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, with the names alphabetically arranged, of all civil officers under Go vernment, in the Bank of England, East India House, and all other public establishments. .1 Street Directory, which in clus!es gentry as well as traders ; and subjoined to this, arc 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 ;or the Court ; the Par liament, with the most recent addresses of the Members of both (louses; the Law, with a list of all officers from the Lord Chancellor down to the usher of the most inferior Court : Of whom may be had, i.

The Court Directory includes the names of twenty-five thousand persons not engaged in trade, and takes a wider range than any other work of the kind. The information respecting the Post-office will be found eminently useful to persons of every description ; and among ether additions made to it for this year is one of great importance, shswing the time at which a 1 tter from London should be delivered at any place hi England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-box for London, closes in each plaice. The facilities afforded by the Postmastet-Grneral give the compilers advantages which could not otherwise be obtained The information is furnished from the PoSt-offiee gratuitously, it is of the latest possible date, and has been all collected or confirmed within the last two months. We have had little time yet to test its accuracy, but have no doubt that it fully maintains, in that respect, the high character of that published fur the year 1841 The wort is beautifully printed, sold at a moderate price, and will be !mind of great service to persons in every rank of life Weekly Dispatch, Nov. 28, 1841.

These is a distinct alphabetical li t of the names, in number, of all civil officers under Government, in the Bank of England, East India House, and all other public establishments; an alphabetical list of streets in the metropolis and its vicinity, with the inhabit ants according to their numerical order in each street; the only Street Directory yet published which includes gentry as well as traders. There is also a list of all officers, from die 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, Ha' ri,ters, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers, Proctors, Attorneys, Notaries, &c. TLe 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 die 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 which grants 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, arid 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 calculatinr , in ,all cases the " return of post." independent of all this information, we have copious accounts of all conveyances by railways,' stage-coaches, waggons, carts, vans, vessels, barges and boats ;• with complete accounts of all the bankers, joint-stock-banks, and banking establishments' of the United Kingdom ; the names of the Directors and officers of the various Assurance' 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, lines, 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 took helps him out of this difficulty by giving the names of the inhabitants of each house of No. 1 upwards. sit _E;;:,T INDIAN MAILS.—The Royal' 3lai . Steam Packet Company's Ship CLYDE, Lieutenant 'WOODRUFF, R.N., Commander, is appointed to take out tin Mai!s of the Ist of June. The Clyde will leave Southampton on that day, at One, v. at., and will proceed direct to Falmouth. where she will receive the Mails on the 3d of June, and depart immediately on her voyage for Barbadces, calling to land and embark Passengers at Corunna and Madeira. The line of communication for both mails and pasiengers extends to all ports of the British and Foreign West Indies, Havanna'', Gult of Mexico, &c., and is connected with the Company's steamers. which run twice every month, forwards and backwards, be t vieen Havannah, by Nassau, to Savannah, Charleston, Ncw York, and Halifax respectively, and also includes the coast o' South America and isthmus of Panama. All the Company's ,packets carry a surgeon approved by Government. Each pas senger has a separate cabin ; bedding and linen are provided, and the passage-money and steward's fee cover every expense, except wines, spirits, &c., which are to be paid for. Berths may be secured at the Company's Offices, 55, Moor gate-street, London. N.B. All letters conveyed by these packets must pass through the Post-office. Sunday Times, December 5;1841. This useful work is just published ; it is, in short, a Corn mercial,Trades, Law, Court, Parliamentary,City,Postage,Con4 vey ance, Banking, and an . Official Directory. It contains an almanack, list of stamp duties, Post-office rules, and, in fact; a body of intelligence top great for detail. Respecting the accuracy of such a work, it is, of course, impossible to speak; the roost inveterate Alagliabechi that ever gulped quartos, or hOlted folios, would scarcely undertake the peAnsal 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 irorri 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 bead 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 lull names and positions of all persons holding public situations under Government, the East India Company, the Bank, &c. " T he 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 beyond which our books of reference have not before passed : here we have a register of all, whether dwelling in Barns bury Park, Basinghall - street. or Belgrave-square, in King'S road, Chesea, or in Kingsland ; and one of the great advan tages peculiar .to this publication is, that all inhabitants 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 as. Governor.-General of India, and of his sue eessor at the India Board, Lord Fitzgerald. The " Postage Directory" furnishes much original and highly valuable in formation in reference to Money Orders; and to the preciie 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 ' might. be chosen. The work surely merits a name that would convey a definite idea of in formation so vast and varied, uniting as it does, in one 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, Postage, Conveyance, 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.

CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTAGE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex clusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist upon the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver under the guises of " Albata Plate," " Berlin Silver," &c• &c., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material so that acids do not afiect it ; it is now so well known • and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, can only be had at our warehouses. It is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it can only he told by reference to the stamp. Fiddle Threaded King's Pattern.

Law Directory, and complete Lists of Stamps. Court Directory, including thou. sands of names not to be found in any other work. City Di rectory. Postage Directory. Conveyance Directory. Bank ing Directory, &c. &c. The following Reviews of the Complete Directory have already appeared : Times, December 3, 1841. This useful matter-ol`-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, hanker, and tradesman in the country. It is, independently of its utility, by which it is rendered indis. pensable to every counting-house anti shop, a curious star 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 ureter the Crown, of all persona hording 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 be 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 and %: ales is given, together with the amount of stamp duties on advertif.coients paid by each paper respectively. and, indeed, a mass of itifortmd Mil is brought together from which the best informed may derive sonic 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 jcdgment for arrangement. Morning Post, December 29, 1841. The charge, whether hue 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 singkvolume, neatly brought out by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell-court, e mp le - 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. s i tuations under the Crown, in the Batik, the East India House, and other public departments ; the " Commercial Directory," perhat 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 duo to the publication of the present volume. It contains the same immense mass of information ielative to the metropolis, which renders the work one of the most astonishing monuments of the greatness of Loudon 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 fir 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 Directory—City—Parliamentary — Courts —Postage—Banking—and Official and Conveyance Directories —each a large work, and complete in itself, though the whole are requisite to a publication which professes to be a Director) 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.

CHING'S WORM-DESTROYING LOZEN GES have for fifty years held a distinguished reputation, and are still and increasingly patronised by the highest names in rank, respectability and science, from a personal knowledge of their utility in their own families It is a fact estab islical by the annual Bills of Mortalitv,that one half of the Chit,. ten bin are cut off before at taining Seven Years of Age, and the fruitful source of this mortality is found to exist in that ioul state of the Stomach and Bo.rets which produces the generation of Worms. As the sate restorer of Infan in this critical state, many fond and motion. mothers, w icce ssfully had recourse to th es e Lozenges, can grate. ty r e H e alth, have fully testify to their excellence. As an opening Medicine ia Spring and Summer, for Adults as well as for Children, and for foulness of the Stomach and Bowels, and Convulsions, although Worms may not exist, it is allowed to be su perior to every other. Ching's Worm Lozenges are peculiarly adapted and recommended for exp^rtation to the East and West. Indies and Warns Climates generally, as their virtue remains unimpait ed by time.

IVe understand that a new stake of considerable interest is made for next year, and that the most important oventg will be run so as to place the two days on a par ; and that the progress of the subscriptions to the Gorhatnbury and other stakes is highly favourable.

The present edition is superior in many re spects, to any of its predecessors . On its first appearance, it was a neat and correct rocket 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, arid become, from the variety, copiousness, and accuracy ii,f its information, an indispensable requisite to every count.. ing-house and shop in the metropolis and its suburbs. It would be quite impossible, in a brief notice, to give anything Trades' reference like an adequate idea of the contents of a closely-printed royal octavo volume, running to upwards of 1,500 pages. It can only be -justly described' as a series of Directories, each p t i o rec tl t i o e ry ‘ , • ,, Co a m nd mi. ) - u one complete in itself, and each of peculiar value to every per son, is the residence !of engaged in business.

Again we have to bestow our praise on the completeness and cheapness of the multifarious informatio n comprised i n the Post office London Directory," which comprehends within one moderately-sized volume, of clear and easy reference, a Commercial, Trades', Law, Court, and Parliamentary Direc tory. It is at once the fullest volume of the kimi, 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, 1841. This extensive work still continues to grow. Besides 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 Governm ent and other public offices, under which the names and employments of the persons. are arranged • the other presents an alphabetical list of person holding Offices under the Crown, in the East India House Bank of England, &c.

On Friday last, the third lecture oz Chemistry ap plied to cultivation, was given by Mr. Edward Solly, jun., at the Society's Rooms, in Regent-street, which was well attended. We observed amongst the audi ence Sir John Sebright and family, Sir P. Egerton and Lady, Lady Caroline Poulett, the Earls of 11- &ester and Sandwich, Lord Prudhoe, Sir Charles Lemon, Sir 0. Moseley, Sir J. South, Hon. Mr. Ver non Harcourt, &c. &c. We extract the following from the Gardeners Chronicle on the subject :-- • " Mr. Solly's third lecture was delivered to-day. He commenced by an account of the nature and pro perties of nitrogen, showing that it exists in the air, of which it constitutes about four-fifths; and that, being possessed of properties in all respects the re verse of oxygen, and distinguished by the absence of any marked characters, it appeared that its principal office is to dilute the oxygen of the air, and diminish the too powerful effects which it would produce in an undiluted state. In the air, however, oxygen and ni trogen are only mixed : when combined they form nitric acid ; and, on the other hand, when nitrogen and hydrogen are combined, they form ammonia : thus affording two excellent illustrations of the cu rious results of chemical combination, and the very great difference existing between compounds and their elements. Having thus described the four great elements of Plants, or those compounds of oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, in different proportions, which, as woody fibre, gum, sugar, starch, gluten, &c., constitute vegetable matter ; the properties, na ture, and different forms of these substances was described, and the curious metamorphoses which they undergo, and the transformations which they suffer, when acted on by acids and alkalies, was explained. Mr. Solly concluded by saying that, having gone through th►e introductory part of the subject, he should next take up the groat question of the food of plants, which would occupy the next lecture." LONDON ELECTRICAL SOCIETY. TuEsruy, mAy 17.—At this Meeting were read-Ist. Extracts of notes from Mr. Weeks, wherein it was stated that, when lie commenced the experiments, which have shown the development of insects, he made other and similar arrangements, through which he did not allow the voltaic current to pass, and in these cases no insects are to be found. Mr. W alker, the Secretary, then read a long and carefully written paper "On Lightning Con ductors." He took for his subject, or rather, he based his subject upon, the damage done to the steeple of Brixton Church, by the thunder-storm of Sunday, April 24 ; and was induced to survey the steeple, front having just previonsly heard Dr. Faraday's lecture on the subject. The glaring error of placing discontinuous conductors 'at such elevation -as church-steeples pre sent was but too clearly evinced in this case. An insu lated cross overmounting the steeple, and an iron pipe, also insulated, gave the flash the opportunity of passing through twenty, And then ten feet of air. The conse quent explosions were attended with serious damage. The ," lateral discharge" was much dwelt upon by the author. It is a subject of great difficulty among even men of science. The mass of mankind do not under stand it at all, and think when they have erected a capacious conductor, they' have done all that is needed. The erroneousness of this position was made manifest, first, by referring to the experiments of the, Royal Institution ; and then by explaining what oc curred at Brixton, where the fluid left one conductor for another, for no other reason than that it obtained by this means a wider path. And it was shown that this property of electricity, desiring a wider path as well as a direct one, renders a badly Awed lightning rod an enemy, and not a friend. To prevent the " lateral discharge" wherever the probability occurs, it was recommended to convert it into a certainty ;. that is, whenever it seemed possible that electricity might pass from conductor to conductor, it should be compelled to pass, not indeed through the air, to develope light and heat. but through a good metallic connexion, by which it could pass safely. 'This communication was drawn up with a considerable degree of care, and was illustrated by drawings of the church, &c. We must refer our readers to the next number of the Proceedings of the Society for th e p a p e r in full, a n d meanw hile ould recommend architects to consult electricians on this important matter. We almost omitted to mention that Mr. Walker alluded to the immense value of trees as conductors, and recommended their being planted wherever it was, possible. Sonic notices on "Electrotype Manipulation" and Mr. Week's journal were then read. We learn from Arras that the Paris diligence on that road was overturned on the nth inst., but for tunately without doing serious injury to any one. Among the passengers was a lady who was in one of the waggons of the Versailles railroad most in danger, but who made her escape by forcing her . way out. QUEEN'S VISIT TO EPSOM RACES.

A good many incorrect statements in reference to the treatment and the conduct of this miserable man since his conviction, having been made public, it may be necessary to state, from an authentic source, what are the real facts. Since the alteration and the ameliorations that have taken place in the Criminal law, the treatment of criminals, both before and after conviction, has also been very materially modified. Formerly upon a con viction for murder the culprit was taken to a cell appro priated for the purpose, and kept in this cell almost in darkness, and suffering many other privations, until the time came for him to ascend the scaffold. At the present . time, however, persons charged with murder are taken to a room in the chapel yard, where they remain until their trial, and if convicted they again return to the same cell, and remain there in the charge of different wardsmen until the period of execution. The first occa .sion on which this cell was appropriated in the way above 'described, was in the case of Greenacre, and since then it has been successively occupied by Courioisier, Lees, and Blakesley. But for the provisions of the Central Criminal Court Act, many difficulties would have been thrown in the way of the prosecution, by reason of the different jurisdictions that were mixed, up in the case. The offence in the first instance was committed in the county of Surrey ; the prisoner was subse quently apprehended in Kent, examined before a .Justice of that county, and then brought into Middle sex for examination, and finally committed from that county ; and but for the provisions above referred to, it would have been difficult to have framed the case, to have freed it from technical objections. It rests also with the Judges at the Central Criminal Court to say, whether a convict shall be executed in the county where the alleged offence is committed, or in Middlesex ; and as Lord Denman, in passing sentence, merely mentioned " a place of execution," the convict will be executed at the Old. Bailey, and not at llorsemonger-lane. After sentence, the Sheriffs now have it in their discretion, not, however, exceeding a period of twenty-one days, to name the day when the execution shall take place, and it is understood they have ordered the sentence to be carried into effect on Monday next. Since his condemnation, .G . Ood has never been left un attended either night or day. For the first two orthiee days, 'he persisted in the truth of the extraordinary' statements made by him after the trial, but it is under- • stood that he has recently made some further disclosures, modifying to a very considerable extent his former state ment ; but he still persists in asserting that this unhappy woman came by her death by her own hand, and not by any violence that was offered to her by another. On his being asked to state the address of - the man who sold matches, and who according to his statement; took such an active part in the awful business, he says that all he knows about hint is that he lives somewhere in Brompton. It will be re membered that Greenacre told a story. similar, in many respects, to this statement of Good's as to the mode in which his victim came by her death, and that he subse quently gave several different versions of the story, and that only a few hours before his execution he gave another account of the alleged mode of death. It is expected, however, that Good will yet declare what the truth of the case really is, and it is said that he has made an i n timation to that effect tp the Chaplain, and also to Mr. Cope, the Governor of Newgate. It was at the suggestion of the Chief Justice that the counsel for the prosecution forbore to examine the pri soner's son as a witness against him. All that he would have been able to depose to, was the fact that the blue bonnet belonged to the deceased, and that it was taken by the prisoner to Susannah Butcher's, and as this was clearly proved by other testimony, it was thought that the painful spectac!e of a child being produced as witness against its parent upon a trial of life and death, might be spared. Out of the twenty-seven bodies which remained exposed in the cemetery of Mont Parnasse on Friday, five were recognised betbre it was closed for the night They were M, Paul de Driouville, of the rue Tronchet, who was discovered by his brother, General Afontgarde; M, Lepontois, of Lorient ; M. Lepontois, of the rue St. Andre des Arts ; M. Auguste Lemaric, jun., of the Place Belle Chasse ; and a young woman, named Edzer, of the rue de hi Vielle Draperie. There have been tw•o more deaths at the Hospitals—viz., a Mme. Vaillant, of the rue de Bretagne, and M. Serus, who was registrar of the Justice of the Peace at Toulon. 0-t di FLOUR IN PARTS AND — LON DON COMPARED.- • ' WITE`:VT.---rill present price of wheat of the first quality in Paris, _according to the latest accounts re ceived "from the " Halle," or Corn Exchange of that city, is •Y 8 francs for. the hectolitre and a half, which at the present course of exchange in Paris'on London,' for bills at one month's data of 25f. 40c.

A disturbance of a rather serious and *Somewhat extraordinary character, took place at the Roman Catholic Chapel, Broad-green, near Croydon, on Sunday morning last. It appears that about eleven o'clock, after prayers had been read, and while the priest, the Rev. Mr. O'Moore, was at the altar, a person who keeps a beer-shop in the neighbourhood, went up to Mr. O'Moore and demanded the payment, of his score for beer sup plied to him. The Reverend Gentleman said that was not a proper time or place to make such a. demand, and requested the party to desist, but instead of doing so, two or three persons commenced a violent attack upon him, struck him in the face, tore his robes, and otherwise maltreated him, and a regular tight and disturbance took place in the chapel. A messenger was despatched to Croydon for the assistance of the police, and in a short time some constables of the P division arrived, and they took into custody the parties charged with creating the disturbance and tile assault upon the priest, and they were taken to the police-station at Croydon. On Mon• day morning they were examined upon the charge be6we Messrs. Sutherland anti Currie, at the Town-hall, when. Mr. Drummond appeared on behalf of Mr. o'3loore,and Mr. R. Russell attended for the defendants ; and after a full inquiry, the Magistrates said they thought the ease was not of that character to entitle thew to deal with i% summarily ; and they directed the defendants to ontor into recognizanees to answer any charge that may be preferred agaimit them at the Sessions.
