" Mr. Plaxton, of Cottingham, five miles from Hull, has long been affiitttd with a most severe internal disease. So dreadful were the paroxysms that he frequently expected death was at baud to release h►m from his sufferings. For a great length of time he had been unable to sit down at all, even be ing compelled to stand at his meals. Ills next door neighbour having heard of the virtues and unprecedented success of Parr's Life Pills, purchased a small box for him, and on his calling for a second box, he told me that such had been theastonish ing effects prt , dueed by one box that he was able to sit down, and on taking two otlier boxes his pains have left him ; his ap petite is good, and he is able to follow his vocation near:y as well as he ever did in his life." " Mrs. Shaw, wife of Mr. Shaw, yeast dealer, had been a great length of time afflicted with a severe internal disease. To use his own expression, ' paying doctors for her had beg gared him,' so that at last he was compelled to send her to the Infirmary ; there she received no permanent benefit. Having heard of Parr's Life Pills, he purchased a small box; she be gan to mend immediately on taking them, and two more boxes have cured her. She is now as well as she ever was in herilife." " Mrs. Stevenson, of Cottingham, five miles from Hull, has been severely afflicted with a bad leg for mote than ten years, and during that/ period has tried all kinds of medicines, but without any permanent relief. After taking four small boxes of Parr's Life Pills, she is able to go about her day's business in a manner which for comfort has been unknown to her for above ten years. (Signed) " EDMUND STEPHENSON, her Son. " Witness—Joseph Noble." " I have to acknowledge with delight the benefit I have re ceived from Parr's Life Pills, I have been afflicted for fourteen or fifteen years with pains in my body and limbs, with constant pain in my head. I applied to the first medical men in Hull, and to the various Institutions of the Town, and brought my self almost to poverty, but all to no purpose.

The Proprietors of this Newspaper, in order to give more com• lete effect to arrangements recently made for improv ing its nrn-gement, extending its correspondence, and obtain ing the estili, st and most accurate intelligence on all subjects of interest, ha : resolved to publish a DOUBLE SHEET of the MORNING ADVERTISER, whenever the Debates in Parliament or other intelligence of importance cannot be ef fectively condensed within its ordinary limits ; and therefore consider it desirable to place before the Public the following brief outline of the claims of their Journal on the general support and confidence. The. MORNING ADVERTISER having been established by the SOCIETY of LICENSED VICTUALLERS—a body of men with a large stake in the country, living by trade, and inti mately associated with the middle an 3 industrial classes, has its interests indissolubly united with those of the Merchant, the Manufacturer, the Trader, the Operative, the Man of Science, and all who contribute by mental, moral, or physical effort, to increase the stock of common good; while the number of its Proprietors, amounting to upwards of THREE THOU SAND, affords a sure guarantee against its being diverted— as so many other Journals have been—from the honest tenor of political advocacy, to advance the sinister designs of indivi duals. The great aim of the ADVERTISER. being, as already intimated, to increase the general welfare, to improve the con dition of the masses, and to bring the appilaptly-conflicting interests of society into harmonious action, UT desire is to en list every legitimate agency in the peaceful accomplishment of these objects. The 'MORNING ADVERTISER, from a portion of its kofits, and through its agency, distributes nearly NINE 1 HOUSAND POUNDS annually for charitable purposes, including the relief by regular weekly allow ances o f near l y THREE HUNDRED distressed members of the aforesaid So ciety, the temporary relief, by occasional donations of many hundreds of other unfortunate individuals, and the entire maintenance, clothing, and education of ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY orphan and other destitute children of both sexes in the LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL, which Institution, since its establishment, has received nearly ONE THOUSAND boys and girls who might otherwise have fallen victims to want, ignorance, and crime. These are claims on public support and sympathy identified with no other.newspaper. To LICENSED VICTUALLERS in all parts of the kingdom tho MORNING ADVERTISER presents peculiar c4,van tages, publishing the earliest intelligence on all subjects in • teresting to the trade, and affording a medium of communica tion amongst its members, whereby may be best effected that co-operation between those in Town and Country so essential to the promotion and protection of their common interests. ADVERTISEMENTS receive far more than ordinary publicity by appearing in the MORNING ADVERTISER ; for a great portion of its circulation being, in the first instance, in houses of public entertainment, it is subsequently distributed through the families using those houses, so that on an ave rage each copy is perused by no less than forty persons; thus giving to a circulation of 5,000 copies, TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND READERS. In addition to the ordinary News of the Daily Press, and SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE con tained in no.other Morning Journal, the ADVERTISER gives careful and early Reviews of new Works of Science, Litera ture, and Art. An Early Edition is published every Morning in time to be transmitted to the Country by the first RAILWAY Tics INS, so that the MORNING ADVERTISER may be placed on the breakfast tab!e of its subscribers 100 miles distant from Town at an hour as early as they would require it if residing in the Metropolis. N.B. The first DOUBLE SHEET of the Morning Adver ti,er will he published To-morrow (Friday), the 4th inst. sons engaged in commerce, analists of two thousand trades established in the metropolis, with the tradesmen attached to ach, and the subdivisions of every trade accurately defined. There are separate Directories also for the Court ; the Par liament, with the must recent addresses of the Members of both Houses ; the Law, with a list of all officers from the Lord Chancellor down 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 the names of twenty-five thousand persons not engaged in trade, and takes a wider range than any other work of the kind. The information respecting the Post-office will be found eminently useful to persons of every description ; and among other additions made to it for this year is one of great impor tance, showing the time at which a letter from London should be delivered at any place in England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-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. The inforrna • tion is furnished from the Post-office gratuitously, it is of the latest 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 esch 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 ulterior Court; Police Courts, with their officers anti jurisdictions ; alphabetical lists of Queen's Serjeants, Queen's Counsel,:ergeants at law, Benchers, 13arristers • Special Pleaders, Conveyancers,"Proct ors, Attorneys, Notaries. &c. The names of al 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 rec. nt 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 brokers; Lieutenancy of the Cit y , & c . A fist 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 street! of London, with a reference from each to the nearest receiving -ho use w hich grants and pays money-orders. This will aff or d t h e opportun i ty i n 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 co be delivered at any place in England or W a l es, an d calculating in all a t n cases time at which the letter-box for Londo n c l oses i n eac h place; s ,s w th e t eh he o u a ‘s‘ v raeffet°urrpcini of i o nf s g post." accounts of allopportunityno of lndependent of all thi s informa tion, 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 Companie s , with the rates of Assurance, &e., a re a l so f urn i shed in ample detail. One great feature in this work is, that it directs an individual to the position of a:sy 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 effeeted 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 mules 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 ; anti thou sands are now included, who re.ide without the narrow limits beyond which our books of reference have not before passed : here we have a register of all, whether dwelling in Barns bury Park, Basinghill-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 their nu cried 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 gives the names of the Directors of 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 Ehlenborough 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 d&iveries 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 anti 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 volum e , Directory, Court Guide, and Couri - 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 fdrce of its manifest superiority, it has fairly beaten every competitor out of the held, 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 vat ious 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, &sc., &c., -within the limits of the bills of mortality. It is the same with every other depart ment of the work. We 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 neces. sary for the conception of such a work, the immense care re quired in its preparation, the enormous capital requited to pro duce it, and, considering its bulk and variety, the surprisingly lox price at which it is issued, we must pronounce it, notwith standing the typographical wonders daily issued from the press, the most surprising volume to which the first citkit pe world has yet given birth. John Bull, November 27, 1841. , ti s os ( s h e v s i s s i i i gn Again we have to bestow our praise on the completeness and cheapness of the multifarious information comprised in the " Post-office London Directory," which comprehends within to grow. one moderately sized volume, of clear and easy reference, a Commercial, Trades', Law, ourt, and Parliamentary Direc of the itself.

And such a muster-roll !—an army, nay, a population, of place-holders I 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, 18 41. 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, arida Peerage and Parliamentary Chronicle, besides all the Nobility and Gentry, 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 pubic.

Vide " Times" of ;co December, 1841.—Judgment of his I&lour Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce, confirming the Injunc tion obtained against the " Post-Office Almanac," tir 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 Messrs. 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 present volume for 1942 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 pa y more attention than they have hitherto dere, less would be heard of the loss of money by the transmission of remittances b y puss in the manner usually adopted. The number of stamps is ued to the various newsp apers pubLshed throughout England a together w i t h t h e amount o f stamp dutieji,l oi n i d alillrvaelertsisis given,eineia advertisements paid by eac h paper respectively, and, indee a mass of information is brought together from which the best i informed may derive some nerease of knowledge, and to which the attention of the most ignorant arid careless can hardly he called in vain. As far as the cursory examination can justify an opinion, and it is next to impossible to pay to Furh a work as this the minute attention it deserves, it appears to be compiled with indefatigable industry, extreme vigilance, and an excellent judgment for arrangement. Morning Chronicle, December 21, 1841. We have had occasion to commend the extraordinarydiligence and accuracy shown in getting up the " Post-office Directory" fiir former years, and no less praise is due to the publication of the present volume. It contains the same immense mass of information relative to the metropolis, which Tenders the work one of the most astonishing monuments of the greatness of London that can well be conceived. This information aprars classified, distributed and arranged in a variety of ways so as to male the• facility of reference nearly perfect. The corrections necessary from the changes of a year appear, as far as it is possible t o j u d ge, to h ave b een care f u lly ma d e , and it would be, difficult to over-estimate the labour involved in such corrections. We recommend it to the favourable cons'. derat ion 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—Cay—Parliamentary— Court , _Postage—Banking— a nd Official and Conveyance Directories—each a large work, arid complete in itself ; though • the whole are requisite to a publication which professes to be a Directory for London. This is a mos A t fo co rnin mp g let H e eLa ci ld e , x N tre o m v. ,l 3 y o , us i e B f 4 ul l* work. It em braces every 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 accurate in the minutest particu lars. '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 publit-alon. Within the single volume, neatly brought out by Messrs Nelly and Co., of 01(1 Boswell-court, Temple-bar, is comprised all the information that can be useful to the fashionable, 1 gal, or commercial communities. "It in cludes a " Cou t 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 othei public departments; the " Commer cial Directory," perhaps the fullest and most complete that has ever yet appearei, 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, Dee. 22, 1841. On our reference from time to time to the Post -office Direc tory of 11141, 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 kind ever published ;" the information is so judiciously classi fied, that although it extends over some fifteen hundred large closely printed pages, every department of the compilation might be consulted in a few seconds. It is surprising how such a mass of intelligence can have 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.

The principle upon which the business of this Office is con ducted, is that of affording TEMPORARY LOANS to per sons who have been assured at least three months with the As sociation, upon terms calculated with reference to the amount of the Assurance effected, and the nature of the security of fered for their repayment. The Life Assurance and Loan Bank transactions are distinct. ADVANTAGES TO SHAREHOLDERS. It has been proved by the experience of other Establishment , founded on the same principles, that the mode before stated, of employing the c apit a l o f th e Association may, if acted upon with judgment and propriety, be adopted, not only without risk, but with the certainty of increasing the profits of the Shareholder to a degree far beyond that attainable by the ope- rations of a Life Assurance Company only. The profits of the Loan Bank belong exclusively to the Shareholders, with the addition of a remunerating deduction from all Premiums paid monthly into the Bank. Interest at the rate of Five per Cent. per Annum will be paid upon the Deposit half-yearly, and the Dividends upon the Profits of the Loan Bank declared annually, after the accounts are audited, in the month of January. ADVANTAGES TO ASSURERS. 1. A subscribed Capital, acting as a guarantee to the Polic y. holders. 2. 4s no Loan is granted without an Assurance, a large amount of additional Assurances is obtaioed by a repetition of Loans ; and as a considerable proportion of the Policies will probably be dropped on repayment of the Loans when the. pur pose has been answered, the risks on those Assurances wil then cease, and much profit accrue in consequence to the Policy-holders. 3. The Premiums received, after deducting charges, are at the end of each month paid over to the Loan Bank, and inte rest immediately allowed thereon, so that the capital of the Policy-holders is always bearing interest. 4. The participating Policy-holders will, after the paymenl of Five Annual premiums, become entitled to the whole nett profits of the Life Assurance, which will be applied to the re duction of their subsequent Premiums annually. 5. Individuals possessing real or personal property, Officers in the Army or Navy, Clergymen, Professional men, Mer chants, Tradesmen, and persons of respectability and charac ter, if assured with this Association to the amount of £3OO, at least, for life, may obtain advances of .ElOO, and upwards, for terms varying from Three Months, to any other agreed period, upon either real or personal security, to be approved of by the Directors, including the security of Policies effected by parties with this Association. Every description of Life Assurance may be effected, either with or without participation in profits._ -1 „' , Application for appointments as Agents and Medical Referees in the country, and for the unappropriated Shares to be addressed to GEO.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad a..we e lsk sv o i o th s With h little taiorce •f hi reluctance were prejudice einaedt on . pe r s our e Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a th oroug h con fid ence i n t h e talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur -1 nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir. —Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able:—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The rilultitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay reiost of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex • trei:aely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been ."educed by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed land edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, suP.h as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say I , satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing's° useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. • We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as wel as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs.

THE CONVICT DELAHUNT. Since we last adverted to the situation of the unfortunate man, Delahunt—no change has taken place in his condition. He has not been visited by any of his family, and his demea nour is quite calm and composed. His general health is good, he eats and sleeps well, his attention to his religious duties is unremitting; but his laudable disposition to prepare himself for the presence of his Creator is unaccompanied by any indica tions of terror, as the time of his execution approaches : on the eontrary he evinces the utmost resignation to his fate. His present place of confinement is a fine dry room in the hcspitai. where he is removed from observation, but, from whence escape would be impossible. One of the turnkeys of the prisor , and two men are in constant attendance on him during the day, and those two men sleep with him in the room at night, and, on being addressed by them, he cheerfully joins in their conversation. When he was first removed to the apartment which he now occupies, it was merely intended as a substitute for the day-room, and the practice was to remove him to his cell at night; but this was found to be an inconvenient mode of disposing of him, as there was not sufficient accommodation in the cell for his attendants, and he now occupies both day and night this comfortable and spacious room in the hospital. The prisoner is treated with the greatest humanity and kind ness by Mr. Allison, the Governor of the prison, and the fol lowing anecdote will serve to illustrate the extent to which his attention to the wishes of the wretched man has been carried On the occasion of his mother's visit ; the prisoner expressed a wish for some cake-bread, and with a natural feeling to mi nister to his wants, she at once complied with his wishes. The former deemed it inconsistent with the strict surveillance which he felt it his duty to exercise over the prisoner, and was reluctantly obliged to forbid the introduction of this cake into the prison ; but he caused a cake of the same description to be prepared and given to the prisoner, of which he partook most heartily. and observed that he never ate anything that he liked better in his life. His general dietary consists of bread and coffee for breakfast—bread, meat, and broth for dinner, and at extra pound of bread and tea for supper. The Rev. Mr. Campbell is most constant in his attendance on him, and has, we were informed, expressed himself highly satisfied with the manner in which he conducts himself. He 'attended Divine service yesterday between eight and nine o'clock, and his de portment during the ceremony was marked by the attention and decorum which he has invariably displayed since his awful doom was pronounced. For some time after his conviction he was very unwilling to encounter the observation of his fellow prisoners, but that feeling has now altogether vanished, and he no longer shrinks from meeting them. Having expressed a wish to see the prisoner, we were intro gaeed.to him in his apartment. When we entered he was sitting at a table, with his head resting on ids hand. He was reading a religious book, and was so absorbed in its content: that he did not appear to notice our presence. MURDER OF THE ITALIAN. _ _ The Governor in an interview with the prisoner on Satur day, referred to the last statement made by him, and which was:published in the Register of Monday last, and questioned him as to the correctness of that statement, and particularly the part of it that had reference to the murder of the Italian. He ventinded him of the solemn manner in which his father had urged him not to leave this world without nuking a full disclosure of his offences, and suggested, that as the public anxiety respecting the murder was most intense, he ought to attend to the advice of his parent, and, if he knew anything of the transaction, at once avow it, and thus for ever dispel ali doubt and suspicions on the subject. The prisoner having made no reply to this exhortation, the Governor then begged he would turn the matter over in his mind, and he said he would. This would lead to the inference that the prisoner has something to disclose in relation to that diabolical deed ; if not so, why evince any hesitation of manner, but at once declare, as he had previously done, that he knew nothing if the matter? —Dublin Pilot of Monday.

On Saturday ev en i ng last, a preliminary meeting was add at the offices of Mr. W. Lindley, Adelphi-terrace, vith a view to the formation of an association to watch, )11 the part of the public, the improvements now in pro gress, and - to urge upon Government the importance of ereparing some general and comprehensive plan em lracing the interests of the whole metropolis. The mecing was numerously and respectably at tended. • Several distinguished artists, merchants from ' the City, and men of scientific and literary reputation were present. C. W. DILKE, Esq., waa called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN briefly explained the object of the meeting. They were met, not to promote isolated pro iects of improvement, or to forward the personal and • irivate interests of surveyors, or any persons connected / 'my property with new lines of streets ; but to take up t question of considerable practical importance on broad ntblic grounds. Hitherto the subject had not been so treated. It had been left almost entirely in the bands of individuals anxious to promote the interests of particular neighbourhoods, but the interests of the metropolis as a ' whole had not been considered, and hence the progress .nade for some years past had been far from satisfimetory. It was high time the subject was discussed on its general merits, not exclusively in reference to merely local im . ' 'improvements, and this was the object for which they had then assembled. : • . , • - Mr. SMITH cordially approv e d o f the object, of the neeting. It was one which harmonised with that of mother Society with which he was connected—the Se iety for throwing open Public Monuments, which, at a cry inconsiderable expenditure, not exceeding, he be ieved, from first to last, a hundred pounds, had effected t great amount of good. Hampton Court, the Tower, Ind Westminster Abbey, were gratifying instances of what might be effected for the public by the rightly-di ceded efforts of a few individuals. In the present in ;taw: he thought it would not be expedient, indeed, it was not contemplated, that the proposed Society should undertake, themselves, the preparation of any general plan of metropolitan improvement—it should confine itself to the object of urging Government to employ fit and qualified persons for the task. Mr. C. FOWLER said, that while employed in the erection of Hunger Ford „Market, and in superintending various architectural works in the metropolis, he had )ften found reason to lament the want of unity of pur pse that had prevailed in whatever was undertaken in , he name of the public. Hence it happened, that when 'arge sums were to be expended on public buildings, no suitable sites were obtained for them, although they .night easily be provided in any general plan of ina n-ovement founded upon an accurate survey. Scarcely, lowever, any one of the plans now brought forward tppeared to have any relation or connection with any other, mud hence the whole were, to a great extent, failures. A 'committee of the House of Commons, to whom these sub ects are ref rred, was a body open to various objectionable effluences. Some of their resolutions were certainly ;erious mistakes, and not the result of enlarged views. What could be more lamentable than the decision of the ;ast Committee not to pull down the Rookery in St. S4-iles's, in carrying out the new line from Oxford-street, end this merely to save a sum of but 8,000/. or 10,000/, Ile resolution of the Committee to make a crooked mile from Bow-street, instead of a broad, 'straight thoroughfare, was also greatly to be deplored. In both tases the new property to be created would be depre tiated, perhaps to the extent of at least one-third, by he course about to be pursued. Mr. IV. E. lIICKSON thought that the attention of iovernment, should be earnesty directed to the sanitory tate of the poorer districts of the metropolis, as perhaps -he most important part of the subject. it was a startling 'lett stated in. the returns of the Register-General, that .vhile the mean annual mortality of the population . for the whole of England was 1 in 45, the mortality of the ,Vhitechapel district, owing to its over-crowded state and lefective drainage was 1 in 28. This was an alarming evil, mud not one from which the inhabitants of the western left of the metropolis were exempt, for whenever the N ind blew from the East, whatever pestiferous gasses were generated in the neighbourhood of Spitalfields or Rat :litre were driven to our most fashionable squares. It tad been proposed to improve the health of the metro )4:)lis by passing Drainage Bills, but drainage was only one part of a general question, and could not be ,properly effected as an isolated measure. Before there tould be new main sewers, there must be new main streets, letting in the light and air where the sun now never penetrated. The work afterwards of flaking lateral sewers would then be attended with no liffieulty. The necessity for new thoroughfares to fa- Alitate the traffic of the metropolis in extensive diStricts, !onsisting of intricate labyrinths of lanes and blind alleys, was a point upon which he need not dwell. The prac- Ical question was, how the object could be effected. mince the death of George the Fourth very little, compa nithely speaking, had been undertaken upon au enlarged wale. The improvements in the Strand, Regent,street, mud in the Regent's-park were well conceived in their ;enema outline, however defective in detail, and we owe them to the personal influence of that monarch. The ,oss of Nash could easily have been supplied, but Government had remained passive. What had Ocen done had been effected only through the exertions of individual surveyors,. and that net always in the most judicious manner. The experience of the last Session showed that nothing further could be expected from a Committee of the House- of Commons, and the ;mike must rouse itself in the matter if its intent were not to be neglected. The public, however, could not be got to move in favour of any isolated local schemes ; they were considered rather private than public ques tions, but it would be otherwise if a comprehensive plan were proposed, attractive in its general features, and em bracing the interests of all the metropolitan boroughs. For this reason he believed it would ba found more easy to raise funds for a comparatively costly plan. of teneral improvement than a tenth part of the same sum t'or any one of the local projects which had been set inn foot. The one would have public support, the other can only have the support of a section. '.l he public also looked with suspicion (though often unjustly) upon local 1 projects as originating in jobbing motives, H e n ce , a , general apathy existed on the subject of all the plans which had been approved by the House, and their exe cution had been found very uphill work. In a Com mittee of the House there had always been a divided in terest. A small sum of money had been raised by a tax on coals, and Metropolitan Members had scrambled for it, each wanting it and much more for his constituents. From similar motives rival surveyors come forward to depreciate each other's plans that their own might have the preference. Government should be urged to put an end to this indignified course. All should unite in some general plan for consulting the interests of all. Government ought to look forward perhaps ten years, and employ fit and competent persons to report upon the improvements most needed, and which might be carried into effect within that period. Not the Woods and Forests, already overworked, nor Members of the House of Commons, but engineers and architect s o f hi g h and established reputation, should be selected for the task.' One Act of Parliament should then be passed for the whole. If the plan were popular, as he had no doubt it would be ; and if the expenditure were somewhat equally divided between different districts, a landlords' tax of 3d. or 6d. in the pound might perhaps easily be raised ; 3d. in the pound on the rental of London would alone pro duce nearly 100,0001. per annum. It could not be thought of now ; fur why should Lambeth pay for the local improvement of Westminster ? A popular general plan would also facilitate the raising the money by other modes, if either Parliamentary grants or indirect im posts' were deemed preferable to direct taxation. All difficulties would be surmounted, as in the case of Mr. Barry's new Houses of Parliament, if the plan to be realized were one which the public could regard as an object of national pride. It should also be borne in mind that the money expended could not in this case be sunk or lost. The rental of London would be increased in a proportion greater than that of the outlay. Mr. DILLON, as one of the public deeply interested i in whatever steps might be taken for mproving the communications of London, and remov i ng t h e existing obstruction s to its commercial intercourse, wished to express his hearty concurrence in the' objects of the meeting. As an instance of the injudicious character of some of the improvements now in progress, he might allude to the widening; of Cateaton-street at an enormous expense, without rendering it either a handsome street, or one which it would be possible to continue further • to the east or west, pa as to relieve the crowded thoroughfares of Newgate-street, Holborn, and other streets in the same line. He was sorry to observe the narrow view sometimes taken by the City autho rities, which led them to suppose that the inte rests of the City were entirely unconnected pith or opposed to time interests of the surrounding districts. It was this unhappy spirit which induced them to con, tinue to levy an octroi duty upon non-freemen's carts, as if the object were to discourage, as much as possible. all traffic with their neighbours. The City, however, occa sionally displayed a liberality which, he trusted, would in this case be called into exercise, and that they would take a sound view of what the public interest really required. Mr. MA RTIN, ill signifying his desire to become member of the proposed Society, stated that, although he had taken, as was generally known, an active part for many years in favour of a comparatively local plan though upon a larger scale, for an embankment of the Thames, lie was convinced, from his own experience, and from what had been said, that the only effectual way to promote it, or any plan of corresponding importance, was to allow it to merge in the general question. He hoped Govermnent, would be induced to take up the whole subject in an impartial and a comprehensive spirit. _ - Mr. J. D. Flummox, alluding to the observations which had been made respteting the sanitory state of London, said that notice had been given of an applica tion for an Act to form a new burial ground in the heart of the borough of Southwark. Every such measure should be resisted, if any real efficient steps were to be taken for improving the health of the metropolis. Colonel Prosser, Mr. Gray, Mr. Lott, and other gentle• men expressed their approval of the object of the meeting. Some conversation took place upon the benefits which had arisen from the Wide -street Improvement Act passed for the City of Dublin fifty years back, and which gave to the Commissioners power to purchase all houses in certain lines as the leases fell in. The causes also which had led to the se tti ng as id e of Mr. Elmes ' s pl a n of improvement for St. Paul's Church-yard were discussed, and a strong desire was expressed for the c o-operation of Mr. R. L. Jones and Alderman Sir Matthew Wood. Various resolutions were proposed Society with a v i ew to mously, constituti ng th e proposed a .nd carried unani. the object defined by the Chairman, and other speak er% The meeting then adjourned.
