greatly to the annoyance of the tiger, who set off
after them, with the tub banging and.bumping
away in his rear. The conception of this inci-
dent is highly • comic and grotesque, and the
author has worked it out with equal humour.
Indeed we know not when we have met with a
piece of drollery so much to our taste. It is il-
lustrated with several plates, which, however,
are not remarkable for humour.

WALSALL ELECTION.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Since I last had the pleasure of communicating with
you, the electors of Walsall have had a visit from Mr.
Charles Wilkins, of Manchester, who has been addressing
them in the George Hotel Assembly-room these two last
nights, on behalf of the Corn-laws, monopolies, and Conser-
vative principles. His audience has been composed almost
entirely of Tories, great pains being taken to exclude
those who were likely to oppose him ; few or none of the
non-electors are admitted on any terms. Meantime both
candidates are incessantly at work amongst the " doubtful"
or unpledged voters, and using other means to secure the
election. A few " gents." have arrived from the Carlton
Club to " assist" Mr. Gladstone.
The " writ" having arrived yesterday forenoon, the
Mayor (a Catholic) announced by placard that the nomi-
nation would take place on Monday morning at nine o'clock,
and the election is fixed for the day following.

The King of Bavaria has promoted his brother,
Prince Chiles, to the rank of Field Marshal.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Our Manchester Corresp)mdent will see that we have
stated the substance of his communication relative to
Walsall.

Gentlemen who attended me was -the famous oculist, De.

skill. " Physic, Bleeding, Blistering, with a seton, of all

a Is. 3d. Canister, opened it in the shop—took some, and was

Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more weaAlly, viz. :-
Ist. Insuris.g their lives in sums from 51. and upwards, se-
euring Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age; Weeic.y
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in auras from 10/. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in 'frade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of '2Ol. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.
The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
hare guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,

The County is the only Fire Office which has constantly
trade Returns to its Members, and for a long series of years.
These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and. have
amounted to upwards of 100,0001.
In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided
among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of
from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty on his. own life
for 3,0001., which ad(iitions increased to 3,90/.
Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up
within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro-
jected within the ast two or three years, it may be necessary
to observe, that all the substantial advantages promised by such
new Offices have been long realised under the plans and ma-.
nagement of the Provident Life Office.

POLY TECHNIC INSTITUTION.

new exhibition commences this day at this place of
for
and instruction, which will probably attract
ICor
serne time those who are desirous of witnessing the
Progress of a discovery which has already excited not a
Intie interest. Mr. Beard, the patentee of Walcott's
Ksfleeting Apparatus, by which likenesses arc taken on
the f‘rinciple of the Daguerreotype, for some days has
been exhibiting the process in one of the rooms of the
estaklishm,-.4.t to a limited circle of his acquaintances
.114c1 to person connected with the press, previous to
1,10 Public exhibition. The process is extremely simple.
he room in which the l!kenesses are taken is at the
to, of the building, and has sky-lights with coloured
Bless,
so as to give the most favourable light for the ope-
ration. The individual whose likeness is to be taken
Places himself on a chair which is fitted with ma-
Zhitery for keeping the head in one position, the opera-
?l' Puts a small plate, properly prepared, in a camera
°nature in front of him, and in a Jew seconds the plate

hsed in photogenic drawing. In some instances, the
it.lnesses which we saw taken yes'erday were uncom-
monly correct. Bat a great deal depends on circum-
stances, !qt. if the patient is either nervous, or in-
clined to :cni!e, or screws up his features to a
solemn pitch, :be pott-ait comes forth with these

nicety required in submitting the plate to the

great perfection, and the most str king likeness pro.

LONDON:
TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1541.

The Lords did nothing but receive a few peti-
tions,hear a defence of the Rev.Mr.M‘C ANDLEISH,
and prosecute their inquiry into the appoint-
ments made by the Poor-law Commissioners of
Ireland. So very uninteresting are their Lord-
ships' labours considered to be by the Times, that
it does not generally condescend to waste a line
on their nightly sittings. Their Lordships
amused themselves till dinner-time.
The Commons, after the presentation of
a great number of petitions, the announce-
ment of a motion for a Committee on Newfound-
land, a little gossip about the arrangement of
business, in which Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he
should state on Wednesday what he meant to
do as to many of the amendments proposed to
the new Poor-law—went into a Committee on
the Consolidated Fund Bill. The CHANCELLOR
of the EXCHEQUER gave the explanation to Sir
G. CLERK which he was unable to give on Fri-
day, and said that the mistake arose from the
Hon. Baronet having moved for and obtained an
incomplete return, which took no notice of the
money in the Treasury.
In reply to Mr. HumE , the CHANCELLOR Of
the EXCHEQUER admitted that he had used some
of the money of the Savings Banks, which the
Hon. Gentleman said was enough to alarm the
House and the country. The Right Hon. Gen-
tleman was increasing the debt without the con-

sent of Parliament.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated
that he was authorised to do what he had done.
The SPEAKER called the attention of the
House to the mode in which the extra ex-
' pence of last year was to be provided for
and mentioned in the Appropriation Act,
which he said was directly the reverse of
the only precedent he, could find, which occurred
in 1790, of a surplus expenditure being after-
wards provided for. In that case the vote was
reserved till the end of the Session, and was not
mixed up with the ordinary business of Supply.
An appeal to Sir R. PEELS opinion however—
who is the real guide of the House—and a few
words from the Right Hon. Baronet, settled the
question.
The House resumed, and after a long prelimi-
nary discussion, about what specific object we
cannot say, further than it referred to the Poor-
law
Commissioners Continuance Bill, and the
administration of the law, went into a Committee
on that Bill. Mr. WAKLEY was, as before, very
inflammatory, and this time he had Lord How-
ICK for a critic and opponent.
In Committee there was a considerable debate
on an amendment proposed by Mr. EASTHOPE to
limit the duration of the Bill to 1843, instead of
1846, which was lost by 174 to 135. The House
was occupied with this important Bill through
the greater part of the evening, and rose at Half=
past Twelve o'Clock.

_
mand of her Majesty. It is as fine a specimen
of the perfection to which this style of Art has
been raised of late years, as any we ever saw,
and confirms us in the opinion, which we have
long formed, that it is absurd and unjust to
designate by the disparaging name of drawings,
the finished and. effective works, which so many
artists of the highest education and talents are
now daily producing in every department of the
Art, with *his medium. Tins picture, which is
painted on paper, has quite as much force, and
nearly as much strength of colour as could be
produced in oil by any painter of the day ; and
we say, without hesitation and without flattery,
that her Majesty's expressed approbation of it" as
a picture and as a likeness," proves that the
opinion generally entertained of her possessing
a natural taste and cultivated judgment in the
Fine Arts is well founded. As a
work under our consideration has high merit in
composition, colour, drawing, dpicture, the
and management
of the lights. As a likeness we are inclined to
pronounce it the most successful that has yet ap-
peared before the public. Mr. Penley caught
with rare felicity the peculiarly sweet expression
of the Prince's countenance. The term sweet is
the only one we can find to convey our wean-
ing. It is a correct term in the criticism of
physiognomy and art, And the appearance of it
in this cOOl is true, and apt. In observing a close
delineation of strongly marked and classical feEk.‘
tures, it is easy for a faithful t7.ortraiteur to

Vozs. 29, 30, 31. Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh, 1841.
These volumes comprise a history of Italy and
the Italian Islands from the earliest ages to the
present time, and are the production of Mr.
Spalding, Professor of Rhetoric in the University
of Edinburgh. This gentleman has accomplished
a difficult task with considerable ability; his
narrative is easy and flowing; and it is manifest
in every chapter of his history that he has spared
neither pains nor research. The result is a tem-
perate and impartial work, which may vie with
the best of its kind in modern historical litera-
ture. We are glad to hear of the increasing po-
pularity of the Edinburgh Cabinet Library,"
for it is carried on with spirit, and the subjects
discussed are in general well chosen.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Slit,—As it has been stated in your Paper that the
" Puscyites never meddle with politics," allow me to avail
myself of your columns for the purpose of convincing your
readers that politics form a very important feature in the
new, or rather the Popish system, now maturing in Oxford,
ilke the parent to which it owes its birth, (for Dr. Pussy says
" Rome is our mother through whom we were born to
Christ"). This system is, in fact, a politico-religious one,
politics being part and parcel of it; and let the Queen and
the Bishops look to it, or she may lose her Crown and
they their mitres ! In page 141, 3d vol., of " Tracts fur
the Times," there is the sketch of a religious service,
purely political, " in honour of Bishop Ken," for refusing
to acknowledge the new dynasty of William the Third,
rather than violate his allegiance to " the traitor, James
the Second " " By thus doing"_the compilers of this re-
ligious service, in lessn 6, say—" lie (Ken) gave to
Caesar the things that be Cmsar's, and to God the things
that be God's "!! In perfect agreement, Dr. Pussy, in
his sth of November sermon, denounces the " glorious
Revolution of 1688," lie stiles it the " so-called glorious
Revolution," and intimates that we aro suffering for the
national sin committed at that period of our history. In
short, the Puseyites arc advocates (strenuous) for the doc-
trine passive obedience and non-rusismce.
I sin, Sir, yours, &c.
