At a scii=on %Olen wri 'ha." other period throughout r,e vicar, ;t b. Unit, Lt r du! ,if th.• Committee of a Society founded for the expre , s purl ow ,d -ministering to the sorrows inevitably produced by such dis asters, to press, with 10 ,, re than usual earnestness, the claims of their institution to universal liberal sm,port. At the commencement of the year 1542, the Board of Man agement of the Shipwrecked Fishermen and 'Mariners' Bene volent Society come before the British public with no mere declaration of intentions, which may or may not prove of utility in their fulfilment ; but they can point to what their institu tion has already done, and can direct attention to the fact that 1,217 w id ows and orphans have been aided and protected, when their natural helpers and comforters have been taken from them by a sudden and often .premature death, and that 2,510 sea men are now earning their bread by hottest and praiseworthy industry —for whom, but for the existence of this Society, the Miseries of want and the degradation of pauperism would have been their only and their bitter portion. From those who desire in the year jtist commencing that the character of British seamen should remain as independent as it harever been the nation's boast to declare it ; and who would wish the British seaman to continue proud of his country, which, whilst it profits by his labours in the hour of prosperity, does not forget him in the time of his greatest sorrew—this in stitution claims cordial and generous co-operation. From those who sympathise with her who mourns the loss of the husband of her bosom— who would act the parent's part towards those whom the storm of a single night has left desti tute and desolate, liberal assistance is solicited, to cause in the approaching year, through the instrumentality of this Society, the heart of many a widow and an orphan to rejoice, for whom otherwise the new year (which they are anticipating as a happy one), is destined to be one of unmitigated sorrow. The Committee have now respectfully to remind those kind friends who are already enrolled as annual supporters, that the Ist of J anuary is the day fixed, by the Rules and Regulations, for renewing their periodical payments; and the Boatel are in duced to hope that when the extensive benefits the Institution has conferred, and the smallness of the contribution (which is only half-a-crown), are thus made publicly known, the list of patrons will on the present occasion be very greatly increased. Fishermen and Seamen are earnestly advised promptly to re peat their subscriptions • as, in the event of loss of life or pro- Petty, those only who shall have paid for the year 1842 will be entitled to the Additional Relief grawed to such persons as are Members of the Society. Whilst so low a sum as 2s. 6d. has been thus selected (to enable the humbler classes to lend their assistance to this na tional cause, and more especially those for whose benefit the charity was instituted), the -Board cannot but trust that those Who have the power to aid in a much more ample manner so benevolent and usefu a undertaking, will not he defscietitin the inclination to do so.

" Non est vivere sed valere vita."—MA RTIAL. " Life is only life, when blest with Health." THE finest System of Ethics is to confine with in due bounds, and thus to regulate the Passions, which unrestrained and insubordinate, impetuously destroy those barriers which Religion and Morality have made sacred; to curb, but not annihilate them, appears the lesson of prudence best calculated to limit their effervescence Every disorganization of the human frame requires great medical knowledge to remedy, and the public welfare is promoted when r•ro fessional men (disregarding the suggestions of the envious and into. rested) devote their studies to the treatment of those complaints ge nerated by imprudence and the ebullition of the passions at an un guarded moment. " The strength of a nation consists in the health of the people;" but it is melancholy to reflect on the daily sacrific.t to the ignorant and unfeeli g empyricism, and t , counteract, as far as poFsible, it; further ravages, we offer to suffering humanity the result of our own experience in the various disea es of Debility. The unwary victim of solitary vice (early acquired at school, before rea son has asserted her right overt' e mind), will, in contempt ding his powerless state, become susceptible of enlivening sensations, in know ing that the most complicated state of exhaustion may be roused into manly energy. Intense study—immoderate anxiety—long resi. dome in tropical Climes, and many other causes, will frequently de range the Nervous System; in such cases we can hold out an as. surance of re-animation, by a treatment which has long answered the sanguine hopes of Patients of bo h sexes. That bane to human happiness, SYPHILIS, can now be treated fearlessly, the improved state of Medical Science having divested its anti •ote of those distressing properties that so long rendered its ex hibitio uncer ain and harrassing Some peculiarities incisiental to the softer sex have not escape.l our attention ; in which mildness, combined with efficacy, has superseded the means usually adopted In fine, our system is unique, ,ecullarly energetic, and eminently succe , sful. _ _ Daily attendance is given tot personal consultation; and letters from the country are immediately answered; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicines, which can be forwarded to any part 01 the world, however distant.

The principles upon which the business of this office is con ducted, is to afford temporary Loans to persons assuring their lives with the Company, upon terms calculated with reference to the amount of the Assurance effected, and the nature of the security offered for their repayment. This mode of employing the capital of the Association, is the adoption of means for augmenting the number of lives assured, and of greatly in creasing the profits beyond those of a Life Assurance Company only. And this will be found one of the must valuable prin ciples of Assurance, on account of its capability of being ap plied immediately and permanently to the benefit of the As sured himself, whilst living, as well as to others after decease. Individuals possessing real or personal property, Officers in the Army or Navy, Clergymen,' Professional men, Merchants, Tradesmen, and persons of respectability and character, may, it' assured with this Association, obtain advances for periods very trig from Three Months to any other agreed peridit in amounts of 501. and upwards, upon either real or personal security, to be approved of by the Directors, including the security of Policies effected by parties with this Association, according to their value at the time of the Loan. The Directors are persuaded that by combining confidence with caution, and carrying fairly and liberally into effect this comprehensive system of Luan in connexion with Life Assur ance, they will not only consult the permanent prosperity of the Association, but at the same time rentier the Institution si g nally beneficial to the great mass of the community. Having thus premised the General objects of the Associa tion, it is necessary briefly to state, THE REGULATIONS OF THE COMPANY. A Deed of Settlement will be forthwith prepared for regu lating the affairs of the Association, and for limiting the re sponsibility of the Shareholder, until either an Act of Parlia ment or a Charter may be obtained ; such Deed to be settled and approved by Counsel. The Capital of the Association shall consist of Five Hundred Thousand Pounds, divided into 20,000 Shares, of 25/. each. The Deposit is 21. 10s. per Share; which, it is expected, will be sufficient to obviate the necessity of any further call ; and Interest at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum will be al lowed upon all Deposits from the time of . payment into the Bank of the Association. The Accounts shall be audited yearly. The original Directors and Auditors shall remain in office five years; after which time Three Directors and one Auditor will retire, annually ; but will be eligible for re-election. Any vacancy which may occur in the interim, either among the Directors or Auditors, will be filled up by the remaining Directors. A Special General Meeting of Proprietors shall be convened by public Advertisement in the month of July, 1847, and afterwards annually, to receive a Report of the progress of the business of the Company, and an account of such other matters as the Directors may deem it proper to submit to them. The Qualification of voting by Proprietors at every Special and General Meeting shall be according to the following scale, viz.:— The Holder of 15 Shares shall be entitled to One Vote. 25 ••• ••• ... Two Votes. 50 ... ... ... Three Votes. 100 ~. ... Four Votes. And an additional Vote for every subsequent Fifty Shares. But no Proprietor shall have a Vote in virtue of any Shares unless such Shares shall have been at least Six Months in his or her name, previous to such Special or General Meeting. Assurances may be effected for 501. and upwards, not only on the lives of persons resident in the United Kingdom, but also on the lives of parties resident anywhere within and even beyond the limits of Europe, including Foreigners of all nations at Rates proportionate to the nature of the risk. To Naval and Military Officers, at home and abroad, every facility will be given for effecting Assurances on their lives.

THE thirty-fifth testimonial in favour of HOL LAND'S BALSAM of SPRUCE, and second letter from Lynn : "Dear Sir—l am truly astonished at the effects I witnessed on a poor man to whom I gave in the first instance the remains of my last bottle of your most excellent Balsam of Spruce. He had caught a most violent cold, accompanied with a pain in the side, much fever, and shortness of breath ; indeed, so distressing was his situation, as to be extremely painful to all about him; his cough so incessant that it was expected lie would burs•. a blood-vessel, and thus end his stifferings and his life. It was at this juncture I took him the last bottle I had of you, and directed them to give it a trial. I called to see him two days after, and found him so wonderfully better, that his family were exceedingly anxious he should go on with it ; he was, in fact, comparatively comfortable; the cough now only came on twice or thrice a-day, and then without that dis tension of the blood-vessels of the forehead and other alarming symytoms ; the tightness of the chest was much relieved, and the pain in the side gone. He has continued the Balsam ever since (now a fortnight), is nearly well, and considers himself much indebted to you for his recovery, and requests me to write this. " I find it is soldby my neighbour, Mr. Whittingham, as you wrote, from whom I shall get it for the future ; and remain, dear Sir, yours very truly, "J. MOORE. " Lynn, March 18, 1841." . _ This Case will be immediately followed by others, to the nu nber of nearly one hundred, already received ; its as tonishing power in subduing Coughs and Culls exceeds all belief, whilst its healing, balsamic, and sDothing qualities in stantly relieve soreness and tightness of the chest, sense of suffocation, sore throat, &c.

The following is the PROSPECTUS already published Experience has established the valve and importance of Life Assurance to all classes of the community; and the prosperity attending the institutions of this nature, which have already been founded. incontestibly proves the soundness of the princi ples upon which its calculations are based. But the system of Life Assurance, however valuable to the members of the community in general, as affording the means of either entirely providin2, fur, or of greatly enlarging the re sources of their families after death, may yet be regarded as more immediately and especially beneficial to those persons who are wholly dependent upon their own exertions for sup. port, or who have only a life-interest in the property they pos sess. It is valuable also, inasmuch as it enables individuals with fixed incomes, (from whatever source derived, whether from Government or other situations, or from pensions or an nuities for lives), to pOpetuate them to their representatives —offers entire indemnity to creditors against loss by the demise of debtors—secures the continuance of leases determinable upon lives, and renewable by fine—attaches responsibility to personal security, thereby assisting individuals to obtain such temporary aid, by way of loan, as may be necessary for conducting their business, or the fulfilment of their engagements—anticipating, and altogether providing against the inconvenience and injury often occasioned by the withdrawal of capital from business on the death of a partner. In short,• it is available to persons in every profession, trade, office, and circumstance; and, under all the modifications, and constantly occurring varieties of con tingent interests, dependent upon the duration of life. Nevertheless, strange to say, but very few persons have hi.. therto availed themselves of the inestimable benefits which Life Assurance is so well adapted to bestow—their number being only about 88,000 out of the vast population of the United Kingdom. It is, therefore, evident that an ample field remai ns open for the exertions of a new Company of a similar charac ter. Moreover, it must be evident that if such Company can, irrespective of the advantages usually proffered by the Societies already established, and without risk to the interests either of the Proprietors or of the Assured, propose other benefits highly useful and important to both, it must safely and successfully enter into competition with the existing Institutions with full ccr.fidence in the support of the public. Of the large profits which have been derived by the Sh:tre nolders in some of the principal Assurance Companies, an idea may be formed by the perusal of the following short Table, which has been compiled from the most authentic sources; and, from this, it must be manifest, that a Company which, in addition to the-ordinary business of Life Assurance, embraces also the business of a Loan Bank to the Assured, will, if ably conducted, offer to the Capitalist a secure and productive in vestment, without trouble or the danger of pecuniary loss.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact i n in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret praetices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs , putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tahes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dis astrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

Country Patients are requested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases—as to the duration of the complaint, toe symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the usual Consultation Fee of 1., without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all eases. the mort. inviolablz? %vireo: may he relied on.

" The plaintiff's publication was one of considerable bulk, and most probably of great utility : and so the Vice-Chan cellor of England must have thought by granting the injunc tion ex parte, and continuing that proceeding upon motion made to dissolve it." Vide " Times" of 20th December, 1841.—Judgment of his Honour Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce, confirming the Injunc tion obtained against the " Post-Office Almanac," fur pirating Post-Office Directory." The following Reviews of the Complete Directory have al ready appeared : Times, December 3, 1841. This useful matter-of-fact volume has just been published by Mesas. 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 prescnt 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, of all persons holding situations in the East 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 \Vales is given, together with the amount of stamp ditties on advertisements paid by each paper respectively, 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 such a work as this the minute attention it deserves, it appears to be compiled with indefatigable industry, extreme vigilance, and an excellent judgment for art angement. Morning Chronicle, December 21, 1841. Wehave had occasion to commend the extraordinary diligence and accuracy shown in getting up the " Post-office Directory" for former years, and no less praise is due to the publication of the present volume. It contains the same immense niass of information relative 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 appPars 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 cansi- Aeration of the public ; and, in fact, it must be regarded as indis pensable 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 Directory—C.ty—Parliamentary— Courts—Postago- - 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. It em bracPs ovary 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. Under one general head, it con tains a series of Directories, in which are enumerated all the trades, streets, names, official designations, Parliamentary, 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 accu ra t e i n t h e m i nutest part i cu• lays. No public office or mercantile house should, in fact, be without it. • Morning Post, December 29, 1841. The charge, whether true or false, brought against the " Annuals," 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 :Alessrs Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar, is compr;s^d all the information that can be useful to the fashionable, legal, or commercial communities. "It in cludes 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 " Commer cial Directory," perhaps the fullest and most complete that has ever yet appeare I, .and a variety of miscellaneous matter which it is impossible to particularise here. In short, from our own observation, we can safely pronounce this work a sine qua non to everybody who desires to become acquainted with the great metropolitan world of London. - - Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, Dec. 22, 1841. On our reference from time to time to the Post-office Direc tory of 1841, we felt convinced that nothing could have been produced more perfect for the purposes for which the huge compilation was designed ; it appears, however, we were mis taken. The thick volume before us is vastly superior to the last, and is unquestionably " the most complete work of the i kind ever published ;" the information s so judiciously classi fied, that although it extends over some fifteen hundred large olosely printed pages, every department of the compilation might be consulted in a few seconds. It is surprising how such a mass of intelligence can hay. beed collected and ar ranged so accurately, expeditiously, and cheaply, neither of which could of course be accomplished without the extensive and peculiar resources of the General Post-office. No count ing -house, coffee-room, or public office, should be without this excellent record. _ 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. Th e f o ll ow i ng out li ne o f 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 House, 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. PRICE 5d sons engaged in commerce, and lists of two thousand trades established in the metropolis, with the tradesmen attached to each, ar4 the subdivisions of every trade accurately defined. There are—separate Directories also for the Court ; the Par- Haulm s:1-46th the must recent addresses of the Members of both . Houses ; the Law, with a list of all officers from the Lord Chancellor dozvn to the usher of the most inferior Court : .and the City of London, with the names and add-esses of all City Officers, Companies, &c. The Court Directory includes he names of twenty-five thousand persons not engaged in rade, and takes a wider range than any other work of the kind. The information respecting the Post-office wilt be found eminently useful to persons of every description ; and among Aber additions made to it for this ye tr is one of great impor ance, showing the time at. which a letter from London should be delvered at any place in England or Wales, and the time at which the let ter-box for London closes in each place. The facilities afforded by the Postmaster-General give the compilers advan tages which could not otherwise be obtained. Die informa • tion is furnished from the Post-office gratuitously, it is of the 'atest possible 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 found of great service to persons in every rank of life. Weekly Dispatch, Nov. 28, 1841. We have been favoured with a sight of this elaborate work; and we must pronounce it vastly superior to the previous vo lumes. The contents are admirably arranged. There is a dis tinct alphabetical list of the names, in number, of all civil officers under Government, in the Bank of England, East India House, and all other public establishments ; 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 Seideants, Queen's Counsel, Sergea n ts a t l a w, B en c h ers , Barristers, Speei , ..l Pleaders, Conveyancers, Proctors, Attorneys, Noteries, &c. The - 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 br o kers; Lie u t enancy o f t h e Ci ty, & c . A list is given of all the principal places in England, Ireland, and Scot land, distinguishing those which grant and pay money orders, and 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 opportunity in all cases, in town and country, of applying to the nearest office for a money-order, and of obtaining it upon the office most 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 shoald he delivered at 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 informa tion, we have copious accounts of all conveyances by railways, stage-coaches, waggons, vans, carts, 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, with the rates of Assurair!e, &c.. are also furnished in ample detail. One great feature in this work is, that it directs an individual to the position of a.-iy number in the street, by noting 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 Direc tory in this book helps him out of this difficulty by giving the names of the inhabitants of each house of No. 1 upwards. Sunday 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, and, 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, is 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 Directory at the head of 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 full 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 hare not before passed : here we have a register of all, whether dwelling in Barns bury Park, Basinghall-street, or Belgrave-square, in King's road, Chelsea, or in Kingsland ; and one of the great advan tages peculiar to this publication is, that all inhabitants are inserted in thoir nu ~erieal 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. , tives the names of the birectors cf 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 equally a model of compilation and of typography. We cannot but think that a title more appropriate than merely " Post-office London Directory " might be chosen. The work surely merits a name that would convey a definite idea of in formation so vast and varied, uniting as it does, in one volume, Directory, Court Guide, and Court Kalendar, and superseding the whole class of similar publications. 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, so 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 year, till, by the mere • force of its manliest superiority, it has fairly beaten every competitor out of the field, and become, from the variety, copiousness, and accuracy of its information, an indispensable requisite to every count ing-house and shop in the metropolis and 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 alphabetical order, and with the residence attached, a return of every ac countant, apothecary, artist, lice., &c., within the limits of the bills of mortality. It is the same with every other depart ment of the work. Ve 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 rapidity ; 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 most useful, record of its industry, its vastness, and its intelligence; and, if we keep in mind the enterprise nines. nary for the conception of such a work, the immense care re quired in its preparation, the enormous capital required to pro duce it, and, considering its bulk and variety, the surprisingly Icy.v price at which it is issued, we must pronounce it, notwith standing the typographical wonders daily issued from the press,iid the most surprising volume to which the first city in the w orld has yet given birth. John Bull, November 27, 1841. Again we have t• 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 it 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. Spectator, Dec. - 4, 1841. This extensive work still continues to grow. Besides a revi sion and extension of the other branches, the Official Directory has now been increased so as to form a division of itself. This part, like the other sections of the subject, is subdivided ; one part containing a list of Government and other public offices, under which the names and employments of the persons are arranged ; the other presents an alphabetical list of persons holding offices under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank of England, &c. And such a muster-roll !—an army, nay, a population, of place-holders ! Nonconformist, December 8, 1841. Another edition of this colossal work has just issued from the steam presses of Messrs. Kelly and Co., 19 and 20, Bos well-court, Temple Bar. The greatest credit is due to all parties connected with the compilation of this book, for the assiduity which must have been exercised, as well as the talent displayed in the execution of every branch of it. This has been achieved by dint of great labour. As a whole, we look upon the Post-office Directory as the most complete work of the kind ever published. National Advertiser, Dec. 18, 1841. This work is in 1,527 imperial octavo pages, and the study of the compilers appears to have been to render each page a speci men of systematic arrangement, and of how much information it is possible to convey in a given space. We do not believe that any work of the kind exists so nearly approaching perfection. The resources of the Post-office, and mighty they are proved to be, are here wrought out into every useful variety of combina tion, and to each division of the book has been imparted a labo rious finish, that only those accustomed to literary labour can entirely appreciate. We never before saw a Directory which included an Official Kalendar, a Law Guide, and a Peerage and Parliamentary Chronicle, besides all the Nobility a n d Gntry, Merchants, Professional men, and Shopkeepers of the metro polis and its vicinity. Globe, December 1, 1841. This useful " Annual" comprises among other information, an Official Street, Commercial, Trades, Law, Court, Parlia mentary, City, Postage, Conveyance, and Banking Directories. It is only necessary to announce the publication itself, and to add that arranged as it as been with great 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.

The annual ball of the Society of True Highlanders took :place on Friday at the Freemasons' Tavern. The small room had been originally engaged, but the attend ance was so much more numerous than had been ex pected, that at nine o'clock, the hour at which dancing commenced, it was found absolutely necessary to ad journ to the large dining hall. The ball opened with a Highland reel, and at this period .the appearance of the room was picturesque in the extreme. Each of the dancers appeared in full Highland costume, and when Mr. John M‘Kay, the celebrated piper, who had kindly offered his services, and who appeared in the full costume of his clan, struck up " Tullochgorum," it required no great effort of the imagination to fancy ourselves in some chieftain's hall in the far north. The dancing, which consisted of reels, quadrilles, country dances, and waltzes, was kept up with great spirit, under the able su perintendence of Mr. Corrie, of Willis's Rooms, who officiated as Master of the Ceremonies. At. one o'clock supper was announced, and after supper the dancing was again renewed and kept up with great spirit until an early hour in the morning. Among the company pre sent we observed some officers of the 72d Highlanders, now stationed at Windsor, in the uniform of their regi ment, and many gentlemen in the costumes of the clans Cameron, M'Kenzie, M'Gregor, M'llonald, Maclean, M'Kay, and M‘Pherson. The ball was one of the plea santest we have attended fur a long time, and the ar rangements reflect the highest credit on the Stewards, and all who had the management of it. CHRISTIAN CHARTIST CHURCH. On Tuesday evening, when the proceedings of the meeting, held at the Town-hall in Birmingham, were terminated, several prizes were awarded to different mem bers of the Society for various essays, and which prizes consisted of interesting books, combining wholesome in struction with amusement. The competitors for the prizes were all working men, who were, comparatively speaking, uneducated before the formation of the above Society. The essays were read to the meeting, and many of them displayed consiierable talent, and elicited much applause. The principal successful aspirant for academic honours was George Sumner, for an essay upon the principle of the Chartist Church, from which it appeared that the Society comprises all sects and deno minations, having one object in common—the well-being and good of all, There is no particular form of worship, but each approaches his Creator after his own fashion and heart ; and thus the Unitarian and the Catholic, the Protestant and Dissenter, under the same roof are seen assembled at once to worship his God and benefit his fellow man. The end and aim of this sect is to ob tain universal liberty as contained in the People's Char ter, making the basis of it that Christian principle, which teaches to do good to all. Prizes were also deli vered to Caleb IA e and John Taylor, for essays upon the same subject ; also a prize to William Redford and Ed ward Newton, for an essay upon the Mediterranean Sea. William Crummodge, Thomas Eyre, Thomas Bagley, and James Birken, also received prizes for an essay upon the character of Christopher Columbus. The several productions were listened to with marked at tention, and seemed to give general satisfaction and pleasure, but to none so much as the honest and hard working authors. MARYLEBONE VESTRY. - _ - A meeting of the Vestry was appointed for Saturday, and as it was expected that the subject of the paving of the whole of Oxford-street with wood, would be again brought under discussion, we, anxious to give Our readers an ac:ount of what took place, sent our own Reporter, but upon his requesting admission, he was told .by the officer on duty that the order of the Vestry was, that no Reporter should be admitted unless he produced the card of the Editor of the paper he represented. What are the motives for such a regulation we will not pretend to guess, but the - absurdity of it must be palpable to all who are anxious that their• proceedings should be mad. as public as possible.

It is, then, at this gay time that the virtues and singularly happy properties of Rowland's Kalydor and Rowland s Macassar Oil shine pre-eminent in their powers, and the white and swan-like neck, no less than the rich luxuri ant [tress, '. form happy trophies of their inestimable i powers. As appropriate presents, therefore, to the la ) dies, they claim peculiar attention. FATAL ACCIDENT BY FIRE.--On Saturday morning, about half-past seven, the following lamentable accident happened to a girl named Ann Jameson, about seven years old. It appeared that the deceased had been left with two other children sitting by the side of the fire at their residence in No. 73, Granby-street, Water loo-road, and during the temporary absence of the mother a lighted coal flew from the grate . and set fire to the child's dress. The screams of the sufferer soon brought some of the lodgers to her assistance, when the lire was soon extin guished, but every portion of the, child's dress was de stroyed, and the body so dreadfully burnt, that, not withstanding early medical assistance was procured, the child died at ten o'clock this morning. Not fewer than seven other accidents, under similar circumstances, have occurred to children in the neighbourhood within the last two days, but fortunately only one has been fatal. Lord Brougham, Mr. Justice Williams, the Righ Hon. Henry Goulburn, Chancellor of the E xc h equer . the Hon. C. Law, M.P., and several other distinguished personages, have been on a visit to Cambridge University. BERLIN, DEC. 22.—The King will leave Ber lin on the 16th, and, passin?: through Magdeburg,.

DESTRUCTION OF THE QUEBEC POST.. OFFICE BY FIRE.—The Quebec post-office was burnt down on the 2d ult., but owing to the timely discovery 1 of the conflagration at its commencement, all the books. papers, and letters in Postmaster Sewell's department were saved ; those, however, of the General Post-office department were destroyed, with some valuable private • papers belongit ' r to the Deputy Postmaster-General, REVENUE COMMISSION;—(Frorn a Corre• spondent.)--The Commissioners appointed to inquire into the state of the revenue have commenced their im. ,rtrint labours.
