THE LIONS FOR THE NELSON COLUMN.—It is said
that a new light has broken in upon this affair, for, in order
to get over the difficulty of Sir Edwin Landseer not being
able to carve in stone, it has been proposed, after his models
are made, to cast them in bronze, in which case they would
bear all the expressive and final touches from the hand of
the original designer. Other advantages would be thus
gained, for the colour of the metal would harmonise with
the bassi relievi already there, bo warmer in tone than
stone, besides being enabled to resist the damaging effects
of our London atmosphere. This proposal will be no small
relief to Sir Edwin, and a rather fortunate escape for the
Ministry who perpetrated the " job. "—Building News.
PRESENT OF A HOWITZER TO THE QUEEN.—
The Moniteur de l'Armee says :—" It may be remembered
that Queen Victoria some months since sent as a present
to the Emperor Napoleon a field-piece complete with its
ammunition waggon, similar to those in use in tho English
army. The Emperor, wishing in his turn to offer to his
gracious ally a specimen of the French field artillery, has
selected a twelve-pounder howitzer, which, as is well known,
was invented by himself. This gun, regularly mounted on
its carriage, is accompanied by its ammunition
waggon. It was cast at Douai, and has been
since finished off in the workshops of the central ar-
tillery depot in Paris, and at the express wish of
the English Minister of War has been left unpainted. All
the parts, both in wood and iron, are highly, finished and
well fitted, and the ensemble is remarkable for its severe
simplicity. The gun and the carriages aro accompanied by
a-complete set of harness for six horses, such as is in use in
Prance. The piece bears the name of L'Alliance,' so well
