This is the 45th year of the publication of this most bulky and most usefid of th e ann uals.

The new e di ion of the' most . Office London Directory' for th e ensuing year leas just been icom pleted, being the 45th annual publication. It contains the names of a vast number of new people engaged in commerce and trade of every description. No relaxation appears to have taken place in the efforts ofthe proprietors to render this a most useful and indispen sable volume: The amalgam ition of the nobility, gentry, merchants, and traders in the Street Directory' is a most eXcellent plait, and the Law Courts and Parliamentary divisions have been corrected up to the most recent possible date ; the latter, especially, are brought down to a period as recent as the Salisbury election. The. Postal Directory' contains the latest regulations, and appears to have been arranged in a form at once comprehensive and easY of reference." • • • Morning Herald, December 6, 1843 This Directory may he considered a tie plus ultra in its way. Like Aaron's rod when changed into a serpent, it has swallowed up all that resembled it, its principal antagonist, the Directory of Robson, having officially .suc mantled to its superior size and enlarged emtents. When we men tion that it contains nearly '4OOO closely pripted pages of relerence to every conceivable subject thatcan affects he necessitiei of the London resident or visitor, we have only indicateita small part of its value, which,'to be properly appreciated, inwittie examined with more minuteness than we have space to,dets..l. To one new feature we we may, however, direct aUen.tion...ais., to that part which contains the Postal Directory,' where a digest will be found, compiled from the mr , st authentic sources, of the recent treaties with foreign Powers. The list entitled Universal Rates of Postage' is a most successful attempt to produce them in a form at once comprehensive and easy of reference. Kelly's Directory is, indeed, not only the largest that we have ever seen, but, without question, the mo s t p er f ec t." Morning Advertiser, December 8, sis.—" The 45th annual pub lication of this most, useful work 11,s just appeared, and, having made a careful examination of its contents, we feel it to be an act of justice to the proprietor to say that the statement made in the preface as to the great exertions which have been mule to render the edi tion for 1814 worthy of the largest commercial city in. the world, is fully borne out. Great additioni have been made in the present edition as compared with it.; immediate predecessor, albeit the latter itself was on so vast a scale. The increase applies Chiefly to the Street,' Commercial,' 'Trades," Law,' and Court' Directories. It would be difficult, indeed, to give an idea of the gigantic propor tions now a•sumed by the Directory, and, as for the accuracy with with which it is compiled, all we can say is, that, after testing it, as already descril:ed, we have not been able to discover one single mis take.

Weekly Dispatch, December 10, 1843.—" The excellent manner in which, for years past, this Directory ha, been conducted, has 'at length entirely superseded its contemporary, ' Robson's London Di rectory;' but although the managers have no competitor to stimu. late their exertions for superiority, they have not ceased to devote their beat exertions to justify the patronage they have received, and in the number just published for the forthcoming year, we find that the 'Street Directory' is largely increased, and that it has an en. tirely new feature—viz., tables of the universal rates of postage, compiled from official sources, comprehending an easy reference of the postal arrangements contained in the treaties with foreign Powers. This, and other information which the work contains, could only be obtained by those who possess the same advantages as the gentlemen who manage the' Post-office Directory,' and so long as they continue to devote the same care and attention to the work that they, have hitherto done, their labours will be appreciated and rewarded by the public." Globe, December 7, Ix4&—"The present handsome volume, to which a large Plan of London is prefixed, and which unites the characters of a City and Court Directory, must be acknowledged to be worthy, in the comprehensiveness of its contents, of the greatest centre of wealth and commerce in the world. It is stated in the preface that 40,000 names appear in this volume, which either have not been in print at all, or not at the same addresses; and that the 'Street Directory,' which in the edition of 1843 was comprised in 366, in the present volume extends to 466 pages. The ' Postal 1 iirectory' furnishes new tables of rates of postage, In con formity with the treaties lately concluded with foreign Powers. On the whole, the volume is the most complete collection of local infor. mation that ever before was adapted to wants so enormous in local range." Britannia, December 9,1843.—" This wonderful volume—for truly wonderful it is in every respect—i 4 this year augmented to near 2,000 pages, and, what we do not always find to be the case, its value is in creased in greater proportion than its bulk. '1 he merit and use fulness of any work of this kind depend very greatly on the com pleteness of its details, and on its comprising all the information which the merchant, trader, or any other person engaged in business in London can reasonably expect to find ; and, by extensive addi tions, and the most laborious attention to minute details, this Direc tory is now made so perfect, accurate, and comprehensive, as to leave, as we imagine, no room for the exercise of further ingenuity in the way of improvement. Every department has been so enlarged as to render it certain that the required - information will be found, and the system of classification is so well digested and carried Into detail, that, large as the volume is, any single name, or any item of intelligence, .embodied in its multifarious contents, may be found without an instant's loss of time. Another merit is, that the information required is never given imperfect. If,. for instance, you look for the name of any banker in the United Kingdom, you will not only find it with the proper address, but also with the house added with which it has connections in London. So in every other department; you miss nothing you want, and find much you could not reasonably expect. Among the judicious im provements of this year are the addition of 20,000 new names ; a valuable enlargement of .the ' Conveyance Directory,' which now comprehends every kind of transit made up to the latest date, and the most recent regulations in the Post Office, with tables of the new sates of &reign postage. In its complete shape, with an exce'. lent map, a dozen directories in one, with every dwelling in the metropolis and suburbs marked, with the name of every house. holder recorded, and the occupation of every merchant and trader defined, it presents an example of what may be effected by the union of enterprise, capital, skill, and industsy when they have the dissec tion of a city like Landon for their object, and the certainty of its universal patronage for their rewar taintY. because in truth the volume is a public boon, and n . ry „ to - attpefsons engaged . 4...pe4er in trade as the commonest implements of he counting-house or the shop, as a day-book, for instance, or ail Inkstand.. Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, December 14, 1843.-..“ This huge annual has again made its appearance. The volume for 1844 is larger than the last. This is caused in part by the late increase of buildings is London, but in a greater degree by additions to its use fulness. The Commercial, Court, Street, and other Directories are considerably enlarged, and so classified as to cause no loss of time in th T e h r e eprsentationnamei y, c re h f a e n r g en e. ce in . 'Parliamentary Directory' embraces the latest bury. The . Postal Directory' furnishes new tables of ratep of post. those of the City and Sails age, in conformity with the recent treaties with foreign Powers. Besides the Banking. Conveyance, and Official Directories the coun. try inns throughout the provinces are indeed, every kind of information that it is possible to ex given; is liedsupp in yet in such a work . the ' Post-office London Directory, - A proof of the importance of this monster book is that it annihilates all rivalry. Its presence, like that of Polypbeme, is a signal f or the disappearance of allwho venture upon the same ground; for we learn from a memorandum attached , to the volume that the Propriet ors of Robson's London Directory' have declared their inability to compete with the Post-office volume, and have consequently ceased to publish it. Thus the metropolitan, like the pastoral monster, has dung the fatal rock upon its most formidable rival. We should not f orget to name that the voluire. before us is prefaced by a good modern map of London." Herapath's Journal, Decemb er 9, 1843—"" Of the extraordinary pro d u ctions of the present day, probably this is the one most calcu lated to excite astonishment. th ese If - ignorant of the mysteries of typography are puzzled to think how it has been accomplished, all accustomed to literary labour, and therefore able to appreciate the difficulties of the task, must be infinitely more so. The various classifications have been well considered. Of all the merits of this— it may be fairly termed—National Directory, not the least is the ex treme clearness and simplicity of its arrangement ; larger than the largest ordinary work of the kind, it can throughout be consulted with the same facility as a dictionary. This has been effected by judicious sub-division appropriate headings—good indices—and s t r ict alphabetical arrangement The book is divided into twelve subjects, each complete in itself, and yet all more or less connected with each other. We will take the first:—An arrangement of all the inhabitants of every street, square, court, and place within the metropolis, and for some miles rou nd, from Clapham to Ball's-pond, and from Stratford to Not ting-hill. This list is, as, indeed, may be said of very many others in the volume, unique. It gives the inhabitants of every place, nobility and gentry, merchants and shopkeepers, all at one view. This is a thing that, for obvious reasons, no other work has attempted A description of the locally is likewise fur nished, and as in each street those which intersect it are accurately described, the entire, as well as being a copious Directory, partakes of the character of a general map. We have heard before of Mr. M'Adam, the colossus of roads; but this may be truly called the colossus of streets. Had such a thing been in existence after the fire of London, a general and avail a bl e reg i stry o f property would have been at hand, and, should It happen that a copy survive the metropolis it so well describes, the future historian or statistician might from its psges obtain an excellent idea of the wealth, extent, and magnificence of the greatest commercial city the world has yet s en, and of the pursuits of its inhabitants. We observe that in the Conveyance Directory several thousand new places have been intro duced, with all the newest railway informath.n. The cost of the production of such a book must have been enormous, and to repay the energetic proprietors the sale must be very great indeed. Of this there can, however, be little doubt, as in any . place of real business it cannot he dispensed with without continued inconvenience." for the Mining Journal, December 9, 1843,—" This Directory forthcoming year, evidences the exercise of indefatigab le research in the procuration e of an immense mass of valuable information, so as to and of great talent in its classification and arrangement, tote of the utmost use, and readily available. It presents a comp Post-office vade mecum, and abounds in particulars of such ie office univer sal importance as to become an indispensable requisite for t d rfect of the banker, merchant, or tradesman. The accuracy an . Pe and arrangement of this work are deserving of the highsst praise, the sale must indeed be considerable to comp ensate for the expense and labour entailed on its production." . I.—" This immense volume still con tinues Spectator, December 9, 1.,4 addition of adding to its facts and information, though the addi mg new features seems to have stopped at present fr o m t h e exhaustion of subjects. To what extent additional minutia are added, may be guessed by upwards of seer p ages more of large and closely-printed matter being given in the present volume." John Bull, Dec:mber 23, 1813.—" Nothing less than a ' Monster Review' could do complete justice to this' Monster Volume,' which is indeed a remarkable monument of labour, industry, and accuracy. Among an almost indefinite number of other useful things, it com prises a complete . Official Directory,* 'Street Directory," Com mercial Directory," Trades Directory,' ' Llw Directory," Court Directory,' Postal Directory,' ' City Directory,' ' Conveyance Directory,' Banking Directory,'&c. In shoit there is nothing con. nected with this huge metropolis in the way of direction which will not be found here. It is mentioned that 40,000 names appear in this volume, which either have not been- in print at all, or not at the same addresses, while the ' Street Directory,' which last year was comprised in 366 pages, now occupies 438 pages. In the ' Postal Directory,' the latest regulations have been arranged iu the past headed' Universal Rates of Postage,' in a form at once comprehen sive and easy of reference. " The Sentinel, December 30, 1843. —. We were surprised to see, by an advertisement, that so old a favourite as ' Robson's-Directory' was to be discontinued; but after an examination of the Post-office Directory for 1844, we should be equally astonished if any book of the same class could be found successfully to compete with it, there being upwards of 1,900 Pages of imperial octavo, closely printed, containing No t only more than 100,000 names. does its bulk give an idea of the enormous increase of the metropolitan population, but the many improvements in its arrangements are such as t o i mpart the most important facilities in t he expeditious dispatch of business. The discontinuance of the practice of making class distinctions in the ' Street Lists' will be found a great convenience. The information given on the subject of the Post-office arrangements has been greatly simplified, while the Map of London, which accompanies the work, and which has been prepared expressly for it, extends to a radius in cluding the immense suburbs of the metropolis, with its most recent improvements."

The manifold advantages to the Heads of Families from tht possession of a medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick ness, occurring in families snore or less every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every house holder in the kingdom.

My sense of smelling was entirely gone, and the most agreeable perfume or the most intolerant stench were equally indifferent to rne. I have had the advice of several surgeons and medical mon, both in this town and others, but without the least benefit, and I had dispaired of ever again regaining my health, in fact my life was becoming burdensome to me, until I fortunately heard of the many cures which your valuable Pills had effected. I purchased a box of Mr. Woodward, druggist, and before I had taken the whole I was completely cured, and have never experienced the slightest symptoms of its return.

The earliest copy of the work has been but one month issued, and the following reviews have appeared in the leading metropolitan journals : Sun, December 7,1813.—" The present number extends to 1,899 pages, and embraces a more comprehensive detail of the vast ma. chinery which London exhibits than any work of the kind yet pub lished.

A slight glance at the index will show what a vast field is included in this multifarious work. We there find the following headings, and sub joined to these are branches extending to every department :—Court of Chancery, Admiralty, Army Agents, Assurance Companies, Banking Directory, City Directory, Commercial and Professional Directory, Conveyance Directory, Court Directory, Deck Companies, Law Directory, Parliamentary Directory, Postal Directory, Public Companies, Railways, Street Directory, Trades Directory, Universal Rates of Postage, and, in short, every species of information that not only men of business, but persons in all ranks of life, in the country as well as in London, will find of great service in their daily transactions, It would be tedious to give specimens of the manner in which this valuable publication has been arranged, and we may therefore say that, as regards the Street Directory,' the Postal Directory,' and 're Conveyance Directory,' without including the varied information on almost every commercial transaction, it is the most copious and correct work of the kind yet published."

RAILWAYS. • It has been stated that the applications to Par liament, this session, for Railway Bills, will be more numerous than they have been in any year since . 1830 ; that the lines to which the contemplated Bills relate extend 600 miles in length, and that the pros jectors are so confident of carrying their Bills as to have already, in their eagerness to commence pro ceedings, entered into contracts for the formation of these railways, at an expense, including stations, of 10,0001. per mile. We have so much reason to eon fide in the general authenticity of this statement, as to feel it our duty to direct the earliest attention of the public to the important considerations • which connect themselves with the facts which it com prises. Could any argument more cogent be adduced for the necessity of that preliminary controll ing and economical legislation touching the com mencement and construction of new railways, which the public convenience has so long and so vainly de manded ? The public convenience—emphatically, it is—which is immediately and most deeply involved in these projects for enlarging and multiplying the lines of intercommunication between important pro vincial towns and the capital, or the capital and the coast—with whatever, as yet, undetermined, because future practical results, certainly not without an ex pense to the public at large of very grave present inconvenience—of serious prejudice to private pro perty under certain circumstances—and of the dis placement of a large amount of existing facilities and accommodation for travelling. It is hardly necessary, at this time, to guard our -selves against misconstruction by reiterating the con viction we have so often expressed as to the magical effects of the extension of railroad communication,. wherever it- is extensively diffused throughout a country. It removes, or rather counteracts the physical—and overcomes the moral—obstacles, which. the remoteness of given points from the general centre of intelligence and refinement would other wise ;present to the prompt spread of the knowledge, 'and arts, and civilization there collected. It is the great extirpator of local prejudices. It is the in forming power which animates the extremities with .the same vitality and energy that throb in the. heart of a nation's social system. It brings the dwellers 'in the North into habitual and easy contact with those of the South; and to the long segregated po pulation of the East, introduces, as it were without 'effort or difficulty, their brethren of the West. It *erases the frontier lines described by geographical 'or political divisions ; and with them—by certain but irresistible degrees—the antagonistic feelings which have grown up on either side of those lines. It approximates distances by a marvellous abridg ment of the time which it would heretofore have re quired to traverse them. For these, and other ;obvious reasons, railroads are among the most 'efficient and valuable administrators,' not merely to `the sum or mass of human intelligence and happiness, but to its distribution "and the distribution o f go o d is as difficult a problem in the economy of ethics, 'as the distribution of money is in our monetary. 'system. But even the establishment of railways is not an unmixed good. If it drives out of the field one monopoly of travelling on the high road by coaches, it establishes another, and a stringent one, on its own un.competable lines. It annihilates altogether the facility of moving from any nne intermediate point to another on these high roads or their vicinity, which are not within the easy reach of rai lwa stations. It sacrifices; wherever it appears, a vast portion of property previously invested in hotels and inns, stabling, public stage-coach es horses fo r th e i r various relays, posting houses, and the cattle em ployed by them, together with the business of so many coach-makers, spring manufacturers, white smiths' saddlers, harness maker s , f orage growers and dealers ; a numerous array of shop keepers, and inferior chapmen (all interested in the investments of capital under the old system), the farmers of turnpike trusts and the unfortunate holders of securities upon tolls. These mischiefs, extensive and various as they are, it may be urged are still but partial ones ; for that, on a comparison of good and evil, of pulpit advantage and disadvantage, the balance is clearly in favour of railroads. We may grant all this ; and concede the corollary—that there fore the evil occasioned by the establishment of rail roads must be accepted as an inevitable consequence ;of the conditions on which only they can be estab lished. But other evils, not inevitable consequences, not necessary results of those conditions, have crept in :with the laying down of our existing railroads, ,the experience of which justifies us in assum ing that, with regard to any lines hereafter to- be constructed, they may be clearly avoided by adopting such a previous system of legislation, for the :economic control and direction of their original esta blishment as that to which we have alluded in the out set. We should be the last to advocate any unneces sary intervention, either by the Government or the Legislature, with any investments of private capital in this country that are permissible by the of the land. But, railroads are a species of public works sui generis. If they succeed, their advantages and the benefit their proprietors derive from them, cannot be, as hs .almost every other undertaking, interfered with or jeopardised by the competition of other par ties in the same object, and over the same ground. The Parliament will not grant to two separate com panies power to purchase the fee simple as it were,' of parallel' strips of freehold throughout so many -miles of country, in order to run their lines from and to neighbouring termini. Separate companies—two or more, would not be found to subscribe a million or two, each, of capital in so vast and desperate an experiment of competi tion, were Parliament even to grant them the neces sary powers. But private dealers or gentlemen may start this week the finest and the best horsed public conveyances to be found in Europe, to run through out an entire line of 100 miles ; and next week a 'few Jews may combine their capital, and produce an or ganised opposition of well-appointed coaches, hand some teams, &c., for the very purpose of being , " bought off the road," as it is termed, by the original parties, at a heavy sum. If their predecessors on the line do not consent to embarrass themselves by clos ing with the exorbitant proposals of their " opposi tion," the latter " run" against them; and then the contest is continued a roulrance till one of the parties gives in. Sometimes, indeed, both are utterly ruined,- leaving to their creditors, out of the wreck of a large property sacrificed in this insane sort of emulation ' a dividend neither larger nor more valuable tha n the tips of the tails of the Kilkenny cats, of combative memory. In the debates of the House of Commons during Lord Morpeth's Irish Secretaryship, it was well shown what ought to be the supervision which the Legislature should exercise over the preliminary se lection and works of a few railways. Some of the propositions then made were finally adopted-and have passed into law ; others, at least equally important were passed over. But it is not enough " that eminent engineers, civil and military, should rellest upon the practicability of a proposed li ne ; there should be better previous guarantees that it irthe best" which could be adopted for the locality Every new line ought to be sanctioned only in reference to its present, or possible, or ultimate relations to a scheme or line of railroad communication through the great divisions of the length and breadth of the land. It should be ascertained that wherever public convenience may demand it, it can be joined to main lines already laid down and in work, by branches of fering the best facilities of level;subsoil, &c., for. their future construction. There should be no hazard of bringing any two of these huge arteries of social communication too closely into juxtaposition. .sk precautions should be adopted for avoiding ; holdings where it in. may be practicable to do so, needless e igof relue or vexatious railwaY s terference with the lands and _ tant landowners on th e I projected.
