MORNING CHRONICLE, DECEMBER 1, 1844,

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
nature and merits. It is sufficient to state that this is the fiftieth
annual publication under the a,ove title, and it contains a mass of
information which can nowhere else be obtained, relative to the
commercial, professional, and other interest, In this great metr .polls,
so as to render it. possession almost absolutely necessary to any one
residing in London, and who takes an active part in the business of
life. The present volume eaten a to upwards of 2,000 pages ; hut not-
'withstanding its bulky anpearance, it contains such an enormous
quantity of details, as really to render it surprising how it could be
condensed into such a compass, and at the same time be so admirably
digested and arranged,lhat any reference may he found out with the
greatest facility. When this publication was first started, it was lit•le
More than an alphabetical list of names and addresses ; but within
the last few years the whole plan has been PO expanded as to com-
prise not less than twelve separate p nig, under the titles of the Offi-
cial, the Street, the Commercial, the trades. the Law, the Court, the
Parliamentary, the Postal, the Citv, the Conveyance, the Bankin.r,
and the Assurance Directories. Under each of these heads every re-
quisite informs-ion is given, so that any tact which can p-operly
Some under any one of these categories can at once be ascertained.
The arrangement of the present volume is simil ir to those which
alre been published for the last three or four years, but the whole of
uthe contents have been carefully revised, and such alterations have
„_ueen made since last year as the changes which have taken place in
residences, appointments, and arrangements under the classes
Which we have mentioned have renlered necessary to secure ac-
curacy. There has also been a considerable extension in many of its
mellartments. An extremely well-engraved n w map of London,
/4ePariti expressly for thii work, faces the title-page.

• - MORNING FOST, NOVEMBER 30, 1848.
It is jest half a century since the " Post-office London Directory"
first made its appearance. Buthow small, how limited inits objects,
it inefficient in its attainments it then was, compared with what
zt how is ! London itself, with its commerce, its extensions, its
)° Inflation, its improvements of all sorts, does not so tar outstrip
the tendon of 1800 as the " Post-office Directory" of 1849 does
that 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
'qterests 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 centemplate the mass of information
details therein; and when its accuracy is tested by referring to
"etails within oar own personal cognizance, it is impossible to
withhold the expression of our admiration for the stupendous corn •
Dilation, and of our belief in its general truthfulness. The classifies-
ti. nt, is most complete, and under the heads of " Official." " Street,"
"Commercial,', " Trades," " Law," " Court," " Parliamentary,"
Postal." " City," " Conveyance," " Banking," &c., all the per-
,zonal and other information which the most copious directory can
impart is found with the greatest facility. This work is really a
e monument of our country's commercial greatness and persever-
`ng 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,
i?,,r jubilee year; and, as if duly to celebrate that signal.event,
4lessrs. Kelly (for the proprietor) appear to have made, if possible,
'lot only extra but extraardinary exertions to diwinguish it, by pre-
knting indisputably the amplest, the most cle irly arranged, and the
tlost conspicuous and utilitarian c9mpilation of the kind tha is
-
'own to the world. Its multifarious merits are such that it is an
!!!'eutial, not only to the commercial community of London, and
all the millions' who are in communication or connexion with this

To THE LADIZS.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news
oper on Aug. 7, 1146. Reader, remember, this letter was put lot
he paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this maw-.
unity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Elerhary, High-
ate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having coni-
aletoly restored the hair on her head, after using itabont four months,
Ind the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
Tever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to-the virtues of Mr. G.'s
.tegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
m l I s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
erience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ace, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet pertUmeiti far
eyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure is answering any
my of respectability to the abovefact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w
i:ops en the crown et the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
cut the hair from coming away with the comb, mime it strong, and
revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
w drops en your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
i
lair brilliancy, causing it to curl.

The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
nest aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
dour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
ss the toilet. In cases 01 nevous headache, pour for or twelve drops
m the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
lour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
tair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
leads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
sent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See

O! FOR CALIFORNIA!

As thousands are off to the regions of gold,
To dig up their fortunes—or so we are told,
We cannot do better—we would not do less—
Than wish them sincerely triumphant success.
But still there are others at home, and we trust
They will meet speculations more sate than gold dust.
In London there's money profuse to be made,
If you study the shops now devoted to trade.
At YAM'S alone, 36, Graeechurch-street,
You may save half your gold, with approval complete ;
For his wonderful C othing has gained such renown,
'Tis the cheapest and best you will find in the town ;
Whilst for Mats and for Caps, Sh;rts, Collars, and [lose,
The lowest in point of small profits he goes.
He's the " West-end" in style, but the " East" in his price—
Thus the wishes of all he can nobly suffice.
