requisite official facilities. As a mere compilation, it is probably the
most wonderful on record.

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 ILA referable to its mere connexion with the Post-office;
for an important change has been gradually Introduced into the man-
ner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the work
than heretofore has been contided 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 content with his past success, but has introduced many impor-
tant alterations in this volume for 1847, and 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 be seen in another column; and we trust the
enterprising proprietor of the " Directory" will find that his labours
are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial
country this is an indispensable volume.
RAILWAY HER tLD, Nov. 21, 1846.
The new volume of the Pest-office Directory for 1847 is already
in our hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work se
laborious, extensive, and minute, could be 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 en 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 en pur-
chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is In any
degree exaggerated.
_ HERAPATIPS RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846.
The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and
Improvements neon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge•
ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which
this important, and it is not 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 done in the last, to wrest it
from the hands of the present proprietary, and to place it by the
force of might over right in the possession of Government. But
should it be attempted, surely the following statement of its con-
ductors 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-effice has little, if at all, contributed to its present high cha-
racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un-
wearied toil and application on the part of those engaged in the com-
pilation of the work) are duly appreciated, is now happily beyond all
question ; prior to the ' Directory' passing to its present proprietor,
rival books contended successfidly with this. They have disappeared."

TH E LIGHTS for FUTURE DAYS.
All can now be pleased, whatever is desired in Light. The
PEARL C kNDLE LAMP is the perfection of Candle Lights, and
must succeed ; its simplicity myriads will admire. To sell the ordi-
nary Candle Lamps is now impossible—the public have long enough
been pestered with such rubbish.
The DIAMOND CARCEL OIL LAMP is the best oil light in the
world. The Carcel Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe; this
is sufficient guarantee for all—it never will be out-done.
The STARLIGHT NIGHT LIGHT is a beautiful little light to
illumine the bedchamber. All other night lights will be used no
more; its economy and simplicity all will admire, for what can be
desired more than perfection? To what conclusion cax we come?
Certain, henceforward the only lights will be—the Sun, the mighty
gem of Heaven by day ; the Pearl and Diamond Lights at evening ;
and the Star at Right, to illumine the British territory, burning con-
tinually at CLARK'S, the immense LAMP DEPOT, 447, West
Strand, ten doors from Lowther Arcade.

Sir,—l cannot resist informing you .f the extraordinary effect that
I have experienced by taking only a few of your Lozenges. I had a
cough for several weeks, that defied all that had been prescribed for
me ; and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half a small
box of your Lozenges, which I find are the only ones that relieve the
cough without deranging the stomach or digestive organs.
I am, Sir, your humble servant,
P. HAWKER.

Dusum, FRB. 17.—The following melancholy details of the
rapid progress of starvation in the west are copied from the
Mayo Constitution of yesterday:—
" In the neighbourhood of Newport, on Sunday morning
last, a poor man, named Mulloy, was found on the road side.
His emaciated frame betokened that his death was the result
of want. He was a native of Burrishoole. On Friday last
a poor man died at Deradda, near Newport, of actual hunger,
leaving a family to follow in rapid succession. On Saturday
a poor man was also found expiring from exhaustion at Roos-
keen, and notwithstanding relief being brought, the poor man
died, food having come too late! In the neighbourhood of
Breaffy, near this town, the following deaths have oc-
curred from starvation an 4 disease-Michael M'Enally, of
Roemon, on the 12th ; Peter Swords, of Derrinacrisharn,
on the 12th; his wife on the 12th; James Gavan, of
Ballysbawn, on the Bth ; his wife on the 10th. All these
cases proceeded from dysentery and exhaustion. On Sun-
day, the 7th instant, Mr. Atkinson, coroner, held an inquest
on the body of Patrick Maughan, at Coonanarrow. The
deceased has left a family, who are in the most indigent
state. The jury verdict was—' Death by starvation.' In
this village there is not a family that do not appear likely to
fall victims to famine. On the same day, on the body of
James Brislane, at Kilcrimmin. The deceased was put on
the public works a few days previous to his death, and was
hastening on Saturday evening to the office of the pay-clerk,
but being very weak from want of food, he fell en the way,
and was found dead next morning. Verdict—' Death by
starvation.' On Monday, the fith, on the body of Pat How-
ley, at Saltfield. The deceased was employed on the public
works, and was found lying on the road, where he had fallen,
by a person passing by; when removed to the nearest habi-
tation he died shortly after. Verdict—' Death by starvation.'
On the same day, on the body of William Sheridan, at
Cloonta. The deceased had been in a great state of destitu-
tion, and going from one village to another he fell into a
small rivulet which he attempted to cross, and from his de-
bility was unable to extricate himself! Verdict—' Death by
drowning, but attributed to starvation.' This coroner states
there were twelve more inquests reported in his district, bat
which from indisposition he has been unable to attend. Dur-
ing the past week Mr. O'Grady, coroner, held inquests on
the following persons:—Anne Philbin, Patt Hannon, Francis
Gannon, Jordan Morrisroe, Anne Teatum, Patrick Carey,
Thomas Costello, Constantine Muller, John Mulloy, Bridget
Mulloy. In each of these cases the verdict returned was—
' Death from starvation.' "

In the same paper there is giTen an account of a most
atrocious murder which was perpetrated on the night of the
11th inst., about four miles to to the west of Louisburgh :7

"It appears that two sisters, named Mary and Honor Gib
bons, lived near a brother of theirs named Jamed Gibbons;
Mary went on that day to Louisburgh to purchase provi-
sions, but did not return ; in her absence the house was
burned, as well as the body of her unfortunate sister. Mr.
Waishe and the coroner arrived there, and, after two days'

inquiry, Mr. Walshe and the police found hid in Janies
Gibbons' house a large quantity of the unfortunate woman's
property ; it was also discovered that he sold at daybrelk the
feather bed on which she lay the night she was murdered.
Gibbons was found to be somewhat burned, and there was
evidence from two of his relatives against him. The jury
unanimously returned a verdict of wiltul murder against him.
He has been fully committed. It was with difficulty that
the police saved him from being struck by the stones which
the country people flung at him. The woman's right leg
and arm were burned to a cinder."
GALWAY ELECTION.

I GALWAY, MONDAY EVENING, FEB. 15.—The gross poll, as
declared by the returning officer this afternoon, is as follows ;
The Solicitor-General
Mr. O'Flaherty 475
Majority for the Solicitor-General —s
This has been an extremely close struggle, and the result is
still doubtful, although the prevailing opinion is that the
Solicitor-General will be returned by a very small majority.
Some of the tenantry of the Marquis of Clanricarde came
into town this morning to record their votes, and it was
deemed necessary to afford them the protection of a military
escort, in consequence of the growing excitement amongst
the populace in this town.
GALWAY' TUESDAY, I'm 16.—The poll opened soon after
nine o'clock this morning ; but it goes on very languidly, and
pretty equally on both sides. The contest willl, it is thought,
close this evening, and the chances are that the Solicitor-
General will be returned. But the issue is still very doubtful.
QUAEYEA-FAST ONE O'CLOCE.—The numbers polled this
day are :
Monahan, Solicitor- General
O'Flaherty
This reduces the majority of the Solicitor-General on the
gross poll to three.

Twi) o'CLocK.—There are conflicting accounts of the state
of the poll at this hour. The friends of the Solicitor-General
state that he is still in a majority of four, whilst the Repealers
assert that O'Flaherty has a majority on the gross poll of two
or three.

There was some rioting and stone• throwing in the street
this morning for nearly two hours, but no very serious ca-
sualty occurred, as far as we could learn.
On Sunday, a man, accompanied by his wife and child,
applied for charity at the house of a person residing at
Strawberry-hill, near this city. The owner of the house,
being himself a poor man, said he had nothing to give away,
on which the applicants entered, and took up their seats in-
ide. A piece of rag dropped from the male pauper while in
the act of stooping to light his pipe, which was at once
picked up by one of the inmates of the house. The child of
the former, seeing this, exclaimed, " They have; got your
money, daddy," whereupon the man turned round, and de-
manded "his money" of the owner of the house. The latter
refused, until he ascertained the amount, and a scuffle ensued,
in which all parties present heartily joined. The noise at-
tracted the neighbours, who rushed in, and on learning the
state of the case, insisted the contents of the "rag" should
be disclosed. This was done, and it was found to contain 25
sovereigns, 12 half-crowns, and 2 shillings. The beggar and
his family were returned the money, and took their departure
amid the hooting and shouting of a large crowd of persons.—
Cork Constitution.

HORRIBLE FRATRICIDF.—The Journal des Ddbats
publishes the following horrible case of fratricide from a
letter dated Bethune, 6th inst. :—" A fratricide, committed
with more than ordinary ferocity, has filled our arrondisse-
ment with consternation and alarm. N. Florentin Appour-
cheaux occupied a spacious flour-mill at Lorgies. His
brother Louis was his partner. The latter, having badly 1 .
managed his private fortune, was compelled by his creditors 1
to surrender his share in the flour-mill to his brother Flo-
rentin. This person was prosperous; whilst his brother of
profligate habits committed an act of swindling, and, in
order to avoid a prosecution, ho was obliged to sell a portion
of his growing crop, together with his furniture. He still
continued, however, to reside with his brother Florentin. The
lat ter, at length, wearied with providing for the lavish ex-
penditure of Louis, determined to marry ; and, after having
cautiously announced to his brother that the banns of his
marriage had been published, he proceeded to his father's
house, where he passed the afternoon. During his absence
Louis, excited by disappointed cupidity, broke into Floren •
tin's mill, and thence into his bedchamber, where his bed
was locked in a recess. The unworthy brother next intro-
duced a piece of iron into the lock, in order to prevent its
being opened. This he did in order that his brother might
be obliged to strike a light, and thus enable him to see to
accomplish his horrible intention. When Florentin returned
home he proceeded to prepare for bed, but not being able to
turn his key in the lock of his press, he did as his assassin
anticipated, he lighted his lamp, after having removed some
of his clothing. Louis then appeared armed with a musket,
with which he struck his brother on the head. A severe
struggle ensued, but at length the unfortunate Florentin re-
ceived a mortal blow as he was escaping from the mill, and
fell to the ground. His execrable assassin, fearing that a
breath of life might remain, closed his mouth and nostrils
with clay. A few hours after the perpetration of that fra-
tricide, Louis Appourcheaux was arrested, still wet with the
blood of the unfortunate Florentin."
INTREPID CONDUCT OF A YOUTll.—Yesterday
morning, between twelve and one o'clock, an express was re-
ceived at the London engine stations of the outbreak of a
most destructive fire in the town of Old Brentford. In the
space of a few minutes the County engine from the Regent's-
quadrant, and two belonging to the brigade, with the West
of England one, started for the scene of conflagration, upon
reaching which the firemen found that the outbreak had oc-
curred in the premises of Mr. Grover, a boot and shoemaker,
situate in the High-street, next door to the well-known Red
Lion Inn. It appears from inquiries made on the spot, that
a youth, named George Best, in the service of Mr. O'Hara,
butcher, first discovered the fire, and owing to his intrepid
conduct, was the instrument of saving five lives from a horri-
ble death. Whilst in his master's yard he noticed smoke
issuing from Mr. Grover's back windows, and on running to
the front of the house he saw, by peeping through an aper-
ture in the window shutter, that the shop was in a general
blaze. He immediately knocked at the door, and shouted,
" Fire," but without being able to make she inmates sensible
of the great danger to which they were exposed; he there-
fore, returned to the back of the building, and, after climb-
ing over the wall, succeeded, with the aid of a poleaxe used
for killing bullocks, in breaking open the door, when
he ascended the staircase, and made for Mr. Grover's
bedroom; the smoke and sparks were at the same
moment rushing upwards with the greatest impetuo-
sity. After considerable trouble he entered the bed-
chamber, bat the smoke had obtained such power over the
inmates, that they were perfectly unconscious what was
going on, and in the course of a few minutes longer, they
must have been burnt to death. Best having laid hold of
Mr. Grover's leg, shook him violently, and then took up a
couple of his children in his arms and ran down the stairs
with them. Having placed them in safe custody, he re-
turned and saved Mrs. Grover and her husband, and a third
child was saved in the same manner. Not feeling then satis-
fied that all were saved, he returned into the burning pre-
mises for the third time, and inspected every room not on
fire, and being convinced that all the inmates were got out,
he was about to run down the stairs to escape himself,

towns, were early at the scene, but the fire was not extin-
guished until the whole of Mr. Grover's stock-in-trade was
destroyed, and the premises partially gutted, The occupier,
who has lost upwards of 5001 worth of property, was only
insured for half that amount. One or two of the contigu-
ous premises are also damaged by fire, but not to any great
extent.
