TELE DESIGNS FOR A WELLINGTON

TIIE INDIAN MUTINY.

MONUMENT.

The Exhibition now open in Westminster Hall,
of models designed to compete for the Government
prize for a Wellington monument, suggests serious
reflections to cultivated minds. The greatness of
the hero commeini r ited, the ardour of the nation's
des,ra to do him honour, the solemn. cons,dousness
thAt exists of the present want of great military
qualities in high places, and the universality of the
competition which. has produced these models, all
conspire to give interest to the exhibition. But
that which has most excited the public mind upon
the subject is the sense that, of all the works of
art there exhibited, not one is adequate to express
eith3r Wellit;gton's glory, or the nation's admira-
tion.
To design a monument to a man like Wellington
is not a task f-r common minds His qualities were
such as men of Ordinary endowments cannot under-
stand or even see. His victories, his triumphs, the
outward splendour of his achievements they may
behold, and beholding, applaud. But the silent
majesty of his nature, in which were combined an
-t
almost child-like devotion to duty, and an almost
god like strength of will, eludes their apprehension.
They may sympathis with his pride as a conque-
ror, but they are unable to share that mysterious
magnanimity which enabled him to receive studied
honour and rash contumely with equal docility,
and which impelled him to fellow only the dictates
of his own grmius and patriotism, leaving ,fame and
fortune, either to overtake him in his noble course,
or to abandon him altogether.
Yet surely these deeper qualities of Wellington
are what we most need to commemorate, if po,si-
ble, in his national monument; that we may there-
by help to inspire the nation, in this ago and in after
ages, with a pure and lofty ambition. For this is
now the design of monuments—to improve the
living rather than to glorify the dead. Our
Christian faith forbidi the thought that the joys
of the dead can be quickened or their gifts as-
suaged by earthly homage. But as the living may
be exalted by their example, we would fain perpe-
tuate the mem n'y of their virtues, and it is for this
cause that we build them monuments.
Hence we see why it is desirable to record, not
the mere battles and triumphs of Wellington, but
his zeal, his fidel ty, his foresight, his constancy,
his loyalty, his self-dominion. These are the vir-
tues which make individuals str,ng, and nations
invincible. A common man may face foes, and
dispose battalions, and win victories We have
but little need t r incite men to such deeds. But
how few of us are true to duty, faithful under re-
proaches, quick to foresee d 'tigers, swift to serve
the state, loyal, simple, pure.
It would be difficult, we are aware, to fitly re-
present these qualities in sculptured stone—diffi-
cult, that is, nay, impossible, to au inferior genius.
It is a task which requires great powers, and with-
out these will never be accomplished. But in a
sister art to sculpture it has already been nobly
achieved. In Tennyson's "Ode oh the Death of
the Duke of Wellington," we have a great man's
monument to this great man's genius—somewhat
ruggedly wrought, it is true, but unique, faithful,
magnificent, immortal. There we have, apart
from its temporary funereal features, the embodi-
ment of the noblest characteristics of departed
duke. In it the nation learns, not merely that he
was

We have been favoured with a copy of the follow-
ing letter from a lady, the wife of a Bengal officer :
NEEMUCII, JtINE 17.
My beloved Brother,—lt has phased G inerci-
fuly to spare all our lives ; and though unable to
give you at this moment any regular account of our
past trials and wonderful escape from the hands of
the bloodthirsty heathenish insurgents, yet I will
not let my fiist moment of peace pass without in-
forming you of our safety. I came here about two
months since, in the early part of April, for the
benefit of a better climate and more society for our
sweet little Einmy, to live wilh my two eld,r sons,
::nd a third, wt.o was out of 11,alth, was left with
me. My husband and two younger boss returned
to Kosah. About three weeks since reports of com-
ing danger and mutiny among the three regiments
here bean to spread, fires at night took place, false
alarms were constantly raised, the natives fled from
the bazaars, and a repetiti,,n of the horrors of
Meerut aod Delhi was hourly expected. We dared
not go to bed at night, and our days were full of
ant.cipated horrors. At last things wore so gloomy
an aspect that I sent off an express to my darling
husband for his advice. Another express was snit
by the authorities here, urging him to lose no time
in collecting all the forces under his command and
come to Neemuch for the protection of the inhabi-
tants. He did so, and set out with cavalry and in-
fantry and a couple of guns—altogether 1,500 men,
marching 90 miles in three days with a burning sun
and hot winds blowing. In the meantime a timely
notice was given to my boys that the mutiny would
soon take place, and the coming storm seemed so
near that we left our home just as we were on the
point of sitting down to dinner with merely a
change of clothes in our hands, and went off t) a"
place about 10 miles distant, where our eldest son
had the care of a'small fort. We arrived there late
at night with a couple ef very frightened friends,
whom we protected on the way ; and, though we
did sleep on the ground, we thought ourselves for-
tunate in having comparatively safe ground to lie
down upon. One day of rest and then came the
storm ; all Neemuch in flames, and all terror-
stricken. My boys guarded the fort by night and
by day. We were every hour expecting the people
of the city (Jewud) to rise and destroy us, when
early in the morning there came to the gates 15
officers, six ladies, and three young children. They
had all run for their lives. We let them in. They
had ruu all the way with only the clothes on their
backs. We fed them, and tried to give them that
hope and comfort of which we ourselves were desti-
tute. An hour afterwards, and a bright gleam of
sunshine ! Who should arrive to our help but my
husband and two boys t They had come on 16
miles a head of the little army, which was too
knocked up to proceed. This was real joy for the
time, but was soon damped ; 'for not many hours
passed before the intelligence came that all the
mutineers, with their guns, were on their way to
attack Jewud • and as we well knew that the fort
could not resist guns, we all, with our companions
in misery, made a clear start to my husband's camp
sixteen miles off, which we reached, jaded, terror-
stricken, and all very dirty. Again we all
slept on the ground, my husband and boys
doing everything for everybody ; and the following
day we took our little army to do battle with the
insurgents ; but they had heard of Charles and his
force, and started off another road. The cowardly
rascals had sent their messengers into Charles's
camp, and offered 1,000 rupees for his head, and
500 for each member of his family ' • and this we
have since learned, was done through the medium
of two men who have for the present escaped hang-
ing, whose bad conduct at Jeypore had caused tbeir
imprisonment in the gaol at Neemuch. The muti-
neers had broken open the gaol, and these men
joined them. Well, we returned to Neemuch, and
found not more than half-a-dozen people left—ruin
and desolation in every direction. None of us
escaped with more than one change of garments,
some not even that; and all here are alike beggars.
Our house, like all others, is a ruin, a shell, with-
out one article left us. Our beautiful books. either
torn or burnt ; our furniture broken up, chopped
in pieces, or carried off ; not a cup, plate, or glass
left ; carpets torn up, or carried away ; not a
single garment of any kind ; our silver dishes gone ;
do:)rs, windows smashed ; trinkets and curiosities,
of which I had a goodly store, all taken away or de-
stroyed—even the pictures and punkahs' and the
chimney pulled down to see if anything had been
hidden in it. We have now nothing left. The
shopkeepers have lost everything, so that we have
not the means of buying common clothes. Charles
has lost property to the amount of 14,000 rupees.
Our own servants assisted in the plunder, and they
loaded four of our horses to carry away the most
valuable part of our property. Luckily, we had
camels and horses with us iu our flight, or these
also would have been taken.

"Foremost captain of, his time,"
but also that be was
_ "In praise and in dispraise the same ;"

;bat he

"Never sold the truth to serve the hour,
Nor palter'd with eternal God for power ;"
hat he was one -

Whose life was.work, Whose language rife
With rugged maxims hewn from life ;
Who never spoke against a foe •
Whose eighty winters freeze with one rebuke,
All great self-seekers trampling on the right ;"
.highe4 praise of all !—that he was
"Rich in saving common sense,
And, as the greatest only are,
In his simplicity 4ublime."
- -

There are elements of Wellington's character of
which the nviou has most need to be perpetually
reminded. We desire to
" Let his great example stand
Colossal, seen of every land,
And keep the soldier firm, the statesman pure;
Tilt in all lands and through all human story,
The path of duty be the way to glory."
To give form to this great example, and to en-
able us to place its embodtment in the public gaze,
was the task set before the competitors whose weeks
are now submitted io our judgment at Westmin-
ster. That not one of these competitors has effected
this we have no doubt whatever. Many of them
are simply contemptible. In two of them the
Duke is staggering in the arms of women. In cthers
he is uneasily prostrate upon his back. In another
he sits simpering before a lady who is showing him
oppressive attentions. In another he is reclining
upon a car drawn by very quiet lions. In several
he stands half-n ked among angels ; and so for h.
In five or six only is the man Wellington, whose
genius and virtues are celebrated, represented as
dignified in person and in associations, and in
none of them is the true sublimity of his character
expressed.
It may be thought by some unfair in us to cri-
ticise the Westminster models in this manner, with-
out suggesting in some detail an appropriate form
of monument. But to this we cannot assent. We
lay no claim to the requisite ability for such a work.
We presume merely to point out whit requires
commemoration, and not the mode of commemo-
rating it. This we leave to the true artist, whose
ta.k it is. At the same time, we feel perfectly
justified in condemning productions which cou'd
neither honour nor improve she nation that should
adopt them.—Mechanics' Magazine.

I will say no more now ; but this is but a small
portion of our woes. Last night I slept on a couch.
It is the first time for 15 nights that I have had so
good a bed, and last night I off my clothes ;
for 13 nights 1 dared nut do this for fear that we
should again have to fly. Our boys have behaved
most bravely and nobly, and their conduct has been
justly admired by all. My husband has the proud
satisfaction of knowing that he saved (through the
mercy and guidance of God) not only the lives of
his own wife and children, but of his brother offi-
cers and their families, and all belonging to Nee-
much, and this all most gratefully acknowledged.
Had he not come to our rescue when be did every
soul of us would have been murdered. We are not
yet out of danger. It hangs over every white face
in this portion of unhappy India ; and I ask your
prayers and those of all my dear brothers ; we need
all your players to God on our behalf.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—As I observe that the reports from Madras
of the captureof Delhi are discredited, from their
being no confirmation of them from Bombay, I beg
to forward you an extract from a letter, dated the
23d of June, from a relative in high official position
in the Bombay Presidency, in which the fall of
Delhi, and slaughter of 7,000 of the rebels, are
mentioned incidentally as faits accomplis, of which
intelligence will have reached England by this List
mail.

The high character, both private and official, of
the gentleman whose letter I quote is, to those
acquainted with him, a guarantee for the correct-
ness of the information.—Faithfully yours,

Lauder, Scotland, Aug. 4.

" For the last ten days, at night we have been
just as much on the alert as if we were in the field
before an enemy; frequent patrols, and picketswith
extended lines of sentries. I got information of &he
intended assault just in time. The object was to
'laughter the English, and to proclaim the adopted
son of the late Rajsh. Now that we are prepared
I do not think we shall be attacked, unless
dis-
turbances arise in the Nizam's country, which is in
a very unsettled statt., and which is our frontier.
We are anxiously looking for the arrival of troops
from England. Delhi, which was (sic. in orig.) for
more than a month iu the hands of the insurgents,
has just been retaken, and 7,000 of the rebels t-lain.

we came in sight of the second position of tee m eti-
neers, which was on a ridge of hills witein a mile
of Delhi, which place the ridge shut out from our
view; ii was on the Alipon side, of he ridge that the
contingent of the troops were before the mutiny.
The rebels had got several heavy gum posted be e,
sweeping all the ground in front; but instead of ad-
vancing up directly in front, out troops were divided
into two bodies, one of which went up a slanting
road to the right, and the other to the left, com-
pletely outflanking the rebel-, on whom we opened
a heavy file, and they were obliged to aibto endpoenliaiil.l

We suffered comparatively little in this second
attack • altogether, we made a famous morning's
work of it. We are now encamped in the old can-
tonments on the Alipon side of the ridge, and
have got several batteries on the ridge, from which.
we pound into the town, they returning the fire
with wonderful accuracy. The engineers have been
hard at work during the week constructing. bat-
teries and cover for the guns, always unde r lire. The
ridge is about 500 yards from the walls of Delhi,
which lies in the plain beneath. Their shot and shell
come whizzing about us during most of the time
we are at work ; our loss, however, is not much
daily—about five killed and wounded on the ridge.
They also come out almost every day and attack us
in force, but are always driven back with loss. We
have now been here just a week. Our lost on the
Bth was 150 killed and wounded, and 100 since.
The accounts are still bad, more regiments mutiny-
ing every day. As soon, however, as more European
troops come up, this state of ein must end, and
the rebels meet with a terrible retribution. Gen.
Reed now commands this force, with Barnard
second in command. I have been graciously spared
hitherto, and am it; capital health. We must take
Delhi before many days are over, and then there
will be a turn in this state of affairs. Tommy Ca-

COWES, WEDNESDAY.

The Royal Yacht Squadron's annual dinner took
place on Wednesday, and though there were 36 schooners
and 26 cutters belonging to the squadron lying off the
Squadron House, the three Royal yachts, and a large
