POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY for
for 1845 IS NOW PUBLISHING.
The following Reviews of the Work have already appeared:—
J
Dec. 4, 1844.

As far as utility is concerned no volume can exceed the claims
of the Directory to universal patronage. Though it is of great
bulk, it contains nothing that is superfluous, and is an exception to
the general rule, that a great book is a great evil. This is the
49th ♦olume of the series. It contains several useful additions to
its immediate predecessor, more particularly in that portion called
the " Postal Directory," and, as compared with the first volume,
published nearly half a century ago, it shows an immense increase
of information, and may be considered as an index of the history of
the vast increase of London, Westminster, and the suburbs. A
work of this kind, combining the most extensive and at the same
time the most accurate information of the residences, trades, pro-
fessions, &c., of 500,000 people, the names of hundreds of streets
and squares, arranged with such clearness of order, and so com-
prehensive as to direct the whole population where to find each
other, and in what manner to carry on the intercourse by letters,
messengers, &c., is amongst the benefits which the progress of
printing has conferred of late years, and ought to be appreciated
in a way commensurate to itsmerits by the public. It affords a
check to imposture, a facility to intercourse, and a guide to useful
intelligence. In a word, the cost of this book can scarcely be better
laid out than in its purchase.
MORNING CHRONICLE, Nov. 15, 1844.

We have just received a copy of the above work, the nature
and value of which must be well known to all our readers. A
very cursory examination of it clearly shows that there has been a
considerable increase in all its various contents or departments,
and, as far as we have been able to test it, it does not appear that
this increase has been made by any sacrifice of accuracy. Besides
all the departments which appeared in the former publications of
this work, we find that in the present volume there are several new
chapters.
All these appear to have been prepared with great care, and
furnish a valuable addition to the Directory, and this has been
dome—notwithstanding the greatly.increased size of the volume—
without any additional charge; as the proprietors state that they
rely upon an increased sale to compensate them for the additional
outlay.
We believe that this work, at the present time, has no corn.
petitor, and certainly, considering the evident care with which it
has been prepared, and the high reputation which it so deservedly
bears for accuracy, together with its cheapness, we do not think
that a competitor would have any chance of success, or—contrary
to the general rule—that the public would derive the slightest ad.
vantage from any such competition.
MORNING POST, Nov. 16, 1844.

This work, by far the most valuable of the annual class, has
made its appearance at an earlier period of the year than usual.
Though in advance of time, the compilers and printers have been
so active that all the alterations usually introduced or expected have
been effected. The " Parliamentary" and the " Official Directory"
bear evidence that the latest changes have been noted. The large
Map of London also, prefixed to the volume, has all the new
streets and recent improvements carefully marked; and in the
Railway Tables and "Conveyance Directory," the same attention
to correct the work to the latest possible date is apparent. Every
village, as well as every town in England and Wales, having a
post.office is duly stated, with the time of arrival and departure of
the London letters. No book of reference of the kind could be
more complete.
MoasiNa HERALD, Nov. 19, 1844.

The edition for 1845 of this very useful work has just been
issued. The usefulness of the ♦olume, as well as the immense
labour 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, in
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 Direc.
tory" of some 40 pages.

The typographical character of the volume Is as commendable as
the fulness and faithfulness of the work itself.
MORNINQ ADTERTISEI, 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 through the pages of the " Directory" with the view of
testing its correctness, and we are bound to say, that in no one in.
stance could we find even the slightest ground to Impugn its con-
summate fidelity.

It supersedes all ether guides and

GLoge, 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 volume for 1845, a considerable quan.
tity of new and appropriate matter, arranged under various heads.
All this has been done—notwithstanding 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 propor.
Lion to it.

HERUPATR'S RAILWAY AND COMMERCIAL AD TERTISER,
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 rhould have ready acces.

In the " Conveyance Directory" the matter connected with
Railways is full and recent. Within our Space enumeration of the
•arious subjects cannot be attempted, nor can such be requisite.
It can be only necessary of a work so universally known to sa•,
that the number of the Post Office London Directory for 1845 is
by far the best and most complete edition of the work which has
ever been produced.. Higher praise it would be difficult to bestow.
The Map with which the book is accompanied, entitled " Modern
London and its Environs," is an entirely new one, and one of the
best plans of the Metropolis we have yet seen.
RAILWAY REGISTER, Dec. 1, 1844.

There are few men of business who do not take in the " Post Offic.?
Directory," ana to such, an ejeumeration of its contents is almost
valueless ; but for those wrio 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 ,00n found, and a re-
ference to an old Directory will show how long he has been en.
gaged in such pursuits, and furnish prima-facial evidence &a 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 limes, 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 nay register of this
kind should be found playing such an important part in the com-
mercial community, if it were not well ascertained that its con-
ductors 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 beat
which has yet appeared, and the only tiigest 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.

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
in the Post Office Directory."
ILLUSTI►TED LONDON NEWS, Nov. 23, 1844.

Twenty years have made a strange alteration in the bulk of this
almost indispensable Directory. Well do we remember the mean,
spare volume of other days, with its long lines of large type, and
its shabby sheepskin binding; in place of which we have here a
ponderous large octavo volume, of come 1,900 pages, of two and
three columns each, of small type, comprising " inter alia," direc-
tories, " Official," " Stieet," " Commercial," " Law," " Court,"
" Parliamentary," "Postal," " City," " Conveyance," " Bank-
ing"—thus combining the advantages of the old " Directory" with
those of the " Court Guide"—the east with the west—and com-
prising all the information which the merchant or trader, or any
other London resi.fent or visitor, can reasonably expect to find ;
and by excellent classification and arrangement, any portion of this
information may be found without difficulty. Among other addi-
tions, we perceive some important and interesting statistics of Lon-
don—as the area in acres, population, and assessment, and a state-
ment from the Occupations' Abstract of the Census of 1841. The
" Directory" Is, in line, as complete as untiring industry and vi-
gilance can make it; for they have uniformly kept pace with the
increase of the number and extent of our metropolitan and national
establishments and interests.

M. de Belle3rne having had one vote more than the

as a check for the Cabinet. The Ministers retired im-
mediately after the scrutiny.

. .
THE BISHOP OF NOEWICH AND PUSEYISM.—On
Sunday afternoon week the Lord Bishop of Norwich
preached a sermon at the parish church of St. George's
at Colegate, Norwich, to an overfloe ing congregation,
amongst whom were many of the Dissenters, in aid
of a collection for the repairs of the fabric, the Dis-
senters having successfully resisted a compulsory rate.
and the Church. people having at length consented to
adopt the voluntary principle. His Lordship, after the
afternoon service had been read by the officiating minis-
ter, ascended the pulpit, and preached a sermon
upon Ephesians, chap. v., ver. 32 : "I speak concern-
leg Christ and the Church." In treating the subject
his Lordship took a brief review of the Church from
the Apostolic ace, noticing the gradual falling away of
the Church of Rome till its general corruption at the
time of the Reformation, acknowledging that the re-
mains of error were still to be found in the services and
rubric of the Church; and hoping that another genera-
tion would not pass away before it should be purged of
these Papistical remains. The deterioration of the
clergy of the English Church in the eighteenth century,
and the present improved state of the priesthood, were
passed under a review, his Lordship taking special no-
tice of the Tractarian principles and their prevalence in
some of the other dioceses in the kingdom, and openly
renounced them as being a step backwards to Po-
pery. They were the hay, straw, and stubble of
religion, and their introduction had a great ten-
dency to cause discord in the parishes where they were
introduced. He rejoiced that with a few exceptions
they had not been introduced into his own diocese ; and
he assured his hearers they would have no countenance
whatever from him. Their object, was to exalt the
! clergy. giving them all the power in the Church, and al-
most excluding the laity, and to destroy the principles
I of free inquiry so nobly asserted at the period of the Re-
formation. With regard to church-rates, which had so
long and so unhappily been a subject of division in this
parish, he advisedly refused to enter on that question ;
he would not rake
now passed sy,
upol disputue.asr
and thatdheart a betterburnings.
He hoped these had
spirit, a spirit of peace and union, would pervade all par-
ties in future. At the end of the service a collection wee
made, which amounted to 181. 15s. 101—IpswichErpress.
EXECUTION OF KENDREW AT YORK.—The mur-
derer, William Kendrew, underwent the extreme sen-
tence of the law on Saturday forenoon at York, in front
of the caunty gaol, for the murder of Mr. Inchbald.
The wretches) man mounted the scaffold with a very firm
step. He was preternaturally pale, but beyond that be-
trayed no emi.tion or fear. It was observed, however,
as the executioner was adjusting the rope a shivering
spasm crossed his frame, while his chest heaved convul-
sively. After being suspended the usual time the body
was cut. down, and taken within the gaol, where it will
be buried in uceordance with his sentence. A young
man was detected, almost at the foot of the scaffold, in
the act of picking pockets.
SMUGGLING OF LETTERS.—An extensive seizure of
letters for the West Indies was made by the Custom-
' house authorities on board the Trent, the last outward-
bound steamer for the West Indies. The letters were
found concealed with newspapers and samples directed
to the French Antilles. The practice of smuggling
letters on board the mail steamers appears to exist to a
! great extent, notwithstanding the vigilance exercised
by the Custom-house officers. There appear to be well
organised schemes in France for collecting and smug-
gling letters into this country, and attempts are then
made to eet, them to foreign parts, by means of a mail
packet, without the payment of postage.—Hampshire
Independent.
EFFECT OF FULLER'S EARTH.—A man at Bath,
who rents Fuller's earth pits, excavae s them, and sells
the produce to the cloth manufacturers in the neigh-
b urhood, stated, a short time since, that, in excavating
this earth, he had a good deal of the small at the mouth
of the pit, which, (Wing it to he in his way, he distri-
buted it over the adjoining field, in which there was a
young crop of barley and seeds, and that wherever it
fell the crop was surprisingly flourishing.—Sherborne
Journal.

IREL AND.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.

DUBLIN, DEC. 30.—The weekly meeting of the Asso-
ciation was lid! this day, at the Conciliation Hall.
The chair was taken by Mr. O'Neill Daunt.
The CHAIRMAN briefly add, essed the meeting, coil-
fining his observations to the threatened concordat be-
tween his Holiness the Pope and the English Govern-
ment, which he denounced in the moat emphatic terms,
and declared his conviction that any rescript, having
reference to such a subject, would be received by the
Irish people as so much waste paper.—(Cheers.)
The SECRETARY, having read the minutes of the last
day's proceedings, and acknowledged the receipt of se-
veral remittances,
Mr. S. O'BRIEN rose and moved the marked thanks
of the Association to Messrs. Mackey and Molloy for
their gratuitous exertions in conducting the recent re-
gistration of the city of Dublin, and likewise to the
Learned Gentleman who attended the registration
throughout the country generally, on the part of the
Association. The Hon. Gentleman then went into some
statistics for the purpose of showing that, at the last re-
gistry sessions the repealers had gained considerably en
their spponents, and urged on the people the neces-
sity of further exertion. It was idle, he said, to ex-
pect that the Legislature would confer on them a better
registration system than that at present existing, and
they ought, therefore, to avail themselves of the means
within their reach towards achieving the regeneration of
their country. At the next election the people of Ire-
land would have to dispose of several seats in Parliament.
The number of Members at present representing repeal
principles was quite inadequate to the state of feeling
which prevailed. He would call on those Members,
who, although they were repeaters, yet remained pas-
sive, to come forward and give effective and practical
aid in working that cause of which they were but the
nominal supporter; or they would have to render an
account to their constituents when the proper time
should arrive. They should imitate the generous and
disinterested exertions of Mr. Hutchinson. The alter-
native they had to propose to candidates at the next
election would be—if repealers, a free and gratuitous
return ; if anti-repealers, a strenuous opposition and
all its accompanying expenses. The Hoe. Gentleman
concluded by submitting his mot'on to the meeting.
Mr. GR. TTAN, M.P., seconded the motion in a
lengthened address, in the course of which he pronounced
the intrigues at present being carried on between the
Pope and the British Government as a base conspiracy
against the Catholic as well as Protestant, and that the
object of them was to poison the mind of his Holiness,
and create, if possible, an enmity between him and the
people of Ireland.

The SECRETARY announced the receipt of 40/. from
Melbourne, New South Wales, and read a communica-
tion which accompanied the remittance.
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN having given notice that Mr.
°llea would, on the next day of meeting, take a review
of the proceedings of the Association for the past year,
announced the rent for the week, 1781. 16s.
The meeting then adjourned.
RIBBONISII IN SLIGO.
The Sliyo Champion, after noticing the successful
exertions of Mr. O'Connell and the Repeal Association
to put down ribbunism in that district, laments that
new attempts hare been made to revive the pernicious
system, That journal continues—
...

" We have been furnished with the pass-words for the
present quarter, and we think it right to publish them ;
first, to show the persons who are connected with the
society that all their secrets are known ; and, secondly,
to deter them from identifying
,themselves with a system
which must end in their degradation and ruin. The
following are the signs for the present quarter:—
" Question: 'The days are on the decline?'
"Answer: So are the enemies of Ireland.'
"Question: Will Ireland get her rights?'
"Answer: ' She cannot be denied.'
" When two persons connected with the Ribbon So-
ciety dispute, without knowing each other, should a third
person, belonging to the body, be present, he interferes,
and says, ' Don't be unreasonable;' to which the answer
is, I never was otherwise.' When parties are out at
night, and want to recognise each other, one observes,
'The night appears cloudy;' and the reply is,' Yes, the
clouds appear dulL' Now, should this paragraph ever
meet the eve of a ribbonman, we ask him, must he not
be mad to adhere to a system which is so well known?
The Rev. Malachi Brenan, and his colleague, the Rev.
Mr. Noon, are doing all they can to put down ribbonism
in their parish."
MURDER IN ROSCOMMON.

The Roscommon Journal says:—" A most brutal and
inhuman murder was perpetrated a few days since mid-
way between this town and Strokestown. The victim
was a well conducted, industrious man of the name of
Patrick Shiel, whose only offence was having advanced
twopence per barrel in the price of corn in that locality,
in which he trafficked, and di,posed of in Longford."
MURDER IN KERRY.

The Tralee Chronicle contains the following :—•' On
the night of Saturday last, one of those barbarous crimes
which are the fruit of intemperance, took place near
O'Dorney. It appeared from the facts as detailed in evi-
dence upon the inquest, that a quarrel took place between
two brothers, named Cornelius Murphy and John
Murphy, while labouring under the effects of intoxica-
tion. John Murphy was urging his brother to go home,
and on his refusing he struck him a blow on the head, on
which Cornelius stabbed him with a penknife in differ-
ent parts of the body. John Murphy shortly after ex-
pired. The jury found a verdict of • Died of wounds
inflicted by Cornelius Murphy,' who has not as yet been
detected."

" A MAN KILLED IN A FACTION FIGHT.—At Sneem
fair on the 25th, a man named Sullivan, who it is said,
commenced the affray, was killed by a person named
Dwyre. The presence of the police restrained the belli-
gerents until the close of the day, when they availed
themselves of the unlucky opportunity of coming into
deadly contact with each other. Dwyre was arrested by
the Sneem police that night, and immediately after an
infuriated party of the friends of the deceased arrived at
his house, and would have, in all probability, taken sum-
mary vengeance, were they not anticipated by the vigi-
lance of the police. The deceased, it appears, was a
pledge-breaker."
