THE WELLINGTON TROPHY.
The grand colossal statue of Achilles was yes-
terday placed upon its lofty pedestal in Hyde Park, and excited
the admiration of thousands of all ranks and descriptions
throughout the day. It stands a proud trophy of the suc-
cessful valour and pre-eminent glory of Britain, and will
serve as a lasting monument of the transcendent merits
of the illustrious and immortal WELLINGTON, by whom,
and his brave companions in arms, feats of glory have
been atchieved, not only ,Surpassing all of modern times,
but those of the most renowned heroes of antiquity.
The Statue is immensely colossal, and presents a fine imposing
appearance; but, contrary to expectation, the face bears no re-
semblance to that of the great Captain, whose splendid victo-
ries it is avowedly designed to commemorate. The figure is
quite upright, holding a shield in one hand, while the other is
indicative of an offensive intention, but as yet displays no
weapon ; the head is uncovered, and the armour is placed on
the right side, rather inclining to the back of the statue. The
drapery is thrown over the left shoulder, and in front comes
down in tolerably graceful folds, but in the rear the same atten-
tion has not been paid to the appearance of the garment. On the
whole, however, it presents a magnificent specimen of the per-
fection of the arts, and will not fail to excite universal admi-
ration. Though we gave the inscription in our Paper of Mon-
day, it may not be unnecessary to repeat it in this place. It is
as follows

TO ARTHUR DUKE OF WELLINGTON'
and his Brave Companions in Arms,
this Statue of Achilles,
cast from Cannon
taken in the Victories of
Salamanca, Vittoria, Toulouse, and Waterloo,
is inscribed
by their Countrywomen.

POETRY.

ON MELANCHOLY.

There is a kind of soothing sorrow

Which vulgar minds can never know ;
There is a feeling that can borrow
Its softest, wildest thrill from woe,

'Tis felt at that lone hour of night
When sadly smiles the silver orb ;
When pensive gleams of wizard light
The sighs of misery absorb.
There is a tear of doubtful birth,
By sorrow dained, yet joy resembling:
Though unallied to ruder mirth,
It is 'twixt grief and pleasure trembling.
'Twill glisten in the lunar ray,
When beauty's absence gems the eye;—
'Twill down the cheek of feeling stray,
When beauty's menery lingers nigh.
