MoRNINa HERALD, Nov. 19, 1644.

The edition for 1845 of this very useful work has just been
issued. The usefulness of the ♦olume, as well as the immense
lalsour that must have been expended in completing it, will be best
judged of from a brief enumeration of its contents. The first
portion of the work comprises a list of the hotels and convenient
inns throughout England and Wales, with the names of the occu-
pants and the population according to the census of 1841. This,
which extends over seventeen pages of small but clear type, i■
treble columns, is succeeded by the " Official Directory," which
commences with an alphabetical list of persons holding situa-
tions under the Crown, in the East India House, Bank of England,
and the various law, city, and all other public offices, and is followed
by the division of the above into their proper departments, where
the names of the offices are again given. This portion of the work
is very faithfully compiled, and extends over about fifty pages.
Next comes a list of the principal thoroughfares of the metropolis,
with a direction to the post.office nearest to each thoroughfare.
The more bulky portion of the work follows—the " Street Direc•
tory,' and extends over nearly 500 pages. The " Commercial and
Professional Directory" succeeds, occupying also nearly 500 pages ;
then the " Trades Directory," of upwards of 450 pages ; the " Law
Directory'. of some 70 pages; the " Court Directory" of nearly
100 pages ; a statistical account of the metropolis ; the " City Di-
rectory ;" the " Conveyance Directory" of some 120 pages ; the
" Banking Directory" of 140 pages; and the " Assurance Three.
tory" of some 40 pages.
The typographies leharacter of the volume is as commendable as
the fulness and faithfulness n Ithe work itself.
MORNING ADVERTIEIIII, Nov. 15, 1844.

This work, which has now stood the test of public opinion for
nearly half a century, has just appeared. The edition for the pre-
sent year having been all sold, it became necessary to supply the
void thus occasioned, and the result has been the production of the
work at this early period. Notwithstanding the rapidity with
which it has passed through the press, its general accuracy has been
carefully preserved. It is really wonderful how so vast a mass
of matter can be compiled so accurately and so well. We have
looked throogh the pages of the " Directory" with the view •f
testing its correctness, and we are bound t• say, that in no one in.
stance could we find even the slightest ground to impugn its con-
summate fidelity. _ _

The Lord Bishop of Exeter has addressed the fol-

LITERATURE.
RODENHURST, 3 Vols. Mortimer, London, 1845.
The incidents in this story are supposed to have
taken place in the days -of George the Second, and
are of an' exceedinsly melodramatic character,
though occasionally--as in the instance of the Jacobite
fox-hunt with which the tale opens—they display
much vig ri• and skill in the manner in which they are
related. The author has strong political feelings—
we should rather call them prejudices—is averse to
the principle's orthe Revolution of 1688, but, above
all, hates the Whigs with as hearty a detestation as
ever Doctor Johnson exhibited. Some of his charac-
ters, especially that of Sir Andrew Luntley, are deli-
neated withiorne and sustained with consistency, but
we must pretest against •the extravagant license he
allows himself when touching on political matters.

HAMPTON COURT. -3
Vols.
Bentley, London, 1844.
The author of this talc has taken a stirring period
for his theme—that, namely, commencing with the
great civil war, and closing with the restoration of
Charles the Second under the auspices of General
Monk, Duke of Albermarle. This eminent historical
personage, together with his wife—a woman of
strongly marked peculiarities—are the most conspi-
cuous characters in-the narrative, and are pourtrayed
with considerable care. Sir John Denham, the poet,
is also introduced, but not always with success, for
there is much that is prosy about him. Those who
like a spirited;:ather than a well-constructed, story,
wherein the scenes are as constantly changing as
those in a pantomime, Will find much to answer the
purpose of amusement in the crowded pages of
" Hampton Court."

MAGAZINES CONTINUED.
BRITISH CHURCHMEN.

The British Churchman, which professes to be
conducted on the principles of the Church of Eng-
land, contains, this mbtith, among a variety of other
articles, a pleasing poem, entitled the "Pleasures of
Charity," which is froth the pen of a lady, named
Smith. "Montgomery on the Three Parties " is
very dull, old woman's twaddle.

BEAUTIES OF THE OPERA.
This is a truly-elegant—little periodical, containing
several embellishments gxecuted in a superior style,
together with a brief synopsis of the plot of the po-
pular opera of the " Jewess.' The work has already
reached a tenth part.

AM4'RICAN REVIEW.
We have here the first number of an American
Monthly Review, which advocates Whig politics, and
is embellished with a portrait of Mr. Clay, the cele-
brated Yankee statesman. The ablest article in the
number before us is a critical notice of Miss Barrett's
poems, which.are praised with great discrimination.

LAW MAGAZINE.
This is a carefully edited periodical, containing a
great variety of useful information on legal matters.
In the present I\ umber we find a judicious article on
the subject of the " Law of Debtor and Creditor "—an
important question, which is discussed with modera-
tion, and at onqiderable Length.

TO THE LORD BISHOP OP EXETER, &C.

My dear Lord,—l lose no time in expressing my re•
gret that the expressions to which I referred in your
Lordship's letter to Mr. March Phillips should have been
misunderstood. Had your objections been supposed to
relate to the statute I should not have taken the liberty
of replying to them. It is very possible that the statute
might be altered with advantage.
Let me also apologise for having already printed my
letter of Dec. 31st, without previous communication with
your Lordship ; which, indeed, was not contemplated
when I began the letter, but was judged advisable by
those with whom I had acted as well as by myself, when
your observations had already occasioned, as we had
reason to believe, a revival of the old objections, directed,
not against the principle of the statute, but against its
administrators, against our " construction of the sta-
tute," and our proceedings under it. Your Lordship's
letter of the 3d instant shall now, according to yoer
desire, be published without delay, together with this
apology.
But allow me to return my thanks for your kind ex-
pressions respecting the late Vice-Chancellor and his
assessors ; and to mention, that, not having been a
member of the committee to which you refer (having
been absent, indeed, from Oxford whilst it was si ting),
although I had heard with much pleasure of your Lord-
ship's wish to record your vote in favour of the Chancel-
lor's nomination of Dr. Symons, I had not seen your letter
to the committee, and was not aware of the sentiments
which it expressed.
Let me repeat my regret that I should appear to have
needlessly occupied your Lordship's time and attention,
and my great satisfaction that there is no room for tres-
passing upon them again—no occasion, indeed, I would
willingly hope, for any future recurrence to the painful
subject of our correspondence.—l am, my dear Lord,
your Lordship's faithful and obedient servant,

" We regard the work before us The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical pretension, for what reason we are at a lout o know.
Wemust, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such

" The Authors of The Silent Fnend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in

fail to recommend it to a careful perusal."—Era.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND REVIEW.

The ablest article in the Number before us is one
on the subject of the " Present Difficulties of the
Clergy," in which, however, occur some remarks, in
the justice of which we cannot coincide, as, for in-
stance, when the writer asserts that " the system
which the laity are in many instances pursuing is the
reverse of legitimate." We think, on the contrary,
that nothing can be more legitimate or more neces-
sary than the course they are now pursuing through-
out the diocese of Exeter.

MUSICAL REVIEW.
THE MUSICAL TREASURY,

Containing seventy-one pieces for the Piano-forte, Vocal
and Instrumental, and consisting of the Words and
Music, with Accompaniments for the Piano forte,
Seraphine, Harp, &c., of popular, standard, and ori-
ginal Songs, Duets, Glees, Catches, &c., including
Selections from modern Operas, and favourite Over-
tures, Quadrilles, Waltzes, Galopades, &c., newly
arranged, expressly for this work.
London, G. H. Davidson, Water-street, Tudor-street.

This very elegant publication consists of the first
year's Numbers of " Music for the Million," elegantly
bound, and ornamented with a tastefully illuminated
title-page. Great judgment has been exhibited in
the selection of the music. The greater number of
the Songs have been re-arranged so as to suit the
average run of voices ; and to the Glees, among which
we recognise many old favourites, new accompani-
ments have in many instances been added. Among
the selentions from Opera are many of the gems of
Rossini, Auber, and Donizetti. In addition to these
we have some of Labitski's favourite Waltzes, and
several original sets of Quadrilles from favourite
Operas. The publication is, indeed, a musical trea-
sury, and we wish the proprietor every success in
his laudable endeavour to supply the less wealthy
classes of society with good music on terms com-
mensurate with their means. The work is beautifully
printed, and may be taken as a specimen of the latest
improvement in letter press music.

return to the Cambria, which has been built, like her
predecessors in the Clyde, by the same able hands and
clear heads that have already turned out so many chef..
d'ceuvre. If there is skill in augury, she will Outstrip ail
that has gone before her. We had intended to have
entered into a minute description of the vessel's appear-
ance—the beauty and symmetry of her form—the vast
power of her complicated and elegant-looking machinery,
engines, boilers, and fittings—the magnificence of her
saloons, with all the appointments for the comfort and
happiness of the passengers—the accommodations on
deck, studiously arranged, to combine safety with ele-
gance ; but after some consideration we have deemed
the labour superfluous. We entered upon such a de-
scription in the case of the Hibernia ; and making some
allowance for the superior tonnage and capability of the
new ship, the same remarks apply to both. The Cam-
bria's performances will be her best test—her own
advertisement. She is commanded by one who is every
inch a gentleman and a sailor; her passengers, we have no
doubt, will be right merrie fellows,' and in her maiden
efforts to annihilate time and space, on the broad and
swelling bosom of the Atlantic, our best wishes—fears
we have none—go with the good ship Cambria, her
gallant crew, passengers, commander, and all ! Vivant

SPECIAL TRIP ON THE CROYDON

ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY.

Yesterday a special trip took place on this line of
railway, preliminary .to its opening for public accommo-
dation, in order to afford the friends of the directors an
opportunity of testing the atmospheric principle of
iropulsion.
After partaking of a very handsome cold collation
provided by the Company, in the long room at the
London-bridge station, the directors and their friends
left by a special train at five minutes before two o'clock,
and arrived at the Dartmouth Arms station in about
fourteen minutes. The train, consisting of ten carriages,
including the piston carriage, and weighing above 50
tons, was then placed upon the atmospheric tube, and
instructions having been communicated by means of the
electric telegraph to the stationary engines at the Jolly
Sailors and at Croydon, the carriages were set in motion
at Trecisely ten minutes past two. The speed on first
leaving the Dartmouth Arms was twelve miles, increas-
ing during the progress to 18, 25, 32, 40, and 50 miles
a'a hour respectively, dividing the whole distance of five
miles into six periods. The whole distance was accom-
plished in eight-and-a-half minutes. The average speed
was upwards of 30 miles per hour.
After waiting at the Croydon station about half-an-
hoar, the train returned to the Dartmouth Arms, at an
average of 28 miles an hour, the distance being accom-
plished in about ten-and-a-half minutes. It must be re-
collected that this was not so much an experiment of
speed as an exhibition of the practicability of the prin-
ciple. After remaining a few minutes at the Dartmouth
Arms the party returned to London. We could not
help observing the very striking difference in the oscil-
lation of the locomotive train as compared with that on
the atmospheric line, the balance being immensely in
favour of the latter.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 20.
(Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.)
IN RE DODMAN.
The insolvent in this case, an engraver at Norwich,
came up to-day for his final order.
He was supported by Mr. Sturgeon, and opposed by
Mr. Bagley, who said that he wished to direct the atten-
tion of the Court to the first page of the schedule,
wherein the " excepted articles" are stated. There was
a long inventory of articles, the value of which was stated
at 191. 7s. He (Mr. Bagley) submitted that the value
of each article ought to be annexed thereto, that the
Court had no power to: grant an adjournment for the
amendment of the schedule, and that the petition must
be dismissed.
Mr. Sturgeon said this was the first time he had
heard an objection of this description taken, and that
the Court had the power to grant an adjournment for the
amendment of the schedule, if it were required.
Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD considered that an ad-
journment must take place to amend the schedule.
After some further conversation, the final order was
adjourned.

IN RE - CURRELL.

The insolvent in this case, a billiard-ta_lfiv-keeper and
tobacconist, came up to-day for his 'lnterim order. His
debts were 2851. 4s. 7d., and litfie or no assets.
Mr. Buchanan, who eipeared as solicitor to oppose,
strongly pressed insolrent to set aside a certain sum
of money a year (201.) out of the returns of his busi-
was, whie,it were stated by the insolvent to be about 3/.
per reek, for the liquidation of his debts, to save an op-
pi4sitiort which would be fatal to him.
The insolvent said he would pay 101: a year.
Mr. Buchanan said he would accede to 201. a year,
but not 101, and therefore his opposition was founded
upon the ground that the insolvent had not complied
with the marginal note.of the petition, inasmuch as that
he had not stated his places of residence, and the period
of abode within the last twelve months.

The Learned COMMISSIONER considered the objection
taken by Mr. Buchanan to be fatal, and therefore the
petition 'must be dismissed.—Petition dismissed.

SMALL DEBTS ACT.—COLES V. PARSAY.
In this case an action had been been brought by
toles, a butcher, against Parsay, who was a clerk in
the War-office, at a salary of 150/. a year, for the reco-
very of a debt for goods sold and delivered. Judgment
was signed in favour of Coles for 131.
It appeared that an agreement had been entered into
between the defendant and his creditors, that his debts
(the amount of which were not stated) should be paid
by yearly payments of 501. the first year, 60/. the se-
cond, and 701. the third, and so on till his debts were
paid. All the creditors bad signed that agreement, ex-
cept Coles, aad if he were to sign, it would be carried
into effect, and the first paymeut would commence next
January.
The Learned CommissloNzEt said he would make an
order to pay 1/. a year till the judgment debt of 131. was
paid. ~ -
The plaintiff, who appeared to be much amazed, said,
" What ! one pound a year—that would be a rum
thing."—(Laughter) He was a poor man, and the de-
fendant could afford to keep two servants, and he could
not keep one. Something ought to be done, Will your
Honour dismiss the summons ?

Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD—Certainly not.
After some further discussion, ten shillings a quarter
were ordered to be paid.

IN RE -- LOVEGROVE.

The insolvent in this case, a barge-builder, owing
debts to the amount of 2461. 14s. 7d., came up to-day
for his interim order.

He was opposed by Mr. Bagley, on the ground that
his accounts were wholly unsatifactory.
The Learned COMMISSIONER considered that an ad-
journment must be made for the purpose of filing a cor-
rect schedule and special balance-sheet.
The further hearing was adjourned.

ADMIRALTY, OCT. 20.
NAVAL KNIGHTS OF WINDSOR.

The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty do hereby
give notice to such Lieutenants in her Majesty's navy,
as are desirous of being recommended for the appoint-
ment of Naval Knights of Windsor, under the will of
the late Samuel Travers, Esq., that they must apply at
this Office, on or before the 22d of November next, when
they will be informed of the nature of the certificates and
testimonials which are required to show that they come within
the meaning of the said will, which expresses that they " are
to be superannuated or disabled Lieutenants of English men
of war," and shall be "single men, without children, inclined
to lead a virtuous, studious, and devLut life, to be removed if
they give occasion for scandal." H. CORRY.

Grantham, and the Grand Union; at Oakham *ith the Syston and
Peterborough ; also with the Boston, Stamford, and Birmingham and
London, and Manchester Direct.

One great and important feature in this railway is, that it does not
run parallel with, or in opposition to, any existing line of railway.
The ground has been surveyed and found to be practicable, pre-
senting for the most part no engineering difficulties.
Satisfactory communications for mutual co-operation have been
opened with the several companies whose interests will be affected
by the proposed line. In the meantime, the Committee of Manage-
ment reserve power to amalgamate with any other company, or
deviate from the proposed line, or make such extension and branches
as they may hereafter deem advisable.
The subscribers Will be held liable only ta the amount of their sub-
scriptions, and power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow
interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from the
passing of the Act.
In consequence of a great portion of the shares having been already
applied for, the period for application must necessarily be very
limited.

The following letter has been received from Samuel Charles Brees
Esq., the engineer to this; Company, viz.:
" Stoke Newington, 18th October, 1845.
" Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the Information of
cora
the
Board of Directors, my return from Oxford. Agreeable to r
mands I made further examinations of the line of country, and have
engaged and given instructions to a large and efficient staff of sur-
veyors and assistants to perform the survey. I have much satisfac-
tion in adding that my last visit has been such as to warrant the
statements made by me at the meeting of the Provisional Committee
concerning the elegibillty of the line, and have no hesitation in saying
that the survey will be completed, and the Parliamentary plans de-
posited, by the 30th November.

SOUTHWARK.

Three men, named Ingram, Burke, and Chiddy, were
charged with stealing three bottles of sherry from the
traffic department of the London and Brighton Railway
Company.
It appeared that the prisoners were in the employ-
ment of the Company as porters, and that on Saturday
the prisoner Ingram absented himself from his work.
He was seen by one of the superintendents beneath a
platform drinking wine from a bottle, and on being
questioned, be admitted that the three bottles had been
taken from a hamper, and that the other prisoners were
participators in the robbery. On being given into cus-
tody, Chiddy expressed regret at being concerned in the
matter.

Mr. TRAIL said that the statement made by Ingram
and Chiddy would justify him in remanding them, but
as regarded Burke, he would require further proof than
an admission of another prisoner.
Ingram and Chiddy both denied having made the con-
fessions ascribed to them.

They were remanded to Wednesday, and Burke was
discharged, on entering into his own recognisance in
201., to appear when required.

THE LITTLE FOUNDLING.—Some few weeks ago
tine little girl was left in a band.bssx at a gentleman's house in
Skircoat, from whence it was removed to the union workhouse.
During the past week two 5/. notes were inclosed to C. Barstow,
Esq., clerk to the Halifax union, accompanied by a neatly written
note, evidently by a female hand, as follows :—" For the main.
tenance of the foundling_a little girl—left between the Sowerbr
bridge station and Halifax, in the beginning of September. First
Year." It would seem, therefore, that the subscription will be
an annual one. It is intended to christen the little foundling
in a few days; perhaps the lady who forwarded the above note
would intimate what name she would wish it to be baptised ?
Halifax Guardian.

THE ISLE OF JERSEY RAILWAY.—The prelimi-
naries connected with the " Isle of Jersey Railway and Pier
Company," are now being rapidly proceeded with. We have now
before us an accurate plan of the whole scheme. It would be dif-
ficult to conceive a line of railroad, even of mush more limited
dimensions than that which now engages the attention of our
islanders, capable of being constructed at a cost so comparatively
trifling. We understand that since the recent meeting at Losey's
hotel, many of the previeusly most bitter enemies of the scheme
have become converted to an idea of itoutillty. Not a few inquiries
have been nude of ourselves, in relation to the probability of a rise
in the rate of premium—inquiries evincing the deep interest
entertained with respect to the affair.
We are happy to record the generous offer of Mr.
Wallis, second Master on board `the Excellent, who very kindly
volunteered his services to the Master-Attendant of Portsmouthu
to
stocuyanard, to conduct the ill-fated Eclair, from the Motherbank
gate creek, should any difficulty occur in obtaining a pilot.
