[PRICE SD. name of every householder among the two millions of inhabitants. Such is, however, the fact. The " Post Office Directory" will tell him all this ant more ; for. besides , the names •f streets, lanes, and alleys, it will supply a distinct index to all professions and trades. and to all establishments abolt which any one can have occasion to inquire. The librarians of the British Museum have been sonic tea or twenty years trying to catalogue some 300,000 or 400,000 books, and they are not yet (me quarter through the work. Would it not be well to send them to the compilers of the " Post Office Directory,' who have found out a way to catalogue some two millions of items every year your orders, supported by four hundred hatters to defend from the weather the locks or the wigs which any of the seven hundred professors of hair-drez.sing, let alone the poor barbers, will gladly dress or supply. Six hundred and odd coal merchants —real and brass-plate—will supply coals to boil the kettle for the tea, which eight hundred and eighty manufacturers of milk will weaken and sightly discolour wi , ll their patent composition. Let us turn from the body to the intellect and the soul. For the mighty mass four hundred and fifty public and national schools proffer education, mostly free ; whilst seven hundred and fifty other private acade mies will supply a similar article according to the price. By the National Church one hundred and forty-nine churches are pro vided for the people, more than halt of which are practically closed to the poor, by reason of their being private property. The rest of the religious accommodation is divided among the sections and Stlb• sections of Dissent, numbering one hundred and eighty in all. This is a sad picture. How long win it be ere the painting 1 P altered ? The hody is indeed cared for in disease as well as In health ; besides more than 300 physicians, waiting to be called in, little loss than seventeen hundred surgeons are prepared to act as their pioneers. Such is London—living London—respectable London—on each of whose inhabitants depend so many of their fellow-denizens of the Monster Hive. THE WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLLEST, of Frimley, Surrey —Frimley, Bag shot, December 31,1850.—An earnest APPEAL to public benevolence is respectfully submitted by a few friends and neighbours on behalf of the WIDOW of the late Rev. GEORGE EDWARD HOLI,ES who for a period of 18 years, in an exemplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was saddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had the means of making a provisten for his widow. Under such circumstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. Herries, Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs. Coutts, and Co.; Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co.; Sir S. Scott, Bart., and Co., 1, Cavendish square ; Messrs. Mangles Brothers, Guildford; Messrs.

The volume of this important and indispensable work for the forthcoming year has just made its appearance, and exhibits no fall ing off, either in bulk or utility, when compared with the large family of volumes which have preceded it. The same principles of division and subdivision are preserved, and such is the completeness of the plan, that any fact touching the occupancy or calling of a re sident in London is placed within the immediate grasp. But the zealous and unwearying industry which has always presided over the preparation of this stupendous annual has too frequently been acknowledged to need panegyric no v. The " Post Office Directory" has long been an essential in every counting-house; and such it will always be, so long as the same comprehensive spirit governs the supervision. The new volUme contains every correction and addi tion that the lapse of another year has rendered necessary ; and the excellence of the machinery by which this Is effected enables the editors to bring their labours down to a very rec flt period. A bask in daily use, as this is, and subjected to such frequent reference, is tested as closely as it is possible to test anything of the sort ; and the best praise that we can bestow upon it is, that we never knew it to mislead any one by false or imperfect information. Every year ne cessarily improves the methods laid down for collecting the peculiar kind of intelligence in which it deals, and ensures the more certainly the accuracy of its registration ; and as the book has long distanced competition, so is it likely to remain what it has now for some years been, an extraordinary and unparalleled monument of diligence, energy, and enterprise.

'- • - This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently but erro neously entertained that these aomplaints are beyond ne reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for aEistance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has tak.an the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the graat extent of his practice fer many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

Bedtordiquare London. SUN, NOVEMBER 13, 1850. Among the many products of British industry, none, perhaps, will better deserve a place in the Exhibition of 1851, than this mammoth volume, in itself a specimen of industry, research, accuracy, arid typography, which has rarely, if ever been equalled, and which can never be surpassed, whilst, at the same time, it is the guide to, and the record of, all those great and magnificent industrial establish ments, to the existence of which in London she owes the proud posi tion which slte holds as the metropolis of the civilized world, which occupy buildings covering a space of ground larger than the territo ries of many a German or Italian independent Prince, and which give employment to individuals whose numbers exceed those of the armies of many of the first-rate powers of the world. As a not un worthy specimen of British industry itself, and as a copious, and ac curate, and complete index to every other species of metropolitan in dustry, "Kelly's Post Office London Directory" is certainly entitled to a place in the Exhibition which is to take place in the Glass Palace of Industry in the year 1851. This publication of the " Post Office London Directory" commenced in the year 1799, and the present is, consequently, the fifty-second annual publication ; and it is a matter of curious research to compare the present with the early editions of the work, and to mark the vast improvement which has been effected ; in fact the present resembles the earlier editions In name merely. The work, in order to facilitate reference, is now divided into no less than ten Directories :—viz., an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a " Commercial Directory," a " Trades Directory," a" Law Directory," a "Court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a " Postal Directory," a " City Direc tory," a " Conveyance Directory," and a " Banking Directory" ; and the whole is so admirably indexed that a person desiring any intlarmation with regard to the great'mctropoiis or its inhabitants, cannot experience the slightest difficulty in at once laying his finger on the page of the 2,091 pages of which this book is composed, which contains the information he requires. The present edition of the Directory contains a list of the principal hotels and commercial inns throughout England and Wales, with the names of the occu piers, and the population. In this we see only another proof of the anxiety of the proprietor to make his work as complete, as useful, and as perfect as possible. As he himself well observes in his preface :—" Copiousness, accuracy, and appropriate classifica tion, so that everything which may reasonably be exnected in such a book may not only be found, but found without difficulty, are in dispensable to perfection. These advantages can in any Directory only be attained gradually, and not completely until, as in this case, the work enjoys the entire circulation. While rivals existed pa tronage was divided between books which were, or should have been, counterparts of each other ; the public, thererore, had to pay more than they need have done for such works as were brought out, and besides to submit to inferior productions, the total receipts not being sufficient to sustain two Directories of London, each as , comprehensive as the present. And that the case was precisely as here stated is proved by the fact that this volume—to say nothing of its superior accuracy, classification, and geceral arrangement— contains about double the quantity of mere letter-press contained in the closing volume of its latest annual competitor, and is published to its subscribers at a lower price. So that the public, as well as the proprietor of the Post Office London Directory,' benefit by the circumstance that the work is—as it has for several years past been _ _ . . —without a competitor. It may he safely predicted that this fa vourable position will be continued—firmly established as this Di rectory is in public favour, It can only be necessary that an equal amount of diligence to that which has led to so gratifying a result still be continued, in order to sustain it ; on this the public may with confidence rely." The public have for years past relied with confi dence on the exertions of the proprietors of the " Post Office London Directory," and have invariably found their confidence responded to, so that year by year the work has become more copious, more accurate, and better classified, until now it has attained that which is to all appearance a state of absolute perfection, and is, in every sense of the phrase, without a rival. The Committee have the satisfaction to state that her Majesty the Queen, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Bishop of Winchester, have sanctioned their exertions by very liberal donatlero. The Committee return their grateful thanks for the liberal manner in which their appeal has been responded to, and they thankfully acknowledge the following ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Kelly and Co , Boswell-court, Temple-bar, and is the 52d of a most valuable series. This volume, like its predecessors, contains a mass of ♦ery useful, and in the present state of the community almost indispensable, information, compiled with indefatigable industry, and with an accuracy of research which may be relied on. The present volume is in arrangement and distribution of matter similar to those by which it has been preeeded. It is remarkably well printed, and made In appearance as handsome as a book of such a class can be made. What can be said of few books of the same bulk may fairly be said of it—that no part could be taken from it without doing it an injury, and its very bulk is a security for its copiousness. There is, as usual, a good map of London prefixed to the letter-press, and a variety of emendations which render it as perfect as sack a work can be made. MORNING HERALD, NOVEMBER 13, 1850. The fifty-second publication of this stupendous annual has just made its appearance, exhibiting no remission of that intelligent and systematic industry which has hitherto given the book so specific a character for unique and comprehensive utility. Within this large and plethoric volume every name and residence, every trade and profession, incident to the metropolis is to be found arranged upon such a clear and orderly plan as to place it within in stant reach. Every succeeding issue has suggested some im provement in the methods of detail, as well as in the completion of the machinery by which such a multitudinous assemblage of facts might be revised and corrected at intervals; and the book may now be pronounced perfect. The experience of the last few years has taught us to put the most implicit faith in the records of the " Post Office Directory." Error can scarcely be said to exist at all, so efficient is the process by which the separate lists are edited by special emissaries ; while the wants of any sort of Inquirer, whether referring to the Government official or the City merchant, the professional man or the shopkeeper, are met by the judiclous mature of the sub-divisions and the facility afforded by the treble Directories of streets, trade.:, and persons. But the characteristics of Mr. Kelly's mammoth periodical are well known., for no book is subjected to more frequent reference. It has now become a public necessity ; and to be without it would be an inconvenience the public would but ill like to encounter. We have often been called upon to applaud the intmen e amount of laborious enterpr:se bestowed upon the prepara tion of this volume. Every fresh instance suggests the same species of apostrophe; and no one can turn over the two thousand pages of which it consists, every page a mass of small solid typography, with out being struck with the magnitude of the undertaking, and its im measurable usefulness to the public at large. We have nothing now to add to our former commendations. The volume for 1851 contains the usual number of Directories, besides a variety of information upon every su , iject either remotely or immediately connected with the occupancy of London. Remark beyond this is superfluous. MORNING CHRONICLE, NOVEMBER 13, IESO. The fifty-second annual publication of this most useful work has just been sent to us. The public, generally speaking, are fully alive to the merits of this enormous volume, extending to upwards of 2,000 closely printed pages, and nearly every person engaged in com mercial or professional pursuits in this great metropolis regards it as being necessary to him in his avocation in consequence of the constant reference he is (swivelled to make to it. It is possible, however, that there are some who may suppose that the " Post Office Directory" is merely a list of names of persons engaged in trade; whereas, we can assure them that it comprises, under separate heads, a number of different Directories, each of which furnishes a large mass of information, so admirably arranged that any matter apper taining to the distinct subjects may be readily found ranged under one of the hallowing titles :—The "Official," the " Street," the " Commercial," the " Trades," the " Law," the " Court," the " Par liamentary," the " Postal," the " City," the " Conveyance," aril the " Banking" Directories. The proprietors state that, " copiousness, accuracy, and appropriate classification, so that everything that may reasonably he expected in such a book may not only be found, but found without difficalty, are indispensable to perfection ;" and as far as we have been enabled to test this large volume we can congratu late them on having attained to that perfection. MORNING POST, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. This remarkable publication has reached its fifty-second year, and, bulky as it is, it does not contain a superabundant line, or an item of information which might have been withheld without detracting from its completeness. This is good evidence that utility rather than display has been aimed at ; and the remark carries along wtth it a high compliment to the discretion, ability and public spirit of Mr. Kelly. Although competition has ceased, the circumstance has had no relaxing effect upon the efforts of the proprietor to preserve the character of his publication, as will be abundantly seen by all who have occasion to refer to its pages. The great streams of in formation are, as usual, the " Official," the "Street," the "Commer cial," the " Trades," the " Law," the "Court," the " Parliamen tary," the "Posts]," the "Conveyance," and the "Banking" Directories. As affording an index to the commercial greatness of London, as well as to many other of its characteristics, a perusal of the lists cannot be deemed uninteresting ; on the contrary, it may invite the application of some time and trouble to work out a few results. Without aiming at anything beyond a fair approximation to the truth, the following facts may be stated :—Of persons holding official situations under the Crown, in the East India House, th Bank of England, and other public offices, 7,000 names are inserted. e In 7,350 streets, the names of 110,000 persons are mentioned as en gaged to business, or as householders, In the " Commercial Direc tory," where the names appear without the street classification, and are limited mainly to those engaged in business, 80,000 may be taken as the number. In the analysis which is given of the persons en gaged in trades and professions (excluding the law), 90,080 names appear. In the " Court Directory" 26,000 names are riven. Taking the religious characteristics of London as the subject ef analyss, we have : 264 churches a nd 84 chapels belonging te the National Church; and 291 Disrnting meetin -.houses. The last are very varied in name, and unequal in point of number. The Independents hive 81 places of worship ; the Wesleyans, 44; Baptists, 69; Ro mai Catholics, 19 ; Unitarians, 4 ; Irvingites, 3 ; Society of Friends, 8 ; Jews, 7 ; connected with Scotch system, $ ; of foreign ehspels, there are Bavarian, Danish, German, French, Greek, Swedish, and Italian. The "Directory" contains a minute, but clearly engraved map of London, on a scale of three inches to the mile. MORNIN ; ADVERTISER, NOVEMIEI% 16, 1850. Among the proofs of England's commercial, social, and political greatness—the last named being a necessary sequent of the two former—we can certainly point with pride to the huge volume be fore us. It is, like the people whose avocations, professions, resi dences, and names it so accurately catalogues and classifies, labori ous, able, energetic practical. and solid. A microcosm of society, dry and unattractive it the first view. but full of utility, nay, an indispensable guide to him who seeks to track individuality in the vast labyrinth of London, which, if, in his ignorance, he supposes to to be a c,nfused hive of hurrying money-seekers, an understand ing examination of Messrs. Kelly's stupendous Directory will show to be " A mighty maze, yet not without a plan." Here in this storehouse of multitudinous facts, even the foreigner may gleam some idea of the vast variety of industrial pursuits, which :have made England great, and keep her so. The num ber of merchants, manufacturers, shopkeepers, professional men, government officials, the butterflies of fashion, the peerage, and even those whom fortune has elevated to the questionable privilege of " Nati consumere fruges," may here be approximately guessed; and a picture in little of the labour and battle of life in this country be drawn by those who possess the requisite application and perspicacity. On the whole, " The Post Office Directory " is an honour to the direc tors of so much systematic and intelligent industry, and its fifty second issue " moults no feathe r " of its previous fame. Every subject remotely or immediately bearing upon the object of the work seems to he foreseen and contrived for, and as the re cord of " a million of facts," it is the only volume we have ever seen to which we:could, without reservation, fairly apply that often mis-used title. DAILY NEWS, NOVEMBER 14, 1850. " The Post Office London Directory" for 1851 has just been issued; and after an examination of its multifarious contents, we may declare it to deserve a continuance of the extensive patronage it has hitherto so long received. More than 2,000 pages, divided into somewhere about 5,000 columns of close type, contain a mass of information about London and its people to be found in no other book. To estimate this Directory fairly, one should go with some degree of attention through its pages, and then try to calculate the amount of labour bestowed on its production, and the great amount of time it saves to those for whose use it is intended. Having done that—no rapid task—an attempt may be made to see how far it is accurate. Turn to the name of any person who, in trade or pro fession, has recently removed from ono prominent part of London to another, and see if the name be posted up. After submitting the volume to a test of this kind, which it stood most completely, we feel no hesitation in bearing witness to its accuracy and complete ness. And we may add, that among the many things that may fall tftider the notice;of our foreign friends who come to see the Ex hibition of 1851, few are adapted to convey a more exact idea of the vastness of the metropolis of England than this huge volume with two thousand pages filled with the names, addresses, and occupa tions of her chief residents and citizens. STANDARD, DECEMBER 2, 1850. This publication is one of the marvels of our age —a work as much exceeding the celebrated " Annua re of Didot" as London exceeds Paris in wealth, population, and exitent. Our readers may remember in a late number of the " Quarterly Review" a remarkable article describing the wonderful machinery of the General Post Offlee. Now, the " Post Office Directory" is really a counterpart of that wonderful machinery. Suppose a man to stand of a clear morning at the top of Dighgate-hill, and to look round upon the bounless sea of brick which actually fills the whole horizon, and then to be told that he might in one minute, by referring to a portable book, find not merely the name of every, even the m inutest, street, lane, or alley in the prodigious accumulation of dwellings, but even the WEEKLY DP , PATCH, NOVEMBER 17, 1850. Messrs. Kelly and Co. have just published the fifty-second annual edition of the " Post Office Directory." Having examined the con tents of this mammoth book, in every department, with scrutinizing attention, and having before given our unqualified approbation of it, we may readily ha excused for printing the following observa tions from the address of the spirited 'publishers, and adopting them as our own :—" The Directory was long at the head of books of its class, and has now, for many years, stood alone : its varied lists, classifications, and arrangements, comprising as they do—' Official Directory;' Street Directory ;" Commercial Directory;' Trades' Directory ;" Law Directory ;" Court Directory ;" Parliamentary Directory ;" Postal Directory ;' City Directory . ;" Conveyance Directory ;" Banking Directory,' &c., 1 , ,,ve all chances of com petition at hopeless distance, as successive attempts have fullyproved. It cannot be requisite to give, in detail, the contents of a work so universally known and in such general me, and all that can be neces sary to announce is, that every exertion has been used in order that the present edition may merit the gratifying description of its im mediate predecessors, characterised as these have been, in the metro politan journals, as the Hand-books to the commerce of the first commercial city of the world.' In the case of such a volume, pro duced but once a year, mere cost must always be quite secondary to fulness of information and accuracy of arrangement ; still, it may not be entirely irrelevant to direct attention to the fact, that, taking its bulk only, without reference to the general typographical and other arrangements, it Is by far the cheapest book which issues from the English press. In the year 1844 the classification arid ar rangements which have been since continued were adopted, and the price of the volume fixed at thirty shillings; at this time the work had an opponent, and much surprise was excited that the ' Post Office London Directory' could, with its far greater amount of mat tor, be sold at a lower price than its competitor. In the year named, the' Post Office London Directory' was included in 1,855 of its im perial octavo pages; it now extends to 2,082, being an actual excess of 227 of these pages. This large addition (made since the Post Office has been the only Directory of London), although necessarily involving a greatly increased outlay in the pi - eduction, has been ac complished without any addition to time price of the book to its sub scribers." EXAMINER, NOVZMBER 16, 1850, This extraordinary compilation maintains its high character. For copiousness, correctness, and admirable clas,ificatien, it has no approach to a competitor. It is not simply one Directory; it is a dozen separate Directories; yet so skilfully arranged and connected as to tend each to the other's greater completeness. The several Directories of streets, trades, professions and persons, are a re markfole example of this. Each is complete in itself, yet none would be so to the same extent merely by itself. Successive years (and the book is now fifty-two years old) have contributed their ex perience, till the arrangement may be pronounced nearly perfect. But we are needlessly commending what is become a public neces sity to every one engaged in the general business of London life. Perhaps we could hardly express the magnitude or wonders of our city more forcibly to the foreign friends who visit us neat May, than by placing in their hands this astonishing record of the trades and callings, of the several modes of life, of the infinitely vast and various streams of human existence and interests, which are now all gathered together under the name of London. SPECTATOR, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. This gigantic publication, with its two thousand pages of closely packed type, seems to leave nothing more to be desired in the way of new subjects, or the exhibition of those subjects in different as pects, so that the searcher, who from want of particulars falls in one mode cf examination, may have recourse to another. If there are here and there slight errors or omissions of detail, they may fairly be ascribed to the multiplicity of minutife, or to the necessity of sometimes relying on second-hand information. It would be well, however, to bear in mind the necessity of unceasing watchfulness as regards accuracy. JOHN BULL, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. The fifty second edition of that monster repertory of the great Babylon of modern times, and of all that dwell and trade therein, —Kelly's " Post Office London Directory for 1851"—is now lying before us; bearing witness in its annually increasing bulk to the incessant growth of the metropolis in all directions. In every de partment of its encyclopaedic contents the present edition furnishes evidence of the indefatigable industry with which it is kept ' au courant' of the countless changes which take place from year to year in so vast a population. HERAPATIPS R tILWAY JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 16, 1850, The fifty-second annual edition, which has just appeared, merits all that could be said for it. The Messrs. Kelly seem to glory in their " Post Office Directory," and to strive, year after year, to effect improvements. It is impossible to deny that up to, and including the present praiseworthy ed tion, they have succeeded. They have now securely in their hands the monopoly of the book, and far from abusing it, the result bears evidence that it has been beneficial to the public. Extensive Travelling Leave granted without extra Premium Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates. EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE. Capital-500,0^01. (Incorporated under 7 and 8 Viet., cap. 110.) The leading principles of this Office are —Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits. The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against LOSS by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companied have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. _ It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tic e, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, ..without the Average Clause.

ATLAS, NOVEMBER 16, 1850, Year after year adds to the wonders of this digest of tke most wonderful of modern cities. "London." said 31. Scribe, "is not a city, but an agglomeration of divers interests, passions, and preju dices." 'Whatever these may be, they are all tabled in this volume, with a completeness and accuracy without a parallel. We scarcely know which to be the most proud of—the enormous city which could furnish materials for such a work, or the industry and enterprise necessary to reduce to order such a complex variety of facts, which make the volume as interesting to the curious as it is indispensable to men of business. The volume this year extends to 2,091 pages. The classification is the same as usual ; in fact, it WAS impossible to improve upon it. 'We have examined for ourselves many of the new references for the present year, and can bear testimonyto their per fect accuracy. BELL'S WEEKLY MESSENGER, DECEMBER 7, 1850. We congratulate Mr. Kelly on the appearance of the: fifty-second edition of this most valuable publication. To convey a correct idea by description of the enormous: amount of labour which must have been employed in collecting and arranging the materials, or of the variety of the subjects comprised In this Directory, is beyond our power. A mere enumeration of the general heads under which these subjects are placed would fill a cohnon of our paper. Suffice it, therefore, to say, that to the merchant, the trader, the lawyer, the tanker—in fact, to every class of the community whose business may lead them to require the aid of a Directory, ➢lr. Kelly's volume is indispensable. MINING JOURNAL, NovEsrsEa 16, 1850. The old adage, that " a great book is a great evil," is triumphantly falsified by the annual publication of this imposing volume, with its 2,000 pages, and its vast mass of practical information. All competi tors, at all approaching the same comprehensive scale, have lately dropped off; so that the work, both in its dimensions and the im mense variety of information i t affords, is now unique. It stands alone, and is I:kely long to remain so in the extent of its resources the collective array of details of streets and squares of the great metropolis and inhabitants thereof. The admirable classification and arrangement of this mass of information forms, perhaps, its most striking feature and the secret of its usefulness, since under its various heads—" Official," " Commercial," " Trades," " Parliamentary," " Banking," Btc.—the required fact may almost infallibly be ascer tained. It cannot be presumed that there is any apparent improve ment on its predecessors of the last few years, since the arrange ments hardly admitted of a change for the better. There is ample evidence, however, that the 52nd volume of the Directory contains the latest changes up to the time of its appearance—in that respect doing vast credit to the watchful care bestowed upon its contents down to the minutest details. In a word, it em bodies a dozen Directories in one, each under its separate depart ment containing the precise information calculated to be of practical use to the public for whom it has been so elaborately compiled. LITERARY GAZETTE, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. This massive volume, which yearly increases in size and useful ness, has made its usual appearance. The Inhabitants of London are catalogued for us by the editors, not only alphabetically, but accord ing to their occupations and residences. A " Parliamentary Direc• tory," a "Postal Directory," and " City," " Conveyance," " Bank ing." and " Assurance Directories," contain under their respective heads every item of information th a t ca n be useful, so admirably arranged as to be instantly accessible. No resident in the metropolis should be without the " Post Office Directory." It is as necessary and serviceable to tke Nobleman and the Esquire, as it is absolutely essential to the Banker, the Lawyer, the Merchant, the Manufac turer, and the Tradesman. BRITANNIA, NOVEMBER 16, 1850. MODERN BABYLON, The advertisement sheets of a leading journal have with justice been characterised as the miniature of the wants, the wisnes, and the employments of the nation, of which a perfect Directory would be the daguerreotype. Such a sun-painting of living London now lies before us, comprised in a mass of paper and print that frights us to behold. More than two thousand pages of close printing, and many columns in each page, are required to chronicle the residences and the occupations, not of London en masse, but merely of her upper and middle classes. All will agree with us in. designating the well known" Post Office Directory" as amost useful book, if not an actual necessary to tile man of business. We must, however, go further. and speak of it as one as full of instruction as of information, and more profitable for useful consideration than many a book filled from cover to cover with statistics of men and things. In its mass of type we have London laid out before us, in the social ref lations of her people, as clearly as the best pan o r ama h as ever d e picted the brick and stone of her outward garb. She is here, r i th r P subordinates gLondon, represented by the classes wh o f o rm the °Pulation, who not only cons ume , b u t by them selvescreate the wealth of which she boasts considerbl:oefht'hee the various divisions of our higher and middle classes living, L e strengthus a d t a i as they are mapped out before us. Within her boundaries, as the mart of commerce, as well as the seat of Royalty and Government — the emporium of trade, as well as the centre of professional exertion are gathered in perfect masses. When we speak of these boundaries an d t a lent—officials, court iers, me rc hants, professionals, and trades men, we speak not of the narrow closely-packed city, within its ancient line of walls, whence the great aggregate of the metro polis takes its name, but of that aggregate of life and life's abodes that forms the practical metropolis. We Speak of a city of upwards of seven thousand streets, and ntore than one hundred and fifteen thousand houses, inhabited by the upper and middle classes. We speak of a city in which more than two thousand different trades are carried on, where commerce musters upwards of seventy-six th ousan d f o llowers—where th irt y -thousand officials are d • ally at wor k—and where upwards of sixteen hundred b arristers hope for business, with the encouraging knowledge that were all the metro politan attornies there among them, there would be just a brace for each member of tile other branch of the profession. For five miles t sparkle.hei r u s e f u : from north to south, for nearly eight from east to west, this city extends, with little more space uncovered by houses than suffices for the daily traffic of its masses, and some half-dozen tiny lungs for their weekly respiration. When we bear in mind that these num bers refer only to the upper and middle classes of cur metropolitan masses of our working popu lation we shall not be surprised at the numbers of masters whom we find arranged under each-separate head of those divisions of science or art into which we must now sub-divide London. Indeed, their numbers, more especially when due regard is paid to the numbers of the sections by which the necessaries of life are furnished, form tile fill swarming g lie complement of its myriads. best evidence wth of go the to Large as is the population accounted for among the list of " respectables," It sinks into insignificance when compared with that living swarm for which the pur veyors of food in London buy and sell, Our capitalists require with the comforting and consoling 500 architects and 800 builders to devise and build houses for them, and druggists muster 200 more.

The last day of the first Fifty years has been rung out, and the first day of the succeeding Fifty has been rung in. The departure of one year, and the advent of another, are ever regarded with feelings of interest; and the commencement of a new half century is looked upon as an epocha in the history of the world. The statesman, the historian, the Pfllosopher, and the moralist, are equally alive to the importance and interest attaching to such a conjuncture. The dawning of the present year is viewed with unusual interest, not merely because it is the initial year of a new half century, but, likewise, because it is to be distinguished by one of the most extra ordinary events (if not the most extraordinary) that has ever transpired. It will not be expected that MOSES and SON will remain silent at a moment like the present; more especially when it is recollected that the Proprietors make a practice at this season of acknowledg ing past obligations in trade, and soliciting future favours with are • assurance of future endeavours. It mast be evident to everybody, that ever since E. MOSES and SON commenced, there has been a certain, unfluctuating progres sion in their trade. Like as the quicksilver of the thermometer rises in its glass, as the day opens and warms, has the trade of E. MOSES and SON risen year after year beneath the warm support of an ap proving Public. That such a simile is not a mere hyperbole, the discerning Public have abundont proof—proof too clear and conclusive to be disputed by any candid observer. The Parent Speculation of E. MOSES and SON in the City has spread and spread year after year, till it has become the most gigan tic trading house in the world. Again: so great has been the demand for the advantages held out by the Proprietors, that two important towns in Yorkshire (Brad ford and Sheffield) have been made the scenes of still further opera tions; for the success attending which, E. NOSES and SON have had to make distinct and special acknowledgments in the annual ad dresses of previous years. Thus far it is evident that each succeeding year has surpassed its predecessor in the public support realized by the Proprietors. Nor can less be, with truth, asserted of the year which has just expired. Elaghteen Hundred and Fifty has been distinguished by the opening of a vast West-end Branch Dress Mart, the opening of which was hinted at in the annual address of last year. To each of the Establishments thus referred to, the year Eighteen Hundred and Fifty has been a year of undoubted prosperity ; prospe rity of which the proprietors find it difficult to convey an adequate idea, and prosperity for which they find it utterly impossible to make an adequate return in the present circular. There is one satisfac tion, however, namely—that were the Proprietors to occupy whole columns of the public prints in expressing the sincerity of their ac knowledgments, the public would consider their professions as utterly valueless, were their acknowledgments unaccompanied by corroborative merits. It is but reasonable to conclude that an im partial and enlightened public would not have supported E. MOSES and SON to the extent which they have done, were there not some sterling inducements held out by the Proprietors. It is admitted on all hands, that the secret of the success which E. MOSES and SON have realised, lies in the excellence and ele gance of their attire, coupled with the exceedingly moderate prices at which the articles are sold. That such advantages shall be extended in the year 1851, the public need not question. That Grand Exhibition, which the Ame rican President has denominated " The World's Fair," has not been overlooked by E. MOSES and SON. It is difficult to conceive what will be the result of suck an Exhi bition ; but Whatever that result may be, E. MOSES and SON are bent on distinguishing themselves in no ordinary manner. The pre sent year has not coins upon the proprietors unawares. From the very moment that her Majesty's Royal Consort gave birth to his comprehensive conception, E. MOSES and SON have been on the alert in preparing a stock of attire of every description, such as no preceding year has witnessed. For immensity of stock, variety of assortment, quality and beauty of cloth, novelty and elegance of fashion, and surprising cheapness, E. MOSES and SON will be found to be unequalled. The Proprietors would here Intimate, that the moment the Royal Commissioned commenced its operations, or as soon as the Great Ex hibition was first mentioned, they put themselves in communication with the principal manufacturers in woollen and other fabrics, and that they have succeeded, by means of awarding liberal prizes, la securing some of the most tasty and novel materials for gentlemen's dress, which will be ready for exhibition at the commencement of the ensuing Spring Season. By thus extending the advantages of their trade, the Proprietors intend to recompeneo a liberal public, and secure a continuance of support, so abundantly realised at present. As the West-end Branch Establishment was a project of the past year, E. MOSES and SON are induced to make a special allu a s r on im. it. The support which this speculation has received, had f measurably far, exceeds even what the Prop r i e t o rs th em selves anticipated ; such triumphant support has here been achieved by , E. mv, MOSES and SON, as fully convinces the m that this opeug as none other than a step in the right directi r on. a oof success, E. MOSES Heartily acknowledging this s pecial p by the industry of all nations and SON would conclud, hoping that, the amity of all uAtions s will be happily promoted in 0 year 1851.

ST. STEPHEN'S, WALBROOE.-It is much to be regretted that the church has been covered with compo, end that the old house at the corner of Charlotte-row and Wal brook, on the north side of the tower, is allowed to remain. By its removal, an entrance to the church from that public and more convenient street might be made, which would show the tower to far greater advantage, and terminate the vista from the Poultry. About once a month we receive a letter urging the desirableness of removing this house, not merely in point of appearance, but because of the risk of fire to which the church is in consequence subjected, and we do hope that before long this improvement will be madei— Builder. ------- THE PAPER. Dunes. —At a meeting of the Bir mingham Town Council yesterday ? Mr. Alderman Baldwin, in a long speech full of facts and interesting details, moved the adoption of a petition to Parliament, praying for the re peal of the duties on paper and advertisements, and also the newspaper stamp. Mr. C. Sturge secon d e d th e motion. Some difference .of opinion was expre sse d a s to the proper mode of proceed ing, and as to whether s u ch a movement ought not to originate with the merchants and traders of the town. Ultimately, however, Alderman Baldwin's petition was carried almost unanimously, and Mr. Scholefield, ILI'. , requested to present it to the House of Commons.
