POST -OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY for 18 47•--MARCH EDlTlON.—Corrected in the Parliamentary an d Postal di v i s i ons to the latest period. To how recent a date tit* iteration s have been brought down may be judged from the fact that be Changes consequent on the demise of the late Duke cf Northum tladd have been introduced in their proper order in the Parlismen wiT division of the work. MORNING CHRONICLE, Nov 20, 1846. ~.i7at,lthe ['rowers of expansion exhibited by this most useful annual L' a te appear real unlimited. Publish° i during a series of forty - Years, in a metropolis whose dwellings increase in number by " Yearly average of some fourteen thousand, and whose commerce tx ° a nds instill larger measure, the "Post-office Directory" has be- I'vtee enormously enhanced in bu'll, as also in the complicated v ariety of its i n di spensa b le contents. Th e a d m i ra bl e s uccess with ch thoreally enormous difficulties of his task have been overcome _ tiY; t he indefatigable publi s h e r h as been proved by the experience i nianY Years ; and we need say little more than that the pre sent osam s alethe eresents the same tokens as its predecessors, of intel igent and ingenuity of arrangement in packing into reasonable ; e 7Pases and producing in lucid order its millions of facts and ...._.erenee. Within two thousand pages every man may learn he ought to know about every one of his co-dwellers in great metropolis, their businesses, as we'l as everything neces • Sar7 to fa dlit.lie him in his own. The very rapid extension of our Vital Y sYstens, and the new postal arrangements with some conti the ~,",;t r itess have rendered necessary some extensive add i t i o ns to g ro ';',"tolig appropriated to Conveyance and the Post - off ice.

MORNING ADVERTISER, Nov. 18, 1846. 1, 116 "Post-office London Directory, 1847," is just delivered. kgh is apparently limited to London, it is in reality a national None of the leading towns sac well he without it ; it must "c an essential to every counting-house in the kingdom, as well as to ljbrY Place of business iv and about the metropolis. It is an ins-alit e work of its kind; and the extent and minuteness of its useful de tells are truly wondetful. Being prepared " under the immediate and patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General," the amplest and eornpletest means were, of coarse, at the command of the pro wietor, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy of the voluminous and crowded contents of the bulky work. The present is the forty ....eighth annual publieation. Few commercial and trading men can ✓ le require particular description of the reall. important and useful s afortnation, to almost every party in any sort of business, occupying the two thousand closely but clearly printed octave pages of this Di teeters.. Preceded by an admirable and perspicuous Map of London, )repared expressly, it is declared, thar the work, by Mr. It. R. Davies, there are divisions comprising, among other information, •• Official," "Street," " Commercial," "Trades," " Law," " Court," " Portia inenesros. •• Postal,' " City," " Conveyanee," "Bankln;," and many Abet Directories. The hope is expressed is the preface that this forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office London Directory" may be found "in all respects to equal the beet of its predecessors?' From very consider table examination of the marvellously full and varied contents and Information on matters which it must be so difliculit, this unassuming borius,and expensive to collect, we hesitate not to say, that 'Wish is liberally realised. It not only equals the best of its prede. cowers, but in several particulars it surpasses all its predecessors. The information is not only fuller in many respects, but there are Several important alterations and addition., largely adding to the usefulness of the book. It is intimated, and truly, that although all t °_,nilfistition has disappeared , the p resent volume is conspicuous proof ~ ' l 4S__, there has been no relaxat i o n in the multifarious labours to per ,e,_ the extraordinary work. In s p eakin g of p ast success, it is i<• w...., - " e enved that it has been, "even In a pecuniary point of view, bone. tO the public, is proved by the fact that important improve -1,,57:11 find additions are annually made without any increase of "—a result that, it is declared, " could not have bout the • ue, bad the public patronage been divided." With reference h the price, we certainly must acknowledge that it is wonderful w it can be profitable to provide 'itch varied materials " -- and materials constantly changing and requiring so much and mach ceaseless labour and cost to procure, and then to classify. Nothing but a tremendous sale could make the speculation answer. Among the important alterations will be found those introduced into the Foetal" Directory. It is, indeed, singularly full, useful, and complete ; and must vouch increase the daily, it might be more truly 'renounced its hourly value, particularly to the merchant, the - trader, 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 • 4 German States, Hamburg, Manover, Lubeck, Meeklenburgh, Olden burgh, Poland, Prussia, Saxony, Sweden and Norway, Wurtemburg, dtc Ikc. Sec., 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 circalatiou, Prior to the commencement of the year for which it is designed. The boldness merits of the work are of the highest order, and render it, * f its kind, we imagine, a publication unexampled in the world for 41 Completeness, fulness, and usefulnens. SUN, Nov. 18,1846. . The present is the forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post - office 'London Directory," anti a truly marvellous effort of compilation it is. The " Post-OffiCe Directory" has been for some years under Lillemanagement of Mr. Kelly. Until he beca me the mana g er of work, there were divers other Directories in the field. They eve, . however, all disappeared , a nd the " Post-office Directory" the rules alone. This astonishing success , however , has not had 1` effect of making the proprietor of this gigantic work care l ess. that is too thorough a man of business not to be p erfectl y aware ufat the fruits of hissuccess can only be reaped by a continuance 'ef the same untiring energy by which the su ccess was in the first inst ance.s achieved, and accordingly we find that the " Post-office Di rectory" for 1847, is even more highly finished in all its elaborate a ngements than any former ed ition of the book. The extent and iTnuteneets ef the details furnished, render the work indispensable 611,1 7 commercial and mercantile establishment. So admirably, i t 14 1 :2!ever, is this multifarious information digested and arranged, that " - ` •e is not the slightest difficulty experienced in referring to the Ur ,tieftlar page required to furnish the information—a marvellous " 'ranee of clearness of arrangement i n a 31 ork consisting of upwards Vero thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pages. This ee. reet orY is certainly the most complete work of the sort ever se,red to the public. Of not only the usefulness, but the indispen -8:44 necessity of such a work, no man o f business can for a moment lb: t tian a doubt ; and consiSering the completeness and fulness. of i nformation furnished, and the enormous outlay of time and o I ZPlial that must have been made in order to acquire and digest the nrination, the very reasonable price at which the work is published r eallY Wonderful. GLOBE, Nov. 21, 1846. Xellyts invaluable work, the " Post-olllce Directory," has just it r o n t its , appearance fir the ensuing year. The vast mass of infor ,,b-Z°u which this book contains, makes it not only desirable but I,,, di telY necessary as a part of the Vilest furniture of every man of 4, - " s t h"""en ; and scarcely less necessary, indeed, for every one else, Td localitiesconcerning of the great ythin metro g pol n is.

Every description of information has been corrected to clefts; ---t p c uible period, and that information is arranged with a ~„,_•leia and simplicity which must have involved great activity of - '" gr uu and exertion of body. Sewed with the book is an excellently 7 1 , uarbved 1 -map of London, mere extended and accurate as to the ere s than any map we have seen ; and to make it as complete a Directory"cc as possible, an almanac is introduced.

We find in this volume many in tr,tin.teals of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively g , show the intelligence and care exercised over every depart "' I t may be mentioned, that by the employment of private agents, the changes of residence are now brought down te a later Period than formerly, and the value of the " Directory" is cense cltlently enhanced. We have before spoken of it as iadisponsa ble to the ~P r°P er management of business. Its authority is now so univer -a..Y established, both at the Post-office and throughout the metro- Pelts, that any further recommendation of it is superfluous. JOHN BULL, Nov. 28, 1846 . This annual leviathan to already completed and published ; but a Proof that the r a pidi ty w ith which it must have passed through e Press has not' operated against its carena accuracy, we may !Petition that the changes rendered iteceesary by the very recent de mise of Mr. Stewart, M.P. for Retifrewshlre, are duly attended a o „ (8t a Pages 1669 and 1676). We have so frequently expressed our i P P ro bation of this most va l ua bl e w ork, that we hardly know how ° vary our commendation. It contains everything that can pos- M bi, be required in a directory—so full, so complete, so compre hensive are all it s d e t a il s. And whets to this we add the extreme acc uracy which pervades every department, we know not what else oe said in its praise. The machinery by which such volu iutt ous information is obtained, arranged, and superintended, so a s n av oid errors, must o i i tse lf b e among t h e " curios ities" of modern literature. ATLAS, Nov. 28, 1846. A book of this kind. brought out even without much pretension, would be indispensable to every gentleman's library, every merchant's 'Tainting-house., and every trader's shop. But edited as this is, with :5e utmost care—its materials being collected through the most au thentic channels, and embracing in its range every head of personal and c ommercial intelligence essential to the compl e t eness o f suc h a work, we cannot suppose that any house, publi: or private, which ." tanlafford a IY:A of reference, will to without this co m p en di ous l a ll l4. The arrangement is admirable. You can fi n d any name Yon want in a moment.

Miss Burdett Coutts—Certainly not. Nor am I indebted to him in any way. Sir. F. THESIGER (handing to Miss Coutts the doggrel verses upon which the defendant rested his authority to Miss ir r s . B. Dunn—Did rlu,rudtei tolsu (addressingo e b v je e c r t rteocetihvi herself el t ri i n v e o el letters fotfo etxh ae draw on the bank)—Did von ever write that ? Miss Bur t dett Coutts—l did not. never wrote any letter to this person. which these are copies? protest against your putting in copies of letters. Mr. Dunn—l want to show that Miss Coutts received mjfuroinrniyat)ilone. re ceived let ters from me, of which these are copies. a great many letters from this person. Mr. Dunn—Did you receive two letters from me, when you were staying at the Queen's .Hotel, Harrogate? Miss Bur dett Coutts—l received two letters from a stranger, signed with this person's name. Mr. Dunn—What did you do with them? Miss Burdett Coutts—l tore them up, and threw them away amongst other waste paper.—(Great laughter.) Mr. Dunn—Did you make any communication to Mr. Marjoribanks about me ? Miss Burdett Coutts—l consulted him as a friend, and re quested him to rid me from the annoyance I was under from this person's conduct. Lord DENMAN—How do you mean to apply this evidence? Mr. Dunn—l mean to show that the two letters to which I have referred were in existence when I wrote to Mr. Mar joribauks, requesting that they might be returned, and that Miss Coutts refused to give them up. If I prove that, do I not raise the question that I had a right to presume they were retained from regard to the writer?—(Great laughter.) I may be laughed at by the Court, but I think this is a just assumption. Lord DENMAN—I don't see how what took place at Harro gate can apply to this case. Mr. Dunn (to the witness)—Will you have any objection to write the authority for me that I have shown you?—(Loud laughter, which lasted for some time, and at the close of which Mr. Dunn most composedly repeated his request, to the great amazement of Miss Coutts and every one who heard him.) Sir F. THEElGErt—Really this is a most novel request. Mr. Dunn—l only wish the lady to do so for the satisfac tion of the jury relative to her handwriting. Miss Burdett Coutts—l have no objection to do so, if the -jury or his Lordship wish it. The jury unanimously replied—No, no. Sir 'f RESIGER—I am your counsel, Miss Coutts, and I must beg )ou will not do so. Mr. Dunn—What did you do with the letters you received from me? Miss Burdett Coutts—l sent them all to my solicitor; he had general instructions to take the necessary steps to rid me of the annoyance which I was receiving from this per son. I did not read all the letters which I received from this person; for, when I ascertained them to be from him, I forwarded them to Mr. Humphreys, unopened : Mr. Dunn repeated several times the following question : Did you tell Mr. Humphreys to repudiate the authority which I said I had received from you to draw on your bank? —I cannot say that I did. I repeat, that I gave him general instructions to take the necessary steps. Mr. Dunn—Don't you think now, as a lady, that my let ter to Mr. Marjoribanks was one that required an answer? Sir F. THESIGEE—That depends very much upon the per son who wrote it.—(Laughter.) Mr. Dunn—l think you bad better get into the witness box at once, Sir Frederick.—(Afuch laughter.) . [To the witness]—How long did you wait before giving Mr. Humphreys instructions to prosecute me? Miss Burdett Coutts—l gave no instructions respecting an indictment; my instructions were general. Mr. Dunn then asked Miss Coutts her opinion as to the handwriting of several persons in letters which he produced; and among these was one from her late father, Sir Francis Burdett, the handwriting of which he asked her to speak to. At this last question, which was put by the defendant in the most unfeeling manner, and amidst the disgust of the whole court, Miss Coutts became much agitated, and, after struggling for a minute or two to conceal her emotion, drew down her veil to conceal her tears. Lord DEN MAN turned with great indignation of manner towards the defendant, and said to him, " Your conduct, Sir, is extremely improper." Mr. Dunn thereupon gave up his cross-examination, and sat down. Edward Marjoribanks was then called, and said—l am one of the partners in Coutts's bank. I received a letter by the post from Mr. Dunn on the 13th of January, 1846, stating that he had authority from Miss Coutts to draw on the bank for such a sum as should be a compensation to him for the injuries he had received from her. Mr. Dunn afterwards called on me. He produced several papers. I said Miss Coutts's order was the paper alone I wished to see. He then produced some doggrel lines. I expressed some surprise he should produce such a document, but said I could assure him it was not Miss Coutts's handwriting, and I called in Mr., Robinson, who stated the same fact. On the 20th of March 1846, another letter came from Mr. Dunn, stating that he should place the matter under the bankrupt laws, and asking Miss Coutts's address. Mr. Dunn wished to put in a letter, dated in 1838, Urging that if it. led to show that lie had been deluded, he had a right to put it in. Lord DENMAN considered it could not be read. Mr. Dunn—What do you do if forged cheques are ptef sented. Witness—l can tell you what we do not do ; `rove do. It - "chi& alma was no authority, I should ask the party to leave Vans as soon as he could. I should not give him into custody. Mr. Dunn was putting a great many irrelevant questions, when , 1 ., ~._ . .. 3..., o i , n:„....., _ ~..,, ~,___. ,i , -,..--,,,..*4,4, Rte. , ...,,_.,_.. , Lord PENMAN told him he was wasting a great deal of time in putting questions which had nothing to do with the matter. Witness—l recollect seeing you a second time, when Sir Edmond Antrobus was present. I never saw your bill. Mr. Robinson, one of the clerks in Cuutts's bank, said—l was present when the defendant had the conversation with Mr. Marjoribanks. I told him the lines were not in Miss Coutts'a handwriting. Cross-examined—l do not think you said that you be lieved the authority to be genuine, and that you should act upon it. Miss. Coutts has not a private clerk in the bank. Sir Edmond Antrobus—l saw Mr. Dunn when he came with an order for money. He produced a draft for 100,0001., drawn by himself on the account of Miss Coutts, and which was as follows : " London, March 4, 1846. " Gcntlemen,--Pay myself, or order, the sum of one hun dred thousand pounds. " RICHARD DUNN, " By the authority of Miss Coutts. " Messrs. Coutts and Co., 59, Strand." I told him we had no authority. He then produced some lines, which I told him were not in the handwriting of Miss Ccutts, and therefore could be no authority. Mr. Ingleback confirmed what I bad stated. _ Cross-examined—This is not the order you presented to us. Mr. Dunn—By the living God I had no other. Witness—The draft you presented was on a small strip of paper, and not, as this is, on a sheet of letter-paper. I did not say, " Get Miss Coutts's cheque and we will pay it." Miss Coutts has no private clerk in the bank. If you had signed Miss Coutts's name we should have pro ceeded against you. You ought to know best whether it is a fraud to sign by the authority of another. I suppose en deavouring to obtain money by false pretences is a crime. Mr. Dunn—Why did you not send me to Bow-street? Witness—Because we were too lenient with you. Edward Ingleback—l am a clerk in the bank. The de fendant asked me if I attended to Miss Coutts's business. 1 asked him what it was about. He said he bad a draft to present for payment. Knowing him, I took him into a private room, and he presented a draft for 100,000/. I took it to Sir Edmond Antrobus, who told him that was no authority to pay money upon. The defendant said he had an authority, and produced something," and the defendant was told that it was not in the writing of Miss Coutts. A little altercation took place, and Mr. Marjoribanks came into the room and told him he had had an answer to his applica tion, and desired him to leave the house. Cross-examined—This certainly is not the draft you pro duced at that time. It was th© same in substance; bat it is not on the same paper. You told him something to the effect that you wished to take further proceedings upon it. You pressed Sir Edmond Antrobus to mark the dishonour on the face of the bill, but he refused to do so. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. Dunn then addressed the jury—They had been told that he was placed in a most painful position; he admitted, to the fullest extent, most of the observations the Learned Counsel had made, and he thanked him for not denying to him what God Almighty had given him—a sound intelli gence. Whatever he had done, he was; ready to stand or fall by it, pleading no excuse, either from the want of suffi ciency of judgment or of intellect. If he could have had his choice he should hare been defended by some learned counsel, whose calm discretion would have been exerted in this pain ful task, but it was unnecessary for him to tell them the cir cumstances that compelled him to defend himself before the God whom he called to witness his oath, and before His de puty, the judge who now presided, and before the jury, to vindicate and justify, to the best of bis belief, the step that he had taken. They had now heard the evidence in support of the prosecution , and to constitute perjury the oath must be fake to the knowledge of the party making it; it must be done with a fraudulent and wicked intention—it was only upon their being satisfied, not merely that the docu ment was not the lady's handwriting, but that he knew it to be a fabricated instrument, that they could come to the con clusion that he was guilty of the crime laid to his charge. If a man made a mistake it was not perjury. He might have mistaken the handwriting of the authority, and mistakes even of greater matters had occurred, and would occur to the end of time, between menofassound an j d udg it m w en i t s as sig e n v e e d r sat upon that bench.

Before Lord DE MAN and a Scecial Jury, at Guidhall.) THE QUEEN V. DUNN. Sir Frederick Thesiger, Mr. Clarkson, and Mr. Hawkins appeared fcr Miss Burdett Coutts, the prosecutrix in this case ; and Mr. Dunn, a quondam, Irish barrister, defended himself. The case, with the character of which the public are fami liar, attracted to the court, which was densely crowded throughout the proceedings, an unusual concourse of spec tators. Expectation was on the tiptoe to see Mr. Dunn brought face to face with the rich heiress whom he has so long persecuted by Lis addresses, and to hear what he had to say in justification of the extraordinary case made out against him. The Court commenced its sitting at half-past nine o'clock, and at that hour Mr. Dunn, whOse appearance, though decidedly Hibernian, is not unprepossessing, took his seat within the bar, at one end of the space allotted to Queen's counsel. He is a man between forty and fity years of age, his hair rather grey, about the middle height, well dressed, with a gentlemanly bearing and an intelligent expression. His manner throughout the proceedings was confident and unabashed, and while at some moments he became greatly excited in the conduct of his case, he never appeared to lose the self-possession which a firm re- liance on the merits of one's cause is generally supposed to Inspire. Miss Burdett Coutts was present in court during the whole proceedings. She sat beside Lord Denman on the bench, and was accompanied by Mrs. 0. Cave and Lord Sandon. Throughout the sitting she preserved a dignified composure of manner, which gained for her general sympathy, as all felt how deeply her feelings must have been wounded by the detai4 of this extraordinary and yet ridiculous trial. Mr. iIAWKINS opened the pleadings by stating that this was an indictment for wilful and corrupt perjury, assigned On an affidavit sworn by the defendant in the Court of Bank r4tcy, on the 31st of March, 1846. The defendant had pleaded Not Guilty, and upon that plea issue was joined. Sir FamDIERICK THESIGER then stated the case to the jury. He said that, considering the serious nature of the charge against the defendant, and the consequences that must inevitably follow upon conviction, he desired as far as possible to abstain from introducing any topics which might seem to be irrelevant, or calculated to prejudice the defendant. But the case itself was one of so peculiar and extraordinary a nature, and the grounds on which the defendant had at tempted, and probably would again attempt, to justify his con duct were so strange, that he should necessarily require to make a short preliminary explanation. The perjury was charged to have been committed in an affidavit filed by the defendant in the Court of Bankruptcy, for the purpose of prosecuting a fiat against the prosecutrix, Miss Burdett Coutts; and in order to justify the statement which was made in the affi davit, that Miss Burdett Coutts was indebted to him, the de fendant alleged that he had from he an authority to draw upon the banking-house of Messrs. Coutts and Co., for a sum of money which should be a com pensation for certain injuries which he supposed he had received at Miss Coutts's hands. It would be absolutely necessary, therefore, in order to refute the ab d notion which was to be made the ground of defence, that he should state a few facts, nearly all of which would be established under the handwriting of the defendant. They were aware that the prosccutrix (Miss Burdett Coutts) was the daughter of the late Sir Francis Burdett, and the grand daughter of Mr. Coutts; that she derived her name and con siderable property from her grandfather, and that she repre sented the interest which he had in the banking concern. The defendant (Mr. Dunn) was an Irish barrister. but had not been in practice for a number of years. He had been resident in this country, and was a person not in very affluent circumstances. For a long series of years he had been pursuing a course of conduct towards Miss Coutts of the most offensive and annoying description. He had pur sued her from place to place, persecuted her with letters of a most extraordinary character, sometimes breathing the most ardent and passionate affection, at others pretend ing he was entitled to institute legal proceedings against her for some imaginary wrong, or the breach of some supposed engagement, and by persevering in this conduct he had caused her to lead a life of continued anxiety and apprehension. During the whole of this trying period she had been prudently and cautiously acting under the advice of friends, aided by professional as sistance. She had been compelled, on more than one occasion, to resort to the law for protection, and under the proceedings so instituted, Mr. Dunn had occasionally been imprisoned for want of sureties to keep the peace towards the lady. There bad been other proceedings in the courts of law, in which, unfortunately, Miss Coutts's name had been dragged before the public in connexion with that of Mr. Dunn, and which had, unhappily, given to this case a most painful notoriety. That the object of the defendant had been to extort money he thought they could have no doubt. He seemed to have flattered himself that Miss Burdett Coutts might be disposed to make no inconsiderable sacrifices to rid herself of his im- portunities, which had actually rendered her life miserable. Taking that as their guide to the conduct of the defendant, he thought it would go far to explain to them his last daring effort, far beyond anything which he had ever previously attempted, which had brought him within the range of the Criminal Courts, and made him subject to the present in dictment. His attack commenced by letters on the 15th of January, 1846 ; one to Mr Marjoribanks, a partner in Messrs. Coutts's bank, and the other to the prosecutrix herself. The letter to Mr. Marjoribanks was as follows . "I deem it my duty to inform you that I have received an authority from your partner, Miss Coutts, to draw upon your bank for compensation for the injuries, &c., she has inflicted tsioanatte.' Previously to my doing so it is only right to show '4l:s 0 auththit,A.: sult,,beapt W4lOl Reuel form, although oty — s.rt - 1003,-, •o. 00.0. • to my wish to act with unkindness. I don't wish to incon venience you, or to draw the sum out of the bank at present. The authority is good or bad. I have tested it in every way in my power, and I believe it to be genuine; and I shall act on it as such, affording you every reasonable opportunity of satisfying yourself. I shall inform Miss Coutts of my inten tion to take this step. I purpose to call to-morrow after noon, so as to give you time to communicate the contents of this etter to her." The defendant then wrote the following letter to Miss Coutts : " It is my intention to call at your bank to-morrow, to test your sincerity and liberality, as I have before informed you. apprised Bin Marjoribanks of this my intention by a letter of the same date as this. It is my wish to act with strict honour to you, as I have heretofore endeavoured to do: It is my wish to leave the sum in your bank for the present, and it was my wish to solicit the honour of an interview with you, that we might possibly come to some understanding, to remove the bitterness of the past and the future, and if you think I can contribute to your happiness, I shall be yours. If you cannot have me, the sum I draw shall be in full of all demands. If you ever wish to have the protection of a man's arm, send for the man who writes this, and if any man's arm can protect you, mine is at your command." The defendant did not call on the following day, but on the day after Jan. 15) he presented himself at the banking house, and was introduced into a private room, where he saw Mr. Marjoribanks, and during the interview between them a clerk went into the room. Mr. Dunn endeavoured to get Mr. Marjoribanks into conversation, which that gentleman declined. He then produced as his authority from Miss Coutts a copy of doggrel verses. Mr. blarjoribanks imme diately denied it to be in Miss Coutts's writing, and the clerk said the same. On the 23d of January he wrote again to the prosecutrix : " I think it right to inform you that I called upon Mr. Biaijoribanks, who informed me that you have not given any authority to pay me any sum of money; but this will not alter the legal effect of your order, although it may the moral ; and putting me to prove your handwriting will but enlighten the eyes of the community." Ile jury would observe the cautious steps by which the de fendant proceeded. He began by intimating to the bank that he had authority to draw upon it, which authority he must have received from Miss Burdett Coutts, and yet he wrote to her, warning her that he was about to make the application to the bank, and giving her an opportunity of stepping forward and preventing any publicity which might arise by making some sacrifice of money to him ; and before he took the next step he wrote a letter couched in threaten ing language, evidenly endeavouring to act upon her fears, and induce her to prevent the step being taken which had ultimately led to this prosecution. No notice was taken of this letter, and he then wrote the following letter to Messrs. Coutts : " Gentlemen,—lt will be necessary for me to present my bill to• morrow at your bank, for payment of the sum I deem, under the circumstances, compensation for the injuries in flicted on me by Miss Coutts. I shall do so on the authority of that lady, shown to Mr. Marjoribanks by me. if my bill be paid it will release your partner from all legal and moral obligations to me, and 1 shall be ready to sign any document to that effect. If not paid I shall adopt the most summary proceedings to protect myself from any further outrages I am daily receiving and have been long subjected to. Ido not intend to draw the amount out of your bank if you think proper to allow it to remain. Contrasting the injuries I have received, and my consequent position, with the position of your partner, and her immense wealth, I shall draw for one year's income, which I understand to be 100,000/. lam content to receive the amount of one year's income, be it less, if I am paid the amount, if it be more." After this letter the defendant again appeared at the bank, and saw Sir Edmond Autrobus, to whom he presented his draught for 100,0001. He was asked by Sir Edmond to show his authority, and ne produced the same paper he had exhi bited before to Mr. Majoribanks. He was again told that it was not the writing of Miss Coutts, so that there were, there fore, four persons who Lad given him that assurance. On the 19th of March the defendant wrote this letter to Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor for Miss Coutts : " In consequence of my bill, drawn on Messrs. Coutts, pur suant to authority given me by your client, not having been honoured, I am proceeding under the bankruptcy law to en force payment of it. It is necessary the summons to pay should be served on your cli ent, who am informed has lett her residence, for ;71hatplaceIcannotif a I vslceeartaeint.he summons Under the circumstances, you undertake , with you, that it should be attended to ? I shall call to morrow for the answer." : s — terday obliges me to answer The , answer ,lr ou rw these tth m terms eye did that Miss Coutts owes you nothing, never it by saying and never gave or sent you any authority to draw any lett w er as le in ft g o ' r make any demand upon her or upon any o business upon which you can desire one else.

This with an oath object, he wrote to the bank hold any conversation with you. the 20th of al arch, 1846 : ing-house on es in which I am placed by your partner, " The circumstances unavoidable'me to seek e it absolutely application not advancing his Idiss Coutts, make ofmy demand against her by the most to obtain p s to bring my demand within the Bank the necessary: steps p bu e t on sending to Bliss Coutt's residence, I effectual remedy the law points out.

Coutts information, tnat justice may b and the subject to which it relates, or any subject they beg to decline any interference or correspondence w ith him on whatever." Now, it appeared that at that time Mr. Dunn had made pre paration for proceeding against Miss Coutts under the bank ruptcy law, for a letter was directed by him to Stratton street, which contained a demand in these terms:— "To Miss Angela Burdett Coutts, of No. 1, Stratton street, Piccadilly, and of 59, Strand, both in the city of West minster.—The following are the particulars of the demand of the undersigned Richard Dunn, barrister-at-law, of No. 8, Upper Ranelagh-street, in the said city of Westminster, against you, the said Angela Burdett Coutts, amounting to the sum of 100,0001—(Loud and continued laughter)—being the amount of a certain bill drawn by me on the bank of Coutts and Co., of which you are a partner, and so drawn by me by virtue of your authority, given to me for that purpose, and which said bill you directed me to draw , as c om pe n sa ti o n ' tor divers injuries done and inflicted on me by you, and which said bill was refused payment at your said bank, al though you promised that the same should be duly paid, and which bill is still unpaid. Take notice that 1, the said Richard Dunn, hereby require immediate payment of the said sum of 100,000/. Dated this 10th day of March, 1846. "RICHARD DUNN, Barrister-at-Law." This demand was dated nine days before the date of the letter addressed to Mr. Humphreys. Of course, the demand was treated with utter contempt, and then the defendant wickedly, deliberately, and knowingly made the following false affidavit in the Court of Bankruptcy : "Richard Dunn maketh oath and saith, that A. B. Coutts is justly and truly indebted to this deponent, Richard Dunn, in the sum of 100,0001. by virtue of a certain bill drawn by this deponent on the bank of Messrs. Coutts and Co., by the especial authority in writing given by the said A. B. Coutts to this deponent, which was expressly given by her as compensation for divers injuries and imprisonments inflicted, and for which injuries this deponent had commenced legal proceedings against the said A. B. Coutts, and which sum she promised in writing should be duly paid ; but which said bill, although duly presented, was not paid or honoured, and which said bill remains wholly due and owing to this de ponent; and this deponent further saith that the said A. B. Coutts is a partner in the banking-house of Coutts and Co., and is a trader within the statute, as this deponent verily believes." The Learned Counsel here commented at - some length upon the facts which he had passed in review, contending that they made out the charge of perjury upon which the defend ant, was indicted. The defendant bad made another affidavit for the purpose of removing the trial from the Old Bailey into this Court, and in that affidavit he set forth the supposed authority which was given by Miss Burdett Coutts, and which was in these words ; " Oh, Mr. D., You've spoilt all our fun By your very imprudent advances; Why didn't you meet Me, except in the street — Why not meet me at routs or at dances? " You called me fair girl !' Till you made my head twirl, So that all the fools thought I was silly; At the window I stood, With my tears in a flood — You were posted just in Piccadilly. " Whin to Harrogate sweet Papa beats a retreat, To take spa water supersulphureous, I could hear your heart thump As we stood near the pump, While you bolted that stuff so injurious. " Oh ! how, my dear pet, Can I ever forget That mixture of love and aversion ; Of love for your lass, And disgust for your glass, Just like a teetotal conversion? " When poor papa's gout Put us all to the rout, And drove us to Norwood hotel, Your flame growing stronger, You couldn't wait longer, So posted away there as well. " Our servants to cool Your heat in the pool, And cure you of love so mysterious, Immersed you therein, Nearly up to the chin ; What a scene both of comic and serious ? "But such are the antics That come from romantics, When once they lay hold of the brain, That you term it Baptizing My lover,' and prizing My dower as much as love's chains. " My pretensions grew grander, 'Till stern Alexander, By a capias ad sat. capiendum, Put the lock on your love, And caged my sweet dove, With his billings and cooings, to end 'em. " But at last I'm relenting, My jewel, repenting Of all that you have suffered for me ; Nay, I'm even grown tender, Disposed to turn lender Of cash, your sweet person to free. " Send to Coutts's your bill — There are lots in the till— I'll give the clerk orders to do it, Then get your discharge, Your dear body enlarge, Al id ; Stratton-street do let me view it. . by the by, love, Pay affection to prove, - Fo - 'our long cruel in=ition ranna_ _an As I've plenty . of tin); To flake you a fair compensation. ~ 4 " A. B. C." Bursts of laughter followed the reading of each stanza in this curious production, in the last two verses of which the supposed authority to draw on Messrs. Coutts was con veyed.) The Learned Counsel read the affidavit, which was a long document, and contained several very important allega tions. It set forth that the defendant had been imprisoned three times on charges by Miss Burdett Coutts; that she was in fear of bodily harm, nay, her life, from the defendant, whilst all the time she was, by letters shown by him to a gentleman of respectability and character, pretending that she felt an honourable esteem and affection for the defendant. It stated that the letters he received from Miss Burdett Coutts purported to be answers to his letters ; that he had compared the handwriting with that of Miss Burdett Coutts on record in the Crown office of the Court, in the presence of different officers and clerks, several of whom expressed their opinions on the similarity of the handwriting. The affidavit also set forth that two persons had compared the letters received by him with Miss Coutts's writing, which they had seen her write, and offered to speak to their genuineness in a court of justice. It stated that the de fendant did not press the case in the Court of Bankruptcy front motives of delicacy; that he had refused the sums of 10,0001. and 15,000/. offered as compensation for his in juries, by persons authorised to do so; that he had lost, in consequence of Miss Coutts'a persecutions, a property of nearly 5001, per annum, besides his profession and its emo luments for eight years. On the ridiculous terms of the alleged authority to draw, Sir Frederick Thesiger con tended that the fabrication and uttering of a formal solemn authority to draw might have been considered by the defendant as placing him in considerable jeopardy; whereas, if he framed and used a document in absurd doggrel verses, such as that upon which he relied, he would protect him self from all serious consequences. The ridiculous cha racter of the authority was one of the strongest causes which induced him (Sir Frederick Thesiger) to think that it was part of a system ingeniously contrived by the de fendant to act upon Miss Burdett Coutts's fears of a ludi crous exposure, and to extort money thereby, at the same time that he sheltered himself from punishment. He was quite aware that there were many parts of the details into which he had entered which were calculated to excite a feeling of ridicule, and there might be some portion of the conduct of the defendant which might lead to the suspicion that they were the effusions of a disordered mind. If the de fendant was a person in that unhappy situation—if he was not accountable for his acts, he would be an object for com passion, not for prosecution—ho would be a subject for re straint, not for punishment. But he (Sir F. Thesiger) had never heard suggested, in the course of the whole proceedings which had unhappily taken place in consequence of the de fendant's conduct, that he was a person in such a state of mind as not to be responsible for his acts ; and, unless there was anything either in the circumstances of the case itself, or in any of the evidence which might be addressed to them that day to lead the minds of the jury to that conclusion, they would abandon it. He thought he had stated enough to lead their minds to the conclusion that Mr. Dunn, at the time he swore his affidavit before the Commissioners of Bankruptcy, was aware of its being false, and, if that were so, he apprehended the only course open for the jury to pursue was to find him guilty of the perjury charged in the *ndictment. The following evidence was then adduced : Mr. Iron produced the affidavit made by the defendant in the Court of Bankruptcy on the 30th of March, 1846. Mr. Edwards, Usher of the Court of Bankruptcy, stated that he administered the oath to the defendant. He was not certain whether the Court was sitting at the time, but it was the custom to administer the oath when the registrar was there. Mr. J. F. Miller, the registrar of the Court of Bank ruptcy, stated that the affidavit of the 30th of March was sworn before him, on the authority of the sth and 6 th of Victoria, c. 122, 5.67. The Court, he believed, was not sitting at the time. Mr. C. Humphreys, solicitor for the prosecution, stated that the signature to the affidavit was in the handwriting of Mr. Dunn, and also the body of the affidavit. The only means which he had of knowing that it was so was from the letters which he had received from Mr. Dunn. Mr. Dunn—lf . you come to that conclusion from that cir cumstance, would you think it an extraordinary stretch of imagination if Ica to the meconclusion with regard to r other persons ? I Mr me . Humph s re a ys— c I can only answerfo myself. Mr. Bailey, clerk to Mr. Justice Patteson, producel the affidavit on the 29th of June to remove the proceedings into this Court by certiorari ; there was no affidavit filed in an swer to it, although the proceedings were adjourned for three or four days. Mr. Fisher, clerk to Mr. Justice Wightman, stated that he administered the oath on that affidavit to the defendant. Mr. Humphreys being recalled, said that the handwriting in the body of the affidavit produced, and the signature to it, were those of the defendant. (The documents referred to in the opening speech of Sir F. Thesiger were here put in.) Cross-examined by Mr. Dunn—l have been solicitor to Miss Burdett Coutts since 1838, and during that period have been engaged for her in other matters besides the prosecu tions against you. Mr. Dunn—lt has been a very lucrative business for you. Mr. Humphreys.—(Laughter.) _ Pray, how many prosecu tions have you had against me? Mr. Humphreys —I think four. The first was at Harrogate, upon which you were sent to York Castle ; the second at Bow-street, before Si r F. hoe, upon which you were imprisoned in Tothill-fields Prison. Mr. Dunn—Well, the third?—(Laughter.) Mr. Humphreys—The third was in Middlesex, and the fourth was that now before the Court ; e upon d. one of these oc casions, before Lord Denman, y ou were discharged. Mr. Dunn—Do you believe his Lordship l would have dis charged me if he thought Mi ss B. Coutts was in danger or bodily harm from me? Mr. Humphreys hesitated. Mr. Dunn—Come, come, Mr. Humphreys, don't be afraid; his Lordship will not b e vexed with you.—(Laughter.)2 LONDON, MONDAY EVENING No. 16,988. requisite official facilities. As a mere compilation, it is probably the most wonderful on record. ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 28, 1846. This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus tains the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" of late years. In the preface the proprietor maintains that the high character of the work is not reerable 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 portien of the work than heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely uncon nected with the Post-office, this being, in great part, the plan of compiling the editions for 1845 and 1846. Nor has the proprietor rested content with his past success, but has introduced many impor tant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its bulk with out any Increase of price. The ' Postal Directory' is especially im proved, and there are numerous changes throughout the volume, to insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the most pains taking minuteness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a very lively effusion, to be seen in another column; and we trust the enterprising proprietor of the " Directory" will find that his labours are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great oommercaal country this is an indispensable volume. RAILWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846. The sew volume of the Post-oitice 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 degree improved. It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. Tie pro duction of a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has placed is the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and indispensable aid in carrying an the business of this vast metropolis, which would indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense if it were net 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 eur anticipatory notice is in any degree exaggerated. HERAPATEPS RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846. The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and improvements noon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which this important, and it is 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, 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 purchsse of the co fight by Its rxesent proprietor, to be conitncoct that the mere eouriezion of the ' Directory' with the Post-office has little, if at all, contributed to its proud high cha racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un wearied toil and application on the part of these engaged in the coin pilationof 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.

This political topic is certainly one Which is very well suited to MOSIell and SON. The Chancellor's Budget appears to possess Many very good hints which pertain to cheap dress ; But the part of the speech which appears to stand chief, Is the grant of " Ten Millions" for yielding relief, This certainly sounds very loud in the Budget, But good is the purpose, and none will begrudge it : Both Scotland and Ireland, two sisters in woe, Will quickly revive with the help we bestow, Much, much of this vast aum of money, no doubt, By the poor of each country will soon be laid ant, Not only in buying provision to eat, But dress for the body, and shoes for the feet ; And here may a treble advantage be wan, By obtaining the garments of MOSES and SON.

Avocs.—At the village of Avoch, in Ross-shire, very determined opposition was made by the fishermen and others of the villagers, upon Friday and Saturday last, to an attempt, by Mr. George More, farmer and corn dealer, to ship some barley. Mr. More having applied for protection in the shipment, Mr. Jardine, the sheriff of the county, accompanied by Mr. Cameron, the sheriff substitute, Mr. Mackenzie, the procurator-fiscal, and some officers, repaired to Avoch upon Friday, and were joined there by r,ir Jas. Mackenzie, Mr. Davidson, of Tulloch, and others. Arrangements had been made for procuring from Fort-George, the aid of acompany of the 76th Regi ment; but the forenoon was so siormythat they could not be brought across the ferry in time to render their ser vices available that day. In their absence the sheriff and his party endeavoured, but in vain, to obtain ac cess to the vessel, which lay at the pier-head to receive the grain. Previously to their arrival, the entrance to the pier had been barricaded by means of boats reversed, and, when they came up, a crowd of from 100 to 200 men and women, old and young, expressed to them, very unequivocally, their resolution to obstruct the grain in its passage to the ship. Proceedings were, in coipe- Veastes 4*470--until_ aattirJey ,f9renoon,;,tvllen,_ at,4 tteariilea and"tlielt rrteinis -tzssatpis.;e.-4 4 -cled.rfs-÷ , :l u a 1 sixty men and two officers frost the Fort. The villagers had, in the meantime, loosened the vessel from her moorings, and it was not until about two o'clock the state of the tide admitted of her being afloat ; but several of the fishermen entered their boats in the harbour, with the evident design of drawing her away, should she move towar ds the pi ith b One or er. The people were addressed, and reasoned with the Sheriff and others to no p ur p ose. the crowd read aloud the resolutions of a meeting held about a fortnight ago, containing a pledge, subscribed by Mr. More among others, not to export any more grain from the district this season. This was rather an untoward circumstance ; and we doubt whether the Sheriff, had he known it earlier, would have felt himself bound to comply with the requisition for protection. All parties being now on the ground, however, it was too late to retrace their steps, and explanations a nd argu ments have failed to induce the people to retire, the so w l diers were ordered to secure the command of the pier— the boats lying across, the access to hich were literally covered with women—and the Sheriff read the Riot Act. The people continued determined to resist, saying they might as well die then as starve for want of food ; but as the preparations for a conflict approached maturity, Mr. More c onsulted to his friends, and came forward and declar ed that, " pr vent bloodshed," he had resolved to abandon the intendeon d shipment, and to retain the grain i n the countrye young which the people cheered and chaired him. Thre men, considered to have been active in the riot, wfre ap-_ prehended on the spot, and sent away to the prisen .ha o s f Dingwall under a military escort, and so the affair ended for the present. Farmers and corn-defeat.in Ross-shire complain that they are subjected to g .m -coavenience by suspension of shipments of grain, on to the non-arrival of the 27th regiment, which has been expected in Fort George for the last three weeks—theen whole disposable force in the garrison having no, b h e dispatched to Caithness, to quell the food riots in t at county. —lnverness Courier. D TNRATRE.— HENRY RUSSELL AT THE ST Few of our native vocalists and compos er s hav e have better reached greater popularity than Mr. Henry Busse on and so deserved it. We attribute this success to a t vcaormieptasso! causes. Mr. Russell has a very fine voice, of His manner, too, is exceedingly manageable, that it ethosgareble alike of express ing the depths of passion and of distinguished for its distinguished for its utter wanPtofi3pretension. His style, both as a singer and a composer, t tme, purity and has . After a provincial campaign of conside rable dura tion, he has come back to L oudon for a shor taken the Strand Theatre for the P small a performer for any pus for r : ho of i his perform ances. That place of amuse ment, whic but private theatricals, is ex actl y the lace who, without any assista nce, underta kes to make wo hours pass so very pleasan tly that t e auditors " t t ake no note of time," and en it is done wonder how the performances could have e xtended to such a length. Be sides, la " the size of the Strand Theatre Pdie ec r in r lvastness, y adapts it f an or d the voice. There " h ea ring the varying intonations and d o inflections of that magnificent organ—the human voice--can there be heard with satin- faction. The theatre has been crowded during the week, and Mr. Russell has never been in better voice. The changes from liv ,, ell7 le to !_evere," in bis songs and " from grave to gays anecdotes is very pleasant. T .

It may be Mr. Russell' s p r id e , th at h e, especially, merits to be called " The Musician for the People." Through the medium of his art, he has constantly aimed at the amelioration of the poorer classes. He has made the truth plead for them,—he; has familiarised the wealthy, the Aristocracy, and the proud, with the sufferings and wrongs of the humble and lowly. His is a high mission, and he f u lfils it worthily . We may add that a ne w system has been introduced by Mr. Russell at the Strand Theatre. At other places of amusement the attendants expect fees for taking charge of cloaks, bonnets, &c ., but at Mr. Russell' s no suc h payments are p ermitted, while the needful is done quite as effici en tly, and far more courteously, th an b y f ee d b ut ever craving servitors.
