POST -OFFICE 1:01113 ON DIRECTORY, for 1849, being the Fiftieth Annual Publication, Is now pub lishing in 2,(00 royal octavo paces, price 36s ; Smallar Edition, 156. It has already received the following highly gratifying notice in the leading Metropolitan Journals:— SUN, NOVEMBER 30, IS-18. The year 1849 Is the jubilee of this most useful, most meritorious, and most carefully compiled work of reference. It is now just half a century since the " Post-office London 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 double 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 ,I-Alidolt was added; and thus the " Post-office London Directo r y ," ul the greater extent and greater accuracy of its information, and by the mere luck, arrangement of its contents, was enab l e sl to drive every rival frora the field. TEE TIMES, 'NOVEMBER 30, 1848. The volume for the approaching year, 1849, being the 50th volume of this publication, has just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Roswell-court. This volume contains all the matter which enriched those of the present and preceding years, with all such hn- Irovements as increased activity of research and careful investiga 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 bulky Volume; but its hulk, contrary to the general rule, is an advantage, and it may be said to contain no superfluous pages whatever. It is well printed, and well got up, and has a map of London prefixed to it, which will be found useful. The proprietor has had for many years an arduous task in carrying out his object, but his labours have terminated in complete success. He has conferred a benefit on the 11 " 11 c, and. It is their duty, as well as their interest, to patronise his "Wt. MORNING HERALD, NOVEMBEA 30, 1848 This stupendous and indispensable book has, with honourable ISunetuality, again made its appearance, having completet 50 years If its existence—a lapse of time that has imperceptibly added to the *tperience of those who have been engaged in its production, and 'riven it, by the accumulation of resources, every conceivable feature If utility. Although comprising such a myriad of Isolated facts, il lustrative of the commercial and profess'onal 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 rivalry 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 still. There, however, is a book of upwards of two thousand royal octavo pages, taking the whole of London within its grasp, and exhi biting its streets and the avocations of its residents, in treble alpha bet, whereby the convenience of the searcher after oR unknown " whereabouts" is met at all points. The " Post-office Directory" is, is short, a monument of most valuable enterprise, and achieved, as it now is, by private machinery, without the aid that was formerly 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 tlistinguished the work for the last two or three years, the com- Pleteness which 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 atanges of address and the opehmg of new establishments rendered necessary, while the suburban neighbourhoods, which are generally swelling into importance and becoming fresh hives of ;human exist ence and human industry, are vigimutly detected and submitted to the governing mode,s, of analysis. MORNING CHRONICLE, DECEMBER 1, 1848. This valuable work is so well known and appreciated, that it would be a work of supererogation to enter into any explanation as to its hature and merits. • It is sufficient to state that this is the fiftieth animal publication under the above title, and it contains a mass of Information which can nowhere else be obtained, relative to the commercial, professional, and other Interests In this great metropolis, to as to render its possession almost absolutely necessary to any one residing in loitdon, 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 anpearance, it contains such an enormous quantity of details, as really to render it surprising how it could 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 pLin has been so expanded as to com prise not less than twelve separate parts, under the titles of the Ofll- 0 ....ia, the Street, the Commercial, the Trades. the Law , the C ourt, the r arliamentary, the Postal, the City, the Conveyance, the Banking, and the Assurance Directories. Under each of these heads every re quisite information Is given, so that any fact which can properly blue under any one of these categories can at once be ascertained. She arrangement of the present volume is similar to those which pave-been published for the last three or four years, but the whole of the contents have been carefully revised, and such alterations have been made since last year as the changes which have taken place in the residences, appointments, and arrangements under the classes Which we have mentioned have rendered necessary to secure ac- V r acy. There has also been a considerable extension in many of its • . e Partments.. An extremely well-eugrayed n w map of London, Prepared expressly for this work, faces the title-page. 11101tNING POST, NOVEMBER 30, 1844. It is jest half a century since the " Post-office London Directory" first made its appearance. But: hoer small, how limited in its objects, tow - inefficient halts attainments It then was, compared with what " now is ! London itseV, with its commerce, its extensions, its DoPttlation, its improvements of all.sorts, does not so far outstrip the London. of 1800 as the " Post-office Directory" of 1849 does that of the first year of its publication. To the energy, the enter- Prise, and the nnwearying exertions of the Messrs. Kelly this great kletropolis is indebted for havinga directory worthy of the gigantic interests contained within-its circumference. Such a directory no ether city in the world can boast of posseising. It is really amazing to open this huge volatile and centemplate the mass of information contained therein 'and when its aecuracy is tested by referring to details within oar own personal cognizance, it is impossible to withhold the exreession of our admiration tor the stupendous com - Dilation, and of our belief in its general truthfulness. The classifies- Llot, is most complete,. and.under the heads of " Official." " Street," Commercial:, " Trades " List," " Court," "Parliamentary," " Postal,'" City;"'" ' Conveyance," " Banking," &c., all the per ional and ether Information which the most. copious.directort can impart is .found with the greatest facility. This work is really a fine monument of ourscountry's.commercial greatness and persever ing industry. . MORNING . ADVERTISER, DEcumnea 2, 1848. This remarkable, bulky, and well-known work, with the publica tion for 1849 (now on the eve of being issued), reaches Its fiftieth, orjlibilee year ; and, as . if duly. to celebrate that signal event, Messrs. Kelly (for the proprietor) appear to have made, if possible, hot only elara but extraordinary exertions to distinguish it, by pre- Senting indisputably the amplest, the most clearly arranged, and the conspicuous and utilitarian cmpilation of the kind that is ""•-• known to the world. Its multifarious merits are such that it is an ;?!.,ritis.l, not Only to Me commercial -eoratintal4rof London, -and all millions who are in communication or connexion with this xi* at mercantile centre of that world, but must be in continuous re quest wherever parties have communications with England—and Where is the civilized, or half civilized land that has not such inter course? To describe its contents and peculiarities at this advanced period of its history, would be a very uncalled for claim upon the I. eader's attention. Still we cannot forbear to mention that, since t he work has fallen Into the hands of the present management, it rapidly improved, beat all competitors out of the field, is become as valuable, correct, and (comp ar a tivel y speak of, S) as compact, and yet as full aid co m p lete a work, as Ic B merchants, bankers, commercial and trading community, could desire. In fact, it leaves no directorial want unsupplied. It is a t l arvellous publication, as any one must admit who is competent to d ge of the vastness and peculiarities of this metro p olis. In its , " in uteness, it is an astonishing reality. What is it? It is a Diree. , 217 and guide to the streets, the profes s ion s, the trades, &c., of 1-,nd °c ; it is a just reflection of the capital and community of the Z flo anercial world. To achieve this great object, no labours seem: o daunted or tired, and no watchfulness or expenditure appears t o „ to "ave Impeded those who were engaged in preparing this volumi -" and perfect " London Dir. ctory."

EXAMINER, DECEMBER DECEMBER IG, 1848. It would be curious to compare this fiftieth kat, and o b serve by what steps it has grown to u blication with the its enormous bulk of Mere than two thousand pages. But the great evil of a great book does not apply to Mr. Kelly's. Its utility is in the ratio of its site. It is not one Directory, but a dozen. It is twelve rolled into one. Tke Official, the Street, the Commercial, the Trades', the Law, the Court, the Parliamentary, the Postal, the City, the Conveyance, the Banking, the Assurance Directories are all accessible within the Name corer.

This gigantic volume of business and residential information has now completed its half century, or year of jubilee ; and is, we sup pose, unrivalled in tl.e variety, utility, and precision of its facts. Upwards of two thousand pages in double and treble columns are here presented, touching the names, callings, and abodes •f people in business, or out of it, classified in every way to facilitate reference, besides particular information concerning public offices, official men, conveyances, bankers, and the Post-office. ATLAS, DECEMBER 2, 1848. We look upon this book as a national blessing. Who has not found the use of it? who has not turned the information it contains to profitable account ? It is now in the jubilee year of its existence, and, if possibly, is more compete in its details than any of its pre decessors. Its amplitude and correctness are marvellous ; and that they are duly appreciated we need no better proof than the fact of the übiquity of its presence. Go where you will you are sure to meet it. It is impossible to live a week in London without feeling the want of such a work. LITERARY GAZETTE, DECEMBER 9, 1848. Two thousand and eighty-eight pages comprise this volume, which, we believe, we may safely affirm, could only relate to Eng land and be made in England ; for all the world besides could not su ply such matter, nor furnish such means for making it tho roughly known and easily found. The production of a newspaper is a daily wonder—the "Yost-office Directory" is an annual one. The information collected is prodigious, the arrangement as near as pos sible to perfection, and as far as we can test it by many references, the details accurate to a nicety beyond eulogiam. Everybody is aware of what this Iliad, not in a nutshell, but for Its intelligence incredibly compressed, consists ; and therefore we will not enter into the particulars, but merely say that all official, social, com mercial, legal, parliamentary, courtly, and other information which may be required for conveniency, business, or pleasure, in this unbounded Babylon of ours, is here; most useful and complete in every branch and department.

Kelly; and it is within this period the work has acquired its high position—a post tion 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 upon it. • Also.

Again imagination leads her aid, In kind suggestions to the bard of trade; And under her instructions I describe A recent meeting of the cannon tribe. You'll understand that at a certain hour, I trode the purlieus of our ancient Tower; then strange to tell, the subjects of my ditty, Were holding a discussion in committee. Vast numbers of the Guns were here assembled, And as they spoke the far-famed fortress trembled. So down I sat, and down I took the speeches, And underneath you'll understand what each is. " I rise," said Fulminator, "with a notion Of calling notice to a special motion ; Nor will your mighty Gunships take amiss ;ply well-meant proposition—which is this That Messrs. MOSES' Mart of wide repute Be duly honoured with a grand salute.' I'm sure," said ke, " en looking at their CLOTHES, You'll acquiesce in what I now propose. Yes, brother inmates of this noted garrison, MOSES you know are far beyond comparison. All who behold the articles admit The beauty of their style, and make, and fit." "Just so," said Thunderbolt, "you've rightly reetoned, And willingly your motion will I second. The Mart at which I m pointing with my muzzle, To competition is a downright puzzle. THE HATS OF MOSES In the way they suit, Are equally deserving a salute. These valued tiles are such as no one shuns, So get your touch-holes ready, brother Guns." " I beg," said Fury," to support the motion, For I have often entertained the notion. And when I see the worth of MOSES' BOOTS, I think they merit fifty grand salutes. The Boots and Shoes of MORES, firmly wrought, Cause, like the Tower Guns, a good report." " That's perfectly correct," said Cannon Bellow, " The Mart of NI OSES never had its fellow And this, you know, applies to MOSES' FUR, Se, fire away, and make a glorious stir." . 1 Bravo," said Waterloo, " prepare your noses, And don't forget THE HOSIERY OF MOSES. You know the Hosiery is good and cheap, Give it a sally, boys, let no one sleep." The motion being put, at once was carried. And I to see the issue, gladly tarried. The firing soon commenced, when all around, The City echoed with the moving sound ; And while the Guns in grand salutes were firing, Thousands at MOSES' Warehouse were attiring ; And often was the observation made— That MOSES' are the " Two Great Guns" of trade.

Physical incapacity, anti broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, _ . 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 covers 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 are always injarious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, 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 in 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 frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking tor assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of Jiseate, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession cf the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LAO:SIERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

H E en S ry T. Bi A P rd, subject the important opfh th workhouse direct ors o f the parish, has made a report dietary a r o c f as follows : " At your request I h ave carefully entered into the paragraph subject of the dietary allowed to the children, and, previous to doing so, examined the various articles used for that purpose; and it is only an act of justice to the tradesmen (who are perfect strangers to me) to say that they are not only of go9d_quality, but some very superior, more especially the potatoes, which are better than I can procure for my own table; in fact, were they not excellent, and knowing that many of last year's growth were diseased, I should (under your present circumstances) have recommended that this article of food be omitted for the present, and bread substituted. I may as well remark here, that I think this latter requires improvement, it so soon becomes dry with a tendency to acidity. I am in duced to suggest that the mode of cooking the pota toes should be altered, for this reason : all children are more or leas prone to bolt their food, as it is com monly termed, and I know from eiperience that whenever sickness takes place, even some hours after dinner, pieces as large as nutmegs have been rejected perfectly undigested, which, .of itself alone, would cause considerable intestinal irritation. The plan I propose is to mash them well with any roast meat dripping or superfluous milk or beef tea that may be in the house, and reduce the same as under :—Five to seven years, 8 ounces whole to 6 ounces mashed ; seven to fifteen years, 12 ounces whole to 8 ounces mashed. Let me now draw your attention to the milk porridge. It is very good ; but lam sure no parents in a respectable situation of life would allow any child under seven yeari of age to put three quarters of a pint of fluid into its stomach, no matter of what description ; and I am satisfied that to the quantity of fluid is mainly to be attributed the pen dulous stomachs which many children have. I would, therefore, make use of the same ingredients, but more concentrated, so that the same amount of nutriment should be contained in a less quantity of fluid, say thus :—Five to seven years, 12 ounces reduced to 8 ; seven to fifteen years, 16 ounces reduced to 12. This, with their allowance of bread, is quite as much in bulk as any stomach can comfortably digest, especially on the three days when it is followed up with pea soup, one pint for dinner; and on Saturday I would either give them their usual dinner bread, or a little boiled rice." THE INQUEST AT HACKNEY. EXTRAORDINARY TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDINGS. Yesterday morning Mr. Baker resumed, for the fourth time, the adjourned inquest, at the Old Mer maid, Hackney, touching the deaths of the four pauper children, belonging to the parish of Islington, who died at the temporary asylum, Hackney, in Y few hours suiisequent to their removal from ,Mr. Drouct's, at Tooting, on the Bth January. (1 The jury having answered to their names, The CORONER said would read the following communication which had just been plaged in his hands :- 29. 1040". " Sir,—l am much obliged for your letter of the 25th instant, informing me of another adjournMent of the inquest now pending at the Old Mermaid, Hackney. I assure you it was my intention to have been present at the inquest to-morrow (Tuesday), but being unsuccessful in arranging my bail, I am advised by my solicitors to remain away. " I am very anxious to afford you every explana- tion and information relative to the late melancholy occurrences, and therefore trust my present painful position will be deemed sufficient excuse for my adopting their advice.-4 am, sir, your most obedient servant, ___ "B. P. DROUET. " To' W. Baker, Esq., Coroner, Old Mermaid, Hackney." The CORONER—Gentlemen, under the peculiar cir cuustances of this case, you perhaps are unprepared for the decision I have come to, namely, to discharge you from further attendance, and thereby dispense with any further inquiry into the matter.—(Sensa tion.) In coining to this conclusion, I have done so advisedly; for it has been pointed out to me that at the present moment it would be more proper, both with regard to the individual who is in a short time about to undergo a trial upon a verdict of man slaugter, and the judges who are to preside over that trial, that the course of justice should be rendered quite pure, and left unsu lied by any other proceedings arising from a different source. Now, any decision we might come to in this case would, in all probability, tend to prejudice the case already made out against the un fortunate man. There has been many reports in the daily papers, and a variety of comments thereon, cal culated under the peculiar circumstances in which various inquiries have placed this matter, to do a great deal of mischief, but to those reports of course I can do no more than allude. I f e lt a t fi rs t a g reat i deal of difficulty n entering upon these proceedings, seeing that no inquiry has been instituted in the county of Surrey, where alone the investigation ought to have commenced, and it does seem to me an extra ordinary fact that we, who have not the power to view Mr. Drouet's establishment in that county, should be called upon to exercise a duty of this description when so much may depend upon the result of our labours as affecting the proprietor of the Tooting asylum. It is now quite clear that the verdict of manslaughter, be it good or not, or whether or not it be supported by another verdict, will bring before another and a higher tribunal the whole proceedings in reference to the deaths of all these chil dren, and of course including the deaths of these at Hackney. I will n o t en t er u pon the cir cumstances attending the removal of these children from the parish of Islington, as i t h as b een s h own t o us by Mr. Oldersnaw, that there was no proper place to be found for them, after their removal from Toot ing, except at Hackney. The disease broke out at Tooting upon the 39th of De:ember, and these chil dren were removed upon the Sth of January, and it is a very remarkable circumstaace in the case before us, that the nurse who came from Islington with these children, and who never was at Tooting, died from cholera after attending upon them. Who therefore can undertake to say that the deaths which have arisen occurred from residence at Tooting, or from any subsequent affection ? There are various and conflicting opinions as to this visitation being cholera at all, but it is quite clear, at any rate, that, after their removal, all that could be done for the children was done for them. I discharge myself of this duty there could not g—it is out of no eet perfectly to c you o , n g s c e i n e t n l e t i m o u e n s e f e o l n d fr i o sr m es a p have been a more careful jury, or one actuated by purer motives. It is my wish that this man, who is already charged with an offence involving the whole 150 deaths which have taken place, should have due justice done to him. The who!e ease is now before the public, and it is due to the administration of justice that we should not interfere in it s course b y our verdict. Impartial justice requ i res no cumulative charges, for its ends are answered if a fair and im partial trial is given. Dee daily occurring observa tions in the public papers with referenee to this case, and, as I said before, which may or may not be cor rect, but which certainly have a tendency to taint the source of justice, and it is painful that it should be so ; for I will ask you whether, upon a case of a trial, you would like an inquiry of this nature should be going forward when all your energies would he required in another direction e Ido not shrink from this inquiry, for it is of no importance to me whether we sat here for six months if it were rendered neces sary, but circumstances with which you are all ac quainted make it unnecessary to prosecute it any further. With regard m y o wn fees, they will never be charged to the county, but I shall feel myself bound to discharge all other fees as far as they go—whether I sh a ll rece i ve them again rests with her Majesty's justices of the peace. I need not detain you any further by my ob servations, and it only remains f or me to discharge you in the usual fora). Mr. Merry (a juror)—Pray, is it common to con- L.: ~___ _ _: _ r • IN i v , JANUARY 31, 1849. elude inquiries of this nature in such a singular way? The CORONER—It is quite regular. Mr. King. ( a juror) —I never heard of such a proceeding before. You do this of course upon your own responsibility ? The CORONER—The judges permit a discretion in these cases—to be sure it is not often exercised. A juror —Can we return an open verdict:? The CORONER—The inquiry is now finished. The Foreman—You have certainly taken us by surprise. A juror —We were prepared with our verdict. The CORONER—The inquiry is over and the jury are discharged. I have taken great pains to arrive at a just conclusion, and it is better for all that it should end without unnecessary injury to any person, there being no cause for complaint so long as the ends of justice are answered. _ The jury were then formally discharged, and thus ended this singular shadow of an inquiry. The following verdict was handed to the reporters as having been unanimously agreed to by the jury prior to the coroner's arrival:— " We find that the deceased children, John Keen, John Burke, 'William Neevan, and William Walton, of the parish of Islington, died of cholera, at Hack ney; and that the predisposing causes have arisen from bad treatment and neglect on the part of Bar tholomew Peter Drouet towards the deceased whilst in his establishment at Tooting, and that the said Bartholomew Peter Drouet was actuated thereto by mercenary motives." COL. Trt-10.31PSON AT BRADFORD THE CHOLERA AT TOOTING. Yesterday morning Mr. Wakley, M.P., resumed, in the board-room of the Chelsea Workhouse, the second adjourned inquest on Martha Pollington, Emma Ingus, Mary Killick, and George Hartley, children who died cholera in Mr. Drouet's establishment at Tooting; the board-room was crowded to suffocation. Mr. Kite way recalled, at the desire of the guardians, to prove it would have been dangerous to remove the deceased on the 9th iutant. He said that it would be dangerwis to remove these affected with cholera, and that all, with the exception of Hartley, who was at tacked on the I 1 th, had been seized with cholera on the 9th. Evidence was then given as to the treatment of the children at Mr. Drouet's; but it, as well as the state ments of most of the witnesses, was .a repetition of the testimony received on former occasions. Thomas Mills, aged 12, one of the Kensington chil dren, said he had not had half enough to eat at Mr. Drouet's, whence he ran away twice. On the first occa sion, when he was brought back, his head was shaved, and he was left in the ichool-room from seven o'clock in the morning to twelve o'clock in the day, without any clothes but his shirt. The boy who ran away with him was similarly treated. They were not allowed sufficient water to drink. Thomas Beech, aged 12, another Kensington boy, gave similar evidence. After some further evidence, Mr. Warden, house surgeon at Chelsea workhouse, opened the bodies of deceased, and found that their deaths resulted from cholera. Last July he inspected the Chelsea children in Mr. Drouet's. Some were af flicted with ophthalmia, others with scurvy, and others with scalded heads. Otherwise, and generally spe a ki ng , they appeared in tol era bly goo d health. Mr. Gaskell, surgeon and guardian, stated, that in the first instance he recommended the non-removal of the children from Mr. Drouet's, as the overcrowding had been diminished, the medical staff and nurses were in creased, and the dietary improved. Another reason for this advice was, that room could not be found for the children. Mr. Ryder, chairman of the board of zuardiaas, ox. pressed himself fully satisfied with Mr. Gaskell's state. meet. After sitting fourteen hours, the jury adjourned at mid. night to this day, when Mr. Wakley will sum up. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant-George E. K.

PRIZE MONEY FOR THE CLEOPATRA.-Halford and Co. have given notice to the officers and crew late of the Cleopatra, Captain Wyvil, that an account of tonnage bounties and proceeds, received for the under mentioned captures, will be forthwith deposited in the registry of the High Court of Admiralty :-Ken tacky, captured May 18, 1846; Constante, captured July 12, 1846; Improviso, captured Nov. 12, 1846. The Contest, 12, Commander M‘Murdo, had sent in her fifteenth prize to St. Helena by the 24th ult. She was a very fine schooner, but was an empty one. A QUICK SAILER.-The Espiegle, 12 gun sloop, Commander Campbell, now at Sheerness, to be paid off, made her passage from Ascension to Plymouth Sound in twenty-six days, and from the Cape forty five days, including two days' stoppages. The Es piegle brought home passengers Mr. A. I. Little, late surgeon of the Inflexible, and Mr. J. Holden, late clerk of the Medea, invalids; Mr. White, midship man, late Childers, and Mr. Vincent, midshipman, late of the Mariner, seventeen invalid seamen and marines, seven soldiers, two women, and eight chil dren. It may be remembered this vessel, built by the School of Naval Architecture, made the quickest pas sage ever known to Teneriffe, on her way to China, on which station she has been employed. Three years and ten months have elapsed since she left Eng land, and four years and five months since she has been in commission. The only changes which have taken place among her officers since she left England have been through deaths and promotions, a circum stance unparalleled, considering the length of time she has been away. The only men-of-war she has had an opportunity of trying with, since the experi mental trials, have been the Daedalus, Ringdove, Chil ders, Columbine, and Wolverine. With the three first many trials took place, and on all points she beat them very much indeed. With the two latter a single trial with each took place, when she proved herself again successful. In addition to which she has beaten all the opium clippers in China with whom she tried, in fact, she has never been passed by any vessel under any circumstance, during her absence. These facts are undeniable, and speak well for those who con structed her. She has made a daily average of 154 miles from the Cape, and 171 from Ascension. PLYMOUTH, JAN 29.-Le Pylade, French Govern ment brig, 20, Captain Pirouneau, which arrived here damaged from Martinique, on the 15th of January, having been repaired, sailed this morning for her port of destination, Brest.

A letter from the Southampton, 50, Captain Corry, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, C. 8., dated Simon's Bay, Dec. 1, says :—" We had a very fine passage all the way out, and not a long one either, considering we remained four days at Madeira. We are all very comfortable on board, and like the cap tain and admiral much. It has been blowing ever since we came in. They say it always does five days out of the seven."

Lovm AND SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, between one and two o'clock, Mr. Thomas Brown, a master baker, residing in Hungerford-street, St. George's-in-the-East, committed suicide in th e L on d on D oc k s. Th e d ecease d was respectably co nnec t e d, an d was possesse d o f some little property. For some time past he had become much attached to a female named Harris, but she did not re turn his affections, and refused to become his wife. On Monday night he went to Harris's lodgings in New Gravel-lane, Shadwell, and threatened todestroy hims, 1f it she did not consent to become his wife. She again declined, and he immediately ran down stairs into the street, followed by two females, who heard bis threats. Before he reached the swivel -bridge the two females suc ceeded in catching hold of his coat, and endeavoured to make him return, but he eluded their grasp, and ran on to the swivel bridge, and before any person could prevent him, he precipitated himself over the railings into the tobacco basin of the London Docks. An alarm was in stantly raised, and after the elapse of twenty minutes be was recovered, but life was foun o d nly to 23 ye bar rs ite of asextie.nct. The u nfertunate young mn was Colonel Thompson, one of the representatives of the borough of Bradford, met his constituents last Monday evening, in a crowded meeting, at the Tem perance-hall, for the purpose of explaining his con duct in the last session, and his views upon the prime cipal topics likely to be discussed in the ensuing one. Alderman S. Smith was unanimously called to the chair. Colonel Trio - mesosi commenced by explaining that the object he had in view in meeting his constituents was to learn their views upon the leading topics of the day, so that he might be enabled to work with them in the promotion of that glo‘rious cause i n w hi c h they were all embarked. Ile adverted to the events of the past year, which, he said, had been most im portant, both at home and abroad—more important abroad than at home. The people of France had ex changed their monarchy for a republic. He did not wish to see the example followed in England, though he was desirous of having republican institutions grafted on the monarchy of England. Having de fended the French people from the reflection cast upon them by the election of a Bonaparte to the presi dency—which, he observed, was considered by them a kind of victorious restoration of a family which had been driven from their throne by foreign bayonets— be said that the people of France, with few excep tions, were as peacefully disposed as the people of this country ; and he augured that the peace societies would find that'though they might not realise the whole de mand they had written down, they would yet gain Iss. in the pound. He alluded to the deputation which had waited upon him in reference to the very important local question of French merinos. They represented to him that the French were giving a bounty upon all merinos exported, and the conse quence was that the Bradford market - was stoCked with them, to the exclusion of the English merinos— an-article- that constitutes elmost the staple trade of Bradford. They, therefore, desired him to attend the deputation in an interview with the Minister, praying him to intimate that, where a bounty was given by a foreign nation there would be a corresponding import duty laid in this country. He did not attend the de putation, but he went to some of the Ministers in the House of Commons, and by them was informed that there was no bounty given on French merinos, though a drawback was allowed. This settled the question, because they could no,t interfere in a drawback upon & duty which had been previously laid. He was happy to inform his constituents that he had not been absent from a single division during the session. Adverting to the Committee appointed last session to inquire into the operations and effect on the slave trade of the African squadron, he said that he feared the present gbneration were not equal to their fathers in their zeal in the great and glorious work of aboli tion. He feared that there was a great chance of the return of the slave trade upon the coast of Africa ; a dead set' was being made in some parts of the country for that end upon the plea that the African squadron added to the sufferings of the slaves without putting a stop ti the traffic. Now let them bring their strong Yorkshire sense to bear upon that argument. Time had been when the Algerines were notorious pirates, and seized both ships and men, applying the former to their own use, or scuttling them, and selling the latter, into slavery. Now the Government of this country deemed it their duty to put a stop to this, and employed their navy for the purpose. What would they have thought of a ship's crew, taken by the Algerines, and being conveyed into sla very, crying out to a British man-of-war, "Oh, don't put a stop to these pirates; don't interfere with them ; let them do as they like with us, lest they be made savage by your thrashing of them, and so treat us all the worse if they escape ?" Why, they would say, " These men talk like idiots ; it is our duty as a nation to do all in our power to repress these horrid proceedings."—(Applause.) But it was said that the course pursued was calculated to injure our trade with slave countries. Their fathers were better men ; and those who returned a IViiherforce and a Clark son to Parliament acted from higher motives than mere pounds, shillings, and pence. To the men of the West Hiding, then, he would say, "Go ye, and do likewise." The Gallant Colonel, after some ob servations anent the presentation of the Chartist peti tion, said that he had attempted, when the motion of Mr. Hume for the extension of the franchise was framed, to obtain. ehe insertion of an universal suf frage clause, and, lamas suocessful to- the- extent of drawing from them a declaration in favour of all householders. That motion received the suffrages of 84 Members, and in the next session it might have 184. Whoever expected, he inquired, the last session to carry a measure in favour of the ballot; yet that was done upon the motion of a member of the aristocracy, too, seconded by himself. The Hon. Member con cluded by requesting that questions might be put to him, as he was anxious to learn the opinions of his constituents; and he sat down amidst loud applause. Having replied to several questions, he then adverted to the probable topics of the coming session, foremost amongst which, he said, would be the financial reform question. Although he did not prognosticate the literal fulfilment of everything which had been set down upon paper on that head, yet they might make themselves quite satisfied that financial reform must be carried to a very great extent; and if the party now in power would not do it there were,gthers ready to take th e i r pl aces , an d perform the iWople's will. They might cheerfully look forward to the future, so far as that was concerned; for England would not again submit to the enormous and extravagant expen diture hitherto existing. To the people he would say, " For heaven's sake carry the principle as far as you possibly can, and never be afraid of any one carrying retrenchment too far." The last news from France was that they intended to reduce their army 120,000 men ; that would make the French Government the most popular in the world, and as it was a simple rule-of three question the English Government would be forced to make a corresponding reduction in the army of this country. But the Government must be pushed upon that as on all other questions, and if they were pushed they would most certainly yield. There was a kind of perpetual combat between the people and the Go vernment ; and if the former insisted on driving, the latter must work for their pleasure. Then came the question of freedom of religion, to which the discon tent of Dissenters with the present system and the misconduct of the Church were fast tending. One half of the Church of England was half way over to Papacy, and they were going over to it as fast as they could drive. So long as ministers of the Establish ment, as a body, were found supporting liberal Pro testantism they might have maintained their position ; but they had now rendered a struggle inevitable, and it behoved all liberal men to take the right side. Mr. Reaysoet (town councillor), asked whether the Colonel would support the separation of Church and State ? Colonel Thompson replied that he should, two years ago, have answered in the negative ; but now he thought he could show good reasons for say ing yes. In answer to a question from a working man. " Would he give :up his pension as a national pauper, in order to help forward the work of retrench taent?"—the Hon. Member said that he possessed no li thing for which he had not worked and paid for three times over; but if any man would prove that half-pay was unjust he would vote for its abolition. He thought there were too many officers in the army ; but he did not make it so; and if they would help him he would strive to reduce the number. He replied to a question whether he would support an arbitration clause in all treaties, that he would vote for the insertion of a clause to the effect that if there should anydispute arise as to theinterpretation of any part of that treaty, it should be referred to a third party; but he was of opinion that it would be impossible to get any two nations to say that in all disputes, of whatever sort or kind, they would submit to the arbie tration of another party. As far as he could see a practicable mode of carrying it out, he was disposed to vote for the insertion of arbitration clauses in trea ties between nations. With regard to the Ten Hours Factory Bill, h e sa id h e wou ld not p l e d ge himself, but if an att em pt were ma d e b y th e minll-othwenirers side to repeal it, he would hear the argument as well as on the part o f the workpe according to the best of his judgment. of following resolution was adopted :—" t h is meeting es is in the House of Commons during last session de adg " T i e fi n e a f n o d l o d of his opinion that Colonel Thompson 's atten tion and vo tes serve the thanks of this meeting a constitu ents generally." Jt in. 30, 1849. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Si R,-I am the son of an agricultural labourer,' being one of a family of eleven children. The • priv E tions and difficulties the family had to encounter may • be assumed. • I Lt an agricultural meeting, *pule ten years ago, my worthy father obtained a prize - Of three pounds , for good conduct (that is for saving the parish funds, be co , having tou2laed the parish cash). The owner of a sow at the same meeting • obtained ten pounds. Ho , hr much better the sow than the man. My father is n cm, from old age, and the infirmities yvhich q sevel re labour brings—in the union poor-house. My : motl ler, thank God, is dead ; and I find myself at, thirt y years of age treading their steps, with no beti.lar prospects. I ask myself was this intended by, the Great Ruler of all ? Or is it man's doing?, So n.ie tell me it is free trade ; some a want of Bishops' and churches, and some the want of the Charter, and, sore e taxation. With free trade, I cannot think to a consumer,- wl rich I am, of all I earn, cheapness is an evil; Wii th Bishops and churches, I cannot understand wl cat good they will do to me. I see many churches' wi.th small congregations. With the Charter and its. points, I think they are not unjust; but as a re inedy for me distant. Taxation comes home to us all . My earnings are from ten to' .twelve shillings: pe r week, which I find expended in 'meal, groceries, clothing, &c., and which oast is increased by taxation, 4s or more. Now I know it is right and just I' she ► . 1.1141 pay for protection, and the maintenance of my rights as a man against the more powerful and against. ana reny : for this and conducting of government I should be called on to pay perhaps Is. or lt. 6d.; but that I should be forced to p a y 2 s. 6d. also for the payment of the interest of a debt called nat Tonal, incurred before I was born, and for unjust was !s, and for what is by some called keeping down t class to which I belong, I think very unjust. IT( .w, shoW me lam in debt; the just laws of our icoi intrY betwoep man . and man, say if you do not eive assets, you are not compelled to pay your' fat! 3er's debts. If this debt, contracted during the life, of my father is his, which G o d k nows h e h a d notzl sing t o d o w ith, from him I had not any thin,g. But suppose they had the right to burthen the present time, by easing their own shoulders, of , a hid] they were the judges —see the absurdity, pursue their course, and borrow for our present wa nts ' and leave it t o th e f uture to b ear. Ido not; deny there is a debt owing to the national crt:ditur, say A, which B contracted, but I deny the ju: itice of making C pay it. The dishonesty of m:Lking C pay that which he does not owe, can only be equalled by B not paying. Wh a t I call upon the pr operty of the country to do is to make an effort and ar range with the national creditor, and no longer rob me, of honest earnings at the rate of 2s. 61 per week or more. I am, Sir, &c., A PLOUGHMAN. RELIANCE MUTUAL ASSURANCE SOCIETY.—The eTlecheti°nwar half-yearly meeting of the members of this society was held yesterday at the society's offices, King William street, H. P. Prinsep, Esq., in the chair. The Secretary road the report, which stated that the number of poli cies taken out during the past year exceeded that of the previous year, whilst the cases in which the pay ment of premiums had been discontinued were fewer. The directors congratulated the members of the society on the fact that during the year not one life had lapsed so as to create a cllim on the funds.—The Chairman said it afforded him great satisfaction that he was able to state that the society was 2t i i r 9, l ,onn a l p tow r Ty o ih s th p evo e biu r su o lt us condition. The property of the society might be stated at 25,0001., and of this amount 17,0004 was invested in the public Funds. A 3 a proof of the caution exercised by the directors when insuring lives, he might state that they had declined proposals to the amount of 29,0001., and that the average age of the members of th e society was only 40 years. He was happy to inform them that the business of the society was not confined to the United Kingdom, for one agency had already been established in Germany, and another in India.—After some further business had been disposed of, the report was adopted, and a vote of thanks having been given to the Chairman and Directors, the meeting separated. MASTER BOOT AND SHOEMAKERS' PROTIDSNT AND BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—Yesterday eveaing the thirteenth annual general meeting of the donors and subscribers of the above institution was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, to receive the report, elect officers, and on general business; Mr. Robert Taylor, president, in the chair.

Various rumours are in circulation as to the cause which could prompt a lady in her elevated station, and surrounded with every apparent comfort, to contemplate such an act.—Devonshire Chronicle. PROVINCIAL BEGGARS.—The London magistrates are daily sending begging impostors to prison, that they may suffer that which they heartily abhor—hard work. Meanwhile the routed mendicant army seems to have made a descent on Liverpool, and our streets are in fested with tribes of 'sturdy vagrants, who crowd the doors of hotels, confectioners' shops, and theatres. Those who frequent the places of public amusement are the most anroying. No sooner do they observe an indi vidual who from age, obesity, or weakness, cannot pass quickly over the ground, or, better still, a gentleman escorting a lady (for ladies walk slowly), than they join the party, and pertinaciously pursue or keep company till they attain their object. An individual reading, o r two or more individuals standing in earnest conversa tion, are capital game for them. Upon such unfortu nates they incontinently pounce, like hawks on helpless chickens, and there is no alternative but either to run away from them, thus perhaps relinquishing the bu s i. ness in hand, or, to dismiss them with a gratuity—th at is, to bribe them to discontinue their posting import& nity.--Liverpooltilbien. ~ , • i :, a l s o :. h o a n r g a e df forded etdh slipping OBTAINING MONET BT MEANS OF FORGED SEA• 27a.nother simil MEN'S SIIIPPria NOTES. —A respectably-dressed elderly ne w woo e ot it e merta s wna, and afterwards tnd ha mi:esvd° i n3agi sumf r or o yb m taEui theerodd upon same note; l p oi cumer some t the Prisoner,vesse ebekiandfoarggaeirny; er a e were four other lb, but t n t d h e w e e v r i e . ported to be written by a captainTohf t h ie im sa t m o dence being incomplete she was c s a ta s t e e s d o b f y t remanded for a week.
