THE IVORY MODEL OF THE TAGE MUHAL, 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 Togo Muhal, 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 Abp. This mausoleum is built entirely of white marble, and some .dea may be formed of its splendour, when it is stated to have cost in its erection 60 lace of rupees, or 75(..,0001 The Model occupies a spice 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 hasty pro duct of a day,' but the result of many years' patient applica tion. All the multitudinous carvings and inlaying* of the ori ginal building are expressed he 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 farms one of the most interesting exhibitions in the metropolis. "—Morn. Chron. Is. Book, 6d. Open from Ten to Six o'clock.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. Morning 9 minutes after 1. 1 Evening 37 m in u t es a ft er I. 14,-„ • . • litt ,mauls LONDON WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1842, w e published yesterday in our First Edition, a full account, extending to several columns, of the splen did c eremonies which too Christening Wind sor on the oc casion of the Christening of the Prince of WALES, and though our report was not sent off from Windsor till after two o'clock, The Sun, containing al l the particulars, was distri buted over the metropolis in less than three hours after her MAJESTY and her guests had left the Chapel. We mention not this for the PirPose of self-praise (though The Sun was the only paper which gave, in the First E dition, an account of the proceedings) b u t chiefly to point out the facilitie s an d advantages caused by the invention of railroads. Formerly the Journey from Windsor to London was accomplished by the ordinary conveyances in three hours; now it is accomplished in three quarters of an hour by means of steam. Indetendent too of speed, there is almost no limit to the number of passengers that can be conveyed. Thousands now can be conveyed with nearly the same facility as tens, and, if due caution be observed, with infinitely more safety than in former times. The events of yesterday placed these facts in a striking light, for among the vast crowd that flocked by railway to wit ness the ceremony, we believe not one accident occurred. The event altogether passed off most auspiciously, and we trust this circumstance will be an omen of good to the Illustrious Infant—the Heir Apparent to the Throne— and to the country which, under the bless ing of PROVIDENCE, he is destined to govern. It was gratifying, considering the distress which prevails, to see the affection evinced by the people to the reigning family. Everywhere marks of respect were exhibited in the metropo lis, and all accounts from the provinces agree in announcing the same loyal, demonstrations throughout the United Kingdom. There is but one cause of regret. The name given to the Prince of WALES is, we may say, universally objectionable. All expected that he would have been christened by the name of his grandfather, rendered so illustrious in English annals by the deeds of the EDWARDS, and the public will not be satisfied till assurance is given that when he mounts the throne he shall have the title of EDWARD VII. The Christening of the Prince of WALES, henceforth ALBERT EDWARD, is a national event. It will be recorded in all our books, and be the theme of comment hereafter. It is an epoch in the life of one of those beings whose biography is the history of nations. Accordingly, it has for some days excited, and will, for some time to come, excite the interest of the public. If the ceremony were merely to give a name to a child, it might be appropriately inscribed in the parish register, and, for dignity's sake, he might have a page to himself. It is much more than this. Christian names were, we believe, first given to converted Heathens; they were the marks of the admission of barbarians into a more civilized and advanced community; and their sponsors, like the witnesses with which our remote ancestors were wont to be prepared to repel accusations, were those who pledged themselves for the continuance of the Pagan in Christianity. But whether such be its origin or not, it is appropriately described at present as the admis sion of a child, or a Heathen, into the community of Christians. The great importance of yester day's ceremony to the people springs from the fact that the young Prince is by it enrolled un der the banners of CHRIST, and is to be guided in all his actions towards the people by Christian morality. Christianity has accompanied civilisation in its progress, and is endeared to mankind as the sign of humanity ; and to make the Prince of WALES a Christian is to vow for him a life of mercy, love, and justice. Under such an aspect we certainly could have wished that the ceremony had been performed by other agents than the clergy of the Stat e Church. If they are the successors of the Apostles, their lives are totally at variance with the moral precepts of the Gospel. The Standard has lately informed the world that no faith can be placed in two-thirds .of them. Oxford nio- rality is, in fact, a bye-word. A more selfish, worldly set of men—a set of men more un- Christian in their greediness, more intent on preserving power and dominion, to the injury of the community, more opposed to its moral im provement, does not exist ; and after-ages may regret that the Prince had not been introduced into the Christian community under more fa vourable auspices. The clergy of the State Church, we cannot forget, make it the first duty of the Prince to preserve their power and property, and use Christianity for their own aggrandisement. It would seem as if they lay hands on him to make him the instrument of priestcraft. Unfortu nately for the community, his christening makes him a sectarian, and separates the infant, who, till now, was united to the whole family of the nation, from the majority of the people. When he comes to the Throne he will reign over Christians of many denominations, and the clergy will try, henceforward, to make him exclusively the member of one sect, to narrow his heart and fill it with jealousy of those who do not profess his limited creed. We are not, at the same time, aware of any means, according to custom and precedent, by which all the denominations of Christians in the empire could have been made participators in the ceremony. The invention of those means is the business of sagacious and far-seeing states men. If they are always to follow routine, of what use are those high and commanding facul- ties with which they are said to be endowed? Any well-dressed mutes, to walk in procession, would answer that end as well as men of great talents. Statesmen are to make precedents suit able to the wants of the age. The Sovereigns of England ought no longer to be sectarians, and their Ministers should devise means for making all the ceremonies of State conform to the new character which the Monarchs have been com pelled to assume since 1829. Some Tory writers, in their zeal to uphold the Corn-laws, object to the exertions which are continually made to lessen the cost of producing commodities. They overflow with tirades against cheapness. They are desirous of keeping at the highest the trouble and difficulty of clothing and feeding the people. They may be right in this view, but they are opposed to the wishes and exertions of mankind in all ages. At every perisd and in every country, men have desired to be fed and clothed by the least trouble, and to that end have thought, devised, planned, and executed. They have even com mitted many crimes to attain their object. The whole detestable scheme of slavery grew from the wish of some men to be supplied with the necessaries of life with the least possible labour. The substitution of agriculture—and the con tinual improvements made in that noble art—for hunting ; the premiums given for new discoveries and inventions, which produce more by less labour; and the modern employment and extension of powerful machinery—itself the result of a wish to abridge labour, are all speci mens of the general desire and general exertions to lessen the cost of production. If such a wide induction, though we have stated comparatively few instances, does not prove that the Tory writers alluded to are writing and wrangling for a despicable party purpose, against a law of nature, as exemplified by the continual opera tions of the mind in all stages of society, then is the use of the words " Law of Nature" alto gether, erroneous, and no such law can exist. In obedience, however, as we say, to this law of nature, and certainly in conformity to the general disposition and general struggles of man kind, the machine-makers and manufac turers, the inventors, discoverers, and pro jectors with whom our country abounds, since the first happy application of steam-power to lighten human toil, have exerted themselves most assiduously and most successfully to devise and bring into use machines for abridging labour in manufacturing clothing, instruments, and utensils, necessary or useful to man. They have succeeded so well that they have stimu lated all the other nations of the world to imitate them ; who, thereby confirming our general position, practically rendered a profound homage to that pursuit which the ignorant and factious Tories describe as pernicious. We do not say that, in the eagerness to get money, schemes have not been tried, and projects urged, which are valueless ; we do not say that no man has been too eager to promote his own interest at the expense of others; but we affirm, on the whole, that this striving and struggling to lessen the cost of production, by extending the use of ma chinery, is in accordance with a law of nature; and has been eminently honourable to our coun trymen, and beneficial to mankind at large. One necessary consequence of the continual struggle to lessen the cost of production has been a continual lowering of the price of all the goods which our manufacturers have to sell. The price of cotton twist, of calico, of cutting instruments, &c., &c., and, unfortunately, the wages of labour, as we are continually told, have fallen from 50 to :200 per cent. within a fevryears. That this hasbeen eminently beneficial in all cases, except the fall of wages, we have not the smallest doubt; but, whether beneficial or not, it is the con sequence of that general struggling after im provement in the means of production which we have described as a law of nature. The fall of wages, under these circumstances, is of much importance. We do not consider it to be the consequence of the introduction of machinery, for the effect of that is to give man kind more for less labour, and consequently to augment its rewards. It is the consequence of the mode in which, under the existing right of property, the produce of the machinery is un equally distributed amongst capitalists and labourers. The general rule for regulating wages, since the abolition of serfdom in Europe, has been what would supply the labourer and his family with the bare necessaries of life. To use the words of Mr. RICARDO, deduced from and representing the practice in Europe—not the laws of nature—" The natural price of labour is that price which is necessary to enable the labourers, one with another, to subsist, and to perpetuate their race without increase or diminu tion." That at times some classes of labourers have been successively and temporarily raised above that condition, has been the consequence of new discoveries and new inventions, which have given higher wages to those employed in carrying them out. For example, the demand for gas-fitters, cotton-spinners, &c., as gas and machine spinning came into use, caused high wages to be given in those trades, and propor tionally gave an impulse towards a rise in every department of business. The fall in wages, therefore, or in the price of labour, has not been caused, though latterly it has accompanied, the noble efforts continually made to lessen the cost of production. On the contrary, the meaning of that phrase is, that man, by less labour, gets more from nature ; and consequently a rise in natural wages, and a lessening of the cost of production have an identical meaning, or repre sent the same general fact. The real cause of the fall in wages as the cost of production has fallen, which, duly considered, is a very singular circumstance, is to be found in the laws of the land. Natural wages are all paid by produce, and food, being the most essential of all produce, influences and determines all the rest. Men must have food before they can buy muslin frills or orna mented books. All other produce must, in the last resort, be exchanged for some kind or other of food. Now, while all mankind have been struggling in their individual capacity—for even landlords have essayed to reduce the cost of agri cultultural produce —our community, in its cor porate capacity —or rather that part of it in whose hands, for our sins, is placed the scourge of legis lation—has been making and enforcing laws to keep up the cost of producing and supplying the community with food. Our manufacturers strug gle to make cotton and hardware cheap for all the world, but our statute law says that all the world in return shall not struggle to make food cheap for our cotton and hardware manufac turers. An end is thus at once put to reciprocity of exertion and exchange. The plain and pal pable consequence is, that while cotton and hard ware have become more and more abundant, and more and more cheap, the food which, in the course of nature, should be exchanged for them, to obtain which, in fact, they are manufactured, has not become more and mere abundant, and more and more cheap. The law has prohibited it by prohibiting the reciprocity of exertion. In fact, in relation to the increasing population, to which the extension of our manufactures has hitherto given employment, food, in consequence of the supply being limited and cut off by the law, has become scarcer and scarcer, and dearer and dearer. There being less and less food to be divided among an increasing number of manu facturers, their produce exchanges for less and less. They receive less food, or less money to buy it, which is the same thing, and the fall of wages is the consequence of the statute law. It interferes with the course of nature, and decrees, contrary to the struggles of mankind in all ages, that food shall not be obtained by Eng lishmen at a less and less cost of production. This is the chief, but not the sole source, of the present distress. In conformity to the law of nature, our manufacturers have striven to pro duce useful commodities at the greatest possible diminution of cost, and have been most eminently successful. In opposition to the law of nature our Legislature has decreed that food, the most indispensible of all commodities,shall not be pro duced and had here, in England, at the greatest possible diminution of cost. They have, as far as they could, thwarted the laws of nature ; there is, in consequence, little food for the increasing people—hence little wages and general suffering. There is, in consequence, comparatively little to exchange for the produce of our manufacturers; hence their lessened profits, decay, and great distress. The statute law against making food cheap and abundant is the curse of the community. Some most important considerations arise from this proof that our Legislature thwarts the laws of nature. The circumstance has often been pointed out, but the Legislature, from selfish and sinister motives, refuses to alter its unnatural statutes. That raises the question, whether men are to obey nature, benevolent and wise, or to obey their fellow men, selfish, tyrannical, and ignorant? It raises the question in the minds of the suffering millions, whether such a Legislature be not the opponent of civilization —which has its root in that desire for improvement which Corn and Provision-laws counteract—whether it be.not the antagonist of prosperity, the foe of peace, the promoter of strife, the enemy of human power, grandeur, and happiness ;.and whether it be not the duty of men to root out and destroy such a Legislature ? Do we say, raise the question ? 'We imperfectly represent the fact. Already the masses have instinctively, as the adoption of the Charter evinces, come to the conclusion that such a Legislature ought to be destroyed. It seems to them a complete nuisance which they are called upon to abate, and they lack only the power, which union can any day give them, to carry their conclusions into practical effect. We learn with satisfaction that several com tamuryniocfa t t e n A s a h t i a - v c e o r b n l e a n w r s e o c c e i i e v t e y d , r b e y c t m h m e e S n e d c irneg the inhabitants of the metropolis to avail them selves of the opportunity offered by the opening of Parliament on Thursday week, which is to be done by her MAJESTY in person, to convey to her their opinion on the subject of the Corn laws. We think the opportunity most favour able ; her MAJESTY goes in procession purposely to see her people and be seen by them; and the voices of perhaps half a million of persons would have a more thrilling and powerful effect than a whole cart-load of memorials placed before her MAJESTY by the Secretary of State on a series of bag-wigged deputations. How often do we hear it said by the poor, "I wish I could speak to her MAJESTY, I am sure she would not suffer it." On Thursday week every poor man, aye, every poor woman and child, not only of the metropolis, but of many miles round, may have an opportunity of QUEEN how she can benefit the poor. I t e t si nimpossibl ethe she can know or have heard any thing of the misery suffered by the starving people of Bolton, Stockport, Leeds, Manchester, Paisley, or her heart would bleed for their deep distress, and she would command her Tory Mi nisters, on pain of her stern displeasure, and dismissal from her 'councils, to find means to relieve it. Her MAJESTY, though she be young in years, is wise in council, and she is well aware that her throne cannot be safe if her people be . _ - THE KUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1842. distressed and discontented. Whenevor she learns that they are so, we feel confident that the monopolists will not dare to thwart her ardent desires to see her throne based on the happiness of the people. While Colonel the Earl of CARDIGAN, his courts-martial and black bottles, are still fresh in public recollection, a case has occurred in the Navy, which shows that both services are alike in the tyranny of the superiors, and the oppression of the subalterns. Mr. ELTOR was a midshipman of her Majesty's ship Cambridge. While lying off Beyrout last July, a friend of his, Mr. BAQOT CREWE REID, a gentleman of fortune, travelling-in Syria, came on board the Cambridge to visit him. By an over-sight, very common after dinner, the means of conveying Mr. REID to the shore were over looked, and at an advanced period of the evening it was discovered that no boat had been sent for him, and he was to leave Beyrout for the interior on the following morning. In this dilemma, it happened that a Captain WILLIAMS, of the Stromboli, with whom Mr. ELTON had served, was dining on board the Cambridge, and his vessel was lying between the Cambridge and the shore. Mr. ELTON ac cordingly addressed a respectful note to Cap tain WILLIAMS, requesting him to allow his boat, after putting him on board his own ship, to con vey Mr. ELTON'S friend to Beyrout. To this note Captain WILLIAMS did not deign to return an answer. Nettled at this contemptuous treatment, Mr. ELTON wrote an improper letter to Captain WILLIAMS, describing his conduct as " un courteous and ungentlernatilike," and saying that " Captain WILLIAMS screened himself un der his rank to offer an insult which he would not dare to do were Mr. ELTON not his junior officer." Mr. ELTON soon became sensible of his error, and on the first opportunity wrote a humble apology to Captain WILLIAMS. That did not suffice; he was, in November last, tried by a Court-martial at Malta, Rear-Admiral Sir JOHN Louis, President, and was found guilty of treat ing his superior officer with disrespect, and of provoking him to quarrel. He was sentenced to be dismissed the naval service, and on his arrival in England to be imprisoned six months in some one of her Majesty's gaols. Mr. ELTON was subsequently confined for twenty-five days on board the Howe, and then sent as a prisoner to Gibraltar and England. Such are the facts of the case. They suggest one or two reflections. The offence was committed by an inferior to a superior; the Court was wholly composed of superior officers, There was, at least, suspicion of partiality. The offence was brought under a vague article of war, which means whatever superiors choose to make it mean. Hence a suspicion of injustice. The punishment is severe, unusual, and most degrading; whence we infer, either that insubordination is becoming rife, or that the CARDIGAN race is multiplying in the Navy as well as the Army. Of the individuals who composed the Court-martial we know no thing; but the system which banishes a youth from the service, and sends him to gaol for such a trifling breach of discipline, which Captain WILLIAMS might have put in his pocket, and nobody would have known that it had been com mitted—which enables malice and malignity to find their gratification by the aid of the law, is thoroughly bad. This case, and that of the Earl of CARDIGAN, show that the rules and regulations of both services must be reformed, or they will breed up nothing but hideous tyrants and de crepid slaves. That most sprightly and most fascinating of Royal widowers and wooers, the youthful ER NEST of Hanover, who so very recently entombed none of the least fragile of help-mates, is re ported in the French papers to have signified his intention pf .rerinvestiog_ himself with th. silken bands of Hymen. The fair damsel whose charms have made a conquest of the susceptible heart of the " meek-eyed" Monarch of Hanover, is Princess CAROLINE of the illustrious house of Hesse-Cas sel, who, if the Royal almanacks speak true, gra ciously deigned to be born on the 23d of April, 1786. The Royal bride-elect is not, therefore what housewives would call quite a pullet, albeit sufficiently tender at fifty-six for the embraces of an amorous swain, who first saw the light on the sth of June, 1771. Upon such nuptials we leave the Royal Court chaplains to invoke a benediction. Its sanctification will be one of Heaven's greatest miracles. The French Journals have been duly received. There was a smart debate in the Chamber of De puties, on Saturday, on the right of search ques tion, which arose out ofthe following amendment, upon the fourth paragraph ofthe address, proposed by M. BILLAULT The prudence of tho Government ensures to us also that in the arrangements relative to the suppression of a guilty traffic, your Government will carefully shelter from every attack the legitimate interests of our mari time commerce, and the complete independence of our flag. The Hon. Deputy stated that-this amendment referred to the right of search claimed by Bri tish ambition, and in his opinion needlessly and foolishly guaranteed by a late Treaty. It was, he said, a fatal blow to French commerce, to the French navy, and to the national dignity of France. He was for putting down the Slave trade, but certainly not at the expense of the flag of France. He proceeded to praise the firmness of the United States Government, which he maintained would find imitators were England to presume to treat the French flag as she did that of Spain. M. GUIzOT defended the right of mutual search, in asmuch as the Slave-trade being piracy, there was no other way to put it down. M. DUPIN said that no person in the Chamber was an advo cate for the Slave-trade, but France could not, and would not submit to aright of search which it was clear would be enforced by England, with a view to promote her own interests. The discus sion, on the motion of M. BOWYER, the Royalist Deputy, was adjourned over till Monday. The French journal La Mode was seized at the post-office on Saturday. Everybody in Paris is trying to guess what keeps M. LAMARTINE SO long silent. (Last year he gave the Chamber no peace on the address about the Eastern question. This year he leaves whoever pleases to look after the Holy Land. How is this ? Even the outcry about the ap pointment of a Protestant Bishop to the See of Jerusalem does not disturb the marvellous re pose of the modern Bard of Sion. M. LAMAR TINE has been at the Tuileries once or twice this season, and marvellous, i n deed, is the o bli v i ous potency of the wines imbibed at the Royal table. We read in the report of Captain Grenot, of the GUa.ti mozin, which has arrived in the river of Bordeaux from Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, from which place he sailed on the 4th November, the following particulars:— " I left those unhappy countries more engaged in war than ever. A few days before I left Buenos Ayres the troops of Rosas, commanded by Oribes, had routed those of the provinces commanded by Lamarid. The Dictator was preparing to send his army into the territory of the Oriental Republic, in order to besiege Monte Video, and to reinstate his friend Oribes i n the post of President. There is every reason to believe that Monte Video is ac tually besieged by the Argentine army, for the French tho Th G e a would not now take arms to assist the city. " Each of the two Republics has just added another ship to its squadron, thus their relative force remains the same as before."

" Who runs may read." FOREIGN. In the course of Friday's discussion, after the Address in the French Chamber of Deputies, M. Guizot denied that the French Cabinet had made any engagement, or would enter into any pledge to disarm. It would act in that respect according to the position of France and her necessities. The Minister of Marine declared that there had been no reduction of the French naval forces. The right of search question was under discussion in the French Chamber of Deputies on Saturday. It was denounced by M. Billault, defended on the principle of reciprocity by M. Guizot, opposed by . M. Dupin and carped at 'by M. niers. The debate was finally adjourned till Monday. Enough, however, has transpired to con vince us that the right of search treaty as regards France is not, worth the parchment upon which it is engrossed. The responsible editor and printer of the Journal du Bourbonnais, a legitimist journal of Moulins, were a few days ago, brought before the Court of Assizes of the Al lier, for a libel against the King, published on the Bth in a critique on an exhibition of paintings, in which was a portrait of his Majesty in full length, presented by him to the town of Moulins. The editor was found guilty by the Jury, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and a fine of 4,000 f.. The printer was acquitted. The Moniteur contains a long report, occupying up wards of twelve columns, from the Minister of the Inte rior to the king, recommending to his Majesty's notice persons who have distinguished themselves by acts of humanity and courage caring the past year. To four of theSe persons gold medals are awarded by his Ma jesty, on the report of the Minister, and silver medals to all the rest. The Commerce publishes a lettev from Vienna, dated the 16th instant, mentioning that some alarmists had appeared at the Bourse of that city, and had succeeded in putting a stop to all business. They asserted that the Greek Government had assembled a corps of 30,000 men on the frontiers of Thessaly, and even added that hostilities had commenced. The Augsburg Gazette of the 18th instant publishes a letter from Constantinople of the 29th ult., stating that Baron de Bourqueney had a long conference with lzzet Mehemet Pacha, relative to the establishment of the new Protestant Bishop at Jerusalem. The Ambassador, it is said, complained that the King had not been con sulted. The Grand . Vizier is reported to have replied blithe most flattering terms to M. de Bourquency. The following paragraph occurs in a letter from Paris, written on Saturday last :—" Some veryamusing anecdotes are reeorded of M. de Salvandy's sayings and doings in Madrid, as well as his conversations since his return. The learned academician was- certainly' a most unfortunate choice to send to Spain. I guarantee to you the perfect accuracy of the following language uttered by the French Ambassador since his presence in Paris I have, at all events,' said M. de Salvandy, ' succeeded in uniting the two Royalist parties in Spain (Moderados and Car lists), and I have destroyed revolution in that country.' These words I am as certain that M. de Salvandy uttered as if I had heard them. There requires a key to this strange declaration,which it is not necesssayfor me to give." A Madrid letter of the 15th says that the Spanish Go vernment has formally applied for the recal of Mr. Turn bull, the British Consul at Cuba. Letters from Alexandria state that the Viceroy has ordered the Turkish uniform to be worn by all his troop. The Viceroy is also engaged in introducing new coinage into circulation, and in cultivating in other ways his own immediate interest. Baron Billing, the newly-appointed French Consul-General, has arrived at Alexandria. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times has an article on the discussion on the Address in the French Chamber of Deputies, in the course of which, alluding cursorily to the occupation of. Algiers, it observes, " in the event of a war we firmly believe that the possession of Algiers would be found to be the most onerous incumbrance to France which can possibly be imagined ; and unless the communica tions with the mother-country can be kept up, which of course demands that France should be the undisputed mistress, not only of the Balseric Isles, but of the Me diterranean Sea, we can perceive no other result to all her efforts but a capitulation as inglorious as that of the army of Egypt, cut off by the English fleet." The Post remarks, m an article filled with hyper bolical praises of Sir Robert Peel, that the people be lieve him to be independent ; and that he will take a reasonable course, according to the evidence brought be, fore him ; and that his judgment, even should it differ from their own, is likely to be a sound and a fair one. The Post then goes on to condemn the late Govern ment for its manifold inconsistencies. The Advertiser complains that, though we are within ten days of the meeting of Parliament, the public are still in utter darkness respecting the plans of Sir Robert Peel, and adds, " for our own part, we begin to doubt whether the Right Hon. Baronet knows his own plans ; we begin, in fact, to doubt whether he has any, plans at all. To promise great things, as he did at Tamworth, and do nothing, is one of the characteristics of all Quacks, whether in ordinary life, or in affairs of State." -rho-Herald, in an article suggested by the policy of France under M. Guizot and Marshal Soult, observes that the power which France seeks is the power to be mischievous, and that she waits for the events of futurity to take advantage of them. "Henceforward," says our Contemporary, " there is no party in France attached on any principle, save that of contemporaneous necessity, to the existing European settlement ; henceforward France has no intimate alliances, no firm friendships ; the treaty of July has increased her egotism, and conrmed her selfishness." Alluding to the 'Spanish question, the Chronicle states that Louis Philippe sees, as every body else does, that the Regency of Espartero would be greatly strengthened if Ministers from the three northern Powers were to come to Madrid, " and therefore will that crafty monarch pre vent them from coming. How can either Austria, or Russia, or Prussia," the Chronicle proceeds to ask, "be less monarchical than Louis Philippe—the King of the Barricades ?" _MONEY —TRADE—COMMERCE . It is stated that a Joint-stock bank, in tli south of Lancashire, is about to discontinue its business, and wind up its affairs. PUBLXO IMPR.OVEMENTS. Mr. Yates, of Liverpool, has purchased from the Ea, — rl of Sefton 43 acres,, two-thirds of which he devotes to a park at Toxteth, for the benefit of the public. PUBLIC RESOICZNOS.

ECCLESIASTICAL. The sect of the Passionists in France and Italy, who now possess fifteen houses or retreats, live in the greatest poverty and sanctity. They sleep on straw, possess everything in common, and live altogether on alms. They wear a black stuff habit, bound by a leathern girdle, awl on the left side of their mantles boar a heart embroidered in white, and a cross inscribed " Jesu Xri I'assio." XI'3C.2ICTIOTTICIEMING.

LAW AND POLICE, Bernard Cavanagh, the fasting man, was finally dis charged on Monday by the Court of Queen's Bench, Lord Dfrenina,n pronouncing the commitment to have been bad. On Monday at Queen-square four boys, the youngest nine, and the eldest thirteen years of age, were brought before the Magistrate, charged with stealing coals from the wharf of Mr. Badcock, of Chelsea. Mr. Badcock properly interposed in their favour, as they wore all of tender years ; but as some suspicion existed that they were encouraged by their parents, they were ordered to pay a fine of 20s. each. Having no money, they wore sent to prison. Six pauper girls were sentenced to various periods lof imprisonment and hard labour, for breaking the windows of %Vhitechapel workhouse and riotous conduct. The Magistrates, on passing sentence, remarked, that it would be a saving to the parish to pay a proper person to super intend and control these paupers, as it appeared the damage done by them in the present instance, was a guinea, and fbr some weeks he believed it averaged the same, so that paying a person would be a saving in the end. At several of the police-offices on Monday, various sums of money were received by the Magistrates for the relief of the poor. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. It 'is related of Alonzo Cano, the admired artist of Spain, that in his last hours, when the priest presented the crucifix.to him, he bade him take it away, because the sculpture was so badly executed, and called for a plain cross, which he embraced and expired. THEATRXCAL. The Members of the British Legation at Hanover have been getting up private theatricals at Court there, at: which his Majesty was present. O OUR T-PEELS li XONA73 LE.

At the Court of Common Council, held on Monday in the City, it was unanimously agreed to present an em blazoned .and ornamentally-Written Address to his Ma. jesty the I King of Prussia, to testify the respect of the Citizens of London. His Majesty will be waited on to know when and where he will receive it. A banquet was spoken of, i Out the expense, it is feared, will prevent it. A magni,leent ball and supper was given at Lausanne, on the 6th of January, by the English residents of that place, in honour of the birth of the Prince of Wales. Three Red Indian Chiefs arrived in this country from Canada last week, as a deputation, for endeavouring to make some fresh arrangements as to an extension of ter ritory with the British Government.

The proverbially quiet and retired little town of Windsor has for the last few days presented a scene of bustle and excitement quite refreshing to the hotel and inn keepers, who are anticipating an abundant harvest; and accommodation of every description, as may be imagined, has been at a high premium. Most of the distinguished guests of her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived at the Castle in the course of yesterday, and their suites, with the other official personages who are to take part in the ceremony, and who could not be accommodated at the Castle, have added considerably to the influx of visitors, and ren dered it still more difficult to procure bed or board. A large number of the distinguished individuals who have been honoured with invitations from the Lord Chamber lain, have been provided with apartments at Frogmore and other places in the neighbourhood, and the number to whom cards have been issued is somewhere about 300. During the night it snowed for some hours, and the roads leading to Windsor were extremely heavy, a thaw having set in about six o'clock. The unfavourable state of the weather had, we believe, the effect of consider, ably reducing the number of expected visitors, and this, added to the impossibility of seeing any great portion of the procession from the line of route selected, ren dered the external portion of the spectacle by no means no animated or brilliant as was originally anticipated. At eight o'clock the bells of the several churches commenced ringing their merry peals, and the influx, of visitors from London by the railway gave some life and animation to the previously deserted and miry streets. The Ist battalion of the Grenadier Guards, which had been marched to the Paddington station at half past five o'clock, started by the seven o'clock train, and arrived at Windsor at half past eight o'clock. This regiment has been commanded to attend upon her Majesty and the King of Prussia during the day, a s a guar d of honour. The band on entering the town struck up the enlivening air of " Jim along Josey," and the troops proceeded to the Foot barracks in that street, where they will be quartered during their stay here. A brigade of Artillery also arrived from Woolwich yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of firing Royal salutes, and assisting at the review which is in con templation. A strong body of the A division of the Metropolitan Police, under the directions of Colonel Rowan and seve ral inspectors, arrived this morning by the six o'clock train from Paddington. They were marched direct to the Castle, and were posted in its immediate vicinity. Amongst the illustrious and distinguished Visitors at the Castle are his Majesty the King of Prussia and suite, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the Duke of Sussex, Prince George o f Cambridge, the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, Duke F er di nan d o f Saxe Coburg, Prince Ed ward of Saxe Weimar, Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of London, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, the Duchess. of Northumberland, the Mar quis and Marchioness of Lansdowne, the Lord Mayor of London, the Sheriffs of London, the Cabinet Minis ters, several of the Foreign Ambassadors, &c., &c. Amongst those who received invitations to be present at the repast are the Hon. and. Very Rev. Dr. Hobart, the Dean of Windsor, the CanoaS . of Windsor, and the Rev. Mr. Hodgson, the Provost of Eton. The Vener able the Dean and the Provost likewise received invita tions to the banquet, in the evening, in St. George's Hall. The Naval and Military Knights of Windsor were also present. They were likewise honoured with invite dor s to the luncheon at the Castle at the conclusion of the ceremony. Preparations, on an extensive scale, for a general illu mination, were in progress throughout the day—the shops were generally closed, and numerous flags, banners, and other appropriate devices were displayed in various quarters. In fact, the day appeared to be one of universal festivity and rejoicing to the inhabitants of Windsor, and it is gratifying to add, that through, the gracious benevolence of her Majesty the humbler classes were also enabled to partake in the general rejoicing, several thou - - sand families having been supplied with an abundance of bread, meat, beer, coals, &c. At Bachelor's Acre a battery was erected, upon which the ordnance of the Corporation was mounted, and from which Royal salutes were fired during the day. The roads to and from Frogmore and the Castle-hill were kept clear during the day by parties of the Royal Horse Guards. The' troops assembled at Windsor on this occasion were disposed according to her Majesty's intention under the superintendence of General the Viscount Comber - mere, G.C.8., Gold Stick in Waiting. The route selected for the procession caused serious disappointment to the sight-loving public, who, unless provided with tickets of admission from the Lord Cham berlain, to the lower ward, to pass through Henry the Eighth's gateway, or Castle-hill, were unable to obtain even a glimpse of the spectacle. From the great num ber of carriages which had formed the lengthened caval cade, several had not emerged from the quadrangle at the time the first arrived, at the entrance of the chapel. The distance from point to point cannot much exceed 250 yards. A great portion of the route was extremely narrow, the Norman gateway not being above nine feet in width. It was flanked by the military from the Ciistle to the chapel. Her Majesty entered the Royal carriage at the Queen's entrance, proceeding along the north side of the quad rangle, and through the narrow way of the Norman gateway to Cardinal Wolsey's Chapel, at the entrance to which her Majesty and the other royal and illustrious personages alighted, passing through this edifice to the Chapel of St. George. Although the morning was extremely dark and in clement, about ten o'clock the weather cleared up, and as the hour fixed for the interesting ceremony ap proached, the quadrangle of the Castle and all the points from which even a distant view of the procession could be obtained, were occupied. The police arrangements were excellent, and there was little difficulty experienced by the parties who had been favoured with tickets in gaining access to the places assigned them. From ten o'clock, up to the hour when the important proceedings of the day commenced, there was a con tinued influx of carriages, cabs, omnibuses, and every other description of vehicle, and the streets of the town pre sentedan enlivening and agreeable contrast to the earlier part of the day. Among the more showy equipages the State carriages of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs of Lon don were conspicuous, and attracted much attention from the admiring crowds who now began to fill the streets and windows. At eleven o'clock the Life Guards marched through the gateway adjoin iug Devil's Tower ; and on the southern slopes leading to the Home Park the 72d Highlanders were posted, under the command of General,. Arbuthnot. The sun now broke forth with great brilliancy, and the appearance of the Quadrangle, which was filled with troops, the efficers in full uniform, and the Royal foot men and yeomen of the Guard in their state liveries, and crowds of elegantly dressed females, whose numbers notwithstanding the severity of the x e we c a e t e h di er n , g gr ly ea b t ri ly il p ia r n e ; adnodmiinnateteredsotivneg.r the other sex, was The band of the Royal Horse Guards was stationed in the centre of the Square, and performed a variety of airs during the formation of the procession, which be gan to move about half-past eleven o'clock. Among the distinguished visitors, we observed the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Bishop of Norwich, the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of Cambridge, the Officers of State connected with-the ceremonial, and these were followed by a long line of the Royal carriages, conveying the Royal and illustrious personages who had been previously assembled in the Waterloo Gallery._ The ground in front of the Quadrangle was kept by a squadron of the Life Guards, and the line of route up to the Norman gutowa.y_waa-lionlrmA by __a oompany of the Ist Foot Guards. When the Royal carriages began to move from the Quadrangle, a Royal salute was fired from the batteries, and the band struck up the National Anthem, and the troops on duty presented arms. The Duchess of Kent, on being recognized by the crowd, was loudly and vehe mently cheered. His Majesty the King of Prussia wore the national uniform of the First Corps de Garde, with the chain and insignia of the Black Eagle of Prussia set in brilliants of the first water, and which is only worn by his Majisty on extraordinary occasions. He was in the third State carriage, which was preceded and fol lowed by the Royal footmen. The infant Prince, a fine healthy-looking babe was carried in the arms of the nurse, Mrs. Brough, who held him up in the car riage so that he might be seen by the public. The mo ment he was seen by the crowd there was a loud and general cheer, which was kept up along the entire line of the procession. The Queen and Prince Albert followed. Her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort experienced a loyal and enthusiastic greeting, which they acknowledged by re peatedly bowing to the crowd. THE CEREMONIAL WIrIIIN . THE CASTLE. The Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers, the Knights of the Ga4er, the Cabinet Ministers, the ladies and others invited, assembled in full dress in the Waterloo Gallery, in Windsor Castle, at eleven o'clock. The Knights of the Garter appeared in th e i r mant l es and collars, and the Knights of other orders wore their collars. The Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain, the Master of the Horse, the Mistress of the Robes, the Lady of the Bedchamber, two Maids of Honour, Bedchamber Woman, the Lord in Waiting, the Master of the Household, the Groom in Waiting, were in the corridor at twelve o'clock, to attend the Queen. The Officers of the Household of his Royal Highness the Prince Albert were in the corridor at twelve o'clock. The Vice-Chamberlain, the Treasurer of the House hold, the Comptroller of the Household, Equerry inWait ing, were in the ante-room of the apartments of the King of Prussia, at twelve o'clock, to attend his Majesty to the carriage and to the Chapel. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York, and the Bishops of Lor.don, Winchester, Oxford, and Norwich, were in the Waterloo Gallery at twelve o'clock. The sponsors were in the State Drawing-room at a quarter past twelve. Their respective attendants were in Waiting in the Waterloo Chamber. THE CHAPEL. The only addition made to St. George's Chapel in MORNING SUN which the ceremony of the baptism actually took place' was the erection of a raised platform in front of the altar, upon which Cie ancient font used in the christening. of former Prin ces o f W a l es was p l ace d . Thi s f on t, which was removed from the Tower to the Chapel a few days since, has been re-gilt for the present occasion. Upon the King of Prussia proceeding from his apar ments, the sponsors and their attendants joined b 6 Majesty at the head of the grand staircase, and ace( 131. panted him to the Chapel. The Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers, the Knigl-V! of the Garter, the Cabinet Ministers, the ladies, and others invited, were conveyed to the Wolsey Hall, and, as they respectively arrived, proceeded to the char► conducted to their seats by the two Gentlemen Usher* the Heralds being present and co-operating. Cardinal Wolsey's Hall, which is built in harniont, with the general architectur e o f the Chapel, was floored carpeted,:and furnished for th e accommodation of partie 9 forming part of the procession, who were set down a t portico erected at the entran ce o f th e c l o i sters beh in d. the altar of the Chapel, and were f rom th ence con ducte d to the aisles, from whence gates lead to the platform- Her Majesty shortly after her arrival proceeded to d Wllot • Chapter House, and remai ne d th ere w i t h t h e a Prince until nearly the commencement of the service.
