WATEIVLOO CRESCENT.—Under this denomina-;
tion, and Commemorative of the great day of Eng-
land's triumph and. Europe's deliverance, a range
Of buildings is now in course of erection, on a
piece of ground belonging to Lord FALsrouTH
and the. Corporation of Truro, and situated. on the
eastern bank of the Truro river, which promises
to atlord an important addition to the beauty of
this town. The Crescent will consist of fourteen
neat and uniform houses, united by a central edi-
fice of superior architectural decoration, and ter-
minated by two 'elegant wings. The principal
building (which, with some others, is already in
a state of great forwardness), is to be denomi-
nated Wellington House, the front of which, up-
wards of fifty feet in length, will be ornamented
with four regular lonic columns, supporting a
handsome pediment, hearing a head of the hero;
surrounded by appropriate trophies, and • sur-
mounted by a fine statue of Victory. The founda-
tion-gone of this structure was laid on the 18th
of June last, by the Town Steward, accompanied
by other Members of the Corporation, private.
Gentlemen, &c. and beneath it are deposited spe-
cimens of ,all the coins which have been struck
during the reign of our venerated Monarch. The
site of Waterloo Crescent is judiciously chosen,
with respect both to health and prospect, the
houses overlooking the whole town of. Truro,
and commanding a great •extent of the circum.
jacent country. 'The-area in front, to be laid out
in gardens, comprises upwards of 40,000‘feet of
ground ; besides which, there will be a handsome
terrace, and carriage way, and the avenues will
be planted with trees. A grove will also be form-
ed behind the Crescent: On the whole, it is but
justice to say,• that. the: plan does honour to its
projectors ; and we doubt not that it will hand-
somely reward those who are engaged in its coma
pletion.— (Roy al Cornwall 6 vette.)
