The Shoreham and Chichester Railway, for Which an Act of Parliament is now being applied for, forming an other link of this important chain. Between Brighton and Lewes, a length of 7i miles, it is proposed to Ma, a double Line. Between Lewes and Hastings, 24. t miles, a Single Lin e only, with bridges and land for a double Line thr ou g hout. Tw o several plans have at different times been proposed to connect Hastings with London by Railway in a northern direction , b y either t w hich the distance is 81 or 82 miles ; at the same time involving ne serious engineering obstacles necessarily interposed by the nature 0,, the countr • in that direction. The distance by the proposed Line is 82 miles , and the country is De r.. caliarly ' adapted to the construction of a Railway. c o Llie . details of the traffic have received the careful scrutiny of the ttee, and also of the Directors of the London and Brighton "ra3 - Company, and the estimates of the Engineers are of that a mple character, that Contractors of the highest stability are prepared • , (with responsible sureties) to complete the Railway, including all 'o n tingencies, and the maintenance for twelve months atter the open kg of Line, for a less suns than the amount of such estimates.

NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR AN•CE SOCIETY, which the work has evidently been got up cannot but recommend 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, 1843.—" The new edition of the Cost Office London Directory' for the ensuing year has just been com pleted, being the 45th anneal 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 plan, and the Law Counts and Parliamentary divisions have been corrected tip 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 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 suc cumbed to its superior size and en'arged contents. When we men tion th it it contains nearly 9,000 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, direct attention—viz., to that part which contains the ' Postal Directory,' where a digest will be found, compiled from the ni , st authentic saurces, 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, butovithout question, the most perfect." Morning Advertiser, December 8, 1843.—" The 45th annual pub lication of this most useful work h s 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 made 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 &seri' ed, 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 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 front official sources, comprehending an easy reference of the postal arrangements contained in the treaties with foreign Powers. 1 his, 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 7,113. —" 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 1E43 was comprised in 366, in the present volume extends to 466 pages. The Postal i 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." Biitannia, December 9, 1843.—" This wonderful volume—for truly wonderful it is in every respect—i. this year augmented to near 2,01`0 pages, and, what we do not always find to he the case, its value is in creased in greater proportion than its bulk. The 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 ircagine, 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 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 00,000 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 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 daybook, for instance, or an inkstand." Shipping and Mercantile Gazette, December 14, 1813.—" 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 in 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 all who venture upon the same ground; for we learn from a memorandum attached to the volume that the Proprietors of Itobson'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 Sung the fatal rock upon its most formidable rivaL We should not forget to name that tho voluir c before us is prefaced by a good modern map of London." Herapath's Journal, December 9, 1843—" Of the extraordinary productions of the present day, probably this is the one most calcu lated to excite astonishment. If these 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 strict 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 round, from Clapham th Ball's-pond, and from Stratford to Not ting-hill. This list is, as, indeed, may be said of very mat)) , 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 locality 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 available registry of 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 pages 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 information. 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 cat), however, be little doubt, as in any place of real business it cannot I e dispensed with without continued inconvenience." Mining Journal, December 9, 1843 —" This Diiectory fur the forthcoming year, evidences the exercise of indefatigable research in the procuration of an immense mass of valuable information, and of great talent in its classification and arrangement, so as to be of the utmost use, and readily available. It presents a complete Postsoflice vade mecum, and abounds in particulars of such univer sal importance as to become an indispensable requisite for the office of the banker, merchant, or tradesman. The accuracy and perfect arrangement of this work are deserving of the highsst praise, and the sale must indeed be considerable to compensate for the expense and labour entailed on its production." Spectator, December 9, 184 I.—" 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.

The advantages of railway communication both to the country through which it passes and to the projectors, when prudently undertaken and carried out, are too well known and appreciated to need any arguments in its favour. This Railway will be 25 miles in length, and is intended to connect the important towns of Hastings (including St. Leonardo), Rye, and Tenterden, with the South-Eastern Railway at Headcorn, and the forms required by the Standing Ordei s, preparatory to applying for an Act having been com plied with, it is intended to go to Parliament in the ensuing session for the necessary powers to carry the undertaking into effect. A single line of rails will be quite sufficient for the antici pated traffic of the proposed railway, and Mr. Errington, on behalf of Mr. Locke, having examined the piano and sections, has estimated the expense of constructing a single line, in cluding bridges for a double line, and stations and sidings, at 345,000/. The Provisional Committee, from their knowledge of the district, and from the best information they can obtain, estimate the cost of land and compensation, Parliamentary ex penses, &c., at 55,0001., making a total capital of 400,0001., which they feel confident will be amply sufficient for the con struction of the line. The Committee have made careful inquiries front the most authentic sources, namely, the proprietors of coaches and other conveyances on the line, the result of which is given in the traffic table annexed to the prospectus, showing a traffic of 737/. per week, exclusive of a considerable amount of private traffic, the returns of which cannot be ascertained. This traffic, according to the computation allowed by Par liamentary Committes as the result of the increased facilities of railway communication, and which is below the average, as shown by experience, would make the receipts on the pro posed railway amount to 1,474/. per week, making a gross annual income of .............. •• •••••••• • • From which, deduct for working expenses 40 per cent... 30,660 OYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION an increase of POWERFUL and BRILLIANT EFFECTS in ELECTRICITY are exhibited by ARM STRONG'S HYDROELECTRIC MACHINE.

Leaving a net income of £45,988 or upwards of 11 per cent. on the estimated outlay. The Committee have the satisfaction to state that they have entered into an arrangement with the Directors of the South Eastern Company, subject to the approbation of their Proprie tors, by which that Company will engage at any time within five years from its opening to take a lease of the Hastings line for 21 years, at such a rent as shall guarantee to the Proprietors 4 per cent. per annum on the cost of its coastruction to the ex tent of the estimate, with a moiety of the net surplus profits beyond the rental, thus giving to the Proprietors of this under taking the opportunity of working 0-e contemplated line them selves fur ive years, with the option, should it be deemed more advantageous at any time within that period, of requiring the South Eastern Company to take a lease for 21 years, at a rental securing to the Proprietors a certain fair return for their ca pitai with a proportion of the surplus benefits likely to arise from union management and a consequent reduction of expenses. The Committee have looked carefully through the last census and find that the population in the immeoiate neighbourhood of the proposed line amounts to upwards of 60,000. And upon examining the returns made at the respective Custom Houses of 11astings, Rye, and Shoreham, the Committee find that the present exports from Hastings and Rye, exceed those of Shoreham, without allowing for any increase, which will un questionably be caused by the intended railway. Four months' notice will be given of all Calls, and not more than 21. 10s. per share will be called for at one time. Power will be applied for in the Act, to allow interest on the Deposits and paid up Calls, at the rate of 41. per cent. per annum. Applications for Shares, to be made to Messrs.

Horse Brushes (truly the groom's friend) ; this brush stands unrivalled ; it is difficult adequately to describe the advantages obtained by its flexibility when in use. The Flesh, Shoe, Stove, and other Brushes, possess great advantages over the ordinary stiff backs, for it will be found that all brushes hitherto made wear out at the extremities, leaving little of the middle worn, whereas the Patent Flexible-back Brushes wear alike throughout.

This valuable SUCCEDANEUM for STOPPING DE CAYED TEETH, however large the cavity is far superior to anything ever before used, as it is placed in the tooth in a soft state, without any pressure or pain, and in a short time becomes as hard as the enamel, and will remain firm in the tooth for many years, rendering extraction unnecessary. It arrests all further progress of decay, and renders them again useful is' mastication. _ . Prepared only by Mr. Thomas, Surgeon-Dentist, 68, Ber ners-street, Oxford-street. Price 4s. 6d., and will be sent free by post to any part of the kingdom. Mr. Thomas continues to supply the loss of teeth without springs or wires, and has introduced an entirely NEW DE SCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, which will be found very superior to all ethers, as they will never decay, nor become discoloured, and their perfect resemblance to nature defies detection even by the closest observer. This method does not require the extraction of any teeth or roots, or any painful operation whatever. The charges will be found much less than most Dentists.

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 ',fluted, 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. The discontinuance of the practice of making class distinctions in the Street Lists' will be found a great convenience.

We the undersigned, solemnly declare that before Thomas Ito. bins, one of our parishioners, commenced taking " Halse's Scor butic Drops," he was literally covered with large running wounds ,some of them so large that a.person might have laid his fist in them), that before lie had finished the first bottle he noticed an improvement, and that by continuing them for some time, he got completely restored to health, after everything else had failed. He had tried various sorts of medicines before taking " Halse's Scor butic Drops," and had prescriptions from the most celebrated phy. sitian sin this country, without deriving the least benefit. " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" have completely cured him, and he is now ena bled to attend to his labour as well as any man in our parish. From other cures also made in this part, we strongly recommend " Halse's Scorbutic Drops" to the notice of the public.

The BOARD of SUPERINTENDENCE of the " HALL of COMMERCE" take leave to draw your attention to this Institution. It has been built and established at a very great cost, by a -ingle individual, for the convenience of the Commercial Com munity of the City of London, with a degree of public sp i r it worthy the metropolis of th e wer ld. The subscription is now placed on so moderate a scale as to he no object of consideration, in proportion to the conveniences offered, which are set forth in the above Prospectus ; and the Board are of opinion, that without interfering with any of the existing establishments a p propr i ate d t o specific branches of trade, these conveniences may be found available by a very large body of persons in th e Ci ty o f L on d on —by parties visiting London occasionally on mercantile affairs—and by gentlemen from the Continent and other foreign ports.

MONTHLY POST NEWSPAPER. Price Twopence. On the 31st of January, 1844, will be Published, The FIRST NUMBER of a MONTHLY NEWSPAPER. under the above title, to be devoted exclusively to a RECORD OF PUBLIC EVENTS. The object of the MONTHLY POST will be to give, in a carefully compiled and a closely compressed form, an account of all occurrences of interest, taking place in every part of the world, with the dates annexed in chronological order, so as to become a work of reference, and AN EPITOME OF THE HISTORY OF THE TIMES. A number of events occur in every month of which it would be useful to preserve some accurate record ; an object, at present, only to be accomplished by the labour of copying names, dates, and circumstances, or to be effected, hereafter, by the tedious process of referring to the cumbrous pages of an ordinary newspaper. It is to remedy this inconvenience that the Monthly Post will be established ; and as its price will only be 2d. per Month, or Two Shillings for the Entire Year, it is presumed there is hardly a family, or reader, in the kingdom that will be without so interesting and va luable a register. The Monthly Post will be handsomely printed on superior paper, of uniform site with the Pos t Magazine, an d consist of 24 closely packed columns, in a form for binding. A stamped edition will be published. Parties in the country, therefore, who may find any difficulty in procuring the Monthly Post Newspaper, through the agency of a bookseller or newsvender, or who may desire to receive it with the least possible delay, may be supplied with their copies, by post, for twelve months, by enclosing to the publisher, a Post-office order for three shillings, or thirty-six postage labels.
