THE IVORY MODEL OF THE TAGE MUH AL, 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 ev er per h aps presented to pub lic. ' j a w. It is a copy, io ivory, of the celebrated Tage :Mahal, one of the most remarkable edifices in modern Agra, erected in 1650 by Khan Shah Allan, the fifth Great Mogul, as the cemetery of his favourite Wife, Sultana Mehd Altya. This mausoleum is built entirely of white marble, an: sonic .dea may be formal of its s7, l ,endeur, when it is stated to have cost in its erection 60 !'acs of rupees, or 75f-,000/ The Model occupies a space nine square feet, and its height is six feet. It is the nor': of Indian artists, and while in point of extent it is unmatchable, it is also one of the finest specimens of that misndeness 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 day,' but the result of many years' patient applica tion. All the multitudinous carvings and inlayings of the ori geE inal building are expressed in the copy with every appearance exattnet4 ; nor is the resemblance limited to , the outside 1,10 n*: the interior is also finished in the same minute style, and contains the tombs of the Shah and his Consort, exqui -sitelY an d elaborat e ly wor k e d .

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, 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 a political 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 rev!rence for that authority of which they claim to be the possessors. These good and learned men perhaps have not jet reflected on the fact whic.'n 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 snay not avow it, that the Church, as now organised, is it 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, as 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 fur 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 n i nanges shall be made, and by whose hands. The Puseyites are extreme Conserva tives, and they demand an extensive reform ill the actual practices of the 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 pait 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 RIDLEY 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 with and family. For the same reason they praise monachism, and are inclined to re-esta blish monasteries. The Romish priesthood used many ceremouials 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 deed 4, the right of private judgment ; the Pusey ites, therefore, stigmatise Protestantisni 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 authority, 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 for making too light of the Puseyites, and we are assured that they are earnest and learned men, who will not b e snu bb ed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, There is very li tt l e nor cease their exertions till they have obtained a French Journals of Monday.

Bad as the libel law of England is, the law of France is still more monstrous. Here, the printer only is liable to prosecution, where the author withholds his name ; but in France, the responsible editor and the printer, must both be known; are both prosecuted; are very frequently both fined and imprisoned; although it is notorious, that one of them is innocent of all intentional participation in the alleged infraction of the law, the circumstance is rarely admitted in extenua tion of punishment. In England, too, the Press has other protections against the operation of a defective state of the libel law, which are rarely to be found in France. The liberty of the Press us, both by p u bli c wr it ers is better e t ethose k t i t h w o n r a e n: o o r 'i t g io their columns fur infor mation and amusement. The tone of pub lie opinion among us is healthier than in France ; and, consequently, Journals arc less liable to prosecutions arising out of caprice. A momentary, gust of public discontent scarcely affects the stability of a Cabinet in England, hence Ministers rarely exhibit that sensibility to attacks upon them which prompts the most rancorous prosecutions in France. Our Bench maintains a higher character for impar tiality, if not for legal knowledge; and our Juries are of a very different stamp from the tools of the Procureur-General, summoned not to try, but to pronounce sentence of guilt upon a Paris printer. Nevertheless the document published by the Parisi;tiaters affords interesting matter for the consideration of the Libel-law Reformers in the British Parliament. The printers of Paris seek to show - that the printer of a daily journal cannot possibly be guilty of libel within the meaning of the law, which must of course con template a knowledge of the offence, and to us it appears that in the following quotation from their declaration they have done so most suecessfully. The printers are quite right in invoking the protection of the Censor ship, should the Government refuse to amend the September taws. They must be ruined if the Chamber of Deputies does not step forward and cover them with the aegis of the Charter of 1830, so vilely trampled under foot by the Court of Peers. We now quote the substance of the Paris Printers' Anti-Libel-law Remonstrance : " All the world knows that political papers. are dited, composed, and printed during the night, that is to say, from 9 o'clock in the evening to twelve o'clock at night, and very often later. " The leading articles tire formed of remarks - of the day and the evening papers. The political articles are never composed sooner ; very often they are only made upon the ensan6le of the other articles of the paper, and are, consequently, only drawn up very late in the night. They are cut up into slips and thus put into the hands of a great number of workmen who compose them without following the sense, and consequently in ignorance of what the articles contain. When thus composed, they are read by a number of Correctors, who are, like the compositors, without knowing what is the sense of the whole ; these correctors, moreover, de pend almost entirely upon the administration of the pa per which pays them. These fragments of articles are collected together, and when each is put in its place the paper is ready, and is put to press as quickly as possible the different copies are taken as quickly as printed oil by the folders, who place them under wrappers, and hand them over to the porters and distributors. All this is done in a few hours ; all the persons are most actively employed, and without a moment's cessation, and without having an instant for reflection. " We ask, now, if it be possible in this pele-mele of activity for a master printer, supposing him present at every one of the numerous actions constituting the printing of a newspaper, to examine, weigh, and criticise all the articles which are to form a part of it, when two or three correctors scarcely suffice to read as quickly as possible what is produced by a certain number of com positors ? " Supposing even that by the utmost activity and wonderful facility he were able to read the whole paper, how find time to exercise his judgment sufficiently to declare that such an article contained an offence, that such another contained none ? It would be necessary for him to possess an infallibility which is not to be found even in maturely deliberating Courts of Justice. " Admitting, however, even this infallibility of judg ing, a still morn serious question arises. All papers which have given a security have entered into stipulated arrangements with their printer, so that if a printer al? lowed a paper to be behind hand in appearing in the morning, he would be considered as having occasioned a very consideraale injury to the paper as property, and would be liable to an action for damages, proportionate to the injury done to the paper by the delay he has oc casioned. This has already taken place, and the Court of Commerce has given a verdict against the printer im plicated. " What then is the printer to do? Either he must re fuse to print the paper, because it contains an article the nature of which appears to him to be dangerous, and his whole fortune is exposed to be paid away in damages, awarded to the paper by the Court of Commerce ; or he prints the paper, the dangerous article is declared guilty of a political offence, and he is ruined for having printed it against his will. " If such be the position of a printer, who undertakes the printing of a paper, what is that of a printer whose whole establishment is employed in nothing but this species of printing ? There are certain printers in Paris who have undertaken from eight to ten papers every day. Are they to possess a representative for every paper ? But, if so, the difficulty is only augmented, the fiction of responsibility is extended, and the chances of infallibility diminished still more. This responsibility required of the printers with regard to the editing of newspapers is a material impossibility. " Moreover, the authority of the Government upon which the law confers the right of granting to breveted printers suppl ementary permissions for political papers seems to have laid down its arms in favour of them. In fact, one papers printed in the quarter of the town of the Chaussee d'Antin, and be who signs as printer lives in a very remote quarter; another is at an equally long distance from its tutelary printer. How can it be pcs sible, then, for these printers to carry on a rigorous sur veillance which the accusations now brought against printers would seem to require? It is impossible. " These difficulties, or rather these impossibilities, have been comprehended by all the Courts who have had to give judgment on similar questions; the printer has always been put out of the question. " If the laws upon the responsibility of papers, and their demands in all that regards the responsible editors —if the - guarantee of the caution money be not sufficient, let the Chambers be called upon to decide the matter ; but let it never be that printers, who in fact, especially in what concerns Newspapers, are only veritable work men, passive, deprived of all influence, of all power, of every capability of reasoning or dispute, are to be made Government agents, with all the disadvantages of a com mercial position constantly in opposition to itself. " The establishment of the censorship would be a thousand times preferable. U n d er t h e censorship at least if the p r i n t er be only a passive and unintelligent in strument, his fortune, his trade, his daily bread, as well as that of his family and that of his numerous workmen, are not exposed to the evil chances of a political error or the right u n d erstan di ng o f a wor d." , La, elf* • r < 3 ;;. r4 a - Air .4" 6 .

The Morning 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 arc 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 come into work. If Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL remain, he must ply with the new movement, which has broken off his fellow, am.l 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 LordAsn 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 qnestions of trifling detail? Such men can never form an Administration to last six mouths, 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, as five months ago he 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 flirrners'friend, and being driven by the circumstances of the coun try, and the remonstrances of an irritated and , starving people, should extend his proposed I.e. lief; the friendship of the Duke of BUCKUYCHAM 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, bid the whole proceeding will damage the character of the Ca binet, and diminish the confidence of all rational men. From the time bf the Tories entering office, the Comlaw 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 lasted eight or ten days. What is the legiti mate inference - ,from all these facts? Why, that the Cabinet has been unable to agree, after six months' deliberation, on any measure either of finance or 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 BucKiN6Ham 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 more fitvourable 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 ❑et 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 representative 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 the Cabinet has done nothing, however active the heads of departments mayhave been; its first act is the Speech from the Throne, and, in preparing that, the machine has ruptured an in/portant 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- nnes. The voice of the people in a righteous cause will be found more powerful than an jai. (pitons faction, however numerous. Terror will soon penetrate into the hearts of the unjust spoilers, and pervade their ranks. It is only ne cessary for the men, who are hearty in the good cause, to press the yielding foe, and the only cry we shall soon hear from him will be " Saure qui pent." To-morrow only let the people show themselves worthy of liberty, and they shall Ibr ever be free. Proceeding on that rational philosophy which had its birth-place in England, to which we al luded on Monday, we propose briefly to inquire on what facts, past, present, or future, Puseyisin rests, and is offered to mankind as a means of making them better, wiser, and happier. To us it appears to rest more on a negation of external facts, and on the ambitious internal desires of a few men, than on any positive and ce r t a i n trut h s. About ten or twelve years ago, the Puseyites began to creep into notice, which places their origin coeval with a great political movement.. In 1 830, the throne of the elder BourtnoNs was overturned, and that of Louis PHILIPPE erected. Belgium was separated from Holland, and P o . I land made an attempt to break her chains. In England the Whigs were carried into office on 4:BRUARY 2, 1842. one's adversaries, one's political enemies,"—G,lzette de France. BOURSR-3 3 ARIS I MONDAY, JAN, Al.

This pro posed law will create a great ferment, not only in Spain, but at Rome. Mr. MACAULAY, Mr. SHIEL, and the other dashing literateurs 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, dttriiig 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 alight 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 distnisF_el, 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. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY. - - - Her Majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert, and at tended by a rittnicrous suite, arrived at Buckingham Palace at a quarter to two o'clock this afternoon, from Windsor Castle, to. be present at the Cabinet Council held to-day. The Royal party was escorted by a troop of Prince Albert's Own. On her Majesty entering the Palace the Royal standard was displayed on the top of the marble arch. Crowds of well dressed persons, and a number of fashionables in their carriages, lined the drive in Hyde Park and both sides of Constitution Hill, by whom her Majesty was most enthusiastically cheered as the Royal cortege passed along. A Privy Council was held soon after two o'clock to arrange the Royal Speech, on opening Parliament to- - morrow in person and to prick the list for Sheriffs f or the different English counties for the present year. His Majesty, the King of Priissia, paid a visit to the Thames Tunnel early this morning, passing down the river in . a steam-boat, to view the City from the river. At.the time his Majesty was on his passage, the weather pro ve d. un f avoura bl e , as th e morn i ng con tinued foggy. Afterwards his Majesty proceeded to visit several national and public buildings in the City. RESIGNATION OF MR. BAIL BRIDGE. (Fnom A CORRESPONDENT.)

Russia and Irsenee are . again, it seems, reVafteiled. The Augsburg Gazette announces what is tantamount so this after a very round-abotit fashion. It states that a letter from Berlin makes known that a letter from St. Petersburgh stated that the Emperor had invited all the members of the French Embassy to a ball, to dance away the recollection of Royal and Imperial feuds, which in vitation was, of course, accepted. Thus the peace of Europe has been happily consolidated by a gallopade. The Paris Journals continue to dwell upon the result of the division upon the Address. The Constitutionnel, M. Thiers' paper, says—" Never, except at the time sof the coalition, was there so feeble a majority under simi lar circumstances, and yet upon almost every point Ministers, during the discussion, made concessions in their avowed policy, and on one point, of the most serious importance, viz. the right of` search, an amendment was carried, which in some degree engages the responsibility of the Cabinet, in the event of the treaty being ratified. The adoption of this amendment induced a certain num ber of persons to vote for the address, who would other wise have voted against it, and Ministers, in order to render the Chamber more favourable, disavowed the hos tility against the public press and the institution of the Jury which has been imputed to them, and yet their majority small." The Courrier Francais has the following :—" Notwith standing this pretended majority of 84, the Ministry has received its death-blow. It may drag on for some tune longer, but it cannot live. It will net venture to dissolve the Chamber, for it knows that the new elections would give us an immensemajority. It will not have recourse to a general election, because it has no claim to public respect or confidence." The National' takes precisely the same view of the perplexed state of the Cabinet:—"lf it be considered that it was not understood by anybody that the adoption of the address was to be made a Cabinet question, and that many Deputies were ,unwilling, by rejecting it, to pronounce themselves the dissolution of the Chamber, it will be seen that the minority of-156 is a formal con demnation of the policy of Ministers, and an evident symptom that their ruin is at hand." The Correspon.cal of Madrid states that an ordon nanee was issued on the 12th in s t an t, gran ti ng a pens i on to the two daughters of Brigadier Diego Leon, equal to the pay of their father as Lieut.-Colonel of Lancers. The dowry of the Princess Sophia of Orange, the future bride of the Hereditary Duke of Saxe Weimar, is said tObe 3;000,000 florins in cash, or 7,500,000 f. The Greek Government has published a circular, ad dreSsed by the Minister of the Interior to the governors and sub-governors, cautioning them against putting any faith in the reports of an approaching rupture between Greece and the Ottoman Porte. A letter from Vienna on the same subject says—" The accounts from Athens are most satisfactory. The Greek Government has definitely placed at the disposal of the Porte the sum necessary to pay the indemnities due to Ottoman subjects who possessed lands within the terri tory of Greece, and which have been expropriated." PUBLIC OPINION. The Times has a leading article on the subject of a statement made by a Contemporary, to the effect that the Bishops are about to hold a meeting for the purpose of taking into th e i r cons id erat i o n the doctrines of the Tracts for the Times. In this article the Times says— " We are not aware that there is any mode, according to the constitution of the Church of England, by which the Bishops can pronounce a binding or effectual decision upon any controverted theological question, except through the medium of Convocation, in which the con currence of the lower orders of clergy is necessary to their acts ; and as Convocation will meet on Thursday next, it will then be known whether they do or do not intend to address the Queen for leave to proceed to such deliberations as those contemplated by our Contempo rary. We see no reason to believe it." The. Advertiser ridicules the idea that the Duke of Buckingham will support Sir Robert Peel in all the rest of his political measures, with the single exception of the Corn-laws, which, adds the Advertiser, "is something like accommodating a ma:s. with the loan of a hundred pounds at twenty per cent., only deducting the amount of five years' interest. The whole existence of the Tory Ministry depends on its conduct with regard to the Corn. law question, and ou this the Duke of Buckingham will .be the inveterate opponent of Sir Robert Peel, who it is, nev, rtliC.!es, said will not upon general me a s ures h ave t o We look upon this first encounter hi? be t i a tu e l t , : i .l o h° 47 e . end' of the Conservative split as the Cabinet." !:.- . observations on the The Herald makes the follO7 a -g It regulation of the issues of th e Ba r i , 1 : - o.f .England :—" appears from the late returns, th a t s in c e July last the Bank of England has increased its bullion by while it has decreased its issues 1,683,0001., makin i : Its circulation upwards of 2,000,0001. less than it ought to be, according to its own rule. The general effect of this proceeding on the part of the Bank is, to maintain that scarcity of money in London, by which the._ commerce of the country has been so long kept in a state of embar rassment, and at the same time to contract the circula ti,o.n of-the country generally, and thereby to depress the : price of corn ; for it must be observed that the price is lower now, after a deficient harvest and a limited foreign `supply, than it was last year, after a better harvest and a very extensive foreign supply—a state of things which Can only be accounted for by this inconsistent proceeding of the Bank of England." The Chronicle is of opinion that on the downfal of Toryism alone can that superstructure be raised which shall give permanent security to the principles of reform, and increasing, prosperity to our manufacturing turd commercial industry. Our contemporary goes on to observe :—" The shabby half-measures which Sir Robert Peel may bring forward as the price of maintaining him self in office, are still a homage to sound principles, and must sap the foundations of Toryism, which rest on ignorance and prejudices. But his is not the hand that can bring back prosperity to our shores, by measures cii!fmlated to afford to every branch of industry —agri cultural, commercial, and manufacturing —d ue protect i on and equ ~ 3" —lit of rights, and to diffuse s a ti s f act i on and I ghout the land." tranquillity tni..2"- The Dublin Pilot vse7es, in an article on th e su bj ect of exclusive dealing : „ 5,.. ever Eman c ip a ti on passed, the Tory—the Orange party oh.

"We quote the following froni the Brighton Guardian : Saxony and Prussia are underselling us in the United :es, the United States are underselling us in China in our own colonies. The northern parts of Europe are under-selling us as ship-carriers ; nay, they are be ginning to carry for us.

The Tyne Mercury says :—" The d eman d f or fore i gi: corn would produce a rise abroad, and as trade increased, prices would equalise themselves, while the labourer would get better wages, and the farmer would have a more lasting and more profitable market, even if corn was really considerably cheaper —or from the sale of our manufactures abroad we would say, whether it was cheaper Or dearer."
