From Mr. J. SMITH, Glasgow. " GENTLEMEN,—I have been troubled for years with a dreadful palpitation of the heart, accompanied with great nervousness and debility, for which I have tried everything you could mention, all to no purpose, till I heard of PARR': wonderful LIFE PILLS, and a friend of mine desired me t try them, which I did. I bought them of Mr. Nelson, and I am happy to say that a box of them has completely restored me. "If this will do anything to help your efforts you can make use of it, " I remain yours, respectfully, " JAMES SMITH." From Mr. HENRY B 'ABER, Druggist, Knutsford. ' To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills. " GENTLEMEN,—I forward you a case below, which Mr. T. CASH wishes to have published ; he speaks wonderfully of PARR'S PILLS, and eels assured they have been the means of saving his life. We have also additional testimonials from respectable farmers in this neighbourhood. " DEAR SIR,—I have been for the last two years dreadfully afflicted with a cough and pain in the chest, se that I could scarcely eat the least portion of food without causing great pain in my chest, and shortness of breath, with a violent cough, not being able to lie down for nine months; having had the advice of several medical men, without deriving any benefit, I was advised by a friend to try PARR'S PILLS, but having tried so many patent medicines, I thought I might as well throw my money away. I began to think nothing would cure me ; I was fast wasting away with a violent pain in my head ; at last ray friend got me a box from your shop, and advised me to try them, so I tried them, being so strongly recommended, according to the direction, and before I had taken one box, I found so much relief that I tried another, and am new happy to say I am as well as ever I was in my life, and shall always have a few doses by me, for they are wonderful. (Signed) " THOMAS CASH. Witness—John Thorpe." " Mr. PARRY has been afflicted with sore eyes for twelve years, and has tried everything Y e could hear of without the least oenefit, but since taking two boxes of PARR'S PILLS, his eyes are quite well, and have been for some time. " Mrs. SMITH has bees troubled with a pain in her head for many years, has had the most respectable medical advice, without receiving any benefit ; is quite recovered since she has taken three boxes of PARR'S PILLS, which are worth a sovereign a box to persons troubled with a sick headache; I shall always have a supply by me. " These cases I, have selected from a number of others, and can rely upon them as being correct. I shall feel great pleasure in giving every information to any person who may favour me with a call.

WOODWARD, Chemist, "To the Proprietors of Parr's Life Pills. _ " GENTLEMEN,—The benefit I have received by the use of OLD PARR'S PILLS, induces me, out of gratitude to the Proprietors, and a wish to be of use to the whole world, to add another testi monial to the numbers you have already received. For the last two years I have been labouring under a complication of disorders in my head and stomach. I think I may venture to say I have not had an hour's cessation of pain during the time. My sense of smelling was entirely gone, and the most agreeable perfume or the most intolerant stench were equally indifferent to me. I have had the advice •f several surgeons and medical men, 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. I have recommended them, and shall do se, as I feel I cannot do sufficient for the benefit I have received.-1 am, Gentlemen, your obliged and grateiul servant, " HENRY NASH.

Numerous are the cases of relief being afforded in rheumatic, asthmatic, and liver, complaints, sick head. ache, coughs, colds, and diseases of the stomach and digestive organs, by taking these pills.

" GENTLEmEN,—I beg ti announce to you (and it is a duty I owe the public), that the demand for PARR'S LIFE PILLS con tinues to increase daily, and why ? let the following case amongst many others testify :—JOHN GREEN of this place has for many years been afflicted with an asthma of the most painful kind, for which he has had the advice of as many medical men as there are pills in one of your boxes, but, after taking, at stated periods, only three boxes of PARR'S PILLS, he declared to me this morning, t hat now he could sleep from nine o'clock at night till seven in the morning, although for the last two years he had never laid down in bed, but was obliged to be prepped up with pillows to enable him to breathe at all.—l am, Gentlemen, your's respectfully, " S.

(Constituted by Act of Parliament), 32, LOMBARD- STREET. The extensive business conducted by this Company places it among the first institutions in the kingdom for the Assurance of Lives. The assurances propoSed to the Company during the year just concluded, amounted to . . . . . . £418,000 Of which the Directors thought it their duty to reject . 70,000 Policies issued to the extent of . . . . . 348000 Being upwards of one-third of a million, and adding nearly 11,0001. per annum to the Company's revenue. There are various inducements to assurers in this Company, arising from the security which the Company affords—its equitable rates and its clutracteristie principle of liberality, whether in the settle ment of claims or facilities to assurers. A distinguishing feature is also to be found in the division of profits, by which it will be observed it confers peculiar advantages upon its policy holders, allowing them in the fullest degree the benefit of survivorship. Policies from this Company steadily continued thus increase very rapidly, holding out great inducement to the best class of lives to give it a preference. A policy opened in 1825 for 1,0001. has been increased in 1840 to .£1,337 10 A policy opened in 1826 for 1,0001. has been increased in .840 to 1,287 10 Later policies in proportion. Another division takes place next year, and parties now assuring will participate.

It has yearly been growing in fulness and consequent usefulness, end it now contains a carefully arranged and elaborated mass of informa tion relative to almost every the province of a Directory Th e care and minute attention w i t h which the work has evidently b een got up cannot but recommend sulbject which ca possibly come within it to very extensive public patronage. A considerable quantity of matter not contained in its predec ssors has been added to this publi cation, and the whole is neatly and cleverly printed." Morning Post, December 9, isia—g , The new edition 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 taken place in the efforts ofthe proprietors to render this a most useful and indispen sable volume. The amalgamation of the nobility, gentry, merchants, 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, e.pecially, 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 be 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 sue. cumbed to its superior size and en'arged c intents. When we men. tion that it contains nearly .',0013 closely printed pages of reference 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, slirect attention—viz., to that part which contains the ' Postal Directory,' where a digest will be found, compiled from the most 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 que s ti on , th e mos t per f ec t . " Morning Advertiser, December 8, ISM—. The 45th annual pub lication of this most useful work h .8 just appeared, and, having made a carefnl 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 mode to render the edi 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-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 described, we have not been able to discover one single mis take. Every information possible connected with a work of this nature, will be found in it. It is accompanied by an admirable map of London." Weekly Dispatch, December 10, 1843.---.. The excellent manner in which, for years past, this Directot y. 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 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, 1843.—" The present handsome volume, to which a large Plan of London is prefixed, and which unit e s 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 Directory' 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—is 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 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 its 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 s Gazette. December 14, 1843.—" This huge annual has again matte 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 Directorice 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.

If those Y this is the one most 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, m ust 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 consu lted with the same facility as a dictionary. This has been effected by judicious sub-division appropriate headings—good indices—and strict alphabetical arrangement. The book Is divided into twelve subjects, each complete in itself, and yet all more or less con nected w ith 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 round, 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,t , for obvious reasons , no other merchants and shopkeepers , all at one view. This is a thing that work has attempted A descriptio n of the locality is lik ewise fur nished, and as in each street those w hich intersect it are accurately described, the entire, as well as bei n g a c opi ou s Directory, partakes cf 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 alter the fire of London, a general and available registry of property . would have been at hand, and, should it happen that a copy survive the nietrepolis it so well describes, the future historian or statistician might from its peps 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.

Its Literary contents offer a variety of information, satire, and amusement, not surpassed, if equalled, by any other monthly periodical.

The promises made early in the last year by popular Writers and eminent Professors, who had engaged to enrich its pages with their communications, have been made good, and no Magazine of the day has been able to lay before its readers more valuable matter.

POST -OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY, for 1844, in 1,860 closely-printed imperial octavo pages, price 30s. 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, 1843.—" The present number extends to 1,809 pages, and embraces a more comprehensive detail of the vast ma chinery 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 use, 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. 1/1 e 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, Dock Corr panie., Law Directory, Parliamentary Directory, Postal Directory, Public Companies, Ralways, 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 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 gim es, December 7, 1843.—" The London Post Office Di rectors' f , r the coming year has just passed through the press, and now forms one of the most useful volumes which at this season make their appearance. Useful is a proper term when applied 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 sr em ployed to know. This 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 not precisely the book for the boudoir or the draw. ing-room, is 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 year and past years, contains in that portion of it called the Postal Directory,' a digest of the most recent arrangements in a comprehensive form, so arranged that an easy reference can be made to whatever under that head the inquirer may want to find out. This Is more p , rticularly to be seen in the tables of Universal Rates on ?rf rlt%Cr iMpr •vi winch wia be t ashy seen if consulting the various divisions of the book, and th &Whole is so well arranged that to discover what is sought for is a matter very easily accomplished.

At home every day till Three, and From Five till Eight, FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH. 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 more or leas every day, are so obvious to all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every house holder in the kingdom. From among numerous testimonials, the following is respectfully submitted:— "To Mr. THOS. PROUT, 223, STRAND, LONDON. " 5, Cooper-street, Manchester, March 12, 1842. " Ste,—l hare much satisfaction in communicating to you the re. stilt of my experience, after repeated trials of FRAMPTON'S PILL I of HEALTH, and I feel it hut justice to state, that in the course of many years' trial of various aperient medicines, I have never found results at once salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from redundant bile, &c. &c.. with so little inconvenience; 1 am, there fore warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means long wanting, of being able to recommend to Families, Schools, and espe. cially Mercantile Men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And 1 shall take cre dit to myself, if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making Frampton's Pills more generally known and appreciated. " I am, Sir, r e s pectfully yours, WILLIAM SMITH." The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising fl - om the earnest re. dommendations of the many thousands who havederived benefit from their use, render any lengthened comment unnecessary ; they are not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is habil, but for Bilious and Liver Compla'n.s, with their many well-known attendants, Bilious and Sick Head-ache, Pain and Oppression after Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in Head and Ears, Drow .iness, Heartburn, Loss cf Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c. Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary e'. feels. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy ao. titm of the Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys will rapidly take place ; and instead of listless less heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance, strength activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age, will be tha result of taking this medicine, according t o the directions accompany • g each box.

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 pro 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 con 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 of good: 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 uncompetable lines. It annihilates altogether the facility of moving from any one 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-coaches, horses for their 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 makers, forage 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 public 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 iia 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 este. biishment 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 law of the land. But, railroads are a species of public works sui generic. If they , succeed, their advantages and the benefit their proprietors derive from them, cannot be, as in 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 coin. panics 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 beinfif " 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 dos. ing with the exorbitant proposals of their " opposi. tion," the latter run" against them ; and then the contest is continued a routrance, 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, dividend neither larger nor more valuable than 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 we shown what ought to be the supervision which the Legislature should exercise over the preliminary sea. lection and works of a few railways. Some of the propositions then made were finally adopted and hare passed into law ; others, at least equally important were passed over. But it is not enough that eminent engineers, civil and military, should report upon the practicability of a proposed line ; there should be better previous guarantees that it is "the best" which could be adopted for the locality. Every nee line ought to be- sanctioned only in reference to its present, or possible, or ultimate relations to $ scheme or line of railroad communication through the great divisions of aheiength and breadth of the land. It shOuld be asceibained that wherever publics convenience may demand it;4it can be joined to inn in lines already laid down and in - Work, by branches of. fering the best facilities of level, subsoil, &c., for theif future construction. There should no hazard of bringing any two of these huge arty-ris of social communication too closely into juxtapo'sltiqp. All precautions should be adopted for avoiding, here it may be practicable to do so, needless or vexatious in terference with the lands and holdings of relue. tent landowners on the line of railways projected. Tunnelling should be, fl Tue}? r as the superficial outline of the country will a l d ow, t em jetted. But, in order to provide t hi these e essential arrangements, there sh ould aonrga:li:3 Legislature or the previously, and deposited d lost requisi e ne. o. raway, the most eligible an n ver the whole British islands; Government, some genera sch.em.te o l r i pl s an e , sho i rieg not yet constructed, _o an d a n applications for new Bills should be enter. tained or dismissed, in proportion as their intender/ lines might be found to approach to or be incompa m tible with such general scheme of railway projections.
