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 not reerable 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 portien 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 any Increase of price. The ' 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 oommercaal
country this is an indispensable volume.
RAILWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846.
The sew volume of the Post-oitice 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. Tie pro-
duction of a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has
placed is the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and
indispensable aid in carrying an the business of this vast metropolis,
which would indeed be subjected to the greatest inconvenience and
expense if it were net 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 eur anticipatory notice is in any
degree exaggerated.
HERAPATEPS RAILWAY JOURNAL, Nov. 21, 1846.
The Post-office Directory for 1847 appears with additions and
improvements noon its valuable predecessor, but with no enlarge
ment in the price. The continued enterprising spirit with which
this important, and it is net 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 purchsse of the co fight by Its rxesent proprietor,
to be conitncoct that the mere eouriezion of the ' Directory' with
the Post-office has little, if at all, contributed to its proud high cha-
racter. That the improvements (the result of many years of un-
wearied toil and application on the part of these engaged in the coin-
pilationof 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."

DIAMOND CARCEL LAMP ! NEW
LIGHT !I—The Diamend Cared Light is the best Light in
the World. The Carcel Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe.
It burns oil, but is free from all imperfections of ordinary oil lamps ;
burns from sunset till morning without attention. No cleaning
required for years. Is so simple, it cannot be mismanaged It
never will be outdone. The Diamond Carcel Lamp is perfection in
light. The public will have none ether. Designs the most chaste
and elaborate to suit every taste.—To be had only. and seen daily,
at CLARK'S, the Immense Lamp Depot, 447, West Strand, ten
doors from Lowther-arcade. Every person's Lamp can be fitted
with the Diamond Burner. N.B. The pretended Carcel Lamp only

THE LIGHTS for FUTURE DAYS.
All can now be pleased, whatever is desired in Light. The
PEARL C ANDLE 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 hays long enough
been pestered with such rubbish.
The DIAMOND CAItCEL 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 cal 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 night, to illumine the British territory.
These splendid Lights burning continually at CLARK'S, the
Immense LAMP DEPOT, 447, West Strand, ten doors from Low-

ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or, PEARL DEN-
TIFRICE , a WHITE POWDER for the TEETH, com-
pounded of the choicest and most reserchi ingredients of the Oriental
Herbal, of inestimable value for preserving and beautifying the
Teeth and strengthening the Gums. It extirpates all tar tarous adhe-
sions to the Teeth, and ensures a pearl-like whiteness to the ena-
melled suriace. Its Anti•Septie and Anti-Scorbutic Properties arrest
the further 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. Ihe Breath also attains a fragrant
sweetness truly gratefhl 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 anneunses the
favenr in which it is universally held. Price 21s. 9d. per box.
CAUTION.—To protect the public from fraud, the Ran. Commis-
sioners have directed the proprietors' name and address to be en-
graved on the Government stamp, thus "A. ROWLAND and SON,

TILE CHANCELLOR'S BUDGET.
This political topic is certainly one
Which is very well suited to MOSIell and SON.
The Chancellor's Budget appears to possess
Many very good hints which pertain to cheap dress ;
But the part of the speech which appears to stand chief,
Is the grant of " Ten Millions" for yielding relief,
This certainly sounds very loud in the Budget,
But good is the purpose, and none will begrudge it :
Both Scotland and Ireland, two sisters in woe,
Will quickly revive with the help we bestow,
Much, much of this vast aum of money, no doubt,
By the poor of each country will soon be laid ant,
Not only in buying provision to eat,
But dress for the body, and shoes for the feet ;
And here may a treble advantage be wan,
By obtaining the garments of MOSES and SON.
If all the " Ten Millions" in dress were laid out,
E MOSES and SON would be ready no doubt.

FOOD RIOT—STATE of the NORTH.
Avocs.—At the village of Avoch, in Ross-shire, very
determined opposition was made by the fishermen and
others of the villagers, upon Friday and Saturday last,
to an attempt, by Mr. George More, farmer and corn-
dealer, to ship some barley. Mr. More having applied
for protection in the shipment, Mr. Jardine, the sheriff
of the county, accompanied by Mr. Cameron, the sheriff-
substitute, Mr. Mackenzie, the procurator-fiscal, and some
officers, repaired to Avoch upon Friday, and were joined
there by r,ir Jas. Mackenzie, Mr. Davidson, of Tulloch,
and others. Arrangements had been made for procuring
from Fort-George, the aid of acompany of the 76th Regi-
ment; but the forenoon was so siormythat they could not
be brought across the ferry in time to render their ser-
vices available that day. In their absence the sheriff
and his party endeavoured, but in vain, to obtain ac-
cess to the vessel, which lay at the pier-head to receive
the grain. Previously to their arrival, the entrance to
the pier had been barricaded by means of boats reversed,
and, when they came up, a crowd of from 100 to 200
men and women, old and young, expressed to them, very
unequivocally, their resolution to obstruct the grain in
its passage to the ship. Proceedings were, in coipe-
Veastes 4*470--until_ aattirJey ,f9renoon,;,tvllen,_ at,4

sixty men and two officers frost the Fort. The villagers
had, in the meantime, loosened the vessel from her
moorings, and it was not until about two o'clock the
state of the tide admitted of her being afloat ; but
several of the fishermen entered their boats in the
harbour, with the evident design of drawing her
away, should she move towards the piith b
One or
er. The
people were addressed, and reasoned with
the Sheriff and others to no purpose.
the crowd read aloud the resolutions of a meeting held
about a fortnight ago, containing a pledge, subscribed
by Mr. More among others, not to export any more
grain from the district this season. This was rather an
untoward circumstance ; and we doubt whether the
Sheriff, had he known it earlier, would have felt himself
bound to comply with the requisition for protection. All
parties being now on the ground, however, it was too
late to retrace their steps, and explanations and argu-
ments have failed to induce the people to retire, the so
w l-
diers were ordered to secure the command of the pier—
the boats lying across, the access to hich were
literally covered with women—and the Sheriff read the
Riot Act. The people continued determined to resist,
saying they might as well die then as starve for
want of food ; but as the preparations for a
conflict approached maturity, Mr. More consultedto his
friends, and came forward and declared that, " pr-
vent bloodshed," he had resolved to abandon the intendeon
d
shipment, and to retain the grain in the countrye young
which the people cheered and chaired him. Thre
men, considered to have been active in the riot, wfre ap-_
prehended on the spot, and sent away to the prisen.haosf
Dingwall under a military escort, and so the affair
ended for the present. Farmers and corn-defeat.in
Ross-shire complain that they are subjected to g .m-
-coavenience by suspension of shipments of grain, on
to the non-arrival of the 27th regiment, which has been
expected in Fort George for the last three weeks—theen
whole disposable force in the garrison having no, bhe
dispatched to Caithness, to quell the food riots in t at
county. —lnverness Courier.

may be Mr. Russell's pride, that he,

Through the medium of his art, he has constantly aimed at
the amelioration of the poorer classes. He has made the
truth plead for them,—he; has familiarised the wealthy, the
Aristocracy, and the proud, with the sufferings and wrongs
of the humble and lowly. His is a high mission, and he
fulfils it worthily.
We may add that a new system has been
introduced by Mr. Russell at the Strand Theatre. At other
places of amusement the attendants expect fees for taking
charge of cloaks, bonnets, &c., but at Mr. Russell's no such
