The claims to public patronage of this most elaborate and well.. arranged Directory have been so fully established, as to render any notice of it almost an act of supererogation. In addition to the extensive and varied information by which this work was already distinguished, we.find in the volume for 1845, a considerable quan. tity of new and appropriate matter, arranged under various heads. All this has been done—notwithstanding the greatly increased size of the volume—without any additional charge. The yearly outlay of capital required to produce the work must be immense ; the reward of the enterprise and labour will, we trust, be in propor. Lion to it.

As far as utility is concerned no volume can exceed the claims of the Directory to universal patronage. Though it is of greet bulk, it contains nothing that is superfluous, and lien exception to the general rule, that a great book is a great evil. This is the 49th volume of the series. It 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 corn. preheasive as to direct the whole population where to find each other, and in what manner to carry on the intercourse by letters, messengers, Jkc., is amongst the beneLts which the progress of printing has conferred of late years, and ought to be appreciated in a way commensurate to its merits by the public, It affords a check to imposture, a facility to intercourse, and a guide to useful intelligence. In a word, the cost of this beok can scarcely be better /aid 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 clenly shows that there has been a considerable increase in all its various contents or departments, and, as far as we h ave been a b le to test it, it does not appear that this increase has been made by any sacrifice of accuracy, Besides all the de partments which appeared in the former publications of this work, w e find that in the present volume there are several new chapters. All these app ear to have been prepared with great care, and furnish a valuable addition to the Directory, and this has been done—notwith standing the greatly.increased:size of the volume— without any addi t i onal charge; as the propriet ors state that they rely rely upon an i ncreased sale to compensate them for the addit ional outlay. We believe that this work, at the present time, has no eons. petitor, and certainly, considering the evident care with which it has been prepared, and the high reputation which it so deservedly bears for accuracy, together with its cheapness, we do not think that a competitor would have any chance of success, or—contrary to the general rule—that the public would derive the slightest ed. vantage from any such competition. MORNING POST, 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 bees so active that all the alterations usually introduced or 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 `'loge, as well as every town in England and Wales, having e v,. • „ n -is duly stated, with the time of arrival and departure of post.ornci•No book of reference of the kind could be the London lotto more complete. m ogN ixa Himun, Nov. 19, 1644. The edition for 1845 of this very useful work has just been issued. The usefulness of the yulume, as well as the immense labour that must have been expended In F9Mfrieting it, will be best judged of from a brief enumeration of its eenteritOr The first portion of the work comprises a list of the hotels and corieenignt inns throughout England and Wales, with the names of the ooeu. pants and the population according to the census of 1841. This, which extends over seventeen pages of small but clear type, is treble columns, is succeeded by the " Offici*l Directory," which commences with an alphabetical list of peruses holding situa tions under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank of gnilana, and the varloMs 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 ;se again given. This portion of the work is very faithfully compiled, and extends over about fifty pages. .Next comes a list of the principal thoroiahfaref of the metropolis, with a direction to the post-office nearest to mil thorepghfere, The more bulky portion of the work follows—the " /Area Direc tory," and extends over nearly 500 pages. The " Commercial and Professional Directory" siteaseelS, occupying also nearly hOO pages then the " Trades Directory," of epwards 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 129 pages i the " Banking Directory" of 140 pages; and the " Assurance Dirge_ tory" of some 40 pages. The typographies lcharacter of the volume is as commendable Ai the fulness and faithfulness r. Abe work itself. MORNING ADVERTISER, Nov. 15, 1844. This work, which has now stood the test of public opinion for nearly half a century, h.s just appeared. The edition for the pre. sent year having bees 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. Notwithstaeding the rapidity with which it has passed through the press, its general iseellTace has been carefully preserved. It is really wonderful how so vast a mess 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. SUN, Nov. 14, 1844. This work has now reached its forty-sixth annual publication, and latterly it has bean brought out on such a comprehensive, cor. rect, and extensive system, that it has driven all competitors from the field. The " Postal Directory," which has been compiled with great care, furnishes complete instruction as to the dispatch of letters and newspapers to all parts of the world; and the list of the princi. pal places in England and Wales has been greatly enlarged. There is also a useful notice respecting the obliterating stamps used at the post.office, with the list of the towns and the r espective 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 improvement.] which contribute materially to the convenience of consulting a work me multifarious, and which contains not fewer than 1,980 pages of close, but very distinct, letter-press. This Directory is, perhaps, the most complete manual of the kind ever published. WIZEILLY DISPATCH, Nov. 17, 1844. The" Post Office London Directory," which is published by the Aleut's. Kelly, of Old Boswell-court, is now before us. This edi tion for 1,45, contains a vast increase of useful matter when corn. pared with former ones. One important department now aided, is that which gives an official return of the amount of the cireul4- tion of notes by all private and joint-stock banks. Another divi. sion of the work aftbrds the most minute description of the extent and population of London. The sire of the volume is greatly in. creased, and it is new decidedly the best, most comprehensive, and most useful work of the kind ever issued from the press. naIITANNIA, 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 pet 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 " Lon.lon Directory" that is not to be found in this. The work is perfectand 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, 16 44, Although this immense volume is now, we believe, literally un. rivalled, the absence of a competitor does not seem to have relimea exertion or to have stopped extension. On the contrarY, the b oo k has grown with the growth of London, £44 we have the most corn. plete exhibition of a great city that per ha p s ever wgs made; in it, three grand phases of " str e e t Director y ,' where you are ignorant of the name but know it whet - . you see it—" Commercial," " Liv.,;,to or " Official Directory," where, street unknown and name not re membered, you may hunt out a loan by his voeatinn—or in the re gular alphabetical list of persons it gives at a reference to V/ indi vidual whose name is present, " Court," " Parliamentary,r, Assuan/se," Postal," and oth er " Banking," " Conveyance," `! Directories for the distinct grades of society or important branches in the business of life, render the exhibition still more cor r ipiete. A wonderful work is the " Post Oillca London Directory ;!. and, so far as we have taken steps to test it, wonde rf n ll Y correct. JOHN BuLL, Nov. 23, 1844. This " monster volume" is really a curiosity in its way. WhPi) we turn over its two thousand closely-printed pages, and reflect upon the enormous tnats of information which those pages contain —information prepared witha degree of accuracy which je clPite marvellous, together with its complete and coniiirehopsive chavacelir 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.* commercial book of reference has been produced worthy of the commercial capital of the world. The high character of the Post Office Directory has given it a place in every house of real business ; indeed, not to possess it is to be without information to which every man in the United Kingdom commercially employed should have ready access. In the " Conveyance Directory" the matter connected with Railways is full and recent. Within our space enumeration of the various subjects' cannot be attempted, nor can such be requisite. It can be only necessary of a work so universally known to say, that the number of the Post Office London Directory for 1845 is by far the best and most complete edition of the work which has ever been produced. Higher praise it would be difficult to bestow. The 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, 1944. 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, arid 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 Dirtctory," for it not merely saves more than its cost in time, but it is a valuable instrument for carrying on business. As a means of ready reference it is valuable, as a mans name, residence, and occupation are -ours !bond, and ft re. ference to an old Directory will, show how long he has been en. gaged in such pursuits", and furnish prima -facial evidence as to respectability. This is so w ell understood in proper quarters, that on such matters the " Post Office Directory" will be found quoted in the leading articles of the Times, in Government and Parlia military reports, and before the police and criminal courts. Does the Times, with ready sagacity, detect a swilfdliiig firm trying to prey on the community—the " Post Office Directory" is immediately appealed to, to chow that the pseudo Erns7 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 is the corn. mercid community, if it were not well ascertained that its con ductors display , the Ireateit energy and accuracy i n car rying oot their undertaking. The return of the circulation of country banks pTetixeci to the "Ranking Directory" is the beat which has yet appeared, and the only digest of the Population Returns, applying to the metropolis, is the one in the "City Di. reetory," which gives the population and income-tax of each parish in the tnetropolis,ind a laborious"analysis of the occupations of the population, deduced from the Census of 1941, 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 .lost Office Direatary,lt ILLUSTRATED LONDoN NEWS, Nov. 23, 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; in place of which we hare here a ponderous large octavo volume, of some 1,900 pages, of two ■nd three columns each, of small type, comprising " inter alia," direr_ tories, "Official," "Stieet," " Commercial," " Law." "Court,' pArliaroontary," "Postal," "City," " Conveyance," " Bank Ing"—thus combining ,the advantages of the old " Directory" with .hose of the " Court Guide"—the east with the west—and corn, 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. inns, we perogiveilome 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. The --- " Directory" Is, in fine, as completo as untiring industry and vi. gilance can make it; for they have uniformly kept pace with the increase of the number and extent of our metropolitan and national establishments and interests.

THE IRON TRADE. The iron trade of South Staffordshire is, we are happy to say, in a most prosperous condition at the present time, the demand for all descriptions of iron being unusually great, and the stocks which have been held on speculation being nearly all absorbed by the anticipated demand for the new lines of railway. Although the Board of Trade seem determined to weed the different projects with an unsparing hand, yet the extent to which they will be sanctioned by the Legislature, justifies the opinion generally enter tained by the most extensive ironmasters, that a great increase will bo oalled for t o supp l y t hi s demand. In anticipation of suoh a state of things, several large works, which have been for a long time standing still, are gradually getting into operation throughout the district, and we are happy to say that the work men 4ve likely to partake in the prosperity of the trade by the advance of their wages. On the whole, without being led away by expectations which might seem to be fully borne out by the present aspect of things, we think we may sasbly congratulate those immediately engaged in, and dependent on, this important branch of our national industry, on the prownt pf §tOticly imorevement which the opening of the new year presents. Indeed, so brisk has every department of the trade become throughout the South Staffordshire district, that the masters have, within the last few days, advanced their prices IQs. per ton, thus raising the value of iron to the sanie standard as before the recent fall. The Welsh trade has also par taken of a similar improvement, and is considerably advanced. In connection with the prosperity of the staplp tong :More of thp district:, our readers will be glad to leawit that tha Americao trace is also brisk, although the same activity does riot exist that pre vailed a few months back.

COUNTY WITHOUT A FIRE ENGINE, DOWELLEY.--A fire broke out on Friday, the 2Vth ult., at Dolgun Hall, near this torn; and we regret to state that this splendid mansion has been totally destroyed. The fire was discovered at about half. pad one o'clock in the afternoon ' • but it evidently had been burning for some time. Information was immediately dispatched to this town, when the fire bell was rung, and the town-crier went his rounds. All the tradesmen, and others having men in their employ, readily sent assistanoe to the spot ; and, on arrival at the scene of destruction, they set about to save the furniture, and with such right good will did they work, that the whole of the building where the fire did not rage wai cleared of everything moveable. Mr. Lewis, the proprietor, has not been in the county for a twelvemonth, owing to ill health. The house had been built eighteen years ago, at an expense of about 10,QQQ1., and was most magnificently furnished, whether there was a b n u y t i i t n s h n iss r a n n o n t e yet eff e b c e t e e n d have, on several occa sions, adverted to the circumstance of there being no fire-engine at Dolgelley, or in the county of Merlo ssary a thingw nowill i neth !! and we trust that, after this o th er sacr ifi ce , something ene ndonepreservation of providing so life and pro perty.

MR. HOOD' S PeNstoN.—Mr. Hood's pension was, we understand, granted in the most kind and hand some manner by Sir Robert Peel. The amount is 1004 a year, and it is for the life of Mrs. Hood ; that of the author being, from ill health, unfortunately (in all human probability) of a more precarious tenure. When we think that such poems as his " Eugene Aram," " Old Oak T ree ," " S ong o f a Shi rt, " and many others of great poWer and pathos, not to mention his comic originalities, will be read with delight two hundred years hence, perhaps by the royal descendants of our Queen and the noble descendants of our Premier, six or eight generations removed, we could have hoped that the one hundred pounds might have been two. But the pension list, we fancy, requires tender handling to make it hold out enough, where much deserved and much wanted. Let us, therefore, be thankful for this instalment.— Literary Gazette. THE REGISTRATIONS.--The progress of the regis tration movement has more than equalled our anticipa tions. During the past week our general and local committees have been kept in full employment providing qualifications for those who are anxious to obtain the franchise, and we have little doubt thas at the next re gistration for the county of Middlesex the free-traders will place a working and winning majority on the register. We strongly recommend the formation of committees in all other counties connected with manufactures, or having, large towns sufficient to countervail the landlord domi nation, so as to hare everything ready for work as soon as possible; and in the mean time we recommend everyindivid ua l free-trader who can obtain a qualification tc do so, and not to be deterred by finding that the mono polist , appear to be supreme at present in the district where such qualification is situated.—The League. TURN-OUT OP POWER-LOOM IVEA VERS.—On Monday, the 16th ult., about 250 weavers in the employ of Messrs. Simpson, Thompson, and Co., of Crurnpsall Mill, turned out for an advance of wages. A fow days previous to their d o i ng so, a d eputation from the weavers waited upon the firm, and demanded an advance of about 10 per cent. on their wages, when they were informed by their emplsyers that they would allow them to select the six beat houses in Manchester and Salford ; and,i it was found that the average wages paid by these firm• exceeded their own, they would regulate their list at cordingly. This offer, however, was declined by th weavers, wlio left their employment. The works wet re-opened on Thursday last, in order to give those hant who were willing to resume work upon the terms offere: an opportunity of doing so ; but many of the weave: still remain out. —Manchester Guardia; THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE.—On Saturday the following Post-office order was placed in the hands of the several postmen, by direction of the Postmaster-General, having also been issued to all postmasters, sub post masters, and letter receivers :—" General Post-office, December, 1844, No. 37.—0 n and after the Ist January next, should any letter or packet be tendered at your office, which you may ascertain to contain, or which you have every reason to believe, contains any of the follow ing articles, via., any glass or glass bottle, any razor, scissors, knife, fork, or other sharp instrument ; any leeches, game, fish, flesh, fruit, vegetables, or other perishable substance ; any bladder or other vessel con taining liquid ; or any article, matter, or thing what soever which might, by pressure or otherwise, be ren dered injurious either to the officers of the Post-office, or to the contents of the mail-bags, you will refuse to re ceive such letter 'or packet. In the event of any letter or packet being taken by you, and you do notuntil after wards discover that it contains any article as above de scribed, or should any such letter or packet be deposited in the letter-box, you will not forward it to its destina tion, but you will detain it in your office, and inform me by the fir s t p os t o f the circumstance, stating the precise address of the letter or packet, and its contents, or what you suppose them to be, when proper steps will be taken in this department in the case, and you will be instructed in what manner to dispose of the letter or packet. Should any letter or packet containing any ar ticle as beforementioned not be discovered by the post master at whose office it may be posted, but be forwarded on to its destination, the receiving postmaster to whose town it may be addressed, upon discovering, or having reason to believe, that its contents are such as those al luded to, will not send it out for delivery, but will detain it in his office, reporting the circumstance to me by the first post, and stating the nature of its contents, when he will be duly instructed in what manner to dispose of it.—By command, W. L. MABERLY, Secretary." TUE RIVER ELLEN.—In consequence of the great number of fish which have lately been found dead in the river Ellen. it was generally supposed that the river had been extensively poisoned by poachers for the purpose of procuring their prey. This conjecture, however, has been proved to be entirely groundless, as far as the poachers are concerned, through the exertions of J. P. Senhouse, Esq., of Netherhall, who was led to inquire n into the cause of the destruction of so many of the finny S race as was daily observed by him in that portion of the river which runs through his grounds. Mr. Senhouse, suspecting the river to contain some strong poisonous ti ingredient, had two bottles filled with the water, which n 1 he transmitted to Mr. J. B. 'Wilson, surgeon, of White- tl haven, for the purpose of being analysed. On submit- G ting the water thus sent to him to an analytical test, Mr. Wilson discovered that it contained peroxide of iron and L sulphate of lime to the extent of three grains and a half In to a pint of water. This at once accounted for the de- S struotion of the fish, as it was wholly impossible that cc the tenants of the stream could exist in their native ele ment when in such a state of adulteration. On further ta, inquiry respecting the clause of the river being in such a tr state, it was discovered that the owners of the collieries . T .,th in the neighbourho o d o f D ur h am h ad been pumping the water out of som e o f th e i r p i ts, w hi c h had found its way "'' into the river Ellen, and had produced the consequences which we have just described. Some idea may be formed of' the poisonous nature of the water pumped from the pits, when we s t a t e t h at t h e fi sh were destroyed by ' wholesale, and that they were found dead in great num • hers at least three miles below the junction of the stream from the pit with the Ellen. We feel assured, however, that as soon as the owners of these mines are made ac quainted with the disastrous consequences of suffering this poisonous water to flow into rivers, they will en deavour to direct it into some other channel. Carlisle Patriot, GALLOPPING MATCH FOR FIFTY POUNDS.—On Wednesday a match to gallop over 20 miles of ground came off at Leatherhead Downs, Surrey. The race was between Mr. Massman's bay horse and Mr. Fenton's brown mare. The terms of the match were to gallop 20 miles each, and the horse performing this distance in least time to be entitled to the stakes, which was a side—five miles of course was se lected, The horses kept together for two miles, when the mare took a lead of about 300 yards, and came in this distance in advance. At the completion of five m il es, which occupied 17 minutes and 47 seconds, they were pulled in and refreshed, and in three minutes w ere at their work, and performed the next five miles i n 1 8 minutes and a 1 seconds, coining in nearly together, and without evincing the least apparent distress.

DEATH OF MAJOR GALLWEL We regret to announce the death of Major Gallwey, deputy inspector -general of the Irish constabulary, which took place yesterday, at his residence, Barton Lodge, Rathfarnham. lie had been attacked with typhus fever three weeks since ; but subsequently gastric fever set in, and proved fatal. Major Gallwey, who was a Roman Catholic, was a most admirable officer—efficient, painstaking, and perfectly impartial in the discharge of his duties. The Dublin Evening Post says—" Major Gallwey had been promoted to the deputy inspector generalship about five years since, during the adminis tration of Lord Normanby, and his appointment was one of the many highly honourable to the Whig Government, and which contributed so much to create popular confidence in the administration of justice." STATE OF TIPPERARY. The Tipperary papers, received this morning, thus report progress : TOONEVARA MEETING.—WC understand that this meeting will be held about one o'clock to-morrow (Sun day), at which it is hoped that every friend to the peace and well-being of society will attend. The Rev. John Meagher, the respected parish priest, ever foremost in the suppression of crime, and indefatigable in the per formance of his duties, will be present with his respected curates, Res. Messrs. Molony and Burke. Several of the gentry and farmers of the district have also inti mated their intention of attending. We believe that much valuable information will be given as to the state of the parish in reference to the land system, and the causes of these outrages which we all deplore, and which we must endeavour to suppress.— Tipperw 3/ Yin dicator. ATTACK FOR FIRE-ARNS.-11EROIC CONDUCT OF A YOUNG WOMAN.—A daring attack was made on the night of Tuesday, by a gang of ruffians paid for dis turbing the public peace, on the house of a humble but industrious, well-conducted man, of the name of Flaherty, in the neighbouring parish of Monsea, and within two or three miles of Nenagh. The intention of the miscreants %sag to steal a gun of which they were aware Flaherty was possessed. Having made an entrance, they loudly demanded the prize for which they sought. Much to their astonishment, they were instantly met by defiance 1 A young woman, Mary Flaherty, daughter of the owner of the lowly abode, encountered the first of the ruffians who entered, and resolutely declared that she was determined to die before she would permit the contemplated rob bery. This, of course, did not prevent the ruffians from persevering ; and one of them, in an endeavour to strike the heroic girl down, failed, whilst she took up a milk pail that was near her, and fought most bravely, break ing it on the head of a villain, calling on her brother, who was also in the house, to aid her ; and, after an effectual resistance, in which she received several blows, some of them of such a desperate character as to en danger her life, the miscreants were driven oft; unable to accomplish their design. The young woman was brought into Nenagh on Wednesday morning. She lies in a very precarious condition, under the care of Dr. Kitson,. Her conduct is the theme of universal praise.—lbid. An atrocious outrage was perpetrated on Thursday night, in the parish of Ballymackey. The house of an industrious man of the name of Kennedy was fired into by certain infamous miscreants, for what cause is un known. Th ree b a l ls were lodged in the wall beside the bed in which Kennedy and his wife lay.—lbid. On Tuesday last, at dusk, a party of eight men, black ened, met the steward and workmen in the employment of William Middleton. of Elm-hill, Esq., when returning from work, near the village of Toomevara, and having collared the steward, asked him for a man named Hogan, for working (as they called it) under hire, or for any other man daring to do so. Two of the party remained behind a fence, one at each side, sspposed to be armed, with guns, the rest had large sticks and two stones each. Mr. Middleton is a large public contractor, and employs over fifty men daily, This is the second attack on his men, one of whom was very severely beaten a few days since for working for him, and had to quit. Mr. Mid dleton had just parted from his steward and men t., go home another road, when this daring outrage took. place, which, no doubt, was very fortunate for some of the ruffians. We have learned that all Mr. Mirldleton's men have quitted, and left his work unfinished—Nenagh Guardian. COUNTY OF MEATH—MEETING OF MAGIS TRATES. Several magistrates of this County assembled at Na van, on the 27th ult., to adept measures for the discovery of the persons who made an attempt on the life of Mr. Potterton. The sum of 5521 was subscribed, including 651. contributed by the tenantry of that gentleman. It was announced that the Government had consented to strengthen the police force in the district. RAILWAYS —GRAND CANAL COMPANY. The Evening Post contains a report of a general meet ing of proprietors, held this day at the Grand Canal Company's house, when it was resolved to send a depu tation to London, to give the most strenuous Opposition to the projected plan of a railway running to the west of Ireland by Portarlington, and in conjunction with the Cashel Railway Irons Dublin to that town. In the course of the proceedings, Mr. J. PIM, jun. described certain proposed arrangements with the Dub lin and Cashel Company, by which four directors of the London and Birmingham Railway were to act as direc tors on the contemplated Galway line, to be secured from loss by a guarantee fund of 1,000/., and he con demned such a proceeding in the most decided terms. Mr. R. GUINNESS denied that any such arrangement was in contemplation. Mr. Pim, who returned to the room, repeated his statement, and required Mr. Guinness, who was a Direc tor of the Company in question, to confirm or deny his assertion respecting the guarantee. Mr. GUINNESS said there had certainly been an over ture to that effect, but the arrangement had nut beers sanctioned by the board. For his part he should deci dedly oppese it. Mr. Pim observed that he was well aware the bargain bad not been concluded, but Mr. Guinness admitted the overture had been made, and this admission confirmed all he had stated. Before the close of the proceedings, Mr. Pit stated that Mr. Brunel, engineer of the English Great Western Company, was coming over to survey the banks of the Grand Canal, with a view to a railway along the line. MEETING op JUDGES.—Yesterday the Right Hon. the Chief Baron, Baron Lefroy, Mr. Justice Perrin, and Justice Jackson, sat for a short time in chamber, for the purpose of appointing a treasurer to the benchers of Queen's Inns for the present year, in room of Chief Baron Brady, whose term of office had expired.
