It has already received the following highly gratifying notice in the leading Metropolitan Journals:— SIJN, NOVEMBER 30, ISIS, 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, wile, with that energy and enterprise which, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, commands succes, determined to make it in reality what it was in name—a directory and guide to the streets, the professions, and the trades of London—to make it a mirror of the metropolis of the commercia world. To accomplish this, neither pains ncr 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 London was added; and thus the " Post-office London Directory," by the greater extent and greater accuracy of its, information, and by the more lucid arrangement of Its contents, was enabled to drive every rival Irons the Held. THE TIMES, NOVEMBER 30, 1848. The volume for the approaching year, 1849, being the 50th volume f this publication, has just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court. This volume contains all the matter which enriched those of the present and preceding years, with all such im- P - ovements as increased activity of research and careful investiga tion can supply. It ap;ears to be as accurate a compilation for the offices, trades, occupations, and residences of thousands of persons as the most minute inquiry and the most methodical arrangement can furnish. Pei haps no book more effectually answQrs the purposes for which it is intended titan this does. It is necessarily a balky volume ; but its bulk, col.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 got up, and has a map of London prefixed to it, which will be found useful. The proprietor has hid 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 P"'" , , and it is their duty, as well as their interest, to patronise his Work. MORNING HERALD, NOVEMBER 30, 1848 This stupendous and indispensable book has, with honourable Punctuality, again made its appearance, having completed 50 years 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 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 I ivairy to scorn. How such an enormous body of specific intelligence could be got together at all is a matter of wonder, but how the masses of detail brought in from the army of labourers employed to collect it could have been so adroitty 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, where)) , 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 Innerly accorded it by the letter-carriers, presents a matchless example of n•ell•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 vigLantly detected and submitted to the governing modes of analysis. MORNING CHRONICLE, DECEMBER 1, 1848. This valuable work is so well known and appreciated, that it would be a work of supererogation to enter into any explanation as to its nature and merits. It is sufficient to state that this is the fiftieth annual publication under the a'sove title, and it contains a mass of Information which can nowhere else be obtained, relative to the c ommercial, professional, and other interests in this great metropolis, so as to render its possession almost absolutely necessary to any one residing in London, and who takes an active part in the business of are. The present volume extends to upwards of 2,000 pages ; but not- W ithstanding its bulky appearance, 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 di gested and arranged, that any reference may be found out with the • greatest facility. When this publication was first started, it was little More than an alphabetical list of names and addresses ; but within the last few years the whole plan has been so expanded as to com prise not less than twelve separate parts, under the titles of the Oftl- VA the Street, the Commercial, the Trades. the L a w, the Court, the arliamentary, the Postal, the City, the Conveyance, the Banking. and the Assurance Directories. Under each of these heads every re ' qUisite information is given, so that any fact which can p - operly co me under any one of these categories can at once be ascertained. the arrangement of the present volume is similar to those which the been published for the last three or four years, but the whole of e contents have been carefully revised, and such alterations have been made since last year as the changes which have taken place in 511 residences, appointments, and arrangements under the classes which we have mentioned have rendered necessary to secure ac curacy. A There has also been a considerable extension in many of its de partments. An extremely well-engraved irrsv map of London, Prepared expressly for this work, faces the title-page. MORNING POST, NON - EMBER 30, 1841. It is jos: half a century since the " Post-office London Directory" rt Made its appearance. But how small, how limited in its objects, . t Ow ineffi,lent in its attainments it then was, compared with what , 4 „„ n Ov Is London itself, with its commerce, its extensions, its F'ulailation its improvements of all sorts, does not so far outstrip the London of 1800 as the " Post-office Directory" of 1849 does that of the first year of its publication. To the energy, the enter prise, and the nnwearying exertions of the Messrs. Kelly this great Metropolis is indebted or having a directory worthy of the gigantic Interests contained within its circumference. Such a directory no _ o ther city in th e wor ld can b oas t o f possessing. It is really amazing to Open this h uge volume an d con t em pl a te the mass of information contained therein ; and when its accuracy is tested by referring to details within our own personal cognizance, it is impossible to Withhold the expression of our admiration for the stupendous coin. I , pation, and of our b e li e f i n it s genera l tr u thfulness. The classiflca is meat complete, and under the heads of " Official," " Street," C ommercial,', " Trades," " Law," " Court," " Parliamentary," Postal," " City," " Conveyance," " Banking," &c., all the per sonal and othe r i n f o r m ation which the most copious directory can ZPart is found with the greatest facility. This work is really a ' n e monument of our country's commercial greatness and persevcr- Mg industry. MORNING ADVERTISER, DECEMBER 2, 1848. tl This remarkable, bulky, and well-known work, with the publics on for 1849 (now on the eve of being issued), reaches its fiftieth, er Jubilee year ; and, as if duly to celebrate that si ;nal event, Messrs. Kelly (for the proprietor) appear to have made, if possible, Llot only extra but extraordinary exertions to distinguish it, by pre nting Indisputably the amplest, the most clearly arranged, and the eoaspicuous and utilitari in c , mpl:ation of the kind that is mownes sential, to the world. Its multifarious merits are such that it is an al ential, not o n ly to th e commercial community of London, and l the millions who are in communication or connexion with this rat mercantile centre of that world, but mast be in continuous Where wherever parties have communications with England — and where is the civilized, or half civilized land that has not such inter e°l„.4,rse ? Te describe ts contents and peculiarities at this advanced , ° d of its history would be a very uncalled for claim upon the t h '`er's attention. ' Still we cannot forbear to mention that, since je ° work has fallen into the hands of the present management, wila ra r• Y improved, beat all competitors out of the field, s is become as valuable, correct, and (comparatively speak thg) as compact, and yet as full and complete a work, as jiterchants, bankers, commercial and trading community, could i t ,: r n. o. In fact, it 'caves no directorial want unsupplied. It is a I l d„ v , s el lous publication, as any one must admit who is competent to Urin e of the vastness and peculiarities of this metropolis. In its t or ...tones% it is an astonishing reality. What is it? It is a Direc- L o ( v and guide to the streets, the professions, the trades, &c., of t0 ,...." 1, ; . it is a just re fl ection of the capital and community of the haTeinercial world. To achieve this great object, no labours seem: o t o dalmted or tired, and no watchfulness or expenditure appears "' and re r f ect laipeded those who wee engaged in preparing this volumi " London Din r ctory."

SPECTATOR, DECEMBER 2, 1848. 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 ti.e variety, utility, and precision of its facts. Upwards of two thousand pages in double and treble 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, DECEMBEIL 2, 1848. We look upon this book as a national lsleising. Who has not fount 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 compete in its details than any of its pre decessors. Its amplitude and correctness are marvellous ; and that they are duly appreciatel we need no better proof than the fact of the übiquity of its presence. Go wher2 yoa 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:is3 this volume, which, we beiieve, we may safely affirm, could only relate to Eng land and be made in England ; for all the world besides could not su ply such matter, nor furnish such means for making it tho roughly known and easily found. The production of a newspaper is a daily 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 particulars, but merely say that all official, social, corn mercial, legal, parliamentary, courtly, and other information which may be required for conveniency, business, or pleasure, in this unbounded Babylon of ours, is here; most useful and complete in every branch and department. lIERAPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, DECEMBEII 9, 1848. There is no work of the day, in the nature of a compilation, equal to tills, both in regard to the Libour bestowed upon it and utilly 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 canaide 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 ; and it 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.

JAMES' CELERR TED ASTILIAN TINC TURE FOR TIIE TIC DO f.OREIJX, 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 distressing malady; the first appbcation 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. _ _ _ Prepared by CARSON and Co., Liverpool, sole Proprietors, and sold wholesale, for them by Barclay and Sons, Edwards, Sutton, and Co., Butler and Harding, I.

Diflidence, or a tsnse of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em ;ter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea )t caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un ximprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, end broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness And social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or seglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and Its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injarious ; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less Injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subiect. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions In health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired la early life or from the fettle:, of advanced age, while suffering from their invariahle consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap rlyini, to a quilifled physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of tiscase, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the nedical man who can show by hi, posse sion of the requisite legal walifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, tha utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas ertify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a ruarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

ADJOURNED INQUEST ON THE COLLIERS KILLED NEAR BARNSLEY. WORSBRO' DALE, SATURDA.T NIGHT. --The ad journed inquest commenced at eleven o'clock this (Saturday) morning. The first witness called was Mr. Charles Locke, colliery agent (br o th er to Mr. Locke, M.P. f o r H on iton), who said—O n th e 10th of January instant I, a l o ng with Mr. T. D. J e ff coek, of andS he fra examinede ld, a c o thellie r y- Darleyvi w m e r anda Main engineer, went into Colliery. We ex *mined the workings as we went along, and found them, in my opinion, perfectly safe. The ventilation was very good indeed. I went down into the pit again on Thursday morning last, the morning after the explosion, about three o'clock, accompanied by George Porter Maddison, a colliery-engineer, and a number of miners. I observed that several of the stoppings and doors had been blown down. In the explosion 75 persons, whose bodies had been identi fied, were killed. I considered the pit was well ventilated. It was considered so safe that the men worked with naked candles. In search of the bodies we used a Davy lamp. There may have been some accumulations of gas in the old workings. In my opinion, the recent high winds have checked the ventilation of the mine, and thus caused the explo sion. I cannot blame any one. I consider it was purely an accident, arising from circumstances un known. lam not aware that there has been the least unpleasantness between the owner of the colliery, or their superintendents, and the men. James Beaumont, colliery agent to Messrs. Field, Cooper, and Co, of Woodthorpe Colliery, detailed the exertions made to rescue the sufferers , _ and the fi n di ng of many alive o r d ea d. H e thought the explosion had been partly caused by the late preValent high winds. Had not heard any one blamed. Witness made some suggestions as to the mode of improving the ventilation of the pit. If this had been done before, and the explosion had occurred, there would not have been so many killed. George Porter Maddison, coal agent for Messrs. Field, Cooper, and Co.—From what I have seen, I think the explosion took place in the extreme east or dip work, near to the throw. I think it has not been a sudden explosion. The men are so severely burnt along the whole workings that it must have been more a hanging or slow spreading fire than a sudden blast. It has not occurred in one portion of the pit only, but in three distinct portions of the workings. It has done extremely little damage to the pit, com pared with the severity of the burning on the men and boys. I should say that the primary cause was the prevalent high winds ; for I find in this district that the thick bed coal generates a more highly car buretted hydrogen than in other mines in the north which I am acquainted with. The carbon being much heavier than hydrogen, I have no doubt that the carbon is in a measure separated from the hydro gen, thereby causing the carbon to be more in the current of the air than the hydrogen. So soon as the carbon leaves, the hydrogen will lodge in the old breaks of the superincumbent strata. I cannot say that the explosion was caused by any neglect. I consider it has occurred from accidental circum stances. I could not blame any one. James Hammond, of Logwood, Worsbro' Dale, a collier employed at Darley Main Colliery —I was working in the pit at the bottom of the dip board gate, on Wednesday, when the explosion took place. Thompson, the underground steward, went round that morning into all the workings, to see that all was right. When I got to my place to work that (Wednesday) morning, there was a shovel put in the hurry road. The shovel being put there was a sign for us to keep our candles low. It was the duty of Thompson to put the shovel there as a caution to us. The sulphur had been lodging in some of the old breaks for some time. Thompson knew as well as the men that the sulphur bad collected in the old breaks and in the holes. Thompson was in power to see that the places were right. I considered him a competent man for his situation. He had been round once that morning to examine the workings, and was in our board-gate, going round a second time, when it happened. I think he could not have apprehended that there was any danger. By the CORONER —Whom do you blame for the explosion ? Witness—l blame both Thompson and George Addey, the underground managers. 'What for ?—For letting the men work in places which were not fit to work in. They were put in power to see that the men did not work in places which were not fit. Do not you think that the fact of their both going in these places themselves shows that they thought they were fit for the men to work in ?—Yes, but it has got so bad that it could not be fit fur us to work. Some of the men would have spoke about it, but they were afraid of losing their work. Why did you not stop out of the pit if it was in this state ?—Well, I have heard the men talk about it. I cannot take as evidence anything that you have heard. Did you ever apprehend any danger ?-- I did. It does appear to me very odd that if you thought there was danger to be apprehended, you should still go to your work in the pit. What do you think was the cause of the explosion?—lt has been done through taking away all the coal before them, and th row i ng it all dead behi n d, so th a t the wind could not get down behind them. Do you mean to say that the late high winds have not had to do with the accident ?—lt may have had something to do with it, but it has been through sul phur lying in the works. What has made it lie there ?—Because no current of air could get to it to carry it away. Who do you think is to blame with regard to the explosion ?—I blame no one in regard to it. It seems very odd to me that you sho u ld fi rst say one thing and th en ano th er . Alight not the explosion have happened if there had been the greatest care, and without anybody being to blame ?--Yes, it might. Do you think it had been wilfully or negligently done ? —No. Do you say it has been accident?—Yes. The witness, in answer to a juryman, said that the men were getting pillars out of the old wor ki ngs with naked candle s , w h en th e explosion took place. The CORONER then read a letter which had been received from Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, in answer to a communication from the magistrates at Barnsley, i n w hi c h Si r G eo rg e G rey stated that if it was thei r op i n i on t h a t the pre sence of some person on th e p ar t o f t h e G overnmen t to watch the proceedings was necessary, the Government would send one. After some conversation between the coroner and the jury, the conclusion was that the coroner should apply to the Government to send down an inspector. John Harper, collier—l was working d own the dip-board on Wednesday last, when the explosion took place. I was not hurt. None of the men are to blame for the explosion. I was working when the explosion took place. We were all working with naked candles. We considered it safe where we were. 1 think it was an accident. No man set it on fire wilfully. Nutwith b tanding I have lost a son, lIE TOWER G U N S; JL OR, THE MOTION OF THE MONSTERS. Again imagination lends her aid, In kind suggestions to the bard of trade ; And under her instructions I describe A reemt meeting of the cannon tribe. You'll understand that at a certain hour, I trode the purlieus of our ancient Tower; When strange to tell, the subjects of my ditty, Were holding a discussion in committee. Vast numbers of the Guns were here assembled, And as they spoke the far-famed fortress trembled. So down I sat, and down I took the speeches, And underneath you'll understand what each is. " I rise," said Fulminator, " with a nolion Of calling notice to a special motion ; Nor will your mighty Gunships take amiss My well-meant proposition—which is this That Messrs. MOSES' Mart of wide repute Be duly honoured with a grand salute.' I'm sure," said he, "en looking at their CLOTHES, You'll acquiesce in what I now propose. Yes, brother inmates of this noted garrison, MOSES you know are far beyond comparison. All who behold the articles admit The beauty of their style, and make, and fit." "Just so," said Thunderbolt, "you've rightly rec' oned, And willingly your motion will I second. The Mart at which I'm pointing with my muzzle, To competition is a downright nuzzle. THE lIA I'S OF MOSES In the way they suit, Are equally deserving a salute. These valued tiles are such as no one shuns, So get your touch-holes ready, brother Guns." " I beg," said Fury," to support the motion, For have often entertained the notion. And when I see the worth of MOSES' BOOTS, I think they merit fif y pram] salutes. The Boots and Shoes of MOSES, firmly wrought, Cause, like the Tower Guns, a good report." " That's perfectly correct," said Cannon Bellow, " The Mart of MOSES never had its fellow; And this, you know, applies to MOSES' FUR, So, fire away, and make a glorious stir." " Bravo," said Waterloo, " prepare your noses, And don't forget THE HOSIERY OF MOSES. You know the Hosiery is good and cheap, Give it a sally, boys, let no one sleep." Die motion being put, at once was carried. And I to see the issue, gladly tarried. The firing soon commenced, when all around, • The City echoed with the moving sound ; And while the Guns in grand salutes were firing, Thousands at MOSES' Warehouse were attiring; And often was the observation made— That MOSES' are the " Two Great Guns" of trade.

The country possesses all the elements of an ex tensive trade—fertile plains, capable of producing im mense quantities of sugar, rice, and indigo, e gether with forests of teak and other valuable woods, while at the same time, in her numerous Chinese subjects she has, were they well used, a trained and energetic body of cultivators. These advantages, however, are rendered useless by a vicious system of monopolies, introduced by the present King in 1840, since which time the trade of Great Britain with Siam has greatly diminished. We have a treaty with the country, but it has become a dead letter from the absence of any representative of the British Government who could have remonstrated against its infringement. This treaty is represented to be alto gether opposed to the monopolies that have been established, and also to an oppressive tonnaee duty which is enforced, and which is levied according to measurement, whether vessels be full or empty. What is urged therefore is, that some competent person should be sent upon a mission to the Siamese Court, with the view of re-establishing our rights, and of accomplishing an equitable tariff. It is asserted that the task would not be difficult, and this statement seems to be rendered probable by the fact that one of the sons of the King is possessed of great intelligence, and a considerable know ledge of the English language and of European habits, while, at the same time, the present discontented and dangerous condition of the population must be suffi cient to warn the King that there is no time to lose in promoting such changes as .may operate for their ad vantage. EIGHT LIVES LOST AT LANCASTER.—On Monday last eight men lost their lives by the upsetting of a boat on the river Lune, at Lancaster. The men were work ing at Denny Back Quarry, on the North-Western Rail way, about two miles from Lancaster. They were in the habit of crossing the Lune in a body ; to get to Hal ton, where they lived. On the afternoon in question, the boat had crossed twice, once with ten in it, and once with seven. The third time, eleven got in, but one, thinking it too full, jumped out. The other s pushed off. The fresh was then running strong, and the wind being very high, while the edge of the boat was close to the water; the waves dashed into it, and turned it com pletely over, throwing them all into the river. One of them clung to the boat, and was heard for some time crying for help. Two others saved themselves by swim ming, and the rest sunk. On Wednesday an i nquest was held, and a verdict of "Accidental Death" returned. —Manchester Guardian. A CHILD MURDERED BY ITS MOTHER.—Mary Ann Beveridge, a blind woman, who was convicted of the murder of one of her children at the March assizes for llampshire, in 1847, and confined in the gaol at Winchester on the ground of insanity, on Saturday last, after her discharge from that asylum (by whose autho rity she was discharged we have not learned), destroyed another of her children, a boy five years of age, by strangulation. She immediately made a confession of the second murder at the station-house or the borough of Portsea, telling the police she had strangled another child. On the police going to her room, a ith her hus band, her story was found to be too true. The child was lying dead in the bed, two pieces of calico being twisted round its neck. An inquest was held in the evening, and a verdict of " Wilful murder," returned. The unfortunate woman was committed to Winchester gao MORDAUNT MALL.--The new novel, by the po pular author of " Emilia Wyndham," " Angela " &c., promises to be as g rea t a favourite as any of the pre ceding works of this gifted writer. It has been repre sented es essentially a story of the middle ranks, con veying ore of those powerful morals, which rarely fails to exert an immediate and lasting influence over society ; but by the interest it has already excited, it is plain that it is considered as a book for all classes of readers, and that it will be as eagerly perused by those who care only for present e ntertainment, as by those who can ap preciate the higher excellencies of imaginative prose fiction.

STEAM SQUADRON FOR DEVONPORT. The Salamander, Rattler, Jackal, and Growler steam sloops were navigated from Portsmouth to Devonport on Saturday, to form members of the reserve squadron of steamers to be established at the latter port. By the promotion of Captain Carroll to the rank of Rear-Admiral, Captain Thomas E. Vidal (1825) suc ceeds to the half-pay of 14s. 6d. per diem, and Captain John M. Law (1833) to the half-pay of 12s. 61 per diem. THE ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET.—We are happy to learn that Admiral Sir James Hawkins Whitshed, Bart., Admiral of the Fleet, has nearly recovered from his recent severe illness. Dr. Copeland has attended the venerable Baronet throughout his indisposition, which for some weeks created much anxiety to the members of his family. The Growler, Rattler, Salamander, and Jackal sailed on Saturday morning from Portsmouth, for Plymouth, under convoy of the Driver steam-sloop, Commander Johnson, who will wait at Plymouth to bring back the officers and seamen that navigated them to their own vessels at Portsmouth. The Espiegle, 16, Commander Campits , ll, sailed from Portsmouth for Sheerness, to pay off, on Friday evening. The Centaur steam frigate, Captain Buckle, was taken out of the basin at Portsmouth on Friday. The yard men are busy fitting and altering her bullrings and pivots for her new gun carriages. The Arrogant has received her proper masts, and has hauled off alongside the Victorious hulk at Portsmouth. She will be commissioned so soon as the President is paid off. She has now about 14 men entered—cook, painter, steward, &c., that are employed on board, get ting ready for the reception of her crew, marking and numbering her hammocks, and doing other necessary work. These men are, for the present, borne on the books of the Fisgard. A party of marines for Ascension, consisting of a ser geant and ten men, have embarked at Portsmouth on board the Centaur, to relieve a sisnilar number whose term of service afloat has expired. The SeaflJvve r cutter, tender to the Cuckoo, is in Ports mouth Harbour, refitting. The Margaretta, Evans, liner packet, embarked a large number of passengers at Portsmouth, yesterday at noon, for New York. The Malabar coal depot, having had her fittings at last completed, has been removed from the basin, and warped to her moorings off Cull Harbour, Gosport. She has only taken is her head moorings as yet, the stem moorings not being yet repair, d. When this vessel was first ordered t o b e go t rea d y , we h a d hopes that the des:- derattot we had so long looked for was to be accom plished—a coal depot at Spithead. The Superb, 80, Captain Purcell, is making a show of progress in refitting. Her topmast rigging is rattled down, lower rigging sparred down for rattling, and all her yards in their places, with the exception of the main, which is lying across the bulwarks. TESTING ANCHORS AT PORTSMOUTIL—The purport of the trial which took place on Saturday, under the superintendence of Mr. Owen, the Admiralty inspector of metals, was to ascertain whether the annealing of an chors after their manufacture would render them less brittle and hard, and whether it would not increase their tenacity and make them more tough and fibrous. Shears of about 70 feet in height have been erected in the dockyard, the anchor is hoisted to the top and se cured with a dip stopper, the purchase is then cast off; and the anchor hanging, in the nautical phrase, "a cock bill," is dropped; it falls on a secure platform at the bottom of the shears, the platform being solid, the top formed of a layer of large pigs of iron ballast, each of 3 cwt. The anchor is supposed to drop on its crown, the distance from the crown of the anchor to the plat form being a fall of about 50 feet. Two large sized an chors were tried to-day, both were what are termed Sir William Parker's, or Admiralty anchors, each weighing 48 cwt., and both similar in every respect except the ar.,- nealing,. The first tried was the anchor in its natural state, as it came from the forge; this was tried twice, and in both cases there was not the slightest damage done to the anchor from the two falls, but each time the pigs of ballast were smashed to pieces. The next trial was with the annealed anchor. This anchor had undergone the process of being heated to a bright-red heat, and in that state covered over with hot bricks and ashes, and thus allowed to cool gradually without exposure to the influence of the atmosphere. Contrary to expectation, this anchor broke upon being . dropped on th e b a ll ast, one of the arms breakingorfte short close to th e b roa d part o f the palm.

LAUNCH OF THE VULCAN STEAM FRIGATE. : WOOLWICH, JAN. 27.—A considerable nuceb,r of persons assembled this afternoon on both sides of Bow-creek to witness the launch of this fine Vessel. Amongst the gentlemen present on the platform at the bows, when the ceremony of naming her took place, were Mr. Maudslay, Mr. Field, Mr. George Rennie, M. Zorab (the Turkish Consul), Mr. F. P. Smith (of the screw. propeller department at the Admiralty), Mr. ROlt, Wad nunrotis other gentlemen cpanectvci with NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. By the death of Vice Admiral Haling, Rear-Admiral H. M. Ommanney is promoted to the rank of Vico- Admiral; and Captain Carroll, C. 8., is promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral. By the promotion of the latter officer a good service-pension of 150/. per annum reverts to the gift of the First Lord of the Admiralty. Captain Carroll was midshipman of the Diamond, and in 1796 assisted at the destruction of a French corvette, 8-gun lugger, and convoy, on Henri Point, under batteries, which were stormed, and guns spiked ; and i❑ the same year was made prisoner with Sir Sydney Smith. Was midshipman of the Syren, at the capture of Surinam, in 1799; and in 1800 was severely wounded in attacking a French sloop, under Havre de Grace. Was acting lieu tenant of the Centurion, in the engagement with the squadron of Linois, in Vizagapatam Roads, 1801 ; was flag-lieutenant to Sir Sidney Smith in the Pom pee in 1806 ; at the sieges of Gaita and Scylla, and the storming of Capri ; and in 1807 commanded the seamen and marines at the destruction of the battery and guns on point Pesquies, and the guns in the wrecks of the Turkish ships. In the same year he commanded an armed transport, tender to the Pomp6a, at Copenhagen, and repeatedly engaged the enemy's defences; he was senior Lieutenant of the Achille at Walcheren, and at Cadiz in 1809, and in the Cadiz flotilla in 1810. Was at the attack upon Fuengirola and Malaga; and in 1811 his vessel was sunk at the attack upon Fort Catalina. Served also at Barossa and Tarifa, and until the siege of Cadiz was raised; commanded the Volcano in co•opera tion with the Spanish patriots on the coast of Catalonia, and served on shore in a breaching battery at the cap ture of Fort St. Philip, when he was injured by the bursting of a shell; he , conveyed important dispatches across the country to the Duke of Wellington relative to Tarragona; was Captain of the Revenge in the Adriatic at the reduction of Venice, and the capture of the squa dron in that port; and Captain of the Cyrus at the sur render of Napoleon in 1814. Twice officially mentioned by the Duke of Wellington, and gazetted in 1804, twice in 1806, 1807, 1810; twice in 1811; and in 1813. Lieutenant J. G.

She has since been reduced to have only engines of 350-horse power, and converted into a troop-ship capable of carrying at least 1,000 troops, with every convenience for them. She has excel lent room between decks, and when fitted with her screw propeller, which will occupy about two months, will add a splendid troop. ship to the navy. Mr. Bellamy, master attendant at Woolwich Dockyard, was on board during the launch, and she was navigated round under his di rections, towed by the Monkey, to the East India Docks, where her engines will be put on board. Ber draught was 11 feet on launching, but when all her stores are on board, and she is complete for service, she will draw about 16 feet. THE CL,OA! 3C (ntTAN. The following letter has just been received by a near relative of one of the officers of Sir James Brooke's suite : "Labuan, Nor. 2, 1848. "A merchant-ship sails to-day for Singapore, by which opportunity I write to say we are all well. You will probobly hear miserable accounts of the unhealthy state of this settlement, and in fact there is a great deal of fever, but of a mild intermittent kind. We are living in a marsh, which fully accounts for it. The Europeans are fixing on sites for their bungalows on the high lands in the interior. The Raja's house is to be commenced at once, and I doubt not in a few weeks we shall get out of this unhealthy spot. We have just returned from Bruni —a most satisfactory visit. The Sultan built us a very good house close to his palace. The Borneans have quite knocked under to us. Macota (the wily one) was as oily and soft as if he had never been anything but our staunchest friend. They promise to assist us at La buan to the best of their ability, and are to send usover workmen to build the Raja's house. I am myself very enthusiastic about Labuan, and very confident of its ultimate success ; still there is no disguising the fact that this sickness has created a panic which may greatly retard our progress. The Admiral paid us a visit of a few hours the other day in the Auckland, visited the Europeans, dined with the Raja, and took a short ride on the road to the barracks. Ile left us with an un favourable impression of Labuan. The Meander is to be si nt back here immediately, and probably we shall ba off to Sooloo next month. The Sooloos have again been committing piracies. One account of an attack made by them on a Bornean boat has just reached us ; they tempted the crew on shore and murdered them to a man ; we shall hare fighting there yet. Tho Raja, lam sorry to say, is not looking su well as usual . lie has much to harass him ; the sickness in the island is a source of anxiety to him. One of our own party has been laid up with fever, but is now recovered. The ungenerous attacks made by the jeal ous Bii , gaporeans are another annoyance to the ltsjs. I have enjoyed the best health, and the in terest I take in alt that goes on iu every little improve ment prevents my feeling ennui. My life is a very re gular one, and far from unpleasant. I get up every morning between seven and eight, bathe and dress, then read and write till ten; we breakfast at eleven, readorrite, study Malay, and chat till hall-past four, when all sally out for a walk, or sometimes a pull or sail. Our walks are very circumscribed. We have a fine sandy beach for two miles in one direction; in the other, the road to the barracks, which is progressing rapidly; it is cut for two miles through the heart of the jungle, and we can now ride over it with ease; of course it will be a long time before it is macadamised. Our bungalows will be built near this road. The Rajah has chosen a spot close to a very pretty ravine with a waterfall. Our communications with Singap ore are so uncertain you must never be surprised at not getting letters. I hope soon to be able to send you better accounts of our pro gress. I am quite confident myself. We are most anxious that the Eastern Archipelago Company should commence operations here. The settlement is at a standstill for want of European enterprise and capital. Do not be surprised if you do not hear from as for the next month or two. We shall probably be at Sooloo." TOTAL LOSS OF AN EMIGRANT SHIP. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVERING.—We regret to state that accounts have reached Liverpool from Hol land to day, stating that the emigrant ship Atlantkt, Captain Ross, which sailed from Liverpool for New Orleans on Friday, the 12th instant, has been run on shore near Ardroasan and gone to pieces. The At lantic bad no less than 400 emigrants on board, and, considering the tempestuous weather through which she passed prior to the accident, it is somewhat won derful that no lives were lost. This was in a great degree owing to the activity, manly bearing, nautical skill, and great humanity of the gallant captain who commanded the ship. A cabin passenger, with whom we are acquainted, has written us a brief description of the affair, some of which we subjoin. The writer says—" Soon after the pilot left the ship on Friday, the 12th, the wind changed, and Captain Ross still hoped to get round Holyhead, the usual course for outward bound ',ships. Finding that impracticable, and the wind getting dead ahead, he beat up to the Isle of Man, in hopes of finding his way into the Atlantic by the Northern Channel, but it came on to blow so hard, and the drift set in so much upon the land, that we were unable to weather " Calf," and again beat our course southward, hugging the Irish shore close. Ilowever, it was of no ava il ; we could have g o t roun d Holyhead certainly, but should have gone un shore in Carnarvon Bay, without any mistake, and also gone to pieces, which would have been much worse. All this time it was blowing heavily, and fearing it would be still worse, we tacked again, keeping close into the eastern shore of Old Ireland, passing between Ruthlin Island and the main land, giving, as you may see by the map, the Calf of Man a wide berth, and with good luck got into the blue water of the Atlantic on Tuesday, with a fair probability of soon making a good south and west course. Again, the wind changed, and for several days we encountered heavy storms; and such was their perversity, that no port the captain decided upon going into for shelter, or repairs, could be made. All disasters, all dangers past, were as nothing to those encountered yesterday and to-day, and from my heart do I thank God I am here to tell you. Yes terday, about three P.M., the wind proving favour able, Captain Ross determined to run into some port, either Londonderry, Belfast, Arran Isle, or Glasgow. With that purpose our course was changed, and more sail put on the ship ; in less than an hour 'land' was seen ahead, which we knew from mid-day observa tion to be the 'forelands.' The heavy gale had now increased to a storm. The jib, a new and strong sail, went with a report like thunder into a thousand pieces; and then the mainsail parted. It was soon cut away, however, without injury to the masts. Our sole trust was now in the main-foresail. After undergoing many and severe trials, we were tossed about; and when a vain attempt was made to get into the Clyde, we run ashore here, near Adiossan, and the ship has since gone to pieces, but no lives a re lost." Th e wr it er t h en passes a high eu l og i um on b e captain for his conduct during the trying scene.
