London, England, 1854-03-20

Just published. in 2,400 pages, the March Edition of the '
POST OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY
FOR 1854.
- •

The March publication has hitherto consisted of the same sheets
as in the Christmas edition ; but this year every copy of the work
has been disposed of, notwithstanding that the edition was the largest
ever produced: it has therefore been necessary entirely to reprint
the volume. _ _ _

Advantage has been taken of the sheds passing through the press
to introduce emendations in all parts of the book; besides which the
divisions ent tied respectively "Official Directory," " ostal Direc
tory," and " Parliamentary Directory," have been entirely recom-
piled and corrected to the time of publication.
" Another improvement has been adopted in this edition; the Ex-
ternal Index has been so arranged that the commencement and
conclusion co, each division is clearly defined, without the unsightly
notches which," &c.—Morning Chronicle. March, 16, 1854.
" By this simple device, the Directories are most strikingly sepa-
rated from each other, and the facility of reference the more imme-
diately secured."—Morning Herald, March IG, 1,454.
"Messrs. Kelly's diligence, care, and promptitude must command
Increasing success."—Morning Advertiser, March IG, 1854.

"You have only to pace the book on it; back, and at a glance you
can pick out any one of the numerous guides of which it is made up."

ONCE UPON A. TIME.
By CHARLES KNIGHT.
`• t his pleasant gallery of p pular antiquarianism, alternately mak-
ing our heart yearn upon the good times th,t are gone ..ever to
return, and causing us to wonder a. d to rejoice at the mighty strides
the world has made in the road of improvement."—John Bull.

" Once upon a Time' is worth possessing"—Examiner.
"This varied, peasant, and, what is not alw tys the case, inform-
ing co lection of Fasays, is in part a selection from the writings of a
man who has done more to popu'arise literature than perhaps an)
other man of the day. The volumes consist of a number of notices
illustrative 0' manners or archeology, arranged in chronological
rder."—Spectator.

TEE BELGIAN GIRL'S CASE.

Notwithstanding the reward offered, Madame Denis
and her husband have hitherto eluded the exertions mad.
by the police to apprehend them. They are supposed
to be abroad. A second charge would have been made
against them—that of conspiring to procure the defile-
ment of a young French girl named Gabrielle, who was
decoyed to the house, but contrived to escape. A
letter to this gial from a foreign actress has fallen into
the hands of the police. In this letter, which is dated
the sth of July last, the writer cautions the girl Ga-
brielle against the house, and states that her own
(the writer's) sister was seduced there. The letter
proceeds to give advice to the girl Gabrielle, "as a
-friend," but the advice seems rather to turn upon the
amount she would be likely to gain than to dissuade her
altogether from following a vicious course. Thus the
girl is informed that, after paying expenses, she would
only be able to retain half the amount she would receive
and that she would never make more than Si. at a time
The writer then invites the girl Gabrielle to come to her
house rather than to that of Madame Denis, chiefly as
a matter of economy. It is stated that attempts have
been made to induce the girl Alice Leroy to leave Eng-
land before the trial. Since her escape from the house
she has received a letter from Madame Denis, in which
that person urges her to go abroad, and tells her that
she will send her money, and make her independent.
The poor girl in under Ole care of the police.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

On the motion for going into a committee of Ways and
means,

LAYARD said he had, a notice on the paper of
his intention to ask the noble lord the member for the
City of London a question on the subject of the Turkish
aggression. If he were to put the question without
giving his reasons for it, which he must do if he asked it
now, most probably he would get a rather unsatisfac-
tory answer. Perhaps, therefore, it would be better
that he should postpone his question until those extra-
?rtlinary and most important documents which had been
the table had been well digested. (Hear.)
...The house then went into a committee of Ways and
means,

DOUBLING THE INCOME TAX.
The committee agreed without discussion to the nlO.

The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland and family, re-
ceived on) Saturday, at Stafford House, letters from
their graces' second son, Lord Frederick Leveso n Gower,
recently appointed to a commission in the Rifle Brigade,
2d Battalion, announcing the safe arrival at Malta with
his regiment, on the 12th inst., in the Vulcan, en route
to the seat of war in the Exist. The Earl and Countess
Constance Grosvenor have left the noble duke's man-
sion for Calveley Park, Cheshire.
Anniv.us OF BIILLION.—The arrivals of bullion last
week have been about 200,0001., including some small
amounts from Russia. The exports, chiefly consisting
of gold to the continent, have been unusually heavy,
and are supposed to have reached at least 1,000,0001.,
exclusive of 243,000/. of silver shipped for India and
China by the Indus.

HALIFAX, MARKET, March 11.—. We can report no
improvement in this market, a considerable degree of
langour continuing to pervade both the goods and yarn
departments, as well as the long wool trade ; and prices
shewing a tendency to further depression. Short wools
are stationary in value, and not very plentiful.
HUDDERSFIELD, March 14. Business has been very
quiet in the Cloth-hall to-day, and there is hardly any
on
perceptible change to report previous weeks. There
were a fair number of purchasers in the, town, and any-
thing fresh and really good was bought up very readily ;
but there was great complaint that goods of this descrip-
tion were exceedingly scarce.

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS.

On and from the same dated, the rates of postage now
chargeable upon packets containing printed Votes and
proceedings of the Imperial Parliament, sent through
the post to any of the Colonies above specified will be
repealed, and all such packets will be subject to the
rates of postage which are levied on printed books sent
to the Colonies, viz :
For a packet of Parliamentary Proceeding not exceeding
half a-pound in weight, 6d.
For a packet of Parliamentary Proceedings exceeding
half-a-pound and not exceeding one pound,
For a packet of Parliamentary Proceedings exceeding
one pound and not exceeding two pcunds, 2s.
and so on, increasing one shilling for every pound or
fraction of the pound.
The following conditions, however, must be carefully
observed—

Ist. Every such packet must be'sent without a cover,
or in a cover open at the ends or sides.
2d. It must contain a single publication only, the
several sheets or parts thereof, when there are more
than one, being sewed or bound together.
3rd. It must not exceed two feet in length, breadth,
width, or depth.
4th. It must have no writing or marks upon the
cover, or its contents, except the name and address of
the person to whom it may be sent.
sth. The postage must be prepaid in full, by affixing
outside the packet or its cover, the proper number of
stamps.

If any of the above conditions be violated, the packet
must be charged as a letter, and treated as such in all
respects.
To prevent any obstacles to the regular transmission
of letters, any officer of the Post-office may delay the
transmission of any such packet of printed votes and pro-
ceedings for a term not exceeding twenty-four hours,
from the time at which the same would otherwise have
been for warded by him.

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with
foreign stock, amongst which were 90 oxen from Spain.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were limited, and iu very middling
condition. The attendance of buyers being large, the beef
trade ruled active, at an advance in the quotations ob-
taihed on Monday last of 4d per 81bs, and a good clearance
was effected.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 1,900 Scots and short-horns ; from
other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; and from
Scotland 240 horned and polled Scots.
There was a falling off in the supply of sheep. All
breeds commanded a steady, though not very brisk, de-
mand, at 2d per 81bs more money. The beat old Downs,
in the wool, realised 5s per Blbs ; out of the wool, 4s 4d
per 81bs.
The few lambs in the market realised from Gs to Gs 8d
per Sibs.
We were very seantily supplied with calves, which
moved off steadily, at full quotations.
Pigs were dull at late figures. The supply was small.

'restore this country to the blessings of that\pe aes Which
she has enjoyed for so many years. lam coia•ditvi,
the country will feel that we are going ins thisS
war reluctantly, but patriotically, and that when
I say I sin sensible of the seriousness and import-
ance of the duty, I am only expressing the senti-
ments of the whole of her Majesty's Ministers.
(Applause.) I have already told you that I regretted the
absence of Sir Charles Wood, as he would have expressed
the feelings which the Government entertain of the co-
operation and assistance which they have received from
the East India Company. I need scarcely refer to the
circumstances which occurred last year to prove the,
patriotism and self-denial of the company, and their de-
sire to act in accordance with the wishes of the publie,,
and for the interests of that great empire over which it
has pleased the Almighty they should hold dominion.
(Hear, hear.) I hope you will forgive me if I venture
to express to you on my own behalf, on behalf of my
right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on
behalf of the noble duke on my left (the Duke of Harrill-
ton), and on behalf of the Governor of Canada and the
Postmaster• General, the feelings of affection and friend-
ship with which we regard the noble lord in whose
honour we have met this evening. We have known
him for many years, and we cannot but congratulate the
East India Company in having selected him to fill the
important post of governor of the Presidency of Madras,
and trust the noble lord will never tarnish the laurels
bequeathed to him by his noble ancestor, but that he
will win for himself a peaceful chaplet, and return to the
country after having realised those aspirations on behalf
of the Indian empire with which lie departs on his
mission.

The next toast was " The health of Sir Chas. Wood;
President Of the Board of Control," and after that fol-
lowed " Lord Dalhousie, Governor-General of India."
The health of " The Lord Mayor of London," " The
Civil Servants of India," "The Indian Army"--to
which Sir George Pollock replied—and some other com-
plimentary toasts having been given, the company sepa-
rated about eleven o'clock.

SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 14th inst.
T he Queen, who had been confined several days to
her apartments by a cold, had gone out, fur the
first time, on that diy. Her Majesty was not to
proceed to Seville for the Holy Week. The in-
ft intas, sisters of the King, wore alone to leave
fc ir that city on the 24th.
The Cabinet intended to submit to the Queen,
on the 15th, the project of the re-organ:sation of
the police, which is to be placed on a military
footing.
The President of the Council had returned to
Madrid, highly pleased with his inspection of the
Canal of Isabella, which, it is hoped, will be ter-
minated next winter.

The Governor-General of Cuba wrote, on the
10th ult., that the entire island continued to enjoy
perfect tranquillity.
The Three per Cents. were done at 35 ; the New
Three per Cents., at 18.60 ; the Debt of the First

without for the present speaking of its policy or
impoliey under ordinary circumstances—on which
our views must be so well known, as to require no
present explanations—we would put it even to
the most zealous " bullionist " to say, whether
there is not now an imperative necessity
for a change, at least to this extent, that if the
" convertibility of the Bank Note" must still be
maintained, and if we still wilfully and delibe-
rately refuse to avail ourselves of the advantages
plainly to be derived from the use of a national
note, we may not give additional facilities for a
well-secured, though economical, circulating me-
dium—for what, in fact, may briefly be termed,
" free trade in banking." The gold in circulation
for the daily business of the country is not less
than from 40,000,0001. to 50,000,0001. sterling.
By a judicious measure three-fourths of this enor-
mous amount may be rendered available for carry-
ing on the war, and supplying the exigencies of
our friends and allies ; and surely the time has
come when their concession, at least, should be
made to the public convenience and the demands
of the monetary reformers so far complied with.
