The volume before us contains no less than pages, being an increase, since 1844, of 233 pages ; and, uotwit. standing the increased size, the price remains the same, viz., 30s. The present volume brings down to the latest date all infer- , mation respecting 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 accuracy and general utility is an in dispensable requisite in the counting-house and shop of every trader, and in the offize of every .professional man. As in the previous volumes, the contents are carefully arranged under the bellowing heads .—" The Official," " the Street," "the Commercial," " the Trades," " tho 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, DECEMBER 14, 1849. The perseverance and enterprise of Messrs. Kelly and Co. have again been manifested in tke 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 concern'. 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 whieh 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 riox 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 Goyernment Officials, Streets, Merchants and Tradespeople, Trades, Lawyers, Placemen, Peers and Members of Parliament, Post-office and 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 within 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 ISublie 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 flfty-first - annual publication of this most useful commercial work is now before us., The praise we accorded to former editions may be imported into this notice without the slightest fear of being charged with exaggeration. Everything connected with the volume is marked with unflagging 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 'Bankng Directory ;" The " Official Directory" contains an alphabetical list of persons h lding 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 Profess'onal 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. " fhe 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 nattne of those offlzes ; 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 ➢lembers 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 relailve to the rates of postage, the limitation of weight of letters, and their size, &AL; 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-misters, market-collectors, a list of sworn brokers, a complete list of London and provincial newspapers, town and country newspaper agents, &c. 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, ♦ans, carts, ♦esseis, 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 pronounce 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 fifty-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 in it which such a book ought to give, or which dwellers In this great city are likely to require. Its " Official Di rectory" gives the name of every pubic employe, and all nredful 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 thousmd various business-occupations with which London is so grievously overstocked. The "Wart 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 this 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, com prising 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, and alley, indicating every turning, and describing the character of every house, and the name and calling of its inhabitant. Further yet, 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 he a butcher, baker, or candlestick maker, may be picked oat, 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, whi e 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 issued, 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, reflecting great credit on the press of the 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 public convenience. The volume expands with the metropolis itself, and notes every change with the fldell'y of truth itself. Every person who has had occasion to consult it must bear testimony to its judicious arrangement and its inestimable usefulness for all the var ed aims of London busi ness; and to the great saving °Mete it effects for all purposes of re ference. In a word, it is the largest collection of facts in the world, and the most complete exposition of the life and industry of the me tropolis that could possibly be desired. friars-road is some three-quarters •f a mile long; you Imvp to go to a particular home, but you know not whereabouts the number is— whether at the Bridge or the Obelisk end, of any intermediate po nt. - You turn to • he " Street Directory," and find that No. 197 is next door to 'Atirrey Chapel, celebrated of yore as Rowland Hill's. Even if you have no local knowledge, a simple divisi,n of the nUmbeis will tell you whaher the house you seek is towards the aids or middle of the street. And this is only one incidental 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 ufe:ul in its w. , y than the " Post-office London Directory." We have but to draw sten 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 lab sir and energy which must have been expende4 before such mu - aerials could have - been got • such a systematic Nun as that at one glance we can be made int.

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 title 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 wo look at its stupendous sppearance we are proud to encourage the undertaking upon national grounds. BELL'S WEEKLY MESSENGER, DICEMBEit 22, 1849. No book in existence conveys such a vivid and impressive idea of the magnitude, wealth, and almost infinite occup Montt of the dwellers in the metropolis of the world, as the volume now before us. and which has establishe i 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 to form anything like a correct idea of its value, or of the labour which must have been spent in its compf ation. Certainly no merchant or tradesman. no public or private company, ought to be without a copy. Under its twelve separate Directories, London and its professions and trades are so fully and accurately classified, that nothing legitimately belonging to either of these heads will be looked for in vain.

A gem or two of pure Irish water flash with undimmed brilliancy here and there. The heroines are women, with heart and soul in them. [lonor O'Flaherty, a beautiful mad cap, revelling in the enjoyment of fun, and industriously hoaxing all she can, which she carries to an extent considered by some unfeminine, is a character drawn with great graphic skill. Grace O'Neill is a noble and lofty conception, and worthy in every way of the happiness which finally awaits her. Not the least entertaining character in the novel is Lieutenant Hunter."— Weekly Dispatch. ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY.---On Tuesday evening about a quarter-past six o'clock, two men in a light spring cart were observed to drive up alongside a wag gon on the dark or south side of St. Paul's Churchyard, and take a bale of goods out and place it in their own, conveyance A cabman, who saw the transaction, jumped off his driving box and seized the horse's head, when both the men instantly leaped out of the cart. The cabman courageously collared one of them, but while in conflict with him his horse and cab ran off, and he let the man go t r stop and secure his own property. Both the men then made off, !caving the horse and cart also proceeding along at a rapid pace, until st ,pped by po lice-constable 363, who, although near the spot, was un able to arrive in time to secure either of the men. The horse and cart with the bale of goods were taken to the Fleet-sires t station, and on opening the latter it was found to contain 500 rain of soldiers trousers,* the pro perty of Messrs. Hibbett and Co., the army clothiers in Pall-mall, which were identified by the carman, who said they were stolen while he was driving his waggon along the dark side of St. Paul's Churchyard. The horse is about 14 hands high, with a white star on the forehead and a sore fetlock. The cart is a light spring one, painted green and picked out with white. The horse, cart, and hale were detained, and every inquiry is now being in stituted.

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, so 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 so 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 [Sr. 011ivant settled in their secs ; and in the "Parliamentary Directory," Colonel Chattetion, the new Member for Cork, duly registered. CHURCH OF ENGLAND 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 Ilrst 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 leave 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 carts of information desirable to the merchant and the tralesman ; while the Post-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.' CIJURCII 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 occ.ipattoll is gone. In the pages before us there is no flattery—as little of foolish argument—and nothing but truth. Nothing but truth !—and yet it is 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, and the City. In short it is a book that everybody, at some time er 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, NOVEnnnnt 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 fir the purpose of discovering the domicils or bushes s o a Person of whom the inquirer has but slender trace, or for to f tir j the apparent respectability of a man by tracing his whereabo t lerseveral years, or for going direct to your point in a neighbourhood or street to which you are a stranger, this book and its • bacrk volume 3 are unrivalled. For example, Black- ERA, NovzarsEit 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 oial," the " Trades," the "Law,"•the "Court," the "Parliamett tary," the " Postal," the "City," the "Conveyance," the "Banking , " and the " Assurance Directories," &c., &c., in reference to all of whiCh it gives what thousands, particularly those in business, will desire to know. The 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 referenoe 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. It must be borne iu mind, however, that this extraordinary Directory does not confine itself to people's whereabouts, nor what companies dor or profess to do. We have all that is official set forth, and a book of reference for all occasions cm nected with the business of life. The public now find this took in dispensable to the various commercial and social purpose.; to which it is devoted. . MINING JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 24, 1349. This useful and, to a commercial man, necessary publication, &5 again made its annual appearance, with still greater accuracy and eclat, if possible, than its more immediate predecessors. 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 totally 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 has the recommendation of affording him the most useful and accurate summary to be obtained of the "modern Babylon." LITERARY GAZETTE, DECEMBER 1, 1849. Talking of Annuals, this is the real and veritable Triton of the Minnows—the genuine useful Repository, the unquestionable Pro phetic Almanack, that will guide to thousands of unknown events. Of its bulky and most intelligent predecessor 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), nor our wonder at the mass of minute information thus collected into one grand volume—a very mountain of distinct par ticles ! 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 years. In this raost unique of publications be may ace it at a glance Year after year the volume continues en larging, till the once modest tome bids fair to become the most portly octavo ever sent out from the press. 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 nondon is much more than a mere mercantile convenience. As a statistical account, It has the highest value, forming', In many re.peets. one of the most extraordinary books in the world. lIERAPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 24, 1849. The " Post-ollice London Directory" for 1850 is out. It occupies a space on one's book-shelf as large as tw•o 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 N 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 Directory ;" so that the Messrs. Kelly appear determined to distance all attempts at competition and undermining, whether from a host of little competitors to parts of the work—constantly appearing and as periodically dying off -or from 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-ofiace Di ectory" has 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 exertir ns they evidently bestow in the pro duction 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.

Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of ago, you will remember the thousands 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 Grinistone's Eye Snuff ! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Ileadach, 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 the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Esq., to Mr. William Grimstoue, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on 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 be stamped.

BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE. LONDON. - - Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Sec. 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 ap,dying 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 br assistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LPMERT has taken the hig medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of hest his practice for many years is a guarantee for hie professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.
