ATLAS, NOYEUBER 16, 1850,

'Year after year adds to the wonders of this digest of the most
wonderful of modern cities. "London," said M. Scribe, "is not a
city, but an agglomeration of divers interests, passions, and preju-
dices." Whatever these may be, they are all tabled in this volume;
with a completeness and accuracy without a parallel. We scarcely
know which to be the most proud of—the enormous city which could
furnish material's for such a work, or the industry and enterprise
necessary to reduce to order such a complex variety of facts, which
make the volume as interesting to the curious as it is indispensable
to men of business. The volume this year extends to 2,091 pages.
The classification is the same as usual; in fact, it was impossible to
improve upon it. We have examined for ourselves many of the new
references for the present year, and can bear testimonyto their per-
fect accuracy.

BELL'S WEEKLY MESSENGER, DECEMBEI 7, 1850.
We congratulate Mr. Kelly on the appearance of the; fifty-second
edition of this most valuable publication. To convey a correct idea
by description of the enormous; amount of labour which must have
been employed in collecting ant arranging the materials, or of the
variety of the subjects comprised in this Directory,
power. A mere enumeration of the general heads under which
these subjects are placed would fill a column of our paper. Suffice
it, therefore, to say, that to the merchant, the trader, the lawyer, the
tanker—in fact, to every class of the community whose business
may lead them to require the aid of a Directory, Mr. Kelly 'S volume
is indisp _nsable. is beyond our

MINING JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 16, 1850.
The eld adage, that " a great book is a great evil," is triumphantly
falsified by the annual publication of this imnosin volume, with Its
2,000 pages, and its vast mass of practical information. All conmeti-
tors, at all approaching the same conlprehensive scale, have lately
dropped off; so that the work, both in its dimensions and the im-
mense variety of information IL affords, is now unique. It stands
alone, and is likely long to remain so in the extent of its resmrces
the collective array of details of streets and squares of the great
metropolis and inhabitants thereof. The admirable classification and
arrangement of this mass of information forms, perhaps,
striking feature and the secret of its usefulnessT since imdcrits various

MODERN BABY I ONT . .
The advertisement sheets of
e. lading journal al have with justice
been characterised as the miniature of the wants, the wisnes, and
the employments of the nation, of which a perfect Directory would
be the daguerreotype. Such a son-painting of living London now lies
before us, comprised in a mass of paper and print that frights us
to behold. More than two thousand pages of close printing, and many
columns in each page, are required to chronicle the residences and the
occupations, not of Landoll en masse, but merely of her upper and

and more profitable for useful consideration than many a book filled

lotions of her people, as clearly aa the

the emporium of trade, as as the centre of professional exertion

boundaries we speak not of the narrow closely_packed city, within
its ancient line of walls, whence the great aggregate of the metre-
polls takes its name, but of that

IMPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC.
THE AMERICAN SPECIFIC for GOUT,
RHEUMATISM, LUMBAGO, SCIATICA, &c.
The Propri,tors of the above medicine respectitffly inform the
public and persons who are afflicted with any of the above painful
complaints, that they may at once rid themselves oT either in a few
days, and which have hitherto been considered incurable, by pur-
chasing one 2s. 9d. bottle of the AMERICAN SPECIFIC, a few
doses of which give immediate relief, and the taking of one bottle of
the medicine, in many cases, effects a permanent cure ; or, if at any
time there is the slightest symptoms of a return, a dose or two occa-
sionally will immediately carry it off.
THE AMERICAN SPECIFIC is sold, wholesale, by Messrs.
BARCLAY'S, Farringdon-street, and retail by all respectable Medi-
cine Venders.

In Btles, at 2s. 9d. eac.
May be obtained through any Chemist or Druggist.
The Proprietors would esteem it a personal favour, if parties who
have taken this medicine, and benefited by its efficacy, would ac-
knowledge the same (by 1 tter) to any of the Agents who have sup-
plied them with the American Specific.
The Proprietors beg distinctly to remark that the Medicine does
not contain one particle of Colchieum—its sole properties are a tonic
aperient and purifier of the blood.

HOW TO MEET WITH RESPECT,

Most persons delight in a mark of respect,
Nor are we surprised, when we come to reflect ;
'Tis pleasing when all individuals seem
To think us deserving of marks of esteem,
And 'tie but a natural wish, after all,
To desire respect from the great and the small.
Now, the way to obtain this respect, more or less,
Is centred in one little syllable, "Dress ;"
Only think what respectable clothing has done,
And especially that of E. MOSES and SON.
Respectful attention is gained by a suit,
And many have realised fortune to boot.
The greatest advantage, the greatest success
Are centred in that little syllable " Dress."
Then away to the Dress-mart of MOSES and SON,
Whose garments such boundless approval have won ;
Such elegant dresses were never displayed,
Till the Warehouse of MOSES appeared in the trade ;
And as for the cloth and the putting together,
The clothing will serve you in all kinds of weather ;
You'll find when you see them, they've, not a defect,
And when you once wear them, you'll meet with respect;
And many good chances in life will be won,
If you take the costumes of MOSES and SON.
