WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2.—Dr. Candlish, on Wednes ' day, at the meeting of the Commission of the General Assembly, Edinburgh, recounted verbally the proceed ings of his party with regard to Sunday travelling, and stated, that he thought the Commission ought to re-ap point the Committee, and authorize them to report to next General Assembly, and that the Assembly in return should instruct them to .prepare and issue a pastoral address to the 'People of Scotland, warning them against Sabbath desecration ; and that the Committee should bear their testimony of approbation to the shareholders of those other railways who had refused to run trains on the Sunday, viz. the Dundee and Arbroath Railway, the • Glasgow and Ayr Railway, and the Glasgow and GreenOck Rail Way. Dr. Candlish added, that for the means of stopping this Sabbath desecration, he httd no hesitation in expressing his approval of Combining toge ther the friends of the Sabbath to abstain totally from the use of the railway on other days of the week, as well as on Sunday (!) Dr. Candlish attempted to refute the idea that - by combining together to give a preference to those modes of conveyance which do not desecrate the Lord's day, we are inflicting a pecuniary penalty on the Proprietors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway for the offence of Sabbath desecration; and that, while it may ba competent for the Civil Magistrates to punish in their •way;it . is not coinp4ent - .for .. prtvate . individ ua l s t o d o i t. Dr: Candlish added, "I sa'wit stated in a newspltpei a few days ago that we were liable to a prosecution under the Act for preventing combinations of workmen to raise their wages.—(Great laughter.) lam perfectly willing, for my own part to run the risk of prosecution in de fence of this or any other part of God's law; but if we arc liable to prosecution, under the Act referred to, for combining together to discountenance Sabbath desecra tion, I can only say that the combination laws are ten thousand times more oppressive than in their worst shape I ever thought them.—(Hear, hear.) A memorial on the subject of Sabbath Observance, t from the Edinburgh Committee of Bankers, Merchants. Scc.. was then read. 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 following outline of the contents will enable the reader to form some idea of the vast undertaking. It contains an Official Directory, w ith the names alphabetically arranged, of all civil officers under Go vernment, in the Bank of England, East India House, and all other public establishments. A Street Directory, which in cludes gentry as well as traders; and subjoined to this, are two others, giving the names at full length, of sixty thousand per. sons engaged in commerce, and lists of two thousand trades established in the metropolis, with the tradesmen attached to each, and the subdivisions of every trade accurately defined. There are separate Directories also for the Court; the Par hamen, with the most r e ce n t a dd resse i o f t h e M em b ers o f , 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 addresses of all City Officers, Companies, &c. The Court Dire c t or y i nc l u d es , 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 thful to persons of every description ; and among ether additions made to it for this year is one of great importance, showing the time at which a 1. Um- from London should be delivered at any place in England or Wales, and ti e time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place. The facilities afforded by the Postmaster-General give the compilers advantages which could not otherwise be obtained The information is furni.hed from the Post-office grani4ously, 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 fur the year 1841 The work is beautifully printed, sold at a moderate price, and will be !ound of great service to persons in every rank of life. 114 - R.

DRAMATIC and DESCRIPTIVE SCENAS and C INTATAS, also Illustrative Songs rid Characteristic Pal lads, by Mr. HENRY RUSSELL (from America), are now being published by Cramer and Co., 201, Regent-street. 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 vol umes. The contents are admirably arranged. There is a distinct alphabetical lit of the names, in number, of all civil officers under Government, in the Bank of England, East India House, and all other puhlic establishments; an alphabetical list of streets in the metropolis and its vicinity, with - the inhabit ants according to their numerical order in each street; the only Street Directory yet published which includes gentry as well as traders. There is also a list of all officers, from the Lord Chan cellor down to the Usher of the most inferior Court • Police Courts, with their officers and jurisdictions ; alphabetical lists of Queen's Serjeants, Queen's Counsel, Serjeants at law, Benchers, Ba ri•ters, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers, Proctors, Attorneys, Notaries, &c. Tne names of all persons in the metropolis and its immediate vicinity not engaged in trade, are given with the most accurate lists yet published of the New Parliament, and the most recent Addresses of the Members of both Houses. There are, besides, the name and addresses of City Officers and Common Councilmen; City Companies and their clerks; lists of sworn brokers ; Lieutenancy of the City, &c A list is given of all the principal places in England, Ireland, and Scot and distinguishing those which grant and pay money-orders, land, referring to the money-order office nearest to those which do not ; and an alphabetical list of the streets of London, with a reference from each to the nearest receiving-house whichgrants and pays money-orders. This will afford the opportudity in all cases, in town and country, of applying to the nearest office for a money-order, and of obtaining it upon the office moat 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 should be delivered at:any place in England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place ; thus affording the opportunity of calculating in all cas e s the "retur n o f post.' independent of all this information, we have copious accounts of all conveyances by railways, stage-coaches, waggons, carts, vans, vessels, barges and Loats ; with complae accounts of all the bankers, joint-stock-banks, and banking establishments of the United Kingdom ; the names of the Directors and officers of the various Assurance Companies, with the rates of Assurance, &c ,are also furnished in ample detail. One great feature in this work is, that it directs an individual to the position of any 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 Directory in this book helps him out of this difficulty by giving the names of the inhabitants of each house of No. 1 upwards. Sund y Times, December 5, 1841. This useful work is just published ; it is, in short, a Com mercial,Trades Law, Court, Parliamentary,City, Postage,Con ve) ante, 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 ltlagliabechi 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. Toap proximate closely, to the communication of the names, resi dences; and trades of the inhabitants of London,a task from which a literary Hercules might flinch. Railway Magazine, December 4, 1841. Judging from the great superiority of the last edition of this work over its competitors, we did not anticipate the improve ments which have been effected in the present, which not only place this Directory at the head of the list, but must drive:the others out of the field. An entirely new division has been introduced, viz.,' the " Official Directory," which furnishes the full names and positions of all persons holding public situations under Government, the East India Company, the Bank, &c. The scope of that important branch, the " Street Directory," has been very considerably extended ; and thou sands are now included, who reside without the narrow limits B• TILLY Honorary Secretary. 116/INAS GERAES-'3lllll 4 1Z --- G CO Mk .

ONE SOVEREIGN REW.ARD—LOST, at Hyde-park Corner, on SATURDAY. February 26, between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a GOLD CHAIN BRACELET with . 4.OCKET, on which was the following inscription :—" Rose to Ada, Nov. 2,1839." Any one bring ing the same to Mr. Bywater, Jeweller, 99, Piccadilly, shall receive the above reward. beyond which our books of reference have not before passed : here we have a register of all, whether dwelling in Barns bury Park, Blisinghall-street, or Beigrave-square, in King's road, Che'sea, or in Kingsland; and one of the great advan tages peculiar to this publication is, that all inhabittnts are inserted in their numerical 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 Ellenborough at Governor. General of India, and of his suc cessor at the India Board, Lord Fitegerald. The "Postage Directory" furnishes much original and highly valuable in- formation in reference to Money Orders, and to the precise time of the deliveries of letters throughout the country. A volume so valuable as this will be generally appreciated. It does honour to the establishment which can put forth so vast an amount of authentic information of character so diversified, and it reflects credit on those who have so arranged it that the work is eqnally a model of compilation and of typography. We cannot but think that a title more appropriate than merely "Post-office London Directory" migh. be chosen. The work surely merits a name that would convey a definite idea of in formatiqn so vast and varied, uniting as it does, in one volume, Directory, Court Guide, and Court Kalendar, and superseding the whole class of similar publications. Globe, December 1, 1841. This useful " Annual " comprises, among other information, an Official Street, Commercial, Trades, Law Court, Parlia mentary, City, P os t age, C onveyacce, and Banking Directories. It is only necessary to announce the publication itself, and to add that, arranged as it has been with care and attention, aided by sources of official information peculiar to itself, it may be taken as a safe guide in the various matters upon which it professes to enlighten the public. 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, se long as better is clearly attainable; and such appears to be the opinion of the enter prising 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 yerr, till, by the mere force of its manifest superiority, it has fairly beaten every competitor out of the field, and become, from the variety, copiousness, and accuracy of its information, an indispensable requisite to every count wlogl-lhouse quitean d shop pos s i i n ble t , h e i nmae brieft ro p o 1 n i s o t a i c ri e d , t i o t s gi s v u e b u a r i b ly s . th n T g t like an adequate idea of the contents of a closely-printed royal octavo volume, running to upwards of 1,500 pages.

If a complete list of all persons engaged in any one of the various professions or trades exercised in the me tropolis is sought, turn to the " Trades' Directory," and you have, ready to your hand, arranged in alphauetical order, and with the residence attached, a return of every ac countant, apothecary, artist, &c., &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 'anatomise l ; the most cor rec t, as wel as the most useful, record of it s 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 required to produce it, and, considering its bulk and variety, the sur prisingly low price at which it is issued, we must Pronounce it, notwithstanding the typographical wonders daily issued from Pres, the most surprising volume to which th e fi rst c i ty i n the world has yet given birth.

On• Saturday morning, about six o'clock, a fire, at ' tended with considerable destruction-of property, broke out on the premises occupied by Mr. H. Tyer, tailor and woollen-draper, '•Nos. 33 and 34, Newington -causeway. It is supposed to have originated in the kitchen, which was situate in the rear of the front premises, together with. workshops. Among the first who discovered the fire was Mr. Tyer's daughter - . .Froth her statement it appears that she was awoke by being - almost suffocated by the smoke that filled her apartment, and on going to the window which overlooks the kitchen and back pre mise,,, perceived the flames .raging fearfully in those buildings. She instantly alarmed her father and the rest of the family, consisting in the whole of fifteen persons, five of whom were young children, and they were forced to escape immediately into the street, without even saving:their clothes. Mr. Tyer's mother and a female servant had a most miraculou.!eescape. They, it ap pears, slept in bbd-room over ; the ;, kitchen, w hi c h was wholly detacke - dfrom the dl4lling, and by the time the fire was discovered the staircase had caught; thereby cutting off all escape, and thei.would have inevitably perished had nut Mr. Tyer,got-zto their assistance and got them across some plank s placed into the bed-room window from the dwelling. Within ten minutes after the flames had reached to the front premises, Nos. 33 and 34, and quickly extended throughout the buildings, consuming the , different floors With extraordinary ra pidity. The first engines that arrived were from the force en quartered r t e h d e oforeman the s. e o r f Surrey the e i de whole fire-establishme n t stat i on in Southwark-bridge-road, with a party-of b r i ga d emen under_ the command of Mr. kI d e T t h h e e m b e s uh r gtu ( caused them to be di rectly put into operation. All that e ) f remains of. the abov e p rem i ses, which were very exten o the of sive, are the walls, and a portion of the first-Hoot' flooring. The-whole- of• the furniture, stock, &c., that were on the premises, is destroyed.. The houseS ad jacent, namely, 32 and '35,. the 'former occupied by Mr. Clark, carpenter, and the latter by Mr. Joy, have sus tained injury; and there are several houses situate in Meder-place greatly damaged. Throughout the raging of the fire a detachment of the M division of police were on the spot, and -exerted themselves with great credit, both in assisting the firemen in their operations, and saving property from the . houses adjoining, which were for some time in imminent danger. The loss of property is supposed to be nearly 3,5001. Mr. Tyer is insured in the Hand-in-Hand Fire-office. • 'At about two o'clock in the afternoon. of the same day, another - .fire, but of a more serious description burst forth from ,Mr. Nisbett's aca demy, situate adjacent to K enn ington Manor-house, Lower Kennington-lane, and so terrible was its ravages that in less than one hour after the commencement, the entire building, together with a portion of the adjoining house, was. destroyed. It seems that the family were about sitting down to dinner, when screams were heard to proceed from some of the servants, and immediately aftewards one of them rushed into the room where they were assembled and gave the alarm that the house was on fire, which Mrs. Nisbett found to be the case, for at that moment an immense body of smoke shot up the staircase and almost suff'ocaed them. lii .the course of a feW minutes after the alarm was given, Mr. Superintendent' Grinsell, of' the 14 division of police, arrived with a posse of. men, and by the time , the engines here up a large space was cleared for their operations. Amongst those who first arrived were the brigade from the Waterloo road station, and that belonging to the West of England fire-office, which were as soon as pos4ble got into play. After cooling the lower part, they forced their way to the staircase of the burning building, and strove their utmost to save the basement story, but this was foimd utterly impracticable, and shortly afterwards the roof and floors fell in, and the destruction of the. pre- j mites became complete. By this time, Mr. 13raidwootl, the superintendent of the force, had arrived with seven ! other powerful engines belonging to vario us s t at i ons, t h e greater part of which were brought to bear on the fire. Mr. Nisbett's dwelling being in ruins, the exertions of the firemen were directed to the home adjoining, belong ing to Mr. Bermuda, the engineer, whose factor) , near Southwark-bridge, it will i be recollected, was burned down about 1S months since. The roof had naught, and for some time there was every appearance of its sharing a similar fate to that belonging to Mr. Nisbett ; b ut after much exertion the flames were pre vente d from de scending further than the third fl oor, which was f Mr. I 3 • destroyed, as well as the roo raidwood, on of . th in stituting inquiries as to the n e_ fire, ascertained causears at the that it originated in the the .boarders sement of the premises by one of . which makinghad a " bonfire " amongst six sacks of shavings,been deposited Unfortim there on the day preVious.. ately Mr. Nisbett fraction of the property consumed, is not insured for one While His loss is estimated at 3,0001. his house was de aged as stroyed, he was eng a juror at t h e the trial was over Old Baile • 'Y SesSions, and as soon as he Was allowed to retire. 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 one moderately-sized volume, of clear and easy reference, a Commercial, 'rrades', Law, Court, and Parliamentary Direc tory. It is at once the fullest volume of the kind, the most ex act, has the most recent intelligence—the information it em bodies having been collected within the last seventy days from official sources, and through agents possessing the requisite lo cal knowledge, and is altogether the completest guide-book to the metropolis that has hitherto appeared. Spectator, Dec. 4, 1811, This extensive work still continues to grow. B es id es a revi sion and extension of the other branches, the Official Directory has now been increased so as to form a division of itself. This part, like the other sections of the subject, is subdivided; one part containing a list of Government and other public offices, under which the names and employments cif the persons are arranged ; the other presents an alphabeticll list of persons holding offices under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank of England, &c.

The Courrier de la Gironde asserts that, about 18 months ago, a young man in eating a! , apple of one of the pippins fixed in a decayed tooth, which occasioned him great pain, and was totally unable to be extracted, notwithstanding the use of all manner of tooth-picks. At length the pipp'n, by dint of pushing, was driven down below the tooth into the gum, and no more pain was felt Six weeks ago, however, a swelling was perceived in the gutn, and ulti mately an abscess was formed; the m e dical men examined it, and found that the pippin had begun.to germinate ! " The young man," adds the Courrier, "is in the habit of k eping cotton wool in his teeth, and this is supposed to have hastened the vegetation! This remarkable phenomenon is still in his sn o w, !.• A letter from Naples states that a phenomenon imilar to what has been observed in Sweden, has taken place 0.1 the coast of Italy. It "appears from the report of M. Nic colini, and other Neapolitan geologists, that the ltvel of the sea fell gradually, from 1823 to 1838, 112 millimetres, or be tween four and five inches English. The Rev. Mr. GIBSON, of Glasgow, said, I think it would be very desirable,"that, in addressing the people of Scotland on this subject, it should be pointed out td them specially and openly, that they will subject them selves to Church discipline if they are guilty of taking employinent as servants.. of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, or in any other way desecrating the Lord's Day in connection with it. He .was aware that Kirk Sessions had this power already.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. JAMES BRIDGES, V.S., said he had a suggestion to otter. He thought that if individual' members were to use theirinfluence with the Shareholders, in order to bring them to right views on this important question, great good might be effected. It - Was so far satisfactory to them, as Scotchmen, that the resolution of the Share holders had not been carried by Scottish influence. Mr. W. COLLINS ' Glasgow, begged to correct a mis take into which Mr. Bridges had fallen from want of pro per information. It was not true that the resolution of the Shareholders was carried solely by English Votes. He had been informed by Mr. Leadbetter, the Chairman of the Directors, that even independent of the English shareholders, there was a majority for running the trains. He thought it right that the truth should be known: RAINY v. BAINBRIGGE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—As some explanation seems to be . necessary in reference to the report of this case, which appeared in your journal of yesterday, you will much oblige me by affording a space in your columns for 'that purpale, as the means of correcting any erroneous impression it may occasion. The facts were these : Mr. George Davies, of Tavistock-square, a gentle man w:11 known and much respected (since deceased), was co-trustee of the estates in . question " with Mr. Bainbrigge, a medical practitioner at Market Drayton, in Shropshire ; and after the estates had been twice brought to auction, without success, in the country, under the management of Mr. Moss, a solicitor, of Derby (a period of between two and three years*having been taken up in the affair), Mr. Davies applied to me to undertake the sale of them in London. Now as there were circumstances affecting the, estates claiming special consideration as to professional charges, it was arranged and agreed between Mr. Davies, Mr.'Moss, and myself, that although it was contemplated to divide the property into lots, a commission of 1 per cent. only (the usual one in the case of an estate sold in one 'lot) should be charged,- which commission should include all 'advice and assistance on my part as to value, either as an entirety or for each specific lot, and also . the ex-* penses of advertising and printed particulars, and all other expenses whatever (except for travelling) ; and with respect to two other separate farms, called Knighton and Maes y Gws, that a reasonable portion of addi tional expenses should be allowed ; but it wa under the solicitor of Derby, was proved by Mr. Moss himself on his examination in Court as a witness for the defence. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient and faithful servant, ALEXANDER RAINY. 14, Regent-street, Feb.. 26. stoo twof l a t r h m a s i , a n s previous oeommi offers ssioa had on them m b si e l i made o l uld fur ho attach h if fth s ie e biddings at the auction did not exceed such offers. The commission, however, of 1 per cent., including all ex penses, was to be payable' on the Hall of the Brand estate, unconnected with any such contingency. The estate, not 'having . been disposed of; either in part or the whole, at the auction (which was held in August, 1838), remained in my hands for sale in the usual course, and the agency went on, and was in continuance in'lB39. Subsequent- to the auction, applications were made to me, and much correspondence passed in negotiations, for the main estate, and for detached portion, and of w hi c h circumstances Mr. Davies, Mr. Bainbrigge, and Mr. Moss, were cognizatit. re that correspondence terminated (at about Fe bruary or March, 1838), a gentleman of the name of Sillito offered Mr. .Bainbrigge .35,000/. for the .Hall of the Brand estate (the -sixteen - lots * in one), in clusive of the timber,: supposed to be worth about 1,000/, the estimate formed by me; be it observed, a full price for this e s t a t e , after my inspection of it, being 36,000/., and the apportioned reserved biddings for the 16 lots at the auction having been so shaped as, in the event of sale, to bring the total amount to about that sum. When the offer was made by Mr. Sillito my advice was - sought - by Mr. _Alois and Mr. Bainbrigge, was apprised that- the ordinary practice was that Mr: Sillito should be referred to me, as I had been, and was still, endeavouring to effect the sale of the . estate, and was actually in treaty for some of the lots. Mr. Bainbrigge, however, did not think proper to do - so,- and he shortly afterward closed a bargain with Mr. Sillito at 35,0001. From this I could draw no other conclusion than that the reason for not referring Mr. Sillito to me was to avoid the commission, whilst the advice and estimate submitted by me as to the value was made aVailable, as a gnide for his decision, and as a ground for removing any future liability from himself and Mr. Davies as trustees.- . WOOD PAVING OF OXFORD. STREET. The Vestry of St. Marylebone was attended very nu merously on Saturday, in consequence of the long-con tested,question of ,the paving of Oxford -street with wood being to be decided. The chair was filled by Mr. Tabrum, and in the room we observed Lord Kenyon, Lord Nugent, Sir Benjamin Hall, M.P., Joseph Hume, Esq., Dr. Dibdin, &c. After some preliminary business had been disposed of, the Clerk of the Vestry read Mr. Joseph's motion for extending the wood paving in Oxford -street fresh . Wells-street to Vere- street, which had been carried oti last Saturday, and which was to be then either confirmed or the contrary. Mr. HARBEAT opposed the - confirmation of the motion, and asserted. that .the Wood Paving COmpany, when they found. the wood pavement they had executed in Oxford -street failing, had taken up some. of the blocks clandestinely ; he had procured three of these blocks, which he exhibited to the meeting, stating that they had worn down from 6 inches to 41 inches in eighteen months. Several other members opposed the motion ; but none of the .supporters of: the motion spolle. • It:Was i . evident that they. felt, secure of.a majority- on a division, -and had no desire to' prolong the discussion. The motion was then read, " that the Committee are ready to receive tenders for paving . Oxford -street with wood from %Veils -street to Vere street." A division was called ft,r, when there appeared— For confirming the motion . - 41 Against it 24 Majority. 17 It was then moved and carried that advertisements should be put forth, stating that the Vestry would receive tenders for :he Proposed work on that day month. Neither Mr. Davies (who supposed Mr. Bainbrigge or Mr. Moss would have acquainted me with the sale) nor Mr. Bainbrigge nor Mr. Moss ever wrote one line to inform me that the estate was sold, when in April, 1839, (the agency never having been withdrawn from me), I re-advertised the Hall of the Brand estate at the same time with seve ral others, then on the market, f or sa l e by p r i vate con tract ; when Mr. Sillito, seeing the advertisement, call e d and told me that he had bought the property of Mr. Bain brigge about a month before. • The sum demanded by me, in the account delivered upon Mr. Sillito's completing his purchase, was one half per cent. on 36,0002; 50 guineas for the journeys of my self and assistant, and for drawing the particulars and putting up the fifteen lots ; besides 151/. 6s. forexpenses, which were proved in Court to have been advanced out of pocket, making together 3831. 16s. Under the ad vice of -Mr. Moss, the trustees refused to pay that sum, and tendered 2031.165., which th - ey afterwards paid into ' Court. - I offered them a reference, and to leave the ad justment of the aceount to any respectable auctioneer (naming several to them), but to This fair arrangement Mr. Moss would not accede, and after repeated endea vours,. through Mr. Davies, to settle the matter amicably, I was at length obliged to bring the action. Now - it is essential here to remark 'that the three particulars of ac count- did not, as stated in the report, vary in the total amount. Mr. Moss' requiring further particulars, after the commencement of the action, they were furnished in the second and third accounts under - the 'usual " Judge's order," and were prepared by Counsel in a form to enable me to show, and to prove in Court, the expenses. But the action' was brought for the commission of one per cent. on 35,000 L, and which included all charges and ex • penses whatever, except the costs of travelling and a fair proportion of the expenses applicable to the other two e sta t f e s ) r , farms a ( i n d o n t g fo t o r g m e i t n h g e r a the part count—viz., 383/. 16s. s o am f t e he to H ta a l l as l otfhthe firstß r Brand estate), d. The principle contended for had been recognised and established by several special Juries of merchants, and is the one by which all brokerage is regulated. Is it reasonable, therefore, or consistent, to oppose its appli cation in the case of the landed estate broker ? this mode of payment by commission has existed for centuries, and is universal in matters of agency in every ' part of the world. Unfortunately for me in this trial, only five special jurymen out of the twenty-four who were summoned could be found, when the cause was called on at h a lf • past nine, and I was compelled either to consent to pray a tales, .or to allow the trial to stand over ; which latter alternative would have occasioned great inconvenience and loss of time to the witnesses, and which I was un willing to expose them to ; but had .twelve mercantile gentlemen been in the Jury- . box, I have no doubt what ever that I should have received (as I did on a former occasion) an instantaneous verdict for the full sum claimed (instead of the one returned of 50 guineas and and the 203/. 16s. paid into. Court), notwithstanding the summing, up of the Learned Judge who tried' both these cau ses, and whili_there is - some di ffi culty in reconciling with his Lordship ' s summing up in the case of " De ver v. Chohuondeley case which involved a similar point and was grounded on the same principle. In ad dition to thi s, my demand for th e w h o l e sum was b ase d on a usage and Practice well understood and admitted in respect to all contracts 'meml into upon faith ; and that such a contract . was so madewith the, and with the privity and knowledge and in the presence of Mr. Muss INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENG NEERS. MA RCH I.—The discussion upon copper sheathing was renewed ' and a member remarked that many curious facts might be elicited from !lir. Wilkinson's paper. The early specimens of copper sheets were found to have been more durable than those of re ' c:nt manufacture : the former contained an alloy of 1-300th part of zinc. r.luntz's patent metal was alloyed with about the same proportion of zinc, which accounted for the good reputa tion which it enjoyed for durability. Professor Faraday, Mr. Phillips and Mr. Tayl or h a d b een consulted by the Admiralty upon the difference of durability of metal sheathing. They had recommended assaying, but had not been able to detect any diffeience in the chemical constitution of the numerous specimens submitted to them. Several curious circumstances relative to the uncertainty of the quality of copper produced by the proce ss - o f manufactnre were mentioned, and commented upon at length. A Paper " Upon the Permanent Way of the South-Eastern (Dover) Railway," by Mr. Pope; described principally the ' kind of sleepers used on that line ; they - are of a triangular form, four being cut out of a piece of square or who'e timber centaining,about 10 cubic feet. • The upper, side'is paned in twe places, so that the chairs - shall be perfectly bedded. They are fastened down by compressed oak trenails which expand after being driven into th e s l eeper an d exposed to moisture, and hold very fast, at the same time avoiding the possi bility of breaking the chair, which so frequently occurs in driving down the 'common iron spikes. The sleepers are found to possess great advantag es in permitti ng th e bal last to b e more eas i ly rammedbeneath them without lift ing, as in the case of the square, or the irregular-sided steeper. The rails are also secured by compressed wedges, the accuracy of the castings made by Ransome and May, of Ipswich, being so great, that the wedges all fit any chair indiscriminately. Nine miles of single line and two miles of double line, permanent way, are laid on this system. The portion first laid at Bow Beach cutting has had 7( , ,000 ions of ballast running over it by a locomotive and ordinary waggons without springs, and has not yet required the least re- , pair or packing, although the weather has been very unfavour able. Great advalitage is felt from the regularity of the inch nation of the upper surface of the rail, which is provided for in the chair, instead of relying upon the common rail layers giving it in foundation fir the chair in the usual manner. Litt eor no oscillating motion is felt in consequence of this arrangement, as the inward inclination of the rail is made to accord perfectly with the conical shape of the wheel tire. The whole process appears to possess great .advantages over the ordinary rough and unscientific method of laying rails.. A very ingenious in strument wis exhibited: it is a short iron tube, bored within to the exact diameter of the auger to be used, and turned out side to fit the conical mouth of the hole in the casting for re ceiving the trenail ; one and rests horizontally upon the sleeper;' and the other extremity bring inserted into the hole in the chair, it Mimi an unerring guide for the auger of the workman, and the trenail is subsequently driven exactly into the centre of the hole without its having any tendency to` twist or displace the cliair. A series of iron gauges restrain the rails frbm being forced either - outwards or inwards while being laid, and the work proceeds with great rapidi'y. The paper was illustrated by a drawing, and by specimens of the full-sized sleepers, with rails, chairs, &c., all laid with com pressed trenails and wedges. A very animated discussion ensued, in which a full account was given of the process patented by Messrs. Ransome'and May for casting the chairs, and •compressing the wedges and trenails—the mode of laying: the way—and it was generally acknowledged that Mr. Cubitt, the engineer of the Dover rail way, had succeeded in constructing a line which was more per fect than any other, whether viewed in a scientific point of vie,v or in point of economy, as these perfect castings and fastenings with regular shaped sleepers of rough timber, although appa rently costing more, were in reality more economical in labour and on account of the small amount of waste from broken added cha chairs, and which,nd other it parmtsiginht be which sa t f h e e ly re ag w r a u s e b d su when in full work wou ld requ i re l ess repair than was usually the case.

Few men were better calculated to fill the ancient and ho mumble office of the Town Clerkship of London than the lamented subject of the present notice, who, after some years of indisposition from dropsy, was carried off by that malady two days since. In the above capacity, as well as in the ordinary interchange of business, the natural urbanity and kind disposi tion of Mr. Woodthorpe, joined to the sagacity and penetrative spirit of his discourse, rendered him no less respected and ap preciated by his fellow-citizens than by his numerous friends elsewhere • and it is with p l easure we recur to the fact, that his particular friend, Mr. William Herbert, the erudite Libra rian to the Corporation, has recognized these kindly traits of his departed friend's character in a more lasting than epheme ral manner, by acknowledging, in his " History of the Twelve Great Livery Companies of London," the very great and re peated obligations he was under, and the constant attentions he received from Mr. Woodthorpe, to his capacity of Town Clerk The knowledge of the ancient deeds and documents in his keeping, as well as their bearings upon the historic periods to which they appertained, combined with his own antiquarian powers of research and discrimination, rendered the office so adequately and so efficiently performed, that his loss would be for some time severely experienced, were it not that it has every chance of being replaced by the ability and qualifieations of a successor like Mr. Pritchard, whom we rejoice to find an nounced as a candidate, and who dese. yes success. The office of the Town-Clerk or Common Clerk of the City, is to keep the original Charter, the books, rolls, and other re cords, wherein are registered the acts and proceedings of the City. By virtue of this his office, he may not improperly be called the City Register. His duty is also to attend the Lord Mayor and Aldermen at the Courts. The custody of the City Records, is an institution of very ancient date, and mentioned in a roll of the 33d of Edward L _+. v. 1304, as relating to the preservation of the " Rotuli gum aunt in custodia apud Turrim, London ;" the place where they were then kept being in a certain house afterwards called Wakefield's Tower, wherein that King, it is said, "caused to be laid up the rolls, and other memorable matters of the Chan cery ; as well from the time of his progenitors, heretofore Kings of England, as in his own, for the safe and secure custody of the said rolls and memorable things." The keepers of the City Records have usually, and from the earliest times, says Stowe, been such as have been skilled in the law, and studious in antiquity. They have been .always learned in the perusal of records and instruments, and withal persons of great faithfulness. Among the first superintendents of the City Records were —Walter de Reginald, Robert de Hoton, William de Kildesby, John Burton, temp. Rich. I!. ; and in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, William Fowyer, who digested and arranged these invaluable documents which, till then, were scattered and deranged. During the time of King Charles 11., William Brian, the Barrister of Lincoln's Inn, was appointed by that King, after his restoration, and his labours in this respect are highly spoken of by the chronicles of the day. William Petyt, of the Inner Temple, also laboured to great effect in digesting the mass of documentary records, and deducing them to order. After these we find in the Appendix to Maitland the follow ing given in chronological series : TOWN CLERKS. 1672 William Wagstaff, Esq. 1691 John Goodfellt w, Esq. 1700 Henry Ashurst, Esq. 1705 James Gibson, Esq. 1717 Randolph Stracey, Esq. 1724 Thomas Jackson, Esq. 1737 Miles Man, Esq. 1757 Sir James Hodges, Knight 1770 William Hay, Esq. The fees of the Chamberlain, Common Sergeant, and Town- Clerk, were anciently 10/. per annum. In the year 1758, when William Hay, the last keeper of the records, mentioned above, was in office, a salary of 6501. per annum for himself and clerks collectively was allowed ; and his deputy, Mr. Howcker, was paid at the rate of 1001. per annum. The salary and perquisites at the present day are well known. Among the very valuable documents which are under the guardianship of this City offi6r, and consequently of Mr. Woodthorpe till within there few days, are a number of very special books and rolls, and among them the original of the Book of Common Prayer, the foundation rolls of Abbeys, and other religious htiuses, Leagues of Foreign Princes, and Treaties with them, bonds, charters, deeds, enrolments, tenures, ex tents and surveys, Ecc., of England, too multitudinous to be t e h n e u t m i m er e a s te o d f .

This nseful`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 1842 contains some important new matter, with which the preceding volumes were not furnished—it has an im portant addition, " The official Directory," an alphabetical list of all persons holding situations under the Crown, of all persons holding situations in the East India House, in the Bank of England, and in the various law, city offices, and all other public offices. This addition is of itself enough to show the great pains taken by the Proprietors to render the book perfect. There is also some useful information given relative to the " Money Order-office," to which, if the public would pay more attention than they have hitherto done, less would b heard of the loss of money by the transmission of remittances by , post in the manner usually adopted. The number of stamps issued to the various newspapers published throughout England a n d ciales is given, together with the amount of stamp duties on advertisements paid by each paper respectively, and, indeed, a mass of information is brought together from which the best informed may derive some increase of knowledge, and to which the attention of the most ignorant and careless can hardly be called in vain. As far as the cursory examination can justify an opinion, and it is next to impossible to pay to such a work as this the minute attention it deserves, it appears' to be compiled with indefatigable industry, extreme vigilance, and an excellent judgment for arrangement. Morning Post, December 29, 1841. The charge, whether tine or fa' se, brought against the " An nuals," that, however pretty they may be, they are of little or no use, cannot in any degree apply to this singular publication. Within the single volume, neatly brought out by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar, is comprised all the information that can be useful to the fashionable, legal, or commercial communities. "It includes a " Court Directory," which alone contains about five-and-twenty thousand names ; a" Law Directory" of the most ample description, giving. among other details, no fewer than sixteen large pages of a " General List of Stamps ;" an " Official Directory," with an index of six thousand persons holding situations under the Crown, in the Bank, the East India House, and other public departments; the " Commercial Directory," perhal s the ful lest and most complete that has ever yet appeared, and a variety of miscellaneous matter which it is impossible to particularise here. In short, from our own observation, we can safely pro nounce this work a " sine qua non" to everybody who desires to become acquainted with the great metropolitan world of London. Morning Chronicle, Dec. 21, 1841. We have had occasion to commend the extraordinary diligence and accuracy shown in getting up the " Post-office Directory" for former years, and no less praise is due to the publication of the present volume. It contains the same immense mass of information elative to the metropolis, which renders the work one of the most astonishing monuments of the greatness of London that can well be conceived. This information appears classified, distributed, and arranged in a variety of ways so as to make the facility of reference nearly perfect. The corrections necessary from the changes of a year appear, as far as it is possible to judge, to have been carefully made, and it would be difficult to over-estimate the labour involved in such corrections. We recommend it to the favourable con sideration of the public ; and, in fact, it must be regarded as dispensable 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 tory6fficia —Citl and y—P Conveyancearliamentary— tso—riPes--°stea Ban ach a large work, and comp l ete i n itself, though D C o i r u e r e t the whole are requisite to a publication which professes to be a Directory for London. Morning Herald. Nov, 30, 1841. This is a most complete and extremely useful work. It em 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 cone tains a series of Directories, in which are enumerated all the Trades, Streets, Names, Official Designations, Parliamentary, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—In the debates which have taken place in the House of Commons on the new scale for barley, nothing has been said on the extent t• which the averages will be affected ,:by the large London houses supplying themselves with country made malt. For instance, several of the London houses have agents here, and in many other parts of Norfolk and Suffolk, who pur chase barley, and when malted, send it to London. If that barley was sent to London, instead of being converted into malt her.-, it would raise the average price from 2s. 6d. to 2s. ad. per quarter. The freight of a quarter of barley: from Yarmouth to London is about 25., and 3s. a score carriage from Norwich to Yarmouth, besides other expenses in LOndiwbe fore it can reach the brewer's store-room. If you take into consideration the immense quantity of malt sent to London, you will find that it will make a serious difference in the barley averages. —I remain, Sir, yours, A MALSTER. NLrwich, March 4, 1842. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FRUDI THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—HoW • complete was the refutation of •the _unfounded charges, of the baseless calumnies, launched by the Hon. Member for Knaresborough against those manufacturers, will be seen by the straightforward, crushing speech of Mr. Cobden in his own and their defence, and by the more polished, but not less effective, address of Mr. 'Villiers ; firmed, as his ample repudiation of the accusations was, by a document which he read to the House, attested ! by seventy-two of the leading: manufac - turing houses, Which, being members of the Anti- Corn-law League, had be en compre h en d e d i n t h e sweeping though unsupported denunciations of the lion. Member for Knaresborough. All this may be seen in the report of the proceedings. But the mere reading of the speeches will not convey an ade quate idea of the effeet they produced upon the House, and especially upon the person to whose indiscretion they were intended to furnish an antidote. The scene was truly - graphic. The bold indignant Wile and -bearing ofthe two honourable Members who had un dertaken to furnish the thfeatened refutation of the accusations—the internal writhings of the so lately furious assailant—evinced by the hands firmly clasped within each other, together with the twitchings of the. face and quivering of lips, as the loudly-cheered effectively4orcible periods of his c as ti g at ors f ell, scorpion -armed, upon hi s ears, scathing his now humbled and abaShed spirit —were observed by every one within the House. Those who had abetted the sufferer in his unfounded attacks upon a body of highly honourable and meritorious men ; now shrunk back abashed, as though they felt that, as par takers of the crime, they were sharers in the punish !tient: Those present in the' House Will not soon forget the moment when the Chancellor of the Exchequer rose to .order ; and thus stopped as -it fell—interposing a shield between the bolt and its intended object—a sen tence already launched,' the import of which was obvious. It would, if the speaker had been suffered to complete what -it was manifestly his intention to convey, have 'been yet most decidedly expressive, of what no one now doubts,-than even any of the already strongly-conveyed terms of reprehenSive contradic tion which had been previously applied to the gratui tous and injurious assertions of Mr. Ferrand ! The result will, we trust, be, that the Hon. Member for Knaresborough—without abating one jot of the fear less advocacy of what he doubtless believes to be the wisest and best policy for the country, Tor an uncom promising adhesion to which he is emulous of being conspicuous in Parliament—will Le henceforth in dtteed to :distinguish between reckless hardihood of assertion and . the unbending dignity of truth. In tithe even the Honourable Men&er may endeavour to argue rather- than to declaim ; and to seek, not the ephemeral plaudits of less • venturous parti. zans, but that solid and lasting satisfaction • which' is derived . alone from a mind 'conscious ofiits •pwn integrity, 'the possessor of.. which 'as, sternly' refuses to sell his voice .as he would scorn to prostitute his 'vote; • to' 'the 'baSe purposes of mere party advancement' Convinced that a bad cause can not be long sustained by such props, and that a good one, as it needs not, so it refuses to accept of such support. If Mr. Ferrand—howev unlikely it may Itiat:SO unpromising subject should ever attain to so desirable a proficiency- 7 4e taught these, the first principles .of real excellence in a public man, he - Will'uot regret thatthe lesson was enforced by the lash ; nor • that abasement was, in him, the precursor of moral elevation. STANDABI).—The case of the late Sir Robert. Kennedy affords another proof of the effect of the mi serable "economy" cry that has rung through the bountry for the last half century, and which' has rendered the rerviee of the public the worst ser vice -in which any man can engage. Here is the case o f a gent l eman who, . serv'ed ably' in an 'Office of great importance 'for thirty-ei g lit years, with ou t b e i ng a bl e to make' even a decent provision for his surviving fainily, although that family consisted- of only two daughters. We say nothing of the large sums of money that passed • through Sir Robert 'Kennedy's hands, because, in the merit of . - mere honesty, he i s h app il y not dis tinguished from tens of thousands, and there are pro bably many clerks in the Bank of England through whose hands larger sums of money have paSsed with equal safety; but, from the nature of Sir Robert's duties, the fate ofa:rmies, the successes ofa campaign, the honour of his country must have been frequently dependent Upon his activity and discretion, and the witness best qualified to speak to his services, the Duke of Wellington, bears honourable testimony to the manner in which he acquitted himself. Is it not then disgraceful that such a public benefactor should be so ill paid as to die a pauper ? There is another hardship arising from this wretched under-paying of the public servants. The paltry„pittance by which the Legislature pretends to relieve the wants of . meritorious persons generally is eaten up in discharging the debt of the State to its servants and their families. We shall not be Sll9 pected of grudging the poor 1001. a year allowed to Sir Robert Kennedy's daughters. We sincerely lament that it has not been multiplied at least five fold, but we must contend that it is unjust to quarter these ladies upon the Pension List. Their claim is a claim of debt—equitably as much a claim of debt as Lord Cottenham's claim for his pension ; and the State ought not to pay its debts out of what it pre tends to give to merit and misfortune. COURIER.—That the effective and telling speech of the Member for Knaresborough should have stung to the quick blatant Anti-Corn-law agitators—that the vigorous manner in which he not only re pelled the accusations hurled at the landed pro- . prietary of England, but carried the war into the heart of the enemy's camp, demolishing their outposts, - and laying bare their sore points, should have carried confusion and dismay into their ranks, is what, a priori, might have been • anticipated, and what last night's proceedings in the House of Commons fully evince. Let it not be supposed that we are friendly towards railing accusations or sweeping charges against any class of the community ; we always look upon such with suspicion, as being either false in spirit or exaggerated in fact. Good, vht aous, and high-minded men are found in every rank- and calling of life, and it is therefore with paln we have observed the un scrupulous and reckless mmner in which the pseudo advocates of one great interest hazard criminatory charges with those of another. 'Yet of all men, those least entitled to complain of the unfairness of making sweeping imputations against any portion of the community, are the Members of the Anti-Corn Law League; whose WhOle life—the object of whose whole existence.has been to fling every kind of calumnious - imputation at what they call the landed interest and, its supporters. It was all very fair to assail the gentry of England with every epithet which an imag.nation fruitful in foul in vectives could supply—it was all .very fair for the members and lecturers - of the League to exhaust their vocabularies of abuse against the advocates of protection —to denounce them as plunderers, and describe them as monsters of selfishness —all this, we repeat, was considered perfectly fair ; but when an Honourable Member, stung by these undeserved reproaches, proceeds to retort upon their authors—when he proceeds to unmask the knavery of the ‘.‘ truck system," or drag to light the causes of the decline of manufacturing prosperity, then, forsooth, these tender-hearted creatures are shocked at the wickedness—unparliamentariness, of such a course ; they tremble—not for their own characters—oh, no; but for the dignity.'of the House! 'We, of course, have no means of ascertain . ing what was the precise form of words in which Mr. Ferrand had clothed his charges of knay.er,y and cruelty .against the members of the tncxl ;:f 1 th to e unquestionably, we thi n k, no one unde urge su c h charges against all the members body o rs 'ng English League, muc h l ess aga in s t the great manufacturers.
