The present edition ot 11 1 . bs,.. l otory contains a list of the principal hotels and commercial uer s - ' 011 ;hout England and Wales, with the names of the occu- I saf et an d the population.

But the zealous and unwearying industry which has always presided over the preparation of this stupendous animal has too frequently been acknowledged to need panegyric now. The " Post Office Directory" has long been an essential in every counting-house; and such it will always be, so long as the same comprehensive spirit governs the supervision. The new volume contains every correction and -addi tion that the lapse of another year has rendered necessary ; and the excellence of the machinery by which this is effected enables the editors to bring their labour; down to a very rec-nt period. A book in daily use, as this is, and suhjectcd to such frequent reference, is tested as cldsely as it is possible to test anything of the sort ; and the best praise that we can bestow upon it is. that we never knew it to mi,lead any one by false or Imperfect information. Every yell' ne cessarily improves the methods laiddohn for collecting the peculiar kind of intelligence its which it deals, and ensures the more certainly the accurtcy of its registration ; and as the book has long distanced competition, so is it likely to remain what it Wks now for some years been, an extraordinary and unparalleled monument of diligence, energy, and enterprise. WEEKLY DIAPATCH, NOVEMBEU 17, 1850. Messrs. Kelly and Co. have just published the fifty-second annual edition of the " Post Office Directory." Having examined the con tents of this mammoth book, in every department, with scrutinizing attention, and having before given our unqualified approbation of it, we may readily be excused for printing the following observa tions from the address of the spirited publishers, awl adopting them as our own :—" The Directory was long at lira head of books of its class, and has now, for many years, stood alone : its varied lists, classifications, and arrangements, compr'sing as they do —` Official Directory ;" Street Directory ;" Commercial Directory;' Trades' Directory ;" Law Directory ;" Court Directory;' Parliamentary Directory;' Postal Directory ;' City Directory ;" Conveyance Directory ;" Banking Directory,' &c., leave all chances of com petition at hopeless distance, as successive attempts have fullyproved.

The several Directories of ,streets, trades, professi mis and persons, are a re marka,le example of this.

SPECTATOR, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. This gigantic publication, with its two thousand pages of closely packed type, seems to leave nothing more to be desired in the way of new subjects, or the exhibition of those subjects in different as pects, sl that the searcher, who from want of particulars fals In one mode cf examination, may have recourse to another. If there are here and there slight errors or omissions of detail, they may f .Irly be ascribed to the multiplicity of minutia', or to the necessity of sometimes relying on second-hand information. It would be well, however, to bear in mind the necessity of unceasing watchfulness as regards accuracy. JOHN BULL, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. The fifty •second edition of that monster repertory of the great Babylon of modern times, and of all that dwell and trade therein, —Kelly's " Post Office London Dire ctor y for 1S51" —is now lying before us; boating witness in its annually increasing bulk to the incessant growth of the metropolis in all directions. In every de partment of its encyclopaedic contents the present edition furnishes evidence of the indefatigable industry with which it is kept ` au tour int' of the countless changes which take place from year to year in so vast a population. HERAPATIP3 it \ILWAY JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. The fifty-second annual edition, which has just appeared, merits all that could be said for it. The 3lessre.

It is tin ,ossible to deny that up ta, and including the present praiseworthy ed tion, they hive succee'cd. They hare now securely in their hands the monopoly of the book, and far from abusing it, the result bears evidence that it has been beneficial to the public. ATLAS, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. Year after year adds to the wonders of this digest of the most wonderful of modern cities. "London," said M. Scrite, "is not a City. but an agglomeration of divers interests, passions, and preju dices." Whatever these may be, they are all tab!ed in this volume, with a completeness and accuracy without a parallel. We scarcely know which to be the most proud ef=the enormous city which could furnish material,: for such a work, or the industry and enterprise necessary to reduce to order such a complex variety of facts, which make the volume as interesting to the curious as it is indispensable to men of business.

GEORGE ' EDWARD HOLLEST, of Fernley, Surrey.—Frimley, Bag shut, December 4, 1150.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLIEST, who for a p rind of 13 years, in an exemplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. ilo:lest was soddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provision for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a fitinly so fearfully bereft of Its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will he thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. [Terries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co.; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir 8. Scott, Bart., and Co., I, Cavendish square; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs.

(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Incr., cap. 1 I 0.) The leaaing principles of this Office era —lllMerate and equitable Rates or Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Corapanies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk to made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premlim for Fire Insaranee can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted en, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Aver,ge, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal s sis of its own experience, from time to tirr e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange.. menta as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual Investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of ono moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Cosnpeny upon every description of Pr,nerty on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clanse.

We congratulate Mr. KPlly On the appearance of the; fifty-second edition of this most valuable publication. To convey a correct idea by description of the enormous: amount of labour which must have been employed in collecting an 1 arranging the materials, or of the variety of the subjects comprised in this Directory, is beyond our power.. A mere enumeration of the getter 1 heads under which these subjects are placed would fill a column of our paper. Suffice it, therefore, to say, that to the merchant, the trader, the lawyer, the tanker—in fact, to every class of the community whose business may lead them to require the aid of a Directory, Mr. Kelly's volume is indisp, MININC4 JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. The old adage, that " a great book is a great evil," is triumphantly fal-itled by the annual publication of this imclosing velame, with its 2,000 pages, and its vast mass of practical information. All competi tors, at all approaching the same comprehensive stale, have lately dropped off; so that the work, both in its dimensions and the im mense variety of information is affords, is now unique. It stands alone, and is likely long to remain so in the extent of Its revurces the collective array of details of streets and squares of the great metropolis and inhabitants thereof. The admirable classification and arrangement of this mass of information forms, perhaps, its most striking feature and the secret of its usefulness, sinceunderits various heads—" Official," "Commercial," "Trades," " Parliamentary," " Banking," &c.—the required fact 'nay almost infallibly be ascer tained. It cannot be presumed that there Is any apparent Improve ment on its predecessors of the last few years, since the arrange ments hardly admitted of a change for the better. There is ample evidence, however, that the 52nd volume of the Directory contains the latest changes up to the time of Its appearance —in that rapeet doing vast credit to the watchful care bestowed upon Its contents down to the minutest details. In a wcrd, it em bodies a dozen Directories in one, each under its separate depart ment containing the precise information calculated to be of practical use to the public for whom it has been so elaborately compiled. LITEBARY GAZETTE, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. This massive volume, which yearly increases in size and useful ness, has made its usual appearance. The inhabitants of London are catalogued for us by the editors, not only alphabetically, but accord ing to their occupations and residences. A " Parliamentary Direc tory," a "Postal Directory," and " City," " Conveyance," " Bank ing." and " Assurance Directories," eontain under their respective heads every item of information that can be useful, so adin:rably arranged as to be instantly accessible. No resident in the metropolis should be without the " Post Office Directory." It is as necessary and serviceable to the Nobleman and the Esquire, as it is absolutely essonVal to the Banker, the Lawyer, the Merchant, the Manufac turer, and the Tradesman. BRITANNIA, NOVEMBER la, 18;0 * MODERN BABYLON, The advertisement sheets of a leading journal have with justice b e en characterised as the m iniature of the easats, the w a s , es, and the employments of the nation, of which a perfect Directory would be the daguerreotype Such a sun-painting of living London now lies before us, comprised in a mass of piper and print that frights us to behold. More than two thousand pages of close printing, and ma ny columns in each page, are requited to chronicle the residences and the occupations, not of London en masse, but merely of her upper and middle classes. All will agree with us in designating the well known" Post Office Directory" as amost use hl book, if not an a anal necessary to the man of business. We must, however, go farther. and speak of it as one as full of Instruction as rf information, and more profitable for useful consideration than many a book filled from cover to cover with statistics of men arid things. In its mass of type we have London laid out before us, in the social re lations of her people, as clearly as the best panorama has ever depicted the brick and stone of her outward garb. She is here, living, breathing London, represented by the classes who form the strength of her population, who not only consume, but by them selves and their subordinates create the wealth of which she boasts. Let us consider the various divisions of our higher and middle classes as they are map, ed out before us. Within her boundaries, as the mart of commerce, as well as the seat of Royalty and Government— the emporium of trade, as well as the centre of professional exertion and talent—officials, courtiers, merchants, professionals, and trades men, are gathered in perfect masses. When we speak of these boundaries we speak not of the narrow closely-packed city, within its ancient line of walls, whence the great aggregate of the metro polis takes its name, but of that aggregate of life and life's abodes that forms the practical metropolis. We speak of a city of upwards of seven thousand streets, and more than one hundred and fifteen thousand houses. inhabited by the upper and middle classes. We speak of a city in which more than two thousand different trades are carried on, where commerce musters upwards of seventy-six thousand followers—where thirty-thous tnd officials are daily at work—and where upwards of sixteen hundred barristers hope for business, with the encouraging knowledge that were all the metro politan attornies there among them, there would be just a brace for each member of the other branch of the profession. For five miles front north to south, for nearly eight from east to west, this city extends, with little more space uncovered by houses than suffices for the daily traffic of its masses, and same half-dozen tiny lungs for their weekly respiration. When we hear in mind that these num bers refer only to the upper and middle classes of our metropolitan hive, we shall not be surprised at the numbers of masters whom we find arranged under each separate head of those divisions of science or art into which we must now sub-divide London. Indeed, their numbers, more especially when due regard is paid to the numbers of the sections by which the necessaries of life are furnished, form the best evidence of the swarming masses of our working popu lation which go to fill up the complement of its myriads. Large as is the population accounted for among the list of " respectables," it sinks into insignificance when compared with that living swarm for which the pur veyors of food in London buy and sell. Our capitalists require 500 architects and 800 builders to devise and build houses for them. and spoil streets; as well as an equal number of artists to paint their forms and faces. Our delicate eaten rejoice in the pre sence of 480 pastry-cooks ; with the comforting and consoling knowledge that the chemists and druggists muster 200 more. Our lovers of smoke fear no tobacco famine whilst 800 shops remain open for the sale of the noxious weed. Our ladies have 800 linen-. drapers' shops at their command —good, bad, and indifferent; be sides 240 haberdashers, and upwards of 300 hosiers and glovers For their brighter ornaments other 300 jewellers labour, whilst nearly 1,000 milliners form the delicate coverings on which the jewels are to sparkle If we turn from luxuries to necessaries, from the adornment of the . body and the gr atification of the tastes, to its necessary support and the coverings that nature demands, the supply of master traders is equally un bounded. More than fifteen hundred butchers keep shops for our repasts, aided by a thousand green grocers, to supply vegetables; two thousand four hundred other grocers add their useful condiments mixture m called s many bakers pray to supply the family with that London bread ; whilst hard upon two thousand publicans, aided by half a thousa d retailers, will send in the requisite supply of malt at a moment's notice. Two thousand six hundred professors of tailoring await your orders, supported by four hundred hatters to defend from the weather the locks or the wigs which any of-the seven hundred professors of hair-dre - sing, let alone the poor- barbers, will gladly dress or supply. Six hundred and odd coal merchants —real and brass-plate—will slightly bod y d i t s o co t l l e i ct a eight hundred and eighty supplyhe coals to boil the kettle for the tea, which manufacturers of milk will weakest and: their iid p a t t h e e n t soa composition. l. Fo r the mighty t u y s u ta l t u rn s , f r r o o u m thr hundred and fifty public and national schools proffer education, mostly free ; whilst seven hundred e and fifty other private acade mies will supply a similar article ac the National Church one hundred and fort.crding to the price. 1 3 Y -nine churches arepro vided for the peol'le, more than halt of which are practically hclosed to the poor, brreason of their being private property. The rest of the religious accommodation is divided among - the sections and sub • sections of Dissent, numbering one hundred and eighty in all. Wll3s 1251 8 6 127 0 o_4 419 8 8 . I ISCRI PTIONS.

DR. GARDNER'S CELEBRATED WORM MEDICINE. It is a melancholy fact that. thousands are suffering the privation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause so prevalent as that of worms in the human body. The common symptoms are disagreeable odour of the breath, fe vered tongue, heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and paleness of the lips, frequent itching of the nose, appe tite irregular, and the bowels also, pale and emaciated countenance, and, at other times, the face will be flushed, griping pains, a short dry cough, great thirst, vomiting, starting during sleep, and grinding of the teeth. Youth or age may with the utmost safety have re course to this old-established medicine.

Mosaic Bard ! your lines, addressed to me, Were not unwelcome lines—how could they be I feel quite proud, in fact, that one like you Should notice ma—upon my marl I do Nor would I let this first occasion slip, Of warmly thanking such a brother "chip." I do not wonder at your feeling " nettled," On finding how the " Laureateship" is settled. When first you heard of what I'm now enjoying, The disallointment must have been annoying. The wonder is that you so calmly met it, When every one expected "yon" to get it ; T get the berth, I mean, of Laureate Bard, The lo•s of which you seem to take so hard. liu`, really, what with one thing and another, You're far more honoured than your laurelled brother. Think for a moment, cousin, what you arc The muse of MOSES, that commercial star. Proud would your brother be if he could jump From his appointed " post" to Aldgate pump. The " c'otii" of MOSES (understand the phrase) Would please me quite as much as my " green bays." Should MOSES, as you've hinted, change his muse, And let me pop into your honour's shoes, Good service to the dress I'll strive to do, Although I know I can't come up to you ; And oft shall MOSES have a rhyming benison, From sour exalted brother, ALFRED TENNYSON.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Xpothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Bre. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the kuatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un "ertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive Uncial once and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi !lan for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of ut, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance whore alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest •nedicalhonours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these liseases.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY MoaNlNc.—The Brail estate of the Earl of Mounteashel was set up for sale at Belfast on Tuesday, by order of the Commissioners of Encum bered Estates. It was offered in 26 lots, 23 of which were readily disposed of, several of them realizing very high rates of purchase. A few samples will indicate the general result. The second lot, containing 1,137 rims, and producing a profit rental of 698/. a year, was knocked down to Mr. Fulton, of Lisburne, for 13,0001. The next lot, yielding a profit-rent of only 1491. per annum, sold for 3,150/. The fourth lot, consisting of 1,100 cores, yielding a profit rental of 4071., was also purchased by Mr. Fulton, for the sum of 8,650/. A profit rent of 49/. 14s. went for 1,0251. ; and, still more remarkable, let 9, containing 188 acres, yielding a net profit rent of 161. 1 ls. 10., with but one tenant, brought 1,4501. The 17th lot, consisting of 1,606 acres, on which there was also but one tenant, and producing a profit rent of 32/. 1 le. 9d, realized 3,2001. The 21st lot, comprising 1,479 acres, on which there are 45 tenants, and yielding a profit rental of 433/. 16s. 3d., sold for 6,9301. The entire sales of the dray realized the sum 0E82,725/. The sale of the residue of the Kell. estate is fixed for the 7th of January. PERVERSIONS.—The confirmation of the report of Mr. William Monsell's secession to the Romish Church has caused but little surprise among those who were ac quainted with the antecedents of the Hon. Member for the county of Limerick, and recollected the strong pre deliction he entertained for the observance of not a few of the religious customs of the Roman Catholic faith. If rumour speak truly, there are some additional " conver• sions" (including a clergyman of the Established Church), about taking place, but although the names of the promised perverts have been bruited abroad, it would, in this age of misrepresentations, be manifestly improper to give them further publicity until the whole truth shall bo known.

INTERESTING F.CREW 7 TRIAL AT PORTS3IO-lITH.—:•The Hogue, GO, steam guard-ship, Captain Macdougall, bas recently been tried under steam at the Pleasured mile in Stokes Bay, to determine the relative effects of two screws differing only in their pitch. In the first trial the pitch of the screw was 21 feet, and in the second it was only 19 feet, the diameter of each screw being 16 feet. In the first experiment the mean speed of the en gines during six trials was 47.16 strokes in a minute ; and the nr.-an speed of tha ship in the same trials was at the rate o' 7.693 nautical miles an hour. In the accond experiment the engines worked up to a mean speed of 36 strokes in a minute, and the mean speed of the ship in six trials seSs at the rate of 8.45 nautical miles en hour. The al vantage is thus shown to be in the screw with the smaller pitch, by its Riving the ship an increase of speed at the rate of three•fuurths cf a nautical mire an hour.

Second Mister Eduard Youell (1846), of Inca, flag ship, Mediterranean, has been promoted, to the rank of master, vice Dowers, late of the Ballerophon, 78, who died within the limits of the Mediterraneen•atation. This promotion is in every way creditable to the judg ment of Sir William, as Mr. Youell is a very deserving officer, having during the period he has been in the ser vice given the utmost an , isfaction to all the captains under whom he has served. Mr. Youell was engaged in the operation on the coast of China while belonging to her Majesty's ships Serpent and Thalia ; since then he has served under the flag of Sir William Parker, in her Majesty's ships Hibernia and Queen. Mr. Youell is the son of Lieutenant Youell (1812), of Plymouth. Lieut. Bosville J. Wilson (1832), Admiralty agent in China packets, son of the late General Sir Robert F. Wilson, died at Hung-Kong. THE AHPHITRITE.—With the exception of the ap pointmeat of Captain Frederick to this ship, who has taken up his commission, we are really not able to an nounce the name of one single offic:r who has followed bis example. Mr. Williams, the master, has declined the appointment, and another has been named in his place. Mr. William Morgan, the paymaster and purser, al o declines serving, for what reason we cannot tell. It is really high time for the Admiralty to inei.t upon offi tea taking up their appointments when notnicased, un less they are physically incapacitated from serving. FRIZE MONEY FOR THE DART.—Halford and Co. have given notice to the officers and crew of the Dart, Edward Bill, Esq., lieutenant commanding, that an account of bounty for tonnage received for the Despigue, captured 11th May, 1849, will be forthwith deposited.
