THE TIMES, NOVEMBER 80, 1848,

The volume for the approaching year, 1849, being the 50th volume
of t his publication, has just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co.,
of Old Boswell-court. This volume contains all the matter which
enriched those of the present and preceding years, with all such ha-
)"ovements as increased activity of research and careful investiga-
tion can supply. It appears to be as accurate a compilation for the
Offices, trades, occupations, and residences of thousands of persons
its the most minute inquiry and the most methodical arrangement
can furnish. Perhaps no book more effectually answers the purposes
for which it is intended than this does. It is necessarily a bulky
-volume ; but its bulk, contrary to the general rule, is an advantage,
and it may be said to contain no superfluous pages whatever. It is
Well printed, and well got up, and has a map of London prefixed to
it. which will be found useful. The proprietor has had for many
'Years an arduous task in carrying out hisobject, but his labours have
terminated in complete success. He has conferred a benefit on the
Public, and it is their duty, as well as their interest, to patronise his

I,P.r'z.enee of those who have been engaged in its production, and

utility. Although comprising such a myriad of isolated facts, il-
lostrative of the commercial and professional pursuits of the inhabi-
tants of this vast metropolis, we do not remember any case of error,
and the care which has thus been bestowed upon its preparation has
established it as an authoritative Directory of the capital of Great
Britain; laughing tfralry to scorn. How such an enormous body of
sPecifleintelligence could be got together at all is a matter of wonder,
but how the masses of detail brought in from the army of labourers
employed to collect it could have been so adroitly digested, and placed
In a shape so immediately adapted for reference, is more surprising
still. There, however, is a book of upwards of two thousand royal
octavo pages, taking the whole of London within its grasp, and exhi-
biting its streets and the avocations of its residents, in treble alpha-
bet, whereby the convenience of the searcher after an unknown

to short, a monument of most valuable enterprise, and achieved, as
now is, by private machinery. without the aid that was formerly
accorded it by the letter carriers, presents a matchless example of
well-directed diligence and perseverance. --
The arrangements of the present volume are similar to those which
• have distinguished the work for the last two or three years, the com-
pleteness which the proprietor has accomplished hardly admitting of
any krther. extension. We find, however, that the entire surface of
the metropolis has been revised, and such alterations made that.

necessary, while the suburban neighbourhoods, which are generally
swelling into importance and hecoming fresh hives of :human exist-
ence and human industry, are vigilantly detected and submitted to
the governing modes of analysis.

MORNING CHRONICLE, DECEMBER 1, 1848

This valuable work is so well known and appreciated, that it would
be a work of supererogation to enter into any explanation as to its
stature and merits. It is sufficient to state that this is the fiftieth
tumual publication under the shove title, and it contains a mass of
Information which can nowhere else be obtained, relative to the
commercial, professional, and other interests in this great metropolis,
so as to render its possessnn almost absolutely necessary to any one
residing in London, and who takes an active part in the business of
life. The present volume extends to upwards of 2,000 pages ; but not-
Withstanding its bulky appearance, it contains such an enormous
quantity of details, as really to render it surprising hew it could be
condensed into such a compass, and at the same time be so admirably
digested and arranged, that any reference may be found out with the
greatest facility. When this publication was first started, it was little
snore than an alphabetical list of names and addresses ; but within
the last few years the whole plan has been so expanded as to com-
prise not less than twelve separate parts, under the titles of the 001.
d_al, the Street, the Commercial, the Trades. the Law, the Court, the
Parliamentary, the Postal, the City, the Conveyance, the Banking.
and the Assurance Directories. Under each of these heads every re-
quisite information is given, so that any fact which can properly
some under any one of these categories can at once be ascertained.
The arrangement of the present volume is similar to those which
have been published for the last three or four years, but the whole of
the contents have been carefully revised, and such alterations have
been made since last year as the changes which have taken place in
the residences, appointments, and arrangements under the classes
Which we have mentioned have rendered necessary to secure ac-
"umeY• There has also been a considerable extension in many of its
departments. An extremely well-engraved new map of London,
PrePared expressly for this work, faces the title-page.

MORNING POST, NOVEMBER 30, 1848.
It is jast half a century since the " Post-office London Directory"
first made its appearance. Buthow small, how limited in its objects,
now inefficient in its attainments it then was, compared with what
it now is 1. London itself, with its commerce, its extensions, its
Population, its improvements of all sorts, does not so far outstrip
the London of 1800 as the " Post-office Directory" of 1849 does
tkat of the first year of its publication. To the energy, the enter-
Prise, and the nnwearying exertions of the Messrs. Kelly this great
Metropolis is indebted for having a directory worthy of the gigantic
interests contained within its circumference. Such a directory no
other city in the world can boast of possessing. It is really amazing
to open this huge volume and contemplate the mass of information
contained therein ; and when its accuracy is tested by referring to
details within oar own personal cognizance, it is impossible to
Withhold the expression of our admiration for the stupendous com-
pilation, and of our belief.in its general truthfulness. The classifica-
tion is most complete, and under the heads of " Official," " Street,"
" Commercial,', " Trades," " Law," " Court," " Parliamentary,"
" Postai," " City," " Conveyance," " Banking," &c., all the per-
sonal and other information which the most copious directory can
Impart is found with this greatest facility. This work is really a
fine monument of our country's commercial greatness and persever-
Mg industry.

MORNING ADVERTISER, DECEMBER 2, 1848.
This remarkable, bulky, and well-known work, with the publica-
tion for 1849 (now on the eve of being issued), reaches its fiftieth,
or jubilee year ; and, as if duly to celebrate that signal event,
Messrs. Kelly (for the proprietor) appear to have made, if possible,
Act only extra but extraordinary exertions to distinguish it, by pre-
!Denting indisputably the amplest, the most clearly arranged, and the
Most conspicuous and utilitarian c'impilation of the kind that Is
known to the world. Its multifarious merits are such that it is an
"larltial, not only to the commercial community of London, and
all the millions whe are in communication or connexion with this
great mercantile centre of that world, but must be in continuous
Naest wherever parties have communications with England—and
Where is the civilized, or half civilized land that has not such inter-
Course? To describe its contents and peculiarities at this advanced
Period of its history, would be a very uncalled for claim upon the

of the vastness and peculiarities of this metropolis. In its
rnuteness, it is an astonishing reality. What is it? It is a Direc•

and guide to the streets. the professions, the trades, &c., of

ftcommercial world. To achieve this great object, no labours seems 0
have daunted or tired, and no watchfulness or expenditure appears
to have impeded those who were engaged in preparing this volumi-
nous and perfect " London Dirt ctory."

THE TOWER G U N S;
OR, THE MOTION OF TIIE MONSTERS.
Again imagination lends her aid,
In kind suggestions to the bard of trade;
And under her instructions I describe
A recent meeting of the cannon tribe.
You'll understand that at a certain hour,
I trode the purlieus of our ancient Tower;
When strange to tell, the subjects of my ditty,
Were holding a discussion in committee.
Vast numbers of the Guns were here assembled,
And as they spoke the far-famed fortress trembled.
So down I sat, and down I took the speeches,
And underneath you'll understand what each is.
" I rise," said Fulminator, "with a notion
Of calling notice to a special motion ;
Nor will your mighty Gunships take amiss
My well-meant proposition—which is this :
• That Messrs. MOSES' Mart or wide repute
Be duly honoured with a grand salute.'
I'm sure," said he, " on looking at their
CLOTHES,
You'll acquiesce in what I now propose.
Yes, brother inmates of phis noted garrison,
MOSES you know are far beyond comparison.
All who behold the articles admit
The beauty of their style, and make, and flt."
"Just so," said Thunderbolt, " you've rightly reckoned,
And willingly your motion will I second.
The Mart at which I m pointing with my muzzle,
To competition is a downright puzzle.
THE HA TS OF MOSES
In the way they suit,
Are equally deserving a salute.
These valued tiles are such as no one shuns,
So get your touch-holes ready, brother Guns."
" I beg," said Fury," to support the motion,
For I have often entertained the notion.
And when I see the worth of
MOSES' BOOTS,
I think they merit fifty grand salutes.
The Boots and Shoes of MOSES, firmly wrought,
Cause, like the Tower Guns, a good report."
" That's perfectly correct," said Cannon Bellow,
" The Mart of MOSES never had its fellow
And this, you know, applies to
MOSES' FUR,
So, fire away, and make a glorious stir."
" Bravo," said Waterloo, " prepare your noses,
And don't forget
THE HOSIERY OF MOTES.
You know the Hosiery is good and cheap,
Give it a sally, boys, let no one sleep."
'The motion being put, at once was carried.
And I to see the issue, gladly tarried.
The firing soon commenced, when all around,
The City echoed with the moving sound ;
And while the Guns in grand salutes were firing,
Thousands at MOSES' Warehouse were attiring ;
And often was the observation made—
That MOSES' are the " Two Great Guns" of trade.

burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member
of the London Hospital Medical Society, Re.
Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always lajnrions ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of whieh this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
'or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse•sion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.
