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, hok4ver, for the.piiblic, it became, in 1836, the property of its -pre ient proprietor, who, with. that energy and enterprise .which, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, commands success, determined to make it in reality whatit was in name—a direptory and gu;de to streets, the professtons, and the trades of Lond .11—to make it a mirror of the metropoalig the commercia. Weed. To accomplish this; either pains norWinse were sparedl the work was extended to nearly dolible 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 mao of London was added; and thus the " Post-office London Directory," by the grbateeextent and greater accuracy of its information, and by the mere lucid arrangement of its contents, was enabled to drive 0 every rival from the field. - THE TIMES, NOVEMBER 30, 1848 The volume for the approaching; year, 1849, being the 50th volume flits publication, has just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of 0:d Boswell•court. This volume contains all the matter which enriched those of the present and preceding years, with all such hn p-ovements as increased activity of research and careful itivestiga- Om can supply. It appears to Ise 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 bulk, co trary to the general rale, 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 proflxed to it, which will be found useful. The proprietor hrs had for many years an arduous task in carrying out his object, but his labours have `erminated 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, Novxmaxa 30, 1848. This stupendous and indispensable book has, with honourable panctuality, again made its appearance, having complete 1 50 year. of its existence—a lapse of time that has imperceptibly added to the experience of those who have been engaged in its production, and given it, by the accumulation of resources, every conceivable feature of utility. Although comprising such a myriad of isolated facts, il lustrative of the commercial and pralessionsd pursuits of the inhabi tanti of this'vast metropolis, we do not re nember 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. Ho* 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 (zan„ the army of labourers employed to collect it could hive been so adroit ;y digested, and placed In a shape so immediately adapted for xt4rence. Is moye , -urprising still. There, however, is a book oflip ar Is of two thousand royal octavo pages, taking the whole of Londen•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 nioninneht 'oe most valuable enterprise, .and achieved, as It now is, 1/3 , private machinery, withant 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 flarther 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 importan^e and becoming tresa hives of :human exist ence and human industry, are vigi airily detected and submitted to the governing modes of analysis. MORNING CHRONICLE, DECEMBER 1, 1844, 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 nature 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 commercial, professional, and other interest , In this great metr .polls, so as to render it. possession almost absolutely necessary to any one residing in London, and who takes an active part in the business of life. The present volume eaten a to upwards of 2,000 pages ; hut 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,lhat any reference may he 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 PO expanded as to com prise not less than twelve separate p nig, under the titles of the Offi cial, the Street, the Commercial, the trades. the Law, the Court, the P arliamentary, the Postal, the Citv, the Conveyance, the Bankin.r, and the Assurance Directories. Under each of these heads every re quisite informs - ion is given, so that any tact which can p - operly Some under any one of these categories can at once be ascertained. The arrangement of the present volume is simil ir to those which alre been published for the last three or four years, but the whole of ut he contents have been carefully revised, and such alterations have „_ u een made since last year as the changes which have taken place in residences, appointments, and arrangements under the classes Which we have mentioned have renlered necessary to secure ac curacy. There has also been a considerable extension in many of its me llartments. An extremely well-engraved n w map of London, / 4 ePariti expressly for thii work, faces the title-page. • - MORNING FOST, NOVEMBER 30, 1848. It is jest half a century since the " Post-office London Directory" first made its app earance. Buthow small, how limited inits objects, it inefficient in its att a i nmen t s it then was, comp are d w ith wha t zt how is ! London itself, with its commerce, its extensions, its )° Inflation, its improvements of all sorts, does not so tar outstrip t he tendon of 1800 as th e " P os t- of fi ce Di rec t ory " o f 1849 d oes that of the first year of its publication. To the energy, the enter- Prise, and the nnwearying exertions of the Messrs. Kelly this great metropolis is indebted for having a directory worthy of the gigantic 'qterests contained within its circumference. Such a directory no other city in the world can boast of possessing. It is really amazing to open this huge volume and centemplate the mass of information details therein ; and when its accuracy is tested by referring to "etails within oar own personal cognizance, it is impossible to withhold the expression of our admiration for the stupendous corn • Dilation, and of our belief in its general truthfulness. The classifies ti. nt , is most complete, and under the heads of " Official." " Street," " C ommercial,', " Trades," " Law," " Court," " Parliamentary," Postal." " City," " Conveyance," " Banking," &c., all the per ,zonal and other inform a ti on w hi c h th e mos t co pi ous di re ct or y can i mpart is found with the greatest facility. This work is really a e monument of our country's commercial greatness and persever `ng industry. MORNING ADVERTISER, DECEMBER 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, i?,,r jubilee year; and, as if duly to celebrate that signal.e ven t, 4 lessrs. Kelly (for the proprietor) appear to have made, if possible, 'lot only extra but extraardinary exertions to diwinguish it, by pre knting indisputably the amplest, the most cle irly arranged, and the tlost conspicuous and utilitarian c9mpilation of the kind tha is - 'own to the world. Its multifarious merits are such that it is an !!!'eutial, not only to the commerci a l commun ity o f L on d on, an d all the millions' who are in communication or connexion with this Feat mercantile centre of that world, but must be in continuous Wherewherever parties have communications with England —a n d 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 lader's attention.

It is a - ,, - ,, 4l 'vellous publication, as any one must admit who is crimpetent . to .Zge of the vastness and peculiarities of this metropolis. In its t o ft'lteness, it is an astonishing reality. What is it? It is a three / 43 'Y and guide to the streets, the professions, the trades, &c., of n dell ; it is a just reflection of the capital and community Of the Ottinercial world- To achieve this great object, no lal•ours sei-m t o 4v b e daunted or tired, and no watchfulness or expenditure appears tio. and per impr fe:ie ded t those who wee eaged in preparing this volumi " " London Dirrctongry."

Grimstone, of the Elerhary, High ate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having coni aletoly restored the hair on her head, after using itabont four months, Ind the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than Tever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to - the virtues of Mr. G.'s .tegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase m l I s. 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 ace, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet pertUmeiti far eyond any to her taste.

In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w i:ops en the crown et the head occasionally, every week, will pre cut the hair from coming away with the comb, mime it strong, and revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A w drops en your hairbrush before brushi ng th e hair, will give the i lair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the nest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion ss the toilet.

SPECTATOR, DECEMBER 2, 1848. This gigantic volume of business and residential information has now completed its half century, or year or jubilee; and is, we sup pose, unrivalled in tLe variety, utility, and preet3ion of its facts. Upwards of two thousand pages in double and t; ehle columns are here presented, touching the names, ca'lings, and abodes of 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, 1843. We look upon this book as a national Messina. Who has not fonni 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 possible, is more comp ete in its details than any of its pre-' decessors. Its amplitude and correctness are marvellous; and that they are duly appreciate] 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 comp-ise this volume, which, we believe, we may safely affirm, could only relate to Eng land and be made in E ng la n d ; f o r a ll the w or ld 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 wander —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 eulogium. 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 partkulars, but merely say. that all official, social, cent mercial, legal, parliamentary, courtly, and other information which rosy be required' for coaveniency, business, or pleasure, in this unbounded liabylrm of ours, is here; most useful and complete in every branch and department. HERAPATH'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 la.bour ibostowed nowt -it and util ty"to the public. ,•It has pow.bscorne an authentid means of en abling one part of the inhibitants of this great metropolis to know the abodes of their fellows. It has bead, 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 conel , de that its existence will be loan and flourishing. Of the half century the " Directory" has been published, it has been twelve years in the hands of the Messrs. Kelly; and It Is within •this pert:•d the work has acquired its high position —a post tion so distintruished, 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.

INVALID LIVES, In addition to the ordinary AsWursitC;Ot Healthy Lives, this So ciety, early in the year 824, originated the plan of granting Policies on the Lives of Persons more or less deviating from the standard of health. Having issued one-fourth of the whole number of Policies on Lives of that description, the Board have recently caused a careful investigation into this branch of the business to be made. The rt suit of this investigation has proved highly Batt •factory as to tho past, and encouraging for the future. The data derived from long experience n this class of cases, and exclusively available by this -, ociety, en able the Directors to state with confidence their conviction that the system now adopted by them for Assuring Invalid Lives is as s•ife and beneficial as that upon which the scale for Healthy Lives is con structed. 10)11TJRSITANT to a DECRETAL ORDER of the 111 , 4 H COURT of CHANCERY, made in certain causes of " Turnery.

" Longparish House, near Whitchurch, Hants., October 21, 1846. " Sir,--I cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary effect that I have experienced by taking only a few of your lozenges. I had a cough for several weeks that defied all _that had been pie scribed for me, and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half a small box of your lozenges, which I find are the only ones that re `leve the cough without deranging the stomach or digestive organs. " I am, Sir, your humble servant, " P. HAWKER. To Mr. Keating, 79, St. Paul's Churchyard." THE POET and the Pli 11P, A TALE OF THE EAST. Where Aldgate Pump suspends its iron howl, A far-famed poet took his morning stroll ; And as he neared the venerable pump, Which long has braved the weather like a trump, 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 [ 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 1 'Tie thine to rise in ‘idgate's noted part, Where busy thousands flock to MOSES' Mart.

Ydu know, as sure as you've an ire, handle, That competition 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 • • ultitudes of heads which pass you daily. And you have witnessed, with your crowning lamp, THE BOOTS AND SHOIi:S 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 so Where all the judgi ng ladies wisely go al . know, Yes, you hav e seen, while spouting forth your waters, What MOSES' do for Britannia's charming daughters.

GENTLEMEN, Sir E. Buiwer Lytton has withdrawn from the contest, and at the request if 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, I 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 eon led the peerages and opu lence of the Bishops wits, 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 out law in its present state is, from the systematic advanta:e it gives to eh'cane ever substantial right, a disgrace to a civilised country—that. the French, the Belgian, and, generally speaking, the German systems, are free front the dreadful evils so obstinately defendM, in our own, and that recent alterations have in flamed and aggravated tliese 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 frum 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 b 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 anti servitude of their native land,—willing, if they might be tyrants oVer others, to be slaves theinseives. I will add, that I ant 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 mister. tunes, it knits mankind together in links of brotherhood, which ty ranny, corruption, and caprice will soon find it impossible to destroy.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Memb er of the London Hospital Medical Society, tce. Marriage requires the fllifilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the ca use o f mu tual happines s , Could the veil, which covers the o r i g i n o f d omes ti c wretched ness, be raised, and Its true source in every inst ance disclosed, in how malty could It be traced to physical di squa lifi cat i ons a nd their a tt endant disap pointments. Excesses are always inhuions ; the gift, whi c h when ased in moderation is fraught with advantage, beco me . , whoa abused, prolific source of mischief and of greater or l ess Injury to the Constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and conseauence 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 o f their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can he of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every than should be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired la early life or from the follies of advanced age, while soffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fe ar of ap plyingO to a qualified ph ys i c i an for re li e f. Sh ame an d the dread so requently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his s ee ki n ., 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurat e di scr i m i nat i on i n ascertaini ng the causes of lisease, sympathy with th e su ff erer , a nd, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the i n t e lli gen t a nd practical physi c i an, and to the aedical man who ca n s h ow by hit, possession of the requisite legal malifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his prefes nonal pursuits, the ut mos t con fidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obt a i ne d t h e h i g h es t me di ca l h o n ours , as his diplomas 'ertity, and the great ex t en t o f hi s practice far many years is a ruarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

J AMES' CELEBRATED ASTILIAN TINC TURE FOR THE TIC DOLOREUX, will prove an invaluable medicine to those suffering from this most excruciating and hitherto-considered incurable complaint. A know ledge of its surprising efficacy has induced the proprietors to bring it more extensively before the Public than has hitherto been done, and thus confer a blessing upon thousands now labouring under that distressiog malady; the first appLcation not only easing the patient of all pain, but effecting in almost every case, a lasting cure. As a remedy for Toothache, the proprietors can confidently recom mend it as one that cannot be surpassed. This medicine is also a certain specific for Spasms, however violent, especially in the stomach or bowels, and from its perfect freedom from anything of a deleterious character, may be administered under any circumstances with entire safety.

HolloWay's Pills are of so purifying a nature that a few doses taken 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.

The sixth ordinary meeting of the Ltaidon, Brighton. and South Coast Railway Company was held yesterday in the Bridge-house Hotel, Southwark ; Mr. Laing, chairman of the co m p an y p res id e d . There was a nu: tnerous attendance rf shareholders. The SeceeTafte read the report of the directors for the half.) ear ending Dec. 31, 1848, from which it ap peared that the actual amount of capital raised up to that date wag 6,950,0401., which amount, v.ith the exceprion of 110,4921 expended on the Thames Junction. Hail sham, and Eastbourne branches, will receive dividend out o' rev, nue. The sr , •rlis in progress being so near completion as to br ready fur opening in the course of next spring, the directors repeat with increased confi denco the assurar,c, 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 hail 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 150.0001., in cluded in the estimate of 7,200 0004, 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 I , e principally due to the development of traffic on the main and coast lilies. The total expenses of the half-year amounted to 96,8611., exhibiting a reduction of more than 17,0001. 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 414 per cent. of the receipts. Ater 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 expanses of the com pany, amounting to 21,180/. 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 remun, rative to themselves) the value of other rateable property in the districts tra versed by the railway has been ,greatly enhanced, and without throwing 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 22,0001. a year (equivalent to 121 per cent. on the net sum applicable for 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 over other ratepayers not fortunate enough to be able to shift their burdens upon a railway coin• 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 und, 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. The chairman, in proposing the adoption of the report, said that it altogether superseded the neces sity of his making any remarks regarding the position in 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 ba falsified by events, public confidence would be shaken in himself and those with is hom he was associated, and the conclusion might be drawn that all other statements put forward !rem the same quarter were t quelly fallacicu He thus entered upon a minute and ngthened explanation of the various items of expenditure embraced by , the accounts stating, the of jects 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 oa!,,pheric Line and Epsom Branch, he stated that no more then 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 iu 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. Thu 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 us to the impropriety of the heavy taxation placed upon that most important of all inven tions—a railway, and he 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/. arid 50,000/. 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 not immediately available. Several other questions proposed by the same gentle man having been satisfactorily replied to by the chair man, a brief discussion 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 was not regularly before the meeting, the report not having been adopted. The report having been adopted, a resolution was passed declaring a dividend of 2/. 6 s . p er cent., paya b le on the sth of February. Resolutions were also adopted for converting into stock such of the eighth shares (D) iu respect of which the whole of the calls having been paid, and also into a six per cent. stock of such cf the six per cent. shares (G) on which all calls are paid up. Mr. Wsexisisosi 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 15,188/. 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 affairs between the two companies should be cir culated. Messrs. S. Laing, C. S. Crowley, and J. Wisbaw, 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. MALTr _'ON AND DRIFFIELD JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday at Malton; 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 Mahon and Driffield line must depend. Mr. Hudson had assured the direci3mtoomsr_scy,datihradatets payment, n t l w en as gt i h n" tended ultimately to construct that branch. In conse quence of the postponement alluded to, the director s i suspended the works of the tunnel on the main line an ti c the end of next March, by which time they hope that t ters present improving appearance of commercial would be confirmed. It was intended he as tu : n e: i n e possible to open the line from Driffield tot local traffic, under an arrangement already The arrears the York and North Midland Companyi. 0 b pressure in of calls due amount t•i 16,000/.

RAILWAY ACROSS TIM, ISTBMU s OF SITEZ.—So great is the traffic Lwcorning between this country and her Indian empire, China, and Australia, by the facility afforded by the late Viceroy Ibrahim Pacha, and his father, across the Isthmus, from Alsxsadria to Sues, We learn that a general meeting of the members of the new Military and County Service Club was held on Wednesday last, in St. James's street, Lieutenant- General Sir Charles Napier in the chair, supported by the Earl of Cardigan (11th Hussars), Lieut.-General Sir Augustus De 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 hi acing the names 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'a 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, If ud seconded by Lieutenant- General Sir Charles Napier, that the officers of the Royal Navy and the Hon. Company's Navy be also •admissible Ili members. This was carried unanimously. Our mercantile advices from Vienna to the ISth inst. mentions an announcement upon authority that the contract for the new loan of 8,000,000/. sterling . will be deferred till March. In 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 851-. 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 hive 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.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—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• ceiv(d her proper lower masts alongside. the jetty to day. All the supernumeraries for the eastern ports wars put on board the President this afternoon. It wa s fi rs t ordered that they should proceed in the Sprightly steamer, Lieutenant 11. Barnard, but as the President will have to pass through the harbour of Sheernest 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 th• 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.11. and C.B. Wind W. by S., fresh gales, and hazy weather. t- Id Lll as Y, -
