SPECTATOR, DECEMBER 2, 1848.

This gigantic volume or business and residential Information has
now completed its half century, or year of jubilee; and is, we sup-
pose, unrivalled in the variety, utility, and precision of its facts.
Upwards of two thousand pages in double and treble columns are
here presented,' touching the names, callings, and abodes •f 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,
_lB4B,

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,
arid, if possible, is more compete in its details than any of its pre-
decessors. Its amplitude and correctness are marvellous ; and that
they are duly appreciatel 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 beiieve, we may safely affirm, could only relate to Eng-
land and be made in England ; for all the world besides could not
ply such matter, nor furnish such means for making it tho-
roughly known and easily found. The production of a newspaper is
a daily wander—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 eulogdem. 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 particulars, but merely say that all official, social, cum.
mercial, legal, parliamentary, courtly, and other information
which may be required for coaveniency, business, or pleasure, in
this unbounded Babylon, of ours, is here; most useful and, complete
in every branch and department.

HERAPATIPS RAILWAY JOURNAL, DECEMBER 9, 1848.
There is no work of the day, in the nature of a compilation,
equal to this, both in regaril to the labour bestowed upon it and
utilly to Vie public. It has new become an authentie'means of en-
abling one part of the inhabitants of this great metropolis to know
the abodes of their fellows.

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 but reasonable to
conclude that its existence will be lonvz and 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 peri.d 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 13 sold re-
munerative for the labour devoted upon it.

TII E POET and the PUMP.
A TALE OF THE EAST.
Where Aldgate Pump suspends its iron bowl,
A far-famed poet took his morning stroll ;
And as he neared the venerable pump,
Which long has braved the weather like a trump,
A stranger s voice in plaintive accents bid
The poet stop— and stop the poet did.
Then turning round to east, west, north and south,
He found the voice was Irons a watery mouth.
" Stay, gentle laureate of the Prince of Trade,
And listen while my few r•-marks are made.
I've often wondered why you never sing
Of ancient Alcigate's celebrated spring.
You need not fear a theme like this to choose,
I would not throw cold water on your muse.
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 Ab bey,
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.
"Bush," 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 sldgate'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 the 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 nrime
ATTIRE.
You know that what I say is strictly true,
Of Dress-coats, Over-coats, and Frock-coats too.
Y in know, as sure as you've an iro,i handle,
That competitien 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 ultitudes of heads 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.
TIE 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!' you'd exclaim ' apart, or in the lump,
No Marts can equal those near Aldgate Pump.' "

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

" Sir,—lt is slow three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During
ene of the paroxpims 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 preyed very 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 bad no return of the complaint.
" I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
may know hew to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
" I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
" MICHAEL NASMYTH."

The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted
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 theta a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past
or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re-
store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They
are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head
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.

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 particular excesses, on
the nature and conseauence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to tke human frame,
than any other to which it is sutiect.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the

their relative
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
in early life or from the follies, of advanced age, while suffering
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
trom 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
ads assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination its 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,
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. as his diplomas
