SELECTION OF THE WELLINGTON BIE'MO RIAL FOR MANCHESTER. On Friday afternoon last, the three judges appointed by the Wellington memorial committee—the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Manchester, the Right Hon. the Earl of Ellesmere, and the Right Hon. the Earl of Wilton — proceeded to the suite of rooms forming the south gal lery of the Royal Manchester Institution, which are now filled with the competing models for the Manchester memorial to the late Duke of Wellington, and after a careful examination of the whole, gave their united judgment in favour of the model No. 7, which now faces the visitor on entering the first room of the gallery. On opening the letter superscribed with the sculptor's mark —an inverted triangle with a double ring—the name of the successful artist was found to be Mr. Matthew Noble, of London—the same sculptor upon whom, in competi tion with about 40 other models (not to mention 60 designs on paper), the choice fell in the award of the committee for the Salford statue to Sir Robert Peel, now placed in Peel Park. The following is Mr. Noble's own de scription of his model for a statue of Wellington :—" As there are several public equestrian statues of Wellington in existence already, and as these give only one aspect of the great Duke's character, the endeavour in this design has been to take a higher and more comprehensive view of the subject than is given in memorials of the kind in question. This view, it is hoped, has been realised in representing the Duke in his civil as well as in his mili tary capacity, by personifying those salient qualities and results through which he attained so high a position in life, and influenced the destinies of so many nations ; and by illustrating five of the chief crowning events in his public career, through which, in the twofold capacity named, he will be best and most illustriously known to posterity. The salient qualities referred to are Wisdom and Valour. The pre-eminent manner in which these were brought out in the character of Wellington is too well known to need explanation here, and it is sufficient to state that they are personified in the design by the in etrr trusted, a s t a e n d d , Mars, such i imagined a g a i n w e da way as composed, it is impart to g high and honourable feeling. The results humbly egreat qualities were Victory and Pfieuraee thes oof min d f a M the victory of Britain over her foes, and a peace given to Europe perhaps unparalleled in history. These two main results are personified by an abstract figure of each, designed to correspond and accord :in sentiment with the two former figures. Of the chief events in the public life of Wellington, illus trated in the design, four are represented in bas-reliefs on the large plinth supporting the column, giving re spectively the battle of Assaye, the battle of Waterloo (in each of which the Duke is seen on horseback, and in the first with the horse just shot under him), his pre sence at the Congress at Vienna, and his receiving in person the thanks of the House of Commons, on the memorable occasion in the year 1815. On the summit of the column is placed a colossal statue of the great Duke himself, designed to give an idea of the moment when he stood erect and calm after having delivered the following impressive words in the House of Lords : I am one of those who have probably passed a longer period of my life engaged in war than most men, and principally in civil war ; and I must say this, that if I could avoid, by any sacrifice whatever, even one month of civil war in the country to which I am attached, I would sacrifice my life in order to do it'—words not likely to be soon forgotten. In a small design of this kind there is, of course, little more than a bare idea of the intention given." To this we need only add that Mars or Valour (which in the model is a little too aged) is the figure to the spectator's left, Minerva or Wisdom that to the right. The two rear figures are Peace, behind Minerva ; and Victory dos h dos to Mars. Mars, wearing the antique helmet, is seated on a rock, his right hand upon his oval shield ; his naked sword held in readiness, but at rest in his left hand. The only draping is the chalamys thrown over his shoulders, and fastened on the right by a fibula. Minerva is also helmed, and wears the Agis. She is fully draped, her right arm is raised, and with that hand she points to the inscription on the front of the pedestal. Victory seated, holds the laurel chaplet for the conqueror in her right hand, the palm of triumph in her left. This figure is fully draped, her uncovered head simply bound by a plain fillet. The pedestal is square, canted ; and on its front is the inscription in Egyptian capitals, in relief, "Arthur, Duke of Wellington, born May Ist, 1769 ; Died September 14th, 1852." The four subordinate figures are placed on projecting pedestals, one at each angle of the chief pedestal. These minor pedestals have their fronts slightly convex, as if segments of a circle. On the front of each is the word expressive of the quality typified by the figure above, in the same form of letters as the chief inscrip tion, viz., Valour ; Victory ; Wisdom ; Peace. The whole stands on a graded base of sufficient breadth to add to the general effect ; its upper rise is concaved, and its extent keeps the subordinate figures from being too closely approached by the spectators. Of the bas reliefs, the battle of Assaye is represented on the rear face of the plinth, that of Waterloo, in front ; the Con gress of Vienna, between Mars and Victory, and the Duke in the House of Commons between Minerva and Peace. Mr. Noble has offered a choice of three different models for the statue of Wellington ; one re presenting him in his early prime, a second in middle life, and a third in his later years. The one of middle age is that at present on the pedestal ; over the military coat is thrown a large cloak, which drapes the figure ; but it has too much the character of the Indian chief's blanket ; and we understand that the three judges inclined to a preference for the third or elder age, which represents the Duke in his well-known costume, the left hand just putting back the skirt of his frock, and the broad ribbon crossing his vest. In his right hand he holds some papers; while his cloak, thrown over a pedestal behind him, extends its folds to the feet of the figure, and thus conceals the stiff lines made by the skirt of the frock. He looks slightly down, as if about to address an assembly. There is in this statuette a striking and characteristic resemblance to the Duke, as familiar to thousands during the last 10 or 15 years of his life, and the attitude is less theatrical than that upon the pedestal. We hope it will be substituted. The character of the monument, as a whole, is that of a graceful simplicity, not unmingled with some grandeur of character, breadth and vigour of outlines, and a dignified air of repose, which seems fitting to the statue of the venerated hero. Upon a cursory inspection of the various monumental models in the these rooms, we confess to a feeling of disappointment. Few, very few, strike the eye and arrest the attention by any high development of the mind and thought of the sculptor. The judges must have found their choice speedily narrowed to some three or four designs, and (without the slightest knowledge of the fact) we should think their ultimate decision could only waver between that which became their choice, and the fine model,' No. 3, in the first room ; which is an equestrian statue, upon a sort of sarcophagus tomb, with four pro jecting pedestals at the corners. These have subordi nate figures, and the side panels of the sarcophagus are filled by ireliefs .representing two of Wellington's battle scenes—the decisive moments of Vittoria and Waterloo ; while the front end has emblems of the peace of 1816, and the rear end figures weeping over a tomb, with the inscription "England mourns her hero." The whole is full of vigorous life, and in its breadth of base and general design surpasses the statue selected in point of magnificence and cumulative details. It is, however, limited to the commemoration of Wellington's military achievements, and is therefore less compre hensive in its character, and would doubtless be less acceptable to the Manchester public, than a memo rial which recognises Wellington's services both in the field and the cabinet—in the conclaves of congress and in the halls of the legislature. Still, as a work of art, to No. 3, with its modifying variations as shown in No. 2, where Wellington's baton is exchanged for a sword, and the horse, instead of trampling a richly-adorned tomb, is climbing a rocky eminence—must unquestion ably be assigned the first rank amongst the models exhi bited. If we were to assign a third place to any other models, it would be to Nos. 11 and 33, in the second room (both the work of the same sculptor), which manifest much spirit and character. They are both equestrian statues. Indeed the great majority of the models represent Wellington on horseback—. in every variety of attitude and position—leading on his troops, sword or baton in hand ; riding quietly, as on the Queen's highway ; or trampling Tyranny and Anarchy under foot. One represents the warrior dis mounted and standing in front of his horse ; and it has been discussed whether this could fairly be compre hended within the category of equestrian statues. But we have no space at present to dwell on the numerous statuette models : most of them will be felt by every one possessing the least pretension to taste and judgment as either common-place on the one hand, or absurdly outré and extravagant on the other. We think we have in dicated the only models that could for a moment be held as dangerous competitors to that which has won the prize. There are altogether 37 models in the gallery, sent by 29 sculptors—eight of these sending two models each. There seems to be an impression in some quar ters that the resolution of the public meeting held in September last contained the words " equestrian statue." This is an error. The words were, " a statue to the me mory of the late Duke o f Wellington :" and it was ob served at the meeting that a "statue" would include either equestrian or pedestrian, and even the pedestal on which it must be placed. Amongst the regulations and con ditions for competitors were the following in substance : —That each competitor might send two models, but not more ; in case the statue should not be erected t from e the model possessing the highest fb merit, 'such degree o committee would present the artist contributing tou g ' the best model with 2001. ; but no reward to be b gi ven model if adopted, nor will anything given to unsuc cessfulm e bee to pay 7,0001. to competitors. the successful competitor, which 'cr i sum is to cover every hwehie.rection of the statue in expense connected with t Previously to the decision of bronze, the pedestal, the judges, the statue?tec.models were seen but by very d those on the committee of the few persons indeed— On Saturday, circulars were Wellington memoorrlaty secretary, intimating that the issued by the models for thehtoosntatue of the late Duke of Wellington the inspection of the members of that would to the council of the Royal Institution commitbtee p a e n n d and their families, on Monday and Tuesday, from ten to four availed and durins• those hours on both days many themselves of the opportunity.—M anches ter (Mardian. 74i 2 3 19f TIIE CHOLERA. (Prom the General Board of Health.) DUNDEE. Nov. B.—Cholera, deaths COUPAR ANGUS (N. 8.) Nov. 5 to 9,—Cholera, death SOHAM (CAMBRIDGESHIRE). Nov. 9.—Cholera, deaths 2 Diarrhoea MERTON AND MITCHAM. There have been four attacks of cholera in this dis trict, and three deaths. The fatal cases have run their course with extraordinary rapidity. In two instances death occurred within ten hours from the attack, the patients having been previously in a state of apparent health. In the third instance the man had been slightly ailing for some time, but he was in his usual health the evening before the attack, and slept quietly during the night. About eight a.m. he was rapidly purged five times ; he then went to work, but remained only a short time, and returned home and took some brandy ; he again ventured to go out, but was constrained to come back, and forthwith the alarming symptoms set in, and proved fatal at 11 p.m. He has left a widow and three children. Dr. Milroy, who had been requested to examine into the circumstances connected with these fatal cases, states that the house is a decent and cleanly four-roomed one, in the main road, but that in the rear there is more than one source of insalubrity, which, taken in connexion with the ailing health of the deceased, may fairly be regarded as the predisposing and favouring cause of the attacks. At the end of the short garden behind is an open sewer ditch, which receives the contents of the closets of this and the adjoinin g houses, as well as other sorts of refuse. Th e smell from this ditch is at times very offensive, and it appears that just before the occurrence of this case of ch o l era t h e stench was so great as to in convenience the outside travellers of the coach along the highway, but there i s a worse nuisance nearer to the house,—viz., the stat e o f the closet and the cesspool, with the drains attached. The late heavy rains having filled the ditch, there had been a reflux of the water into these receptacles of odure, stirring up their contents, and causing them partially t o overflow and saturate the earth around with putrescence. Thi s h a d occasioned a most foul smell, not only in the closet it se lf, b ut i n the adjoining washhouse from a sink, and f rom wh i ch there issued a very offensive effluvium, which th e d ecease d had vainly attempted to correct with chloride of lime. The drainage of Mitchem and . Merton is entirely by open ditches, a state of things which is inevitably pro ductive of unwholsomeness in a variety of ways. Until the last twelve months there does not appear to have been an underground sewer in any part of the district. During that period a large brick sewer has been con structed for about a mile and a quarter along the high way, to supersede the open ditch which separates the parish of Merton from that of Wimbledon. This work has been executed by a private company, called the " Church of England Freehold Land Society," under the supervision of the Commissioners Sewers. As yet very few of the houses have drained into the sewer, and there does not appear to be any power to compel land lords to connect their house property by suitable pipe drains with the sewer. Hitherto there has been no connected structural water supply in any part of the district. It is only now that this indispensable free requisite is about to be obtained by the extension of the mains of the Lambeth Water Company. As usual, the domestic conveniences in the lower class of houses are nuisances both to the inmates and their neighbours. For example, three houses fronting the public road have but one common privy, the con tents of which, after heavy rains, overflow into another house in the rear. Great complaints are made by many of the poorer tenants of the exceeding offensiveness of their cesspools, and of their inability to rid themselves of the abominable nuisance in close proximity to their dwellings. In consequence of the quantity of rain of late, the land in most parts is very wet, obstructing vegetation, and at the same time rendering the walls of the cottages damp and unwholesome. A few deep trenches would greatly remedy this evil ; but nothing is done, and everywhere one sees the vegetables rotting on the ground, and the land lying unprofitable for the mere want of a few hours' active work with a spade. Great good would be effected by the resident gentry taking an interest in these matters, and granting small allotments of ground at small rents, on the condition of its improvement, as tested by its increased productiveness.

Although the attendance of buyers was by no means extensive, there was rather more firm ness in the demand than on Monday, and that day's prices were supported. The imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 22,000 quarters. Good red qualities moved off steadily, at full prices • but all other kinds were dull, at late rates. Floating cargoes, the arrivals of which continue small, were quite as dear as last week. Barley, the supply of which was but moderate, sold on former terms. We had a slow sale for malt, but no change took place in the quotations. Oats, beans, peas, and flour were a moderate inquiry, at late rates. Wheat. 1,040 ARRIVALS TIIIS WEEK. Barley.

FATAL SHIPWRECK ON THE GOODWIN SANDS.—A dreadful shipwreck took place on the north sand head of the Goodwin Sands on Tuesday, which resulted in the loss of several lives. The unfortunate vessel was a fine French schooner, named the Elesonore, M. Boom master, bound to Dunkirk from Lulea, with a cargo of tar, iron, and deals. She caught the sands about nine o'clock, and the wind blowing strong at the time, with a heavy sea on, all efforts of the crew failed in getting her off. The boat and loggers; from Ramsgate put off to the rescue of the unfortunate creatures as soon as possible after intelligence of the wreck had been received, but we regret Ito add that owing to the boisterous weather which prevailed, the whole of the poor fellows on board, ' with the exception of the captain and a young man named Le Fevre, a passenger , perished ere any of the craft could get near enoug to rescue them. The pas senger had a most marvellous escape. He contrived to secure himself to an after-piece of the wreck, and so re mained exposed to the fury of the elements the whole night, and was not taken off till about noon on Wed nesday ; he was much exhausted when brought ashore. The vessel speedily commenced to break up, and por tions of her cargo have been picked up and taken in to Ramsgate. None of the bodies have been cast ashore yet. HOME AND COLONIAL SCHOOL SOCIETY, CRAY'S INN-ROAD.----The anniversary of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales's birthday was celebrated in this insti tution by a holiday for both children and students. During the afternoon a great variety of amusements were provided for the children in the spacious play grounds, after Which about 650 children and 170 stu dents took tea, Many appropriate toasts were sweetly sung by the well-trained voices of the children, and exhibitions of dissolving views closed the evening. The pervading sentiment of the whole proceedings was that of devoted loyalty to our beloved Queen, and re spectful admiration of her illustrious Consort, the pa trons of the institution. METROPOLIS. The returns from the divisions D, K, M, P, and S of the Metropolitan Police for the 9th inst. give 18 cases of cholera and 10 deaths. In one house in Devonshire place, Marylebone, three cases occurred, of which two have proved fatal, and the remaining patient is dan gerously ill. With reference to a death that took place at No. 9, Albion-place, Bermondsey, on the ith inst., the police state that the yard of this house is small and close ; the inhabitants complain of offensive smells from a long open ditch running on the south-east side of this place. In front of No. 2, Manor-place, Deptford-road, where a death occurred, there is a drain, the smell from which is very offensive, and at the back of the house three very dirty privies, occasioning much annoyance to the inhabitants. On the 9th inst. Dr. Milroy had an interview with the guardians of the poor of St. George's, Hanover-square, and St. James's, Westminster, to confer with them upon the directions and regulations of the General Board of Health now in force throughout the kingdom, under the existing Order in Council. In the former parish the services of an inspector of nuisances have been employed ever since 1849, and upon his complaint various outward sanitary evils around the dwellings of the poor have been more or less effectually removed. One of the most fruitful sources of disease, especially during an epidemic season like the present, is that arising from the overcrowding of rooms, very gene rally ill-ventilated at the same time. It requires, of course, to have the certified opinion of a medical man before parochial authorities could properly exercise the powers which they now possess over this important matter. The guardians of St. James's have already, upon the certificate of their medical officer, put in force, with advantage, the requirements of the 4th supple mental direction of the General Board of Health, which has reference to the point in question, an order having been granted by the sitting magistrate to carry them into effect. The order in question is as follows : " That where any medical officer engaged in carrying our regulations into execution shall certify in writing that any dwelling-house or room is so overcrowded as to threaten danger to the health of the inmates on the oc currence of cholera, or any epidemic disease, and shall specify in such certificate the number of inmates which shall not be exceeded in such house or room the owner or occupier having the control of such house or room shall forthwith reduce the number of inmates as speci fied in such certificate, notwithstanding any measures that may have been taken to ventilate, purify, or cleanse the house or room." Great complaints were made at the meeting of the guardians of St. George's respecting the present state of the great Ranelagh sewer. The board has recently me morialised the Home-office upon the subject. During last week, independently of five fatal cases of cholera in St. James's, there was a considerable increase both in the frequency and severity of bowel complaints in some districts of the parish. The parochial authorities have therefo re most j udi. ciously appointed extra medical assistants to afford re. lief in all cases of threatened sickness. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. • BIDEFORD EXTENSION. Considerable delay in the progress of the works on this line (the first sod of which was turned in August last) has arisen from the tardiness and formalities of legal occupation of the land required for the undertak ing, and an uncertainty whether or not the works should commence, as originally intended, at the town of Bideford. It has, however, been determined that the works shall be commenced forthwith, at the parish of Fremington, wh en th e l and has been taken and paid for, and the contractor will thus have the advantage of pass ing his plant and materials on the rail as the work pro gresses. MORAYSHIRE. The report of the directors states that the gross re venue for the half-year has amounted to 3,4841., and the expenditure to 1,7601., leaving a surplus of 1,7221.; out of which the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. upon the capital of 29,7001., which will absorb 1,4851., and leave a surplus of 2391. SOUTH WALES. It is understood to be the intention of this company to open the further portion of their line to Haverford west before the end of the month. NEW YORK CENTRAL. The traffic receipts on this line for August were pub lished in the newspapers of New York as amounting to $600,000, and those for September to $700,000 ; whereas, in the first instance, they were only actually $483,000, and in the second only $562,000. It appears that the fictitious value thus given to the stock induced a large number of buyers, in the expectation of a large divi dend per cent., and many thousands of shares were dis posed of by the concocters. SAILING OF THE MARCO POL o , — Shortly aft er two o'clock ° ediesday, the well-known e m i grant ship Marco "p 1 IV sailed for Australia, this ti me under the command of Captain M'Donnell, late chief officer. The scene of her departure was a most exciting one, and amid the music of the band on board, the firing of can non, and the cheers of crowds o f spectators, she was towed gracefully down the river by two steam-tugs, one of which will perhaps accompany her as far as Cork. Mr. Baines, the managing owner, and several other gentlemen went out in her a portion of the voyage down the Channel. Th e M arco Polo carried as muc cargo as she had space for, about 700 souls, and a vast quan tity. of letters and newspapers.

MARTIN-IN -THE-FIELDS.— Yesterday a new institution, designed for the care of tho young children of those inhabitants of St. Martin in-the-Fields whose daily occupations do not admit of their bestowing upon them proper attention, was opened under the active superintendence of the Viscountess Goderich, Mrs. W. E wart Gladstone (the lady of the Chancellor of the Exchequer), Mrs. J. Stuart Wortley (the lady of the Recorder), Mrs. Hyde Parker, Mrs. Sydney Clarke, and several other parishioners. Trained nurses of good character have been engaged, and every effort has been made that the arrangements of the insti tution shall be of such a character as will carry out the benevolent designs of its founders. The Rev. Henry Makenzie, M.A., the vicar, is president ; and the Rev. C. J. D'Oyly, M.A., minister of St. Joh?i's Church, Broad-court, Drury-lane, has taken the office of secre tary of the new institution, which is situate in Green street, Leicester-square, LITERATURE. Fasti Christiaiti ;or Rhymes of the Kalendar. In Six Books. By W. C.I.A. Maclaurin. C. Dolman. Little more can be said of this volume than that it is wonderfully ingenious. Its author, formerly. Dean of Moray and Ross, appears to have been in spired by a singular religious enthusiasm shortly. before his conversion to Catholicism —an enthu siasm somewhat kindred to that which a little earlier called into existence the lives of S. Philip Neri, S. Rose of Lima, and S. Thomas of Villa nova by the Oratorians. In consequence of this peculiar enthusiasm, it is observable that our author, W. C. Augustine Maclaurin, M.A., pre pared for his ethical change by penning these six books of the " Fasti Christiani." His title page reminds us that he has otherwise called the effusion " Rhymes of the Kalendar." Accord ing to the writer's own explanation his plan has been to allot to each day, on the average, about sixteen lines or four elegiac stanzas—introducing somewhere towards their "middle places" (namely, " as they occur when Easter falls on the eighth of April") the various privileged moveable solem nities. Altogether the effusion must be regarded as a genuine curiosity : the result of singular la bour—labour that we cannot but venture to regard as singularly misapplied. For these half-dozen books, so far as we have been enabled to per use them cursorily, d o not anywhere seem to be illu mined by one solitary gleam of poetry, whether of thought or expression. The writer undoubtedly appears to be a man of research, but at the same time . a man in n o wa y g ift e d w ith an ything like brilliancy of imagination. He has contented him self with weaving the legends of the Kalendar into an elaborate but colourless arabesque of versifica tion. It produces the effect of an intricate embroi dery in the same material — or lik e a d raw i ng in Indian ink finished with a p enc il o f D utc h minute ness. As a display of surprising ingenuity the work is alone remarkable, b u t i n this respect it may be regarded as, in a great measure, really ex traordinary. Du Pape. Par M. le Comte Joseph de Maistre. Translated by the Rev. Ewa.% M'D. Dawson. C. Dolman. It were superfluous to allude to the celebrated work here submitt e d to our notice otherwise than in its character as a translation. The original has long since commanded for itself a world-wide nanw in eaen a sd t ripened. peculiarraetasec .re nown—having for upwards of thirty years enjoyed i f hbi fi yitp r s .jeo t tftl a elt p rase p bda e ou a ri r rto a hea n uods c r e eirces in soeouarn i n B ct l thjh fi e - 0 1 it olYrtchhoienoslenladifriniasnner an European reputation. Im mediately in his diplomatic position' as ambassador from the Court of Turin to that of St. Petersburg ' commanded for some years a r are an d i nest i ma bl e opportunity, of which he never f a il e d t o ava i l him self, for examining during his sojourn in Russia many precious stores of old works written in the original Sclavonic. From these forgotten or dis regarded tomes he exhumed an astonishing abun dance of facts illustrative of the argument embodied in his masterpiece. The extent of his erudition may be perceived even by a superficial observer on glancing through the four books of his notable treatise "Du Pape," especial attention being directed to the manifold foot-notes, affording the text the advantages of authentication and embel lishment. English readers have long been familiar with the memorable " Journey Round my Room," by Count Xavier de Maistre. They may now be come acquainted with the chef-d'auvre of his brother, Count Joseph de Maistre, a work of rather more importance, of rather larger attraction, and of rather more extended fame, particularly, as we have said, among the more educated races of the European Continent. Thanks to the Rev. 2Eneas M'D. Dawson, the author of this renowned treatise has obtained the advantage of appearing before Englishmen through the medium of a faithful and perspicuous translation.
