The union of forethought with in genuity —of comprehensive method with inflexible perseverance was never more eminently displayed—and that, happily, in a couse , of the highest and most catholic utility. The " Post Office three tory" has now become a metropolitan necessity. The gallery of volumes which have been published exhibit, in the gross, a me morable and curious monument of private industry; while to the statist they untold, with a plain and naked truth, the gradual deve lopment of the resources, both personal and commercial, of the greatest capital of Europe. Rivalry has long since been extinguished by the great superiority of the present publication; and it is as well that it should be so, for the editors affirm, with reason, in their prefaee, that when " patronage was divided between books which were, or should have been, counterparts of each other, the public had to pay more than they need have done, and, besides, to submit to inferior productions ; the to al receipts not being sufficient to sustain two Directories of London• each as complete as the present." The rivals alluded to have, however, not been with out their use. They have, no doubt, stimulated the proprietors of the " Post Office Directory" to that kind of prompt and vigilant exertion from which perfection alone can spring ; and we , have now a book of reference as unique in its characteristics as in its worth. The diyisions of the book are the same as they have hitherto been. The separate Directories amount to twelve ; by v. hich arrangement any particular search may be achieved, either by reference to the name of the person sought for, the street he lives in, or the occupa tion he follows. We have, thus, a Directory of Government officials ; of streets ; of tradesmen ; of trades ; of law ; of fashion ; of Parliament ; of the Post Office ; of the City ; of conveyances ; of banking-houses ; and of the assurance offices. These are again subdivided where necessary; and every conceivable facility Is afforded to the inquirer, by means of sectional indices, &c., to save both his time and trouble. Bat we need not farther particularise. The " fifty-third publication" of the " Post Office Directory" more than equals any of its numerous predecessors; and when we say this, the amount of labour bestowed upon it, the diversity of its classifications, the variety of its information, and its uniform exact ness, will be at once appreciated. Every sort of specific knowledge that it concerns the merchant, the trader, the professional man, the idler, or the artisan, to be acquainted with, may here be found ; and that the corrections come down to the latest date, may be inferred from such entries as the elections of Lord Duusandle and Captain Duncombe, both of which took place no further back than the 7th instant. the first week ill October. But we have said enough to commend a volnme which we cannot but regard as a marvel of compilation most creditable to every one engaged in its production, and which has doutstlesa now become indispensable to all that have ever had occasion habitually to resort to it.

SPECTATOR, OCTOBER 18, 1851. That gigantic volume, " The Post °face Directory," maintains its character as a fitting representative of the largest city in the world ; excelling all books in bulk, as London excels In towns. And as the Metropolis contains varloua other 'districts besides the City, so does the Directory contain many directories, yet all an swering some specific purpose. There is the " Official Directory"— and, by-the-bye, it Is curious to see how often the same name oc curs together, as if public employment were too good a thing to let out of the family. There is tl.e "Street Directory," where we may find the man if we know his residence, bet have forgotten his name ; the " Commercial Directory," where we may find the name if the residence has escaped us ; then there are the " Trades'," " Law," and " Banking" Directories, where it is possible to bunt up a man if we know his vocation, but cannot, without assistance, recall either his name or address. There are also other directing classi fications —as Court, Parliamentary, Conveyance, Postal ; forming an unparalleled work, which, however, has been three-and-fifty years growing to its present size. The present volume appears early; the demand, erring to the influx of strangers, consequent upon the Great Exhibition, having exhausted the current edition ter 1851 ; and what would London be without a Directory ? Great exertions, tis stated, have been madelo.bring down the changes to the latest moment; as a preef of it, the alterations consequent upon the death of Lord Liverpeol may be instanced. The letters by the Kafirland post report everything to be quiet in that vicinity. We understand at some of the smaller outposts the soldiers are suffering from want of proper and regular supplies. At Fort Cox, for an int ti ta t n h ee e , they are much troubled with the scurvy, none biscuit.

To those who are anxious, with ourselves, to believe ILLUSTRATED LONDON _NEWS, Omura 25, 1851. The Great Exhibition has had Its effect upon the sale of this leviathan Directory, and has helped to exhaust the year's edition sooner than usual. We are not surprised at this, seeing that the London season has been one unbroken round of visits ; and an un precedently large number of persons has flocked to the metropolis, the majority requiring the class of Information so well conveyed in the " Post Office London Directory." Accordingly, the volume for the coming year has been produced thus early; it maintains the hies character of the series for accuracy, appropriate classification, and ready reference• The corrections of the Peerage, and other lists, have been made to the latest possible period ; and altogether, the work is recommended, as heretofore, by its ' completeness in every department, attainable only by the proprietor's long course of experience and popularity. that the judges of the superior courts are actuated by a real desire to discharge their duties uprightly, and to give full and fair effect to the enactments of the Le gislature, one or two events which have recently occurred in Westminster Hall must appear painfully inexplicable.

Kelly produce their " Post Office Directory" renders competition useless. -6uali a: work contains no matter of opinion, and advocates no particular interest. If the Messrs. Kelly do their duty well, and spiritedly, what more can be desired? We only want a Directory that is as fbll, as accurate, and as complete, up to the time, as possible. Now, as far as our know ledge of the Directory extends—and from our making frequent use of it we know a good deal about it—we think the work is admir ably kept up. In the present edition is found the very latest infor mation, and the whole of the work bears evidence that the greatest degree of attention is paid to its proper production. For some time past the " Post Office Directory" has had no competitor. During this time it has been a better work than it ever was before. The absence of competition, producing increased gains, seems to have enabled the work to reach its maximum merit. The present edition makes an earlier appearance than usual, whlch,we believe, is due to the Great Exhibition having created " a ran" upon the Directory. HOUSEHOLD NARRATIVE.

This is the fifty-third annual publication Post Office Lon don Directory ; and if untiring enterprise or unerring.accuracy in the collection of materials, or unequalled yin the classification afterwards, so as to afford the greatest ingenuit possible amount of informa tion in the smallest possible amount of space, be is the " wort Post hy of being nlocon sidered a work of ar t and industry, then Office Lon Directory" a work of art and industry quite worthy of a foremost place in the Great Exhibition, and then should the Messrs. Kelly have awared to them a mark of honorary distinction for te pro duction of this unsurpassed and un surpassable production. It is the microcosm of the' tr etropolis of the world ; no information concern, its - i n g London, its inh abitants, its topography, its pub buildings institutioniat its palaces. its docks, its trade, and its commerce, can by bility be required, which Post Office Directory" can not At once supply. To the commercial man it is invaluable, for not en& abes it supply the names and addresses of the heads -of tiros, but the name of every junior partner in every firm is to be -found in the proper alphabetical position of his own name, and with reference to the firm. The work is illustrated by an accurate Map of London, corrected up to the present moment, and drawn upon , a scale of three inches to the mile; in this Map the position of everyone of the new streets recently built in London or the suburbs, is shows accu rately laid down; and we find, on reference to the Map, that it the positions of many streets which are scarcely yet completed. It is classified, as usual, into an " Official Directory," a " Street Directory." a "Commercial Directory," a " Trades' Dirge lors.r ..._ a "Law _Directory," a " Court Directory," a „ Pat• llamentary --iateeeterg," es- e•-restai.eDireetery."-La.K.slaw Diegio: tory," a '• Conveyance Directory," and a " Banking Directory." It furnishes also full and accurate information regarding the various assurance and other joinst-stock companies, and the latesThe t man of informa tion w ith regard to the recent postal arrangements. fashion haswn in the " Court Directora," that the same minute accuracy een observed, and the same untiring diligence exer cised, in procuring information relating to the fashionable world, as has been exercised in compiling, arranging, and classifying the commercial portion of. this great encycloptedia of the metro polis ; whilst, to the _ politician, the " Official" and the " Parlia mentary" Directories furnish all the information he can desire on the subjects of which they treat. This information is brought down to the latest moment. It was only on the 7th instant that Lord Dunsandle leed an Irish Representative Peer, to ffil up the vacancyoccasioned by the death of the Earl of Charleville, and that the electors of the East Riding eie Yorkshire returned Captain Duneombe as their representative, in the room of the late Mr. Broadley ;both these changes appear in the present edition of the Directory ; and the present Lord Stafford, who only succeeded to the title about a week since, appears as the Peer. with Christian and Surname at length. In the list of Peers appears the full Chrlstian and Surname of the present Earl of month;Doughmore, who only succeeded to the title in the course ot last o whilst, in the " Postal Direetery,",at page 1,761, the accele ration of the delivery of the papers by day mail appears, under the head " Delivery of Letters in London ;" the first day on which all the mails arrived, so as to admit of the complete carrying out of the rrangement, being Saturday last, the llth ult. The proprietor is fully justified in his belief that this work has kept pace with the re quireme reface metropolis to which it is devoted, and he explains in his p how he has been able to accomplish this great labour, and to bring the work to its present high state of per fection. . lle says :—" Accuracy and appropriate classification, so that everything which may reasonably be expected in such a book, may not only be found, but found without difficulty, are indispen sable to perfection. These advantages can, in any Directory, only be attained gradually, and not completely, until the work enjoys the entire circulation. While rivals existed, patronage was divided between books which were, or should have been, coun terparts of each other ; the public, therefore, had to pay more than they need have done, and, besides, to submit to inferior pro ductions ; the total recelpta not being sufficient to sustain two Directorio of London, each as complete as the present.. This is quite certain ; as, for the many years during wh eh this work has enjoyed the entire circulation, its profits would breve paid but a small proportion of the expense necessary to the production of another equally complete. A second Directory of London would be about as prudent an undertaking as a second railroad to Brighton; all the expen ses would have to be incurred a second time for the sa me objects ; and it must be manifest, that i f both p aid their ex penses, the profits on two capitals, instead of one, m ust be paid by the public. The present state of this work is a sufficient forgoneprf ef the advantage to the public—of their having to pay but collection of the information —one compilation—one setting of the type, &c. &c. This volume, to say nothing of accuracy, classifica tion, and general arrangement, contains about double the quantity of mere letter-press contained in the closing volarne of its latest annual competitor, and is published at a lower price. There can, therefore, be no question that the public, as well as the proprietor of the 'Post Office London Directory,' benefit by the circumstance that the work has been so long without any competition. Firmly established as this Directory is in public favour, it can only be ne cessary that an amount of diligence equal to that which has led to so gratifying a result, be continued, in order to sustain it ; on this the public may, with confidence, rely." Judging of the future by the past, we confidently rely on the energy, the abilities, the talent, and tile resources of Messrs. Kelly, and believe that for years to come the " Post Office London Directory" will continue to enjoy, because it will deserve, time undivided patronage of the pubic. --- TIMES, OCTozEit 21, 1851. Far-seeing sages have been busy prophesying all manner of results from the Great Exhibition. We have one before us—one which none of ed them ever dreamed of. The Great Exhibition, amid the onder f u l effects it produc, exhausted the Post Office Di rother w e " for 18 51 ; and leit the whole commercial world of London rectory should be left without its guide and friend, the proprietors of that valuable work have at this unusually early period issued their volume for the year that is to come. Armed with this infallible weapon— for, indeed, its accuracy is so great as to deserve the name as much as anything of the kind—one may pierce the remotest fastnesses of London, and count its Smiths, Jonesos, Johnstone, and Browns. For one who bas the time it is worth while to scrutinise the amasing cor rectness with which this volume discriminates the whole mass of London life into some 2,500,000 names, and how it depicts and takes to pieces the minutest works or the vast machine that fills the valley of the Thames. The book is one of our standing wonders. In utility, excellence of typography, care, and trustworthiness, it can not be surpassed; and not the least remarkable feature about it is the very recent ch anges recorded in its pages. For instance. here in this volume of more than 2,000 pages, which was printed on the 13th of October, we find inserted in the " Parliamentary Directory," at PP. 1,738 and 1,749, the name of the Hon. Captain A. Duneombe, R.N., who was elected as Member for the Eas t Riding only six. d a ys previously— amply, on the 7 th of O c t o ber ; and in page 40, in the list of the Privy Council Office, the name of Lord Liverpool is struck out, though his death was not recorded in the " Times" till the 6th of Octtoober. Toth] t enure mmer cial world it wo uld be quite as necessary deliveron the general benefits of sunshine, as to speak of the merits of the " Directory," and to all Londoners who want to know anything of the world they live in it is inestimable. The present volume is dis tinguished by the same internal and external advantages as those which have so long characterised its predecessors. [The fact above adduced, that in the " Directory" the name of Lord Liverpool, whose death had been recorded only on the 6th of October, was struck their page 40, in the list of Privy Council, is a happy illustration of th apidity with wilels the information con tained is the work is compiled and published. So striking an example of the excellenee of the „Directory" has naturally eau- ed some comment; and the present appears a fitting opportunity of calling attention to the entire facts of the ease :—An Earl, who is a Privy Councillor, appears in the " Post Office London Directory," Ist, in the list of Privy Council; 2d, in the " Street Directory 1" 3d, in the " Court Directory ;" 4th, in the list of Earls sth, in the Alphabetical list of Peers ;huh, in the Alphabetical list of the Surnames of Peers ; 7th, in te titles of the Eldest Sons of Peers. The corrections, rendered necessary by the death of tile Earl of Liverpool, only recorded on the 6th of October, were actually carried into five ese seven parts (the two others having before been printed off), intoa Work consisting of 2,000 Imperial Octavo pages ; and the book was printed, bound, and distributed, so that the Reviews of it in the newspapers commenced on the 14th of the same month. Although we believe that it is not possible to adopt mea sures which shall ensure greater promptitude or accuracy, we should not have called public attention to a matter which, with our ar rangements, is a mere thing of course, but for comments which have been made on this particular point. It was en account of the acknowledged impo,ssibility of competing with our arrangements that tile Proprietors of ' Robson's Directory" took leave of their sub scribers in the following terms : " Bowtrell and Co., Proprietors and Publishers of ' Robson's London Directory' beg to acquaint their subscribers, that with the volume for the present year that work has terminated. " It has been found impOssible longer to contend with the ' Post Office Directory,' a work combining large capital, with un equalled resources ef every kind requisite for the proper production of a Directory of the metropolis. These advantages place that work on tench an elevation that further competition w ith it wo od be as injurious to Bowtell and Co. as it would be unjust to their subscribers ." rat forth, the arrangements under which the A n d since this wa s p " Post Office Directory" are conductea have, as is well known, been very mater i a lly strengthened.—Editors of "Yost Offic e London Directory.")

Good classification, and i nce ssant care in marking alterations, are the essential quales a Directory; and both these qualities this Directory has seful of to per fection. _____ MORNING HERALD, Ocxoazx 17, 1851. The punctuality with which this huge record makes its appearance at the close of the year is not one of its least recommendations. Certainly, it is proof that the diligence :and energy which have always characterised its production experiences no ab dement, notwithstandiug the perpetual extensio., of the field of labour, an d the vast increase of those details which an insidiously-growing population must necessarily generate. We have often before been called upon to compliment the enterprise of the proprietors, and wo have little to add upon the present occasion. Every one who has been in the habit of turning to the " Post Office Directory," is awa re of its faultless accuracy; and to praiseit on this score is superfluous . The changes to which such a multitude of localities are exposed by the accidents of life, are duly provided for; and we can but marvel at the excellence and completeness of the machinery by which the entire SUMO of Louden Id annually explored, and every ohiftilig MORNING POST, OCTOBER 22, 1851. This remarkable volume has attained its fifty-third year, and now contains 2,085 closely printed pages. In this immense mass of in formation, the most searching scrutiny will find nothing useless or unnecessary ; and the extreme accuracy which is observable in the most minute details, renders the "Post Office London Directory' one of the marvels 'Of the age. Its early publication is accounted for by the circumstance that the edition for 1851 Is out of print. and the proprietors have taken great care that all necessary cor rections should be made up to the latest moment. We have been at some pains to test the accuracy of the present edition, by reference to instances of recent change within our own knowledge, and in no single case have we foiled any mistake. The insertion of Lord Dunsandle, whose election took place in September, amongst the Irish representative Peers, and the alterations rendered necessary by the death of Lord Dououghmore, on the 12th September, are two, amongst many, proofs of the diligence and care with which this in valuable work has been prepared. Even the miner official changes, such as the appointment of Queen's counsel, police magistrates, and the like, are also noted with unfailing correctness. The arrange ment and distribution of the several parts of the work afford the utmost facilities for reference ; so that the labyrinth of this vast metropolitan population is threaded as readily as the population of the most insignificant village, and official situations, trades, profes sions, residences, as easily discovered. It is not surprising that such a work, so useful to all, and so indispensable to those engaged in business, should find a demand proportioned to the labour bestowed upon it. It has now, we conceive, reached the highest pitch of perfection of which such a production is capable; and it will unques tionably continue to receive that large share of public patronage by which it has hitherto been deservedly supported. Not even the Great Exhibition itself could convey to foreigners a grander or more just idea of the vast resources of British capital and enterprise; and certainly no guide book in the world could give half as accurate a notion of the wealth, industry, and pursuits of the Londoners as is contained in this imposing and instructive - volume. The obligation which the public owe to Messrs. Kelly is certainly not confined to the mere counting house utility of their labours. They have collected an amount of statistical information, the quantity of which is only evened by its value; and it affords us sincere pleasure to bear cur testimony to the merits of their present edition. MORNING ADVERTISER, OCTOBER 22, 1851. The fifty-third annual impression of this wonderful and ever increasing book is before us. On the present occasion it is marked by a more early appearance than usual—a proof of increased dili gence in compiling the immense lists of names, trades, and profes sions, as well as a further enhancement of its *value and accuracy. For it must be evident, upon reflection, that the nearer in point of time to the completion of information so varied, evanescent, and perpetually changing, the issue of the work containing it shall be, so will its faithfulness be incre ased. Death, bankruptcy, retirement, sales, emigration, mere removal, prevent the permanency of such information, in the recency cf which lies its whole value. Now, living ourselves in this current of change, and of necessity observant of many mutations, we have applied to the " Pc.st Office Directory" the severest of tests, by a reference to a few of the most recent fluc tuations in the world of Londortand of commerce. This it has stood triumphantly. In this vast mass of matter (over 2,000 pages), In all parts of the ponderous volume, is the same actuality of present truth. fulness. Official appointments and promotions, changes of firms, removals, alterations of postal times, of mail routes and arrivals, of steam-packets, the evictions and changes consequent upon street widening:, &c., Roc., are all noted, so as, hi poetic phrase, to " Fix the flying Cynthia of the minute ;" or, rather, to render, so far as modern Babylon is concerned, " the very age and body of the time, its form and pressure." Among the notabilla of the world's metropolis, this record of its actual state is one of the most useful and wondrous. DAILY NEWS, OCTOBER 14, 1851. The " Post Office Directory" for 1852 has been pql#Lshed, un usually early this year. The portly volume is now before us. The proprietors thus explain their reasons for this earlier issue of their volume :—" The Exhibition having occasioned a demand greater than usual, the edition for the current year became exhausted; to prevent the inconvenience of the work being out of print, every exertion has been made to produce the new edition at the earliest period compatible with accuracy." That this has not been sacrificed to speed, a scrutiny will amply show; and in proof that the cor rections haveheen made to the latest possible period, they instance the acceleration of papers by the day mail, under the head of "delivery of letters in London," at page 1761. The ft lit day en which the malls arrived so as to admit of the complete carrying out of the arrangement was on Saturday last, the 11th instant. The insertion, too, in the " Parliamentary Directory" of the Christian names of the present Lord .Stafford, whose father's death was an nounced on the 6th instant, is another instance, among several which might be adduced tO show how closely the corrections have .been made up to the moment of issue. GLOBE, OCTOBER 18, 1851. Among the many interests affected by the Great Exhibition is that of the " London Directory;" the demand for the edition of 1851 being so great, in consequence of the crowds congregating to the metropolis, that it was deemed advisable to have an early publica tion of that for 1852. The comparatively early appearance of the work will, however be found to have derogated little, If at all, from its accuracy and excellence, as every change that has taken place up to the last few days is carefully recorded in its pages. As in stances, we may state that the Hon. Arthur Duncombe is given as the Member for the East Riding of Yorkshire, for which county he was elected as late as the 7th instant ; and that the present Lords Stafford and Bolingbroke are named as the possessors of their re spective titles, although they succeeded to them only within the cur rent month. In every respect the edition for 1852 is quite equal to its predecessors. Indeed, when one considers the immense amount of intormation in the work—the perfect accuracy which charac terises it—and the excellent classification adopted, by which any piece of information required can•be pounced on in a moment, the " London Directory" seems little short of a marvellous work, and one which could only have been IPA together by the most indefati gable perseverance and scrupulous care. It would have been indeed worthy of a place in that noble collection of the monuments of the industry and intelligence of the world, which we have but a day or two since looked on for the last time. STANDARD, OcTon= 21, 1851. The fifty-third annual publication of this extraordinary volume is now before us. The projector of such an opus magnum must have been a bold man, but no one can observe its singular completeness without coming to the conclusion that it has been the work of many years to bring to perfection such a guide-book to the first city in the work. The labour and diligence which must have been bestowed on Messrs. Kelly's book is quite inconceivable, and the proprietors must be gratified that their efforts have been appreciated by the r übl;c. Every merchant's house, every place of business in London, or even in the country, has its " Post Office London Directory." The enormous circulation thus attained has enabled the proprietors to offer it for sale at a price that no book less universally purchased could be sold for. Upwards of two thousand closely-printed pages, comprising the most extensive and miscellaneous information in one volume, and sold at the price at which it is offered, Is a triumph of skill and diligence of which the proprietors may well feel proud. They who look further, may see, in the success of the " London Post Office Directory," the foreshadowing of results yet more im portant to the community even than the accurate knowledge of the Persons, occupations, and things, so skilfull y sary t set befo recommend the s in this vo lume, of the busy metropolis. It is unneces " Directory ;" such a book is always itself its own best recom mendation. SIIIPPING AND MERCANTILE GAZETTE, OCTOBER 18, 101. The annual volume of this stupendous work appears with pre scriptive punctuality. The plan originally laid down is carried out with increased completeness in the publication for 1852, which, like its predecessors, is a signal monument of method, enterprise, and per severance. It is not possible that any work devoted to London and its statistics can furnish so clear and definite a record of the per sonal and commercial contents of the metropolis as this mammoth book, the swelling bulk of which denotes that it keeps pace with the increase of population and the several developments of industry. No one can turn over its pages without being struck with the im mensity of labour which its compilation must have entailed upon those engaged in it. Every line is the record of a specific fact—a fact in every case liable to change, and, consequently, involving periodical Justification throughout. The machinery devised by the Messrs. Kelly for securing this annual revision is now as perfect as it Ls possible to make it ; and the corrections are brought down to the latest date. The separate Directories embrace the usual fields o finfo.rmation. Trades and tradesmen, professionals and officials, streets and conveyances, banking-houses and post offices, are here regulated to their particular heads, and, besides the mere catalogue of names, enriched with every sort of collateral information which the exigencies of business or curiosity may require. Our former commendations may be repeated now. The accuracy aimed at by the editors half a century ago has been severely tested since the book has been in existence; and it not only repels accusation on this score, but challenges fresh panegyric as every succeeding volume emerges from the press. The counting-house of the merchant and the trader could now as ill spare the almanack as the "Post Office Directory." WEEKLY DISPATCH, OCTOBER 19, 1851. It is difficult to remark upon a work that, presenting the same phases, has so often laid claim to public notice and patronage. The fifty •third annual volume is now before us ; and, as heretofore it embodies (certainly in a very bulky form) an amount of usefldin formation which might be sought lor in vain at any other source. It is, in fact, as the preface states, a " hand-book to the commerce of the first commercial city in the world." As usual, the volume contains, among other information, an "Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Directory," a " Court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a " Postal Di rectory," a "City Directory," a "Conveyance Directory," a "Bank ing Directory," and a finely-executed Map of London and its en virons. The work, alike indispensable to the commercial man and to individuals unconnected with trade, reflects great credit upon the proprietor for his industry and untiring perseverance, and is an ho nour to the country in which it appears.

EXAMINER, OcTosita 18, 1851. Mr. Kelly's giant Directory takes the field a month earlier than usual this year. This is accounted for by the fact of the great de mand for last year's impression consequent on the crowds at the Great Exhibition; and certainly our visitors could not do better than resort to Mr. Kelly's compilation for a proper impression of the magnitude and wonders of the city they were visiting. We possess no other record of them to compare with it. Two thousand closely printed pages of streets, trades, professions, and persons, express better than the most eloquent phrases what a mighty mass of human beings are now congregated in the spot called London, and what in finitely vast varieties of human existence and interests have come to be comprised within that name. Often we have had occasion to say, and may now repeat, that this book of Mr. Kelly's is not one, but a dozen Directories. Its clear and su,cinct arrangement adapts it to the use of every class that may be supposed likely to have need of such information. There is a Street Key," of nearly 500 pages, containing the names of more than a hundred thousand people. There is an Alphabetical Directory, containing in the same number of pages nearly the same number of names. There is a classification of more than two thousand trades. There is a Court Guide to some 25,000 of what are called the gentler classes. There is a Law Guide ; a Parliamentary Guide; a Guide to all the Public Offices; a Directory of Post- Towns and Postages all over the world; a list of all the chief hotels and inn throughout the country ; and, under separate Directories, whatever a person can be supposed to have any need to know re specting city buildings, companies, churches, chapels, publications, m id agencies, or about assurance companies, banking houses, and conveyances of all kinds from, to, or ire .the metropolis. A mass of various matter so unexampled in bulk and extent depends obviously upon arrangement, and facility and completeness of reference, for its practical worth and value ,'in a readily available sense, The b oo k before us seems quite a Model of such arrangement. It con tains nothing that may not at once be found—not w street, trade, profession, or person, which the easiest search does not bring into v iew, and, as far as we have been able to judge, with unerring ac curacy. Though it is hardly the middle of October when we have before us complete, we yet find proofs of a scrupulous cor irt now eclneSilof revision that must have dated so recently as the Clitfle Of BELL'S WEEKLY CHRONICLE, 00Toms 25, 1851. We have, on more than one occasion, expressed our opinion of the merits of this voluminous and astonishing work, the fifty-third annual impression of which is now before us. By most of our n;tercantile and trading readers, the work is known to be too useful, and is also too highly prized, to render a word of commendation from us necessary; but, as itis possible that (Me parties engaged in business may not hitherto have possessed the volume, we can only say, that to understand its value they must examine the work for themselves—a work which is alike remarkable for the vast mass of information which it contains, and for the admirable manner in which that information is arranged. JOIIN BULL, OcTosta 25, 1851. The accelerated sale of the last edition of this stupendous reper tory of Liindon statistics, occasioned by the Great Exhibition, has Induced the enterprising publishers somewhat to anticipate the usual period of annual republication. In doing this, great pains have been taken to bring down the alterations to the very latest date, as is attested by the fact that the result of the recent election for the East Riding, and the succession to the Earldom of Stafford, both having occurred within the present month are duly registered. The Map, likewise, kee; - s pace In its enlargements with the additions which are being made in every direction to the houserooms of the metropolis. Of the abstract merits of Messrs. Kelly's publication it is unnecessary for us to speak ; we can only reiterate the opinion which we have before expressed—that the volume is one of the most comprehensive, most complete, and well digested, and, for its size, one of the cheapest manuals of reference ever offered to the public. ATLAS, OCTOBER 18, 1851 The "fifty-third edition" of a work would scarcely appear to re quire a al itical notice, and yet this fifty-third edition of the " Post Office Directory," is so essentially a new book, that it is impossible to allow its publication to pass over without bestowing on it a larger share of a tention than any mere new edition of an established work could possibly demand. Like the great metropolis, this Direc tory has, year by year, increased in value and importance ; year by year the number of individuals it enumerates, classifies, and de scribes, has become larger and the book more bulky ; in the same proportion the care and labour necessary for its eareffil production have increased; and yet every year has seen it in some degree better than its predecessor, ani more valuable to the public. It is no slight praise to say that the present edition of the " Post Office Directory" is an improvement on the last. The competition with which Mr. Kelly is threatened, appears to have determined him to produce a volume which shall defy all rivalry, and it will be a diffi cult task for a publisher to bring out a work which can in any way compare with it foi! accuracy, classification, and price. There appears to be nothing wanting in this Directory to render it com plete of its kind. During the number of years we have used it for reference, we have never met with an error in it of any magnitude, or one which affected its great usefulness, and if it is continued with the same skill which has marked its editorship while it has been in the hands of Mr. Kelly, we tbink he may safely trust to its well known excellence to protect him against the consequences of any competition. - Ocro MINING JOURNAL, liza 25, 1851. Tie fifty-third annual edition of this useflilvrork has just appeared, and judging from its contents, is by no means inferior to its prede cessors, and fully sustains the reputation it has so well earned, as being the only correct key to the names and addresses of the se veral trades and professions in this vast metropolis. As a work of reference, it is decidedly most useful and necessary to the man of business. No banking or merchants' office should be without it. A smaller edition has likewise been published, which, though not so comprehensive as the larger, contains an immense mass of useful in— formation ; and both the works are eminently entitled to the name of " handbooks to the commerce of the first commercial city in the world." LITERARY GAZETTE, OCTOBEE 18, 1851. One of the first symptoms of the decling year is presented in the publication of the fifty-third edition of the " lost Office London Di rectory." Mr. Kelly is the first in the field, wth his very neat and ponderous volume, comprising upwards of two thousand very closely-printed pages ; and his machinery is so well organised, that he is enabled, with astonishing facilty, to comet every department of it to within a few days, of its publication. What a model for Mr. Panizzl, for the publication of a printed cat►logue of the books in the British Museum, is the construction of Ws eminently, useflil volume." BRITANNIA, OcToazz 18, 1851. LONDON AS IT IS. London is a wide labyrinth. in which those who are uninitiated in its topographical intricacies must, without the aid of guide or clue, become hopelessly bewildered. Every years adds thousands and tens of thousands to the enormous amount of its population. Squares, streets, and terraces, which world elsewhere constitute flourishing cities, are periodically annexed to its already unequally extent of buildings, and it is impossible to calculate the breadth of area which its encroaching wings threaten eventually to overshadow with their vastness. If its ratio of increase in respect of extent, during the ensuing century, shall equal what it was itvtho last, the surface of the county in which it stands will be too circumscribed to contain its limits. Its inhabitants, who in the reign of Queen Anne numbered only three hundred thousand, have increased by the last census to nearly two millions and a half—a population equal to that of the whole of Scotland; and when we reflect that these teeming num bers are ail domiciled, clothed, and fed, in this human hive , the sumptuary arrangements necessary for th e purpose seem almost ii comprehensible to the human mind. Yet such is the extraordinary elasticity of our external and internal resources, that the supply has always kept pace with the demand, and the daily wants of the two millions and a half of human beings who are sheltered and fed in our capital, are supplied with an ease and a regularity unknown In the days when London contained but a tenth part of its present population. A survey of the number of the "Post Office London Directory" for the year 1852, width has Just been publishel, will give some notion of the difficulty which the numerous fo rei g ners and strangers in London, who have lately been sojourning amongst us, would have experienced in tracing amongst these thousands o streets, and almost countless thousands of inhabitants, the desig nation and abodes of their friends and entertainers, but for the timely aid of some such accurate and comprehensive record. The mind can scarcely realise to itself a position of greater perplexity and difficulty, than that of a stranger to our land and our language, launched for the first time, without guinance of any kind, in the bewildering mazes of our metropolitan streets. Oar English no menclature sounds so strangely to continental ears, that, without an interpreter, an Italian, or a Spaniard, in confabulation with a cab man or omnibus conductor, would have as much chance of mutual intelligence, as with the denizen of another planet. To such, then, the study of a faithful record of all that mighty London, in its multitudinous' divisions and subdivisions, contains, will be of incal culable advantage. That which seems, when viewed en masse, to be of a complexity utterly inextricable, through the ingenious arrange ments of oar Court: Guides and London Directories, among which Kelly's the oldest and the best, has been made easy of comprehen sion to all who can read the Roman character. The foreigner, with this Directory in his hand, while he contemplates with wonder both the size of the volume and the amount of information it contains, will admire the judicious node of compilation, by the assistance of which he is enabled to thread his way through the labyrinth of streets, to single out all that is most worthy of his observation, and to form a comprehensive notion of the statistics, wealth, power, and extent of the first city of the world.

FATAL EXPLOSION DARTFORD, WEDNESDAY Ishour.--During the last twenty-four hours this town and the surrounding dis trict have been most painfully excited in consequence of an explosion, involving the destruction of the lives of seven human beings, having occurred in a rocket factory, situate on Joyce's-green, some 300 or 400 yards from Dartford. It seems that a few weeks since a gentleman named Callow had taken up his abode in a large farmhouse, occupied some time since by Mr. Wigman, one of the contractors of the North Kent Railway. Shortly after Mr. Callow came into possession of the premises he commenced manufacturing blasting-rockets or fusees, in a timber building on the estate. The building in ques tion, from the ruins which remain on the ground, appears to have been something like forty feet long, and certainly not more than thirty feet wide, and was covered in with a thatched roof. On Tuesday evening eight persons were at work therein, independently of several others whose business only occasionally call them there. Shortly after four o'clock the whole town, and, indeed, every inhabitant living 'withiri a circle of five or six miles, was dreadfully alarmed by a report far surpassing in violence a discharge of artillery. The building used for the manufactory was levelled with the ground. Head, legs, hands, and feet were found scattered over the ground. The body of a man named Haggard was found with the whole of the clothing consumed, portions of the flesh stripped, and the brains protruding. The remains of as many tta five persons were soon collected together, and two of the :unfortunate workpeople were picked up alive. One had both his arms broken, and the other had hie legs and thighs fractured, the eyes blown out, and the lower portion of the trunk also badly injured. One was named James Goldsmith, and the other was a woman, supposed to be named Brown. The poor man lingered only for an hour and a half. The unfortunate woman only lived half an hour. From the inquiry made this afternoon by Mr. Webb, the coroner's officer, it appears that at the time of the fatal explosion there were either in or about the factory ten persons, and the following is a correct list of them : Frederick Haggard, a carpenter, not hurt. William Harrison, from London, a miner and head foreman, dead. Thomas Nash, also from London, foreman over the " fillers," dead. Christopher Haggard, foreman over the women; whose business was to insert the rockets or fuzees into the gutta percha tubes, killed. Joseph Loft, late of London, a filler, dead. James Goldsmith, a pincher off of the gutta percha tubing, dead. Miss Sarah Kempton, otherwise Mrs. Goodeve, killed. Mrs. Brown, killed. George Weller, a carpenter, severely injured by the explosion. John Poole, the varnish-maker, who was standing at the side of the fireplace, uninjured. Alfred Smallbone, one of the clerks, whe had just left the factory, not hurt. th o Vr al i a o m u t r y u . m o co u n r e s a p r e e rs a o fi n o w at h a o s w t a o s at th e w p o r r ee i s n e t c h a e u p s e lac o e it f attributed to the carelessness of one of the female suf ferers, who, he states, was married on Sunday last; and, Tuesday being her birthday, she promised the men half a-gallon of beer if they would allow her to fill one of the cases. They acceded to her request, and, while filling the tube, ho imagined that she must have driven the charge in too- tight, for it exploded while the case was in her hand, and hence the catastrophe. In the hand of this unfortunate creature, notwithstanding that the body is blown into several portions, is to be seen, firmly clenched, ono of the rockets, to which is attached three or four inches of gutts peroha. Mr. Webb, who was in the factory not more than five minutes before the disaster happened, states, that while ho was present h e ne i t h er h e ard nor saw anything like what that person had stated. While he was in the place the various hands were at their several occupat ions, and, as he was leaving, ho noticed one of the men with a pot of bailing glue in his hand, and ho had barely time to place the liquid on the table when the explosion hap pened. Although an active search was made during Tuesday evening, the whole of the mangled remains of the unfor tunate sufferers could not be found, and it was not until this day at noon that some of the missing portions were collected. Two men went over the ground with a l arge basket, and succeeded in gathering together a number of hands, a woman's trunk with the bowels blown out, and several fingers. These were carefully collected together, removed to the union -house, and placed at the side of the other bodies. Up to balf-psat seven o'clock this evening (Wednes day) the coroner's warrant for summoning a jury had not arrived; it is therefore probable that the inquest will not be held until Friday, the coroner no doubt wishing to give as much time as possible for finding the missing portions of the other bodies. MURDER AND ROBBERY. A moat shocking murder was perpetrated, on Mon day evening, about half a mile from Priston, the victim being a man named George Bush, aged 36, a milkman, residing at Timabury. It appears that Bush, who is unmarried, left hie lodgings at Timabury about half-past ono o'clock on Monday morning, having, it is supposed, between 4/. and 5/, in his possession, for the purpose of attending an auction sale at Pristun (which is about two miles from Timabury), and promised his landlady (Mrs. Flower) that he would return early the same evening. Ile was seen at the sale; but wo are not aware that he purchased anything. When the sale was concluded, he went into a beer-house at Priston, called the Ring of Bells, and remained drinking there with several persona. Between eight and nine o'clock a dispute arose with him and his friends respecting the payment of a pint of beer, in the height of which Bush left to roturn to his own home. The direction taken by him is extremely lonely, leading through a field called " Cow Lees," the pathway of which slopes down into a dell, and skirts Priston Wood. Bush, however, did not return home during the night, and Mrs. Flower became very uneasy. Early in the morning she sent two of her children to look alter him, giving them instructions to go along the road by which he ususlly camo when returning from Priston. On ar riving at the Cow Lees, about eight o'clock in the morn ing, they were very much frightened at finding i th d e lo of un fortunate man lying near the footp at h , i n the ' md the field, with his throat cut in a most shocking manner. Tho children immediately convoye d the information to their mother, and in a short space of time several men were on the spot. When our reporter arrived in the afternoon, the body was still exposed i n t h e field, surrounded by a large concourse of person s , an d presented a most ghastly ap pearance. The woun d had evidently y been inflicted by a large sharp instrument, which had entered imme diately under th e chin, laying open the interior of the mouth, and extending round to each ear; the collar of the shirt being had tilled up the head w as a l a t; completely sev ere d i n two . Th e villains the wound w i t h grass . Underneath largo quantity o f blood, and a shoe t distan o Irons the body lay his hat and another pool of and the Lord Chieljustice Jervis have thought proper to act with reference to the power now vested in courts of justice of directing prosecutions for perjury. Our readers are possibly aware that, by an Act passed in the twenty-third year of the reign of George II , the justices of assize, nisi pries, and gaol delivery, were respectivoiy empowered :to order any witness who committed per jury in their presence to be prosecuted; and every such prosecution was directed to be carried on without the payment of any fees, either to the counsel who were assigned to conduct it, or to the officers of the court. These provisions, though salutary as far as they went, were obviously in sufficient to check the crime against which they wore aimed; for, first, the powers which they gave were con fined to the superior judges at common law—next, they only applied to cases where viva voce testimony was given—thirdly, they did not authorize the commitment of the guilty party—and lastly, they contained injudi cious regulations respecting costs. When, therefore, Lord Campbell undertook, in the present year, to pre pare a Bill for the amendment of criminal justice, it was thought expedient to extend the powers granted by the Act referred to; and a clause was consequently intro duced into the measure, which enacts, in substance, that any judge of one of the superior courts of common law or equity, any justice of assize, nisi prius, oyer and ter miner, or gaol delivery, any recorder, chairman, or other judge at quarter-sessions, any county court judge, any justices in special or petty sessions, or any sheriff or deputy-sheriff—" in case it shall appear to him or them that any person has been guilty of wilful and cor rupt perjury in any evidence given, or in any affidavit, . . deposition, - examination, answer, or other proceeding, undo or taken bofore him or them"—may "direct such person to be prosecuted for such perjury'', in case there .hall appear to him or them a reasonable cause for such prosecution." The court may also commit such person, unless he shall enter into recognizances to appear and take his trial—and may bind over any persons to pro - cute or give evidence against him, and may grant a cer tificate of the prosecution having been directed, which, except under very special circumstances, shall entitle the prosecutor to his costs. Now, it is imposOble to read either the clause just referred to, or that contained in the older statute, without perceiving that, under each Act, the judges are invest( d with a very delicate discretion, which must be exercised with great caution and for bearance. The law was not meant to be put in force whenever a witness swore to a fact which the jury t is believed, or whenever two witnesses gave different ver sions of the same transaction; but it was unquestionably intended that the judge himself should feel clearly con vinced that flagrant perjury had been committed by a witness before he should undertake to give directions for his prosecution. Indeed, the judges have uniformly acted in accordance with these views from 1750, when the Act of George 11. passed, down to the present year; and we doubt whether a single instance of a prosecution under the old law could be found, except in cases where the judge was fully persuaded that the witness had been telling deliberate falsehoods. No sooner, however, dons the new law come into operation, than new notions of judicial discretion are brought into active play, not, in deed, as against ordinary witnesses—for to them the Act has hitherto been a dead letter—but as against the par ties to the record, who are now rendered admissible wit nesses by Lord Brougham's admirable measure. Ac cording to Sir Samuel Martin, perjury is a crime of so detestable a character, especially in the mouth of a party to a suit, that every party must be put upon his trial if ho be so much as suspected of having committed that offence ; and proof of his guilt to the satisfaction of the committing judge seems wholly immaterial. The case in which this marvellous doctrine was acted upon was that of Hornidge v. Hawkins. An action was brought to recover 1141., the amount of an attorney's hill; and the defence was, that the plaintiff had never really acted as the defendant's attorney, but that the de fendant had employed the plaintiff's clerk, a man named Jordan, to attend to his business, and that the plaintiff had merely lent his name to this Jordan. Hornidge, Jordan, and Hawkins were all called as witnesses, and their testimony was so conflicting that, as Mr. Baron Martin observed, one, it not two, of the three had been guilty of the most corrupt perjury. The jury found a verdict fur the plaintiff, and the defendant was com mitted for trial. So far there was nothing to show that the judge had not exercised a proper discretion; but now comes the most remarkable part of the case. A day or two after the committal, the defendant's counsel applied to the Court for a new trial, on the ground that ' the verdict was against the weight of evidence. In the course of his argument the Learned Counsel referred to the con duct of the judge at the trial, and was remarking, very justly, that it would become a most serious matter if the result of a verdict being given against a party, who had himself been called as a witness, was to be his committal for perjury, when Mr. Baron Martin is reported to have interrupted him with the following astounding avowal:— " When the jury retired. I did not know which way I should have given the verdict had I been on the jury." lie subsequently observed, " I cannot say that I was dissatisfied with the verdict;" and then, after some further discussion, he added, " Perhaps the true solu tion of the matter was that Jordan deceived both par ties." We have nu hesitation in saying that, if this be a correct report—and we have no reason whatever to doubt its accuracy—Mr. Baron Martin has been guilty of very grave misconduct. It matters not, in the view we take of the subject, whether Hawkins be a guilty or an innocent man; but the question is, whether a judge can be justified in commit Ing a person for per jury when he is not himself satisfied that the individual has perpetrated that crime. We apprehend that there can be but one answer to such a question. The judge must act, not on the vicarious opinions of others, but on his own belief—and, even then, only when it is clear to him beyond all reasonable doubt that the party he is ab nit to commit has wilfully perjured himself. In any other view of the matter the discretion of the judge will be a mere tyranny, and statutes which were passed to promote the discovery of truth, will become the ready instruments of intolerable oppression. The conduct of Sir John Jervis, iu the case of Maher ley v. Shepherd, is scarcely less censurable than that of Sir Samuel Martin. That was au action brought by an ar chitect against an engineer, to recover 1601. as the value of certain drawings which the plaintiff had made for the defendant. 50/. had been paid into court ; and the question was, whether the drawings were of any greater value. At the close of the case, on some dis crepancy appearing between the testimony given by the two principals, the Chief Justice recalled the plaintiff, and cross-examined him as to his former statements— when ho gave evidence varying, as it would seem, in some respects, from what he had previously stated. The following colloquy between the judge and the plaintiff's counsel then took place:—Judge—" Mr. Stammers, can you make anything of this? Du you intend to address the jury?" Counsel—" Certainly, my Lord." Judge —" You mean, do you, to put your client in peril of the verdict?" Counsel—" My Lord, I certainly intend to take the verdict." Judge—" Very well, let an dicer see that the plaintiff does not leave the court." The counsel then lost his temper, and, like moat men under similar circumstances, talked sonl nonsense, daring the j u d ge to commit him aes well as the plaintiff.• When all this was over, judge summed up, a n d, a f ter declaring that .i th h e ,„ should bo most cautio us b e f ore ho infringed the liberty of the subject," he p rocee d ed to state that because ho had told th e p l a i ntiff to remain ain " it w as not m in court th a t the counsel had a r i g h t to assume that oin to commit him—it mi g h t b e that he he was g him some to ask him some question." The jury found for the def en d ant , an d the plaintiff wa s not committed . Now, it ;s just possiblethat, as the Chi e f Justice insinuates, , his Lordship directed the plaintiff to remain in court simply because ho wished t o question himifurther; but thr ( 3 l pr l o a c in eed m in ef ; has, unfortunately, a very ugly will, we f ear, b e much inclined ut toasrpeecgart; and the light of an atte mpt at intimidating the counsel. The judge may have wi s h e d t h e jury to believe that, when he warned the counsel against putting his client in peril, and ordered the officer to keep his eye upon the plaintiff, he had no idea of directing a prosecution for perjury; but we would cer t a i n l y advise Sir John Jervis to devise a mere probable story should he ever find himself in a witness -box, with twelve men of common sense as his jury, and Mr. Baron Martin as his judge.

Information has been received from General Somer set that a strong party of about 100 Kafirs and Hotten tots have entered this neighbourhood by the way o f D Bruin's Poort. We may, therefore, soon expect t o hear something of their doings. The various burgher o p sts have been warned of their presence.

The offer of Fake's daughter has, it is said, been accepted by of his pacific professions. Some fear is expressed for the missionary institution of Mount Coke, which is said by the hostile chiefs to stand in their way. Every endeavour is made to guard against 'surprise, as well as to meet attack, should it be made upon the institution. Et( inforvments, it will be seen, are slowly reaching the Commander -in -Chief, who is looking anxiously for the arrival of the Lancers and Rifles. The following extract ,f a letter before us contains the leading items of intelli gence from this quarter:— I " Sept. 24—On Sunday morning last Colonel Eyre left here in command of a party for the colony, to be sta tioned as circumstances may require. Ho and his de voted Hide band leave this with our best wishes for their safety and success. It was gratifying to witness the cordial reception he and his men received from Sir Harry on their last return from the colony, and no less was it. seeing that with their garments all ' tattered and torn' their spirits were as buoyant after their fatigues and dangers as ever. Sir Harry also spoke very feelingly to n B e 3 s n s d a i i s ! i t l o excite dl eothfaesi aluKs liaienido i sn the 2d Royals, who suffered so severely in the Fish River Bush. " On Monday a strong party left hue in command of Colonel Michel, with a train of ox and mule waggons— the former conveying supplies for Fort White, the latter for Fort Cox. Several private waggons had the benefit of the escort in conveying supplies to the above places. " The drafts for regiments serving on this command arrived here on Tuesday, about midday. They appeared to be about 300 strong, and are for the 73d, 74th 6th, and 91st. They were played in by th e b an d s o f the 2d and 6th Royals. The mounted corps styled ' Montagu's Horse,' are daily receiving additions to their number. They muster now about forty, but we learn many are about to leave next month, when their term of service will expire. The severe drought, which has told with such sad effect upon live stock, is wearing away. Beau tiful rains have fallen, causing the hills to wear their wonted appearance. "This day (Wednesday) the waggons returned from Forts White and Cox, having accomplished the journey in three days, to and from. Such zeal for the service is fatal to oxen while in such wretched condition. It is not very profitable to have waggons in commissary employ, as many who are receiving at the rate of 15s. per day, which is 221. per month, have been paying out 251. per month in the purchase of cattle to keep their waggons going, not taking into account pay and extras for ser vants, gen., &a Speculation, indeed ! where is it to be witn.-ased? Certainly not with traders or waggon pro prietors of this place. The libel published by the United Service Gazette and the Morning Chronicle with regard to traders here, is treated as it should be, with contempt." GENERAL SOMERSET'S DIVISION. An express reached town this morning from Major- General Somerset. By this opportunity we are in formed that a party of about 100 Kafirs and Hottentots have passed Juntje's Kraal into the colony. The Major- General cautions all persons to be on the alert, as this band of marauders may be hourly expected to com mence the dark work of their errand. With the posi dons now occupied by the troops, and the co-operation of the burghers, it is expected that these marauders will meet with their deserts. Their presence is, how ever, a warning to individuals not to attempt travelling in small parties, and to the camps to exercise the utmost vigilance. By this post private letters have been received, which state that a communication between the rebels had bsen intercepted. This admits that their loss in the engage ment on the Kromme heights with Colonel Fordyce's patrol, had been more severe than that in any other affair the enemy had had with the troops during the whole of the war. The communication likewise mated that the position of the hostile bands in Waterklcof was regarded by themselves as no longer unable.
