POST- OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY, for 1849, being th) Fiftieth Annual Publication, Is now pub lishing in 2,000 royal octavo pages, price 36s ; Sina..iar Edition, 15s. It has already received the following highly gratifying notice in the leading Metropolitan Journals:— SUN, NOVEMBER 30, 1818. _ . .. . 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 swce , s, determined to make it in reality what it was in name —a directory and guile to the streets, the professions, and the trades of Lond. n—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 Loudon was added; and thus the " Post-office London Directory," by the greater extent and greater accnr icy of its information, and by the more lucid arrangement of its contents, was enabled to drive *Very rival from the field. • THE TIMES, NOVEMBEIL 30, 184$. !'he volume for the approaching year, 1849, being the 50th volume /ifs publication, has just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of .d Boswell court. This volume contains all the matter which enriched those of the present and preceding years, with all such im provements as increased activity of research and careful iuvestfga- Hon can supply. It appears to be as accurate a compilation for the Offices, trades, occupations, end residences of thousands of persons as the most minute inquiry and the most methodical arrangement can furnish. Perhaps no book more effectually atuwers the purposes for which it is intended than this does. It is necessarily a bulky volume ; but its bulk, co trary to the general rule, is an advantage, and it may be said to contain no superfluous pages whatever. It is' Well printed, and well get 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 public, and it is their duty, as well as their interest, to patronise his Work. MORNING HERALD, NOVEMBER 30, 1848. This stupendous and indispensable hook Inv., with honourable punctuality, again made its appearance, having completed 50 years cults existence—a lapse of time that has imperceptibly added to the experience of those who have been engaged in its production, and given it, by the accumulation of resources, every conceivable feature Of utility. Although comprising such a myriad of isolated facts, il lustrative of the commercial and professional pursuits of the inhabi tants of this vast metropolis, we do not remember any case of error, And the care which has thus been bestowed upon its preparation has established it as an authoritative Directory of the capital of Great Britain, laughing ivalry 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 detal brou.tht 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 an unknown Whereabouts" is met at all points. The " Post-office Directory" is, in short,'a monument of most valuable enterprise, and achieved, as it now is, by private machinery, without the aid that was f:rmerly accorded it by the 'etter carriers, presents a matchless example of Well-directed diligence and perseverance. The arrangements of the present volume are similar to those which have distinguished the work for the last two or three years, the com pleteness 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 changes of address and the opening 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 vigi'antly detected and submitted to Vie governing modes of analysis. MORNING CHRONICLE, DECEMBER 1, 1849, 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 Stature and merits. It is sufficient to state that this is the fiftieth Annual publication under the a , ove title, and it contains a mass of Information which can nowhere else be obtained, relative to the cOramercial, professional, and other interests in this great metropolis, 10 as to render its possession almost absolutely necessary to any one residing in London, and who takes an active part in the business of life. The pre=ent volume exten 's to upwards of 2,000 pages ; but rot- Withstanding its bulky anpearance, it contains such an enormous gittantity of details, as really to render it surprising hew it could be condensed into such a compass, and at the same time be so admirably tugested and arranged, that any reference may be found out with the greatest facility. When this publication was first started, it was lit-le More than an alphabetical list of names and addresses ; but within the last few years the whole plan has been so expanded as to corn- Mae not less than twelve separate parts, under the titles of the OM- VaL•the Street, the Commercial, the trades. the Law, the Court; the P arliamentary. the Postal, the City, the Conveyance, the Rankin. and the Assurance Directories. Under each of these heads every re informalon is given, so that any fact which can p - operly come under any one of these categories can at once be ascertained. The arrangement of the present volume is sim il it to those which have.„ been published for the last three or four year s, but the whole of re contents have been carefully revised, and such alterations have beta made since last year as the ebarme• which have taken place In the residences, appointments, and arrangements under the classes W WII we have mentioned have rendered necessary to secure ac curacy.,, There has also been a co ns i derahle extension in man y of its d epartments. An extremely well-engraved n w map of London, raPared expressly for this work, faces the title-page. ATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSLTMAIVIE SOCIETY. 26, CORNIIILL, LONDON. Capital Z5;10,000.

But how small, how limited In its objects, • Y• r Inefficient in its attainments it then was, compared with what how is ! London itself, with its commerce, its extensions, its toPnlation, 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 enerzv, the enter and the nnwearying exertions of the Messrs. Kelly this great Loeb opolls is indebted for having a directory worthy of the gigantic blterests contained within its circumference. Such a directory no 4 ._ li ther city in the world can boast of possessing . It is really amazing '.ol)en this huge volume and contemplate the mass of inTormation e olktained therein ; and when its accuracy is tested by referring to detail 3 within our own personal cognizance, it is impossible to Vrlthhold the exp-ession of our admiration for the stupendous cum • Nation, and of our belief in its general truthfulness. The classifica- Yon is most complete, and under the heads of " Official." " Street," Commercial,', " Trades," " Law," " Court," " Parliamentary," P ostal. " City," Conveyance," Banking," &c., all the per &fel and other information which the most copious directory can 'r im e is found with the greatest facility. This work is really a 're monument of our country's commercial greatness and persever ing industry. MORNING ADVERTISER, DECEMBER 2, 1848.

GLOBE, DECEMBER 5, 1848. The " London Post-office Directory" has commenced its fiftieth of a most useful existence. The present volume resembles Its etfer predecessors In general form, look, and arrangement, being dl- ZiOed into the heads of Official, Street; Commercial, Trades, Law rt, Parliamentary, Postal, City, Conveyance, Banking, &c. , &e. :fder those heads we have a vast mass of well-digested and corn- ZrY arranged information, so classified and methodised, that one fa ct hun t up a man if we know the smallest frattment of primary about him, and then searching for him under the astral machthat m a y apply, we mly find out what he is, where he is, and "2ch else about him. If he be in the Official Directory, we find Z7w he got his place be a man of business, what that business i'2,arid where he carries it on ; if he be a lawyer, what rank he Olds—wheth er he has any other appointment, &c. ; if he be in Par ent, what place he represents, where he is to be found when in 1,7 0 , and where he lives in :.he country.

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 the variety, utility, and precision of its facts.

It is now in the jubilee year of its existence, and, if-possibly, is more comp'ete 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.

Buiwer Lytton has withdrawn from the contest, and at the request 4,f many most respectable and intelligent members of your body, I offer myself once more to your notice as a candidate for the representation of your borough. For my principles I refer you to my former address. In spite of scurrilous abuse and spiteful depreciation, do not mean to retract or qualify them they are principles which have ennobled the most illus'rious names in modern story, and by them I am content to stand or fall. I repeat that I am wholly unable to contact the peerages and opu lence of the Bishops with the avowed purpose of their institution, and that in my opinion the large revenues of the Church of England are not distributed in the manner most calculated to promote the spiritual welfare of the inhabitants of this country. I repeat that our law in its present state is, from the systematic advantai:e it gives to chicane ever substantial right, a disgrace to a civilised country—that the French, the Belgian, and, generally speaking, the German systems, are free from the dreadful evils so obstinately defended in our own, and that recent alterations have in flamed and aggravated these evils which it was intended by the Le gislature to suppress. _ • I repeat tha; the Established Church in Ireland is a mockery of all religion, an outrage on all justice, and that from the first hour of Its inauspicious existence to the present, it has contributed largely to the degradation of the miserable people on whom it was imposed by foreign conquest, and sett ed by domestic corruption, for it was the ready pretext of traitors who carried on a sordid traffic in the distress and servitude of their native land,—willing, if they might be tyrants over others, to be slaves themselves. I will add that I am an uncompromising advocate of Free Trade, for I am convinced that by giving every country a direct and visible interest in the prosperity of every other, by teaching nations to re joice in each other's prosperity and to regret each other's misfor tunes, it knits mankind together in links of brotherhood, which ty ranny, corruption, and caprice will soon find it impossible to destroy. • I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, JOHN GEORGE FHILLIBIORE.

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 sa ,ply such matter, nor furnish such means for making it tho roughly known and easily found. The production of a newspaper is a daily wender —the " Post-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 coaveniency, business, or pleasure, In this unbounded Babylon of ours, is here; most useful and complete in every branch and department. HER &PATH'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, DECEMBER 9, 1848 _ _ . There is no work of the day, in the nature of a compilation, equal to this, both in regard to the labour bestowed upset it and util ty to the public. It has new become an authentic means of en abling one part of the inhabitants of this great metropolis to know the abodes of their fellows. It has been said, that whatever is formed for long duration arrives slowly to maturity. The Directory has been fifty years in a con dition of growth, and, by its appearance and contents, we should judge, has arrived at maturity ; therefore it is but reasonable to conelode that its existence will be long and flourishing. Of the half century the "Directory" has been published, it has been twelve years in the hands of the Messrs. Kelly; audit is within this period the work has acquired its high position —a position 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, Now Published, DIRECTORIES OF ESSEX, FIERTS, KENT, IitEIDDLESEX, SURREY, and SUSSEX, price 11.

Reacher, remember, this letter was put Int •he paper by the lady herself,, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. .330 - en-street, Borough, takes this oppor unity of publicly thanking Wlr. W. Grimstone, of the tlerbary, High :ale for the etlicacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having corn aletely restored the hai r en her head, after using it abont four months, ind the whole of her hair Is 'touch stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldne es appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to - the virtues of Mr. G.'s tegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase in I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex erience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund nee, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti far - eyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure is answering any ady of respectability to the ab ove fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate NV !rope on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre rent the hair from coming away with the comb, maxe it strong, and revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A 'ew drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the aair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies, may use this delightful product of the mast aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing :dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion ►he toilet. In cases of netting headache, pour ten or twelve drops the crown of the heal ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an 'sour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' hands, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See amphiet of testimonials. . . _ ail lators addressed to William Gemstone, Flerbary.

Where Aldgate Pump suspends its iron bowl, A far-famed poet took his morning stroll ; And as he neared the venerable pump, Which long has braved the weather like a tramp, A stranger's voice in plaintive accents bid The poet stop—and stop the poet did. Then turning round to east, west, north and south, He found the voice was from a watery mouth. " Stay, gentle laureate of the Prince of Trade, And listen while my few remarks are made. I've often wondered why you never sing Of ancient Aldgate's celebrated spring. You need not fear a theme like this to choose, I would not throw cold water on your muse. You've sung of Aldgate Bells and Aldgate Church, But leave the Pump of Aldgate in the lurch. On London's Stone you've also used your quill, And that tall Monument on Fish-street-hill. - You've sketched St. Paul's Cathedral and the Abbey, But as for me, your conduct, Sir, is shabby; For me you do not seem to care a dump"— And here a tear-drop trickled from the pump. "Hush," quoth the bard, "my conduct I regret, And I at once will liquidate the debt. Yes, I am grieved to see you in the dumps. And thus would I commence-01 Pump of Pumps I 'Tis thine to rise in Aldgate's noted part, Where busy thousands flock to MOSES' Mart. You have the honour of beholding there MOSES and SON'S astonishing affair. You know the stir created twelve years back, When MOSES' system made its bold attack. You know the increasing crowds who still admire, The Mart of MOSES for its prime ATTIRE. You know that what I say is strictly true, Of Dress-coats. Over-coats, and Frock-coats too. Y at know, as sure as you've an iron handle, That competithm here can't hold a candle. MOSES' FAMED HAT MART, Which arises yonder, Can ne'er be matched, you know, where'er you wander. MOSES, you know, have decorated gaily, The • altitudes of heads which pass you daily. And you have witnessed, with your crowning lamp, THE BOOPS AND SHO In which so many•tramp. And well you know they'd keep the water out, If even placed beneath your drenching spout. You've also seen THE HOSIERY OF MOSES, Where neither price nor quality imposes. • You know the multitudes who daily reap Advantage from a stock so good and cheap. THE FUR ESTABLISHMENT, You also know, Where all the judging ladies wisely go. Yes, you have seen, while, spouting forth your waters, What MOSES' do for Britannia's charming daughters. On all the vast establishments of trade Your daily observations you have made; And were I now to ask you your opinion, If MOSES' Marts are matched in the dominion.

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 `requently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of isease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the eredical man who can show by hi, posseAsion of the requisite legal malifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes tional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

EADVERTISEMENTI—The most effectual Cure for Gout and Rheumatism is Holloway's Ointment and Pills. —A frequent cause of these complaints is the in flammatory state of the blood, as they are generally attended with bad digestion, lassitude, and great debility, showing the want of a proper circulation of the fluids, and that impurity of the blood greatly aggravates these pain ful disorders. Holloway's Pills are of so purifying a nature that a few doses tuken in time is an effectual pre ventative against the Gout and Rheumatism; but any one that has an attack of either should use Holloway's Ointment also, the powerful properties of which, combined with the effect of the Pills, ensures a certain cure.—Sold by all druggists and at Professor Holloway's estab lishment, 244, Strand, London. . , SOCIETY or ARTS.—At the meeting of this so ciety last evening, Mr. Robert Stephenson, M.P., Vice- President, in the chair, an interesting paper on the origin and progress of steam navigation was read by Professor B.

The sixth ordinary meeting of the Lendon, Brighton. and South Coast Railway Company was held yesterday in the Bridge-house Hotel, Southwark ; Mr. Laing, chairman of the company presided. There was a nu merous attendance of shareholders. The SECRETARY read the report of the directors for the half-year ending Dec. 31, 1848, from which it ap peared that the actual amount of capital raised up to that date was 6,950,0401., which amount, with the exception of 110,4921, expended on the Thames Junction, Hail sham, and Eastbourne branches, will receive dividend out or revenue. The werks is progress being so near completion as to be ready for opening in the course of next spring, the directors repeat with increased confi dence the assurance given at a former meeting, that the capital account may be closed at a figure not exceeding 7,200,000/, unless an alteration in circumstances such as a large increase of traffic should render profitable an additional outlay for objects not at present con templated. The report also announced that notice had been served by the South Eastern Railway Corn pany requiting the partition of the existing London Bridge station to be made on July 31, 1850, in pursuance of the Act of Parliament, and the directors express their opinion that an outlay for this purpose of 150,000 L, in cluded in the estimate of 7,200.000 e, and distributed over the next two or three years, will not be exceeded. From the revenue account embodied in the report, it appeared that the gross earnings of the half-year amount to 258,603/, showing an increase over the corresponding half ;year in 1847 of 21,1811., which was stated to be principally due to the development of traffic on the main and coast lines. The total expenses of the half-year amounted to 96,8611., exhibiting a reduction of more than 17,000/. as compared with the half-year ending in December, 1847. This saving was effected principally under the head of locomotive power, and in the reduced consumption of coke and its diminished cost. The re port next stated that a considerable saving would for the future be effected under the head of office charges and law charges, by arrangements which had been car ried out in both departments. Taking the results of the whole year, the total receipts were 453,4081., and the total expenditure 187,0561., being 41e per cent, of the receipts. After recommending a dividend of 2/. 6s. per cent, on the ordinary capital out - of the sur plus available for that purpose, the report next refers to the taxation expenses of the com pany, amounting to 21,1801. and the directors ex press their hope that the exertions now making by the united railway interest to obtain relief from the excessive and unjust burden of local rates, will not be without effect. As regards the proprietors of the Brighton Company, the result of this system of taxation is shortly this—that having expended a capital of 7,000,0001. in a commercial enterprise, by which (al though very inadequately remunerative to themselves) the value of other rateable property in the districts tra versed by the railway has been greatly enhanced, and without throning any additional burden on the rates, but, on the contrary, giving employment, at high weekly wages, to more than 1,000 persons within those districts, they are mulcted in a sum of upwards of 22,000/. a year (equivalent to 12 per cent. on the net sum applicable tor dividend, and to a consequent depreciation of 500,0001. in the market value of their capital), for the benefit of the local ratepayers, who to that extent obtain an advantage ove r other ratepayers not fortunate enough to be able to shift their burdens upon a railway com pany. This state of things is obviously unjust; and the directors hope, therefore, that the amount deducted from the earnings of the railway for taxation will be in future materially diminished. The attention of the proprietors was next drawn to the sub ject of the establishment of a " rest," or reserved land, to meet the increase of expenditure which must take place in renewals of the permanent way and rolling stock, when the principle of closing the ca pital account is carried out ; and the directors, in con clusion, expressed their confidence that the more closely examination was directed to the position and pros pects of the property entrusted to their charge, the more clearly would it appear to stand on a sound basis, and be of an improving nature. file chairman, in proposing the adoption of the report, said that it altogether superseded the neces sity of his making any remarks regarding the position iu which the company then stood, the state of their affairs being fully disclosed by it. However flattering might be the anticipations which it was possible to draw from the present condition of the company as compared with that of the past year, he felt that the proper course for him to pursue was to abstain from them altogether, because if they should happen to be falsified by events, public confidence would be shaken in himself and those with whom he was associated, and the conclusion might be drawn that all other statements put forward from the same quarter were equally fallacious. He then entered upon a minute and lengthened explanation of the various items of expenditure embraced by the accounts stating the objects which the di rectors had in view, and the reasons by which they were influenced in incurring them. With respect to the item of 21,000/. expended on the Croydon At mospheric Line and Epsom Branch, he stated that no more than 8001. was laid out on the Croydon line during that half year, the remainder of the whole amount being applied to the settlement of the accounts of the con tractors for the Epsom branch. In reference to the question of the propriety of providing a reserve fund to meet the depreciation to which the permanent way and rolling stock was subjected, he thought that the directors had acted wisely in throwing out some observations cal culated to call the attention of the meeting to a subject of so much importance, but which was at the same time involved in much doubt and difficulty. The enormous items under the head of taxation could not fail to com mand the attention of every proprietor. He had him self a strong feeling as to the impropriety of the heavy taxation placed upon that most important of all inven tions—a railway, and ho trusted that all persons inte rested would exert themselves to obtain relief from a burden which pressed so heavily. In concluding his remarks on the report, which were received with evident satisfaction by the meeting, he stated that he was ready to answer any questions which might be put to him, with the view of obtaining any further elucidation of the affairs of the company. Captain KELLY said that he did not observe in the balance-sheet any account of the surplus land belong ing to the company, and said to be worth between 40,000/. and 50,0001. The CHAIRMAN said that arrangements were making by which it would be brought into the market in the ensuing spring and summer; but it was not at present introduced into the accounts because nut immediately available. Several other questions proposed by the same gentle man having been sataactorily replied to by the chair man, a brief discussio❑ took place respecting the advi sability of establishing a depreciation fund. Much di versity of opinion existed on the subject, but the conver sation was brought to a close by the announcement that the question vv,is not regularly before the meeting, the report not having been adopted. The report having been adopted, a resolution was passed declaring a dividend of 21. 6s. per cent., payable on the sth of February. Resolutions were also adopted for converting into stock such of the eighth shares (1)) in aspect of which the whole of the calls having been paid, and also into a six per cent. stock of such of the 61X per cent. shares (G) on which Al calls are paid up. Mr. WILKINSON drew the attention of the meeting to the affairs of the Brighton and Continental Steam-packet Company, who were set down in the balance. sheet as debtors to the Brighton Railway Company to the amount of 15,1881. He contended that the steam-packet com pany had large and just claims upon them, and he pro• posed a resolution to the effect that these claims should be referred to the consideration of persons competent to decide upon them. A long' conversation ensued on this topic, which was brought to a close by the adoption of an amendment to the effect that the steam packet company should not be pressed for their debt till meeting, when the subject could be again brought forward, and in the meantime a statement, informing the proprietors of the exact posi tion of affsirs between the two companies should be cir culated. Messrs. S. Laing, C. S. Crowley, and J. Wishaw, the three directors who go out of office by rotation, having been re• elected, the customary vote of thanks to the Chairman was passed, and the meeting dissolved. MALTON AND DRIFFIELD JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday at Mallon; the Earl of Carlisle in the chair. The report stated that the York and Newcastle Company had further postpcned the construction of the Thirsk and Mahon branch, upon the completion of which the success of the Malton and Driffield line must depend. Mr. Hudson had assured the directors that it was in tended ultimately to construct that branch. In conse quence of the postponement alluded to, the director s i suspended th e wor k s o f th e tunne l on t h e ma i n line u nt il the end of next M arc h, by w hi c h ti me th e y hope that t present improving appearance of commercial matt ers s oon as would be confirmed.

Hitherto there has been so much jealousy shown on the part of Austria, France, and even Russia, to British influence in Egypt, and the extension of her commerce with her colonies, that the cutting of a navigable ship canal, from Suez to Alex andria, so as to join the Red Sea (Arabian Gulf) with the Mediterranean was abandoned, through the intrigues of the agents of those powers, and confined it to the usual overland route. Now that a great political move ment has taken place throughout-the Continent, — the new Pacha has evinced the warmest desire to extend as much as possible his relations with this country, and render ail the facilities he can to oar later. course with India. Several surveys and estimates have been made by various engineers as to the outlay of a railway, but nothing decide d upon.

Railways hav made such rapid progress all over the Continent, whine the last few years, that Turkey and Egypt, two great productive and commercial countries, nearly stand alone without them. Not only will a railway through Egypt. joining Alexandria and Suez, greatly increase her internal trade, as it will inevitably lead to others being esta blished in Turkey, with trunks and branches to :the different parts of both the Ottoman Empire and Bgypt, but develop our own commerce with India and the-pro mising colonies of Australia and New Zealand, and in crease our commercial steam navy in the Mediterranean and the Indian seas.- - NA VAL INTELLIGENCE . POATSMOUTII, TIIIIRSDAY.—The Sprightly steam vessel, Lieutenant Commander Barnard, arrived this; morning from Cork, and is ordered to be paid off. ' The President, 50, Captain Stanley, does not appear likely to start to night, as the wind is blowing very hard, and the night long and dark. The run to the Downs is but a short one for a fast sailing frigate, so that she will most probably weigh at daylight. She got her foreyard into its place and bent the foresail this forenoon. The Arrogant, 46, auxiliary screw steam-frigate, re ceived her proper lower masts alongside the jetty to day. All the supernumeraries for the eastern ports were put on board the President this afternoon. It was first ordered that they should proceed in the Sprightly steamer, Lieutenant 11. Barnard, but as the President will have to pass through the harbour of Sheerness to go to Chatham, it was thought best to send them in her, and the order was accordingly countermanded. Mr. Martin, Mate of the Fury steam-sloop, on the China station, has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, and appointed to the Medea steam-sloop, vice Quin, deceased, by the Commander-in. Chief on the station, Rear-Admiral Sir F. A. Collier, Kt., K.C.H. and C.B. Wind W. by S., fresh gales, and hazy weather. We learn that a general meeting of the members of the new Military and County Service Club was held on Wednesday last, iu St. James's-street, Lieutenant- General Sir Charles Napier in the chair, supported by the Earl of Cardigan (11th Hussars), Lieut.-General Sir Augustus Da Butts, K.C.H., General Sutherland, Major Sir Wyndham Anstruther, Bart., Lieut.-Colonel Brand ling, Sir Matthew Wyatt, and other officers. The re port of the managing committee was read, by which it appears above 400 members have already enrolled, em bracing the Lames of officers in the cavalry and infantry in the Queen's and Company's army. The selection of a site for the new club-house was carried unanimously in favour of Crockford's Club-house, in St. James's-street, which has accordingly been taken on a long lease. The house will be at once decorated and furnished in the most complete manner, and be ready for the occupation of the members early in March. It was proposed by the Earl of Cardigan, sad seconded by Li eutenant . General Sir Charles Napier, that the officers of the Royal Navy and the Hon. Company's Navy be also admissible as members. This was carried unanimously. Our mercantile advices from Vienna to the 18th inst. mentions an announcement upon authority that the contract for the new loan of 8,000,0001. sterling will be deferred till March. Ia consequence of this resolution the funds had experienced an advance of be tween one and two per cent., and the Five per Cents. were quoted 85 . i. In Bank Shares also there had been a very considerable rise. The foreign exchanges, how ever, were still unfavourable, the rate on London being as high as 11.23, although the Bank was understood to have discontinued purchasing. The feeling of general confidence with respect to trade was steadily increasing, but the condition of the various manufacturing interests is yet complained of, the recent improvement being great only when compared with the terrible state of things during the past year. It is estimated that in the cotton manufactories (except as regards yarn, in which branch there is fall activity) the present employment is not more than two-thirds of its ordinary amount; that in those for wool and linen it is not more than one-half, and in those for silk scarcely more than a third.
