KELLY'S BIRMINGHAM DIRECTORY.

No better proof of the correctness and value of this
work can be adduced than the simple fact that the
materials have been collected and arranged by the same
gentlemen who are engaged in the preparation of that
great masterpiece among guides of this description, " The
London Post-office Directory"— and that the extensive
resources of Messrs. Kelly's printing establishment have
been employed in its publication. It may be well, how-
ever, to mention some of the most prominent features of
the Directory. It is confined not alone to Birmingham,
but extends its ramifications over the entire counties
of Warwickshire, Worcestershire, and Staffordshire, and
the information it contains is corrected up to the period
of its issue to the public. The first few leaves are occu.
pied with an alphabetical list of all the towns, villages,
and hamlets in the three counties, with a reference
to the page in which they are to be found, and, on
turning over, we perceive the most ample details
are given of each, embracing a brief sketch of
its nature and history, with the names of the gentry,
tradesmen, &c. Then there is a general alpha-
bet Court directory, as well as a trades' directory
for the three counties, the latter being divided under the
heads of different trades and businesses. The directory
for that great hive of industry—Birmingham—is kept
distinctly by itself, and is placed at the end of the volume.
Its plan of arrangement is precisely the same as that
adopted in larger works we have mentioned, and it there-
fore presents the same facilities for ascertaining the names
and residences, &c., of individuals. The book is em-
bellished with excellent maps of the counties, corrected,
as we are informed, up to the latest period ; and the
plan of Birmingham, as originally published, by the
Society for the Diffusion of U sefu 1 Knowledge.

I.IIORSDAT MORNING.—There appears to .
no end to this year's storms, there having been almost
one continuous gale from westward during the last ten
days. The English mails, consequently, are extremely
irregular in their arrival, and, were it not for the agency
of the magnetic telegraph, now in operation, the public
would have been upon several occasions of late com-
pletely in arrear of all intelligence respecting the great
political events of the day. Yesterday the Holyhead
mail steamer due at Kingstown at 10 o'clock, did not
arrive until 3 p.m., long before which a copious abstract
of the continental and domestic news contained in the
London morning papers was received by telegraph, and
circulated through Dublin and the provinces.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

- -
A portion of the supply of English wheat in to-day's
market was the refuse of Monday, and in very middling
condition. The fresh arrivals were very moderate. There
was a slight increase in the attendance of buyers ; never-
theless the amount of business doing in home-grown wheats
was but moderate. In prices scarcely any change took
place from Monday.
The imports of foreign wheat were under 6,000 quarters.
Most kinds were in moderate request, but we have no de-
cline to notice in the quotations.

Floating cargoes were dull.
English barley, the show of which was large, was easier
to purchase. Foreign parcels were dull.
We had a very slow sale for malt, the prices of which
were with difficulty supported.
Oats, beans, peas, and flour sold at Monday's currency.

The supply of beasts here to-day being very moderate,
and the weather favourable for slaughtering, the beef trade
ruled steady, at fully Monday's prices. Amongst the stock
were 240 oxen from Spain and Portugal. Sheep, the
numbers of which were limited, sold readily at extreme
rates. We had an improved inquiry for calves, at an
advance of 2il per Sibs. The supply was very limited.
Pigs sold on former terms.

IRISH CONSTABULARY FORCE.

Lord 6.IIAMILTON wished to ask the Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland, whether any new duties have been
imposed on the Irish Constabulary since last session,
whereby they have been associated with the Revenue
Police, for the purpose of enforcing the revenue laws,
and aiding in the detection of illicit distillation ; and,
in the event of no such change having been already
effected, to ask, whether the Government at present in•
tend to make any alteration of that character ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
the Government had not found it necessary to im-
posa any new duties upon the Irish Constabulary
Force since last session. With regard to their in-
tentions for the future, all he could say was, that the
prosecution of any intentions they might now have in
view would have to stand over for future consideration.
At present there was no necessity for imposing any ad-
ditional duty on the constabulary, for the increased duty
had hitherto been cheerfully paid, while at no period
had illicit distillation been less prevalent in Ireland than
it was at present. (Hear, hear.)

persons, however humble ? Why should we, by im-
posing vexatious, intolerable, and unwarrantable
restrictions in the name of religion, render it a nuis-
ance, while uneducated men, who cannot separate
the divine principle from its improper application,
will ba desirous of abating on the first favourable
opportunity? The Christian religion is one of
peace. It strives to persuade rather than to
enforce obedience to its precepts. The paramount
principle of the Btitish Constitution is that of
universal toleration of the most unqualified liberty
of conscience. Why then should we endeavour
to enforce, the " Judaical observance" of the
sacred day on those who think that "the
Sabbath was made for man, and not man
for the Sabbath ?" Why should we strive to
prevent what a large proportion, if not a majo-
rity, of the people believe to be innocent
enjoyment because some would apply their time
to what they consider better purposes ? Why
should we prevent any from obtaining what may
be termed, if not necessary, at least wholesome
refreshment, because some may d generate into
brutality ? If we strive to make the Sabbath a
day of gloom and seclusion we may materially
injure in place of promoting the cause of true re-
ligion.

without any appearance of improvement. Railway

This, tia) lot de* of the ialeutiLv, was cortathly not

the least attracti►e. The weather was delightfully fine
and the attendance immense.

The meeting went off with considerable Iclat. We
believe that it is in contemplation to extend the meeting
to four days.
The race officials got through their arduous labours
most satisfactorily, and to Mr. Ch dlc, the chief con-
stable, great praise is due for his vigilant and indefatig-
able exertions.

Two war screw-steamers are now fitting up at the manu-
factory of Messrs. Mare and Co., Blackwall, for the Aus-
trian Government. One is laid out for 50 guns, and the
other will carry a smaller number. These vessels were
originally designed and ordered for the Sultan of Turkey,
but subsegnenty they were transferred to the Austrian
Government.

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, Friday, Aug. 25.—The announcement
this forenoon, that in Liverpool the price of "fair"
American cotton isTd. 'Per lb. lower than it was on the
nth instant bas rather counteracted the evident ten-
dency of the telegraphic intimations that the day is fine
or very fine in every quarter of the country, to improve
the tone of feeling on our Exchange.
In yams there has been less business done. The home
consumers and the India merchants are more backward
in operating than the continental and Levant houses ;
and, therefore, while most spionings prepared for the
first class have slightly receded in price (say about Id.
per lb.), those adapted for the other classes are not
quoted lower (except warps and pincops), though they
may be rather more ea.iily obtainable in some quarters.
Many spinners have still considerable contracts in hand.
In the finer kinds there appears to be no alteration.
BRADFORD, Aug. 24.-- Wool—The quantity coming to
market is on the increase, and as many spinners who
attended the country markets and fairs have laid in good
supplies, at prices much easier than is now demanded,
there is no dispositlim to add to stocks at the prices now
si.ught, which have been materially brought about by
aurchases fur woollens and blankets, and not
for legitimate consumption for worsted purposes.
P eces—The demand fur goods is not great, but the ad-
Vantages offered by the manufacturers at midsummer in-
duced orders to be given by the merchants.
LEICESTER, Aug. 24.—The glove branch does not at
present partake fully in the demand. Worsted yarns
have again risen a halfpenny per lb., making an advance
of I,d, above their lowest point.

SPAIN.

The 21st being on Monday, the only Madrid
journal of that date which we have received is the
Gazette. It contains an address front M. Sagasti,
! civil governor of Madrid, to the electors on the
elections for the Constituent Cortes, which are
about to take place. The new Cortes, he says,
will introduce into the constitution the ideas pro-
claimed by the liberal army, and the principle
written on the barricades in the blood of the
population of Madrid. As to the policy of the
Government with respect to the elections, he
states that it is summed up in the simple and do
quent programme of the Dike de la Victoria--
"Let the national will be accomplished !" He tells
the electors that they will be allowed to meet, and
to exercise all their-rights-freely. - In a notification

persons, however humble ? Why should we, by im-
posing vexatious, intolerable, and unwarrantable
restrictions in the name of religion, render it a nuis-
ance, while uneducated men, who cannot separate
the divine principle from its improper application,
will be desirous of abating on the first favourable
opportunity? The Christian religion is one of
peace. It strives to persuade rather than to
enforce obedience to its precepts. The paramount
principle of the British Constitution is that of
universal toleration of the most unqualified liberty
of conscience. Why then should we endeavour
to enforce the " Judaical observance" of the
sacred day on those who think that " the
Sabbath was made for man, and not man
for the Sabbath ?" Why should we strive to
prevent what a large proportion, if not a majo-
rity, of the people believe to be innocent
enjoyment because some would apply their time
to what they consider better purposes ? Why
should we prevent any from obtaining what may
be termed, if not necessary, at least wholesome
refreshment, because some may &generate into
brutality ? If we strive to make the Sabbath a
day of gloom and seclusion we may materially
injure in place of promoting the cause of true re-
ligion.

THE OFFICERS OF THE 46th BEGLIIENT.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

- - - -
SIR,—An anonymous correspondent in your paper of
this evening has alluded to the conduct of certain officers
of the 46th Regiment, after dining at the mess of the
Northamptonshire Militia in this town. I think it
only just to Colonel Garrett to state that those officers
of the 46th Regiment, who were concerned in the dis-
turbance, were most severely reprimanded by him, and
the one who had made himself most conspicuous was
not only forbidden to go into Northampton without a
.pass, but also was not permitted t• meet my officers
when they returned the visit of the 46th at Weedon.
I must observe, in conclusion, that the officers of the
Northamptonshire Militia do not concur with " A
Constant Reader" in condemning a whole regiment for
the misconduct of a few.
Declining any further correspondence on the subject,
remain, your obedient servant,
BURGHLEY, Lieut.-Colonel,
Commanding Northampton Militia.

ITALY.

The celebrated archaeologist, Meloni, died at
Portici, on the 12th, of cholera.
The Chamber of Commerce of Genoa has been
officially informed that the French Government
has fine I five hundred square metres as the space
to be allotted to Sardinian produce in the Grand
Exhibition of 1855.

The convent of Capuchin nuns at Turin has just
been evacuated by the inmates, in order to make
room for cholera patients. Nevertheless, the mor-
tality from the epidemic is very slight, the total
number of cases since the outbreak not exceeding
100, with 77 deaths.
The Provisional Exhibition of articles of Tuscan
manufacture, intended as a preliminary step to
their bein, sent to the Exhibition of the Industry
of all .Nations, will take place at Fbrence on the
12th of November next, instal of the 15th of
October, as had been previously fixed.
We read in the Moniteur :
"Daring the course of the epidemic which still rages
on the coa t- f Italy, the agents of France have given
a proof of devotedness, which we take pleasure in
mticing known. At Genoa, our Consul-General set
an example of calinne-s and courage in the midst
f the general terror produced by the rapid inva-
sion of the disease. He never quitted the place,
which was almost deserted, and co-operated in the
most active manner in organising the necessary Inca-
sures fir succouring the sufferers. At Nice, M. Gavard,
the director of the French consulate, equally distin-
guished himself by his intelligent zeal, which has procured
fit him the gratitude of the inhabitants. Count de
Marie .urt, the consul at Port Maurice, devoted him-
self with abnegation to the alleviation of the suf-
ferings of a population cruelly decimated by the
disease, .not only at his place of residence, but also in the
neighbouring town of Oneglia. The whole province, and
the Sardinian Governtm nt itself (through its official
organ, thePiedmonteseGazette), have testified the gratitude
with which his conduct has inspired them. It is painful to
have to add that whilst M. de Maricourt was gtvingassist-
a ,ce to the sick with a zeal which is beyond praise, he
himself suffered the most severe affliction that could have
fallen on him ; in a few hours he lost his daughter, aged
15. At Leghorn, on the 15th, after having been present
at the Te Deuce sung in honour of the fête of the Em-
peror Napoleon, M. de-tiirievier de Jussieu, the Consul.
General of France, worthily finished the day by visiting
with the employes of his consulate the cholera hospitals,
and addressing words of consolation and encouragement
to their inmates."

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A Vienna letter of the 20th says :—" It is re-
ported that 'Baron Gehringer is • named corn
misioner-general for Wallachia, whilst M. de Bach
is to proceed to Jassy iu a similar capacity."
A letter from Jasey, 13th, in the Lloyd of
Vienna, says :—" Russian agents are exerting all
.their efforts to induce the inhabitants of Moldavia
to get up an address to the Czar, praying him to
retain the protectorate of the Principalities. The
following is the text of the address, which is quietly
circulated throughout Moldavia :
"All-powerful Czar ! The undersigned inhabitants of
Moldavia avail themselves with all obedience, and with
heartfelt joy of the opportunity of swearing to you,
Majesty our unshakeable fidelity, for it is only to tlit
unlimited power of your Majesty that Moldavia owes he,
present position, in which she wishes for ever to remain
If God, the Master of Victory and of Power, gives to
your Majesty the victory over your enemies, who have
the criminal intention of wresting us from the protection
of your Majesty, it is then more particularly that we
will testify by the real joy which we shall feel what
efforts we will make to remain for ever the faithful and
obedient servants of your Majesty."

of Portsmouth Harbour yesterday morning, and anchored at
Spithead. She aw, its orders.

Thera appears to be great dissatisfaction at the hushing-
up of the late proceedings on board the Salamander. To
be sure the Admiralty have marked their sense of the state
of the Salamander by superseding the commander and
nearly all the officers; but it is generally thought that a
public investigation, such as took place at Windsor, would
render incalculable service to the navy.
