MONTHLY POST NEWSPAPER.
Price Twopence.
On the 31st of January, 1844, will be Published,
The FIRST NUMBER of a MONTHLY NEWSPAPER.
under the above title, to be devoted exclusively to a
RECORD OF PUBLIC EVENTS.
The object of the MONTHLY POST will be to give, in a
carefully compiled and a closely compressed form, an account of
all occurrences of interest, taking place in every part of the
world, with the dates annexed in chronological orler, so as to
become a work of reference, and
AN EPITOME OF THE HISTORY OF THE TIMES.
A number of events occur in every month of which it would
be useful to preserve some accurate record ; an object, at
present, only to be accomplished by the labour of copying
names, dates, and circumstances, or to be effected, hereafter, by
the tedious process of referring to the cumbrous pages of an
ordinary newspaper. It is to remedy this inconvenience that
the Monthly Post will be established ; •and as its price will pill),
be 2d. per Month, or Two Shillings for the Entire Year, it is
presumed there is hardly a family, or reader, in the kingdom
that will be without so interesting and valuable a register.
The Monthly Post will be handsomely printed on superior
paper, of uniform size with the Post Magazine, and consist of
24 closely packed columns, in a form for binding.
A stamped edition will be published. Parties in the country,
therefore, who may find any difficulty in procuring the
Monthly Post Newspaper, through the agency of a bookseller
or newsvender, or who may desire to receive it with the least
potsible delay, may be supplied with their copies, by post, for
twelve months, by enclosing to the publisher, a Post-office
order for three shillings, or thirty-six postage labels.
Office, Wine-office-court, Fleet-street.
To be had by order of all booksellers in the United Kingdom.

POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY, for
1844, in 1,861) closely-printed imperial octavo pages,
price 30s. The earliest copy of the work has been but one
month issued, and the following reviews have appeared in the
leading metropolitan journals:—
Sun December 7 18a, The present number extends to 1899
, ,
pagos, and embraces a more comprehensive detail of the vastma-
chinery which London exhibits than any work of the kind yet pub-
fished. The compiler has confined his labours rather more to sim-
plifying former articles, with indispensable additions to which
circumstances give rise, than to increase the work by new subjects of
reference: in fact, these appear to be nearly exhausted. A slight
glance at the index will show what a vast field is included in this
multifarious work. we there find the following headings, and sub-
joined to these are branches extending to every department :—Court
of Chancery, Admiralty, Army Agents, Assurance Companies,
Banking Directory, City Directory, Commercial and Professional
Directory, Conveyance Directory, Court Directory, Dock Companies,
Law Directory, Parliamentary Directory:, Postal Directory, Public
Companies, Railways, Street Directory, rides Directory, universal
Rates of Postage, and, in short, every species of information that
not only men of business, but pc sons in all ranks of lire, in the
country as well as in London, will find of great service in their daily
transactions. It would be tedious to give specimens of the manner
in which this valuable publication has been arranged, and we may
therefore say that, as regards the Street Directory,' the Postal
Directory,' and the Conveyance Directory,' without including the
varied information on almost every commercial transaction, it is the
most copious and correct work of the kind yet published."
The i lines, December 7, The London Post Office Di_
rectors' fi.r the coming year has just
passed through the press, and
now forms one of the most useful v lumen which at this season make
their appearance. Useful is a proper term when applied to this pub-
-1 cation, but the term indispensable would be equally appropriate, for
to merchants, hankers, and to all person, in business, the book is so
important that to he without it is almost to be in a state of ignorance
about what it concerns every man commercially connected or em-
ployed to know. This work, though it has little of the pretence of
the annuals,' as they arc called, has as much real merit as any of
them, and though not precisely the book for the boudoir or the draw_
ing-room, is the proper annual tbi the counting-house and the shop.
It has been got up with great industry, great labour, great research,
and great expense, and the result is a book of reference for every-day
life, and a mass of valuable and accurate informatit,„. The volume
for 1844, in addition to all the intelligence convey(al in the volumes
of this year and past years, contains in that portion of it called the
Poi: al Directory,' a digest of the most recent arrangements in a
comprehensive form, so arranged that an easy reference can be made
to whatever order that head the inquirer may want to find out. This
is more particularly to be seen in the tables of ' Universal Rates on
Postage.' There are other improvements which wiq be easily seen if
consulting the various divisions of the book, and the whole is so well
arranged that to discover what is sought for is a matter very easily
accomplished. Accuracy and fidelity, the great requisites in a publi.
cation of this kind, are visible throughout, and great credit is due to
thecompilers."

It has yearly been growing in fulness and consequent usefulness, und
it now contains a carefully arranged and elaborated mass of informa-
