MORNING CHRONICLE. Nov 20, 1846. The powers of expansion exhibited by this most useful annual Volume appear realty unlimited. Publishe 1 during a series of forty eight years, in a metropolis whose dwellings increase in number by a Yearly average of some fourteen thousand, and whose commerce eat'lluds in st E 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 !thief' the really enormous difficulties of his task have been overcome by the indefatigable publisher has been proyeet by the experience of matt- years ; and we need say little more than that the present volume presents the same tokens 3A its predecessors, of intellgent Ineth,d and ing,nuity of arrange vent in packing into reasonable COITI Pass and producing in lucid order ite mil ions of facts and reference. Within two thousand pages every man may learn "crYthing he ought to know about every one of his co-dwellers in the great metropolis, their businesses, as wel as everything neces eery 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-olllce. We find the information given under those heads not only as 1 - 1111 and ac citrate 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. Prefixed to the volume is about the best Map of London we ppen to have met with. M•MM.SM•SSIMIWI_ NO. 16)982. LONDON, MONDAY MORNING SUN, FEBRUARY 22, 1847. PRICE SD. requisite official facilities. As a mere compilation, it is probably the most wonderful on record. ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 28, 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 man ner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the work than 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 introduce.l 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 our bands, 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 have maintained its former reputations ; It is a great merit to have surpassed itself. The pro duction of 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 an the business of this vast metropolis, which would indeed Ise 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. - HERAPATIPis' RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21. 1846. The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and improvements noon 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 tenns to say, national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation. We know not whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in the ensuing session as was done in the last, to wrest it from the hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the force of might over right in the possessions 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 down 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 pilationof the work) are duly appreciated, is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the Directory' passing to its present proprietor, rival books Lotscded successfully with this. They have dintppeared." Kelly and 19 and 20, Old Bos.well-ceurt, Temple Bar, and all booksellers. FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD.

POSTSMOUTTI, FEE. 19.—The wind ever since lastSatUrclay has been blowing strong from the S.W., with squalls of rain and thick weather. Nothing could lie outside the Wight, consequently Captain Austen, with the Echo, the African, and Monkey steamers, with the yard lighters, were obliged to get shelter inside the island in Yarmouth Roads. The vessels remained there to be ready to take advantage of any favour able change in the weather; but none occurred before the tides " took off." On Wednesday Lieut. Thompson with the Victory's men, returned to Portsmouth in the African. Cap tain Austin, Mr. Bellamy, and all the shipwrights and rig gers have this morning returned from Yarmouth. The lighter and yard vessels and steamers have also come up, and on:further attempt will now be made. The Sphynx still re mains in the same state as formerly. It was a mistake that she was driven broadside on. She lies with her bow to the sea, and the recent spring tides, although the rollers come in heavily, have not further injured. Neat springs are again spoken of as to another attempt to float her; but we think as the sea does not appear to injure her, that the next at tempt will be deferred till May, when there will be a better chance of fine weather. FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. THE SPEECH OF THE SPRING; OR, THE DAWNING AND THE WARNING. The Spring (if we rightly remember the story) Assembled her subjetts with monarch-like glory. At the Palace they met, for she summons them there, To declare she was nigh, and to bid them prepare, She warn'd the sweet flowers their tributes to bring, And hoped that the birds would get ready to sing ; She spoke to the streamlets, the fields, and the trees, And the butterfly-tribes, and the ants and the bees. And as soon as Her law had to these been laid down, Her Majesty turfed tier attention to town. She addressed the gay pleasure-grounds form'd for diversions, And bade all the steam-boats prepare for excursions. Her speech was a long one, but lest we should fidget, We shall not give the whole of the speech, but abridge it. In teuehing on dress, she alluded to none Rut the greatest of tradesmen, E. MOSES and SON. Prepare, (said the Spring, while she pointed her finger,) Prepare ! for the Winter will soon cease to linger ; epare, Messrs. MOSES ! Prepare your new styles ! (Awl here the Queen gazed with her choicest of smiles.) Many thousands (said she), as my dawning discloses, Are preparing to visit the Dress Mart of MOSES. Many thousands will purchase their dress-coats and frock, And the over-coats also, from such a choice stock. And what better dress can my subjects all wear ; Prepare, Messrs. MOSi , :S ! i bid you prepare. LIST OF PRICES. SIAM MADE. TIMES, Nov. 18, 1846. . T he forty-eighth annual publication cf this work—the volume for 1847-1 s now Issued.

Wootwicu, FEB. 19.—The Undine steam•vessel (late the Ondine) has been purchased by the Board of Admiralty for her Majesty's Government, and will be employed as a packet. She was navigated to this port from Blackwall yesterday afternoon. Her power is 106 horses, and her speed was as certained on the recent trial to be 15 miles per hour. The Cyclops steam-vessel was brought from Sheerness on Wednesday to Woolwich, to have her machinery thoroughly overhauled and repaired. The Kite steam-vessel was taken into the basin yesterday to have her engines put .in, which will occupy about two months, when she will be brought forward for commission. The Mastiff surveying -vessel, Commander Beecher, is in dock for the purpose of hating her bottom examined, and will be ready to leave this port to resume her duties about the end of March.

The experience of 47 years has obviously enabled the proprietor, Mr. Frederick Kelly, to produce a Directory 0 ,..!

These various heads will serve to indicate the multi tudinous nature of the contents, for out of them come a variety of sub ordinate directories, which meet every concei vable want, pre senting a curious analysis of the public and private institutions of the metropolis and of the commercial world. Every person is to be found under his proper section, from a prime minister down to a sheriff's officer—every establishment, from a palace to a lodging house. The editor, in his preface, takes occasion to congratulate himself on the many improvements he has this year introduced , Prtheipally flooring from the employment of" selected agents," instead of the ordinary carriers of the Post-office. Among the specific alterations, the new postage treaty with Prussia, which came into Operation on the Int of January, 1847, and disturbs to a considerable extent the rates of postage over a great part of the Continent, seems the most important. MORNING ADVERTISER, Nov. 18, 1846. The "Post-vales London Directory: 1847," is just delivered. Though it is apparently limited to London, it is in reality a national work. None of the leading towns can well be without it ; it must be an essential to every counting-house in the kingdom, as well as to every place of business is and about the metropolis. It is an invalu able work of its kind ; and the extent and minuteness of its useful de tails are truly worlds' ful. Being prepared " under the immediate and sPoclal patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General," the amplest and completest means were, of coarse, at the command of the pro- Prietor, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy of the voluminous and erowdod contents of the bulky work. The present is the forty eighth annual publication. Few commercial and trading men can now require particular description of the resin, important and useful information, to almost every party in any sort of business, occupying the two thousand closely but clearly printed octave pages of this Di rectory. Preceded by an admirable and perspicuous Map of London, prepared expressly, it is declared, for the work, by Mr. B. It. Davies, there arc divisions comprising, among other information, " Ofllcial," "Street," " Commercial," "Trades," " Law," "Court"" " Parlia mentary," " Postal," " City," "Conveyance," " Bankin;," and many other Directories. The hope is expressed is the preface that this forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-ofilce London Directory" may be found "in all pespects to equal the best of its predecessors." From very consider able examination of the marvellously full and varied contents and information on matters which it must be so difneult, labori 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 prede cessors, but in several particulars it surpasses all its predecessors. The information is not only fuller in many respects, but there are several important alterations and additions, largely adding to the usefulness of the book. It is Intimated, and truly, that although all iOnTellatil;;tlisappeared, the present volume is conspicuous proof that there has boon no relaxation in the multifarious labours to per feet the extraordinary work. In speaking 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 linportant improve. ments and additions are annually made without any increase of price "—a result that, it is declared, " could not have been the ease, had the public patronage been divided." With reference to the price, we certainly must acknowledge that it is wonderful how it can be profitable to provide such varied materials —and materials constantly changing and requiring so much and such ceaseless labour and cost to procure, and then to classify. N othing but a tr emen d ous sale could make the specu l at i on answe r. Among the imp ortant alterations will be found those i ntro d uce d i n t o the ,..„,", l osiel" Directory. It i s , i n deed, singularly full, useful, and ete ; ,and must vouch increase the daily, it might be more tru l y pronounced its hourly value, particular l y t o the merchant, the , or the professional man.

' Sl 'at Saxony, Sweden and Norway. Wurtemburg, Fjc e. &c., those changes are detailed " precisely as they arranged tO come into op erat i on on the Ist of January, 1847. " The ot h er !flange% 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 commeneement of the vear for which it is designed. The s bu siness merits of th e work are of the highest order, and ren d er it, o It kind, we imagine, a p u bli cat i on unexam pl e d in the world for 1u t c ompleteness, fuMe ss , and usefulness. SUN, 18,184. The present is the forty-eighth Nov. annual ed ition of the " Post-office London D irectory," and a truly marvellous e ff or t o f c ompilation it the Th e " Post-of fice Directory" has been for some years under this wor k • management of Mr. Kelly. Until he became the manager o f there were di vers other Directories in the field. They now rulesbowever all alone. disappeared, and the " Poet-office Directory" -as astonishing success, however, has not hail the effect of He is ----ng h e proprietor of this gigantic work careless. too thorough a man of business not to be perfectly aware that the fruit s of his success can only be reaped by continuance nar.ng en ergy by which the success was in the first of the sam e u ' _ inst ance achieved, and accordingly we find that the " Post-otlice D irectory" for 1847, is even more highly finished in all its elaborate arrangements than any former edition of the book. The extent and minuteness of the details furnished, render the work indispensable to e very 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 nuance of clearness of arrangement in a s ork consisting of upwards Of two thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pages. This Directory is certainly the most complete work of the sort ever 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 enermoue.outlay of time and o capital that must have been made In order to 'acquire and digest the I nformation, the very reasonable price at which the work is published lr r eally Wonderful. , Nov . 21, 1816. Xelly's invalu a bl e work, GLOBE the " Post-office Directory," has just Made Its appearance for the ensuing year. The vast mass of infor- Motion which this book contains, makes it not only desirable but absolutely necessary as a part of the office furniture of every man of bua hlaml ; and scarcely less necessary, indeed, for every one else, Who requires to know anything concerning the trades, professions, and localities of the groat metropolis. In its present extended form, the book is an absolate curiosity ; the labour and expense which it bas cost to bring it to its present state of perfection must have been ru n'onsc. In turning over Its two thousand pages, one hardly knows which most to be struck with and admire—the excellent rra ngement and utility of such a compilation, or the magnitude of the •ItY which requires such a directory. The volume, moreover, oontains an excellent map of London and the suburbs, corrected down to the latest strides of " bricks and mortar." WEEKLY DISPATCH, Nov. 1 5 , 18 4 6. ThO forty - eighth annual publication of this highly.important and Zltd the work has just been issued ; and we must confess that its h PP e arance has surprised us not a little ; and when we reflect that price remains unaltered, although the expense of collecting the maferials must have increased, we are pleased at the liberality or Mr, Kelly, the proprietor. Ina commercial point of view, per - Ps, no book ever contained so much useful matter. Among other , infor mation, ther e i s an " Official Directory," a " street Directory, a" Commercial Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Dir , ec- Dta7reCtoary",and a " Banking ,! :' ' o a ur t Directot a " Parliamentary Directory, a "City " Conveyance Directory," Direc tor,"—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 descriptien of information has been corrected to the latest possible period, and that information is arranged with a clearness and simpthiiity which must have involved great activity of mind and exertion of body. - Sewed with the book is an excellently engraved Map of L on d on, more extended and accurate as to the suburbs than any map we have seen • and to make it as complete reference as possibl e , an almanac introduced . ln the "Postal Directory" there ar e th e new rates with various u parts of the Con tinent which will come into operation on the Ist of January e . pre ; and w Altogether this new issue surpasses any of its predecessors arc not surprised that other Directories should have gone to the limb of all the Capalets. - _ BRITANIcIA, Nov, 21, 1 ____ by their in compared with The French people have done themselves o a n i 46, r , in dustrial expositions. litut It must be acknowledged - t d at,though in genious and pretty, they appear quite nisi °lnflation of the industrial exposition presented to the mind i by this mighty volume. Keeping pace with the advancing trade an London, it still increases in bulk, and keeping pace with mentor society in a more im p ortant p articul ar , It vigilantly ve mo every opportunity of imp rovement to insure more perfect a ' cc s u ei ra ze and more complete clas sification. We find in this volum e many icy s t . atances of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively trifling, show the intelligence and care exercised over every depart ment. It may he 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 the proper management of business. Its authority is now so univer sally established, both at the l'ost-oMce 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 " a proef 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 necessary by the very recent demise of Mr. Stewart, m.r. 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 commendation. It contains every thing that can pos sibly be required hi a directory—so full, so complete, so compre hensive are all its details. And when to this we add the extreme accuracy which pervades every department, we know not what else can be said in its praise. The machinery by which such volu minous information is obtained, arranged, and superintended, so as to avoid errors, must of itself be among the " curiosities" of modern literature. ATLAS, Nov. 28, 181 G. A book of th's kind. brought out even without much pretension, Would be indispinsable to every g e ntl eman ' s lib rary, every merchant's ^ onntlng•house, and every trader's shop. But edited as this is, with 'tie 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 such a work, we cannot suppose that any house, public or private, which calatifford a baok of reference, will be without this compendious volume. The arrangement is admirable. You can find any name You want in a mmtent.

The affluent and benevolent arc earnestly solicited to aid the efforts now making by the Managing Committee of the ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's Inn-road, a charity established for the relief of the foreigner, the stranger, the friendless, and the outcast, when in sickness or disease, who are here received so far as the means of the Institution will permit. Neither patronage nor letters of recommendation are necessary ; were it otherwise, the wretched beings for whose benefit the Institu tion is intended would not know how or where to obtlin them, and while seeking for the means of admission would, in all probability, perish unhee.'• 1 and unknown; a melancholy instance of which kind gave rise to the founding of this charity. A large debt, which is now gradually being reduced, still encum bers the operations of the Committee, but confiding in the sprit and benevolence of an English public, in support of such a charity, they fearlessly continue their efforts to meet the urgent appeals daily made at their gates by the most miserable and wretched of the human race.

This Institute founded, and partly supported by subscriptions, and placed under the supervision of a Committee of Subscribers, offers to the industrious classes, IN ALL CASES, TIIE GRATUITOUS ADVICE of an able and experienced Surgeon, and, in some cases, Medicines also free of expense. The guarantees for uniform, human% and skilful treatment. which such an Institute affords, will, it is hoped, induce the afflicted humbler classes to seek its aid, and thereby avoid the waste of pecuniary means, and the risk to life they are sure to incur, by appyiug for surgical, or medical, relief to ignorant and unprincipled quaoks, and nostrum-vendors. Applicants for relief must apply at the Surgery adjoining the Surgeon's private residence, 2, Chandos-street, Cavendish-square. THE LIGHTS for FUTURE DAYS.

The STARLIGHT NIGHT LIGHT is a beautiful little light to illumine the bedchamber. All other night lights will be used no more; its economy and simplicity all will admire, for what can be desired more than perfection? To what conclusion clot we come?

PROVISIONS FOR IRELAND, PORTSMOUTH, DEB. 19.—As there are not any men of war, of small tonnage, at this port, which can be made available to take meal over to Ireland, the Admiralty have directed that vessels shall be hired for the purpose, and Mr. Davis, the master-attendant of the Clarence Victualling Yard, h as b. een endeavouring, at Portsmouth, or Southampton, to take up tonnage, of small craft, capable of stowing some thousands of bags of meal for conveyance to Ireland. One vessel is to proceed to Clitden, county Galivay, as soon as loaded, and another to Dublin, in charge of Government officers. The Dauntless is taking in stores, &c., for her crew, and goes toTobermory, in Scot land, directly she is filled with meal ; and a small vessel is also to be hired here, to be loaded with provisions to accom pany the Dauntless, and afterwards employed •in distributing them on the small islands in the Hebrides and OrkueTh will thedilutiouf the ccuakbicaer. The Terrible steam-frigate, Lieutenant Murray command ing, has a number of hands put upon her, to be made ready for service with all dispatch, and she will be completed in about three weeks. The Odin steam-frigate, Captain Williams, of tho Amphion, when she passed Woolwich yesterday afternoon from Dept ford for Greenhitbe and Ireland, had 367 tons of meal on board. Her ports and scuttles have been caulked, being near the water owing to the depth of immersion, although she had not any of her guns, shots, shells, or powder on board, and only a small supply of stores and provisions with twenty-eight tons of water on board for her crew. The Odin is a sister ship to the Sidon steam-frigate, and appears as much too deep in the water as the latter was light when she left Woolwich. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master-Commander Petley, left Woolwich this morning for Liverpool. Vessels in the Harbour—William and Mary yacht, Am phion steam-frigate, Black Eagle, Minx, Teazer, and Cyclops steam-vessels, and Woodlark surveying-vessel. In the Basins—The Gorgon, Dwarf, Kite, Niger, Charon, Ariel steam-vessels, and Terrible steam-frigate. In the Docks—The Vixen steam-vessel, and Mastiff sur veying- vessel. Ciiamiimi, Fan. 19.—The Antelope, one of the three steam-packets for the lonian Isles, arrived from Woolwich on Saturday, and is forthwith to be fitted for service. She is now lying alongside the sheer hulk. . The Arab,l6-gun brig, building, is nearly ready for launch. mg, and is ordered to be fitted for service at sea; therefore the principal fittings will be completed before she leaves the slip. The Rochester, Sedgwick master, sailed on the 18th with stores for Sheerness-yard. A new steam-packet for the Dover station, to be named the Vivid, is ordered to be constructed on the design of Mr. 0. W. Lang, master shipwright's assistant of this yard. It is understood that the Shannon steam-vessel is to be appropriated to the use of this port, instead of the Fearless at Sheerness, for a voyage to Gibraltar. Owing to the crowded state of the barracks at Chatham, and the unusually large number of recruits that are daily arriving from different parts of England, Ireland, and Scot land, it has been found necessary to remove 700 men to the artillery barracks at Brompton. The garrison contains 35 depots, the whole, with the exception of the 2d battalion of the 60th Rifles, form the provisional battalion, and contain ing nearly 4,000 men. This month 500 recruits have joined, and on Thursday a number of young men from the Dublin district arrived for the battalion. WRECKS on the RIVER THAMES. Since Wednesday last the weather has been universally boisterous. Strong gales blowing from the west by south west have kept the Thames in a state more resemb:ing an arm of the sea than a river, and the immense quantity of land water out has caused it to overflow its boundaries in all directions. The damage effected was, however, trifling compared with the disasters attendant upon the hurricane that took place Between four and five o'clock on Friday morning, it being then nearly high water. Barges were driven from their moorings, hundreds of sticks of timber drifted here and there, and the lashing of the waves threw down several embankments between Vauxhall and Putney bridges, and between Battersea and Putney no less than five sailing barges were sunk. In three cases the crews succeeded in reaching the shore in safety. In the fourth there was a very narrow escape of life ; and in the last case, the men having charge of the barge are believed to have been drowned, as nothing had been heard of them up to last evening. The two most serious occurrences were those of a sailing barge belonging to Mr. Mulcock, a lighter man and coal merchant, of Norwood, near Ilouslow, laden with coals, which went down off Cremorne-gardens, about fire o'clock ; the master swam ashore, and the ap prentice, who could not swim, held on by one of the barge oars, trusting to the surge washing him ashore. When nearly exhausted he was picked up by Forsdytb, an appren tice to Wingate, a waterman at Battersea. Both he and his master were taken aboard a barge, where in a short time they recovered. At about half-past four o'clock, a sailing barge, having on board 70 tons of coal, and belonging to Mr. Tharington, of Windsor, sunk in the chann&l off the Feathers, at Wandsworth. Several persons living at the water side were awakened by cries of " Help ! help !" but we could not learn that any one put off. The cries for assistance ceased in a few minutes, and when daylight broke, all that was seen at the spot from whence the cries were supposed to proceed was the upper portion of the mast of a barge sticking out of the water. One of the barge oars, as also a hitcher, were found floating off the shore, and the missing oar is sup posed to be the same one seen floating in a perpendicular position through Battersea-bridge about six o'clock. As it would be impossible for an oar to float in such a manner without a weight attached, it is but too probable that one of the unfortunate men belonging to the barge had clung to it and not released his hold. The hurricane has been almost as disastrous on land. In the nursery grounds around Clap ham, Balham-hill, and Battersea, immense mischief has been done .by the uprooting of shrubs, &c. And in Wimbledon, Ilictimosel, and Bushy-park, many trees have been blown down, and some hundreds lopped of their branches. Great damage has also been sustained by the rare and valuable col lect ion of plants in Kew Gardens. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, FEB. 20.—Wind S.W., light breeze and fine.

The following is posted at Lloyd's : " FIXED LIGHT OF CEARA, COAST OF BRAZIL. " Hydrographic-office, Jan. 27, 1847. " Notice has been received by her Majesty's Government, that on the first of the present month a fixed light was to be established at Ceara, on the northern coast of Brazil.

PALL OF AN ANCIENT HOUSE IN RATCLIFT.—On Thursday afternoon much alarm was created in the neigh bourhood of Brook-street, Ratcliff, by the falling of an old house, which, with four others adjoining, have been long in a very dilapidated condition. The inner wall of one of the crazy buildings, 75, Brook-street, inhabited by Irish la bourers and others, was heard to crack, and some of the bricks and rubbish fell into the yard. The women, among whom was one who had just given birth to an infant, hastily snatched up their children and rushed out of the house. They had scarcely reached the street when their dwelling fell, and some of them were nearly buried in the ruins. One of the inmates, a female, was missing after the clouds of dust had cleared away, and on search being made for her, she was discovered in the ruins in the back part of the house among the rubbisl). and was brought out and conveyed to the house of a neighbour. She sustained very little injury, and soon recovered.

On Wednesday Dr. l3achhoffner commenced his annual course of lectures on astronomy, giving in his introduction a most eloquent and comprehensive description of the matured views of our inddern astrunoiners. The clear and compre hensive style of the learned Professor, aided as he is by the gigantic apparatus of the institution, renders the course a must valuable and instructive one, not only to the rising generation, but to those of more mature growth. In the chemical department Dr. John Ryan has commenced a course of lectures on general chemistry, ever watching amid his brilliant experiments for some opportunity of showing how beautifully his favourite science explains the wonders of the creation and demonstrates the wisdom and goodness of the First Great Cause. We are astonished to find that the interest attached to the explosive cotton remains undiminished, and the Doctor is compelled by the pressure of applications to give a lecture on this engrossing subject three times a week. In speaking of the rapid action of the cotton during an explosion, the Professor showed a most remarkable experiment. He took a few grains of the cotton and screwed it up in a soft piece of paper ; after making a few holes in the paper with a common pin, he placed the paper in the barrel of a pistol, the cotton towards the breach ; he then fired it off, and although the cotton ex ploded with force enough to expel a bullet, yet the paper remained untorn and uninjured. At first sight the result seemed the effect of some sleight of hand, but the Doctor referred it to the rapidity of action, the newly-formed gases escaping through the pin -holes, without tearing the paper in the least. We cannot overlook the musical department of this estab lishment. Dr. Wallis is most happy in the selection of his music and most effective in his expression of the great masters. In the arrangement of the airs for the present series of dissolving views (mostly original compositions by this gentleman) he deserves great praise, as it gives a most, pleasing accompaniment to the pictorial illustrations. IRELAND. THE GOVERMENT RELIEF MEASURES. DUBLIN, Fan. 18.—The Reproductive Empleyment Com mittee assembled yesterday at their rooms in College-green, to consider the Goverment measures for relief under the Bill now before Parliament. Mr. Bolton Massey presided. Very strong objections were made to the construction of the new commission, on the ground that five out of seven were Eng lish officials, already occupied with their own official busi ness, and all of them u nsu it e d f or suc h a d uty. A memor i a l to the Lord-Lieutenant was adopted, praying that unpaid members, selected from the Irish resident gentry, should be added to the commission. This day the following gentlemen, comprising the deputa tion from the committee, waited upon the Lord-Lieutenant with the memorial :—Mr. St. George, High Sheriff of Gal way; Mr. Cole Bowen, High Sheriff of Queen's County; Sit W. Cox, Sir T. Staples, Colonel Dunne; Messrs. Stanley, Monk, Vernon ' Bolton Massey, Pierse Mahony, and hem mis. After the memorial had been read, _ His EXCELLINCY stated that the appointments of the Commissioners had been made in England, and those selectsd were heads of departments, considered to be the most com petent for the duties. His Excellency observed that he had caused to be prepared a circular to the Irish country gentle men, containing queries to which he requested answers, by way of advice and suggestion as to the reconstruction of the relief committees, which was a matter of vital importance in the administration of the new system of relief. Mr. liourox AlAssEv, as chairman of the committee, took the opportunity of assuring his Excellency that their sole desire was to support the Government on this occasion with their zealous co-operation ; but lest they might afterwards be taunted with an acquiescence in those appointments, they deemed it necessary thus respectfully to protest against them. The deputation soon after withdrew. THE FAMINE. The provincial journals and private communications that have reached us to-day contain the most heartrending ac counts of the ravages of famine and fever in King's County, Tipperary, Cork, Kerry, Mayo, Sligo, Waterford, and other counties. The unfortunate peasantry are dying of starva tion by hundreds. Some of the details are really horrible. The most eager applications are made, in various quarters, liar coffins, to inter the victims of famine. Mr. Jocye, of Clifden, county of Galway, in a letter to the bulnin Ecening Post, describes the death of a mother and child at tbat place, who had been lying in lever. The straw on which they lay caught fire, and both were burned to cinders. The fever Lospistals are crowded, and the deaths are increasin to a fearful extent. EVICTION OF TENANTRY. It is really lamentable to think that the system of eviction should be in operation at such a time, when famine is deci mating the population. We take the following from the Limerick Chronicle of yes terday :—" On Tuesday, William Smith, Esq., sub-sheriff, with Captain Granville and detachments of the 55th and Bth Hussars, from this garrison, and a strong party of police, under head-constable O'Malley, proceeded to Ballinacariga to take possession of land from James Ilanly and six others, for non-payment of rent. This property belonged to the Rev. Charles Dawson, who was murdered on those lands in the year 1835. There were great crowds assembled, but no breach of the peace was attempted." There are further accounts of ejectment proceedings in Mayo. It appears that some of those turned out have emi grated, and the land they held is lying waste. None of the neighbouring farmers will take the land. The .2Vayo Telegraph states that some of the landlords in that county are proceeding to enforce the last November rent, even " before a spade or plough has been put in re quisition by the husbandmen." That journal states that the November rent has actually been paid in some instances, whilst money is sought from the benevolent English people " for the sustenance of those starving tenantry, now called upon to pay the November rent." OUT-DOOR RELIEF. The Cork Examiner states that the Rev. Dr. Collins and the Rev. Justin INPCarthy have left that city for London, as a deputation from the Roman Catholic clergy of Cloyne and Ross, in order to watch the progress of the Irish Poor- law Bill, and to secure the enactment of a system of out door relief, which might be " interfered with or cushioned by the manoeuvres or intrigues of an Irish party or Irish landlords." GALWAY ELECTION.—RETURN OF TIIE SOLICI- TOR-GENERAL. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Monahan, is now Member for the town of Galway. The following appears in the Dublin Evening Post of this afternoon ! " GALWAY, WEDNESDAY.—The followinglis the third day's poll, as officially declared last evening : Monahan... 23 O'Flaherty GROSS POLL. Monahan 508 O'Flaherty ....... Majority for the Solicitor-General —7 " The booths were all closed, and the successful candidate will be declared to-morrow, the 17th, as soon as some dis puted votes shall be decided upon by the assessor. "Possibly the majority of 7 may be lessened; but I have no doubt . the Solicitor-General will be the man for Galway,' and a better man, or a more useful representative, the good old town could not have chosen. " WEDNESDAY, HALF. PAST ONE.—The arguments on the disputed votes are in progress, and will not be closed until long after the departure of the mail."

The body was given in charge of the police. Information was imme diately forwarded to William Carter, Esq.,- the coroner. FATAL ACCIDENT AT WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE. - - - . An inquest was held on Friday by Mr. Payne, at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the body of Michael Hayes, aged 05, a carpenter, of No. 1, Mason-street, Cornwall-road, Lambeth.
