POST-OFFICE LONDON DIRECTORY, 1845.—This work has now reached its forty-sixth annual publication, and latterly it has been brought out on such a comprehensive, correct, and extensive system, that it has driven all competitors from the field. The editor, Mr. Kelly, in announcing this fact, at the same time assures the public that they shall not suffer—on the contrary, profit—by the monopoly ; for it is increased as compared with the edition of 1844, by twenty-eight pages, containing more than 4,000 names, and these not confined to one list, but carried into the various classifications, all of which are proportionally extended. The Postal Directory, which has been compiled with great care, furnishes complete instruc • tien as to the dispatch of letters and newspapers to all parts of the world; and the list of the principal places in England and Wales has been greatly enlarged, for the purpose of facilitating the operations of the money-order office. The following are a few of the additional improvements in this edition. For the metropolis, there is a return of real property assessed to the property and income-tax for the year ending April 1843, with the population according to the last census, with the number of acres which this vast metropolis covers. These amount to 60,000, the ptooptuhleatviroenpetortyl,..9tsaox,,9l22l:779d,lt2h4etreal property assessed each ward, parish, and The population of obliterating inn of court, is given separately. There is also aaust e notice respecting' the oblithe townssta ra-apnadusethd the Post-office, with a list of respective which shows attive figures prefixed, once the place where the  letter is posted, and thereby remedies a very common defect—the illegibility of the country postoffice mark of the town. A third improvement is an interesting statistical account of the commerce of the metropolis, as regards the employment of the inhabitants, the different trades carried on in its vast extent. There is also a list of bankers entitled to issue notes, with the average amount of the bank notes of such banker which were in circulation during the period of twelve weeks preceding the 27th of April last, according to the returns made by such banker in pursuance of an Act passed in the fourth and fifth years of the present reign. Besides these, there are several other improvements which contribute materially to the convenience of consulting a work so multifarious, and which contains not fewer than 1,980 pages of close, but very distinct, letter-press. It is accompanied by a map of London, formed from a recent survey. The other portions of this Directory we have on former occasions described, and it is needless to refer to it farther than by saying, that by taking the additional improvements into account, the late period to which the returns have been made, and the excellent arrangements, it is, perhaps, the most complete manual of the kind ever published.  MORTALITY IN THE MEntoroms.—The number of deaths during the week, ending Saturday, Nov. 9, was 989, showing an increase over the previous week of 23.

Rupture, one case (probably by violence, but the nature is not described). Wound, one case (by an animal).
