THE CIVIL ENGINEER AND ARCHITECTS JOURNAL. 



[Mav, 



St. George's ^HArRi., Windsor.— This sacreil edifice has jnst been embel- 

 lished with two additional splendid aUined glass windows, executed by Mr. Willement, oi' 

 London. These windows are in the north aisle of the chapel, immediately under the 

 Royal closet, and fflcinp the back of the tomb of King Edward the Fourth, and his Queen, 

 Elizabeth Wyd\ille. In the two centre compartments of one or the windows, are fuU- 

 length figures of Edward and his queen, attired in their robes of state, in devotional atti- 

 tilde, over the sacred volume. The two outer compartments contain the armorial bearings 

 of that monarch, and also of his queen. The other new window adjoining, is to be called 

 the " Rutland Window," and contains the arms of Ann, daughter of Richard Duke of 

 York, Thomas Earl of Rutland, Richard Duke of York, Richard Earl of Cambridge, and 

 Ann, daughter ef Thomas St. /.edgcr. Mr. Willement has al«o filled up the three com- 

 partments left in one of the new windows fronting the Royal closet with the arms of the 

 King of the French, the Duke Saxe Coburg and Gotha, and Philip Earl de Grey, the three 

 newly installed knights of the most honourable and noble Order of the Garter. 



Roman Tlnnel at Marseilles.— A short time since a para^apli appeared 

 In most journals, taken from the French papers, stating that a tunnel of Roman construc- 

 tion had been discovered at Marseilles under the mouth of the harbour. We are assured 

 by Mr. Simms, who was lately at Marseilles, that nothing fof the sort was known there. 



Atmosphfric Power.— At the Acadnnie tics Sciences M. Stourenel expressed 

 an opinion that the locomotive principle of atmospheric air might be rendered useful to 

 manufacturers, by transmitting to them at 'any distance' a supply of motive power, and 

 thus rendering steam engines unnecessary! We suppose that M. Stourenel was unaware 

 that his countryman Papin had tried a century ago what he recommends and failed. 



Mr. Lough's Statif. of the Q'/een. — The heroic statue of Her Majesty 

 Queen Victoria, for which &Ir. Lough received a commission from the Gresham Committee, 

 for the Royal Exchange, is completed. The statue represents Her Majesty in the robes 

 of the Order of the Garter, holding in one hand the ball or globe, and in the other the 

 sceptre. It is rather more than eight feet high, sculptured frem a singia block of Carrara 

 marble. The difficulty of representing a female figure so much beyond the size of life, 

 and yet preserWng the delicacy of feminine grace, has been tolerably well surmounted by 

 the artist, and there is nothing to convey the notion of a giantess, or of disproportion of 

 stature. The likeness is sufficiently accurate to convey the idea of tlie features and out- 

 line of Her Majesty's countenance. Mr. Lough has, however, not flattered the illustrious 

 original in this representation. The draperaies are exceedingly well arranged, and all 

 littlenesses of decoration have judicioHsly been avoided. The statue is in a pure and sini- 

 ple style of art. It partakes of classical conception without too much servility to anti- 

 quity, and will add to the reputation of the sculptor, whose previous labours have already- 

 placed him in a conspicuous ])Osition amongst the artists of the English school. 



.San Paulo at RnME.— A writer in the Qnarlerbj Reviciv observes, that the 

 restoration of this magnificent church, destroyed by fire in' IS2J, goes on but slowly.
