Clam, this Company are prohibited by their deed of constitution from disputing any claim, unle-s they take upon themselves to prove that the policy upon which the claim arises was obtained by fraudulent tlaisrepresentatien. The Company are further bound to give effect to every policy, although the debt for which it may have been originally procured, or at any time held, may have been paid off before the claim arises. And that the value of policies may not be lessened or destroyed by parties going beyond the limits usually prescribed, the Company grant, upon payment of a small extra premium, general or whole world leave, which subsists during the currency of the policy. By these means the policies of the London, Edinburgh, and Zublip Life Company have come to be considered as forming secu. sties more complete and more easily negotiable than any other Tdruilar documents. A.surances are granted either with or without participation in prefita, and the utmost facility is given in regard to the payment of the premiums, by the assured having the option of pa, meat by a progressive ascending scale, or according to the half premium system, Continued for seven years.

I T follows from the recent investigations of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, as reported In the Athenaeum of October 19, that the quantity of light furnished by one Pound of PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES requires for its production flour pounds of ordinary tallow ones ; and, therefore, that the f , rmer, if at two shillings per lb., would be exactly as economical as the latter at sixpence per lb. Now, _PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES are not sold at two shillings per Fib., but at er under One Shilling per lb. They may be had of respectable dealers throughout the king dom, if care be taken to prevent any imitations being passed off as the I ,, atent Candles ; and the Trade may obtain them wholesale from Edward Price and co., Belmont, Vauxhall, and Palmer and to., Cuttou-street, Clerkenwell.

It will be seen by the following statement of Mr. J. Hawkins, ' 44 the late Meeting of the British Association, that these Candles :ate by far the cheapest light at present in use. " With regard to IPainlet's and the common Dip—when the latter was not snuffed Wener than about every ten minutes, it took four to be equal to 43 ne of the former ; and when u nsnufted altogether, it required eleven Pounds to be equal to one pound of Palmer's.

The claims to public patronage of this most elaborate and well. arranged Directory have been so fully established, as to reader 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 muNt be immense ; the reward of the enterprise and labour will, we trust, be in propor. lion to it. GENERA L I' 0M T 111 J NIB.

TLe following Reviews of the Work have already appeared : TimF.s, Dec. 4, 1844. As far as utility is concerned no volume can exceed the claims 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 may be considered as an index of the history of Vie 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 and squares, arranged with such clearness of order, and so corn. preheasive as to direct the whole populaticn where to find each otker, aed in what manner to carry on the intercourse by letters, messer7-rs, &c., is amongst the benefits which the progress of printing has editferri., of late years, and ought to be appreciated in avf ey mrarnuirsurate to itsmerits by the public. It affords a check to imposture, a f cility to intercourse, and a guide to useful In a word, the cost at this book can scarcaly be better laid ou. iTA its purchase. MORNING CHRONICLE, Nov. 15, 1844. _ _ . We have just received a copy of the above work, the nature and value of which must be well knewn 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 test it, it does not appear that this increase has been made by any sacrifice of accuracy. Besides all the departments which appeared in the former publications of this work, we find that in the present volume there are several new chapters. All these appear to have been prepared with great care, and furnish a valuable addition to the Directory, and this has been done—notwithstanding the greatly-increased 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 corn. petitor, and certainly, considering the evident care with which it has been prepared, and the high reputation which It so 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. 16, 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 been 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. Every village, as well as every town in England and Wales, having a post-office is duly stated, with the time of arrival and departure of the London letters. No book of reference of the kind cuuld be more complete. 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 effect 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 thould have ready access. . In the " Conveyance Directory" the matter connected with Railways is full and recent. Within our space enumeration of the various subjects eannot 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 Post Office London Directory for 1845 is by far the best and mast 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. 1, 1844. 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 " Pos‘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 soon 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 as to respectability. This is so v.ell understood in proper quarters, that on such matters the " Post Office Directory" wi❑ be found quoted in the leading articles of the Times, in Government and Portia. mentary reports, and before the police and criminal courts. Does the Limes, with ready sagacity, detect a swindling firm trying to prey on the community—the " Post Office Directory" is 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 found playing such an important part in the com mercial community, if it were not well ascertained that its con ductors display the greatest energy and accuracy in car rying out their undertaking. The return of the circulation of country banks pTefixed to the "Banking Directory" is the best which has yet appeared, and the only nigest 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." ILLUSTRATED LONDON News, NOT, 23, 1844. Twenty years have made a strange alteration in the bulk of this almost indispensable Directory. Well do we remember the mean, spare volume of other days, with its long lines of large type, and its shabby sheepskin binding; in place of which we have here a ponderous large octavo volume, of some 1,900 pages, of two and three columns each, of small type, comprising " inter alia," direc tories, " Official," " Stteet," " Commercial," " Law," " Court," " Parliamentary," "Postal," " " Conveyance," " Bank ing"--thus combining the advantages of the old " Directory" with those of the " Court Guide"—the east with the west—and com prising all the information which the merchant or trader, or any other London resident or visitor, can reasonably expect to find ; and by excellent classification and arrangement, any portion of this information may be found without difficulty. Among other addi. tions, we perceive some important and interesting statistics of Lon don—as the area In acres, population, and assessment, and a state ment from the Occupations' Abstract of the Census of 1841. The " Directory" is, in fine, as complete as untiring Industry and vi gilance can make it ; for they have uniformly kept pace with the increase of the number and extent of our metropolitan and national establishments and interests. _ .

The past month has not been prolific in events of a very stirring character. The insurrection in the Kola pore country, which proved to be of a more serious character than we supposed when last we wrote, has been put down, and the disturbed districts seem to be tolerably quiet ; but, on this subject our readers will obtain fuller and more recent accounts from our Bombay contemporaries, who are more nearly situated to the field of action. In this Presidency nothing of a very important character has occurred. The Governor- General is still at the Presidency, and rumour is silent on the subject of any intended move from the meat of Government. He appears to be quietly perfecting him. self in the business of his administration ; and such indications as have yet been manifested seem to point to a tranquil and pacific government, pregnant with good to the people of the soil. There is no talk of a war in the Punjaub, or any other immediate em ployment of our troops. Even the civil war, which many anticipated in that long-agitated country, seems to be no longer imminent. There was a deal of va pouring between the two chiefs, Heera and Golub Singh, but, as wo surmised, they were not in earnest, and nothing came of all their menaces. They have now come to a pacific understanding, and matters will speedily be settled, though, probably, only to be disturbed again. In the meanwhile, Sawun Mull, the Governor of Moul tan, one of the most able and energetic, and at the same time the most moderate and respectable, of the Seikh chiefs, has been gathered to his fathers. He was shot by a malefactor, whilst sitting on the judgment-seat, and after lingering for a few days, died of his wound. He has been succeeded by his son, Mool Raj. The intelli gence from Affghanistan is, as usual, not very clear and intelligible; but it would seem that the dangers which Dost Mahommed apprehended from the designs of the Usbegs and Tartars have blown over ' • that his successes on the Hindou Koosh have rolled back the tide of invasion, and that the intrigues of Bekharts have been defeated. From the latter place Dr. Wolff has emerged in safety, but of this, in all probability, intelligence will have been re ceived in England before the arrival of the present dispatch. Within the Presidency two domestic events have occa sioned some interest of a painful character. One of these is the suicide of the Raja of' Berhampore, who having committed, through his instruments, some acts of cruelty on the person of a dependent, which occasioned, in the sequel, the poor man's death, came down to Calcutta, where 'intelligence of the tragic issue reached him, coupled with the information that a warrant was out fur his arrest. Dreading the indignity of falling into the hands of the nip-widens of the police, the wretched man blew out his brains. He had previously made a will, leaving the bulk of his large property to be devoted to the establishment and support of an university. The coroner's jury brought in a verdict of fell de se. The other event is the murder, by Dacoits, of Captain Alcock, of the Quartermaster-General's department, who was intercepted, when on a dawk journey, by a band of notorious Dacoits, of whom the police were in pursuit, and being taken for Mr. Unwin, the magistrate, was dragged from his palanquin and cut to pieces. Several of the wretches concerned in this murderous deed have been apprehended. (From the Englishman.) The past month has abounded with native holidays, so as very much to interfere with the ordinary course of business, and as the last of these festivals will not take place till next week, our commerce has not yet recovered its usual activity. The arrival of the last mail brought better accounts than were generally expected of the de mand for our staples, and the consequence has been that the holders of the increasing indigo crop are very firm, expecting last year's prices or perhaps a shade higher. This, it must be recollected, is with the full knowledge that the crop will be little short of 150,000 maunds. The turn taken by the exchanges, which are now lower than they have been for the last seven years, greatly fa vours the maintenance of a full price. had two such crops followed each other during the depression of the past years, it is probable that this important article would have been nearly unsaleable, and that a very great re striction of cultivation would have taken place. The itn provement in every branch of manufacture, both in Eng land and upon the Continent, now gives confidence here that the consumption will keep pace with our supply; and though our planters may be deceived in this expec tation they will in general receive a remunerating sum for their past year's work, so that we look for no very considerable reduction of cultivation for the coming year. In a national point of view, the comparatively low prices which are likely to prevail for some time are rather advantageous, as taking from our rivals any ,great inducement to extend their cultivation, and at the same time producing here a wholesome economy which may yet prove that no other country can successfully compete with Bengal in this important staple. We have reason to believe that money is likely to continue abundant in our market for some time, though the ship ment of the bulkeof the indigo crop, aad some thousand chests of opium in the next three months, together with other staples, will relieve the place of a sum not far short of three millions sterling. The company's adver tisement declares for sale no less than 21,526 chests, of which 5,800 will be sold on the 6th of January. The last advices from China are far from favourable; and our market will consequently open at lower rates than was previously anticipated, but the fluctuations in this article are so great, owing to the extensive time bargains con tinually made in it by native capitalists, that it would not surprise us if last season's prices were to be very nearly maintained. The demand for British goods has latterly revived, and some descriptions are now eagerly sought for, notwith standing the immense increase of supply during the past year. There can be no doubt that a more general and ex tensive consumption is gradually taking place, and we ex pect very soon to find India at the head of the list of British ex ports. The House Government will then perhaps become aware how much it is in their power to do for the pros perity of this country, and be furnished with a sufficient motive for undertaking it. The improvement in our overland communications, which we have reason to think will be effected next year, will, we ,hope, be the first great step to a course of measures on the part of Govern ment for the improvement of the most important of the British possessions. By it they will have brought us near enough to be heard, and it will he our own faults if we do not speak. It is with extreme grief that we announce the death, by murder, of Captain Alcock, of the Quartermaster- General's department. It ;appears that he was pro ceeding to Neemuch from Cawnpore, and that in passing through the Mynpoore district he was barbarously mur dered by villains who were lying in wait to assassinate the magistrate, for whom they mistook poor Alcock. It would seem that the magistrate's activity in pursuing the Dacoits, who had wounded a Mr. Tucker last year, had rendered him the object of the vengeance which fell upon Captain Alcock. The body was brought into Myn pooree, and there interred with military honours. Hard to be reserved for a death of this kind after escaping a more glorious one while displaying his gallantry in the field:of Maharajpore, for which, by the way, he re ceived nothing, while some we could name, who were not near the scene till all was over, received their brevet promotion.

Some curiosity has been manifested to know what Sir Charles may have said on hearing of the escape. We hear an oth:T very "cur ious or d er, " as our f r i en d ca ll s i t (b ut all Sir Charles Napier's orders are curious), has just been issued regarding the facility with which medical certificates had been granted to some foiks in Sinde. From Shikarpoor we learn that the men in Khangur, who had been attacked by the local fever, were coming round with great difficulty. The number of the sick was reported at about 150. Captain M'Kenzie was absent, sick at Kurachee. Captain Salter, of the 4th Bengal Infantry, had been appointed to command all the troops nn the frontier, an arrangement which is considered judicious, and he was to assume immedinte charge. Captain L. Smith's battery was to return to Shikarpoor, to be replaced at Khangur by two of the old mountain train-guns, drawn by mules, under the command of Lieutenant Putman. The report of the expedition against Phoolljee is still abroad, but begins to be discredited in well informed quarters ; especially as Baja Khan and his plundering coadjutors now express themselves anxious to surrender. They had been remarkably quiet of late. The health of the troops at Shikarpoor itself was mend ing in a trifling- degree, the 69th and 7th Cavalry espe cially ; but the troop of Horse Artillery is pronounced hors de combat. THE MURDER OF CAPTAIN ALCOCK. (From the Delhi Gazette.) The murder of Europeans by Dacoits is, as the Friend of India observes, so unusual that it is calculated to excite " a great sensation in society." It is, indeed, a new and bold feature in their proceedings, the more surprising when we recal the decision of the Thugs on this very point. Our readers will doubtless recol lect that, among that class of robbers and murderers, the question of the policy of attacking European tra vellers was regularly discussed and debated, and de cided in the negative, on the ground that the practice would be too dangerous, on account of the great sen sation the murder of a gora would excite, while they might quietly murder a good many natives without at tracting the notice of the authorities ; and this they no doubt had gone on doing for many years without inter ruption, though their traffic in human blood and plunder is now, thanks to the activity of the Thuggee depart ment, nearly terminated, or at least very much checked. In the murder of Captain Alcock, however, mistaken for Mr. Unwin it may be observed th a t th e D aco i ts have been evidently influenced by revenge against an active magistrate. They have let their vindictiveness get the better of the usual prudence of their professional practice. But the proceeding is not the less new and daring, and if these scoundrels escape, and especially the leader of the gang, Kansuhaee, the Dacoits may be emboldened to make attacks ou Europeans regularly part of their system, the more so as it cannot be un known to them that our countrymen travel about the country very commonly altogether unarmed. The un fortunate Captain Alcock, it appears, was so travelling, except as to his sword, which an officer always carries with him. He appears to have had no fire-arms, and what could a sword do against a gang of resolute Dacoits ? If he had had fire-arms, he might have had a chance for his life, though but a slender one, and, at least, with the courage he displayed, he would have put some of the scoundrels hors de combat. We would ad vise all our countrymen not, in future, to trust to the exception which Dacoity policy has hitherto made in their favour, but to go well armed whenever they travel by dark. • Last Wednesday, shortly after the publication of our paper had closed, we received a private letter confirming the murder, by the hands of a band of robbers, of Capt. Alcock, of the 46th Bengal Infantry, on the high road between Mynpooree and Agra. We have since received several letters from that station, from its neighbour hood, and from the camp of the 11th Light Cavalry, which was at no great distance from the scene of this atrocious murder, in progress to Agra, all confirmator of the first intimation made to us, and have selected the one amongst our letters giving the clearest account of the crime ; this will be found under the head of " Myn pooree." It will be seen that the ruffians, headed by the desperate villain Ghunsiah, who has earned notoriety in the district by the daring manner in which he escaped from Mr. St. George Tucker, after wounding that gen tleman and murdering one of his attendants, were lying wait for the magistrate, himself proceeding to assist his police in apprehending the gang. Mr. tinwin escaped at the expense of Captain Alcock's life, and will, we hope, leave no stone unturned, no exertion untried, no expense unincurred; to bring the perpetrators of the foul deed to the condign punishment they have earned fer this an their previous numerous acts of violence, sealed in this instance with the blood oC an officer of the state. " MYNPOOREE, Ocr. 28.—This insignificant district has been put into a state of feverish excitement by an atrocious murder perpetrated on Saturday night last, about 20 miles from the Suddar station. Captain Alcock, of the 46th Regiment of Native Infantry (for merly of the Quartermaster-General's Derartrnent), arrived here by dawk on the 26th inst., from Cawnpore. en loute to Agra, and put up with the Colonel of tile gallant 42d, with whom he remained till about four P. M., when he started in prosecution of his journey, with eleven bearers to his train. On reaching Ghurour about eight or nine P.m., they were relieved by a fresh set, who had hardly proceeded on about half-a-mile, when within ZOO yards of a police chowkee they were stopped by twelve ruffians (four of them mounted), and ordered to put down the palkee. The bearers (like natives in general) took to their heels, and left the poor captain to defend himself as best he could. He immediately stepped out, sword in hand, and questioned the gang as to who they were, and what they required ; without, however, answering him, they commenced an attack upon the poor defenceless man. Whilst defending himself against such fearful odds, all armed to the teeth, he received a wound on the wrist of the sword hand, which totally disabled him, and forced him to seek safety by retreat. He had hardly got away three hundred yards from the scene of action, when one of the ruffians fired at and brought him to the ground, when they came up, and inflicted several deep wounds (I believe eleven), from the effects of which, two in particular on the forehead and the back of the neck (nearly severing the windpipe), he must have in stantly expired. His remains were brought in on a charpae yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, and i❑- terred with military honours this morning. This mur der is supposed to have been committed by that notorious prisoner (still at large) who broke gaol at Muttra, after murdering the guard in charge, some time back (Ghtm siah), for whose apprehension a reward has been pro claimed by Government, and who not many mouths since murdered the Thanader of Kooraoolee, and wounded the assistant magistrate, who had gone to apprehend him upon information brought by an approver. You may guess what a reckless and daring villain the fellow must be when I tell you, that a night previous to the murder of Captain Alcock he had been attacked by the Thanadar and a small portion of the police in the Shekoabad Pergunnah, where, after having had two of his followers killed, and several wounded with him self, he made off in the darkness of the evening amongst steep and dense ravines, in which a part of the Shekoabad Pergunnah abounds. The police did their duty, though circumstances beyond their control led to the Dacoits having eluded capture. The case was immediately reported to the magistrate, and (energetic as he has always shown himself) he forthwith made the neccessary arrangements and left the station to encourage pursuit by his own immediate presence. It appears, that the ruffiian and his gang got timely in timation of the magistrate's movements, and they awaited his arrival at the very spot where poor Captain Alcock encountered them, but mistaking their victim they mur dered him, as the magistrate, who providentially, by ar riving half an hour later than the captain, averted the awfut fate which awaited him. Does all this not show a most dreadful and lamentable state of things? Unless, indeed, a more liberal reward than has already been offered by Government is held out, I fear some further serious depredations and less of valuable lives will be the consequence of injudicious parsimony. The magistrate is still out in hot pursuit of the offender, and it is earnestly hoped he may be successful in capturing the ♦iliian. All at the station just now are on the gut nice, and dawk travellers are already getting scared. SUICIDE OF A NATIVE PRINCE. (From the Bengal Hurkarn, Nov. 2.) Raja Kishennath Roy, of Berhampore, shot himself on last Thursday. The man whom he was accused of having caused to be cruelly tortured has died from the injury he had received, and the young Raja, under ap prehension of the consequences to himself, was driven to the dreadful act of self-murder. He was living at his mother's house in Chitpore.road, where, on the day in question, he invited Mr. Strettell and Mr. Herklots, and asked them to witness the execution of a folded document, which he himself signed, and told them it was his last will and testament. Very s hortly after these gen tleman had left him he locked himself within a room, and, loading one barrel of a double-barrelled percussion gun, bent his head over the muzzle and drew the lock with his foot. Instantly he fell dead to the ground. The discovery of the i fact was made by th e report at tracting some of the inmates of the house to the room. Not long after the occurrence, the deputy superinten dent of po li ce proceeded to the house, and found the body of the unfortunate young man on the floor in a sitting posture, with the back leaning against the wall, and the fatal gun resting over one shoulder. The osfronts was completely blown away, and fragments of the brain were observed on different parts of the wall and ceiling, and a flattened ball lay near the foot of the corpse. 'the features were not much distorted, beyond the nose, whi c h appeare d muc h di sten d e d. T he wil l left behind is said to be a very lengthy one, but regularly drawn up. In it several handsome legacies are men toned, while a very munificent portion of the estate has . been willed away towards the beneficent object of found ing a college, or, as the will expresses it, a " university," at Berhampore, with an hospital attached. The young Raja has, likewise, bequeathed a handsome legacy to one of his favourite domestic servants ; and likewise the interest of a sufficient sum to be given for the sub- 7 --- /,' ‘,/ X, ,- - , - . , ~ - - 7 0 ;--,..........„:,. „,// ,fl e(z.z__zz„ /---a;----/,--- 7„, _,K_ ~.. • .. . ..,. ,:.4., ,41, .... i 4 ,•, ~,.: --,4 Illhilk - I sistenee of the widow and orphans of the man who wss 1 - ___ c. ,ni • ,;::Ag. 4 4 41 ' e - ,1 , : 7 1V A k ''liill• __ _ , -IR i I. t) i' , ( - tA , 4/ .-' Z.Z ; 41 t 1 /* ' • ."'" , i ill b • , \t ---, : 4 . 1 i i tortured.

Since the date of our last issue business has been very considerably impeded by the intervention of numerous native holidays, the Government Treasury and other public offices having only been open for the transaction of business 14 days out of the 31 ; but taking this into consideration, our market fur the principal staples of country produce has manifested a fair amount of acti- Ivity, and, with the exception of one or two articles cf minor importance, prices generally exhibit a decided improvement, caused, in a great measure, by the favour able accounts we condone to receive from England. the great abundance of money both at home and here, and the consequent low ruling of exchange, inducir , parties in the habit of remitting in bills to prefer the risk of doing so in produce. The first portion of the overland mail, with London dates to the 7th September, reached this on the morning of the 21st ultimo, and the bulk of the letters came to hand in the course of the two sue t ceeding days. Th. (.; overn went express last year did not arrive till the 24th of this month ; but we hope to receive our letters either by that conveyance or by the Ifindostan steamo- (now dai!v expected) in time to en able us to reply to the:o the latest dispatch from this, which is advertised to: tile 23,1 instant, as the letters looked for will most pr.W44sly bring out extensive orders for our leading staple et' this season, viz., indigo. INDIGO.—Ai, the date id our last issue we considered 1,45,000 maunds, to be rigs utmost extent of this season's outturn, recording to the information we had received of what had been made, and the expectations of the plan tens in the north-weitero provinces. It may he remarked that for the last ten year, the estimates sent home in October have generally been at least It) per cent. under hat the actual figure of the crop has afterwards been asertained to be, nut we have not the slightest hesita tion in saying that ooh will not prove the case this year, as front letters received a I'm days after the departure of the last mail we find that in the districts of Ghazee pore, &nitres, J oanpore, and Goruekpore, their prospects were very considerably reduced by a continuation of rain for 35 days, and some factories will not turn out more than two-thirds •or three-fourths of the quantity calcu lated on ; the exact amount of the crop will, however, soon be known, when till the invoices have been received. The few parcels we have been enabled to examine confirm the opinion we expressed in our last respecting the superiority of this season's indigo, especially in some of the fine inarks, We have had an opportunity of see ing the only parcel of Tirhoot indigo which has as yet arrived in Calcutta, and we consider that also to be bet ter than last year. The indigo will now be coining in fast, and after the holydays we think the marts will have a sufficient supply to hold a weekly sale until the receipt of accounts of the result of the October sale, when the market will be re gularly open, and prices regulated by the orders and limits received by that opportunity. The present rate of exchange being about 6 per cent. lower than in December last, will necessarily influence the ruling of prices, but we are of opinion that they will open about the same as last year. The next mail will doubtless bring out extensive orders from Europe and America, but it is said that the Moguls will act with great caution, as the greater part of their last year's shipments are still unsold, A public sale of about 500 chests is advertised to take place on the 2Sth instant, when the fine mark, H. and Co., Jessore, will be put up. Not more than 4,500 maunds of last year's crop remain in the market, and the only large parcel of this season's which has as yet been shipped is 380 chests of the J. and H. W., to Great Britain. The total exports from the Ist to the 15th of November aro only 427 chests, or 1,455 factory maunds, to that part. A parcel of about 1,200 =unfits has been sold by private contract to arrive, at about last year's prices, at the open ing of the market. SUGAlL—Ovving to the scarcity of supply of suitable descriptions for the home market, transactions in this staple have nut been on so extensive a scale as might have been expected ; however, any first, or even good second quality, Benares, which has offered, has readily been taken at an advance, for really fine qualities, of nearly eight annas a maund, whilst second sorts only evinced an improvement of four annas, in consequence of the late accounts from England being particularly favourable for the former description. Exports from the Ist to the 15th inst. inclusive, amount to 38,120 maunds. SALTPETRE.—We last month noticed an improvement in the demand for this article for both Great Britain and North America, although without enhancing the price ; since then our market has been in a most active state, and exhibits an advance on all descriptions o; about four annas a maund. Shipments to Great Britain go forward on about the usual scale, but to America they continue to increase. Exports from Ist inst. up to data are to the former 25,254 maunds, and to the latter 10,000 maunds. Rum.—This article seldom changes hands here, being generally sent forward on manufacturers' account, and our quotations may therefore be considered nominal. Exports from Ist instant up to date amount to 48,888 gallons. RAW SILK.—The native holeers of this :t Tie having left Calcutta for the interior, in conseqeoiace of thy: Doergah Poo - leis holidays, which are fullueed by severs 1 others (as before noticed), they have seat cely, even !as yet, returned and settled to business Fine Oescriptiotas of Cossimbazar and Jung) pure are much inquired far, but scarce, and one or two small parcels have changed hands at about former rates. In Radnasore and Ilu.rri peel sorts some transactions have taken place, but the principal holders of those kinds are disposed to wait the arrival of the next mail, which they seem to expect will bring more favourable accounts of the home market; but, whether this be the ease or not, we think they wilt then he obliged to realise. Exports to Great Britain trout the Ist inst. up to date amount to only 427 maunds. SILK neer.: Goons.—All descriptions of fabrics under this head have continued in extensive inquiry, and really first rate goods have brought a very high figure. Com mon native descriptions have also sold extensively, at a slight advance. We may here remark, that, although our; market continues fairly supplied, the quality has alretuay decidedly deteriorated, and will, most probably, do so to a greater extent, as is usually the case when the raw material maintains its price. Exports from the Ist ult. up to date have been—to: Great Britain, 16,339 pieces torahs, and 1,778 pieces choppas and bandannas. Orrum.—The price of this drug has for some time past continued gradually to decline, and our quotations are now as low as 1,380 Company's rupees per chest for Patna, and 1,285 for Benares. The Waterwitch, how ever, having just cleared out with no less than 988 chests, leaving in the Company's godowne only 390 chests against 1,220 at the same period last year, has caused; holders to show more firmness; and it is probable diva prices hare now seen their lowest, at all events until She, next Government sale. CorroN.—We have not heard of a single tranaietion in this article throughout the month, nor is there at pre sent any vessel loading with it for China. decline of upwards of ss. having taken pisee in freights, the demand noticed in our last has continued,, and as high as 2-3 Company's rupees per maund has hem paid for the best description of table rice. Broken has also been much inquired for, and there not being rc i tich offering, shippers have been obliged to pay from. 1-5 to 1-7 Company's rup.es per maund. Moonghy and 13a11um have sold extensively for Bourbon, China, and the Straits, but for the Mauritius there hag not been a. great deal doing. Exports from the Ist inst. up to date are as follows, via.:—To Greatyritair., 34,257 maunds; to the Mauritius, 30,000. Sum. LAC AND LAC DYE.---Both these articles have been in considerable demand during the past month for Great Britain and America, and transactions would, we think, have been on a more extensive scale had suitable qualities been procurable. Two or three sales of fine shel lac, of European manufacture, have been effected at 14 and 14-8 Company's rupees per inaund ; also of some low native manufacture, :about 8 to 10. In lac dye we have aot heard of any transactions in European marks, but considerable sales are reported of native, of middling quality, at front 15 to 20. Exports from the Ist instant up to date have been as follows, viz.:—To Great Britain, 590 matuttls shel lac, 429 maunds lac dye ; to North AinA-rica, 193 maunds shel lac, 404 k maunds lac dye. COLOURED YARN. —All descriptions have been in fail demand, and sales to some extent arc reported at abosit last month's rates. COPPER.—We have no alteration to notice in this metal.

MINERAL WEALTII OF ALGIERS.--A traveller to Algiers makes an important report of the mineralogical wealth of the sea-coast lands in the province of Oran. On the slope of one of the moantains which form the southern barrier of this portion of the shore, he has seen, he says, magnificent masses of alabaster, of a whiteness and beauty excelling those of the Tuscan ala baster of Boltera. Not far distant are rich mines of mineral salt. On the side of Orleanville and Tenez are deposits of lenticular iron and sulphuretted copper— while long veins of carbonate of iron and of lead shoAs themselves in the fissures of the rocks, and appear even above the soil.

TURN-OUT OF COAL Alt;csats.—On Friday last, the coal miners in the employment of Mr. William Wrigley, of Lowe Side, and Mr. Jesse Ainsworth, of Pit Bank, who have lately been on tho strike, resumed work, the masters having, it is stated, agreed to their demands. The turn-outs have, therefore, now resumed work at seven of the collieries ; but the miners employed by the two principal firms, Messrs. Lees, Jones, and Co., and Messrs. Barker, Evans, and Co., and a few smaller con cerns, are still on the strike, without any immediate prospect of a settlement of the dispute.

Our Sinde news down to the 26th ult. informs us that Colonel Moseley's court. martial was expected to com mence about the beginning of this month, and we are told that Captain Flyter is placed in arrest, and is to be tried also ; and it is also reported that Sir C. Napier in tends bringing both the commandants of her Majesty's 13th and 78th Regiments to trial on account of the escape of nine of the condemned men from the custody of the former corps, and one (the last tried) from that of the latter. _ _ Letters from Sinde still speak of the fearful sickness raging there. The 7th Cavalry are stated to have but 15 men fit for duty, the troop of Horse Artillery but eight or nine, and the 69th Regiment about 200 ; how ever, as the bad season is now over, it is to be hoped the Europeans, as well as natives, will rapidly improve in health. _ _ _ (From the Bengal Ilurharu.) The officers who aro to sit on the General Ceurt martial for the trial of Colonel Moseley have been named by Sir Charles Napier. They are—Major-General Simpson, her Majesty's 29th Foot, second in command in Sinde, President ; Lieutenant-Colonel Douglas, Bri gadier Commanding at Kurachee, her Majesty's 78th Foot ; Lieutenant-Colonel Schuler, Bombay Artillery ; Lieutenant-Colonel Aplin, her Majesty's 86th Foot ; Lieut.-Colonel Reid, 12th Bombay Infantry ; Lieut.-Col. Woodburn, 25th Bombay Infantry ; Major Creagh, her Majesty's 86th Foot ; Major Twopeny, her Majesty's 78th Foot • Major Corsellis, 13th Bombay Infantry ; Major Phillips, 7th Bengal Light Cavalry ; Major Macan, 17th Bombay Infantry; Major Vassal, her Majesty's 78th Foot ; Major Wilton, 4th Bengal In fantry ; Major Kennett, 13th Bombay Infantry ; Major Lowth, her Majesty's 86th Foot • Major Richards, Bth Bombay Infantry ; and Major Sidley, htl• Majesty's 86th Foot ; members-16 field-officers, with a general officer as President ; 17 in all, Captain Lamert, of her Ma jesty's 78th Highlanders, is to officiate as Judge-Advo cate-General. A steamer was to be in readiness at Kotree oa the 28th, fur the accommodation of all the members from Kurachee and Hyderabad. From this we infer that the court cannot very well assemble before the 12th or 15th proximo. It is possible we may be furnished with an outline, or perhaps, a copy of the charges brought against Colonel Moseley for our next issue. We hear that they bear chiefly on the alleged concealments regard;ng the state of his corps. Not one of the convict-mutineers of the 64th who escaped from the quarter-guard of her Majesty's 13th Light Infantry, MORNING liseALD, Nov. 19, 1644. The edition for 1845 of this very useful work has just been issued. The usefulness of the volume, as well as the immense labour 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, is 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 paps ; the " Law Directory'' of some 70 pages; the " Court Directory" of nearly lOU 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 Direc tory" of some 40 pages. The typographica Icharacter of the volume is as commendable as the fulness and faithfulness o ]the work itself. MoeNINO ADVERTISER, Nov. 15, 1844. This work, which has now stood the teat of public opinion for ❑early 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 arid the result has been the production of the work ,t this early period. Notwithstanding the rapidity with which it has passed through the press, its general accuracy has been carefully prt-served. It is rea:ly wonderful how so vast a masa of metar can be compiled so accurately and so well. We have looked .-.rough the pages of the " Directory" with the view of testing correctness, and we are bound to say, that in no one in stance c a find ever the slightest ground to impugn its con summate iitity. _ Sox, Nov. 14, 1844. This work has now reached its forty-sixth annual publication, and latterly it has been brought out on such a eonaprehensive, eor. rest, 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 respecting 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, letter-press. This Directory is, perhaps, the most complete manual of the kind ever published. .ITERKLY DISPATCH, Nov. 17, 1844. The" Post Office London Directory," which is published by the Messrs. Kelly, of Old Boswell-court, is now before us. This edi tion for 1845, contains a vast inorease 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 divi sion of the work affbrds 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 moat 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 to 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 of 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 or can produce. There is uo item of information which cars 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. 16, 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 con. plete exhibition of a great city that perhaps ever was made; iu its three grand phases of " Street Directory,'' where you are ignorant of the name but know it when you see it—" Commercial," " Law," 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 gives at a reference to an Indi vidual whose name is present. " Court," " Parliamentary," " Banking," " Conveyance," " Assurance," " Postal," and other 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. Joust Butt, Nov. 93, 1844. This " monster volume" is really a curiosity in its way. When we turn over its two thou.and closely-printed pages, and reflect upon the enormous mass of information which these pages contain —lnformation prepared with a degree of accuracy which Is quite marvellous, together with its complete and comprehensive character (for nothing is omitted which any person can possibly wish to rind), we do say that this " Post Office Directory" Is a most extraor. dinary undertaking. As 3 proof of the vigilance which has been exercised in bringing down the matter to the latest possible period, Lord Western's name wi l not he found in the " Parliamentary Directors." Similar instances of attention might be adduced. As tests e have ',art , : to several names of persons among our own acqu - . nr..n. wins have r' cent 4 changed their residence, and in no one CAE:: ilve we found the change overlooked. This is ocnclusive proof II tt ^ general care that is bestowed to render the work ac curate as las voluminous; for it is fair to conclude that any one applying test within his own range, would rind the same vigi lance. In every point of view it is a work of vast utility, and in , dispensable to all persons who have any business to transact in .:~.~ - v ,--- ' .
