3101tNI.NG CHRONICLE, Nov 20, 1846.

The powers of extrz ,slon exhibited by this most useltdannua

- . - - - •
volume appear real y unlimited. Publish° during a series-of f rty-
, Celt years, in a metropolis whose dwellings increase in number by
a yearly average of seine fourteen thousand, and whose commerce
expands in still larger measure, the "Post-office Directory" nas be-
oome enormously enhanced in bu k, as also in the complicated
variety of its indispensable' contents. The admirable vuccess with
whis..h the really enormous difficulties of his task have been overcome
by the indefatigable publisher has been proved by the experience
of many years ; and we need say little more than that the present
volume presents the same tokens as its predecessors, of Intel igemt
meth. d and ingenuity of arrangement in packing into reasonable
compass, and producing in lucid order its miliaria of facto and
reference. Within two thousand pages every man may learn
everything he ought to know about every one of his eo-dwellers in
the great metropolis, their businesses, as well as everything neces-
sary to facilitate him in his own. The very rapid extension of our
railway system, and the new postal arrangements with some conti-
nental states, have rendered necessary some extensive additions to
the sections appropriated to Conveyance And the Post-office. We
find the information given under those heads net only as full and ac-
curate as it was well possible to make them, but more new and re-
cent than we should have thought attainable in a work of such mag-
nitude. Prefixed to the volume is about the best Map of London we
happen to have met with.
TIMES,
NOT. 18, 1146.
The forty-eighth annual publication of this work—the volume for
1847—is now issued. It is a wonderfully different affair from the
old Directory, which used to consist of little or nothing more than
the alphabetical list of tradesmen; it comprises now, and has for
some years, a " Street Directory," a " Trades Directory," a " Court
Directory," a " Postal Directory," a " Conveyance Directory," with
a host of other little digests. The volume appears to have been very
carefully revised, and supplies the latest information. Of course,
the postal treaty with Prussia has not been overlooked ; and In miner
points the work seems to bear the test of search into matters in
which changes have been very recent.
MORNING POST, Nov. 19, 1846.

The forty-eight:l annuli ptablication of this admirable work has

ust been issued. Any dissertation on the useffilness of this volume,
after its well-proven flurries in almost every counting-house in the
metropolis fur so iminy years past, must be quite ttnneeessary. Suf-
fice it to say, the present edition possesses all the merit of its prede-
ce sore. e hula the alterations and corrections in the various depart-
ments have been carried down to the latest period.
MORNING HERALD, Nov. 21, 1546,
Balky as the proportions of this indispensable, work have hitherto
been, the volume for 1847 comes forth under circumstances of still
urther enlargement. The experience of 47 years has obviouily
enabled the proprietor, Yr. Frederick Kelly, to produce a Directory
of unrivalled completeness, wherein every species of fact likely to be
wanted by the merchant and trader is placed within convenient
access. The volume contains upwards of 2,000 closely-printed royal
octave pages, betokening a singular amount of industry as a matter
of compilation, and awakening astonishment at the comprehensive-
ness of the inachinery which could bring within a common focus
so much varied and scattered intelligence—embracing, as it does, a
multiplicity of heads, and involving the services of a vast number
of contributors. We believe that the present volume is not to be
matched in the whole world, for such a mammoth aggregate •f local
and specific information is no less a typographical wonder than a
Prodigious monument of diligence and enterprise. Seale dozen or so
of separate Directors are included in this huge periodical—the only
one, it seems, of the annual tribe destined to a permanent existence
, a veritable triumph, indeed, of the utilitarian principle over the
ornamental. The "Official Directory" is a key to the whole of the
Government offices, and a record of official personages. This is fol-
lowed by a "Street Directory," exhibiting the tradesmen in every
thoroughfare, and the points at which the streets are intersected by
those at right angles • while the "Commercial and Professional
Directory" is an alphabetical arrangement of the above. Then comes
a " Trades' Directory," in which the names are allocated under their
respective ealliegs. The "Law Directory" is a list of judger.,
Queen's counsel, sergeants, barristers, attorneys, &c., with a cata-
logue of the various Courts of Law, their officers, and their peculiari-
ties of jurisdiction. The "Court Directory" comprises the addresses
of the nobility and gentry; and the "Parliamentary Directory" is
a record of the Members of the House of Lords and Commons, with
an alphabetical list of the boroughs, cities, and counties returning
Members to Parliament, the surnames and eldest sons of peers, &c.
The " Postal Directory" contains ihe hour of receipt and delivery o
every Post-office in the kingdom ; the cities and principal places
throughout the world to which mails are dispatched from London ; the
rates of foreign postage ; the railway mails and time cross-road mails,
Sec. The " City Directory" registers the civic authorities. the public
companies, the brokers, the incumbents and ministers of the
churches and chapels, the newspapers, Fee. ; and the " onveyance
Directory" includes the railway tat,les, ; he coach and booking offices,
the wharfs, &c. The volume closes with Banking and Assurance
Directories. These various heads will serve to indicate the multi-
tudinous nature of the contents, for out of them come a variety of
subordinate directories. which meet every conceivable want, pre-
senting a curious analysis of the public and private institutions of
the metropolis and of the commercial world. Every person is to be
found under tits proper section, from a prime minister down to a
sheriff's officer--every establishment, from a palace to a lodging-
house. The editor, in his preface, takes occasion to congratulate
himself on the many improvements he has this year introduced,
principally flowing from the employment of "selected agents," instead
of the ordinary carriers of the Post•office. Among the specific
alterations, the sew postage treaty with Prussia, which came into
operation on the Ist et January, 1847, and disturbs to a considerable
extent the rates of postage over a great part of the Continent, seems
the most important
MORNING ADVERTISER, Nov. 18, 1346.

The " Post-ortiee London Directory, 1847," is just delivered.
Thougk it is apparently limited to London, it is in reality a national
work. lime of the leading towns can well be without it ; It must
be an essential to every counting-house in the kingdom, as well as to
every place of business is and about the metropolis. It is an invalu-
able work of its kind ; and the extent and minuteness of its useful de-
tails are truly wondeiful. Being prepared " wider the immediate and
sp clal patronage of her Majesty's Postmaster-General," the amplest
and completest means were, of coarse, at the command of the pro-
prietor, Mr. Kelly, to secure the entire accuracy or the voluminous
and crowded contents of the balky work. The present is the forty-
eighth annual publication. Few commercial and trading men can
uow require particular description of the reall important and useful
information, to almost every party in any sort of business, occupying
the two thousand closely but clearly printed octave pages of this Di-
rectory. Preceded by an admirable and perspicuous Map of London,
prepared expressly, it is declared, for the work, by Mr. R. R. Davies,
there are divisions comprising, among other information, "
" Cemniereial," "Trades," "Law," " Court," "
"Conveyance," "Iltukin,-," and many

can be said in its praise. The machinery by which such volu-
minous Information is obtained, arranged, and superintended, so as
o avoid errors, must o I itself be among the " curiosities" of modern
literature.

YEARS' STANDING CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS
The particulars of this extraordinary case are as follows :—Mr. James

Whitechapel, was discharged from the navy, in 1813, in conse.

miunted in Plymouth Hospital as incurable. During the former long
period he had had the advice of the most skilful surgeons In London,
i)ublin, and other places. Notwithstanding the dreadful state of the

TILE WAR BETWEEN THE GREAT WESTERN
AND LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN
COMPANIES—BATTLE OF THE GAUGES—
EXTRA ORDINARY SCENE.
On Saturday afternoon, at two o'clock, the meeting
of the shareholders in this company, called by those
who object to the selling of the line to the Great Western,
was herd in Dee's Hotel, Birmingham. The ex traordi
nary interest excited in the result, in consequence of thi,
line being the ground on which the Great Western and
London and North Western are fighting the battle of
the gauges, attracted an immense number of shareholders
from ail parts of the country. Long before the time ap-
pointed for the meeting, crowds of gentlemen were in a
state of great excitement. There was a very large at
tendance from Liverpool and Manchester, and a great
muster from London. The Metropolitan journals were
nearly all represented by reporters connected with their
respective establishments ; and most of the provincial
papers of note, within an extent of 100 miles, had also
their reporters at the meeting. Among the gentlemen
present we observed :—P. H. Muntz, Esq., M-Pe
chairman of the company ; C. Russell, Esqe M.P.
Richard Spooner, Esq., M.P. ; Captain Carnegie, M.P. ;
F. Barlow, Esq., director of the Great Western Com-
pany ; John Crosswaith, Esq. ; Charles Saunders, Esq.,
secretary of the Great Western ; Edward Tootal, Esq. ;
Captain Porter ; Captain Moorsom, ; J. F. Led-
ham, Esq., deputy chairman of the London and North
Western ; all the directors of the Birmingham and Ox-
ford Junction, and several directors of the Midland and
various other railway companies.
P. H. MUNTZ, Esq , chairman of the company, was in
the chair.
The SECRETARY having read the advertisement
calling the meeting (the names to the requisition com-
prised one-fifth part of .the share!l,lders of the
cempany),
The CHAIRMAN requested the gentlemen who called
the meeting to commence the proceedings.
Mr. MOZLEY, of Liverpool, thee rose on the part of
the discontented shareholders, amidst deafening ap-
plause. His object was to propose a resolution in-
creasing the number of the directors from twelve to
eighteen. He wished, in the outset of the proceedings,
to disclaim all personalities in what he should say.
Since their last meeting, a fortnight ago, he had learned
with great surprise that Mr. Stevens, the solicitor of the
company, had been put 'on the list of the directors.
That was a most extraordinary step on the part of the
directors of this company to take. He had never heard
of an instance of tnis kind before, and he was sure no
one else had.—(A laugh.) He wished to be understood
as saying nothing against the gentleman personally—it
was against the principle of a gentleman being in the
direction who, in his et pecial capacity, might be asked
to give advice as to these very proceedings, that he ob-
jected to. He would content himself, in the meantime,
with moving the resolution.
Mr. LEECH seconded the motion.
Mr. STEVENS wished to set the meeting right in
respect to what had fallen from Mr. Mosley regarding
himself. He was not in say way connected with the
company except as a shareholder. He held 2,000
shares in it, and had never sold one of them, even at
the time when there was a great doubt as to whether
they would ever get their Bill. He had wrought for the
company, and fought for the company, at ell times, and
under all circumstances.
Mr. MOZLEY—The Hon. Gentleman, who is a man of
the hiehest respectability in his professional capacity,
says that he is not agent for the company. Does he
mean to say that he is not a partner in the firm which
is professionally connected with the agents of the com-
pany.
Mr. STEVENS—I am in no way connected with the
company, except as a shareholder.
Mr. MOZLEY—Then I beg Mr. Stevens's pardon. I
have been misinformed.
The resolution was then put tied agreed to without a

division.
Sir J. VERNEY (late M.P. for Buckingham) proposed
that Mr. Mortey, Mr. Biel, Mr. Bayton, Mr. John Brad-
shaw, Mr. Thomas Bigg, and Mr. Timothy R. Cobb be
elected directors. These gentlemen were chosen without
a division. They are all in the interest of the London
and North• Western.

Sir J. VERNEY then rose to move a resolution respect-
ing the rotation agreeably to which the directors should
go out of office, and the object of which was to provide
that only two out of the six directors just elected should
go cut of office in one year.
Mr. SHIRRET seconded the motion.

After a consultation of some length with the directors
of the company and Counsel, who were present in the
anticipation of difficulties occurring,
The CHAIRMAN said that he was placed between the
two great parties in a very delicate and difficult position,
and he begged the indulgence of the meeting for a few
minutes until the Counsel had made up his mind us to the
course they ought to pursue.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN, after few -minutes.'.-consultation
with the Learned Gentleman, again rose, and said that
there was no objection to the spirit of the resolution,
but he was now advised that it was contrary to law.
The Act of Incorporation only allows the meeting to
alter the rotation of the order of the whole body of the
directors, and not a portion of them. He could not act
contrary to the advice he had received, and therefore
must decline putting the resolution.—(" Oh, oh.")
Mr. MOZLEY said the resolution was drawn up by
one of the most distinguished men in the legal profession.
He pledged himself for its legality, and therefore he
must insist on its being put to the meeting. If it was
illegal, its adoption would lead to no results. It could
not be rendered legal by the simple act of its being
agreed to by the meeting.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHAIRMAN—I am bound to act on the best
advice I can get.
Mr. Monvir—Our advice was obtained from the most
eminent counsel. He carefully drew it up, and he had
ample time to weigh the matter in all its bearings,
which the gentleman who has just advised you had not.
The CHAIRMAN—I cannot put it after the advice I
have got on the point. lam bound to act by that
advice.
Mr. MORLEY—I must insist on its being.put.—(Loud
cheers.) I cannot compel you to put it, but I do
peremptorily require you to put it. If it be illegal, the
consequences will rest upon us. ,
The CHAIRMAN—I repeat I can only tin the delicate
ac
position in which I am placed on the best advice I am
able to procure. I have sought and obtained that
advice, which is adverse to my putting the resolution.
Mr. WHEATLEY read they opinion of the Attorney-
General, the Solicitor-General, Mr. Talbot, and Mr.
Godley. The opinion of these eminent counsel was
that the resolution read, as it applied to only a part of
the directors, and not to the whole, could not bo put.
Mr. MOZLEY—The opinion we have obtained is that
of Messrs. Crompton and Parker. It was after the
fullest deliberation.
The CHAIRMAN—I repeat that in my very peculiar
position I can only act according to the opinion of
counsel, which is, that it would be illegal to put the
resolution.—(Cheers and hisses.) I ant sure I neither
deserve cheers nor hisses. These cries can do no good.
I am acting, I again say, on the best advice I can get.
Mr. Me zeEv—lf you refuse to put the resolution,
the only alternative for us to adopt is to put it ourselves.
—(Cheers.)
A PROPRIETOR—Read us the Act of Parliament, and
see what it says.
The CHAIRMAN—I cannot comply with the request of
the Hon. Proprietor. lam no lawyer, and cannot un-
dertake to put constructions on Acts of Parliament. I
must abide by the advice I have got.
Mr. MOZLEY—Then I feel it my duty to move the
adjournment of this meeting till five o'clock, in order to
consider what course we should adopt.
Mr. ALSTON—You cannot alter the law.
Mr. MoZLEY—I do not know, Mr. Alston, whether
we can or net ; but I think your remark is not very
creditable in the circumstances in which we are placed.—
(Loud cheers.)
A PROPRIE.TOR—CouId we not turn out the chairman
and put another in his place ?—(Loud laughter.)
The CHAIRMAN then put the motion for adjournment,
which was agreed to without opposition.
Mr. MOZLEY—The adjournment will not interfere
with the meeting at four o'clock, adjourned from that day
fortnight.
The CHAIRMAN—Certainly not. Remamber,
men, the adjourned meeting from Saturday, the gentle-
27th of
February, takes place in this room at four o'clock.
The meeting then broke up.

ADJOURNED MEETING FROM FEB. 27.
The meeting which had been adjourned from Satur-
day, Feb. 27, took place in the same room at four
o'clock. The same gentlemen who were prnent at the
meeting at two o'clock, again crowded the large hall.
F. P. Manta, Esq., chairman of the company, in the
chair.
The CHAIRMAN having stated that this was an ad-
journed meeting from Feb. 27.
Mr. MOZLEY—WiI! you, sir, be kind enough to read
the report again.
The CHAlRMAN—Certainly.
The Chairman then read the report, which only con-
sisted of a few sentences, and was quite of a general cha-
racter.
Mr. MOZLEY—The point on which the meeting was
adjourned a fortnight ago, related to the retirement of
four of the directors and the election of other four di-
rectors in their stead. You would not agree to this. I
wish to know whether you have changed your mind ?
The CHAIRMAN—Certainly not. We are acting here,
as in the other case, on tt e advice of counsel.
Mr. MOZELEY—We are doing the same, and are act-
ing in accordance with the advice of men at the very
head of the 'profession. They are Sir F. Kelly, Mr.
Crampton, Mr. Parker, Mr. Peacock, Mr. Hope, and
Hawkins.
Mr. TURNER—I propose that one third of the directors
should now retire, agreeably to the Act of Parliament.—
(Hear, hear, and cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN—I cannot put the resolution.
Mr. TURNER—Then, sir, I beg to tell you that I am
not to be diverted from my purpose by your refusal. I
will put the resolution myself.—(Laughter, and loud
cheers.)
The lion. PROPRIE ron now put the resolution, which
he declared to be carried unanimously.
' The CHAIRMAN—If gentlemen choose to put resolu-
tions in this way, they can carry anything they choose.
