UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE OF FICE, 1, KING WILLIAM-STREET, LONDON. The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is eensistent with perfect security. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May, 1840, when a reduction of 60 per Cent. was declared on the current annual premiums of all those policies entitled to parti cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841, when a similar reduction was again declared. The following table will show the operation of the reduction made by the Society : Age Reduced when Date et Annual Policy Sum Original R e d uc ti on Premium was , Policy. Assured.

Sir,—Having for several years past sufferet4 exceedingly from Gout and Rhelmatism, so much so that I was prevented from following my usual avocations far months together, I was recommended by a friend of mine who had taken Blair's Pill• with great success, to try a box, one of which I procured of your Ageot, Mr. Butler, of Bea consfield, and which I can confidently assure you had such a won derful effect upon me, that I have not had an attack of Gout or Rheu matism since, which is now fifteen month‘. You are at liberty to make what use you please of this testimonial in favour of your truly valuable Pills. I remain, Sir, yours very respectfully, JOHN COSHER. - - The discoverer of this invaluable Specific is a professional man, who, after many years' practice and research, has proved, by facts, that these Pills will effectually cure every description of Gout, Rheu matic gout, Rheumatism, Lumbago, Pains in the Head or Face, Esc. They are thus recommended to the affbcted with a confidence, eris ng experience, as one of the valuable results of the improved state of Medial Selene- ' and the only efficient remedy ever discovered for those excruciating disorders. In Gout, Itheumati.• Gout, and acute Rheumatism, these Pills will have a most wonderful effect, in moa t cases giving relief from the intolerable pains in one or two hours; and one box will frequently carry off the attack in two or three days, even is hen the patient has usually kept his bed for as many weeks, and sometimes months.

There are separate Directories also for the Court ; the Par liament, with the must recent addresses of the Members of both Houses ; the Law, with a list of all officers from the Lord Chancellor down to the usher •f the most inferior Court : and the City of London, with the names and add-esses 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 be found eminently useful to persons of every description ; and among other additions made to it for this year is one of great impor• tance, showing the time at which a letter from London should be de ivered at any 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 advan tages which could not otherwise be obtained. The informa • tion 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 found of great service to persons in every rank of life. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.

SOLICITORS—Messrs. Sweet, Sutton, Ewens, and Ornmanney. The object of this Company is to connect Gravesend with S:rood, Rochester, Brompton, and Chatham, by converting the Thames and Medway Canal into a Railway. Satisfactory arrangements have been made with the Thames and Medway Canal Company. The cost of making the Railway, including Land, Stations Engines, Carriages, and Working Stock, is estimated at 117,1151. ; but in order to meet every contingency, it is pro. posed to raise 150,000/. by the issue of 6,000 shares of 251. each, upon which a deposit of 2/. 103. per share is to be made. The subscribers of die amount now to be raised are to be en titled to interest at Si. per cent. per annum upon the amount of their Deposits and Calls, until the opening of the Railway, and from that time they are to have a preference of receiving interest at the same rate, out of the profits of the under taking, before any dividend is paid to the other Proprie tors, until the expiration of twelve months, when they are to have the option of continuing to receive five per cent. per annum, or of sharing the profits in common with the other Proprietors. Considerably above one thousand persons, at the present sea son of the year daily travel between Gravesend and Roches ter, and there can be no doubt but that during the summer months that amount will be very greatly increased. The number of Passengers landed and embarked on the Piers at Gravesend, between the Ist of August, 1840, and the Ist of August, 1841, was 963,650. It is estimated that there will be at least 750,000 Passengers annually conveyed upon this Railway, producing, according to a moderate calculation, 36,2501., to which may be added 1,2501. for goods, parcels, &c. ; thus making the total receipts 37,500/., which, after de ducting 13,500/. for the working expenses of the Line, will leave a net annual revenue of 24,0001., equal to 8 per cent. upon an assumed Capital of 300,000/. This is founded upon merely doubling the existing traffic; whereas the result of almost every other line of Railway would justify a much larger increase. The Provisional Committee have submitted the plan of this Railway to Mr. Rastrick, who has reported most favourably upon it, as having advantages which are not possessed by other Railways, and which cannot fail to make it a safe investment for capital. _ _ It i; i , itended to apply to Parliament in the ensuing Session for power to carry the above undertaking into effect, and such Shareholders in the Thames and Medway Canal Company as are desirous of taking Shares in the further Capital are re. quested to signify their intention immediately. Application for Shares to be made on or before the 3d of February next, to Messrs. Sweet, Sutton, Ewens, and Om manney, 6, Basinghall-street, London (post paid) in the form mentioned in the Prospectus, which may be had at the Office of the Solicitors.—London, Jan. 19, 1842. TO the PROPRIETORS of the THAMES and MEDWAY CAN AL.—WhereaA, certain parties who are Proprietors• of shares in the above Canal, and whose residences are unknown, and to whom letters addressed, for )ears, have been returned to the Company : are hereby re quested to forward their addresses to the Office of the Com pany, No. I li, Union-court, Old Broad-street, as an applica tion is about to be made to Parliament to convert the Canal into a Railway.

W. HUGHES HUGHES, Hon. Sec 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 vo lumes. The contents are admirably arranged. There is a dis tinct alphabetical list 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 the Lord Chan cellor down to the Usher of the most inferior Court; Police Courts, with their officers and jurisdictions ; alphabetical lists of Queen's Serjeants, Queen's Counsel, Sergeants at law, Benchers, Barristers, Special Pleaders, Conveyancers,Proct ors; Attorneys, Notaries, &c. The 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 land, distinguishing those which grant and pay money orders, and 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 opportunity in all eases, in town and country, of applying to the nearest office for a money-order, and of obtaining it upon the office most c‘ntiguous 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 he delivered at any place in England or Wales, and the time at which the letter-box for London closes in each place; thus affording the opportunity of calculating in all cases the " return of post." Independent of all this informa tion, we have copious accounts of all conveyances by railways, stage-coaches, waggons, vans, carts, 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 Direetors and officers of the various Assurance Companies, with the rates of Assurance, &c., are also furnished in ample detail. One great feature in this work is, that it directs an individual to the position of any number in the street, by noting the intersection of churches, courts, streets, lanes, alleys, &c., between one house and another. It often happens that a person may forget the name of the tradesman he wants, although he knows the street. The Street Direc tory in this book helps him out of this difficulty by giving the names of the inhabitants of each house of No. I upwards. Sunday Times, December 5, 1841. This useful work is just published ; it is, in short, a com mercial, trades, law, court, parliamentary, city, postage, con veyance, banking, and an official Directory. It contains an almanack, list of stamp duties, Post-office rules, and, in fact, a body of intelligence toe great for detail. Respecting :the accuracy of such a work, it is, of worse, 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 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, is a task trim which a literary Hercules might flinch. Railway Magazine, December 4, 1641. Judging front the great superiority of the last edition of this work over its competitors, we did not anticipate the improve ments which have been effected in the present, which not only place this Directory at the head of the list, but must drive the others out of the field. An entirely new division has been introduced, viz., the " Official Directory," which furnishes the full names and positions of all persons holding public situations under Government, the East India Company, the Bank, &c. The scope of that important branch, the " Street Directory," has been very considerably extended ; and thou sands are now included, who reside without the narrow limits 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, Chelsea, or in Kingsland ; and one of the great advan tages pecUliar to this publication is, that all inhabitants are inserted in their nu h erical 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 Direetory" is co pious ; in it the offices held by every Peer and Commoner are aoeurately 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 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 refiezts credit on those who I eve 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-o ffi ce 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.

POST -OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY For 1842. _ _ _ _ __ . 4 The plaintiff's publication was one of considerable bulk, and most probably of great utility : and so the Vice-Chan cellor of England must have thought by granting the injunc tion ex parte, and continuing that proceeding upon motion made to dissolve it." Vide " Times" of 20th December, 1841. 7 -Judgment of his Honour Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce, confirming - the Injuna• tion obtained against the " Post-Office Almanac," for pirating Post-Office Directory." The following Reviews of the Complete Directory have al ready appeared : Times, Desember 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, banker, and tradesman in the country. It is, independently of its utility, by which it is rendered indis. pensable to every counting-house and shop, a curious sta tistical monument of the extent, importance, trade, and wealth of the metropolis, and as such a document deserving the attention even of persons who are not immediately in terested in commercial and business pursuits. The present volume for 1842 contains some important now 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. (here 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 and Wales is given, together with the amount of stamp duties is•ued to the various newspapers published throughout England brought together from which the best on a m a a d s e o r f t i i s n e f m o r e m n a t s t paid n is by each paper respectively, and, indeed informed may derive some increase of knowledge, and to which the attention of the mast 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 bo compiled with indefatigable industry. extreme vigilance, and an excellent judgment for arrangement. 1.

The old is d uld to be et lweftel l te al s e t n e e b ;dbut, s till , ws see it. no possible reason on says, why well long as better is clearly attainable ; and inch appears to be the proverb opinion of the enterprising proprietors of the' Yost-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 year, 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 ef any particular person required, a reference to the " Commer cial" •r " 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' Directory," and you have, ready to your hand, arranged in alphabetical order, and with the residence attached, a return of every ac countant, apothecary, artist, ice., &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 ; se 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 well 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 pro duce it, and, considering its bulk and variety, the surprisingly love price at which it is issued, we must pronounce it, notwith standine the typographical wonders daily issued from the 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 • f the multifarious information comprised in the " Post.ofliee 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 extension of the other branches, the Official Directory has now been increased so as to form a division of itself. This part, like the other sections of the subject, is subdivided ; one part containing a list of Government and other public offices, under which the names and employments of the persons are arranged ; the other presents an alphabetical list of persons Bottling offices under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank ef England, &c. And such a muster-roll I —an army, nay, a population, of place-holders I Nonconformist, December 8, 1841. Another edition of this colossal work has just issued from the steam presses of Messrs. Kelly and Co., 19 aid 20, Bos well-court, Temple Bar. The greatest credit is due to all parties connected with the compilation of this bock, for the assiduity which must have been exercised, as well as the talent displayed in the execution of every branch of it. This has been achieved by dint of great labour. As a whole, we look upon the Post-office Directory as the most complete work of the kind ever published. National Advertiser, Dee. 18, 1841. , . This work is in 1,527 imperial octavo pages, and the study of the compilers appears to have been to render each page a speci men of systematic arrangement, and of how much information it is possible to convey in a given space. We do not believe that any work of the kind exists so nearly approaching perfection. b T h e , e arere shoeurrec wroughtes of t the outPl vo We t i n - n o er ffi ov :e re r , ebarenyfdorme u s efuli gshawt variety aa t r h ipe e y tiyr a eo r c e ft oporeryomvwbe which ui to ca tion, and finish,to etahealti onlydivision r ho" o f accustomed r o o t ed has tobelei literary r imparted o labo riouslabour entirely appreciate. tAo,s G tag lobe e, , c D: y e e m yan be c r e : a , n l:4 l3 l included an O ffi cial Kalen e d er a oc r mi , al a p:i Law Guide, ands Peerage and Parliamentary Chronicle, besides all the Nobility and Gentry, Merchants, Professional men, andrrsersSahadomepso,knegLepaoewtrh,secorfoiuntrhfotemaettior hffiinsacltuYiaasClnerrfeiSutallner'sge'sPeCadryas it as been with great care and metro polis and its vicinity. to announce the publication itself, and to Parlia mentary, e al dtndTiOs that n co nu m al m " :king Directories. aided by sources of offi c i al infotraation peculiar to itself, it may be taken as a saf e gu i de in the various matters upon which it pro fesses to enlighten the public.

The .1' glace comprised many large and elegant apartments, of which those on the lower story are converted into barrack rooms, and the upper into lodgings for the officers of the garrison. Opposite the Palace on the north stands the chapel, built, as already mentioned, by James VI., for the christening of his eldest son, Prince Henry. Of this pageant, one of the most extraordinary on record, a few particulars may here be not unacceptable as charact4 ristic of the monarch and the times, when " spectacle" was em ployed for state purposes as well as for pleasure. The despatches to foreign Courts, announcing the birth of a son and heir to the throne, on the 19th of February, had been so well received, that Ambassadors Extraordinary arrived from the King of Denmark, the Queen's father — from Brunswick, Magdeburg; Holland. France, and Eng land. The latter was represented by the Earl of Sussex ; and with presents and congratulations, all had met at Stir ling by the end of August. In the meantime the prepa rations were going on under the personal superintend ence of his Majesty, while the Ambassadors were enter tained at Court in the most sumptuous manner. The chase, and other field sports, or amusements within the Palace—were the business of the day. The evenings were spent in balls, masks, and banquets. Tournaments and tilting were practised in the " valley, which was lined with guards in splendid new uniforms. On one side, Ia scaffolding was erected for the Queen, her Ladies, and the Foreign Ambassadors ; and to this constellation every performer on entering the arena made a profound obeis ance. • _ _ .

On the 30th of August, the ceremony of baptism was performed with a splendour and pomp never before wit nessed in Scotland. The new Chapel Royal was hung with the richest and most costly tapestries, with every attendant embellishment of costume and ceremony which could heighten the effect. When all the necessary pre parations were completed, his Majesty, attended by the Nobilityfand Privy Councillors, entered the chapel, and took his place on the throne. The Foreign Ambassa-: dors then repaired to the Prince's chamber, where they found the Royal infant laid upOn a bed of state, the fur niture of which was embroidered with the " Labours of Hercules." The ascent to the platform on which the bed stood was by steps covered with tapestry wrought in gold. A large cloth of lawn covered both bed and steps, and reached a good way over the floor. As soon As the Ambassadors and other officers had assembled, the Dowager Countess of Marr approached the bed, and mak ieg a low obeisance, took up the Prince, and delivered him into the hands of the Duke of Lennox, who imme diately presented him to the English Ambassador, whose office was to carry him into the chapel. After a va riety of minute ceremonies, too tedious to recapitulate in this place, the procession set out in magnificent order, preceded by . the Lyon-King-at-Arms, and the other He ralds in their State uniforms, all the Nobility and foreign Ambassadors, and was received in the Chapel Royal, when a sermon was delivered by his Majesty's Chaplain, and followed by an appropriate address in Latin, spoken by the Bishop of Aberdeen. The King, leaving his seal, and followed by the Ambassadors, advanced towards the pulpit, while the Duke of Lennox, again receiving the Prince from the Lady Marr, delivered him to the English Ambassador, who held him in his arms during the per formance of the sacred ceremony. The child was chris tened by the names of Frederic Henry, which were no sooner pronounced than they were thrice repeated aloud by the Lyon-King-at-Arms, and confirmed by the infe rior Heralds with a flourish of trumpets. Various other ceremonies being duly performed, the Royal family, at tended by the same gorgeous retinue, retired to the great hall, or " Parliament House," alrea dy- named, under con tinued salvos of artillery from the Castle, answered by volleys of small arms from the troops lining the ram parts. When the procession halted, the Duke of Lennox, again receiving the Prince from the English Ambassador, presented him to the King, who dubbed him a Knight, the Earl of Marr touching him with the spur. He was next created a Duke; with various other ancient titles attached-, all of which were proclaimed by Heralds at an open window of the hall, and followed with the same flourish of trumpets. The Prince was then carried by the English Ambassador to his Chamber in the Palace, where all the guests of distinction now approached with their bapfismal offerings, styled propines. The ceremony concluded with that of knighting a great number of gentle men present, and was succeeded by a sumptuous banquet at eight o'clock, at which their Majesties presided. Here, however, we must omit many curious particulars. When the first course had been removed, the company was sur prised by the whimsical spectacle of a Moor, harnessed by numerous gold chains to a triumphal car, with which he advanced to the sound of trumpets and hautboys. The chariot bore a table richly covered with fruits and confectionary, and attended by six damsels, three of whom were robed in white satin, three in crimson satin, covered with gold and silver spangles, a garland on the head, the hair flowing luxuriantly over the shoulders, and bedecked with feathers, pearls, and jewels. In front stood Ceres. holding a sickle in one hand, and a bunch of corn in the other, and surrounded by numerous emble matical and allegorical figures, each with classic costume and well selected devices. The precious desert which freighted the celestial wain was distributed by the dam sels in silence to the great Nobility in immediate at tendance. After this a second spectacle, equally original, entered the hall, consisting of a ship full rigged, placed upon wheels, moved by invisible springs, and having a length of 18 feet in the keel, with a breadth of deck of 8 feet. The highest flag, which was lowered on passing through the door of the hall, was 40 feet ; the masts were red ; the tackle and cordage silk of the same colour ; and the pulleys of gold. Her brass ordnance consisted of 36 pieces, elegantly mounted. The sails were of white taf tiny, and the anchors tipped with silver. In the foresail was a compass, with this device—quouscunque per undo:. On the mainsail were painted the joint arms of Scotland and Denmark. All the sails, flags, and streamers, were embroidered with gold and jewels. The mariners, sin in number, were clad in variegated Spanish taffety. The pilot, dressed in cloth of gold, moved the ship at will and 14 musicians, with Anion and his harp, performed their dulcet office on board. Upon the forecastle stood Neptune, clad in Indian silk embroidered with silver, holding his trident, and wearing a crown. Next stood Thetis, with her mace ; and at her right hand, Triton, with his shell and the scroll— Velis votis ventis. Around the vessel were three Syrens, accommodating their ges tures to the music, and repeating classic verses. The vessel was decked with pearls, corals, shells, and other marine productions. At sound of trumpet, the ship moved majestically forward into the hall, making sail at the blast of Triton's shell and the pilot's whistle, and discharging her ordnance, till she had reached the table. Certain officers of the Court received the cargo of sweet meats in crystal vessels, curiously painted with gold and azure, and representing various fishes. While the mimic) ship was unlading, Anon, sitting upon the prow, shaped like the fabled dolphin, struck his harp, at which haut boys, violins, and flutes continued to join, till the music deepened into a full concert. When the banquet had ended, thanksgiving was pronounced by the Bishop or Chaplain; then the 139th Psalm was sung, in seven parts, by fourteen voices ; and finally, at the sound of Triton's shell and the pilot's whistle, the ship weighed anchor, and made sail, till she had got outside the hall. Such was the concluding scene of this brilliant, but strange mixture of Christian devotion and Pagan panto mime. The hull of the vessel is still preserved in the chapel, now the armoury of the fortress. It is impossi ble, on perusal of this gorgeous but whimsical. ceremony, not to observe the painful contrast it offers to that which accompanied the monarch himself, when his ill-fated mo ther presented him at the same altar.

THE HAIGH COLLIERS.—We have heard that an arrangement has been made, on the part of the Earl of Balcarras, with the colliers in the employ of his Lord ship at the Haigh Collieries, near _Wigan. It is said, but we know not how accurately, that his Lordship's agent has atFeed to waive the proposed reduction in their wages, provided the men will consent to remain out till a full week after the disappearance of the frost, after whieh they might resume their work at the rate of wages they were recently receiving. To this proposition, it-is said, the colliers have acceded. We understand that his Lordship's stock of coal is at present considerable. — Manchester Guardian. SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COM PANY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin—You will, I feel assured, permit me to amend a mistake of some importance in your notice of the Gene ral Meeting of this Company, on Monday, the 24th inst. The Directors, by a resolution of the Proprietors in 1839, were required to proceed with the works so soon as the first call should be paid on five-sixths of the shares then subscribed for. A Proprietor, on Monday, urged that the Directors had commenced before this prescribed number of pay ments had been attained. I therefore showed, not (as your reporter appears to hare understood) that " 480 shares were paid upon for the last call;" but that, even allowing the objector his own figures for the calculation, the preseribed number upon the first call had been more than attained before the works were commenced, and that at the present mo ment that number was exceeded by 480 shares. I may mention that the object of the meeting was, not to raise an additional 100,000/., but to alter the mode of raising 100,0001. of the Company's present capital. I hare, &c.

SIR,—As the Session of Parliament is drawing nigh, I beg, as one suffering under the Provision-laws (the protection of the aristocracy), to suggest to the illus trious visitors now in this country a clear evidence of the misery now existing in this metropolis, and to prove to her Majesty that Corn-law opponents are not actuated by factious motives in their agitation on the subject, by all persons starving and out of employment greeting their amiable mistress with the cry "Fre: Trade, and More Bread," on'the occasion of the Houses assembling. All avenues to the Palace are so strictly guarded, as the memorials and addresses on the subject lately pre sented fully testify ; they only being allowed to meet her eye through the rat Secretary of the Home Department.

' The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, usele.., and even bad books. With the force •f this prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled Manhood ;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully te satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to tke character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu able. —Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing a series of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex • tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tion in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed ;and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common canoes, sueli as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, itc., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfaetory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought t o as favourable a termination as any ether class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitled " Manhood," itc., to the eareful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as wel as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statesman. Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith -street, Soho-square, London. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their eases.—As to the duration of the com plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occu pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac companied by the usual consultation fee of 11. without which, no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in *Wises the most inviolable teensy may be relied on.

Morning Chronicle, December 21, 1841. We have had occasion to commend the extraordinary diligence and accuracy shown in getting up the " Post-office Directory" for former years, and no less praise is due to the publication of the present asinine. It contains the same immense snass of information relative to the metropolis, which renders the work one of thA most astonishing monuments of the greatness of London that can well be conceived. This information app•ars classified, distributed and arranged in a variety of ways so as to make the facility of reference nearly perfect. The corrections necessary from the rhenges 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 consi deration of the publie ; and, in fact, it must be regarded as indis pensable in every house or office where business is trans acted. To those, if there be any, who have not sren it, it will c.ovey the bast notion of the variety of its contents to say, that the single volume of 1,500 pages contains a Streets' Directory —Trades' Directory—Law IDirectory—C.ty—Parliamentary CourtA—P•3tage— Banking —and Official and Conveyance Directories—each a large work, and complete in itself ; though the whale are requisite to a publication which professes to be a Directory for London.

On our reference from time to time to the Post-office Direc tory of 1641, we felt convinced that nothing could have been produced more perfect for the purposes for which the huge compilation was designed ; it appears, however, we were mis taken. The thick volume before us is vastly superior to the last., and is unquestionably " the most complete work of the kind ever published ;" the information is so judiciously classi fied that although it exten ds o v er some fift een hundred large , closely printed pages, every depardtrnent of the compilation might be consulted in a fete secon ds. It is surprising how such a mass of intelligence can have beed collected and ar ranged so accurately, expeditiously, and cheaply, neither of which could of course he a ccomplished withou t the extensive and peculiar resources of the General Post -office.
