E BRITISH CORN TRADE. the Mark-lane Erpress.) nv no longer anything new in pur ,t for sipm( nt to France, small quan„Les having from time to time been taken in our markets by French buyers for several months past, still, a good deal of sensation has been caused this week by the extent of the purchases for that- country. What had been previously done had been on a comparatively retail scale, but latterly a large proportion of the supply brought forward at the shipping ports on the east coast, has been bought for export ; and, should the demand continue on the same scale, our own millers will have to bestir themselves to obtain the quantity needed to keep their mills going. The wheat trade is certainly in a very singular position at present. Countries from, which we are in the habit, in ordinary years, of receiving supplies, are not only unable to afford us assistance, but actually look to England for aid. On the east coast, as already stated, wheat has been rather largely bought this week fur the continent; whilst our western ports have, for months past, been shipping ex tensively to Ireland. Under there circumstances, it Is not surprising that stocks should have diminished rapidly; and we fe.:l tolerably certain that less wheat is, at this moment, held by farmers than has been the case for some years at the corresponding time. There may be, and probably are, exceptions in particular localities; but, taking the kingdom collectively, there must, we think, be a considerable deficiency. At no time :ince the harvest have the growers bell back supplies; this is proved by the quantities returned as soki at those towns where the returns are made up for computing the averages, and by the generally liberal manner in which all the markets in the agricultural districts have been supplied. It follow, therefore, that if the last crop did not exceed an average (and that it did nut is now universally admitted), im mense inroads must have been made in farmers' stocks. There was, it is true, a fair quantity of ald wheat on hand when the new crop was harvested, particularly in the western counties, but not more, we believe, than in ordinary times. The fact is that the consumption of wheat has, in consequence of the want of potatoes, been enormously great, in evidence of which we have merely to draw attention to the almost total exhaustion of the foreign stocks in warehouse. Taking London, for ex ample, when the new corn-laws were passed, duty was paid here on upwards of 600,000 quarters ; of this large quantity there are at present not more than 80,000 to 100,000 quarters left on hand. We have not the means at command for ascertaining whether the drain has been equally great at the outports, but, from all we can collect on the subject, we can come to no other conclusion than that stocks are decidedly short in all parts of the kingdom, and that, however liberal the American supplies may prove, they will hardly suffice to place us in a safe position. The present value of wheat being deemed hazardous for investments, very few speculative purchases have of late i eau made. Hence there has been less animation in the trade than might have been expected ; indeed, had it not been for the French demand, prices would probably have under gone a slight depression. The inquiry for export and purchases for actual consumption have, however, sufficed to take off the supplies ; and, so far from any reaction having occurred, the tendency has been decidedly up wards. In the Scotch markets, no change appears to bare taken place in prices of wheat; for whilst the lively tone of the advices from the south had induced sellers to re main firm, an unwillingness on the part of the millers to buy had rendered it impossible to establish an advance. From Ireland, the reports are of a similar character as before; the sufferings of the people had, in some localities, been partially alleviated; in other districts the distress is stated to be as great as ever, and there can be no doubt that shipments of food, on an ex tensive scale, will have to be made from hence through out the summer. Flour, of town manufacture, has not sold freely ; but the millers have manifested no anxiety to press the article, and its previous value has been firmly supported. For ship flour, former terms have likewise been de manded, and the best brands of American have been sold at slightly enhanced rates. The arrivals of barley have not been very large, only 9,615 qrs. having been reported up to this (Saturday) evening, including 6,667 qrs. from abroad. This grain has, nevertheless, been very dull of sale, and even the finest malting qualities have rather fallen in value, whilst distilling and grinding sorts, whltel►,: are more likely to be influenced by the expected supplieS frog the Baltic, have been almost unsaleable. The brewers have bought malt with extreme.caition throughout the week, which, together with the very dull state of the barley market, has caused a slight decline in prices of the article. The supply of oats from our coast has amounted to 5,032 qrs., whilst from Scotland 3,119 qrs. and from Ireland only 539 qrs. have been received ; upwards of 26,000 qrs. having, however, come to hand from the near continental ports in the course of the week, there has been no scarcity of this grain. e principal dealers being fully aware that importers will, if possible, avoid incurring landing expenses, have acted on the reserve, their object being to wait for the expiration of the lying days, and thus force down prices. The transactions have, consequently, been on quite a restricted scale, and the turn has been decidedly in favour of the buyer. Beans have met with very little attention, and no Va riation requiring notice has occurred in quotations. Peas have been taken off in retail, at much the same rates as before. There have ben fewer ()trots of Indian corn to arrive, and for cargoes rear at hand full prices might have been realised. TO THE PUBLIC. Under the present awtul calamity of famine, accom panied with fearful loss of human it is the bounden duty of every individual to aid and a,sist his fellow men, without regard to sect or creed; and more especially does it behove each in hi:; re :nr..ctive station and calling, to second the measures of the Government of his country, irrespective of all poliic.d• fe:ling, in husbanding and lessening the consumption of flour, and thus forestalling the means of subsistence for the f,.rth-coming season ; a season which, it is to be feared, will be most severely felt by the labouring class of this kingdom, whose pri vations and wants are, from the high price of provisicns, and the almost annihilation of the potato-crop, (which constitutes about five-sixths of their food) increasing with fearful and rapid steps. In the hope of being useful for effectuating the above desirable end, the following suggestions are strongly and repectfully submittt d to the attention of the rich, that by their practical bounty and example, they may incite and aff ird to the poor the means of adopting them, which, under the blessing of God, will greatly tend to decrease their sufferings, and supply them with nutritious food. Th w e following receipt for making bread, has been tried and adopted, not only in the writer's family, but by many others, who have been sw.plird with it, with the most marked and decided success ; and it is in itself so simple in its preparation, that it can be made available by the poorest person, simply by their dividing it : thus for example-141bs. of flour, with 141bs. of fresh coarse bran, well boiled in one gallon of water, and strained off with the usual proportions of yeast andf , alt, will give an increase in weight to the bread of Vbs. beyond the ex cess made in the usual way, and the bran, although de prived of its nutritive properties, does not lose its drastic or cooling ones, but is rather increased thereby, and may be given to horses, for those purposes, with good effect. Remove only the coat se flake bran from the flour; of this take five pounds, and boil it in rather more than four gallons of water, so that, when perfectly strained, you may have three gallons and three quarts of bran water clear: with this knead 56 lbs. of the flour, adding salt and yeast in the same way and proportions as for other bread. When ready to bake, divide it into loaves, aid bake them two hours and a half. Thus made, flour will itn bibe three quarts more of bran water than of plain, so that it not only produces a more nutritious and substan tial food, but makes an increase of one fifth of the usual quantity of bread, which is a saving of one da)'s con sumption out of six; and if this were adopted through out the kingdom, it would make a saving of some millions sterling throughout the year, reckoning the consumptioa to be 200,000 bushels a day. The same quantity of flour, which, kneaded with water, produces 691 b. Boz. of bread. will in the above way make 831bs. Boz., and gain 141133. At the ordinary price of flour, four millions would be saved. When ten days' old, if put into the oven for twenty minutes, this bread will appear quite new again. This being the season for sowing parsnips, no time should be lost in preparing the ground, which only re quires to be dug to the extent of twenty-two inches, if possible, and well pulverized. As it grows with a tap root, whatever manure is applied should be placed at the bottom of the ground, so as to supply the root with nourishment. Four pennyworth of seed well sown and trodden in, will produce more meals than four sacks of potatoes, and, what is still more important, for that quantity it will not require more ground than is suffi cient to grow half a sack of potatoes. There are three sorts of parsnips, all of French extraction, and respec tively adapted for the depth of, and different soils. The seed may be procured of any respectable seedsmatt, which, independent of its being recommended as a sub stitute for the potato, it will be found extremely nourish ing, if well boiled, and of inestimable benefit to the poor possessing gardens, or field allotments, the value of which will be greatly enhanced by their respective land lords reducing the rents. 11.

BURKE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGE FOR 1847. —The new edition of this popular and important work, which has just appeared, is acknowledged to be the most per feet record of the Noble Houses of the Empire ever printed. Each family has its genealogical history, so comprehensively arranged that every generation is described with minute accuracy, their achievements fully recorded, and the interest ing traditions and anecdotes connected with the descent care fully introduced. All the existing branches appear in full, and there is probably not a single member of the aristocracy who cannot be here traced. The new Peers and Baronets are amply given, and the various intermarriages of the no bility with the country gentry are fully set forth, along with much curious information, which the authors' other great work, " The Dictionary of the Landed Gentry," has enabled them to add. ACCIDENT TO Mn. GITNNING.— We are exceed ingly sorry to state that this venerable and highly esteemed gentleman, who is now in his 93d year, and has held the office of Senior Esquire Bedel for more than half a century, met with a very serious accident on Tuesday evening. He had written a letter at the,Philosophical-rooms, and was pro ceeding:ivith tbe post .oftrodcwbeti opposite Mr. Mutton's shop in All Saint's-passage, he happened unfortunately to tread upon a piece of orange peel, and - fell - with - considerable violence upon the pavement. It was feared at the tittle that he had either dislocated the hip joint or fractured the thigh bone ; but the precise character of the accident had not been ascertained when we went to press.

MORNING CHRONICLE, Nov 20, 1846. The powers of expansion exhibited by this most useful annual volume appear real y unlimited. Publiehe 1 during a series of forty eSght years, in a metropolis whose dwellings increase in number by a yearly average of some fourteen thousand, and whose commerce expands in st,ll larger measure, the " Post-office Directory" has be come enormously enhanced in bu k, as also in the complicated variety of its indispensable contents The admirable success with which the really enormous difficulties of his task have been overcome by the indefatigable publisher has been proved by the experience of neatly years ; and we need say little more titan that the present volume presents the same tokens as its predecessors, of Intel igent method and ingenuity of arrangement in packing into reasonable compass, and producing in lucid order its millions of facts and reference. Within two thousand pages every man may learn everything he ought to know about every one of his co-dwellers in the great metropolis, their businesses, as well as everything neces• sary to facilitate him in his own. The very rapid extension of our railway system, and the new postal arrangements with some conti nental states, have rendered necessary some extensive Additions to the sections appropriated to Conveyance and the Post-office. We find the information given under those heads net only as full and ac curate as it was well possible to make them, but more new and re cent than we should have thought attainable in a work of such mag nitude. Prelxed to the volume is about the best Map of London we happen to have met with. TIMES, Nov. 18, 1846. The forty-eighth annual publication of this work--the volume for 1847—is now issued. It is a wonderfully different affair from the old Directory, which used to consist of little or nothing more than the alphabetical list of tradesmen ; it comprises now, and has for some years, a " Street Directory," a " Trades' Directory." a " Court Directory," a " Postal Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," with a host of other little digests. The volume appears to have been very carefully revised, and supplies the latest information. Of course, the postal treaty with Prussia has not been overlooked ; and in minor points the work seems to' bear the test of search into matters in which changes have been very recent. MORNING POSI', Nov. 19, 1846. The forty-eighth annual publication of this admirable work has mist been issued. Any dissertation on the usefulness of this volume, after its well-proven service in almost every counting-house in the metropolis for so many years past, must he quite unnecessary. Suf fice it to say, the present edition possesses all the merit of its prede cessors, while the alterations and corrections in the various depart ments have been tarried down to the latest period. MORNING HERALD, Nov. 21, 1546, Bulky as the proportions of this indispensable work have hitherto been, the volume for 1847 comes forth under circumstances of still nether eniargemenS. The experience of 47 years has obviously enabled the proprietor, Mr. Frederick Kelly, to produce a Directory of unrivalled completeness, wherein every species of fact likely to be wanted by the merchant and trader is placed within convenient access The volume contains upwards of 2,000 closely-printed royal octavo pages, betokening a singular amount of industry as a matter of compilation, and awakening astonishment at the comprehensive ness of the machinery which could bring within a common focus. so much varied and scattered intelligence—embracing, as it does, a multiplicity of heads, and involving the services of a vast number of contributors. We believe that the present volume is not to be matched in the whole world, for such a mammoth aggregate of local and sp:L'fie information i s no less a typographical wonder than a orodig;oas monoment of diligence and enterprise. Some dozen or so of separate Directory are included in this huge periodical—the only one, it seems, of the annual tribe destined to a permanent existence a veritable triumph, indeed, of the utilitarian principle over the ornamental. The " Official Directory" is a key to the whole of the Government offices, and a record of official personages. This is fol lowed by a " Stieet Directory," exhibiting the tradesmen in every thoroughfare, and the points at which the streets are intersected by those at right angles; while the "Commercial and Professional Directory" is an alphabetical arrangement of the above. Then comes a " Trades' Directors'," in which the names are allocated under their respective callings. The " Law Directory" is a list of judges, Queen's counsel, sergeants, barristers, attorneys, &c., with a cata logue of the various Courts of Law, their officers, and their peculiari ties of jurisdiction. The "Court Directory" comprises the addresses of the nobility and gentry ; and the " Parliamentary Directory" is a record of the Members of the House of Lords and Commons, with an alphabetical list of the boroughs, cities, and counties returning Members to Parliament, the surnames and eldest sons of peers, &c. The " Postal Directory" contains the hour of receipt and delivery o every Post-office in the kingdom ; the cities and principal places throughout the world to which mails are dispatched from London ; the rates of foreign postage ; the railway mails and the cross-road mails, &c. The " City Directory" registers the civic authorities. the public companies, the brokers, the incumbents and ministers of the churches and chapels, the newspapers, &e. ; and the " onveyance Directory" includes the railway tables, the coach and booking offices, the wharfs, &c. The volume closes with Banking and Assurance Directories. These various heads will serve to indicate the mutt'. tudinous nature of the conten ts, for out of tees come a varieey o subordinate directories, which meet every eivable want, pre f senting a curious analysis of the public and private institutions of the metropolis and of the commercial world. Every ste person is to to be found under his proper sectio n, from a prime mini dowa sheriff's officer--every establishment, front a palace to a lodging house. The editor, in his preface, takes occasion to congratulaie himself on the many improvements he has this year introduced, o p f rin th ipal cPost office"selected e, e n the " specificte ~ d a lterations, the sew postag e treaty with Prussia, which came in.o eolrydinary flowing ea ft r o ri m er s h ot the n ope.etion on the Ist of January, 1847, and disturbs to a consuleseems, ab'e extent the rates of postage over a great part of the Continent, the most important . MONING ADVERTISER, Nov. 18 1846. " Post-oßffice London Directory, 1847," is jest delivered. The well be without it ; it must wor k. None of the leadi n g towns can T h o ugh it is apparentl limited to London, it is in realit y a natiorsl y be an essential to every counting-house in the kingdom, as well as to eness of its use;ul ever y place of busine ss fa and about the metropolis. It is an invalu able wor k of its kind ; and the extent and minut under the immediate tails ar e truly wonderful. Being prepared " mediate and p e dal patronage of her Maj est y 's Postmaster-General," the amplest ' and coropletest means were, of course, at the command of the pro prietor, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy of the volumino Is and crowded contents of the bulky work. The present is the forty eighth annual publication. Few commercial and Lading men can now require particular description of the refill. imposter and Useful Information, to almost every party in any sort of busirece, oecunying the two thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pets o: this Di rectory. Preceded by an admirable and persgienous Map of Lo teon, prepared expressly, it is declared, for the work, by Mr. B. R. D. v'es, there are divisions comprising, among other information, "Official," "Street," "Commercial, "Trades," " Law," 'Court, „ " Parlia mentary," " Postal,' " City," " Conveyance," " Banking," and many other Directories. The hope is expressed in the preface that this forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office London Directory" may be found " in all respects to equal the beet of its predecessors." From vesy consider able examination of the marvellously full and varied contents and Information en matters which it must be so difficult, labore us, and expensive to collect, we hesitate not to say, that this unassuming wish is liberally realised. It not only equals the best of its piede eessors, but in several particulars it surpasses nil its predecessors. The information is not only fuller in many respects, but there are several important alterations and addition., largely addling to the usefulness of the book. It is Intimated, and truly, that although all competition has disappeared, the present volume is conspicuous proof that there has been no relaxation in the multifarious labours to per fect the extraordinary work. In sneaking of past success, it is observed that it has been, " even in a pecuniary point of view, bene ficial to the public, is proved by the fact that important improve ments and additions are %smuttily made veithout coy increase price "—a result that, it is declared, " could not have bees the case, had the public patronage been divided." With refeeerce to the price, we certainly must acknowledge that it is wonderful how it can be profitable to provide such varied eiateeials —and materials constantly changing and requtrin ; so much and such ceaseless labour and cost to procure, and then to classify. Nothing but a tremendous sale could make the speculation answer. Among the important alterations will be found those introduced into the " Postal" Directory. It is, indeed, singularly full, useful, amid complete ; and must such increase the daily, it might be more truly pronounced its hourly value, particularly to the merchant, the trader, or the professional man. As the new treaty with Prussia caused very considerable changes in the rates of postage r s effecting the Austrian dominions, Baden, Bavaria, Bremen, Deemark, the German States, Hamburg, Hanover, Lubeck, Mecklenburg,, Olde burgh, Poland, Prussia, Saxony, Sweden and Norw..y, Wurtembarg, &c. &c. &c., those changes are detailed " precisely as they arranged to come into operation on the let of Jamiery, 1347." The other changes are not only numerous, but all the Intelligence is announced to be brought down to a period as late as was compatible with the appearance of such a volume in sufficient time for general circulation, prior to the commencement of the year for which it is designed. 'the business merits of the work are of the highest order, and reader it, of its kind, we imagine, a publication unexampled in the world for .ts completeness, fulness, and usefulness. SUN, Nov. 18,1846. The present Is the forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office London Directory," and a truly marvellous effort of compilation it is. The " Post-office Directory" has been for some years ender the management of Mr. Kelly. Until he became the mmutger of this work, there wexe divers other Directories In the field. They have, however, all disappeared, and the " Post-office Directory" now rules alone. This astonishing success, however, has not had the effect of mating the proprietor of this gigantic work careless. Ile is too thorough a man of business not to be perfectly aware that the fruit* of his succens can only be reseed by a cotinuance of the same untiring energy by which the success was in n the first Instance achieved, and accordingly we find that the " Pest-office Directory" for 1847, is even more highly finished in all its elabor. - te arrangements than any former edition of the book. The extent and minuteness of the details furnished, render the work indispeesable to every commercial and mercantile establishment. So admirably, however, is this multifarious Information digested and arranged, that there is not the slightest difficulty experienced in referring to the articular page required to furnish the information—a marvellous netance of clearness of arrangement in ass ork consisting of upwards of two thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pages. This Directory is certainly the most complete work of the sort e^er offered to the public. Of not only the usefulness, but the indispen sable necessity of such a work, no man of business can for a moment entertain a doubt ; and considering the completeness and fulness of the information furnished, and the enormous outlay of time and o capital that must have been made in order to acquire and digest the information, the very reasonable price at which the work is published le really wonderful. GLOBE, Noy. 21, 1846. Kelly's invaluable work, the " Post-office Directory," has just made its appearance for the ensuing year. The vast mass of infor tnation which this book contains, makes It not only desirable but absolutely necessary as a part of the office furniture of every ma^ of business ; and scarcely less necessary, indeed, for every one else, who requires to know anything concerning the trades, professions, and localities of the great metropolis. In its present extended form, the book is an absolute curiosity; the labour and expense whic% it has cost to bring it to its present state of perfection must have been Immense. In turning over its two thousand pages, one hardly knows Which most to be struck with and admire—the excellent. arrangement and utility of such a compilation, or the megnitude of the city which requires such a directory. The voiume, moreover, contains an excellent map of London and the suburbs, corrected down to the latest strides of " bricks and mortar." WEEKLY DISPA.TCII, Nov. 15, 18 , _6. The forty-eighth annual publication of this highly.'mportant and useful work has just been iesued ; and wele mu an st confess reflect when we that its bulky appearance has surprised lls not a littd that the price remains unaltered, although the expense of collecting the maferials must have increased, we are pleased at the liberality of Mr, Kelly, the proprietor. In a commercial point of view, motigdother per haps,infonn io at i h o o n o , k t e v r e e r i contained m l a n a , t , te s r t . ree t a " Commercial Directory," " Trades' Directory," a " Law Dir,ee scoialmDulerhecutoseryfu,l" Ranking Direc " Ban tory," a" Court Directory , " a" Parliamentary Directory," a "City Directory," a " Conveyance Direc tor y ," and tory,"—in fact, the volume contains much that is interesting and valuable to the tradesman, the merchant, the lawyer, and pers ns in ordinary life, as well as to the gentleman who occasionally dabbles in trade. Every description of information has been corrected to the latest possible period, and that information is arranged with a clearness and simplicity which must have involved great activity of mind and exertion of body. Sewed with the book Is an excellently engraved Map of London, more extended and accurate as to the e suburbs than any map we have seen ; and to make it as comp lete reference as possible, an almanac is introduced. In the " Postal Directory" there are the new rates with various parts of the Con tinent which will come into operation on the Ist of January. Altogether this new issue surpasses any of its predecessors ; and we are not surprised that other Directories should have gone to the tomb of all the Capalets. BRITANNIA, Nov. 21, 1846. The French people have done themselves some credit by their in dustrial expositions. But it must be acknowledged that, though in genlous and pretty, they appear quite insignificant cempared with the iedustrial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty volume. Keeping pace with the advancing trade and population of London, it still increases in bulk, and keeping pace with the move ment of society in a more important particular, it vigilantly seizes every opportunity of improvement to insure snore perfect accuracy and more complete classification. We find in this volume rnaAy in stances of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively trifling, show the intelligence and care exercised over every depart ment. It may be mentioned, that by the employment of private agents, the changes of residence are now brought down to a later period than formerly, and the value of the " Directory" is conse quently enhanced. We have before spoken of it as Indispensable to i the proper management of business. Its authority is now so univer sally established, both at the Post-office and throughout the metro ' polls, that any further recommendation of it is superfluous. JOHN BULL, Nov. 28, 1846. This annual leviathan is already completed and published ; but as a proof that the rapidity with which it must have passed through the press has not operated against its careful accuracy, we may mention that the changes rendered uecessary by the very recent demise of 3i r. Stewart, M.P. for Renfrewshire, are duly attended to (See pages 1669 and 1676). We have so frequently expressed our approbation of this most valuable work, that we hardly know how to vary our ummendation. It contains everything that can 1 pos sibly be reqired in a ffireCtOry—so full, so comp lete, so compre hensive are all its details. And wheu to this we add the extreme ACGttracy which payadva owl department, we know not what elae can be said in its praise. The machinery by which ,uch volu minous information is obtained, arrange and superintended, so as o arold errors, must o: itself be among the " curiosities" of modern literature. ATLAS, Nov. 28, 1646. A hook of this kind. brought out even without much pretension, would be indispensable toe very gentleman's library, every merchant's -ounting-house, and every trader's shop. But edited as this is, with .ne utmost care —its materials being collected through the most au thentic channels, and embracing in its range every head of personal and commercial intelligence essential to the completeness of sueli a work, we cannot suppose that any house, public or private, which can of a b lok of reference, will be without this compendious volume. The arrangement is admirable. You can find any name you want in a moment. All the heads are clear and complete--the Court—trades—streets—offices—hotels, forming, upon the whole, a mass of local information such as could not be brought together with out extraordinary industry, assisted by an entire command of all equisite official facilities. As a mere compilation, it is probably the most wonderful on record. ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 28, 1546. This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus tains the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" of late Yeats. In the preface the proprietor maintains that the high character of the work is not referable to its mere connexion with the Post-office ; for an important change has been gradually introduced into the man ner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the work theft heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely uncon nected 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, but has introduced many impor tant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its bulk with out any increase of price. The Postal Directory' is especially im proved, and there are numerous changes 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 labours are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial country this is an indispensable volume. RAILWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846. The new volume of the Post-office Directory for 1847 is already in out hands, and we can only express oar wonder that a work se laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved. It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. The pro ductioo o: a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has placed in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and indispensable aid in carrying on the business of this ♦ast metropolis, which would indeed lee subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense if it were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our readers will have an opportunity of judging for themselves on pur chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any degree exaggerated. lIERAPATH'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846. The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and improvements upon its valuable predecessor, but with no 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 net 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 possession of Government. But should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its con ductors will go home to the consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw clown the grasping interference of Govern ment. "It can only be necessary to refer to a copy of the work pub lished 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 cha racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un wearied toil and application on the part of those engaged in the com pilation of the work) are duly appreciated, is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the Directory' passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully with this. They have disappeared." Kelly and Co., 19 and 20, Old Rosviell-ceurt, Temple Bar, and all booksellers. PUBLICATIONS. On the 31st March, post Bvo, O Di 0. By the Author of TYPEE.

The h Eat 1 Grey ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, March 9. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron Rot. Fr..) Henry Walton, aged 37, stood charged with having on the 3d of December, 1846. at Midgley, in the parish of llalifax, feloniously assaulted Thomas Greenwood, and violently stolen from his person 35 half. crowns, and some shillings, his property. Mr. Pickering, with whom was Mr. Eastwood, conducted the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Matthews. It appeared that the prisoner and the prosecutor, who is also a farmer, had both been working for a Mr. mith, of Ilebden-bridge, from whom they had taken out wool to comb, and the prisoner had been so employed fir several years be tore the robbery. On the 3d cf December Greenwood, toge ther with others in the same employ, had brought work to the factory, and they had there received a 101. note, which was to be divided among them according to the several amounts of their wages. They went to an inn, called the Shuttle and Anchor, near the factory, and there, being fatigued, had something to drink. While there the prose cutor saw the prisoner enter, and he also stayed some time drinking. Greenwood did not leave till between eight and nine, or after nine, and then had about two miles to go from that place, Luddenfoot, to his residence, which was near to where the prisoner lived. When about half way two persons came behind him suddenly, and one of them knocked him down, when his money was taken and carried off. The blow was made with a bludgeon, and inflicted a wound on his head, which bled much. He was for some time deprived of his senses, and lay in the road; but upon coming again to him self he got up and went to the house of a man named Whit taker. It was a little before midnight. Whittaker took him in, and afterwards conducted him back to the public-house he had left. Greenwood was positive that the prisoner was one of the men by whom he had been robbed ; said he was not drunk, though he might be a little " concerned" by what he had taken, which consisted of two glasses of rum and one quart of ale, and denied that he had told Whittaker he could not speak to the persons of those who had robbed him. In addition to this, Mr. Smith, one of Greenwood's em p'fiyers, stated that he had seen both Greenwood and the rrisoner at the Shuttle and Anchor that evening, when Greenwood was certainly somewhat the worse for liquor. And two women, living close by, stated that the prisoner had been at their houses that night, and had left one of them just before the robbery. To go to his own house he would have to take the road upon which the prosecutor had met with the violence. The whcle case appeared to depend upon the evidence of the prosecutor, and whether he had really been sufficiently in his senses to identify either of the robbers, and to recollect what account he had himself given of the transaction. For the defence, Mr. Matthews having ascertained from Smith that the prisoner had been working as a woolcomber fur four or five years, and constantly maintaining his family by his wages, proceeded to examine witnesses to prove an alibi, and to show that Walton was, in fact, at home and in bed at the time of the offence. This was spoken to by the prisoner's sister, and another person who had met him on the road near his house. In addition to which, Wm. Whittaker, to whom the prosecutor went that night, swore that he (Greenwood) had declared immediately after the robbery that he was unable to say who committed it. He had said that there were two men who so came behind him, but that he did not know them. After some deliberation by the jury, the prisoner was Acquitted. WESTERN ClRCUlT—Salisbury, March 9. CROWN COURT.—( Before Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) James Russell was indicted for having feloniously set fire to a certain rick of straw, the property of Eliza Bell. Mr. Slade was counsel for the prosecution. The prisoner was undefended. It appeared that on the night of the 2d February last, a neighbour of Mrs. Bell's was looking out of his window just before going to bed, and his attention was attracted to a light in the rick yard of Mrs. Bell, and on looking more particu larly he saw that one of her ricks was on fire. The fire flashed up the rick, and the witness saw a man stooping down under the rick by the fire. On the fire flashing up, as it was described to do by the witness, the man stood up and became distinctly visible, the rick not being above 100 yards from the window. The man was dressed in a pair of leather gaiters, smock frock, and high-crowned hat. He then ran away. The witness immediately went to the rick to give assistance, and there saw a policeman, who came up at the same moment, and whom he informed as to what he had seen, and the direction which the man who had been seen by him at the rick had taken, and also described his dress. Evidence was then given to show that the prisoner was ap prehended between four and five o'clock the next morning, when he was dressed in the way described by the first wit ness. He was found in an outhouse, lying amongst some straw, and said, when he was apprehended, that be had been lying there ever since nine the night before. It was then proved that the prisoner, who was a labourer and out of work, had on various occasions threatened to injure the pro secutrix, because her bailiff had refused to give him work, it was also proved that the prisoner was going towards the place where the rick was burned just before the fire broke out. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL having summed up, The jury fount the prisoner Guilty, and he was then sen tenced to ten years' transportation. James Glass was indicted for having stolen two promissory notes of the value of 'U. each, tie property of Mark Sawyer. Mr. Rogers and Mr. Poulded conducted the prosecution; the prisoner was undefended. Mr. ROGERS having opened the case to the jury. Mr. Justice CRESSWRLI. State d that it appeared to him that a very important question would he raised in it, as to whether any larceny had been committed • but he should not stop the case, but let it go to the jury, and, if necessary, reserve the point for the consideration of the fifteen judges. Mr. Mark Sawyer, a millwright, living at Cheveril, stated that he had occasion to make a remittance to a Mr. Ormond, of Milksham, and Mr. Rawlings, of Trowbriege. He ad dressed two envelopes to those gentlemen. He gave them to his wife with two 51. notes, with some instructions on paper to the postmistress to obtain a post-office order for si. for Mr. Rawlings, and one for Mr. Ormond. The notes were shown to him two days after. Mary Sawyer, the wife of the last witness, proved taking the notes and the envelopes to Mrs. Dutch, the postmistress at Cheveril, and also the paper of instructions. Mrs. Dutch proved that she received the notes, envelopes, and instructions from Mrs. Sawyer. The Cheveril office was a sub,ffice to Westbury, and the prisoner was the letter carrier from Westbury to Cheveril. She gave Ilia) the two M. notes with the envelopes and instructions, directing him to get post-offiee orders for them, and put them in the enve lopes and send them. She then asked him if she should put them in the Cheveril letter-bag. He said yes, a nd she did so, with the letters, wrappi ng up the notes and envelopes in the paper of instructions. She then tied up the bag, which was one kept for the convenience of the postmistress, that the letters should not become mixed. The letter bill was also put in the bag. The prisoner had authority to open the bag at Bretton. This bag was then put into a pouch, which he wore around his shoulders, with another bag . It was no part of her duty to obtain post-office orders for persons, nor was it the duty of the prisoner to carry instructions to obtain such orders. Miss Hurd, the niece of the postmistress at Westbury, was then called, and stated that on the morning of the -- the prisoner came to the Westbury office with the letters. Ile gave her his pouch, saying, " There are two 51. notes in the Cheveril bag for post-office orders for Mr. Sawyer." Tile witness, on looking into the pouch, found that the Che veril bag was not there. She told the prisoner this, and he said, "Then I am a ruined man." He then said that he had been taken ill on the road to Bratton, that he had opened the pouch to look for a piece of paper which had been wrapped round some let e - ters which had been given him to post, an d be suppos h had dropped the Cheveril bag out. He then went away, saying he would go back and see if he could find it. Some little time after he returned with the Clieveril bag, and gave it to witness. The letters were all right, and correspon not d with the writing in the letter bill, but the notes weree Lad there. He then held up two envelopes, and said . h ad found them by the side of the bag. They were twisted uP, and he said he had found them in that state, and there was ' nothing in them. Upon this Warner, an inspector of police, was sent for. The prisoner was then asked by the inspector how lie came to lose the money. and he gave the same ac count of the transaction as he d id to the last witness. The inspector told him that his story was inconsistent, and asked him to allow himself to be searched, which, after some hesitation, he consented to. He was searched, nothing was found on him, and he then took the inspector to the place where he said he had stopped on the road. Nothing, however, was found there. He was then taken to the station. A policeman was then called, who stated that he saw the prisoner's wife's son on the morning after the prisoner was taken up. lie went to the l o ck-up-house, where d in his father was confined. He then wen t away, and returne abo half an hour; he then spoke to the witness, and !gave him ' two five-pound notes, w hi c h were produced. Edwin Orchard, the son of the prisoner's wife, was then called, and stated that he carried the prisoner his breakfast in the lock-up-house. His father-in-law told him to go home and ask his mother for two five-pound notes, and carry them about a mile out on the Bratton road, put them down and then bring them back and swear that he found them. He did so did as he w requested. He then went t o West bury, and gave the notes to the policeman. Mr. Sawyer was re-called, and identified the notes which had been given to the policeman as those he had given to the prisoner. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Justice CAESSWELL having summed up, the jury found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Justice CRESWELL then said that the impression on his mind was, that he ought to reserve a point for the con sideration of the judges on the question of whether the pri soner was not a mer e bailee, and not a ser vant to the pro secutor, and therefore could not commit a larceny of the property ; and it was clear that it was no part of his duty as letter - car rier to take the m one y fr om the prosecutor and carry it to the postmistress. He however would consider the point. William Harrell, a strong, athletic, resolute-looking man, of middle age, was indicted for robbery w i t h violence, Mr. BALL conducted the prosecution, 'rite prosecutor, an old man of the name of Roger Watts, was also that he was a sho emaker b y tra de , but that he also employed to collec t rents. On the day of the robbery s be had been out collecting rents, and in ,i t , heeye o n n in ey gw o e h n ! into a beer-house in the p arish of Keo v with m sisting of two or three sovereigns and a good many and sixpences. There wer e several p e rsons in the shillings beer-house who appeared to be conducting themselves somewhatrri lot ously, and to have alarmed theohl,dmrlnahne agpopnedn edeal,d to know, for he asked a person who was there, w to accompany him home , for fear there should be an y dan ger, and then ordered and paid for a quart of beer to to be wilh d drank by the other men at the house. Thisperson ac cordingly accompany him a short distance, he left him and went back. On his way back he met the e prisoner, one of the persons who had been left at the beer house, and said to him," So, William, you didn't wait to have the beer.' The prisoner said," D — n the beer," and walked Shortly after this he must have knocked down the hpasrotsiel)c'uotonr. and robbed him. The prosecutor swore that he knew the man who knocked him down, and called him b saying, " William Harrell, if you rob me, don'ti 3 i; u h rd is er n m ain e. e4 He then became insensible for some m tit o n n e e , and when he came to himself he found that all his was gone ex cept one sixpence. The prisoner was afterwards f seen at a beer house at Bath, in the possession of a good deal omoney, and when he was afterwards taken into custody he had upon him one half-sovereign and a great many shillings and sixpences. 'He had been in regular work till lately, but for the last week or so he had been out of employ. It appeared by the cross examination that the prosecutor had been drinking in the course of the day, but he swore that he knew very well what he was about. Mr. C. SANDERS addressed the jury for the defence, and submitted that it was a question of identity, and that they ought not to rely upon the uncorroborated testimony of Watts on this point. He also called a witness, who gave the pri soner a good character for honesty. The jury almost immediately found the prisoner Guilty. Sentence deferred. HOME ClRCUlT.—Chclmsfurd, March 10. - - , CROWN SlDE.—(Before the I.onD CHIEF JUSTICE.) William Mason, 20, John Clegg, 21, and William Smith, 17, three miserable-looking lads, were indicted for feloniously setting fire to five stacks of corn, the property of Arthur Shuttleworth. Mr. Rodwell conducted the prosecution. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor is a farmer at Upruinster, and on the 26th of September, about one o'clock in the day, he saw that the stacks in question were safe in the rick-yard, and the prisoners were observed sitting upon the gate leading into it. Very soon afterwards the stacks were observed to be on fire, and although the neighbours speedily rendered all the assistance in their power the result was that two stacks of wheat, and three others composed of beans, peas, and oats, worth altogether 2401., were entirely consumed. The case against the prisoners was that they were upon the spot at the moment the fire appeared to break out, and they immediataly made off, without offering to render any assistance, and were taken into custody a mile and a half from the place, and upon their being searched an empty Lucifer match-box was found in Smith's pocket. The pri soners were entire strangers to the neighbourhood, and it would seem that they had been begging about the country. There did not appear to be the slightest motive for the act, except that it was suspected they had not received much charity from the persons living in the neighbourhood, and committed the offence out of a feeling of revenge. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners, but re commended them to the merciful consideration of the Court on account of their youth. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said that he was always anxious to give effect to a recommendation of mercy coming from the jury, and he should do so in this case, to the extent of not inflicting the full sentence of transportation, but it was absolutely necessary that persons convicted of this odious offence should receive a severe punishment. In the present state of the country, and the prospects before them, the destruction of grain was not only doing a great mischief to the owners of such property, but to the whole population of the country, and if the crime should go on spreading, the consequences could hardly be conceived. He then sentenced the prisoners to be transported for ten years. In the course of the day, the grand jury returned two true bills of perjury and conspiracy against some of the parties who were examined as witnesses before the coroner, in the inquiry respecting the murder of the police-constable at Dagenham. The ti ial will not come on at the present assizes, as the charges only amount to a misdemeanour, which entitles the defendants to traverse, and the indictment, therefore, will not be disposed of until the summer assizes. CIVIL SIDE. Chief Justice Wilde got through the list of causes by two o'clock to day, the only case which was likely to occupy any time having been referred to arbitration. MIDLAND CI 11C,'Ul l'.—Lincoln, March 9. CLOTHING V. JAMES. This was an action to recover 1001., the value of a horse sold under a warranty of soundness. Mr. llumfrey, Q.C., and Mr. Waddington, were for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Whitehurst, Q.C., and Mr. Macauley, were for the defendant. The plaintiff is an extensive horse-dealer at Grantham ; the defendant breeds and sells horses, his residence being at Nottingham. The horse in question (a bay gelding) was sold at Nottingham fair for 100/., but the morning after his arrival at Grantham he coughed and showed symptoms of disease, and died in three months from the time of sale. There was nothing in the case to distinguish it from the common run of such cases, there being the usual quantum of hard swearing in opposite directions. The jury retired, and after an absence of four hours, came into court, the foreman intimating that there was no proba bility; of their agreeing to a verdict. One of the jury called out, "We are nine to three, my Lord." Ultimately it was agreed the jury should be discharged from giving a verdict. ACTION FOR SLANDER—LEE V. JACKSON. Mr. Humfrey, Q. C., and Mr. W. H. Adams were for the plaintiff; Mr. Whitehurst, Q. C., and Mr. Wilmore appeared for the defence. The plaintiff (Mary Lee) is about fifty years of age, the sister of a respectable farmer, occupying about 400 acres. The defendant is also a large farmer, in whose service the plaintiff had been for five years in the capacity of house keeper. Upon some slight quarrel she left, and at the time the slanderous words were spoken, she was in the service of a Mr. Foreman. In the autumn of 1845 she was on her way from BOita - ta Limerick by the packet-boat, and com plaining of being unwell from the heat of the vessel, the de fendant, who was on board, said, "A glass of gin would do Miss Lee good." Plaintiff replied, that if she wanted such a thing she could get it, as Mr. Collard, the packet-master, sold it. lle then said, " You have been drunk scores of times in my house, and have carried stones after stones of bacon of mine by this very packet." These were the words com plained of. The defendant simply pleaded the general issue, not guilty. Mr. WHITEHURST characterised the action as a trumpery one, which ought to be laughed out of court. The LEARNED JUDGE observed, in his summing up, that the plaintiff was entitled to some damage for the attack made on her character, the jury would say what. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, one farthing. (Special Jury.) HUNTLEY, CLERK, V. RUSSELL AND ANOTHER. This was an action brought to recover damages for the dilapidation of the rectory of Binbrook, in this county. The action was brought by the present rector against the exe cutors of the late incumbent. The defendant had paid 2001. into court, and denied further damage. The case was of no interest except to the parties concerned. There was conflicting evidence as to the amount of damages between the plaintiff's witnesses, one of them putting it below the amount paid into court. The jury found for the defendants, a point being reserved of the counts as to waste. OXFORD CIRCUIT—Oxford, March 10. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice MAULE.) William Cars was indicted for the murder of Hannah Treadwell, on the 4th August last, at Henley, in this county. Mr. Carrington and Mr. Piggot conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Keating the defence. The facts appeared to be these :—The prisoner, who was a married man, had carried on for some years an improper con nexion with the deceased, who was a widow, and latterly in very reduced circumstances. She and he frequently quar relled of late, and she was in the habit of following him through the village, and importuning him for money, and abusing him. She, further, wa s jealous of him, and was constantly making imputations against some of the neighbouring women. On the morning in question the prisoner, who had a small piece of ground outside the village, was going out towards it with a gun, which he was in the habit of carrying in his hand; and he unfortunately met the deceased, who immediately commenced making one of those jealous charges against him, in reference to a neighbour's wife, to whom he had spoken going along. A scolding quarrel was the result, and she followed him through the village, and into a path leading to his ground, and they were seen no more for some time, until a shot was heard in the direction in which they had gone. He was seen returning soon after through the street in a hurried and ex cited manner. Two men went in the direction in which the shot was heard, and found the deceased on a bank about 15 feet higher than the pathway, quite dead. There was a gun shot wound under the chin, which completely severed the carotid artery, and produced almost immediate death. A constable and some neighbours went to arrest the prisoner, and he at once said, " I have done it. I must suffer the law, and it will be a warning to others." The prisoner's gun was found loaded, and on being asked why he had loaded it a second time, he said he had done so for the purpose of shoot himself; but on consideration he thought it would be better Ito have time to repent. The prisoner gave different ac counts of the transaction. He once said that they were quarrelling as they went along, and he meant to have knocked her down with the gun, but it went off he knew not how. Another time he said, "It was all her doing; she was telling such lies about me, and throwing stones at me. The other day she threw a stone at me, and cut my lip. As I was going along the path, she followed me on the bank, abusing me. I stepped up the bank, intending to knock her down, but I could not reach her, and I turned the gun and shot her. Ido not know how it was I pulled the trigger." Mr. EWING having addressed the jury for the prisoner, His LORDSHIP summed up, and the jury, after about ten minutes' deliberation, returned a verdict of manslaughter. His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, said the jury had put a merciful construction on the facts given in evidence, in thinking that the prisoner might have had such provocation as would reduce his offence to the crime of manslaughter. It was, however, a most aggravated case, and deserving of the most severe punishment the law awarded to the crime of manslaughter, and the sentence should therefore be trans portation for life.

DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH POACHERS. On Saturday morning, as Keys and Frost, keepers to the Rev. John Bramston Stane of Forest Hall, High One•ar, were going their rounds between two and three o'clock, they came upon some poachers in the wood near Norton Hall, and when within five or six yards of them the villains fired a gun before a word had been spoken, but providentially the shot passed between the men, and they escaped' injury. The poachers then took to their heels, and the keepers gave chase, when Frost came up with a. man named Blowes, who turned round upon him, whirling the butt end of the gun, and had not Frost evaded the blow the consequences would doubtless have proved fatal to him. He, however, closed with the fellow, whose companion stopped to rescue him, when the other keeper came up , and with the butt end of his gun levelled the other poacher to the ground. The keepers then secured them both. During the affray a bull dog which Keys had with him %eized Blowes near the esye, and almost tore it out, and Keys in rescuing the dog was bitten through the hand.
