Conversations on the Bible. By a Lady. 12mo. pp. 444 The authoress has been at considerable pains to con dense into a small compass the historical contents of the Sacred Volume. The manner adopted is that of conversation, and the dialogue is very appropriate. As a whole, the performance is respectable, and calculated to be useful, in communicating not merely to young people, but to many adults who are shamefully igno rant, a more connected view than they have yet ob tained of the important events recorded in the Bible. The Wonders of Elora ; or, The Narrative of a Journey to the Temples and Dwellings excavated out of a Mountain of Granite, and extending upwards of a mile and a quarter. at Elora, in the East Indies, 4t. Jrc..tc. By Capt. J. B. Seely. Bvo. pp. 559. May not the Reader expect wondets in a volume with such a title? He will not here be disappointed. Elora does indeed present wonders, and Capt. Seely describes them with a feeling and warmth that carries the Reader along with him in his detail. In the opinion of our Author—and our Readers will probably be of the same mind when they have heard him—" no monuments of antiquity in the known world are comparable to the Caves of Elora, whether we consider their unknown origin, their stupendous size, the beauty of their archi tectural ornaments, or the vast number of statues and emblems, all hewn and fashioned out of the solid rock I " On a close approach to the temples, the eye and imagination are bewildered with the variety of interest ing objects that present themselves on every side. The feelings are interested to a degree of awe, wonder, and delight, that at first is painful, and it is a long time be fore they become sufficiently sobered and calm to con template, with any attention, the Surrounding wonders. The death-like stillness of the place, the solitude of the adjoining plains, the romantic beauty of the country, and the mountain itself, perforated in every part, all tend to impress the mind of the stranger with feelings quite new, and far different from those felt in viewing magnificent edifices amidst the busy haunts of man. Everything here invites the mind to contemplation, and every surrounding object reminds it of a remote period, and a mighty people, who were in a vale of high civi lization, whilst the natives of our own land were bar barians, living in woods and wilds • "Conceive the burst of surprise at suddenly coming upon a stupendous temple, within a large open court, hewn out of the solid rock, with all its parts perfect and beautiful, standing proudly alone upon its native bed, and detached from the nei.. ; hbouring mountain by a spacious al ea all round, nearly 250 feet deep, and 150 feet broad : this unrivalled fane rearing its rocky head to a height of nearly 100 feet—its length about 145 feet by o'2 broad—having well-formed door-ways, win dows, staircases to its upper floor, containing fine large rooms of a smooth and polished surface, regularly di vided by rows of pillars ; the whole bulk of this im mense block of isolated excavation being upwards of 500 feet in circumference, and, extraordinary as it may appear, having beyond its areas three handsome figure galleries, or virandas, supported by regular pillars, with compartments hewn out of the boundary sem p, contain ing 42 curious gigantic figures of the Ilindoo mytho logy—the whole three galleries in continuity. enclosing the areas, ant occupying the almost incredible space of nearly 420 feet of excavated rock; being, upon the ave rage, about 13 feet 2 inches broad all round, and in height 14 feet and a half; while, positively, above these again are excavated fine large rooms. Within the court, and opposite these galleries, or virandas, stands Keylas the proud, wonderfully towering in hoary majesty—a mighty fabric of rock, surpassed by no relic of anti quity in the known world. " This brief outline will impart to the reader some idea of the Wonders of Elora ! and if these temples do not excite in the mind emotions of astonishment and delight, I have quite misunderstood my o w n f eelin g s. To - build the Pantheon, the Parthenon at Athens, St. Peter's at Rome, our own St. Paul's or a Fenthill Abbey, is a ta'.k of science and labour ; but we understand how it is done, how it proceeds, and how it is finished: but to conceive for a moment a body of men, however nu merous,. with a spirit however invincible, and resources however great, attack a solid mountain of rock, in most parts 100 feet high, and excavating by the -slow pro cess of the chisel, a temple like the one I have faintly described, with its galleries, or Pantheon—its vast area, ani indescribable mass of sculpture and carving in end less profusion—the work appears beyond belief, and the mind is bewildered in amazement. " I think the caverned temples of Elora far surpass, in labour, design, &c. any of the ancient buildings that have impressed our minds with admiration; nor do I think they yield the palm of superiority to anything we are told of in Egypt " Nothing can be more romantic or interesting than the view down the great hall, or into the large rooms, ex cavated in the northern and southern sides of the moun tain facing you; or, if you wish to quit this gloomy gran deur, only cross the bridges through the small rooms, to the balcony over the gateway, and there is the open country, with beautiful nature robed in all the luxu riance and richness of oriental verdure " The principal figures, in point of rank, in the great hall, are easily recognised. Lakshmi (the wife of Vishnu, a god of the Hindoo triad); she presides over marriages and prosperity. My Brahman called the next figure represented Raj Janekas, a famous hero of old, who had the good fortune to be succoured by the god dess Site, when an infant, being found in a box in a field. Another is the figure of Guttordass ; but some of the Brahmans, who were present at the time, called him Raj Booj. These are larger than life, and are well exe cuted. The two warlike brothers, Pundoo and Couroo, are displayed here ; their feats are fully described in the Iloly War in the Mhalibarit (or Mahabarat), and fully detailed in the epic poem of that name. As their deeds of prowess are truly miraculous, and as the five brothers will more than once appear in exploring the temples here, I shall offer no apology for at once introducing them to notice, more especially as the Hindoos, high and low, learned and unlearned, of ancient and modern times, attribute the whole of the temples, both here and at Karli, to the labours of the Pandoos—that they were constructed by them by means of the heavenly in fluence and the supernatural powers they possessed. FABULOUS HISTORY OF ELORA, OR YEROOLA. " Dhrutarass, a blind and holy man, much favoured by Brahma, had a son called Couroo, and a brother named Pundoo, or Pandoo: it was so ordered, that the uncle and nephew were to govern the world; but it • g st c, -9 A., 1,9 .. al k A w ICI- happened they could not settle about their respective sovereignties. They were order ed, by a vision, to settle the dispute by playing a certain game of hazard, and Pandoo, the-uncle of Couroo, lost it. To hide his mis fortune, and to obliterate from his mind all ideas of his former power and greatness, be vowed to retreat from the face of mankind, accompanied by his wife Contee. After travelling a great distance they came to this part of India; the retirement of the place was congenial to their heavy sorrows, and here they fixed themselves. In the course of a few years they begat five sons; these were Yudishteer, Bheem or Bhima, Urjoon or Urzuna, Nacool, and Seyhuder. From a pious motive, and to please the god Crishna, they commenced excavating caverns for religious purposes; and, that the under taking might appear miraculous and wonderful to man kind, they entreated the god for a night that might last one year, which request was granted. . Bheem, the se cond son, was the principal assistant, he being amazingly strong, and eating the enormous quantity of one candy and a half of meat during the day (9001b5.) When the five brothers had finished their excavations, day broke forth ; the brothers were then dispatched to propa •Lcate the wonder; and millions of people flocked from the bribe* parts to behold the mighty and favoured family of the Pandoos. Their father, Pandoo, was removed from this world to a better, for his piety ; the sanctity of the brothers, and their supposed influence with the Deity, brought over boundless countries and dominion to their sway : in a short period of time they had seven millions of warriors and fighting men, while others were daily flocking to their standard. They then determined to wage war against their relation Couroo, who, from the length, mildness, and virtues of his reign, was universally beloved by his subjects. — Even those that had dese: ted, and had goile over to the five brothers, from a mistaken notion of their being dei fied heroes, by the great wonders of the cavern being produced in one night, seceded, and joined Couroo, who called together his faithful followers, and found that his fighting men exceeded eleven millions, eager to repel aggression; but the event of the conflict was disastrous to Couroo, for the brothers had found favour with Crishna (Vishnu), as they had performed great and holy works. So much were they 'favoured, that Cri!Aina stood before Ur zoon while be mounted his charger, and bade him not fear the hosts of Couroo. Thus were the caves of Elora excavated: Visvacarma being the archi tect employed by the Pandoos, " I do not recollect ever having read any prose ver sion of the foregoing fable : had I, it would not have been inserted here. My only reason in so doing is, that the foregoing fable concerning the divine origin of the caves is implicitly believed by the Brahmans. We wish that our limits could permit a larger ex tract, but as this cannot be, we must refer those who wish to know more about these wonderful excavations to the original work. THE DESTRUCT : TON or JERUSALEM. This is a large historical picture in oil colours, 22 feet by 14, painted by Mr, Whichelc, an artist who has occasionally contributed to the Water Colour Exhibi• tion, but is almost unknown as an oil colour painter. From the evident merits of the picture on the first view, we naturally regarded it as a performance challenging minute criticism, and exhibited in the expectation of its proving a lucrative speculation : but we we:e deceived ; tor we found on inquiry that it has been painted by the order of Mr. Dobbs, as an embellishment for his elegant rooms, where it is now fixed. It is tndeed a sti iking pi riot' of our advance in the Fine Arts, to find a painting wo:- thy of high commendation, executed with no higher an ambition than that of ornamenting a spew-room. The good taste and liberality which dictated the order are also highly pleasing, and must be rightly construed. It this is Mr. Whichelo's first attempt ou a grand scale, he has every reason to congratulate himself on the result, and will act wisely in again essaying to delineate some important period of hi:tory. DINNER TO DON MANUEL JOSE HURTADO.—An ele gant entertainment was given. on Wednesday, at the City of London Tavern, by Messrs. 1-Icants:6, GRA HAM, and POWLES, the Contractors of the first Colom bian Loan, to Don M. J. EIURTADO, the Colombian Minister, and a select party. Among the company present were— Sir James Mackintosh, M.P. Sir Robert Wilson, M.P. Dr. Lushington, M.P. Alderman Bridges, M.P. Alderman Thomp son, M.P. Mr. Attwood, M.P. Mr. B. Shaw, Mr. Buckle, Mr. Goldschmidt, Mr. S. Gurney, Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Down, Mr. S. Cock, Mr. itundell, Mr. Hardcastle, Mr. G. Lyall, Mr. S. M. Samuel, &c. &c. &c. NEW SYSTEM OF STREET ROBBERY.—Wednesday evening last, as a Gentleman was returning home through Judd-street, Brunswick-square, he was followed by four or five young men respectably dressed, who amused themselves by making remarks upon his per son, and conducting themselves so offensively, that he was under the necessity of turning round to remonstrate with them on the impropriety of their behaviour. This, however, only drew on him fresh insults ; and as one of the party approached him in a menacing attitude, the Gentleman was preparing for self-defence, when a man of respectable appeatance and gentlemanlike address I stepped up, and t emat king that he had witnessed the gross insults offered, said he felt himself called upon to offer his services, observing that he would see fair play; at the sarne time producing his card, and very politely took under his care the Gentleman's coat, of which he had divested himself in order to be free from incum brance. No sooner, however, was this object attained, than, instead of proceeding to fight, the whole party burst out into a loud and taunting laugh, and dispersing in different directions, carried off their booty, leaving the Gentleman so petrified wirh astonishment that he bad not presence of mind to pursue any of them until they were at too great a distance to be overtaken. Wednesday morning, betweenthree and five o'clock, a most audacious burglary was committed upon the fac tory of A. Solomon and Sons, No. 3, Sun -street, shopsgate-street, when the factory was broken open, and property, consisting of Leghorn hats, crowns, &c. to the amount of neatly 6001. was carried away. Monday, during the time the Tally-Ho coach was changing horses at Rochester, a man who was passing, having the care of a waggon, struck the horse with his whip, in order to make a clear passage for his vehicle ; the animal immediately plunged forward, and forced his head through the shop window of a linen-draper ; the jugular vein was severed, and in a short time the horse bled to death. ------- Thursday seinnight, a robbery was committed on the Dalkeith road, upon a person who was returning to Edinburgh from the market held at that place. A man suddenly seized hold of him, and demanded his money ; and after a stout resistance, the robber forcibly took from him 201. in bank notes ; and a bank bill for 1001. THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. These Illustrious Foreigners were not presented at Court yesterday, as had been anticipated, their recent arrival in this country had not afforded sufficient time to provide them with a proper dress and equipage. Arrangements are, however, in progress, under the &rectinn of the Earl of Liverpool and Mr. Secretary Peel, for this purpose, and, no doubt, in a few - tlays they will be presented to his Majesty in due form.— They have received several invitations from Noblemen and private individuals, but these have been declined until they have an opportunity of paying their respects to his Majesty, whose countenance and protection they have journeyed hither to solicit. They are extremely anxious to view the curiosities of this great metropolis, but for the same reasons have refrained from appearing in public. The King is a man of pleasing countenance and gentlemanly deportment; he is tall and well formed, and is dressed in European costume. The Queen is a large woman, and appears fond of dress, which she changes three or fonr times a-day. Her Majesty is some what indisposed, and frequently retires to rest, during the day ; she and her sister smoke their segars with as much goat as soma of our modern dandies, and con stantly amose themselves in playing cards. A gratify , ing treat was yesterday afforded them by the perform ances of the celebrated Mr. Punch and fan.ily, whose merits they acknowledged by an ample reward; they were also delighted by an exhibition of the Fantoccitti. In the evening they saw from the windows of their hotel the grand plocetsion of the mail coaches, with r which they seemed astonished and delighted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. No sooner was Carlile's shop, No. 84, Fteet-street, rt-opened oa Wednesday, than the Solicitor for the Treasury was again on the alert, arid Gardner, another Bois-street patrol, whose person was unknown at the shop, was dispatched there to ascertain if the sale of obnoxious publications was still persisted in. In consequence of which another vender of blasphemy was brought up yesterday, be fore Mr. ANSLEY. He stated his name to he Jo /at Christopher. The offence charged was, the having sold to Gardn. . •r No 17 of The Re publican, and a copy of raines Theological Works, and of Palmer's Principle of Mawr. Before the Alderman the defendant expressed some surprise that the publication should he designated immoral." He was of course committed to find hail, ai.d Mr. Raven •tatin ~ that it was his intention to lay three separate indictments for titre distinct offences against him, he was informed that he would Sc quired to produce good bail to answer each indicts e:m LAW REPORT. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, MAY 20. TIIE KING V. COOK. After judgment had been pronounced In several Re- venue cases, M. CA niPBELL suggested, in the case of James Stit:on Cook, that the defendant should not be called up for judgment until the plan in abatement en ' tore I by Richard Stafford Cook, who claims right to the Barony of Stafford, be decided. Mr. TAUNTON expressed a hope that the Court would not compel the prosecutor to accede to that proposition. THE KING V. J(IIN /lUNT. After a few observations from Mr. SCARLET?, the dvfendant, John Hunt, was ordered to be brought up for judgment on the 25th of May. PREROGATIVE COURT, NIAY 20. NoEL Noll. AN!) (micas. Dr. Anus caid, that in 1807, temporary adminis tration in this care was grained to Loilia Ann Middle. ton, on an aflidavit respecting the • deceased's hand. writing to a paper which purported to be his last wit' and maament ; but to which there was neither signa , cure, date, nor attesting witnesses. The administration expired in 1816, when the minor became of age, and in Ts inity Term last Sir Gerard Noel claimed to have ad ministration granted to him as a creditor to the de ceased's estate in a large amount; and in the fourth Session of Trinity Term an affidavit was put in on be hail of Mrs. Rolston, stating, that on the 29th Jamul, 1 1788, the deceased made a will, and subsequently two codicil., dated 10th January, 1799, and 21st December the same year, appointing Mrs. Robson a legatee to the amount of 10,0001. and !eating John Challes Middle. ton the executor. A monitiou was therefore granted, by which the will and codiciis were brottgl . .t into Court; at Michaelmas Term, last year, Mrs. Robson prayed that a decree might issue against John Charles Middle ton, calling on him to shesv came why administration should not be granted to her, to which no appearance has been made. The Learned Advocate, therefore, prayed that letters of administration might be granted to Mrs. Robson. The Count granted letters of administration on the former will to Mrs. Robson. sEcON A R tEs• OFFICE, MAY , 20. JAY V. SIR G. O. I'. TURNER, BART.__ Mr. PARKE, the Counsel for the plaintiffs, Messrs. W. and J. J.ty, eminent upholsterers in Broad-street, Golden-square, stated, that the present action was brought by his clients to recover 803/. from Sir Gregory Osborne Page Turner, Bart. under the following cir cumstances. In the year 1820, the Honourable Baronet took a ready furnished house, situate No. 20, Upper Baker-street, of the plaintiffs . , for the use of which he engaged to pay 5.501. per annum. The house had been fitted up in a style of magnificence suitable for the oc cupation of any Nobleman or Gentleman. At the end of the year 1822, the sum of two hundred and fusty eight pounds six shillings was due to the plaintiffs as a balance for that year's rent. A further sum of 1201. was due for rent on the Ist of February, 1823, and then a new arrangement was made between the parties, and the defendant agreed to pay for the further use of the premises at the rate of 2W. a week ; and on the 22d of March, 1823, an additional sum of Ha. was due, making in the whole, for rent, a sum of between 500/. and 6001. On the defendant leaving the premises in May, 1823, the plaintiffs, to their utter astonishment, discovered that every part of the house was pulled to pieces; the rich furniture broken, the hangings and tapestry torn to rags, the carpets rotted, and every ar ticle, even those used for culinat y purposes, broken and destroyed. Such a scene of filth and destruction was scarcely conceivable, and to put the premises in a state so as to make them tenantable, and to fit them up in the same condition as when they were let to the Honourable Baronet, the plaintiffs had expended the sum of 309/. 1 ls. with a further sum of 53/. 13s. for goods, al together making the amount claimed. In the last item there was the sum of .51. charged for taking down, re moving, and putting up bedsteads, and furniture. This sum he should not contend for; but he should call wit nesses to prove the rent claimed was due, and that the sum charged for dilapidations was fair and reasonable. After the examination of several witnesses for the plaintiffs, the SECONDARY summed up, and the Jury ' consulted for a few minutes, and gave a verdict for 8581. and a fraction, the sum claimed. Thomas Fortier, a servant in the employ of Messrs. FORD and Co. of Winchester, died on Friday. On Wed nesday, he experienced some inconvenience from a small pimple on the tongue, which increased consider ably during the following day, and on Friday became so large as to occasion death by suffocation. A Mr. BRADSHAW, a descendant of President BRAD SHAW, who presided at the trial of CHARLES I. went to Huntingdon at the late election, to vote for Mr. WELLS, who lives within a very few yards of the site of the house in which Caostwau, first drew his breath. A litter of six young foxes, with the mother, were last week taken out of a sough on the estate of Thomas Worthington ; Esq. at §barstoa, gear Stockport. BOW-STREET. Princes and Peers, and Barons bold, and Knights of high degree, and heroes, and gentle dames, were net the only comp n'y at the Royal Palace of St. James yesterday. There were also s ra1.1 , 11 all the Chevaliers d'lntlugrie—the Bunten, the Prigs, and the I•st,,- eers ; and if these latter had not the manic of the Court, v had the entree of many a well-stored pocket—as the Informatio!:- book at this office will abundantly ttstify. Three of the tribe were yesterday brought before the. Magistrate at this office. The first of these gave his name Robert Junes, but whose real name is Bradbury, and who has himself been a persecutor of pick pockets, a sort of amateur constable, who picked up a pickpocket wherever he could, and prosecuted him purely pro bond public°. Ile was charged with stealing a pocket-book from the petson of one Mr. Peter Kok Ankertchmidt—a young German manufacturer of leather, residing in Clipstnne-street, Etzroy-square. Dorrington, one of the patrol, said he tound the prisoner in the hold of the prosecutor, who was charging him with , tt aling the book now produced, and therefore he took him into custody. The prisoner in his defence said he found the hook lying upon the pavement ; and not knowing who it belonged to, he put it in his bosom until he might find the owner. Ile was 'oily committed for trial.—And it was only last week that he was li:nistlf bound over at this office to prosecute a pick pocket, whom he himself took into custody for robbing some per. son unknown. The other two prisoners were very respectable looking flier.— One of them, a very shewy young fellow, ET me his n.mie Thomas Williams, and said he was a hawker, and livtd at Bath. The other was a short elderly man. lie called hiniseif John Parsons, a bro. ker, and a freeholder of the City, living at No. 01, Penton.will," but in what street he could not say. 1k th of them positively denied that they were attempting to pick pockets, but the Magistrate or• dered them to be detained until the morrow, SPORTING INTLLLP,ENCE. BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALLS, MAY 20. The Subscription Room was not attended by any of its regatat frequenters to-day, they being absent at she Newmarket &cot Spring 31eeting; consequently no engagements on any of the rant ing great Stakes took place. NEWMARKET llF.ATll.—Tnensoasr, MAY 20. The Second Spring Meeting is within a few mi'iutes of closing, and the principal attention to-day, first at the Rooms, ar,d now on the Course, has been taken up in making engagements on the Derby and Oaks at Epsom, on which St.tkes there has been an unusual deal of heavy betting. It will be seen that the celebrated cult Scr.io (Jesse) has got up another point Since yesterday, and now stands at the small odds of only 2i to 1 against him for the Derby. Cobweb has also moved forward for the Oaks. The Donessrer Sr. lega claimed some attention; and it will he noticed that Swiss is gone back, and Altisidora become the first favourite.
