THK WELLINGToN TESTIMONIA L.—The subscription now
being raised for the purpose of erecting an equestrian statute
for the Duke of Wellington at the west end of London. to com-
memorate his military achievements, as distinguished from his
civil services, proceeds most satisfactorily. We understand
that the suns of £20,000 will he subscribed; and indeed the re-
cent accession of names to the list chews that men of all shades
of politics are desirous of doing honour to the illustrious war-
rior. Amongst them we find Lord John Russell (£5O), the
Bad of Eldon (second subscription I:105), Sir J. Kempt
(£105), Lord Segreve (£:30), and many others—peers, judges,
and members of parliament. This is 015 it should be. There
will be, perhaps, some diftkulty in fixing upon a site, huZ. we
Would suggest the head of the ornamental water opposite the
Horse Guards;- the statute to face the parade; where the vete,
ran and the young. recruit may equally look upon England's
greatest soldier.
