Wolverhampton Steeplechases are postponed until

further postponement necessary, the meeting will take
place on the first succeeding Monday on which the wea-
ther may prove favourable.

A picture of the greatest possible interest has just
been added to the Wellington Room a►t Madame Tus-
raud's establishment. This picture represents the Duke
of Wellington viewing the wax effigy of the Emperor
Napoleon as he appeared on his death-bed at St. He-
lena.. The duke appears slightly bending over the sup-
posed remains, with his at off, as he actually stood
when viewing the mighty dead. The figure of his grace
is full of interest, and is, we understand, the last por-
trait the duke sat for—a voluntary offer on his part to
the artist, Sir George Hayter, when hearing the subject
on which Sir George was employed, a subject so inte-
resting in a historical point as portraits of the two
greatest generals of the age. As a picture, the execu-
tion and colouring are admirable ; many of the details
are full of interest—as that of the broken staff of the
standard, surmounted by the eagle, the favourite badge
of Napoleon, tells a tale of woe, and such a sure type of
his desolate death on the rock of the ocean ; yet, won-
derful to relate, has left a scion of his house who has
risen like a Phcenix from his ashes to astonish tho
world. This picture has lately been engraved by Mr.
J. Scott for the eminent printsellers in Pall-Mall, Messrs.
Graves and Co.
