WYATT'S COLOSSAL STATUE OF

THITDiJKE OF WELLINGTON.

Mr. Wyatt's colossal equestrian statue of the Duke o,
Wellington, after somewhat like ten years' incessant
labour, is at length arrived at completion, and, pullies,
ropes, levers, and other mechanical appliances permiting,
will, in a few days, be raised upon its pedestal at the
top of the triumphal gateway at Constitution-hill. Some
idea of the arduous nature of the work which has yet
to be done, however, may be gathered from the fact,
that the horse and its rider have consumed between forty
and fifty tons of metal, and that Messrs. Grissel and
Peto's contract for removing and fixing them amounts to
2,0001. The inauguration of this statue may fairly, and
doubtless will, be looked upon as a national event. The
Iron Duke is a man whom Britain must ever be proud
to call her own—.-a man for all time, and far above the
littleness of party.
We had yesterday the pleasure of inspecting this
gigantic work at the artists' studio at Paddington ; but
to say that we came away in a condition to give a cri-
tical account of it as a work of art would be preposterous.
As well might the men of Lilliput pretend to take in the
contour of their illustrious visitor Gulliver, as well the
traveller in the east describe a coup d'ceil of a pyramid
viewed from its base, as see that of the effigy of the hero
of Waterloo peering up in amaze from beneath his
horse's belly-band. Such are its dimensions that a man
on horseback may ride between the horse's legs. We
descended by a ladder into its capacious stomach, and
there found a goodly compartment, in which some fifty
men might be packed away, and in which, we are cre-
dibly informed, thirteen adventurous guests have actually
dined. The head, and a very fine one, is six feet in
length, a datum upon which the connoisseurs in horse-
flesh may judge of the other proportions of the enor-
