Prefixed to the volume is about the best 111 4 of London we happen to have met wills. MORNING HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846. t Ulky as the proportions of this indispensable work have hithert o been, the volume for 1847 comes forth under circumstances of still Eger enlargement. The experience of 47 years has obviously en abled 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 the trader is placed within convenient a cCess. The volume contains upwards of two thousand closely- Printed royal octavo pages, betokening a singular amount of indus *Y as a matter of compilation, and awakening astonishment at the c omprehensiveness of the machinery which could bring within a tetarnou focus so much varied and scattered intelligence—embracing as it does a multiplicity of heads, and involving the services of vast numbers of contributors. We believe that the present volume is not to be matched in the whole world ; for such a mammoth aggregate tif local and specific information is no less a typographical wonder, than a prodigious monument of diligence and enterprise. Some dozen or so of separate directories are included in this huge Ariodical—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 perso nages. This is followed by a " Street Directory," exhibiting the , : jradesmen in every thoroughfare, and'the pointS at which the streets are Intersected by those at ilight'anglemiz While the , " Commercial and Professional Directory" is an alphabetical arrangement of the above- Then comes a " Trades' Directory," In which the names are allocated - The' under their respective callings. " Law Directory" is a list of the judges, Queen's counsel. serjeants, barristers, attorneys. &c. with a outalogue of the various courts of law, their officers, and their pecu liarities of jurisdiction. The " Court Directory" comprises the ad dresses of the nobility and gentry; and the " Parliamentary Direc tory" is a record of the Members of the Houses of Lords and Com mons, 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 of 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 au thorities, the public companies, the brokers, the incumbents and mi nisters of churches and chapels. the newsnaper , , &c. ; and the "Conveyance 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 indi cate the multitudinous nature of the contents ; for out of them come a variety of subordinate directories, which meet every conceivable want, presenting a curious analysis of the public and private institu tions of the metropolis and of the c)mmercial world. Every person is to be found under his proper section, from a prime minister down a sheriff's officer—every establishment, from a palace to a g - honse. The Editor, in his Preface, takes occasten to congratu late himself on the many improvements he has this year introduced, P r incipally flowing from the employment of " selected agents , " in stead of the or di nary carr i ers o f th e Post-office. Among the specific _iterations the new postage treaty with Prussia, which comes into operation on the Ist of January, 1817, and disturbs to a considerable t e h lt e t e rn ut os t t h i e m r p fl o te rt s a ?!; . postage over a great part of the Continent, seems delivered. ~,,_ MORNING ADVERTISEB, Nov. 18, 1s 18 ju i6 st ..41 "Post-office London Directory, 1847,"., must he without it.

From very consid clerable examination of the marvellously' full and varied contents an Information on matters which it must be so difficult, laborious, and expensive to collect, we hesitate not to say that this unassuming wish is lib erally realised. It not only equals the best of its prede cessors, but i n several Particulars it surpasses all its precursors. The informatio n i s not only fuller in many respects, but there are several impertant alterations and editions, largely adding to the use hlness of the book. It is inti mate d , and truly, that although all p r oof that th ere has be conmetition has disappeared, the present volume is conspicuous en no relaxation In the multifarious labours to_ perfect the extraordinary work. In speaking of past success, it is observed that it has been " even in a pecuniary pointbenefi eltael to the public, is proved by the fact, that impor ant improve _ .nts and additions are annually made without any increase of reea result that, it is declared, " could not have been the case, price, t he Publis patronage been divided." With reference to the sr!onjtantl we certainly must acknowledge that it is wonderful how it can be profitable to provide such varied materials— and materials Y changing and requiring so much and such ceaseless la „..l4°___'icand cost to procure, and then to classify. Nothing but a t.re r7ei lons sale could make the speculation answer. Among the lin boirrtant alterations will be found those introduced into the .. Postal" ti .2 3ct ° l 7.

GLOBE, Nov. 21, 184. Invaluable work, the " Post-offic 6 e Directory," has just 1 2 0 ade its appearance for the ensuing year. The vast mass of man infor zu Ztely lon 'which this book contains m a k es i t not only des i rable hut ab msary as a part of the office furniture of every of `Justness,ne and scarcely less necessary, indeed, for every one else, who lo calities to know anyth i ng concerning the trades, professions, and c alititss of the great motropedis. In its present extended form, the book is an absolute curiosity • the labour and expense which it has c ost to bring it to its present ' state of perfection must have been im enge. In turning over its 2,000 pages, one hardly knows which most to be struck with and admire—the excellent arrangement and Utility of such a compilation, or the magnitude of the city which re- Ttires such a directory. 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 desi re d, or as it is well possible to conceive. The 'volume, moreover, contains an excellent map of London and the suburbs. corrected down to the latest strides of " bricks and mortar." WEEKLY DISPATCH, Nov. 15. 1846.

This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus tains the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" 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 ; for an important change has been gradually introduced into the manner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the work titan 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, but has introduced many im portant alterations in this volume for 1847 .4nd added to its bulk without any increase in price. The " PostaL Directory" is especially improved, and there are numerous Owiges 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 " Direett try" will find that his labour. are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial coun try this is an indispensable volume. RAILWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1546. The now '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 havu maintained its former reputation, it is a Lrreat merit to have surpassed itself. The produc tion of a work nm B alled 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 vast metropolis, which would indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and espense if it were no'. for a work of this kind. In a short time our readers will have theopportunity of judging for themselves on Fin - chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is iu any dei;ree ex4gcraie,l. BRITANNIA, Nov. 21, 1846. The French people have done themselves credit by their industrial expositions. But it must be acknowledged that, though ingeniyus and pretty, they appear quite insignirlca , 4 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 br lk ; and, keeping pace with the movement of society in amore imps rtant particular, it vigilantly seizes every opportunity of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete classificition. We find in this volume many instances of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively 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 sidence art, now brought down to a later period than formerly, and the value of the .• Directory" is consequently enhanced. We have before spoken of it as indispensable to the proper management of business. Its authority is now so universally established, both at the Post-office and throughout the metropolis, that any further recom mendation of it is superfluous. lIERAPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 184 G. 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 'a hich this important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to ,ay, 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 toil 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."

THE LONDON SE SON. A WORD TO THE LORDS AND COMMONS. Our rhymes (though addressed to the good Legislature), Are nothing of any political nature. 'Tis a matter of business on which we have written— A word to the Lords and the Commons of Britain ; For all in the state are concerned, more or less, With MOSES and SON'S noted warehouse for dress. 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 and rank, Whose favours, last year, were surprisingly 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.

PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 20.—A1l hopes of saving the above fine vessel are now abandoned, and a superintendent and party of men from Messrs. Penn's factory are ordered to proceed to the wreck and assist in taking out the engines, if that be practicable ; but, according to the latest news brought from the scene of the calamity, there is the greatest difficulty in approaching the wreck, owing to the continual dangerous surf and heavy rollers, which set in at the spot (near Chilton Chive), where the Sphynx is ashore. The Dragon steam frigate arrived off the coast yesterday, en route from the eastward to this port, to load with meal, and stayed to render any assistance she might be capable of, in conjunction with the Scourge steam-sloop, Commander Caffin ; the Porcupine steam-stoop, Lieutenant Robertson, (acting Commander), and the Echo tug, with Mr. Bellamy, assistant-master• attendant of this dockyard, and his party of men. The Stag revenue cutter, Lieutenant C. G. Clarke, was also at the spot, rendering such assistance as the circum stances admitted of. _ The Falmouth navy lighter returned from the wreck this afternoon, and reports that the vessels could not effect any communication with the wreck yesterday, nor was any com munication between the wreck and the shore practicable during the whole day from the bad state of the surf. The Falmouth had lent her boat to the Stag cutter to supply the placs of two of her (Stag's) own, which, with six men who were in each, attempting to approach the wreck, are missing. The Master (Mr. Wallis) of the Sphynx is reported dan gerously injured in his exertions to rescue four men from drowning, but continued working with unabated alacrity. Mrs. Cragg, the commander's wife, who was dangerously wounded while in the first boat which left the ship after striking, is still alive, and receiving every attention under the r(.of of the Rev. Mr. Fenwick. _ A report has been circulated in Portsmouth to-day that 29 men of the Sphynx are missing, but we cannot trace such re port to any authentic foundation. The Cowes and Ryde packets. just in (5 P.m.), bring us later news from the wreck than the above. The body of the gunner of the Scourge was washed ashore to-day. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 20.—Accounts this morning by the Falmouth lighter have been received. She is on shore off Chilton Chine, between Brixtone Bay and Brooke Bay. At low water there is communication with the shore, and Com mander Cragg has landed the people, and got a very consi derablo quantity of stores out of her; among them are the guns and cables. Mr. Watt's, builder's assistant of this dock yard, with sixty shipwrights, caulkers, and engineers, are on the spot, to lighten her by removing the engines and machi nery, previous to the attempt to r.moye her. She is about three cables' length from the tug vessels, and it will require, therefore, a great purchase and strong heave to move so large a mass as the Sphynx. The order for sending a detachment of marines from the St. Vincent has been countermanded, as the Sphynx's own party, some from the Scourge, and the revenue and coast-guard men, are ample to look after the Queen's stores. The crew are housed and victualled by the coast-guard. All the stores landed must be carted to Cowes, and re-shipped from thence, and the most active measures are adopting to get on shore everything that can be moved while the wind is off the land and the sea com paratively smooth; for directly the wind changes to west or south-west, and begins to blow strong, there is an end of the Sphynx. The most lamentable part of the account is that the people from the Falmouth lighter report the loss of life already to be ; but beyond the officer and boat's crew of the Scourge, only two boats, with twelve men, of the Stag revenue cutter, can be accounted for as missing. They put off to the assistance of the Scourge's men, but were turned over by the rollers, and perished in the ground swell. The sea is described to be as smooth as glass, but of a sudden the rollers and ground swell sends the water 20 feet high. The Scourge, Porcupine, Echo, and mooring lighters, are off the bay. The Scourge is anchored off Chilton Chine. The tides are high, and from the zeal which prevails with all hands, and the powerful aid that has been sent, it is possible she may be got off; but if there should be a risk of more life, it will be most desirable that the Sphynx should be abandoned. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)_ MOTTISTON, ISLE OF WIGHT, JAN. 20..—HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER SPHYNX. LATEST ACCOUNT. - The heavy ground swell having subsided, attempts were this day made to heave the ship out of her bed, but unsuccessfully. She was about six feet in the sand at the bows, and nearly as much in the clay and flatners at the stern. The hands on board hove on the anchors, and two steamers attempted to tow. She is so high that she is dry at low water; her funnel is still standing, and all hands Occluding the sixty ship wrights) are busily employed in getting her into a sea-going state. Since three o'clock it has come on thick again, with a light air from the S.E. All her guns, coals, &c., have been thrown overboard. Four of the unfortunate men drowned have been picked up, and there are hopes of obtaining the other three bodies at low water this day. A quantity of empty casks have been forwarded here from Portsmouth. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JANUARY 20. STOCK EXCHANGE.-The sales are-Birkenhead, Lancashire, and Cheshire, 13s.

THE SALFORD MURDER.—The examination of Susannah Johnson, charged with poisoning her husband, Thomas Henry Johnson, was brought to a close yesterday afternoon. at Salford, the bench fully committing her for trial at the next assizes. The inquiry has occupied several days during the last three weeks. It appears that the de- , ceased, who was a carter, was seized with sudden illness whilst eating some food which had been prepared by his wife. An inquest was held on the body, and the jury returned a verdict that the deceased died from inflammation of the bowels, but how caused there was no evidence to show. The boly was interred, and the subject had almost been forgotten, when the police were made acquainted with such facts as to warrant the apprehension of therisoner and the disinter meta of the body. At her examination, a female named Hardman deposed that the.prisoner purchased three penny worth of arsenic at her shop a day or two before the death of tae deceased. Mr. J. Leigh, surgeon, stated that in the post mortent examination he observed a metallic deposit which he believed to have been arsenic. That t e prisonerhe ensuing was removed t o Kirkdale gaol to await her trial assizes.

The following additional correspondence has been presented by the French Government to the Chamber of Peers : No. 1. THE EARL OF ABERDEEN TO THE DUKE OF SOTOMAYOR. Foreign-office, June 22, 1846. Monsieur le Duc,—You have informed me that you had been instructed to ascertain whether it would call forth the displeasure of the British Government if the Cabinet of Madrid should find it necessary, in the interest of the Spanish monarchy, to select some Prince as the future hus band of the Queen other than a member of the family of Bourbon ; and also whether, if France should resent this pro ceeding, and attempt to coerce the free action of the Spanish Government, it would be regarded with indifference by Great Britain. I can have no difficulty in answering these inquiries. I We have always denied, and still deny, the right or pre tension of the French Government to impose a member of any family upon the Spanish nation as the husband of the ' Queen, or to control in any manner the decLsion of a ques tion so purely Spanish. But we have felt, anlt have readily admitted, that there might be various reasons which should induce the Spanish Government preferably to select from the house of Bourbon a Prince for this station. Of these reasons, the desire on the part of Spain, and the interest of Spain, to maintain friendly relations with France, naturally be suppcsed to possess much weight. We, there fore, urged no objection against the proposal of seeking among the descendants of Philip V. for a husband for the Queen, provided such choice should be conformable to the inclinations of her Majesty and the interests of her Govern ment. _ _ _ We have never offered any objection to the selection of the Count of Trapani, when it was proposed to united Queen Isabella to her uncle; but, when this alliance had become manifestly odious to the nation, we ventured, although with out any English candidate or English preference, to point out the Infante Don Enrique as the Prince who appeared to us to be the most eligible, because the most likely to prove acceptable to the people of Spain. If it should be found that no descendant of Philip V. can safely be chosen, consistently with the bappines of the Queen, or with a due regard to the tranquillity of the country, the Spanish Government, in the exercise of their independent judgment, must act in such a manner as may be dictated by a sense of their own dignity and interest ; and in this case it could be no cause of displeasure to Great Britain if they were to select a Prince from some other family. Whatever might be the disappointment experienced by France at such a decision, I cannot for a moment admit the possibility of anything so unreasonable and unjust as an at tempt to control the choice of the Queen in a matter of this kind. The French Government must be perfectly aware that no marriage which does not accord with the wishes of the Queen, and receive the assent of her people, can be at all likely to promote the happiness of the Sovereign, or the welfare and prosperity of Spain. France is too deeply interested in the tranquillity of Spain, and the Court of the Tuileries is too much enlightened and too just, to entertain the notion of such an interference as that supposed. It may, therefore, be at once rejected as impossible. But if, contrary to all reason and probability, any such project, that is to say, an attempt to control the wishes and feelings of the Queen and the clearly understood will of her people, should be contemclated, there can be no doubt that Spain would not only receive the warmest sym pathy of Great Britain, but of all Europe. I sin, &c., ABERDEEN. No. 2. LORD PALMERSTON TO MR. BULWER. Foreign-office, July 19, 1846. I Sir,—There seem to be two questions which at the present moment prominently attract the attention of those who take an interest in the affairs of Spain : The one is the marriage of the Queen. The other is the political condition of the country. In regard to the first question, I have not at present any instructions to give you in addition to those which you have received from my predecessor in office. The British Government is not prepared to give any active support to the pretensions of any of the Princes who are now can didates for the Queen of Spain's hand, and does not feel itself called upon to make any objection to any of them. The choice of a husband for the Queen of an independent country is obviously a matter with which the Governments of other countries are not entitled to interfere, unless! there should be a probability that the choice would fall upon some Prince so directly belonging to the reigning family of some powerful foreign state that be would be likely to connect the policy of the country of his adoption with the policy of the country of his birth in amanner that would be injurious to the balance of power, and dangerous to the interest of other states. But there is no person of this description among those who are now named as candidates for the hand of the Queen of Spain, those candidates being reduced to three, namely, the Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, and the two sons of Don Francisco de Paula. I omittount Trapani and Count Montemolin, as there appears to be no chance of the choice falling upon either of them. As between the three candidates above-mentioned, her Ma jesty's Government have only to express their sincere wish that the choice may .fall upon the one.who may be most likely to secure the happiness of the Queen, and to promote the welfare of the Spanish nation. In regard to the second of the above-mentioned ques tions, namely, the political condition of Spain, I have not, any more than upon the first question, any particular in structions to give you at the present moment. That political condition must indeed be the subject of deep regret and concern to every well-wisher to the Spanish ci.. .1h... a t t Wllactla nr no..- 01 yaar.a' duration for consti • tutional freedom, Spain finds herself under a system of go vernment almost as arbitrary in practice, whatever it may be in theory, as any which ever existed in any former perijd of her history. She has indeed a Parliament bv law; but all freedom of election for the members of that Parliament has been over borne by force or by other means, and no sooner does the Parliament meet, than, upon the first manifestation of any opinion not in accordance with that of the executive Go vernment, the Parliament is either prorogued or dissolved. There is, indeed, by law, liberty of the press ; but that liberty has, by the arbitrary acts of the Government, been reduced to the liberty of publishing what may be agreeable to the Executive, and little or nothing else. There are, indeed, by law tribunals for the triads of per sons accused of offences and crimes; but numbers of persons have been arrested, imprisoned, banished, and even, in some cases, executed, not only without condemnation, but even without trial. This system of violence and of arbitrary power seems in some degree to have survived the fall of its author, and not to have been as yet entirely abandoned by the more mode rate men who have succeeded him in the Government. It is greatly to be hoped that the present Ministers in Spain, or those who may succeed them, will lose no time in returning to the ways of the constitunon and to obedience to the law. Such a system of arbitrary violence as that which has been pursued in Spain is likely to create open re sistance, even while it is administered by the strong hand and determined will of the individual by whom it has been organized ; but when it is no longer supported by the energy of its original author, and when an attempt is made t' continue it under a feebler and less daring direction, no great degree of sagacity can be required to tbresee that it must lead to outbreak; for, when the Ministers of the Crown set at nought the laws which provide fur the security of the people, it cannot be surprising if the people should at length cease to respect the laws which provide for the security of the Crown: It was certainly not for the purpose of subjecting the Spanish nation to a grinding tyranny that Great Britain en tered into the engagements of the Quadruple Alliance of 1835, and gave, in pursuance of the stipulations of that treaty, that active assistance which contributed so mate rially to the expulsion of Don Carlos from Spain. But her - Majesty's Government are so sensible of the inconve venience of interfering, even by friendly advice, in the inter nal affairs of independent states, that I have to abstain from giving you instructions to make any representations what ever to the Spanish Ministrs on these matters; but, though you will, of course, take care to express on no occasion;on these subjects sentiments different from those which I have thus explained to you, and although you will be careful not to express those sentiments in any manner or upon any occa sion so as to be likely to create, increase, or encourage dis content; yet you need not conceal from any of those per son 3 who may have the power of remedying the existing evils the fact that such opinions are entertained by the British Government. I am, &c. No. 3. PRINCE METTERNICH TO COUNT D'APPONY. (Translation.) Vienna, Jan. 4, 1847. Monsieur le Comte,—Viscount de Flahault has brought to my knowledge the dispatch which M. Guizot addressed to him on the 3d of December last, with orders to give me a copy. We have since been informed that dispatches of the same tenor had been addressed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the French missions at Berlin and St. Petersburgli. Riving laid the dispatch in question, before the Emperor our august master, and obtained his commands as to the answer to be made to this communication, I am authorised by his Imperial Majesty to address to you the following manifestations, which form the invariable basis and rule of his policy. They comprise the sentiments of the Emperor, which are in perfect accord with those of their Majesties of Prussia and Russia. His Imperial Majesty attaches to treaties all the value of sworn taith. He causes them to be respected, and feels himself entitled to expect that all other parties signing an engagement will respect on their sides all that the engagement contains. We do not admit r th ot a a t d a treaty cannot establish rights and charges. We do i i_ it o mit, on the other hand, that the ri g hts, or thearitvieesflmayt the charges they impose upon the contractingp e _ be carried beyond the limi ts which the con t rae d engage ment traces for them. We respect indepe.ndencies exact' 1., established, and we claim , therefore, the right of that our independence, like that of all states, should be equally respected. The measure which his Imperial Majesty has taken, in concert with the Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia, with regard to Cracow, has been with a conviction of the competent rights of his Imperial Majesty and the duties imposed upon him ;—of his rights, because the Emperor, in suffering the treaty of May 3 , 1815, to go into the general proceed in g s of the Con g re ss , did not intend to yield to all the other parties who signed hat act a right belonging exclusively to the parties c,,ntractin, that of May 3 ;—of his duties, because those which his Imperial Majesty sh rov a Providence t political o had to fulfil towards the people intrusted b his care would not permit him to re-establish body, which, after having contravened for a long series of years the conditions in its respect for which its independence was founded, has ended in sacrificing the political existence granted to it to insurrectional projects hostile to all govern mental and to social order. The Emperor, while regretting deeply that there should be any difference of opinion between the French-Cabinet and the three Courts on the subject of the point of rightlin'th,ivailuestion, flatters himself, neverthe loss, that their views meet in the common resolution of all the Courts to observe, and cause to be observed, scrupu lously, the treati es in their true and literal sense and in their spirit. Your Excellency will be pleased to bring this present dispatch to the k now l e d ge of M. Guizot, an d rem i t t o him a `copy of it. `~. ~r ~~ _ - The Right Hon. the Home Secretary on Wednesday trans mitted to the Lord Primate, and also to the Archbishop of York, the Queen's Letter in aid of the subscription for the distressed population in Ireland and the Highlands of Scot land. The following is a copy of the document : "Queen's Letter to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury for a collection in aid of the subscriptions entered into for the relief of a large portion of the population in Ireland and in some districts of Scotland. " Victoria R., " Most Reverend Father in God, our right trusty and right entirely beloved councillor, we greet you well. Whereas a large portion of the population of Ireland, and in some dis tricts of Scotland, is suffering severe distress, owing to the failure of the ordinary supplies of food; and whereas many of our subjects have entered into voluntary subscriptions for their relief, and have at the same time humbly prayed us to issue our royal letters, directed to the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Archbishop of York, authorising them to promote contributions v; ithin their respective pro vinces for the same benevolent purpose; " We, taking the premises into our royal consideration, and being always ready to give the best encouragement and coun tenance to such humane and charitable undertakings, are graciously pleased to condescend to their request, and we do hereby direct that these our letters be by you communicated to the several suffragan bishops within your province, ex pressly requiring them to take care that publication be made hereof on such Sunday in the present or the ensuing month, and in such places within the respective dioceses as the said bishops shall appoint; and that upon this occasion the mi nisters in each parish do effectually excite their parishioners to a liberal contribution, which shall be collected the week following at their respective dwellings, by the chuchwardens and overseers of the poor in each parish ; and the ministers of the several parishes are to cause the sums so collected to be paid immediately into the hands of th e B an k o f E ng l an d, t o be accounted for by theWincl applied to the carrying on and promoting the above-mentioned good designs. " And so we bid your very heartily farewell. " Given at our Court at St. James's, the thirteenth day of January, 1847, in the tenth year of our reign. " By her Majesty's command, " G. GREY. •" To the most Reverend Father in God, our right trusty and right entirely beloved councillor, William Lord Arch bishop of Canterbury, Primate of all England and Metro politan." The letter to the Archbishop of York is an exact transcript of the above. The documents were in the hands of the Queen's printer yesterday, but no issue will be made before Monday next. CHARGE OF FRAUD AGAINST A MAJOR'S DAUGHTER. —Wednesday Miss Matilda Brew, twenty-six years of age, the daughter of Major Brew, residing on Uxbridge Moor, was finally examined before Messrs. T. Dagnall and R. H. Cox, the sitting magistrates at Uxbridge, on the following charges of obtaining goods under fraudulent pretences. The first case gone into was for having obtained two cap fronts from the shop of Mr. G. G. Western, milliner, at Hil lingdcn End. It appeared that on the 2d instant the pri soner went to the above shop and asked to see some cap fronts. saying they were for Mrs. Bedborough, the wife of a larg? grocer in tTxbridge, and that one of them must be a pink satin one, as that was for a young lady who was staying at Mrs. Bedborough's, who had a fair complexion, and had fixed on one of that colour. She selected two fronts of the description she wished, and Miss Western lent her a box to take them in. After she had left with them another cap front, made up cf blue satin ribbon, was missed from the shop, which led to inquiries being made at Mrs. Bed borough, and the discovery of the fraud. On the 4th inst., 13eachey, a policeman of the T division, executed a distress warrant at the house of Major Brew, and there found in a cupboard two pieces of the two cap fronts, and the blue satin one, which had been stolen. The prisoner was not at that time at home, but the policeman traced her to the house of Mr. Lovejoy, at Iver, tucks, and from there to the house of another friend, in Andrew's-buildings, City-road, where he took her into custody. In the second case the evidence proved that the prisoner, on the Bth of October last, went to the shop of Mr. Jesse Jones, draper, of Uxbridge, saying that she was Miss Heming, of Hillingdon, and upon that re presentation obtained a shawl, for which she did not pay, which shawl was found at her father's house when searched by policeman Peachy. In the third case it appeared that on Oct. 30. the prisoner also went to the shop of Mr. G. Lane, draper, of Uxbridge, and asked to see :tome dresses for her sister, saying that her name was Western, and that she was the daughter of the prosecutor in the first case, and upon that representation obtained three dresses to show which had never been returned. The prisoner was committed for trial on each of the three charges, but on the application of Major Brew, who attended the examination, she was admitted - to bail, herself in 501. and two sureties in 25/. each, in each case. Charles Shell, late a shopman to Mr. Jesse Jones, the prosecutor in the second case, was subsequently charged with having robbed his employer of property and money to a large amount. It appeared that the prisoner's depredations were discovered before he left Mr. Jones's employ, but his friends making good to Mr. Jones the amount, no proceedings were taken. It was subsequently ascertained that the amount was much greater than was supposed, and that he had placed eighteen sovereigns in the hands of a female, and another lot of sovereigns was buried in a garden. Inspector Cook, 'l' division, stationed at Uxbridge, apprehended the prisoner at another situation at Woodford, in Essex. The prisoner was remanded until Monday next for the production of the necessary witnesses. fAINLESS SURGICAL OPERATION.—The operation of lit hotomy was on Wednesday performed at the Ophthalmic Hospital by Mr. C. Guthrie, the patient (a male adult) having previously been thrown into a state of stupor by the inhalation of ether, administered by Mr. Robinson's appa. ratus. The experiment was quite successful, the man, upon his recovery from the effects of the ether, declaring that he had not been conscious of the least pain. He exclaimed, " It's all right—thank you, gentlemen," upon being re moved _from the operating table. Subsequently a woman vas operated on for strabismus. The ether, however, in this case, did not produce the usual effect. It ought, however, to be stated that to a defect in the apparatus the failure was at tributed. FEARFUL ACCIDENT AT THE CAMDEN TOWN RAIL WAT STATION.—On Tuesday night, between nine and ten o'clock, an accident of a most fearful character occurred at the Camden Town railway station to a man, named James Saunders, aged twenty-six, employed by the company. It ap pears that the unfortunate man was at the hour above stated employed in running off the waggons with the down-train luggage, when he was suddenly caught between the buffers, and so seriously injured as to render his immediate removal to the University College Hospital necessary, where he was placed under the care of Dr. Quain, the house physician, who prunvunccd him to be in a dangerous state. He remains now in a very precarious condition. ItArx,way ACCIDENT.—BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.- An accident of a serious nature occurred at the entrance of the Stour Valley line of railway in this town this morning. A man employed in sinking a shaft became so seriously affected by the sulphuric exhalations, that he fell off the bucket in which be was ascending, and fell to the bottom. Or. being brought to the top, the unfortunate man was so much injured that it uas deemed necessary to convey him to the General Hospital, V 6 here in a few hours afterwards he DEATH OF CHRISTOPHER BLACKETT, ESQ., LATE M.P. FoR SOUTH : s 4: II THUMBERLAND.—This gentleman died on the 16th instant, at Wessie, .Nordiumberliaid, aged fifty-nine. He was formerly iu the army, and for many years held a commission in the 18th Hussars, no": dis banded. During the first Parliament of the reign of Wil liam IV. he represented the borough of Beeralston, in Devon, a constituency which was disfranchised by the Reform. In 1836, on the death of Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart., he was a can didate for the representation of Newcastle-upon-Ta ne, but was unsuccessful. He was elected for his native county in 1837, without opposition, but ceased to be its representative in 1841. In 1818, Mr. Blackett married Elizabeth, daughter and co-heiress of Montagu Burgoyne, Esq., which lady died some year since. CUSTOM HOUSE NOTlCE.—Wednesday the Commis sioners of Customs gave notice that all vessels of 100 tons and upwards, before they can be cleared from any of the ports of the United Kingdom the master must put in a certificate, according to the Otis and 10th of Vic., c. 100, at the time of signing the ships " contents," or if in ballast, of the " ballast declarat ien." On Wednesday, the 20th inst., a General Assembly of the Academicians was held at the Royal Academy of Arts, in Trafalgar-square, when John Prescott Knight, E.A., was elected deputy-secretary to that institution. We hear that Jenny Lind is expected to sing at Paris in February, and that she will appear in London, at her Majesty's Theatre, in the course of the summer. Three new operas and three new ballets are talked of, the former being Meyerbeer's Silesian Camp, Rossini's Robert Bruce, and one by Verdi, the subject of which is Lord Byron's Corsair. —Brighton Gazette. FOSSIL REMAINS OF MAN.—It has been generally alleged by geologists that no fossils of the human species have ever been found among the remains of other animals so frequently turned up in their researches. But a Dr. Dicke son, of Philadelphia, has discovered a bone in the vicinity of Natches, which the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences pronounced to have been the bone of a man. Nat chez is a region which is said to abound with the relics of an antediluvian era. It was found with other organic remains in a stratum of tenacious blue clay that underlies the dilu vial drift east of Natchez, and in this diluvial drift the bones of toe Megalonyx were discovered. In the record of the meeting of the Philadelphia Academy, October 6th ultimo. the United Slates Gazette find the following :—" Dr. Dickeson presented another relic of yet greater interest, viz : the fossil os innominatum of the hu man subject, taken from the above-mentioned stra tum of blue clay, and about two feet below the skeletons of the Megaton) x and other extinct genera of quadrupeds. This ancient relic of our species is that of a young man about 16 years of age, as determined by its size and form, and by the fact that the eeihyses have separated from the tuberosity of the ischium, and front the crista of ilium.

CHILD MtatDER.--Wednesday Mr. Mills held an inquest, at the C Leieea workhouse on the body of a newly born infant, which had been found on the 12th inst. in a drain connected with a water closet belonging to the neigh bouring cemetery, but to which there was generally public access. No clue had been discovered as to the parents or other parties to whom the child had belonged. Mr. Warner, the surgeon, who had opened the body, said it had been born alive and without medical aid. He had found a piece of twisted cloth tied very tightly round the neck, and from the appearances of the brain he was satisfied that the child had died from wilful strangulation. The jury, without hesi tation, returned this verdict, " That deceased had been found exposed, (lead, and wilfully murdered by some person or persons unknown." THE CITY DISPENSARY.—On Wednesday the half yearlv• general meeting of the . governors and subscribers to this charity was holden at the Dispensary in Queen-street. teheapside. The report stated that during the past year §,600 necessitous patients had been rat( ved, of whom he greater part had been cured or greatly I elieved. This financial statement showed the expenditure has exceeded the receipts during the past year by nearly 2001. ~~
