" There is at present an Exhibition at 209, Regent-street, as elaborate a Model as was ever perhaps presented to pub ' lie view. It is a copy, in ivory, of the celebrated Tage 3.luhal, one of the most remarkable edifices in modern Agra, erected in 1650 by Khan Shah Jehan, the fifth Great Mogul, as the cemetery of his favourite wife, Sultana Mehd Altya. This mausoleum is built entirely of white marble, an. 4 some .dea may be fot met' of its splendour, when it is stated to have cost in its erection 60 lacs of rupees, or 756,000/ The Model occupies a space of nine square feet, and its helgta is six feet. It is the work of Indian artists, anti while in point of extent it is unmatchable, it is also one of the finest specimens of that minuteness of detail and delicate manipulation for which Indian ivory working is so noted. The amount of labour bestowed on this model must have been immense. It is not ' the hasty pro duct of a day,' but the result of many years' patient applica ik,n. All the multitudinous carvings and inlayings of the ori ginal building are expressed is the copy with every appearance of exactness ; nor is the resemblance limited to the outside alone : the interior is also finibbcd in the same minute style, and contains the tombs of the Shah and his Consort, exqui ,sitelji and elaborately worked. On the whole, this model pre sents a torprising and beautiful effect, and forms one of the inOst inter-sting exhibit ions in the metropolis."--Morn. Chron. Open ,frtsn Ten to Six o'clock.

LONDON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1842. RESIGNATION OF THE DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM. - The late visits of Sir ROBERT PEE L , an d ot h er C a binet iVlinisters, to Stowe, gave warnin g that 1 comm otion wasat hand. The straw has s i nce been ver y visibly moving in many spots, and out at last cornea a great rat, the Corn-law Duke of BUcic- INGIIAM. The Prime Minister and he could not renlain together in the same Cabinet, one or other must decamp, and w e rejoice to find that this unbending advocate for dear bread has been obliged to give up the ghost as a Ilember of thk united, unanimous, and power ful Administration. This is an omen of good for the people of the United Kingdom, and w e who have toiled at the Christian work of re..)rming the C urtt-laws, and laboured in season aud out ofseason to destroy the most mischievous and unjust law ever enacted, announce the fact with no ordinary feelings of exultation, We know nothing of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S plan, nor do we touch care, because this break-up in the Cabinet proves that they cannot go on with the present law, and that sooner or liter a reform greater than that proposed by Lord JOHN Rus ext.t. must take place in the whole of our com mercial system. While we congratulate tho starving people in the manufacturing districts on the result, and bid them look out for happier days, ,we call upon them, at the same time, not to slacken their exertions, but to fight nobly till the bulwark, which so long kept them in sub jection, is levelled with the dust. Their enemies are still numerous and powerful, and can be defeated only by a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether. The Hominy Post is sensible that the with drawal of the Duke of BUCKINGHAM from the Cabinet will not recommend the Ministry to the agricultural interest. No longer ago than last Wednesday, at an agricultural meeting at Bos ton, Mr. CHRISTOPHER, in order to assuage the fears of the agriculturists, already considerably excited, told them " that the farmers need be under no apprehension so long as such men as the Duke Of BUCKINGHAM and Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL are in the Cabinet." The farmers' friend is no longer in the Cabinet, and the main connecting rod which bound the agriculturists to the first mover is snapped asunder before the machine has conic into work. If Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL remain, he must ply with the new movement, which has broken off his fellow, and the confidence of the agriculturists will not fol low his eccentric motions. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM was also peculiarly the friend of the Short Time Committee, and of Lord Asn LEY and his motley group ofSocialists and Chartists. His Grace gave them a much warmer reception than Sir J. GRAHAM and Lord STAN.. LEY ; and his retirement or expulsion from the Cabinet severs the alliance, it may be pre sumed, between the Tories and the Owenite Chartists. The Post declares that there is no question of principle involved in the change. Do the mem bers-of a Cabinet, then, formed to save the coun try, separate on questions of trifling detail ? Such men can never form an Administration to last six months, and the apology of the Post is a severe censure on its friends. It says, too, that the Duke of BUCKINGHAM continues the friend of the Administration. For how long? The Post expects that his Grace will be the friend of the Administration five months hence, ag five months ago lie expected to meet the Parliament a Member of the Cabinet; and as one expectation has been unfounded, who will answer for the correctness of the other ? When his Grace begins to oppose his late colleagues and present dear friends on "specific points of the specific measure," about which they have already disagreed, who will answer for the effects of recriminating and angry oratory ? Taunts, reproaches, secrets will escape ; and if Sir R. PEEL, having got rid of the farmers' friend, and being driven by the circumstances of the coun try, and the remonstrances of an irritated and starving people, should extend his proposed re lief, the friendship of the Duke of BUCKINGHAM will evaporate for ever. His withdrawal from the Cabinet we hail as the bursting asunder of the factious league, which was formed six months ago to maintain the starvation laws at all hazard. Will the withdrawal of the Duke obtain for the Cabinet the confidence of commercial men ? It will give them great satisfaction, but the whole proceeding will damage the character of the Ca binet, and diminish the confidence of all rational men. From the time of the Tories entering office, the Corn•law has been the one question for consideration. The Premier's plan, if he have one, ought to have been communicated to his colleagues at least two months ago. In fact, about that time the first scheme of an alteration in the. Corn-laws announced as Sir ROBERT PEEL'S was made public. Since then, the public has been inundated with alternate reports of the Duke's triumph and Sir ROBERT PEEL'S victory. The Post admits that the discussion which ter minated only the day before yesterday, has lated eight or ten days. What is the legiti mate inferenee'from all these facts? Why, that the Cabinet has been. unable to agree, after six months' deliberation, on any measure either of tinancenr trade—for the Corn-laws is the key of all—till within four days of the meeting of Par liament, and then only agrees to expel one of its own members. Now comes another consideration. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM being got rid of, the support of the agriculturists' interest being weakened or lost, the probability is, that the Cabinet will make its proposed measure still moue favourable to commerce, in order to conciliate the other classes. If such be the case, we shall have this united Cabinet, after six months' deliberation actually meeting Parliament with a measure concerning one of the most important subjects that ever required a statesman's attention, framed within a few hours of its assembling. Such solemn quackery would damage any Cabi- net in the estimation of rational men; and the blow which has severed the farmers' friend from Sir ROBERT PEEL'S side, will not knit to him any representathre of the manufacturing interest. What, also, will be thought of the skill of the great master, whose instrument of government breaks to pieces on the very first trial? Hitherto clie Cabinet has done nothing, however active the heads of departments may have been ; its first act is the Speech from the Throne, and, in preparing that, the machine has ruptured an important link. Who, after that, will not find his confi dence in the machine, and in the chief ma chinist, considerably abated'! What portion of it may next get out of repair and break off we pre tend not to foresee; but as it has not been able to hold together while running in the smooth tracks of Downing-street, it is not likely to be come more compact and safe when exposed to the rough friction of Parliament. We heartily congratulate our readers upon the first symptom of dissension amongst our ene mies. The voice of the people in a righteous cause will' be found more powerful than an ini quitous faction, however numerous. Terror wil so, ,on penetrate into the hearts of the unjust spoilers, and pervade their ranks. It is only ne cessary for the men, who a re h earty in the good cause, to press the yielding foe, and the only cry 'e shall soon hear from him will be " Sauve qui • " To-morrow only let the people show temselves worthy of liberty, and they shall for e ver be free. cent. Proceeding on that rational philosophy which had its birth-place in England, to which we al luded on Monday, we propose briefly to inquire mi what facts, past, present, or future, Puseyism rests, and is offered to mankind as a means of making them better, wiser, and happier. To us t appears to rest more on a negation of external [has, and on the ambitious internal desires of a Pew men, than on any positive and certain truths. About ten or twelve years ago, the Puseyites began to creep into notice, which places their origin coeval with a great political movement. In 1630, the throne of the elder BOURBONS was overturned, and that of LOUIS PHILIPPE erected, Belgium was separated from Holland, and Po land made an attempt to break her chains. In England the Whigs were carried into office on the shoulders of a reforming people, and, after a Considerable struggle, made the Reform Bill the law of the land• But the demands of the people went much beyond the Ministerial plan, and re quired the expulsion of the Bishops from the House of Lords, and the degradation of the aristocracy. At that period, all the upper classes, particularly the priesthood, were alarmed lest England should be revolutionized. Autho rity- seemed to have lost its hold of the human mind, and political power throughout Europe was shaken to its foundation. Coeval with that great social fact, some timid, „-...~-~ w.. and perhaps intelligent men, of the priesthood began to look into the efficiency of the Church. Their own tenets, which led them to look on it as the source of authority and social order, com bined with this change of the public mind, forced the investigation on them, and forced them to the conclusion that there was something erroneous either in the doctrines or discipline of the Church, which was the cause of its failure as a great means of creating and preserving in the mind the sentiment of reverence for autho rity. The opinions of the sect grew up, there fore, from apolitical change. It had more of a political than a religious origin, and it keeps in view a political purpose. It sprung from the obvious decay of priestly power and influence, and the ambitious and selfish object of its founders is to revive in the hearts of men a great respect and reverence for that authority of which they claim to be the possessors. These good and learned men perhaps have not yet reflected on the fact which their doctrines and "exertions to promote improvement in the Church makes apparent to more worldly persons. With infidels and Dissenters they share the opinion, though they may not avow it, that the Church, as how organised, is a total failure. Many persons will differ from them as to the means of effecting a reform, who will hail with rapture the practical testimony of their conduct to the inefficiency of the Establishment. They are not, however, singular in serving the purposes of their opponents. There are no sects in the Church, be they Evangelicals or Pu seyites, no party in the Conservative ranks, be they Moderate or ultra-Tories,—do they demand the aid of the State to increase the Church, or call on the Church to extend out of its own funds the means of instructing the people,—are they merely the enemies of our factory sys tem, and content themselves with recommend ing a Short Time Bill; or do they propose to raze our towns, and stop the growth of the manufacturing population,—there is no party, and no persons, in the Conservative ranks, who do not now, like the Puseyites, virtually condemn some of our institutions, or some part of society, us it at present exists, by proposing alterations, and what they call improvements. Some of them content themselves by demand ing laws to restrict the use of machinery, or to tax it--:-others admit that at least a change must be made in the Corn-law averages ; some object altogether to the representative system— others only ask for the admission into the House of Commons, of one hundred Members, by some rotten borough contrivance : but they all share the sceptical, unquiet spirit of the times, as well as. Whigs, Liberals, and Dissenters. Like other men, they have lost all reverence for the things which are, and demand some change. Their conduct demonstrates their hypocrisy. The name "Conservatives" is a fraud, and their conduct proves that Conservatism 'is an impossi bility. The only substantial difference between them and their opponents is the direction in which the changes shallhe made, and by whose hands. The Puseyites are extreme Conserva tives, and they demand an extensive reform in . the actual pr ac ti ces o f t h e Church, to be made by the priesthood. The main fact on which their system is based, is the decay of authority, which they desire to restore. It has no other link to connect it with society. They assume, of course, the necessity of their authority. A belief that it is beneficial is ground into them from the beginning of their education, and forms a part of their second nature. What they aim at, is a restoration of passed away observances, as a means of restoring authority. The Reformation was a great blow to that priesthood in whose hands is the apos tolical succession, and one of the cardinal novel ties of the Puseyites is to censure the Reforma tion as an act of undutiful obedience. They wish to carry the Church and the people back towards Rome, to which they owe their power. Hence their praise and admiration of HILDEBRAND and GREGORY, the builders up of priestly power, and their censure of RiDLEv and LATIMER, who struck it a heavy blow. At, the bottom of their proceedings lies no conviction more sacred than that authority has decayed, no truth more general than their own fears of its still further decay. They trace the present weakness of the priesthood to the Reformation, and they hope to expiate their predecessors' sins by a return to respect and dutiful obedience. In recognising the power of Rome, they aim at consolidating their own. When the priesthood was most powerful, the members of the body were unmarried. They devoted all their energies to the aggrandisement of their order and the extension of its influence. On this account the Puseyites now recommend the celibacy of the clergy, and sneer at allowing sacred duties to be interrupted by the cares of a wife , and family. For the same reason they praise monachism, and are inclined to re-esta blish monasteries. The Romish priesthood used many ceremonials to blind and deceive the people : the Puseyites insist on restoring all that are mentioned in the Prayer-book, though dis used in practice; and they wish to introduce fresh ones, consecrated by the practice of Rome. They ask for daily prayers, and insist on fasts- Protestantism recognises, in words, if not in deeds, the right of private jndgment ; the Pusey ites, therefore, stigmatise Protestantism as anti- Christian. To go forward from Rome is still more than at present to throw off the priestly power ; and the Tractarians on this account, too, prefer going backwards. We need not give any more specimens of the one leading idea of Puseyism. As it is based on a perception of the decay of authyrity, so all its innovations, on pre tence of restoring the true Catholic Universal Church, tend to the one object, of restoring and strengthening the authority of the present suc cessors of the Apostles. We have been censured in a provincial journal fbr making too light of the Puseyites, and we are assured that they are earnest and learned men, who will not be snubbed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, nor cease their exertions till they have obtained a victory . . In the Established Church we are in clined to believe that they will have great power, but out of the Church we doubt whether they can ever gain any influence. They may grind their nostrums into the tender mind of some suck ties upon the .Address. The speech of M. Mr, LOUT; and 'the acclamations_ which interrupted its dellvety - from the Left, extremely disconcerted the second-rate men of the Cabinet. M. BILLouT told the Chamber some wholesome truths, arid the Ministers admitted, by their uneasiness; that they felt their application very keenly. He said that - three institutions were the practical results of two great Revolutions, one of which had shook the very frame-work of European society. These institutions were — the Freedom of the Press, Trial by Jury, and the National Guards. The National Guards, when not the obsequious tools of the Court, were now treated with indifference, because the Government had learned to derive support. on all occasions from the troops of the line. The Li berty of the Press was a mockery. Ministerial circulars invited to prosecutions of the press in terms scandalous in a free country, and even in cases where there could exist no hope of a con viction. Of the latter fact, the Hon. Deputy -cited numerous instances. Eight journals were threatened with prosecutions in one day, yet not one of them was brought to trial, the Government being sensible that they had committed no. of fence. Journalists had been dragged to prison chained by the neck, who were subsequently acquitted of the shadow of an offence by Juries—the - object of the Government being' to goad them into some violation of the Septem ber Laws. But these enormities fell short of in voking the aid of an irresponsible body, like the Chamber of Peers. The Court of Peers was the only irresponsible body in France, and yet its members were called in to persecute men whose alleged offences were not found to come within the operation of any criminal enactments. And such was the rancour with which the Court of Peers undertook this base office, that it had con verted the printers of Journals into censors of their contents, as otherwise they dreaded incur ring the vengeance of this terrible and irrespon sible tribunal. As regarded Trial by Jury, the Hon. Deputy demonstrated that it existed only in name. The Jury lists were prepared by the tools of Government in such a way as to exclude from them almost every man opposed to the existing order of things. Both in the capi tal and the provinces Jurymen were as carefully selected as Prefects on account of their political opinions. The Jury list for the capital for the present year contained 1,500 names, of whom just one-third were persons in the service of the Go vernment. This speech, of which the above is a mere outline, created an - extraordinary sensation in the Chamber. The Left cheered it, and altogether the excitement was extreme. The Minister of Justice attempted La reply, which only made matters worse. He defended the prosecution of the Journals, but denied that lie was influenced by unconstitutional motives. He eulogized the firmness, the impartiality, and the patriotic services of the Court of Peers, which was replied to by a shout of derisive laughter. M. BILLOUT having stated, on the authority of a Judge and Deputy, M. ISAMBERT, that the Government had addressed a letter to Riotn, recomniending the packing ofJuries, the Minister of Finance gave the statement a flat Contradiction, adding that, if such were the case, the Learned Judge understood his duty too well to reveal the secrets of the Government. Hereupon M. ISAMBERT rose, and said that he bad read the letter, that he had communicated its purport to M. BILLOUT, and that in so doing he con ceived that he was performing only his duty as a Deputy. M. PORTALIS, another Judge, started up, and applauded the conduct of M. ISAMBERT, and declared that if similarly circumstanced he would do the same. M. ODILON BARROT took the same view of M. ISAMBERT'S conduct, and thanked him, in the name of his friends, for his faithful discharge of his duty to the Chamber. The Cabinet and the Peers will not soon forget M. Bile. LOUT'S speech on Friday last, however the Journal des Debuts of Sunday may affect to sneer at it. A Correspondent assures us that it produced a sort of panic at Court, that se veral regiments were under arms, and that at one time an insurrection was seriously appre hended. Moderate men begin now to think that the greatest enemy of the ORLEANS dynasty is really its basest and most subservient tool—the Chamber of Peers. The Paris Journals are exceedingly desti tute of news, with the exception of the items of intelligence given in our Foreign Summary. The Address of the Chamber of Deputies was to be presented to the KING on Sunday evening, and at Monday's sitting the Minister of Finance was to bring forward his Budget. • The Augsburg Gazette, in a letter published under the head of—" Frontiers of Poland, 18th January," gives curious details of the denationalisation of Poland; every thing in that unfortunate country, every day assumes more and more a Russian aspect. No accounts are kept except in roubles and copecs ; on the great roads, the distances are marked only in versts. Very recently, bank-notes have been issued of the Value of three silver roubles, equivalent to twenty Polish flomins. These notes look very well ; the value is narked on the back in Eng lish, French, and German. Warsaw (says the letter, in conclusion) will be very brilliant this winter ; the seve ral classes a society which can mix together rival each other in giving fetes, for the Russians and Poles have this in common that they are all extravagantly fond of pleasure.—Constitationnei. Madrid Journals of the 23d ult. have been re ceived. A stormy debate on the Address stil occupied the Cortes. A project of law was also laid before them for preventing all appeals to Rome, and virtually making the Sovereign of SPAIN head of the Spanish Church. This pro posed law will create a great ferment, not only in Spain, but at Rome. Mr. MACAULAY, Mr. SHIEL,and the other dashing 7iterateurs• of the late Ministry, whose splendid talents received from the nation,through the Liberal party, a rich reward, have been en gaged, we have no doubt, during the recess, in intense study of the great questions which now _agitate the community, and will be prepared, when Parliament meets, to throw a flood of light on whatever is doubtful or obscure. They have not, as far as we are aware, contributed anything to the Liberal cause since the Parliament was dismissed, and we conjecture, therefore, that they have been secretly, and in retirement, ap plying their minds with all diligence to the sub jects in dispute. Parliament is about to open, and we shall look for a great blaze of illumination from the learned men and great orators of our party. ing statesman, who has the same desire to restore authority, and the same consciousness of its de cay as the Puseyites, and, therefore, makes of a heap of unsightly laws a " national conscience ;" but they never will gain any great and lasting in- fluence over the people. Who ever saw a race of men return from com fortable cleanly dwellings to the smoke-filled hovels of their ancestors? When did a people give up printing and retake themselves to the cir culation of knowledge by writing? At what period of man's history has he wilfully given up the knowledge and comforts of civilisation for the ignorance and discomforts of barbarism ? If there be no examples of such a retrograde progress how can it be rationally expected that they should now sacrifice their own will, of which men in general'are so tenacious, to restore the dominion of exploded priestcraft? Mankind, all over the world, and through all time, have experienced much mischief from sub mission to the priesthood, which will be a com plete guarantee against the revival of their power by the instrumentality of the Puseyites. The decay of authority, against which they are striv ing, is the natural and necessary consequence of the conviction of the mischief of unbounded sub mission. • There are no facts in the present con- di tion of society which at all correspond to those fitets in its condition on which the power of the Romish priesthood was originally built; and learning ten thousand times greater than that of the Puseyites, and sincerity ten thousand times more sincere than their worldly-minded convic- ions, cannotaccoraplish that restoration of autho- rity at which the Puseyites aim. The French Ministerial Journals are as savage as the Opposition papers are delighted with Friday's debate in the French Chamber of Depu- VIE SUN, LONDON 3 _ WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1842.

How our Agnewites, with the Bishop of London and the Magistracy of Edin burgh at their head, would rail if this breach of the Sab bath, instead of being committed by a King and the re presentatives of his kingdom, was imitated at an immea surable distance by some poverty-stricken retailer of lollilops ! Suppose the King a vender of sugar-candy and the Deputies an assembly of urchins in possession of a farthing a piece of pocket-money, what a pious hubbub would be raised by the Saints. A letter from the frontiers of Poland, of the let of January, contradicts the statements respecting the re cent defeat ofthe Russians by the Circassians. On the contrary, it asserts that the Circassians have sustained great reverses, which the Russian Cabinet attributes to the absence of British agents, none of whom are now to be found is that country. What is> our old friend Daoud Bey (Mr. David Uquhart) about ? Having disposed of Lord Palmerston to his entire satisfaction, how hap pens it that his protecting shield is not thrown over his old friends, inhabiting the extensive range of the Cau casian mountains ? The French Minister of Finance was to bring his budget forward on Monday. In his preamble he says that he is followin g up the operation of a loan. France, after fifty years of revolution, of success, and reverses, has bor rowed at an interest of 3f. 91c., whilst Austria negotiates under par its Five per Cent. Metallics, whilst Russia gets an offer of but 87 for a Four per Cent. loan, and when Holland issues her Two-and-a-Half per Cents. but at 51 and 52. It was demonstrated to him , that with the 150 millions borrowed, joined w ith th e i ssue of Treasury Bonds and other means, all expenses, now foreseen might be met for two years to come, without further loan or precaution. The war budget, including Algeria, deniands 295,909,733 francs, for an effective of 344,000 men, and 84,288 horses. Of these 44,000 are for Algeria. A com pany per battalion being suppressed, 100,000 men more will pass in to the reserve of 1843, and a reduction of 13,395 horses will be successively realized. These re ductions, with other economy, will produce a diminution of expense 0f . 32,656,892 francs. The 35,740,000 francs allotted to public works in 1842 will be so employed. The budget of the navy amounts to 98,763,026 f., com prising 4,440,000 f. for works, and 2,400,000 f. for steam • packet boats. Between the navy budget of 1842, and the present one for 1843, there is a difference of 37,278,588 f. Reductions are to be realised by a dimi nution of the effective of ships' crews, and of the number of armed ships, and of colonial fortifications. The esta blishment of steam-boats between Havre and New York not having been realised, no credit is required. The Government will, however, undertake to establish these vessels. Madrid letters of the 23d inst. state that a law has been presented to the Cortes, forbidding all recurrence to Rome for mass, dispensations, &c. The prelates. of the kingdom are alone to exercise this right, according to the Council of Trent.. Nuncios are forbidden to reside in Spain. No money is to be sent to the Court of Rome. Rome is to be allowed no right of confirming ecclesiastical appointments. This point is to be settled according to the 6th canon of the 12th Council ofToledo. Exile is to be the punishment of the prelate who shall seek confirmation in the pallium at Rome. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Herald observes that it is hardly pos sible to overrate the importance of Mr. Gregory's return for the city of Dublin, and adds, " In his own strong hold—thus early in the career of his magisterial and civil authority, and after all his unscrupulous efforts to swamp the constituency with pitchforked freemen—we behold the champion of agitation and sedition signally defeated in the rejection of such a candidate as Lord Morpeth. All the respect which the personal character of that nobleman justly commands—all the popularity which his courteous and obliging demeanour in office was so well calculated to secure for him among the citizens of all classes in Dublin, have not availed, to save his Lordship's election, when it was felt that his return would be incompatible with the spirit of Earl De Grey's Government, and the certain progression of Irish prospe rity under the administration of Sir Robert Peel. The Post has an article on the subject of the difficul ties against which Sir .Robert Peel's - Government will have to contend ; in the course of which it remarks:— " His disadvantages arise out of the wretched state of the national affairs bequeathed to him by his predeces sors. The revenue of the country has been thrown away, and it must be built up again. There is a- great' accumulation on the wrong side of the account, which must, in some way or another, be cleared off. And these financial difficulties -must be contended with, at a time when the manufactures and commerce of the coun try are remarkably depressed. Here, again, we trace the bad management of those who, having reformed' the Parliament in a violent hurry, did not know what to do with it when the steady work of statesmanship had to be attended to." The Times, discussing the question' of the mutineers of the slave-ship Creole, says:—" By what possible right can we claim to exempt certain crimes from the class of murder, because committed in assertion of what would have been the criminals' rights if they had been born or transferred into English jurisdiction ? We might as well call him honest who refused to pay a French debt because it would have been barred in England by the Statute of Limitations. Whatever difficulties there may be in adopting the principle of the delivery of fugitive criminals, whether in general or arising from our present relati9ns with America, all which we are far from under rating, we certainly cannot urge on behalf of these men the plea of not guilty.' " The Advertiser remarks in an article on the injurious effects of party-spirit ;—" The party names of Whig and Tory have sufficed to set society together by the ears ; and while the people have been cuffing and cudgelling each other, for the sound of a mere name, those who fomented the strife have been gloating over the spoil. The thing called Government has hitherto been em ployed to impoverish the , productive millions for the ag grandisement of a luxurious' aristocracy." The Chronicle thus accounts for the success of the Tory Candidate at the Dublin election :—" In the result of the city of Dublin election, the Tory journals discern 'a reaction' in favour of their party. A gang of swindlers, chuckling over the success of a professional enterprise, might as well say that it was a reaction' in favour of being plundered, that enabled them to lay hands upon the property of their victim. The Dublin election has been won by the combined influence of fraud, bribery, and intimidation, carried to lengths so scandalous as to render it impossible for Parliament to pass over the matter in silence. MONEY — TRADE—COIVINEEFLCE. At a large public meeting, on Monday, held at the White Conduit House Tavern, relative to the present position of the strike of the masons, it was stated that the strike had now continued twenty weeks, and of the 375 per sons who composed it, only five had proved false. Messrs. Wakley and Feargus O'Connor addressed the meeting, upon the resolutions which were passed, thanking the quarrymen for firmly refusing to cut stone for Messrs. Grissell and Peto ; while another resolution stated it to be clearly proved that Government had determined to oppress the working classes. 3COCLESI.A.STIC.A.L. The new synagogue in Burto n - s t ree t, B ur t on - crescent, was consecrated on Thursday with much ceremony. Among the worshippers present were—Mr. H. Monte fiore, Mr. F. Goldamid, Mr. A. Mocatta, and a great many branches of their families. The rolls of the Mo saic law were deposited in the ark, which is of a simple but neat construction. NAVAL AND MILITARY. On Monday accounts were received at Lloyd's from Falmouth, stating that the crew off the brigantine schooner Brisk, had carried the vessel out of the har bour to sea, on Thursday last, without the captain, and that every-means had been taken to trace the vessel without success. She had on board a cargo valued al 2,0004 and was a fine ship, about 190 tons burden. • The field batteries at Woolwich were on the Common several hours on Monday, firing and going through va rious evolutions, preparatory to a grand field day on Friday. HAMBURGH MAIL. HANOVER, JAN.• 24.—0 n Thursday last, there was a general meeting at the Exchange of the Merchants of this city, to consider whether a petition should be pre sented to his Majesty's Cabinet, expressing our wishes for or against an accession to the German Custom-house. Of 140 persons present, only two were in favour of the accession.- All the others wished for a petition against it. The petition (or memorial), supported by powerful arguments, is already forwarded. It is to be hoped that the other cities of the kingdom will follow the example. STOCKHOLM, JAN. 24.—1 t is said that the King's visit to Norway will probably not take place this winter. The physicians have given their opinions against it, and the King has a lameness in his foot which will be an obstacle. The Crown Prince, too, will most likely not go to Norway, so that the Storthing will be opened by Governor Von Lonenskield. Letters from Christiana, of the 21st, say that a courier from Stockholm had brought word that the King's journey was deferred, but, as some said, only till February ; it is, however, considered; that it will not take place till the summer.—Heimbuigh Papers, Jan. 28.

On Monday ; at Kensington Police Court, Major Isaiah Linwood Verity appeared on a warrant charged with having committed a violent assault with a life preserver on Captain William Gordon, of Brompton-square. It appeared that the two gentlemen passed each other in the. square on Friday night last, when the Major coughed, and the Captain returned the compliment. This salute led to high words, which were followed by heavy blows, severely injuring the arm of Captain Gordon. It ap• peered the rencontre arose out of some old grudge The defendant was bound over to appear at the Sessions, himself in 5001., and two sureties in 2501. each. Yesterday, at Marlborough-street, Fred. Rayner, a young gentleman allied to a family of distinction, was fined 41. for wantonly ringing at the door of several houses in Regent -street. at between five and six o'clock this morning, and disturbing the inmates. The fine was immediately paid. • At Union-hall on Monday, Enoch Woods, a confidential clerk in the employment of. Messrs. White and Green well, extensive linen-drapers in Blackfriars-road, and Elizabeth Woods, his mother, were charged in conjunc tion with def rau di ng the above firm of 1001. and up wards. It appeared that the male prisoner had been en trusted with the purchase of goods on behalf of his em ployers, and suspicions having arisen that all was no t right, an invest iga ti on took pace, when a large defi ciency was found in a particular stock. The female prisoner aided in defrauding the establishment. Both prisoners were committed for trial ; but, on the applica tion of Counsel, the son was adjudged to enter into his own recognizance in the sum of 200 l and find two sureties of 1001. each ; and the mother to find two I sureties of 501. each. The new Ballet at the Italian Opera_ was put in • re hearsal yesterday. Mr. Lumley has concluded an engage. ment for a limited number of nights with Mdlle. Rachel. Madame Molteni, a promising young Prima Donna, is expected to arrive in town from Italy early next week. The King of Prussia will visit Covent Garden Theatre to-night, when the Merry Wives of Windsor will be per formed by his Majesty's command. A portion of the stage of the Dublin Adelphi Theatre gave way on Friday evening last. FOrtunately .DO Seri ous injuries were sustained. - A new farce, in 3 one act, entitled Bathing, was brought out on Monday night at the Olympic Theatre. It is a apriglltly, bustling piece, and was deservedly suc cessful. COURT-PASMONABIM., 'The Earl Jermyn has returned to town from Belvoir Castle. The Duke of Northumberland has purchased the fine estate called the Magdalene FielA near Berwick, from Lord Lisburne for 28,0001. The Earl of Derby's delicate health prevented him accepting the invitation to the Royal christening. The Earl of Tankerrille has taken Viscountess Pal merston's mansion, in Little Maddox -street, for the season. The Duke and Duchess of Argyll and the Marquis of Lorn, have arrived in Connaught-place West, from Invenary Castle, for the season. The entertainment given by the Duke of Sutherland on Monday night to the King of Prussia, was on a scale of princely magnificence, and, it is said, has not been sur passed for many years. About fifty sat down to dinner, and in the latter part of the evening there was a party, consisting of above two hundred ladies and gentlemen, in full dress. During the visit of the King of Prussia on Monday at Newgate, Mrs. Fry offered up a prayer for a blessing on his Majesty, Queen, and country. On commencing the prayer, she knelt, and the King immediately followed the example, remaining on his knees till the prayer was finished. nuivrouits or •rziE DAY. The Chancellor of the Exchequer has abandoned his intention of increasing the duty on Irish whiskey, as on mature reflection, he finds that Father Mathew and the illicit distillers would be too many for him. Among the sites proposed for the Scotch Episcopal College, near Perth, the house and picturesque grounds of Innerpeffrey, the property of the Earl of Kinnoul, have been mentioned. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. The transactions in our own funds were to day at prices more in favour of the seller. Although the business done was not extensive ,it was appa rent that the resignation of the Duke of Buckingham gave satisfaction to those who had occasi on to do busi ness. Consols for present transfer impr )ved from 881 and 89, to 88* and 89*, and from 83 and 89* to 89* and 891 for the Account.

An expectation is entertained that the secession of the Duke of Buckingham from the Cabinet will lead to some,obstacles upon the opening of the session of Par liament, as far as the voting of the Answer to the Address I , may be concerned ; but some parties in the City rather imagine that all allusion to th e C orn -l aws w ill b e avo id ed ; in her Majesty's Speech, and, par consequence, in the answer. to it also. This topic altogether excites the liveliest interest in the City, and more especially in Mark-lane, where business, from the suspense and doubt in which both dealers and farmers are kept, is by no means brisk. For the advantage of all parties, whether agri cultural or commercial, it is evidently to be desired that an early adjustment of the Corn question should be made, CLOSING PRICES. BRITISH FUNDS.

Yesterday morning, at twenty minutes past eleven, his Majesty the King of Prussia, accompanied by Baron Humboldt, General Von Natzmar, and the other members of his Majesty's . suite, were conducted by Sir Henry Ellis, Mr. I'anizzi, and other officers of the British Museum, through the magnificent rooms, cabinets, and apartments of that noble edifice. His Majesty was attired in a plain unornamented suit of altogether a private character, nor did we discern even a star on his breast. His coat was of a pompadour colour, close buttoned, and the rest of his clothes black. On passing through the Reading Room, where most of the literary men of the day had assembled, together with several ladies, a general rise took place, which his Ma jesty acknowledged in a courteous manner. His Ma jesty on passing through the Royal, or King George the Fourth's Library, seemed highly gratified at the display of many thousand volumes ranged on either side of that room. His Majesty then proceeded in due order through the stately apartments containing the works of sculpture of Rome, Greece, and Egypt ; many of the more exqui site marbles attracted his attention greatly ; the cabinets of natural history, with the cases of mine rals, coins, &c., did not, of course, during so brief a review, allow of his Majesty's minute inspection, a circumstance which, no doubt, was a'denial to the phi losophic tastes of Baron Humboldt. The Museum was thronged with crowds of fashionable parties, eager to catch a sight of the " crowned head" and his followers. On leaving the Museum his Majesty proceeded to King's , College and Somerset House, where he was in due form received by the authorities of both institutions.
