JACOBS, the ROYAL VENTRILOQUIST and GREAT
MODERN MAGICIAN, whose . performances during the
last two seasons created a great sensation, will, for athird time,
have the honour of submitting to the public his unrivalled and
truly pleasing performances. His NECROMANTIC TEM-
PLE will be found superior in every respect to those on forme
°eft:ions. His Ventriloquism has undergone considerable
challge and improvement; in the delineation of the various
characters he is the first in Europe ; a great treat is afforded to
the audience in this department.
Mr. Jacobs, in addition to his own interesting entertainment,
has added these of Mons. ROSSEAU, the celebrated
FRENCH EQUILIBRIST ; Herr KREUZER'S PHAN-
TASMAGORIAL DISSOLVING PORTRAITS, which
are on an entirely new system • and the Classical Experiments

THE IVORY MODEL OF THE TAGE MUHAL,
or Crown of Edifices, at AGRA, in the East Inaies.
4, Thee 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 Tage
Mahal,- coo of the most remarkable edifices in modern Agra,
erected in 10550 by Kba:iz,hall Jehan, the fifth Great Mogul,
as the cemetery of his favourite wife, Sultana Mehd

Cost in its erection GO Lies of rupees, or 73L,000/ The Model
ceenpies a space of nine square feet and its height i six feet.
It is the work of Indian artists, and, while in point ors extent it
is unmatchable, it is also one or 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
phis 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 inlayings of the ori-
f inal building are expressed in the copy with every appearance
or 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-
site'', and elaborately worked. On the whole, this model pre-
sents; a surprising and beautiful effect, and terms one of the
most. interesting exhibitions in the metropolis."--Morn. Chron.

and left the house unprotected. The shopman, who was
the first to give the alarm, has beim taken into custody
