THE NELSON LETTERS AND DISPATCHES. Edited
by Sir Harris Nicolas. Vol. s.—The present volume
of this valuable national work is in some respects more
interesting than the preceding ones, on account of the
selections that have been made from Nelson's private
correspondence, including that with Lady Hamilton. No
part of the editor's task, we are told, has been so diffi-
cult as to decide upon the course which ho ought to fol-
low with respect to the latter. It was his original inten.
tion to omit it altogether, " but this was found inexpe-
dient, because, after the separation from Lady Nelson,
this correspondence describes Nelson's private feelings
more fully and more naturally than any of his other let-
ters." The private letters in this volume are chiefly ad-
dressed to the Duke of Clarence, Lord St. Vincent, Mr.
Addington, Lord Minto, Sir Alexander Ball, Lady Ha-
milton, Mr. Davison, his brother, De. Nelson, and his
daughter. They are full of deeply interesting passages
which reveal the man, as his public correspondence does
the hero and commander. His public letters and dis-
patches to the British Minister at Naples, the Turkish
Government, the Barbary Powers, t-,e British Ambas-
sador at Constantinople, the Dey of Algiers, the Secre-
tary at War, the Admiralty, &c., evince the extraordi-
nary activity of his mind, the energy of his character,
and the noble zeal which always animated him whenever
and wherever the glory and interest of England were
concerned.—John Bull.

NEW WORKS AT THE POST OFFICE.—In order to
obtain additional accommodation at the Post-office, St.
Martin's-le•Graml, two new rooms, of large size, have
been formed for letter-sorters over a part of the present
building, under the direction of Mr. Sydney Smirke. As
the span is considerable, and it was desirable to occupy
as little space with the floor as possible, a series of iron
arches has been introduced, to support at the same time
the roof and (by means ofsuspending rods) the timbers
of the floor. The construction being novel and ingenious,
we shall shortly illustrate it in detail.—The Builder.
BURKE'S PEERAGE AND BARONETAGR FOR 1846.
—This work has long maintained it,: ground as the best
Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage
and Baronetage of the British Empire, and as the fi st
authority on all questions affecting the aristocracy. A
new edition has just been published, with many improve-
' ments and additions. The con idential communications
which have been m ide to Mr Burke from the most
distinguished families, in consequence of the great
estimation in which his labours are held, have still
further tended to render his work unique of its kind, and
an indispensable adjunct to every library in the kingdom.
PETERBOROUGH.-We understand that the "re-
spectable minority" are fully determined to have their
share in the nomination of a representative fur Peter-
borough, and that active steps are taking for this pur-
-1 pose. M. D. Hill, Esq., is expected to keep himself in
readiness when called upon ; his political creed is said
to be " not of the ultra-Radical kind, though he will
support the ballot, household suffrage, and the abolition
of the corn-laws." Mr. Whitwell, a highly respectable
chemist and druggist, is expected to be the chairman of
Mr. Hill's committee, seeing he has taken the most active '
steps in putting an end to the nomination by a Peer,
being determined no longer to submit to dictation, let it
come from what quarter it may.—Shit ford Mercury.
The Marquis of Anglesea arrived in town last
evening. The Marchioness is at present staying at Bath.
THE NEW BRITISH IRON COMPANY.—At a general
meeting of the Company, held yesterday at the offices in New
Broad-street, at which were present Sir George Larpeut,
R. Ricardo, Esq., J. Ravenshaw, Esq., ajor-General
M'lnnes, Horsley- Palmer, Esq., &c. ; the net profits of the
year were announced to be 53,000/., out of which a dividend
of 2/. per share was declared, besides setting aside 15 000/. as
a reserve fund. Several of the proprietors present ,expressed
themselves highly gratified with the results of the year,and
on the motion of Mr. Hitchins, 1,000/. was voted to the
Directors for their valuable services ; and on the motion of
Mr. Horsley Palmer, a vote of thanks was passed to Sir
George Larpent for his valuable services, and in particular
for having introduced into, and carried tbrough, Parliament
the Company's Bill,

MELANCHOLY CIRCUMSTANCE.—The smack John
George, of Bridgwater, Gulliford, master, laden with coals
from Cardiff, in coming up the Bridgwater river, too early on
tide, on Wednesday night, touched on the Cut Sand, and
capsized immediately, and the result was four persons met a
watery grave.—Taunton Couri.T.
It is our painful duty to record the sudden demise
of the Rev. John West, Rector of the contiguous parishes of
Chettle and Farnham, Dorset. This much-lamented gentle-
man has been for many years known to the public as a
staunch advocate for ameliorating the condition and educat-
ing the lost tribe called "Gipsies," and at the present time
there is in process of erection a school at Farnham, Dorset,
to be devoted expressly to the children of that race.—
Taunton Courier.
