THE

ATTLE OF
WATER: 2:

We were to-day favoured with a private view of Mr. Siborn's
Model of the Battle of Waterloo, which will be shortly opened
for public exhibition at the Egyptian Hall, Piccadilly. It is
one of the most interesting, as we believe it to be in its details
one of the most faithful, of this species of exhibition, which has
been for some time presented to the British public. The Mo-
del is on a scale of ninefeet to the mile, and contains the ex-
traordinary and most incredible number of 190,000 Liliputian
figures on foot and horseback, most accurately and beautifully
finished—the costume, uniform, arms,: &c., of each figure,
being perfectly true to the life.
The time chosen is a quarter past seven, on the evening of
fthe 18th of June, when Napoleon made his last g..eat struggle
ort ictory. The Imperial Guard, after the repulse of the
column, is seen advancing in great force to the crest of
the hill, immediately in front
of the Duke of Wellington's
position, where it is received by the British Guards, who upon
the Duke's orders " Up Guards, and at them f" have started
suddenly from their recumbent position, and are pouring a
steady and destructive fire into the front and left flank of
the French Imperial Guard. It would be impossible,
1n a brief notice like the present, to inter into the
netails of this magnificent picture, which must be visited to
be properly
bited, appreciated. The effect of the firing from the
artillery infautry, skirmishers,very beautifully exhi-
an'd the chateau and enclOsures of Hougomont, the
scene of such terrific slaughter, with several of the outhouses
ea fire, has a very striking and picturesque effect. The ap-
pearance of the ground which was the immediate scene of
the great struggle—the trampled corn fields, and the hundreds
of dead and wounded strewed around, are all presented to the
!ye with extraordinary accuracy. This model will do more to
'llustrate the position of the opposing forces on the memorable
of June, than all the pictures and descriptions in the
distinguished
