, thinking it too full, jumped out. The others pushed off. The fresh was then running strong, and the wind being very high, while the edge of the boat was close to the water; the waves dashed into it, and turned it com pletely over, throwing them all into the river. One of them clung to the boat, and was heard for-some time crying for help. Two others saved themselves by swim ming, and the rest sunk. On Wednesday an inquest was held, and a verdict of "Accidental Death" returned. —Manchester Guardian. A CHILD MURDERED BY ITS MOTHER.—Maxy Ann Beveridge, a blind woman, who was convicted of the murder of one of her children at the March assizes for Hampshire, in 1847, and confined in the gaol at Winchester on the ground of insanity, on Saturday last, after her discharge from that asylum (by whose autho rity she was discharged we have not learned), destroyed another of her children, a boy five years of age, by strangulation. She immediately made a confession of the second murder at the station-house of the borough of Portsea, telling the police she had strangled another child. On the police going to her room, with her hus band, her story was found to be too true. The child was lying dead in the bed, two pieces of calico being twisted round its neck. An inquest was held in the evening, and a verdict of " Wilful murder," returned. The unfortunate woman was committed to Winchester gaol.

This anchor had undergone the process of being heated to a bright-red heat, and in that state covered over with hot bricks and ashes, and thus allowed to cool gradually without exposure to the influence of the atmosphere. Contrary to expectation, this anchor broke upon being dropped on the ballast, one of the arms breaking off short close to the broad part of the palm.
