The ibrty-eighth annual publication of this highly-important and i nful work has )ust been issued ; and we must confess that its bulky appearance has surprised us not a little ; and when we reflect that th e prise remains unabered, although the expense of collecting the m eferth i e mge t have Increased. we are pleased at the liberality ‘ tirlirlr, Kelly, the proprietor. in a commercial point of view, per- Caps, ao book ever contained so much useful matter. Among other Information, there is ass " Official Directory," a " Street Directory," a!' Commercial Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Law Direc tory," a" Court Directory," a" Parliamentary Directory," a "City Directory," a " Conveyance I iirectory," and a " Banking Direct tory,"—in fact, the volume contains much that is interesting and valuable to the tradesman, the merchant, the lawyer, and pers ns in ordinary life, as well as to the gentleman who occasionally dabbles in trade. Every descrip'ion of information has been corrected to the latest possible period, and that information is arranged with a c learness and simplicity which must have involved great activity of blind and exertion of body. Sewed with the book is an excellently engraved Map of London, mere extended and accurate as to the ".barbs than any map we have seen ; and to make it as complete a t f erence as possible, an almanac is introduced. In the " Postal di rectory" there are the new rates with various parts •f the Con `"ent which will come into operation on the Ist of January.

ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 28, 1846, ' Thjs huge volume, the ,forty-eighth edition of the work, well sas taiits the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" of late years. In the preface the proprietor maintains that the high, character of the work is n referable to its mem connexion with the Post-office ; for an important chanze has been gradually introduced into the man lier of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the work than h.iretofore 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 184 G. Nor hog the proprietor • rested comtiatt with his past success, but has introduced many impor tant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its bulk with out a:y increase of price. Ihe Postal Directory' is especially im , proved, and there are n'. nerotts changes throuV.oot the volume, to insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to , be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the moat pains taking minateness. 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 Tontine. RAIL a'AY 11Elt s LD, Nov. 21, 1846. The new volume et' the Post-oeice Directory fbr 1847 is already in our hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work se laborious, extensive, and minute, could be in any degree improved. It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. The pro duction et 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 he subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense if it were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our readers will base an opportunity of judging for themselves on pur chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is is any degree exaggerated. lIERAPATEPS RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846. The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and improvements neon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge uncut in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which thia important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to say, national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation. We know net whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will be made in the ensuing session as was done in the last, to wrest it from the hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the force of might over right in the possession of Government. But should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its con ductors will go home to the consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw 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 pilationot the work) are duly appreciated. is now happily beyond all question; prior to the ' Directory' passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended sitc.:eitsfally iYi" , n this.

A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls, a gentleman residing at Northam, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842, on returning from It arlestone Market to Weybred, where he then re- sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an nes* of several months' duration, during - width period his hair WU . - ..Wiled to come off, till be became; to use MA own terns, " at pettedly bald as if his head had b&n shared ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel, then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for his lost hair. Under these circumstances, he was induced to try the effect of ROWLAND'S MACA.SSA it OIL, and it is highly gratifying to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was used the groWth recommenced, and he has now to hoist of a very thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity, that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl, the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly for itself to require observation. —Bell's Messenger.

The members of this excellent association, which pays particular respect to the aged and the decayed of their Lmber, assembled last night in the Freemasons' Tavern, and sat down, together with their friends, to dinner; Sir Benjamin Hall in the chair. Every arrangement fur the delight or convenience of the guests seemed to be appreciated to their full extent by all present. After dinner the A'on nobis was sung. and the usual toasts in honour of her Majesty, the Prince, and the Royal Family, and the Army and Navy, were given with all the honours. The Chairman then rose to propose the toast of the evening. It was 't Success to the Association of the Eating-house and Coffee:lionze Association." The Chairman, in introducing the toast, referred to the com paratively late increase of the class out of whoin rose the members of the society, who had been in the ratio of 2,000 to 10 during-the years since when it first appeared in society. The Hon. Baronet in the course of his speech pronounced a high eulogium on the efforts of the coffee house keepers to advance the intellectual character of the people. Mr. C. LUSHINGTON, who sat on the right of the Chairman, proposed the Chairman's health, and paid him a high compliment. M. COCHRANE, who sat on the left of' the chair, gave the " Press," and spoke at length upon the reciproca advantages, which the press and the people equally received. Mr. HUMPHREYS then read a report of the finances of the Society for the year, in which Sir B. Hall ap peared for 101 10s. ; Juhn Masterton, 51. ss. ; Mr. Con)feers, 5/. ss. ; and a nunit)er of others equally worthy of notice. After the other usual toasts, the assembly broke up, entirely satisfied with the entertainments of the evening. Sorry always to find ourselves lonely, we were sorry es pecially to find that we were obliged to disapprove of the arrangement, which prevented us by the distance at which we were compelled to occupy our place, from hearing either the Chairman or any of his worthy com peers round him. It was with a far different wish no went to join the celebration of the anniversary of a noble institution, but if the friends of the Secretary ex luded him and the press from the neighbourhood of the Chairman, they entailed an evil on the public and the institution which they were met to support. Only one fact more we stay to mention in j ustice both 'to the chairman and to the guests. Sir Benjamin Hall having consented to do himself and the company the honour to take the chair at the anniversary dinner of this Association, agreed to preside over the assembly at five P.M. On the afternoon of the assembly, when the guests were already met at five o'clock, the hour of dinner, a letter was received from this indefatigable statesman, informing the guests present that he could not preside till half an hour past six o'clock. But this hour was again ushered in by_a note, intimating that the Hon. Baronet would le present in ten minutes thereafter. We are glad to be able to say that the Hon. Baronet did come; the guests, moreover, waited his arrival, and sat down somewhat on the yonder side of seven, instead of five, o'clock, to what could scarcely be other than a cold collation. PHYSICAL VERSUS MonAL.—Whether the Physi cal wants should be remedied through the Moral, or the Moral through the Physical, has been a question which has occupied the attention of philosophers and philanthropists for centuries. Without attempting to decide the question, there can be no doubt that when the Physical condition is impaired it demands the first attention. For instance; a person whilst suffering from an acute attack of Gout would be unable to appreciste the sublimest lessons of philoSophy, even though enunciated by the divine Plato. How much more welcome to the sufferer would be a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, so efficacious in eradicating this distressing malady. [A D VERTISEMENT.] —BRUSHES, NEW INVENTION-- THE TRIPLE HAIR BRUSH. —One stroke of this is equal to the effect of one penetrating, five small-toothed combs, and one even cut brush. The Double Anti-Pressure Nail Brush, which does not divide the quick from the nail, no pressure being required, and thoroughly cleans and polishes the nails in a tenth part of the time of any other method.

This calktseuiccDaEme V . e T f u or E e p t u h KE e C O o F ur ß t ß u t; po S ll Wl a r s il p . ecial de murrerTbe actionto th was replication.e brought by the Char lotte Muncie!), against his Serenpela/iPigtiliffhesMsr,sCharles Frederick Aug ustus William D u k e of Brunswick and Luneburg, to recover payment of an annuity of 2001., which the defendant h a d secured to her by deed on cer tain conditions ; amongst others. that the plaintiff should be content therewith, and acknowledg e a to be in di: charge of all claims which she might have on The de fendant ; that she should not write to the defendant concerning past transactions between the parties, And on several other conditions, the breach of which was te.. , ren der-the deed void. The declaration fully set out the deed and alleged a breach. The defendant, in person, pleaded a. plea to the ja - risdiction of the Court, alleging, that at the time of the making of the said deed he was a Sovereign Prince —t o , wit, the reigning Duke of the Duchy of Brunswick and Luneburg ; and that the said deed was made by him in his dominions; and that from the time of making the said deed he had been, and still was, justly entitled to all the rights, prerogatives, and privileges apper taining to him as the Duke of Brunswick and Lune burg, &c., and prayed judgment if the Court here ought to take cognizance of this action. The replication alleged that the Court ought not to be barred from taking cognizance of the said action, because the contract was not made with the defendant in respect of any matter appertainir.g to the state and Govern ment, or policy of the said duchy of Brunswick and Luneburg, but that the said debt was a private debt owing from the defendant, in his private capacity, to the plaintiff; that after the making of the said deed, and be fore the accruing of the said debt, the defendant quitted the said dually, and was domiciled within the jurisdic tion of this Coart, not as a Sovereign Prince, but as a pri vatesubject of, and owing obedience to, her Majesty the Queen. To. this replication the defendant demurred, and several points for argument were raised by the de- • muster: Mr. Luau, in support of the demurrer, said the de fendant was a Sovereign Prince, and as sneh he was not liable to be sued in a court in this country for any act dune by him while a Sovereign Prince, and acting as a Swiesitign. The defendant was the Duke of Brunswick and Luneburg, and was no more liable to be sued in an English court than the graperer of Russia or the King of Prussia. T„be defendant -alleged that he was still entitled to all the rights, privileges, and preroga tives of the Duke of Brunswick; that part of the plea was not traversed by the replication— it was admitted. There was no averment that he had abandoned his country, there was nothing inconsistent with his averment that he was still a Sovereign Prince. The question then was, could a Sovereign Prince be sued in the courts of this his country? Ile contended that he could not. There were not many authorities on this subject, and the chief was the case of the "Duke of Brunswick v. the King of Hanover" (6 Bevans' R. p. 9), in which a bill in Chan cery had been filed to set aside an act of state done by the King of Hanover; and there was a general demurrer for want of equity, and it was held by Lord Langdale, the Master of the Rolls, that the Court had no power to relieve. Th e M aster o f t h e R o ll s, i n g i v i ng his judg ment, entered fully into the discussion of the question, and he decided that he could not interfere in such a case. The immunities of Sovereign Princes were grounded on the same reasons as the immunities granted to ambas sadors. He submitted that the ruling by the Master of the Rolls was correct, and should be followed in this case. It was admitted on the record that the act was done while the defendant was a Sovereign, and it ought to be presumed that it was done by him in his capacity of Sovereign. A Sovereign Prince domiciled in this country was prima facie not liable to be sued in the English courts. Mr. Justice PATTESON—Primii facie, a Sovereign Prince is not liable to be sued even in hie own dominions. Mr. LUSH—The plaintiff ought to show that he was so liable, for if he was not liable to be sued in his own country he could not be in this. It was for the plaintiff to show that the defendant had ceased to be a Sovereign Prince, and had become a subject of her Majesty. She had failed to do so. The Duke of Brunswick's stay in this country was only temporary, and be had not aban doned his rights as a Sovereign Prince. On these grounds he submitted that the demurrer would be sustained. Mr. BovILL, in support of the replication. The pleadings had been framed in accordance with the de cision of the Master of the Rolls, and he was surprised that his Learned Friend relied upon that decision for his defence. his Learned Friend did not deny that the defendant would be liable for what took place in this country. The Duke of Brunswick was now domiciled in this country, and was responsible for acts done in bis private capacity, when in his own country. In the case of the " Duke of Brunswick v. the King of Hanover," it was considered that the acts dae_were acts of state; but that was avoided in this case,..tv replying that the debt was a private debt, owing by the defers ls-• ,- his rrivate and p, rsonal capacity to the l itintiC no of the decision of the M a ster o f th e was, tale groan . .is tors were responsible for the acts of their Sovereigns. The decision in the case of the King of Ilanoter was, that if there was a contract not made by him in that charactt.r, but as a private individual, be was table to be sued here. lie relied upon that authority. The plea was one in abatement, and that no court in this country had auy, jursd:ction. lie contended that the plea w.z.s nlie.nceirecl; it should have been in bar, and not in abatement. A plea in abatement, which did not give a better writ, was bad. Mr. Justice WiGUTMAN- This is a plea to the juris diction, and it concludes us such. Mr. Bovit.r.—As the defendant relied on a personal privilege he must show that he was a Sovereign Prince. The plea alleged, that at the time of the making of the contract the defendant was a Sovereign Prince, but he did not allege that he was still a Sovereign Prince—he only alleged that he was entitled to all the rights, &c., without showing how he was entitled. The defendant did not aver, that by the law of Brunswick he was not liable on this deed, and if he was liable in Brunswick he was liable in England. _ - Mr. Lusn, i❑ "reply, said, that the plea was a plea to the jurisdiction. The reason why parties were liable here for contracts made abroad was because they were liable there, and their liability went with them wherever they went. It that, conteact could not be enforced in Bruns wick, neither could it be sufoieed in England. If it had been an ordinary person who had made a contract in Brunswick, the plea would have been bed, but that was a plea of privilege. An ordinary individual would he bound to submit to the judgment of that Court, but a Sovereign was not bound. The COURT took time to consider their decision. JUDGES' CIiAMBERS, April 27. (Before Mr. Justice MAW.: ) POWELL V. DRADBERY AND EVANS. Mr. linnsoN, the plaintiff's solicitor, applied for an order to inspect a document, and also for a copy to be supplied. The plaintiff was a sub-editor of a paper be lotlgipg to the dellndants, called the Daily Jews, and had brought an action to recover damages for the breach of an agreement for two years, which had been mutually entered into. The plaintiff having received from the Bristol correspondent of the Daily News a re port of a case in the District Court of Bankruptcy of that place, in the course of his ordinary duty had revised and abridged it for insertion. This insertion formed the pre text for the plaintiff's dismissal, the defendant pleading in reply to the action that the abridged report so inserted was an unfair, partial, garbled, and it raper report. The plaintiff and his solicitcr hatt-ntade spins affidavit, swearing that an inspection of the original copy was - material to the case. The defendants' solicitor contended, that in all cases where inspectinn and copies had been granted the plaintiffs had been a party to the document, which was not so in the present case. Mr. livpso - N relied upon the case of " Blogg v. Kent,' (6 Bing. 664), where a party being trustee, or in the cha racter of trustee, was compelled to grant inspection of the document; and he submitted that the defendants in this casa were quasi trustees, as newspapers were com pelled by Act of Parliament to keep the originals of matter inserted for twelve months, for the benefit of the public, in case proceedings should be taken in the mean time. Mr. Jus tice MILIILE said he saw ne reason for the ap plication, and should not make the order. Mr. IltmsoN hoped his Lordship would, if he had any doubt, allow an application to the Curt. Mr. Justice MAULE said he could not prevent the parties from applying to the Court, but he had no doubt there was no ground for the application. 1 ----- - Bell's Life in London, of May 2, - will have the fullest and most correct particulars of Chester Races.
