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 not 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 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 content with his past success, but has introduced many Impor-
tant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its bulk with-
out a,,y increase of price. The Postal irectory' is especially im-
proved, and there are numerous changes throughout the volume, to
insure its completeness. The compilation mutt he a vast labour, to
he 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 fled that his labours
are duly appreciated and remunerated. To a great commercial
country this is an indispensable volume.
RAILWAY lIERILD, Nov. 21, 1846.
The new volume of the Post-office Directory for 1847 is already
in our 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 n.erit to have maintained its former
reputation ; it is a great merit to have surpassed itself. The pro-
duction of n 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 Ise 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 opportuuity of judging for themselves en pur-
chasing the new volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any
degree exaggerated.
lIERAPATIPS RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846.
The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and
improvements unon 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 hinds of the present proprietary, and to place it by the
force of might over right in the possession of Government. But
should it he 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 -office 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 ot the work) are duly appreciated, is now happily beyond all
question; prior to the Directory' passing to its present proprietor,
rival books contended successfully with this. They have disappeared."

perfectly innocent in its nature, is free from unpleasant smell, and
can be used by any lady or gentleman with the greatest ease and

DESTITUTION* AND SICKNESS.
The affluent and benevolent are earnestly solicited to aid the
efforts new making by the Managing Committee of the ROYAL
FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's Inn-road, a charity established for the
relief of the foreigner, the stranger, the friendless, and the outcast,
when in sickness or disease, who are here received so far as the
means of the Institution will permit.
Neither patronage nor letters of recommendation are necessary ;
were it otherwise, the wretched beings for whose benefit the Institu-
tion is intended would not know how or where to obt•tin them, and
while seeking for the means of admission would, in all probability,
perish unheeoe.l and unknown ; a melancholy instance of which
kind gave rise to the founding of this charity.
A large debt, which is now gradually being reduced, still encum-
bers the operations of the Committee, but confiding in the sprit
and benevolence of an English public, in support of such a
charity, they fearlessly continue their efforts to meet the urgent
appeals daily made at their gates by the most miserable and wretched
of the human race.

RED LION INN and POSTING-HOUSE, BOSTON.
CAROLINE MINTON takes the earliest oppor-
tunity of expressing her grateful thanks to the public for the
♦ery liberal support they have bestowed upon her late husband, and
more especially to those kind friends who have sympathised with
her in her deep affliction ; and begs most reepectfully to inform them
that, with the assistance of her Son, she purposes carrying on the
Red Lien Inn, and the Business attached to it, in all its branches ;
in which she trusts she shall meet with a continuance of their
patronage, which she will endeavour by every effort in her power
to merit. It will be the aim of Caroline Minton and her Son to
retain for the Red Lion Inn the character it has hitherto borne, of
a comfortable Family Hotel ; to increase its accommodation to those
agricultural friends who have so long frequented it ; to extend its
advantages as a Commercial Inn ; to pay unremitting attention to
the Posting Department; and, by selling none but the best Wines
and Spirits, and paying constant regard to the wishes of her guests,
to strive to gain the favourable opinion of every class of her
customers.
*,,* The Red Lion Brewery will be conducted its usual, under the
roost careful superintendence, and with a due regard to the produc-
tion of the best article, at the lowest prices consistent with a fair
remuneration.

thINTLEMEN,
HAVIN G received from the Master and Resident
Members of the College of which I have the honour to be a
member, a requisition to allow myself to be proposed as a CANDI-
DATE for the office of CHANCELLOR of the UNIVERSITY, ac-
companied by the informatien that other highly respected and influ-
ential members of the University had expressed a similar wish, I
take the liberty of announcing to you that it is my intention, in
compliance with those expressions of favour, to offer myself as a can-
didate for the Chancellorship, vacant by the lamented death of the
Duke of Northumberland. Although I cannot hope to fill that high
office with such advantage to the University as accrued from the
presidency of our late valued and respected Chancellor, I may ven-
ture to assure you that no one will feel more anxious than myself to
support the interests of the University, or to promote the Welfare of
the Church, for the malntniance of which the University of Cain-
bridge forms Pa promine, eonrce.
I request the favour of 'your vote and support on the day fixed by
the University to supply the present vacancy.
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your faithful servant,

The COMMITTEE for conducting the ELECTION of Lord
POW IS SITS DAILY at the BRITISH MOTEL, Cockspur-strect,
to which place any communications may be forwarded.

AT a MEETING of Members of the Senate of
the University of Cambridge, held at the British Hotel,
Cockspur-street, on Wednesday, the 17th inst., the Earl NELSON in
the Chair, it was unanimously resolved
I. That it is very desirable that the Chancellor of the University
of Cambridge should have been educated at the University, In order
that he may be acquainted with its interests and privileges, and that
he should be a member of the Legislature, in order that he may watch
over and maintain them in Parliament— (Proposed by the Vice-
Chancellor of England, St. John's College ; seconded by A. J. B.
Hope, Esq., M.P., Trinity College)-
2. That in the opinion of this meeting the Earl of Fowls, from
the independence of his position, and his steady support of the in-
terests of the Church and the University, is eminently qualified to
fill this high and Important office.—(Proposed by W. F. Pollock,
Esq., Trinity College ; seconded by G. S. Venables, Esq., Jesus
College.)

3. That this meeting w4ll use every effort to promote the election of
the Earl of Yowls.—(Proposed by it. P. Amphlett, Esq., St. Nter's ;
seconded by F. li. Dickenson, Esq., M.P., Trinity College.)

fIAMBRIDGE.—At a Meeting of the Members
kj of the Senate. held in the Combination Room of St. John's
Cortege, Cambridge, this aftergsan,
The MASTER of .ST. JOHN'S in the Chair,
After a letter from Lord Powis, in reply to one from the Master of
St. John's, written after the meeting of the Heads of Houses, on
Monday last, had been read to the meeting,
It was resolved unanimously,—That the best thanks of this
meeting are due to Lord I'owis for his ready acquiescence in the wish
that he should become a candidate for the office of Chancellor of this
University, and that this meeting pledges itself to use its utmost
efforts to promote his election.
Feb. Is, 1547.

'THE COMMITTEE for CONDUCTING the
J. ELECTION of the EARL OF POWIS to the Chancellorship
of the University of Cambridge beg to submit the following STATE-
MENT to the Members of the Senate:—
When by the lamented death of the late Chancellor it became ne •
cessary to consider the appointment of it successor, it was deemed
desirable to bring forward such a candidate as might be supposed to
he most acceptable to the general body of Senate, and to repre-
sent the opinions of the majority of its meinbers.
The interestwhich the Earl of Fowls had uniformly displayed in allhs
that concerns the University, and the acquaintance which by
education and subsequent connexion with it he had maintained with
our academic institutions—the independence of his character and
position—the zeal and energy which lie has exhibited in forwardiog
the interests of the Church, and his able and effectual support of her
claims, naturally directed the attention of many members of the Uni-
lle mannerto
Lord which
powi hiss will Lordship'sseeure
Tersity to this nobleman, and steps were immediately taken to obtain
his Lordship's consent to be put in nomination for the high office of
Chancellor.
The Earl of Fowls at once acceded to the request, and

vitations th the namear hasrn and beenhearty received

She spoke to the streamlets, the fields, and the trees,
And the butterfly-tribes, and the ants and the bees.
And as soon as Her law had to these been laid down,
ller Majesty turn'd her attention to town.
She addressed the gay pleasure-grounds form 'd for diversions,
And bade all the steam-boats prepare for excursions.
Her speech was a long one, but lest we should fidget,
We shall not give the whole of the speech, but abridge it.
In teuehing on dress, she alluded to none
But the greatest of tradesmen, E. MOSES and SON.
Prepare, (said the Spring, while she pointed her finger,)
Prepare i for the Winter will soon cease newsg
Piepare, Messrs. MOSES ! Prepare your styles !
(And here the Queen gazed with her choicest of smiles.)
Many thousands (said she), as my dawning discloses.
Are preparing to visit the Dress Mart of MOSES.
Many thousands will purchase their dress-coats and frock,
And the over-coats also, from such a choice stock.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.—MONDAY.
During last week, up to Saturday evening, the arrivals of
English Wheat in the port of London, were unusually small ' -
while those of all other articles of home produce were on a
very limited scale. By land carriage and samples, the re-
ceipts were trifling; and tie same oi:,scrvations may be
applied to those from Ireland and Scotland. The imports of
foreign Corn, Pulse and Flour were limited. Fresh up to-
day, a moderate quantity of Whe it of home produce reached
us from Essex; but the supply from Kent, Cambridge-
shire, &c., was small. the market opened :-y
the factors demanding an advance in the quota-
lions paid on Monday last—arising front the limited
number of samples brought forward, of from 4s to 5s per
quarter. At that improvement no sales were effected ; and
the trade became excessively heavy—so dull, indeed, that. up
to twelve o'clock scarcely a single parcel had changed hands.
Under these circumstances, we have to report unusual dul-
ness in the trade, and, in some instances, a decline of quite
Is per quarter in tbo rates paid on this day s'ennight. At
the conclusion of business, a clearance had not been effected.
The show of Foreign was again small, yet, owing to the
millers evincing an uneasiness to purchase at present prices,
the trade was in a sluggish state, at barely last week's quotations.
Notwithstanding the quantity of Barley was limited, the
trade with that article was exceedingly dull, at an abatement
in value of from Is to 2s per quarter. Superfine White
Malt moved off slowly, at full prices; but all other kinds
might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. With
Oats we were again scantily supplied. Still, however, the
Oat trade was slow, and prices were with difficulty sup-
ported. 'no sale of Beans was heavy, and when transac-
tions were forced is to 2s per quarter less money was taken.
In Peas next to nothing was doing, at a reduction of Is per
quarter. The Flour trade was very dnll, both for sack and
barrelled parcels, at barely late rates. Indian Corn was dull.

At the outports the arrivals have been small, viz., only
about 260 head of Beasts and Sheep, which have been
landed in very moderate condition, chiefly from Holland.
We had on offer to-day only 70 Beasts and 90 Sheep from
abroad. The quality being tolerably good, nearly the whole
was disposed of at full prices. The number of home-fed
Beasts on sale was seasonably extensive, and of full average
condition, yet the actual weight of beef was not equal to
that exhibited on Monday last. The dead markets being
heavily supplied with country-killed Meat, and the weather
by no means favourable to slaughtering, the beef trade was in
a very sluggish state, at, in most instances, a decline on last
week's quotations of 2d per 81bs., the highest figures
for the best Scots not exceeding 4s 2d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,400 Scots, home-breds and short-horns ;
from the northern districts, 600 short-horns ; from the
western and midland Counties, 500 Herefords, Hunts,
Devons, Sic.; from other parts of England, 400 of various
kinds; and, from Scotland, 90 horned and polled Sots. The
numbers of Sheep were again very small, owing to which,
the salesmen demanded advanced rates for that description
of stock. In some instances, a trifle more money was paid
for the primest Old Downs; but, as this advance was by no
means general, we can make no alteration in our last weeks
rates. The trade, however, must be considered firm ; and a
good clearance was effected. There were about 300 shorn
sheep offering. With Calves, we were scantily supplied, yet
the Veal trade was heavy, at the late decline in value. Pigs
were in moderate supply, and sluggish inquiry, at unaltered
rates.
