It tai ro . ; , is made of solid ivory, and is an exact model of the original, which is one of the wonders of modern India. Bishop Heber, in his " Journal," speaking of the Tage Muhal, says • • '1 , 44 I went to see the cel e b ra t e d T age M u h a l, o f w hi c h i t is enough to say, that, after hearing its praises ever since I had been in India, its beauty rather exceeded than fell short of my expectations." This magnificent and beau tiful edifice is situated about three miles from Agra, on the banks of the Jumna, and is built entirely of • white • marble. It occupies a space of one hundred yards square, and is crowned by a dome which rises to the height of 150 feet. The•building itself is raised on 1 1 terrace of white marble, from the angles of which rise :four lofty minarets. It was erected about A.D. 1650. by Khan Shah Jehan, the sth Great Mogul, as the eeme- ' tery of his favourite wife Soltana Mehd Aliya, the niece of Nur Jehan, his mother- in-law. This mausoleum, the finest in the world, cosy •60 lacs of rupees, or 750,000/. It contains a central hall, within which are the tombs of the - empress and of Emperor Shah Jehan himself ; and around this hall are several smaller apartments and corridors. The founder of this magnificent mausoleum Was one of the most talented, and at the same time one of 4 , the most unfortunate, of the Sovereigns of India. Of his 1 4 , ,•affection for his wife this mausoleum, erected by him for her last resting place, was a sufficie n t p roo f ; an d h e was , e quallyremarkable for his affection for his children. t ; t7 Ao sooner had his three sons attained to years of maturity than he bestowed on each 'the government of a province.

The model, Which took).welve years in making, and which was originally intended for the late Marquis of Hastings, is one of the most beautiful specimens of Indian ingenuity ever exhibited ; and no one who takes an interest in India, its history, its architecture, or its antiquities, should omit paying a visit to the Cosmorama to inspect it.

The Letters of Queen . Henrietta Maria, wifa of Charles the First, are only two in number, and give not the slightest insight into character. Till of late years, this .woman's nature has been greatly, in some instances, wilfully misunderstood, and she has been.; eulogised fbr qualities to which she had not the. slightest pretension. Faithless as a wife, treacherous as a friend, self-willed and unprinci pled as a Queen, it is at her door that many of her husband's misfortunes, in the earlier period of his squabbles with Parliament, may be laid.

PROGRESS OF DISTRESS. _ --- - Accounts of distress among. the labouring population still continue to pour in. It is not in one district, but in all districts alike, that we hear the wail of suffering and of deep distress. In the course of the inquiries which have recently taken place into the condition of the population, discoveries of the most soul-harrowing kind have been made—such as would scarcely have been cre dible but for ocular proof and demonstration. Mothers, newly become such, laid upon pallets of dirty straw or shavings ; half-naked children lying huddled together in corners of damp cellars, or sitting shi ver i ng over th e flickering ember s i n a half-cold grate ; fathers bowed down by care, and want, and famine, with no work, no food, listening only to the piteous wailing of the wretched creatures around them ;—such have been the familiar sights encountered by the visitors of the poor during the last few weeks. Some of the enumerators recently ap pointed by. the Anti-Corn-law Associations to inquire into the distress existing in their respective districts, have assured us and others, that they would do anything rather than again encounter the scenes of misery and an guish which met their eyes in the course of their painful inquiry. _ _ )using the last week an important meeting has been held at Skipton, at which a number of deeply interesting facts were elicited, ass to the physical condition of the population of that district. The inhabitants of the Skip ton Union are engaged partly in agricultural and partly in manufacturing pursuits. The northern district is al most exclusively agricultural ; the southern district is chiefly manufacturing. It seems that the latter district has suffered much the more severely from the prevalence of distress ; for while the out-door relief in the northern or agricultural district, has only increased from 2,4501. 19s. 4d, in 1839, to 2,5941. 9s. 04d. , in 1841,—the the out-door relief in the southern, or manufacturing dis trict has increased from 4,074/. 17s. 3d., in 1839, to 4,779/. 4s. Sid, /n 1841. The astounding fact has also been brought to light by recent careful investigations, that in the Skipton Union, out of a population of 16,610, four thousand and thirty-eight individuals are subsisting on an average of only seventeen-pence per head, per week ; and sixteen hundred and ninety-seven individuals, upon an average of only ten-pence three farthings per-head, per week ! In other words, more than one-third of the entire population of the Skipton Union are at present subsisting on an average of only fifteen-pence per head, per week ! These facts have been made out by the most careful investigations, in which men of all political parties have willingly taken a part. GERMAN PAPERS. DUSSELDORF, JAN. 9.—We hear that his Majesty the King, on his return from London, will honour ou city with a visit on the 3d of February. The want o r time will most likely prevent his Majesty from visiting Paris, as he will certainly not leave London immediately after the 25th, the day fixed for the christening of the Prince of Wales ; and, as the Belgian Papers say, spend several days at Brussels. BERLLN, JAN. 16.—His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Bavaria arrived here this afternoon at two o'clock.

From the Baltic 14,754 1,908 1,880 It is dreadful to think of the misery endured by these poor starving fellow creatures of ours, at a season of the year so inclement as this ; and when we reflect, besides, that this misery has been chiefly inflicted on them by maR himself —that it is his iniquitous laws which have marred the beneficient objects of the Giver of all good— it is surely enough to turn our thoughts into fierce bit terness and hate against the authors of the horrible mischief. Total 3,788 In 1840, the number was 4,071 Decrease in English ships in 1841. 283 The total number in 1840 was 15,657 Decrease in 1841 1,093 —Handlurgh Papers, Jan. 4. WIGAN--REDUCTION OF WAOES.—We regret to state that the condition of this town and the neighbourhood is becoming worse and worse. Two large manufactur ing concerns have been in danger of closing altogether, and a large body of colliers is also likely to be out of work. W e understand that Messrs. Pennington and Son, cotton-spinners, Hindley, having recently given no tice to the reelers in their employ of an intention to re duce their wages, and those hands having intimated a resolution to resist such reduction, the firm gave notice, that, should the reelers persist in refusing to continue at work, they must close the mill ; and thus all hands in every department would be thrown out of work. As this extensive establishment affords employment to more than one half of the population of Hindley, it is not easy to describe the gloom which this state of things has thrown over the whole community of that neighbourhood. About a week ago, Messrs. Eccles and Son, cotton spinners, Wigan, gave a similar notice of reduction to their reelers, and this led to the closing of their mill for a time. The agent of the Earl of Belcarres, we under stand, has given notice to the whole of the colliers in the employ of his Lordship, at Wigan and the neighbour hood, and who are said to exceed 2,000 in number, that -their wages will be re d uce d i n a f ew days. This intima tion excited considerable feeling amongst the colliers; they held a numerous meeting at the Commerciall Hull, Wigan, on Monday night, as we have heard, for the pur pose of taking into consideration the propriety of with standing the proposed reduction; but, as it was a meet ing of colliers, the result of their discussions had not transpired when our account left Wigan. The distress in the town is very great, and is increasing; large num bers of operatives are out of employ. A supply of son!) has been distributed during the last three weeks; but such modes of relief can do but little where the distress is so general and so overwhelming. Manchester Guardian. PROCEEDINGS AGAINST STAR- VATION. Mr. George Thompson, the celebrated Anti-Corn-law Lecturer, made the following observations at Carlisle, during the last week : "Don't be dependent on foreigners !" This is another very favourite cry of the Corn-law makers. Methinks, if they were to practise the doctrine they preach, they would be " poor indeed." Let us pay a friendly visit to the man who preaches this doctrine, and let us see whether he lives up to it. For the beauty of all preach ing, is that which is by practice. Let us go and dine with him at his own house, at seven, just after he has left the House of Lords, where he has silenced Lord Radnor by crying—" Don't be dependent on foreigners for your supplies," and the shouts of " h ear , hear," will almost occupy ,a whole line in the next day's paper.

CITY OF DUBLIN ELECTION. DUBLIN, JAN. 17.—1 n consequence of the circum stances which have been disclosed regarding one of the Sheriffs still retained in office, the Committee of the Reformers have forwarded another memorial to Lord Eliot, representing to his Lordship the extreme injus tice practised towards the Reformers at the list election, in the premature closing of the poll, the obstruction of voters, and various other ways, and urging upon him the absolute necessity, if anything like fair play be intended, of having Sir Ldward Borough, the new Sheriff ap pointed by the Government, sworn into office, in order that he should preside as returning-officer at the coming election. THE PHILIPSTOWN MURDER(?) (From the Dublin Mail of Monday.) We give the proceedings on the inquest at Philips_ town, and. in doing so, shall not offer one single obser vation. If any man can read them, and not be satis fied that the death of the unfortunate Flanagan was purely accidental, we pity his want of intellect, or want honesty. [We pass over the names of the Jury, and give the verdict and evidence.] We find that the deceased James Flanagan came by his death in consequence of injuries received (acciden tally) from a burn, on the night of the 11th of Decem ber, and died on Saturday, the 18th instant, Dec. 1841.

The following is a letter addressed by Mr. Megan to the proprietor of the Monitor : "Sia—l have hitherto abstained from taking any public notice of certain gross and scandalous libels pub lished in your journal, in reference to a deplorable ac cident which occurred at my house in the King's County, soma weeks since, in consequence of my having placed the whole matter in the hands of my legal advisers. " The calumnies which you have circulated are ab solutely destitute of foundation, and the statement of facts on which they profess to be founded, is a total pct version of the truth.

MEETING AT WOLVERHAMPTON. —A meet ing was advertised to be held at Wolverhampton on Mon day last, to consider the advisability of raising subscrip tions for the relief of the distressed poor at this incle ment season of the year. A motion was made that a subscfption be entered into, die amount to be expended in selling bread to the neceisitous at the rate of Id. per sixpenny loaf, the number of loaves thus sold to each Pierson to be regulated by the number of his or her fa , milt ; and individuals receiving bread from the Poor-law Union to be further relieved by being allowed to t urchase potatoes at a geeatly reduced rate.

FRENCH A FRICA. The following letter from Oran, quoted by the Tou lonnais, gives a graphic sketch of the circumstances at tending the submission of the tribes of that province : " General Tempoure and General Mustapha encamped on the Rio Salado, at a place called Hammam Bou Adjer, a stratejic point at the foot of the Tassala hills, where the Beni Amars have their Douars, and which General Mustapha selected as being equally favourable for the negotiations wished to be entered upon, and for a razzia, in ease it should become necessary to make one. This has not become so, for when the tribes heard of the ar riyal of the French and General Mustapha, the chief came into this general's tent, did homage to him, and en treated him to forget all their differences, and remember only the days when they marched under the same stan dard, and requested him to use his interest with our com manders to save them from our ruinous razzias. During the siA days which the weather detained us at the bi vouac- of Hammon Bou Adjer, Gen. Mustapha's tent was crowded with chiefs and envoys pressing from all parts. Some, by the strange fashiori of their arms and costume, showed that they came from far distant parts to see the venerated warrior, whom the Arabs call the Sword of the Sultan of France. It was, indeed, a truly imposing spectacle, to see the worthy old man, seated at the entrance of his tent, which was too confined to re ceive all the chiefs who came to kiss his hand, and hear him explain the benevolent intentions of the French. Among the envoys were those charged to make arrange ments for an interview between him and Sidi Mohamet Ben Abdallah. The latter, whom the tribes wish to obey as their new chief or Sultan, had left the Moun tains of Tara with 1,000 horsemen, and the chiefs of all the tribes who have acknowledged his authority. Having come two-thirds of the distance towards our camp, and taken up a position on one of the slopes of the Bou Hait Mountain, commanding the road to Tlemcen, about two leagues from the old Roman road, called by the Arabs Ain el Bredji (Fountain of the Forts), General Mus tapha recommended Colonel Tempoure to go so far to meet Mohamet Ben Abdallah, who is not only a politi cal chief, but the most venerated Marabout of the pro vince. • The Colonel set out, accompanied by Captain Azema de Montgravier, of the artillery, commandant of one of the battalions of the column, Captain Feri Pisani Jourdan, commandant of the artillery, Captain de Laumiere, the Colonel's aide de camp, and Lieutenant Sa varres, of second African Chasseurs. General Musta pha marched at the head of his auxiliary cavalry, clad in his finest burnous, and wearing his richest arms and ac coutrements. After a three hours' march they came in view of the cortege •of the new Sultan, having dis played at its head four standards, taken for this occasion from the celebrated mosque, in which are deposited the ashes of Sidi Chiqze, the founder of his race. On seeing the cortege the Dollars uttered shouts of joy, flourished their arms in the air, and showing general anxiety to contemplate the countenance of the Marabout. On a sign from Mustapha theprincipal chiefs detached them selves from the troops, and went to announce our ar rival to the Sultan. The rest soon followed, and the two Arab chiefs, their standards and followers, were completely intermingled, embracing, and giving each other takens of mutual and entire confidence. Gen. Mus tapha alighted, in deference to the religious character of our ally, and the latter hastened to embrace him, without waiting for the kiss on the hand, a mark of respect which Pachas themselves never refuse to pay to certain Mara bouts. This first interview was extremely short between the parties. Gen. Mustapha told Mohamet Ben Abdallah that the Chi'- of the French, informed by his out-scouts of the appearance of some of the enemy's cavalry on the heights of Ain el Bredji, had made a reconnaissance up to that point, and wished that the Arab united troops should join him there. The two chiefs immediately mounted their horses, and moved towards the poiiit, at which the Colonel had taken up a position, after having driven away some spies ,of Abd-el-Kader. During the confer ence largeittes-Were lighted on the plateau, which Abd el-listder must hikie htheld from Aieptiouar, - A blue of NATIONAL REPEAL ASSOCIATION. This day the usual weekly meeting of the Repeal As sociation was held at the Corn Exchange, Mr. O'Callag han in the chaiy. The Secretary announced the receipt of 19/. ss. from the Repeaters of Manchester and Sal ford, by the hands of Mr. Timothy Duggan, of the for mer town. Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, M.P., addressed the meeting at some length, on the prospects of Ireland under Tory government. Shortly after three o'clock, the Lord Mayor arrived. He said, he begged leave to hand in 100/. from Albany, in the state of New York.—(Cheers.) I beg'also (said he) to hand in 201. from New York—(Renewed cheers) —and I call upon the Secretary to read the letters and address that accompanies these remittances. Let any man that likes talk while these documents are reading but if each man had a hundred pair of ears, you would not think you had one too many to listen to these sweet sounds of liberty coming from America.—(Cheers.) These letters professed a deep interest in the struggle for the repeal of the Union. The Albany Repealers said, "We pledge ourselves to make sacrifices for the cause beyond your. expectations." The LORD MAYOR said that as he found the name of Lord Shrewsbury mentioned in one of those letters, he wished to state that he would have his pamphlet, in re ply to his Lordship, ready for the press to-morrow. Owing to the lateness of the, hour, he wished to make a fewobservations on the approaching contest. bad nohesi tation in saying that they were quite right in not bringing forward a Repealer on this occasion, but in Lord Morpeth they had the very next best candidate that could be selected.. He was the zealous friend of civil and religious liberty—the able advocate of education—the extension of the franchise—in short, of the rights of the people. In poli tical integrity he was a Statesman beyond all praise. If a repealer were put up now, a great number of the old freemen, who will certainly vote fur Lord Morpeth, would oppose a Repealer- - ; but by- the next election he (the Lord Mayor) hail no doubt that the electors of Dublin would be sufficiently strong to return a Repealer and the Repeal pledge would be put to every candidate throughout the kingdom that asked for the suffrages of the people. Prior to the last election he expressed a doubt of success, for he was never sanguine when there was a likelihood of defeat ; but on the approaching oc casion he had not the slightest doubt of a triumphant victory if the electors only ,did their duty. Among the many advantages which the Liberals had on the present over the former occasion, was, the maturity of upwards of 200 voters, who could vote on their side.—(Bear, hear, and cheers.) It was true that they were still to have the old Sherifis.—(Hisses.) Although their time had expired—although the Act of Parliament con demned them as well as the system of which they formed a part, Lords de -Grey and . Eliot were determined to continue them until after the election, because, for sooth, they apprehend that removal now would appear like a condemnation. What was really the fact ? Ac cording to the old system there were two Sheriffs, but Mr. Browne actually passed a deed to Mr. Porter, mak, ing over to him the entire of the office. Did Lord Eliot know this when he declared that the old condemed Sheriffs should continue in office ? If he did not, will he refuse to inquire into it When this statement appears on his table, as it will through the Press to-morrow ? This conduct of Lord Eliot was only another proof of the de lusion in his Cornwall speech, in which he professed a determination to be impartial ; but what could be more partial and unjust than his conduct since lie came to Ireland ? THE CONVICT DELAHUNT. . Soon after Delahunt's sentence, he was attended in his cell at Kilmaiuham prison by the Rev. Mr. Campbell, R.C.C., who .endeavoured to administer to him the con solations of religion. Two other culprits were placed in the same cell with him, one of whom, a man named Doyle, who was charged with pig-stealing, slept with him, and he states that his sleep was more composed than his own. There is no restraint upon the prisoner further than being confined in his cell, with liberty to walk about the yard. He still entertains a hope thin he will be reprieved, and looks forward to the Executive extending mercy to wards him ; but he has never asserted his innocence as the foundation F for such a hope. Should the prisoner be executed, his will be the only execution that has taken place for seven .years, the last person who underwent the extreme penalty of the law being Robinson, • who was found guilty of violating a female at Bray. Mrs. Delahunt, who is still maintained and protected in, the prison, stated that though the prisOner was a person ad dicted to lying, and otherwise abandoned in character, he was particularly partial to children, and they we're equally fond of his company. Suspicion being excited that he was concerned in the murder of Garlibardo, the Italian organ-player, at Rathlarnhatn, a knife on which were marks of blood and some hair, recently found in the Dodder, opposite the place where the murder was committed, was shown to Mrs. Delahunt to Ascertain if it were her property : but she denied all knowledge of it. Several persons called at the prison yesterday to make inquiries respecting tie prisoner and to see him, amongst whom. were Lord Aberdour, .and other officers attached to the staff of his Excellency Earl-de Grey. The following additional disclosures , made by the pri soner sincelis conviction may not be uninteresting : The Governor of the prison having, in a conversa• tion with the prisoner on Saturday evening, adverted to . the appalling circumstances in which he was placed, he said he did not take the boy at all, and the following colloquy ensued between them : Governor—Do you mean to say that others were im plicated with you ? Delahunt—Yes; there was another man and a woman. Governor—lt is very strange, then, that you were seen with the child in various parts of the city that night, and no other persons were seen with you ? Dela hunt—l admit that ; the others were too cunning to be seen with us, and they kept 50 or 100 yards before us. Governor—What motive had you in doing it ? De lahunt—l did it for the purpose of being taken care of in the Lower Castle-yard, and to be admitted as evi dence to prosecute some person to be charged with the crime. It was the , woman that actually cut the child's throat. Governor—Where did you meet with those peo ple, and how . long had you been making it up ? Delahunt I met them accidentally that evening, a little, before the child was seduced away. They told mo what they wore going to do, and asked me to join them. I knew the man before, his name •is Doyle ; but I did not know the woman, and I knew nothing of the matter until I met them. Governor—lf you knew nothing about what was going to be done until you met those persons, what made you steal the knife from your brother's house that morning? The prisoner admitted that he did take the knife, but could not satisfactorily account for doing so. whether any reliance can be plac e d y the priso ner , exce pt so f ar as it It is difficult to say ueripomninthaitsessthaitmemseelntt BiRgIN GH AMI J.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—On dit (we know Sir Robert likes to see that expression in our columns) that it is not yet settled definitely whether the John Bull or the New Mo ral World shall be the recognised weekly official organ of the Administration. In the meantime, these worthy rivals make the most emulous use of their respective ad vantages of access to the embryo Councils of the Powers that be. The organ of Mr. Owen appears at present " the favourite" in the race. The familiar intercourse lately accorded by the chiefs of the Cabinet to the subaltern scribes and under-spur-leathers of Socialism, gives them a great start ; and while the John Bull is only enabled to " have reason to believe " that Lord Ashley will, soon after the meeting of Parliament, heat up his old hash of the Ten Hour Bill again, and to anticipate as one of the alternatives which may follow its passing— that " manufacturers will return in a variety of cases to manual labour in the production of their goods"—the New Moral World soars a bolder flight, and gives us Pisgah glimpses of a total organic change in the whole structure of society, in consequence of the light breaking in upon Ministers through Mr. Owen's antes damnees. The Northern Star, w hich will, we suppose,take the place of the Times under the new regime, which his Grace of Buckingham, Mr. Gladstone, and their Socialist friends are so well agreed about, interprets this Cabinet fraternising with Owenism after its own fashion, and announces that the "question of the' Land' has been fairly set before the Government as a remedial measure for the manifold evils we endure." It is hoped that this New Harmony will not be in terrupted by indiscretions on the part of the Bench of Bishops on the opening of the Session of Parliament. On dit, that the flexibility which sometimes tempers Episcopal fervour is much confided in to prevent Henry of Exeter renewing his crusade against Socialism. It has evidently become quite a presentable thing, since the Melbourne Ministry. There is no Home Secre tary now in the Lords, to be asked why he does not put the law in farce against the very existence, or ru mour of existence, of Socialist communities. The Arch bishop of Canterbury, and the Bishop of London, it is expected, will see the propriety of now smothering all the fears which it was suitable to express when a Whig Minister humoured the vanity of an old gentleman by presenting him at Court. STANDARD.—We are reminded by some Cor respondents of the Morning Post that we misnamed the new Psalter of the Tractarians, from which we lately made some extracts, in calling it the " Lyra Poetics." Its name is "Lyra Apostolica," a title which we cannot help thinking less decent than the application of the general title " Psal ter," the use of w hi c h b y us the Morning Post's Correspondent calls by no more gentle name than " blasphemy," Looking to the etymology of the words we cannot help thinking ours the more venial desecration, if there is any desecration in the case. We are ag ain blamed for saying that the Lyra Apos tolica lies between Mr. Kettle (mispelled Mr. Keeble) and Mr. Williams ; whereas no less than six authors have contributed to the work, whose several pro ductions can be assigned as accurately to the respective owners as the papers in " The Spectator." This may be so ; but we must respectfully observe that the persons in the secret lie in a very narrow circle—a circle probably not much wider than that contemplated by Swift's maid servants, who said, " all the world says that I am going to leave my lady." For our own part, we have not met with any one able to affiliate the articles in the " Lyra Apos tolica ;" nor can we at this moment say whether any or all the plainly Romanist extracts which we have given may not be of the muse of Mr. Williams. There seems to us, we confess, to be something excessively mean in all this shuffling and " thimble-riggery " about the editorship of the " Lyra Apostolica," and the authorship of its arti cles. It is quite fair to remain anonymous until one is questioned seriously by some one having the right to question, and as long as our act or writing is not injuriously imputed to other,. But every member of Convocation has surely the right to know the extent to which a professing Protestant Clergyman, seeking to be a Professor of Poetry at Oxford, is concerned in the compositiol; of a Romanist " hymn book ;"—that phrase, we sup pose, will not offend, —or whether he is con cerned in it at all ? And if Mr. Williams has a difficulty in giving an answer which might seem to throw responsibility upon others, these others, if they are men of honour and Christians—and if they are sincere Protestants they must• be botk—ought to come forward and exonerate the unlucky candidate ; the shuffle and the silence taken together are, not to use a harsher term, exceedingly un-Protestant, like all the proceedings of the 7'ractarianr. CO U RIE R.—As the appointed period for the meet ing of Parliament approaches, Anti-Corn-law agitators become more intensely active and malignant, doubtless with the fallacious hope that their furious ravings, and one-sided statistical reports, will serve to in fluence and give directions to the course of legislation which the present Cabinet may pro pose on that much-vexed question ; but if any of them, lay, or self-dubbed clerical, should lay that flattering unction to their soul, or fancy that the coun try or the Administration does not view their pro ceedings with supreme indifference, and l'sten to their turgid threats with sovereign contempt, the pleasing delusion will, we promise them, be speedily 'dissipated on the instant. We know of nothing more unconstitutional nothing more likely to be attended with consequences of the most disastrous kind—nothing less consistent with that freedom of thought and action, which of necessity belongs to a deliberative assembly, than that the sup position that its deliberations could be influenced, or its measures dictated by itinerant spouters or mis chievous intermeddlers, whose knowledge of the great political question which they met, not to discuss, but to determine, seems to consist in an insane hatred of the agricultural community, and whose sole object would seem to be to accomplish its ruin. There is mixed up with this a faint and distant glimmering of self-interest—a kind of impression, half-hope, half belief, that their own condition would be elevated in proportion as that of those engaged in agricultural pur suits would be depressed, labouring under the pernicious fallacy that the agriculturist and manufacturer stand in the relation of antagonists, and that what is taken from the one will find its way into the pockets of the other. It is to impress the public mind with this erroneous and invidious notion—to make the owners and occu piers of land appear in the light of exacting mono polists and grinding oppressors—that the prints in the service and pay of the League so industriously and per severingly labour, that Dissenting propagators of sedi tion bold " their conferences, " and that even otherwise respectable mercantile men lend their names and in fluence to Anti• Corn-law demonstrations. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per mile, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 d. per ounce for standard gold,:gives an exchange of 25.32, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.50, it follows that gold ,is 0.72 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices•from Ilamburgh the price of gold is 428' per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.61, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.8,1, it follows that gold is 0.93 per cent. dearer in London thin in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York, on 4 .i10n is 109 per cent., and the par of exchange betty . Eng land and America be in g 109 23-40 per cont., i follows that the exchange is 0.55 per cent. against England. Bat the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. A.movement is just now being made in the Coffee trade, for a modification of the duties levied on the van 'ous descriptions; ttlid the promoters have, it is said, already prepared a petition to the President of the Board of Trade, embodying their wishes on the subject. The matters discussed in the petition, which has gone the round and received the signatures of all the leading houses in the trade, are not new, but have before been broached, though without any practical success, and the reason why they are again renewed is the confident knovledge of the desire of the present Government to look into the various evils complained of as existing in Our commercial system, with the view of rendering all ne cediary relief, The p e titioners appear to consider that the reduction of the pi•esent dutiez levied on Coffee are not only necessary to the exisence and prosperity of the trade,. but also that the revenue would be greatly increased bythe alteration, and show that s i nce the duty has been re duced from Is. per lb. to 6d. per lb sthere has been an t t e c i otoms and Excise of increase in the collection by nea rly double the amount orig-Lnally' collected. The scale of duties prop osed, and which Are stated to be sdfficient for the protection o f the varjous interests iden tified with the trade, if proper measures afe adopted to prevent the enormous adulteration now practice by disreputable dealers, is 3d. per lb. on certih.."•ated British plantation coffee •, 3d. per lb. on Mysore, whiCh is stated to be in reality British plantation ; 40. per lb. 011; coffee imported from British ports within the limits of the .East India Company's charter, without a certificate of grolv:11,; and 70. per lb. on all foreign coffee direct ; which 2: will be observed is a reduction of one-half of the existing duties; except in the case of Mysore, which is reduced one-third, to bring it on a level with the admission of the produce :of our colonies, and for the reason before stated. There is every reasonable expectation, seeing the high respectability- and character of the parties- who have taken the matter up, of its receiving attention in the proper quarter. HERALD. —Excepting some few transactions of trifling importance in Spanish and Portuguese securities, the Foreign Market was in an inert state. Portuguese 1 rather took a start, but for what reason, excepting that the Government at Lisbon are contracting more loans upon usorious and ruinous conditions, and therefore plunging more deeply and irretrievably into debt, does not appear.. The immediate effect may be.to enable them to raise money:Sufficient to pay a , dividend more or so here gen . -the - lion& ; the more certain effect - hereafter must be to disable them from payments altogether, when the newly-Created debt comes to press for redemption or dividends 14 addition to Ate old. • `r .. ~ _._ MORNING SUN vrt - r; Cape papers of intermediate dates, and Graham's Town Journals, to the sth Nov., have arrived to-day. The prospects of the farmers of the latter colony were very encouraging. The result of the sales of the last ship= ment of wool to this country bad been received, and had prove to be most satisfactory. The cross between the Leicester rams and the Saxon and Merino ewes had fetched the highest prices, far above those of the origi nal Merino and Saxon breeds. Independent of the value of the wool grown off this description of sheep, the quantity has been, at the lowest calculation, double that of the other, while the weight of the eaticase was in creased nearly 50 per cent.; and the animals throve far better than the old sort, and came earlier - to maturity. This sort of wool was of a firmer staple, and with more body than is usually met with in the produce of the Cape, and by comparison with the prices realised- by the other farmers, showed that the cross had been advantageou s i n every respect. The value of land was rapidly improving ; a farm, which two years since had been sold for a sum not quite equal to 2,0001., had lately been resold for 3,5001., or about I4s. per acre. This presents a complete contrast to the land in the districts which are altogether culti vated With vines and corn, in the neighbour food of the old districts, where for some time past it had been diffi cult to find for it purchasers, except at rates which were - merely nominal. Port Natal was also increasing in importance. The bar at the. entrance, which kad hitherto been supposed to be an - obstacle sufficient to render the harbour useless, had been lately passed by vessels, which, upon sound ing, found 18 feet 4 inches upon it. It was also contem plated to form a jetty, plenty of materials being easily procurable ; and it was expected that when this work was completed, the depth of water on the bar would be 30 feet, a fact most material for the steamers with which it was likely this port would be visited. The depreda tions of the Caffres were increasing, and called for a de termined and vigorous opposition. LAMBETH C H URC H-RATES. This extensive and populous parish has become once more the scene of angry contention on the irritating sub ject of Church-rates. The recent decision of the Court of Queen's Bench having, by means of Mr. Sturges Bourne's Act, which admits plurality of voting in respect of property, vested all parochial offices in the hands of the Tory party, they have not failed to annoy the Libe rals by the most shamefully partial collection of every description of rates and taxes. At the last Vestry meet ing, one of the agents employed by the Reform Associa tion, proved that by means of a manoeuvre, cunningly conceived, although clumsily executed, no less than six hundred of the Liberal voters had been disfranchised within a few days of the last general election, the collec tors having been instructed not to serve the notices within the time specified by the Act .of Parliament, especial care being taken that the electors who were know to be favourable to the Tory candidates should have ample intimation for payment of the rates. The stratagem having failed, and Messrs. Hawes and D'Eyncourt having been returned by a triumphant ma jority, the Tories have taken occasion to revenge them selves by the exaction of every parochial impost against the Liberals. Finding it impossible to make a newChurch rate, they are pressing for payment of the instalments of a very large old one, with which the parish was encum bered some years back, for building additional churches, there being still several thousand pounds of .the debt in arrear. This year, there having been a surplus of 76031. accruing from the Pedlar's Acre estate, the -Tories pro posed that it should go in aid of the Church-rate. No new rate having been made, the Liberals objected that there was no precedent to sanction the approbation of that fund to such purpose. The vestry divided against the vote by a large majority, but on a poll of the parish, the Church party carried their point, Sturges Bourne's Act, giving them a colourable majority by the operation of brick and mortar voting. Not content with this vic tory, they are now enfOrcing the arrears of the church building-rate. Seizures are almost daily made upon the eK , cts of dissenting clergymen and laymen ; and all who are known to be opposed to the demands of the church are singled out us victims. The substantive ground of complaint is the unequal mode of collection that has been resorted to, and, with a view to obtain some mitigation of the burdens, a public meeting is about to be convened, in order to consider what steps it may be advisable to adopt under these circumstances.

We have been favoured by Mr. Grossmith, the active Superintendant of Police here, with the following account of the mode adopted by him to secure the apprehension of the above-named prisoners, convicted at our sessions on Saturday last, of the burglary at Mr. Willison's house, in Underbarrow. It ex hibi ts tact an d resources of no ordinary kind, and is highly creditable to the officer, both as regards his skill and vigilance. " At half-past five o'clock on Sunday morning, the twenty-fourth day of October, 1841, I was called up at my house id Kendal, and received information that Tul lithwaite Hall, in Underbarrow had been burglariously broken and robbed of a quantity of plate and. other pro. perty, at three o'clock that morning. Having .got this early intelligence, I was determined not to lose so favourable an opportunity to apprehend the burglars. I immediately at day-break, sent .Sergeant Hutchinson, with two constables, to the base of the monument on Castle How Hill, a very commanding height, in sight of all the western approaches to the borough, and from a considerable distance in the neighbouring county, with directions to keep moving about there, in order that their presence, which could not fail to be observed, might deter the thieves from entering the town, and drive them for shelter and concealment into some of the numerous barns lying westward of Kendal, while I, with one constable, patrolled and watched all the avenues which opened from the same direction. Finding, at nine o'clock, that they had not arrived, I sent a party of police to visit the barns above referred to, who succeeded in driving the thieves out from Collin-field barn, and in recovering a part of the stolen property, together with a necker chief which I know to have been worn by Tomlinson. " The whole of that day every approach to the town was strictly observed, and at night I sent out two parties of police to make search in all the barns and out-build ings westward of the town, when one party succeeded, about one o'clock next morning, iii apprehending both Harrison and Tomlinson, and in lodging them in safety in the police Office. These men I had suspected all along to have committed the numerous weekly country burglaries which occurred prior to the 24th of October; but I had never before got a sufficiently early intimation of the facts from the farmers to enable me to any good. "If farmers and other country residents near Kendal should have the misfortune to be robbed, I would sug gest to them the propriety of giving thepolieethq ear t l i i l esl, ey information in their power , with a guarantee that which the pobse may in cur, andl T l: l ca l yd e neckerchief. "a tly.ncrheathcncl a c l ea l u toty de l nt d l a t yj o ' o b t o 4i i i re l ', 4lY l4 - r - rcognised by me to be Tomlinson's, I was resolved toget the prisoner to awn. Olt the following WednesdayVtherefore, having heard in the meantime that he.had left with a woman in Kirklpd a quantity of dirty clothes to be washed, I pro cured the bundle, and, having placed the hat kerchief in question among them, cTsrried them to the louse of Correction; and gave them to the Governor vlo hand to Tomlinson. He did so, and in his presence the pri soner owned all the articles, including the identical hand kerchief found in the barn. " F. GROSSMITII, Superintendent." We understand that, since their conviction, the pri soners have confessed the robbery, and explained their mode of proceeding. Nothing however has yet tran spired as to the place of concealment of the silver cups, of which Tomlinson states that he is ignorant—his ac complice having slunk away from him in the night, while they lay in the barn together, and removed them froai the spot where they were at first deposited, in order to defraud him of his share in the produce. " There is no honour among thieves ! "—Kendal Mercury. UNTAXED BREAD.—We are informed, that the Reformers of East Sculcoates have hit upon an ex cellent mode of relieving the indigent poor, and at the same time of showing them the actual working of the bread-tax. In order to do this, they have entered into a subscription, by means of which they are enabled to sell bread to those who need it, at the price for which it might be purchased were foreign corn admitted with out a duty. Every person can understand an argument of this description, and none are so stolid as not to per ceive at once that, by -only paying five-pence for a loaf, the regular charge for which is seven-pence-halfpenny, a saving of twopence-halfpenny or one-third is effected. This is a practical demonstration of the ills arising from ,the Corn-law, and we congratulate those with whom ;l a c scheme originated. They are sure to make numerous con arts.—Hullliockingham.
