SUN, Nov. 18,1846.

The present is the forty-eighth annual edition of the " Post-office
London Direetory," and a truly marvellous effort of compilation It
Is. The " Post-office Directory" has been for some years under
the management of Mr. Kelly. Until he became the manager of
this Work, there were divers other Directories in the field. They
have, however, all disappeared, and the " Post-office Directory"
now rules alone. This astonishing success, however, has not bad
the effect of making the proprietor of this gigantic work careless.
Re is tee thorough a man of business not to be perfectly aware
that the fruits of his success can only be reaped by a continuance
of the same untiring energy by which the success was in the first
instance achieved, and accordingly we find that the " Pest-office
Directory" for 1847, is even more highly finished in all its elaborate
arrangements than any former edition of the book. The extent and
tuinmeness of the details furnished, render the work indispensable
to every cerninercial and mercantile establishment. So admirably,
however, is this multifarious information digested and arranged, that
there is not the slightest difficulty experienced in referring to the
articular page required to furnish the information—a marvellous
',stance of clearness of arrangement In a w ork consisting of upwards
of two thousand closely but clearly printed octavo pages. This
Directory is certainly the most complete work of the sort ever
offered to the public. Of not only the usefulness, but the indispen-
sable necessity of such a work, no man of business can for a moment
entertain
a doubt ; and considering the completeness and fulness of
_ informaticn furnished, and the enermous outlay of time and o
capital that must have been made in order to acquire and digest the
n'ibnostion the very reasonable price at which the work 13 published
r
°4l-IY wonderful.

GLOBE, Nov. 21, 1846.
JSlsilY's invaluable work, the " Post-office Directory," has just
"`e 14 appearance for the ensuing year. The vast mass of infor-
Illation which this book contains, makes it not only desirable but
11b$01h4tly necessary as a part of the office furniture of every man of
'niftiness ; and scarcely less necessary, indeed, for every one else,
"who requires to know anything concerning the trades, professions,
the localities of the great metropolis. In its present extended form,
, book is an absolute curiosity; the labour and expense which it
.93 colt to bring it to its present state of perfection mast have been
tthuiense. In turning over its two thousand pages, one hardly
Knows which most to be strack with and admire—the excellent
arrangement and utility of such a compilation, or the magnitude of
the city which requires such a directory. The volume, moreover,
Ontaias an excellent map of London and the suburbs, corrected
down to the latest strides of " becks and mortar."

WEEKLY DISPATCH, Nov. 15, 1846.
The ftey-eighth annual publication of this highly-important and
%sena work has just been Issued ; and we must confess that its
bulky appearance has surprised us not a little; and when we reflect
that the pries remains unaltered, although the expense of collecting
the inaferiais must have increased, we are pleased at the liberality
of Mr, Relay; tbstpraprietor. In a commercial point of view, per-
haps, ao book ever contained so mach useful matter. Among other
iafor►natiost, there is as " Official Directory," a " Street Directory,"
a" Commercial Directory." a " Trades' Directory,'• a " Law Direc-
tory," a " court Directory," a " Parliamentary Directory," a " City
Directory,' a " Conveyance Directory," and a " Ranking Direc-
tory,"—in fact, the volume contains much that is interesting and
Valuable to the tradesman, the merchant, the lawyer, and pen na in
ordinary life, as well as to the gentleman who occasionally dabbles in
trade. Every description of information has been corrected to
the latest Pdisible period, and that information is arranged with a
clearness and simplicity which must have involved great activity of
mind and exertion of body. Sewed with the book Is an excellently
engraved Map of-London, mere extended and accurate as to the
enburbe than any map we have seen ; and to make it as complete a
reference as possible, an almanac is introduced. In the " Postal
Directory" there are the new rates with various parts of the Con-
tinent which will come into operation on the Ist of January.
Altogether this new issue surpasses any of its predecessors ; and we
are net surprised that other Directories should have gone to the
blab of all the Capulets.
BRITA.NITIAI, r0v.21, 1646.

'The French people have done themselves some credit by their in-
dastrial expositions. But It must be acknowledged that, though in-
genious and pretty, they appear quite insignificant compared with
lba Industrial exposltson presented to the mind by this mighty
lume. Keeping pace with the advancing trade and population of
Louden, it still increases in bulk, and keeping pace with the move-
Ment of society in a more important particular, it vigilantly seizes
nal7 epportunity of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy
and more complete classification. We find in this volume many in-
atances of superiority to former issues, which, though comparatively
show the intelligence ind care exercised over every depart-
'gent. It may be mentioned, that by the employment of private
agents, the changes of residence are new brought down to a later
Petted than formerly, and the. value of the " Directory" is conse-
rnt* enhanced. We have before spoken of it as indispensable to
proper management of business. Its authority is now so univer-
bm/ established, both at the Post-ogice and throughout the metro-
`.."l, that any Maher recommendation of it is superfluous.

ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 28, 1846

This huge volume, the (forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus-
tains the reputation enjoyed by the " Directory" of late years. In
the preface the proprietor maintains that the high character of the
work is tilt referable to its mere connexion with the Post-office;
for an important change has been gradually introduced info the man-
ner of collecthy; the information ; and a larger portion of the work
than heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely uncon-
nected with the Post-office, this being, in great part, the plan of
compiling the editions for 1845 and 1846. Nor has the proprietor
rested coatclit with his past success, but has introduced many impor-
tant alterations in this volume for 1847, awl added to its bulk with-
out any increase of price. Ihe ' Postal Directory' is especially im-
proved, and there are numerous changes throughout the volume, to
insure its completeness. The compilation must be a vast labour, to
be accomplished only by systematic subdivision and the most pains-
taking minuteness. The appearance of the volume has suggested a
very lively effusion, to he seen in another column; and we trust the
enterprising proprietor of the "Directory" will .d that his labours
are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial
country this is an indispensable volume.
RAIL u•itY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846.
The mew volume of the Post-olice Directory for 1847 is already
in our hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work so
laborious, extensive, and mieute, could bo in any degree improved.
It would have been a sufficient merit to have maintained its former
reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. The pro-
duction of a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has
placed in the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and
indispensable aid in carrying an the business of this vast metropolis,
which would indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and
expense if it were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our
readers will have an opportunity of judging for themselves on pur-
chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is is any
degree exaggerated.
lIERAPATIO4 RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846.
The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and
improvements ty.on its valuable predecea•or. but with no enlarge.
ment in the price. Tht continued enterprising spirit with which
this important, and it is hot a misapplication of terms to say,
national work is conducted, merits the highest commendation We
know net whether the same illiberal and unjustifiable attempt will
be made in the ensuing session as was dons in the last, to wrest it
from the hinds of the present proprietary, and to plate it by the
force of might over right in the possession of Government. But
should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its eon-
doctors will go home to the consciences, if they have any, of the
parties seeking to draw down the grasping interference of Govern-
ment. "It can only be necessary to refer to a copy of the work pub-
lished before the purchase of the copyright by its present proprietor,
to be convinced that the mere connexion of the ' Directory' With
the Post-office has little, if at all, contributed to its present high cha-
racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un-
wearied toll and application on the part of those engaged in the corn-
pilationof the work) are duly appreciated, is now happily beyond all
question; prior to the ' Directory' passing tO tts present proprietor,
rival books contended successfully with this. They have disappeared."

PORT OF LONDON SHIPOWNERS' LOAN
AND ASSURANCE COMPANY.
Offices, 20, ST. 11 ELEN'S-PLACE, LONDON.
The Deed of Settlement of this Company having been approved by
the Registrar, and the number of Shares prescribed by the Act having
been subscnbed for, the Directors will proceed upon the Ist of May
next, ensuing, to issue Sea Policies under their Common Seal.
For the effectual protection of both shareholders and the assured,
the constitution of this Company is based on the principle of limit-
ing the amount entertained In and upo i ln.dividual vessels, or their
cargoes, in rateable proportion to the capital subscribed, and remain-
-I,ig clear in hand according to a graduated scale, constructed with the
greatest care, thereby securing a wide and equalised distribution of
outstanding risks, to the entire exclusion of gambling profits, and
ruinous losses, from both sides of the account.
Under special clauses inserted in the Deed, no single Insurance.
for the space of twelve months, from the date of issuing the first
Policy, will exceed 5001. For the space of three years from the same
date the limit has been fixed at 1,0001.; and for the space of seven
years at 1,5001.,—a method of proceeding obviously calculated to
ensure a steady and remunerative business, and avoid the disastrous
results incidental to an opposite system.
A list of the Board of Directors, of the officers of the Company,
and of the Agents appointed for the outports, will be given in the
Prospectuses, which will be published after the complete registration
of the Company has been legally effected.

NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE
ASSURANCE COMPANY OF LONDON.
`UNITED KINGDOM LIFE SSURANGE
COMPANY,
No. IS, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.
The attention et Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance
Company of London, is particularly called to the Half-Credit Scales
of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de-
clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Company's
affairs, in January, 1850, may b" secured at a present annual payment
of one half the rates generalb ah vged by other companies. In the
event of death the sum insur d 71.11 be paid, after deduction of the
other half of the rates. Slics..4 t Le life insured survive the decla-
ration of the bonus, the policy ma • be allowed to lapse, and the
Company will renounce all claim fe • the half premiums which may
be due thereon ; or. in the mat of the party being at that time
in bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of
the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with
this Company. was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division
of profits in the Equitable Assurance Company in 1840, when it
was largely adopted, and many of the policies then effected are
still in force, and large bonuses have been added to them on the
scale of the following table :

REMARKABLE CASE of RES !'ORATION.
A striking instance of the power of scientific art to remedy
the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls,
a gentleman residing nt Wortham, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842,
on returnin,• frOm I arlestone 'Market to Weybred, where he then re-
..

3ided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill-
ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con-

.inued to come off, till he became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly
bald as if his head had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel,
then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for
his lost nail*. under these cireuxect*3)e" 1a 1 Y#u indueed to try the
effect of ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, sad it is highly gratifying
to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was
used the growth recommenced, and he has now to boast of a very
thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity,
that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl,
the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly
for itself to require observation.—ltell's Messenger.

Northamptonshira, March 14, 1846.
" Sir, —I feel
the it a duty vrhich I owe to yourself and the public to
aform you of great benefit which I have derived by taking
Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills. During several years I wu fro'
quently laid up by attacks of gout, being unable to attend to business
for months at a time. I had often been advised to try Blair's Pills,
but it was not until a friend pressed them upon
that I was in-
duced to take them, and from which I found speedy relief. This is
several years ago, but I continue to take them whenever an attack
comes on, and am thereby enabled quickly to resume my business.

MY AGREEMENT WITH MOSES AND
SON.
Messrs. MOSES and SON, and myself, you must know,
Enter'd Into agreement a few years ago ;
This agreement, of course, was a mutual bond,
Which equally called upon each to respond.
I eannot remember all, word for word,
But as much as I can shall be willingly heard.
We promise (said MOSES and SON) to supply
The very best clothing whenever you buy;
We agree, and we pledge our word to the bond,
That the cloth shall be such as may closely be conn'd
We bind ourselves down (said E. MOSES and SON),
That the fit and the make shall ne'er be ouitlone.
We pledge that the workmanship always shall stand
Without any fracture, as witness our hand.
And we furthermore promise to try each endeavour
To sell all our articles cheaper than ever.
With regard to myself, I agreed not to go
To any but MOSES and SON'S famed dep6t.
I promised to buy all my articles there,
As I thought the agreement was all fair and square.
Thus you've heard the agreement, which ne'er has been broken,
Since we've each of us kept every word that was spoken ;
And ne'er have I had to regret what I've done
In making agreement with MOSES and SON.

LONDON ASSOCIATION OF EAT-
ING-HOUSE AND COFFEE-HOUSE KEEPERS.

The members of this excellent association, which pays
particular respect to the aged and the decayed of their
number, assembled last night in the Freemasons Tavern,
in-a sat down, together with their friends, to dinner; Sir
Benjamin Hall in the chair. Every arrangement for
the delight or convenience of the guests seemed to be
appreciated to their full extent by all present. After
dinner the Non no/is was sung, and the usual toasts in
honour of her Majesty, the Prince, and the Royal
Family, and the Army and Navy, were given with all
the honours.

The Chairman then rose to propose the toast of the
evening. It was " Success to the Association of the
Eating-house and Coffee-house Association." The
Chairman, in introducing the toast, referred to the com-
paratively late increase of the class out of whom rose the
tnembers of the society, who had been in the ratio of
2,000 to 10 during the years since when it first appeared
in society. The Hon. Baronet in the course of his speech
pronounced a high eulogium on the efforts of the coffee-
house keepers to advance the intellectual character of
the people.
Mr. C. LUSRINGTON, who sat on the right of the
Chairman, proposed the Chairman's health, and paid him
a high compliment.

M. COCIIRANE, who sat on the left of the chair, gave
the " Press," and spoke at length upon the reciproca
advantages, which the press and the people equally
received.

Mr. HUMPHREYS then read a report or the finances
of the Society for the year, in which Sir B. Hall ap-
peared for 10/ 10s. ; John Masterton, 51. ss. ; Mr.
Conyfeers, 5/. ss. ; and a nuni'm of others equally
worthy of notice.

After the other usual toasts, the assembly broke up,
entirely satisfied with the entertainments of the evening.
Sorry always to find ourselves lonely, we wore sorry es-
pecially to find that we were obliged to disapprove of the
arrangement, which prevented us by the distance at
which we were compelled to occupy our place, from
hearing either the Chairman or any of bis worthy com-
peers round him. It was with a far different wish we
went to join the celebration of the anniversary of a
noble institution, but if the friends of the Secretary ex-
luded him and the press from the neighbourhood of the
Chairman, they entailed an evil on the public and the
institution which they were met to support.
Only one fact more we stay to mention in justice both
to the chairman and to the guests. Sir Benjamin Hall
having consented to do himself and the company the
honour to take the chair at the anniversary dinner of
this Association, agreed to preside over the assembly at
tire r.ar.

On the afternoon of the assembly, when the guests
were already met at five o'clock, the hour of dinner, a
letter was received from this indefatigable statesman,
informing the guests present that he could not preside
till half an hour past six o'clock. But this hour was
again ushered in by a note, intimating that the Hon.
Baronet would be present in ten minutes thereafter.
We are glad to be able to say that the Hon. Baronet did
come; the guests, moreover, waited his arrival, and sat
down somewhat on the yonder side of seven, instead of
five, o'clock, to what could scarcely be other than a cold
collation.

PHYSICAL VERSUS MoßAL.—Whether the Physi-
cal wants should be remedied through the Moral, or the
Moral through the Physical, has been a question which has
occupied the attention of philosophers and philanthropists
for centuries. Without attempting to decide the question,
there can be no doubt that when the Physical condition is
impaired it demands the first attention. For instance ; a
person whilst suffering from an acute attack of Gout would
be unable to appreciate the sublimest lessons of philosophy,
even though enunciated by the divine Plato. How much
more welcome to the sufferer would be a box of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic Pills, so efficacious in eradicating this
distressing malady.
