The present is the forty eighth annual publication. Few commercial and trading men can how require particular description of the really important and useed I nformation, 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. R. Davies, there are divisions comprising, among other information, "Official," "Street," " Commercial," " Trades," "Law," " Court," "Parlia- Inentary," " Postal," " City," "Conveyance," "Bankins," and many other Directories. The hope is expressed la the preface that this forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office London Directory" may be found " in all respects to equal the best of its predecessors." From very consider able examination of the marvellously fell and varied contents and information on matters which it must be so difficult, laborious, 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 rind additions, largely adding to the usefulness of the book. It is intimated, and truly, that although all e °„ uMetition has disappeared, the present volume is conspicuous proof that there has been no relaxation in the multifarious labours to per fect the extraordinary work. In speaking of past success, it is s elleerved that it has been, "even in a pecuniaryspoint of view, belie s_ , Axial to the public, is proved by the fact tkat important improve meatses and additions ar e ianually made without any increase of `s ,• s Price "—a result that, it is declared, " could not have bees the t' ~cslle, had the public patronage been divided." With reference t Su" the price, we certainly must acknowledge that it is wonderffil how it can be profitable to provide such varied materials --and materials constantly nging and requiring so much Nothing such ceaseless labour and coat to procure, and then to classify. e thiug but a tremendous sale could make the speculation answer. Among th e important alterations will be found those introduced into min e ?ester Directory. It is, indeed, singularly full, useful, and ; and must mach increase the daily, it might be more truly .pronouncedarete its hourly value, particularly to the merchant, the s,oerrthe professional man.

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 Pest-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 ISM Nor has the proprietor rested content with his past success, but has introduced many impor-. taut 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 hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work 50 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 of a work unequalled for accuracy and fir clearness has placed in the bands of the commercial public a most valuable and indispensable aid in carrying •n 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 have an opportunity of judging for themselves en pur chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any degree exaggerated. HERAPATIPS RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 91, 1846. The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and improvements anon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge. ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which this important, and it is net 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, Barely 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 copyrighliffy 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 raiter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un wearied toil and application on the part of these engaged in the com pilation of the work) are duly appreciated, is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the Directory' passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully with this.

DESTITUTION AND SICKNESS. The affluent and benevolent are earnestly solicited to aid the efforts new making by the Managing Committee of the ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's lan-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 sr, where to obtqin them, and while seeking for the means of admission would, in all probability, perish unheeded 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.

The interest which the Earl of Powis had uniformly displayed in all that concerns the University, and the acquaintance which by his education and subsequent connexion with it he had maintained with our academic institutions—the independence of his character and e position—th zeal and ene which he has exhibited in forwarding the interests of the Church, rgy and his able and effectual support of her claims, naturally directed the attention of many members of the Vni versit to ths nobleman, asteps were immediately taken to obtain his Lordship' i s consent to be put in no for the high office of Chancellor. The Earl of Powis at once acceded to the request, and the favour able manner in which his Lordship's name has been received assures vitations to Lord Fowls will secure the warm and hearty this ccmmittee that the same considerations which led to the first in all who feel how important it is to the University that their Chancel lor should possess those qualities for which the support el' Earl of Powis is so eminently distinguished.

STOCK EXCHANGE.—The markets have looked better during the week, but without any very decided movements; to-day, however, the business transacted has been without animation, and at some small reduction in the quotations of many stocks. As contrasted with the prices of Saturday last, a small improvement is to be noted in East Laucashires, Huddersfield and Manchesters, Dewsburys, Matlocks, North Staffordshires, North-Westerns, and West Riding Unions. Thirsks are all better, and in demand, rumours of amalga mation being again afloat.

PRICE SD. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.-MONDAY. During last week, up to Saturday evening, the arrivals of English Wheat in the port of London, were unusually small; while those of all other articles of home produce were on a very limited scale. By land carriage and samples, the re ceipts were trifling; and the same observations may be applied to those from Ireland and Scotland. The imports of foreign Corn, Pulse and Flour were limited. Fresh up to day, a moderate quantity of Wheat of home produce reached us from Essex ; but the supply from Kent, Cambridge shire, &c., was small. The market opened by the factors demanding an advance in the quota tions paid on Monday last—arising from the limited number of samples brought forward, of from 4s to 5s per quarter. At that improvement no sales were effected ; and the trade became excessively heavy—so dull, indeed, that up to twelve o'clock scarcely a single parcel had charged hands. Under these circumstances, we have to report unusual dul ness in the trade, and, in some instances, a decline of quite Is per quarter in the rates paid on this day s'ennight. At the conclusion of business, a clearance had not been effected. The show of Foreign was again small, yet, owing to the millers evincing an uneasiness to purchase at present prices, the trade was in a sluggish state, at barely last week's quotations. Notwithstanding the quantity of Barley was limited. the trade with that article was exceedingly dull, at an abatement in value of from is to 2s per quartgr. Superfine White Malt moved off slowly, at full prices; but all other kinds might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. With Oats we were agai scantily supplied. Still, however, the I Oat trade was slow,n and prices were with difficulty sup ported. The sale of Beans was heavy, and when transac -1 lions were forced is to 2s per quarter less money was taken. In Peas next to nothing was ding, at a reduction of Is per quarter. The Flour trade was very dnll, both for sack and barrelled parcels, at barely late rates. Indian Corn was dull.

We had on offer to-day only 70 Beasts and 90 Sheep from abroad. The quality being tolerably good, nearly the whole was disposed of at full prices. The number of home-fed Beasts on sale was seasonably extensive, and of full average condition, yet the actual weight of beef was not equal to that exhibited on Monday last. The dead markets being heavily supplied with country-killed Meat, and the weather by no means favourable to slaughtering, the beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at, in most instances, a decline on last week's quotations of 2d per 81bs., the highest figures for the best Scots not exceeding 4s 2d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,400 Scots, home-breds and short-horns ; from the northern districts, 600 short- horns ; from the western and midland Counties, 560 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 of various (rinds; and, from Scotland, 90 horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were again very small, owing to which, the salesmen demanded advanced rates for that description of stock. In some instances, a trifle more money was paid for the primest Old Downs; but, as this advance was by no means general, we can make no alteration in our last weeks rates. The trade, however, must be considered firm ; and a good clearance was effected. There were about 300 shorn sheep offering. With Calves, we were scantily supplied, yet the Veal trade was heavy, at the late decline in value. Pigs were in moderate supply, and sluggish inquiry, at unaltered rates.

Since Monday last the arrivals of slaughtered Meat from Scotland and the north of England have been very large, viz., about 18,000 carcases, chiefly of Mutton and Pork. These large supplies, together with the change in the weather, have caused the general demand to be exceedingly heavy; and the quotations have declined 2d. per 81bs. with out effecting clearances. The supply of Meat killed in the metropolis has been but moderate. About one hundred carcases of Foreign Beef and Mutton have appeared on sale. At per atone by the Carcase. s. d. to.s. d. s. d. to s.

PORZSMOUTII, FAB. 19.—The Emerald tender returned from Yarmouth last night, and this morning the Echo and Monkey towed up the two mooring lumps, and the flat boats which have been employed. Mr. Bellamy, Assistant-Master Attendant, and all the men who were employed afloat, have also returned. As we stated yesterday, there will be no fur ther attempts made to get the Sphynx off until settled fine weather sets in, and it seems the general impression that that will not be before the latter end of April or beginning of May. In the meantime everything will be taken out of her that can be removed, There has been no possibility of commnnicating from seaward with the Sphynx since Satur day, the vessels having been obliged te take shelter in Yar mouth Roads. The vessels have been left behind. The Birkenhead steam-transport, Commander Ingram, has had her compasses adjusted to-day by Captain Johnson, for local attraction. She is to be ready for embarking troops to morrow. The African steam-tug, Mr. Barker, master, has bed her mast taken out to-day, the head of which was carried away in coming here from Sheerness. The dockyard artizans are at work on her, and as she must have a new mast, it is not likely she will be ready to take the supernumeraries for the Rosamond steam-sloop for Plymouth before Monday. SUNDAY, Fun. 21.—The officers and crew of the Sphvnx were paid off at the Navy Pay-office in the dockyard y es . t.r a ila 'h Y. e Emerald tender, Second Master-Commanding H. Beach, sailed yesterday for Plymouth, with supernumeraries. The Dolphin, 3, brigantine, Commander It. J. T. Miller, arrived last night at St. Helen's, and came to Spithead this morning, from South America. We give her news, which is very late, in another place. Letters have been received here from the Salamander steam-sloop, Captain Hamond, dated English Harbour, An tigua, the 29th ult., from which it appears that she left Bahia on the Ist of January, but that on the 17th, in a squall, she carried away her bowsprit and sprung her main-mast, which induced her cemmander to make for Antigua, where he arrived on the 28th. As the vessel required caulking and refitting, they were not in expectation of reaching England before April. The Birkenhead steam transport, Commander A. Ingram, has been so much retarded in her refitment by the late bad weather, that she will not be ready for receiving troops be fore Wednesday next. The baggage will, it is expected ar t rive on Tuesday. The Admiralty have issued an order prohibiting the entry of any more boys for the navy. The Victory is daily vic tua iling about 1,1 5 0 stomachs. Boys fr om Ireland, Scot land, and the innermost recesses of Wales, are daily offering themselves for entry. We are requested to make known that no more can be received at present.

The Hydra steam-sloop, Com mander Young, was left at the island by the commodore, to recruit the health of the officers and crew prior to returning to England to be paid off. Commander Morrell, late of the Tortoise store and guard ship, will bring her home. She was to leave on the Ist of February. The Larne, 18, Com mander Brisbane, and the Espoir, 10, Commander Hand, are also ordered home. The Flying Fish, 12, Commander Dyke, was at Lagos on the 12th of November, all well. The Wanderer, 12, Commander Somerville, was at Lagos on the 15th of December. The fever was raging violently on board; Lieutenant Wallers and many others had fallen vic tims to it. The Pantaloon, 10, Commander Douglas, was al so s i c kly by the last advices. very The Chancellor of the Exchequer has been suffer ing the laikt few days under a slight attack of lumbago. We are happy, however, to hear the Ri g h t H on. Gentleman was better yesterday morning, and it is expected he will be able to attend in 4;4 place in Pailiauient this evening. IRISH PAIWY- The Irish party assembled on Friday at their newchahl - King-street, St. James's, for the special purpose of con,- sidering the provisions of the important Bill recently intro- , duced into the House of Commons by Lord J. Russell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Labouchere, to facili tate the improvement of landed property in Ireland by the owners, and to afford employment to the labouring classes. The Marquis of Westmeath presided. Among the Irish noblemen and members of the Lower House present were the Earl of Mountcashel, Lord Monteagle, the Marquis of Sligo, Lord Bernard, Mr. W. Smith O'Brien, Mr. F. Shaw, Mr. Bernal Osborne, Mr. Fitzstephen French, Mr. G. A. Hamil ton Mr. Ormsby Gore, Mr. R. A. Fitzgerald , Mr. Lefroy, Mr. Gregory, Mr. H. Grattan, Mr. T. B. Martin, Mr. Grogan, Mr. J. R. Godley. The Noble CsAtratart proceeded to read the clauses of the Bill seriatim. After a vast deal of conference and consultation it was agreed that several suggested amendments should be brought under the consideration of the Legislature. The limitation of the advances out of the growing protuce of the Consoli dated Fund, for the purposes of the Act, to 1,500,0001., was regarded as injudicious, and the general impression appeared to be that the Treasury Commissioners should receive per mission to issue, as f rom ti me t o ti me m i g ht be required, sums of money not exceeding in the whole the sum of 2,000,0001. Air. F. FnExcif suggested that the third clause, which vested all powers appertaining to the execution of the Act in the Commissioners of Public Works, should be amended by the substitution of local commissioners, paid or unpaid. Viscount BERNARD and Mr. HAMILTON considered that, in addition to the wor k s o f d ra i nage, su b soiling, trench i ng, irrigation, or warping of land, reclamation, erecting and making corn mills, clearing lands of rocks and stones, erect ing substanti a l f arm h ouses and buildings, embanking' lands from the sea, specified in the 4th clause as those on which the proposed loans were to be expended, the construction of bridges and embankment of tidal piers would be found mani festly advantageous. Mr. SMITH O'BaiEw recommended an amendment of the 12th clause, which authorised the Commissioners of Public Works to require by deposit, land or otherwise, security for payment of the expenses incurred in reporting upon and in vestigating the subject of an application for loan. Instead of leaving the Commissioners at liberty to charge such costs as they pleased, he thought it would be well to have the liability for expenses limited to a per centage on the amount applied for. Mr. O'Brien also suggested that the Commis sioners should give notice of such application, not only --- in - the Dublin Gazette and the newspapers circulating.ln the county in which the lands are situate, as the 18th clause prescribed, but in the Dublin newspapers also, and in such other manner as wilt secure proper notice to the immediate lessor or his known agent. With regard to the 22d clause, rendering lands chargeable with loans granted from the date of the Commissioners' order, Mr. O'Brien further suggested that each portion ,f the land improved with the loan should be only liable for the amount expended on itself. Lord MOUNTCASHELL intimated that, in his opinion, the 22d clause—providing that errors and omissions in memo rials, schedules, or hakes proceeding ; under the,Aet, were not to prevent. the .Commissioners all ,intittcry m jridginent requisite for '''efuryinglthe provisions into effect, or to invalidate any rent charge chargeable under the Act—should be reconsidered when the Bill went into Committee. It was generally considered by the meeting that the loans should be issued by instalments, not exceeding at any time one-tenth of the entire sum, instead of one-fifth, and that no instalment should exceed in any case 500/., instead of 300 L It the event of an owner desiring to clear of his rent charge for loan more speedily than at the rate of 6/. 10s. per cent. for 22 years, the 40th section enacted that he could do so with the sanction of the Treasury Commissioners • but the Irish party thought that in such case notice should be given to the reversioner, and his consent obtained. Mr. ORMSBY GORE suggested that there should be clause introduced into the Bill, extending its benefits and advan tages to incorporated societies, such as the Waste Land Im provement Society of Ireland. Many members agreed with Mr. Gore, and it was deter mined to bring the subject under the consideration of Go vernment. _ _ Some routine business was then transacted, and thanks having been voted to the Marquis of Westmeath the meeting separated. " The Irish party" met again on Saturday ; the Earl of Massarene in the chair. The following members were pre sent :—Mr. W. S. O'Brien, Mr. P. S. Butler, Mr. H. Grattan, Colonel Acton, Mr. G. A. Hamilton, Mr. T. Martin, and Mr. Grogan. Some clauses of the proposed Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill were again discussed. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN announced that it was his intention to move several amendments to the Bill in Committee. In the formation of electoral districts pauperism bad been so allocated, in respect of the property liable for its relief, as to cause the pressure of poor-rate taxation to be very unequal. He should, therefore, propose that the Poor-law Commis sioners should revise and reconsider the electoral divisions of the several unions in such a manner as that the pau perism of each district should bear to the property liable for its relief as nearly an uniform proportion throughout each union as circumstances would allow ; that for each elec toral division there should be formed a relief committee, consisting of the justices of the peace, residing or pos sessing rateable property within such electoral divi sions, of the Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, Protestant, and Presbyterian clergymen, usually officiating in such divi sions, and of a proportionate number of wardens to be elected simultaneously with the guardians ; that the relief committees thus constituted were to consider and determine who stood in need of relief in each electoral division, and to certify their opinions with respect to the claims of each person applying for relief to the board of guardians, stating at the same time their opinion whether the person so applying ought to be re lieved in the workhouse or out of it; that the Poor-law Com missioners shall revise and reconstruct the unions, so that the extent of each shall not be more than 150,000 acres; that the repayment of the loans borrowed for the construction of the workhouses shall be defrayed by a rate levied accord ing to the net valuation, as an uniform poundage upon all rateable property in Ireland ; that the Poor-law Commis sioners shall make an uniform valuation of rateable property throughout Ireland, in so far as the same may be possible under the existing valuation Acts ; and lastly, that persons receiving fixed incomes from rateable property, by way of jointure, rent charge, or any other annuity, not being created in satisfaction for debt, shall be liable to all rates levied for the relief of the poor, just as if the income so received were receivable as rent. Several letters were read giving an appalling account of the daily increasing state of destitution in Ireland. It was unanimously resolved, that the fearful details of misery and suffering contained in those communications should be stated in the House of Commons, and the necessity of immediately providing food and seed for the Irish people again pressed upon Government.

ACCIDENT ON CONSTITUTION-HILL. —An accident, which was fortunately not attended with serious results, oc curred to a gentleman who was riding a spirited horse, on Saturday, down Constitution-hill, at the time her Majesty was proceeding through St. James's-park, en ronte to Clare mont. The horse, alarmed at the lances of the troop of Lancers, who formed her Majesty's escort, became unma nageable, and backed against the carriage in which the Queen was riding, nearly unhorsing its rider. It had no sooner cleared her Majesty's carriage, than it dashed with great force against the carriage and horses which followed, containing the two equerries to her soH ll sni l eos a rin j d e: kir t a y anb(e, a lese n kty d de:iis t st h deaeo e niwn l c ' neg ri i n tnh c t e eo thbo the r ne Consort.;ud its u n ri Thedt the violence rebsei dineg etfi oi the t ew h n e r ut c ao o d n a. c u e the alarming situation of the gentleman, immediately ordered the carriage to stop, and commanded the Equerry in Waiting, the Hon. Colonel Grey, to ascertain the state of the gentle man who had met with the accident. Her Majesty, after a delay of some minutes, having been informed that the gentle man, although covered with mud, was not seriously hurt, then proceeded onwards to Claremont. Both the Queen and the Prince Consort manifested great regret that an accident, under such circumstances should have occurred. BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTITUTE, GEORGE STREET.—The periodical " soirée," which took place on Friday evening last, in the drawing-rooms of the institute, was attended by the largest and most brilliant company of the season. The amusements were of the usual diversified and agreeable kind ; music, both vocal and instrumental being contributed by Miss Dolby, Miss Ransford, Mr. and Mrs. Weiss, Mr. Bodda, Mr. Lindsay Sloper, Mr. Willy, Mr. W. Dorrell, Mr. Goodban, and a new Belgian violinist, whose name has escaped us; while Mr. Buckingham took occasion to deliver, in his own popular, fluent, and instructive manner, a short lecture upon Babylon and the Tower of Babel.

FRIGHT/AIL OCCURRENCE AT CARSHALTON.-011 Friday afternoon an inquiry was gone into before William Carter, Esq., at the Greyhound Inn, Carshalton, touching the respective deaths of Charles Cooper, aged 45, Alice Cooper, aged 43, and Charles Cooper, aged 6 years, who lost their lives under the most frightful circumstances. It ap peared from the evidence that the deceased persons resided in a house built against a chalk pit, and formerly used as a stable, the roof being level with the adjoining fields. On Wednesday the earth gave way, forcing the brick wall in on the unfortunate occupants. At the back of the premises was formerly a warren for rabbits, which most likely was much undermined by them. The Coroner having summed up the case, the jury returned tha following ve rdict :--A That the decased persons were accidentally suffocated by the falling of a quantity of earth, which forced in the wall of a certain dwelling-house, which fell upon them as they lay in bed asleep.''

FUNERAL OF THE LATE DUKE OF NORTHUMBER LAND.—The remains of this lamented nobleman were re moved on Friday last from Alnwick Castle, and will on Tuesday be consigned to the vault of his ancestors in West. minster Abbey. The body was conveyed in a hearse drawn by six horses, and attended by the household of his Grace's establishment and a numerous body of tenantry, 300 of whom were on foot and 600 on horseback. The magistrates and clergy of the county of Northumberland preferred a request to be allowed to follow the remains in a body, but the re quest was respectfully declined by his Grace's relatives, it being their wish to have the attendance confined to the im mediate dependants on the family, the townspeople, and the tenantry. The shops in the town of Alnwick were closed, and the bells of the churches and of the Town-hall tolled at intervals. Nearly the whole male population of the town joined the procession. About a mile from Alnwick the procession halted, and the townspeople and members of the household filed off. Three miles fur ther another halt was made, and the tenantry flied off, and the procession, reduced to the hearse, the private carriage of his Grace, that of the Duchess, and a mourning Felton and Morpeth to Newcastle, being met at every stage of its progress by the mournful demonstrations of respect of the inhabitants of the various places through which it passed. At Newcastle it was met by the Mayor in his state carriage and the authorities of the town, and by a great number of gentlemen on horseback, upwards of thirty private carriages, and a large body of tenantry. The concourse of spectators I was immense, the bells of the churches being tolled and minute guns fired from the Castle. On reaching Tyne bridge the procession was met by the Mayor and corpora. tion of Gateshead, the flags on the ships in the river being hoisted half-mast high. At the railway station the hearse with the coffin in it was at once run on to a truck and se cured in the usual manner. This caused some disappoint ment to those who expected to get a view of the coffin. The arrangements throughout appear to have been very judicious. The manner in which the immense crowd of people who witnessed the possession exhibited their respect for the de ceased is the best testimony to his character and of their regret for his loss. It is understood that there will be no lying in state, but that to-day the private friends of his Grace will be admitted to Northumberland-house.

R. G. Walters, and Mr. A. Shenton, announcing dis coveries of minerals by their respective correspondents. Sir James Stirling's letters inform him that traces of a mine of copper or lead, or both have been discovered on his Wood bridge estate, as well as indications of coal ; also, that on Government land, about eighteen or twenty miles from Guild ford, a mine of tin, with a large proportion of silver, has been discovered. This letter is from Mr. Abraham Jones, of Woodbridge, and is dated " 15th September," from Guildford. Mr. Shenton writes (under date " September 13th"), "We , are now in a state of great excitement respecting minerals, good specimens of the ores of copper and tin being found ; and great hopes are entertained of the coal mines." Mr. Walters' letters announce the discovery of copper on the grant of Mr. Lukin, at the Toodyay about twelve or four teen miles west of Mr. Davey's grant; and on Mr. Demp ster's, six or seven miles north of it. ore supposed to be of tin or platina.—From the Swan River News for February. DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning, as a man was walking towards the entrance of 'Victoria-park, he perceived a quantity of blood close to a gravel pit, and on proceeding towards it discovered the body of a man in the pit with his throat cut, and quite dead. He immediately informed the police, who conveyed the body to the Hackney workhouse, where it remains awaiting a coroner's inquest. The deceased was about thirty-eight years of age, and was respectably dressed. He must have first inflicted the wound, and during his struggles have rolled into the pit. At present he has not been identified.
