most wonlerful on record.

ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 3 ,1346.
This huge volume, the forty-eighth edition of the work, well sus-
tains the reputation enjoyed by the " Dhectory" of late years. In
the preface, the proprietor maintains that the high character of the
work is not referable to its more connexion with the .Post Office;
fur an important change has been gradually introduced into the
manner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the
work than heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely
unconnected 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, hut has introduced many im-
portant alterations in this volume for 1847 cunt odic Ito its hulk
without any increase in price. The " POStto Directory" is especially
improved, and there are numerous clumges 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 ; itud we trust the
enterprising proprietor of the " Direct )rv" will find thathis labow a
are duly appreciated anti remunerated. To a great commercial coun-
try this is an indispensable volume.

RAILWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846.
The new volume of the Post Office Directory for 1847 Is already
Iu oar hands, and we can only express our wonder that a work so
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 surpasami itself. The produc-
tion of a work um qu tiled for accuracy and for clearness has placed in
the hands ofthe commercial public a most valuable and indispensable
aid in carrying on the business of this vast metropolis, which would
indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and expense it it
were not for a work of this kind. In a short time our readers will
have theapportunity of judging for themselves on purchasing the new
volume, whether our ant:elpatory notice is in any degree exaggerated.

TIFRICE a WHITE POWDER for the TEETH. com-
pounded of the choicest and most reserche ingredients of the Oriental
Herbal, of inestimable value for preserving and beautifying the
Teeth and strengthening the Gums. It extirpates all tartarous adhe-
sions to the Teeth, and ensures a pearl-like whiteness to the ena-
melled surface. Its Anti• Septic and Anti-Scorbutic Properties arrest
the ffirther progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of
the Gums, and cause them to assume the brightness and colour Indi-
cative of perfect soundness. The Breath also attains a fragrant
sweetness truly grateful to its possessor. Its truly efficient and
fragrant aromatic properties have obtained its selection by the Court
and Royal Family of Great Britain, and the Sovereigns and Nobility
throughout Europe, while the general demand at once announces the
favour in which it is universally held. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

sioners have directed the proprietors' name and address to be en-
graved on the Government stamp, thus "A. ROWLAND and SON,

THE LONDON SEASON.
A WORD TO TIIE LORDS AND CORMONI3.
Oar rhymes (though addressed to the good Legislature),
Are nothing of any political nature. :
'Tis a matter of business on which we have written—
A word to the Lords and the Commons of Britain ;
For all in the state are concerted, mote or less,
'With MOSES and SON'S noted warehouse for dress.
The season in London once more is beglin—
May it be a good stason for MOSES and SON ;
May the Lords and the Commons, returning to town
Visit MOSES and SON at their Mart of renown.
E. MOSES and SON would most heartily thank
Their numerous patrons of title and rank,
Whose favours, last year, were surprisingly great,
And such as did bcnour to men of the state;
And while the proprietors thank them for these,
They solicit new favours from Lords and M.P.'s,
As the Lords and the gentlemen fortning the state
In their nightly discussions are oft detailed late,
The elegant wrappers of MOSES and SON
Would protect and prevent any harm being done.
Noble Lords, after making long speeches, require
Additional warmth in their over attire ;
And all who would value their health should take care
To avoid any hurt from the chilly night air,
Which In plain honest words may be easily done,
By seeking protection from MOSES and SON.

ECM'S NEW SHEW ROOMS for PAPIER
3IAC E MANUFACTURES, 4, Lead enhall -street, London.
Mechi, determined to carry out his principle of being in the van,
has brought out some most superb and novel specithens in Papier
Mache. Finding it impossible to display them advantageously in his
former space, lie has, at considerable expense, fitted up a splendid
Show Room, to which he invftes all those who are desirous of seeing
the most brilliant specimens this country can produce. It is not ex-
pected that visitors will purchase, although of course Mechi will be
quite happy to tempt his customers, and supply their wants. His
principle is, and always will be, to exchange or return the money for
any article purchased of him that may be disapproved. This binds
him to quality. He has always found that his customers never leave
him, because they are always sati,fied. Among the recherche speci-
mens of Papier 3lache, articles will be found, some decorated with
admirable copies of Edwin Landseer's most popular and modern
paintings, together with some exquisite lanscapes of Windsor Castle,
Virginia Water, the Isle of Wight, Sac. &c.

THE WESTMINSTER REFORM
SOCIETY.
REPRESENTATION OF WESTMINSTER.
On Monday night, at seven o'clock, a most numerous and
influential'ineeting of the Westminster Reform Society was
held at Stannard's Hotel, Upper Wellington-street, Covent-
garden, specially convened for the purpose of receiving the
report of the committee, in pursuance of a resolution passed
at a meeting of the society, which was as follows :—t‘ That it
be referred to the general committee of the society to wait

upon the several gentlemen whose names may be submitted
to them, or who they may think desirable, from which this
society lould make a selection of a candidate to be brought
forward at the next election for Westminster, in lieu of J.

T. Leader, Esq., M.P., who has tignitled his intention not
again to solicit the suffrages of the electors of Westminster,
and to ascertain how fart heir political opinions are in ac-
cordance with the principles of this society, and whether they
woutt be willing, if called upon by a requisition from the
electors of this cityt to contest the same, in conjunction with
Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P., and that the said committee re-
port thereon, at their earliest convenience, to another general
meeting of this society, to be called for that special pur-

pose.': -
Mr. Austin, of St. James'e, having taken the chair, Mr.
Haggett, the secretary, presented the minutes, which were
confirmed.
The report of the general committee was then brought up
and read. It stated that in conformity with the resolution
of the 7th April, the general committee presented to each
member of the society a copy of the resolution, when many
names of those who were thought eligible were sent to
the committee. Measures were adopted to enter into a
correspondence with them, in consequence of which answers
were received, some declining the invitation, and others
acceding to an interview. Deputations were subsequently
appointed to meet the gentlemen, the result of which has
been that the following were selected (no delay having oc-
curred to ascertain the political wishes of all those with
whom an interview was obtained):—Mr. Page Wood, Mr.
G. Thompson, Mr. S. V. Shelley, and Mr. C. Lushington.
Ilae_coreraittoe.tniast_thatAnlcit a candidate will be placed
in the field as the electors would support: It was after
much careful research that the committee arrived at the
conviction that the suffrages of the electors will be most
favourably exercised its support of Mr. C. Lushington.
A long discussion ensued, and an objection was raised to
the report that the committee had exceeded their instruc-
tions, by giving an opinion in favour of Mr. C. Lushington.
Mr. PBOUT defended the report on the part of the commit-
tee; observing that there was no desire to dictate to the
society.
The report was then received, and ordered to be entered on
the minutes.

Mr. LEWIS, jun., then rose to propose Mr. G. Thompson to
contest the election in conjunction with Sir De Lacy Evans,
whom, without in the least attempting to say anything in
deterioration of Mr. C. Lushington, it was his desire to put
forward at the ensuing election • at the same time there was
no gentleman, more than Mr. d. Lushington, who he would
wish to see second to him : his virtues were many—he had
proved himself an honest man in the House of Commons,
and he was of great family influence.—(Hear.) He was also
not a party man, and would carry out their opinions—he
meant upon free-trade.—(Hear.) He had shown himself to
be independent of family -interests upon the sugar question,
though he had a deep interest in that trade.—(Hear.) All
these things, however, Mr. G. Thompson would do, in addi•
tion to which he had a profound knowledge of affairs con-
nected with our possessions in the East Indies, which was a
subject of the utmost importance at the present crisis.-
-(Hear.) He had most powerful talents, which would exer-
cise a very beneficial influence in the House of Commons.
He put his resolution.
Mr. GEESIN seconded it, remarking that Mr. G. Thompson
was not a man to get every day in the week.—( Laughter.)
He thought that if they made a selection of him, they would
not have much to find fault with. Had he been capable of
being bought be would long ago have been placed on the
shelf by the East India Company.—(Hear.) In the parishes
of St. Margaret and St. John's, though Mr. Cochrane had
appeared before him, there was a strong demonstration in his
favour. The committee ought to have made this report long
since.—(Hear.)
Mr. Pnouv, who proposed that Mr. C. Lushington should
be selected, said, that the gentlemen who supported Mr. G.
Thompson thought of the man in his individuality who they
considered should be their representative, and not of the man
who could be secured at the poll.—(Hear.) The majority
he acted with in the committee were desirous to take the
person they could carry at the election, and wished not to be
under the necessity of deciding the votes of the electors.—
(Hear.) He valued the talents of Mr. G. Thompson, and

would be happy to see him in the House of Commons, where
he thought he ought to be. But the question with him was,
which was the one who would be likely to succeed ?—( Hear.)
His opinion of Mr. G. Thompson was, that he would not be
able to command the majority at the poll. That was the con-
viction of the majority of the committee, and in that convic •
tion it was that they agreed to offer the name of Mr. C.
Lushington. He had been a tried man in the House of
Commons.—(Hear, hear.) He had voted for all the princi-
ples which were adopted by the society, and for many more.
—(Hear, hear.) He was in a position to command the wealth
and influence of Westminster.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr.
Prout) would be ashamed to walk the streets of London if
a Tory were returned;. and if Mr. G. Thompson and Mr.
Cochrane went to the poll, he was fearful that would be
the result. For these reasons, he moved as an amendment
" That C. Lushington, Esq., be adopted by the society as the
candidate to contest the city of Westminster at the next elec-
tion, to succeed John Temple Leader, Esq., M.P."
Mr. TYRRELL seconded the amendment, observing that
with respect to the two gentlemen he thought there ought to
be no hesitation, and that they ought to give their support to
Mr. C. Lushingtsn.—( Hear, hear.) It had been said that
Mr. G. Thompson was well acquainted with the state of our
Indian affairs. There were subjects which intimately con-
cerned them at home, and which he considered of more para-
mount importance, as the condition of Ireland. If that were
lost, what would be the use of India.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. R. CRIBB asked whether either of the candidates in-
tended to vote for the endowment of any church ?
Mr. ?ROUT declared that Mr. C. Lushington would not,
and,
Mr. LEWIS made a similar acknowledgment on the
part. of Mr. G. Thompson.
Mr. G. POUNCEY said that if the society decided by one
only that Mr. G. Thompson should be put in nomination,
he would give him his support ; but the question was, can
they return him, and, whether, if he was to stand, two.
Tories would not at the head of the poll.—(Hear, hear.)
He could not imagine such a contingency. It was the duty
of a candidate not to divide the interest, and he would say to
the credit of Mr. C. Lushington, that if he supposed he was
likely to create a division he would not stand.—(Hear,
hear.) They were bound to consider 'the opinions of the
great body of electors not connected with the society.—
(Hear, hear.) It was necessary that they should have a
gentleman as their representative who would go to the
House of Commons with a triumphant majority.—Hear,
hear.) It was his opinion that they could not return Mr.
G. Thompson, and he was assured that Mr. C. Lushing-
ton would make an able, eloquent, and honest representa-
tive.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. J. PARKES, solicitor, observed, that they ought to be
careful what steps they took that evening. He came there
perfectly independent, with the intention to give his support
to that gentlemaa who he thought would have any chance
of being returned.—( Hear.) The present constituency was
not that of former times, as the rate-paying classes had
assisted to destroy the body of scot-and-lot voters, who were
the cream of the electors in former times, and who enabled
Westminster to stand at the head of the independent
bOroughs.—(Hear, hear.) They were to consider whether
they could return two Liberal candidates, and, if so, which
of the two gentlemen before them was the likeliest to suc-
ceed. Mr. C. Lushington was long connected with the
religious liberty question, and it was a subject in which
the whole of the dissenters took a deep interest. He was
also a member of the Church of England.—(Hear, hear.)
The dissenters had the greatest confidence in him, while
he was a man who did not seek a place from Government,
who would not ask for place, and who would not take
one if it was offered to him.—(Hear, hear.) He had a
high opinion of the talents of Mr. . Thompson, and he
would be misled in his opinion of him if he thought he
would not decline to stand when he was not likely to suc-
ceed.—(Hear.)
Messrs. Lewis, sea., Bidgood, jun., Coppock, Labrum, &c.,
addressed the meeting, when Mr. Lewis replied, intimating
that he trusted they would all abide by the decision of the
society.
The amendment was then put and carried, after which
Mr. LE BnErrow proposed, and Mr. Drra seconded a vote
of thanks to the committee ',(a similar vote being awarded to
the chairman).
The meeting terminated at a late hour.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY EVENING.—Heavy snow
having fallen during last night, to the depth of three or four
inches, her Majesty and the Prince, taking advantage of this
change, went out this afternoon in the sledges—one of which
was a year or two ago presented to the Queen by the Em-
peror of Russia, and the other was built in London, by order
of the Prince Consort, during the last winter the Court was
at Brighton. They have both been shut up in the Royal
Mews ever since, the weather having afforded no opportunity
for their use. About an hour after luncheon to-day these
sledges were brought up to the entrance of the Queen's pri-
vate apartment in the great quadrangle, and her Majesty
took her seat in the one built in London—a very fantasti-
cally decorated little vehicle, drawn by a pair of grey pal-
freys, gaily caparisoned in red morocco traces, with party-
coloured plumes on their heads, some three hundred bells
being attached to different parts of the harness. Her Majesty
was attended by her Lady in Waiting, the Marchioness of
Douro, and the Prince drove. Lord A. Paget followed in
the Russian sledge, and Colonel Seymour, Prince Albert's
Equerry in Waiting, followed on horseback. His Royal
Highness led the way from the grand entrance down the
Castle-hill, and entered the Great Park by the Long Walk.
But unfortunately a considerable fall of rain came on shortly
after they set out, and the snow was reduced to an
un-
pleasant state of solution. Nevertheless, the party drove to
the foot of the hill on which stands the statue of George 11.,
and after an absence of three quarters of an hour returned to
the Castle.
SOLDIER FOUND FROMM TO DEATH. CHATHAM,
JAN. 21.—Yesterday morning, as some boys were sliding on
a pond, at the rear of the Observatory, belonging to the
Royal Engineers, they observed the elbow and part of the
shoulder of a soldier sticking up out of the ice ; and after
some time, they reported the circumstance to the Sergeant-
Major of the Royal Engineers, who, with assistance, and a
Sergeant-
boa -hook, repaired to the spot. The boat. hook not being
long enough to touch the body, one of the engineers put on a
pair of water-boots, and walked to the spot, when the ice
broke with him, and he then drew the dead body out.
From the position of it, the legs and arms being contracted
with the agonies of death, it was evident that the poor
fellow had mistaken his road, as he had nearly gone across
the pond before the ice gave way. The deceased was attached
to the Invalid Depot, at the Casemate Barracks, Gillingham,
and had probably mistaken his road in returning to his
quarters, whereby he had fallen into the pond, when the
intense frost then prevailing bad caused his death. His
name was Thomas Shea, and he was a drummer in the 87tb
Royal Irish Fusiliers, and had been
fifteen years in the regi-
ment. He had recently returned from the Mauritius to be
pensioned off.
