As a proef 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 in no one case have we found the change overlooked. This is conclusive proof of the general care that is bestowed to render the work sc. curate as well as voluminous; for it is fair to conclude that any one applying the test within his own range, would find the same vigi lance. In every point of ♦iew it is a wsrk of vast utility, and in dispensable to all persons who have any business to transact in this mighty centre of business. It supersedes all other guides and Directories. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION. CHILD'S CIIROMATROPE, exhibiting the most extraor ' dinary and beautiful effects, is shown Daily and in- the Evenings.

The following year he was tried and convicted at Stafford, and sent to gaol for one year. For the next three years little or nothing was heard of him ; but in 1838 he was tried at Warwick, where he got three months' imprisonment; and in January, 1839, he was tried at Gloucester, and sentenced to a year's imprisonment. Lastly, he was apprehended at Abingdon in the following, or the year after that, with a woman of the name of Harriet Thompson— whom he had taken to supply the place of his wife, on her being sent to prison for eighteen months; and on the 25th of January he was transported for life, and she (Thompson) was imprisoned for two years. Ann Lockwood, if we recollect aright, was not actually aware of her husband's fate till she saw Mr. Powell in Leicester gaol. At the expiration of her term a subscription was raised to enable the woman Thompson to follow her " husband " to Syd ney, and she arrived there safely. In October last the governor of Abingdon gaol had received a letter from her, stating that " James " (L oc k woo d or Thompson) was regularly employed by the chief builders at Sydney, and at good wages ; while she had also obtained profitable employment. He, it seems, is very clever as a workman in Gothic archi tecture, and at cutting out grotesque heads and other ornaments for churches. PUBLICATIONS. TO AGRICULTURISTS. CHEMISTRY MADE EASY, By J.

Whittaker and Co.; and all Booksellers. GLOBE, 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 proper. tion to it. HEREPATR'S RAILWAY AND COMMER€IAL 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 rhou'd 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 Map with which the book is accompanied, entitled " Modern London and its Environs," is an entirely new one, and one of the best plans of the Metropolis we have yet seen. RAILWAY REGISTER, Dec. 1, 1844. There are few men of business who do not take in the " Post Office Directory," and to such, an enumeration of its contents is almost valueless ; but for those who do not, it may be as well to make some further remarks, and the more so, as it only needs an acquaintance with that work to be convinced of its intrinsic value and great utility. There are some offices where the expenditure for a new Directory is grudged on the ground that it is laying out money for what they do not want, and they grub on without a " 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 instrtnnent for carrying on business. As a means of ready reference it is valuable, as a man's name, residence, and occupation arc 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 es to respectability. This is so well understood in proper quarters, that on such matters the " Post Office Directory" will be found quoted ni the leading articles of the Times, in Government and Parlia. m entary reports, and before the police and criminal courts. Does the Times, with ready sagacity, detect a swindling firm trying to prey on the community—the " Post Office Directory" 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 Directo r y" i s th e b ee t 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.

GUILDFORD AND SOUTH-WESTERN JUNCTION.— The works on this line are so far completed as to be ready for the laying of the rails. It starts from the Woking station of'the South-Western Railway, in a southerly course, is six miles in length, and has been constructed by Mr. Giles, the engineer, and Messrs. Treadwell, the contractors. Originally projected as an independent line, it has now fallen, by purchase for 75,0001., into the hands of the South-Western Company, who propose to make it the trunk to their Guildford, Chichester, and Portsmouth extension, recommended by the Board of Trade. The Guild ford line, amongst other objects, was originally pro jected with a view to its becoming the first experi mental line in this country of the wooden railway system, but the transfer of it to the South-Western, who, on idemnifying the patentee, are to lay down a single line on the iron system, will preclude the carrying out the proposed experiment. The South- Western take possession as soon as the rails are laid, and the works become consolidated. They will have to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session for an Act to confirm the purchase. The distance between Woking and Guildford will be accomplished in a quarter of an hour, and the line, to be worked by the South-Western, is expected to be opened in the be ginning of April. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN.—A memorial to the Board of Trade in favour of this line was sent from Lincoln on Saturday last, containing the signatures:of 400 tradesmen and merchants. There were not more than a dozen parties who refused to give their assent. —Boston Herald. MARYPORT AND CARLISLE.—.This line Ns ill be opened throughout for goods in a:week, and for pas sengers on the Ist of next month. BRANDLING JUNCTION.—There is a rumour that Mr. Hudson, Chairman of the Midland Railway, has arranged to allot a 251. share for each share held in the Newcastle and Darlington Junction, in order to complete the purchase of the Brandling Junction, su that 101. per share will be paid up immediately.— Newcastle Journal.

POST -OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY for for 1945 IS NOW PUBLISHING. The following Reviews of the i 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 honk is a great evil. This is the 49th volume of the series. contains several useful additions to its immediate predecessor, more particularly in that portion called the " Postal Directory," and, as compared with the first volume, published nearly half a century ago, it shows an immense increase of information, and may be considered as an index of the history of 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 populaticn where to find each other, and in what manner to carry on the intercourse by letters, messengers, &c., is amongst the benefits which the progress of printing has conferred of late years, and ought to be appreciated in a way commensurate to itsmerits by the public. It affords a check to imposture, a facility to intercourse, and a guide to useful intelligence. In a word, the cost of this book can scarcely be better laid out than in its purchase. MORNING CHRONICLE, Nov. 15, 1844. We have just received a copy of the above work, the nature and value of which must be well known to all our readers. A very cursory examination of it clearly shows that there has been a considerable increase in all its various contents or departments, and, as far as we have been able to test it, it does not appear that this increase has been made by any sacrifice of accuracy. Besides all the departments which appeared in the former publications of this work, we find that in the present volume there are several new chapters. All these appear to have been prepared with great care, and furnish a valuable addition to the Directory, and this has been done—notwithstanding the greatly.increased size of the volume — without any additional charge; as the proprietors state that they rely upon an increased sale to compensate them for the additional outlay. We believe that this work, at the present time, has no corn. petitor, and certainly, considering the evident care with which it has been prepared, and the high reputation which it so deservedly bears for accuracy, together with irs 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 Fos; Nov. 16, 1844. This work, by far the most valuable of the annual class, has made its appearance at an earlier period of the year than usual. Though in advance of time, the compilers and printers have been so active that all the alterations usually introduced ur expected have been effected. The " Parliamentary" and the " Official Directory" bear evidence that the latest changes have been noted. The large Map of London also, prefixed to the volume, has all the new streets and recent improvements carefully marked; and in the Railway Tables and " Conveyance Directory," the same attention to correct the work to the latest possible date is apparent. Every village, as well as every town in England and Wales, having a post-office is duly stated, with the time of arrival and departure of the London letters. No book of reference of the kind could be more complete. EIALSE'S SCORBUTIC DROPS, a S ure C ure for Bad Legs, Scurvy, &c.—Read the following wonderful account of llalse's Scorbutic Drops. It must convince the most sceptical of the safety and great value of this extraordinary com pound of Herbs. This important letter is sent to Mr. liaise by Mr. W. Matthews, a highly-respectable farmer, of the parish of Brent, Devon :—" Brent, March Ist, 1842. Dear consider it a duty incumbent on me to state to the public the inraluable 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 sufli:ring 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, and 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. " I remain, dear Sir, yours respectftilly, " WILLIAI‘t MATTHEWS." N.B. Be sure to ask for "Halse's Scorbutic Drops." Price 2s. 9d. a bottle, and in pint bottles, containing nearly six 2s. 9d. bottles, for I Is. Were this work more carefully looked to in country places, the swindling bill and other firms would find a little more difficulty in carrying out their nefarious pursuits. In conclusion, we say, When you want anything, always look in the Post Office Directory." ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 03, 1844. Twenty years have made a strange alteration in the bulk of this almost indispensable Directory. Well do we remember the mean, spare volume of other days, with its long lines of large type, and its shabby sheepskin binding; i■ place of which we have here a ponderous large octavo volume, of some 1,900 pages, of two and three columns each, of small type, comprising " inter alia," direc tories, " Official," " St' eet," " 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 with the west—and com prising all the information which the merchant or trader, or any other London resident or visitor, can reasonably expect to find ; and by excellent classification and arrangement, any portion of this information may be found without difficulty. Among other addi. Lions, we perceive some important and interesting statistics of Lon don—as the area in acres, population, and assessment, and a state ment from the Occupations' Abstract of the Census of 1841.

BRIDGE OVER THE SWALTL—It is contemplated, in connection with the North Kent line to Sheerness, to erect a bridge over the Swale.--Maidstone Gazette, RAILWAY COMMUNICATION FOR THE POTTERIES.— An important memorial from the:committee appointed at the public meeting in the Potteries on the 30th December last, has been presented to the Board of Trade, by Mr. Alderman Copeland, M.P. It de scribes the want of railway accommodation in the Potteries, and gives a decided opinion that "the branch " from Basford to Crewe, and " the branch " from Stoke to Stafford, for which the Grand Junc tion and Trent 'Valley Companies have respectively given notice, will not meet the wants or wishes of that populous mining and manufacturing district, and that an extension of the Trent Valley line from Col wieh, along the Valley of the Trent to Stoke, and from thence to Crewe, will alone be satisfactory. The memorialists therefore pray the Board of Trade not to sanction the proposed branches, and to suspend their sanction to the Valley line until 1846, by which time they pledge themselves that a new Company shall be formed to apply to Parliament for an Act to construct a direct line through the Potteries from Rugby to Crewe.—Chester Courant.

Published by the Authors, and may be had at their residence, 19, BERNERS-STREET, OXFORD-STREET. MORNINCI HERALD, Nov. 10, 1844. Tho edition for 1845 of this very useful work has just been issued. The usefulness of the ♦olume, 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, in treble columns, is succeeded by the " Official Directory," which commences with an alphabetical list of persons holding situa tions under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank of England, and the various law, city, and all other public offices, and is followed by the division of the above into their proper departments, where the names of the offices are again given. This portion of the work is very faithfully compiled, and extends over about fifty pages. Next comes a list of the principal thoroughfares of the metropolis, with a direction to the post-office nearest to each thoroughfare. The more bulky portion of the work follows—the " Street Direc tory,'' and extends over nearly 500 pages. The " Commercial and Professional Directory" succeeds, occupying also nearly 500 pages ; then the " Trades Directory," of upwards of 450 pages ; the " Law Directory" of some 70 pages; the " Court Directory" of nearly 100 pages ; a statistical account of the metropolis ; the " City Di.. rectory ;" the " Conveyance Directory" of some 120 pages ; the " Banking Directory" of 140 pages; and the " Assurance Direc tory" of some 40 pages. The typographica lcharacter of the volume is as commendable as the fulness and faithfulness n 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 void thus occasioned, and the result has been the production of the work at this early period. Notwithstanding the rapidity with which it has passed through the press, its general accuracy has been carefully preserved. It is really wonderful how so vast a mass of matter can be compiled so accurately and so well. We have looked 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 summate fidelity.

(From the Leicester Chronicle.) We have mentioned in our Town-hall police re port, for Monday last, the committal of the woman Mulhern, alias Lockwood, on a charge of coining and uttering counterfeit coin ; and we now proceed to give some particulars of her truly eventful history, with which Mr. Powell, the solicitor to the Mint, has obligingly furnished us. The first that is knovn of her is as the wife of a soldier serving under Sir John Moore in Spain, and whom she " followed to the field"—trudging along with the army and its gallant leader through its long and remarkable retreat, till the battle of Corunna. After this she was with the army under " the Duke," in Portugal, and during the whole of the Peninsular war, whether merely as a camp-follower, or with her husband, is not known ; but he is supposed to have been killed in some one of the many engagements that took place, and she to have consoled herself with another, if not many more. In one engagement with the enemy, the sergeant-major of the regiment she follow e d was killed by a shot ; on which ( w hile it is imagined the engagement still continued) she contrived to ge t a t the body, and rifle the dead man's " kit" of its con tents. Among these were his marriage and other certificates, which she carefully concealed and pre served for after use. On returning home she passed herself off as the widow of this sergeant-major, in order to obtain a pension ; and afterwards, on a nurse's place in Chelsea Hospital becoming vacant, she ap plied for and obtained it, also as the sergeant-major's widow ; having all the necessary documents, she was enabled to answer every question, and her identity was never doubted. But, when she had been com fortably located here for some time, the r ea l w id ow came home ! Her application for a pens i on, i ts denial on the ground that the widow was already provided for, and the real widows reiterated assertions that she was the widow, caused an investig a ti on b y t h e l ate Sir Charles Grant. The result was, that Biddy was , se a sentenced to a year's im prisonment. which she was tried turned adrift on the " wide wide wor l d, " and was lost sight of for several years. Her fi rst reappearance was andin the convicted character i n ofaconni edr, tenc e d 1828, a prisonment. In 1834 she was agai n t r i e d ; b ut t hi s time under the name of Lockwood, and in company with her second husband, whose real name, however, was Stafford, and who was a very s kilf u l mason by trade. He was convicted, and she was then ac quitted, as being his wife, and supposed to be acting under his direction. In 1 836 she was con victed at Aylesbury for coining, and she then said she was 55 years of age. She was again tried for the same offence at Warwi c k , i n 1838, b ut ac quitted, owing to insufficiency of e v id ence ; an d i n J u l y of the same year she was again tried, and this time in connexion with a woman named Perceval, the offence being the same. Lockwood (prisoner) got eighteen months' imprisonment, and her companion twelve months. From that time till the present apprehension of Mrs. Mulhern, alias Lockwood, &c., Mr. Powell had almost entirely lost sight of her; sometimes he thought he recognised her business talent in the dif ferent cases forwarded to him, but was not able to follow out the clue. In the answers s h e now gave t o the,questions ,questions contained in the " Descriptive Paper," prisoner had in almost every case given false state ments, not wishing doubtless to re new h er acquaint ance with the Mint solicitor; and when confronted with him, she stoutly denied all previous k now l e d ge of Mr. Powell, till he mentioned one or two "pas sages" in her life, when she said, "Ah ! told you that tale." In 1828, Lockwood (her husba n d) was conv i cte d at the Surrey assizes of coining, &c., and sentenced to one year's imprisonment. In 1833 he was con victed at Warwick, and sentenced tQ six months' im- KINGSTOWN AND BRAY.---011 Saturday the Direct ;ors of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway met as the Provisional Committee for constructing a line from Kingstown to Bray. The capital to be 200,000/. in 4,000 shares of 50/. each ; 2,000 of these shares to be appropriated to the Shareholders of the Kingstown Railway in proportion to their interests, and the re mainder to be placed at the disposal of the committee of distribution. The Dalkey line is to be purchased by the new Company at its cost price, 35,0001. The plans and sections have been lodged in the proper offices of the Board of Trade, and all the necessary notices served. Messrs. Pim and Bergin were ap pointed joint secretaries to the committee. The line is intended to be worked on the atmospheric prin ciple, but so laid out that locomoti ve p ower can he employed.—lrish, Railway Gazette. IRISH GREAT WESTERN.-At a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Boyle, county Roscommon, just held, to consider the best means of obtaining railway communication between Boyle and Dublin, it was resolved on the motion of Captain Duckworth, se conded by Captain Robertson, that the construction of a line from Dublin to Mullingar, with branches to Athlone and Longford, would intersect the country fairly with reference to the western port of Galway, and the north-western port of Sligo; and confer essential benefit on th a t r i c h an d fertile district. On the motion of Dr. 'Wallace, seconded by Mr. J. Bromell, a memorial to the Board of Trade was unanimously adopted, requesting that body to re commend the proposed Great Western line from Dublin to Mullingar, with branches to Athlone and Longford, as best calculated to promote the interests of the central, western, and north-western divisions of Ireland. The memorialists set forth that the pro posed line will be best adapted to benefit the western seaports, of Sligo and Galway, bring Cork with in an equal distance of Dublin, and give facility at a future period for carrying branches to both towns. They regard, they intimate, with jealousy and distrust the operations of a rival Company, styling itself the Great Western Railway, and apparently got up to frustrate the project above-named, but profess ing only to run from Portarlington to Galway, thereby only benefiting a small portion of the West of Ireland, and that the poorest district, and leaving out the richest portion of the centre of Ireland west ward, the mining districts of Leitrim, and the town and port of Sligo. They express themselves per suaded that there is not sufficient traffic to support two lines through the centre of western Ireland, and strenuously recommend the carrying out of the pro posed comprehensive project between Dublin, Mul linger, Athlone, and Longford. At a similar meet ing held at Carrick-on-Shannon, county Leitrim, resolutions expressive of the benefits to be derived from the proposed line, and condemnatory of the Portarlington project, via Ballinasloe to Galway, were unanimously adopted ; together with a memo rial to the Board of Trade, bearing the signatures of the most extensive landed proprietors in Leitrim. The sum proposed to be; expended on railways in Ireland is 8,315,000/. The deposits, however, do not exceed 411,7501. Waterford Mail. CONTINENTAL LINES.

I cuted, the intercourse between Paris and the capital of Lower Normandy will be most direct and antis ! factory. —The Strasburg and Bale Company are at present getting surveys made of the ground between Sarrebruck and Sarrebourg. The intention is to construct a branch line from the former place to the main trunk, in order to bring the produce of its coal mines into Alsace. As these mines at present supply to the manufacturing establishments of the Haut and 1 Bas Rhin, the carriage of this article would tend to materially increase the receipts of the company.— The Courrier de Lyons announces that the Minister of Public Works has definitively adopted the line of the valley of the Oze as the route which the Paris and Lyons line is to take.—The works of the Tours and Nantes line are to commence immediately in the department of the Loire-Inferieure. A credit of 600,000 f. had been already advanced to the head engineer, by the State, and a second one of 800,000 i: has just been given from the budget of 1846. —The Central Railroad Company, although not yet legally authorised, is busy in preparing its stock. Five locomotives for the transport of goods have been ordered from MM. Schneider, Freres, of Creuzot, and a similar number for passengers, from MM. J. J. Meyer, of Mulhausen. It is the last-named engine makers who have received orders from the Govern ments of Baden and Bavaria, and also, it is said, from Austria.—A meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of Cherbourg was held a few days back, for the pur pose of considering what line would prove most advis able for a railroad communication between Cherbourg and Paris. Some persons having recommended Alen eon as the b es t i n t erme di ate town (with a branch to the' Rennes line), and others Caen (to join the Rouets— line), the meeting eventually declared in favour of the latter. The line by Alencon was rejected because it increased the distance considerably, and, conse quently, would be more expensive in carriage of goods and passengers; and because the traffic with Rouen was far greater than with Alencon. The vicinity of Alencon to the coal districts of the Loire did not seem to the meeting of sufficient weight to counter balance the other points in favour of the more direct ' line, and resolutions were accordingly passed in favour of the line by Caen and Rouen. —The Direc tors of the Marseilles and Avignon Railroad Com pany have sent in to the Minister of Public Works a tender for the execution and working of the line from Avignon to Lyons. The capital of the intended Company is provisionally fixed at eighty millions of francs, divided into 160,000 of 500 f. each. The Di rectors of the Marseilles and Avignon line being of opinion that, from the advantageous influence which both the lines ought reciprocally to exercise on each other, it will be useful to concentrate the two Com panies as much as possible, have decided that the above capital shall be distributed at the rate of two shares for one to the subscribers of the Marseilles and Avignon Company of August 8, 1843, and two shares for one to the present Shareholders of the said Com pany. Such persons as still hold the original shares may increase their rights, and will have the faculty of receiving four shares for one. Each subscriber is to pay in the twentieth part of his subscription. DIEPPE AND PARlS.—Three, different surveys for lines have been made by this Company, viz.—the mountain, the tunnel, and the valley lines. The longest is 43 miles; the shortest 36.

The Austrian Government has resolved to extend the Great Northern line to Bochnia. It is said that the Prussian Government has resolved to impose a tax on the gross receipts of the various lines, and to look upon time bargains in foreign shares as upon dealings in Spanish bonds, i. e., as illegal.

(Copy.) 3, Moorgate-street, London, Jan. 21, 1845. Sir,—The City of London Mercantile Committee on Postage have great satisfaction in forwarding to you a copy of resolutions passed by them in March last, accompanied by a cheque for 10,0001., part of the amount raised in carrying out the object therein re ferred to. The Committee reserve, till a future opportunity, the pleasure of making a more public presentation of the fruits of their labours, as in many parts of the kingdom the efforts of their friends are yet incom plete, and as they hope to add considerably to the amount already subscribed by continuing their exer tions.—l am, Sir, your obedienttervant, GEORGE LARPENT, Chairman. Rowland Hill, Esq. At a meeting of " the City of London Mercantile Committee on Postage," held at the Jerusalem Coffee-house, Cornhill, on Tuesday, March 12, 1844, Sir George Larpent, Bart., in the chair, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted : " 1. That this Committee, observing a general feeling to exist that the important services rendered by Mr. Rowland Hill are deserving of remuneration, do take the necessary measures to accomplish that object. " 2. That a public subscription be raised for Mr. Rowland Hill, the author of the Penny Postage,' as a testimonial to his ingenuity and perseverance in having devised a scheme of legislation upon this im portant subject, which is so well calculated to give increased facilities to our internal trade, and to pro duce so many beneficial results to the general inter course of society. (Signed) " G. LARPENT, Chairman and Treasurer." (Copy) London, Jan. 21, 1845. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re ceipt of your letter of this day's date, enclosing a copy of resolutions passed by the City of London Mercantile Committee on Postage in March last, together with a cheque for 10,C00/. As the Committee intimate their intention at some future period of making a public presentation of the fruits of their labours, I would respectfully request permission to defer till such time all attempt to ex press my obligations to themselves (my fellow labourers in the cause of Post-office improvement), and the feelings of pride and gratitude with which I accept so splendid a proof of the sympathy and appro- Lation of my countrymen.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, Sir G. Larpent, Bart., &c. ROWLAND HILL. ELEVATED SEA BEACI AT WAILDIE.—The ope rations of opening the ground for the Granton Railway, has exposed an interesting section of alluvial soil at Wardle. After a surface of sandy loam, mixed with some peaty substances, from the decay of vegetable remains, there is exposed, at the depth of two or three feet, a bed of sea sand, on the surface of which lie pebbles and sea shells, indicating in the most distinct manner the remains of a sea beach. The shells are smooth and water-worn, and are principally specimens of the univalves, which exist at present on the neighbouring shores. This deposit is elevated about ten or twelve feet, as far as may be hurriedly guessed, above the level of high-water tides—no great elevation when considered geologically, but still not the less interesting. It is ascertained with some degree of accuracy, that the land in the neighbourhood of the Baltic is rising. The level of the west coast of South America is also supposed to have changed considerably, for at certain distances from the sea there are found terraces, containing shells, and other marine deposits. At Wardle, the sea at pre sent has rather a tendency to encroach, and very likely did so to a considerable extent before the present bulwark was erected.

At Queen-square Police-cow' Milton, a well-dressed man, plexion, about: - up for re-examination, charged with _obtaining 304 under fal se pretence. The following is a brief outline of the circumstances which are of a very complicated character :—On the 20th of Dece m b er M r . J o h n Ki n k ea d e, a retired wealthy tradesman, residing at 20, Rue Royal, Calais, met William Milt on (th e b rot h er o f the,prisoner) and a person who represented himself to be Sir Ed ward Barry, at the Hotel de Commerce, when, in the course of conversation, Milton stated that Sir Edward's brougham and six horses were coming over from England to go to his establishment at Brussels. On. the three following days he met the parties on the pier, when they pretended that they were anxiously waiting for the arrival of the carriage and horses. Sir Edward expressed great dissatisfaction at the conduct of his servant at Dover, and it was proposed that Milton should go over, ascertain the cause of the delay, and bring back the horses and carriage with him. It was then inti mated to Mr. Kinkeade that Sir Edward expected re mittances in the course of a few days, but was un fortunately at the moment without cash, and Mr. Kinkeade lent Sir Edward 1/. to pay Milton's' ex penses, and 4/. to discharge the bill at the hotel where lie had been staying. Milton went to Dover, and after th ree d ays returned with two homes, and said he expected the rest by the next boat. In a day or. two afterward s M r . Ki nkeade lent 11/. more, and 11111 ton again came to England. Various excuses were then sent by him to account for the remainder of the horses not being shipped as had been directed. One day the delay was answered by the fog—the next day the black horse was sick, and had been bled, and lastly, Milton's brother had a fever, !or the small pox, and he had to go to him in London. ,In the meantime Sir Edward, as he styled himself, bor rowed several sums of money, amoupting In all to 401., and, it having been arranged that they should go to England, the two horses were removed to Meurice's stables, as security for the money Mr. Kinkeade had advanced. After going to se veral places in quest of Milton they proceeded to Sittingbourne, where the prisoner was. introduced as Milton's brother. On tha following day they-went to Chatham, where some horses and a gig were shown as Sir Edward's, and Mr. Kinkeade having lent other moneys, an agreement was drawn up by which it ap peared that Mr. Kinkeade was to have possession of the horses as security for the money he had advanced, and that Sir Edward gave him a promissory note for 1001, but that the latter was to be considered as col lateral security only. Sir Edward was to take the gig and horse, and Milton the two horses, to Worthing ton's, at Dover, and it was arranged that Mr. Kin keade and prisoner were to proceed to London for brougham and three other horses of Sir Edward's , . They went to the Black Horse, in Coventry-street, where prosecutor gave the prisoner a sovereign, and on the next morning they repaired to the stables in. Caroline-street, Coleshill-street, Pimlico, where pri soner showed Mr. Kinkeade three valuable horses which he represented to be Sir Edward Barry's, and also a brougham. They went to a house opposite, where prisoner introduced prosecutor to a lady whom he described as his sister, and invited him to take a glass of wine. Prisoner then asked the prose cutor for 301., which he refused to give until the horses were sent to the railway station. Prisoner then said, " I may as well be candid with you ; can't remove them until the rent is paid," at the same time pointing out of the window to a man, and ob serving, " There is the keeper." Prisoner asked pro secutor what he was afraid of, as Sir Edward was a gentleman of fine property—when prosecutor gav e i him two 101. n o t es , an d as k e d hi m f that would do. Prisoner then ; taking a gold watch from his pocket, said he could pledge it, upon which prosecutor ob served that he need not do that ; and in order to pay him the Dl., to make up the 301., got change of a 100/. note at the Bank, and gave him the amount re quired. Prisoner asked prosecutor whether he should sec him on the following morning, as the horses would go at a very early hour; and it was ar ranged that they should meet on the following morning, at the Black Horse, which they did, t hen prisoner said he was waiting for sonic other 'horses, and they could all be taken together. Prosecutor said that he had made an appointment with Sir Ed ward at Dover, and he should go there at once, and prisoner might sen d th e h orses an d carriages after him. Prosecutor left town, but did not find the horses at Worthington's, nor Sir Edward, of whom he went in quest to Calais, and found that the horses had been taken away from Meurice's. Mr. Kin keade then went to Boulogne, and found that Sir Edward had gone with the horses to Folkestone, whither he followed in a fishing-boat, after being driven into Dover. He found one horse at the Pavilion. Ile then went to Canterbury, where a person named Beaumont said, that two of the horses belonged to him. Prosecutor was subse quently taken to Sir Edward, at a low public house, where Sir Edward said he had his bill, and that it would be paid. Some of the above circumstances were proved against the prisoner, to justify his detention, but we have found it neces sary to travel out of the evidence in:order to render the account at.,all intelligible to the reader. It was further shown that the distress in the stables in Caroline-street amounted to 71. only. On the prisoner being placed iu the felon's dock, Mr. Steele, who attended for the prosecution, stated that a true bill having been found on Tuesday in the Court of Queen's Bench, by the grand jury for Mid dlesex, against the parties for conspiracy and fraud, on which a judge's warrant had been obtained, he would not trouble the Magistrate by offering any further evidence. V Prisoner was then discharged by the Magistrate, and immediately apprehended on the judge's warrant by Panting, an officer of the Court, in order to be taken before one of the judges. COLLISION WITH AN OMNIBUS.--Yesterday afternoon, as an omnibus was coming down the Surrey side of Westminster-bridge, a person was observed driving at a furious rate, and evidently intending to make a passage between the omnibus and footpath—an intention which immediately became obvious to a young lady could not be effected without great danger, and she exclaimed, " Stop ! for God's sake, stop !" but without inducing him to pay any attention ; and in another moment he had forced his way, and the wheel of the phaeton going over a stone, ho was precipitated on to the ground. Most providentially a man who was passing seized hold of the reins and stopped the horse, while the young lady threw herself into the carriage -road and dragged the unfortunate sufferer from the ground. By this time a crowd of persons had assembled, and the gentleman was lifted into the phaeton, though suffering so severely from his fall as to require assistance in pur suing his journey. The conductor of the omnibus (to whom no blame whatever can be attached) was most active in rendering assistance. It is to be hoped that the narrow escape of this gentleman from a dreadful death will be a warnincy to others against driving with such reckless disregard of their own safety or that of others. OUR ALLEGIANCE.-A good deal of conversation. has arisen on the subject of our removal within the City, and it is asked in several quarters whether we shall pay our allegiance to Gibbs. We beg to say, once for all, that we respect the City sovereignty, and to him who is, de flick), the Cockney King, we are prepared to render the homage that i s d uo t o him. We feel that we owo Gibbs something, and we trust we know how to Fay him off. —Punch. 13.0CIIESTER, JAN. 20.—Tins CASE or SHOOTING AT CHALK.—The county magistrates were engaged for some time this day in taking the depositions of the several witnesses in the case of the boy White, who was shot on Christmas-day in a field at Chalk, and for which offence George Blake, aged 12, and Charles Rand, ag e d 14, have been held in custody. From the evidence of Dr. Brown, who attends the boy White, it appears that there were twenty-three wounds in the head, besides others in the neck, arm, and side. He still considered his patient in a very doubtful state. From the evidence of the witnesses, it appears that there was a quarrel be tween the parties respecting rabbit-shooting; that White kicked Blake in the groin, on which the latter said, e D__.. o y o ur eyes, I'll shoot you." Rand first took tle gun and pointed it at White, but immediately said, " Shan't shoot him ; you shoot him." Blake then took U 4 gun and pointed it at White, who ran away, when Blial instantly fired, hitting him as above described. r 4 prisoners wept bitterly during the examination, and w- 1 fully committed to take their trial at the next assiz ( Maidstone. , .

This work has 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.oflice, with the list of the towns and the respective figures prefixed, which shows at once the place where the letter is posted, and thereby remedies a very common defect—the illegibility of the country post-office mark of the town. Besides these, there are several other improvements which contribute materially to the convenience of consulting a work so multifarious, and which contains not fewer than 1,980 pages of close, but very distinct, letterpress. This Directory is, perhaps, the most complete manual of the kind ever published. WEEKLY DISPATCH, Nov. 17, 1844. The" Post Office London Directory," which is published by the Messrs. Kelly, of Old Boswell.court, is now before us. This edi. tioo for 1845, contains a vast increase of useful matter when com pared with former ones. One important department now added, is that which gives an official return of the amount of the circula tion of notes by all private and joint-stock banks. Another divi sion of the work affords 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 a living million, a vast storehouse of facts, a library of commer cial instruction, what for the year the Times newspaper is for the day —a publication that no other city of the world could or can produce. There is no item of information which can by possibility be supposed to be contained in a " London Directory" that is not to be found in this. The work is perfect and complete of its kind, and as such we recommend it to the notice of the commercial world, though, indeed, by this time its merits are so well known that it needs little recommendation of ours. SPECTATOR, Nov. 16, 1844. Although this immense volume is now, we believe, literally un rivalled, the absence of a competitor does not seem to have relaxed exertion or to have stopped extension. On the contrary, the book has grown with the growth of London, and we have the most com. plete exhibition of a great city that perhaps ever was made; in its three grand phases of " Street Directory,•' where you are ignorant of the name but know it when you see it—" Commercial," " Law," or " Official Directory," where, street unknown and name not re. membered, you may hunt out a man by his vocation —or in the re gular alphabetical list of persons it gives at a reference to an indi vidual whose name is present. " Court," " Parliamentary," " Banking," " Conveyance," " Assurance," " Postal," and other Directories for the distinct grades of society or important branches in the business of life, render the exhibition still more complete. A wonderful work is the " Post Office London Directory ;" and, so far as we have taken steps to test it. wonderfully correct. JOHN BULL, Nov. 93, 1844.
