we do say that this "Post Office Directory" is a most extraor-
dinary undertaking. As a proof of the vigilance which has been
exercised in bringing down the matter to the latest possible period,
Lord Western', same will not be found in the " Parliamentary
Directory." Similar instances of attention might be adduced. As
tests we have turned to several names of persons among our own
acquaintance who have recently changed their residence, and in no
one case have we found the change-overlooked. This is conclusive
proof of the general care that is bestowed to render the work ac.
curate as well as voluminous; for it is fair to conclude that any one
applying the test within his own range, would find the same vigi-
lance. In every point of view it is a work of vast utility, and in-
dispensable to all persons who have any busbies, to transact in
this mighty centre of business. It supersedes all ether guides and
Directories.

GLeart, Nov. 16, 1844.
The claims to public patronage of this most elaborate and well.
arranged Directory have been so fully established, as to render any
notice of it almost an act of supererogation.• In addition to the
extensive and varied information by which this work was already
distinguished, we find in the ♦olume for 1845, a considerable quan.
tity of new and appropriate matter, arranged under various heads.
All this has been done—notwithetandiug the greatly increased size
of the volume—without any additional charge. The yearly outlay
of capital required to produce the work must be immense; the
reward of the enterprise and labour will, we trust, be in proper.
tion to it.

Nov. 16, 1844.
How such a mass of information was ever brought together,
even in the 1,900 large pages of this volume, it is difficult to
imagine, even though we take into account that to effect it, has
tasked the ample resources of its owners for a series of years. The
result, however, is that a commercial book of reference has been
produced worthy of the commercial capital of the world. The
high character of the Post Office Directory has given it a place in
every house of real business ; indeed, not to possess it is to be
without information to which every man in the United Kingdom
commercially employed c hou:d have ready access.
In the " Conveyance Directory" the matter connected with
Railways is full and recent. Within our apace enumeration of the
various subjects cannot be attempted, nor can such be rauisite.
It can be only necessary of a work so universally known to say,
that the number of the Post Office London Directory for 1845 is
by far the best and meat complete edition of the work which has
ever been produced. Higher praise it would be difficult to bestow.

-

There are few men of business who do not take in the "Post Office
Directory," and to such, an enumeration of its contents is almost
valueless; but for those who do not, it may be as well to
make some further remarks, and the more so, as it only needs an
acquaintance with that work to be convinced of its intrinsic value
and great utility. There are some offices where the expenditure
for a new Directory is grudged on the ground that it is laying out
money for what they do not want, and they grub on without a
" Post Office Directory," or with only one of Pigot's or Robson's
superannuated Directories. A sharp, acute man of business would,
however, Just as soon be persuaded to part with his inkstand as
with his " Post Office Directory," for it not merely saves more
than its cost in time, but it is a valuable instrument for carrying
on business. As a means of ready reference it is valuable, as a
man's name, residence, and occupation are soon found, and a re.
fercnce to an old Directory will chow how long he has been en.
gaged in such pursuits, and furnish prima-facial evidence as to
respectability. This is so well understood in proper quarters, that
on such matters the " Post Office Directory" will be found quoted
in the leading articles of the Times, in Government and Parlia.
mentary reports, and before the police and criminal courts.
Does the Times, with ready sagacity, detect a swindling
firm trying to prey on the community—the " Post
Office Directory" is immediately appealed to, to show that
the pseudo firm is not to be found enrolled in its columns.
It would appear inexplicable that a day register of this
kind should be found playing such an important part ha the corn.
mercial community, if it were not well ascertained that its con.
doctors display the greatest energy and accuracy in car-
rying out their undertaking. The return of the circulation of
country banks prefixed to the "Banking Directory" is the best
which has yet appeared, and the only digest of the Population
Returns, applying to the metropolis, is the one in the "City Di.
rectory," which gives the population and income-tax of each parish
in the metropolis, and a laborious analysis of the occupations of the
population, deduced from the Census of 1841.

ffollows from the recent investigations of the
British Association for the Advancement of Science, as
reported in the Atheneum of October 19, that the quantity of
light furnished by one pound of PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES
requires for its production four pounds of ordinary tallow ones; and,
therefore, that the former, if at two shillings per lb., would be
exactly as economical as the latter at sixpence per lb. Now,
PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES are not sold at two shillings per
lb., but at or under One Shilling per lb.

Were this work more carefully looked to in country places, the
swindling bill and other firms would find a little more difficulty in
carrying out their nefarious pursuits.

In conclusion, we say, When you want anything, always look

THE RIVAL LINES TO YORK.
We have observed with surprise a statement appa-
rently put forth by the supporters of the London and
York line, as contradistinguished from the Direct
Northern Line, which labours under the objection of
being both a suppressio reri and a suggestio falsi. It
relates to the comparative distances of certain towns
on the route to York, which it endeavours ;to show
are greatly favourable to the London and York scheme.
We have only to remark, as neutral and impartial
judges, that this statement, copied from the Doncaster
Gazette, compares the distances, not upon the trunk
lines of both railways, but upon the trunk and lateral
line of the London and York, and only upon the
trunk of the Direct Northern. When the contest lies
unworthy subterfuge. The huge,
between the merits of the two main lines, it is unfair,
if not dishonest in the extreme, to employ such an
expensive, un-
wieldy, lateral line, got up by the Leeds and Man-
chester Company, in conjunction with the London
and York, is a totally disconnected scheme, which
must stand or fall by itself. The following table of
the exact distances -will disabuse the public mind of
any erroneous impression which it may have received,
and convince the terminal population that their para-
mount interests will be sacrificed if this lateral line be
allowed to affect, improperly, the direct principle.

" My Lord,—Upon my return to Plymouth after a
few days' absence, I have had forwarded to me a se-
ries of resolutions carried unanimously, at a meeting
of the congregation worshipping in the parish church
of St. Andrew. In the last of these resolutions is
the expression of a hope that I, as their minister,
' urge strongly on the Bishop the injury which
must result by the introduction of any changes in the
services of the Church.' In compliance, therefore,
with this request. I trust your Lordship will not
deem my expression of entire accordance with those
resolutions as unfitting in the present juncture, or at
variance with that high respect with which I would
ever desire to approach my diocesan.
" I beg most urgently to entreat your Lordship's
attention to the fearful strife now introduced into our
Church, chiefly by your recently-published Pastoral
Letter—a strife which, unless soon allayed, will, I
apprehend and believe, be the occasion of the seces-
sion to the ranks of Dissent, of tens of thousands of
persons now thoroughly attached to the liturgy,
articles, homilies, and constitution of that Church ;
but who, keenly alive to the awful strides made
towards Popery, as evinced in a large number of
publications which have of late years issued from the
press, as well as by the defection of not a few cler-
gymen and laymen of the apostate Church of Rome,
are very apprehensive that the errors of Popery are
taking such root in the Etablished Church, as will
render it necessary for them to quit its pale. Such
a result would, I am persuaded, occasion the deepest
pain to your own mind, as well as to that of every
clergyman living; but, my Lord, I know that sucii
a flame has now been kindled, and is so extensively
spreading, that, as one of your Lordship's clergy, as
having for more than twenty years occupied the
most important post in the diocese of Exeter, and,
backed as I am by the urgent request unanimously
passed at a large and' respectable meeting of the mem-
bers of my congregation, I dare not do otherwise
than most earnestly beseech your Lordship to recal
the requirements recently enjoined upon your clergy,
and thereby check the further spread of that feeling
which has already taken possession of the minds of
multitudes not only in Devon and Cornwall, but in
every portion of the British empire.
"My Lord, were my own personal feelings alone
concerned in this matter, I should regard the use of
the surplice in the pulpit as a point of such utter in-
significance as to be unworthy a moment's considera-
tion; but seeing that vast numbers of the laity as
well as of the clergy, regard it as the badge of adhe-
rence to Tractarian or Popish errors, and view it as
the introducer of other, and perhaps far more serious
evils, I cannot in the midst of my deep regret at the
painful conflict now going on, do otherwise than
heartily thank God that so wide-spread a manifesta-
tion of attachment to the great principles of the Re-
formation evinces itself, and that still no peace
with Rome' is a feeling so strongly impressed upon
the best affections of the members of the Established
Church, that they will not allow the very appear-
ance of compromise with this great principle, without
using firm, respectful, and constitutional means for its
defence.

METROPOLITAN IMPRO VE-
MENTS, NEW STREETS, &c.
The Commissioners of Woods and Forests, in their
twenty-first report, state, with regard to the improve-
ments in the metropolis, in the several lines of those
improvements authorised by the Acts 3 and 4 Vic-
toria, cap. 12, they have, since the dates of those Acts,
completed purchases to the amount, in the whole, of
457,8441. 15s. 10d., and have contracted for fur•
ther purchases to the amount, in the whole, of
121,617/. 15s. 10d.; and besides these, the purchases
now remaining to be made, in order to clear the
whole of the ground required for completing the
several lines- of improvement, it is estimated will
cost the further sum of 54,2561. 55., or thereabouts,
viz.—ln the line from Oxford-street to Holborn,
they have completed purchases to the amount of
211,684/.145. 10d., and have contracted for further pur-
chases to the amount of 56,9691. 3s. 4d. ; and besides
these, there remain to be made purchases estimated to
coat the sum of 14,5711. 15s. Thus this new line of
street will have cost, in purchases of property alone,
nearly 290,0001. Secondly, in the line from Bow-
street to Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury, they have
completed purchases to the amount of 70,9581. 18s. 3d.,
and have contracted for further purchases to the
amount of 3,0091. I ls. 9d.; and besides these, there
remain to be made purchases estimated to cost the
sum of 17,595/., or -thereabouts. Thirdly, in the
line from the .London Docks to Spitalfields Church,
they have completed purchases to the amount of
96,7421. 16s. 11d., and have contracted for further
purchases to the amount of 30,2361. Bs. 7d.; and be-
sides these there remain to be made purchases esti-
mated to cost the sum of 6,740/., or thereabouts.
Fourthly, in the line from Coventry-street to Long-
acre, the Commissioners have completed purchases to
the amount of 77,0781. ss. 10d., and they have con-
tracted for further purchases to the amount of
89,2021. 12s. 2d; and besides these, there remain to
be made purchases estimated to cost the sum of
8,097/. 10s., or thereabouts. And fifthly, in the line
from East Smithfield to Roseraary-lane, they have
completed purchases to the amount of 1,4201., and
have contracted for further purchases to the amount
of 12,200/. ; and besides these there remain to be made
purchases estimated to cost the sum of 7,2521., or
thereabout. It appears that of the sum of 500,000/.
mentioned in the Commissioners' 19th report, to
have been borrowed of the Equitable Assur-
ance Company, for the purposes of these improve-
ments, upon the security of certain portions of the
land revenue of the Crown in Middlesex, and of
moneys arising from interest on Exchequer bills, and
profit on the sale and purchase of those bills, in which
part of that lean was temporarily invested—from the
sale of old materials, and from rents of property pur-
chased for the purpose of these improvements, there
remained a balance of 1,4201. 6s. 6d. These funds
being nearly expended, the Commissioners are taking
measures for obtaining a further loan of 250,0001.,
which they find " it will be necessary to raise for the
purpose of making the several remaining purchases
requisite for the completion of these improvements."

It appears that the Scottish Board for the encourage-
ment of manufactures are to discontinue the granting of
premiums for inventions in manufactures, and to apply
the funds at their disposal exclusively to encouraging a
School of Design. The following is an extract from a
letter received this week by Mr. Alex. Buchanan, in
reply to an application for a reward for a new descrip-
tion of fabric of his invention :—" Board of Manufactures,
Royal Institution, Edinburgh, 14th Dec., 1844.—Sir,—
I have now to inform you that, as the Commissioners
have long entertained the opinion that the manufactures
of this country would be most effectually improved by
the encouragement of the Fine Arts, which must pro-
duce a most beneficial effect on the Industrial Arts, they
have with the sanction of the Lords Commissioners of
her Majesty's Treasury deemed it expedient for one
year at least, to withdraw that portion of their funds
which has hitherto been appropriated for premiums, and
to apply it to the extension of their School of Design,
which is of the most paramount importance in attaining
the advancement of the national manufactures, and
which is the object of their most anxious solicitude. I
have therefore no alternative left me than to express
the regret which the Commissioners feel at being unable
to afford Mr. Buchanan any assistance, and the docu-
ments which you forwarded to me in favour of that gen-
tleman are accordingly returned to you inclosed.—l am,
Sir, your most obedient servant, Thos. Dick LAUDER,
Secretary of the Board of Manufactures."—Glargew

BENTINCE TESTIMONIAL.—We are very glad to
find that the first proposers of a subscription for a testi-
monial to Lord George Bentinck have had their propo-
sal responded to in so liberal a manner by the supporters
of the turf as to call forth an expression of their warm
gratification. We understand it is their intention forth-
with to take some steps towards csrrying into effect the
object of the subscription, and that they have obtained
the consent of the Duke of B !Wort, the Duke of Bed-
ford, the Duke of Rutland, the Earl of Chesterfield, the
Earl of Eglinton, and the Right Hon. G. S. Byng, to
act as a Committee for that purpose.—Sunday Times.

train between Leigh and Bolton. This is a matter of
great importance to the small tradesmen of the former

business without being compelled to be the whole (iv

THE SURPLICE QUESTION.
(From the Plymouth Herald.)
PARISH OF ST. ANDREW.
" Aly dear Sir,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt
of a series of resolutions passed at ' a meeting of the
congregation worshipping in the parish church of
St. Andrew,' at which you were acting as the
chairman.
"In compliance with the request contained at the
close of the resolutions, I have felt it my duty to ad-
dress a letter (of which I subjoin a copy) to his Lord-
ship the Bishop of this diocese, urging the great ne-
cessity of an immediate revocation of the orders lately
issued to the clergy in his Pastoral Letter.
" Most sincerely trusting that such will be the re-
' suit of the many meetings held in the diocese, that the
service of our Church may not be interrupted by
usages, which as being obsolete, have the aspect of
novelties, and that peace and prosperity may yet be
vouchsafed to the Church of England, as well as with
the expression of my cordial thanks to all who took
part in the proceedings of the late meeting, and fer
their kind expression towards myself as their mi-
nister, I am, my dear Sir, yours and their very
faithful friend and obedient servant,

THE CHARITABLE BEQUESTS
BILL.
(From the Southern Reporter.)
The Dublin Evening Mail utters a loud exulting
shout because three Roman Catholic Bishops are, at
length, gazetted, as, according to their new-found
eulogist, the firm, uncompromising supporters of the
Bequests Bill. We deeply deplore the cause which
has given room for the triumphant boast of the un-
scrupulous calumniator of Catholicity. It is not for
us to question what the motives may have been which
induced the Right Rev. Prelate to countenance this
inroad on the rights and freedom of the Church.
They must have been deceived by that consummate
diplomatic artifice which has over-reached worldly
and wary politicians, and made even them playthings
in the hands of England, or, as we before stated, and
still suppose, they have consented to accept places
on the Board to mitigate the evils which others in
their position could inflict. We are convinced that the
Right Rev. Prelates would advance on all occasions
the true interests of religion; that will not be dis-
puted or denied, but the more we examine the more
fully are we persuaded that the Bill was concocted by
enemies of the Church, with that enmity burning
strong within them. What is it that has hitherto
preserved the Roman Catholic Church and the reli-
gion which it teaches; by what means has she,
through such a long night of persecution and danger,
protected herself successfully in Ireland ? Was it
not by steadily refusing—by firmly resisting all inti-
macy with the State, and by standing on an isolated
eminence to which the waters of corruption could not
ascend ? She has been surrounded by enemies
who have often menaced, and endeavoured to
scale the battlements by which she was protected ;
but of all other Churches of the earth, she re-
mained uninjured by secret sap or open vio-
lence. The foe, we fear, has reached the citadel
at last, and, at the first signal from abroad, will be
ready to open wide a passage by which the whole
force of secular authority may enter. Our fears may
perhaps exaggerate the effects which we apprehend
may follow from the compromise which has already
taken place, but the very parties, the Roman Catholic
clergy themselves who, it is stated, will profit by the
law, are filled with alarm, and protest strongly
against its operation. The Irish Church in general is
free from the imputation of courting a State all ance.
She has never solicited its favour or looked for its
endowments, or begged its gold. At all times, at
every opportunity, she spurned pecuniary and other
favours, and maintained herself untainted and un-
touched by their enervating influence. Why, then,
should we be persuaded that she ought now to descend
from her " vantage ground," or daily with the seducer?
—What can she gain by a State connexion—nothing
whatever. She must lose largely—in character, in
revenue, for an endowed Church and clergy generally
lose remuneration from the people, seldom preserve
their respect, and, never, as far as we can at this
moment recollect, have held firm in their affections.
By deed or by will, said the deliberate opinion of
O'Connell, it was lawful for Catholics, before the
passing of this Act, to convey property for every
imaginable charitable purpose ; now, only for the
support of bishops and priests, and for building manse-
houses, are any new powers given. Because the
clergy are permitted by the law—and how permitted?
through the favour of the Protestant majority of the
Board—to live and inherit property devised three
months before the donor's death, we are called on to
shake hands with Peel and fling our caps into the
air through joy. Before this law all this and much
more may have been done, and again, we ask, where
is the advantage ? And it is thus the clergy
would be benefited, or rather it is thus they
would be divided from the people. A State pro-
vision would never pass the English Legislature.
England would not support in Ireland a second
stipendiary Church, and Irish priests would
not receive the bribe. But, fruitful hi wiles, the
Government hit upon the expedient of making Ro-
man Catholic piety the instrument of subsidising
them. Peel would hope to make them gradually
wealthy, he would allow them to receive property in
the expectation that they may become indolent or
indifferent to the welfare of their flocks, or inactive
in the cause of liberty. He sees what benefices and
pomp and revenues have done elsewhere, and be
would use the antidote to spiritual zeal, and to politi-
cal agitation which he believes they contain. lie
would absolutely punish the Irish people for their
patriotism through their piety, by making it instru-
mental in their subjugation, and the mode of 'doing
this aggravates the dishonesty of the attempt, for
though the clergy may be the recipients of wealth, ;a
mixed Government Board is to be, as it were, the con-
duit through which the impure stream must flow.
There were two inconveniences which, it is affirmed,
the existing law has removed, by abolishing trustee-
ships, and recognising the succession of Catholic
prelates and priests. But what mastered the first in-
convenience when men of honesty and honour wee
continually found, and could be found, to act in tie
required capacities, and if the succession of Catholic
priests and prelates be now recognised by law, did
they the less succeed before ? Is it legal or apostolical
succession that is desired or necessary ? Is the State
to become a theological interpreter, and human to be
associated and to weigh with divine authority ? Is
there importance to be attached to the State recogni-
tion of those apostolical titles which, after all, the
Bill does not confirm beyond the pre-existing law,
nor add to it in any one particular, for while the Moit
Rev. Richard is in -the State Gazette, affirmed
be Lord Archbishop of Dublin, the Most Re
Archbishop Daniel Murray, is not allowed to own
local jurisdiction.

We have spoken of this cozening and deceptive Acit
as it affected the position of the Irish Catholic Church,
for whose independence a struggle should be made,
if for no other reason than to win, on Irish ground,
the victory which has been lost in other countries.
Everywhere the attempt to get the Church be-
neath the hoof of the State has been attempted. Here
the villainous experiment is in progress also, but
we have not spoken of the undefended, inexcusable,
and infamous wrong which this Act offers to the
regular clergy and the monastic orders. The
most ingenious and intrepid of its supporters have
not ventured to justify it as regards them. It is con'-
ceded that every atom of property can be, and must
be, swept away from them ; that the Catholic pre-
lates can be made, and must become their persecu-
tors, their despoilers, to feed the ravening maw of the
hybrid monster called a Board. It is not denied the
monastic orders will be despoiled, and are virtually
outlawed by this enactment; and yet defenders have
been found to abet and praise its provisions, and ad-
vise the Irish people to stand by and see their pious,
humble, and self-denying friends scattered and de-
spoiled. Shall they, who instruct the poor, who
sedulously prepare the way for the secular clergy,
and assist and strengthen them in their labours, be
unredressed ? We are mistaken in our countrymen
if they pause for an hour in the decision they should
make.

THE FROST AT HAMM:MGR.—We learn from privat4it
sources that on the 17th inst., the London mails of the
6th, 10th, and 13th insts., had not reached Hamburgh,
in consequence of which, in addition to the entire ob.
struction of the navigation on the river Elbe by the ice,
business in general was exceedingly dull. On the
16th the intensity of the frost was much dimi►
rushed, and on the following day—viz., the 17th, the ther:.
ammeter of Rauniur exhibited one degree of
warmth. Rain had fallen on that day from
morning to evening, but there were indications of a very
early renewal of frost. The execution of Tschech,
at Spandau, for his attempted assassination of the King
of Prussia, was known at Hamburgh, and had created
no sensation whatever. The Turkish Government had
nominated a consul at Hambnrgh, in the person of a
Portuguese gentleman, who already represents the Go-
vernment of his own country in the capacity of consul,
general, and he bad not felt himself at liberty to accept
the appointment without referring first for permission of
the authorities at Lisbon. This is the first appointment
of the kind which the Turkish Government have made
in the north of Europe, and it is an indication of a desire
to extend the commercial relations of the empire, which
cannot fail to be interesting to the mercantile public.
TUE OFFERTOItY.-4n last week's Gazelle it was
stated that one of our churchwardens had recently
received a letter from the Rev. Mr. Nihill„ keying
that he should continue the Offertory of St. Mary's.
Much to the surprise of many here, the Rev. Gentleman
has since suddenly altered his mind. On Sunday morn,
ing, after making some very severe and unwarrantable
strictures upon his flock, he announced from his pulpit
that the Offertory would cease from that day at St.
Mary's Church! Wo always thought the " pressure
from without " must be attended with this result, When
the people begin to seriously talk of k+ stopping the
supplies"—to refuse making church-rates_then it is
high time to yield to popular opinion. Our vicar has
thought it eipedient to do so, and it gives tits mac.l4 plea,
sure tq state the fact public. Let other towns burdened
with Offertory impositiaalk follow the exant *et sllo^'
by the Eiridgewater folk.-4omer w Mary. -

We are glad tq learn that •
