The following Reviews of the Work have already appeared: Times, 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. contains several useful additions to its humediate 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 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 and squares, arranged with such clearness of order, and so com prehensive as to direct the whole population where to find each other, ar'd 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 Lenity 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. MORNING CIIRONICLE, 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 test it, it does not appear that this increase has been made by any sacrifice of accuracy. Besides 1 all this the departments which a p peared in the former publications of wor, w find that in the present volume there are several new chapters. All these appear to have been prepared with great care, and dftiarateishnaotvwailtuhaabtalendaidndgition to the Di rec t ory, an d t hi s h as b een the g r eatly.inereased sire 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 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 rnoet valuable of the annual class, has made its appearance at au 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 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, ia 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.otfice 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 pays ; 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 tory" of some 40 pages. The typographica 'character of the ♦olume Is as commendable u the fulness and faithfulness 's Ithe work itself. MORNING/ ADVERTISER, 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 ►oid 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 through the pages of the " Directory" with the view of testing its correctness, and we are bound to say, that in no one in. stance could we find even the slightest ground to impugn its con fers:state fidelity. Sex, Nov. 14, 1544. This work bas now reached its forty-sixth annual publication, and latterly It has been brought out on such a comprehensive, cor. 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 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. WEEKLY DIM:VOL, 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 inorea;e of useful matter when corn. pared with former ones. One important department now aided, 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. lion of the work atlbrds 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 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 s living million, a vast storeheuse 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 so 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. 16, 1644. 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. plete exhibition of a great city that perhaps ever was made; in its " Street Directory,' where you are i gnorant three grand phases of of the name but know it when you see it—" Commercial," " L aw, " 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. JOliN Butt, Nev. 23, 1844. This " monster ♦olume" is really a curiosity in its way. When we turn over its two thousand closely.printed pages, and reflect upon the enormous mass of information which those pages contain —information 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 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 have turned to several names of persons among our own acquaintance who have recently changed their residence, and i■ ne 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 sante 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 this mighty centre of business. It supersedes all ether guidoe and Directories. GLOBS, Nov. 16, 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 propor. tion to it. HEREPATR'S RAILWAY AND COMMERCIAL 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 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 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 Post 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 Slap 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 Realm', 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 " 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 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 well 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. mo ntary reports, and before the police and criminal courts. firm m es thetry Times,ing te p withreyen h ready sagacity, re community—the ecta p swindling es t oaks 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 cam. 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 prefixed to the "Banking Directory" is the best 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 IR 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 •f 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, •f two and three columns each, of small type, comprising " inter alia," direc tories, " Of f icial," " Sliest," " Commercial," " Law," " Court," " Parliamentary," "Postal," "City," " Conveyance," " Bank ing"—thus combining the advantages of the old " Directory " with those of the " Court Guide"—the east witk 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 IE4I. The " Directory" is, in fine, as complete as untiring industry and ♦i. 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.

Dear Sir,—l consider it a duty Incumbent on me to state to the public the invaluable properties of your Scorbutic Drops. You remember, when I first applied to you, that I was almost out of hopes of receiving any benefit for my poor suffering child, for I believe I informed you that I had been trying but every thing in order to give my child ease, but day by day she continued to get worse, until at last all strength left her, and she was no longer able to walk ; her body and head were covered all over with scorbutic eruptions, her appetite had vanished, the erup tions would itch in such a dreadful manner that she would roll herself in agonies on the ground, and she could get no sleep what ever by night. Immediately you saw her, you told me you were Certain your Scorbutic Drops would cure her. Before she had taken one bottle of them all the itching ceased, her appetite returned, mid she enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep. By the time she had taken the second bottle her skin was as fair as any person's, the use of her limbs was restored to her, and, I thank God, her health is now as good or better than it ever was.

WARSAW, JAN. 6.—There is no foundation what ever for the announcement that it is intended to build a new fortress at Kalirch. The Russian Govern ment has never thought of such a work ; nor, after the completion of the works at Warsaw, Demblin, and Medlin, can it be necessary for the defence of the country. Napoleon, and with him the most eminent tacticians, judged the three above-mentioned points to be fully sufficient for the protection of Poland against invasions from the West. The accounts given in other papers of troubles hav ing taken place are equally groundless. Poland was never more tranquil than it is now, and it is the in terest of all Poles to resist to the utmost all excite ments to further disturbances, if the time shall at length come when the wounds which have been in flicted on the kingdom shall be healed. This time may, perhaps, not be distant, if the Propaganda of Paris and London does not revive its impracticable schemes, which have already been so fatal to Poland. HANOVER, JAN. 12.—The Bishop of Heldershein has published a new edition of the Catechism of Father Canisrus, and recommended it to the clergy. It is an old book of ultramonfane-tendency, full of hetero dox diictrines, on which account the use of it wag abolished. The majority of the Roman Catholics of Heldershein have decidedly declared against the direc tion which Dr. Bandt seems inclined to give to his diocese, and several teachers have refused to intro duce this catechism into their schools ; on this occa sion many a Roman Catholic manifests the laudable desire not to be oppressed by the yoke of Rome, b u t to follow the efforts of their brethren for free, pure Christianity.

A public meeting was held on Thursday, in the banquetting-room of the Guildhall, to petition Par liament for a repeal of the window-tax. The at tendance was very numerous. The platform was crowded by several of the town council and other gentlemen. Lord Duncan and Mr. Roebuck, the re presentatives of the city, were enthusiastically cheered upon making their appearance. Oa the motion of W. HUNT, Esq., the Mayor was called upon to preside. The MAYOR introduced the business of the meeting. W. HUNT, Esq., moved the first resolution, which condemned the window-tax as unjust in principle, unequal in its pressure, and in its operation injurious to the moral and sanitary condition of the commu nity, particularly the poorer classes, and maintained that it ought, therefore, to be abolished. The repeal of the window-tax was seen to be practi cable. It was a tax pressing heavily on the poor. It was a true principle of taxation, that all people should pay taxes in accordance with the extensiveness of their property. He who pos sessed no property ought not to pay taxes for the pro tection of property.—(Cheers.) Some taxes they were able to remove. If a man had horses and dogs, and did not choose to pay the tax, he could dispose of them and the tax together. If he wished to free him self from the malt-tax he had only to abstain from drinking beer. Or if he desired to evade the sugar duty he could abstain from the use of it. But let a man be ever so much ground down by any calamity, or his family huddled together in a garret, this tax pursued him, nor could he free himself from it until he took refuge in a union workhouse. He would not enter into the sanitary part of the question, but called upon them to petition with all their hearts, for the sake of justice and sound policy.—(Great cheering.) Mr. T. FULLER seconded the resolution, which was unanimously carried. J. EDRIDGE , Esq., moved the second resolution, proposing the adoption of a petition to the House of Commons, embodying the first resolution, and request ing the Members of the city to present and support Mr. G. EDWARDS having seconded the motion, the resolution and petition were passed unanimously, amidst much cheering. Lord Dusicasi was received with enthusiastic cheers, which having subsided, he said, before he en tered upon the question fosr which the meeting was called, he would touch loon what had been done in the House of Commons Alice he was last before them. Great changes bad taken place in that time. In 1842 he attended a meeting in that room to petition against some of the clauses in Sir James Graham's Education Bill. The opposition to that Bill was by the Dissenters. Their opposition had triumphed.— (Cheers.) He honoured them because of that tri umphant opposition ; and he honoured the Minister for giving way on that occasion to public opinion.— (Continued cheers.) They had a Minister who was ushered into office by the shouts of the ultra-Orange party in Ireland; and yet that Minister had had the courage, in the recent benefices commission, to place the Roman C a th o li c c l erg y o f Ireland in a juxta-position with their high-church fellow subjects.—(Loud cheers.) They had triumphed then ; but this was not the only triumph of public opinion. He saw the same Tory Minister, in spite of the threats of his friends, sweeping away commercial restrictions.—(Cheers.) The timber duties had been considerably lowered ; and he believed the odious corn-laws of England would soon be removed.— (Cheers.) When the Minister first came into power he (Lord Duncan) should as soon have thought of his bringing forward such liberal measures with respect to trade and civil and religious liberty, as he should of heretical opinions being first broached in Conservative Oxford. When he (Lord Duncan) first came amongst them he was a free trader, and he was a free trader now.—(Cheers.) The Finance Minister had at the present time a surplus. How had this surplus been derived? Let them look at the returns, and they would find that it was principally owing to the removal of commercial restrictions.—(Cheers.) The surplus in the hands of the Minister was 400,0001. on the quarter, and 1,300,0001. on the year, exclusive of the reduction on the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. Thus a surplus of three millions was expected to be at the disposal of the Government; and he came there that day to ask them as their representative if they did not think there were some taxes pressing extremely hard upon this particular community—to know their opinions as to the window-tax, and if they did desire the repeal of such an obnoxious impost, which, amounting to 1,600,0001., was, under present circum stances, so practicable.—(Cheers.) In Bath 22,0001. per annum was extracted from their pockets by this tax, which ought to be left to be spent in the city— (Cheers)—making, in fact, a difference of 44,0001. a year to the people of Bath. When he read these returns, the was led to consider how this tax origi nated. With considerable trouble he had ferreted it out. It was first passed in 1762, when Sir Francis Dashwood was Chancellor of the Exchequer; and in a work recently published an anecdote is recorded, in which it is stated that he was afraid to go through the streets, because the children cried out after him as he passed—" There goes the worst Chancellor of the Exchequer England ever had !"—(Laughter.) But the act was not so much that of Sir F. Dashwood as of another person. It was the invention of a more clever man. He (Sir Francis) was but the tool of George Grenville, whose love of taxation imposed the stamp-tax, by which they lost America.—(Cheers.) That was the man to whom they were really indebted for this obnoxious tax.--(Hear, hear.) This was a breeches-pocket question ; and, as such, was well understood by those who paid it directly— the upper and middle classes ; but was not so well understood by those who paid it indirectly. But he would now proceed to show them a little more. In 1792 they were blessed with a war—(Laughter)---- and Mr. Pitt clapped on ten per cent. This was a small amount, a mere fraction, for, in 1796, he trebled the assessed taxes. His esteemed friend, the Rev. W. Jay, had told him that he recollected walking about the streets of Bath at the time, and seeing people boarding up their windows, with the following on the -- outside in chalk :" Lighten our darkness, we be seech thee, 0 Pitt t"—(Cheers and laughter.) His Lordship continued to go through the history of this tax down to the present time. On the sinews of her workmen depended the commercial prosperity of England ; and yet those laws on light and air were proved to be in every way working a deterioration in that valuable class of society.—(Cheers.) He had never made a pledge he had not kept, or a promise that he had broken ; and he would now pledge him self to bring forward the subject of the window-tax in the House of Commons ; and whenever anything touching the interests of the working classes was in troduced in that House he would be found ready to stand up and defend them.—(Cheers.) He was called one of the aristocracy, but he never forget that the working classes were the means of placing his family in the high position they held, and he was therefore determined that what little ability he pos sessed should be faithfully used in their service. He would not stand patiently by and see them wronged. —(The Noble Lord sat down amidst long-continued cheers.) Mr. ROEBUCK then rose, and was received with enthusiastic applause. His noble colleague had said that he had never yet given a pledge which he had ever broken. He (Mr. Roebuck) could proudly say the same.—(Cheers.) He had .a charge from them on this subject, and as his Noble Friend had expressed his intention of introducing it in the House of Com mons, he should be happy to follow in his wake when ever the matter was brought forward. Justice, from time out of mind, clearly proved, demanded that this tax should be repealed.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord had said this was a breeches-pocket question. But he would go higher—it was a moral question. The question was not that this or that class would have to pay a little more or a little less by its repeal ; but it was a tax weighing most heavily on the lower classes, and did mischief to the health and morals of the people. If that were so, what was there to prevent its repeal ? The Finance Minister had at present a large surplus ; and there was a general scramble as to what particular tax should be repealed. Who were the parties always listened to in these matters ? Was it the poor ? No. His colleague had told them it was the agricultural tenants. Why ? Because the agri cultural landlord would be benefited. Those who paid less in taxes would be able to pay more in rent. —(Cheers.) It was with them, down with every thing, up with rent.—(Continued cheers.) The book the Noble Lord had quoted from was an instructive document at the present time, when such a feeling of sympathy was pretended among the higher classes for the poor. They had meetings of these people for raising subscriptions for their relief. Meetings for wash• houses and f' washing-tubs.—(Laughter.) But had they meetings to put the people, not in possession of alms, but in a position in which they could maintain their own independence'. He desired not that they should give the people alms, but that they should be allowed the free exercise of those abilities which the God of nature had given them. They could then use them in the best vaay for their own subsistence, and owe no obligation to a second party.—(Cheers.) He wished not to give them charity, but power.— (Cheers.) If they possessed their just power, they would not desire elemosynary aid. He would raise the moral condition of his fellow m en . N ot hi ng so effectually promoted this as the health and comfort of the people. The people could not be healthy without cleanliness, and cleanliness depended on nothing so much as the free circulation of air and light. Dependent on cleanliness were morals.— (Cheers.) If the people lived in hovels they could not be a moral people, and that was a pernicious sys tem which needed from the morals of the people the support of the Government. He could really and truly assert that the feeling of party was not now the pre dominant feeling amongst the leading men in the political world. They had broken down party.— (Cheers.) And every future Minister would not consider so much the majority of the House of Com mons as the strong public opinion existing out of doors. This was the result of their having a Tory Govern ment. Not that it was the wish of the Tories, or their work, but of the strong opposition that had been raised against them.—(Cheers.) They had forced those who rode into power upon all the old Tory and Orange cries to adopt those liberal measures they for merly opposed.—(Cheers.) This would go on. The greatest opponents of the Minister were not those of the Opposition, but those who sat close at his back, and, as Cobbett observed, were thrusting their knees into his shoulders.—(Cheers.) His colleague had spoken of the Canada Corn Bill. Did they think the Minister had acted upon the wish of the Tory majority ? No such thing. It was the public opi nion of the people, aided by the strong opposition of the minority in the House of Commons, that influenced the Minister.—(Cheers.) The landed aristocracy would be glad to repeal this law, but public opinion will be too strong for them, and the next thing that would follow would be the repeal of the corn-laws. Such would be the importation of corn from America, that the landlords will be first in the cry for the total repeal of the corn-laws.— (Cheers.) Now, he would show them another thing. Corn was the first great element of subsistence. Next to corn came sugar. Now what had the Minister done here ? Mr. Gladstone had brought into the House of Commons his Sugar Bill ; not to do di rectly what they had demanded—he could not think of such a thing—interests were at stake. But in that Bill he had introduced some circumbendibus clauses which effected just the same purpose.—(Cheers.) The Queen, by an order of council, had directed sugar to be imported from America and other places; and, before twelve months, they should have free trade in sugar. How had this been accomplished ? Had it been done by the Tory majority ? No ; this also had been effected by the public opinion abroad, and the powerful opposition within doors. He bad told them of these things before, and now they saw his prophecy come true.—(Cheers.) They should go on, step by step, with these reforms.—(Cheers.) They had liberal measures because the people understood their own interests. What had been done was the result of public opinion,'and much more would be done from the same cause.—(Cheers.) But gentlemen were wise in their generation ; they were trying to gain the sympathies of the working classes. But his ques tion to them always was—will you give the working classes power ?—(Cheers.) " Oh, no," said they, " we will give them wash-houses and a game of cricket, and so on—(Laughter)—we wish to unite all classes, but don't say a word about power."— (Cheers.) They had seen how essential the repeal of the window-tax was to the welfare of the poor. Now, if they asked those gentlemen to repeal that law, did they think, with all their sympathy, they would do it ? No; their desire w as t o ma k e th e peop l e dependent. 'l'hey had given himself and his col league a charge as to this law, and they would impress on the Minister what was the people's feeling on the subject. He liked that word ; the people's feeling.—(Cheers.) Yes, he would impress it upon the Minister.—(Cheers.) It was the interest of the whole that this iniquitous tax should be re pealed. He really did not think that if this question were fairly stated in the House of Commons, the Members could for very shame refuse to repeal this oppressive tax. He had spoken in obedience to a strong feeling of the injustice of this tax, and he hoped there was nothing in his past conduct which could lead any of his constituents to think he had broken any pledge, or that any opinion he had given, which was essential to their interest, had received aught of change. If his opinions changed he should feel it his duty to come and deliver back to them the charge he had received from them thinking he held such and such particular opinions. If they then gave him back that charge he would accept it, but it would be with their knowledge of the opinions he entertained. This was the duty of every honest man—(Cheers)—and he dared any man to show a change in his opinions, expressions, and conduct. What he had pledged he had performed. He had not changed. He wanted the same reforms now as when they first carried him in triumph to the hustings.— (Cheers.) He held the same opinions now ; he en tertained them with additional experience, and, he hoped, not diminished influence.—(Great cheering.) It would be strange, however, if a man who had been twelve years in public life should not see reasons to modify any opinions. Were they to shut up their minds from that light which was more essential than the solar light—the light of wisdom ? Were they to bind their minds down to remain always in the same state ? Certainly not. He should be always ready to change his opinions when his judgment was convinced of his former error.—(Cheers, and a Voice, " How about the rate-paying clause on Mr. Duncombe's motion ?") I'lr. Roebuck asked the person to state clearly what he meant, after which, he continued. Had he not always voted against the rate-paying clause ? He had voted twenty times against it—(Cheers)—and he dared any man to say he had ever voted in its favour. Let Mr. Duncombe bring forward his motion on the 4th or sth of Febru ary, or any other time, and he would be found to vote for it. (The Voice—" lam satisfied.") He (Mr. Roebuck) was glad the party was satisfied. A great deal of misrepresentation had been going on. It was not possible for him to be always look ing after his reputation, and answering every calumny. Public men, it was said, lived in glass houses. He had lived in a glass house, and it was his pride and glory that his acts should be scanned.—(Cheers.) They would recollect how he was sifted in 1832. And there were many since that time who, not having power to injure him by the truth, employed calumny and backbiting to effect their purpose. How often had his friends said to him, " Why, Sir, they are saying everywhere that you are changed—that you have turned a Tory." Did they suppose the Tories thought so ? He would appeal to his noble colleague whether he was thought a Tory in the House of Commons ?—(Cheers.) No. It was calumny that was afraid to mine and charge him to his face, but went behind his back to injure him. He dared any man to point out to him then the change. Was there any one who wished to ask him a question, let them do so then ; let them put it in writing, and send it him a week or a month hence, and they should have his answer.—(Loud cheers.) He was bound to say this now. He came to ask them this question. lie could not always be with them. Parliament would soon meet, and he should have to do their work there.—(Cheers.) He therefore asked any man to point out one act of his which ran counter to his pledge. He would then give a reply; but he should not always, he repeated, be noticing these attacks. He made this statement once for all ; and let him be understood, until some definite charge was brought against him, all back biting, all calumny, would in future be obliged to hide itself from the light of day; and he thus con cluded, not inaptly, he thought, a discussion for ofr. let ting light into the dwellings of the d Roebuck sat down amidst repeated an cheering.) thanks 0 the Mayor, p e o n o thu — siastic Lord - DUNCAN moved a vote of than c f ar or rie t d h after which the meeting gave which was seconded by Mr. R e ott.euecac,h and d s gallant chief magistrate. • p fo llowing o on TB.—Mr. James Waterhouse MUNIFICENT BEOUB S the s th th , in h s o t. di w edhas b a y t h h i i s s housewill b e i ci n u e t a h t e h l e t d e g the e t s - sums (in the Three per Cent.

SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 20.—The Oriental Company's steam-ship, the Great' Liverpool, Captain Macleod, left the Docks at nine, a.m., this day, for Alexandria, and proceeded down the river about three miles, and there awaited the arrival of .her passengers, above eighty in number, as also the East India and China mails. The East India mails will in future be dispatched twice a month. v ~ ~ :c.~,'jll:. -.li EEO The performances of the length been brought to a close. - Mr. Macreu y p F ------ "E -1- 1 y - e at the Opera Comique last night (gratuitously Of course), in his celebrated scene from Henry IV., for the benefit ! of the Socield des Auteurs Dramatiques. A press of political matter 'precluded the possibility of my noticing hitherto the performance of H amlet at the Chateau of the Tuileries on Thursday night—an oc currence, nevertheless, that will figure among the most remarkable flutes dramatiques of our epoch. 1 The theatre of the Chateau is precisely the Hall of the National Convention. It is beautifully fitted up, and, lam told, capable of containing 1,000 spectators. This, however, appears doubtful, for there were present on Thursday night only 650 or 660 persons, and it was lit?rally crammed, The hour fixed for the commencement of the perform ance was eight o'clock. Accustomed as you are in Eng land to punctuallity in this respect, you would still admire ithe clockwork regularity of the Ding of the French. Pre cisely at the moment indicated his Majesty and the Queen ,followed by the whole of the Royal Family, with the exception of the Queen of the Belgians and the Duchess Auguste of Saxe-Coburg, entered the theatre and took their places. There were present at their entry Lord and Lady Cowley, and ~indeed the whole of the members of the Corps Diplomatiog and their ladies, to gether with—it is hardly necossary to say—the elite of French society, and a considerable numbk.z of foreigners of distinction. The pit was filled by officers in uniform, among whom were some three or four scarlet.' In short, a more gorgeous spectacle than the audience part of the , house presented has been rarely witnessed. The performance commenced immediately, and pro.- , ceeded to the close unbroken, by applause—an indication' of a desire to reward Macready's fine delivery of thy first soliloquy having been at once repressed upon re ' collecting that the etiquette de rigeur prohibited in the ' royal presence such manifestations. Macready lost nothing, however, by the delay, as you shall see pre sently. There is nothing to be said in the way of criticisn! on the performance of Hamlet on this occasion that I couitl think of obtruding on you. It was occasionally percep tible to the English present, that in those parts where the dialogue had been cut up to shorten the duration of the play, the force of habit was near involving more than one of the performers in speeches ordered to be omitted, but nothing occurred to mar the effect of the 'Perform ance, which was, generally speaking, admirable. The performance was not yet over when Mr. Mitchell received, through M. Delavigne (Conservateur du Mo bilier de is Couronne), an intimation that his Majesty would speak to him on leaving the Theatre for his apart ments. This intimation was moreover, accompanied by a splendid gold snuff-box, in a case, with the royal cipher beautifully chased upon the lid. Mr. Mitchell accordingly repaired to the point intimated by M. Delavigne (brother of the late celebrated Casimir Dela • vigne). Immediately upon the King's approach, his Majesty was made aware of Mr. Mitchell's presence, and addressed him with affability in French, but checking him self; resumed in choice English, thanking him for the pleasure he (Mr. Mitchell) had insured to him, to the Queen and Royal Family, and indeed to the people of Paris, by the admirable performances of the theatrical company he had brought over. " I have seen Hamlet played frequently," said the King, "and never saw the character so well supported as on this night. Among other Hamlets that I have seen was Mr. Bennett. Pray who is Mr. Bennett ?" Mr. Mitchell made a reply which I could not catch. "I have been delighted by Mr. Macready," continued the King, "and foktnd Miss Faucit chaomante." The Queen then addressed Mr. Mitchell, and with equal condescension and kindness similarly expressed herself ; and bowing graciously, the royal party moved on. The munificence of his Majesty did not end here, how ever; for Mr. Mitchell was accompanied to Mr.Macready's dressing-room by M. Delavigne, who presented to the tragedian, on the part of the King, his Majesty's and the Queen's thanks for the great gratification he had afforded them, and requested his acceptance of a most splendid poniard, in a still more magnificent case-. The blade, a real Damascus one, having upon it an in scription in Arabic, is set in gold; the hilt enriched with diamonds and other precious stones. The case is still more costly, being of pure gold, exquisitely chiselled, and set in rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds. Nor did the King's kindness and bounty end even here. On Friday Mr. Mitchell received, by command of the King, a message, expressing his regret that the enterprise had not been so successful as it deserved, ac companied by three bank notes, of a thousand franca each, towards covering his outlay. Thus worthily terminates an tuadertaking that will long be remembered. Mr. Mitchell left last night for London ; Mr. Macready leaves in 'a few days, bearing with him gratifying proofs of the favour ntovhich he was held here, among which the least is not tli s 6, thanks of the Commission des Auteurs Dramatique&—nmes. PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO MR. BRUNEL. On Friday last a sumptuous entertainment took place at the Albion Tavern on the occasion of presenting to Mr. I. K. Brunel, the engineer to the Great Western, Bristol, and Exeter, Bristol and Gloucester Railways, and other great public works, a testimonial of the high appreciation of his services. The chair was taken by Mr. Charles Russell, IMP., the chairman of the Great Western Railway, and nearly a hundred of the sub scribers sat down to dinner. The testimonial, which, prior to the entertainment, was exhibited in an adjoining room, is of very beautiful workmanship, and consists of a centre-piece and four accompanying ornamental dishes for fruit or flowers, with six salt cellars, all of silver gilt, in the style of Louis XIV. The value of the testimonial is upwards of 2,000 guineas, and the sub scriptions were limited to the sum of ten guineas from each subscriber. The centre-piece consists of a magnificent candelabrum, surmounted by a beautifully designed group of figures representing, on the base or plinth rising from the pediment between the brackets, Science. Genius, and Invention aiding Commerce ; whilst around the base are groups representing the four Sea sons. Elaborately wrought scrolls spring from the curved sides, supporting the candelabra for containing twelve lights. This costly and chastely-designed orna ment, which was executed by Mr. B. Smith, of Duke street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, measures 34 incheein height, is 30 inches square, and the weight of it is about 1,500 ounces. The flower and fruit dishes are of a triangular form, each being 12 inches in height, and 14 inches in diameter. They have very rich scrolls, with groups of figures round the pillars supporting baskets, exquisitely designed, and weigh together about 750 ounces. The six salt cellars are of a massive and highlynvrought cha racter, circular in form, with very rich feet, cOnsposed of figures riding on dolphins, the weight of the six being about 100 ounces. Immediately on the cloth being removed, a table bear ing the testimonial was exhibited to the company amidst deafening cheers. And the usual loyal toasts having been given and responded to, the Chairman pro posed, " The health of their distinguished guest, Mr. Brunel," and in doing so paid a high and well-merited tribute of praise to the ability and energy displayed by him, as well in the execution of the Great Western Railroad, as in the other important works in which he has been successfully engaged. The toast was drunk with three times three and one cheer more, reiterated again and again. • Mr. BRUNEL, who was evidently affected by the very warm manner in which the toast had been responded to, briefly returned thanks, and adverted with much feeling to the difficulty under which he laboured in returning thanks, surrounded as he was by many of those with whom he had become acquainted in the course of his railway experience, but whose professional connection with him had ripened into a hearty and lasting friend ship. It was indeed a source of deep gratification to re ceive a testimonial from and amidst such friends, and they would believe him when he said that his gratitude to those who had manifested so much kindly feeling to wards him amounted almost to a feeling of pain from his inability to express all that he desired to give utte rance to.—(Loud cheers.) They would permit him to repeat that his feelings overpowered him, and that he would only say the kindness he bad this day experienced would never be effaced from his memory.—(Cheers.) In his heart it would dwell for ever.—(Cheers.) The next toast was that of" Sir 'Bernhard Brunel," which was also drunk with three times three. Among the toasts that followed were those of " The Chairman," " Mrs. Brunel," and " Mr. C. A. Saunders, the Secretary of the Great Western Railway." Mr. Saunders, to whose able negotiations the present high standing of the Great Western Railway may be truly said to be mainly ascribed, in returning thanks, made t the between e important th r e ai I G w r a e y a , t announcem e nt,W estern and thatthe the dif ferences South- Western Railways had been amicably settled. The dinner was admirably provided by Messrs. Staples, and indeed it partook rather of the comfort, quiet, and elegance of a private party than the bustle and inconvenience almost inseparable from a public en tertainment. The inscription, which we have omitted to mention in describing the candelabrum on which it is engraved, is as follows : Presented to ISAMBARD KINGDOM BRUNEL ? EsQ., tho Engineer in Chief of the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, the Cheltenham and Great Western Union, and the Bristol and Gloucester Railways, By 257 Subscribers, to commemorate the completion of those great national works, and to r ecor d t h eir admiration of the science, skill, and energy manifested in the design and execution of them, their gratitude for the advantages conferred on themselves and the public ; and their esteem for the integrity and worth of his personal character.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND TIIE PRESS.- In relation to a paragraph on this subject, which we copied on Tuesday from the Times, the Morning Post of yesterday has the following :—" A statement havinggone forth to the effect that the Duke of Wellington has denied (and that in no very courteous terms) those facilities to the public press which have been hitherto afforded upon the occasion of her Majesty honouring with visits other noble members of the aristocracy, I feel it right to observe that I have the best authority for stating that no such letter as that which has been pub lished was ever written by his Grace, who, so far from having refused the desired permission to those who sought it, has granted the same in the most obliging mannor."—Post.
