ERAPATII'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846.

The " Post-office Directory" for 1847 appears with additions and
improvements upon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge-
ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with NA Mai thi,
important, and it is not a misapplication of terms to say, national
work is conducted, merits the highest commendation, We know not
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 hands of Government ; but, should it be attempted,
surely the following statement of its conductors will go home to the
consciences, if they have any, of the parties seeking to draw down
the grasping interference of Government :—" It can only be neces-
sary to refer to a copy of the work published 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 character. That the improvements
(the result of many years of unwearied toil and application on the
part of those engaged in the compilation of the work) are duly appre-
ciated is now happily beyond all question ; prior to the Directory'
passing to its present proprietor, rival books contended successfully
with this—they have disappeared."

Prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to
