The London press is exceedingly, and that
Of our own country not li'le, given 70 affect
great az curacy Of details as to The movrmsnis
Of Important personages, or accidents occur
ring 10 them The fall Of Lord Wellington
from his horse, at recent review IN England,
was OF course an event no. To be passed over,
and accordingly we fnd the London Spectator
commenting thus pleasantly upon the accuracy
Of the various accounts OF SO por'entn"us an

THE Duke OF WeAington's fall from his horse
Ii is ed,fying to observe how Difficult, il is 10
obtain an &C curate statement OF The simplest
matter Of fact. There are seven or eight ora
cles Of truth daily speaking in this city, and
yer any Two Of them stldom agree in their &C
count ofthe same matter, whether OF criticism,
political opinion, or Occurrence.
Some accident happened TO The Duke Of Wei
ing,on at the review in Hyde Parkc on We'd
nesday,-what was it? One paper says his
Grace fell IF his horse; another, that the horse
re4red, and The Duke dexrously threw him
self off: third print has il that the Premier
die not tumble, but that the hoI sc came down;
fourth, again, declares that The Hero oil Wa
terloo was blown off his steed BY gust OF wind.
Such are the discre2 ,nries and conf adiclions
OF the most faithful reporters Of so simple all
affair
First we shall give the version Of the J lines.
during he review, the Duke OF Yelling
ton, while advancing at the head OF his regi-
ment, was MYo,cn from his horse: but his Grace,
WE are happy 10 slate, experienced no injury
W. atever from The fall"
The Chronicle is, of course, great in par
ticularity.
During the review The DIXIE Of Wellington
was thrown from his horse, or rather the ami.
NAL fell with his Grace. Something having
given il alarm, il reared SO suddenly hat il

managed TO throw himself clear Of .he horse,
otherwise the consequences might have been
very serious. 10 the inquiries Of those around
him, The Duke replied HAT he was not IN the
least hurt; nor did il appear that the horse had
sustained any injury, as his Grace was soon
remounted, and 'hr animal quite passive. The
horse is the Duk, S favorire, Of chestnut color,
and was ridden by his Grace at the battle of
Waterloo"
The horse which the DIXIE of Wellington
rides on every occasion has always this pecu-
'iarity, that he is the identical horse the Duke
rode at the battle Of Waterloo. Sometimes
he IS ehesnui, sometimes grey, sometimes
bay, and we have known him roane
As we have sincere regard for the horse
that carried the Duke .hrough
