versal approbation whirls it meets with at the hands of the commer
cial community is the strongest testimony that can be given to the
usefulness of the volume, and the most satisfactory assurance its
conductors can receive of the state of perfection to which, after so
many years of spirite i perseverance and continual progress, they
have at last succeeded in bringing it.

SPECTATOR, DECEMBER 2, 1848.
This gigantic volume of business and residential information has
now completed its half century, or year of jubilee; and is, we sup-
pose, unrivalled in tl.e variety, utility, and precision of its facts.
Upwards of two thousand pages in double and treble columns are
here presented, touching the names, coding's, and abodes of people in
business, or out of it, classified in every way to facilitate reference„
besides particular information concerning public offices, official men
conveyances, bankers, and the Post-office.

ATLAS, DECEMBER 2, 1848.
We look upon this book as a national blessing. Who has not
found the use of it? who has not turned the information it contains
to profitable account? - It is now in the jubilee year of its existence,
and, if possibbe, is more compete in its details than any of its pre-
decessors. Its amplitude and correctness arc marvellous ; and that
they are duly appreciated we need no better proof than the fact of
the übiquity of its presence. Go where you will you are sure to
meet it. It is impossible to live a week in London without feeling
the want of such a work.

LITERARY GAZETTE, DECEMBER 9, 1848.

...
Two thousand and eighty-eight pages comprise this volume,
which, we believe, we may safely affirm, could only relate to Eng-
land and be made in England ; for all the world besides could not
su ply such matter, nor furnish such means for making it tho-
roughly known and easily found. The production of a newspaper is
a daily weeder—the " Post-office Directory" is an annual one. The
information collected is prodigious, the arrangement as near as pos-
sible to perfection, and as far as we can test it by many references,
the details accurate to a nicety beyond eulogium. Everybody is
aware of what this Iliad, not in a nutshell, but for its intelligence
incredibly compressed, consists ; and therefore we will not enter
into the partLulars, but merely say that all official, social, corn.
mercial, legal, parliamentary, courtly, and other information
which may be required for conveniency, business, or pleasure, in
this unbounded Babyl,n of ours, is here; most useful and complete
in every branch and department.

HERAPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, DECEMBER 9, 1848.
There is no work of the day, in the nature of a compilation,
equal to this, both in regard to the labour bestowed upon it and
Willy to tbe public. It has now become an authentic means of en-
abling one part of the inhabitants of this great metropolis to know
the abodes of their fellows.

aANWELL COLLEGIATE SCHOOL,
Principal —Rev. J. A. EMERTON, D.D.

Tvelve Years Curate of Hanwell.

" Your not getting the a;ieiitt;;;liit;il,;nwell is a very great
disappointment to me and to many others, yet I am full of hope.
The Bishop cannot overlook your valuable services for so many
years. The state of the Church in England, as in Scotland, is very
anomalous at the present time. Calm observers are amazed at th
blindness of those high in authority."—From Mr. Sinclair (not the
Archdeacon of ➢liddlesex).

It has been said, that whatever is formed for long duration arrives
slowly to maturity. The Directory has been fifty years in a con-
dition of growth, and, by its appearance and contents, we should
judge, has arrived at maturity; therefore it is hut reasonable to
con,l,,de that its existence will be low: an•l flourishing.

Of the half century the " Direct,,ry" has been published, it has
been twelve years in the hands of the Messrs. Kelly; and it is within
this perbli the work has acquired its high position--a position So
distinguished, that it attracted some time since even the loving
attention of Government, and would no doubt have fallen into its
hands, but for the difficulty of yearly producing a work of equal
utility to the public, and of making the price at which it ii sold re-
munerative for the labour devoted upon it.

TO MR. PR OUT, 229, STRAND.
" No. 208, Piccadilly, London, October 19. 1847.

Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced nee to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During
ene of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe
cases taken them himself, and they proved verz successful. I in-
stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment
soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since
which I have had no return of the complaint.

" I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
" MICHAEL NASMYTH."

THE POET and the PUMP.
A TALE OF TETE EAST.
Where Aldgate Pump suspends its iron bowl,
A far-famed Net took his morning stroll ;
And as he neared the venerable pump,
Which long has braved the weather like a trump,
A strangers voice in plaintive accents bid
The poet stop— and stop the poet did.
Then turning round to east, west, north and south,
Ile found the voice was from a watery mouth.
" Stay, gentle laureate of the Prince of Trade,
And listen while my few remarks are made.
I've often wondered why you never sing
Of ancient Aldgate's celebrated spring.
You need not fear a theme like this to choose,
I would not throw cold water on your ruse.
You've sung of Aldgate Bells and Aldgate Church,
But leave the Pump of Aldgate in the lurch.
On London's Stone you've also used your quill,
And that tall Monument on Fish-street-hill.
You've sketched St. Paul's Cathedral and the Abbey,
But as for me, your conduct, Sir, is shabby ;
For me you do not seem to care a dump"—
And here a tear-drop trickled from the pump.
" Hush," quoth the bard, " my conduct I regret,
And I at once will liquidate the debt.
Yes, I am grieved to see you in the dumps,
And thus would I commence-0 ! Pump of Pumps !
'Tis thine to rise in ldgate's noted part,
Where busy thousands flock to MOSES' Mart.
You have the honour of beholding there
MOSES and SON'S astonishing affair.
You know tile stir created twelve years back,
When MOSES' system made its bold attack.
You know the increasing cro,,ds who still admire,
The Mart of MOSES for its prime
ATTIRE.
You know that what I say is strictly true,
Of Dress-coats, Over-coats, and Frock-coats too.
Y at know, as sure as you've an trot handle,
That competition here can't hold a candle.
MOSES' FAMED HAT MART,
Which arises yonder,
Can ne'er be matched, you know, where'er you wander.
MOSES, you know, have decorated gaily,
The ii ultitudes of beads which pass you daily.
And you have witnessed, with your crowning lamp,
THE BOOTS AND SHOES
In which so many tramp.
And well you know they'd keep the water out,
If even placed beneath your drenching spout.
You've also seen
THE HOSIERY OF MOSES,
Where neither price nor quality imposes.
You know the multitudes who daily reap
Advantage from a stock so good and cheap.
THE FUR ESTABLISHMENT,
You also know,
Where all the judging ladies wisely go.
Yes, you have seen, while spouting forth your waters,
What MOSES' do for Britannia's charming daughters.
On all the vast establishments of trade
Your daily observations you have made;
And were I now to ask you your opinion,
If MOSES' Marts are matched in the dominion.
No I' you'd exclaim apart, or in the lump,
No Marts can equal those near Aldgate Pump.' "

with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the
head and face, and all analogous complaints.
The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have
secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past
or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re-

or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact,
such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this
medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is
scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many
grateful evidences of its benign influence.

ment, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
Another arrival from the Cape of Good Hope has
brought us papers of the 2d of December. Itumours
had been in circulation that the Europeans in Panda's
country had been massacred. Later advices, how-
ever, disproved the statement. It is true that Panda
had been urged to perform such a murderous deed,
but he refused. The individuals intended to be slain
fled, and escaped in safety to Natal, with the excep-
tion of Mr. J. Meyer, of whom no tidings had been
heard, but whose life was not considered to have been
in any danger.

__TlNheTlnEdiLa
mailsLG arrivedENC thisE morn-
ing IA. IL2
MALTNAA,
by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Ripon very early and somewhat unexpectedly. They
will be forwarded at noon by her Majesty's ship Medina
through France, and direct via Gibraltar and South•
ampton later in the day.
Our local news is restricted entirely to naval events.
On Sunday last her Majesty's ship Vanguard, from
Palermo, and on the following morning her Majesty's
ship Rodney, from Naples, came into port. These ves-
sels are both en route to England to be paid off, after
reporting themselves, en route, to Sir Charles Napier at
Gibraltar.

The Vanguard has had two very narrow escapes—
one by the effects of the late gale at Palermo, when
she dragged her anchors, and but for the timely arrival
of the Rosamond would have gone on shore ; the
second time, OR the 3d instant, as she was under way,
in endeavouring to round a point she missed stays, and
was obliged to bring up in 34 fathoms. Night signals
were made to her Majesty's steamer Terrible, fortu-
nately at Palermo, and to her immediate aid is attributed
the safety of one of the finest ships in her Majesty's
service.

Mr. T. Hallowes, a mate of this ship, has just re-
ceived his lieutenancy, rand, with Lieutenant Mickle-
thwaitt, of the Bellerophon, goes overland to-day per
Medina.

The Rodney and Vanguard are both under orders for
sea on Tuesday next.
-'An Austrian vo.sca, the Sollecito Ben-raise, -having
lost her rudder during the late gales, anchored near
Zarrico, and her captain having, through the Austrian
Consul, applied for assistance to Rear-Admiral Harvey,
that gentleman immediately dispatched the Medina to
her aid, and she having taken her in tow, brought her
safely into port on Saturday morning last.
The Sidon sailed on the 9th inst. for Gibraltar, where
she is to be placed under command of Sir Charles
Napier.

Yesterday her Majesty's steamer Locust was paid off
and her crew sent on board the Rodney for passage to
England. The Locust is now in dock, and on Tuesday
the crew of the Triton, under repairs, will be put into
her, and she will be ready by that time to proceed with
the mails to Corfu.

Her Majesty's steamer, Volcano, which has lately
been placed by Sir E. Lyons, her Majesty's Ambassador
at Greece, at the disposal of the Prince Hohenlohe
Schillingsfurst and his Princess, has proceeded to the
coast of Syria, whence they will make an excursion to
Jerusalem, disembarking at Jaffa for that purpose. The
Volcano having fulfilled her present mission, will come
on to Malta and be paid off. Her crew will be sent
home by the Vanguard.
The French steamer Averne arrived here during the
night.

The Russian brig Orianda, which has been for some
time past in this port, left for Athens last evening.
The packets due, except the French from Alexandria,
have all arrived, and proceeded to their respective desti.
nations.

We learn by private letters from Gibraltar, that the
United States frigate Princeton may be expected to
reach Malta in about six days' time. She was at Naples
on the Ist instant, which port she was to leave on the
following day, to convey Colonel Rowan, the American
Minister to the Court of Naples, to Gaeta, on a visit to
his Holiness the Pope.
The United States steamer Alleghanny had reached
Gibraltar on the 25th ult., from the Brazils, and left on
the 3d inst. for Spezzia. _ _

The United States ship Constitution is reported to
have passed Gibraltar on the Ist inst. She may be daily
expected here. She will proceed to Tripoli, and there
receive on board Mr. Macauley, the newly-appointed
Consul. General of the United States to the Egyptian
Viceroy.
Commodore Bolton, in the James Town, has arrived
at Cadiz, and will proceed up the Mediterranean without
calling at Gibraltar.

Commodore Read, in the United States, is thought to
be on his way to the United States, via the Cape de
Verde Islands.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's fine steam-
ship the Sultan, commanded by Captain George Brooks,
the senior officer (or Commodore) in the company's
service, noted at all times for the rapidity of her pas-
sages, has, on her late one, all circumstances con-
sidered, made the quickest voyage on record. Leav-
ing Southampton on the 29th of December at three
P.M. laden with a full and heavy enren, ch.
reached Gibraltar at seven A.m. on the 4th of January,
notwithstanding her experiencing for no less than
350 miles the strong gales of head-winds and tempes-
tuous weather which prevailed at the same time in the
Mediterranean. After a detention of 11 hours to coal,
she took her departure again at 6 P.M. of the same day
(the 4th of January), and reached Valletta harbour at
1 30 P.M. on the Bth, thus making the entire passage
from Southampton to Malta in some hours short of TO
days, notwithstanding the head winds and detention at
Gibraltar. We have to lament that she should have
brought no mail, thanks to the parsimony of the British
Government, who have only renewed the contract for
one voyage monthly. The many passengers by her for
India will have to wait at least five or six days before
they can proceed on their voyage.

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 injurious ; 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 particuler excesses, on
the nature and consequence of which 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
man health
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
eovneroy of
the
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy

victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follier, of advanced age, while suffering
trom their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
[frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
'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 possession 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.
LieMERT 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.

2,000 gallons of water, and the vessel carried into Lisbon
after great waste, 8 tuns and upwards. The apparatus
yielded an average quantity of 5 gallons per day per
man. The Arrogant, 46, will have one of Mr. Grant's
improvements supplied to her to cook and distil for 500
men.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 19.—The Hastings, 72, Captain
Morgan, fiag-ship of Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Collier,
C.B. K.C.H., &e. Commander-in-Chief in the East In-
dies and China, arrived here on the 10th instant, 65
days from Rio. She passed close to Tristan D'Acunha,
but was prevented from making it out by the thick haze
prevailing at the time; and after her departure from the
Brazils she saw no land, except the island of Amster-
dam, till sho made Java Head, on the 4th inst. In the
Straits of Sunda, off Anjeer, she found her Majesty's
steam-ship Fury, Commander Wilcox, sent to wait for
the llastings
the, Admiral. The ship was taken in
tow by her on the following day--a fortunate incident,
to which she (the flag-ship) owed her arrival here at

[PRICE SD.

least three weeks earlier than it would otherwise have
taken place. That fine and powerful steamer towed the
Hastings along at the rate of 7 or 8 knots an hour, some-
times against a strong current, for several hundred miles;
and, were all her Majesty's steam-ships like the Fury,
we should not hear so much satire " lame ducks " that
waddle about the coast at home, and cause infinite in-
convenience abroad. On reaching Singapore the Hast-
ings found the Cambrian, 40, Commodore Plurnridge,
C. 13., and the Meander, 44, Captain the Hon. II KAT-
pel, with Admiral Collier's flag flying in her, which was
transferred to the Hastings on the following morning,
with the customary salutes. The Admiral has recently
returned from a personal inspection of the new colony of
Labuan, and speaks without reserve most unfavourably
o: its prospects. Public opinion here is so divided on the
subject, that no doubt accounts will reach home regard.
ing it of the most conflicting kind. Society in general,
and all the naval officers of local experience I have con•
versed with, except one, are of opinion that Labuan will
turn out a complete failure; or that, if we succeed in
clearing and eventually colonizing it, it can only be at
the price of a frightful waste of human life in the first
instance, and that, after all, its climate is such as to ren-
der it questionable if our countrymen will ever be able to
withstand its influence. A party of 30 marines, under
the command of a sergeant, was landed by the Meander,
and left in charge of the colony, some weeks ago. By
the arrival of the Royalist, Lieutenant D. Gordon, a few
days since, I learn that the sergeant and two marines
have already fallen victims, and that many more of the
party are in infirm health; in consequence of which the
Admiral has ordered the marines to rejoin their
ship as speedily as possible, and their places
on shore aro to be supplied by a company of
the 21st Madras Native Infantry, at present stationed
here. 100 native labourers have been engaged here
within the last week to proceed to Labuan for the pur-
pose of preparing it for the reception of expected set-
tlers, and it is to be hoped they will escape uninjured by
its miasma, to prove that the human frame is sometimes
proof against them. On the other hand, it seems the
fashion here to abuse Labuan, and I am not sure that
petty jealousy of Sir James Brooke is not a leading
na-tive with some of those whose opinions I have lis-
tened to, for depreciating the merits of ,rfauh,
whether successful in its issue or not, could only have
been conceived by a man of original genius, and car-
ried out by a boldness and intrepidity of character
worthy of the highest admiration. The Hastings sails
for Hong Kong to-morrow, taking the Fury with her,
and leaving the Admiral to follow in the Inflexible
steam-ship, Commander Hoseason, expected soon from
Trincomalee. The Cambrian sailed for Ceylon on the
12th instant, and the Meander returns to Labuan on the
22d. The crew of the Hastings is in excellent health ;
she has not lost a man since her commission.
By another letter we learn that the Royalist, 10, ar-
rived at Trincomalee on the 9th of December, 21 days
from Singapore, Lieutenant Everest (1844), of the
Hastings, in command; Commander Gordon having in-
valided, very ill.

TIM EAST INDIES AND CHINA.—It is reported that
the Admiralty are about to make Trincomalee the regu-
lar head-quarters of the naval forces in China and the
East Indies, and that a residence for the commander-in-
chief will be kept up there. The dockyard is to be
thoroughly repaired, and the buildings for the resident
officers are to be forthwith made habitable. The forti-
fications are also to be completed, and the approaches
efficiently covered. Since by the establishment of our
friendly relations with China, a great portion of the
naval force of the station is obliged to be kept on the
China division, our old establishment at Bombay has
become of less importance in consequence of its extreme
position. Trincomalee being more central, and equally
as well situated for speedy communication with Eng-
land, and moreover possessing great advantages from its
capability for a dockyard and for a store depot, its estab-
lishment as the naval head-quarters of India and China
is most desirable.
