artists in the world will be employed upon them, and the printing and

The ILLUSTRATED EXHIBITOR and MAGAZINE of ART
will not o form a Gallerof Pictorilllustrations, but will also
contain anly
ably-
instructive articles on a variety of subjects, interesting and
instructive to all elassee, arranged under the following heads :
I. WORKS of the GREAT MASTERS.
Copies of the most celebrated Works of the Great Masterss of all
Nations in Painting, Sculpture, and other branches f
11. The PORTRAIT GALLERY. _
Which "Oil be' enriched-Ty itik niggraphical Fgaetchea.and-temini...
cences. The Portraits will be engraved with the greatest care by
first-rate artists ; and, together with the Blogrenhies, will prove of
deep interest and profit.
M. HISTORICAL EVE
Each article will be accompanied by a splend.. .dgraving. As the
most striking events in the history of other nations, as well as our
own, will be included, this will prove a medium for the communica-
tion of much valuable auAnstr
d iuctive information.
IV. RCHITECTURE.
This department will comprise the finest specimens of the Archi-
tecture of Europe, including the Cathedrals and other Ecclesiastical
Buildings of England and the
buildings possessing claims to
sidences,
architectural taste and beauty.
V. SCIENTIFIC I
DISCOVROVER3EIENIES, INVENTIONS, and
TS.
This department will embrace a vast range of subjects ; and as the
articles will be written in the clearest and most practical style, and
illustrated and explained by a number of suitable diagrams and en-
gravings, it will be deeply interesting to all who desire information
on such subjects, hut especially to youthful artisans and mechanics.
VI. The WORK eIIOPS MANUFACTuRIESS. and L A.BJRATO-
RIES of ENGLAND and the WORLD.
In this department one grand object of the recent Exhibition of the
Industry of All Nations will be fully carried out, namely, t e deve-
lopment of the faculty of invention. It will include minute descrip-
tions of the processes by which the various raw materiais with which
the earth abounde are made to supply the necessities, and to
minister to the comforts and elegancies of life. The Pictorial I his-
trations will bye,nueou and the uescriptions will be written in an
educational styl sech as to convey instruction and entertainment
to families and general readers.
VII LOCAL and DOMESTIC SCENES.
These will include some of those events which occur in cities, in
towns, and in familiar life, which are well deserving of notice, and
which admit of beautiful pictorial illustration. Such are national
commemorations, the internal arrangements of Government esta-
blishments, scenes in domestic life, &C., &c.
VIII. itEMINI,CENCES of the GREAT EXHIBITION.
Consisting of Pictorial and Literary Illustrations of those interest-
ing objects in Art and science for which space -ould not be found in
Volume the First. Although the Illustra,ed Exhibitor contains a
larger and more choice celleetion ot the valuable contributions to the
World's Fair than has been ever belore attempted, yet the various
and unique sul jects still to be introduced will be found worthy the
reader's best attention.
IX. The LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
This curious and useful portion of the work will be under the su-
perintendence of one of the principal fenimes d'aiguilles of the will
bud will be made peeuliarly tuceptable to female readers, as it will
be accompanied by a series of illustrations of the most novel and ele-
gant designs in embroidery, and every kind of ornamental needle-
work, the latest fashions in dress, &c., &c.
It must be obvious to the most casual observer, that the specimens
of art and manufacture recen collected in the Great Exhibition of
the Industry of All Nations have wonderfully improved the taste of
all classes of the community, and have inspired them with a oho i°-
the beautiful, and a desire to excel, whleh no lecturer, or books,
w-
ever well written, con d possibly have done. The object of the Illus-
trated Exhibitor and Magazine of Art will be to combine lucid
ndwrit-
ing and pictorial ill ustr ation, addressing itself at on ce to the uer-
stanling and the eye. And should this New Series, published as it
will he at so low a price, answer the description given in this l'ros-
pectus, it will evidently be the greateit literary undertaking of the
present day. The bringing out of each weekly number will involve a
large outlay, but John Cassel relies with confidence on the support
of all classes of the communitybelieves that this his publication
will be truly National in its character, and will secure not fewer
than 200,000 Subscribers.

A popular review of almost every form (cause rs

the young, besets the man of pleasure, business, or study, and em-
bitters old are ; with tables and rules for the diet and physical regu.
lation of every-day life.

BRADFORD, DEC 25.—Wool—The wool market is
not marked by any particular change. The dispropor
tion between the price of wool and that of yarns acts as
a barrier to extended operations, as the spinners only buy
sparingly; nor do we expect to see much activity so
long as this disjointed state of things continues. Yarns
—There is a decided improvement in the demand for
yarns, and although better prices can be realised than
were current in November, still the rates as they now
rule are anything but satisfactory, and such as will only
tend to keep the production in its present limited. form.
Pieces—The business doing is fully as much as is usual
at the close of the year, and with a firmness in price that
has not been manifest for some months past.
TRADE OF MANCHESTER, DEC, 24.—Christmas fall-
ing o❑ the Thursday, or mid-week market-day, there
hs,3 been rather snore business to-day than was expected,
but there is no change of prices, or indication of a
larger general and permanent domand at present. There
has been a fair business in the wider shirtiurs suitable
for China and for good printing, cloths, at full prices.
There is not a large busieesa in domestics, but they still
move off in fair quantities for the home trade. Some
large orders have been given out this week, and a fair
business to-day in yarns at steady prices. The cloths
most in demand are common qualities of maddapeiams,
and prices are low and unremunerative, but there has
been a check given to the production, which will pro-
bably prevent the accumulation of stocks. After the
holidays are over a rather large demand or the staples
of this market is anticipated, at the low prices which
cotton manufactures have reached under the guarantees
which exists for low-priced cotton, in the unexampled
supply of t hat article acknowledged to be forthcoming.
The estimates from the United States now very gene-
rally fix the crop at 2,800,000 bales.

By the Royal Mail steam-ship
Avon we have re-
ceived our usual correspondence and files of papers
from the Pacific ports. The rtes from Valparaiso
are to the 26th of October. With reference to the
revolution in Chili, the Tralpwaiso Mercantile Re-
porter gives the following latest intelligence :
We exp,ressed in our last
tation of being able to inform our friends, at the sailing
of this steamer, of the entire settliment of the disturb-
anceswhich only extended to Serena std Co
in the north and south. Bat our expectations
our
report the exp.ee.
have only been partly realised. De riot in the north,
which the people of Copiapo took no part, has been
successfully quenched. The troops Coquimbo, and in
of the insurgents, at
the head of which stood General Carrera,
were beaten
near Petorca by the Government !aces, consisting of
1,200 men under General Vidaurre, who took 300 pri-
soners. The engagement lasted three hours, and the
killed and wounded amounted to about 400, taking both
sides. Carrera made his escape, aid was followed by
the Government troops on his flight
" From Copiapo 300 men were seat against Coquimbo
to cut off the enemy's retreat, which likewise succeeded,
and with the exception of a small number holding out
in Serene, we may consider that in the north the revo-
lution is extinguished, and that no new attempt will be
made, which, in fact, in this country can never be suc-
cessful, as long as the civic forces' of, the country are
adverse to it. The best proof of our assertion is, that
neither Santiago, nor Valparaiso, nor Copiapo, have
taken any part in the disturbances, but, on the contrary,
what with safety guards and civics, have supported the
Government and upheld the peace. The places in which
this revolutionary spirit has mostly shown itself are
those who have voted for General Cruz during the elec-
tion, and feel aggravated with the issue. Santiago and
Valparaiso, as before stated, bear no signs of disturb-
ances, and philharmonic bails, concert., and theatre
belie the possibility. An effort to raise disturbances
was made in Aconcagua, but prevented by the consta-
bles, so that we are entitled to arrive at the conclusion
that this so called revolution is only local, and by no
means general.
" The Government troops from the north are now
being shipped to the south, where General Bulnes, with
from four to five thousand good soldiers, is supposed to
be able promptly to restore ordar and peace.
" With our limited means of communication the
transport of troops is often connected with difficulties,
this being one of the reasons that we are not able by
this steamer to inform our friends of the definite result
of affairs in the south. We can only add that the Gai
, and that the insur-
gents are short both of money and arms. We must, vernment troops are well organised
how-
ever, regret that the effects of this revolution has caused
a paraiysation of trade, and thrown an impediment in the
march of public enterprise, the effects of which cannot
fail to be felt by the very people who have raised the
standard of rer)lt.'

Bulnes. They are said to number about 4,500 men, in
a good state of equipment and filled with enthusiasm.
Atter making all due allowance for the partiality of
their friends, wo are persuaded that they are in all
respects superior to their foes, and anticipate that the
intelligence, when it does come, will be of victory.
"On the 20th the advance guard of the Government
troops began to march from Loncomilla towards Chil-
lan, having been detained_ by rains. Bequenano, the,
Commander-in-Chief of the insurgents, started from
Concepcion on the 16th.
"Oa the 9th inst. the Government paid the regular
dividend on the internal debt, and also cancelled the
usual amount of the bonds.
" CUSToni•RoUSE.'—On the 22d instant the new Cus-
tom-house regulations went into effect. The duties, for
the most part, henceforth are 25 per cent. Many ar-
ticlas, as raw materials for manufacturers, are Ire c•;
others, as jewelry, at 2 per cent. only; ready-made
clothing at 30 per cent.; and tobacco at 100."

The- Valparaiso Reporter supplies the following
items of news from the neighbouring states :
" Ecuador—The presidency of General Urbina has
been unanimously accepted, and it is probable that peace
will he maintained for some times.

•' Peru is in perfect tratqui:lity, and this peaceable
state will, no doubt, greatly contribute to its aivance-
meat in commerce and liberal institutions.

" Bolivia is also in peace, although Congress has not
fulfilled the promises with which it began its meetings.
At first, some of its members dared to raise their voices
and claim reforms in the Government, but they were
speedily silenced, and Congress will close its meetings
without having done anything except abolishing the
Quina bank—a measure which Government had resolved
on before."

COMMERMILL -INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Valparaiso Mercantile Reporter.)
VALPARAISO, OCT. 26.
During the present political disturbances in the coun-
try no change for the better. as far as the home trade is
concerned, can be looked for. We have no doubt, and
have sufficient information to assert, that though at pre-
sent the political sky of our formerly peaceful Republic
is clouded, those clouds will soon be dispersed, .and that
the cauntry cannot losa its prosperity through the politi-
cal intrigues of a few. Meanwhile, however, until the
disturbances in the north and south are entirely settled,
the confidence both of buyers and sellers is shaken.
These remarks apply to the home trade, but bear no al-
lusion to the export trade with our customers of Salta
Bolivia and other parts who have to lay in stocks during
the coming month for the approaching summer season.
Our market is well assorted of English, French, and
German goods, and importations during tho month have
been considerable, particularly in plain cotton goods
from Mancheste, which would have 'net with ready
sale under different circumstances.

The new tariff, which went into force on the 22d of
this month, has caused a considerable activity in the
Custom house dispatches, particularly in the dispatches
of French silks, the duty on which is now 10 per cent.
higher than formerly. A sale of about 20,000 qtls.
nitrate of soda has been effected at 18 rls, partly deli-
verable during the month and the remainder in Decem-
ber' and this high rate is likely to continue while freight
for British shipping keeps at the present rate.
No alteration has occurred in the rates of freight for
produce to Europe since oar report of last month; few
charters are in the market, and quotations may bo
nominally made at 30s. for nitrate of soda to Liver-
pool, and 355. to a safe port in the United Kingdom,
calling at Cork for orders; rates for other produce
in proportion. Freights to California 8 dollars.
The Hamburgh barque Adolph was sold by auction at
3,000 dolls. Under prevailing circumstances we can
make no alterations in our price current, and our quota-
tion must be considered nominal.

Neither have any transactions taken place in our staple
export articles, as fl cur, barley, and other alimentaries,
the principal port of shipping, Concepcion, being
blockaded. The nominal price for flour may be quoted
at 9 dolls. 4 fo. bl. 200, and 4 dolls. per fanega for small
quantities of barley has been obtained. Neither can we
report any transactions in coals, copper, or quicksilver.
The silver, in bars, arrived by the Bolivia, were sold
at the commencement 10 dolls. sr. to 10 dolls. fir. per
mark, and 10 dolls. 4r. has been since accepted for some
small parcels remaining over.
Exchanges—Draughts on London, 44 44k; ditto Ham-
burgh, 38k; hard dollars, 12 per cent. premium; copper
i❑ bars, 16 dolls.; silver, 10 dolls. 50., 10 dolls. sie.;

The Humboldt has just arrived off Cowes, on her
way to Havre, with the mails for England. She
left New York on the 15th instant. She brings
600,000 dollars in specie, mostly in American gold.

We leern that the resolution of Wilcox relating to
him passed the thaited States Senate by a vote of 36
to 6 ; it will pass the house by a larger majority.
The New York Herald thus describes the plans of
the various adventurers now in America, and gives the
palm to Lola Montes :
" There is the plan of Mazzini's Italian loan in
London, upon which it is said he has already suc-
ceeded in raising two millions of dollars. There is the
plan ofDr. Kinkel, for the German national loan of
two millions, to be redeemed by the future republican
nationalities of Germany. There is also the plan of Lo-
pez and his confederates, pledging the public
resources, &c., of the country to be conquered,
to the liquidation of the bonds. Dr. Kinkel's, ac-
cording to certain late proceedings at Cleveland,
Ohio, is the most startling, comprehending not only
the liberation of Germany, but of all the slaves of the
Southern States. But the plan of Lola Montes to
rescue her beloved Bavaria, King and all, from the
outrageous Jesuits, is at once the simplest and most
fascinating. No doubt in the world, the bottom of

She is a Red Republican—very red, with delicious
black eyes to boot. But she keeps her own coun-
sels ; and, under the plea of her personal necessities,
she intends to achieve the independence of Bavaria
by dancing. It was the legs of Fanny Elssler that
topped out the Bunker-hill monument. Her name
is thus for ever identified with one of the most glo-
rious battles of our revolutionary struggle. Thus, we
suspect, does Lola intend to identify herself with the
freedom of Bavaria ; not by building, but by de-
serving a monument."

ANOTHER POISONING CASE IN
SUFFOLK.

Boil' ST.EDMIINDS, DEC. 24.—West Suffolk is fast
rivaling the reputation of East Anglia for poisoning
by arsenic. Not long ago an old man of eighty was
committed to Bury gaol on a charge of administering
arsenic to Ms daughter-in-law ; and this day (Wed-
nesday) a farmer, named William Baldry, living at
Preston, near Lavenham, was fully committed,
charged with an attempt to poison his wife. The sub-
joined evidence, on which the prisoner was committed,
was taken at the gaol, before the Rev. N. W. Hall-
ward. The wife, who is suffering severely from the
effect of the poison, had previously made a statement
to the magistrate, expressing her belief that her illness
was occasioned by poison administered to her by her
husband. She was too ill to attend the inquiry to-
day, but her deposition was read over to the prisoner,
who betrayed a good deal of emotion on hearing it. A
child of the prisoner, two years old, and a servant
girl, are also both ill from having partaken of some
portion of the drink in which it was mixed.
Harriet Cone, a widow, and tdbther of Mrs. Bal-
dry, wife of the prisoner, stated that her suspicion
that poison had been administered to her daughter
was first excited on Saturday, the 22d of November,
and on the following morning (Sunday) she ex-
amined a glass out of which her daughter had drunk
some beer the night before. She rinsed the glass and
poured the contents into a small scent bottle, which
she put into her pocket, and kept there until the
Monday .week following, when she gave it to Mr.
Vincent, a surgeon, at Lavenham. The Satur-
day following, witness was making coffee down
stairs, and poured.out two cups, one for her daughter
and one for her son-in-law. She left the room not
more than two minutes to put some milk into it, and
then took a cup of coffee to her daughter, no
one else being in the room. Witness sugared the
coffee in her daughter's room, and tasted it herself,
before giving it to her daughter. The latter drank
the greater part of it, and then turned the cup
of
one side, exclaiming, " Oh, mother, what is in
on
here ? She then poured the remainder

[PRICE SD.

In reply to a question from the magistrate, the
witness stated that her reason for not telling Mr.
Vincent was, that she was afraid he would inform her
daughter, and that it might frighten her to death.
Mr. E. Image, surgeon, of Bury, stated that on
Tuesday week Mr. Vincent sent a bottle to him to
be analysed, which he did the same day, and found it
to contain no metallic poison. On the following day
Mr. Vincent brought a little flat bottle, jbout half
filled with what appeared to-be ilvater,iiiith a white
sediment at the bottom; The witness had since ana-
lysed the contents of the bottle, and found arsenic in
it. The bottle had been ever since in his possession.

P. C. Caldwell, the next witness, deposed that he was
at the house of the prisoner on Wednesday evening
last, when the prisoner told him that he had mixed
two powders, a portion of one in some beer, and the
other in some coffee, which had been given to his
wife ; that be had taken some of the powder him-
self as medicine, which made him very sick, but that
he afterwards felt better, and thought that by giving
her some it would also make her better. The pri-
soner further said he bought the powders of a man
named Attwood, at Bildeston. He then said that he
had got three fat pigs in a hovel, and that he would
give Mr. Vincent one, and himself (witness) any
amount of money not to say anything about it, as no
one would ever know it.

SIR C. NAPIE lA.'S SERVICES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—Sir Charles Napier, in a letter to you, which
appeared in the Times this morning, coolly asserts
that my statement of the 20th inst. is a notorious
falsehood. May I request you will oblige me by al •
lowing me to prove, though the columns of your
journal, that if it is so, I have been unconsciously led
' into error from not having seen Sir Charles Napier
in the usual place for a commander who could with
justice lay claim to having " stormed Sidon and taken
the garrison prisoners ;" Sir Charles Napier's assertion,
" I stormed Sidon and took the garrison prisoners,"
leading every one to believe that he headed the troops
and led them to the attack.
The first question I would ask Sir Charles Napier
is—Who was the British officer who so gallantly
dashed across the bridge into the town at the head of
the Turkish troops? Not Sir Charles Napier, but
Mr. Arthur Cumming, now Commander Cumming,
of the Royal Navy.
Secondly,—Who led the battalion of Royal Ma-
rines to which I was attached up to the sea-gate of
the town to support the Turks above-named ? Not
Sir Charles Napier, but Captain Morrison, of the
Royal Marines.
Thirdly,—Who led the battalion of Royal Marines
that marched to the attack of the other sea gate ?
Not Sir Charles Napier, but Captain Whylock, now
Colonel Whylock, of tl:e Royal Marines.
Sorely, if Sir Charles Napier was not at the head
of either of thesa bodies of troops, he cannot well take
all the credit to himself of having " stormed Sidon
and taken the garrison prisoners."
Sir Charles Napier might have gone up, outside
the walls _of the town, to the upper ors-land-gate,- but
the point of attack on which the largest body of
troops was concentrated must have been the post of
danger ; and I am still of opinion that if an officer
does not lead on his soldiers to the attack, but crawls
round outside a wall whilst the first and hottest
brush is going on inside, he cannot with any modesty
lay claim to be considered the great warrior Sir
Charles Napier would wish to make' himself appear.
I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant,
Dec. 26. A ROYAL MARINE.

THE REV. P. COOPER.
(From the Cork Southern Reporter.)
The more we reflect on the letter addressed by the
Reverend P. Cooper to the Freeman's Journal, the
more astounded we are at the audacity of its tone,
the more amazed at the indiscretion of the writer.
That the reverend gentleman could have imagined any
journalist, not reduced to the condition of absolute
servitude, capable of submitting to the dictatorial
command conveyed in it, is more than we are able to
comprehend. But if he did imagine that his threaten-
ing missive could produce the effect, and wrote it
merely to frighten the editor of the Freeman's Journal
into a suppression of the manifesto of Mr. Keogh
and his colleagues, his conduct would not appear so
pre-eminently absurd as it now does. For, evidently
more than doubting the acquiescence of the Freeman,
in his extraordinary demand, he yet insisted on hav-
ing the fact, that such a demand was made, pro-
claimed to the world, by the publication of his letter.
He felt it to be more than probable that the journalist
could not bow to the degradation of complying with
his orders : and yet he seems to have been quite satis-
fied that the country at large was sunk to such a point
of baseness, as to concede that he was justified in
issuing them. A grosser insult to the intelligence
and independence of Catholic Irishmen we really
could not conceive possible.
We should like to IND sir who or what Mr. Cooper
is, that he dares to forbid the publication, by the
Irish Press, of an appeal to the Irish people, by cer-
tain of their representatives, on a subject in which
they arei mmediately and seriously concerned ? By
what authority does he assume to intermeddle in the
business ?—ls it as curate of one of the metropolitan
churches that he constitutes himself censor of the
Press?—" Don't dare to print the mischievous letter
of these Parliamentary busy bodies, till you know
what the Primate thinks of it; or, if you do, let the
country know that I, the Reverend P. Cooper, one of
the curates in Marlborough-street, warned you not ?
—Risum teneatis amici Why, his reverence medi-
tated a coup d itat. What twenty-four Archbishops
and Bishops, and a supernumerary, did not even at-
tempt, at Thurles, the Reverend P. Cooper made a
bold effort to accomplish on the 18th of Decem-
ber, 1851. The 18th Brumaire was a joke to what
he tried to do, but—as failures will occur sometimes—
didn't.

bottom. She saw the prisoner give the beer to
her daughter, first putting in some sugar from a
basin on the stand, and stirring it up. Witness grated
some nutmeg into it, and her daughter drank part
of it; while holding it in her hand, Baldry said,
" Ain't you going to drink it all ?" but she said she
was afraid, for the doctor had forbidden her beer. He
replied, " Drink it all out ; it won't hurt you:' He
had procured the beer by her daughter's desire.
About half-past three in the morning, after drinking
the beer, witness's daughter was very sick, and vomited
for two hours. She remain©d very in

Oa the cross-examination of tho witness by Mr.
Gooday, who appeared on behalf of the prisoner, she
;
stated that the Baer was drunk before the coffee. She
kept the scent-bottle in her pocket, with the stuff in
it, from the Sunday morning until the following S 4.
turday. Mr. Vincent, the surgeon, had come there
during the week—she did not know how many times;
and though she saw him every time he came, she told
him nothing of the bottle during that week. When
he came on the following Monday she gave him the
bottle.

It is important to add, as assigning a motive for the
commission of the alleged crime, that in the wife's
deposition she stated that some time ago she had a
sum of money left her, part of which she gave to her
husband. Latterly he had pressed her for the re-
mainder, which she refused to give him, and that ever
since he had treated her hardily.

But, as it is hardly probable that he acted in his
simple capacity of curate, in what other did he
" warn" the Freeman ? Is he Censor of the Press
"in petit; ?" Does the Primate intend the reverend
gentleman for this distinguished post ? If so, we
must " warn" him that he has made a great blunder,
in anticipating the period of his appointment. Ire-
land has not yet been " ultramontanised" enough to
begin this sort of work. Our countrymen have been
accustomed, so long, to so much freedom of the
Press, at least, as consists in the publication of letters
from patriotic M.P.s, that they will by no means un-
derstand Mr. Cooper's mode of dealing with

such, it becomes our duty to resent it, in the strongest 1
language we can use. Audacious in i:s object, and
insolent in its tone, every newspaper which is not the 1
mere tool of some enslaving influence should denounce
it. Not because the threat comes from an individual,
of very small personal pretensions; but, on the con-
trary, and a fortiori, because a sort of weight is at-
tempted to be attached to the Curate's admonition,
by coupling with it the Primate's name. The com-
mand of Mr. Cooper would be merely ridiculous, but
it has a significance which becomes important when
connected with the allusion to Dr. Cullen. Were the
act on which we comment that of the latter, it would
merit still more resolute rebuke.
