Napoleon's Statue.--The statue of Napoleon, it will be remembered, has, by an order of the President of the Council, been ordered to be replaced in the column of the Place Vendome. In announcing this fact, the Editor of the New York Commercial asked if the original statue was not in the possession of the Duke of Wellington?—The query has been answered by the Baltimore Chronicle, thus: "In answer to it we will state, on the authority of a gentleman acquainted with the facts, that the statue of Bonaparte, in the possession of Lord Wellington, and now in Apsley House, London, is of marble, made by Canova, and was obtained by Lord W. at Paris. The column upon which it stood was also of bronze, made in part of brass cannon acquired by Bonaparte in his various victories. It is encompassed with a series of his most brilliant actions in basso relievo."
