LITERARY GAZETTE. DECEMBER 9, 1848.

Two thousand and eighty-eight pages comprise this ♦olume,
which, we believe, we may safely affirm, could only relate to Eng-
land and be made in England ; for all the world besides could not
sanply 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 euloglam. 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, ma-
mercial, legal, parliamentary, courtly, and other information
which may be required for comveniency, business, or pleasure, in
this unbounded Babylon of ours, 'is here; most useful and complete
in every branch and department.

POST-OFFICE 1:01113 ON DIRECTORY,
for 1849, being the Fiftieth Annual Publication, Is now pub-
lishing in 2,(00 royal octavo paces, price 36s ; Smallar Edition, 156.
It has already received the following highly gratifying notice in
the leading Metropolitan Journals:—

SUN, NOVEMBER 30, IS-18.

The year 1849 Is the jubilee of this most useful, most meritorious,
and most carefully compiled work of reference. It is now just half a
century since the " Post-office London Directory" first became a
Candidate for public favour, and for many years it waged an unequal
War with other publications of a similar character. Fortunately,
however, for the public, it became, in 1836, the property of its pre-
sent proprietor, who, with that energy and enterprise which, in
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, commands success, determined
to make it in reality what it was in name—a directory and guide to
the streets, the professions, and the trades of London—to make it a
Mirror of the metropolis of the commercia world. To accomplish
this, neither pains nor expense were spared ; the work was extended
to nearly double the usual size, accuracy was secured by establishing
a system of collecting information, and a system of checking and
comparing the results of the information thus collected. A map of
,I-Alidolt was added; and thus the " Post-office London Directory,"
ul the greater extent and greater accuracy of its information, and by
the mere luck, arrangement of its contents, was enablesl to drive
every rival frora the field.

TEE TIMES, 'NOVEMBER 30, 1848.
The volume for the approaching year, 1849, being the 50th volume
of this publication, has just been published by Messrs. Kelly and Co.,
of Old Roswell-court. This volume contains all the matter which
enriched those of the present and preceding years, with all such hn-
Irovements as increased activity of research and careful investiga-
tion can supply. It appears to be as accurate a compilation for the
offices, trades, occupations, and residences of thousands of persons
as the most minute inquiry and the most methodical arrangement
can furnish. Perhaps no book more effectually answers the purposes
for which it is intended than this does. It is necessarily a bulky
Volume; but its hulk, contrary to the general rule, is an advantage,
and it may be said to contain no superfluous pages whatever. It is
well printed, and well got up, and has a map of London prefixed to
it, which will be found useful. The proprietor has had for many
years an arduous task in carrying out his object, but his labours have
terminated in complete success. He has conferred a benefit on the
11"11c, and. It is their duty, as well as their interest, to patronise his

Mr. lirrctuNs-1 think this is a case which shows the
absolute necessity of requiring a security from every
clerk to a public company, however strongly he may be
recommended, or however well he may be connected.
The motion was then put and unanimously agreed to;
the dividend was declared; add Messrs. F. Maubert and
Josiah Wilson, the two retiring directors, were unani-
mously re-appointed.
M. MAIJBEILT suggested the advisability of the direc-
tors considering the irophety • of reducing the interest
on the company's bonded debt to four per cent. Their
security was one of such a character as was rarely to be
met with in this country; and he thought they would,
in these times, have no difficulty in obtaining money at
four per cent.
Thanks were then severally voted to the Chairman and
directors, and to the secretary (Mr. Adson), and the
meeting broke up.

The rebuilding of the singular wooden church at
Greenstead, in this county, is now nearly completed,
and the edifice, it is expected, will he open for Divine
service in the middle of next month. Those who feel
a veneration for the relics of bygone days will find, we
are glad to learn, that the ancient edifice has been pre-
served in its struc',ure to the fullest extent possible, the
expense being principally defrayed by the Rev. Philip
Ray. the worthy rector. Mr. Wyatt, the architect, has
carefully preserved every available portion of the old
timber,

TROTTING.

Yesterday was the day appointed for the trial of pace
between Mr. W. Lamb's brown mare and Mr. Owen
Swift's ditto, two miles, in harness, for 501. a-side. We
were not surprised, knowing the sporting prestige at-
tached to at least one of the contracting parties, to see a
thronged attendance of " familiar faces." The betting,
which ranged from 6 to 4 to 2 to 1, on Mr. Lamb's
animal, augured a " square" match, as there could be
no second opinion as to the intention of mine host of
the " Horseehor," to win if he could. At hall-past
three the prads went up to the starting point, the
twelfth milestone on the Staines road, the trot being
thence towards Hounslow. Mr. L.'s mare, an aged
animal, said to be fast verging on the last of her teens,
was fully a hand higher than the quadruped on which the
investment of the erewhile " wonder" of the light weights
was risked. The start was all in favour of Swift's
animal, who was steered by Mr. G. Lawrence ; while
Mr. Lamb's tooled by Bartley, was fretful, and rose in
a style that betokened anything but the sweet qualities
of her owner's namesake. Owen's nag went off at a
moderate pace, and had covered nearly 100 yards
before Bartley had steadied his flyer to a trot. IN, hen
she did go, however, it was clear enough that " the race
was not to the Swift," in both its meanings, but that,t asle
to the rate of going, the affair was " all over but
shouting." Mr. Lamb's mare shot

BARCLAY'S ASTHMATIC CANDY has, for
many years, been proved an effectual preservative from the
ill effects of the Fogs and Damp Air, which, in the Winter Season,

preserve the Stomach from the admission of Damps, and to relieve
those who suffer from Difficulty of Breathing. Prepared only by

_AgL
DUBLIN IMPROVEMENT BILL

Mr. REYNOLDS moved the second reading of this
Bill.

Mr. GROGAN objected to the second reading of the
Bill, and trusted that the Hon. Member for Dublin
would not put the House to the trouble of dividing upon
it, inasmuch as the question involved was the same as
that which was mooted in the last.
Mr. REYNOLDS felt bound to persevere in moving
the second reading of the Bill. Thewholo of the oppo..
sition to this Bill was nothing more or less than a fac-
tious opposition, got up for the sake of serving the pur-
poses of a party, and without any public benefit whatever
for its object; yet, however needless the grounds of its
proceedings, if persisted in it must cost his fellow-citi-
zens upwards of .5,000/., and he did not see why they
should be put to that expense.—(Hear.) The Right
Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth, whose name he
never used in that House but with the utmost respect—
(lronical cheers)—that Right Hon. Gentleman had pro-
mised to extend to his country all the advantages of
municipal rights which were enjoyed in this country.—
(Hear, hear.) But how had his supporters kept that
promise? Thank God he was not a man of bad temper
—(Laughter)—but if he had been, certainly this opposi-
tion would have been quite sufficient to excite it.
The House did not dare to refuse to the towns and
cities of England the right of managing their own local
affairs, but because Dublin was on the other side of St.
George's Channel they refused to extend that principle
to her. He should, however, be greatly disappointed if
the House postponed the second reading of this Bill.
Read the Bill then, and ho would promise them that it
should not go into Committee before the opponents had
had an opportunity of getting up their case.—(Hear.)
Sir JOHN YARDE BULLER regretted that the
Hon. Gentleman would not consent to the postponement
of the Bill, which, so long as feeling ran so high upon
these measures for improving the town of Dublin, he
doubted whether any good would result from referring
all these Bills to the same Committee. He trusted, how-
ever, the Hon. Gentleman would not put the House to
the trouble of dividing upon this occasion.
Mr. REYNOLDS acceded to this request, and
The motion for the postponement was agreed to with-
out a division.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
Ale Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis
putirig a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p sid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for tile first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER qIIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without haring to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 95 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission er Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three 'ninths after proof of the death of

It was rumoured at Vienna that, in consequence
of the entrance of the Russians into Transylvania,
PUCHNER had been reinforced by the Austrian gar-
risons of the towns in which the Russian troops are
stationed, and had attacked and defeated the corps of
Bast. Bast himself, it was said, was killed, having
had both his legs shot off in the engagement.

A R R I A G E.
Ltll One half the world are desolately single, and the other
3apposhig thorn married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
o:tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
:omprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
end broken health, are the great hindrances to demeetie happiness
end social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
aement. Honour and justice demand that health sheuldform an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound mere sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern yet, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., le.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
ttey are offered as antagonistic te the empyrical trash put forth en
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. 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 te be Nappy." They are not merely
pemphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
lie, who owes his prevent existence, health, and position to this ob-
,orvance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
m the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of

PRUSSIA.

The German Reform of Berlin of the 24th ult. says
—" Very intimate relations exist between the Prussian
Government and the English Ambassador. All the
most important state papers are communicated to
him. Such great intimacy between the two Cabinets
has not existed since the death of Frederick the
Great ; and it causes the belief that a treaty has
been, or is about to be, concluded between Great
Britain and Prussia, to counterbalance the alliance
between Russia and Austria."
London, England, 1849-03-03

ITALY.

The POPE has made a collective demand on Austria,
Spain, Naples, and France, for a collective interven-
' tion to restore him to his temporal authority. Sar-
dinia, it will be perceived, is excluded, and that not-
withstanding the King of SARDINIA was the first to
offer assistance to his liontriEss. Both CriARLE,
ALBERT and the Sardinian nation consider this
marked exclusion as an intentional insult, and the
KING has, in consequence, forwarded an indignant
protest against the proposed intervention to all the
Powers of Europe.

The POLICIES aro INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
she Company being prohibited, by the 84th claupe of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p yid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little nio*e than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER lIIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 55 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor Is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life
Tie usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons,
pproved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in
connexion with this Company.
