POSTAL DIRECTORY. ONE SHILLING.
Just Fublished, the Supplement to the " Pest Office London
Directory for 1819," which, in addition to the mere supplemen'al
matter, contains the " Postal " and " Parliamentary Directories
exactly as in the complete work. As the Supplement extends to
upwards of an hundred closely-printed Imperial Octavo pages, it is
cola at nearly the same proportionate price as the " Post Office
London Directory" itself, which, as stated in an able Review of the
hook fur the cur- ent year, published in the " Times" on the 30th of
Noveirb2r last, " 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." The " Post Office Lon-
don Directory " is, beyond all comparison, the cheapest work which
is Ties from the p ess, taking mere s'za into consideration, and
without reference to the various classifications, and other matters too
numerous to be detaid d here. This Directory was characterized by
the " Examiner," of the 18th of December last, as a " perfect marvel
of arrangement, accuracy, and fulness of information." And the
•` Morning Herald" of the 30th of the prey:l:ins month, likewise re-
viewing* the " Post Office London Directory for 1849," described it
as " an authoritative Directory of the capital •f Great Britain,
laughing rivalry to scorn." The " Supplement" now published at
the price of one shilling, contains the " Postal Directory," furnish-
ing all the regtfations of the Post Office as affecting the receipt and
dispatch of letters to the five th•usand principal places througheut
the world, copious Money Order infOrmation, &c., &c., lee., and the
" Parliamentary Directory," likewise contained in this " Supp'e-
ment," furnishes the usual information with reference to Pests and
Members of the llouse of Commons. •

Likewise, price las.. the "Post-office London Directory for 1849,"
containing "Official Directory," "Commercial Directory," "Court
Directory," " Parliamentary Directory," " Postal Directory,'
" Banking Directory," &c., &c. Some copies of the Complete
Post office London Directory for 1a49, price 365., are still on Salo.

LM Ono half the world are desolately single, and the other
,upposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
,ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
eater the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
mesprosing harry ; but the truth liee deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
Ind social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. llonour and justice demand that health sheuld form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
•,eglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
EMOIRS "Oa Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., ls.
each (by soot, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy mieinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
t)ey are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
•ogether, ere a disgrace to the ago. Furthermore, two other
.ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " 'What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Nappy." They are not merely
rmphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
iervance of the maxims he would inculcate--to do unto others as ho
would be done unte—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
m the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

THE LOTTERY OF MARRIAGE.—That marriage is
a lottery has long been a proverb, and its universal ac-
ceptation appears to have induced the most talented of
our novel writers, Mrs. Trollope, to exhibit in one of her
graphic and entertaining stories the various chances
whieh are open to all who seek this uncertain source of
speculation. In this new work, we understand, she brings
forward the wealthy marriage, the pious marriage, the
marriage for love, the marriage for ambition, marriages
that are the great prizes of the matrimonial scheme, sad
marriages that are perfect blanks. In the hands of a
novelist so familiar with the different phases of society
such a subject will no doubt furnish one of the most en-
tertaining novels that have appeared for a long while.—

Mr. Benjamin Mackie, to Professor Holloway, dated
Creenagh, near Loughall, September 11, 1848:—" Re-
spected Friend,—l feel it only an act of justice to thy-
self to state, that I have personally experienced the
benefit of thy excellent Pills and Ointment, in the cure
of an inveterate cough and asthma, which afflicted me for
three years to such an extent that I was obliged to walk
about my room at night, afraid of suffocation if I went
to bed. I then tried thy invaluable medicines, which I
am pleased to say have perfectly cured me."—Sold by all

tameable, and of a too roving disposition, presenting
as they did some of the finest specimens of the daring
of the British character, to go into the workhouse or any
place where they would be deprived of their liberty, or
put under strict control. He remembered addressing an
acute and intelligent youth who was about to leave the
House of Correction after six months imprisonment, and
saying to him, " Now, you won't do the like again, will
you?" The boy, withl an arch look which he would
never forget, replied, " Oh, sir, you don't know what it
is to dodge a policeman." "What do you mean?" he
inquired." " Why, we go out in the morning and if we
see a gentleman we twig him down the next street, and
perhaps we meet a policeman, who says, ' You young
rogues, what are you about? ' We still follow the gen-
tleman, and the policeman keeps bis eye upon us, until
after some time there is a noise; the policeman turns his
head, and we are out with the handkerchief and off; and
you can't tell the delight there is in dodging a policeman."

INCREASING FORGERIES ON
THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
_ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR, -" An old story!" I think I hear you impa-
tiently cry, and yet it is a paragraph in this evening's
Sun that suggests this communication; and let me ask
you, whilst I appeal to your judgment and feelings as
an influential journalist and guardian of the public in-
terests, whether, from the frequent occurrence lately of
forgeries of Bank of England paper, this serious sub-
j, et does not come before us again with fresh and
pressing interest?
The Liverpool Albion tells us (following upon the
recent circulation of forged notes of the Bank of Eng-
land in Lond.n, Bristol, and other places), that " two
hotel keepers and three publicans" in Liverpool have
just been similarly fleeced—one of these unlucky trades-
men having given 9:. 19s. and a glass of brandy and
water in exchange for one of these torgeries.
Is it enough, I beg to ask, ST, that a paper
circulation should be adequately protected only
to the eyes of bankers, their clerks, and those of
observant and experienced moneyed men? The fact
that, the Bank, after the Ijumerous suggestions which
have been made for the better prevention of forgery,
since the Parliament iry Commission instituted nearly
thirty years ago, has not even yet availed itself of a single
suggested idea for the protection of the public, by ren-
dering their notes something, at least, more difficult of
imitation, is the more puzzling and provoking, because if
it be granted that, to attain inimitability, be like the
search fur the " philosopher's stone," still to render the
operation of the forgery of bank-notes all but practicably
impossible, is, I understand, beyond doubt, very easy—
namely, by merely rendering it necessary for several
individuals to associate to effect a fraud of this descrip-
tion, instead of issuing a note which engravers tell u 3
any one man of tolerable ability can imitate, water-mark
and all!

It is constantly being proved that the boasted paper of
the Bank, however beautiful, is easily to be imitated,
somehow, by artificial means, well enough to pass over
the counter of the tradesmen (mentioned in The Elm) of
the Poultry, King William-street, and the Commercial-
road (who are now sorely exhibiting theforged specimens
in their windows), and the hotel keepers and tradesmen of
Bristol and Liverpool. That point should now at least
be;allovved to be a settled fact, as these victims can vouch
to their cost. The triple paper, proposed and patented by
the late Sir W. Congreve, could not possibly have been
imitated iby any artificial process; that also is a fact
which I believe has never been denied, and papermakers
are very unlikely people to associate with forgers. Why,
then, is not this patent triple-paper of Sir W. Congreve's
invention adopted, or something adopted to compel these
preyers upon the public to go to the manufacturer for
their paper, or rather, as the fact would prove, to go
without it and put a stop to forgery. Is it because the
Bunk cannot afford to incur a little extra expense?
Then as to the writing of the Bank of England notes
as a security, it seenis surprising, but no less strange
than true, that the public in general are exceedingly bad
judges of good writing engraving, even among the middle
and higher classes. Exhibit a piece of superior and nicely
executed writing to a jury of any dozen persons, and I
grant it will apparently be appreciated. They will all
declare to a man, probably, that it is capitally and beau-
tifully executed; but the deuce of it is, as it applies to
security for banknotes, that show these same twelve ob-
servers another piece of very far inferior engraving, and
half of there, probably, will admire that also, and a third
of them, perhaps, pass a very bungling performance in-
deed as good work; hence, no doubt, the multiplication of
the advertising cheap engraving shops, which exist from
the public want of discernment. Thus, with an easily
imitable piece of writing and vignette, and an easily
imitable water-mark, the trading public are very neatly
plundered, and will continue to be so, by the operltions
of the 'cute gentlemen or gentleman, who, probably,
laughing in his sleeve, keeps himself ensconced in his
secret garret, combining in his one rascally carcase, the
efficiency of a trinity of operators—the engraver, printer
and papermaker.
I positively declare to having heard country bankers
admit, that, although offering adequate security to them-
selves, they really do not think the Bank of England
note sufficiently protected for the public circulation, and
I expect this is a very general opinion among hankers.
Then why not alter it? Country bankers, with !en
exceptions, afford it; cannot the Bank of England do so?
I am respectfully, Sir, yours,
A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.

IRELAND.
TO THE EDITOR OF TILE SUN.

Sits,—l❑ my letter signed "A Grand Juror," about a
fortnight ago, I gave you some particulars of the de-
plorable state of this city. Even since then things have
become worse and worse. Trade we have none, save that
in foreign breadstuffs. The condition of our shoplie, pers
is truly pitiable. Bowed down by heavy rates, they are
doing no business whatever. One man, who for In rIY
years has supported his family respectably, informed me
this day that for the last fortnight the receipts of his
shop were one shilling !
With matters thus, in the first commercial city in
Ireland, you may well imagine the state of the rural
districts.

In the Bantry Union, of which the population is now
reduced from 50,761 to about 38,000, the number of in-
mates in the workhouse last week was 2,331, and the
number receiving out-door relief 9,850, being a total of
12,181, or nearly one• third of the entire population.
This union is bankrupt, depending on the weekly re-
mittance of the Commissioners for its maintenance, and
owing 7,0001. to the traders and shopkeepers of the town
of Bantry, many of whom will become paupers if this
debt remain much longer unpaid.
In the Skibbereen Union, of which the population,
104,508 in 1841, is now reduced to less than 80,000, the
numbers in the workhouse are 3,734, on out-door relief
lists 15,748, being a total of 19,537, or about one-fourth
of the entire population. This union too is bankrupt,
owing a iebt of over 6,0001., and without one penny in
the treasurer's hands. Ono of the guardians informed
my correspondent this week that they are afraid to
strike a rate lest the farmers now remaining should cmi-
grate! Your English readers are probably not aware of
the nature of our out-door relief; simply one pound of raw
Indian meal per day to each adult, and half a pound to
children! Many of the unfortunate creatures have no fuel
to prepare it, and eat it raw. Thus, amongst the several
casts of death by starvation, in the Cork Examiner of
last evening, we find it stated in the course of the
i❑quest on Mary Nolan, found dead at the gate of the
Tralee workhouse, on Saturday morning, that "on a
post mortem examination, by Dr. Alton, there was
nothing but a few grains of raw Indian meal found in
her stomach! " The weekly cost of out-door relief to
15,748 human beings in the Skibbereen Union is only
3241. 18s. lid. or sd. each! And yet this paltry sum,
inzufficient for more than one day's relief, is
far more than the union can afford. A corrsspondent
of the Cork Examiner writes thus from Skibbereen,
April 16:—

"No rate struck—credit of the board nearly gone—
unwillingness on the part of contractors to give
further supplies. Some thousands have been lately
struck of the out-door relief lists, by an order or re-
solution of the board of guardians, limiting the classes
to be relieved out of the house. Hundreds of the poor
creatures thus struck off, though recommended by their
respective relieving officers for admisssion into the poor-
house, and though having repeatedly applied for
admission, have been excluded in consequence of
the over-crowded state of the house. Hundreds
of all ages and of all sexes, who have travelled,
some 10, some 20, some 30, some 40, and
some 50 miles. seeking admission into the workhouse in
vain, have been obliged to sleep in the fields, in the
ditches, and in the streets of Skibbereen 1"
The population of the whole country is fearfully
thinned. Thus, in Ktlmoe (Skibbereen Union) the
number of inhabitants-8,000, in 1841—is ROW under
1,500.
The tide of emigration flows fast. A gentleman
coming into town from Bandon, one day last week,
passed no less than 40 cars, full of emigrants, and their
effects, on the road. At one particular point he over-
took a line of 17 of these cars, and met at the same time a
melancholy procession coming in the opposite direction—
the bodies of ten paupers, carried out from the workhouse
for interment 1 The great mortality of our workhouses
is easily accounted for by the fact, that many of the
paupers do not apply for admission until they are ex-
hausted by starvation, beyond recovery.
The number of ragged, starving eountry paupers in
our streets is really appalling. I confess it puzzled me
for some time to find out where they all cam. from, for I
conceived that the pauperism of the Western districts of
our country had been swept almost entirely away by the
famine and fever of 1846-7. But on close inquiry this
week I find that those squalid, emaciated creatures,

FEMALE EMIGRATION.—About 200 young Irish
females arrived at Plymouth on Friday, and they will
leave that port early this week for Australia. They are
a fine set of young women, and will be a valuable ad.
dition to the colony of Port Phillip, where females are
much wanted. These will be sent out by the Colonial
Land and Emigration Commissioners in the New Liver.
