COSMORAMA ROOMS (ROOM 7), 209, REGENT-

STREET.

THE IVORY MODEL OF' THE TAGE MURAL,
or Crown of Edifices, at AGRA, in the East Indies.
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 Tags
Muhal, one of the most remarkable edifices in modern Agra,
erected in 16.50 by Khan Shah Jehan, the fifth Great Mogul,
as the cemetery of his favourite wife, Sultana Mehd Attys.
This mausoleum is built entirely of white marble, ant some
,dea may be formed of its splendour, when it is stated to have
cost in its erection 60 lam 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
minuteness of detail and delicate manipulation for which Indian
ivory working is so noted. The amount of labour bestowed on
this model must have been immense. It is not the hastypro-
duct of a day,' but the result of many years' patient applica-
tion. All the multitudinous carvings and inlayings of the ori-
ginal building are expressed in the copy with every appearance
of 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-
sitely and elaborately worked. On the whole, this model pre-
sents a surprising and beautiful effect, and forms one of the
most interesting exhibitions in the metropolis. —Morn. Chron.

LONDON
WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 12, 1842.

The Tories are struggling with might and
main to prevent the return of Lord MORPETH
for the Irish metropolis. They parade the amount
of the sums which they are prepared to spend
in bribery and corruption. The Standard says
that a more fitting candidate than Mr. GRE-
GORY cannot be found, which, of course,
means that no other Tory is disposed to spend
more than 4,0001. sterling for a seat for Dublin
in the House of Commons. The Carlton Club
in. ready to advance 2,000/., and with 2,0001.
more, Mr. GREGORY feels assured that he could
buy a working majority of the old Dublin free-
- men. But should Mr. GREGORY take fright at
the idea of risking 4,0001., the saintly Standard
recommends the Tories to put another Tory in
nomination, and that the Protestant Conserva-
tives of England will supply the needful. There
is no attempt made to disguise the corrupt influ-
ences which are to be set at work by the Tories.
The Parson's Paper is for sparing uo expense
to promote perjury in Dublin. Pious Protestant
gold is to be expended in the purchase of Irish
souls for SATAN. But bad as this is, it is not bad
enough for the Standard. The bump of lying
was never surely so strongly developed as upon
the brazen front of our Contemporary. We know
not which to abhor most, the falsehood or the
baseness of the following foul attack upon the
character of Lord MORPETH :
The women of this island remember their debt to the
individual 11,4 whom the battle is really to be fought, and
Niii6r
+l4kAU*.forget that, even very lately, his nominee
iti.-Dvbitn7"-*n 't e present occasion, repeated the foul
1: -Ilan* iDflhei . etched libeller. The women of Great
13riffii*otte'ii ' subscribe one hundred-fold the neees-
saiti: . ,
NOW :!theiii or upon what occasion, was the

14-

high-minded, generous-hearted nobleman here
lyingly alluded to, ever heard to cast a reflection
upon the character of the fair sex of this or any
other country ? Lord MORPETH repeat the slan-
der of the libeller of his countrywomen ! Never.
If England has produced a man who would be
the last of all others to utter a disparaging word
of women, that man is undoubtedly Lord I‘lol
PETH. And as to the repetition of the stale,
thread-bare calumny about Mr. O'CoNNELL, it
is enough that that gentleman solemnly declared
in our hearing, and that of hundreds besides,
in the House of Commons, that he never
uttered the words attributed to him reflecting
upon the chastity of Englishwomen, to justify
any gentleman, or public writer, having a due
regard to his own character, to treat it with
silent contempt.

With a view to cool the ardour of the Libe-
rals, the Tories pretend that, if elected, Lord
MORPETH would not accept the representation
of Dublin. We believe this to be altogether
untrue: Lord MORPETH must entertain too high
a sense of the honour done him by the Irish
metropolis, to dream for an instant of declining
it. Were his Lordship asked to put himself
• ,
forward as a candidate for the representation of
Dublin, very possibly he might refuse ; but it is
quire another thing to be returned unasked as a
Member for that city. So far as concerns the
best interests of the Irish electors, it would be
impossible for them to select a better, or more
influential and judicious representative than the
Noble Lord who so recently and so praisewor-
thily filled the office of Secretary for Ireland.

We do not agree with our Contemporaries
who find fault with the Ministers for admitting
the sham deputation of the Short Time Com-
mittee to their presence. On the contrary, we
hail with pleasure every deference which they,
as the representatives of the aristocratic faction,
show to the working classes, and trust the good
example will be followed in other cases. It is a
proof of the growing power of the democracy,
and an assurance that, whenever it is united and
resolved, the aristocracy will not only listen to
its prayers, but run to obey its commands.
After such humility, the. Ministers cannot,
without the imputation of partiality, refuse to
see deputations from the besieged and starving
people of .Bolton, from the decaying spinners of
Manchester, from the perishing hand-loom
weavers of Carlisle, from the remnant of the
once flourishing Stockport, from the real opera-
tives of Leeds, from the alms-nourished spectres
of Paisley, and from all the other starving and
suffering bodies in the community, not excluding
the down-stricken agricultural labourers, whose
wages have lately been reduced in several places
front 103. to Bs. a week. Encouraged by the
condescension of the Ministers, who profess
great anxiety to learn from the unrepresented
operatives the true state of the country, and
their opinions of the causes of the general dis-
tress, we are disposed to advise all these bodies,
if they can possibly raise the funds, to send up
deputations of two or three persons to lay their
case before the Ministers. If they can only
procure an introduction from some Tory Mem-
ber, they will be admitted into the presence of
the man with a heart, who is now Prime Minis-
ter; and if his be a human heart, their tale of
woe will fill him with sorrow and with shame.
He may not, like JUDAS, hang himself, after
hearing the harrowing evidence of his own mis-
deeds, but he will not be able to escape the con-
viction that, where JUDAS betrayed one to death,
he has betrayed thousands.
That the Ministers were deceived in the cha-
racter and authority of the deputation intro-
dueed by the Tory Member for Leeds, is no
fault of theirs, except that it is another proof of
their profound ignorance of what concerns the
people. They admitted the Tory-trumpeted
deputation to their presence to lessen their igno-
rance, and are not to be blamed for the deceit of
others. How could they know, unless Mr.
BECKETT should have been so indiscreet, as to
blurter it out, that the scheme was devised, as is
said, by Mr. OASTLER, who is also said to have
drawn up the reports, and is believed to have
handed them to the Times, seeing that Mr.
OASTLER was then, and is now, a prisoner in the
Fleet ?

How should Ministers know that the persons
who presumed to intrude into their presence,
led by Mr. BECKETT, were, as the Morn-
ing Chronicle says, " a knot of subordinate
Socialists and Chartists l" How should they
know, as they have ever. turned aside
with horror from Owenism, that Mr. G. A.
FLEMING and Mr. JOSHUA HOBSON were the
doubles ofMr.OwEN and Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR,
the former having been the editor of a Socialist
newspaper, and the latter Mr. O'CoNNon's
Leeds publisher ? How should the aristocratic
RICHARD PLANTAGENET, Duke of Buckingham,
or the father-in-law of Viscount VILLIERS,
know whether MARK CRABTREE were or were
not an ex-door-keeper of the National Conven-
tion, an agitator against the Poor-law, and a
partisan of Mr. WALTER at Nottingham ? How
should they know who is Mr. LEACH or Mr.
TITUS BROOKE, or whether they lived in London
or Yorkshire ? The character given to these
persons by the Morning Chronicle, in an article
which we copy, and also given by the Man-
chester Guardian, in an article which we in-
serted in The Sun on Monday, was probably not
known to the Ministers, whatever might have
been the knowledge possessed by Mr. BECKETT.
He is answerable for having betrayed them into
giving a cordial reception to a "knot of subordi-
nate Socialists and Chartists."
He is not answerable for Sir JAMES GRAHAM
not having spurned the deputation from his pre-
sence when it propounded a new appropriation
of manors-and Grown lands. He is not answer-
able fur the cordial apprObatiOn given to Socialist
doctrines by the Duke of BUCKINGHAM—for his
proffer of service, and for his calling the pious
Lord ASHLEY the friend of Mr.. FLEMING, Mr.
llousox,:nnd Mr. CAILISTIME. He 'is not an-
swerable for Sir ROBERT PEEL denouncing ma-
chinery, while he held down his head to conceal
his tears at the recollection of wealth acquired
by the toil of children in his father's mills; or
for Mr. GLADSTONE speaking of the Socialist
views as " some of the gravest matters which could
be submitted to the deliberations of the Cabinet."
Mr. BECKETT is only answerable for the deceit
practised on'his friends by representing these
men as a deputation from any numerous and
respectable body, and they are answerable for
the encouragment they are reported to have
given to the silly views of ignorant and mis-
chievous would-be law-makers.

There is another party much to blame, we
think, in this whole matter. Though the reports,
as published, are not yet denied by the Minis-
ters, it is certain that they are coloured, not to
say distorted; and equally certain that the depu-
tation was, in truth, a f'raud. Now, there can be
no doubt that these circumstances, and all ,the
circumstances connected with the getting up the
reports, were known to those who published
them. In the columns of the cautious Times,
which will never send forth a statement without
having the name of its author, these reports first
appeared; that journal, therefore, knows the
whole history of them. But they are a fraud on
the public ; and we charge the Times with being
cognizant of the fraud. Who else may be a
party to it, we know not. The Chronicle says,
Mr. OASTLER; and as that gentleman has been a
coadjutor of the Times, he may have been con-
cerned in foisting the fictitious statements of a
sham deputation on the public as genuine
" chapters in our social history." But with the
Times, so far as the public is now aware, rests the
guilt of palming on the public, as a true account,
this literary and historical fraud.
