This affords a complete refutation of the accusations so industriously dinned into , the ears of the House of Commons coneeniing the emp oyment of, letter-carriers in obtaining information. Letter - carrters• have' not . been employed in obtaining information ter the post-office London . 'Directory" of 1848, but Selected agents, having their entire time at' their own disposal, have been employed to collect the immense Mass 01 information, which has afterward* been arrn4ed and classified in. . a manner so beautifully simple that any portion of it can be referred to at once, and without difficulty; and when we r 'inember that this work consists of 2,091 closely-printed imperial ootavo pages of names, We must admit that great credit is due to the coat pfler, who, by his . admirable plan of arrangement and this copious indexes, has enabled • to pick out any one name and -address from the Vast mass in ,a space of time certainly not exceeding'one minute. ;The aggregate of local and specific.linformatlon contained in this volume of the " Post office London Directory" is quite 'unequalled. s It is indeed thiliand book to the commerce of the,ltrst commercial city of the world. TIMES, NOVEMBAA 24, 1847. • • The volume of this' indispensable +fork for the yedr 1848, being the 49th of the sezies, has just been published by, Messrs.)

To say aught in praise of the merits of this hand-book to the t commerce of the greatest commercial city in the world, would be now superfluous ; it is the unlversally_recognised cyclopsedia of facts to which all men of business•turn is their. perplexities, and from which they draw the information which they require. , The excellent order " in which the millions of facts and details collected are arrayed, so as to be found with the greatest facility, cannot be contemplated with out admiration ; and the general accuracy of the work, considering the multiplicity of the addresses, and the changeable nature of the subject-matter, is perfectly marvellous. The increase In the size of the present edition is very apparent, and is particularly observable in the " Street Directory," in which, at its original compile ion In 1841, the nobility and gentry, merchants and traders, appeared• for the first time in any street list. In all the classifications a propor tionate increase is perceptible, and the "Court Directory" for 1848 is most complete. The whole information is brought down to the latest possible period. •The most recent Parliamentary changes are included, and the Government offices and officers are brought down to the present month. Ws dismiss this monster volume of metropo titan and national information by declaring that it is well worthy the monster city of London. MORNING ADVERTISER, NOVEMBEA 22 1847 Once more, after thi. usual annual interval, the " Post-office Di rectory " 11,5 made its appearance. It has alwiti s beer a remark able ins: ance of the successful result of unwearied la` our ; but this year it Is still more s rikingly characterised by the comsleteness and 'the judicious arrangement of its numerous features of tit.lity, as an ad.. • Mixable work of reference. Au actively conducted, paint king. and elaborate revision of such a publication, must necessari y tend to render such annual issue more satisfaCtory • and correct than its predecessors. This year, however, the " Directory" is peculiarly deserving of eulogy and recommendation, on many accounts. It seems:from numerous' experimental references to its 'pages, to be accurate in the minute and curiously extended information it gives on the localities and inhabitants of the metropolis, and its inimedlate e suburbs. The proprietors appear to have taken every means of se , • 'curling increased correctness in all the departments of this ponderous volume : and it is due to them to bear decided testimony as. to the effective and successful results of such exertions. With regard to . the 6. modus operandi" hi - obtainhig the requisite information and constantly required correction of this w ork. it may be remembered that various statements were made in Parliament some time since, touching the employment of letter-carriers, Fcc., in the collection of that information. We have reason, however, now to believe that different means have been etoployed in the preparation of the volume for 1844. That bulky volume has, we understand, been prepared from materials entirely collected by persons unconnected !With the Post-office. This certainly appears to be a practical answer ' to allegations which have been made on the subject ; and the re •sult is all the more striking and satisfaCtory, is the " Directory" for 1848 is !by far the most comprehensive yet produced. The alterations which have been made to ensure the accuracy of • its contents have, it appears, been more numerous than in any former year, and the book altogether presents a higher degree of ' -.elaborate finish, admirable arrangement, and valttable completeness in its classification and general construction than It had previously . • attained. It was perfectly needless to enforce the recommendation of the " Post-office Directory" by any remarks upon the utility, nay, t, almost absolute necessity, of its presence in mercantile and prefes atonal Offices. Indeed, wherever business of any kind is pi•oceeding It must be more or less desirable. .We shall deem it a most-rentable : s cutaletuion upon our table. • • ' MORNINti HERALD, NOVEMBEY 25, 1847. • This leviathan volume has again made its appearance, and is ' again a monument of vast and' comprehensive industry.. Every year ..,adds something to its bulk awl extends its usefulness ; and the lin , • 'Provements which have been Introduced' since the'last edition seem ~ n ow to give all the characteristics or• perfection. As a compendiou4 ' directory of local and official intelligence it has no competitor, nor • I le it likely to have ; , for such au aggregate of Intelligence —so Various in its kinds, so •• multitudinously specific-corild only be • brought to its present state pt completeness. with the growth of Years. We cm now now but reiterate the admiration which we are Periodically called upon to express, and con'gratir:ate' Mr. Kelly 4 Pon the aspect of his forty-ninth • publication. There does not decal to be a single want likely to be experienced , by the mercantile . Vtunsimity which is lett unsupplied ; land no one can turn over the : -2 . 6 00 pages of this ponderous work without sensations ef astonish- . inept, not only at the multiplicity of facts .which it .contains, bpi at the comprehensiveness of the machinery which could bring them , into so conveuient a locus. This is the book of all otheis to illus trate the real greatneini of the anetropolls. Where else -is' sueh.a • stupendous assemblage of merchants, traders, ,and, gentry, ,of public offices and public institutions, of churches, palaces, and asylums, to . be met with ? What an overwhelming - proof, in 'short, is it of the' extent, magnificence, and social and: commercial importruice of the • . British capital •. _ _ A glance at the contents of the new volume ut once satisfies all :Alaubss as to the multifarious utal ty of the work. —There are several „grand tipristotts„ or. special. turegtorleetv- m ffr "and officers, of the streets ,' of eoni . inerel i ttl ‘n and Y prot t es t professional 7 , 0 f trades and tradesmen, of the courts of law of the nobility aud ..gentry; of the Houses of Parllament.ot root deliveries. and rates pl. charge all over the world, of the civic functionaries, o: conveyances, 'of bankers, &c. Under each of these heads an immense body' of intell gence is to be found ; and we repeat our belief that there is no species of information whatever to wki h the public in the course 'of daily business may desire to have access, that 'is not here at 'hand. The 'lucidity of the arrangement admits of the •readieet ,reference ; while a copious table of contents indicates those suit ordinate branches of classification which might otherwise elude the 'search. That the work is a miracle of correctness the publ c his lad. ample proof in the previous volumes, and we have, therefore, every faith in the protestations of Mr. Kelly that the " ' Post-office 'Directory' for 1848 will fully tnainta'n its reputation," besides ei lebiting "increased exertkn and improvement." In the Pre ace the Editor calls particular attention to the postal section, in which Ire introduced " all the emendations rendered necessary by new treaties with foreign powers, and the recent packet alterations." MORNING CHRONICLE, NOVEMBER 29,•1847. The 49th annual publication of this . valuable work has just been hinted, with improvements oh the volumes of preceding years, in the . shape of enlargement and• better arrangement. That accuracy in • Anch a book of reference is absolute'y necessary to one engaged in only business or profession in the metropolis, must be obvious. No qalm -or cost seem to have been spared in ensuring the utmost car ' rectness as to the millions of facts and, details stated in this work, and the greatest attentioa has been paid to rendering the arrange- . meat of such a vast mass of general information so clear, and. to place it in such lucid order, that any information coating within the scope of such a book cats be obtained with the • greatest facility. We are assured that in one part alone, namely. the ." Street Directory," there are not less than 47 imperial octavo Pages more than in any former edition, and a corresponding amount of additional matter is introduced into all the other arrange, tents and classiftcations without any additional charge. In the Present. year, also, a most . important change has been .intro duced into the mode of 'obtaining necessary information, to ensure accafacy in the completion of the work. Hitherto, the pro ' Meters of this work had been acting in direct connexion with • ;he authorities of the Post-office, and the letter-carriers were employed to make returns respecting their several walks, for which, wt . course, they were paid by the proprietors of this publication. Within the last few years some dissatisfaction has been manifested by certain of the letter-carriers so employed, and the subject has More than once been brought under the notice of the House of Commons. In consequence of this the proprietors determined to take steps to extricate themselves from the situation in which they Were placed; and, . herefore, since 1844 exertions have been made ' totform a staff of experienced men to obtain the requisite informa tion. Last year. on a careful comparison of the. work performed In the " Directory " by those persons. with that done by the letter-c.arriers, it was found that the 'former was decidedly inPerior in accuracy. It was, teerefore, determined to take steps • at once to terminate the connexion which had previously existed between the " Directory" and the Post-office. The present volume bets been complied from information obtained from persons not con neetedwith the cost-office; and, as far as we have been able to test iti it is fully equal, if.not superior, to any of its predecessors in ac curacy. We need hardly say more in commendation of a book which is indispensably necessary to a resident in the metropolis. GLOBE, NovEmBER 26, 1847. • In consequence of the complaints made in Parliament last session Of the employment of the post-letter deliverers in procuring materials . for the well-digested information contained in this " Monster" annual, the proprietors have been obliged to apply their own re sources to its production —a fact which appears rather to have improved the volume than otherwise. It is unnecessary to say n'Orer. perhaps, than this; but from its annually increasing balk it is 'evident the .Irectory keeps pace with the increase of the metro- Pais. The series of its maps of London will, by e-an d-b ebe the top og raphical history, in themselves, of this v as t city, congregated now to nearly the,number o f two millions w here o f souls. we a As r far as we have had'oceasion to consult the volume, we have found it s accuracy unquestionable. It is an indispeusable adjunct to every mercantile establishment in London. ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, NOVEMBER 27, 1847. This is the forty-ninth annual volume of the " Directory ;" and to say that it maintains the reputation of its predecessors is but trite praise, and scarcely its fall teed; for the present volume ex ceeds its forerunners by nearly 150 pages, and a like assurance of completeness. It presents, perhaps, an unequalled mass of local and specific information, in some 2,0 JO pages ; and is, certainly, too big for a hand-book, which the Editor, modestly, terms it. The labour of the arrangement and classification of the materials, for such easy reference as is here insured, must have been excessive, And unsparing Industry and experience were indispensable to such completeness. The changes and improvements are numerous and evident. We must especially mention that the work is worthy of the patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General by its general completeness, but specially by the fulness of that division of the Work which bears out its title, and is more immediately under the have of its proprietor— th e " Postal Directory," into which L i tre been introduced all the emendations rendered necessary by "ew treaties with foreign power*. and by the recent packet alter ations, ice. The success of this work, hard-eirned as it has been by years of up a few detractors—some Jones or and nightly toil,.ha.s called i L hlitla, whose name may have. unfortunately, been omitted from its It were unreasonable to expect a volume of this bulk free such specks of imperfection as these which grievance-mongers `eloics in pointing out; whilst, on the other hand, they grudgingly 411 OW the vast amount of labour requisite to produce the entire work. ~., Zith a distinct recollection of the Director i es of th e last t hi r t y y ears, Lob are confident that In no work ofits class has so much time, pains, .'e u l Money been expended to complete a most useful desi g n, as in " Post-office London Directory" for 1848.

We have before us a copy of this extraordinary volume, which from its comprehensive character. and the almost unlimited amount of the information it contains, is unparalleled. There is scarcely a Place or person To which direction is desirable, that may not here be found, and so admirably and so perfectly arranged as to render reference almost instantaneous. East and west, north and south, are all embraced.. No pains.have beets spared to render it complete, and when the labour is considered, it is only wonderful that so much has been accomplished with so much accuracy. It supersedes nil other Workh of the same 'description, and in fact, leaves nothing to desire. High or low, all classes are alike consulted, sad as an index to everybody and' everything it is invaluable. An excellent -map of.Londort is appended, and when we state that this is the forty-ninth annual publication, some guarantee is afforded of the advantage derived from experience, ATLAS, Novzsmiit 27, 1847. We need not apprise our readers of the great merits of this book; but it may be proper to'observe, that the present volume exhibits -increased care in those departments et reference wherever an exten sion of the field of information rendered additional matter neces sary. The " Street Directory," following the advance of industry, wealth, and population, has been considerably enlarged; and the trade lists and personal directories afford ample evidence, in their accuracy and completeness, of the extraordinary attention that has been bestowed upon their compilation. As a picture of the resources of London,. looked at through the media of commerce, law, handi craft, finance, and fashion, the volume is altogether one of the most remarkable productions of our time. It .is not only valuable but cuildni,*the most suggestive, as well as the most practical of all books ;—a book upon which it would be impossible to put any price that should bear a reasonable relation to its interest and its importance. Its utility embraces all classes ; it contains informa tion which. concerns everybody, either specially or • generally and it is equally Indispensable to the library, counting-house, shop, and office. • EIERAPATH'S. RAILWAY JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 27, 1847. • In the true spirit of English enterprise, not daunted by. threatened encroachments of the Crown, nor damped by a system of underhand opposition, the.proprietors of. this work (the Messrs. Kelly) have, in the edition just, issued, effected improvements on that in use for 1847. They have perfected some parts and enlarged others. Al together, the new edition is somewhat more bulky, and, apparently, more expensively got up than its predecessor; but the price is the same. They have now been thrown upon their own resources, and the result is, that a more valuable work has been produced—in mass of inforination and accuracy. So much for the outcry about the as siltrance by the officials of the Post-office, the want of which has only served to make additions - to the work. Kelly and.

Your Mama and myself, to encourage your merit, Have purchased you that which you'll proudly inherit We have bought you a desk, and a scrapbook, and all, And a rocking-horse, too, and a bat, trap, and ball ; And we also present you, for what you have done, A handsome new suit from E. MOSES and SON. This suit is designed on the very best plan, And I'm sure you'll appear quite a smart little man. You can scarcely imagine what taste is displayed, In the juvenile garments which MOSES' have made ; For what with the cloth, and the cut, and the braid, I consider they honour the tailoring trade. The strictest attention to fashion is paid, And rivalry, truly, is cast in the shade. I certainly think every rank, every grade, Should countenance MOSES and SON with their aid, In the purchase of dress, which if rightly surveyed, Is exactly the style tor a smart little blade.

Diffidence, er a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and* worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great' hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice deraaad that health should form an item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises coriCern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little NTEMOIItS On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by r o ost, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively -e2ned, ar prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy miainterpretatior. of .their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but tor the closet perusal of those more deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore. two other little publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and l.void," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would Inculcate-0 do unto others as he would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always on the " sunny side or the way."

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin— burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, lionorary Membe r of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage' requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in ord.lr that ft may be - really the cause of mutual happiness. Could tk ie veil. which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raiseA t, and it's true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abased, the prolifle source of mischief; and of greater or lees injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on .he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the llama* frame, than any other to which it it subject. This work emitting an accurate and complete account of the Anatol») , and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention-aid study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservadion of the health, and ° physical capabilities of whi c h every man should b e post the possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence.and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from - their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a sear of ap plying to a quantal physician for relief. Shame and the dread se frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that *accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of disease; sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, is.va stably characterise the intelNent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he it entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

He was understood to say that he would not have been a candidate if Mr. Wilkinson would have retired and allowed Mr. Hawes to have been returned, but as he would not do so, at the re quest of the influential Liberal electors he had al lowed himself to be put in nomination. He pledged himself to support the present navigation laws and an alteration in the Bank Restriction Act, and con cluded by alluding to local affairs, on which a pre judice has been attempted to be got up against him. Mr. WILKINSON then presented himself, and was received by the crowd with enthusiastic greetings. He said he was there on the invitation of the ma jority of the Liberal electors, and was entitled to the support of the whole Liberal interest, which, but for personal motives, he would have had. He ridiculed the idea of Mr. Hawes becoming a candidate on prin ciples that would have permitted him to vote against the repeal of the navigation laws, and for a change in the Bank Act, and regarded all that had been said by his opponent on these questions as clap-trap. A show of hands was then taken by the returning officer, and was very decidedly in favour of Mr. Wil kinson. On behalf of Sir H. Williamson, a poll was demanded, which will open at eight o'clock in the morning. The court was then adjourned. SUNDERLAND, TUESDAY.—The polling commenced at eight o'clock ; at nine o'clock Sir H. Williamson headed his opponent by 25 votes, and continued to increase his lead until the close of the poll, when the numbers were, for— Sir H. Williamson . 725 Mr. W. A. Wilkinson . Majority for Sir H. Williamson... 130 At the general election in August last, Mr. Wil kinson polled 569 votes only. ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL. ~ 595 The half-yearly distribution of prizes took place in the chapel of this institution yesterday, at half. past twelve o'clock ; Rear-Admiral Bowles, C. 8., M.P., President, in the chair. Amongst the company present we observed Vice-Admiral Sir C. Malcolm, Vice• President ; Captains Whiol, Burton, Bl a i r; T. 0. Knox, T. D. Stewart, Colonel Robinson ; Lieute nants Lean, Inglis, Sanders, Noble, Lane ; J. D. Rolt, Esq., &c. In opening the proceedings, the PRESIDENT, after congratulating the pupils upon the highly satisfactory report of the head master, read the following letter from the medical attendant of the school, which at this unhealthy season is rather a remarkable docu ment:—" I could not allow the present opportunity to pass without congratulating the council upon the extraordinary good health which has prevailed in the establishment during the most frightful epidemic which has been so general in the neighbourhood, and which has been almost universal in London and its environs. This almost perfect immunity must be j attributed to the elevated position of the building, to the careful and perfect attention which has been paid to that most important sanitary measure, the drainage, to which the council have devoted their efforts so effectually, and also to the liberal scale of dietary, which I have observed to have been of a very superior description. It is a most remarkable fact, ihat not one case scarcely deserving the name of in fluenza has made its appearance in the school ; and I cannot but advert to tne admirable management and care . which have been constantly evinced by the matron in her im mediate and kind attention to the slightest case of indisposition which may have oc curred. In conclusion, I must offer my thanks to the head master for his co-operation with me in allowing the pupils to take additional exercise at •my recom mendation, in order that no means should be neglected to promote and secure their healths.—(Signed) N. SIMMONS, M.R.C.S." The SECRETARY (Mr. A. Ea:nes) having read the report of the Reverend T. Chambers, the head mas ter, prizes were distributed to a great number of students for proficiency in various branches of edu cation. Admiral BOWLES having, in conclusion, exhorted the pupils to be diligent in their studies, and mindful of their religious duties, during the next term, the company separated, after several hearty rounds of cheering from the pupils, whose appearance and de portment were much commended. Some beautiful drawings, executed by the pupils, were exhibited on a screen. SIIIPPING.—it is shown in a rarliatnentary paper, just printed, that the light duties paid in 1845 were contributed by 163,174 vessels in the coasting trade, giving an average tonnage of 15,566,461; and by 45,612 vessels in oversea trade, giving an average ton nage of 9,300,983. In 1846 the light duties were con tributed by 163,166 vessels in the coasting trade, giving an average tonnage of 15,926,634; and by 50,234 ves sels in the oversea trade, giving an aggregate tonnage of 9,577,478. A contrast of those statements show an increase in the coasting trade of 1846, in tonnage, of 360,173, with eight fewer vessels; and in the oversea trade an increase of 4,712 vessels, with a tonnage of 276,493. is A 1 13 peroNny MARKET.—The—The premium on go ld a t P ar i s which, at the English Mint price of 31.175. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25.47 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.67 i, it follows that gold is 0.80 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4361 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3L 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.104 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.12, it follows that gold is 0.51 per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1101 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.68 per cent. in favour of England. But, the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the in terest must be added to the above difference. TIDE STOCKPORT ELECTION.—An inquest was held on Saturday at Stockport, on the body of James Bown, a blacksmith, who was killed at the last election. It seems that after the nomination on Wednesday, each party retired to their respective houses, to take the re eqlueiestiitoen m , t e h a e s u L r i c h s e f r o a r l securing n fr t e h r e e d N g ' i r c e t a o t r l y y . by A t t h e t h , h la n s t- t tling" system, and they somewhathadagaainwthiteh rebiutt,enirr.ecoßlloetch tion of its effects. They were, therefore, re so l ve d not to permitparties it o n to ti b n e a et carried to street during the nib ck in the morn i ng nearly 200 i hc About (e ie o d, o'clock perambulatelo on men started from Marsland's committee-room, in Bridge street, and marched three abreast up Heaton lane, the Wellington-road, and A'ellitigton-street, in which the Ly ceum i s situated, and commenced an attack upon the doors and windows of that in stitution, which were soon demolish e d. A large num bhnerthoef spot, Mr. and dhain Kershaw's er friends being at the moment theg weapons crash a below, e t l h o ey w, e o rushed dosn stairs, arm e d w i t h such procure, and sallied forth upon their assailants. A general row, of course, ensued; but the Kershaw party proving the strongest, they soon drove their opponents out of the street, and the Marsland party having a committee-room (an empty shop) nearly opposite to the Lyceum, by way of retaliation, broke those windows also. It appears that about this time the deceased, James Bown, a black smith, was coming past, and on the Kershaw party calling for the party word, which was "X," to be answered. if of the same party, by "Y," the deceased cried " Blue," which was the Marsland word, when some of the party attacked him, knocked him down, and in a few minuses after he was dead. He was about 57 years of age, and was a blacksmith, but out of work. A number of witnesses were called during the sitting of the inquest, to prove how deceased came by his death and the inquest was finally adjourned till Wednesday. Bricklayers are no longer animated by the right spirit ; pride in their work they have none ; anxiety to excel exists no longer Exceptions, of course, there are; hut the brickwork to be found in the neighbourhood of London, east, west, north, and south, is truly disgraceful: unworkmanlike, unsubstantial, deceptive, dangerous.
