DAVIES'S MAPS OF LONDON.— Ir. B. R. Davies
has just engraved and published a map of the
British metropolis, on a large scale, which is the
most complete and correct of the sort that has yet
been presented to the public, inasmuch as it is carried
to a sufficient extent to show the boundaries of the
metropolitan boroughs, the county courts' districts,
and the sewers' districts. There are, besides
the general map, two other editions, the
one coloured to show the county courts' districts,
and the other to show the sewers' districts. Mr.
Davies was employed to map out the sewers' districts
by the Commissioners of Sewers, and had, therefore,
access to every official document which he could
require to make his survey complete.

INSOLVENT POST-OFFICE OFFICIALS.—The Post-
master-General intends issuing a notice that persons in
the employ of the Post-office will be dismissed if they
take the benefit of the Insolvent Act. In peculiar cases,
however, where a person has become insolvent through
sheer misfortune or from the treachery of others, the
Postmaster-General reserves to himself a power to re-
instate such a person in efficc. This notice has been
rendered necessary in consequence of the frequent ap-
pearance of the clerks at St. Martin's-le-Grand in the
insolvent courts, and the almost perpetual blockade of
the points of ingress and egress of the General Post-
office by sheriffs' officers. Some of the stratagems to
elude the vigilance of the blockade are exceedingly
comic, and are oftentimes very effectual, owing to the
nunierous avenues to the interior of St. Martin's-le-
Grand. .

FRANKFORT.

The Post Amps Gazette of the 25th says :
We learn that the Archduke JOHN, Vicar General of
the Empire, received by telegraph yester lay an invi
tation from Berlin to deliver up his power into the
hands of the King of PRussi-A, and to name the day
of his retirement from his high office. It is pretended
that to make the ALCIIDUKE yield, he is threatened
that troops shall be sent here to re-establish order.
The ARMIDUKE persists in his :resolution to deliver
his power into no other hands but those of the National
Assembly.
In the National Assembly of Frankfort, on the
25th, it was announced by the President that the
Assembly still consists of 192 members, hut that the
greater number of them were absent. He proposed
that the latter should be summoned to their posts,
and be considered as having resigned if they should
not return within ten days. The substitutes of the
deputies who had resigned would, it was said, be
summoned to take their places. Several resolutions,
some of a strong character, were either postponed or
referred to a committee. The A ssembly adopted, by
97 votes to 65, resolutions, declaring that the troops
of the States which should refuse to recognise the
National Assembly should be removed from States
faithful to the Constitution, unless indeed they should
take an oath of fidelity thereto.
