The classification of the various profes sions, trades, and callings in the court, commercial, and law depart ments of the work on the one hand, and the arrangement of the streets of London on the other, as well as the great mass of informa tion of various kinds connected with the Post-office, and the different modes of intercommunication, make it altogether as complete a di rectory as can be desired, or as it is well possible to conceive.

JOHN BULL, Nov. 28, 1846.

This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus tithis.the reputation enjoyed by the " Ditectory" of late years. .In the preface, the proprietor maintains that the high character of the work is not referable to its mere connexion with the Post Office ; fer an important change has been gradually introduced into the Manner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the work than heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely unconnected with the Post Office, this being in great part the plan of compiling the editions for 1845 and 1846. Nor has the proprietor rested content with his past success, hot has introduced many im portant alterations in this volume for 1847 and ade 1. to its hulk without any increase in price. The "Postai Directory" is especially improved, and there are numerous cbc..nges throughout the - volume to insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the most pains taking minuteness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a very lively effusion, to be seen in another column ; and we trust the enterprising proprietor:of the "Directory". will' find that his labor' are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial coun try this is an Indispensable volatile. RAILWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846. - The new volume of the Post Office Directory for 1847 is already in oar hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work so laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved. It would have been a sufficient merit to hare maintained its former reputation, it is a great melit to have surpassed itself. The produc tion of a work untqu ale-tfor accuracy and for clearness has placed in the hands of the comm,reial pu!,lic a most valuable and indispensable aid in carrying on the business of this vast metropolis, which would indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense it it *ore not, for a work of this kind. in a short time our readers will have the opportunity of judging for themselves on purchasing the new Volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any degree exaggerated. BRITANNIA, Nov. 21,1846. The Freneh people have done themselves credit by their industrial expositions. Rut it must be acknowledged that, though ingenbus and pretty, they appear quite in.significaut compared with the indus trial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty volume. Keep ing pace with the advancing trade and population of London, it still increases in lir ik ; and, keeping pace with the jmovement of society in amore impc rtant particular, it vigilantly seizes every opportunity Of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete diusificAtion. We find in thii volume many instances of superiority to thrmer issues, which. though.eomparatively trifling, show the in telligence and care exercised over every department. It may be men tioned that by the employment of private agents, the changes of re jidence arc now brought down to a later period thin formerly, and the value or the " Directory" is eensequently enhanced. We have before spoken of it as indispensable to • the proper managesient of business. Its authority is now so universally established, both at the Yost-office and throughout the metropolis, that any further recom mendation of it is superfluous. lIERIPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846. . The " Post-office Directory" for 1847 appears with additions improvements upon its valuable predecessor, but with no and enlarge ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which this Important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to say, national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation, We know not Whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in the ensuing session as was done in the last, 'to wrest it from the hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the force of might over right in the hands of Government; but, should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its conductors will go home to the consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down the grasping Interference of Government :—" It can only be neces sary to refer to a copy of the work published before the purchase of the copyright by its present proprietor, to be convinced that the mere connexion of the Directory' with the Post-office has little, if at all, contributed to its present high character. That the improvements (the result of many years of unwearied toll and application on the part of those engaged in the compilation of the work) are duly appre ciated is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the Directory' passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully with this—they have disappeared." • MUSICAL PRESENTS.

THE ,LONDON SEASON. A WORD TO THE LORDS AND COMMONS. Onr rhymes (though addressed to the good Legislature), Are nothing of any political, nature.

' The season in London once more is begun — May it be a good season for MOSES and SON ; May the Lords and the Commons. returning to town Visit MOSES and SON :At their Mart of renown. E. MOSES and SON would Most heartily thank Their numerous patrons of title ! ad p,sk, Whose favours, last year; `were an tprnangly great, And such as did honour to men of the state; And while the proprietors thank them for these. They solicit new favours from Lords and M.P.'s, As the Lords and the gentlemen forming the state In their nightly discussions are oft detain'd late, The elegant wrappers of MOSES and SON Would protect and prevent any harm being done. Noble Lords, after making long speeches, require Additional warmth in their over attire ; And all who would value their health should take care To avoid any hurt from the chilly night air, Which In plain honest words may be easily done, By seeking protection from MOSES and SON.

The am bassador of Milan having received some intelligence cerning the c9nspiracy; laid it before -the ;Derias, but both Andrew and his -grandnephew, deceived by the conduct of the count, were very reluctant to credit the informations In the midst of the conference, Fiesco himself made his appearance, for the purpose of ob tainingl Doria's consent to the departure of. a galley which, under some pretence, he had fitted out, and which consent was very necessary for the success of the even ing's enterprise. 'The manner in which the Count ' allayed all half-awakened suspicions, and obtained the object of his visit—indeed, the whole scene—is very . effectively described.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY EVENING.--Heavy snow having fallen during last night, to the depth of three or feur inches, her Majesty and the Prince, taking advantage of this change, went out this afternoon in the sledges—one of which was a year or two ago presented to the Queen by the Em peror of Russia, and the other was built in London, by order of the Prince Consort, during the last winter the Court was at Brighton. They have both been shut up in the Royal Mews ever since, the weather having afforded no opportunity for their use. About an hour after luncheon to-day these sledges were brought up to the entrance of the Queen's pri vate apartment in the great quadrangle, and her Majesty took her seat in the one built in London—a very fantasti cally decorated little vehicle, drawn by a pair of grey pal freys, gaily caparisoned in red morocco traces, with part'- coloured plumes on their heads, some three hundred bells being attached to different parts of the harness. her Majesty was attended by her Lady in Waiting, the Marchioness of Douro, and the Prince drove. Lord A. Paget followed in the Russian sledge, and Colonel Se}-mour, Prince Albert's Equerry in Waiting, followed on horseback. His Royal Highness led the way from the grand entrance down the Castle-hill, and entered the Great Park by the Long Walk. But unfortunately a considerable fall of rain came on shortly after they set out, and the snow was reduced to an un `Pleasant state of solution. Nevertheless, the party drove to the foot of the hill on wh ich stands the statue of George 111., and after an absence of three quarters of an hour returned to the Castle. SOLDIER FOUND FROZEN TO D EA TIL—CHATHAM. JAN. 21. —Yesterday morning, as some boys were sliding on a pond, at the rear of the Observatory, belonging to the Royal Engineers, they observed the elbow the ice ; apd part of the s h o ulder of a soldier sticking .up out of and after some time, they reported the circumstance to the Sergeant- Major of the Royal Engineers, who, with assistance, and a boat-hook, repaired to the spot. The boat• hook not being long enough to touch the body, one of the engineers put on a pair of water-boots, and walked to the spot, when the ice broke with him, and be then drew the dead body out. From the position of it, the legs and arms being contracted with the agonies of death, it was evident that the poor fellow had mistaken his road, as he had nearly gone across the pond befure the ice gave way. The deceased was attached to the Invalid Depot, at the Casemate Barracks, Gillingham, and had probably mistaken his road in returning to his quarters, whereby he had fallen into the pond, when the intense frost then prevailing had caused his death. His name was Thomas Shea, and he was a drummer in the 87th Royal Irish Fusiliers, and had been fifteen years in the regi• ment. He had recently returued from the Mauritius to be pensioned off. • MORTALITY-IN LONDON.—The returns of the num ber of deaths ir metropolis, during the past week, show:: a considerav p in the amount a — ^rtality as corn' pared ”-* -f the 4- weeks.

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE DUCHESS D'URSF.L.— The higher circles of Brussels have just sustained a sudden loss. On Monday last, at half-;cast five o'clock in the after noon, the Duchess d'Ursel was seized with an attack of apo plexy, and though immediate assistance was rendered she died almost immediately. There was to have been a grand dinner at the hotel d'Ursel that day; all the gue.its were as sembled, the Duchess alone was absent. She was sought - for, and found in her chamber insensible—too far gone to receive spiritual consolation. DEATH OF COLONEL HECTOR MA.CLAINE.—This distinguished Peninsular officer died at Teignmouth on the 16th instant, aged sixty-two. He was a native of the island of Mull, in Scotland; and several.of his ancestors were chiefs of some of the most distinguished Highland clans. He-en tered the army in 1803 as ensign, and his other commissions were thus dated :—Lieutenant, Sept. 25, 1804; Captain, Dec. 1,1806 ; Major; May 14, 1819; Lieutenant-Colonel, Sept. 9, 1824; and Colonel, June 28, R-38. He has been on the,un- . attached list since 1824. - The Gallant Officer proceeded to the Peninsula at an early period of the war, being connected with Lord Hill's division, and it may be 'added that he en- • joyed the friendship of that lamented General. For his gal lantry at tho battle of Nivelle he received a medal. Colonel Maclaine also served with much distinction in the West , ln- dies and North America. He was the only surviving brother , of Major-General Sir Archibald Campbell. ALARM OF FIRE AT THE MANCHESTER THEATRE ROYAL.—On Monday last, during the performance of Romeo and Juliet, an occurrence took place which might have been productive of very serious consequences. During the scene, in the first act, when Juliet, her mother, and nurse are on the stage, a noise of an unusual kind was heard from behind the scenes, and was beginning to cause considerable a larm, when Mr. Wallack (just as the scene was changing), came forward and said, '• Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg that you will not for a moment think of leaving your seats." Owing to the excitement and bustle which prevailed, this speech was, by a considerable portion of the audience, misinter preted into a recommendation of exactly an opposite nature, and an immediate rash was made towards the doors from all parts of the house. The good sense, however, of the ma jority of the audience succeeded in restoring tranquillity for a few moments, during which Mr. Wallaek explained that there no longer existed any cause for alarm, and that the performance would go on, which, accordingly it did. A feel iag of anxiety, however, still remained, and burst out i :when in the last scene of the play, there were heard the murmur and tramp of the crowd who came on to fill the stage at the close. A partial rush by some persons in the pit, viho ap peared not to have witnessed the performance of . Romeo and . Juliet, again caused a move towards the door. The real state of the case seems, however, to have been immediately . I made known to them, and order was speedily restored. — Manchester Express. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ISLINGTON.—AbOIIt 'llalf past eleven o'clock last niaht a fire was discovered on the premises of Mr. Spence, High-street, Islington, which soon raged with most destructive force. About a quarter to twelve, an engine was on the spot, but such was the scarcity of water that before an effectual supply could be obtained, the whole building was nearly destroyed: A safety ladder also • arrived, but the inmates were enabled to escape by a. back window, over the roofs of some of. the adjoining buildings in Field-court. Seeing the hopelessness of saving Mr. Spence's property, the engine was chiefly directed ag ainst Mr. Riley's provision warehouse, but, notwithstanding every effort to save it, the premises were nearly burnt to the; ground. A second engine arrived a little after twelve, and a good supply . of water being now obtained from one of the main - cocks, '.. the fire was speedily got under. The loss of property is - very large. A CHILD'S LIFE SAVED BY A DOG.—Yesterday afternoon, a little girl, aged seven years, named Emma Rainey, residing at No. 13, Ranelagh-crescent, Chelsea, was , playing at Thames Bank, near the Chelsea Water-Works , when she slipped and fell into the river.

REPRESENTATION OF WESTMINSTER. On Monday night, at seven o'clock, a most numerous and influential meeting of the Westminster Reform Society was held at Stannard's Hotel, Upper Wellington-street, Covent garden, specially convened for the purpose . of receiving the report of the comnflttee, in_pursuance of a resolution passed at a meeting of the society, which was as follows :—" That it be referred to the general committee of the society to wait upon the several gentlemen whose names may be submitted to them, or who they may think desirable, from which thi s society should make a selection of a candidate to be brought forward at the next election for Westminster, in- lieu of J. T. Leader, Esq., M.P., who has`, sigoified his intention not again to solicit the suffrages of the electors of Westminster, and to ascertain how far their political' opinions are in ac cordance with the principles of this society, and whether they woull be willing, if called upon by a requisition from the electors of this city, to contest the same, in conjunction with Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P.; and that the said committee re port thereon, at their earliest convenience, to another general Meeting of this society, to be called for that special pur pose." Mr. Austin, of St. James's, having taken the chair, Mr. Haggett, the secretary, presented the minutes, which were confirmed; The report of the general committee was then brought up and read. It stated that in conformity with the resolution of the 7th April, the general committee presented to each member of the society a copy of the resolution, when many names of those who were thought eligible were sent to the committee. Measures were adopted to enter into a correspondence with them, in consequence of which answers were received, some declining the invitation, and others acceding to an interview. Deputations were subsequently appointed to meet the gentlemen, the result of which has been that the following were selected (no delay having oc curred to ascertain the political wishes of all those with whom an interview was obtained):—Mr. Page Wood, Mr. G. Thompson, Mr. S..V. Shelley, and Mr. C. Lushington. - The committee trust that such' a candidate will be placed in the field as the electors would support. It was after much careful research that the committee arrived at the conviction that the suffrages of the electors will be most favourably exercised in support of Mr. C. Lushington. A long discussion ensued, and an objection was raised to the report that the committee had exceeded their instruc tions, by giving an opinion in favour of Mr. C. Lushington. Mr. PROUT defended the report on the part of the commit tee, observing that there was no desire to dictate to the society. The report was then received, and ordered to be entered on the minutes. Mr. LEWIS, jun., then rose to propose Mr. G. Thompson to contest the election in conjunction with Sir De Lacy Evans, whom, without in the' least attempting to say anything in deterioration of Mr. C. Lushington, it was his desire to put forward at the ensuing election • at the same time there was no gentleman, more than Mr. C. Lushington, who he would wish to see second to him : his virtues were many—he had proved himself an honest man in the House of Commons, and he was of great family influence.—(Hear.) He was also not a party man, and would carry out their opinions—he meant upon free-trade.—(Hear.) He had shown himself to be independent of family interests upon the sugar question, though he had a deep interest in that trade.--(Hear.) All these things, however, Mr. G. Thompson would do, in addi• tion to which he had a profound knowledge of affairs con nected with our possessions in the East Indies, which was a subject of the utmost importance at the present crisis.- -(Hear.) He had most powerful talents, which would exer cite a very beneficial influence in the House of Commons. He put his resolution. Mr. GEEsix seconded it, remarking that Mr. G. Thompson was not a man to get every day in the week.—( Laughter.) He thought that it' they made a selection of him, they would not have much to find fault with. Had he been capable of being bought he would long ago have been placed on the shelf' by the East India Company.—(Hear.) In the parishes of St. Margaret and St. John's, though Mr. Cochrane had appeared befOre him, there was a strong demonstration in his favour. The committee ought to have made this report long since. —(Hear.) Mr. PROUT, who proposed that Mr. C. Lushington should be selected, said, that the gentlemen who supported Mr. G. Thompson thought.of the man in his individuality who they considered should be their representative, and not of the man who could be secured at the poll.—(Hear.) The majority he acted with in the committee were desirous to take the person they could carry at the election, and wished not to be under the necessity of deciding the votes of the electors.— (Hear.) He valued the talents of Mr. G. Thompson, and would be happy to see him in the House of Commons, where he thought he ought to be. But the question with him was, which was the one who would be likely to succeed ?—( Hear.) His opinion of Mr. G. Thompson was, that he would not be able to command the majority at the poll. That was the con viction of the majority of the committee, and in that convic • tion it was that they agreed to offer the name of Mr. C. Lushington. He had been a tried man in the House of" Commons.—(Hear, hear.) He had voted for all the princi ples which were adopted by the society, and for many more. —(Hear, hear.) He was iu a position to command-the wealth and influence of Westminster.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Prout) would be ashamed to walk the streets of London if a Tory were returned ; and if ,Alr. G. Thompson and Mr. Cochrane went to the poll s -the was fearful that would be the result. For these reasons, he moved as an amendment " That C. Lushington, be adopted by the society as the candidate to contest the city of Westminster at the next elec tion. to peeped John Ternnle Leader. Esn.. M.P." be no hesitation, and that they ought to give their support to Mr. C. Lushingtsn.—( Hear, hear.) It had been said that Mr. G. Thompson was well acquainted with the state of our Indian affairs. There were subjects which intimately con cerned them at home, and which he considered of more para mount importance, as the condition of Ireland. If that were lost, what would be the use of India.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. R. Crum asked whethr either of the candidates in tended to vote for the endowment of any church ? Mr. PEOUT declared that Mr. C. Lushington would not, and, Mr. LEWIS made a similar acknowledgment on the part of Mr. G. Thompson. Mr. G. POUNCEY said that if the society decided by one only that Mr. G. Thompson should be put in nomination, he would give him his . support ; but the question was, can they return him, and, whether, if he was to stand, two Tories would not be at the head of the poll.—(Hear, hear.) He could not imagine such a contingency. It was the duty of a candidate not to divide the interest, and he would say to the credit of Mr. C. Lushington, that it he supposed he was likely to create a division he would not stand.—(Hear, hear.) They were bound to consider the opinions of the great body of electors not connected with the society.— (Hear, hear.) It was necessary that they should have a gentleman as their representative who would go to the House of Commons with a triumphant majority.—Hear, hear.) It was his opinion that they could net return Mr. G. Thompson, and he was assured that Mr. C. Lushing ton would make an able, eloquent, and honest represents tive.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. J. PARKES, solicitor, observed, that they ought to be careful what steps they took that evening. He came there perfectly independent, with tip intention to give his support to that gentlemaa who lie thought would have any chance of being returned.—( Hear.) The present constituency was not that of former times, as the rate-paying classes had assisted to destroy the body of scot-and-lot voters, who were the cream of the electors in former times, and who enabled W es tminster to stand at the head of the independent boroughs.—(Hear, hear.) They were to consider whether they could return two Liberal candidates, and, if so, which of the two gentlemen before them was the likeliest to suc ceed. Mr. C. Lushington was long connected with the religious liberty question, and it was a subject in which the whole of the dissenters took a deep interest. He was also a member of the Church of England. —(Hear, hear.) The dissenters had the greatest confidence in him, while he was a man who did not seek a place from Government, who would not ask for place, and who would not take one if it was offered to him.—(Hear, hear.) He had a high opinion of the talents of Mr. G. Thompson, and he would be misled in his opinion of him if he thought he would not decline to stand when he was not likely to suc ceed.—(Hear.) Messrs. Lewis, sea., Bidgood, jun., Coppock, Labrum, &c., addressed the meeting, when Mr. Lewis replied, intimating that he trusted they would all abide by the decision of the society. The amendment was then put and carried, after which Mr. LE BitErroN proposed, and Mr. DivE seconded a vote of thanks to the committee:(a similar vote being awarded to the chairman). The meeting terminated at a late hour. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Athol' troop-ship, master commanding E. J. P. Yearn, sailed this morning for Malta. The Crocodile's crew were paid two months' wages in ad vance to-day. WOOLWICII, JA.N. 21.—The Centaur steam-frigate will have finished loading with meal, at Deptford, this week, and on Monday next will leave that port fur the Hebrides, to relieve the inhabitants suffering from want of proviiions on the west coast of Scotland. The Lightning steam-vessel, Mr. Petley, master tkotnraand ing, left Woolwich at six o'clock this morning, for Sheer ness, to tow the Benbow, 72 guns, to Woolwich, to be fitted as a depot for a portion of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, until the new barracks are completed. A part of the new barracks has been made ready for the reception of a portion of the corps, and the band of the Royal Marines is ordered to return from Deptford and occupy the habitable part. Preparations are in progress to-day for taking the Terrible steam-frigate into the east dock to have her bottom exa mined. APPOINTMENTS. Midshipman—Peregrine Barnwell, to the Queen. Naval Cadet—Robert M. Patten, to the Scourge. Masters' Assistants—John Jones, to the Ocean ; John Thompson, to the Birkenhead ; Arthur B. Martin, to the Porcupine. LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S SLOOP SPHYNX. left hopes Fr o e f sh s w m a i t n e g r Bthaey hullat ofthe half-past vessel PORTSMOUTH, TriunsnAy.—The Porcupi ne s t ea me r re turned from the Sphy nx l as t n i g ht a t e i g h t o ' c l oc k, h av i ng three.that bew Sl i l n e e re m p o o r retsandmore th r e e faint, but has come up for more gear. Every exertion is being made to lighten her, by discharging her fuel and stores, and taking out such portions of her engines and ma chinery as can be conveniently got at. The vessel. however, begins to complain in her hull, the frame of which is visibly loosening. The chance of ultimately saving her is much lessened by the shift of wind, which took place last night, to south—directly on shore—in which quarter it continues, with appearances. indicating a blow. The tides also are taking off. A quantity of hawsers and other gear, including torches, and long staves to fix them on, and three spare. anchors, were, notwithstanding, put on board the Porcu pine; also 35 seamen and 15 marines, and about 50 seamen and marines belonging to the St. Vincent, in charge of a lieutenant. The arrival of the Porcupine enables us to contradict the stories which had obtained circulation yesterday regarding a greater loss of life on this unfortunate occasion. In addition to the seven persons drowned belong ing to the Scourge, three of the Sphynx's crew are missing; but we have spoken with persons who saw two of them on Sunday in Portsea, and who know that they had deserted the ship, and went to London the same night by the train with some of the Tyne's crew. It was reported that the Stag revenue cruiser had lost two boats' crews; but this also is erroneous. Two of her boats were stove and swamped, but no one hurt. This we ascertained by inquiry of the Stag's people, which vessel brought in the Sphynx's charts. The Porcupine returned to the wreck this afternoon. The body of Mr. Harris, the gunner of the Scourge, was brought here this morning by the Gem steamer, and consigned to the care of his friends. The Fanny, Admiral's tender, sailed last night for Yar mouth, Isle of Wight, with a gentleman of the firm of Penn, the maker of the engines of the Sphynx, who is sent down to • superintend the removal of them from the vessel A statement of peculiartier.9. l 3... T .:ie present tithe 'has just teen published at New York of the value of the exports and imports of the United States for the year ending 30th June, 1846, distingui , hing between the amounts carried in American and foreign vessels. From this it appears that the total value of the exports of do mestic produce was 102,141,893 dols., of which 23 507,453 dols. was carried in foreign, and the remainder in Ame rican vessels, On the other hand, the value of the im ports of foreign merchandise was 121,691,797 do's., of which 11,346,623 dole. was afterwards exported, leaving the balance, 110,345,174 dols., and showing an excess of imports over exports for the year of 8,203,281 dols. Of the total imports, 15,683.624 dols. was brought in fo reign vessels. The return distinguishes the proportions in which the trade of the country has been carried on with the various parts of the world, and thus furnishes the materials for the following summary of the principal items. The extent to which Great Britain figures in the list presents a curious comment on the judgment of those French writers by whom this country and the United States have latterly been designated as " na tural enemies:" — EXPORTS AND IMPORTS OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 1846.

The deputation consisted of the Rev. Henry Hart 'Ullman, the rector of St. Margaret's, Westminster; the Rev. John Jennings, rector of St. John's ; W. Page Wood, Esq., Q.C. ; J. Carter Wood, Esq.; Mr. Brewer, and Mr. 7 rollope. The Rev. H. H. Malian having read to his Lord ship the resolutions which had been come to by the vestries, and stated the objections they had to removal of Westminster bridge, Lord Morpeth informed the deputation, that the no tices for the new bridge had been given in consequence of a resolution of the Commissioners for the improvement of the Metropolis; that her Majesty's Ministers did not intend to proceed with the Bill in the present session of Parliament, but would reconsider the whole subject before they adopted any final measure. The deputation thanked his Lordship for the courtesy he had shown them, and returned much pleased at a result which is so important to the public. . .....
