. ~.\; J w 111OST-OPFICE LONDON DIRECTORY for 4317.—~11RCH EDITION. —Corrected in the Parliamentary tostal divisions to the latest period. To how recent a date th. , Uhvations have been brought down may be judged from the fact that he changes consequent on the demise of the We Duke el Northum lberland have been introduced In their proper order n the Parliameti- Ifary division of the work. MORNING CHRONICLE, Noy tO, 1846. The Powers of exp ans i on exhibited by this most useful annual Volume appear really unlimited. Publishe i during a series of forty eight years, Ina metropolis whose dwellings increase in number by a Yearly average of some fourteen thousand, and whore corethereil expands instill larger measure, the -" Post-oft:lee Directory" has be come enormously enhanced in bull, as also in the complicated 'variety of its indispensable contents The admirable success with Width the reallyenormous difficulties of his task have been overcome ax.v the indefatigable publisher has been proved by the experience f 'r Many years; and we need say little more than that the present 'Volume presents the same tokens as its predecessors, of intelligent : method and ingenuity of arrangement in packing Into reasonable " I nl 4 , and producing in lucid order its millions of facts and refertuce. Within two thousand pages every man may learn leer Within he ought to know about every one of his co-dwellers in "lagreat metropolis, their businesses, as we7l as everything rieces- May to facilitate him In his own. The very rapid ex, ension of our railway system, and the new postal arrangements with some conti l'ental states, have rendered necessary some extensive additions to the sections appropriated to Conveyance and the Post-office. We n na the Information given under those heads not only as full 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- I llt ude. Prefixed to the volume is about. the best Map of London we maPlYan to have met with. TIMES, Nov. 18, P 846. The forty-eighthannual publication of this work—the volume for 1847 —is now issued. It is a wonderfully different affair from the oki Directory, which used to consist of little or nothing more than The alphabetical list of tradesmen; it comprises now, and has for wnettle years, a " Street Directory," a " Trades' Directory," a " Court irectory," a " Postal Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," with hoat of other little digests. . The volume appears to have been very c erallY revised, and s u ppli es t h e l ates t i n f ormat i on . Of course, the, Postal treaty with Prussia has not been overlooked ; and 1n minor Points the work seems to bear the test of search into matters in Willela changes have been very recent. MORNING POST, Nov. 19, 1846. The forty-eighth annual publication of this admirable work has .Nst been issued. Any dissertation on the usefhlness of this volume, after its well-proven service in almost every counting-house in the Metropolis. for so many years fast, must be quite unnecessary. Self !" ittg say, the present edition possesses all the mer;t of its prede `"Bil, while the alterations and corrections in the various depart rnedlis halm been carried down to the latest period. MORNING HERALD, Noe. 21, 1546, talky as the proportions of this indispensable work have hitherto been, the volume for 1847 comes forth under circumstances of still Vitrther enlargement. The experience of 47 years has obviously enabled the proprietor, Mr. Frederick Kelly, to produce a Directory of unrivalled completeness, wherein every species of fact likely to be *wanted by the merchant and trader is placed within convenient encase. The volume contains upwards of 2,000 closely-printed royal octavo pages, betokening a singular amount of industry as a matter of compilation, and awakening astonishment at the comprehensive ness of the machinery which could bring within a common focus no much varied and scattered intelligence —embracing, as it does, a multiplicity of heads, and involving the se rv i ces o f a v ast number of contributors. We believe that the present volume is not to be snatched in the whole world, for such a mammoth aggregate of local and specific information is so lees a typographical wonder than a Drodigiolut montilMent of diligence and enterprise. Some dozen or so ' Se ate Directors are I nc l u d ed in this huge periodical — the only one` lt seerne s of the annual tribe destined to a permanent existence as veritable triumph, indeed, of the utilitarian prinsipid over the :Trento'. The " Official Directory " is a key to the whole of the I o w v e e db most offices, and a record of official personages. This is fol thorough.faa those " Street Directory," exhibiting the tradesmen in every at re, and the points at which the streets are intersected by ; while the "Commercial and Professional r„s; a ey' is an alphabetical arrangement ot the above. Then comes 1 ,.. 46 I . des' Directory," in which the names are allocated under their Queen's c al li ngs. The " Law Directory" is a list of judges, u e e n s counsel, Sergeants, barristers, attorneys, !_OZ of the various Courts of Law, their officers, and their peculiari ties with a cata ties of jurisdiction. The "Court Directory" comprises the addresses of the nobili ty and gentry ; and the " Parliamentary Directory" is a record of the Members of the Honse of Lords and Commons, with e al phabetical list of th e b oroughs, c i t i es, an d coun ties returning eMbers to Parliament, the surnames and eldest sons of peers, &c. The " Post a l Directory" contains the hour of receipt and delivery of every Post -office in the kingdom ; the cities and principal places throughout the world to which mails are dispatched from London ; the rates of foreign postage ; the railway mails and the cross-road mails, ' &c . The " City Directory" registers the civic authorities, the public " n ni , aalee, the brokers, the incumbents and ministers of the churches and chapels, the newspapers, &c. ; and the " conveyance Directory" includ es th e railway tables, the coach and backing offices, the wharfs, &c. The volume closes with Banking and Assurance Directories. These various heads will serve to indicate the multi tudinous nature of the contents, for out of them come a variety of Subordinate directories, which meet every conceivable 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 119118e. The editor, in hi s p re f ace , t a k e s occasion to congratulate himself on the many improvements he has this year introduced, Inin elPallY flowing from the employ - rneut of " selected agents," instead of the ordinary carriers of the Post-office. Among the specific alterations, the sew postage treaty with Prussia, which came into operation on the let 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-office 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 ; tt 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 tang are truly wonder rill. Being prepared " under the immediate and sPaclal patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General," the amplest and complotost means were, of coarse, at the command of the pro prietor, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy of the voluminous and crowded contents of the bulky work. The present is the forty eighth annual publication. Few commercial and trading men can Itow require particular description of the really important and useful information, to almost every party in any sort of business, occupying the two thousand closely but clearly printed octavo 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 are divisions comprising, among other information, " Official," " Street," " Commercial," " Tradee," "Law," " Court," " Inentary," " Postal," " City," "Conveyance," "Bankin4," and ma Pari ny other Directories. The hope is expressed in the preface that this forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office London Di rec t ory " may be found " in all respects 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 difficult, labor! ais, 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 net only fuller in many respects, but there are several important alterations and additions, largely adding to the nsefulness of the book. It is intimated, and truly, that although all competition 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 observed that it has been, "even in a pecuniary point of view, bene ficial to the public, is proved by the fact that important improve invents 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 material., constantly changing and requiring so much 511. 21 auch ceaseless l a b our and cost to procure, and then to classify. Nothing but a trem en d ous sale could make the speculation answer. t": o n ., the important alterations will be found those introduced into I e CO n n3 1 Postal " , pr a o d n p e its ur Directory . It is, indeed, singularly full, useful, and and must mu lc h increase the daily, it might be more tru l y ounced Y value, particularly to the merchant, the tr r, or the professional man. As the new treaty with Prussia Caused very considerable changes in the rates of postage as effecting the Austrian dominions, Baden, Bavaria, Bremen, Denmark, the G erman States, Hamburg, Manover, Lubeck, Mecklenburgh, Olden burgh, Pola n d , Prussia, Saxony, Sweden and Norway, Wurtemburg, 4ke ' &C., those changes are detailed " precisely as they arranged to come into operation on the Ist of January, 1847." The other changes 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 commencement of the year for which it is designed. The business merits of the work are of the highest order, and render it, of its kind, we imagine, a publication unexampled in the world for its completeness, falness, and usefulness. SUN, Noy. 18, 181 G The present Is the forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office London Directory," and a truly marvellous effort of compilation it is. The " Post-office Directory" has been for some yearn under the management of Mr. Kelly. Until he became the manager of this work, there were divers other Directories in the field. They have, however, all disappeared, and the " Post-office Directory" now rules alone. This astonishing success, however, has not had the effect of making the proprietor of this gigantic work careless. Ile is too thorough a man of business not to be perfectly aware that the fruits of his success can only be reaped by a continuance of the same untiring energy by which the success was in the first instance achieved, and accordingly we find that the " Post-office Directory" for 1e47, is even more highly finished in all its elaborate arrangements than any former edition of the hook. The extent and Minuteness of the details furnished, render the work indispensable to every 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 ffirnish the information—a marvellous llttance of clearness of arrangement in a tt 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 consicering the completeness and fulness of the information ffirnished, and the enormous outlay of time and o capital that must have been made in order to acquire and digest the information, the very reasonable price at which the work is published la really wonderflll. GLOBE, Nov. 21, 1846. Relly's invaluable work, the " Post-office Directory," has just Made Its appearance for the ensuing year. The vast mass of infor mation which this book contains, makes it not only desirable but absolutely necessary as a part of the office furniture of every man of business ; and scarcely less necessary, indeed, for every one else, Who requires to know alything concerning the trades, professions, and localities of the great metropolis, In its present extended form, the book is an absolute curiosity; the labour and expense which it has cost to bring it to its present state of perfection must have been immense, In turning over Its two thousand pages, one hardly knows which most to be struck with and admire—the excellent arrangement and utility of such a compilation, or the magnitude of the city which requires such a directory. The volume, moreover, contains an excellent map of London and the suburbs, corrected down to the latest strides of " bricks and mortar." WEEKLY DISPATCH, Nov. 15, 1845. The forty-eighth annual publication ef this highly-important and useful work has just been issued ; and we must confess that its balky appearance has surprised us not a little ; and when we reflect that the price remains unaltered, although the expense of collecting the materials must have increased, we are pleased at the liberality of Mr, Kelly, the proprietor. In a commercial point of view, per haps, no book ever contained so much useful matter. Among other information, there is an " 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 Directory," and a " Banking Direc tory,"--in fact, the volume contains much that is interesting and valuable to the tradesman, the merchant, the lawyer, and perskris in ordinary life, as well as to the gentleman who occasionally dabbles in trade. Every description of information has been corrected to the latest possible period, and that information is arranged with a clearness and simplicity which must have involved great activity al mind and exertion of body. Sewed with the book is an excellently engraved Map of London, more extended and accurate as to the' sathurbs than any map we have seen ; and to make it as complete a reference as possible, an alumnae is introduced. In the " Postal Directory" there are the new rates with various parts ef the Con tinent which will come into operation on the Ist ef January. Altogether this new Issue surp asses any of its predec essors ; and we are net surprised that other Directories h s—oul— have gone to the tomb of all trio Capnlets. BRITINXIA, Nov. 21, 1846. though with r The French people have done themselves some cr e dit b y in &atrial expositions. But it must be acknowledged that, in genious and pretty, they appear quite insignificant cernp e the industrial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty volume. Keeping pace with the advancing trade and population of London, it still increases in bulk, and keeping pace with the move ment of society in a more important particular, it vigilantly seizes every opportunity of Improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete classification. We find in this volume many in stances of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively trifling, show the intelligence and care exercised over every depart rant. It may be mentioned, that by the employment of private agents, the changes of reside , ce 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 t he Proper management of business. Its authority is now so univer eallY established, both at the Post-office and throughout the metro- P° ll3 , that any Mrther recommendation of it is superfluous. JOHN BULL, Nov. 28, 1846. This annual leviathan is already completed and published ; but ." a proof that th e ra pidity w ith wkich it must have passed through t he Prose has not operated against its careful accuracy, we may Mention that the changes rendered necessary by the very recent demise of Mr. Stewart, M.P. for Itenfrowshire, are duly attended to (Sew pages 1669 and 1676). We have so frequently expressed our a Pprobation of this most valuable work, that we hardly know how r 2 47 our commendation. It contains everything that can pos ybe required in a directory —so full, so complete, so compre hensive are all its details. And when to this we add the extreme accuracy which perv a d es ever y d epar t men t , we k now no t w h a t else m ean be said in its praise. Th e mac hi nery b y w hi c h suc h volu minous information is obtained, arranged, an d super i n t en d e d, so as t avoid errors, must of it se lf b e among the " curiosities " of modern 11 +nature. ATLAS, Nov. 25, A book of this ki n d . b rought out even MI6. without much pretension would be indispensable to every gentleman's library, every imrchant's ' Mi nting-house, and every trader', , shop. But edited as this is, with sae 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 can afford a book of reference, will be without this compendious volume. The arrangement is admirable. You ( - 411 raid thy naun 30U wont in a moment.

King, acting master, commanding, retu rne d int* port this morning from the wreck of the Sphynx, leaving the Monkey to supply her place. Her machinery is so disordered that it is feared she will nut be able to pro ceed with the supernumeraries for the Rosamond to Plymouth, in which case the Birkenhead must be sent. The African brought in Lieutenant Thompson, of the Victory, and a party of his men, from Yarmouth, and it is generally understood that all attempts to get the Sphynx off will be abandoned until finer weather , shall have set in. The operations, therefore, will be confined to clearing her of everything that can be removed. The Dauntless, new steam-frigate which is going to the Clyde to get her engines, has been ordered to load with Indian meal. The Leander, is being rapidly proceeded with, and is fast approaching completion. The Arrogant, 46, steam-frigate, with auxiliary screw, building by Mr. Fincham, the master-shipwright, is nearly completed. The ways are being laid fur launch ing her. Great progress has been made in forwarding the Royal Frederick, of 110 guns. A great number of workmen are employed on her, r.nd if they are not removed she will be ready fur launching in July or August next. The Penelope, steam-frigate, Captain Giffard, arrived at Madeira from this port on the 16th of January, and left on the 20th for Ascension, to take the broad pen dant of Commodore Sir Charles Hotham, K.C.8., the Commander-in Chief on the West Coast of Africa. station. A letter from her dated the 19th ult. reports All well on board." The Vernon, 50, Captain Fitzgerald, flag of Rear- Admiral Inglefieid, arrived at the Cape of Good Hope en route to the East Indies and China, from the River Plate, on the 17th of December. The Acorn, 16, Com mander Bingham, also arrived on the same day from Monte Video. Both remained at the Cape on the,2oth of December. The President. 50, Captain Stanley, flag of Rear-Ad miral Dacres,Commandi•rin-Chief on the Cape of Good Hope station, v‘ois at Simon's Bay on the 20th of De cember, as also were the Thunderbolt steam-sloop, Con. mander Boyle, and the Cleopatra, 26, Captain Wyvill, about to sail for England to be paid off. The Dido, 20, Captain Maxwell, arrived at Table Bay from Simon's Bay on the 16th of December, and was in port there on the 19th, about to proceed to the East India and China station. The Conway, 26, Captain Kelly, arrived at the Mau ritius from the Cape on the 22d of November. The Snake, 16, Captain Brown, arrived at the Mau ritius on the 25th of November from Cosmeled, and sailed on the 29th for the coast and the, Cape. Thr• America, 50, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, from Corunna and the Thetis, 36, Captain Codrington, joined Sir William Parker's squadron off Lisbon on the 9th inst. The latter grounded on entering the harbour, and remained ashore two hours. She, however, got off with out damage. A letter received this morning from the mother of a seaman of the Wanderer, 16, Commander Somerville, on the coast of Africa station, states that she was at the Pongas at the date of the letter, and the coast fever was raging awfully on board. WOOLWICU, FEE. 18.—The Odin steam-frigate, Cap lain %Rims, of the Amphion, having taken on board a quantity of provisions at Deptford for conveyance to lreinnd, went down the river this afternoon to Green. hithe to have her compasses adjusted, and will th6l l Pro' ceed to her destination. The Lightning steam-vessel brought down the Kite steam-vessel from Deptford to Woolwich yesterday, and the former steam vessel has been placed under orders to proceed to Liverpool to serve as a packet for some time at that station. The Wildfire steam-vessel, Second Master George Brockman commanding, left Woolwich yesterday for Sheerness. The Charon steam-vessel, formerly a Dover packet, is ordered from Woolwich to Chatham. The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Abraham Parks, has returned to her station in Leith. roads, from the north coast of Scotland, having been employed in conveying troops to Speynsouth, Burghead o Cromarty, and other places in that quarter, on account of the riots which have taken place in consequence of the shipment of grain at those ports. The Crown agent fur Scotland, since the return of Lieutenant Parks, has presented to him a handsome gold snuff-box, weighing upwards of four ounces, as a mark of esteem and appro.. bation of his services. The Terrible steam-frigate was taken out of dock yes terday afternoon, and the labourers were afterwards employed to clean out the dock, as is usual on such oc casions. One of the party, named Charles Donoghue, accidentally fell off the steps into the water in.the dock, and was drowned. His body was recovered within about four minutes, and taken to Dr. Suther's surgery, and proper remedies applied, but life was extinct. No. 16,980. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING Ny FEBRUARY 19, 1847. 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 ILA 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 contided 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 introduced many impor tant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its bulk with out any increase of price. Ihe 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 HER tLD, Nov. 21, 1846. The new volume of the Pest-office Directory for 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 deg ree im p roved. 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 for clearness has placed in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and indispensable aid in carrying en the business of this vast metropolis, which would indeed be 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. 21, 1846. The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and Improvements neon 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 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-effice 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 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 successfidly with this. They have disappeared." Kelly and Co., 19 and 20, Old Boswell-court, Temple Bar, and all booksellers. Ready, HOW TO RE-CONSTRUCT THE INDUS TRIAL CONDITION OF IRELAND. A LETTER TO LORD J. RUSSELL.

All can now be pleased, whatever is desired in Light. The PEARL C kNDLE LAMP is the perfection of Candle Lights, and must succeed ; its simplicity myriads will admire. To sell the ordi nary Candle Lamps is now impossible—the public have long enough been pestered with such rubbish. The DIAMOND CARCEL OIL LAMP is the best oil light in the world. The Carcel Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe; this is sufficient guarantee for all—it never will be out-done. 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 cax we come? Certain, henceforward the only lights will be—the Sun, the mighty gem of Heaven by day ; the Pearl and Diamond Lights at evening ; and the Star at Right, to illumine the British territory, burning con tinually at CLARK'S, the immense LAMP DEPOT, 447, West Strand, ten doors from Lowther Arcade.

His emaciated frame betokened that his death was the result of want. He was a native of Burrishoole. On Friday last a poor man died at Deradda, near Newport, of actual hunger, leaving a family to follow in rapid succession. On Saturday a poor man was also found expiring from exhaustion at Roos keen, and notwithstanding relief being brought, the poor man died, food having come too late! In the neighbourhood of Breaffy, near this town, the following deaths have oc curred from starvation an 4 disease-Michael M'Enally, of Roemon, on the 12th ; Peter Swords, of Derrinacrisharn, on the 12th; his wife on the 12th; James Gavan, of Ballysbawn, on the Bth ; his wife on the 10th. All these cases proceeded from dysentery and exhaustion. On Sun day, the 7th instant, Mr. Atkinson, coroner, held an inquest on the body of Patrick Maughan, at Coonanarrow. The deceased has left a family, who are in the most indigent state. The jury verdict was—' Death by starvation.' In this village there is not a family that do not appear likely to fall victims to famine. On the same day, on the body of James Brislane, at Kilcrimmin. The deceased was put on the public works a few days previous to his death, and was hastening on Saturday evening to the office of the pay-clerk, but being very weak from want of food, he fell en the way, and was found dead next morning. Verdict—' Death by starvation.' On Monday, the fith, on the body of Pat How ley, at Saltfield. The deceased was employed on the public works, and was found lying on the road, where he had fallen, by a person passing by; when removed to the nearest habi tation he died shortly after. Verdict—' Death by starvation.' On the same day, on the body of William Sheridan, at Cloonta. The deceased had been in a great state of destitu tion, and going from one village to another he fell into a small rivulet which he attempted to cross, and from his de bility was unable to extricate himself! Verdict—' Death by drowning, but attributed to starvation.' This coroner states there were twelve more inquests reported in his district, bat which from indisposition he has been unable to attend. Dur ing the past week Mr. O'Grady, coroner, held inquests on the following persons:—Anne Philbin, Patt Hannon, Francis Gannon, Jordan Morrisroe, Anne Teatum, Patrick Carey, Thomas Costello, Constantine Muller, John Mulloy, Bridget Mulloy. In each of these cases the verdict returned was— ' Death from starvation.' " In the same paper there is giTen an account of a most atrocious murder which was perpetrated on the night of the 11th inst., about four miles to to the west of Louisburgh :7 "It appears that two sisters, named Mary and Honor Gib bons, lived near a brother of theirs named Jamed Gibbons; Mary went on that day to Louisburgh to purchase provi sions, but did not return ; in her absence the house was burned, as well as the body of her unfortunate sister. Mr. Waishe and the coroner arrived there, and, after two days' inquiry, Mr. Walshe and the police found hid in Janies Gibbons' house a large quantity of the unfortunate woman's property ; it was also discovered that he sold at daybrelk the feather bed on which she lay the night she was murdered. Gibbons was found to be somewhat burned, and there was evidence from two of his relatives against him. The jury unanimously returned a verdict of wiltul murder against him. He has been fully committed. It was with difficulty that the police saved him from being struck by the stones which the country people flung at him. The woman's right leg and arm were burned to a cinder." GALWAY ELECTION. I GALWAY, MONDAY EVENING, FEB. 15.—The gross poll, as declared by the returning officer this afternoon, is as follows ; The Solicitor-General Mr. O'Flaherty 475 Majority for the Solicitor-General —s This has been an extremely close struggle, and the result is still doubtful, although the prevailing opinion is that the Solicitor-General will be returned by a very small majority. Some of the tenantry of the Marquis of Clanricarde came into town this morning to record their votes, and it was deemed necessary to afford them the protection of a military escort, in consequence of the growing excitement amongst the populace in this town. GALWAY ' TUESDAY, I'm 16.—The poll opened soon after nine o'clock this morning ; but it goes on very languidly, and pretty equally on both sides. The contest willl, it is thought, close this evening, and the chances are that the Solicitor- General will be returned. But the issue is still very doubtful. QUAEYEA-FAST ONE O'CLOCE.—The numbers polled this day are : Monahan, Solicitor- General O'Flaherty This reduces the majority of the Solicitor-General on the gross poll to three. Twi) o'CLocK.—There are conflicting accounts of the state of the poll at this hour. The friends of the Solicitor-General state that he is still in a majority of four, whilst the Repealers assert that O'Flaherty has a majority on the gross poll of two or three. There was some rioting and stone• throwing in the street this morning for nearly two hours, but no very serious ca sualty occurred, as far as we could learn. On Sunday, a man, accompanied by his wife and child, applied for charity at the house of a person residing at Strawberry-hill, near this city. The owner of the house, being himself a poor man, said he had nothing to give away, on which the applicants entered, and took up their seats in ide. A piece of rag dropped from the male pauper while in the act of stooping to light his pipe, which was at once picked up by one of the inmates of the house. The child of the former, seeing this, exclaimed, " They have; got your money, daddy," whereupon the man turned round, and de manded "his money" of the owner of the house. The latter refused, until he ascertained the amount, and a scuffle ensued, in which all parties present heartily joined. The noise at tracted the neighbours, who rushed in, and on learning the state of the case, insisted the contents of the "rag" should be disclosed. This was done, and it was found to contain 25 sovereigns, 12 half-crowns, and 2 shillings. The beggar and his family were returned the money, and took their departure amid the hooting and shouting of a large crowd of persons.— Cork Constitution. HORRIBLE FRATRICIDF.—The Journal des Ddbats publishes the following horrible case of fratricide from a letter dated Bethune, 6th inst. :—" A fratricide, committed with more than ordinary ferocity, has filled our arrondisse ment with consternation and alarm. N. Florentin Appour cheaux occupied a spacious flour-mill at Lorgies. His brother Louis was his partner. The latter, having badly 1 . managed his private fortune, was compelled by his creditors 1 to surrender his share in the flour-mill to his brother Flo rentin. This person was prosperous; whilst his brother of profligate habits committed an act of swindling, and, in order to avoid a prosecution, ho was obliged to sell a portion of his growing crop, together with his furniture. He still continued, however, to reside with his brother Florentin. The lat ter, at length, wearied with providing for the lavish ex penditure of Louis, determined to marry ; and, after having cautiously announced to his brother that the banns of his marriage had been published, he proceeded to his father's house, where he passed the afternoon. During his absence Louis, excited by disappointed cupidity, broke into Floren • tin's mill, and thence into his bedchamber, where his bed was locked in a recess. The unworthy brother next intro duced a piece of iron into the lock, in order to prevent its being opened. This he did in order that his brother might be obliged to strike a light, and thus enable him to see to accomplish his horrible intention. When Florentin returned home he proceeded to prepare for bed, but not being able to turn his key in the lock of his press, he did as his assassin anticipated, he lighted his lamp, after having removed some of his clothing. Louis then appeared armed with a musket, with which he struck his brother on the head. A severe struggle ensued, but at length the unfortunate Florentin re ceived a mortal blow as he was escaping from the mill, and fell to the ground. His execrable assassin, fearing that a breath of life might remain, closed his mouth and nostrils with clay. A few hours after the perpetration of that fra tricide, Louis Appourcheaux was arrested, still wet with the blood of the unfortunate Florentin." INTREPID CONDUCT OF A YOUTll.—Yesterday morning, between twelve and one o'clock, an express was re ceived at the London engine stations of the outbreak of a most destructive fire in the town of Old Brentford. In the space of a few minutes the County engine from the Regent's quadrant, and two belonging to the brigade, with the West of England one, started for the scene of conflagration, upon reaching which the firemen found that the outbreak had oc curred in the premises of Mr. Grover, a boot and shoemaker, situate in the High-street, next door to the well-known Red Lion Inn. It appears from inquiries made on the spot, that a youth, named George Best, in the service of Mr. O'Hara, butcher, first discovered the fire, and owing to his intrepid conduct, was the instrument of saving five lives from a horri ble death. Whilst in his master's yard he noticed smoke issuing from Mr. Grover's back windows, and on running to the front of the house he saw, by peeping through an aper ture in the window shutter, that the shop was in a general blaze. He immediately knocked at the door, and shouted, " Fire," but without being able to make she inmates sensible of the great danger to which they were exposed; he there fore, returned to the back of the building, and, after climb ing over the wall, succeeded, with the aid of a poleaxe used for killing bullocks, in breaking open the door, when he ascended the staircase, and made for Mr. Grover's bedroom; the smoke and sparks were at the same moment rushing upwards with the greatest impetuo sity. After considerable trouble he entered the bed chamber, bat the smoke had obtained such power over the inmates, that they were perfectly unconscious what was going on, and in the course of a few minutes longer, they must have been burnt to death. Best having laid hold of Mr. Grover's leg, shook him violently, and then took up a couple of his children in his arms and ran down the stairs with them. Having placed them in safe custody, he re turned and saved Mrs. Grover and her husband, and a third child was saved in the same manner. Not feeling then satis fied that all were saved, he returned into the burning pre mises for the third time, and inspected every room not on fire, and being convinced that all the inmates were got out, he was about to run down the stairs to escape himself, n.. coni. when ' a large sheet of flame overtook him on the staircase d pletcly knocked him down, but recoveredhaving leaped nt into thea himself, hhe opened one of the back windows and yard. effect had the smoke upon him, that the c h • th When picked up he was quite insensible, an b d ln s n t d ieh is a st p in o d w f e r r o f i u n l his i m d o b u e th res a t u n d re n d o . se, n a a n d a i i t t cou his se ex ertions,pbrea.iosreewtorteh3you not wa s b e s e o n m f e o r t The engines of Brentford, Islewortb, and otherneighbouring a most deplorable loss of life would have oeclirre( . towns, were early at the scene, but the fire was not extin guished until the whole of Mr. Grover's stock-in-trade was destroyed, and the premises partially gutted, The occupier, who has lost upwards of 5001 worth of property, was only insured for half that amount. One or two of the contigu ous premises are also damaged by fire, but not to any great extent.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news aper en Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary•, High gate for the efficacy et his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about tour months, nd the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies world gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of Its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfUme it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swint-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drop. en the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, wake It strong, and wevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops en your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to eurl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing adour removes headache and makes it a most necessary compaulen to the toilet.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 16.—During the last few days there has been more inquiry than for some time pre viously, both for goods and yarn. Although little business has been done, except in cases where holders consented, under the pressure of heavy stocks, to accept lower prices, there was upon the whole a more cheerful feeling on the Exchange yesterday, than on any market day since the commencement of the year ; and some of our best-informed merchants and manufacturers ap peared to think that there were strong indications of future improvement. We 1( ern, too, that the advices received from the United Stated, by the Hibernia, are very favourable, and give a more decided promise than heretofore of an extensive business to that country. We do not learn, indeed, that any very heavy orders have been received, nor are any such likely to be sent at this season ; but we believe that the small shipments sent out at the latter end of last year (some of them of fabrics which had not previously formed part of the regular exports to the United States), have been generally sold at remunerating prices ; and further orders have been given for those and other goods, so that a large business for the fall trade is generally expected. But, whatever expectations may be entertained as to future improve ment, the present position of spinners and manufacturers is exceedingly unfavourable. Probably, at no former period in the history of the cotton manufacture, has the margin between the cost of raw cotton and the price of the yarn, or cloth into which it is manufactured, been so small as at the present time; and the necessary result has been the working of short time by a very large proportion of the trade, and a total suspension of labour by a number of large establishments. During the last few days, the greater part of the millowners in Ashton, Stale) bridge, Hyde, &c., have began to work only eight hours per day ; and their example is likely to have considerable influence upon other parties, who have hitherto persisted in working full time. ROCHDALE, FEB. 15.—T0-day there has been an extremely dull market;the worst we have had since this year came in. Very few pieces have been sold, and comparatively few buyers have attended the market. It is reported that two small manufacturers for Black water market have stopped payment, and others are talked of. HALIFAX, FEB. 15.—Both spinners and manufacturers experienced a gleam of hope, when they saw the price of corn beginning to give way ; but the re-action in the cotton market has dashed their hopes, and made the gloom darker than before. Wools, both long and short, having become rather easier to buy, there has been more inquiry for them, but purchasers have been rather shy, iu the expectation of a more decided reduction. HUDDERSFIELD, FEB. 16.—A very dull market we had, and quite a gloom pervades amongst our cloth manufacturers. Hopes are entertained that the next packet from America may bring several orders; but this is net expected to improve any branch but the makers of light goods and vestments. LEEDS, FEB. 16.—We have a poor business doing at our Cloth Halls to-day ; and there is no new feature in the state of trade in our district which demands notice. Both manufacturers and merchants continue to act with great caution in their operations—the only mode to Manchester Guardian. meet the exigencies of the times.— THE FOOD Clusls.—Ten days ago the Duke of Portland directed that not any individual of his family or his establishment should be allowed more than one pound of bread per day; and that no pies, puddings, or pastry of any , description should be made for his household. And with re gard to the potato, every degree of care and prudence is to be observed. Let others, of whatever rank, station, or grade, pursue the same wise plan d , a lan waich, by provid ing against scarci t y of food, will efe p at the wicked purposes and ends of the provision tttnblers running those seltish men who are hoarding up provisions and up the cost of them.—From a Corresporuient. , OLDIIAM.—FALL OF A COTTON 1\ lILL. —On Sunoay last, shortly before one o'clock at no o n , ass sma terll cottonlately mill, situate near W er neth Coppice, achstreet, occupied by Messrs.

THE WOOLWICH CONVICTS. Yesterday an adjourned inquest was held at the Ord nance Arms, Woolwich, before Mr. C. J. Carttar, oa the bodies of William Abbott, aged twenty-seven, and William Wallington, aged fifty-seven, two prisoners under sentence of transportation on board the bulks at Woolwich. The coroner had signified his intention, in coned quence of what had transpired in the House of Com mons relative to the medical treatment of the prisoners, to institute a searching investigation, and it was agreed ' to order a post mortem examination by Mr. Bossey, the surgeon of the establishment, in the presence of some eminent member of the faculty. Mr. Bossey also expressed his desire that the fullest inquiry should be made into his treatment of the con victs. Yesterday Dr. Babington and Mr. Ashton Key, from Guy's Hoy paal. attended by request of the coroner. A short-band writer from the Secretary of State's office also attended, and took copious notes of the proceedings. Mr. Peter Bos , ey, surgeon of the convict establish• ment, detailed the symptoms and mode of treatment pursued in the case of Wallington, who had been several times in the hospital. No remedial measures, either in the way of medicine or nutriment, appear to have been spared; port wine, isinglass, jelly, egg and brandy, stewed eels, and:other articles being reely administered to him. At the conclusion of his evidence the Coroner put a number of questions to Mr. Bossey as to the allegations made in the House of Commons. In reply to these, Mr. Bossey denied that he had ever threatened any sick pri soner with flogging, though he cited cases in which the prisoners had for a time successfully feigned illness. There were cases in which he had threatened that if the attempts at imposition were continued, he would order the men to be flogged; but they were not flogged, nor were th, , ir cases even reported, upon their returning to work. He had never threatened the really sick prisoners under any circumstances whatever. With regard to the charge of bucketing sick patients, or pouring cold water over them, he stated that in the case of a prisoner named William Theobald, who was in a state of insensibility through paralysis, he applied the effusion of cold water to his head, wnich treatuient saved the prisoner's life at the time; and he believed this circumstance had been maliciously misrepresented. He had never ordered pri soners who were on their death-beds out to work. It had been stated, in the cast of a man named Hayden, that be had been ordered to get up, and that he died almost immediately afterwards. The fact was, the man died at six o'clock in the morning, and he (Mr. Bossey) had not seen him since the afternoon previous. With refer ence to the case of Henry Driver, whose body, it was alleged, was opened almost before life was extinct, and the entrails thrown into the Thames, the facts were, that he died at eight in the morning of the 26th of May, and the post mortem examination did not take place till nearly noon of the 27th, and the body was subsequently deli vered to his friends. After some further explanations from Mr. Bossey, Dr. Babbingtos, and Mr. Ashton Key were examined, and expressed their entire satisfaction both as to the cause of death and the course of treat ment pursued by Mr. Bossey. The hospital was more crowded than they could wish, there being 97 occupants instead of the general average of 60. Still the treat ment was excellent, and the diet was richer and better than in Guy's Hospital. The jury, without retiring, returned a verdict of " Died from natural causes," in both cases. The Coroner then expressed the pleasure he felt at the result of the inquiry, and regretted that the attack on Mr. Bossey should have been made for two reasons ; the first, because a statement made in the House of i C n o am serious s b3; ig a h n t ; H a o n n d .

DEATH BT r ALLEGED POISON - OE MEDICIFES.- Yesterday Mr. I - Nal:ley, M.P commenced S Wheat Sheaf, High-street, Camden-town,.' as intreiryboadt body t h e of Miss Sarah Ellen C o lli er , age d 19 , l ately res idi ng at No. 15, in the above street. A gentleman named Bowen, proved that deceased died on Monday evening, shortly after having taken some medicine, according to the directions on the label of the bottle that contained it. Dr. Cronin, it appears, had prescribed the medicine, and an ingredient supposed to be deleterious (bitter almond water) had been obtained at the shop of Messrs. Bell and Co., chemists, of Oxford-street. Wakley stated that the post mortem examination had not, yet been completed, and in the absence of that requisite evidence he would adjourn the inquest to Friday (this day.) Add urnod seem dingly.
