IS REP RES EN T ATI ON-WATKINS'S
DIRECTORY.—We have, for about a month past, observed
in several newspapers, prefixed or affixed to our announcements of
the " Post Office London Directory for 1853," an advertisement in
which it is aleged that " Watkins's General London Directory and
Court Guide for 1853' contains upwards of 127,000 names, being
27,000 more than will be found in any other Directory of London
ever published." It is not the fact that " Watkins's Directory for
1853" contains 27,000 more names than the " Post Office London
Directory for 1853," or even so many names as that work. The
arrangement, termed in the Post Office " STREET DIRECTORY," and
in Watkins's " STREET KEY." The " Street Directory" in the
Post Office Directory contains 114,048 names or firms, while
Watkins's contains but 113,410. In the other divisions of the work,
containing names distinct from those in the Street Directory, or
information of a different character, the disproportion is more
marked. In the names of Government Officers, for instance, the Post
Office has 7,000 names, *bile Watkins's has very much less than
3,000, and Watkins's contains no Alphabetcal List of, or Index to
these names, so that one name cannot be found without wading
through the entire. In the Postal division the disproportion is still
greater, while in Watkins's Directory this division is devoid of any
Index; nor is there any Index to the Street Key, or to the List of
Trades, or to the Legal Directory. We should not have made this
announcement but for the misrepresentation that" Watkins's Direc-
tory for 1853" contains 27,000 "more names than any other Direc-
tory of London ever published." Such a statement repeated so fre-
quently asit has been in public alvertisements, might, if allowed to
pass uncontradicted, obtain some amount of credence.

UPPER INDIA RAILWAY COMPANY.—
Additional capital of 3,000,0001.—Fr0m the great imp stance
attached by the authorities to the early construction of a line of rail-
road from Allahabad to Delhi, the Directors ofthe Upper Ind.a Rail-
way Company feel it to be essential to the interests cf their
Shareholders that this Company should at once be placed in a posi-
tion to tender for the whole line. They have therefore rcsolved,
after mature delberation, to INCREASE the present CAPIPAL of
the Company irons 1,005,000!. to 4,000,000!. This sum their En-
gineers assure the Directors is fully adequate to' construct the whole
line and such' short branches as may be necessary, as well as to pro-
vide the requisite plant.
The additional capital will be raised by an issue of 150,000 shares of
201. each, with a deposit of 2s. on each share. Of these new shares
75,000 will be allotted pro rata to the holders of scrip, as new as may
be in the prep..rtion of three shares of the new issue te“tveer two of
the old issue. 50,0i0 will be reserved for India, and ,She remaining
shares, including any not taken in India or by the SerlPhol leis, will
be reserved or disposed of for the interest of this Company, as the
pirectors may deem advisable.
Applications to be addressed to the Directors, at the offices of the
Company, on or before the 21th instant. Present holders cf scrip,
who desire to avail themselves of the option of having new shares,
are requested to forward, with their applications, their scrip tor
verification, at the office of the Company, on or before the 24th inst.
Forms of application may be had at the office.

THE FRENCH EMPIRE.

The Emperor did not take his departure yester-
day for Compiegne as originally intended. His
journey is postponed for some days, and, when he
goes, Marshal de St. Arnaud, Minister of War,
will accompany him. The other Ministers will visit
Compiegne in succession. The cortege of his Ma-
jesty will be composed of about a score of persons,
senators, marshals, and generals. It is also said
that several members of the diplomatic corps are
to be invited to the hunts which are to take place in
the forest.

The Moniteur publishes an amnesty granted to
deserters from the merchant service, on the same
terms and conditions as that lately granted to those
of the army and navy, and allowing different periods
for them to avail themselves of it, according to the
distance at which they may be at the time from
France.

The central commission of railways, which was
created to replace the general commission insti-
tuted in 1847, ceased to exist in 1851 2 • but it is
now said that the Government intends to institute
a new commission charged to decide on the oppor-
tuneness of the demands for new lines, and on the
precise direction to be taken by them. The large
number of demands for concessions referred to by
the Moniteur has, it is said, led to this measure.
The Government, it is added, will submit to the
commission a project for establishing secondary
lines, in which, as in 1842, the different directions
which it is desirable for them to take will be indi-
cated, and the number of them will be limited.
A journal of the Dordogne says :—" As the
heavy rain prevented a great number of electors
from going to vote on the question of the Empire,
the electors who were prevented from voting has-
tened to make declarations to that effect to the
mayors. It appears that the mayors of 92 communes
of this department have forwarded proces-verbiux
to prove that upwards of 3000 electors were thus
prevented from voting."
General Lamorciere has returned to Bruss els,
where he intends to pass the greater part of the
winter.

The Patrie states that two decrees are in contem-
plation, one to augment the number of the members
of the Chamber of Commerce from 15 to 21 : and
the second relative to the commission to be levied
by agens de change, brokers, and insurance office
agents. The negotiation of commercial bills not
having more than six months to run is to be charged
one-eighth per cent., half to be paid by either party ;
but when the time is more than six months one-
eighth per cent. is to be paid by the buyer, and one-
fourth per cent. by the seller. For negotiations in
the Rente, Industrial Shares, Bank Shares, and
Railway Securities, the commission is to be one
eighth per cent. on the net amount of the negotia-
tion, payable by each party. When for railway
shares the commission so levied shall be inferior to
50c. per share, the sum of 50c. shall nevertheless
be charged, one-half payable by the seller, and one-
half by the buyer. Lower charges than are at pre-
sent levied are also to be fixed for the sale of bran-
dies, wines, &c., and the commission to be charged
by the insurance-office . agents is to be one per
thousand, whatever may be the rate of premium.
The inauguration of the bust of the Emperor at
the Marche des Enfants Rouges, took place on
Tuesday in presence of the Archbishop of Paris, the
mayor of the 7th arrondissement, and the other
functionaries of the district. The mayor delivered
a speech on the occasion, in which he recapitulated
the immense services which had been rendered to
the country by the man who had been thrice elected
by France as her head. This speech, which was lis-
tened to with the deepest attention, was, at its
close, followed by loud cries of " Vive l'Empereur."
The Archbishop afterwards delivered an allocution
suitable to the occasion, which produced the
deepest impression.
Public securities were heavy yesterday. The
Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 106 f. 350.,
and closed at 106 f. 10c. ; the Three per Cents.
closed at 82f. 15c.

THE CONTINENT.

SPAIN.

A telegraphic dispatch announces that General
Narvaez has been ordered to quit Spain.
The Madrid Gazette of the 9th contains a noti-
fication from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to
the effect that the Queen of Spain has acceded to
the treaty of Loudon of the Bth May, between the
great powers, relative to the succession of the
Danish Throne ; and that this succession was
effected on the sth with the usual formalities.
The Gazette states that on the Ist the floating
delit of the Treasury was 354,628,487 rcals, and
that a month before it was 356,205,303 reads. The
negotiation of Treasury Bonds during the month
of November was, says the Gazette, effected at 8
per cent. per annum for private persons, and at 6
cent. for the Bank and Messrs. Rothschild. In
consequence of acquittal by the jury, the Nacion,
theNonedates, and the Clamor Public° had resumed
publication as political journals.

GERMANY.
In the last sitting of the Germanic Diet, says the
German Journal of Frankfort of the 13th, M. de
Bismarck-Schcenhausen announced that he had
received an official notification from the Minister
of France of the accession of Prince Louis Napoleon
to the Empire. The Diet resolved that it would
continue its official relations with the French Go-
vernment until further orders. "It is said," adds
the Gazette, " that the recognition of the new
French Empire will not take place until after the
Empire shall have been recognised by the different
S tates.
The "
Bavarian journals announce that M. de
Wendland, Bavarian ambassador in Paris, who
had been passing some time in Munich, left that
city on the 9th to return to his post. He was the
bearer, it is said, of new credentials.
Intelligence reached Mannheim on the 9th that
the students of Heidelberg intended to make a
demonstration in the night. Two companies of
infantry were immediately ordered to keep them-
selves in readiness to act at a moment's notice, but
the night passed off peaceably.
The official journal of Berlin, of the 11th, an-
nounces that Prince Charles of Prussia had passed
a good night, and that, as no change was expected
Ito take place in his situation, which was favourable,
no more bulletins are to be published.

The Resorgimento of Turin, of the 11th, states
that the curates of Villareggia and San Giusto
(Piedmont) were arrested on the 7th, for having
spoken against the constitutional regime.
The examination of witnesses still continues at
Florence in the case of Guerrazzi and others, and,
generally speaking, the depositions are decidedly
in favour of the prisoners. It is believed, in Flo-
rence, that Romanelli will be acquitted ; as to
Guerrazzi his acquittal is not considered quite so
certain ; and great fetirs are entertained for the
other prisoners.
A letter from Florence, of the 7th, in the Cor-
riere Mercantile of Genoa, states that so many ex-
ceptions have been made to the measure by which
foreign refugees were to be expelled from Tuscany,
that in reality the whole measure is reduced to
this—that any refugee may reside in Tu!scany, pro-
vided be has means of subsistence, quiet habits,
and respectable acquaintance. Permissions of re-
sidence have already been retur.ned to a great
many refugees who had been deprived of them.
