' WZDNESDAY, MARCH 2.—Dr. Candlish, of t Wednes day at t%: I Meeting of , the Commission of th• e General Assembly, T i i,; . lnburgh, recounted verbally the ,proce e d. higs th regard to Sunday travell mg, a n d , of his party It. stated, that he thought * . the Commission ought to reap point the Committee, and au,horize them to report to next 'General Assembly, and that the 4,.. ssembly in returns should instruct them to prepare and issub a pastoral ,address 1 L•ex.c their 4, Sabbath to the people of Scotland, warning them .. a desecration ; and that the Committee shorn testimony of approbation to the shareholderg of those • ,- n•ping other railways 'who had refused to run iitain on thea the Sunday, viz, the D un d ee an d A r b r o a th Ititilwk' , Glasgow and Ayr R a il wa y, an d the Glasgow ."'",, Greenock Railway. Dr. Candlish added, that for ti, means of stopping this Sabbath desecration, he had 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 combir;ng 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 be competent for the Civil Magistrates to punish in their way, it is not competent for private individuals tc,s do it. Dr. Candlish added, "I saw it stated in a newspaper &few days ago that we were liable to a prosecution under Lice 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 are 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 1 ever thought them.—(Hear, hear.) A memorial on the subject of Sabbath Observance _ _ the solicitor of Derby, was proved by Mr. Moss himsel on his examination in Court as a witness for the defence I have the honour to be, Si r , your most obedient and faithful servant, ALEXANDER RAINY. 14, Regent-street, Feb. 26. 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 , he 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. A Street Directory, which in cludes gentry as well as traders; and subjoined t o t hi s , are two others, giving the rames at full length, of sixty thousand per. oris 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 ler the Court; the Par !lenient., with the most, recent addresses of the Members of both Houses; the Law, with a list of all officers from the Lord Chancellor down to the usher of the most inferior Court : and the City of London, with the names and addresses of all CRY Officers, Companies L &e. 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 jt for this year is one of great importance, shaving the time at which a 1 ttor 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. T he-facilities afforded by the Postmaster-General give the compilers advantages which could not otherwise be obtained The information is furnished from the Post-office gratuitously, it is of the latest possible date, and has been all collected or confirmed within the last two months. We have had little time yet to test its accuracy, but have no doubt that it fully maintains, in that respect, the high character of that published for the year 1841 The work is beautifully printed, sold at a moderate price, and will be 'ound cf great service to persons in every rank of life. 'OOD PAVING OF OXFORD. STREET, The Vestry of St. Marylebone was attended very nu inerously 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. either con fi rmed or the contrary. Joseph's m o ti on for extending the wood paving in Oxford- s t reet f rom Wells -street to Vere-street, which been carried on l ast Saturday, and which was to be Mr.ZARBERT opposed the confir ma ti on o f t h e motion, then-.,either that the W oo d P av i ng Company, when I the Wood pa vement they had executed in Oxford-streetfailing, 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 indicate 4i inches in eighteen months. Several other members opposed the motion, but none of the supporters of the motion spoke. It was evident that they felt secure of a majority on a division, Ind 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 Wells-street to Vere.street." A division was called for, when there appeared— For confirming the motion . Against it 24 Majority. It was then moved and carried that advertisements should b. ,put forth, stating that the Vestry would receive tenders for :he proposed work on that day month. MR. HENRY RUSSELL (from AMERICA).

PUBLICATIONS • 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 Ii t of the names, in number, of all civil officers under Government, i n th e B ati k o f England, East India House, and all other puhlic establishmen's ; 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 Lose' Chan cellor down to the Usher of the most inferior Court • Police Courts, with their officers and jurisdictions ; alphabeti ca l lists of Queen's Serjeants, Queen's Counsel, Serjeants at law, B cnc h ers, 13a. ri • tern, Spe c i a l Pleaders, Conveyancers, Proctors, Attorneys, Notaries, &c. Tr.e 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 di tinguishing those which grant and pay money-orders, land, refers ing to the money-order office nearest to those which do not ; and an alphabetical list of the s t ree t s o f L on d on , w i t h a reference f rom 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, 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 ats7 any place in England or Wales, all the time at which tai letter-box for London closes in each place ; thus affording the oportunity o f calculating in all cases the "retu rn o f post.'' independent of all this information, we have copious accounts of all conveyances by railways, stage-coaches, waggons, casts, vans, vessels, barges t nd 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 no'ing 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 ho 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 Corn mercial,Trades, Law, Court, Parliamentary,City, Postage,Con vejance, Banking, and an Official Directory. It contains an almanack, list of stamp duties, Post-effice rules, and, in fact, a body of intelligence too great for detail. Respecting the accuracy of such a work, it is, of course, impossible to speak; the most inveterate Magliabechi that ever gulped quartos, or bolted folios, would scarcely undertake the perusal of a Direc tory. It is not saying too much to declare that tire Post-office Directory is a work unexampled even in this country. To ap proximate closely to the communication of the names, resi dences, and trades of the inbabitaus of London, a lark from which a literary Hercules might flinch. Railway Magazine, December 4, IS4I. Judging from the great superiority of the last edition of this' work over its competitors, we did not anticipate the improve ments which hive 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 intuitions under Government, the East India Company, the Bank, &e. The scope of that important brancls, the " Street Directory," has been very considerably extended ; and thou sands are new included, who reside without the narrow limits beyond which our books of. refet cote have not before passed : here we have a register of all, whether dwelling in Barns bury Park, Besinghallsztrect. or Belgrave-square, in King's road, Che'sea, or in Kingsland ; and one of tire great advan tages peculiar to this publication is, that all inhabitants arc inserted in their •numericsl 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 Ocomplete 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 suc cessor at the India Board, Lord Fitzgerald. The "Postage Directory" furnishes much original and highly valuable in f. irmation in reference to Motley 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 equally a model of compilation and of typography. We cannot but think that a title more appropriate than merely it Post-office London Directory' migh be chosen. 'The work surely merits a name that would convey a definite idea of in fermailii so vast and varied, uniting as it does, in ono volume, Directory, Court Guide, and Court Kalendar, and superseding the whole class of ,imilar publicati ons . 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 onveyer ce, 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. y ri i s a t N i s o v g e o m o b d e r to 2 l 7 e , t 144 1 1 1 . The old proverb says alone ; but we see no possible reason why well should be left to stand still, so long as better is clearly attainable; and such appears to be the opinion of the enterprising proprietors of the " Post-office Lon don Directory." The present edition is superior in many re spects, to any of its predecessors. On its first appearance, it was a neat and correct 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, and become, from the variety, copiousness, and accuracy of its information, an indispensable requisite to every count ing-house and shop in the metropolis and its suburbs. It would be quite impossible, in a brief notice, to give anything like an adequate idea of the contents of a closely-printed royal octavo volume, running to upwards of 1,500 pages. It can,only be justly described as a series of Directories, each one complete in itself, and each of peculiar value to every per son engaged in business. For instance, is the residence of anv particular person required, a reference to the " Commer cial" or " Court Directory" will at once give the desired in formation. If a complete list of all persons engaged in any one of the various professions or trades exercised in the me tropolis is sought, turn to the "Trades' pirectory," 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 anatomises ; the most correct. as wel as the most useful, record of its industry, its vastness, and its intelligence ; and, if we keep in mind the enterprise neces sary for the conception of such a work, the immense care re quired in its preparation, the enormous capital required to produce it, and, considering its bulk and variety, the sur prisingly low price at which it is issued, we must pronounce it, rrotwithstanding the typographical wonders daily issued front Press, the most surprising volume to which the first city in the world has yet given birth. John Bull, November 27, 1841. • 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, 'Trades', 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, 1841. This extensive work still continues to grow. Besides a revi sion and extensionof 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 of the persons are arranged ; the other presents an alphabetical list o f persons holding offices under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank of England, &c.

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 to them specially and openly, that they will subject them selves to Church discipline if they are guilty of taking employment 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, W.S., said he had a suggestion to offer. He thought that if individual members were to use their influence 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 Scotehmen, 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 runir;ng the trains. He thought it right that the truth should be known. INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGI NEERS.

Wilkinson's paper. The early specimens of copper sheets were found to have been more durable than those of re cent manufacture : the former contained an alloy of 1-300th part of zinc. Muntz'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. Taylor had been consulted by the Admiralty upon the difference of durability of metal sheathing. They had recommended assaying, but bad not been able to detect any difference 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 process of 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 whole timber containing about 10 cubic feet. The upper side is planed in two places, so that the chairs shall be perfectly bedded. They are fastened down by compressed oak trenails, which expand after being driven i n t o th e s l eeper and 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 advantages in permitting the bal last to be more easily rammed beneath them without lift ing, as in the case of the square, or the irregular-sided sleeper. The ;mils are also secured by compressed wedges, the accuracy of the ca s ti ngs ma d e b y R ansome and May, of Ipswich, being so great, that tho 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 70,000 tons 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 advantage is felt from the regularity of the incli 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 fur the chair in the usual manner. Litt'e or 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 was 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 end rests horizontally upon the sleeper, and the other extremity being inserted into the hole in the chair, it forms 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 chair. A series of iron gauges restrain the rails from being forced either outwards or inwards while being laid, and the work proceeds with great rapidity. The piper was illustrated bra drawing, and by specimens of the full-sized sleepers, witifrails, chairs, &c., all laid with corn pre-sod 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 acknoss lcdged 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 view or in point of economy, as these perfect castings and fastenings with re;:ular 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 chairs, and other parts in which there was usually much waste; added to which, it might be safely argued that the railway when in full work would require less repair than was usually the case NE SOVEREIGN ItEIVA RD.—L OST, at Hyde -park Corner, on SATURDAY, February 26, between 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a GOLD CHAIN BRACELET with LOCKET, on which was the following inscription Rose to Ada, Nov. 2,1839."

On Saturday morn i ng , about o'clock, a fire, DESTRIA.ITIVE FIRES. 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. I'yer's daughter. From 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 mises, 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 nhom 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 miraculous escape. They, it ap pears, slept in a bed-room over the kitchen, which was wholly detached from the dwelling, and by the time the fire was discovered the staircase had caught, thereby cutting off all escape, and they would have inevitably relished had not Mr. Tyer got t o the i r assistance and got them across some planks placed into the bed-room .wind.)w from the dwelling. Within ten minutes after the fl tines had reached to the front premises, Nos. 33 and 31, and quickly extended throughout the buildings, consuming the different floors with extraordinary ra pidity. The first engines that arrived were from the fire-establishment station in Southwark- bridge-road, with a party o f' brigademen und er t h e command of Mr. Henderson, the foreman of- the whole of the brigade force quartered on the Surrey side of the Thames, who caused them to be directly put into Operation. All that y • remains of the abov e premises, which were ver exten sive, are the walls, an d a portion of the first-floor flooring. The whole of the furniture, stock, &c., that were on the premises, i s destroyed. The houses ad jacent, namely, 32 and 35, the former occupied by Mr. Clark, carpenter, and th e l atter 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 fireme n 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. M r. 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 Kennington 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, Has destroyed. It seems that the family were about sitting down to dinner, when screams were hard 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 suffoca•ed them. In the course of a few minutes after the alarm was given, Mr. Superintendent Grinsell, of the L division of police, arrived with a posse of men, and by the time the engines were 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 possible got into play, After cooling th e l ower part, t h ey forced their wa3r to the staircase of the burning building, and strove their utmost to save the basement story, but this was found utterly i m p rac ti ca bl e, and shortly afterwards the roof and floors fell in, and the destruction of the pre. inises became complete. By this time, Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent of the force, had arrived with seven to various stati ons , t h e greater ate p" r o pa e r i t .fu o l f eng lvt e l s i b w e e b ;e ng b i r n o g ught to bear on the fire. Mr. Nisbett's dwelling being ill ruins, the exertions of the firemen were directed to the house adjoining, belong ing to Mr. Bermuda, the engineer, whose factory near Southwark-bridge, it will be recollected, was burned down about 18 months since. The roof had canght, and for some' time there was every appearance of its -sharing a similar fate to that belonging to Mr..Nisbett ; but after much exertion the flames were prevented from de svaletrsthme abkainsegrnaent of' the de scending further than the third . _flroln which was destroyed, as well as the roof.

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 purpose, as the means of correcting any erroneous impression it may occasion. The facts were these : Mr. George Davies, of Tavistoek-square, a gentle man well 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, an d 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 Macs y Gws, that a reasonable portion of mill tional expenses should be allowed ; but it was under stood-that as previous offers had been made for those two farms, no commission on them should attach if the 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 1839. Subsequent to the auction, applications were made to me, and much correspondence passed in negotiations, for the main estate, and-for detached portionz, and of which circumstances Mr. Davies, Mr. Bainbrigge, and Mr. Moss, were cognizant. Ere that correspondence terminated (at about Fe bruary or March, 1838), a gentleman of the name of Sillito offered Mr. Bainbrigge 35,0001. for the Hall of the Brand estate (the sixteen lots in one), in clusive of the timber, supposed to be worth about 1,0001., the estimate formed by me, be it observed, as a full price for this estate, after my inspection of it, being 36,0001., 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. Moss ; 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 35,00C1. From this I cou'd 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 guide for his decision, and as a ground for removing.any future liability from himself and Mr. Davies as trustees. i n E d ic e l) ; .i--t: p,Srcaicezel i mPortance recommendsADvEßT i i s t E se m l p to NT. al --- 1 U cl T ass T s T o Y f utility, and by the numerous advantages and benefits which it and the benefits of scientific research and disccvery O m r an S k c i continually brings to light.. To expatiate on the would be superfluous; and it will be sufficient to select from the mass of facts a single illustration to prove th e advantages which its inv e sti ga ti on con fer on mankin d . We would there.. fore select the " Odonto or Pearl Dentifrice," prepared by Messrs.

The Courrier de la Gironde asserts that, about 18 months ago, a young man in eating . an apple got one of the piepins fixed in a decayed tooth, which occasioned him great Pam, and was totally unable to be extracted, notwithstanding the use of all manner of toothpicks. At length the pippin, by dint of pushing, w as d r i v en down below the tooth into the gum and no mo r e p a i n w a s f e lt . Six weeks ago, h owever, a swelling was perceived in the gum, and ultimately an ab scess was formed; the niedical men examined it, and found that the pippin had begun to germinate ! o The young man," adds the Courtier, " is in the habit of k seeing cotton wool in his teeth, and this is supposed to have hastened the vegetation! This remarkable phenomenon is still in his mouth !" A letter from Naples states that a pheaomenon similar to what has been observed in Sweden, has taken place on the coast of Italy. It appears from the report of M. Nic colini, and other Neapolitan geologists, that the level of the sea fell gradually, from 1823 to 1838, 112 millimetres, or be tween four and five inches English. 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, for sale by private con tract ; when Mr. Sillito, seeing the advertisement, call e d and told me that he had bought the property of Mr. Bain brigge nbout a month before. The sum demanded by me, in the account delivered part:po t e t e .ll n i t. r. o S n il 3 l 6 i t , o' oo s o c z o ; m s p o le g ting uine lis a i sfiv purchase, tio,,r l n Ts one 3,sof llalf my self and assistant, and for drawing the particulars and putting up the fifteen lots ; besides 1511. 6s. forexpenses, which were proved in Court to have been advanced out of pocket, making together 383/. 16s. Under the ad vice of Mr. Moss, the trustees refused to pay that sum, and tendered 2031 165., which they afterwards paid into Court. I offered them a reference, and to leave the ad justment of the account to any respectable auctioneer (naming several to them), but to this fair ar rangement 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 re mar k th a t t h e t h ree 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 ina 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/, and which included all charges and ex penses whatever, except the ousts of travelling and a fair proportion of the expenses applicable to the other two farms (not forming a part of the Hall of the Brand estate), making together the same total as the first ac count—viz., 3831. 16s. 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.

Few men were better calculated to till the ancient and ho nourable 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 clays 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 d scourre, rendered him no less respected and ap preciated by his fellow-citizens than by his numerous friends elsewhere ; and it is with pleasure 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 a c k now l e d g i ng , i n hi s " 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, in 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 qualifications of a successor like Dlr. Pritchard, whom we rejoice to find an nounced as a candidate, and who desei ves success. fhe office of the Town-Clerk or Common Clerk of the City, is to keep the original Charter, the books, roll., and other re cords, wherein are registered the acts and p roc e e d ings o f t h e City. By virtue of this his ?Mee, he may not improperly be called the City Register. His duty is also to attend the Lord Alayor 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 I. A. D. 1304, as relating to the preservation of the " Rotuli quw aunt in custodia aped 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 tie Reginald, Robert de Hoton, William de Kildesby, John Burton, temp. Rich. IL ; 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 digesting P ety the mass of documentary records, and deducin g th em t o or d er. t, Prian, the Barrister of Lincoln's I nn , was appointed by that King, after his restoration, and his labours in this respect are William :effect in After these we find in the Appendix to M a itl an d th e follow o f highly the spoken Innerk e nofby Temple, the afro chronicles laboured of the great * r d a y follow ing given in chronological series:— tliernalive;;;;ldhit;e 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 2031 16s. paid into Court), notwithstanding the summing up of the Learned Judge who tried both these causes and which there is some difficulty in reconcil ing with his Lordship's summing up i n t h e case of " Dri ver v. Cholmondeley ' —a case which involved a similar point and was grounded on the same principle. In ad dition to this, my demand for the whole sum was based on a usage and practice well u n d erstood and admitted in respect to all contracts entered into upon faith ; and that such a contract was so made with me, and with the privity and knowledge and in the presepe of Mx!.

The salary and perquisites at the present day are well known. Among the very valuable documents which are under the guardianship of this City officer, and consequently of Sir. Woodthorpe till within these 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 houses, Leagues of Foreign Princes, and Treaties with them, bonds, charters, deeds; enrolments, tenures, ex tents and surveys, &c., of England, too multitudinous to be enumerated.

Now Publisehd, price 245., containing "Parliamentary Directory," giving the most recent Parliamentary Intelligence, and the present Town Ad.. dress of each Peer and Member. Official Directory.

Law Directory, and complete Lists of Stamps. Court Directory, including thou- Binds of names not to be found in any other work. City Di rectory. Postage Directory. Conveyance Directory. Bank ing Directory, Ste. &c. • The following Reviews of the Complete Directory have already appeared : Times, December 3, 1841 This useful matter-of-fact volume has just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co., of Old Boswell -court, Temple-bar, and will no doubt be, as it. ought to be, in the hands of every merchant, I.anker, and tradesman in thc 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 un 'er the Crown, of all persons holding situations in the Eat 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 b 7 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 3 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 gales 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 nest 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. Morninr , Post, December 29, 1841. The charge, whether title 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. Wiihin 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, gi v i n g, 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'tuations under the Crown, in the Bank, the East India House, and other public departments; the " Commercial Directory," perhaps 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, froni 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 mus of information relative 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 win 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 Dire etory—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 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.

LORD J. n i t i t o h te a l t , l P l : a la d e t c h -ya rd , l i t i f a . e 3IY Loam,— In a Elnsghlozdopt,hicaidi,isepaiaribtyolistreiridi, Rthttl.i:rtS,,tSemmE:LL, M.P. thedisaed subject of the in inn i vantages under to your Lordship, as one of a deputation on the honour b' w e rich -la t w he s, with a country manufacturing part of it, ng to own clothing and other articles. From the foot of this lettetabular form in whi c h i t i s now submitted (see r), your Lordship will perceive that the disad vantages are of two kinds, natural and artificial. The natural disadvanta g es are 1. The s e ll er cif goods has to sustain in a distant market r -disadvanta g es which the English workman would have to vus tain under a system of free trade, which would of itself be suf ficiently embarrassing. 2. The artitLial disadvantages proceed from restriction and monopoly, and will divide themselves into two heads also:- 1. Re , trictive retaliatory tariffs, and which are paid out of what should be English wages, and go to pay Amencin, Ger man, and other taxes. 2. That which is chargeable to direct monopoly on English food, and is paid in th e case a b ove at t h e E ng li s h cus t om -h ouse, as duty f or the importation of American flour, and is also to be deducted from the English workman's wages. The first and natural disadvantages are as follows: The expense of selling goods at New York, freight, insurance commission, txc. Co:nmission on buying flour at New York 8 do. Expense of selling tam at Liverpool; includ ing freight from Ainerica • 2O do. ~.emu S N I LONDO N, MONDAY ENING IVLARCH 7, 1842. SECONDLY, The aPtiSeial burdens in the shape of retalia tory duties on goods in New York y decidedly pro , lueed by the Corn-laws b9i barrels flour Your Lordship will perceive that all these va 34 1 t u making togethe r 134 b arrels, and which you wrill i a sse e r r c e ha l s ra er fi gd o y e: ducted from the wages of the English workman, and place him at a disadvantage as compared with the American workman, who is making the same kind of goods, as 34 is to 132. The natural disadvantages under which the British opera• Live labours in having to seek a distant market, would, if pro tection were of any use— if a b ounty on the export of mandfix tured goods were ever justified, give him a claim to such protection —to such bounty in his favour, and especially as the net returns for goods exported fix the price paid for labour on all goods flgcoroou,r,e.rn abro a d,as all w i syt against o h cueh d the o Englishet i of simil ar manu f acture made in this kingdom, whether 'for exportation or h ome consumption, as the price must alway s be low eno ug h, i n an exporting country, t o overcome and v portation of his goods, and th e i mportat i on of his food, or he must pay, is h a t i• equivalent, as muck e x t ra f or t h e h ome l workman, eat:nscosu n o tf even , In t_oe p o n fi r iff t t i y n -w g nei n his a db f o aar r o d ef f l rs r e o e r o r f. : trade in cor n , an d if the America n h os til e tar i ff were not takgis off, th ere wou l d then be a disadvantage against the English workman of 91 5,i barrels o f flour as com p are d w i th the American vroikman. A s i t i s now agreed on all hands that protection and bou n ti es on manufactures, if practicable, would be misehievous--it, then, th e L eg i slature can give no protection to the op era ti ves; i f no device can rai.e the money rate of wages of th e wor ki ng man artificially one farthing, what then becomes of p ro t ect i ng some other class at the expense of this—. the most mime rous , as we ll as the most helpless of all classes, especially as ou r pos i t i on i s altering every day for the worse, from the inc rease o f, an d i mprovement in machinery, both in the old and new wo r ld s . Wh en we had few or no competitors, when the superi or ity i n , or exc l us i ve possession of ma chinery placed u s i n th e pos i t i on, if your Lordship will allow me to illustrate the eye by a comparison of a gent l eman of the turf, who s e h orses are so superior as to deter oth ers f rom a con test, and which walk ov er t ie course f or t h e plate, in such a case the weight carri e d was i mmater i a l . The difference was paid by the foreigner, b u t our a lt ere d pos i tion renders it neces sary that th e L eg i s l a t ure ( to carry on the figure) should . re move every pound f rom th e over b ur d ened an i mal who has now such formidable compe tit ors i n t h e race. And let it never be forgotten th a t it i s t h e wor ki ng man especially that competes. It should b e remem b ered that the landowner has none of these difficulties to co n t en d w i t h , b ut h as the benefit of a market at his own door. Th oug h I h ave taken a single article, and a single market, t o ill ustrate the case, the result would be the same in any other mar k e t, or w i th any other kind of goods which we s hip, th e d egree b e i ng fixed by the tariffs in such countries, and by th e per centage of labour in such goods, and which per ce n t age o f l a b our is continually decreasing. In speaking . f th e f a lli ng o ff o f the hosiery trade of the midland counties, I ought to h ave name d to your Lordship, that so far from their bein g any f a lli ng o ff i n the fashion for cotton hosiery (anti returns are accessible from most coun t r i es ) , as f ar as I have been able to ascer t a i n f rom suc h returns, there is a con stant steady increased consumption of these articles in all civi lised countries but one, and that one country is Great Britain, which supplied the world with hosiery for more than two 'bun dred years. There has been a falling off in this country within the last dirt e or four years in the consumption of this article about one-third. I find that, whether you compare the situation of the English operative with the foreign workmen, as to the amount of food he receivei for a given amount of labour, or whether you view it by comparing his present with his past circumstances, the result is equally unfavourable. I find, on a careful comparison of the money rate of wages of the stocking.maker now, and before the passing of the Corn laws, takinc , thirty years before the war and its disturbing causes, and indeed up to the passing of the law of 1815, the workmen had steady vines, which, compared with the present rate was as 15s. is to 6s. 6d. or 7W., and allowing for the difference in the price of food on an average for the lait ten years, and ten years before the war places him in a• Lposition to hi s di sa d vantage as one is to four your ordship always recollecting that there has been no disturb ing cause to which bad trade has been attributed else where, either in the improvement of, or increase in, machi nery or any application of steam, and that •as his wages have been coming down step by step under these laws, if we may judge from the pnst, it is fair t 3 presume that they will continue to do so, so long as these laws are on the its Lute-book. • In addition to the evils I have before named, it may be well to state as we are only now manufacturers on sufferance, and ale obliged to make such goods as foreign manufacturers ne glect to supply the markets of the world with, we are con tinually being pressed upon those articles which have the least labour and the most material in them, which circumstance acts injuriously, not only in giving a less amount of labour in a given amount of experts, but gives an increased disadvantage against the wages of our workmen. For instance, with 20 per cent. foreign tariff on SO ; et- cent.. stages and 20 per cent. material, that will he a tax on British labour of 23 per cent. ; but with an article having 50 per cent. material and 50 per cent. labour in it, will be a tax on the British workman on the same foreign market of 40 per cent. The general impression three years ago was, that we should lose the whole of this tr•de, but experience shows that there, as well as other ill- paid operatives must continue to work at such wages as may be ob!aisied, however low that price may be, and however high the price of foo.l, there being no other employ ment to be had. Your Lordship will see I have not endea voured to make out a ewe not warranted by the circumstances, when I tell you that the disparity would have been considerably greater before midsummer last, is up to that time the duty on these goods, at the American Custom-house was, 30 instead of 23 per cent., which it now is. I have the whole cf the vouchers in my possession, necessary to establish the correctness of this statement. I am at Morley's Ho!el, and should be happy to furnish them, should your Lord ship deem it necessary.—l am, my Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient humble servant, WIII. RAWSON.
