RUSSIA,

The Breslau) Gazette has the following from the
frontiers of Russia, 31st ult. :—" Some days since at
Berdyezow there was read for the second time, to the
sound of the drum, the ukase of the Emperor, which
orders all Jewish women to wear their own hair, with
the remark that they were forbidden to wear a wig or
any ribbons in the form of hair. They are to assume
the dress of peasants, and to banish all kinds of luxury
from their toilets. It is certain that the Jewish
women will not submit to this last injunction. They
will prefer obeying the ukase according to its original
tenor. The authorities are determined to enforce the
execution of the Imperial ukase."

ATLAS, OCTOBER 18,_1851.

The "fifty-third edition":ofa work would scarcely appear to re-
quire a critical notice, and yet this fifty-third edition of the " Post
Office Directory," is so essentially a new book, that it is impossible
to allow its publication to pass over without bestowing on it a larger
share of a tention than any mere new edition of an established
work could possibly demand. Like the great metropolis, this Direc-
tory has, year by year, increased in value and importance ; year by
year the number of individuals it enumerates, classifies, and de-
scribes, has become larger and the book more bulky ; in the same
proportion the care and labour necessary for its careful production
have increased; and yet every year has seen it in some degree
better than its predecessor, anl more valuable to the public. It is
no slight praise to say that the present edition of the "Post Office
Directory" is an Improvement on the last. The competition with
which Mr. Kelly is threatened, appears to have determined him to
produce a volume which shall defy all rivalry, and it will be a diffi-
cult task for a publisher to bring out a work which can in any way
compare with it tor accuracy, classification, and price. There
appears to be nothing wanting in this Directory to render it com-
plete of its kind. During the number of years we have used it for
reference, we have never met with an error in it of any magnitude,
or one which affected its great usefulness, and if it is continued with
the same skill which has marked its editorship while it has been in
the hands of Mr. Kelly, we think he may safely trust to its well-
known excellence to protect him against the consequences of any
competition
London, England, 1851-11-15

the " Commercial Directory," where we may find the name if the
residence has escaped us ; then there are the " Trades'," " Law,"
and " Banking" Directories, where it is possible to hunt up a man
if we know his vocation, but cannot, without assistance, recall
either his name'or address. There are also other directing classi-
Beations —as Court, Parliamentary, Conveyance, Postal ; forming
an unparalleled work, which, however, has been three-and-fifty
years growing to its present size. The present volume appears
early; the demand, owing to ,the influx of strangers, consequent
upon the Great Exhibition, having exhausted the current edition
for 1851 ; and what would London be without a Directory ? Great
exertions, tis stated, have been made to-bring down the chances
to the latest moment; 'as a proof of it, the alterations consequent
upon the death of Lord Liverpool may be instanced.

of the Gmstitation of 1848. A commission has been
nominated to meet, on the I,t December, to na ,ke
new constitutional arrangements fur the two Duchies.
The Cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin, Bth,
says :—" 'fhe Prinee of Prussia has recently given
an explanation on the subject of the reports which
have been in circulation on the Government measure
for mobilising the army. His Royal Highness find-
ing himself in a circle of superior officers, and the
conversation turning on the subject, said, that he
should probably take the command of an army on
the Rhine, if events should require such a manifes-
tation, but that for the moment a war did not appear
probable."
On the fa an address, signed by several thousand
persons, was presented at Berlin to the Boon de
Manteuffel, the President of the Prussian Ministry.
The Berlin journals publish the reply to this address,
which had for its object to thank the Minister for his
firmness in the cause of order and national indepen-
dence. M. de Manteuffel says that he is very grateful
for the testimony, and that the people of Prussia may
rely on his perseverance in defending the monarchy
ageinst domestic enemies, and upholding its dignity
as regards other Stites.

TESTIMONIAL TO KOSSUTH.
Where there is a difference of opinion as to the amount of
credit or discredit due to a public man, there is a great difficulty, if
not an utter impossibility of proposing anything acceptable to all in
the case of Kossuth. Many people think him a hero and a martyr ;
others fancy he is an enemy to monarchy. One•party wishes him at
Copenhagen-fields, that they might see and hear him ; others wish
him at the North Pole, that they might see and hear no more of him.
What a striking difference in the fate of men. What a wonderful
odds between people who have one half the world loving and another
half hating them, and people who have everybody in their favour.
This may, however, be for substantial benefits conferred, as in the
case of E. MOST S and SON, who for Diet ast twenty or thirty years
have been saving the public half their expenses n dress. And how
did they do this? bv investing an enormous capital, by incurring a
great risk, by trying- a great experiment. As, however, they
founded their proceedings on the hope that the people at large would
see their own interest, and deal where they were best use,l,
they have not been disappointed. How should they be ? Every man
who buys an article pays but half the sum he has been used to before
he dealt with them, and found he had a better article. Let any one
go and look at the Winter Dresses, the Over-coats, Cloaks, and
extra-warm Clothing, and he will see such a contrast in the style
and workmanship to any he has seems elsewhere, that he cannot but
try them, and once trying is enough. Hundreds of new customers
come daily, but none were ever known to have gone elsewhere after
a trial.

MINING JOURNAL, OCTOBER 25,1851,

e fifty-third annual edition of this useful work has just appeared,
and judging from its contents, is by no means inferior to its prede-
cessors, and fully sustains the reputation it has co well earned, as
being the only correct key to the names and addresses of the se-
veral trades and professions in this vast metropolis. As a work of
reference, it is decidedly most useful and necessary to the man of
business. No banking or merchants' office should be without it. A
smaller edition has likewise been published, which, though not so
comprehensive as the larger, contains an immense mass of useful
formation ; and both the works are eminently entitled to the nitme
of " handbooks to the commerce of the first commercial city in the
world."

JOHN BULL, OCTOBER 25, 1851.

The accelerated sale of the last edition of this stupendous reper-
tory of London statistics, occasioned by the Great Exhibition, has
induced the enterprising publishers somewhat to anticipate the usual
period of annual republication. In doing this, great pains have
been taken to bring down the alterations to the very latest date, as
is attested by the fact that the result of the recent election for the
East Riding, and the succession to the Earldom of Stafford, both
having occurred within the present month are duly registered. The
Map, lik,wise, keers pace in its enlargements with the additions
which are being made in every direction to the houserooms of the
metropolis. Of the abstract merits of Messrs. Kelly's publication it
is unnecessary for us to speak ; we can only reiterate the opinion
which we have before expressed—that the volume is one of the most
comprehensive, most complete, and well digested, and, for its size,
one of the cheapest manuals of reference ever offered to the public.

ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, OCTOBER 25, 1851.

The Great Exhibition has had Its effect upon the sale of this
leviathan Directory, and has helped to exhaust the year's edition
sooner than usual. We are not surprised at this, seeing that the
Leaden season has been one unbroken round of visits ; and an un-
preceduitly large number of persons has flocked to the metropolis,
the majority requiring the class of information so well conveyed in
the " most Office London Directory." Accordingly, the volume for
the coming year has been produced thus early; It maintains the
high character of the series for accuracy, appropriate classification,
and rtaity reference. The corrections of the Peerage, and other
lists, have been made to the latest possible period ; and altogether,
the work is recommended, as heretofore, by its completeness in
every department, attainable only by the proprietor's long course of
experience and popularity.

BELL'S WEEKLY CHRONICLE, OCTOBER 25, 1851.

We have, on more than one occasion expressed our opinion of
the merits of this voluminous and astonishing work, the fifty-third
annual impression of which is now before us. By most of our
mercantile and trading readers, the work is known to be too useful,
and is also too highly prized, to render a word of commendation
from us necessary ; but, as it is possible that some parties engaged in
business may not hitherto have possessed the volume, we can only
say, that to understand its value they must examine the work for
themselves—a work which is alike remarkable for the vast mass of
information which it contains, and for the admirable manner in
which that information is arranged.

HERAPATH'S RAILWAY JOURNAL, OCTOBER 18, 1851.

The way in which Messrs. Kelly produce their " Post Office
Directory" renders competition useless. Such a work contains no
matter of opinion, and advocates no particular interest. If the
Messrs. Kelly do their duty wellj and spiritedly, what more can be
desired? We only want a Directory that is as full, as accurate, and
as complete, up to the time, as possible. Now, as far as our know-
ledge of the Directory extends—and from our making frequent use
of it we know a good deal about it—we think the work is admir-
ably kept up. In the present edition is found the very latest infor-
mation, and the whole of the work bears evidence that the greatest
degree of attention is paid to its proper production. For some time
pa r.the-tt_litatt Office D4actory'! Ms- had no campetitor. During
this tithe it has been a better work than if ever was before. The
absence of competition, producing increased gains, seems to 'have
enabled the work to reach its maximum merit. The present edition
makes an earlier appearance than usual, which, we believe, is due to
the Great Exhibition having created " a run" upon the Directory.

LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 185

Thursday, the 13611 of November, will henceforth
be ever memorable as the day on which England and
France witnessed, simultaneously, the miraculous
effect of electro-telegraphic communication. Won-
derful as the various achievements of humanity may
have been heretofore, they have been altogether sur-
passed by the extraordinary triumph just obtained
over innumerable obstacles, and after countless disap-
pointment. The event already recorded by our-
selves and our Contemporaries, sounds more like
a romance than a reality, even in the matter-
of-fact language of the reporter. Upon the
morning of the day already specified, the promoters
of this unprecedented scheme succeeded in carrying
to a satisfactory issue the labours to which our
columns of late have made such repeated reference.
The copper wire, encased in a gutta percha integu-
ment, having been laid down across the Channel from
Dover to Calais, or rather from Sandgate to Sangatte,
the fulfilment of the expectations of those who had in
any way participated in the undertaking, was satis-
factorily demonstrated by a variety of very
curious and beautiful experiments. After having
flashed messages to and fro instantaneously
between this island of ours and the European conti-

nent, the parties entrusted with the conduct of these

proceedings decided upon testifying the accuracy of
their predictions in regard to the submarine tele-
graph by a proof of a nature so entirely novel as to
kindle even the most sluggish imagination. Accord-
ing to a preconcerted agreement, precisely as the
clock at the old Town-hall at Calais struck two, and
just as the express train was leavin g the station at Dover,
a discharge of electricity from the telegraphic terminus
in France thrilling for a second through the whole
.• _

line'of the copper wire trailed under the waters and
along the bottom of the Channel, ignited a thirty-
two pounder (loaded with 101 b. of gunpowder) in
England. This, it is extraordinary to observe, was
in honour of the departure at that instant for London
of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, Field-
Marshal his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. With
a startling punctuality the hour struck, the needle
moved at Calais, and the cannon exploded at Dover.
The ground is described as trembling with the re-
port as the roar of it sounded along the cliffs,
and the occurrence must have caused some emotion
we cannot but believe even to the iron temperament
of the warrior. The discharge of the first gun from
the French coast appears to have been forthwith
answered by a similar compliment paid to our neigh-
bours through an electric flash from our side of the
Channel, causing an explosion of ordnance on the
borders of the European Continent. This tributary
firing of artillery seems, moreover, to have been for
some time afterwards alternately reiterated.
Ultimately, and that before long, a continuous com-
munication will be accomplished between the capitals
