AN ARCH OF IRON AND COAL.
When Queen Victoria made her recent visit to Wolverhampton, England, to dedicate the statue to Prince Albert, her cortege passed under six triumphal arches on their way through the principal streets. The chief of these arches was one of iron and coal, to which the Earl of Dudley contributed twenty-five tons from one of his famous collieries, some of it being hewn into blocks weighing two tons each. There was also an arch composed of hardware and japanned goods, among which coal scuttles were quite conspicuous.
