THE WELLINGTON STATUE.—Numerous workmen
are busily employed in removing a portion of the scaf-
folding by which the colossal statue of the Duke of Wel-
lington was raised to the top of the triumphal arch at
Hyde-park-corner, but in consequence of the firmness
with which the timbers were braced together, the pro-
gress is very slow. No correct idea can be formed of
the general appearance which the statue will present
when it is fully exposed to the view of the public.
FOREIGN POTATOES.—It IS. now some time since
we had occasion to notice an importation of potatoes
from abroad. A vessel arrived at Bristol from Jersey,
in addition to a variety of other articles, had 100 cwt. of
this esteemed and much-spoken-of article on board; and
the steam-ship, Ocean, arrived on Monday, from Rotter-
dam, had three hampers of potatoes on board, the growth
of Holland, and the first arrival of the kind from that
country for several months past.
SEIZURE OF AN ILLICIT DlSTlLLERT.—lnformation
has been received by the Commissioners of Excise of the
seizure of an extensive illicit distillery in Manchester,
which illegal traffic, notwithstanding the vigilance of the
authorities, appears to be on the increase. From sus-
picions entertained by Mr. Watson, an officer of Excise,
he went to a house in Butler-street, where he disco-
vered a distillery, completely fitted up, on a scale calcu-
lated for carrying on a large business, with stills, worms,
heads, &c. The stills, at the time of the entrance
of the officers, were in full work, and two men, who
gave the names of Davis and Ryley, were attending to
them. They were, at the moment of detection, running
through the stills low wines, known to the trade as
"faints." From the appearance of the fittings-up of the
distillery, it is believed that this contraband trade must
have existed for a considerable time.
ALARMING HIGH TIDE.—On Wednesday the tide of
the river Thames rose to an alarming height, causing a
serious destruction of property situate in all the low-lying
cellars and warehouses near the water-side. At Bankside
and Lambeth the loss of property is very great. Many of
the dwellings of the poor dredgermen and others were
inundated with water for hours, compellingmany families
to leave their humble habitations until the water had
been pumped out by the means of pumps, &c. The tide
likewise visited Vauxhall, Nine Elms, Battersea, Wands-
worth, and Chelsea, where many of the market gar-
deners' and florists' grounds were covered with water tor
a considerable period, causing extensive damage to their
choice flowers and vegetables. The flood is mainly 'eAtri-
bated to the boisterous state of the weather.
