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.

CITING'S I VOILII-DESTROYING LOZEN GES have for fifty years held a distinguished reputation, and are still and increasingly patronised by the hignest names in rank, respectability and science, from a personal knowledge of their utility in their own families It is a fact estab isheal by the annual Bilk of Mortality, that one half of the Children been are cut off before at taining Seven 1 ears of Age, and the fruitful source of this mortality is found to exist in that soul state of the Stomach and Bosch which pr o duces the generation of Worms. As the safe restorer of Infan tin e Health, in this critical state, many fond and anxious mothers, w ho have successfully had recourse to these Lozenges, can grate fully testify to their excellence. As an opening Medicine in 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 IVorm Lozenges are peculiarly adapted and recommended for exp-rtation to the East and West Indies and Warm Climates generally, as their virtue remains unimpaired by time.

Now Published, price 245., containing " Parliamentary Directory," giving the most r cent Parliamentary Intelligence, and the present Town Ad dress of each Peer and Member. Official Directory. Street Directory, the only one published of the Metropolis, to include Nubility and Gentry, as well as Merchants and Traders. Com mercial Directory. Trades Directory. 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-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, hanker, and tradesman in the country. It is, indep e nd ent ly o f it s ut ili ty, b y 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 I 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 S7ales is given, together with the amount of stamp duties on advertisements paid by each paper reveetively, and, indeed, a mass of information is brought together from which the best inf.mmed may derive some i ncrease o f k now l edge, and to which the attention of the most ignorant and careless can hardly he called in rains' 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 arrargement. Morning Post, December 29,18.11. 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 nseful to the fashionable, legal, or commercial communities "It includes a " Court Directory," which alone contains about fire-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," 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, 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 " PoA-office t tirectory" for former years, and no less praise is due to the publication of the present volume. It contains the same immense mass of information relative to the metropolis, which renders the work one of the most astonishing monuments of the greatness of London that can well be conceived. This information appears clasaified, 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 ; arid, in fact, it must he regarded as dispensable in every house, or office, where business i s trans acted. To those, if there b e any, yvlio have' not seen it, it will conve the best notion of the v ar i e t y o f i ts contents to say, that the single volume of 1,500 pa g es contains a St ree t s ' Di rectory —Trades' Directory—Law Dreetory—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 coinriete and extremely useful work. Item braces every point of interest in and near the metropolis that can affect the wants of the community at large, and is service able to all classes of society. Under one general head it con tains a series of Directories, in whit I are cnumeratcd all the Trades, Streets, Names, Official Designations,Parliamentary, legal, Banking, and Yost-olce references, that are in daily re- Sun, N ovember 25 1841. We have great pleasure in noticing , this useful walk, 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. A Street Directory, which in cludes gentry as well as trader's • and subjoined to this, are two others, giving the names' at full length, of sixty thousand rer. 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 liament, with the most tecent 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 City Officers, Companies, &c. The Court Directory - , includes the names of twenty-five thousand persons not engaged in trade, and takes a wider range than any other work of the kind. The information respecting the Post-office will he found eminently useful to persons of every description ; and among ether additions Mack to it for this year is one of great importance, sliming the time at which a 1. tter from London should be delivered .staieg place in England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place. The facilities afforded by the Postmaster-General give the compilers 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 sound cf great service to persons in every rank of life. Weekly Dispatch, Nov. 28, 1841. We have been favoured with a sight of this elaborate work ; and we must pronounce it vastly superior to the previous vol umes. The contents are admirably arranged. There is a distinct alphabetical li t of the names, in number, of all civil officers under Government, in the Batik of England, East India House, and all other puhlic establishrnews ; 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 thei r o ffi cers an d j ur i sd i ctions; alphabetical lists of Queen's Serjeants, Queen's Counsel, Serjeants at law, Benchers, Ba- ri, ters, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers, Proctors, Attorneys, Notaries, &c. Toe names of all persons in the metropolis and its immediate vicinity not engaged in trade, are given with th e most accurate lists yet publi s h e d o f 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 ainguishing those which grant and pay money-orders, land, refer' ing to the money-order office nearest to those which do not ; and an alphabetical list of the str ee t s o f L on d on, w i th a reference fro m eac h 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, 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 c a l cu l a ti ng i n a ll cases the " retu rn c f 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 C na o m m e p s an o ie f s t , lthueDhitrhe Directors and of ofAandoffisscuerrasnee, 8, th e e , are var also iousAssur furnished Assurance 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 noeing 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 Look helps him out of this difficulty by giving the names of the inhabitants of each house of No. 1 upwards. Smithy 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 ance, Banking, and an Official Directory. it contains an alinanack, list of stamp duties, Post-office rules, and, in fact, a body of intelligence too great for detail. Respecting the accuracy of such a work, it is, 'of course, impossible to speak; the most inveterate Magliabechi that ever gulped quartos, or bolted folios, would scarcely undertake the perusal of a three tory. It is not saving too much to declare that the Post-office Directory is a work unexampled even in this country. To ap proximate closely to the communication of the names, resi dences, and trades of the inhabitants of London, 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 " 4 Official Directory," which furnishes the full names and positions of all persons holding public situations under Government, the East India Company, the Bank, Sze. The scope o f t h at 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, Bosinghall-stre c t. or Belgrave-square, in King's road, Che'sea, 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, trailers, 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 Eilenborough as Governor.-General of India, and of his suc cessor at the Indie Board, Lord Fitzgerald. The "Postage Directory" furnishes much original and highly valuable in formation in reference to Money Orders, and to the precise time of the 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 " 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, Conveyer 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. Britannia, November 27, 1841. • The old proverb says it is good to let well alone ; but we see no possible reason why well should be left to stand still, so long as better is clearly attainable; and such appears to be the opinion of the enterprising proprietors of the "Post-office Lon don Directory." The present edition is superior in many re spects, to any of its predecessors. On its first appearance, it was a neat and correct pocket volume—nothing more; but it has gone on improving and augmenting from year to err, till, by the mere force of its manifest superiority, it has fairly beaten every competitor out of the held, and become, from the variety. copiousness, and accuracy of its information, an indispensable requisite to every count ing-house and shop in the metropolis and its suburbs. It would be quite impossible, in a brief notice, to give anything like an adequate idea of the contents of a closely-printed royal octavo volume, running to upwards of 1,500 pages. It can only be justly described as a series of Directories, each one complete in itself, and each of peculiar value to every per son engaged in business. For instance, is the residence of any particular person required, a reference to the " Commer cial' or " Court Directory" will at once give the desired in formation. If a complete list of all persons engaged in any one of the various professions or trades exercised i n the me tropolis is sought, turn to the "Trades' Directory," an d you have, ready to Your hand, arranged in al pbauetical order, aep t lo h rto e hrek r e.a e r s y i residence n ea c rhu e asvt e a , t n t a a e c yc h .e e ,r d s , e e clearly arretyt u r n o fe containing n i a n c g - Sae., within the limits of te a io n l eu d nbti so that every change is u h r e a p t e r o p information;r iet o r with ac countant, mortality.

John Bull, November 27, 1841. Again we have to bestow our praise on the Compl eteness and cheapness cf th e mu l t if ar i ous information comprised in the " Post office London Directory," which comp re h ends 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 metrop o l is th a t h as hi t h erto appeared. Spectator, Dec. 4, 1841. This extensive work still continues to grow. I3esides a revi sion and extension of the other brandies, 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 subdivider] , one part containing a list of Governmer.t and other public offices, under which the names and employments of the persons are arranged ; the other presents an alphabetical list a person holding offices under the Crown, in the East India House Bank of England, &c.

IS u IRELAND. OUTRAGES IN GALWAY COUNTY. DUBLIN, MAY 16.—Within the past week some out- ' rages, connected with the eviction of tenantry, have been committed in Galway—a county hitherto remark able for tranquillity. On this subject the Galway Vindicator contains the following : " Since the regime of our Tory rulers, the borders of Tipperary, adjoining the county of Galway, have been the scene of many outrages ; and, to guard as much as possible against the system of crossing over the Shan non, it has been deemed prudent by the executive to have "a stipendiary magistrate stationed at Portumna.

EMIGRATION. Notwithstanding the advance of the season, emigration is still proceeding with as much vigour as in the com mencement of the spring ; and it is upon as extensive a scale in Ulster as in the southern counties. From Bel fast alone, since the opening of the present season, thirteen vessels have sailed for Quebec, St. John's, and Prince Edward's Island, carrying out about 3,500 pas sengers. Some vessels have also sailed for the United States, with three or four hundred passengers. DREADFUL CONFLICT WITII THE POLICE. The Cork Examiner contains the following account of a desperate encounter between three policemen and a number of the peasantry. The district where this oc curred has been heretofore very peaceable ; it is within the county of Tipperary, and upon the borders of the county of Cork : _ "A party, consisting of three of the police stationed at Hilbenney, near Mitchelstown, were on patrol about eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, when they were, met by a party of between twelve and eighteen men armed, and apparently on some desperate intent. On the police challenging them, they answered very roughly, and immediately attacked the police. Their arms not being loaded at the time, they could badly defend themselves. Two of them were desperately beaten, and now lie in the bar racks, with very little hopes of their recovery. One of them, named btrap, made a desperate fight, but was thrown over a bridge near the place. lie held his as sailant so firmly as to drag him over with him, and gave him several stabs with his bayonet, from the effects of which, it is supposed, he must have died ; he also kept firm hold of his gun, and though his skull was fractured in three different places, lie succeeded in keeping it from him: Robinson, another of the police, also made fight, but was knocked down by a blow of a hammer, and his skull badly fractured. The other policeman endeavoured to discharge his carbine at a fellow who attacked him, but missed fire—he then made off to the barracks fur more assistance. Two countrymen, who lived near the spot, rushed out bf their house and gave the police every assistance ; they knocked down several of the fellows — in fact but for them the two police would have been mur dered on the spot. The neighbouring police, with Mr. Bourke, the sub-inspector, h ave b een out a ll d ay en deavouring to trace them, but without effect. This has caused a great sensation in 3litchelstown, which is a peaceable quarter of the country. There is no idea what the fellows were intent on, but it is hoped by the active exertions of the police, they will speedily be brought to justice."

" My Countrymen,—Rumours have been brought from the south-western frontier of invasion. Particulars have. not been furnished to the Executive. The facts are suffi cient to justify immediate - preparation for defensive war. All who are subject to military duty are commanded to be in readiness to repair equipped to the scene of action at the call of the authorities of the country. It is or dered that the Colmiel of .each county, for the present, lay off the county into company beats, and direct the election of Captains and subalterns, and arrange the members of each company into three classes, agreeably to the class which they may draw. When draughts. may take place the Colonels of the different countiess, shall have authority and power to accept efficient sub stitutes into service. " Each man will be required, iii the event of a call by the President, to report himself, furnished with god arms, eight days' provision, and 100 rounds of ammu nition, and prepared for three months' service from the time when they may report at the head-quarters of the. army. "In the event of a formidable invasion, it is needless to appeal to the patriotism and valour of Texans. They have won liberty and independence by their undaunted. heroism ; they have enjoyed the blessings of freedom ; they are proud of their national character. "If invasion should press upon us we are required by every sacred obligation to family, friends, and country, to repel our invaders with discomfiture and dismay. If war should come upon us, we will make it our business.. We will be authorized to meet and pursue our enemies with vengeance. They have forgotten the generosity with which they were treated when they were placed at, the footstool of Texan mercy ! They - were saved when. even humanity would have justified retributive ven geance ! Should Mexico again disregard the exalted principles of civilized and honourable warfare, they shall kel that avenging arm that shall take of them full re compense for oppression and cruelty. Texans can and IN ill be free—they would prefer death to degradation, or the loss of their independence. "SAMUEL HOUSTON. " Galveston, March 10, 1842."
