THE IVORY MODEL OF THE TAGE MUH AL,

6' 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 'fage
Muhal, one of the most remarkable edifices in modern Agra,
erected in 1650 by Khan Shah Jehan, the fifth Great Mogul.

This mausoleum is built entirely of white marble, ant some

cost in its erection 60 hies of rupees, or 75C,0001 The Model
occupies a space 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

of exactness; nor is the resemblance limited to the outside
alone : the interior is also finished in the same minute style.

tion." " They grow up in total ignorance of all the true Ste., were enfran"b
duties of women. ' " they are totally unfitted to attend I
to the care of home or to participate in its employments."
" They neither learn, in the majority of instances, to
make a shirt, darn a stocking, cook a dinner, nor clean a
house." " The system is an inversion of the order of
nature and Providenee." " Disaffection and discontent
must be engendered amongst parties so situated."
" Throughout the tanuta.entring districts mills are
nearly closed. The capitalist and middle classes are in
difficulties—insolvent or bankrupt ; while the operatives
are in a state of destitution which must make every heart
bleed, and which arises from, causes over which they
themselves have no control. As a proof that we are not
overstating the facts, we beg to present you, Sir Robert,
with one illustration of many which might be offered.
It is a printed copy of the Report of the Unemployed
Operatives' Enumeration Committee of Leeds, in which
a detailed statement of the condition of the operatives in
the several wards of that town, the emporium of the
woollen district, is given. The summary of that ap-
palling statement is, that nearly 20,000 human beings
are now living upon an average weekly income of 11,-std.
per head. We leave to your own judgment what must be
the ultimate end of such a state of things."
They told Sir JAMES GRAHAM, on the 28th of
•October, that our ascendancy in foreign markets
could not be maintained by
" Reducing much lower the wages of the adult
operatives. That class of labourers were as near the
hare `subsistence level,' when in full employ, as it was
possible to place them. . . . . You have just these
alternatives—either to commence this measure (a sys-
tem of home colonization) now gradually and peaceably,
and thus avert the evils we have been anticipating, or to
let the present system take its course, spreading destitu-
tion, pauperism, discontent, and disaffection, more
and more widely, until it terminates in general disorga
nization and anarchy, and then to be forced to begin de
novo' amid the wrecks of former institutions The
humble comforts of the operative's cottage have disap-
peared. The middle class of tradesmen, who depend
upon the lower classes, are in all but an insolvent state,
and trade is concentrated in the hands of a few over-
grown capitalists, in consequence of the inability of
smaller capitalists to contend with them. Such is the
state of our towns at the present moment. We have
given you our reasons for believing that this
increase of our foreign trade under the present system
would permanently increase neither wages nor profits,
nor arrest their downward tendencies ; and we leave to
you the consideration of these reasons.
Upwards of two months ago, therefore, was
the terrible condition of the operative classes
clearly and emphatically brought under the no-
tice of these two leading Ministers. What have
they done to amend or relieve it ? Nothing,
absolutely nothing. They have journeyed from
Windsor to London, and from London to Tam-
worth ; they have dined and spouted at Dor-
chester; they have raised their own rents; but
they have left the people a prey to this deep
distress, and they have allowed the system to run
on—they have even accelerated its progress—
whiclt dooms the people to this distress, and
which threatens such disasters.
We do not suppose that the members of the
Short Time Committee, who ascribe their suffer-
ings to the employment of machinery, are any
more to be relied on in tracing out the
cause of distress than in suggesting its cure. It
has been more than once proved in The Sun that
the use of machinery has very much increased
manual employment. Every new machine, in
fact, is the creation of a new art or a new trade,
and increases the sum of employment. We do
not blame the Ministers, therefore, for not be-
lieving that the distress of the operatives was
caused by the use of machinery, nor do we blame
them for not acceding to the recommendations of
the Short Time Committee as to the means of
cure; but we blame them—knowing as
they must, otherwise they are the merest
quacks and humbugs that ever assumed the
name of statesmen, the real causes of dis-
tress, and knowing as they must;the means of
cure, or the Tamworth Doctor and his friends
take very large fees for performing that which
they must then admit they cannot perform,—we
blame them with all the energy at our com-
mand for allowing two precious months to elapse,*
when the severity of the season must enhance
the sufferings of the people, without using the
smallest exertions to relieve their great distress.
The Ministers might have allowed the f'ree itn-
portation of food by order of Council which
would set the mills to work, as well as re-
duce the price of bread, but that would
have lowered rents, and that rents may be
kept up, the people are doomed by the Tories to
remain e prey to poverty, famine, and despair.

The remedies suggested by the Short Time
Committee are also indicative of ff t eri
great - • great suffering-,
They ask the Legislature, which has never
meddled with trade • but to injure it, to restrict
the hours of work. Surely they can and ought to
do that for themselves. Let them say that they
trill not work more than eight hours a day if
they like, and we apprehend the law will not
compel them to work more. They also ask.ed
ftr the repeal of the new Poor-law, which they
told Sir R. PEEL was now inoperative, and never
could be carried into operation in the manufac-
turing districts. To Sir JAMES GRAHAM they
recommended—
" The adoption of a comprehensive and efficient plan of
home colonization; for which purpose we would advise
the passing, at the expense of the nation, of a General
Waste Land Enclosure Bill, which should make provi-
sion for reasonable compensation to all those interested
in these lands. We should then have a Parliamentary
grant raised by loan, or by Exchequer bills, to be applied
under a Board of Control to the settling down upon these
uncultivated but improvable wastes our now unemployed
population; and if the waste lands were insufficient we
would recommend that the Government should have re-
course to the Crown lands for the same purpose and in
the same way. This would increase real wealth at home,
direct the energies of the people in the first place to pro-
vide food and shelter for themselves, and the surplus of
their labour would form a fund for defraying the neces-
sary expenses, and ultimately repaying the principal
advanced.
" Sir J. Graham—Ah I that might do very well if we
were beginning de novo, but under present circumstances
seems quite impracticable."
Sir JAMES does not like the notion of squatting
on the landlords' manors, and on the Crown pos-
sessions. If that were to begin, and if home
colonization were to be promoted by the issue of
Exchequer bills, Sir JAMES knows that the
parks at Netherby and. Stowe, and even Windsor
Parks, which are Crown lands, and admirable
adapted for cultivation, would soon be required
to feed the increasing population, if it had to be

The official columns of the Moniteur of Sun-
day are filled with the New Year's-day Ad-
dresses presented to the King of the FRENCII,
with the answers of his MAJESTY thereto.. The
main subject of most of these is, GOD knows, as
hacknied as it is deplorable. They have, for the
most part, but this burthen :—That all who ap'
proach the foot of the throne are rejoiced thst,,'i,
he who sits upon it has passed another year''i.b
without being assassinated, in which sentiment ,g
the KING of course cordially joins. The diplor ,(1
matic body has always, as its organ, the 01de4,,
.Ambassador, and accordingly, on this oecasion
the Marquis de BRIGNOLE SALE, the Sardinianl:fi.,/
Envoy, read the Address to his MAJESTY. Apartcy
from congratulations on the escape of the Kirroi,,
and the Royal Princes, it merely contains the,;l:
following allusion to the Treaty of the Great 4:::
Powers :—‘, This year has also seen the union of
the Cabinets more closely together—an union
necessary for the repose of the people and the'
preservation of peace." There is no error on the ,
side of frankness in such a diplomatic cony
mon-place as this. The KING, in his answer,
more explicit. His MAJESTY says :—" The year

Cabinets afford by their accord a fresh pledge of
general peace, and I have the . confidence tha
we shall preserve it from every assault."
reciprocate this benevolent wish. After twentil
six years of peace, Europe never stood more ill,
need of its continuance than now, and sever,
recent acts of the French Government prove the
I wishes of the KING to be sincere. The Addreo.•
of the Peers is less commonplace than usual;
probably because it was written as well as red
by the Duke DE BRoGLIE, who aims at the repo'
tation of a philosopher. Why Baron PAsQuall
had not such a task assigned him we cannot tell'
We quote this Address :
Sire,—To found a free and regular Government is
laborious work. The wisdom of Princes, the interest °
the people, and the enlightened vigilance of the pubh,e
powers do not alone suffice for it. The protection of G°' '
is also necessary, and the help of time. What man he:,
gins time alone completes and strengthens. We bledi,'
this new year, which has just increased the number e•
the years that your reign already comprises. We real,
thanks to Him, whose goodness has preserved your
for us, and preserved your children for our children. Th_l
past is a guarantee to us for the future. We have a gou"
cause, and we shall have good success. There is nothing,
moreover, in the aspect of the times which seems to I°'
nounce fresh storms, and nothing interdicts us from the
joys and hopes of such a day as this. To-morrow Ae
shall resume our labours, and this day we are bearers t°
' you of the good wishes of France.
To which the KING replies :
It was, as you state, a laborious work to found •
France a free and regular Government The suppe.crs
that I have always found in the Chamber of Peers 117
been ono of the greatest means at arriving at this
This Government will receive by its duration that con.
secretion of stability which, by discouraging the tactical,
will finish by confirming, on authority, the necessta
rigour to maintain the laws, to cause the rights of all to
be respected, and to repress those incessant attacks ea
property which might shake society to its very foundo:
tion. The noble attitude of the Chamber of Peers out
s•':
to inspire salutary confidence that the throne to whte:,
France has raised me, for the guarantee of her' 19,7,"
and of her liberties, cannot be attacked by these raiSe;''
rable attempts, and that we shall continue to disconceU,
the guilty secret practices of those who turn to account °
credulous ignorance to accredit the success of their.'
sinister projects.
Had any foreign representative body dared to
apply such language to France, as is here a 47,..,
dressed to her by the Court of Peers and
KING, whata shout of execration would be raises
from Brest to Strasburg, and from Dunkirk
Toulon! What a'fury would seize the Press! Hew
the Deputies would storm! and how the 'cry of
"To arms, and crush the foul libeller of chi y
most civilized people in the world, would resoan', 4
throughout France I It is wholesome
people sometimes to know what their friendS, J
think of them, and France may not be
worse for learning what is thought of hell9f
boasted civilization by her KING and her Chaff";,
ber of Peers. The Address of the Deputies is Atif
sort of congratulatory political hodge-podoo
framed on the model of an answer to a Speeel3/
from the Throne. It really looks as if every
member of the Comtnittee concocted a para.'
rapli to suit his own views. We quote it, as .0
curiosity of its kind:—
In offering our felicities to your Majesty, the Chain,
her of Deputies includes in the same wishes the future °f
the he constitutional throne and public prosperity.
The country, Sire, comprehends this binding together,
the enemies of social order understand it also when the,' •
undertake to strike civilisation itself, now by royalty'
and by the dearest hopes of the dynasly.
Their efforts will be vain. The arm of Providence 19
more indefatigable than crimes, and society is stronger
than the conspiracies. The entire nation repulses the-2
with horror, and the labouring classes, which it is At-
tempted to mislead, are neither the last nor tie least to

terested to curse them.
It is because they know, Sire, that order is profitoblde
tor all citizens, and that the weakest are certain to fini
amongst the greatest powers of the State that pater
solicitude which was always the sentiment of go-
d

Kings and of enlightened Go;ernments.
France can also recta with joy the moral improve'
ments realised in a few years ; the abolition of lotteries'
the suppression of public gaming tables, the foundatio"e
of savings' banks, the refuge for the destitute, and til
regulation of the factories for children, and primary in:
struction, organised on a vast scale, the ways opened i"
labour and intelligence, in fact opened everywhere.
Labour, Sire, is honoured everywhere in this cooll..
try:—The authority of religion, which consecrates it by
its divine moral ; our institutions of legal equality, f
conservatism, and of progress, so well calculated
