WELLINGTON NONUMEkT. 111 Monday se'nnight, pursuant to public announce. ent, the ceremony took place of laying the Foun dation Stone of the Monument, to be erected on Bl4ckdown MI, in honour of his Grace the Duke of iliThiLiNcroN. _ _ . •- 5m n atter twelve o'clock, the Procession moved from the centre of the town of Wellington, towards the hill. On its arrival at the spot, Lord Soma raLE, accompanied by a numerous party of Gentle men, descended into the area, excavated for the pun. pose of embedding the foundation stone, when his Lordship explained the object of their meeting, in a speech of considerable length. His Lordship read the Inscription proposed to be engraved on the base of the Column, which is as foll..ws " To him, by whose transcendent talents, our gallant, and well Ct::ichniod withers, have in every instance been led to victory, To Am NOR WaLtasf.ar. Duke of Wellington, &c. &c. Gleam is erected ►y his Countrymen, a Monument of that Gratitude and Admiration." (On the south side of the base) " India protected! Assaye." (On the west ditto) " Spain and Portugal reyued I Vimlera, Turres•Vedras, Salamanca, Beak*, %%Gala, &c, dec." (On the north. ditto) • "Republican Tyranny subdued.' Bayonne, houlouse." (On the east ditto) " The Netherlands saved, and Europe delivered— W A I'ERL.OO." _ _ Lord Somaavuxe - tle7l --- continued as follows: " Immediately where the pillar or prism rises from its bass, the breadth of each face of the triangle will be at ell events 20 feet, and the height will be 103 feet, which is 13 feet higher than the celebrated Pompey's Pillar in Egypt. To this height of 103 feet will be added the triangular pedestal, and Colos sal Statue of the Duke of Wellington, which is de signed to decorate its summit. Being cast in pieces, it may at any future period be safely placed on the pillar, should the funds justify such an addition. In the mean time, the pillar, by being thus allowed to bind together and harden, will be more secure to re ceive the superstructure now contemplated. A fur ther elevation of 27 feet may also be added to the Pillar itself, without violating the just proportions of architecture. For general view, the natural advan tages of th e s it ua ti on are pecu li ar ly happy. it proudly marks the line of the hi:ill-ton ; it overhangs the great and direct road through the south-west district of England; no eye can escape it; it will be seen from' sea to sea. There can be but little doubt therefore, that in the course of a very few weeks, the whole of the fundi requisite, in addition to the £1,700 already sobscribed, will be contributed. Ten acres, including the highest part of the Blackdown Hills, overhanging the Vide of Tauotnn, and on which the Pillar is to be erected, are already secured by the sale of that 4 potion of the Common, to defray the expensel Of the enclosure, and stand in my name. I purchased, and low hold them in trust. !ley immediately adjoin Ike Wellington estate, and will prevent future ob struction of the views. Six acres of the ten now held in trust, are to be divided into three allotments by mak fences, with a dwelling attached to each, and will be given for life to three Soldiers, one a native of England, one of Scotiaod. and one of Ireland, ou l condiiion of k ee pi ng t h e Pill ar , an d th e groun d around it, in neat order - and it will be provided, that cued' Limn shall h a ve belonged to the corps of artil lery, who will have in charge the cannon to be used on the annual festival, about to be held in the four acres surrounding the Pillitr. The naming ,of nine Ipersons most fitted for this purpose, according to their merits, to belong to the Comman* is Chief, and the selection of the three persons from tha nine to be long te the Trustees.. At this place, under suitable 1 % 11146 0n% Athletic Feats, characteristic of ensue valour, will be exhibited yearly. One of the prises to be called 44 Shaw's Price," after the celebrated rooper of the Life Guards, killed at Waterloo, who was a native of the county of Devon, and portico lady expert in those exercises. It is probable that this annual exhibition will more tend to perpetuate the memory of those glorious victories, then any other measure, however re fi ned, which could be adopted. It will be held on the 18th of June, being the anni versary of the memorable battle of Waterloo. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has Seen graci ously pleased to sanction the design 1 and :o order a certain number of heavy ordnance, most appropriate for the occasion, to be selected from those either cap tured in the Peninsula or employed there, under the Duke of Wellington, for the purpose of constructing the emblematital ornament Of the base; four brass 12 pounder cannon, taken at the battle of Waterloo, have also been granted,and selected with that promp titude which marks every proceeding of the Board of °Nuance. Their Royal Highnesses, the Dukes of York, Clarence, and Cambridge, have already sub szribed towiro, the erection of the Pillar." - - . Lord Somenr.u.r.s having concluded hit address, his Lordship proceeded to deposit is a tows, famed in the metre of the stoae s coins of every denamitam tion of the present reign s which were enclosed is a thick glass case. Over these a brass plate with a suitable inscription, was placed, with the face.down wards ; and a stone, weighing several hunched weight, was gradually lowered—while the cannon at half minute discharges, accompanied by the acclamations, of upwards of 10,000 persons, who joined in the Na tional Anthem of « GOD save the King," proclaimed the accomplishment of this most intetesting ceremony. On the return of the procession, Lord Somatrirttu, accompanied by nearly 100 Gentlemen of the highest respectability, sat down to an elegant dinner at the White Hart, Sir T. B. LETHBRIDGE. Bart. President. The cloth being remnved,the usual toasts were drank ; and Lord SOMERVILLE, Mr. DICKENSON, Sir T. ACLAND, Sir T. B. LETHBRIDGR, Mr. SANFORD, and Captain CROFTON, (who commanded the Naval Bii gade under Genera Ross, at Baltimore) severally ad dressed the Meeting. The latter Gentleman observed, that the Honourable Member for the County had made a beautiful allusion to that Column, with the pyramids of Egypt. But with the greatest submis sion to his classic taste, he would say the simile fell short of the occasion. In the recesses of those stupen dous fabrics of utertain birth, what do we behold ? inanimate ashes, and the silence of the tomb I—ln the column to the immortal Wellington, our posterity will tell, that it was conceived by British, minds, forwarded by British hearts, and executed by British hands. No vain hieroglyphics to puzzle she researches cf suture antiquarians, will deform its character, but while our language lasts, there will be found a veteran to ex plain the symbol of its three sides, rising in siii.ple and unadorned grandeur. He will exultingly ex claim, one signifies ENGLAND, OM IRELAND. and ano• ther SCOTLAND, while the Hero of them all stands on the point of union !"—(lwactue opldatue.) The company separated about nine o'clock. VERSES ON THE DEATH Of THE HON. HENRY ERsKINE. Why are the harps of mightier bards unstrung, Whose proudeat strains were graced in sounding here; Aud why, eh ! Eastina is thy requiem sung, In verse less glorious than thy bright career ? In verse that needs thy sane to bid It live With borrow'd lame, no verse to thee can give 1 And yet, how bootless Weft of thee to speak, Unless to tell of theirs and icotia's pain, Since all who knew thee know too well bow weak Were learning's laud, or fancy's fondest strain: Bow weak were all bat language like thine own, And who is left that beasts its magic tone I Mute be the muse; the tongues of all will tell, With tusy kindness, twat" the eye is closed Which spike persuasion whersaer it fell, Ere its sweet wile the silver tongue diseleed, And hush'd those words which seetn'd, to feisty nigh, To drop like stars from an o'ercrowded Sky ! " And cold the heart whisk kindled every word, Or raised in justice or in free.lom's cause, Or gaily sparkling at the social board, Where thou weet still the light of all that was; And still shall be, as setting suns that wake Their moonlight memory o'er the Light they make. " That thine the praise, the greatest, to preserve. Theo' every change—unebaned thy patriot creed; Thins I the Arse honours more than to deserve, And leee...sinos given as party's hireling mend." And who would change thy pure, self.earn'd renown, To lick corruption, for a robe, or Crown? There be, of giant power, and giant deed, Shall Want a tear their blighted sod to steep; But oft shall crowds, admiring crowds, succeed By thine to linger, and applaud, and weep. lisseculpturl marble need shy sto►y hear, Enough for fetus, this Eaglet:fee buried there; Edinburgh, 034 October, 1817.

At the trial before Lord Ellenborough, in dse Sittings atter Hilary Term, the plaintiff was nonsuited, with liberty to mum to set aide the noosuit. The•case was the, the defendant was a fure;gn merchant, resiJing At Riga, in Russia. He had come to this country for the purpose of making purchases for the foreign market, and having letters of recom mendation to Mr. Seynairur, a British merchant, he empl.,yed the latter to make the necessary purchases, he agreeing to pay for the goods by his own aceep. cancel, at six months, and stipulating that the defen dant should pay him twn per cent. on she principle of a del et-dere commission.

This defendant syss convicted at the lag Warwick shire General Qoarter Sessions ut the Peace lor a fraud, on two several indictments, and sent: need to seven years' transportation. It appeared on the triAr., that the defendant had some time ago resided at ilenley-in-Arden, in War wickshire, and been occasionally employed in obtain. ing prize and bounty money for the relatives of de ceased William Hollyoabe and Thomas Vincent, two poor labouring men, residing in Warwickshire, having each a son in the army, applied to the Jrtendant to procure weir discharges, and he accordingly wroie letter, in each case, to nis Royal Highness the Duke of York, as Commander in -Chief, sunciting their charges ; which appiications he was prom: sly and decisively informed could not be granted. Notwith standing which, the defendant, by Nisi) , pretending that in the one case he had been to London to the Duke of York's office, and had paid 420 for the digs charge or the soldi.r, in addition to AV isitich he had begot obtained from the patents, and bad actually been the soldier's discharge signed and sent off to Ire land ; and, in the other case, that he had obtained an order for the soldier's discharge, on payment of re2t). and other false pretences, obtained from the indigent parents of one of the soldiers Al% and of the other sr27, and applied those sums to his own use. But, besides the frauds he so committed, he had cast the grossest imputations OR the clerks iii the of lice. of his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chicl e and the &lot:on-General of his Majesty's forces, by falsely pretending, and inducing the soldiers' pares* to believe, that in order to obtain their objects. it was necessary to bribe those clerks, and that he had ae. wally remitted sums for that purpose; whereas no correspondence whatever had taken place between him and any clerk in those offices; nor had he paid Any stun whatever to airy of them. When the Dividends are in course of payment. the Bank of England, the demand for Lottery Tickets is invariably brisk, as many deter their Purchases to that time in order to bi 1 two birds with one :lase; b itt it is more particularly the case at present, as may be supposed, irom the irresistible attraction of the Sts Prizes of ii 20,00% and from the number of Prizes exceeding that of the Blanks, whilst many of theistic? will have a second Chance by being eu•drawn, acc 1 2914- ding to Mr. Siviswacrice's improved Plan.
