TALLOW MARKET.

p. y, C., owing to the short stock, has advanced to 49s 9d. both ways.
COLONIAL MARKETS.

The sales of Colonial produce are marked this week, by announce-
ments of a very large quantity of Raw Sugar, more so than in fact has
been the case for months. To. day we had sales of 12,199 bags Mauri-
tius Sugar, 139 hhds. new Barbadoes, and 1,100 bags Bengal, duty
paid. Although there was this great quantity, and also large quantities
for other days of the week, the market was not heavy, all things consi-
dered ; but owing to the large amount prices were afflxted, and must be
quoted as drooping. Rice, 1,500 bags of East India, sold briskly at prices
looking up. The only sale of Coffee today was one of 30 bales of Mocha,
fetched former rates. There are no buyers of Foreign Coffee 4 Is. although 2
cnrgees have been offered at that price. Saltpetre, 1,000 bags sold at steady
prices. There were also some few sales of Spices, but they were too
trifling to affect the market. Nothing whatever like speculation in any
kind of Colonial Produce makes its appearance. All the business done
is bona fide, and for consumption. For to-morrow we have public
sales of 4,400 bags Manilla Sugar ; 150 Lhds., new Barbadoes, 2,200
bags Mauritius, 1,500 bags Bengal, 200 bags and 170 casks of British
Plantation Coffee, some Pimento, Pepper, and Ginger. The imports of
Colonial Produce are now heavy.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 11.
There was only a small enquiry for Cotton to-day ; still we cannot
quote any decided reduction in prices, but should the demand continue
(Inlet for two or three weeks, it is very probable that middling qualities
decline in value slightly. 2,500 bags form the total sale. 100

Mr. CHOKER—With respect to the drawing alluded to, by his Royal
Highness, he begged to say, that as soon as he had thought of putting,
the statute on the triumphal arch, he immediately applied to the archi-
tect who had built it, Mr. Burton, to know whether it was originally in-
tended, or was in fact sufficient, to bear a statute. Mr. Burton informed
him that it was built with a view of carrying a large group, and of course,
was fully equal to carrying a statue; and in consequence of this he had,
with Mr. Burton's assistance, prepared the drawing of the arch, sur-
mounted by an equestrian statue, which he submitted to the meeting.
The drawing of the statute (at they then saw it) would of course go for
nothing—it was a mere sketch. They must imagine that they had the
finest statute, both of man and horse, the talent of the country could
produce. The drawing which he had ventured to prepare was only
meant to convey a general idea how the thing would look.
The CHAIRMAN observed that the Committee were obliged to Mr.
Croker for the trouble he had taken in obtaining the drawing for them,
and the information be had likewise given them. The resolution was
" That, in the opinion of the Committee, an equestrian statue of the
Duke of Wellington would be the most suitable mode of carrying the
object of the subscribers into effect." He did not know that of his own
personal knowledge, but he believed if his Grace was asked himself
—(Hear, hear)—he would give his opinioa in favour of an clues_
trian statue.

Lord LY•renocll said, if such was the opinion of his Grace the Duke
of Wellington, it would go far to settle the question ; but as the sub-
scriptions amounted to so large a sum, he was in hopes some greater
monument than that might have been brought forward.
The Duke of CAMBRIME—The great difficulty in all these matters
was the finding a suitable spot where a statue could be placed.
The CHAIRMAN said, that while they were upon the subject, it was
his duty to state to the committee that some time since he had re-
ceived a letter from Sir Henry Fane, who having subscribed to this
obj:ct, had also in his letter ftated his opinion es to the species of me.
morial which should be adopted, and if the committee wished it, he
would read the letter. It was dated Delhi, December 10, I 537, of
which the following is an extract :

" My dear Lord Duke,—l am writing from the city of Delhi, the
ancient capital of some of the greateq monarchs of the east. A short
distance from this place stands `the Cootub INlinar,' the most celebrated
and beautiful structure of the kind in Asia, and I believe far sur-
passing any pillar in Europe. It is the admiration of the people who
see it.

" The country in which the Cootub Minar is situate, and Delhi
itself, were won from the Mahrattas ; and nobody had so large a share
in the conquest of the Mahrattas empire as the Duke of Wellington.
What then could be more appropriate to convey to posterity the deeds
of his Grace than an imitation of this celebrated pillar
" I have to add that my proposition would be to imitate the Cootub
Minar in all its dimensions and ornaments, up to the finish of the third
circular gallery, and to terminate the building at that height, sur.
mounting it with a fine group of military trophies.
"The ground for this proposition is, that seeing the effect where the
original stands, I think the termination of the building where I have
srggested would have an admirable appearance; and moreover, I deem
the two higher compartments (the 4th and sth) to be much inferior in
beauty to those below them ; so much so, that I doubt them to be from
the plan of the original architect. They give too much the appearance
of a lighthouse.

" I have the honour to be,
" My dear Lord Duke, your faithful servant,
" H. FAKE, General.
"To his Grace the Duke of Rutland, K. G., &c."
The Duke of CAmnatoor, in observing upon the letter, stated that
Sir Charles Metcalfe had not arrived, and that therefore the model of
the pillar:alluded to in the letter could not be submitted to the Committee
until he arrived.

Sir J. IL CARNAC, late chairman of the Fist India Company, in.
formed the meeting that Sir C. Metcalfe was daily expected in England.
The Right Hon. S. R. LUsnINGTON, late Governor of Madras, stated,
that although he had never seen the building itself, yet he had seen a
great many plans and drawings of it, and he should say, that if they
were to set about the erection of such a building in London, it would
not cost less than 500,000/.

Mr. CROKER said, he thought so. Now, here they had nothing to do
but to place a statue on a building on which 30,000/. had been spent,
and which, after all, was imperfect from the want of that which they
might now supply.

The CHAIRMAN—And there could be, in fact, an equestrian statue
placid there.

The resolution was then put by the Chairman, and carried unani-
mously.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY stated, he had the highest gratifica-
tion in hearing from their intelligent Chairman the testimony of admira-
tion they were about to show in favour of that mighty man, whose
achievements they were about eternally to record in the best manner in
their power. He did think that it would be well for them to decide upon
one of the most splendid colossal equestrian statues in Europe. His view
of the case was, that anything like what was proposed by General cane
would possibly only be an indifferent imitation of an Indian edifice. He
questioned if a faulty original was not sometimes more meritorious
than a good copy, and he did not wish there should be any imita-
tion of any other memorial or monument in the present instance ;
they should endeavonr to strike out something chaste and characte.
ristie, something grand and imposing, from an artist of this country, or
wherever one could be found of sufficient eminence for the undertaking.
The great object of all must be to hand down to posterity an eternal and
magnificent record of a nation's gratitude. It was with great pleasure
he learned that the Noble Duke himself seemed desirous of having
the horse combined with the figure, having passed the most part of his
time in his great career in war on horseback (undoubtedly far more
than any other commander). By placing the hero of a hundred battles
upon the most noble animal of the creation, they would unite in memory
and veneration all the powers that both combine ; and he did not
think any edifice or any other kind of trophy would be so appropriate
as that lie then proposed. A doubt had occurred to Isis mind in respect
of the triumphal arch, how far the artist might think his powers con.
fined by being obliged to suit the proportions of the statue to the arch.
They had heard that the artist who built the arch had stated it would
bear a statue upon it, but then they always knew it must
bear some proportion to the eye; it was very essential to be
sure that the exact size of the equestrian statue could and would be in
accordance to the magnificence of the arch. Ho thought that would be
by far a more difficult task to accomplish and impose on the sculptor
than if he had merely a statue to make, and then afterwards a pedestal
after his own judgment and discretion. With these observations he
then moved the resolution :—" That the summit of the triumphal arch
at the entrance into the Green-park on Constitution hilt, going out of
Piccadilly; would, in the opinion of the Committee, be an appropriate si-
tuation in which to place such equestrian statue, provided Her Majesty
the Queen's permission can be obtained for that purpose."
The Duke Of CAMBRIDGE stated he had no doubt but ller Majesty's
permission could be cbtained.

Mr. CROKER, in reply to an observation which had been made, " that
something less common than an equestrian statue would be preferable,"
beggod leave to say, that no equestrian statue had ever been erected in
Europe to a subject not of royal blood ; be, at least, knew of none ; per.
haps his Noble Friend Lord Aberdeen (who was a much better autho-
