THE IVORY MODEL OF' THE TAGE MURAL, or Crown of Edifices, at AGRA, in the East Indies. There is at present an Exhibition at 209, Regent-street, as elaborate a Model as was ever perhaps presented to pub lic view. It is a copy, in ivory, of the celebrated Tags Muhal, one of the most remarkable edifices in modern Agra, erected in 16.50 by Khan Shah Jehan, the fifth Great Mogul, as the cemetery of his favourite wife, Sultana Mehd Attys. This mausoleum is built entirely of white marble, ant some ,dea may be formed of its splendour, when it is stated to have cost in its erection 60 lam of rupees, or 75C,0001 The Model occupies a space of nine square feet, and its height is six feet. It is. the work of Indian artists, and 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 hastypro duct of a day,' but the result of many years' patient applica tion. All the multitudinous carvings and inlayings of the ori ginal building are expressed in the copy with every appearance of exactness ; nor is the resemblance limited to the outside alone : the interior is also finished in the same minute style, and contains the tombs of the Shah and his Consort, exqui sitely and elaborately worked. On the whole, this model pre sents a surprising and beautiful effect, and forms one of the most interesting exhibitions in the metropolis. —Morn. Chron. Open from Ten to Six o'clock. A dmission, Is.

The Tories are struggling with might and main to prevent the return of Lord MORPETH for the Irish metropolis. They parade the amount of the sums which they are prepared to spend in bribery and corruption. The Standard says that a more fitting candidate than Mr. GRE GORY cannot be found, which, of course, means that no other Tory is disposed to spend more than 4,0001. sterling for a seat for Dublin in the House of Commons. The Carlton Club in. ready to advance 2,000/., and with 2,0001. more, Mr. GREGORY feels assured that he could buy a working majority of the old Dublin free - men. But should Mr. GREGORY take fright at the idea of risking 4,0001., the saintly Standard recommends the Tories to put another Tory in nomination, and that the Protestant Conserva tives of England will supply the needful. There is no attempt made to disguise the corrupt influ ences which are to be set at work by the Tories. The Parson's Paper is for sparing uo expense to promote perjury in Dublin. Pious Protestant gold is to be expended in the purchase of Irish souls for SATAN. But bad as this is, it is not bad enough for the Standard. The bump of lying was never surely so strongly developed as upon the brazen front of our Contemporary. We know not which to abhor most, the falsehood or the baseness of the following foul attack upon the character of Lord MORPETH : The women of this island remember their debt to the individual 11 , 4 whom the battle is really to be fought, an d Niii6r +l4kAU*.forget that, even very lately, his nominee iti.-Dvbitn7" - *n 't e present occasion, repeated th e foul 1 : -Ilan* iDflhei . etched libeller. The women of Great 13riffii*otte'ii ' subscribe one hundred-fold the neees saiti: . , NOW :!theiii or upon what occasion, was the 1 4- high-minded, generous-hearted nobleman here lyingly alluded to, ever heard to cast a reflection upon the character of the fair sex of this or any other country ? Lord MORPETH repeat the slan der of the libeller of his countrywomen ! Never. If England has produced a man who would be the last of all others to utter a disparaging word of women, that man is undoubtedly Lord I‘lol PETH. And as to the repetition of the stale, thread-bare calumny about Mr. O'CoNNELL, it is enough that that gentleman solemnly declared in our hearing, and that of hundreds besides, in the House of Commons, that he never uttered the words attributed to him reflecting upon the chastity of Englishwomen, to justify any gentleman, or public writer, having a due regard to his own character, to treat it with silent contempt. With a view to cool the ardour of the Libe rals, the Tories pretend that, if elected, Lord MORPETH would not accept the representation of Dublin. We believe this to be altogether untrue: Lord MORPETH must entertain too high a sense of the honour done him by the Irish metropolis, to dream for an instant of declining it. Were his Lordship asked to put himself • , forward as a candidate for the representation of Dublin, very possibly he might refuse ; but it is quire another thing to be returned unasked as a Member for that city. So far as concerns the best interests of the Irish electors, it would be impossible for them to select a better, or more influential and judicious representative than the Noble Lord who so recently and so praisewor thily filled the office of Secretary for Ireland. We do not agree with our Contemporaries who find fault with the Ministers for admitting the sham deputation of the Short Time Com mittee to their presence. On the contrary, we hail with pleasure every deference which they, as the representatives of the aristocratic faction, show to the working classes, and trust the good example will be followed in other cases. It is a proof of the growing power of the democracy, and an assurance that, whenever it is united and resolved, the aristocracy will not only listen to its prayers, but run to obey its commands. After such humility, the . Ministers cannot, without the imputation of partiality, refuse to see deputations from the besieged and starving people of .Bolton, from the decaying spinners of Manchester, from the perishing hand-loom weavers of Carlisle, from the remnant of the once flourishing Stockport, from the real opera tives of Leeds, from the alms-nourished spectres of Paisley, and from all the other starving and suffering bodies in the community, not excluding the down-stricken agricultural labourers, whose wages have lately been reduced in several places front 103. to Bs. a week. Encouraged by the condescension of the Ministers, who profess great anxiety to learn from the unrepresented operatives the true state of the country, and their opinions of the causes of the general dis tress, we are disposed to advise all these bodies, if they can possibly raise the funds, to send up deputations of two or three persons to lay their case before the Ministers. If they can only procure an introduction from some Tory Mem ber, they will be admitted into the presence of the man with a heart, who is now Prime Minis ter; and if his be a human heart, their tale of woe will fill him with sorrow and with shame. He may not, like JUDAS, hang himself, after hearing the harrowing evidence of his own mis deeds, but he will not be able to escape the con viction that, where JUDAS betrayed one to death, he has betrayed thousands. That the Ministers were deceived in the cha racter and authority of the deputation intro dueed by the Tory Member for Leeds, is no fault of theirs, except that it is another proof of their profound ignorance of what concerns the people. They admitted the Tory-trumpeted deputation to their presence to lessen their igno rance, and are not to be blamed for the deceit of others. How could they know, unless Mr. BECKETT should have been so indiscreet, as to blurter it out, that the scheme was devised, as is said, by Mr. OASTLER, who is also said to have drawn up the reports, and is believed to have handed them to the Times, seeing that Mr. OASTLER was then, and is now, a prisoner in the Fleet ? How should Ministers know that the persons who presumed to intrude into their presence, led by Mr. BECKETT, were, as the Morn ing Chronicle says, " a knot of subordinate Socialists and Chartists l" How should they know, as they have ever. turned aside with horror from Owenism, that Mr. G. A. FLEMING and Mr. JOSHUA HOBSON were the doubles ofMr.OwEN and Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR, the former having been the editor of a Socialist newspaper, and the latter Mr. O'CoNNon's Leeds publisher ? How should the aristocratic RICHARD PLANTAGENET, Duke of Buckingham, or the father-in-law of Viscount VILLIERS, know whether MARK CRABTREE were or were not an ex-door-keeper of the National Conven tion, an agitator against the Poor-law, and a partisan of Mr. WALTER at Nottingham ? How should they know who is Mr. LEACH or Mr. TITUS BROOKE, or whether they lived in London or Yorkshire ? The character given to these persons by the Morning Chronicle, in an article which we copy, and also given by the Man chester Guardian, in an article which we in serted in The Sun on Monday, was probably not known to the Ministers, whatever might have been the knowledge possessed by Mr. BECKETT. He is answerable for having betrayed them into giving a cordial reception to a "knot of subordi nate Socialists and Chartists." He is not answerable for Sir JAMES GRAHAM not having spurned the deputation from his pre sence when it propounded a new appropriation of manors - and Grown lands. He is not answer able fur the cordial apprObatiOn given to Socialist doctrines by the Duke of BUCKINGHAM—for his proffer of service, and for his calling the pious Lord ASHLEY the friend of Mr.. FLEMING, Mr. llousox,:nnd Mr. CAILISTIME. He 'is not an swerable for Sir ROBERT PEEL denouncing ma chinery, while he held down his head to conceal his tears at the recollection of wealth acquired by the toil of children in his father's mills; or for Mr. GLADSTONE speaking of the Socialist views as " some of the gravest matters which could be submitted to the deliberations of the Cabinet." Mr. BECKETT is only answerable for the deceit practised on'his friends by representing these men as a deputation from any numerous and respectable body, and they are answerable for the encouragment they are reported to have given to the silly views of ignorant and mis chievous would-be law-makers. There is another party much to blame, we think, in this whole matter. Though the reports, as published, are not yet denied by the Minis ters, it is certain that they are coloured, not to say distorted; and equally certain that the depu tation was, in truth, a f'raud. Now, there can be no doubt that these circumstances, and all , the circumstances connected with the getting up the reports, were known to those who published them. In the columns of the cautious Times, which will never send forth a statement without having the name of its author, these reports first appeared; that journal, therefore, knows the whole history of them. But they are a fraud on the public ; and we charge the Times with being cognizant of the fraud. Who else may be a party to it, we know not. The Chronicle says, Mr. OASTLER; and as that gentleman has been a coadjutor of the Times, he may have been con cerned in foisting the fictitious statements of a sham deputation on the public as genuine " chapters in our social history." But with the Times, so far as the public is now aware, rests the guilt of palming on the public, as a true account, this literary and historical fraud. t , u 44 44 I ;<3 ; 0 , 0 , • • "••,. . 5.7 - • • Clift • DR. TURNBULL. [The following was omitted in a leader in our Paper of yesterday :—] Dr.TURNBU,L, to his honour, was not to be put down or abashed by the coldness or malignity of professional envy. He felt assured in his soul, that the discovery which he had made r THE SUN, LON DON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1842. would benefit mankind, and he went on rejoicing in the spontaneous gratitude of those whom his skill relieved, and his unbought practice made whole and happy„ Having relieved thousands and tens of thousands in the Metropolis, he made a tour to Paris—exciting the wonder' and admiration of the faculty in a strange land. Subsequently he went to S.otland, and visited Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, &c., in all which places he made unwilling, because interested converts to the simplicity and efficacy ofhis happy discovery. If " seeing is believing "—hearing is not less convincing; for those who but a few minutes before were dull to the sweet magic of sound, almost instantaneously started up, and marvelled that a new sense was added to their existence. Those who came doubtingly. departed is thankfulness and sincere joy—and many who came to scoff, at the hopeful certainty of Dr. TURNBULL'S failure, remained to ponder, and finally believe. This is the true triumph of mind over matter—the test of genius and of skill. It was under the impression of this previous doubt and subsequent conviction, that the Messrs. CHAMBERS laboured, and have since acted so nobly, by the generous recantation of their error. They have done more—they have endeavoured to repair the damage done by applying a prompt and cordial antidote — thereby proving that genuine merit is not ashamed to avow its error. Honour to such men 1 They well deserve the homage which a discerning public awards to their literary labours. Dr. TURNBULL has now, we are happy to learn, returned to London to resume his pro fessional practice, and we heartily wish him all the success he so amply deserves. The Paris Journals continue to discuss the right of search, under the milder name of " visitation," set up by Lords PALMERSTON and ABERDEEN in the case of American vessels trading on the coast of Africa. They unani mously espouse the side of the Americans, and contend that no such " visitation" can be esta blished without the voluntary consent of the Washington Cabinet. We yesterday published the substance of an article which appeared in the National of Saturday upon this question, and we this day present our readers with the re marks of the Royalist Quotidienne upon it. From the prevailing tone of the French papers, it is quite clear that were we so mad as to go to war with the United States to enforce a right of search, France would be one of the very first Powers to declare against us : " It is for the third time since 1830 that the French Government cedes, to the pressing instances of England, the right of mutual search, under the pretext of putting an end to the abominable Slave-trade. The first conven tion was made the 30th November, 1831 ; the second, the 22d March, 1833 ; and the third one in 1841. "The stipulations of this last treaty are not exactly known. It is said that in it the Slave-trade is declared a piracy, and that, consequently, the vessels engaged in it which may be seized are to be adjudged by the tribunals of the several ports to which • they may he taken. But, without searching into the mysteries of the convention concluded by M. Guizot, let us examine into the disposi tion of preceding engagements. " The right of mutual search could, according to them, be exercised along the western coast of Africa, from Grea Cape to the Ist degree of south latitude, and the 30th west longitude. 2d. All round the island of Mada gascar. And 3d. within a given radius of Cuba, Porto Rico, and Brazil. It results from these regulations that the English cruisers have a right of search over at least three-fourths of our merchant shipping ; because they are established near our colonies in Guiana, in the An tilles, Senegal, and Bourbon—that is to say that English cruisers can examine at all times the state of our com merce on these stations. " By an article evidently constructed for the advantage of Great Britain, it is stipulated that the right of search cannot be limited to any given number of vessels of either nation. This condition renders ridiculous the stipulations of reciprocity. It is clear that henceforth the police of the ocean is in the hands of the nation which owns most cruisers ; and one can count on the tenacity, inborn in the English, for their drawing all the advantages possible from this police. " France has for some time past begun to under stand the true motive which influences England under its_affected zeal for the suppression of the slave trade. In 1822 M. de Chateaubriand explained their views. Ile said It is because England, which possesses India, the Cape of Good Hope, the Isle of France, the Canadas, and the Mediterranean isles, has no need of Dominica and the Bermudas for its shipping or sailors, that we are to abandon Bourbon, Cayenne, Martinique, and Guadaloupe.' Now it is no longer because England does not want its Antilles that it seeks to immo late our maritime power, but because that it is neces sary for it in her immense Indian establishments to have the monopoly of colonial produce. For fifteen years the manufacturing industry of Ilindostan has been completely sacrificed for the advantage of England, but England has drawn from India in return for her madufactures an im mense and an increasing supply of tea, indigo, sugar, opium, &c. ; so that in 1839 the exportation of Bengal sugar alone amounted to ninety millions of kilogrammes. " All the efforts of the British Government are there fore directed to secure the markets for this ever-increas ing production of Hindostan ; and it is easily seen that in the war with China she is not scrupulous much about the means, nor impeded by whatever obstacles may pre sent themselves. " The French Ministers, since 1830, have assisted Eng land with a complaisance which amounts almost to treason. They abandoned, by the convention of 1831, this ancient rule of our existence, that the flag pro tects the merchandise.' We forced the rest of Europe to follow our example, and now it is the Navigation Act of Cromwell which has become the law of nations. " Then France is no longer at the head of that great European league which shed so much blood for the liberty of the seas. She is no longer the safeguard of neutrals—the protector of the weak. She follows mo destly in the wake of Great Britain, in company with Denmark and Sweden. "It is now the American Union which protects the secondary powers that France and K Guizot will not defend ; and at the side of the Union is seen Spain— Spain broken to pieces by revolutions, but in which apparently lives the remembrance of its glory and former dominion. " Never was a more fatal blow struck against the influ ence, dignity, and honour of our country. The right of search constitutes foy the advantage of England a vast sovereignty over the seas, of which France is merely the humble vassaL" The Journal des Debats has an article prais ing the Court of Peers for the justice and firm ness it displayed during the trial of QUENISSET and his accomplices. It is plain from this, that the KING has some other dirty job to bring be fore the Peers. One of the darling schemes of the KING is always to ruin his tools in public estimation by converting them to the basest uses. It is his pride to have no public man in France with an undamaged reputation. Bad as his own political character is, he may safely boast that it would be very difficult in France to contrast it with a better. From Madrid the latest accounts are of the 2d inst. M. SALVANDy was still there, but had. not delivered his passports. The Spaniards were taking the affair quite coolly, and appeared proud of the firmness exhibited by the Regent. The Bulletin of the Laws publishes the ratification of the treaty of the 13th of July. The same Bulletin contains the ordinance which raises the Bishopric of Cambray to the rank of an Arch bishopric, followed by the bull on the subject in Latin, and the French translation opposite. The Committee of the Chainber of Deputies for draw ing up the address has adjourned till to-morrow, in or der to hear again the Minister of War and the Minister of Marine. It is possible that it will immediately after wardsb t e h r s e o f paperst eC a o e m d m d i t: e e e e m a e r n e choose it s re p or t er . i n d rr i N h i e d u m a el lmytstoftetrxtaiinishi e n d e to-day thed a y• Minister fur Foreign Affairs. This morning M. de Batenieff, in his official costume, paid his visits to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the principle members of the diplomatic body. We find the following statement in the Journal de la ,Manche We are assured that Admiral Baudin, dis satisfied at not being able to depart with the troops that were promised him, has asked the King to give the com mand to another officer. He expects his successor, who is Admiral Baron Mackau. " The day before yesterday, the Superior Officer of Engineers, who was to embark in La Gloire, set out post for Paris, probably to inquire into the reasons of the change in the opinion of the Ministry relative to the affair of La Plata. " Admiral Baudin has quitted the Hotel d'Angleterre with his family, to reside in a private house. " The trooPs embarked on board La Gloire frigate will be landed (for the present) on Monday. The ma rines will be placed in the barracks, and the 50 engi neers will be quartered in the town, in the houses of the citizens.—ConstitutionneL ISLAND or AMOY.-Mr. Wyid, of Charing cross, has published a beautiful little chart of Amoy and the numerous islands in its vicinity. It appears from the soundings given that the ap proach to Amoy and the channel between it and Igo-long-soo are commodious and fit for vessels of any size, the depth varying from nine to thir teen fathoms. The chart is accompanied by lists of the British vessels engaged, and the number of guns found on the different Chinese batteries. Dr. Turnbull, who has been on a tour in the north, and successfully curing and converting many un believers in his discoveries (as will be seen by an extract in this day's paper), has returned to his residence in Russell-Square. SUMMARYOF NEWS AND " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The right of search, which now agitates the Govern ments of England and the United States, excites the liveliest interest in Paris. All the Liberal and some of the Legitimist Journals are opposed to the claims of England. Notwithstanding the treaty of the Five Powers, public opinion in France is decidedly opposed to our pre tensions; which are ascribed not to humanity but to selfishness, . The National of Sunday, announces that Bourdon, a political prisoner in the fortress of St. Michel, had be come insane. This is the third of those unfortunate men who, in the short space of fifteen months, have gone mad, which, with one suicide, speaks strongly on the huma nity and justice of the cellular system. The Minister of War had addressed a circular to all the Colonels of regiments of infantry, to inform them of the resolution of the Government to suppress a com pany per battalion. The Minister invites them, in the meantime, to discharge the non-commissioned officers of the class of 1835 who might wish to quit the service, and offer them situations in Algeria. Thoilite . iiiity of the cold was increasing in Paris on Sunday. The Seine was nearly covered over with float ing ice, and %% Ould, it was expected, should the frost continue, be completely frozen over in forty-. ight hours more. The thermometer marked 9 degree below zero en Friday night. On Saturday night it was lower. At nine o'clock on Sunday forenoon the temperature was still so low as 18 degrees of Fahrenheit (or 14 below the freezing point). Letters from Lisbon of the 3d inst. announce the open ing of the Cortes, by Commission, on the previous day. A prorogation to the 21st of February instantly followed. The Portuguese Government has negotiated a loan of 1,600,0001. sterling at 5 per cent., with the Company of National Credit. For the details we refer to the Lisbon correspondence in another part of The Sun. The Prince de Joinville had left Lisbon for Toulon. _ _ _ PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Herald returns to the question of the Rural Police system, which it condemns in the most decided terms ; and asks whether its advocates consider that they improve the character of the rural population by a needless exhibition of suspicious vigilance and penal rigour, especially directed against the most paltry or the most pardonable of offences. Our Contemporary adds that the effect of this notable scheme is merely to enable -a few sages in the Commission to commit some unlucky charity-boy or other, who may have been un able to repress his passion for a turnip or a Scotch kale. The Times discourses in very dismal tones on the prospects of the Tories at the approaching Dublin elec tion, and warns them that if by any apathy they allow Lord Morpeth to be returned for that city, they will in jure only their own interests. " Desirable as it is," says the Times, " that the Irish metropolis should be consti tutionally represented in Parliament, the prospective withtlrawment of a single vote, howmuchsoever such a contingency might have alarmed a weak and worthless Ministry like Lord Melbourne's, will be regarded by the present Government with supreme indifferen6e." The Post conta'ns an article on the manufacturing sys tem, in which its observes—" It is not enough to say that the trade of the manufacturing towns requires to be in creased. We ask why ? Where is the necessity ? Where is the benefit to be derived ? It may at on c e be answered that it is required, in order to allow the owners of certain large establishments to make as much money as they did formerly. But we see no force in this, un less it can he shown that the process by which so much money was made, was good for the people." The Chronicle reads a salutary lecture to Sir James Graham on the subject of his gross apostacy, and goes through the history of his countless tergiversations With an accuracy better calculated to edify than to entertain the Right Hon. heavy-headed Baronet. The Advertiser remarks, in an article commenting on the conduct of the Church to the Dissenters—" The aris tocratic State-Church despises the lowly Dissenter ; Why does she not despise his pence, as well as his per son ? There would, in that case, be at least consistency in her scorn ; at present, there is none." IWO NEY—TILADa---C ccinnEacz• The commercial distress at Dundee may be judged of from the fact, that during the last five years there have been 400 bankruptcies among the merchants and manu facturers of that town. At a meeting of the London confectioners, held on Mon day in Aldersgate-street, for the purpose of appointing a deputation to wait on the Chancellor of the Exche quer, and represent the vast decrease of the lozenge and drop manufactures in the Channel Islands, it was shown that the present state of the sugar tariff had injured it to a dreadful extent. Previous to 1839 the enormous quan tity of from 10,000 to 15,000 tons of sugar were annually used in confectionary articles. The present decrease in the revenue on this score is between 200,0001. and 300,0001. a-year. The trade at Stirling remains in a most discouraging state : not less than three . failures of houses connected with the woollen trade have taken place within the last few days. COMMERCIAL REFORM. At an Anti-Corn-law meeting of the Deputies held on Thursday at Dundee, the Rev. Mr. Low, speaking upon the outcry raised against the poorer classes for non-at tendance on Divine serviee,,sivtd, ".Talk of people going to 'churches t why, how can they ? The last blush of virtuous shame has not yet fled from the cheek of the poor man, although the last rag of his once church-going coat has nigh Bed from his bac." PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. At a meeting of the Governor of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum on Monday, at the London Tavern, it appeared that I,Boo.children had been so instructed in it, as to be rescued from being burdensome to themselves or country. .36 - CCLESIASTXCAL. The principles of Puseyism, with which it is known that many of the clergy around Birmingham are deeply tainted, have manifested themselves openly in the case of an incumbent of one of the churches there, who has introduced a gilt cross over the communion table, before which the Reverend Gentleman bows and bends his knee according to the canons of the Catholic Church. I;if.,IsCTIONEER.rNG. The Liberals are on the move at West Cornwall. The Tories are drawing up a requisiti on to Si r R . V yvyan, Bart., the present Member for Helston, to become their candidate. NAVAL AND MILITARY. The Ordnance-office - has just addressed a circular to the head-quarters at Woolwich, and all departments of the Ordnance service, stating that " if the witness who first saw the light in the .Tower of London had given an immediate alarm, the disastrous result might probably have been prevented," and ends in directing all persons resident in the Tower and garrisons of the kingdom to give instantaneous notice, in case of the most trivial ap pearance of light or fire within them. LAW AND POLICE. At the Sheriff's Court, on Monday, Mr. Theodore Hook's affairs were brought before the Bench. That author's defalcations in 1831, while employed by Govern ment in the Mauritius, to the amount of 12,6001.; . have occasioned the Crown to put in its claim upon the pro perty left at his death, and to supersede by right of pri ority a claim made by Mr. Edwards to the amount of 4,000/. The matter was left to be contested in the Court of Exchequer. At Guildhall on Monday, James Roberts was convicted of smuggling 91bs. of tobacco, and ordered to pay a fine of 1001., and be imprisoned until the fine was paid. A Mr. William Heath, of Lower Southampton-street, was held to bail at Marylebone Police Court, for his ap pearance at the Sessions, on a charge of "having thrust his fist into the face of Dr. Crok er , an d th reatene d to knock his d—d Irish head off." The Doctor himself, about a fortnight ago, was held to bail in the amount of 2001. to keep the peace towards Mr. Heath. At the same Court two cabmen were fined 10s. each—the one for creating a disturbance at the door of Mr. Harper, Surgeon, Edgware-road, 'and the other for being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself and his horse. .In the course of last week two men named Bragden and Smith, a woman of the name of Wright, and a Mrs. Piper, were charged at Clerkeuwell Police-court with robbing the husband of the latter of _property to the value of 251. Mrs. Piper, it appeared, had left the house of her husband with the prisoner Bragden, and had been in strumental in causing the 'property to be removed. She had afterwards returned to her home, where she remained with the consent of her husband,' and after a short hear ing the Magistrate discharged her and the prisoner Wright. Yesterday Mr. Piper expressed his 'determina tion to prosecute the other prisoners, and they were accordingly committed for trial. This being the first day of Hilary- Term, most of the Judges and Leading Counsel breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor at his house in George-street, Hanover-square, and afterwards proceeded to their respective Courts. LITERARY AND scrzuvrrzc. Among the extraordinary cures performed on deaf mutes by Dr. Turnbull, recently, was that of a patient, who, by the process adopted, recovered both heari ng an d the sense of smell simultaneously. The case furni s h e d a proof that sound and languag are closely connected. The girl cured expressed her - discovery of the acquired sense, by holding out a rose Au her mother, and saying " her nose had spoken." THEATRICAL.

The inhabitants of Salisbury have agreed to suspend all business; and have a general holiday, when the Prince of Wales is christened.' Cimarosa, the celebrated composer, died on this day in 1801. Of his twenty-six operas, "Il Matrimonio Se greto" is the greatest favourite in England. On this day also died Linneus, the great Swedish bo tanist. A monument of porphyry was erected to his memory in Upsal cathedral, and a medal of him struck by the King's order at his death. Lady Joan Berkeley, in the reign of Henry 111., used to warm herself in the cold weather by sawing billets and sticks with a fine handsaw. Taylor, the water poet, in the reign . of Charles 1., says, " Now all their (the ladies) exercise is privately to saw billets." ODE TO THE POPE. BY A PUSEYITE POET. " Amongst other portentous opinions, Mr. William Palmer upholds most fervently the malignant doctrine of the persecution of heretics, and would think himself in no error to burn any one, if the state of society allowed it, who dares depart from the opinions of what he supposes to be the Church Catholic." —o.rford Cor respondent. The Pope is coming, Hurray I Hurray ! He was seen off Calais at noon, they say, And must now be half-seas over, And with him is coining a ghostly freight Of faggots and friars, in solemn state, To astonish the nerves of Dover ! Inquisitors, too, have been shipped by the score, And monks well versed in bigotry's lore, For 'tis said (oh, joyful sound !) That his Holiness means our eyes to greet With an Anto-da-fe; by way of a treat, On Smithfield's hallowed ground. 'Tis now 'three hundred years and odd, Since on that blest spot, by the grace of Gj'd, A Bishop was roasted whole, And 'tis time we there again should see Some fat, round Prelate done to a T, If but for the good of his soul. Conceive how Cantuar would roast, When chained to the flame-encircled post, 'Mid the mob's exulting stir ! Smooth London, too, would adorn the stake, But I think 'twould be well, for example's sake, • To begin with Exeter I So, Hurray for the Auto-da-fe ! Hurray ! And should it take place, as I hope it may, I'll bet you half-a-crown, Ere a month—perchance ere a fortnight—pass, The bells shall all ring out for mass In every British town. And every Bishop, by singular luck, Shall become an Abbot as fat as a buck, And every Vicar a Friar, And chaunt, despite his Protestant qualms, The Seven long Penitential Psalms, Thro' the nose, like Pat Maguire.* And Glo'ster's Deant, grown wise at last, Shall by forced penance, prayer, and fast, His heretic nature soften, And Sidney Smith, no hinger gay, Shall tell his beads four times a day, And scourge himself as often And sly Sir Bob, and the Tories all, Shall weekly go to confessional, And each relate the story Of his public sins ; but without avail, For shrive and shrift alike must fail, I fear, to save a Tory ! So ends my chaunt, God bless the Pope ! On him I'll rest my sunniest hope When age my spirit freezes ; Meantime, in reverence bending low, i'll joyfully kiss his pious toe, Or whatever part else he pleases ! * An Irish Catholic Priest, well known in theological con troversy. Dr. Monk, one of die staunchest opponents of the Puseyitcs MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. The public securities left off rather heavily this afternoon.

There is nothing official yet, but, from the rejoicings which have taken place, we are led • to believe it must be cor rect. Exchange was quoted 2* to 2. 15-16; doubloons, 290. Both the English and Foreign Markets opened steady without any variation, from the closing quotations of last evening, Consols for Money and the Account being now quoted at 89 to 89* ; Exchequer Bills, 18 20 ; Spa nish Active Stock 25* i; Passive, 5 s ; Deferred, 124-4-; Portuguese Five per Cents, 324 a ; ditto Three per Cents., 194 4 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 51 to 151+ ; and the Five per Cents., 100*.

The official statement of the quantity of Grain im ported into London during the quarter ending the Ist inst., shows a great increase in the arrivals of Foreign Wheat, but a falling off in the supplies of home-grown, a fact of itself that speaks at once for the necessity of imports from abroad to secure a sufficiency of food to our population. There were received, during the above-mentioned period, 49,888 quarters (f Eng lish, 113,598 quarters of Foreign, and not a single quarter of Irish wheat. Ireland, too, a country which, under proper managem: nt, might supply us so richly. The total imports, including 120 quarters, from Scotland were therefore 163,606 quarters, and in the quarter ending the 26th December, 1840, 121,965 quarters. It may be as well to state, that the re ceipts of Irish oats were very considerable, though still rather below those of the corresponding quarter in 1840. The iinports of Flour were 91,443 sacks, 23,680 barrels, the latter from' abroad. The ac counts respecting the growing crops are on the whole favourable. CLOSING PRICES. BRITISH FUNDS.

MONDAY A FTER NOON.—Another dreadful murder, induced by drunkenness, was committed on Sunday evening last, at the above place, a market town about 10 miles to the north-east of Doncaster, on an unoffend ing lad of about 13 years of age , and of deficient in tellect. About a quarter past six o'clock a journeyman shoemaker, a stranger to the town, rushed ou t of a house in King-street, and conducted himself very violently with shouting, and attempted to attack several girls and boys walking by, but they all eluded him, except a boy of the name of Pashley, the son of poor parents, whom the intoxicated ruffian desperately and suddenly stabbed in the back between the shoulder-blade bones. The poor child fell immediately, bathed in blood, and a constable secured the prisoner. Mr. Mirfin and Dr. Guy were in prompt attendance upon the sufferer, who was removed to a house near at hand. As soon as these gentle-` men inspected the wound, they expressed little hope of Pashley's recovery, and, notwithstanding every attention was paid to hiin, he died in about three hours, of internal hemorrhage. The murderer's name is Thomas Timms, but he gave his name in William Abbotts at first. He is about 29 years of age, and slender in person, married, but abandoned his wife a few years ago, since which time he has been tramping about the country. GLAMORGANSAIRE. — With the exception of Cwmbychan, Taibach, and other places, the comp l a i nts of want of employment, deficiency of the necessar i es o f life, and embarrassments in trade, form the general topics of conversation. When the capitalist has no profit, and the industrious and frugal workman has no food, it is hi g hly disheartening. Under such circumstances, it is the duty of the Council of the nation, we opine, to in quire into the causes; and as ther e i s p l enty o f corn i n o ther countries, as «ell as other articles very nourishing to sustain nature, to open the ports 'at once instead of allowing many whc , ark, both able and willing to work to pine away when there is sufficiency to be hid. This is not the language of rebels and revolutionists, but that of humanity and justice,—Silurian. . . THE CENSUS. An amended account of the population of Scotland has just been published by authority. It appears ; that the population of six counties was stated erroneously in the previous account, in consequence of the haste • with which it was prepared, in order that it might be laid as soon as possible before Parliament: The fbllowing are the counties, with the correct returns of the total number of in habitants in 1841 :—Forfar, 170,4C0 ; Nairn, 9,218 ; Orkney and Shetland, 60,796 ; Ross and Cromarty, 78,980; Roxburgh, 46,003 ; and Wigtown, 39,179. The population of Glasgow was stated incorrectly to be 257,592; whereas it. amounts to 267,463. There is a slight error alSo in the return of the population of Great Britain and the Islands in the British Seas. The correct number, including the army, navy, and mer chant-seamen on shore at the time of the Census, is 18,656,414. A MINIMUM OF WAGES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Opinion creeps slowly on, and there is nothing like giving it from time to time a fillip, by taking a new step into the region of the un moved. A little time ago you inserted for me an in quiry into what would be the result in a land lord-ridden country, of everybody (saving al ways the continuance of the landlords' tax) being taken with the determination of giving away all they had iu charity. And we came to the con clusion, that it would be of exactly the same effect, as, giving away in charity in a ship kept purposely at sea and short of water. I now want to know, in the same manner, what would be the effect of the other nostrum so amiably recommended by the monopolists, and so kindly gulped down by their gulls and. agents among the working classes ; which con sists in the manufacturing employers agreeing to give their workmen any sum it might be con venient to assign in the shape of wages ? It may be said that this would come under the Old head of charity. And so it would, if carried to the extreme of the imaginable. But if this is not secured, it seems to admit of an earlier Solution. Suppose then it was enacted, that no manufacturing employer should offer an ordinary adult male operative less than twenty shillings a-day, and others in some defined proportion; and that by the erection of a guillotine or other wise, men were made afraid to resist or evade the law. How would the matter solve itself ? Would it not be thus ? The masters would cut down their operations to such a Portion as could be carried on consistently with twenty shillings a-day to so many as were employed. And the difference, would be dismissed from employment. The immediate result, therefOre, to the working classes, would be something very like one man in six having six pounds a-week, instead of six having a pound a-piece. If the guillotine was set to work to oblige the masters to pay twenty shillings a-day to as many as chose to ask tin- it, then the question would come very near to the case where men without a guillotine were supposed to come to the reso lution of giving away all they had in charity. Heads or no heads, the thing could go on no longer than till the masters had nothing more to giver And then the scheme must end in the discovery as befime, that in a ship short of water nothing can mend the matter but going where Water is to be had. I know the nervousness of the public when they hear of guillotines; and purposely incur the evil for the sake of noting, that as in France the people, with less chance of knowledge, and therefore more excusable, tried all manner of follies in the way of making bread by blood, in our country it is the owners of the soil who set up the machine, and a cruelly blunt and slow kind of death it is from what I see of it, by which the public is to be wrought into subjec tion to the quackeries of the greatest dunces that ever ruled in an industrious nation. A member of the Chamber of Deputies con cluded every speech on every subject, with:— liberte illimitie de la presse. In addressing com mercial men and bread-eaters, it might be ex cusable in the same way to wind up every argu ment, with the one word of compensation. Yours very sincerely, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Manchester, Bth January, 1842. ALDERSGATE DISPENSARY.--On Monday a general meeting of tie governors, donors, and sub scribers, wa held in the Board-room of the Institution, Aldersgate-street ; F. B. Herring, Esq., tr easurer, i n the chair.. The Rev. E. D. Leigh, rector, Dr. Sally, Messrs. Grant, Godson, and other supporters of the charity, were present. Mr. W. H. Wood, Honorary Secre tary, read the Report of the Committee, which stated' that so increasing were the demands for medical and surgical assistance, that an assistant physician and an additional surgeon were indispensible. They, there fore, recommended that a physician and surgeon be added to the medical staff. It was unanimously adopted that the recommendation of the Committee should be acted upon. The apothecary laid upon the table the returns of the numbers who received medical and surgical advice, with medicine, during the year. From which it ap peared that 8,000 invalids had, during the year, ob tained gratuitous advice and medicine at the Dispensary, and that 1,500 had been visited at their own houses. In answer to a question, he replied that every person, with out regard to locality i upon applying at the Dispensary, obtained assistance, and that all residing within the City were, if necessary, visited at their houses. The financial report" was most satisfactory. Amongst the donors were his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. 25/. ; the Rev. R. D. Leigh, 101. ; F. B. Herring, Esq., 151. 15s. ; Sir Peter Laurie, Alderman Gibbs, Alderman Farncombe, Mr. Godson, and several other gentlemen, 101. each. MORNING SUN I ~-, i 4 I Al COURT CIRCULAR.

Two first appearances—that of Miss Lucy Bennett on the London 'atage, as Lady Townly in the celebrated ' comedy of the Provoked Husband, and of - Mr. Stuart in ' the counterpart of Lord Townly, threw out a twofald attraction at this theatre last night. Recapitulation of a plot so' familiarly known would be mere matter of sur plusage. Enough to observe, that the main vigour of the piece lies in the contrast between the distinct and diverse biasses and natures of the above two leading cha racters, and to wurk out this success fully is the great mastery of the whole. To impart a greater intensity to •, each, the lines of divergence the wider apart the better. • Mr. Stuart has based his study of Lord Townly on this principle, drawing out thereby in bolder relief- the ex - ' quisitively constructed 'character of • his gay and un thinking wife. Idolized before her marriage by crowds • of suitors and adorers, Lady Townly, as enchanting in . person as adorned with accomplishments, fancies that the . connubial state ought to endow her with such freedom cif . : ei; , carriage and action, as the hampered constraints of vir -, 4 4 ginhood could not possibly permit. With a tempera- ',; ‘ ,01 1 ; went naturally o ver fl ow i ng w i t h sunn i ness to an ex- treme, the shackles of constraint she supposes to he, ,4 broken immedi a t e l y on her alliance with Lord Townly , ~A and, aided by his wea l t h an d station, she flings herself , 4: - like a bright-winged and incautious reveller, among al l the sunshines and enticements of a-flaunty:and fashion able existence. This- attachment to the ; • world's. pomps and vanities - is -as painful to Lord : Town ly's mind, as it is unexpected. He I - had admired her retiring sweetness when unwedded, and adored the depth of fascination that dwelt in her full-gushing, but, • till then, cloistered nature ; the reverse shocks his finely' constituted spirit, and every repeated gaiety and indis cretion on the part of his wife throws spleen and dis comfiture into his heart. Lady Townly, as the pie)"' progresses, grows more and more involved in the vortex of fashionable dissipation; and -Miss' Luc); Bennett imparted a brilliancy - to her part '°' no inconsiderable 'skill. The openings of he r quarrels with Lord Townly were thrown -off with s beautiful playfulness and apologetic cleverness that re flected a fine light on the stateliness and discreet for mality assumed by Mr. Stuart. Graceful in her plume, - 1 and satinity, Miss Bennett aided th e c h arms o f h e r par ' by so voluptuous and winning an air that upbraidiiie seemed cruel from her husband's lips ; and the beholder wished to see her plunge the deeper among those pies" . i sures which made hr eyes gleam full of so super:it i natural a loveliness --infused into her lips tb .1 ? 0 , v, rich music of happine ss , an d seeme d to . .... 01 1 hilarate her form with delight and raptere. 0v,7„ 0 4 pleaStires appeared to steep her senses in a " dolce fit 9 ,'; niente" of joy and sweetness, and the cold repulsive 011 ,; : 0, 4 monitions ef her husband seemed churlish and morOslolo, levelled in denial against so gloving and sunny-tunecl., creature.

Jewels, money, dresses all gone, Lady Tos o s ly in the third act sits down before her mirror, and gaz,, e , at a face, once beaming with pulchritude, n ow fading O t line, and lineaments, and bearing the marks of harassn' en o and care. Lord Townly's reproaches now beo,t a vehement; they assume the character of i rr e co ncilabi lit y' and the last scene represents him bent-upon divor e- s This was the touch-stone of the piece : ; the passio ns of both were wound up to their topmost pitch ; in the presence of - his himself sister 'and M a nly,. li ff proceeds to pronounce severation between tose and his wife : painfully he - tasks his resolutior?; till even his manhood melts into tears. At th.a • juncture Mr. Stuart comported himself, as indeed lie ! 31 , throughout the . piece, with great and unequivocal a . bilM r : , Lady Townly hears her union virtually absolved; fait e t; ingly she shows the origin of her thoughtless condoS 4 with the beauty of a repentant Magdalene, she confe Toweri i ;', i., her fault, and acknowledges her error. The Lord To carries no steeled humanity : recurrence of his 01. 4 ' , love and homage spring back at the acknowleclf,rni ej ;, and he clasps again to his bosom, and for ever, the ht, lost and long-wayward of his heart. Mr. Stuart 1 1 ' f . doubtedly trod the boards with command and Fr i o power: ,he entered into the subtle conceptions o . it , author, and wrought them out with style and enull ei ,, tion th a t bespoke the superior actor. He P ,, , a. ,. , , served an equanimity of mode and - a ction tP. was _ continuous, and finely sustained. Of 1 , i 'l Bennett our opinion is already given : she is r : fascinating actr ess , an d will always please in ellt ra b i ters _ that require emotion and tenderness, set ou„ i beauty of form and feature.. She is rather melting t"; 16 energetic, ,but for sweet and passionate characters e , shOnldeipect her to become more th an em in en t.
