General Whish is going on a tour of - 3peotion to Assam, to uncertain whether any ein forcements will be required fur the purpose of put ting them down. The differences with the Kookies, another predatory tribe on the Assam frontier, are stated to be in a fair way of settlement, their principal chiefs having agreed to terms and given hostages. Little doubt is entertained that the scheme of postal reform to be recommended by the commis sioners to Government will embrace an anna postage for all newspapers, a very reduced charge for the transmission of letters, and a plan for the adoption of the money-order system on a basis suitable to the requirement of the population. The Nizam's affairs remain in statu quo. The scheme of the contribution has completely broken down; but the Nizam has sent to his mint 32,000 gold mohurs (about 48,0000 to be converted into rupees, to contribute towards tue payment of his debt to the company, and some believe that his private treasury is by no means so bare as he represented it 4o be. The country, particularly about Elichpore, is in a very disturbed state, and the Nmzasn's merce varies, especially the Arabs, evince a very hostile feel ing towards us, insult our officers and troops, and seem almost desirous of a collision ; but the strength and efficiency of the contingent and subsidiary force, and of the splendid irregular cavalry of the former, are such as to preclude all anxiety on the ..:core of such a contingency. Sir Willoughby Cotton left Bombay by this mail. His administration has, it is said, been a model one, for the firmness, yet kindness, with which he hay maintained the discipline of the army, and for...the impartiality and strict attention to service clairui and seniority which have marked the dispensation of his patronage. On the 31st of December he was enter tained by his friends at a farewell dinner in the Town Hall, at which about 200 were present. He will be accompanied to England by his aid-de-camp, Capt. D'Arcy. Sir G. Anderson's commission having at length arrived at Ceylon, he was sworn in as Governor on the 27th of November.

POST -OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY, For 1851, name of every householder among the two millions of inhabitants. Such, is, however, the fact. The " Post Office Directory" will tell him all this and more ; for, besides the names of streets,tlanes, and alleys, it will supply a distinct index to all professions and trades, and to all establishments aboat which any one can have occasion to inquire. ,The librarians of the British Museum have been some tea or twenty years trying to catalogue some 300,900 or 400,000 books, and they are not yet one quarter through the work. Would it not be well to send them to the compilers of the " Post Offide Directory,' who have found out a way to catalogue some two millions of items every year ? your orders, supported by four hundred hatters to defend from the weather the locks or the wigs which any of the seven hundred professors of hair-dressing, let alone the pain barbers, will gladly dress or supply. Six hundred and odd coal merchants —real and brass-plate—will supply coals to boil the kettle for the tea, which eight hundred and eighty manufacturers of milk will weaken and slightly discolour with their patent composition. Let us turn front the body to the intellect and the soul. For the mighty tnas:,—four hundred and fifty public and national schools proffer education, mostly free; whilst seven hundred and fifty other private acade mies will supply a similar article according to the price. By the National Church one hundred and forty-nine churches are pro vided for the people, more than halt of which are practically closed to the poor, by reason of their being private property. The rest of the religious accommodation is divided among the sections and sub- sections of Dissent, numbering one hundred and eighty in all. This is a sad picture. Hbw long will it be ere the painting ie altered ? The hody is indeed cared for in disease as well as .n health ; besides more than 300 physicians, waiting to be calledin, little lass than seventeen hundred surgeons are prepared to act es their pioneers. Such is London—living London—respectable London—on each of whose inhabitants depend so many of their fellow-denizens of the Monster Hive.

OVERLAND MAIL INDIA. Od; kid, 245, jour • - We have received by the ordinary semi-monthly express from Marseilles our letters and papers in an ticipation c , f the Overland Mail from India, which left Bombay on the 2d of January. Little of any public importance bas occurred in India since the departure of the last mail. The principal topic of the north-western papers has been the preparations for the interview between the Go vernor-G-eneral and Gholab Singh, which was to take place with much magnificence at Wuzeerabad on the 24th of December. The Marquis of Dalhousie was at Serokee, six miles from Wuzeerabad, on the 18th of that month. The Maharajah Gholab Singh ar rived at Sealkote, from Jumoo, on the 19th, and was expected to be at Wuzeerabad by the 22d. He was to wait on , the Governor-General on the 24th, and his Highness's visit was to be returned by his Lord ship on the 26th. On the 27th there was to be a grand review of the whole of the . British troops, at which her Majesty's 3d Dragoons and 9th Lancers were to be present; and this was to be followed, on the 28th, by a review of the troops in attendance on the Maharajah. The presents prepared by Gholab Singh for the interview are said to be ex tremely splendid. It was expected that the Governor- General would be invited by Gholab Singh to return his visit at Kashmere, and that the invitation would be accepted if it bad the appearance of being frankly and sincerely proffered. If the invitation be accepted, the visit to Kashmere will be undertilien ,about the end of March, on the return of the camp. froifi l Pet. shawur. _ _ HIPPING AND MERCANTILE GAZETTE, DEnarnta 6, 1850. The volume of this important and indispensable . Wprk for the forthcoming year has just made its a'ppearance, and exhibits no fail ing off, either in bulk or utility, when compel* with , the large family of volumes which have preceded it. The same 'Principles of division and subdivision are preserved, and such is the completeness of Vie plan, that any fact touching the occupancy or calling of a re sident in London is placed within the immediate grasp. lint the zealous and unwearying industry which has always P i resided over the preparation of this stupendous annual has too frequently been acknowledged to need panegyric no A'. The " Post &Mee Directory" has long been an essential in every counting-house :and such it will always be, so long as the same comprehensive spirit governs the supervision. The new volume contains every correction and addi tion that the lapse of another year has rendered necessary ; and the excellence of the machinery by which this is effected enables the editors to bring their labours down to a very recent period. A book in daily use, as this is, and subjected to such frequent reference, is tested as closely as it is possible to test anything of the tort ; and the best praise that we can bestow upon it is, that we never knew it to mislead any one by false or imperfect information. Every year ne cessarily improves the methods laid down for collecting the peculiar kind of intelligence in which it deals, and insures the more certainly the accuracy of its registration ; and as the book has loag distanced competition, so is it likely to remain what it has now for some years been, an extraordinary and unparalleled monument of diligence, energy, and enterprise. fki ; i od was ter. e of The following are Reviews of the New Edition, which have appeared in the leading Metropolitan Journals : ;21b r et , ,in ling !rig SUN, NOVEMBEU 13, 1850. Among the many products of British industry, none, perhaps, will better deserve a place in the Exhibition of 1881, than this mammoth volume, in itself a specimen of industry, research, accuracy, and typography, which has rarely, if ever been equalled, and which can never be surpassed, whilst, at the same time, it is the guide to, and the record of, all those great and magnificent industrial establish ments, to the existence of which in London she owes the proud posi tion which she holds as the metropolis of the civilized world, which occupy buildings covering a space of ground larger than the territo ries of many a German or Italian independent Prince, and which give employment to individuals whose numbers exceed those of the armies of many of the first-rate powers of the world. As a not un worthy specimen of British industry itself, and as a copious, and ac curate, and complete index to every other species of metropolitan in dustry, "Kelly's Post Office London Directory" is certainly entitled to a place in the Exhibition which is to take place in the Glass Palace of Industry in the year 1851. This publication of the " Post Of London Directory" commenced in the year 1799, and the present is, consequently, the fifty-second annual publication ; and it is a matter of curious research to compare the present with the early editions of the work, and to mark the vast improvement which has been effected ; in fact the present resembles the earlier editions in name merely. The work, in order to facilitate reference, is now divided into no less than ten Directories :—viz., an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a " Commercial Directory," a Trades Directory," a" Law Directory," a "Court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a " Postal Directory," a " City Direc tory," a " Conveyance Directory," and a " Banking Directory" ; and the whole is se admirably indexed that a person desiring any information with regard to the great metropolis or its inhabitants, cannot experience the slightest difficulty in at once laying his finger on the page of the %WV pages of which this book is composed, which contains the information he requires. The present edition of the Directory contains a list of the principal hotels and commercial inns throughout England and Wales, with the names of the occu piers, and the population. In this we see only another proof of the anxiety of the proprietor to make his work as complete, as useful, and as perfect as possible. As he himself well observes in his preface :—" Copiousness, accuracy, and appropriate clas,iflca tion, so that everything which may reasonably be exnected in such a book may not only he found, but found without difficulty, are in dispensable to perfection. These advantages can in any Directory only be attained gradually, and not completely until, as in this case, the work enjoys the entire circulation. While rivals existed pa tronage was divided between books which were, or should have been, counterparts of each other ; the public, thererore, had to pay more than they need hare done for such works as were brought out, and besides to submit to inferior productions, the total receipts not being sufficient to sustain two Directories of London, each as comprehensive as the present. And that the case was precisely as here stated is proved by the fact that this volume—to say nothing of its superior accuracy, classification, and general arrangement — contains about double the quantity of mere letter-press contained in the closing volume of its latest annual competitor, and is published to its subscribers at a lower price. So that the public, as well as the proprietor of the Post Office London Directory,' benefit by the circumstance that the work is—as it has for several years past been —without a competitor. It may be safely predicted that this fa vourable position will be continued—firmly established as this Di rectory is in public favour, it can only be necessary that an equal amount of diligence to that which has led to so gratifying a result still he continued, in order to sustain it; on this the public may with confidence rely." The public have for years past relied with confi dence on the exertions of the proprietors of the " Post Office London Directory," and have invariably found their confidence responded to, so that year by year the work has become more copious, more accurate, and better classified, until now it has attained that which is to all appearance a state of absolute perfection; and is, in every sense of the phrase, without a rival.

EXAMPLES OF BONUSES ALREADY DECLARED. WEEKLY DISPATCH, NOVEMBER. 17, lss&. Messrs. Kelly and Co. have just published the fifty-second annual edition of the " Post Office Directory." Having examined the con tents of this mammoth book, in every department, with scrutinizing attention, and having before given our unqualified approbation of it, we may readily be excused for printing the following observa tions from the address of the spirited publishers,' and adopting them as our Orylk :—" The Directory was long' t the head or books of its class, and has now, for many years, stood alone: its varied lists, classifications, and arrangements, comprising as they do—' Official Directory;' street Directory ;" Commercial Directory;' Trades' Directory ;" Law Directory;' Court Directory;' Parliamentary Directory ;" Postal Directory ;' ' City Directory;' Conveyance Directory ;" Banking Directory,' &c., leave all chances of com petition at hopeless distance, as successive attempia tenve !tally/roved. It cannot be requisite to give; in detail, the contents of a work so Universally known and in such general use, and all that can be neces sary to announce is, that every exertion has been used in order that the present edition may merit the gratifying description of its ima mediate predecessors, characterised as these have been, in the metro politan journals, as the ' Hand-books to the coMmerce of the first commercial city of the world.' Ia the case of sdch a volume, pro duced but once a year, mere cost must always be quite secondary to fulness of information and accuracy of arrangement; still, it may not be entirely irrelevant to direct attention to the fact, that, taking its bulk only, without reference to the general typographical and other arrangements, it is by far the cheapest book which issues from the English press. In the year 1844 the classification and ar rangements which have been since continued were adopted, and the price of the volume fixed at thirty shillings ; at this time the work had an opponent, and much surprise was excited that the Post Office London Directory' could, with its far greater amount of mat ter, be sold at a lower price than its competitor. In the year named, the' Post Office London Directory' was included in 1,855 of its im perial octavo pages ; it now extends to 2,082, being en actual excess of 227 of these pages. This large addition (male since the Po s t Office has been the only Dire c t or y o f L on d on ), al*iough necessarily involving a greatly increased outlay in the production, has been ac conplishel without any addition to the price of the book to its sub scribers."'

Letters from China appear to con fi rm th e appre hension entertained at the departure of last mail re garding the fate of the unfortunate ship Rustomjee Cowasjee. They state that she was dismasted in a gale near the coast of China, and while she was in that state the pirate junks boarded her, and mur dered all hands, except the boatswain and second mate, who were reserv-d to navigate the ship. They escaped shortly after, and arrived safely in Hong-Kong. Her Majesty's brig Serpent was sent in search of the pirates immediately, but returned without having seen them. Owing to the almost unprecedented pressure in the money market, one of the greatest firms in Bombay, Messrs. Dadabboy and Muncherjee Pestonjee, have been under the necessity of suspending payment, and placing their affairs in the hands of trustees. The extent of their landed property and other assets is, however, considered amply sufficient to cover their liability. Penna.

THE BOMBAY MARKETS, FROM THE 17TH DEC. TO THE 2D JAN. INCLUSITH. EXAMINER, NOTEMBIR 16, 1830. This extraordinary compilation maintains its high character. For copiousness, correctness, and admirable clas-illeation, it has no approach to a competitor. It is not simply one Directory; it is a dozen separate Directories; yet so skilfully arranged and connected as to tend each to the other's greater complete*ess. The several Directories of streets, trades, professi ons and persons, are a re inarkwde example of this. Each is complete i itself, yet none would be so to the same extent merely by itself., successive years (and the book is now ilfty-two years Old) have contributed their ex perience, till the arrangement may be pronounced nearly perfect. But we are needlessly commending what is becotne a public neces sity to every one engaged in the general business of London life. Perhaps we could hardly express the magnitude or wonders o f our city more forcibly to the foreign friends who visit us next May, than by placing in their hands this astonishing record of the trades and callings, of the several modes of life, of the infinitely vast and various streams of human existence and interests, which are now all gathered together under the name of London.

TIMES, NOVEADIER 14, 1856. The volume for the year 1851 has just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co , Boswell-court, Temple•bar, and is the 52d of a most valuable series. This volume, like its predecessors, contains a mass of very useful, and in the present state of the community almost Indispensable, information, compiled with indefatigable industry, and with an accuracy of research which may be relied on. The present volume is in arrangement and distribution of matter similar to these by which it has been preeeded. It is remarkably well printed, and made in appearance as handsome as a book of such a class can be made. What can be said of few books of the same bulk may fairly be said of it—that no part could be taken from it without doing it an injury, and its very bulk is a security for its copiousness. There is, as usual, a good map of London prefixed to the letter-press, and a variety of emendations which render it as perfect as sack a work can be made. MORNING HERALD, NOVEMBER 13, 1850. The fifty-second publication of this stupendous annual haS just made its appearance, exhibiting no remission of that intelligent and systematic industry which has hitherto given the book so specific a character for unique and comprehensive utility. Within this large and plethoric volume every name and residence, every trade and profession, incident to the metropolis is to be found arranged upon such a clear and orderly plan as to place it within in stant reach. Every succeeding issue has suggested some im provement in the methods of detail, as well as in the completion of the machinery by which such a multitudinous assemblage of facts might be revised and corrected at intervals ; and the book may now be pronounced perfect. The experience of the last few years has taught us to put the most implicit faith in the records of the " Post Office Directory." Error can scarcely be said to exist at all, so efficient is the process by which the separate lists are edited by special emissaries ; while the wants of any sort of inquirer, whether referring to the Government official or the City merchant, the professional man or the shopkeeper, are met by the judicious mature of the sub-divisions and the facility afforded by the treble Directories of streets, trade.l, and persons. But the characteristics of Mr. Kelly's mammoth periodical are well known, for no book is subjected to more frequent reference. It has now become a public necessity ; and to be without it would be an inconvenience the public would but ill like to encounter. We have often been called upon to applaud the immonce amount of laborious enterprise bestowed upon the prepara tion of this volume. Every fresh instance suggests the same species of apostrophe; and no one can turn over the two thousand pages of which it consists, every page a mass of small solid typography, with out being struck with the magnitude of the undertaking, and its im measurable usefulness to the public at large. We have nothing now to add to our former commendations. The volume for 1851 contains the usual number of Directories, besides a variety of information upon every subject either remotely or immediately connected with the occupancy of London. Remark beyond this is superfluous. MORNING CHRONICLE, NOVEMBER 13 , 1850 . The fifty-second annual publication of this most useful work has just been sent to as. The public, generally speaking, are fully alive to the merits of this enormous volume, extending to upwards of 2,000 closely printed pages, and nearly every person engaged in com mercial or professional pursuits in this great metropolis regards it as being necessary to him in his avocation in consequence of the constant reference he is compelled to make to it. It is possible, however, that there are some who may suppose that the "Post Office Directory" is merely a list of names of persons engaged in trade; whereas, we can assure them that it comprises, under separate heads, a number of different Directories, each of which furnishes a large mass of information, so admirably arranged that any matter apper taining to the distinct subjects may be readily found ranged under one of the following titles :—The Official," the " Street," the " Commercial," the Trades," " the " Law," the " Court," the " Par liamentary," the " Postal," the " City," the " Conveyance," and the " Banking" Directories. The proprietors state that, "copiousness, accuracy, and appropriate classification, so that everything that may reasonably be expected in such a book may not only be found, but found without difficulty, are indispensable to perfection ;" and as far as we have been enabled to test this large volume we can congratu late them on having at to that perfection. • MORNING POST, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. This remarkable pablication has reached its fifty-second year, and, biliky as it is, it does not contain a superabundant line, or an item of information which might have been withheld without detracting, from its completeness. This is good evidence that utility rather than display has been aimed at ; and the remark carries along wtth it a high compliment to the discretion, ability and public spirit of Mr. Relly. Although competition has ceased, the circumstance has had no relaxing iffect upon the efforts of the proprietor to preserve the character of his publication, as will be abundantly seen by all who have occasion to refer to its pages. The great streams of in formation are, as usual, the " Official," the "Street," the " Commer cial," the "Trades," the "La w," the "Court," the " Parliamen tary," the "Postal," the "Conveyance," and the "Banking "‘ Directories. As 4ffording an index to the commercial greatness of London, as well as to many other of its characteristics, a perusal of the lists cannot be deemed uninteresting ; on the contrary, it may invite the application of some time and trouble to work out a few results. Without aiming at anything beyond a fair approximation to the truth, the following facts may be stated :—Of persons holding official situations under the Crown, in the East India House, the Bank of England, and other public offices, 7,000 names are inserted. ga7,350 streets, the names of 110,000 persons re mentioned as en ged m business, or as householders, In the "Commercial Direc tory," where the names appear without the street classification, and are limited mainly to those engaged in business, 80,000 may be taken as the number. In the analysis which is given of the persons en gaged in trades and professions (eicluding the law), 90,000 names appear. In the "C ourt Directory" 26,000 names are given. Taking the religious characteristics of London as the subject of analysis, we have: 264 churches and 84 chapels belonging 0 the National Church ; and 291 Dies 'ntitag meetim-houses. The last are very varied in name, and unequal in point of number. The Independents hive 81 places of worship ; the Wesleyan., 44; Baptists, 69; Ro ma,i Catholics, 19 ; Unitarians, 4 ; Irvingites, 3; Society of Friends, 8 ; Jews, 7 • con nected with Scotch system, S ; of foreign ehtpels, there are rt'avarian, Danish, German, French, Greek, Swedish, and Italian. The " Directory" contains a minute, but clearly engraved map of London, on a scale of three inches to the mile. MORNIN , I ADVERTISER, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. Among the proofs of England's commercial, social, and political greltness—the last named being a necessary Sequent of the two former—we can certainly point with pride to the huge volume be fore us. It is, like the people whose avocations, professions, resi dences, and names It so accurately catalogues and classifies, lat'ori ens, able, energetic practical, and solid. A microcosm of society, dry and unattractive at the first view. but full of utility, nay, an indispensable guide to him who seeks to track individuality in the vast labyrinth of London, which, if, in his ignorance, he supposes to to be a cknfused hive of hurrying money-seekers, an understand ing examination of Messrs. Kelly's stupendous Directory will show to be " A mighty maze, yet not without a plan." Here In this storehouse of multitudinous facts, even the foreigner may gleam some idea of the - vast variety of industrial pursuits, which :have made England great, and keep her so. The num ber of merchants, manufacturers, shopkeepers, professional men, government officials, the butterflies of fashion, the peerage, and even those whom fortune has elevated to the questionable privilege of " Nati eonsumere fruges," may here be approximately guessed ; and a picture in little of the latour and battle of life in this country be drawn by those w ho possess the requisite application and perspicacity. On the whole, " The Post Office Directory " is an honour to the direc tors of so much systematic and intelligent industry, and its fifty second issue " moults no feathe r " of its previous fame. Every subject remotely or immediately bearing upon the ob;ect of the work seems to he foreseen and contrived for, and as the re cord of " a million of facts," it is the only volume we have ever seen to which we:could, without reservation, fairly apply that o ft en mis-used title. • DAILY NEWS, NOVEMBER 14, 1850. " The Post Office London Directory" for 1851 has just been issued ; a nd after an examination of its multifarious contents, we it toy declare it deserve a continuance of the extensive patronage t has hitherto so long received. More than 2 , 000 pages, divided into somewhere about 5,000 columns of close type, contain a mass of information about London and its people to be found in no other book. To estimate this Directory fairly, one should go with some degree of attention through its pages, and then try to calculate the amount of labour bestowed on its production, and the great amount of time it saves to those for whose use it is intended. Having done that—no rapt i task —an attempt may be made to see how far it is accurate. Turn to the name of any person who, in trade or pro fession, has recently removed from one prominent part of London to another, and see if the name be posted up. After submitting the volume to a test of this kind, which it stood most completely, we feel no hesitation in bearing witness to its accuracy and complete ness. And we may add, teat among the many things that may fall under the notice of our foreign friends who come to see the Ex hibition of 1851, few are adapted to convey a more exact idea of the vastness of the metropolis of England than this huge volume with two thousand pages filled with the names, addresses, and occupa tions of her chief residents and citizens. STANDARD, DECEMBER 2, 1850. This publication is one of the marvels of our age —a work as much exceeding the celebrated " Annua re of Didot" as London exceedi at the to Paris in wealth, population, and exitertt. Our readers may rdmernber in a late number of the " Quarterly Review" a remarkable article that he might in one minute, de3cri bliff the wonderful machinery of the General Post Office. Now, " Post Office Directory" is really a counterpart of that wonderful machinery.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0 0 0/. (Incorporated ander 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office ar 3 -Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highe.t importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an aporoximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. rhea true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap ?roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted n, or systematically apalied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by , supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analvsis of its own experience, from time to tire, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

This gigantic publication, with its two thot;sand pages of closely packed type, seems to leave nothing more to be desired in the way of new subjects, or the exhibition of those subjects in different as pects, so that the searcher, who from want of particulars fails in one mode cf examination, may have recourse to another. If there are here and there slight errors or ornis‘itins of detail, they may f,irly be ascribed to the multiplicity of minutiae, or to the necessity of sometimes relying on second-hand information. It would be well, however, to bear to mind the necessity of unceasing watchfulness as regards accuracy. JOHN BULL, NOVEMBER 1(, 1850 The fifty second edition of that monster repertory of the great Babylon of modern times, and of all that dwell and trade therein, —Kelly's " Post Office London Directory for 1851"—is now lying before us; bearing witness in its annually increasing bulk to the incessant growth of the metropolis in all directions. In every de partment of its encyclopmdic contents the present edition furnishes evidence of the indefatigable industry with which it is kept au courant' of the countless changes which take place from year to year in so vast a population. HERAPATITSRAILWAY JOURNAL, NovE MBES 16, 1850. The fitly-second annual edition, which has Just appeared, merits all that could be said for it. The Messrs. seem to glory in their " Post Office Directory," and to strive, year after year, to effect improvements. It is imoossible to deny that up to, and including the present praiseworthy edllon, they have succeeded. They have now securely in their hands the monopoly of the book, and far from abusing it, the result bears evidence that it has been beneficial to the public. ATLAS, NOYEUBER 16, 1850, 'Year after year adds to the wonders of this digest of the most wonderful of modern cities. "London," said M. Scribe, "is not a city, but an agglomeration of divers interests, passions, and preju dices." Whatever these may be, they are all tabled in this volume ; with a completeness and accuracy without a parallel. We scarcely know which to be the most proud of—the enormous city which could furnish material's for such a work, or the industry and enterprise necessary to reduce to order such a complex variety of facts, which make the volume as interesting to the curious as it is indispensable to men of business. The volume this year extends to 2,091 pages. The classification is the same as usual; in fact, it was impossible to improve upon it. We have examined for ourselves many of the new references for the present year, and can bear testimonyto their per fect accuracy. BELL'S WEEKLY MESSENGER, DECEMBEI 7, 1850. We congratulate Mr. Kelly on the appearance of the; fifty-second edition of this most valuable publication.

MODERN BABY I ONT . . The advertisement sheets of e. lading journal al have with justice been characterised as the miniature of the wants, the wisnes, and the employments of the nation, of which a perfect Directory would be the daguerreotype. Such a son -painting of living London now lies before us, comprised in a mass of paper and print that frights us to behold. More than two thousand pages of close printing, and many columns in each page, are required to chronicle the residences and the occupations, not of Landoll en masse , but merely of her upper and us in designating the well known" Post Office Directory" as amost useful book, if not an'actual necessary to the man of business. We must, however, go further. middle classes. All will agree with and speak of it as one as full of instruction as of information, and more profitable for useful consideration than many a book filled from cover to cover with statistics of men and things. In its mass of type we have London laid out before us, in the social re) lotions of her people, as clearly aa the hest panorama has ever depicted the brick and stone of her outward garb. She is here, merchants, professionals, and trades living, breathing London, represented by the classes who form the strength of her population, who not only consume, bat by them selves and their subordinates create l the wealth of which she boasts. Let us consider the various divisions of our higher and middle classes as they are mapped out before ns. Within her boundaries, as the mart of commerce, as well as well seat of Royalty . and Go vernment— the emporium of trade, as as the centre of professional exertion are gathered i n perfect amasses. When we speak of these boundaries we speak not of the narrow closely_packed city, within its ancient line of walls, whence the great aggregate of the metre polls takes its name, but of that maneda,talent—officials, couriers , aggregate of life and life's abodes d th speak of a city of upwards of seven thousand streets, a n more an oae hundred and fifteen thousand houses, inhabited by t th a e n upper and middle classes.

Now, the way to obtain this respect, more or less, Is centred in one little syllable, "Dress ;" Only think what respectable clothing has done, And especially that of E. MOSES and SON. Respectful attention is gained by a suit, And many have realised fortune to boot. The greatest advantage, the greatest success Are centred in that little syllable " Dress." Then away to the Dress-mart of MOSES and SON, Whose garments such boundless approval have won ; Such elegant dresses were never displayed, Till the Warehouse of MOSES appeared in the trade ; And as for the cloth and the putting together, The clothing will serve you in all kinds of weather ; You'll find when you see them, they've, not a defect, And when you once wear them, you'll meet with respect; And many good chances in life will be won, If you take the costumes of MOSES and SON.

SINGULAR CASE OF SUFFOCATION.—On Wednes day last an inquest was held at the Spangled Bull Inn, Soot hill Nether, near Dewsbary, before Mr. Taylor, deputy coroner, on view of the body of a child seven weeks old, named Martha Fell. The mother of the deceased took the child on the previous day to its grandmother, who shortly afterwards put it into a shut-up bed in a room upstairs, where her son worked. Tier son went into the room, and not observing the child turned up the bed. The mother of deceased came in in a little while, an d was told the child was in bed upstairs; she went up, but not seeing deceased she made inquiries which led to the discovery of what had been done. The child was quite dead when found. Verdict " Accidentally iuffoated. "--Doncaster Chronicle. No marked improvement can as yet be recorded in the health of the garrison of Lahore ; the number in hospital is slightly diminished, but the number of deaths has increased. Ninety-five men in the Ist European Fusiliers have died of the prevailing disease, and that regiment has altogether lost 139 men during the last ten months. At Peshawur the sickness is decreasing; the number in hospital, which has been upwards of 2,600, is now below 1,400. The weather in the Punjaub has been this season much less favourable than usual, and the setting in of the cold weather considerably more backward than is generally the case. This in some measure accounts for the unexpected continuance of the prevailing sickness. Arrangements are being made for improv ing, as far as possible, the location of the troops ; the greater part of the garrison of Lahore are to be moved from Anarkulee to Meean Meer. It is all but settled that Loodiana is to be given up as a military station, on account of its insalubrity, and because it is now no longer a frontier town, and it is said that the troops at Sealkote are also to be removed to a more healthy and convenient locality. The organization of the Punjaub police force is now nearly complete ; it is to consist of six battalions of infantry and a mounted force of about 2,700 ; the whole is to be under the command of Major Nevile Chamberlain, an officer of great energy and experi ence in the command of irregular troops. He will be assisted by three subaltern officers, designated Lieutenants of Police. In addition to this police corps, there is now a complete irregular force in the Punjaub—infantry, cavalry, and artillery—an experi ment on a much larger scale than any of the kind hitherto attempted by Government. No doubt was entertained in India, by those conversant with the subject, concerning the superior efficiency and eco nomy of well-officered irregular corps in maintaining the peace of a newly-acquired territory. Some Seikhs have been admitted into the ranks of the 65th Regiment of Native Infantry, having pre viously agreed to submit to their beards being taken off, as a condition of their entering a regiment of the line. The national attachment to beards was the principal remaining obstacle to Seikh enlistment in our army, but it is hoped that many will soon follow the example thus set them. The Bengal army will be all the better for a slight infusion of new blood. Sir C. Napier left Ferozepore on the 18th of De cember en route to Kurachee, where he was expected to arrive about the Bth of January ; the steam-frigate Mozuffir has been placed at his disposal by Govern ment. It is expected that he will leave Bombay for Europe by the mail steamer of the 17th of January. Sir Charles has publiAled a farewell general order deprecating the propensity of the officers of the In dian army to incur debt, the extravagance and luxury of messes, and the fatal facilities for officers bor rowing money at usurious interest afforded by the north-western banks of India. Sir Charles held his last Indian review at Ferozepore on the 11 th of December, and was enthusiastically received. In the evening he was entertained by her Majesty's 78th Ifighlanderi, and in returning thanks for his health being drunk, took occasion to declare that he had never known a more worthy or truly noble-minded man than his predecessor, Lord Gough, and spoke with the highest possible praise of the gallantry and .efficiency of the Sepoy armies of the three presi dencies. vv The principal topics of interest from the north western provinces are the proceedings against the great army contractor, Jotee Persaud, and the de falcations of the North-Western Bank. Regarding the former, it will be remembered that the judicial authorities at Agra had declared the recognizances of Jotee Persaud and his sureties to be forfeited on account of his not having made his appearance in the Agra Court by the appointed day, and had issued peremptory orders for attaching the property, both at Agra and Meerut, of his legal adviser and surety, Mr. Lang, who in vain protested against the legality of such a procedure. The attachment has since been removed, at the instance of the Calcutta authorities, who have informed those of Agra that Jotee Persaud's recognizances can only be forfeited by the Judges of her Majesty's Supreme Court. It appears from the official documents of unquestioned authenticity, which have found their way into the newspapers, that the evidence against Jotee Persaud has been extorted by intimidation, and promises of pardon to one Bowang Doss, who, at the time, stood committed at Agra on a charge of perjury. The usual excuse set up for this practice of extorting evi dence, which is notoriously very general in the com pany's Courts in India, is, that it would be difficult to obtain native evidence on other terms. No such diffi culty is, however, experienced in her Majesty's Supreme Courts at the three Presidencies. The systematic and long undetected falsification of the books of the North-Western Bank affords an in structive instance of the insufficiency of the usual precautions (regular audits and published accounts), as they are usually applied, for the protection of the shareholders of joint-stock companies. " Friends, toes, and unconnected auditors,' says the Delhi Gazette, " all bore testimony, year after year, to the accuracy of accounts which have been falsified in every shape ; one director asserts, another reiterates. The audit of August, 1849, justifies the confidence expressed in February, 1848. Society at large accepts, and in many cases stakes happiness upon a cheat, which an hour's well-applied work would have sufficed to dissipate." The passing of the long-delayed Act for enabling the Bengal Government to take possession of the land required for the railway in that presidency has terminated the inconveniences which its non-appear ance had occasioned to the engineers and contractors of the Calcutta Railway, and the progress of that undertaking will, consequently, be henceforth much more rapid than it has hitherto been. The electric telegraph has been completed as far as Diamond Har bour, and it is proposed to extend it still further down the Hooghly. The affairs of the Bombay Railway are progressing smoothly; another call of 15s. per share has " bee ch n made, making V. 10s. (or half the amount of sr share) called up. The first shipment of r ails °aver rived, and tenders for the sleepers have be _ET mail of tised for.

The existing contract will probably be re vised, an d, meantime, the surveys will be proceeded w i t h by the local committee, a separate account being kept of the special expenditure thereby incurred. The Nepaulese Ambassador has arrived at Calcutta, and great preparations for his honourable reception have been made by his own Government, who have dispatched a large body of troops to their frontier to welcome him. There have been some disturbances in Assam, oc casioned by the Nagas, a hill tribe on the Burmese frontier. About 500 regular troops, and the head quarters of the Assam Light Infantry, are at present engaged in operations against them. The object of the expedition is the destruction of the strongholds THE MONEY MARIET.—In rates of interest we havt no change to report, although money is in greater de mand, and borrowing even on Government securities is difficult.

SUUMARY OF THE CALCUTTA MARKET. (From the Overland Star, December 11.) Our last overland summary was dated the 7th instant. The Bombay express, with dates from home to the 7th ult., arrived early in the morning of the 18th. Amongst the manufacturers and spinners of Manchester the paci fication of Germany was looked upon as certain, nor was there a different opinion entertained in Germany it'll as the orders from that country continued to be execute - for some with spirit, affording employment to our En il therefore looms,oe which were in full operation. reasonable ground to apprehend that tliewslpblyeupon time to come of piece goods and yaras . 11 e d The prospects of a larger scale than has been expect not altered for the b better; American cotton crop havenitec States to Great Britain ' but the exports from thl obe r show a material • We have increase during September and 0 ex ports in th • e same period last as compared with consumptionthe itself, however , year.

Under these circumstances, our quire ho lders undoubtedly see the policy of a firm line of action, particularly as our grain crops promise an abundant yield, and other products of the soil have, for some months past, returned a handsome profit to the culti vator, which facts always tell in favour of our import trade. The only drawback is a partial scarcity of funds, which will soon be got over by the expected remittances from all parts of the country and from Chins. Latterly the demand for all kinds of Manchester goods has fallen off to some extent, as is usually the case in these months, when the severity of the winter in the higher provinces checks business, and the stoppage of the FhpueeinlY presents difficulties and entails additional expense on the transmission of goods to the interior. _Prices also have in several instances experienced a further decline, stocks generally are not excessive.
