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
manner of collecting the information ; and a larger portion of the
work than heretofore has been confided to selected agents entirely
unconnected with the Post mice; 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 im-
portant alterations in this volume for 1847, and added to its bulk
without any increase in Trice. The," Postal Directory" is especially
improved, 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 commercial coun-
try this is an indispensable volume.

RATLWAY HERALD, Nov. 21, 1846.
The new volume of the Post Office Directory for 1847 Is already
in osr 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 merit to have maintained its former
reputation, it is 'a great merit to have surpassed itself. The produc-
tion of a work unequalled for accuracy and for clearness has placed in
the hands of the commercial public a most valuable and indispensable
aid in carrying on the business of this vast metropolis, which would
indeed be 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 the opportunity of judging for themselves on purchasing the new
volume, whether our anticipatory notice is in any degree exaggerated.

BRITANNIA, Nov. 21, 1846.
The French people have done themselves credit by their industrial
expositions. But If must be acknowledged that, though ingenims
and pretty, they appear quite insignificant compared with the indus-
trial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty volume. Keep.
ing pace with the advancing trade and population of London, it still
Increases in bulk; and, keeping pace with the movement of society
in a more important particular, it vigilontly seizes every opportunity
of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete
classification. We find in this volume many instances of superiority
to former issues, which, though comparatively trifling, show the in-
telligence and care exercised over every department. It may be men-
tioned that by the employment of private agents, the changes of re-
sidence are now brought down to a later period than formerly, and
the value of the " Directory" is consequently enhanced. We have
before spoken of it as Indispensable to the proper management of
business. Its authority is now so universally established, both at the
Post-office and throughout the metropolis, that any further recom-
mendation of it is superfluous.

HERAPATH'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 v4hich this
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."

NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE
ASSURANCE COMPANY OF LONDON.
NITED KINGDOM. LIFE ASSURANCE
lJ COMPANY,
No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.
The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance
Company of London, is particularly called to the Ralf-credit Scales
of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de-
clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Com-
pany's affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual
payment of one-half the rates generally charged by other compa-
nies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduc-
tion of the other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the
declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the
Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may
be due thereon ; or in the event of the party being at that time in
bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age
as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Com-
pany, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division of profits
in the Equitable Assurance Company, in 1848, when it was largely
adopted, and many of the policies then effected are still in force,
and large bonuses have been added to them on the scale of the fol-
lowing table :

The Provisional Directors feeling assured that they can secure, by
renewed application to Parliament, the important and national
object which this railroad, Company originally contemplated, think
it expedient, and purpose in the ensuing session of Parliament to
seek for power to obtain a line from Killarney to yalentia, and for
no other part of the original line, and thus by the construction of 40
miles of railway in connexion with lines granted during the past
session of Parliament, to secure all the advantages set forth in their
original prospectus.
This shortened line will necessarily reduce the capital of the Com-
pany, and the Directors, under the powers granted to them by the
subscribers' agreement, reduce the 251. share to a 101. share, and thus
materially lessen the liability of the shareholders.
The shareholders are hereby informed, that, for the purpose of
prosecuting the above object, and under powers given to the pro-
visional Directors of this Company by the Deed of Settlement or
Subscribers' Agreement, they retain the moneys remaining in their
hands or at that of the bankers, if any such should remain, after pay-
ment of expenses incurred in prosecuting the undertaking ; and in
pursuance of the covenants therein contained, a Call is hereby made,
and the Provisional Directors hereby require the shareholders to pay
the sum of ss. per share, to be paid by them into.the hands of one of
the bankers of this Company, whose names and addresses are given
below, on account of the Provisional Directors, on or before Mon
day, the 14th day of December instant, for the purpose of makin
and completing the necessary preliminury Parliamentary deposits,
and defraying such further costs and charges as may he incurred in
the prosecution of the measures contemplated by the said Directorl.
The Directors feelevery confidence in prosecuting this scheme, and
point with satisfaction to the report. herewith annexed, of a Baronial
Meeting at lveragh, in the county of Kerry, for petitioning the Go-
vernment in aid of the prosecution and construction of this important
and national undertaking.

Baronial Meeting for Iveragh—Valentia Railway.
At a Meeting of Magistrates. Clergy, Gentry, and Cess-payers of
the barony of Iveragh, county of Kerry, assembled in Baronial
Sesssions at Caherciveen, on the 10th of tkrevember, 1816, for the
purpose of apph ing to Government for assistance to carry out such
remunerative and reproductive works as are best calculated to relieve
the present distress, and provide for the future employment of the
people, and develope the resources of the country, it was resolved :
The Court of, Baronial Sessions assembled in Caherciveen. on
MONDAY, the 9th of November, wish very respectfully to represent
once more to his Excellency, the great expense, inconvenience, delay,
and alarm, caused by the erroneous and perverse system of making
the harbours in the west of Ireland dependent on eastern ports and
channel navigation. for their supplies of Government stores and pro-
visions. That not only is great waste of public money incurred
thereby, but from the character of coast intervening, and the
obstacle of contrary winds, supplies have frequently been delayed,
In a manner to excite alann and risk famine. It cannot well be
understood why supplies for the Commissariat shall not be
made direct to Valentia, exempting the Government from
the cost of double freight and transhipment, an ex-
pense ascertained to amount in fuel alone, by steamers, to 21. per
ton, which in itself would make a difference in price calculated to
afford great relief. To Valentia in particular, which happens to be
the nearest harbour to America, and the best in the empire, the
saving of time and cost would be considerable—along a great extent
of coast—were a depotvessel like the Madagascar at Tarbert, or the
Dee steamer,'moored in this harbour, receiving its supplies direct
from New York, in Twelve or fourteen days, or by steam in seven.
The Court of Baronial Sessions, therefore, most respectfully submit
to your Excellency, the pressing expediency of stationing in Va-
lentia Harbour a depot vessel receiving her supplies direct from
America.
That we hail with satisfaction the announcement made by the Di-
rectors of the Wexford and Valentia Railway Company, that they are
about to take the necessary steps for coming before Parliament in the
nsuing session.
That we rejoice especially that the Directors have decided to aban-
don such parts of their original project as would involve them in ex-
pensive conflicts with existing Railway Commissioners, and to apply
only for a line from Killarney to Valentia, with a branch to Tralee,
by which judicious course they will curtail their expenditure, avoid
all risk of opposition from rival companies, and be enabled, at a very
moderate cost, by joining the terminus of the Killarney Junction, to
complete the chain of communication between the county and the
metropolis.
That, in addition to that advantage and to the benefit which will
be derived (by the Tralee branch) from connecting this barony with
our county town, (as there is no doubt, especially since the report of
Mr. Walker, the Admiralty engineer, that Valentia Harbour must
eventually become the American packet-station), the completion of
the Killarney and Valentia Railway will secure the immediate ac-
complishment of that event, and to this county the immense advan-
tage of becoming the thoroughfare from England and the whole of the
continent of Europe to the western world.
That deeply sensible how indebted this county, and especially the
barony of Iveragh, is to Mr. Attwood and other enlightened English
capitalists, who, though unconnected with this country, have from
their conviction of the national importance of the object projected
this valuable boon for Ireland, we much regret that this all-im-
portant project did net during the last session of Parliament advance
so far through the required stages as to place it in the category of
railways for which a baronial presentment may be made ; but we
most earnestly and respectfully pray his Excellency the Lord Lieu-
tenant of Ireland to endeavour to obtain from Government a grant of
money in aid of the line proposed from Killarney to Valentia.
That we urge this not only in order to prevent the rejection of a
remunerative and reproductive work which will afford employment
to the population of a district more than most needing such employ-
ment, and which must for the next three years have to struggle
through severe agricultural distress and difficulties ; but because we
consider that the completion of the Killarney and Valentia Railway
will produce national consequences of the highest value—from the aug-
mentation it will affect in the Post-office revenue—the improvement
it will cause in the communications with our North American and
West :Indian Colonies, bath for Government and commercial pur-
poses—the development it will give to internal traffic and the mar-
kets of labour and of agricultural produce, and that it will prove in
Its results the most important step ever achieved by private enter-
prise for the advancement of this portion of the British empire, and
for the industrial prosperity of Ireland.
The above resolution, proposed by James Butler, Esq., D.L.,
seconded by James Hickson, Esq., D.L..being unanimously adopted,
The meeting requested that Maurice O'Connell, Esq., M.P., would
take advantage of tile presence in Dublin of Daniel O'Connell, Esq.,
M.P., to request his powerful advocacy with his Excellency the Lord-
Lieutenant in behalf of the prayers of the resolutions.

SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE

SHOW.
This: annual exhibition of prize cattle, under the
auspices of the Smithfield Club, opened this day at the
Horse Bazaar, King-street, Portman-square. The pri-
vate view took place last evening, immediately after the
Judges had completed their award, an office which, we
may remark, has been one of extreme difficulty, this
year, owing to the general excellence of the stock sent
in for competition. _ _

The exhibition, altogether, displays a marked improve-
ment over any which have preceded it for some time
past. If the animals generally do not present the same
gigantic frames, clothed in unwieldy masses of fat,
which on some occasions heretofore have met our vies•,

there is a decided and very evident improvement in the
general breeding of the stock. The symmetry of some
of the oxen, notwithstanding their enormous weight, is
really marvellous, and we have seld')m' had occasion to
remark the admission of fewer animals of second-rate

pretensions.
Class 1. (which it may be well to inform our non-
agricultural readers is not the highest class in point of
merit in the exhibition) is perhaps somewhat inferior
this year to the same class on some former occasions.
Class 11. (the highest class in point of merit) boasts a
finer collection of animals than have been brought to-
gether in the same division for some years, Class 111.
is good ; Class VI. (the revived class for Scotch cattle)
equally satisfactory ; and Class VII. in point of excel-
lence has not been exceeded in any previous exhibition.
The sheep classes are very good ; and the pigs are of
average merit, but without calling fur particular re-
mark.

It will be seen from the subjoined list of awards that
the Prince Consort has obtained a full share of the
Judges' approbation this year. His Royal Highness
takes the second prize in Class 11., the first prize in
Chss III.; in Class VI. a Highland Scot, fed by the
Prince, is commended ; a Scot and Durham heifer, ex-
cluded from its class by overweight, and placed among
the extra stock, obtains a silver medal ; and a pen of
three Bedfordshire pigs, bred and fed by his Royal
Highness, obtain the second prize of 51. in Class
XVIII.
The Earl of Warwick takes the first prize of 301.,
with a gold medal, as the best ox, and a silver medal to
the breeder, for his Lordship's 5 years and 17 days old
Hereford ox, bred by Mr. John Thomas, of Cholstry,

near Leominster.
Mr. John Booth, of Killerby, near Catterick, York-
shire, receives the first prize of 151., with a gold medal,
as the best cow, and a silver medal to the breeder for his
9 years and 10 months old short-horned cow, bred by
himself.
Mr. John Painter, of Burley, near Oakham, takes the
first prize of 20L, with a gold medal, as the best long-
woolled sheep, and a silver medal to the breeder for his
pen of three 21 months old Leicester wethers, bred by
Mr. Robert Smith, of Burley.
Mr. Samuel Webb, of Babraham, takes the first prize
of 20/., with a gold medal, as the best short-woolled
sheep, and a silver medal to the breeder, for his pen of
three 20 months old Southdown wethers, bred by himself.
The Earl of Radnor receives the first prize of 101.,
with a gold medal, as the best pigs, and a silver medal
to the breeder, for his pen of three 45 weeks and 1 day
old Coleshill pigs bred by his Lordship.
• Among the other successful competitors will be found
many names well known in the agricultural world. The
Duke of Richmond and Mr. Webb, as usual, take a
large share of the prizes in the sheep classes. The
Marquis of Exeter, Sir Charles Wake, Bart., Lord
Southampton, the Earl of Leicester, Sir George Phil-
lips, Bart., Lord Portman, Mr. J. S. Burgess, Mr. M.
Twitchell, Mr. David Barclay, M.P., Mr. Goodlake, and
the Earl of Radnor, have also found favour with the
judges in the present exhibition.
The following is the official list of awards :

CUNDY'S PATENT OPEN FIRE
VENTILATING STOVE.
(Testimonial after one Winter's trial.)
" St. John's, Fulham, May 2, 1846.
"My dear Sir,—l have very 'great pleasure in giving my public
testimony to the efficiency of your stove, as combining the double
advantage of thoroughly warming and constantly ventilating any
large church or building. Your invention appeared to me to be in
theory all that could be desired, and I can honestly say that I have
not yet discovered the point in which the practice falls short of the
theory.

" The area of my church is computed to be nearly 200,000 cubical
feet, and, though a second stove will be required, the one already
erected has fully answered my highest expectations, and realised all
that you-have given me to expect. If confirmation wore needed for
evidence of its efficiency, I might further state that I had peculiar
difficulties to contend with—that various attempts had been made,
and that every attempt hail proved a signal failure—that I was ex-
posed to the charge of boldness in attempting what had baffled
others ; but that such is the power, the efficiency, and the comfort
communicated by your stove, that I know not of a dissentient voice,
and have heard only of approval with unanimous consent.
"I might add, that I was first led to the making inquiry respect-
ng your stove having gathered indirectly that a disposition, not un-
favourable towards it, was entertained in a certain high quarter,
where, on account of ability of discernment, the smallest approach
to approval must carry with it great weight.
"I remain, dear Sir, yours faithfully,
" WILLIAM GARRA.TT, Minister of St. John's, Fulham.
