PROPOSED STATUE OF PRINCE ALBERT IN

HYDE-PARK.

Our readers will perceive from the following letter
from the Lord Mayor, that the citizens are up and doing
for the purpose of erecting a statue to Prince Albert in
the City :---

have recently had the honour to suggest 1,
national tribute of admiration and respect to his Roya.
Highness Prince Albert as the originator of the Greai
Exhibition of 1851.

It is proposed to erect, on some part of the site of the
Great Exhibition, a monument of which the principal
figure should be that of his royal highness, as a memo-
rial illustrative of that great event, and at the same time
as an evidence of the gratitude of the British nation for
the eminent services rendered upon that occasion by the
consort of our beloved Queen to the commercial and in-
dustrial interests of the community.
The project has hitherto met with unanimous appro-
bation. The support I have already received appears
to render success certain ; but my great anxiety is, that
the movement should he of a general and popular cha-
racter. May 1, therefore, take the liberty of asking you
to inform me at your earliest convenience whether you
concur in the movement, and if so, to whatextent I may
count on your support ?

I take the libei:Cy of annexing a few of the names of
the noblemen and gentlemen from whom I have received
promises of support.-I am yours faithfully,
Mansion House, Oct. 15. THOMAS CHALLIS.
