Tag WILLLINGTON MONIIMENT.—There are strange
rumours afloat concerning this work :—"The thousand
tongue, ,P are noising it abroad that, notwithstanding
the award of
prizes in Westminster Hall the competition
Will lead to nothing, except a return to the original
Rohm° of giving the commission to Baron Marochetti ;
indeed, it is added that the arrangement was "in pro-
grass " when the competition was mooted ; and it is to
be carried out now that the competitive designs are
ei▪
ther sent home or ehelvel into one of the anterooms
of the new Palace of Westminster. We eannot credit
a statement Bo utterly opposed to every principle of
darehenour ; we do not believe that any Government would
~e to commit so great an outrage on common decency.
therefore abstain from more than a mere note to
'A•
te that such a rumour is in oiroulation.—Arf iourne.
