TRE POST - OFFICE SUBURBAN

DIRECTOBY.

KELLY AND CO.

The public have long been in want of a guide to
the suburbs of the Metropolis; for the London
Post Office Directory, although complete' in itself
as far as it extends, treats of London proper rather
than of London in the comprehensive sense in which
it is now understood. The mania for living out of
town which possesses all, from the wealthy mer-
chant to the well-to-do tradesman, renders it neces-
sary for the compilers of a directory to- furnish
double addresses to render the work complete.
Messrs. Kelly and Co. have now done this, and
have succeeded in a most satisfactory manner in
extending to the districts round London the advan-
tages of a directory arranged on the same plan as
that of the "London Post Office," and containing
divisions corresponding to the street, commercial,
court, and trades directory. The work extends to
the boundary of the Metropolitan Postal districts,
and is, in fact, simply an extension of the London
Directory. It is divided into two parts, northern
and southern, so that parties residing on either the
north or south sides of the Thames can procure the
part which relates to their own locality. The
"Suburban Directory" forms a necessary appen-
dage to the present London one, the two forming
a complete guide to the whole area of the metro-
polis and surrounding circle with a twelve mile
radius. A complete conveyance direetory is added,
which, in addition to the information relative to per-
sonal transit, furnishes useful instruction concern-
ing carriers' carts and parcels delivery company.
A well executed map, ou a large scale, engraved
expressly for the work, by Mr. B. R. Davies,
comprising the entire suburbs surrounding the
metropolis, is added to complete this long-
required work.

THE AMERICAN EXPEDITION IN
SEARCH OF FRANKLIN.

Information had been obtair ed from the American
expedition in search of Franklin. The captain of
a whaler, writing from Cumberland Inlet on
the 30th of August, says :—" I saw Captain
Buddington, of the George Henry, about a
week ago. All well on board. John Cud-la-jah,
the native Esquimaux, who was returning with him,
died of quick consumption three days before the
ship made the land. This Cud-la-jah was a native
of the west side of Baffin's Bay, about 35 years of
age, and had been in the employ of American
whalemen about eight years, and was regarded as
a noble specimen of his race—manly in his deport-
ment, quick, and intelligent. He engaged the friend-
ship of all with whom he was brought in contact.
His knowledge of the geography of these icy
regions made him useful as a pilot, while
his dexterity with harpoon or lance made him
an expert seal fisher and whalemen. He was
chosen by Mr. Hall to be his guide and companion in
the boat journey he proposes to make westward
towards Boothia and King William's Land. We
sincerely regret that Mr. Hall has lost so valuable
and reliable a man from his little company. It was
the intention of Mr. Hall, if he found any difficulty
in making up his boat's crew on arrival, to stay by
the ship all winter, inuring himself to the climate
and learning the language and habits of the Esqui-
maux, and, starting early in the spring with a
picked crew, push on his journey. The death of
Cud-la-jah may make this intention a fixed deter-
mination, and, after wintering with the ship he
will leave her and go towards the Pole, exploring,
as he advances, the unknown region lying between
Cape Willoughby and the entrance to Fury and
Heels. Straits: Thence he will go westward through
the Straits to Boothia and King William's Land,
where the relics of Franklin's expedition were dis-
covered by Captain M'Clintock, R.N. At that
point Mr. Hall hopes to obtain more information in
regard to portions of that expedition."

AUSTRALIAN SHAKSPEARE FUND.—It is proposed
to erect a testimonial to Shakspeare on the approaching
tercentenary of his birth. The proposition has since met
with great favour, and a number of subscriptions have
been obtained for the desired object. At a meetin gof the
Shakspeare Testimonial Committee, held at Melbourne,
it was resolved that three gentleman be appointed in Lon-
don to act as a " committee of tasto" in the seleci ion of a
design for the intended statue, such committee to consist
of Messrs. Carlyle and Ruskin, and Sir Charles R tstlake ;
and that both colonial and English artists shall contribute
designs, the above committee having the power to select
the most meritorious. The selection of the commit tee does
infinite credit to the discernment of the patriotic admirers
of our national poet —Australian and New ;,ea(ancl
Glazak.

"General de Montauban," says the journal du
Havre, "has, it is said, been named a Senator as a
reward for the skill he displayed in preparing and
executing the attack on the Chinese positions. The
modesty with which he speaks of himself in his
official report is the subject of general remark.
One of the principal positions occupied by Gen.
de Sonnaz after his late success against the Nea-
politan forces was Mola di Gaeta, a small town 01
an eminence about two miles from the fortress, and
fully commanding it. Mola is known to the
