ACCIDENTS AND INCIDENTS. &e., &., bk. XENAUGURATION OF THE WASHINGTON STATUE. For some time past mysterious movements have been «going forward in Union square, in the corner between Broadway and East Fourteenth street. Their result was «the erection of Mr. Henry K. Brown's equestrian statuo of Washington, which was duly inaugurated on the morn- Wing of the Fourth. ‘The weather was not so propitious as the day, and at half-past cight, A. M., the hour for unveiling the statue, » rain was falling in considerable quantities. This, how- + ever, did not deter large numbers of citizens from visiting ‘othe scene of operations, aud quite a large crowd collect- «@d. The windows of the houses fronting the square were filled with pretty womon, curious and patriotic. ‘The genera! arrangements were under the charge of » Major Gencral Sandford, commanding the First Division New York State Mii As usual, the men of war were late on the ground, punctuality, it seems, not being con- sidered a militury virtue by the militia, We may ex- cept from this the cavalry corps attached to the Seventh Regiment, and called the Washington Greys. The Tweltth Regiment next appeared, and was followed by » the Seventh, a great deal behind time. The music was furnisbed by Dodworth and the band of the Seventh. ‘The lino was formed in the shape of an equilateral tri- «angle. The speaker's stand, near Union park, formed the base, while the cavalry and the Twelfth and Seventh + regiments, on Fourth avenue and Fourteouth streets, © formed the sides. The statue occupied the centre. + Ababout a quarter past 9 o’cleck the covering was ro- moved, and the statue was hailed with the most entha- ~ siastic cheers by the crowd, which lad now increased so »~ a6 to cover every available spot from whicha view of + the ceremony coulkl be bad. The bands played “ Hail, * Qolumbia’’—the ladies waved their bandkervhicfs—the troops presented arms—the people generaily uncovered their heads, and gave vent to their epthusiasm in loud and long continueg’cheering. The scene was a most in- spiriting onc. ‘Goionei Lee then advanced to the speaker's stand, and onthe part of the Committee of Arrangements invited ‘Whe Rev. Geo. W. Bethune, D.

But, used to a master, unit yy reason or faith to rule themselves, they broke uy inte w wild chao of parties, sects and robber bands, demagogues eaga alter spoil, preachers blaspheming the Swyiewr in hi eanctuaries of peace with cries for the “sword o Gideon’ and gunpowder, brawling hypocrites of dna ticisms they despised, all threatening mutual anc somimou annibilation, when an iron will, backed by brute force, littea itself above the tumult to be their protecter from themselves by usurping # sterner despotism thag thay they bad thrown off. “Cromwell did rule them, and with vast ability; hol ling their factions apart, yet com pelling them to do his bidding, vanquishing thoir enemies ‘on sea and land, vindicating their place in Europe, stivau- lating their trades, enlarging their commerce and filing thei treasury, But Croiwell ruled alone. ‘Their par Nament was & mockery, their councils a farce, ticir cir laws, strong as chains to them, were straw to him; bey their very religion be came not seldom an artitice of his bold cunuing. There were many good men in England at that time; the Chris- tien church reckons not a few of them among her choicest jewels; there were many wise, sound, generous patriots, whoso reasonings remain among the fuest in our language: there was still a sturdy, uncurrupted Saxon yeomanry. The opportunity and the subordiuates were. ready for a genuine retormation—an elevation of the people by their own latent forces. But such was not his plan nor his wish. Whatever excuse may be offered for him, he was an autocrat. He depressed the poor, tae faithful, the independent, He taught them no maxizns of procal justice—no lessons of large religious cnarity. What was the result? All perished with him. His very name lost its charm when borne by the son of his loins. ‘The masses had tearned no self-government—none had learned to govern them, The Puritanism, which was so strong against King and Bishop and Pope, which sull held so much radical truth of doc- trine and morals, but had exchanged its spicitual weapons for carnal force and harsh rigor, found that ite trust was “a man whose breath was in his nostrils"? And though for twenty years it had the courts of law, the hniversities and the pulpits of the land, in less than five the nation it should have raved, reverted to a profligacy of manners, a base truckling toa frivuloas monarch aud a general degradation almost iucredibie of Englishmen. When they next rebelled, it was to flod a leader in 4 foreigu prince; and never agaia has Britain relied wita supreme confidence on one of her own blood. he genius of Napoleon was Stupendous, and none can conubt that he could, had he chosen, have opened for France a path to freedom and popular dignity. Nor aay we deny tbat he did very much for her military progress and internal economy. But from the first bent of his own aggrandisement, he glaily bartered for the bauble ot acrown the grandest fame ever within the reach of a Kuropean. He lived, conquered, guverned only foe bimeelt. The laurelled wreathed N was on Code aud luseum, School and Boursy, Library and ‘Tribunal. js invoked “the glory of France,” as he gilded the dome of the Invalides, to cajoie a vain, incon.

Abundant proofs of bis Titanie strength must long remain for the woudler of tae world; and the magic of his nine has given it a second inves: tituro of empire in a doubtful scion of bis race, more ustute than he.

It were ungrateful as untrue to make Washington the sole author of our natioval independence aud founder of our republican confederacy. There were influences vending to both more than a century Never was there a people #0 educated by Providence, or situated so remotely from bad forms of government. The poculiar difficulties of their agricultural or marine life had toughened their sinews of miud and body, while its pri- mitive simplicity had purged from their thoughts the authority of precedent or usage not sanctioned by Scrip- ture and common sense. re had been brave, decp thinking men before the crisis came, preparing by their solemn voices in the wilderness fur the advent of a new dtspensation; but, when remorseleas tyranny had sown its dragontecth in the roil, there sprang np a band of patriots, armed with a wisdom, courage and honesty such ay a special Providence only could call forth, I need not pronounce their names—they are itten deep in our mories.

Lee, the indefatigable chairman of the Monumental Committce, who Inagptainod bis post near the pedestal, had frequently to leave it, to Sntimate to the officers in command of the regiments whes they had to do, when to draw their swords, when to salwte, and when to choer. The Seventy first regimest, whictr is enmalating succes - fully the Seventh, was an exception. They marche isto the square in @ mest gallant manner, placed thet band in posits n, ordered arms, and chetred nine times ¢ thew, and ch A number of the regiments echoered with their arms at the shoulder. Some neither saluted nor cheered, nor dé! the civic part of the procession. The riding of the Diekel’s Black Husears exhibited 4 thorough knowledge of the manege. The statue has been visited by thousands of people, and the public verdict is one of eutire app -obation. The weight of the horse and rider is about four and a half tons, distributed as follows :—The plinth, 2,000 Ibs.; horse, 2,700; the riaer and other parts, 3,800. The com+ bination of metals is as follows:—88 parts of copper, with Yof tin, 2 of zinc, and 1 of lead. The body of the horse was cast in one piece, and the thickness of the metal averages three-cighths of an inch. It was cast at Ames’ foundry, in Chicopee, Mass, ‘The group is fourteen feet in height, and is mounted upon 8 granite pedestal of equal height. The statue faces to- ward the West. The Pater Patrie is represented sitting ip the saddle attired in the Continental uniform. His head is uncovered and his right arm extended as if he was about to speak. The artist has modeiled the face from Hondon’s bust, the only statuary ever taken from Washington's person, Mr. Hondon came from France, in 1785, and reached Mount Vernon on the 3d of October of that year. He spent two weeks at that place. The work was modelled when Washington was in his fifty-fourth year. Not intending to anticipate the critical opinions which will be showered upon Mr. Brown's work, we may say that it is a great ornament to the finest portion of the Em- pire City, and that its general effect id highly impressive. It is, we hope, the commencement of the good work of Deautifying our great metropolis, the people of which aro fond of art and willing to encourage it. The inaugura tion, with the exception of the military part, was nicely cone, The artist was properly noticed, and received his full share of the triumph. ‘The work has cost $30,000, which sum was subscribed by the following named gentlemen:— William B. Astor, Charles M. Leupp, Aug. Belmont, Edwd. B. Little, John Bridge, Peter Lortliard, Ixane Bell, Jr., James Lenox, James Brown, Andrew Mount, klward K. Collins, Samuel S. Mitehill, Wm.
