The fifty-first edition, that fur 1850, of tills long-established and useful publication, has just been publ,hed, and falls in no way behind its predecessors either in its typography, accuracy, or ar rangements. The volume before us contains no 'less than 2,088 pages, being an Increase, since 1841, of 233 pages ; and, notwith standing the increased size, the price remains„ the same, viz., 30s. The present volume brings down to the latest date all infor mation respecing the residences, &c., of the members of the Legis lature and the Government, of the nobility and gentry, and of the members of the various professions and trades carried on In the me tropolis. A work of such ac,uracy and general utility is an in dispensable requisite in the counting-house and shop of every trader, and in the ofil:e of every professional man. As in the previous volumes, the contents are carefully arranged under the following heads .—" The Official," " the Street," "the Commercial." " the Trades," " the Law," " the Court," " the Parliamentary," " the Postal," " the City," " the Conveyance," " the Banking," and " the Assurance Directories ;" and by the aid of a copious index which is prefixed, - - any information which may be required can be got without trouble or loss of time. SHIPPING GAZETTE, Dzczunra 14, 1849. The perseverance and enterprise of Messrs. Kelly and Co. have again been mrafested in the publication of the " Post-office Direc tory," which comes forth at the appointed time with, if possible, increased claims "upon the patronage of those whom it concerns. The energy which has been shown, for half a century past, upon the production of this gigantic volume, has established such a com plete system of machinery as to ensure a degree of accuracy in the periodical correction of the several branches of information whien it is its province to supply. that a few years ago would have been thought impossible. But there is no mistake in the matter. The Directory of Messrs. Kelly is a masterpiece of unwearied industry, and the only book of a professedly useful and practical character that the merchants and traders of the city of London can Nor do without. It presents at one view an immense compendium of facts, arranged with such admirable precision and method as to be surely and immediately available. The book is divided into a circle of Directories, each having a specific head—namely, of Government Officials, Streets, Merchants and Tradespeople, Trades, Lawyers, Placemen, Peers and Members of Parliament, Post-office ant Civic Functionaries, Conveyances, Banking-houses, and Assurance-offices. The plan thus adopted is replete with advantages, for, if you have forgotten the name of any individual whose residence you desire to know, you find him under his occupation; the latter branch of analysis giving also a comprehensive tableau of the number of persons engaged in each of the multitudinous avocations carried on withih the boundaries of the metropolis: The reputation which the " Post-office Directory" enjoys has not been gained without warrant. It has proved itself to be immeasurably superior to all other attempts which have from time to time been made to super sede it ; and it may now be fairly viewed as a book of reference beyond the' remotest possibility of rivalry. That it will maintain this position there can be no doubt, for every year corroborates the public faith in its truth, and witnesses the continuance of that close and critical supervision, without which its credit and its value would greatly diminish. WEEKLY DISPATCH, NOVEMBER 25, 1849. The fifty-first annual publication of this most useful commercial work is now before us. The pr else we accorded to former editions may be imported into this notice without the slightest fear of being charged with exaggerat'on. Eyerything connected with the volume is marked with nnting,ging energy, and a desire to send it forth to the public in the most perfect and useful form. The principal matter is comprised under eleven heads, namely:—An " Official Di rectory ;" a " Street Directory ; " a " Trades Directory ;" a " Law Directory;" a "Commercial Directory ;" a " Court Directory;" a "Parliamentary Directory:" a " Postal Directory ;" a "City Di rectory ;" a " Conveyance Directory ;" and a " Banking Directory ;" The " Official Directory" contains an alphabetical list of persons h Iding situations in the East India House, Bank of England, the various Law, City, and all other public offices ; list of her Ma esty's Privy Council, the chief officers of State, and of her Majesty's Household, &c. The " Street Directory" contains the names and residences of private individuals and persons associated with trade and the professions. The " Commercial Directory and Professional Directory" contains an alphabetical list of all persons engaged in business, with an elaborate index, which enables any one, at a glance, to refer to any description of persons, whether brokers, bul lion merchants, artists, agents, or manufacturers. " The Law Di rectory" points to the names of all persons who hold offices in the Court of Chancery, the Court of Queen's Bench, the Common Plea', the Court of Exchequer, the Courts of Bankruptcy, the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, and the nature of those offices ; there is, besides, a complete list of attorneys, and their residences. •` The Court Directory" enumerates the names of ladies and gentle men 'unconnected with any trade or profession. "The Parlia mentary Directory" contains a list of the House of Peers, arranged according to their orders of precedence, with their names and residences ; and an alphabetical list of the Members of the House of Commons, with the counties and boroughs they represent, and - their London residences and country seats. " The Postal Directory" conveys every information relative to the rates of postage, the limitation of weight of letters, and their size, ice.; the names of all post-towns, and also of the resident post-masters. The " City Directory" contains the names of the Aldermen and Common-Councilmen, the harbour-masters, market-collectors, a list of sworn brokirs, a complete list of London and provincial newspapers, town and country newspaper agents, Bsc. The " Con veyance Directory" affords every information connected with the departure and arrival of railway trains ; a list of inns, wharfs, and quays, and the places whence waggons, vans, carts, vesseis, barges, and boats leave for inland towns and villages. The "Banking Di rectory" contains a list of banking establishments. throughout the country, the limit of the circulation of each, their branches, &c. We have now partially enumerated the counents of this enormous volume, and are bound to pronobnce it an honour to this great commercial nation, and to the enterprising publishers. There is no other work in which se much useful information is imparted, not to the man of business only, but to the Peer and the peasent, seeing that while:every counting-house desk groans under the weight of the Directory, the latter will find no difficulty in seeking access to its pages. EXAMINER, DECEMBER 1, 1849. This most useful and admirable book has entered on its second half-century. This is its flfty•first publication. But age adds to its strength and resources, and it was never so elaborate or so accurate as now. It comprises, as we have often said, many Directories, and contains ample information for inquirers of every class. There is no information wanting i❑ it which such a book ought to give, or which dwellers ln this great city are likely to require. Its " Official Di rectory" gives the name of every pub is employe, and all needful detail as to the public offices. Its "Street Directory" comprises every class and kind of London resident—an attempt never before made in such a compilation. Under its "Commercial and Trades' Directories" are arranged, in all classes, all who pursue the two thous Ind various business-occupations with which London is so grievously overstocked. The "Court and Law Directories," and those of "Banking and Assurance," have the like merit In -their several departments. In the" Postal Directory" we have the some what complex machinery of St. Martin's-le-Grand, and the countless offices and duties therewith connected, made clear and easy of com prehension. Nor is the ." Conveyance Directory" less useful. It is obvious that Without a strict arrangement and classification such ample and various information as the would be cumbrous and un serviceable. But in its order, divisions, and condensation, we have perhaps the most characteristic features of this extraordinary com pilation. The " Street Directory" is worth consulting with a view to this. It not only tells you the number of the house you want, bat it indicates its position and whereabouts. Let us add that Mr. Kelly's information is brought down to the very latest date, corn rising even the present Lords Albemarle and Alvanley, and the last election for Cork. BRITANNIA. DECEMBER 1, 1849. Of all the wonders of industry and skill produced by England in the course of the year it would be difficult to single out any one so remarkable as this. We should pronounce the effort impossible, were not its successful accomplishment before us. Let any one con sider the extent of our metropolis from east to west and from north to south—let him traverse some of its more crowded districts, and, passing from broad open lines of thoroughfare, dive down into winding lanes and cross courts, imperfectly known to even the most diligent seeker of " short cuts"—let him then stretch out into the suburbs, and mark the innumerab"e lines of roads branching out in all direction—let him glance as he goes at the various trades and occupations which everywhere meet his eye— and then ask himself what must be the amount of labour required to collect into one book and range alphabetically the name, the abode, and the occupation of every holder of every house in this mighty city. And not only so, but to give, as it were, a chart of every square, street. aed alley, indicating every turning, and describing the character of every house, and the name and calling of its inhabitant. Further a et, to collect together every member of every craft in this huge hive of industry, and to exhibit them, scattered as they are and unknown to each other, in a compact form together, so that any one tradesman, be lie a butcher, baker, or candlestick maker, may be picked out, without an instant's loss of time, from the crowd of his fellows. The production of such a work, so perfect in all its parts, and so minutely accurate, is a striking proof of our social progress, and. by showing how far the science of human classification may may be carried when men are most thickly packed together, seems to Indicate a more advanced stage of social fellowship than we have yet reached. The most ad mirable feature in this marvellous work is, that its size only adds to its clearness and precision, Exhibiting so readily the humblest name, whre embracing the metropol s, it puts one in mind of the trunk of on elephant, which can pick up a needle or root up a tree. One of its peculiarities is, that the whole book seems to have been compiled only the day befo e it is Witted, so lately is every change recorded. Even the typographical execution is a wonder of accu racy ; and the appearance of the whole work, throughout its two thousand pages and upwards, is fair and uniform, teflecting great credit on the press of tae Messrs. Kelly. Success so complete as to drive every competitor from the field has in no way relaxed the ex ertions of the Proprietors to consult the pubic convenience. The volume expands with the metropolis itself, and notes every change with the fide iy of truth itself. Every person who has had occasion to consult it must bear testimony to its judicious arrangement and its inestimable usefulness for ail the vafed aims of London busi ness; and to the great saving of time it effects for all purposes of re ference. In a word, it is the largest collection of facts in the word, and the most complete exposition of the life and industry of the me tropolis that could possibly be desired. JOHN BULL, NOVEMBER 24, 1849, As often as this gigantic volume meets the eye in its annually renewed form, the question rises in the mind, how it is possible to trace, in the ever-shifting stream of London life, each unit of the countless multitude, and to identify on each Individual spot the beings that house and nestle there. And another question follows naturally in the train of the former —how is It possible that such an undertaking can repay the enormous outlay which of necessity it must occasion, at a price, for the size of the volume, 53 exceedingly moderate. On the latter point, however, the annual re-appearance of the volume, In an ever improved and enlarged form, is a sufficient answer. Patriotic as his laborious undertaking proves Mr. Kelly to be, we apprehend he is too wi e a man to push his patriotism to the extreme of making the public a present of 'the volume; and on the other hand the public is hardly to be supposed so insensible to its own interest and inconvenience, as not to give the abundant encou ragement it deserves to a work so eminently useful. As for the accuracy of the information, down to the latest practicable moment, it se happens that the present year affords several remarkable tests. Two Noble Lords, the Earl of Albemarle and Lord Alvanley, have died within the last month, the Cork election has only just been gazetted, and two Bishops have been created, though neither of them is as yet consecrated. Nevertheless we find, on turning to the Peerage, the two noblemen who have recently succeeded, in their proper places ; Dr. Hind and Dr. 011ivant settled in their sees; and in the " Parliamentary Directory," Colonel Chatterton, the new Member for Cork, duly registered. CHURCH OF ENGLIND QUARTERLY REVIEW, JANUARY, 1850. We well remember a gentleman of a somewhat unimaginative turn; on being appealed to for his opinion of Mr. Dickens's works, replied that they did not appear to him to contain much general in formation. This would have been the very book for him, for it is full of general information. We recollect " Kent's Directory," the first of the family to which this work belongs ; and we also remem ber the " Post-office Directory " in its cradle, and a somewhat weakly and rickety bantling it was. We never thought it would nave attained to the fair proportions of the volume before us, or have displayed the intelligence whi h we find in its pages. Exclusively of a " Street," " Commercial," and " Court Directory," it contains all sorts of information desirable to the merchant and the tradesman; while the l'ost-office regulations, in addition to their fulness, have the crowning recommendation of authenticity. Among the number less competitor. for public favour at this time, we know none more valuable to a mercantile man as a " Christmas or New Year's Gift.' CHURCH AND STATE GAZETTE, DECEMBER 28, 1849. Here is an annual which has completed its first half century, and which is almost load enough for a moderately strong man to carry. From the excellent map of London, at the beginning, to the last page—(and there are upwards of two thousand of them)—there is not a word in this gigantic volume which a critic can cavil at : his oeenpation is gone. In the pages before us there is no flattery—as little of foolish argument—and nothing but truth. Nothing but truth I —and yet it 13 a guide to our national offices—a Directory for our streets and all who therein dwell—as well as for Trade, Law, the Court, the Parliament, ant the City. In short it is a book that everybody, at some time or other, stands in need of ; and, as we have said before, it not only tells nothing but truth, but is the only unin spired book of which such a character can be given. SPECTATOR, Novxataast 24, 1849. This has no new features of any importance, but its utility and completeness are enforced afresh at each examination. We ray nothing of direct and obvious uses for reference, because we have often spoken of them ; but whether for the purpose of discovering the domicil,: or busines o a Person of 'whom the inquirer has but ot y9slender trace, or for to stir; the apparent respectability o f a man b y tracing his ivhereabo lcrseveral years, or for go i ng direct to your pointk4 iu in a n s eig b h a bottrl. c irrall a o u d 7 streetr waya to iutd whichsot are a Str anger, th i s boo ror wunrio, Buck . friars-road is some three-quarters a mile long ; you have to go .to a p-rticular hon. e, but you know not *hereabouts the number is— whether at tae Bridge 'or the Obelisk end, or may intermediate po nt. Yoa turn to'he " Street Directory," and find that No. 197,15 next tour to Surrey Chapel, celebrated of yore as Rowland 11111's. Even if you have no local kilow ledge, a simple division of the numbers will tell you whether the house you seek is towards the ends or middle of the street. And this is only one incide•itul use of the remarkable volume. COURT JOURNAL, DECEMBER, 22, 1849, Amongst the many instances of metropolitan industry and skill, we can point to none more remarkable and useul in Ps way than the " Post-office London Directory." We have but to draw Atten tion to the vast extent, of this metropolis, with its great mass of population, embracing all ranks, professions, an .1 trades, and we may form some notion of the immense labour and energy which must have been expended before such materials could have been got into such a systematic form as that at one glance we can be made acquainted with every street, every house, and eery whether amongst the nobility, gentry, merchants, profess! wet men, traders, and tradesmen, with the private residences and places of business of ,each, within the metropolis and its immediate environs. This publication is not simply one Directory, but comprehends an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," " Commercial Direc tory," " Trades' Directory," "Law Directory," "Court Directory," " Parliamentary Directory," " Postal Directory," " City Directory," "Conveyance Directory," "Banking Directory," &c. The "Street Directory" furnishes the names of the residents in each street or place. The " Commercial Directory" has all these latter in com p plete alphabetical order, while the nobility and gentry will be found in similar arrangements in the "Court Directory." The " Trades' Directory " exhibits all the memt era of each of , the two thousand trades, classified distinctly—the sub-divisions of each being sui'ably distinguished. The "Law Directory" is devoted to the classifica tion of the members of the profession, together with the general legal matters appropriate to a work of this character; while the " Parliamentary Directory " furnishes all requisite information as to Pars And • and Members of Parliament, and as to their town residences and country seats. The " Postal Directory " gives full instruction on the subject of Money Orders, and of the transmission of letters and newspapers to all parts of the world. The "Conveyance Directory" is devoted to the important subject which Its tile indica es, as are the "Banking " and " Assurance Directories." Such a mass of similar information was never exhi- - bited, until the appearance of this work; and when we look at its stupendous appearance we are proud to encourage the undertaking , upon national grounds. BELL'S WEEKLY MESSENGER, 'DECEMBER 22, 1849. No book in existence conveys such a vivid and impressive idea of the magnitude, wealth, and almost infinite occup diens of the dwe:lers in the metropolis of the world, as the volume now before us. and which has establishe 1 for its compiler a reputation which will last as long . as England shall continue to hold her position among the nations of the earth. Without a careful examination of the contents of this immense volume, it would be impossible tc , form anything like a correct idea of its value, or of the labour which must have been spent In its compi ation. Certainly no merchant sr tradesman, no puttic or private company, oaght to be without a copy. Under its twelve separate Dlrector:es, London and its professions. : and trades are so fully and accurately classified, that nothing legitimlitely belonging to either of these heads will be looked fur in vain. ERA, Novzycarze 25, 1849. This publication, which is a kind of national annual, has now been more than half-a-century before the public. It contains now no fewer than 2,091 pages of most useful and appropriate information, under the heads of the "Official," the "Street," the "Commer cial; the " Trades," the "Law," the "Court," the " Parliamen-' tary," the "Postal," the " City," the " Conveyance," the " Banking," and the " Assurance Direcibries," &c., Etc in reference to all of which it gives what thousands, particularly those in business, will. desire to know. Alm numerous facts here collected form an extra ordinary mass of valuable intelligence, and the only wonder is how so many authentic particulars can be gathered together In one book. It is only the experience and consequent improvements of years that could do so much. Many are the people who must be engaged in getting up this printed world of information, notwithstanding the system of accumulation which is doubtless observed in preparing every new volume. What book can tell you so much in reference to the occupations and domestic relations of people ? The mere ad dresses are sufficient to, excite special wonder —look at the Smiths, for instance, or the Browns, and you will marvel that there are so many of each in the world. Is must be borne in mind, however, that this extraordinary Directory does not confine itself to people's whereabouts, nor what companies dor or protess to do. We have all that is official set forth, and a book of reference for all occasions 'sm. nected with the business of life. The public now find this book in dispensable to the various commercial and social purposes to which it is devoted. ATION AL LOAN FUND LIFE L. N ASSURANCE SOCIETY. 26, CORNHILL, LONDON.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London llovital Medical Soddy, &e. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent. of his practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatnaent of tbese diseases.

As a gene ral Directory, it is immeasurably superior to those pseudo-cheap and ephemeral publications which, under various phases, and dif ferent denominations, have struggled into existence by plagiarism from this work, and which, by the preface, we see are now totaJly defunct. The price at which the book is published, places it within the reach of that class (the trading community) for whom it is espe cially designed, while to the courtier and Parliamentary man it km the recommendation of affording him the most useful and accurate summary to be obtained of the "modern Babylon." LITERARY GAZETTE, DICEMBER 1, 1849, Talking of Annuals, this is the real and veritable Triton of the Minnows—the genuine useful Repository, the unque.stionable Pro phetic Almanack, that will guide to thousands of unknown events. Of its bulky and most intelligent predecesser we observed, that it could only belong to, and be produced in England; we ought, perhaps, to have said, in London. We need not repeat our praise of the industry employed (it must be constantly, from year's end to year's end), ner our wonder at the mass of minute information thus collected into one grand volume—a very mountain of distinct par ticles 1 But we must point attention to the lateness of the date to which this information is brought up. Incidents and changes not yet a fortnight old are enumerated here with the same precision as if they had taken place at midsummer. Fifty years' practice has indeed led to perfection. ATLAS, NOVEMBER 24, 1849. A stranger would take a week to trace the increase of London within the last few yeitrs. In this roost unique of publications he may see it at a glance Year after year the volume continues en larging, till the once modest tome bids fair to become the moat portly octavo ever sent out from the prem. After the reader has done admiring the astounding immensity of the metropolis, and the enormous multiplicity of its trades, companies, and buildings, he may begin to admire the stupendous labour and enterprise with which a private undertaking like this is begun and carried on. The present volume is on the plan of former years—a plan combining so much utility to every one as scarcely to need improvement. The publica tion is carried down -to the latest moment ; several important changes being registered which occurred as late as the 13th of this present month. This digest of the immensity of London is much more than a Mere mercantile convenience. As a statistical account, it has the highest value. formimr, la is_any respects. one of the most extraordinary books in the world. lIERAPATIPS RAILWAY JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 24, 1849. The " Post-office London Directory" for 1850 is out. It occupies a space on one's book-shelf as large as two or three other good sized volumes put together, and, in point of utility, especially to the commercial classes, it must occupy a first place in public esti mation. In it is contained a mass of most useful information ; information that is not to be found elsewhere. Additions and corrections are observable in the present edition of the " Post-office Direct° y ;" so that the Messrs. Kelly appear determined to distance all attempts at competition and undemairung, whether from a host of little competitors to parts of the work—constantly appearing and as periodically dying off -or front Members of Parliament; for be it remembered that some time ago, certain gentlemen of the Lower House, seeing so great and important a work successfully conducted by private enterprise, thought it time for the Government to stop and take possession. A little delibera tion, however, soon taught them that though the position of head of the " London Directory" was a desirable post to occupy, it was one which they could not manage without encountering too much labour and risk of failure. The " Post-office bl-ectory" bus now retched its 51st year, a good age, but it seems to be all the better for it, and likely to improve in appearance every year that it grows older. We think the public are much indebted to Messrs. Kelly for the great exerticns they evidently bestow in the pro daction of a work of so much national utility. It is a work of every -day reference which no person in the active walks of life should be without. Kelly and Co., Old Boswell-court, Temple-bar, and an Booksellers: HORNSEY'S WORKS.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you aro 40 years of age, you will remember the thOusairds of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cater Act, Nervous ne.elach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of Like Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Ilerrics, Fsq., to Mr. William Grimsteue, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was ra account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to bo stamped.
