Application to be made (if by letter poet-paid) as above. (for nothing is omitted which any person can possibly wish to find), we do say that this " Post Office Directory" is a most extraor. dinary undertaking. As a proof of the vigilance which has been exercised in bringing down the matter to the latest possible period, Lord Western's name will not be found in the " Parliamentary Directory." Similar instances of attention might be adduced. As tests we hare turned to several names of persons among our own acquaintance who have recently changed their residence, and iu no one case have we found the change overlooked. This is conclusive proof of the general care that is bestowed to render the work ac curate as well as voluminous; for it is fair to conclude that any one applying the test within his own range, would find the same vigi lance. In every point of view it is a work of vast utility, and in dispensable to all persona who have any business to transact in this mighty centre of business, It supersedes all other guldqs and Directories. GLOBE, Nov. 10, 1844. The claims to public patronage of this most elaborate and well_ arranged Directory have been so fully established, as to render any notice of it almost an act of supererogation. In addition to the extensive and varied information by which this work was already distinguished, we find in the volume for 1845, a considerable quan. tity of new and appropriate matter, arranged under various heads. All this has been done—notwithstanding the greatly increased size of the volume—without any additional charge. The yearly outlay of capital required to produce the work must be immense ; the reward of the enterprise and labour will, we trust, be in ptopor lion to it. lIHREPATIeI RAILWAY AND COMMERSIAL ADVERTISER, Nov. 16, 1844. How such a mass of information was ever brought together, even in the 1,900 large pages of this volume, it is difficult to imagine, even though we take into account that to effbct it, has tasked the ample resources of its owners for a series of years. The result, however, is that a commercial book of reference has been produced worthy of the commercial capital of the world. The high character of the Post Office Directory has given it a place in every house of real business ; indeed, not to possess it is to be without information to which every man in the United Kingdom commercially employed should have ready access. In the " Conveyance Directory" the matter connected with Railways is full and recent. Within our space enumeration of the various subjects cannot be attempted, nor can such be requisite. It can be only necessary of a work so universally known to say, that the number of the Poet Office London Directory for 1845 is by far the best and most complete edition of the work which has ever been produced. Higher praise it would be difficult to bestow. The Map with which the book is accompanied, entitled " Modern London and its Environs," is an entirely new one, and one of the best plans of the Metropolis we have yet seen. RAILWAY REGISTER, Dec. I, 1544. There are few men of business who do not take in the "Post Office Directory," and to such, an enumeration of its contents is almost valueless; but for those who do not, it may be as well to make some further remarks, and the more so, as it only needs an acquaintance with that work to be convinced of its intrinsic value and great utility. There are some offices where the expenditure for a new Directory is grudged on the ground that it is laying out money for what they do not want, and they grub on without a " Post Office Directory," or with only one of Pigot's or Robson's superannuated Directories. A sharp, acute man of business would, however, just as soon be persuaded to part with his inkstand as with his "Post Office Directory," for it not merely saves more than its cost in time, but it is a valuable instrument for carrying on business. As a means of ready reference it is valuable, as a man's name, residence, and occupation are .00n found, and a re. ference to an old Directory will show how long he has been en. gaged in such pursuits, and furnish prima facial evidence is to respectability. This is so melt understood in proper quarters, that on-such matters the " Post Office Directory" will be found quoted in the leading articles of the Times, in Government and Parlia. mentary reports, and before the police and criminal courts. Does the Times, with ready sagacity, detect a swindling firm trying to prey on the community—the " Post Office Directory" it immediately appealed to, to show that the pseudo firm is not to be found enrolled in its columns. It would appear inexplicable that a day register of this kind should be fo'ind playing such an important part in the com mercial community, if it were not well ascertained that Its con- ducters display the greatest energy and accuracy in car• rying out their undertaking. The return of the circulation of country banks prefixed to the "Banking Directory" is the heat which has yet appeared, and the only digest of the Population Returns, applying to the metropolis, is the one in the " City Di rectory," which gives the population and income.tax of each parish in the metropolis, and a laborious analysis of the occupations of the population, deduced from the Census of 1841. Were this work more carefully looked to in country places, the swindling bill and other firms would find a little more difficulty In carrying out their nefarious pursuits. In conclusion, we say, When you want anything, always look in the Post Office Directory." luxe - clump LONDON NEWS, NOT. 23, 1844. Twenty years have made a strange alteration in the bulk •f this almost indispensable Directory.

CLASSES. D RAVING GALLERY, 18i, Maddox-street ELECTION OF GUARDIANS. MEMORANDUM. Poor-law Commission Office, Somerset-house, Dec. 31, 1844. The Act 7 and 8 Victoria, c. 101, requires-- 1. Every owner, i❑ order to be entitled to vote either as owner or by proxy, at the election of guar dians, should, before the Ist day of February, have given to the overseers a statement of his name and address, together with a description of the property in the parish for which he claims to vote. Such de scription must show the nature of the interest or estate he may have in such property; it must also show the amount of rent service (if any) which he may receive or pay in respect of such property; and the name of the persons from whom he may receive, or to whom he may pay, such rent. 2. If this has been done, the owner may vote him self, or he may vote by proxy; but if he vote by proxy, the proxy must, fourteen days at least before he votes, send to the overseers the original, or an attested, copy of his appointment as proxy ; together with a statement of the owner's name and address, and the property in respect of which he claims to vote as proxy. 3. On or before the sth of February, the overseers of parishes containing a population exceeding 2,600, according to the last census, are to prepare a registry of the names and addresses of the owners and proxies who have given the statement, or made the claim above referred to, before the Ist of the month. 4. This registry is to be open to the inspection of all persons any time between the sth and 10th of February; and any owner or proxy who has given in his statement, or made his claim to vote, or any rate-payer, may object to the vote of an owner, by delivering, before the 15th of February, a notice, in writing, of the grounds of his objection to the clerk of the guardians and also at the address of the per son objected to. 5. On or before the 20th of February the clerk is to provide for the revision of the list, so far as regards owners objected to, which will revised -n some day between the 24th of February and Ist of March. Any objection to be held valid must be supported by the person objecting at the time of revision. Hanover-square.

We have received a, statement of the " case and merits" of the Direct Northern Railway, which makes out very fully the grounds upon which the project was first brought forward, as announced to the public by the orning Post, in its City corre spondence, as long ago as the beginning of April last. The Direct Northern is so clearly the line be tween London and York (presuming a new line to be necessary, which is generally felt to be the case) for the public adoption, that we need do but little more, in the present stage of its progress, than to draw at tention to the statement alluded to, which has been printed for distribution. According to this docu ment, the Railway Commissioners report that the traffic on the Midland lines is already too great, which, of course, implies that another line is called for. The Direct Northern line eases the Midland trains of all the traffic going north of York, effecting an economy in the expense of travelling ; and being under but one direction, the time consumed on the road will be abridged by it even without an accelera tion of the speed. For these reasons alone all the Scotch interest and influence will be obtained for it in Parliament, and, from the circumstance of it not being liable to competition hereafter, it cannot but prove a good sound investment for capitalists. Such is the prevalent feeling, and hence the advance of the shares to-day to a premium of nearly per share. The main trunk at York is carried onward by a bridge over the York and North Midland Railway, and joins the Great North of England line at a point about a mile-and-a-half beyond the city of York, for the purpose of avoiding the detention that now occurs to onward passengers, whether proceeding north or south. It is of importance to the supporters of the project that the Directors have been acting to the utmost practicable extent upon the policy laid dovvii as desirable, in the execution of railway enter prises, by the Parliamentary Commission appointed to report upon the subject of this branch of the na tional economy three or four years since. The London and York Company, in the plan of the line they have brought forward, would appear not to have been moving in a like spirit in accordance also with the suggestions of the Commission. The statement of the Direct Northern Company has the following pas sage bearing upon the point : " This mode of crossing the York and North Mid land line has been adopted in conformity with the following recommendation contained in the fourth report of the Railway Commissioners in 1841 (p. 43). We consider it improper that the traffic of any new line should open upon the York and North Mid land Railway, with which so many lines are already in connexion as to render delay unavoidable, and col lision not improbable. In consequence of the nume rous trains of luggage and passengers using this line, nearly two hours are sometimes occupied in passing over a little more than thirty miles from York.' Not withstanding the opinion thus decidedly expressed, the proposed competing line of ' the London and York' comes upon the York and North Midland Rail way in the very manner objected to by the Railway Commissioners as likely to lead to danger, and cer tain to cause delay." The framers of the document state that a striking illustration of the progress which the direct principle is making, and of the importance of saving a few miles on the main line of a railway, is most oppor tunely afforded by the fact that the London and Bir mingham and Grand Junction Railways have con sented, after several years of opposition, to join in the formation of a new line from Stafford to Rugby, forty-eight miles seventy-seven chains in length, at an estimated cost of about a million, for the sole pur pose of effecting a saving of nine miles thirty-nine chains between London and Stafford (a distance of 141 miles 15 chains), and this, too, although the effect of the alteration is to carry all the through traffic past, and not through, the important town of Birmingham, which is thus placed, as it were, on a a branch with reference to the main line of communi cation ; and that it is also remarkable that the line in that direction, originally contemplated and submitted to Parliament, was laid down so as to save the dis tance now to be curtailed at so great a cost, but that local interests prevailed at the time over the direct principle, and carried the line round by Birmingham. Successive alterations have, it is added, at great cost, also been made, or are about to be made, in several other principal lines, viz., in the original Birmingham and Liverpool, the Birmingham and Manchester, the Manchester and Leeds, the South-Eastern, and others, all of which alterations must be considered as adop tions of, or approximations to, the direct principle. The Com m itt ee , it i s further observed, are confi dent that neither the Legislature nor the Board of Trade will now sanction a line from London to York on merely local grounds, but will regard the question as one of general national importance, for that it is evident that all persons to the south of the London terminus or on the north of the York terminus, who desire to travel or transmit goods in either direction, have a clear interest in the formation of the shortest through line, and that, for example, while it may be for the convenienc . of persons residing at Peter borough, when they wish to travel or send goods to London, that the main trunk should be brought round by that town, it is equally clear that it is not for their convenience that it should bend round by Grantham, Newark, and Doncaster, when they wish to travel or send goods to York, any more than it is for the convenience of persons residing at Grantham, Newark, or Doncaster to be carried round by Peter borough or any of the other towns, when they wish to travel or send goods to London. In short, that nothing but the direct principle (facilities for lateral branches being always provided) resolves the question of general aggregate convenience It has been objected that the Direct Northern line does not accommodate the same amount of local po pulation as the proposed London and York line. But this objection is combated, and a reference to the plans of the two Companies is challenged in support of the assertion that such want of accommodation is not to be established, various other matters being ad duced, in substantiation of the statement of the writers to that effect. . , To be viewed at the Queen's Warehouse, Custom-house, Thames. street, at the East and West India, London, and St. Katherine Docks, and at the Tobacco-ground, Itotherhithe, on Thursday 9th, Friday 10th, and Saturday, 11th January, 1845, from Ten o'clock in thy morning until Three o'clock in the afternoon ; and on the days of Sale, from Tea o'clock in the morning until Twelve o'cloel at noon.

SAMBRE and AIEUSE CENTRAL RAIL WAY COMPANY.—An article has appeared In several newspapers relative to the Sambre and Meuse Railway Central Line. The in clined planes of this Railway are lot three miles in length, although au assertiJn has been hazarded that they exceed six miles, and their gradients are such that locomotive power Will be used for traction along the whole line. Tlie only surveys made fora Railway in the distri c t s o f t h e Sambre and Meuse, open for discussion in the Belgian Chambers, are that of the western line and the central or direct line (Taylor's), upon which this Company is based. Further information may be obtained at the temporary offices of the Company, 15, OH Jewry-chambers, London, from whence the prospectuses and shares will be issued.

This line will possess many advan tages over the original line, adopting the Valley of the L'Eau d'Heure, and be much superior to Taylor's (or the central line), as it avoids the very objectionable gradients and inclined planes of six miles in length, by which that line is embarrassed, and which has caused it to be condemned for the purposeoflocal traffic, or as an international passenger line, by all competent persons in Beigiuin Further particulars will speedi , y be furnished when certain arrange ments have been made in Brussels and Paris, and the direction Is de flnit!vely formed.

Annuitants participate in the profits of the Company, and receive a rate of annuity much more favourable than cau be granted by aay Company making its investments wholly in England. The Company is enabled securely to grant these favourable terms front the advan tage it possesses of investing a portion of its fluids at a high rate of interest. The general views of the Company are reduced to the following propositions, and into the merits of which inquiry is invited : " 1. That an independent line between London and York is required by the public, and will com mand a sufficient traffic to yield an ample return. " 2. That the interests of a large proportion of the population of England, and of the whole of Scotland, require that the most direct line should be adopted. " 3. That the Direct Northern not only satisfies these conditions, by being the shortest line between London and York, but it is preferable by the charac ter of its gradients, and its economical construction. " 4. That the line being the shortest and cheapest possible, passengers and goods may be carried by it at a lower rate of charge than by any other. " 5. That the primary object of shortening the distance is attained by the Direct Northern, with due regard to intermediate and local interests, and without needlessly interfering with the traffic of existing lines. " 6. That as a question of investment of capital, it is essential that the most direct line should be taken to prevent future competition, or expensive alterations for the protection or improvement of the original line, and that, consequently, none but direct lines can con stitute a permanent property."—Morning Post. THE QUEEN AND THE ARTS.—In other ways be sides sitting for her portrait, the Queen affords employ ment for artists; and though the commissions do not ex tend much beyond drawings for the royal album or for pre sents, still even this moderate encouragement is beneficial —even if the distinction of royal patronage be accounted as a part of the remuneration. Nor is this con fined to artists of celebrity ; whenever talent worthy of recognition is brought under the notice of the Queen or the Prince, it is sure to be appreciated; and . 4 4 is not the price paid, but the countenance shown, that is the most valuable part of royal patronage. Instead of lavishing thousands upon one or two favoured artists, the Queen distributes the sum she devotes to this source of enj,yment among many, including some to whom such honour is most valuable. —Spectator.

See his reports in Nov. 1531. He states that the tenacious sympathy of the membrane, within the nostrils, with the nervous system, that Grim stome's Eye Snuff, when frequently taken, must be of the greatest benefit to the consumer; and, further, recommends its universal adoption as a preventative.

In the year 1843 thirty-one Baronets died, three of which became extinct. Four Baronets only have been created since the ac cession of Sir Robert Peel's Ministry, viz., Sirs John Pirie, Hugh Gough, William Magnay, and William Parker. The total number of Baronets now amounts to 897, of whom 37 are in the church. The total number of Peers is 564, to wit :—Two Peers of the Blood Royal, 27 Dukes, 37 Marquises, 212 Earls, 60 Viscounts, and 226 Barons. No new peerage has been created since Sir R. Peel's acces sion, and the only elevations have been those of Baron Hill to a Viscounty, and of Baron Ellenborough to an Earldom. One eldest son of a Peer, Lord Stanley, has been called to the Upper House during his father's lifetime, and placed in hi., father's Barony. There are two other Peers in the House similarly situated : Earl Bruce, the eldest son of the Marquis of Ailesbury, and the Earl of Uxbridge, eldest son of the Marquis of Anglesea. Of the whale number of Peers, 26 are minors, viz., the Marquises of Bath, Drogheda, Hastings, and Lothian; the Earls of Annesley, Carrick, Coventry, Darnly, Durham, Granard, Hopetoun, Kintore, Munster, Pomfret, and Rothes ; Viscounts Bangor, Clifden, and Powerscourt ; and Barons Dufferin and elaneboyne, Garrah, Grey of Groby, Henley, Lang ford, Massy, Muncaster, and Ribblesdale. By far the oldest Peer is the Baron Mountsanford, who has nearly completed his 89th year. Several others have, however, attained a ripe old age, among whom may be enumerated the following :—Baron Berners, who is 82 ; Earl Grey, who is nearly 81 ; the Earl of Harrowby, 82 ; the Marquis of Huntley, who is in his 84th year ; the Earl of Macclesfield, nearly 82; the Earl of Mornington, in his 82d year : and Baron Plunket, in his 81st. The Archbishop of Canterbury is in his 80th year; the Archbishop of York in his 88th; and the Bishop of Bath and Wells is in his 84th year. There are 48 Peers in the army, viz. :—5 Dukes, 5 Marquises, 18 Earls, 5 Viscounts, and 15 Barons, while there are only 16 in the navy, viz., 1 Duke, 7 Earls, 1 Viscount, and 7 Barons ; and the following are in holy orders—the Earl of Abergavennv and Guildford ; Viscounts Downe, Hereford, Mount morres, and Sidmouth ; and Barons Aston, Bayning, Berners, Berwick, Decies, De Saumarez, Fitzgerald and Vesey, Hartland, and Rodney.

ENLARGEMENT OF SMITHFIELD MARKET. —A meeting of the principal graziers and butchers frequent ing Smithfield, took place yesterday, at the Ram Inn, for the purpose of procuring an extension of that part of the market allotted for the sale of sheep. The chair was taken by Mr. J. Weal!, who pointed out the incon venience of the present arrangement, observing that, as the Corporation of the City of London derived a very large revenue from the tolls, it was only reasonable to expect that they would endeavour to consult the con venience of those resorting to the market. It was ulti mately agreed that a memorial should be presented to the Court of Common Council, praying for the proposed enlargements. The following robbery upon Messrs. de Roths child is related by the Journal de r Oise :—" The house of Rothschild, of London, has been in the habit of sending considerable sums in specie to the house in Paris. Lately the conducteur of one of these convoys, on arriving at La Chapelle. missed seven cases of Spanish piastres, each weighing above 130 kilogrammes, making a total loss of 140,000 f. The conducteur thinks that the robbery was committed at Voisinlieu, while he was taking some refreshment. The Administration of the Mossageries, having laid an information before the Procureur du Roi at Beauvais, it has been aseertained that when the diligence was weighed on the weigh bridge at Abbeville, the cases could not then have been on the coach, and therefore the robbery must have been committed between Boulogne and Abbeville. Every search and inquiry is being made," ADVENTURES OP AN OFFICER IN THE SERVICE OP RUNJEET SINGH, ET MAJOR H. M. L.

The Britannia, in reviewing it, ob serves ;—" These volumes resemble ' Anastasius ' in general design. The adventures of a soldier of fortune are made the medium of conveying to the reader spirited descriptions and faithful portraiture, while there is sufficient connection and incident in the uarrative to give it the interest of a fiction. The country of the Punjaub, the character of Runjeet and his Ministers, and the dis position and habits of the natives, are forcibly delineated. The 0 Adventures' themselves are boldly told, and have a lively air of reality. In its mingling of fact with romance, the book is one of the most successful of its kind." BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER AND BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAYS.—It seems to be generally admitted that the efficient working of the two ga uges, in so far as merchandise is concerned, is not to be I looked for, and that the only alternative is to on deavqur to bring about an amalgamation of the two Companies, so as to secure the laying down of the narrow gauge to Bristol from Gloucester. Several in terviews have already taken place between the Directors of the two Companies, and sums advance towards the basis upon which an amalgamation may be proposed to the Proprietors has been made. It is understood that one of the conditions is the laying down of the narrow gauge to Bristol in such a way as to render it available for the conveyance of goods. A. very influential meeting of mer chants and manufacturers was held on Thursday week, at lAirminghatn, at which resolutions, deprecating the bad ness of the arrangements in the conveyance of goods over both lines, were passed. We believe that the fault has been entirely with the Ciloneester Company and its late Manager t bus, as matters are now to be remedied, We Aep4 ;:0 iiol2 .4 ,err 7 - - -~ ~'~ ~% r FCIALE-1611 ARMIES: . ; In re appendix to a report on the army estimate.; just issued, the following interesting facts appear Bavaria has an infantry force of about 43,000 men, consisting of 16 regiments of 2 battalions 9 .: 0, and 4 battalions of sharp shooters.

Portw2al has a standing force of 21,503 infantry, costing about 750,0001. Hanover has an army of 20,501 men. The in fantry musters 15,580, in 16 regiments ; cavalry, 3,340 men and 2,445 horses, in three regiments ; artillery, 1,638 men and 175 horses in five cornpa nies, viz. :-2 companies of horse artillery, 2 battalions foot, 1 company of pioneers; engineers 198, military staff 45. The army costs 1,500,000 rix-dollars. Hesse Cassel supplies a contingent of 5,679 men, and a reserve of 2,000 to the Confederation. Its establishment is little more. The army is raised by conscription, to which all grown males under 50 are liable. The army costs about 110,000/. a year. Hesse Darmstadt has a peace establishment of 6,462 men, raised by a conscription of persons from 20 to 25 years of age, members of the mediatised houses alone excepted. Holland has a fixed army of 43,000 men, raised by voluntary enlistment for a limited time. The limitation creates a trained body by which the army can be increased to 70,000 men. Promotion is in future in all ranks, from Second Lieutenants up, to be two-thirds by seniority, and one-third by selec tion. The militia is composed of all males between 19 and 23 years of age. The army costs about 1,100,0001. a year. Naples has a standing army of 29,000 infantry of the line, 4,500 cavalry, 2,800 gendarmes, in all 44,300 men. Its war establishment is 64,247 men. The army is raised by a conscription of persons from 18 to 25 years of age. The time of service in the artillery, gendarmes, and volunteers, is 8 years ; in other are is, 5 years actual and sin reserve. There is no militia. The war department is said to cost 1,300,000/. Saxony has 13,000 men, and a reserve of 3,000 raised by conscription. Males of 20 years (with ex • ceptions) are liable to 6 years active, and 3 years re serve service. Spain.—The changes of late in Spain have greatly increased the regular army (which was only 60,000), and disarmed most of the militia; but there is no easily accessible account of their present state. Sweden has 8,346 men voluntarily enlisted, viz. :- 2,200 infantry, 5,446 artillery, and 1,000 horse guards. She has 24,500 infantry, and 7,000 cavalry—in all, 41,500 men, under what is called the Indelta system. SWITZERLAND has a federal militia supplied by the Cantons in proportion to their population. This force rates at 64,000, viz. -51,800 infantry, 5,800 ar tillery, 5,700 cavalry, and 700 engineers. A federal camp is formed every two years. The expenses of this militia are borne by a contribution of from 5 to 12 Swiss francs per man, paid by the Canton that sends him. The following statement of the 22 Can tons is interesting in many ways :—Area in square miles, 152,330; population at the end of 1837 :—. citizens of Cantons, 2,152,580 ; citizens of other Can tons, 120,662 ; foreigners, 54,767 ; total population 2,188,009; population to square miles, 1,437; Ca tholics, 847,088 ; Protestants, 1,285,935.

(From the New York Commercial Advertiser.) The trial of William Miller, which has been in progress before the Circuit Court at Troy for some days past, on a charge of murdering George 'West more than two years ago, in the town of Sandlake, Rensselaer county, was terminated on Tuesday. The evidence, though wholly circumstantial, seems to have been conclusive; and the jury, after being out a few hours, brought in a verdict of Guilty. On Wednes day morning, Judge Parker pronounced sentence of death upon the prisoner, assuring him there was no hope of a pardon. The 28th day of January is the day fixed for Miller's execution. (From the Troy Budget.) Tuesday, Dec. 3, Eleven, p.m. THE VERDICT.—At half-past ten o'clock the Court were notified that the jury had come in, and at eleven o'clock the Judges were all in their seats, when the prisoner entered, accompanied by the sheriff and his deputies, with the firm step and apparent confidence that have characterised him during the whole trial. The Court ordered the clerk to call the jury, and he put the question—Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon your verdict ? The foreman (Mr. Bow man) answered, We have. How do you find ? The foreman, who stood near the prisoner, extended him his hand, and, after a sympathising remark, with tears trickling down his cheeks, he turned to the clerk and said—Guilty. The prisoner received the verdict with his face a little flushed, but otherwise manifesting the same stoical indifference that he exhibited from the first. The Court received the verdict of the jury. and. then adjourned until eight o'clock this morning. Wednesday, Dec. 4, Eight, A.M. THE SENTENCE.—The Court-room at this hour was already filled. The prisoner was brought into Court a few minutes afterwards, and betrayed mere feeling than at any time before during the trial. Judge Parker requested the prisoner to stand up, and then addressed him as follows : " William Miller, you have - bein tried and found guilty of the murder of George West. The verdict Las not been less in accordance with the evidence produced than the clear opinion of the public. Have you anything to say why sentence should not be pro nounced against you in accordance with the law ? (The prisoner gave evidence of a desire to speak, but, after a little hesitation, barely remarked ' No, your honour, I have nothing to say at present.') It then becomes ray duty to announce to you the solemn judgment of the Court, by which your mortal. existence is to be brought to a speedy termination. In one particular your case is one of an extraordinary character. The atrociousness of your guilt is greatly increased by the circumstance that the man you murdered was your country man and bosom friend, reposing confidence in your integrity and esteem. You therefore added to the horrid crime of murder s that of black ingratitude and the foulest treachery ; Besides, you were a stranger in this country, and sought the enjoyment of its privileges. And here rpoYsoittlonfhav•- no again, by a betrayal of the trust that was repos e d . in you by your admission into a country to which you were an alien, and the violation of its laws, yolk have also exhibited the basest ingratitude.

Yo u • committed the act when no mortal eye was. upon you. But you were seen, watched, and marked by the • all-seeing eye of the Almight— y, and the day, too, will come when you will have . to stand before the Judg e o f a ll th e wor ld w i t h the evidence of your guilt full and overwhel m. ing. That you may have all the time that can be given to prepare for that more dreadful trial, we will give you the most extreme length of time that the: law allows. Every moment should be devoted to preparation for the momentous event." r THE CHANNEL ISLANDS We announced some time back that these mails would be removed from Weymouth to Southampton.

TLe following Reviews of the Work have already appeared : TIMES, Dec. 4, 1844. As far u utility is concerned no volume can exceed the elaims r of the Directory to universal patronage. Though it is of great bulk, it contains nothing that is superfluous, and is an exception to the general rule, that a great book is a great evil. This is the 49th volume of the series. It contains several useful additions to its immediate predecessor, more particularly in that portion called the " Postal Directory," and, as compared with the first volume, published nearly half a century ago, it shows an immense increase of information, and raay be considered as an index of the history of the vast increase of London, Westminster, and the suburbs. A work of this kind, combining the most extensive and at the same time the most accurate information of the residences, trades, pro fessions, &c., of 500,000 people, the names of hundreds of streets stud squares, arranged with such clearness of order, and so corn. preheasive as to direct the whole population where to find each ether, and in what manner to carry on the intercourse by letters, messengers, &c., is amongst the benefits which the progress of printing has conferred of late years, and ought to be appreciated in a way commensurate to its merits by the public. It affords a check to imposture, a facility to intercourse, and a guide to useful intelligence. In a word, the cost of this book can scarcely be better laid out than In its purchase. Moamtno CHRONICLE, Nov. 15, 1844. We have just received a copy of the above work, the nature and value of which must be well known to all our readers. A very cursory examination of It clearly shows that there has been a considerable Increase in all its various contents or departments, and, as far as we have been able to teat it, it does not appear that this increase has been made by any sacrifice of accuracy. Besides all th e department s w hi c h a pp eare d i n th e f ormer pu bli ca ti ons o f this work, we find that is the present volume there are several new chapters. All t hese appear t o h ave b een prepare d w i t h great care, an d furnish a valuable addition to the Directory, and this has been done—notwithstanding the greatly.inereased size of the volume-- without any additional charge; as the proprietors state that they rely upon an increased sale to compensate them for the additional outlay. We believe that this work, at the present time, has no com. petitor, and certainly, considering the evident care with which it has been prepared, and the high reputation which it s• deservedly bears for accuracy, together with its cheapness, we do not think that a competitor would have any chance of success, or—contrary to the general rule—that the public would derive the slightest ad. vantage from any such Competition. MORNING POST, Nov. 18, 1844. This work, by far the most valuable of the annual class, has made its appearance at an earlier period of the year than usual. Though in advance of time, the compilers and printers have bees so active that all the alterations usually introduced or expected have been effected. The " Parliamentary" and the " Official Directory" bear evidence that the latest changes have been noted. The large Map of London also, prefixed to the volume, has all the new streets and recent improvements carefully marked; and in the Railway Tables and "Conveyance Directory," the same attention to correct the work to the latest possible date is apparent. very village, as well as every town in England and Wales, having a poat.office is duly stated, with the time of arrival and departure of the London letters. No book of reference ef the kind could be mere complete. MoRNINa HERALD, Nov. 19, 1644. The edition for 1845 of this very useful work has just been issued. The usefulness of the ♦olume, as well as the immense lalsour that must have been expended in completing it, will be best judged of from a brief enumeration of its contents. The first portion of the work comprises a list of the hotels and convenient inns throughout England and Wales, with the names of the occu pants and the population according to the census of 1841. This, which extends over seventeen pages of small but clear type, i■ treble columns, is succeeded by the " Official Directory," which commences with an alphabetical list of persons holding situa tions under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank of England, and the various law, city, and all other public offices, and is followed by the division of the above into their proper departments, where the names of the offices are again given. This portion of the work is very faithfully compiled, and extends over about fifty pages. Next comes a list of the principal thoroughfares of the metropolis, with a direction to the post.office nearest to each thoroughfare. The more bulky portion of the work follows—the " Street Direc• tory,' and extends over nearly 500 pages. The " Commercial and Professional Directory" succeeds, occupying also nearly 500 pages ; then the " Trades Directory," of upwards of 450 pages ; the " Law Directory' . of some 70 pages; the " Court Directory" of nearly 100 pages ; a statistical account of the metropolis ; the " City Di rectory ;" the " Conveyance Directory" of some 120 pages ; the " Banking Directory" of 140 pages; and the " Assurance Three. tory" of some 40 pages. The typographies leharacter of the volume is as commendable as the fulness and faithfulness n Ithe work itself. MORNING ADVERTIEIIII, Nov. 15, 1844. This work, which has now stood the test of public opinion for nearly half a century, has just appeared. The edition for the pre sent year having been all sold, it became necessary to supply the void thus occasioned, and the result has been the production of the work at this early period. Notwithstanding the rapidity with which it has passed through the press, its general accuracy has been carefully preserved. It is really wonderful how so vast a mass of matter can be compiled so accurately and so well. We have looked throogh the pages of the " Directory" with the view •f testing its correctness, and we are bound t• say, that in no one in. stance could we find even the slightest ground to impugn its con summate fidelity. _ _ Scx, Nov. 14, 1844. • This work has now reached its forty-sixth annual publication, and latterly It has been brought out on such a comprehensive, cot'. rect, and extensive system, that it has driven all competitors from the field. The " Postal Directory," which has been compiled with great care, furnishes complete instruction as to the dispatch of letters and newspapers to all parts of the world ; and the list of the princi. pal places in England and Wales has been greatly enlarged. There is also a useful notice reweeting the obliterating stamps used at the post-office, with the list of the towns and the respective figures prefixed, which shows at once the place where the letter is posted, and thereby remedies a very common defect—the illegibility of the country post-office mark of the town. Besides these, there are several other improvements which contribute materially to the convenience of consulting a work so multifarious, and which contains not fewer than 1,980 pages of close, but very distinct, letterpress. This Directory is, perhaps, the most complete manual of the kind ever published. WEEKLY DISPATCII, Nov. 17, 1844. The" Post Office London Directory," which is published by the Messrs. Kelly, of Old Boswoll.court, is now before us. This edi tion for 1845, contains a vast increase of useful matter when com pared with former ones. One important department now added, is that which gives an official return of the amount of the circula. tion of notes by all private and joint-stock banks. Another CO. sion of the work afthrds the most minute description of the extent and population of London. The size of the volume Is greatly In. creased, and it is now decidedly the best, most comprehensive, and most useful work of the kind ever issued from the press. BRITANNIA, Nov. 16,1844. This pyramid of the publishing world comes out this year with increased claims te public favour. But it is a pyramid only in its vastness, its substance, and the immense labour employed to put it together. Instead of being the sepulchre ef one man it is the hive of a living million, a vast storehouse of facts, a library of commer. cial instruction, what for the year the Times newspaper is for the day —a publication that no other city of the world could •r can produce. There is no item of information which can by possibility be supposed to be contained in a " London Directory" that is not to be found in this. The work is perfect and complete of its kind, and as such we recommend it to the notice of the commercial world, though, indeed, by this time its merits are so well known that it needs little recommendation of ours. SPECTATOR, NOV. IS, 1844. Although this immense volume is now, we believe, literally un. rivalled, the absence of a competitor does not seem to have relaxed exertion or to have stopped extension. On the contrary, the book has grown with the growth of London, and we have the most corn. pl e te exhibition of a great cit y that p erhaps ever was made ; in i ts three grand phases of " Street Directory,'' where you are ignorant of the name but know it when you see it—" Commercial," " L aw, ss or " Official Directory," where, street unknown and name not re. membered, you may hunt out a man by his vocation—or in the re gular alphabetical list of persons it g ives at a reference to an indi vidual whose name 6 present. " Court , " " Parli amentary," veyance," " Assurance," " Postal," and other " Banking," " Con Directories for the distinct grades of society or important branches in the business of life, render the exhibition still more complete. A wonderful work is the " Post Office London Directory;" and, so far as we have taken steps to test it, wonderfully correct. RHIN 13tmL,ATiv. 23, 1844.
