INAUGURATION OF THE WELLINGTON

MEMORIAL.

(From tke Manchester Guardian.)
The inauguration of the Manchester memorial to the
Late Duke of Wellington, which is placed at the Portland-

•
Area end of the Royal Infirmary, took place on Saturday

afternoon; the ceremony being most successful throughout.
It woulci be useless to attempt to estimate or guess the
number of persons, residents and from the neighbourhood
of Manchester, who assembled to witness the inauguration;
any such estimate must be fallacious. We can simply say
that the crowd was an immense one, 'extending far along

Piccadilly and Market-street; and that, in addition, all the
side streets commanding a view of the memorial were
crowded almost as densely as the area and Piccadilly. In
the neighbourhood of the Infirmary, as well as in other

parts of the city, numerous flags and banners were dis-
played ; and many house-tops, and all the windows from
which a view could be obtained, were occupied. Notwith-

standing the extent of the crowd and the great pressure
there was no accident of which we have heard, and only

one or two oases of personal robbery have come to the
knowledge of the police.
We subjoin a general sketch of the proceedings in con•
nection with the memorial, from the holding of the meet•

ing at which its erection was resolved upon ; of the pry.
ceedings of Saturday afternoon ; of the memorial itself ;

and of other matters of interest.

The Duke of Wellington died at Walmer Castle, at 23
minutes after threo o'clock, on the afternoon of the 14th

September, 1552; his death, which resulted from an epi-
leptic attack, having been wholly unexpected and very

sudden. So soon as the loss sustained by the nation could
be fairly realised, a unanimous feeling arose, and was ox-

pressed, that the funeral of such a hero and statesman

must be undertaken by the Government, acting for the
nation. That point being thus settled, another equally

natural feeling arose ; it was not less de©p or general, but
for its development and the completion of the object to the

contemplation of which it led, communal action necessarily
took the place of action for the nation as a whole. In all,
the great cities and towns meetings were held; and at each

it was resolved, without a dissentient voice, that some-
thing should be done that should show the gratitude and
the regret of the community, as well as serve to perpetu-
ate the memory of the great departed, his deeds, and tho
estimation in which be was held by his generation.

On the 25th September, 1852, we announced the inten-
tion to hold a meetingnf the leading citizens of Manches-
ter for the object mentioned; and a meeting, numerously
and most influentially attended, was held in the Town
Hall, on Tuesday, the 28th September. The mayor, Ro-
bert Barnes, Esq., was compelled, from ill health, to ab-
sent himself ; and the chair was occupied by Alderman Silt
John Potter, the ex-mayor. Mr. Thomas Bazloy, presi-
dent of our Chamber of Commerce, proposed the following
