EXAMINER, Noumns 16, 1850.

This extraordinary compilation maintains its high character. For
copiousness, correctness, and admirable classification, it has no
approach to a competitor. It is not simply one Directory; it is a
dozen separate Directories; yet so skilfully arranged and connected
as to tend each to the other's greater completeness. The several
Directories of streets, trades, professions and persons, are a re-
marka,de example of this. Each is complete in itself, yet none
would be so to the same extent merely by itself..successive years
(and the book is now fifty-two years old) have contributed their ex-
perience, -till the arrangement may be pronounced nearly perfect.
But we are needlessly commending what is become a public, neces-
sity to every one engaged in the general business of London life.
Perhaps we could hardly express the magnitude or wonders of our
city more forcibly to the foreign friends who visit us next May,
than by placing in their hands this astonishing record of the trades
and callings, of the several modes of life, of the infinitely vast and
various streams of human existence and interests, which are now
all gathered together under the name of London.

SPECTATOR, NOVEMBER 16, 1850.

This gigantic publication, with Its two thousand pages of closely-
packed type, seems to leave nothing more to be desired in the way
of new subjects, or the exhibition of those subjects in different as-
pects, so that the searcher, who from want of particulars falls in
one mode cf examination, may have recourse to another. If there
are here and there slight errors or omissions of detail, they may
fairly be ascribed to the multiplicity of minutiae, or to the necessity
of sometimes relying on second-hand information. It would be well,
however, to bear in mind the necessity of unceasing watchfulness as
regards accuracy.

JOHN BULL, NOVEMBER 16, 1850.
The fifty second edition of that monster repertory of the great
Babylon of modern times, and of all that dwell and trade therein,
—Kelly's " Post Office London Directory for 1851"—is now lying
before us; bearing witness in its annually increasing bulk to the
incessant growth of the metropolis in all directions. In every de-
partment of its encyclopmdic contents the present edition furnishes
evidence of the indefatigable industry with which it is kept au
courant' of the countless changes which take place from year to year
in so vast a population.

HERAPATIPS RAILWAY JOURNAL, NovEmßEa .16, 1850.
The flay-second annual edition, which has just appeared, merits
all that could be said for it. The Messrs. Kelly seem to glory in
their "Post Office Directory," and to strive, year after year, to effect
improvements. It is impossible to deny that up to, and including
the present praiseworthy ed Lion, they have succeeded. They have
now securely in their hands the monopoly of the book, and far from
abusing it, the result bears evidence that it has been beneficial to
the public.

ATLAS., NovEnons 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
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 materials for suck 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, DECEMBER 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 an I arranging the materials, or of the
variety of the subjects comprised in this Directory, is beyond our
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
anker—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 indispensable.

MINING JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 10, 1850.
The old adage, that " a great book is a great evil," is triumphantly
faMfled by the annual publication of this imposing volume, with its
2,000 pages, and its vast mass of practical information. All competi-
tors, at all approaching the same comprehensive scale, have lately
dropped off; so that the work, both in its dimensions and the im-
mense variety of information it affords, is now unique. It stands
alone, and is likely•long to remain so in the extent of its resources
the collective array of details of streets and squares of the great
metropolis and inhabitants thereof. The admirable clas,ffication and
arrangement of this mass of information forms, perhaps, its most
striking feature and the secret of its usefulness, since under its various
heads—" Official," "Commercial," "Trades," " Parliamentary,"
" Banking," &c.—the required fact may almost infallibly be ascer-
tained. It cannot be presumed that there is any apparent improve-
ment on its predecessors of the last few years, since the arrange-
ments hardly admitted of a change for the better. There is ample
evidence, however, that the 52nd volume of the Directory contains

the latest changes up to the time of its appearance—in that respect
doing vast credit to the watchful care bestowed upon
its contents down to the minutest details. In a word, it em-
bodies a dozen Directories in one, each under its separate depart-
ment containing the precise information calculated to be of practical
use to the public for whom it has been so elaborately compiled.

LITERARY GAZETTE, NOVEMBER 16, 1850.
This massive volume, which yearly increases in siza and useful-
ness, has made its usual appearance. The inhabitants of London are
catalogued for us by the editors, not only alphabetically, but accord-
ing to their occupations and residences. A " Parliamentary Direc-
tory," a " Postal Directory," and " City," " Conveyance," " Bank-
ing," and " Assurance Directories," contain under their respective
heads every item of information that can be useful, so admirably
arranged as to be instantly accessible. No resident in the metropolis
should be without the " I'ost Office Directory." It is as necessary
and serviceable to tke Nobleman and the Esquire, as it is absolutely
essential to the Banker, the Lawyer, the Merchant, the Manufac-
turer, and the Tradesman.

BRITANNIA, NOVEMBER 16, 1850.
MODERN BABYLON,
The advertisement sheets of a leading journal have with justice
been characterised as the miniature of the wants, the wises, and
the employments of the nation, of which a perfect Directory would
be the daguerreotype. Such a sun-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 London en masse, but merely of her upper and
middle classes. All will agree with us in designating the well-
known" Post Office Directory" as almost use'ul book, if not an actual
necessary to the man of business. We must, however, go further,
and speak of it as one as full of instruction as of information,
and more profitable for useful consideration than many a book filled
from cover to cover with statistics of men and things. In its
mass of type we have London laid out before us, in the social re]
lations of her people, as clearly as the best panorama has ever
depicted the brick and stone of her outward garb. She is here,
living, breathing London, represented by the classes who form the
strength of her populatiox, who not only consume, hut by them-
selves and their subordinates. create the wealth of which site boast s.
n
Let us consider the vaows divisions of our higher and middle clisses
as they are mapped out before us. Within her boundaries, as the
mart of commerce, as well as the seat of Royalty and Government—
the emporium of trade, as well as the centre of professional exertion
and talent—officials, courtiers, merchants, professionals, and trades-
men, are gathered in perfect masses. When we speak of these
boundaries we speak not of the narrow closely-packed city, within
its ancient line of walls, whence the great aggregate of the metro-
polis takes its name, but of that aggregate of life and life's abodes
that forms the practical metropolis. We speak of a city of upwards
of seven thousand streets, and more than one hundred and fifteen
thousand houses, inhabited by the upper and middle classes. We
speak of a city in which more than two thousand different trades
are carried on, where commerce musters upwards of seventy-six
thousand followers—where thirty-thousand officials are daily at
work—and where upwards of sixteen hundred barristers hope for
business, with the encouraging knowledge that were all the metro-
politan attornles there among them, there would be just a brace for
each member of the other branch of the profession. For five miles
from north to south, for nearly eight from east to west, this city
extends, with little more space uncovered by houses than suffices
for the daily traffic of its masses, and same half-dozen tiny lungs for
their weekly respiration. When we bear in mind that these num-
bers refer only to the upper and middle classes of our metropolitan
hive, we shall not be surprised at the numbers of masters whom we
find arranged under each separate head of those divisions of science
or art into which we must now sub-divide London. Indeed, their
numbers, more especially when due regard is paid to the numbers of
the sections by which the necessaries of life are furnished, form the
best evidence of the swarming masses of our working popu-
lation which go to 1111 up the complement of its myriads.
Large as is the population accounted for among the
list of " respectables," it sinks into insignificance when
compared with that living swarm for which the pur-
veyors of food in London buy and sell. Our capitalists require
e
500 architects and 800 builders to devise and build houses for them,
and spoil streets ; as well as an equal number of artists to paint
their forms and faces. Our delicate eaters rejoice in the pre-
r Ourl g
knowledges ice of 4BO

s;
lovers of smoke fear no tobacco famine whilst 800 shops remain
open for the sale of the noxious weed. Our ladies have 800 linen-
drapers' shops at their command—good,
.bad, and indifferent ; be-
sides 240 haberdashers, and upwards of 30 0 hosiers and glovers
and wU
druggists r ut gh i
For their brighter ornaments other 300jewellers labour, whilst
nearly 1,000 milliners form the delicate coverings on which the
jewels are to sparkle. If we turn from luxuries to necessaries, from
the adornment of the body and the gratification of the tastes, to its
necessary support and the coverings that nature demands, the supply
of master traders is equally unbounded. Mere than fifteen hundred
butchers keel) shops tor our repasts, aided by a thousand green-
grocers, to supply vegetables ; two thonsand four hundred other
grocers add their uselul condiments to our meals ; as many bakers
pray to supply the family with that mixture called London bread ;
whilst hard upon two thousand publicans, aided by half a thousand
retailers, will send in the requisite supply of malt at a moment's
`notice.
Two thousand Aix hundred professors of tailoring await

FIFTY AND 'FIFTY-ONE.
Ihe Nineteenth Century Is now equally divided. The last
day of the first Fifty years has been rung out, and the first day of
the succeeding Fifty has been rung in. The departure of one
year, and the advent of another, are ever regarded with feelings of
interest ; and the commencement of a new half century Is looked
upon as an epocha in the history of the world.
The statesman, the historian, the philosopher, and the 4moralist,
are equally alive to the importance and interest attaching to such a
conjuncture.
The dawning of the present year is viewed with unusual interest,
not merely because it is the initial year of a new half century, but,
likewise, because it is to be distinguished by one of the most extra-
ordinary events (it not the most extraordinary) that has ever
transpired.
It will not be expected that MOSES and SON will remain silent
at a moment like the present; more especially when it is recollected
that the Proprietors make a practice at this season of acknowledg-
ing past obligations in trade, and soliciting future favours with a re.
assurance of future endeavours.
It mast be evident to everybody, that ever since E. MOSES and
SON commenced, there has been a certain, unfluctuating progres-
sion in their trade. Like as the quicksilver of the thermometer rises
in its glass, as the day opens and warms, has the trade of E. MOSES
and SON risen year after year beneath the warm support of an ap-
proving Public.
That such a simile is not a mere hyperbole, the discerning Public
have abundont proof—proof too clear and conclusive to be disputed
by any candid observer.
The Parent Speculation of E. MOSES and SON in the City has
spread and spread year after year, till it has become the most gigan-
tic trading house in the world.
Again: so great has been the demand for the advantages held out
by the Proprietors, that two important towns in Yorkshire (Brad-
ford and Sheffield) have been made the scenes of still further opera-
tions; for the success attending which, E. IKOSES and SON have
had to make distinct and special acknowledgments in the annual ad-
dresses of previous years.
Thus far It is evident that each succeeding year has surpassed its
predecessor in the public support realized by the Proprietors. Nor
can less be, with truth, asserted of the year which has just expired.
Eighteen Hundred and Fifty has been distinguished by the opening
of a vast West-end Branch Dress Mart, the opening of which was
hinted at in the annual address of last year.

To each of the Establishments thus referred to, the year Eighteen
Hundred and Fifty has been a year of undoubted prosperity; prospe-
rity of which the proprietors find it difficult to convey an adequate
idea, and prosperity for which they find it utterly impossible to make
an adequate return in the present circular. There is one satisfac-
tion, however, namely—that were the Proprietors to occupy whole
columns of the public prints in expressing the sincerity of their ac-
knowledgments, the public would consider their professions as
utterly valueless, were their acknowledgments unaccompanied by
corroborative merits. It is but reasonable to conclude that an im-
partial and enlightened public would not have supported E. MOSES
and SON to the extent which they have done, were there not some
sterling inducements held out by the Proprietors.
It is admitted on all hands, that the secret of the success which
E. MOSES and SON have realised, lies in the excellence and ele-
gance of their attire, coupled with the exceedingly moderate prices
at which the articles are sold.
That such advantages shall be extended in the year 1851, the
public need not question. That Grand Exhibition, which the Ame-
rican President has denominated " The World's Fair," has not been
overlooked by E. MOSES and SON.
It is difficult to conceive what will be the result of suck an Exhi-
bition ; but e hatever that result may be, E. MOSES and SON are
bent on distinguishing themselves in no ordinary manner. The pre-
sent year has not come upon the proprietors unawares. From the
very moment that her Majesty's Royal Consort gave birth to his
comprehensive conception, E. MOSES and SON have been on the
alert in preparing a stock of attire of every description, such as no
preceding year has Witnessed. For immensity of stock, variety of
assortment, quality and beauty of cloth, novelty and elegance of
fashion, and surprising eh, apness, E. MOSES and SON will be found
to be unequalled.
The Proprietors would Isere intimate, that the moment the Royal
Commissioned commenced its operations, or as soon as the Great Ex-
hibition was first mentioned, they put themselves in cemmunicatiou
with the principal manufacturers in woollen and other fabrics, and
that they have succeeded, by means of awarding liberal prizes, in
securing some of the most tasty and novel materials for gentlemen's
dress, which will be ready for exhibition at the commencement of
the ensuing Spring Season.
By thus extending the advantages of their trade, the Proprietors
intend to recompense a liberal public, and secure a continuance of
support, so abundantly realised a' present.
As the West-end Branch Establishment was a project of the past
year, E. MOSES and SON are induced to make a special allusion to
it. The support which this speculation has received, flar, im-
measurably far, exceeds even what the Proprietors themselves had
anticipated ; such triumphant support has here been achieved by E.
MOSES and SON, as fully convinces them that this opening was
none other than a step in the right direction.
by prooof success, E.
Heartily acknowledging
this special
that, the in
11l the
dustry of all MOSES
nations,
and SON would conclude, hoping

fADVERTISEDIENT.]—For Asthma and Bad Coughs
Holloway's Pills are a Positive Cure.—At this inclement and
foggy season of the year coughs and colds are more rife than
at any other period, and those afflicted with asthma suffer with
great severity ; therefore it is well to know that Holloway's
Pills will cure the most inveterate cases, their efficacy having
been tested under various circumstances, and in almost every
clime, proving them to be the most successful remedy that ever
was used. 'the peculiar properties they possess have the effect
of throwing off the phlegm, relieving the cheat, giving a per-
fect freedom of respiration, and thus inducing a healthy acticn
of the lungs.—Sold by all vendors of medicine, and at Pro-
fessor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

ST. STEPHEN'S, WALBSOOK.—It is much to be
regretted that the church has been covered with compo, and
that the old house at the corner of Charlotte-row and Wal-
brook, on the north side of the tower, is allowed to remain.
By its removal, an entrance to the church from that public
and more convenient street might be made, which would
show the tower to far greater advantage, and terminate the
vista from the Poultry. About once a month we receive a
letter urging the desirableness of removing this house, not
merely in point of appearance, but because of the risk of fire
to which the church is in consegnencet subjected, and we do
hope that before long this improvement wilt be macifi—
Builder.
TUE PAPER DUTIES.—At a meeting of the Bir-
mingham Town Council yesterday, Mr. Alderman Baldwin,
in a long speech full of facts and interesting details, moved
the adoption of a petition to Parliament, praying for the re-
peal of the duties on paper and advertisements, and also the
newspaper stamp. Mr. C. &urge seconded the motion.
Some difference of opinion was expressed as to the proper
mode of proceeding, and as to whether such a movement
ought not to originate with the merchants and traders of the
town. Ultimately, however, Alderman Baldwin's petition
was carried almost unanimously, and Mr. Scholefield,
requested to present it t 9 the Rouse of COHIIIIOIIIS.
