The following Reviews of the ;Work have already appeared;— Timus, Dec. 4, 1844. ) As far as utility is concerned no volume can exceed the claims of the Directory to.universal patronage. Though it is of great bulk, it contains nothing that is superfluous, and is an exception to the general rule, that a great book is a great evil. This is the 49th volume of the series. It contains several useful additions to its immediate predecessor, more particularly in that portion called the " Postal Directory," and, as compared with the first volume, published nearly half a century ago, it shows an immense increase of information, and may be considered as an index of the history of the vast increase of London, Westminster, and the suburbs. A work of this kind, combining the most extensive and at the same time the most accurate information of the residences, trades, pro fessions, &c., of 500,000 people, the names of hundreds of streets and squares, arranged with such clearness of order, and so com prehensive as to direct the whole populaticn where to find each other, and in what manlier to carry on the intercourse by letters, messengers, &c., is amongst the benefits which the progress of printing has conferred of late years, and ought to be appreciated in a way commensurate to itsmerits by the public. It affords a check to imposture, a facility to intercourse, and a guide to useful intelligence. In a word, the cost of this book can scarcely be better laid out than in its purchase. MORNING CIIRONICLE, Nov. 15, 1844. We have just received a copy of the above work, the nature and value of which must be well known to all our readers. A very cursory examination of it clearly shows that there has been a considerable increase in all its various contents or departments, and, as far as we have been able to test it, it does not appear that this increase has been made by any sacrifice of accuracy. Besides all the departments which appeared in the former publications of this work, we find that in the present volume there are several new chapters. All these appear to have been prepared with great care, and furnish a valuable addition to the Directory, and this has been done—notwithstanding the greatly-increased size of the volume— without any additional charge; as the proprietors state that they rely upon an increased sale to compensate them for the additional outlay. We believe that this work, at the present time, has no com petitor, and certainly, considering the evident care with which it has been prepared, and the high reputation which it so deservedly bears for accuracy, together with its cheapness, we do not think that a competitor would have any chance of success, or—contrary to the general rule—that the public would derive the slightest ad. vantage from any such competition. Moasallo POST, Nov. 16, 1844. This work, by far the most valuable of the annual class, has made its appearance at au earlier period of the year than usual. Though in advance of time, the compilers and printers have been so active that all the alterations usually introduced or expected have 'been effected. The " Parliamentary" and the " Official Directory" bear evidence that the latest changes have been noted. The large Map of London also, prefixed to the volume, has all the' new streets and recent improvements carefully marked; and in the Railway Tables and "Conveyance Directory," the same attention to correct the work to the latest possible date is apparent. Every village, as well as every town in England and Wales, having a post-office is duly stated, with the time of arrival and departure of the London letters. No book of reference of the kind could be more complete. MOHNING HERALD, NOV. 19, 1844. The edition for 1845 of this very useful work has just been issued. The usefulness of the volume, as well as the immense labour that must have been expended in completing it, will be best judged of from a brief enumeration of its contents. The fist portion of the work comprises a list of the hotels and convenient inns throughout England and Wales, with the names of the occu pants and the population according to the census of 1841. This, which extends over seventeen pages of small but clear type, he treble columns, is succeeded by the " Official Directory," which commences with an alphabetical list of persons holding situa tions under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank of England, and the various law, city, and all other public offices, and is followed by the division of the above into their proper departments, where the names of the offices are again given. This portion of the work is very faithfully compiled, and extends over about fitly pages. Next comes a list of the principal thoroughfares of the metropolis, with a direction to the post.office nearest to each thoroughfare. The more bulky portion of the work follows—the " Street Direc tory,'' and extends over nearl y 500 pages. The " Commercial and Pro f ess i ona l Directory" succeeds, occupying also nearly 500 pages ; then the " Trades Dir ector y ," of u p wards of 450 pages ; the " Law Directory'' of some 70 pages; the " Court Directory" of nearly lOU pages ; a statistical account of the metrop olis ; the " City Di. " Conveyance Directory" of some 120 pages ; the tDheirectory" of 140 pages; and the " Assurance three. I:,eßctaonrky Banking tory" of some 40 pages. The typographical character of the volume Is as commendable as the fulness and faithfulness of the work itself. MORNING ADVERTISER, Nov. 15, 1844. This work, which has now stood the test of public opinion for nearly half a century, has just appeared. The edition for the pre. sent year having been all sold, it became necessary to supply the void thus occasioned, and the result has been the production of the work at this early period. Notwithstanding the rapidity with which it has passed through the press, its general accuracy has been carefully preserved. It is ready wonderful how so vast a m ass of matter can be compiled so accurately and so well. We have looked through the pages of the " Directory" with the view of ti i ts c orrectness, and we are bound to sa y , tha t in no one in. stance could we find even the slightest ground to impugn its con summate fidelity.

SUN, Nov. 14, 1844, This work has now reached its forty-sixth annual publication, and latterly it has been brought out on such a comprehensive, cor. mt, and extensive system, that it has driven all competitors from the field. The " Postal Directory," which has been compiled with great care, furnishes complete instruction as to the dispatch of letters and newspapers to all parts of the world ; and the list of the princi. pal places in England and Wales has been greatly enlarged. There is also a useful notice respecting the obliterating stamps used at the post.office, with the list of the towns and the respective figures prefixed, which shows at once the place where the letter is posted, and thereby remedies a very common defect—the illegibility of the country post.office mark of the town. Besides these, there are several other improvements which contribute materially to the convenience of consulting a work so multifarious, and which contains not fewer than 1,980 pages of close, but very distinct, letter-press. This Directory is, perhaps, the most complete manual of the kind ever published. WEEKLY DISPATCH, Nov. 17, 1844. The" Post Office London Directory," which is published by the Messrs. Kelly, of Old Boswell.court, is now before us. This edi tion for 1845, contains a vast increase of useful matter when corn. pared with former ones. One Important department now added, is that which gives an official return of the amount of the circula tion of notes by all private and joint-stock banks. Another divi. sion of the work affords the most minute description of the extent and population of London. The size of the volume is greatly in. creased, and it is now decidedly the best, most comprehensive, and most useful work of the kind ever issued from the press. BRITANNIA, Nov. 16, 1844. This pyramid of the publishing world comes out this year with increased claims to public favour. But it is a pyramid only in its vaitness, its substance, and the Immense labour employed to put it together. Instead of being the sepulchre of one man it is the hive of a living million, a vast storehouse of facts, a library of commer cial instruction, what fur the year the Times newspaper is for the day—a publication that no other city of the world could or can produce. There is no item of information which can by possibility be supposed to be contained in a " London Directory" that is not to be found in this. The work is perfect and complete of its kind, and as such we recommend it to the notice of the commercial world, though, indeed, by this time its merits are so well known that it needs little recommendation of ours. SPECTATOR, Nov. 16, 1844. , Although this immense volume is now, we believe, literally no. rivalled, the absence of a competitor does not seem to have relaxed exertion or to have stopped extension. On the contrary, the book has grown with the growth of London, and we have the most com plete exhibition of a great city that perhaps ever was made; in its three grand phases of " Street Directory,'' where you are ignorant of the name but know it when you see it—" Commercial," " Law," or " Official Directory," where, street unknown and name not re. membered, you may hunt out a man by his vocation—or in the re gular alphabetical list of persons it gives at a reference to an indi vidual whose name is present. " Court," " Parliamentary," " Banking," " Conveyance," " Assurance," " Postal," and other Directories for the distinct grades of society or important branches in the business of life, render the exhibition still more complete. A wonderful work is the " Post Office London Directory;" and, so far as we have taken steps to test it, wonderfully correct. Jon s Butt, Nov. 23, 1844. This " monster volume" is really a curiosity in its way. When we turn over its two thousand closely.printed pages, and reflect upon the enormous mass of infornaation which these pages contain —information prepared with a degree of accuracy which is quite Marvellous, together with its complete and comprehensive character (for nothing is omitted which any person Can possibly wish to end), GLOBE, Nov. 16, 1844. The claims to public patronage of this most elaborate and well. arranged Directory have been so fully established, as to render any notice of it almost an act of supererogation. In addition to the extensive and varied information by which this work was already distinguished, we find in the volume for 1845, a considerable quan. tity of new and appropriate matter, arranged under various heads. All this has been done—notwithstanding the greatly increased size of the volume—without any additional charge. The yearly outlay of capital required to produce the work must be immense; the reward of the enterprise and labour will, we trust, be in proper. Lion to it. HEREPATR'S RAILWAY AND COMMERCIAL ADVERTIIER, Nov. 16, 1844. - - How such a mass of information was ever brought together, even in the 1,900 large pages of this volume, it is difficult to imagine, even though we take into account that to effect it, has tasked the ample resources of its owners for a series of years. The result, however, is that a commercial book of reference has been produced worthy of the commercial capital of the world. The high charactek of the Post Office Directory has given it a place in every house of real business ; indeed, not to possess it is to be without information to which every man in the United Kingdom commercially employed hou:d have ready access. In the " Conveyance Directory" the matter connected with Railways is full and recent. Within our space (numeration of the various subjects cannot. be attempted, nor can such be requisite. It can be only necessary of a work so universally known to say, that the number of the Post Office London Directory for 1 845 is by far the best and most complete edition of the work which has ever been produced. Higher praise it would be difficult to bestow. The Map with which the book is accompanied, entitled " Modern London and its Environs," is an entirely new one, and one of the beet plans of the Metropolis we have yet seen. RAILWAY REGISTER, Dec. 1, 1844. There are few men of business who do not take in the " Post Office Directory," and to such, an enumeration of its contents is almost valueless; but for those who do not, it may be as well to make some further remarks, and the more so, as it only needs an acquaintance with that work to be convinced of its intrinsic value and great utility. There ate some offices where the expenditure for a new Directory is grudged on the ground that it is laying out money for what they do not want, and they grub on without a " Post Office Directory." or with only one of Pigot's or Robson's superannuated Directories. A sharp, acute man of business would, however, just as soon be persuaded to part with his inkstand as with his "Post Office Directory," for it not merely saves more than its cost in time, but it is a valuable instrument for carrying on business. As a means of ready reference it is valuable, as a man's name, residence, and occupation are •oon found, and a re ference to an old Directory will show how long he has been en. gaged in such pursuits, and furnish prima-facial evidence as to respectability. This is so well understood in proper quarters, that on such matters the " Post Office Directory" will be found quoted in the leading articles of the Times, in Government and Parlia. mentary reports, and before the police and criminal courts. Does the Times, with ready sagacity, detect a swindling firm trying to prey •on the community—the " Post Office Directory" is • immediately appealed to, to show that the pseudo firm is not to be found enrolled in its columns. It would appear inexplicable that a day register of this kind should be . found playing such an important part is the com mercial community, if it were not well ascertained that its con. ductors display the, greatest energy and accuracy in car rying out their undertaking. The return of the circulation of country banks prefixed to the "Banking Directory" is the best which has yet appeared, and the only ciigest of the Population Returns, applying to the metropolis, is the one in the "City Di rectory," which gives the population and income-tax of each parish in the metropolis, and a laborious analysis of the occupations of the population, deduced from the Census of 1841. Were this work more carefully looked to in country places, the swindling bill and other firms would find a little more difficulty in carrying out their nefarious pursuits. In conclusion, we say, When you want anything, always look in the Post Office Directory." ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 23, 1844. Twenty years have made a strange alteration in the bulk of this almost indispensable Directory. Well do we remember the mean, spare volume of other days, with its long lines of large type, and its shabby sheepskin binding; in place of which we have here a ponderous large octavo volume, of some 1,900 pages, of two and three columns each, of small type, comprising "inter alia," direc tories, " Official," " Stieet," " Commercial," " Law," " Court," " Parliamentary," " Postal," " City," " Conveyance," " Bank ing"--thus combining the advantages of the old " Directory" with those of the " Court Guide"—the east with the west—and corn. prising all the information which the merchant or trader, or any other London resident or visitor, can reasonably expect to find i and by excellent classification and arrangement, any portion of this information may be found without difficulty. Among other addi tions, we perceive some important and interesting statistics of Lon don—as the area in acres, population, and assessment, and a state ment from the Occupations' Abstract of the Census of 1841. The " Directory" is, in fine, as complete as untiring industry and vi. gilance can make it; for they have uniformly kept pace with the increase of the number and extent of our metropolitan and national establishments and interests.

THE RIVAL LINES TO YORK. We have observed with surprise a statement appa rently put for:h by the supporters of the London and York line, as contradistinguished f rom th e Di rect Northern Line, which labours under the objection of being both a suppressio reri and a suggestio falsi. It relates to the comparative distances of certain towns on the route to York, which it endeavours to show are greatly favourable to the London and York scheme. We have only to remark, as neutral and impartial judges, that this statement, copied from the Doncaster Gazette, compares the distances, not upon the trunk lines of both railways, but upon the trunk and lateral line of the London and York, •and only upon the trunk of the Direct Northern. When the contest lies between the merits of the two main lines, it is unfair, if not dishonest in the extreme, to employ such an unworthy subterfuge. The huge, expensive, un wieldy, lateral line, got up by the Leeds and Man chester Company, in conjunction with the London and York, is a totally disconnected scheme, which must stand or fall by itself. The following table of the exact distances will disabuse the public mind of any erroneous impression which it may have received, and convince the terminal population that their para mount interests will be sacrificed if this lateral line be allowed to affect, improperly, the direct principle.

The two other men who were seriously injured by the poachers are brothers, named Compton, residing at the village of Kempsey, between Worcester and Croeme. They are in a fair way of recovery. We have just heard that one of the poachers, named Turvey, has been captured by the police. A reward of 501. has been offered by the Earl of Coventry's steward for the apprehension and conviction of the parties concerned in this outrage, and in the printed notices issued to this effect it is intimated that an application will be made to the Secre tary of State for a free pardon fur any accomplice who may be the means of bringing his confederates to ,j us Me. THE LATE FATAL STEAM-BOAT COLLISION. CLOSE OF THE INQUEST. The inquiry into the circumstances attending the late fatal collision off Greenwich between the Orwell and Sylph steam-boats was resumed on Monday be fore Mr. J. C. Carttar, coraner for Kent. Mr. Wilkinson (of the firm of Cobbold and Wilkin son), and Mr. Cattarns (of the firm of Cattarns and Fry), attended, as on the previous occasion, to watch the case. The inquest room again was densely crowded. The first witness called was Dr. Mitchell, of Greenwich, who proved, from a post mortem examination, that Sullivan died from suffocation in the water, and Shepherd from the severe injuries h© had sustained about the head and body. Commander Ilenry Smith, of her Majesty's steam frigate Rattler, being sworn, said I was a passenger on board the Sylph, on the afternoon of Tuesday week, and was standing abaft the engine-room when that vessel left the Greenwich pier on her way towards Blackwall. The weather was so thick at that time that I was induced to remain on deck. There was a man in the bows looking out forward After proceed. ing a short distance I heard the noise of a steamer ap proaching us. I looked out forward, but saw nothing. Immediately afterwards the man on the look out said somethin,s to the captain, when he ca ll e d ou t " St op h er, go astern. I then saw a large steamer bearing down upon us, at about twenty-five yards distance. At that time a collision was inevitable, and when the captain saw the large vessel so close to him, he folded his arms and said, '6 By God, it is all over with us!" I could not see the shore on either side at that time. When the collision took place the motion of the Sylph was quite stopped, and if a boat had been under her bows we should not have injured her. I am of_ opinion that the speed was on the Orwell when the collision occurred. She must have been going at a good speed, because she cut quite through the deck of the Sylph, and from the position in which the latter was, it was impossible that she could have contributed much force t o th e co lli s i on . _ _ Mr. Cattarns here produced two models of the boats, that of the Sylph showing the extent of the injury she had sustained by the collision. Examination continued—l am decidedly of opinion that the Sylph was motionless when the collision took place. Had the Orwell put her helm astarboard as the Sylph did, no accident would have occurred. I think the Sylph was going down the river much quicker than a prudent captain would have brought her, considering the fog which prevailed ; and I am of the same opinion as to the speed at which the Or well was coming up. In such a state of the weather there should be some regulation to prevent vessels from proceeding at more than half speed. My im pression was, that we were travellinc , much quicker than we ought to have been and I on deck in consequence, fearing th e possibility of an accident. After the collision I remained on the quarter deck of the Sylph until all the deck passengers were got off, when I went on board the Orwell. I then called out to the man in charge to back astern and get the two vessels clear, as I saw that the people were prevented from getting out of the cabin of the Sylph while the vessels hung together. By Mr. WiLaissoN—The engines of the Sylph were eased before I saw the Orwell. It was the fact of her being eased that attracted my attention, and I then looked out forward, and saw the Orwell's bows close upon us. I judge of the_ speed of the Orwell by the nature of the injuries inflicted on the Sylph. I think she must have been going eight miles an hour at least. • Capt. Smith was re-examined - by the coroner, and again questioned by Mr. Wilkinson, b u t no thi ng im portant was,elicited beyond that which is above given. He declined to give an opinion that the commander of the Orwell was to blame, and at the same time said that he thought the captain of the Sylph had done all he could to prevent accident. Mr. George Edwards, of Sutton, Suffolk, being sworn, said, I am a mariner, and was on board the Orwell when the accident occurred. I wag standing near the paddle-box, on the starboard side, when 1 saw a steam-boat ahead about one hundred yards. The vessel appeared to be across the river, with her bow a HUN downwards. I heard Capt. Wrackham give the order to stop her and hack her astern. The collision took place directly after. I do not know what speed either vessel had upon her when the acci dent occurred, but the Sylph, when I first saw her, seemed to have headway. Capt. Wrackham was for ward at the time. By Mr. Wilkinson—l was nearer to the engine room than. Captain Wrackham was. I heard no one give any order to the engineer. I could have done so had any one spoken to the call-boy. Robert Fuller, mariner, of Ipswich, said—l am a seaman on board the Orwell, and was upon the look out in the larboard bow on the afternoon of Thursday week. I first saw the Sylph when she was within fifty yards of the Orwell. I called out, " Stop her— go astern ;" but in less than a minute she s t ruc k us . I think when I first saw her she was going at full speed. The paddles were going ahead just before she struck. The Orwell had very little speed on her, and as soon as those on the look-out called out, the master in charge (*Wiggins) stopped the engines. He called out, " Stop her —go astern." The Orwell had been eased previously, and was going " quite easily" at the time. She had been eased all the way from Woolwich, and had come that distance about five or six miles an hour. We were about twenty yards from the north shore, and could see the edge of the bank very plainly. Ido not think it was possible to have avoided the collision, owing to the speed at which the Sylph was proceeding. William Pullifer, another of the crew of the Or well, gave similar evidence. William Linney, of Ipswich, another seaman on board the Orwell, said—l think that if the Sylph's helm had been ported, instead of being put a starboard, the collision might have been avoided. Very few seconds elapsed between our first seeing her and the collision taking place. By Mr. Wilkinson—lt is a general rule laid down by the Trinity-house, that when there is any danger of a collision between [two vessels, both should port their helms. Mr. William Wallace, shipbuilder, of Gravesend, a passenger on board the Sylph, confirmed the evi dence of the other passengers. My impression, he said, at the time was that the captain of the Sylph exercised great presence of mind in the position in which he was placed. By the CORONER—Had the Sylph been going pre viously at half-speed, I think the accident might have been avoided. The fog came on very thick all at once, just after we left the south shore. Henry Rogers (the call-boy on board the Orwell) proved having given the engineer orders to go " Quite easy," after leaving Blackwall, and to " Stop," just before the collision took place. Joseph Sutcliffe, the engineer in charge, deposed that on the passage up from Blackwall the engine had made about seven revolutions per minute, her full speed being from 28 to 30. He was standing by, a s usual in foggy weather, between the engines, whet he heard the order given to " Stop her," and " Gc astern." He did so, and after the engines had made two revolutions astern the collision took place, and he then shut the steam off and came on 'deck. It occu pied about 15 seconds to stop the engine and make the two revolutions astern. James 'Wiggins, a brother of the master in charge, and supercargo on board the Orwell, was next ex amined. He was at the wheel when the collision took place, and his evidence differed in' no respect from that of the other parties on board the Orwell. The CORONER remarked that he thought they had now got out all the circumstances of the case. The foreman, on the part of himself and brother jurors, said he thought they had already heard quite enough to enable them to come to a conclusion on the subject. The CORONER then commenced summing up, going through the evidence in his usually clear and perspi cuous manner. lie remarked particularly on the fact that the Sylph was shown to have been proceeding at full speed until within a very few moments of the collision taking place ; while on the other hand it was not attempted to be set up that the Orwell had pro ceeded at anything beyond a very slow rate after passing Blackwall. The jury after an absence of half an hour's dura tion, returned the following unanimous verdict—" We consider that the deceased persons met their death acci dentally ; but we are of opinion that the captain of the Sylph was highly to blame for the speed at which he had previously been going; we believe the Orwell to have been the moving power to the death of the deceased persons, but consider the parties on board that vessel used due caution, and did all they could to avoid the accident, and the jury are unanimously of opinion that Captain Sweisland should be severely repri manded by the Coroner." The verdict appeared to give general satisfaction, and Captain Sweisland was - .suitably admonished bit Mr, Carttar. THE FIRE in GUILDFORD-STREET LATEST PARTICULARS. (From our Evening Edition of Last Night.) The greatest excitement continues to prevail in the neighbourhood of the lamentable occurrence, and hundreds of persons, apparently strangers to the locality, visited the place in the course of the morning, and con tinued viewing the ruins for some time, regardless of the intense frost which has prevailed for the last few days. During the whole of yesterday a body of work men were actively engaged in clearing away the rub bish. At an early hour this morning they resumed their labours, and a great portion of the rubbish—for in truth the valuable contents of the house are nothing else— were removed into the street; but up to one o'clock, though their exertions were not relaxed in the least, the bodies of the unfortunate men who were buried in the ruins have not been discovered, nor is it likely that' they will be found until late in the afternoon or evening of to-day. Tee delay in the discovery of the bodies is mainly attributable to the immense heap under which they are buriel, and the difficulty in removing it, a great portion having to be removed almost piecemeal. The two large fire-proof iron safes, which are of im mense weight, and which contributed in a great measure to accelerate the falling of the floors, and the consequent catastrophe, were got out in the course of the morning, by the combined exertions of upwards of twenty men. Their contents, which consist of valuable plates and drawings, and other property of considerable value, were found uninjured. An immense quantity of books and plates, all of which are stated to be of extreme value, were also removed and conveyed to the new resi dence of Mr. Farey, in Regent-square. The exertions of the workmen have been mainly directed to the re moval of the burnt embers immediately adjacent to the door in the vicinity of which the bodies are believed to lie ; and they have cleared them away to within a couple of feet of the ground. A body of the E divi• sion of police, under the direction of Inspectors Dudley and Bell are in attendance, and found much difficulty in keeping the crowd out of the roadway, and from retard ing the labours of the workmen. Several ellows are hawking about a spurious account of the fire at the " small price of one halfpenny," to use their words, which meet with a ready sale to the lovers of the mar vellous. The first dozen lines relate to the fire, but the remainder relates to the late accident on the River, al though they are closely combined. It was stated in some of the newspapers of yesterday, that the firemen found a man in an insensible state of intoxi cation in the wine cellar, and it was surmised that he had accidently set the premises on fire. A stretcher was obtained, and he was conveyed to the station-house, suffiaring from the effects of the smoke and heat, and he was taken before the magistrate at Clerken well Police-office yesterday, but as it appeared that he accompanied some of the firemen into the house, for the purpose of aiding them in their endeavours to get the fire under, but having accidentally obtained access to the cellar, and having imbibed some of its contents, and be come insensible, his life, but for his accidental discovery by the firemen, would have paid the forfeit of his folly THE SURPLICE QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Snt,—You will much oblige me by inserting the inclosed in an early number of The Sun. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOHN HATCHARD. St. Andrew's Vicarage, Plymouth, Dec. 23. PARISH OF ST. ANDREW. "My dear Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of a series of resolutions passed at a meeting of the congregation worshipping in the parish church of St. Andrew,' at which you were acting as the chairman. "In compliance with the request contained at the close of the resolutions, I have felt it my duty to ad dress a letter (of which I subjoin a copy) to his Lord ship the Bishop of this diocese, urging the great ne cessity of an immediate revocation of the orders lately issued to the clergy in his pastoral letter. " Most sincerely trusting that such will be the re sult of the many meetings held in the diocese, that the service of our Church may not be interrupted by usages, which as being obsolete, have the aspect of novelties, and that peace and prosperity may yet be vouchsafed to the Church of England, as well as with the rexpression of my cordial thanks to all who took pirt in the proceedings of the late meeting, and fi,r their kind expression towards myself as their mi nister.—l am, my dear Sir, yours and their very faithful friend and obedient servant, " JOHN HATCHARD. " St. Andrew's Vicarage, Plymouth, Dec. 19, 1844. " To Captain John Conde, C. 8., R.N." " My Lord,—Upon my return to Plymouth after a few days absence, I have had forwarded to me a se ries of resolutions carried unanimously, at a meeting of the congregation worshipping in the parish church of St. Andrew. In the last of these resolutions is the expression of a hope that I, as their minister, will urge strongly on the Bishop the injury which must result by the introduction of any changes in the services of the Church.' In compliance, therefore, with this request. I trust your Lordship will not deem my expression of entire accordance with those resolutions as unfitting in the present juncture, or at variance with that high respect with which I would ever desire to approach my diocesan. "I beg most urgently to entreat your Lordship's attention to the fearful strife now introduced into our Church, chiefly by your recently-published Pastoral Letter—a strife which, unless soon allayed, will, I apprehend and believe, be the occasion of the seces sion to the ranks of Dissent, of tens of thousands of persons now thoroughly attached to the liturgy, articles, homilies, and constitution of that Church ; but who, keenly alive to the awful strides made towards Popery, as evinced in a large number of publications which have of late years issued from the press, as well as by the defection of not a few cler gymen and laymen of the apostate Church of Rome, are very apprehensive that the errors of Popery are taking such root in the Etablished Church, as will render it necessary for them to quit its pale. Such a result would, I am persuaded, occasion the deepest pain to your own mind, as well as to that of every clergyman living; but, my Lord, I know that such a flame has now been kindled, and is so extensively spreading, that, as one of your Lordship's clergy, as having for more than twenty years occupied the most important post in the diocese of Exeter, and, backed as I am by the urgent request unanimously passed at a large and respectable meeting of the mem bers of my congregation, I dare not do otherwise than most earnestly beseech your Lordship to recal the requirements recently enjoined upon your clergy, and thereby check the further spread of that feeling which has already taken possession of the minds of multitudes not only in Devon and Cornwall, but in every portion of the British empire. "My Lord, were my own personal feelings alone concerned in this matter, I should regard the use of the surplice in the pulpit as a point of such utter in significance as to be unworthy a moment's considera tion ; but seeing that vast numbers of the laity as well as of the clergy, regard it as the badge of adhe rence to Tractarian or Popish errors, and view it as the introducer of other, and perhaps far more serious evils, I cannot in the midst of my deep regret at the painful conflict now going on, do otherwise than heartily thank God that so wide-spread a manifesta tion of attachment to the great principles of the Re formation evinces itself, and that still no peace with Rome' is a feeling so strongly impressed upon the best affections of the members of the Established Church, that they will not allow the very appear ance of compromise with this great principle, without using firm, respectful, and constitutional means for its defence. " Did time permit, much could be said upon the point to which I desire thus briefly, but respectfully, to solicit your attention ; but I forbear, most earnestly praying that Divine assistance may be vouchsafed to your Lordship in this time of imminent peril to our beloved Church, as well as grace to my brethren in the ministry, and to myself in particular, not only to follow the Godly admonitions of the ordinary,' but also to be ready with all faithful diligence to banish and drive away all erroneous and strange doc trines contrary to God's ward,' and to maintain and set forward, as much as lieth in me, quietness, peace, and love among all Christian people, especially among those that are committed to my charge,' and at whose urgent request I take leave, as before the Searcher of all hearts, at whose bar both you and I shall stand, to present this my most urgent entreaty, that the wishes of these ' the flock committed to my trust' be heeded, and that thereby, through the instrumentality of their Bishop, peace and union may he restored. " I have the honour to be, your Lordship's very obedient servant, " JOHN HATCHARD. "Dec. 19, 1844, St. Andrew's Vicarage, Plymouth. " To the Bishop of Exeter." A young woman at Rouen lost her life two days ago by the following fatal error. Intending to put a spoonful of orange-flower water into a tumbler of sugar and water, she took up by mistake a bottle of nitrous acid of mercury, and put in a quantity sufficient to pro duce immediately all the symptoms of poisoning, which acted with such violence that she expired in a very few minutes.—Galignani. _ _ Why is the Polka like bitter beer ?
