It is to be regretted that the Greenland and Davla
Straits Fishery should exhibit such symptoms of decal-
In the year 1821, upwards of ninety whale-ships left the
single port of Hull, and the total number of vessels
engaged in the trade in that year was nal
than 200, whilst for many years the quantity °
whale fins averaged, in weight, from 600 to 700 tons.
Of late years.the number of ships employed, and of fish ;'
captured, have very much diminished, as appears from'';
the following table :

The increased quantity of South Sea whalebone has'
to some extent, supplied the deficiency of northern
bone ; but inasmuch as the former is of a coarse qualitY:f
and not applicable for many of the purposes for Whie`'
northern bone is used, the northern has increased in value.

THE MODEL OF THE T,A.G.'a
MUHAL, NOW EXHIBITING AT • THE COS"
MORAMA, REGENT-STREET.
Among the numerous exhibitions of the metropolis;
there is none more worthy of notice than the ivory mode!
of the Tage Muhal, now exhibiting in Regent-street. Iti
is made of solid ivory, and is an exact model of the original'
which is one of the wonders of modern India. Bishop Reber,
in his " Journal," speaking of the Tage Muhal, says :--"
" I went to see the celebrated Tage Muhal, of which IS
is enough to say, that, after hearing its praises ever sinfe c.g
I bad been in India, its beauty rather exceeded than
short of my expectations." This magnificent and beau"
tiful edifice is situated about three miles from Agra, of.
the banks of the Jumna, and is built entirely
white marble. It occupies a space of one litindre
yards square; and is crowned by a dome which rises 1:'
;9sl
the height of 150 feet. The building itself is raised ,°,`Thc,-'
a terrace of white marble, from the angles of which I_7.
four lofty minarets. It was erected about A.D. 1650, by
Khan Shah Jehan, the sth Great Mogul, as the ea, le;
tery of his favourite wife Soltana Mehd Aliya, the Inefo
of Nur Jehan, his mother. in-law. This mausoleum, t':l
finest in the world, cost 60 lacs of rues, or 750,00', •
It contains a central hall. within which are the to b 5
of the empress and of the Emperor Shah Jehan
and around this hall are several smaller apartments and
corridors. The founder of this magnificent mausolea,ll.7'l
was one of the most talented, and at the same time one
the most unfortunate, of the Sovereigns of India. of
affection for his wife this mausoleum, erected by him I% ler-,
her last resting place, was a sufficient proof ; and 11 e Wl3'
equally remarkable for his affection for his children•_:,,,,
No sooner had his three sons attained to years of maturitf
-than he bestowed on each the government of a prcoince.
His youngest son was the celebrated and infamous -Nati ,
rungzebe. He was the favourite of Shah Jehan, nn
after endeavouring to incite his brothers to treas°it
against their father, in order to betray thT,
and to obtain possession of their territories, in

he was but too successful, he, having destroyed
brothers, turned his arms against his parent, and 01
aged Monarch spent the last ten years of his life inis.f:
prison, to which his ungrateful son had doomed him..., i„a
his death his remains were deposited in the Tage
by the side of his favourite wife. The mu"-,

NEW COMET—(From a Correspondent).
Mr. J. Jennings, of South Pool, Devonshire, disfre°-
vered a comet in the constellation Leo, on Friday, of
14th. The place of its perihelion is in 27 deg. 50
e.
Leo, its hetiocentric motion is retrogade, and e°l-I"it
quently its orbit is inclined towards the north-east Pativ
of the heavens ; its parallax is very small, consequen
the atmosphere must be exceedingly clear to render e
,"
visible to the naked eye. It has a small aPren:Zr
which proceeds from its atmosphere, reflecting the
rays and will disappear in a few evenings.
espatches from the Governor of the Mauri-
tius, and also from the Governor of the Cape °f
Good Hope, were received yesterday at the C"
loniakffice.
