ALSO, A COMPLETE COMPENDIUM OF THE ^crangmnrts t]»g]Mt PUBLISHED BY COX AND CO. (PKOPRIETORS), BOOKSELLERS AND STATIONERS, 111, GEORGE STREET. LONDON AGENTS:—SIMrKIN AND MARSHALL, PATEENOSTEE EOW. PREFACE. To MEET the annual requirements of such an important City as Sydney, we now introduce the second number of the SYDNEY POST OFFICE DIRECTORY. The volume contains some 300 pages, and we flatter ourselves for fullness and accuracy of detail, style of production, and important information, it will do more than bear comparison with any of its annual competitors for public patronage. While tendering our grateful acknowledgments for the very liberal support bestowed upon our first SYDNEY DIRECTORY, we avail ourselves of the oppor- tunity of making a few remarks illustrative of our position at the commence- ment of the undertaking. In the first place, the tendency to frequent change of locality and residence, so natural to the inhabitants of a rising Colonial City, a tendency strengthened by the discovery of Gold in so many neighbouring localities, seemed to render anything approaching to accuracy impossible. This difficulty, however, a careful examination of our two volumes will show to have been in a great measure imaginary, the tendency being coun- teracted by the wonderful prosperity of our great city, rendering our citizens less nomadic. The confessed difficulty of collecting the requisite informa- tion was another considerable obstacle which, however, our readers being the judges, was fully overcome by the valuable assistance of gentlemen experi- enced in such work, and to whom we would cordially express our acknowledgments. We say it with no small degree of pride and gratitude, the SYDNEY POST OFFICE DIRECTORY met with an amount of success which far exceeded our most sanguine expectations. The Press met us with most favourable editorial notices ; the commercial world accepted our volume as a standard work: and encomiums poured in from all quarters, seldom received by proprietors of any new publication. Our measure of success was indeed full. Thus stimulated, we have redoubled our exertions in the production of the present volume, which appears under the special patronage of Her Majesty's Postmaster-General, who, fully recognising the necessity both of the existence and accuracy of such a work as the present, has allowed the various Letter- Carriers of the General Post Office to collect the information which now appears in our pages. IV PEEFACE. Yet, with all thege circumstances in favour of our DIRECTORY, it becomes us still to claim the indulgence of the Public for any slight errors which may appear, since, however great the amount of care which may have been taken in producing such a volume as this, errors do creep in, and we are candid enough to admit that time and experience are requisite before we can arrive at perfection. In giving forth the present edition, the Proprietors take upon themselves to correct any imperfections that may appear, and they would solicit the kind co-operation of the Public, by being furnished with " alterations or removals," at the earliest possible moment, at their Establishment, No. Ill, George Street, the Post Office Authorities having rendered them material assistance in the production of their Work, but are in no way answerable for any inac- curacies that may occur. In the present edition the Street Directory will be found muc" enlarged, the Trades' Directory has been carefully revised, and the alphabetical arrangement greatly extended; the Government Directory will be found correct, even amid the changes incidental to Responsible Government; the whole of the Ecclesiastical Establishments are given, as well as a detailed list of Charitable Institutions, Public Boards, and a complete compendium of the Postal Arrangements throughout the Colony.

    THE HERALDRY OF THE MACLEAYS AND THEIR KIN: THE ARMS OF WILLIAM MACLEAY, HIS SONS, AND THEIR MALE DESCENDANTS Stephen Michael Szabo Heraldic Consultant, Sydney INTRODUCTION In an earlier article1 I gave a brief account of the life of Alexander Macleay following his arrival in Sydney in 1826 and up to his death twenty-two years later. I noted that there had been little or no scholarly examination of the use of coats of arms and similar heraldic identifiers by Alexander Macleay and his kin by either blood or marriage, and ventured that such an examination, which I hoped to carry out, might reveal something about identity, aspiration and kinship in the Scottish diaspora in colonial New South Wales. The present article narrows its focus to look at the ancestry of Alexander Macleay, how his father acquired legitimately granted arms, and what use of these arms was made by various male family members to declare their social status. ANCESTRY The Australian Dictionary of Biography (ADB) tells us that Alexander Macleay was: the son of William Macleay, provost of Wick and deputy-lieutenant of Caithness. He was descended from an ancient family which came from Ulster; at the Reformation the family had substantial landholdings in Scotland, but by loyalty to the Stuarts suffered severe losses after the battle of Culloden.2 The ADB entry for Alexander’s son George claims that “the McLeays [were] an old Caithness landed family.”3 The latter is not entirely true, for it seems that the Macleays were newly settled in the late eighteenth century in Caithness, but they had indeed 1 Stephen Michael Szabo, ‘The Heraldry of The Macleays and Their Kin: Scottish Heraldry and Its Australian Context’, Journal of the Sydney Society for Scottish History, Vol.

Birchwood Beech Close Cobham, Surrey National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1973 CONTENTS Page 3 Biographical note 4 Correspondence of Charles Cowper and Saul Samuel, 1865-70 4 Letters of Lord Belmore to Saul Samuel, 1868-85 4 General correspondence, 1837-73 5 General correspondence, 1873-1900 12 Letters of Sir Henry Parkes to Saul Samuel, 1872-90 12 Undated letters 13 Invitations 13 Samuel Family papers, 1889-98 2 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Sir Saul Samuel (1820-1900), 1st Baronet, was born in London. His father died before he was born and in 1832 he accompanied his mother to New South Wales, where his uncle and his brother were already living. He was educated at Sydney College and in 1837 he joined the Sydney counting-house of his uncles. With his brother Lewis, he later formed the Sydney mercantile company of L. & S. Samuel and in time became a director of several companies based in Bathurst. Samuel was the first Jewish parliamentarian and the first Jewish minister of the Crown in New South Wales. He represented the counties of Roxburgh and Wellington in the Legislative Council in 1854- 56. In the Legislative Assembly he represented Orange in 1859-60, Wellington in 1862-69 and Orange in 1869-72. He returned to the Legislative Council in 1872. In 1865-66 and 1868-70 Samuel was Colonial Treasurer in the ministries led by Charles Cowper and John Robertson. He was postmaster-general in the ministries led by Henry Parkes in 1872-75, 1877 and 1878-80.

  • Rare and Curious Specimens, an Illustrated
    The attempt of the Philosophical Society of Australasia to create a colonial museum was as premature as its effort to provide a scientific forum. After the demise of the society in 1822, no public interest seems to have been evinced until June 1827 * when a Sydney newspaper offered A HINT- We should be glad to perceive amongst some of our intelligent and public­ spirited Colonists, more of a drive to prosecute the public weal than at present exists. Amongst other improvements, in these times, would there be any harm in suggesting the idea offounding an AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM? The earlier that such an institution is formed, the better it will be for posterity. 1 What stimulated the hint is unrecorded but it is not unreasonable to suppose that the arrival in Sydney in January 1826 of a new Colonial Secretary may have had something to do with it. Alexander Macleay, FRS, Fellow of the Linnean Society of London and honorary secretary of that prestigious institution from 1798 until1825, had resigned this position at the express request of Earl Bathurst, Secretary of State for the Colonies, to become head of the public service of New South Wales. He was fifty-nine years old when he came to Sydney, having retired from the British civil service on a substantial pension in 1818, but age was no impediment to his activity. He worked in close harmony with Governor Darling and his abrupt dismissal by Governor Bourke in 1837 aroused considerable dissent from the general public of New South Wales, who held him in high esteem as an honest and hard-working administrator.

Apologies from Ambassador Mairtin O Fainin, Bishop Brady, Hon Tony Kelly, Hon Paul Lynch, Tom Keneally, Dr Peter Watts, Denis O Flynn, Judge John O Meally, Jim & Marie Joyce who are the parents of Senator Barnaby Joyce whose g-g-grandmother was Mary Troy from Charleville, County Cork who arrived in Sydney in 1849 on the Lismoyne. This is a very special occasion because in two days time it will be 10 years since President Mary McAleese inaugurated this monument by removing a stone from this wall and one year later it was completed and unveiled by the then Governor–General of Australia, Sir William Deane, who, on that memorable day, spoke so movingly about the journey of his grandparent and his g-g-parents from Tipperary in 1852.
