THE WELLINGTON CAMPAIGNS.
The Diorama illustrating the Wellington Campaigns
bids fair to rival in attraction its celebrated predecessor,
" The Overland Route." A series of most interesting
scenes is delineated with admirable artistic skill, and
the lacid comments of the lecturer, Mr. Stocqueler, com-
plete the pleasure afforded by this entertaining and in-
structive exhibition. The most signal triumphs of the
eminent artists engaged, Messrs. Grieve, Telbin.
Absolon, and Alfred Corbould, are the Cathedral
of Burgos, the passage- of the Douro, the field of
Busaco, the triumphal' entry into Madrid, and the
exquisite night scenes of the chapel of Ciudad
Rodrigo, and of the Adour, near Bayonne. The inter eat
attached to the brilliant career of Wellington, the excel-
lent selection of its salient features, and the exquisite skill
with which so many memorable scenes are presented to the
spectator, must render this diorama ono of unrivalled

iopularity. Yesterday the curtains were closed rather
prematurely on one or two occasions, just as the eye
was becoming familiarised to the beauty of the prospect,
and Mr. Stoccineler erroneously informed us that the
Duke was born at Dangan Castle, instead of in Grafton-
street, in Dublin City. These are the only motes we
could detect in one of the most delightful entertain-
ments we have ever assisted at. Let none of our Lon-
don friends—denizens or visitors, omit the inspection of
the " Campaigns of Wellington," at the Gallery of Illus-
tration, or they will lose one of the most genuine treats
of the ►eason.

MR. G. F. YOUNG'S STATISTICS.
TO THE EDITOR OP' THE MORNING CHRONICLE.

Sir,—ln a letter to one of your contemporaries Mr.
Young repeats his assertion (§ 2) that the entries of
wheat and flour for home consumption during the last
year were 6,369.742 quarters, and he refers in proof to
the Trade and Navigation return for the twelve months
ending sth January, 1852. I have consulted that re-
turn, and find that the entries for homo consump-
tion,: during the year 1851, of wheat and flour, were :
Wheat 3,836,834 gm
Ditto Flour, 5,365,179 cwt., at 31 per qr 1,532,908 „

5,369,742 qrs.
Mr. Young has thus overstated the entries by exactly
one million of quarters ! And yet ho is considered by
his party as the supreme authority in statistics, and but
for his health he would no doubt by this time have
given to the public Board of 'Trade returns the figures
of which might not lrss have puzzled the Free-t-aders
than delighted the ProteetioniAL
I remain, Sir., your obedient servant,

COLLIERY EXPLOSION NEAR TV/GAN.
One of those dreadful explosions by which so many
lives are constantly destroyed in coal-mines took place
on Friday afternoon hst, at Pemberton, near Wigan,
Lancashire. The colliery is one belonging to the exe-
cutors of the late Mr. John Daglish, and is called the
Norley-hall E3tate. The snatts are about 160 yards
deep, and the workings to the east extend as far as 750
yards. It was at the extremity of these workings where
the explosion occurred. About 60 workpeople had
descended in the morning, but at noon nearly half of
them had left, leaving* the boys and a few men to load
and get out the coal Zilch 'id been hewn. About half-
past three o'clock in the afternoon some of these boys,
but it is not known which, are believed to have
fi

red the gas, which accumulated in great
quantities in the mine, and a terrific explosion
followed. Mr. Twist', the manager of the mines, was
near the mouth of tho pit, and took a large body of
colliers to search the workings for the dead and
injured, with as little delay as possible. After encoun-
tering great obstruction from the sulphur or after damp,
they brought out daring the evening the bodies of three
persons who had .been killed, and a great number of
others in a state of great suffering from burns. Up to
yesterday ten of the sufferers had died altogether, and 1
eight others were iu a state which left but little hope of
recovery.
The names of the dead era:—Peter Llatlboater, aged
33; Thomas Hitchen, aged 15; Edward Greenall, aged
14; Job!' Lowe, aged 11; Thomas Ashurst, aged 13;
Robert Roby, aged 12. Joseph Ilitchen, aged 11; James

LONDON SOCIETY FOR THE BLIND..--.OD Monday
the annual meeting of the promoters of this charity took
place at the llanover•square Rooms. The Right Rev. Bishop
Carr in the chair (the Earl of Shaftesbury being obliged to
leave the room on public business elsewhere). IL appeared,
from a report Which was read and adopted, that the income
of the society during the past year had exceeded that of
the previous year by 300/.; but extraordinary circumstances
had entailed upon the charity additional expenses, and,
therefore, the money in band was reduced to a lower St"
than might otherwise have been expected. The receipts for
the year had amounted to 1,815/., but owing to the exi;enses
alluded to, the balance remaining in hand was only 87L,
it was, therefore, hoped that the benevolent public would
continue their exertions iu favour of so charitable a cause.

cured of Rheumatism by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
This officer, who is in the Dutch army, states that Holloway's
Pills and Ointment have cured him of rheumatism, which ap-
peared to be incurable, as neither sea bathing, vapour baths,
nor preparations vaunted as sure remedies, did him any good,l
and the treatment of the doctor, after several months' trial,
was without success. At this juncture he commenced taking
these pills, and rubbing the ointment into the "mrilinsr ogf
parts twice a day, which effectually cured him in the

six weeks. The truth of this statement can

CELEBRATION ,OF SHAKSPERE'S
DAY AT STRATFORD-ON-AVON.
Friday fait being the anniversary of the natal day of this
immortal bard, the event was celebrated by a dinner
at that ancient hostelry, the Falcon, where a gratifying
number of tho admirers of the bard, from Birmingham and
elsnwhere, partook of the liberal catering of the landlord
(Mr. d. Ashfield), and, under the able presidentship of
Mr. G. Lineseua Banks., - Sce...._spent the evening in
the temperate but go-o-d
_old-fashioned conviviality not
unworthy orstich a celebration. - The Chairman having
proposed " this Queen,"---" Prince Albert arid the rest- of
the Royal Family,"—"England her religious, political,
and social institutioni," all of which were loyally and
enthusiastically responded to, then rose and addressed
the meeting to the following effect:—
In the annals of English history—in the archives of
all polished nations—in the •vocabulary of thlf' world's
great—in the mighty scroll of time, there. is one name
which, above and beyond all others, stands pre-eminently
noble, pre-cuiluently glorione A name that, for power of
tit teriteee, profundity of knowledge, grandeur of concep-
iion, and euldiinity of thought, has no parallel in the re-.
cords of either ancient or modern times. A name that, for
ta o centuries and a hal!, has been tho pioneer of civilize-
:jun, tle•eunlight of i he nations, a portion of the everlasting
heart of natur- h -rte If. A name that as far transcends
tile
_names of kieg:, and princes, heroes and victors, as
the incorruptible soul does the fragile shell in which
it is encased. A name that has shed a lustre upon
the earth which shall . remain, undiminished by time
or distance, when the proudest monuments of art
and science, and commerce are forgotten. A
name which, in the palaces of the rich, the haile-
d learniur, .the hives of industry, and the cottages of
the poor, is " familiar in our months as household
words." A name, at the shrine, and in the presence of
the majesty of which, our Garricks and Kenibles, our
Bettertona anti Cookes, our Keens and Maeresdies have
knelt down in deep and silent admiration. A name, the
influence of which shall survive " the wreck of matter
and the crush of worlds," and be heard mingling vial
the eternal music of the spheres, when
"'Thee cloud capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces.
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like the baseless fabric of a vision,
Leave not a rack behind."
Need I say, gentlemen, at this time, and in this place.
that the nave--the time-honoured, world-worshipped,
ever-to-be remembered name. to which I allude, is that
of the " immortal William Shakspere?"—(Loud cheers.)
That William Shakspere who, two hundred and sixty
years ago, was taut only "unknown to fortune and to fame,"
but was driven forth from this good town of Stratford-
oa-Avou, by the persecuting spirit of a vindictive jus-
tice of the peace, to find shelter and refuge in menial
employment at the London Globe Theatre.—(Cheers.)
And hero, in submitting the toast which I shall shortly
have the honour to propose, permit me to assure you
that it is no part of my intention to make any consider-
able demand upon your time or patience in e=mbodying
at any length my own personal opinions and feelings.
Indeed, were I inclined to do so, such are the diffi-
culties 1 should have to encounter, such the impedi-
ments to overcome, its to afford tittle, if any encou-
ragement to persevere in the prosecution of what
may not inaptly be termed an almost hopeless task.
When so much has been said. and well said, too, upon
both the man and his writings—when the spirit of 'con-
troversy has broken up every field of inquiry, every
inch of ground in which the analytical ploughshare
might for the hundredth time bo inserted—when cri-
ticism has laid bare, even to the minutest detail,
the construction and qualities, the very marrow,
so to speak, of that vast dramatic genius which, as
a German writer has said, " seems to gather strength
like an Alpine avalanche, at every period of its des-
cent,"—when erudition and research seem to have
discovered every latent beauty, to have explained
away whatever seemed paradoxical, to have brought
every subordinate and undeveloped character into no-
tice, to have surrounded every once-obscure passage
with a bls:a3 of illustration—in abort, when almost
all that could be dune or said to honour the memory
and throw a light upon the character and genius of the
great Bard, has been done and said, it would be a work

of supererogation and an act of folly on my part, more
especially at this time, to push the discussion of the
subject beyond that wide and legitimate boundary,
to which it has already extended. All, there-
fore, that I can with propriety do, is to give a
brief and general assent to those well-known, sound and
graceful opinions and eulogies, which I need not quote,
formed and bestowed by the ablest literary authorities.
And this much, at least, I think, is due from me, as
involving no greater exercise of mind or speech than is
common to the majority of men; and still more so, be-
cause, as Ban Jenson says,—" I Jove the man, and do
honour his memory on this side idolatry, as much as
any"--because, also, I Loam) him to have possessed
one of those bright, far-seeing, catholic and
god-like souls,. which are rarely born into the world, and
when they do cone, are sent, not merely to mould the
character of a dawning literature, and give breath, free-
dom, and vitality to the universal heart, but to show how
near the finite can approach the infinite, the man-made
approximate to the man-Maker. Every age has its
crops of books as of man, and time covers both with dark-
ness. Time dwarfs a nation to the stature of a man—
puts a liter4ture into a volume, a man and a book, until
one great name, one word of power, becomes to us the
only remaining symbol of departt d greatness. In this
sense Greue bad its blind llomer—ltaly its fiery Dante
—Spain its mock-heroic Cervantes—England its Shake-
pere, and later on, sublime John Milton; all men of ex-
alted,enlargcd and wonderful genius, not quite equal, and
yet scarcely inferior to the Stratford peasant. To uses the
voice of the past, the oracle of bygone days, how vast a
word of power is the name of Shakspere! 1u that
greet. calm, placid, lake-like nature of his, undisturbed
by dark, stormful gusts of passion, how gigantic and
distinct .knowtifto fics—vaat rua,.ive yet firaiebad
thoughts are itnaged—w hat exquisite and varied portraits
delineated—what penetrating and sublime truths re-

fleet, d. Frain out that capacious, yet delicately
lot inctl lioazt of hie, which, like en Alolian harp, is tuned
to music by the lightest wind, the softest breath cf
nature, dues there not rise a kind of universal
psalm, not nufit to melee itself' heard among these
sacred ones poured forth by the impassioned soul of
the sweet ginger of Israel!" Turn to any one of his
dramas, products of nature, deep as nature's self,—
and what is it but a large bay window through
which we Mull a glimpse of _the immortal spirit of
