JAMES C. MELVILL, Secretary. the province of a Directory. The care and minute attention with which the work has evidently been got up cannot but recommend it to very extensive public patronage. A considerable quantity of master not contained in its predecessors has been added to this publi cation, and the whole is neatly and cleverly printed." Morning Post, December 9, 1843.—" The new (di' ion of the Post Office London Directory' for the ensuing year has just been com 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 t :ken place in the efforts ofthe proprietors to render this a most useful and indisp n en. sable volume. The amalgamation of the nobility, gentry, merchats, and traders in the Street Directory' is a most excellent plan, 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 periol as recent as the Salisbury election. The Postal Directory' contains the latest regulations , and a pp ears have been arranged in a form at once comprehensive and easy of reference." Morning Herald. December 6, 1843.—" This Directory may he considered a ne 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 cumbed to its superior size and enlarged contents. When we men tion that it contains nearly 2,000 closely printed pages of relerence to every conceivable subject that can affect the necessities of the London resident or visitor, we have only indicated a small part of its value, which, to be properly appreciated, must be examined with more minuteness than we have space to detail. To one new feature we we may, however, s'irect attention—viz., to that part which contains the Postal Directory,' where a digest will be found, compiled from the mist authentic sources, of the recces 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, bur, without question, the most perfect." Naming Advertiser, December 8, 1813.—" the 45th annual pub lication of this most useful work ,s just appeared, and, having made a careful examination of its contents, we feel it to he 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 'ech. tion for 1814 worthy of the largest commercial city in the world, is fully borne out. Great additions have been made in the present edition as compared with its 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 sutned by the Directory, and, as for the accuracy with with which it is compiled, all we can say is, that, alter testing it, as already d esc ribed, we have not been able to discover one single mis take. Every information possible connected with a work of the nature, will be found in it. It is accompanied by an admirable map of London." Weekly Dispatch, December 10, 1843.--s. The excellent manner in which, for years past, this Directory has 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 best 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 eontains, could only be obtained by those who possess the same advantages es the gentlemen who manage the' Past-office Directory,' and so long as they continue to devote the same care and attention to the work that they ha v e hitherto done, their Ithours will be appreciated and rewarded by the public." „ Globe, December 1, I , l3.—"The prese n t handsome volume, to which a large Plan of London is prefixed, and which unites the characters of a City and Court Directory, must be acknowledge,' to be worthy, in the comprehensivene , s 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 eiti er have not been in print at all, or not at the same addresses ; and that the 'Street Directory,' which in the edition of 1643 was comprised in 366, in the present volume extends to 466 pages The Postal )irectory' 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 t e a r n f tlu a i , t i D s e i c n e m e vbeerry9r,elsB4p respect-193. his his y w e o a n r d a e u r g f t o n t e v n o t l e t range." dirritoe—tiefoarr twond2r,uwlyo pages, and, what we do not always find to be the case, its value is in. h e lateness ess the o merchant, its ta a a d n e d r, creased in greater proportion Iran its bulk. '1 lie merit and use fulness of any work of this kind depend very greatly on the corn non its r any other 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 maths so perfect, ace :rate, and comprehensive, as to leave, as we imagine, no room for the exercise of further ingenuity in the way of improvement. Every department has keen 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 rates of foreign postage. In its complete shape, with an excel 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 industry when they have the dissec tion of a city like London for their object, and the certainty of is universal patronage for their reward—the certainty, because in truth the volume is a public boon, and as necessary to all persons engaged in trade as the commonest implements of the counting-house or the shop, as a day-book, for instance, or an inkstand." Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, December 14, 1813.—" This huge minuet 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 ie 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 reference. The Parliamentary Directory' embraces the latest changes in the representation—namely, those of the City and Salis bury. The ' Postal Directory' furnishes new tables of rates of post. 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 given ; indeed, every kind of information that it is possible to expect in such a work is supplied in 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 Polyphone, is a signal for the disappearance of allwho venture upon the same ground; for we learn from a memorandum attached to the volume that the Proprietors 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 flung the fatal rock upon its most formidable rival. We should not forget to name that tho volume before us is prefaced by a good modern map of London." Herapath's Journal, December 9, 1843—" Of the extraordinary productionsto excite of the present clay, probably this is the one most calcu latedexcite astonishment. If these ignorant of the mysteries of typography are puzzled to think how it has been accomplished, all accustomed to literary lab our , and theiefore able to appreciate the difficulties of the task, m us t b e i n finitely more so. The va classifications have been well cons id e r e d. Of all the merits of this— it us may be fairly termed—National Directory, not the least is the arranex treme clearness and simplicity of its Y' arrangement • larger than the largest ordinary work of the kind, it can throughout with the same facility as a dictionary. 'this has be consult e d judicious sub-division appropriate headings—goode effected by indices —and s t r i c t alphabetical arrangement. The book is divided -dices—and subj:cts, each complete ni or itself, and yet all more lessinto connected with each other. We will take the first:—An arrangement all the inhabitants of e v e r y s tr eet , court, and p l ac e within the metropolis, and for some mil es f ro m Clapham to Ball's-pond; round, from from Stratford to Not_ t ting.hill. This list i s, as, indeed, ma y be said of • 5; m a ny others in the volume , u ni q ue. It g ives the inha bitants of every place, nobility and gentry, merchants and shopkeepers, all at one view. '1 his is a thing that, for obvious reasons, no other -work has attempted A description of the localey is likewise fur nished, and as in each street those which intersect it are accurately described, the entire, a well as being a copious Directory, partakes f the character of a general map. We have heard belore 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 alter the fire of London, a gem ral and available registry of property would have been at hand, and, should it happen that a copy survive the ,eetr• pens it so well des ribes, the future historian or statistician might fi om its p .ges 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 Conve)ance Directory several thousand new places have been intro 'arced , with all the newest railway information. The cost of the production of such a book must have been enormous, and to repay the energetic proprietors the ale must be very great indeed. Of this there can, however, be little doubt, as in any place of real business it cannot i e dispensed with without continued inconvenience." Mining Journal, December 9, 1841.—" This Diiectery for the forthcoming year, evidences the exercise of indefatigable research in the procuration of an immense mass of valuable inforo.ation, and of great talent in its classification and arrangement, so as to be of the utmost use, and readily available. It presents a complete Post-ottice vade mecum, and abounds in particulars of such univer sal importance as to become an indispensable requisae for the office of the banker, merchant, or tradesman. The accuracy and perfect arrangement of this work are deserving of the highest praise, and the sale must indeed be considerable to compensate for the expense and labour entailed on its production." Spectator, December 9, 184'3.—" This immense volume still con tinues adding to its facts and information, though the addition of new features seems to have stopped at present from the exhaustion of subjects. To what extent additional minutiae are added, may be guessed by upwards of e OO pages more of large and closely - printed matter being given in the present volume." John Bull, December 23, 1843.—" 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,' `Lew Directory,' Court Directory,' Postal Directory,' City Directory,' ' Conveyance Directory,' Banking Directory,' &c. In short 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 w as comprised in 366 pages, now occupies 438 pages. In the Postal Directory,' the latest regulations have been arranged in the part headed' Universal Rates of Postage, in a form at once comprehen sive and easy of reference." The Sentinel, D ec ember 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 I)irectory 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 more than 100,000 names. Not only does its bulk give an idea of the enormous increase of the metropolitan population, but the many improvements in its arrangements are such as to impart the most important facilities in the expeditious dispatch of business.

Mr. Potter was otherwise extremely ill from rheumatic gout, so much so, that Dr. Elliott, of Mount Radford, Exeter, was in attendance with Mr. Perkins, and it was considered that he was in imminent danger. All mans were had recourse to, ace rding to the present mode of practice, to restore their patient, which was in sons^ mea sure effected, as, alter many weeks, the patient left his bed; but as for the bladder, it had lost entirely its c mtractile power, so much so, that for thirteen weeks lie never could make water in the natural way, and the catheter was obliged to he introduced four or five times every day, and always dosing the night it was kept passed into the bladder. Mr. Potter continued to suffer in this distressing manner until the sth of August, about which period he was recorsmended to me to see if Morison's Pills wou'd have any good eff,ct upon bins, and my opinion being favourable as to the ultimate results of that medicine upon him, he immediately began with three pills at night and two in the morning, an 1 at the end of the third day, astonishing to say, he was able to make water in the natural way. He continued every day to progress favourably, and I think he has taken the medicines in varied doses for about three months, under my directions, with the happie s t resu lt s, i nasmuc h t h at he as now no occasion to pass the instrument, the bladder having quite regained its natural power; and Mr. Potter's health is s o regenera t e d i n every respect, that he has now become as active and healthy a person as can be seen.

Case of Cure by Morison's Vegetable Universal Medicine, in Liver pool, after being given over as incurable by the doctors. To Messrs. Morison and Co., London. Gentlemen,— I consider it my duty to make my case known to you, having for many years been a great sufferer, until relieved by your invaluable medicines. In 182 J I was first attackedwith a sickness at the stomach, which continued for some time ; I had frequent bilious attacks and could get no relief, which obliged me frequently to give up work altogether. About two years ago I was under the doctor's hands three months, with a diseased liver and stomach ; my com plaints were alleviated fora short time, when I was seized with a low nervous fever. This was the worst of all my complaints, and it is im possible to describe my sufferings. The doctor did not seem to under stand my complaints, or did not know how to relieve them ; he di rected me to try sea bathing. I was better at first, then came on loss of appetite, and could get no rest night or day, so that I almost lost my senses. I then went to a fresh doctor, who told me he could cure me in a fortnight. At the first I found benefit as before, but itbafiled his skill, and 1 was as bad as ever, and left him. then commenced drinking herb tea, which I found lid me more good than the doctor. I was next attacked with a very severe bowel complaint and sickness, and I sent to the doctor again. I was confined to my bed a week, and reduced to a skeleton. I got a little better, but the doctor refused to give me any more medicine, as it was of no use ; he could do me no good, fur had I continued there would have been no chance what ever, and he did not wish to injure me. Hearing of your medicines curing a man after thedoctors hail given him up, I was resolved to give them a trial. When I first commenced I was diseased from head to foot. My appetite seas so ravenous I was never satisfied, and dropsy seemed taking the lead of my other complaints. Mr Fisher, your agent in Liverpool, kindly advised my commencing with small doses of the pills, increasing as I could bear them. I never exceeded 12 or 14 at a time, and have now been taking them IS months. All my complaints have left me, except that my stomach continues rather weak, which is all I suffer from at present, and I think that, by fur ther perseverance, I shall arrive at perfect health. lam now better than I have been for many years past. I have recommended the pills to my neighbours, many of whom have found great benefit from them. I beg you, gentlemen, to accept my heartfelt thanks, and hope you will, notwithstanding the imperfections of the writing, publish this for the benefit of others, and as an encouragement to persevere. I am, Gentleman, year's, very respectfully, JOB DAVIES, Taiior. EAST INDIA HOUSE, JAN. 10, 1844. THE COURT of DIRECTORS of the EAST INDIA.

No. 66, Bridport-pace, Hoxton, London, Jan. 28, 1843. Gentlemen,—A sense of duty to my fellow-creatures, as well as gratitude to yourselves for the benefit your invaluable medicine has conferred an me, induces me to make this communication to you, in the hope that it may be the means of removing the prejudico which unfortunately exists against a medicine which places the greatest earthly blessing—namely, that of health—within the reach of every one who will accent of it. I have been afflicted with ill health for years—l might almost say from childhood—to within a short period of the present time. Disease under various forms has gone fir to embitter a portion of my existence. The last form it assumed was dropsy, with which I was attacked about five months since, and which made such a rapid progress that at about the end of one month 1 was brought to the last extremity, my body and legs being swelled to a frightful size. I had the most fatal symptoms of speedy dissolution—my hours on this earth appeared to be but few. At this critical period, a friend,directed , by an ever-watchful Provi dence, who had often used his persuasive powers on previous occa sions with but too ill success, hearing of my condition, and rightfully enough, considering that my confidence in the faculty must now be shaken, as their treatment seemed rather to assist the disease than otherwise, and knowing that however hopeless my case appeared, if it were within the reach of mortal power, what alone could save me, presented me some of Morison's I'ills, requesting me as a personal favour to try thrall. I did so, and the result has been, with the blessing of God, a restoration to health, to the surprise of all my friends, who look on me as one raised fr im the dead. I began with six at night, and have never exceeded eight. I found the first dose attacked the complaint, and at the expiratism of a week, so rapid was the effect produced by them, my legs and feet had come down to their proper size. I was enabled to resume my situation three month; after my using the pills, in a better state of health than ever I en joi ed. Hoping that my case, which, it mu.t be admitted, is no trifling one, may be the means of opening men's eyes with respect to the fallacious system of the doctors, which is one of inconsistencies and contradictions, and of causing them to think seriously for them selves on a subject of so much importance—the acquisition of health, on a safe and certain principve—as after my own case, I am persuaded that, however diseased, or of however so long standing, relief, if nit health, is a boon within the reach of all—with these imperfect re marks I conclude, and believe me to remain, Gentlemen, ever grateful for the benefit I have received, HENRY THACKER.

The Proprietors have the satisfaction to find, as is very generally acknowledged, that during the past year no efforts have been spared to give additional interest and importance to a publication which has ranked as a favourite with the higher as well as the middle classes for more than twenty years. The promises made by popular Writers and eminent Professors who had engaged to enrich its pages with their c ommunications have been made good, and no Ma gazine of the day has been able to lay before its readers more varied or more valuable original matter. Its widely extending connexions enable the Proprietors to furnish the earliest and most correct announcements of to all disco fverends ies in Art, Science, and Nature , that are interesting disc o v ends of Literature. Some of the most striking historical tales which the season has produced, tales not composed of maudlin s ensibilities, but valuable illustrations of the'annals and manners of former days; translations of standard works of French and German authors by the ablest hands, for " The Mirror" exclusively, have also within the same period diversified its columns. The Reviews which have appeared have been free and im partial, not merely authors' prefaces and booksellers' puffs, which indolence and meanness have often been content to adopt as such. Engravings of the Heraldic honours of Noble Houses have been introduced one in each week. In the accompanying notices no party spirit has been allowed to enter, and some memorable scenes have been recalled, which in ordinary Peer ages would be sought for in vain.

The last packet from America brought the following report from Lieutenant John Mackinnon, 104th Foot. Hygeian general agent for Cape Breton and other islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence : To Messrs. Morrison and Moat, British College of Health, London. Dear Sirs,—On the 6th of October, 1842, I had the pleasure of transmitting to the British College of Health a brief report on Ilygean affairs i i this quarter of the globe, and which, I am happy to discover, has been largely circulated, and some hundreds of copies sent to this island to stare in the face both friends and foes. Since the report alluded to, the Universal Medicines of the Col lege have nothing diminished in the estimation of old as well as new patients, for not a cloud has arisen to obscure, even for a moment, their shining lustre, and many cases of cure have been performed, (by the blessing of God on the means) of truly a most astonishing nature. A few only I deem it necessary to forward.-Ist. Archibald APDonald, aged 47, farmer, pronounced incurable by several doc tors. lie had been informed by the wiseacres, that by the aid of their sounding rods they had disco. ered that his heart had grown too large for its casement, and that lie might prepare himself for an eternal world. Ile applied to me as his Bernier resource before leaving this world, and was greatly surprised at my failing into a violent fit of laughter at his talc of woe. " Archy, my man," said I, Do only what I bid you, and I will cut down that tremendous heart of yours in a few weeks ; for those fellows you have been consulting are only blind leaders of the blind." The pills and powders were administered in grand style, twenty at a dose twice a day ; this was in April. and the July following he paid for his medicines by snowing the grass in my field', and then foun f that his heart was freed from its shackles. He has remained in good health ever since. For the remainder of Licut. Mackinnon's resort, - see the S9th number of the Hygeist, published on the Ist of December last. The last Overland Mail from India brought Intelligence of the chol ra raging in the interior, and of its successful treatment in all cases where Morison's Medicines were had recourse to. The following is an extract Crum a letter just received by Meters. Morison and Moat, of the British College of Health, Hamilton place, New-road, London, from Robert L. Pereira, Esq., then ge neral agent lbr Madras, dated October 21, 1843 : I regret to inform you that the cholera is making great ravages in the interior, end in a part of the black town called Parcherry. Li Madras. during the last nine or ten days, many have fallen victims; those who have taken your invaluable medicines have been cured, and others have been saved from an attack by a timely application to same means. Another extraordinary case of cure from Mr. Pereira, of Madras. Copy :—To Mr. It. L. Pereira. Si r,—l beg to inform you that one of my relations, a boy 12 years of age, having been bitten one night, at about half-past eight o'clock, by a venomous snake, called by the natives Cataverien, or Carpet Snake, about twelve o'clock his whole body became swollen to an enormous size, and he commenced vomiting blood and rice, accom panied with an oppression in the chest, and in the last stage. I have, in the absence of other medicines, given him a dose of twelve of Morison's No. 2 Pills from the last purchase I made from you, and the boy, half an hour after he had taken the pills, threw up bile and had a few motions, whereby he felt instant relief, which gave him good rest till the next morning, and when he awoke he still felt heavy symptoms, upon which a medical practitioner, a relative of the patient, prepared a draught, and desired the boy to take it; he peremptorily refused, and said he would take no other medicine but the pills he had taken before, because he benefited thereby ; accordingly, another dose of nine pills was given him ; about half an hour after he vomited some !green stuff and had three green motions, and entirely recovered. I beg also to bring to your notice that, notwithstanding the most extra ordinary cure I !lase experienced with this invaluable medicine in the bite of a venomous snake, as above stated, I have had the hap piness of curing various complaints of both a chronic and acute nature, and more particularly of myself. I must say that were it 'rt for these pills I .hould to this very day suffer with the :severe pain in the pit of my stomach which used to come on me very fre quently for several years before I used them ; in fact, many in my neighbourhood who knew me to have suffered with the pain, and that I had cured myself of it with these pills, flock to me for aid whenever they arc taken ill, and I sin obliged to give it to them, grats in some instances. hoping that, as these pills are now be coming better known asnong the native population, and will be in greater demand daily, you will always have a good stock on hand for the benefit of mankind in this part of the universe, I beg to subscribe myself, Sir, Your very obedient servant, SOOBA ROY A MOODELIAR.

HOOFING COUGH CURED without Inward Medicine, by the use of ROCHE'S HERB AL EMBRO. CATION. Many thousands of children are cured annually by this remedy ; on the first attack, an immediate application of the EMBROCA TION will prevent the complaint taking any hold of the constitution, and a few times using may completely cure. In most cases, one bot. tie will produce the desired effbct ; and no remedy can be so well cal. culated for children as this, for it requires no medicine to betaken in. wardly.

DESTRUCTION OF THE CONTAGION OFTHE PLAGU E. — A Committee of Russian medical authorities have been making experiments in Egypt on the destruction of the contagion of the plague by means of hot air. The woollen articles of clothing were worn by persons deci dedly affected by the disease for 24 hours, exposed to a heat of 144 deg. to 167 deg. Fahr. in a heated room, and were then worn by persons in perfect health who had held quarantine in disinfected clothing. These persons (56 in number) wove the woollen clothing during a fort night, and not one of them became subject to the plague for several weeks after the experiment.—Medical Ga ulle. A CERTAIN EEMEDY FOR ILL-HEALTII, BY HOL LOWAY'S PILLS.—MrS. Long, residing in Merrow-street, Walworth, had been for three years in a very declining state of health, owing to that period, the turn of life. Her constitution appeared to be almost broken up, and was considered as fast approaching a consumptive state. She is now restored to a very high state of health by these invaluable pills. All females approaching to that critical period would find them the only effectual remedy that such a dangerous ago requires. This medicine would be invaluable to all young persons approaching the term of womanhood. Sold at Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis) ; and by almost all respectable vendors of medi cine throughout the civilised world.

The earliest copy of the work has been but one month issued, and the following reviews have appeared in tke Trading metropolitan journals:— Sun, December 7, 1813.—" The present number extends to 1,849 pages, and embraces a more comprehensive detail of the vast ma. chincry which London exhibits than any work of the kind yet pub lished. The compiler has confined his labours rather more to sim plifying former articles, with indispensable additions to which circumstances give rise, than to increase the work by new subjects of reference: in fact, these appear to be nearly exhausted. A slight glance at the index will show what a vast field is included in this multifarious work. sti e there find the following headings, and sub joined to these are branches extending to every department :—Court of Chancery, Admiralty, Army Agents, Assurance Comp anies, Banking Directory, City Directory, Commercial and Professional Directory, Convetance Directory, Court Directory, Dock Com panics, Law Directory, Parliamentary Directory, Postal Directory, Public Compl tries, Ra l ways, Street Directory, Trades Directory, Universal Rates of Postage, and, in short, every species of infirmaticoi that not only men of business, but persons in all ranks of life, in the country as well as in Londorn 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, asd we may therefore say that, as regards the Street Directory,' the ' Postal Directory,' and the 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." The km, s, December 7, 1843.—" The London Posi Office Di rector,' f r the coming year has just passed through the press, and now forms one of the most useful v Limes which at this season make their appearance. Useful is a proper term when aml.ied to this pub. 1 cation, but the term indispensable would be equally appropriate, for to merchants, bankers, and to all persons in business, the book is so important that to be without it is almost to be in a state of ignorance about what it concerns every man commercially connected or em ployed to know. 'Phis work, though it has little of the pretence of the' annuals,' as they are called, has as much real merit as any of them, and though nit precisely the book for the boudoir or the draw ing-room, i• the proper annual for the counting-house and the shop. It has been got up with great industry, great labour, great research, and great expense, and the result is a book of reference for every.day life, and a mass of valuable and accurate information. The volume for 1844, in addition to all the intelligence conveyed in the volumes of this sear and past years, contains in that portion of it called the Res al Diri.ctory,' a digest of the most recent arra, gements in a compre ensive firm, so arranged that an e - ,ss referenc , can be made to whatever under that head the inquirer may want to find out. This is more particularly to be seen in the tables of Universal Rates on Postage.' There are other improvements which will be easily seen if consulting the various divisions of the book, and the whole is so well arranged that to discover what is sought for is a matter very easily accomplished. Accuray and fidelity, the great requisites in a puisli ration of this kind, are visible throughout, and great credit is due to the compilers."

REPORT of the BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH, New-road, London, for 1843. In the year 1823 the above Establishment was founded by James Morison, the Hygeist, who, together with a great number of indivi duals, became members thereof, in order the more effectually to carry out those principles in medicine known as the " Hygelan Ss s tern" which have from interested motives been so violently opposed by the Faculty, but which they (the Hygeists), notwithstanding, con scientiously believe to be founded in truth. rime, the test of all theories, has mcst certainly proved the truth of that system. The Hygeian agents in different parts of the world, who are highly re spectable persons, have all concurred in their reports as to the cure of disease by Morison's Medicines, when many of the parties had been given over as incurable under the ordinary medical treatment; these facts arc on record throughout the different parts of the globe, and, therefore, Hygeists are justified in denouncing the present sys tem of doctors (the organic pathology) as being altogether founded in error, which, we submit, is empty proved by the fact cf doctors being at this day quite at variance with one another, both as regards the theory of disease and its practice—hence have we the Water Cure, Hoinceop y, Mesmerism, &c. The fact of medical men being gene rallyath persons of education is not of itself at all conclusive of their being the most competent to cure disease, if it can be proved, as we say it can, that, from interested motives, the medical schools have diverged from the path of simple nature, and for profit have made the science of medicine one of confusion, not to be understood by even the wisest man that ever lived; in proof of which assertion we refer the public to the medical works of the day, which contain the most flagrant contradictions and absurdities. 81r. Morison, on the other hand, proceeding upon a simple, but true and natural theory— namely, that all diseases, however they may show themselves, have their origin in an impure state of the blood and fluids, so that there is, in fact, but one disease—administers at once the Vegetable Uni versal Medicine ; and he, and those connected with his system, have invariably found,* that when the disease was curable it has been cured by that simple process, whilst, if the same disease had been submitted to learned doctors, they would have tried, perhaps, innu merable prescriptions, all dignified with Latin names, and, after all, have left the patient where they found him, if not worse. We say these are facts of tvery day occurrence, and that those who will in quire into this important question will find them such. We are aware that the practice of a system like the Morisonian wculd not sufficiently remunerate doctors ? since every person might thus become his own physician. The public will,therefore, not bemuch surprised that the Faculty should have adopted a system founded on organic prin ciples, as if the body were a piece of patchwork. which consequently obliges all persons (except Hygeists) to have recourse to them in cases of disease ; hence we see, in almost every street, eye and ear infirmaries, and other establishments for treating different parts of the body. In conclusion, we have to lay before the public an extract from the last Report oft he Exeter Hygeian Dispensary, together with Lady Grey's last letter, and the amount paid by us for stamps to the Bri tish Governmenr, &c., all of which we submit is corroborative of the foregoing allegation, namely, that the present system of doctors in treating diseases on organic principles is altogether erroneoxs. (Signed) MOItISON, MOAT, and CO. Hygeists. At the Exeter Hygeian Dispens ar y u p wards of 4, 000 poor per. sons have been restored to health by the Hygeian medicines, many of whom had been declared incurable in the Exeter hospitals under doctors' treatment. The Dispensary, situate at 91, Fore-street-hill, Exeter, has now been in full operation during the last eight years, and is under the direction of Richard Tothill, Esq., to whom the public is referred as regards the proceedings at that Institution. Case of Cure reported by Lady Sophia Grey. Sandiway, December 7, 1843. Gentlemen,—By the wish of cur labourer, G. Greaves, I write to say that he wishes it to be known how greatly he has benefited by taking your most excellent medicines. When wo came to this place he was a poor sickly young man, so often tied up with violent attacks of asthma, that the farmers would not employ him, and Mr. Booth Grey gave him little jobs when able to do anything. I instantly per suaded him to take your Pills in small doses, alternately No. 1 and No. '2. He has done so, never exceeding seven pills at a dose, and is now a very healthy man, and able to work like any other labourer, and not affected by every change in the weather. I have known se. veral that have received great benefit from your Pills in this most dis tressing complaint. I have several bad cases in hand, and no words can describe the blessing this medicine is to the poor. I have seve ral patients I have never seen, but send the advice by letter ; but am not deceived, as I have friends who watch their iirogress. As for my self I should have been dead years ago if it had not been for your Pills and the mercy of my Heavenly Father. 1 remain, Gentlemen, yours sincerely obliged, SOPHIA GREY. To Messrs. Morison, Moat, a- d Co., British College of Health, London.
