POSTAL DIRECTORY. ONE SHILLING.
Just published, the Supplement to the " Post Office London
Directory for 1849," which, in addition to the mere supplemen'al
matter, co;dains the " Postal " awl " Parliamentary Directories
exactly as in the complete work. As the Supplement extends to
upwards of an hundred closely-printed Imperial Octavo pages, it is
sold at nearly the same proportionate price as the " Post Office
London Directory " itself, which, as stated in an able Review of the
book for the cur ent year, published In the " 'rinses" ou the 30th of
Noveirbn. 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, ues from the p ess, taking mere s'ae into consideration, and
without reference to the various classifications, and ether matters too
miner .us to be detail, d here. This Directory was characterized by
the " Examiner," of the IGth of December last, as a " perfect marvel
of arrangement, accuracy, and fulness of information." And the
" Morning Herald" of the 30th of the previous month, likewise re-
viewing the " Post Office London Directory for 1849," described it
as " an authoritative Directory of the capital of Great Britain,
laughing rivalry to scorn." The " Supplement" now published at
the price of one shilling, contains the " Postal Directory," furnish-
ing all the regu'ations of the l'ost Office as affecting the receipt and
dispatch of letters to the Ave thousand principal places throughout
the world, copious Money Order information, &e., &c., &c., and the '
" Parliamentary Directory," likewise contained in this " Supp'e-
meet," furnishes the usual information with reference to Peels and
Members of the House of Commons.

Likewise, price 15.5.. the " Post-office London Directory for 1549,"
containing "Official Directory," "COmmerelal Directory," "Court
Directory," " Parliamentary Directory," " Postal Directory,'
" Banking Directory," &c., &c. Some copies of the Complete
Post office London Directory for 1849, price 365., are still on sale.

HUXLEY'S PARISIAN sailiTS.=
There is but one reason to be assigned for the difficulty
experienced by gentlemen in being fitted with Shirts. It is the im-
perect rules hitherto applied to Shirt making. This has led many
gentlemen to suppose the difficulty to arise from some peculiar for-
mation of the neck or chest. Such opinions are most erroneous. It
is essential that a Shirt should set with ease and comfort, the front
remaining smooth with every change of position. 11. and Co
respectfully solicit inspection, and feel, confident of giving satisfac-
tion to every customer.
ll[ XLEY'S REGISTERED SI4IItT COLLAR is guaranteed to fit
the neck without a crease. As the most liberal wages are paid to
the sh:rt hands, superior work can at all times he relied upon.

A E.
INea One half the werid are desolately eingle, and the other
41pposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
:tter the latter. The rolitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
roof/al:rosin harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
densent. Honour and justice demand that health sheuld form an item
in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
eeelect wound snore sorely than poverty er misfortune. Reader, if

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
which 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 th matrimonial scheme, and
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 tor a lung while.—

benefit of thy excellent Pills and Ointment, in the cure
of an inveterate cough and asthma, which afflicted me for

HOLLOWARAGGED SCHOOLS.
The first anniversary of the establishment of this
school was celebrated last evening by a dinner at the
London Tavern. Henry Parnell, Esq.,
the Mi3dlesex Magistrates, presided, and in proposingha
the toast of the evening, alluded to the advantages t
of
would result to the community by the formation'l ivies:
ragged schools; stating that, as they the Chairman of
h"
mainly
tend in
the reformation of juvenile offenders, they wouldn_y
subject could
' d with the
who v% ere intimately acquainted a great degree to the diminution of crime.
juvenile popula-
tioncredit the amount of criminality in the
the Houses of Cor-
o 1 those
Cor-
rection at Westminster and I r
of the metropolis. Last year,. iknenwell, there were
thee age of 17, and out of
neither read nor write.
These youths, who were generally without the guidance
that
tairiudms of
m,7ooroeytohuatnht
Oboe]
of parent or friend, were cast at an early age upon the
streets to get a livlihood, and they were too un-
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
couldwul
put under strict control. He remembered addressing an
acute and intelligent youth who was about to leave the
" Now, you won't do the like again, will
House of Correction after six months imprisonment, and
with an arch look which he would
Iseoyui?n,g toThheim,boy,
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 agentleman
him down the next street, and
" "
we
twig
perhaps we meet a policeman, who says, ' You young
the his
policemaney upon us, until
turns his

rogues, what are you about?" We still follow the gen-
tleman, Ifetienra
alio,
mand
timethe there policeman
ia
a noise;
keeps
head, and we are out with the handkerchief and off; and
you can't tell the delight there is in dodging a policeman."
He only introduced that anecdote to show that some of
those neglected and forlorn children had bright intellects
which would adorn any station if they had been placid
under proper treatment, and received proper instruction.
Mr. Sergeant ADAMS subsequently addressed the
meeting in an able and eloquent speech upon the subject
of juvenile delinquency, in the course of which he stated
that the Larceny Act, which had been lately passed, and
by which magistrates had the power of making sum-
mary convictions, had entirely failed in its object, and
that the number of juvenile offenders had increased since
it came into operation.
The subscriptions amounted to more than 3001. The
musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr.
S. F. Taylor, assisted by .Messrs. Kenny, Morley, and
Williamson, and Mr. Harker made an excellent
ast-
master.

The French Plays and Opera Cornique were last
evening attended by his Excellency the Russian Ambas-
sador, the Baroness Brunnow and Mdllo. Olga de Lech-
tier, his Excellency the Turkish Ambassador and suite,
the Marquis of Douro, the Dowager Marchioness of
Downshire, the Earl of Kilmorey, the Earl of Sand-

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 es
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-
jtct dots not come Le:ore 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 London, Bristol, and other places), that " two
hotel keepers and three publicans" in Liverpool hare
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 forgeries.
Is it enough, I beg to ak, Sir, 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 numerous 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 bo granted that, to attain inimitability, be like the
search fur the "philosopher', 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 us
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 ,Sun) of
the Poultry, King William-street, and the Commercial-
road (who are now sorely exhibiting the forged specimens
in their windows), and the hotel keepers and tradesmen of
Bristol and Liverpool. That point should now a; least
be.allowed 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
Bank cannot afford to incur a little extra expense?
Then as to the writing of the Bank of England notes
as a security, it seems 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 bank•notes, that show these same twelve ob-
servers another piece of very far inferior engraving, and
balf of them, 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 operations
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 tbo 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 few
exceptions, afford it; cannot the Bank of England do so?
I am respectfully, Sir, yours, '
A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.
London, April 17th, 1549.

IRELAND.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In my letter signed "A Grand Juror," :bout 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, sive that
in foreign breadstuffs. The condition of our shoplte: pers
is truly pitiable. Bowed down by heavy rates, they are
doing nu business whatever. Oae man, who for mane
years has supported his family respectably, informed me
this day that for the last fortnight the receipts of his
'hop were one shilling !
With matters thus, in the first commercial city in
Ireland, you may well imagine the state of the rural
district&

In the Bantry Union, of which the population is now
reduced from 50,761 to about 35,000, the number of in
mates in the workhouse last week was 2,331, and the
number receiving out-door relief 9,8,50, being a total of
12,181, or nrarly one-third of the entire popubtior.
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 Skibbercen Union, of which the population,
104,508 in 1841, is now reduced to less than 80.000, the
numbers in the workhouse are 3,784, 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 (ebt of over 6,0001., and without one penny in
the treasurer's hands. One of the guardians informed
my correspondent this we©k that they are afraid to
strike a rate lest the farmers now remaining should emi-
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
cases of death by starvation, in the Cork Examiner of
last evening, we find it stated in the course of the
inquest on Mary Nolan, found dead at the gate of the
Trete° wot khouse, 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 Skibbereon Union is only
324/. 18s. Ild. or sd. each! And yet this paltry sum,
insufficient for more than one day's relief, is
far more than the union can afford. A correspondent
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 off 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 pour
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 !" _ _ _

The population of the whole country is fearfully
thinned. Thus, in Kilmoe (Skibbereen Union) the
number of inhabitants-8,000, in 1841—is now under
i,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 emigrauts, 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 country paupers in
our streets is really appalling. I confess it puzzled mo
for some time to find out where they all cams 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,
more like the tenants of the grave than living beings,
were themselves in comparative comfort two yeafrsratgoe,

FEMALE EMIGRATION. About 200 young Irish
ft males arrived at Plymouth on Friday, and they will
leave that purt early this week for Australia. They are
a fine set of young women, and will be a valuable ad.

(From the Jersey Times of April 17.)
We desire not to rank amid the champions of
Joseph Mazzini, the master. spirit of the extemporised
triumvirate which for a day governs Rome—not to
say the Roman States; but to him, as to every man,
whether in the van or rear of things, we would fain
see justice rendered—and by England, and the press
of England, most especially. But by England, or at
all events by the English press, speaking generally,
justice has not been, but, rather, gross injustice has
been done to 1112tazini. The Times, the powerful
bully of every cause which falls into its line of
adoption, has from the time of the French outbreak
of February, 1848, and indeed for many years pre-
viously, made, what may be familiary styled' " a
dead set" at that able and learned man of political
theories and social dreams. Even while he . was
scarcely heard of beyond the circles of " Young
' Italy," and since the February eruption, even before
his name had whirled up into light from the con-
vulsed depths of the revolutionary maelstrom,
Ilazzini has been the man to whom the Times has,
now directly, now indirectly, pointed as the head
and front of the entire destructive movement of
Europe ; at the same time blackening his name,
character, and deeds, with every kind of detractive
assertion and insinuation, as if they were those of a
designing assassin-like conspirator against the human
weal of every Christian country, against the family
happiness of every Christian hearth.
The estimate of Joseph Mazzini, as a politician
and as a man, is a very false one ; and the conduct
of the writers in the Times is infinitely the more
reprehensible, from the fact that they know that it is
falsehood. The cause to which Mazzini has from
early youth devoted himself, to which he has sacri-
ficed country, family, home, all personal competence
and comfort, to which he has unflinchingly adhered
through exile and sickness and poverty, to which he
has subordinated even his intense love for the pre-
cious relics of Italian art, converting them into the
sinews of government and war, and to which he ,may
be destined soon to devote his last breath of life, be-
fore a musket or on a scaffold—that cause, Mazzini
has ever believed, and still believes, to be the most
greatly just one of the temporal world. The present
head of the Roman Government—if, at the moment
in which we write, Rome have a Government at all
—is a visionist, a mystic ; a believer in (at all events
for long ages yet to come) impossible systems
for the world's government and the perfectability of
human nature and happiness on this earth : all this
Mazzini is; but a dishonest man, a cunning plotter
against the welfare of men and nations, he is not.
For the rest, all human delusions—even generous
ones—bring about their own dire awakening, and
punishment; and Mazzini's future promises to be as
full of disappointment and desolation as his past.
The physical forces at his command must prove as a
broken reed before either the Papal influences or' the
Austrian sword ; the very people whom he has
sought to enfranchise, far beyond their material and
moral capabilities of freedom, will ere long turn upon
and trample him down; and his best fate will be, to
die in the " harness" which he has assumed ; his
worst, to pine away the remainder of his days in a
reinflicted and hopeless exile from his once more
prostrated country.
To such a man, so intending and so doomed, the
great practical onward world of society must na-
turally be severe; but should at the same time be
merciful and just.
