THE POST•OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY

FUR 1857.

The "Directory for the Year 1837" is now pub-
lished. It was always a wonderful work; bat every year
has brought some improvement* is its plan, as well as la its
eseestioa. We notice that, in the peanut edition, the
Street directory is furnished with the initial letters denotisg
to which of the ten postal divisions of the metropolis each
street or plane belongs. It has been suggested by te.
Postmaster-Cienersl that these ['Wel letter —for sample,
N.W. for the north-western district--should be geaerally
used In writing the addresser upon all letters w►ich
are to pass through the Post-office ; and, with the aid of the
Directory, no °Renard have a mostitat's difficulty le Sadist'
the district within which his letter la iatanded to be dellvned.
Another improvement which has bees asade in this edition
of the Directory is in the Cosarysese department, where
the coaches or omnibuses which run to and from. each Odle
railway stations which are cosatioued will bo &sad duly
stated. The Hats of panocal names, occupations, and real-
deism, which of course grow more numerous every year,
have been eerreeud and completed with laudable care, end
chants which have attuned wither the last Ave weeks are
aeurately reeteded. hews imamate of this, we may observe
that the same of W. J. Rebus, who wu apprehended en
the 10th of October, has already been erased from those
parts of the Directory la which It formerly appeared.

THE BISHOP OP EXIT= AND THZ DENNISON
COSTILOTAIMT.—Ici the course of reply to various addresses,
the Bishop of Reeler tells the clingy of his diocese, aot to
arra too much authority to the judgment in the Denier
nee. e* If should wirer the direr of flaliebnry,
larder, the very same quarrel, the Neap of that diocese
would sot be bound even to notice the judgment at Bath,
Nay, in the very same diocese, if a clergymen, cot ht kilo' a
be oldies of which the bishop is patrols, were articled @groat
for not enabeteislog the same doctrines in the ipastsstelosisrbs
of Archdeacon Deuisoo,or even if Archdeacon Denier, being
deprived of the benefices which he now holds by the Bath
judgment, should be instituted to a benefice oa the pre-'
rotation of the crows or say other patron, and should
again pat forth the ease doctrines, and be again articled
against by the same Mr. Ditcher, the bishop stars in hi*
Consolorial Court at Wells would not be in the slighter
degree bound by the judgment of the archbishop sitting in
the very erne court, aid trying that very same cause at Bath.
He would no doubt gin all the weight which he might think
due te the reasons on which the B4h judgment is founded
r he would to the reasons on which a jedgmeet in the C.ur:
of Carlisle may be founded; but he would dards according to
hi. own eonvetire. Thus the result might be—nay, pro-
bably would be—that the Rev. George Anthony Denison,
deprived of the vicarage of East Brent for maioraiming eer-
tala doetrises, is yet is no else disqualified from taking sad
rtatelog the vicarage of West Brent, or tadeed say other
mot is the gift of the bishop, even within the very same
dreses." The right rev. prelate alludes hopefully to the
prepit of ratan the judgneest upon "some reheard ,
point." He further says :—" That the body and blood of
Christ ere really sad specially present in the Holy Eucha-
rist I most entirely believe; and if I saw that the lodgment
in the late ruse denied thet great truth, than is no lan-
guage, however strong, in which, without waiting for the
result of the appeal, I would n..t join the sturdier among
you in Reprobating much a contradiction to the plain tesah-
iag of our church." The bishop has, however, glees a epe-
riol oration to those whom he boa recently ordained,
' unrest committing themselves to retracts on high and
mysterious matters which neither Hely Scripture, nor the
Catholic church, nor our own branch of it, has ever rt-
gird its members to believe."
GALLANT CONDUCT.—About half an hoar pr•• 101111

Jones, who has for many year been in the habit of hawking
cakes to pearlier, accidentally fell over the ergs in the
pre erre of crowds of people, hut to one rtemoted to
recite her, till Mr J-he Timothy, a yoga, man of eaves-
teen, son of Mr. E. W. Timothy who did not see the old
woman fall, bat as attracted by the rise of the people,
immediately turned round and jot:aped after her, and sup-
ported her in the water, till they were drifted by the car-
rot, which was rinsing strongly at the time, to one of
the mooring• chains of the stout, to which, with the old
woman, be clang by either hand, till a boat got to their
ranee Mr. Timothy's conduct ie worthy the attentioa of
the Humane Society, an the poor old woman would certainly
have been drowned but for his timely aneistaact.—horrA
