KELLY'S PORT-OFFICE LONDON DIRWTORT FOR
1669.—1 t is sufficient to record the publication of this
volume, which is probably the completeet existing direc-
tory. The information which it contains is brought up to
the latest date ; and the inquirer is aided in his search
for the manse, the street, or the calling of which he may
be in quad, by an elaborate system of classification and
.roes-classifiastion which it required ingenuity to devise
and patience to carry out. The book is essential to most
men of business, and will be useful to every one, in
beakless or out of it. who has any dealings with
London—that is to say, to many persons in every
part, not only of the United Kingdom, but of
the civilised world. The Weiler of the date up to
which the corrections are carried is shown by the follow-
ing list :—" The new peeress, Viscountess Beaconsfield,

is inserted In the list of peeremea in their own rights, p.
2,264, and in the Court Directory, p. 2,103 ; gmettod De-
cember 1. The election of the Scotch peers and the creation of
Viscount Gormanston to a Barony of the United King-
dom are noticed in the Parliamentary Directory at pp.
2,246, 2,249, and 2,2i3 ; gazetted December 4. The New
Neat and Poultry Market at Smithfield, with the names
and occupations of the holders of the stalls, which was
cnly opened for business on December 1, appears in the
Street Dir,ctory, p. 643, and throughout the various divi-
sions of the work. The resignation of the Disraeli
Ministry announced December 3, necessitated consider-
ald altxrations throughout the Official and Parliamentary
Directories. The uew ministry, as fur 1101 it was com-
posed, a liht of which appeared on the 7th of December, is
insert din the (initial, p. 74, and throughout the Parts-
mentary. Directory. A complete list of the new Parlia-
ment, with their 1111anArom end elube, appears in the Par-
liamentary Directory, pp. 2,2.7 to 2,271, although the last

ELBOTION
Tai Pisituot's Bs-uscrios.—Wr. P. obsp-
maa, the
at Mew, has appritated Nistmlay mem-
oath, at 11 to clerk, for the sistgiiin fee Greenwich.
HiHitherto, shies Greenwich bas been a parliamentar;
boarrzasu h, it La been austontary to have the %In%
in the open spate stoma to St
Greenwich; but alt ose' ObIIDWIVIDIMI rtiPer• to be
toned for some three or tear Usesand persons, the
ewo was deemed altogether istreacient to atiomnini-
Late the large nambere whys, if We weather is &veee
able. are sure to be present to bear the Wren of the
Premier, on the ocassion of his re-eleetion, and it has
therefore been determined that the basting shall be
erected on Blackheath. The threatened opposition to
the Right Boa. W. E. Gladstone's return has now alto-
gether sub Oded, the more• induential leaders of the
conservative party in the borough having declined to
take part in support of any rival candidate, who was
certain of defeat u a poll should lave been persiated in.
ThuvisnarrY ov LONDON.—This election will
take place at the New University-buildings, in Burling!
ton-gardens. OD Monday, the 21st instant. As there will
be no opposition to Mr. Lowe's return, his committee, it
seems, have not thought it necessary again to address the
constituency on his behalf so soon after an election. We
believe that the proceedings at this election will be the
same as on the last cession ; but it is not probable that
Yr. Lowe will feel it desirable to do mere than briefly to
return thanks for his re-election.
Mr. Edward Minn, writing to some of the Brad-
ford working men, says—" Though surprised and disap-
pointed at the issue of the late election at Bradford, I
rejoice with you in the triumphs achieved for liberal prin-
ciples in re many other parts of the country, and now bail
with satisfaction the advent of Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bright,
and their colleagues to power. Whether my exclusion
from parliament was fairly and legitimately effected, time
will soon show ; et any rate I shall not cease to labour in
any sphere remaining open to me for the advancement of
the political truths which I professed at Bradford. and
which will always remain dear to my heart, as I doubt
not they will to yours."
