NTHE SUN, L D-Q-

men of whom the numerous company was formed, then
proceeded from the Guildliall in the Tollowing order:—
Mr. R. L. Jones, the Chairman of the Royal Exchange

Committee.
•
The Master of the Mercers' Company.

Mr. John Masterinan, m,R, and Sir P. Laurie, Trustees

for the Statue.
Executors of Sir F. Chantrey.
Aldermen.
Court of Mercers' Company.
Mr. Tite, the Architect of the Royal Exchange.
Members of the Royal Exchange and Gresham Trustees
Committee.
City Officers.
The Duke of Wellington's hand struck up the National
Anthem as the King of Saxony and the Lord Mayor en-
tered the space before the, statue, and the Committee
received his Majesty with acclamations. The King ap-
peared to be overwhelmed with astonishment at thp
scene which presented itself, and declared that he never
beheld such an extraordinary multitude. The Com-
mittee having walked twice round the statue, the cover-
ing of which was removed instantaneously amidst
cheers from all around,
Mr. R. L. JoNEs said he thought it necessary, as it
naturally Might be expected, that he should state to his
Majesty, on behalf of the Trustees and Committee, why
they were assembled on that day on that spot. They
mot to pay A grateful tribute to one of the greatest men
ever produced by this or any other country. It 'was
needless for him to say that he meant the Duke of Wel-
lington.—(lmmense cheering.) It would ill become him
to say one word about the transcendent merits of that
great men, because those merits were known and ac-
knowledged by the whole _civilised world. The
citizens of London felt . it peculiarly incumbent
upon them to erect a statue to that illus-
trious person by subscription, and with the
aid of the Government, who had supplied the metal from
the guns which Wellington himself had taken from the
enemy, they had succeeded in thus proving their grati..
tude.—(Great cheering.) This monument of a living
warrior had been framed by the hands of a great artist,
now no more, and it was a gratifying fact that it was the
first equestrian bronze statue which had ever been raised
during the life of the pergon represented. Never had
either king or subject the opportunity of seeing himself
so represented before.—(Cheers.) Independently of the
vast military renown of the Duke of Wellington,
the claim of his Grace upon the protection of the citizens
of London . for advancing its interests by promoting the
improvements and embellishments which the visitors to
this great City looked upon with wonder, was such that
they were determined to give effect to that feeling in a
way which posterity would be well able to appreciate,
and would leave an example worthy of imitation.—
(Cheers.) The King pulled off his hat, and joined as
heartily as any one in the immense multitude.
His Majesty, after having taken a view of the interor
of the Royal Exchange, over which his Majesty was
shown by the Lord Mayor, and Mr. Tite, the architect,
returned with his Lordship, loudly cheered all the way to
the Mansion-house, where be sat down and finished his
repast. His Majesty afterwards accompanied the Lord
Mayor to the Temple, and visited the ancient Church, the
Hall, and Library, and at six o'clock the King took his
leave of the Lord Mayor, having expressed the greatest
delight at all he had witnessed in the ancient and ho-
nourable City of London.
By the direction of the Commissioner of the City
Police, such arrangements were made as prevented the
slightest confusion. The police, by the acknowledgment
of all, conducted themselves with remarkable skill and
judgment, and the vast population in the streets appeared
to be highly gratified at the very interesting exhibition
of the day.

MONUMENT TO SIR DAVID
WILKIE.

The monument to Sir David Wilkie is now erected in
the church of Cults. It is truly an exquisite work of
art. So striking is the likeness, that many of the pa-
rishioners who have seen it discovered at once .the fea-
tures of the man whom it is designed to represent. The
inscription is as follows :
Sacred to the memory of
SIR DAVID WILKIE, RA.,
Principal Painter in Ordinary in England, and
Limner for Scotland,
To King George IV., King William IV., and Queen
Victoria—
Born at Cults, 18th of November, 1785 ;
died Ist June, 1841 ; buried at sea, off Cape Trafalgar.
As the painter of domestic scenes, his works were the
ornament alike of the palace and the cottage.
Through life he was guided and animated by those
sacred principles to which he had often listened
when a boy in this place,
from a Father's lips.
In order to acquire the accurate means of illustrating by
his art the history of our Saviour,
he departed for the Holy Land, and died on the
homeward voyage.
This tablet is erected by his affectionate sister in 1844.
Sir David is placed on the east, and the monument to
his father and mother by Chantrey on the west of the
pulpit—each of them within a few inches of it.--Fife
