THE WELLINGTON STATUE AT
MA.NOLIESTER.

The ceremony of inauguration Will be simple, and some-
what like that which inaugurated the Peel statue at the
other end of the esplanade. The veil of drapery which, till a
proper moment, will enshroud the statue,--though it can.
nut conceal the outline of the principal %ture, which every
Passer by must see to be that of Wellington,--will at a
given signal he withdrawn, and the noble metricrial to our
great captain will be revealed to the admiring gaze, and
_welcomed by the unanimous cheers of the assembled thou•
sands. The granite for the new grade in the base of the.
Peel statue bas already arrived, and we uederetand that
it!hes been determined that the Peel statue shall he taken
down, its pedestal raised, and replaced at the higher ele-
vation, before the inauguration of the Wellington memo-
rial. The total height of the Peel statue and pedestal
will then be 25ft. 9:n., arid that of the Wellington me-
morial 32ft, Tnere appear at last to be some Cigna of pro-
gress in the completion of the levelling and flagging o
the new public esplanade. For some time past, doubt.
kip, most of those who pass that way frequently have
looked with a sort of despair on this waste place in the
very heart of the city. And even no a', though doub:.
less every Edna will he made to expedite the proceed-
inge, it s _erns not unlikely.that the only prtion of the'
esplanade which will appel.r in some degree incomplete
on the day of inauguration evil be the flagging or pav-
ing of the promenade it elf. The bror z cast inn which
when duly placed upon the pedestal will form that wbicb,
as a whole, we have no better name for than the Wel-
lington Memorial, arrived in Menchester on Saturday,
and the sculptor, Mr. Noble, arrived on Mond ty eveu-
ing. We shall not minutely describe the s'atuery at'
present. Suffice it to say that upon a pedestal of gran-
ite -tends the statue of the Duke ; that at each angle of
the pedestal is a small projecting foot or pedestal for the
reception of a subordinate figure; that the two figures at :
the front angles are (to the spec`a,' or's lefe) Mere tr
Valour, and (to the right) Minerva or Wisdom. Behind
Mars is the reward of Valour—Victory ; behind Minerva
is the reward of wisdom —Peaces. In four panels or
plinths in the square of the pedestal will be placed as
many bas-rdlick but not in time f,r the inauguration.
That at the rear is to portray the battle of Aseaye, Wel-
lington's greatest victory in Reba ; that in front, the
battle of Waterloo, his crowning victory in Europe.
B tween the kares of Mars n d Victory is to be a bts
relief of the Congress of Vienna ; and between Mi-
nerva aed Peace another representing the Duke re-
ceiving the thanks of the House of Commons. The
statue and the four subordinate figures are all of
brorz. Sir co Saturday the workmen have been busily
engaged in raising the statue and figures to their
piacer. The figures were cast by Mews. Robinson
and Cit'ain at their Pimlico works, and the aggregate
weight of metal in them is about 10 tone. The statue
of the Duke alone weighs five tons, and stands 13 feet ,
high ; the granite pede.tal is about 19 feet in height, and
weighs about 100 tons.—Manchester Guardian of yes-
terday.

FLOODS IN DERBYSHIRE.—DANAGE TO THE CROPS.-
0 wing to t re heavy rains of the past few days, the rivets
Derwent and Trent, in D, rbyshire, have overflowed
their banks and done entr•iiderab!e damage to the cirn
crips, many fields of wheat being under water. At to-
day's (Friday) Darby corn market wheat obtained an
advance of 5,i. over last week's rates.
