Seymour), the Rear-Admiral Superintendent Martin, and dockyard authorities, went over to Haslar Creek yesterday to inspect the plans for hauling up the screw gunboats on the cradles, and to place them under cover. The building takes up a vast space of ground contiguous to the lake. The Admiralty have purchased Lord Seymour's house in Spring-gardens, and contemplate opening it as the Coast Guard-office on the Ist Jan. next. It is rumoured that Admiral Stewart will be appointed to the North American and West Indian stations. Imperieusa and Amphion are ordered home from the West Indies.

The report is that 180,0001. will not cover the amount, but no accurate estimate can be formed until the auditors can make up a report, an operation which will occupy some weeks. As soon as the accounts can be arranged, the result will be made up for the purpose of being submitted to a generl meeting of proprietors. Mr. Leopold Redpatb, of 27, Chester-terrace, Regent's park, was, until a few days past, the Regi - trar of Shares and Transferer of Stock in the Great Northern Railway Company. Although his salary was not very extensive, amounting to something between 2501. and 3001. a year, he lived in a luxurious style in a fashionable house, had a box at the opera, was an habitue of the theatres, a Governor of Christ's Hospital and of the Royal S . Anne's Society, and a subscriber and director of many of the most prominent metropolitan charitable institu tions. There was scarcely ever a fashionable party, an operatic performanCe, or a gathering of the beau monde, in which the name of " Leopold Redpath, Esq.," did not appear. (Prom the Times. ) N.B.

REMAhKAB•_E ESCAPP, OP FRENCH PoLITICAL, etcfS()NEHS. In a recent article on the penal colony of Guyana the al oniteur stated that several political prisoners had found means to escape, hut it gave no details. A private letter brings some particulars on the suhi , ct of considerable interest. At the beginning of his year several political transports, confined in the Devil's Island, conceived 'he idea of escapiug. They cut 'town some trees and built i schooner, hut, owing to an acAdent in launching, the schooner struck and went to pieces. Nothing daunted, they set to work again, and, with such planks of the schooner as they were able to pick out of r he water, and the stump o f a large tr e e which floated down the Amazon river, they con structed a raft, on which, on the 7th of August For four whole days they floated last, seven men embarked i t n d sea e r a c r h l o a f t r l a il u a3 4 r o ty ra . slender stock of provisions on the sea, and at the end owf was t s a e t u n t t i i r m e l e y y , wheir i their raft west ashore on a mud bank. Two of the party—one an Italian named P'' another a Pole named B asenskia—leftilinauri, and t u a n d e a bo h a a t b a it n a d waded along in the mud hopin g . selves un a bl e t o d raw t h e i r l egs ou t o f tion. They wer e so wea k that they soon to t u h n e d them the heavy and their companions learned some days later th a t t h e i r dead bodies, half devoured by crabs, had been seen by a native. The five who had remained on the raft, finding that their c omra d es did not return, and being con vinced o f the hopelessness of looking for them, resolved to put to sea again. But to do this it was necessary to construct another raft, it being impossibl e to get the old one off the mud. For an entire week t hey floated up and down along the coast upon such pieces of wood as they had been able to detach from the raft, and during al this time they had nothing to eat but raw crabs, and nothin g to drink but salt water. 'At length they were fortunate enough to find a house, where they received succour. The names of these five meal Dwere Guerard, Bouguel, Ca.rpezal, Ch a b a i re , ahill Candre (of the department of the Indre aid Loire). A fortnight after their departure from the Devil's Island the other prisoners there learned the issue of an enterprise which it might have been thought utter madness to undertake. A bttrriiug desire to risk their lives in like manner fur their liberty ran through the colony. With he help of Government timber collected for build . ing purposes they found means to construct two afts, each capable of holding 20 men. Saturday, he 13th of Sepiember, was chosen for the depar ture of the expedition, Sav urday being the day ou which a week's provisions were served out to the prisoners. Thirty-four men in all got away on ooard the rafts. On the first raft were MM. Bor oaye, de Tours, Thjon, Chauvin, Attihert, Guertin, Divau ' S dern, C .rriere, Di me , Bowdon Jeaufrais Pan Herrey, Munttalcon, Ssronde, Pau., Bivart. Meunier, and Desalle. On the other were MM. Freuin, Guegnard, Tourmace, Desboie, Tris -on, Isar, B Dunaux, Vivant, Bonassieux, Bardiget, Angeliaurne, and Manvian. Toe weather was stormy for two days; it the 16th it became fine, but the night following was frightful. lu the moruisg of the 17th, however, the 20 men 'ii the first rats landed on a Dutch possession in a,loted by natives, who gave them so had a recsp ion that they resolved at once to start into the interior of the country MI foot.

The freight ship Forerunner sailed on Wednesday from Woolwich, laden with Ordnance stores for the Mauritius. The Covenanter likewise left Woolwich for the Cape. The experimental paddlewheel despatch vessels Bawn and Brune, intended for exploring purposes on the Nile, were yesterday morning taken into the outer basin of Woolwich Dockyaid. After a successful course of experi mental trials of speed and requisite capabilities, these vessels have been ordered by the Admiralty to be com pleted for service. The gunboats Pheasant, Ripple Quail, Prompt, Parthian, Porpoiso, Handy, and Hunter, of the light squadron, having undergone the necessary trials of machinery, were yesterday morning warped into the fitting basin at Wool wich Dockyard. Her Majesty's ecrew steam sloop Fawn, intended to carry 1G guns, was yesterday morning taken into No. 1 dock at Woolwich to receive engines and be brought forward for service. The iron paddlewheel steamer lately employed in the packet service in the Mediterranean has undergone consi derable repairs, and has been fitted in Woolwich Dockyard with new boilers and engines of increased horse-power, and speed. She is provided with new bulwarks and shelves, a new lower deck throughout, and will be shortly ready for re commission. The Vesuvius will be paid off to-day. Her Majesty's ship Pluto, preparing for coaqt service at Woolwich, will be out of the shipwrights' hand on Tuee day. The Abyssinian and. Covenantor transports arrived at Spitbead yesterday from the Thames to embark further portions of the British German Legion for the Cape of Good Hope. The Surveying ship Acton, 26, Commander Bate, bent sails at Portsmouth yesterday. The Stamboul freightship hauled alongside Portsmouth Dockyard yesterday to embark the wives of the German Legion for the Cape. The Raleigh, 50, Commodore Keppel, is expected hourly at Plymouth on the way to the Cape of Good Hope and the East Indies, where she will be stationed. The sto eship Industry, from Woolwich with machinery and moulding sand for Keyham-yard, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday. A screw steamship of 100 guns, to be called the Gib rifrltar, is Ordered tobe built at Devonport. The coal depot Jupiter having had defects made good was taken out of Keyham Dock on Tuesday. The wardroom and lower deck of the vengeance hulk; at Plymouth, have been supplie 1 with stoves for the ac commodation of the officers and crew of the Turkish fri gate Paki Zuffir, now fitting for a screw in the Devonport Dockyard. Yesterday another draught of troops, to the number of 196 men of all ranks, received their discharge at Chatham. The men discharged belonged to the 4th Royal Irish Dra- goon Guards, 2d Royal Dragoons, 11th Prince Albert's Hussars, 15th Hussars, 3d Buffs, 4th King's Own, 6th, 7th Royal Fusiliers, 13th Prince Albert's Light Infantry 17th, 18th Royal Irish, 19th, 20th, 23d Welsh Fusiliers, 25th King's On Borderers, 28th, 31st, 32d, 3 id, 35th, 38th, 39th, 41st (the Welsh), 411 Highlanders, 44th, 46th, 49th, 50th Queen's Own, 55th, 56th, 57th, 60th Rifles, 75th, 77th, 79th Highlanders, 81st, 82d, 88th Connaught Rangers, 90th Light Infantry, 94th, 97th, and the Ist and 3d battalions of the Rifle Brigade. A large number of those men ordered to be discharged had served in tho Kafir war, and also in that in the Crimea, and were deco rated with those medals. The whole of the disposable corps, consisting of 14 battalions of the Royal Artillery Regiment:, were yester day drawn up in divisions on the parade-ground of head quarters, Woolwich, and put through a coarse of drill and exercise in the use of the short carbine recently served out for general use. The junior officers of the regiment were likewise submitted to a separate course of drill with the now carbine. The latter exercises occupied upwards of two hours, each officer consecutively falling out of the ranks and fulfilling the duties of commanding-officer. The service generally will learn with much satisfaction that Sir Charles Wood has, in the handsomest manner possible, appointed Captain Craigie to the office of super intendent of Plymouth Dockyard, vacant by the removal of Captain Nias. Captain Craigie's public services as in spector general of the relief operations in Shetland during the famine in 1851.2, and more recently as chairman of the Transport Board, are too well known to require more than mere allusion to them. Such an appointment is creditable alike to Captain Craigie and the First Lord, as Captain Craigie has no interest beyond that which his merits have earned for him. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty ; Captain Robert Craigie, to be Superintendent of the Royal William Victualling-yard and the Royal Plymouth Hospital, vice Captain Nias, superseded ; Lieut. George Berlase, additional to the Royal Albert; Lieutenant John E. Doran, to the Childers.

Speed-the-Plough was first off, but quickly dropped back, and rialacua took the lead and carried on the running to the distance, where he was j aned by Maid of Derwent. Half way up Maid of Derwent passed Malacca and at last won very easily by two lengths, about five lengths separated the second from the third ; bad fourth ; Pole Star was fifth, Cardsharper sixth, Lance seventh, and Imogene eighth. Little Nell, Lough Bawn, and Prince of Orange headed the neat division.

GREAT SCULLERS' MATCH FOR £lOO. The great match between Henry Kelly, of Fulham, and Richard Bottle, of Norwich from Putney to Mort. lake, took place yesterday afternoon. This event, in consequence of the celebrity of the competitors, has created a great interest amongst all classes of rowing men ever since the match was made. The day being very fine, a great number of spectators assembled, and betting commenced at 6 to 4 on Kelly, and ultimately 2 to 1 was freely offered --the result fully justifying the confidence of Kelly's backers. At 25 minutes past 2, Kelly having won the toss for Et itions, an excellent start was effected, both going off a t a tremendous pace, and rowing together for about 100 yards, when Kelly began o draw ahead, and ~ f f Craven point was about a boat's length clear. Bottle here made a desperate spurt to regain the lead, but without succe-s. Kelly, k ee p ing steadily on, passed under Ham mersmith -brid ge about two lengths ahead, which lead he maintained till near Barnes-bridge, little more than half where Butte made another effort, and gained a little. From thence to the finish at Mortlake it was a in ist Y im .s e l , nl2li s ":7 m b in y utes. The sculls used eabxycbiltaineiyrlaewnceeg:tehiC.LLlTitiufactured by Mr. Robert Bain of Lambeth. Tne return match for 1001. between the same pen, for which the whole of the money is staked, is to take place at Norwich, from Surlingham to Thorpe, on Tuesday, Nov. 25, In consequence of the closeness of the above race we have no doubt the return match will excite in. tense interest.

The up-Im e was blocked up for several hours by the debris of the wag gons, but by the arrangements of Mr. King, of the Pontypool station, and Mr. Mogford, of th e P ontnewydd station, the down-line was worked both ways, and the station p a ssenger train for Hereford was sent 011 its journey in three-quarters of an hour. The second collision happened in the afternoon, The on, near f r r y oin sia H ti e oc e , f o n r o d t 1 far eft telnra Abergav enn The about a quarter past 1 o'clock, and it h a d not proceeded far before it came t o a shar p curve near the Nantyderry station.

The engine was thrown upon its side doan the embankment, and mere or less the train presented the appearance of a wreck. How so many of the passengers escaped instant deal is marvellous, and equally so is the escape of the driver and stoker of the express. Two gentlemen were killed. Their names we have not learnt, but one was a traveller fora Wolverhampton boot and shoe manufactory. Seve ral persons were severely bruised, amongst whom was the guard of the express. The dead bodies were removed to I Abergavenny. It was half.rst 5 this evening be , re th. passengers by the express r eache d Newport. H a d all 1 gone right the express would have been hereabout 2 p.m. Ae principal registrar of stock, Mr. Redpath bad, of course, the entire c , introl of that department of the com pany's business. The investigation of the books since his disappearance—for he left the office in a somewhat hasty , manner on Tuesday last, and ha 4 not since been heard of —his shown that the frauds have been prpetrated in the' following manner :—When Mr. Redpath, who was the principal registrar, bad to issue a 1001. stock, it appears that he added an "0 " t , ) the amount, thus making it 1,0001. on the company's books. This opera tion was not confined to 1001., but extende I to stock of 2001., 3001., and 5001:, so that out of every 1001. stock transferred he gained 9001. The directors appear not, to have made any examination into the accounts, pro bably because they never had any Suspicion of their officer, and it has been to them a mystery for some years past that they were called upou to pay dividends upon 15,0001. or 20.0001. more than according to their au sited accounts they were liable for. Two or three weeks since, however, the directors established a dis tioct department for the purpose of securing a strict investigation of the company's accounts. The officials of this new department met on Monday last, and on Tuesday morning they reassembled for the purpoie of entering upon their duti-3. Soon atter they met Mr. Redpath entered their room, and said to the chief clerk, " What are you going to do I" The chief clerk replied, "To go through all the accounts frim the commencement of the company." Mr. Redpath replied, "That is a per fectly useless proceeding. You will find all the accounts right in the gross, and it is of no use entering into de tails." The chief clerk said, "We are bound to go into the whole of the accounts, as the directors have given us explicit directions to do so, and we wish to begin with the numerical register." Mr. Redpath took up one of the books and then threw it down again, saying, " Well, if that is your intention, I will have nothing to do with it." He then said to one of the officers, " I am going out for a few minutes " He went, but he never returned. Previous, however, to his departure, he sent one of the ticket-porters belonging to the railway, to the Unioa Bank, in A rgyll-place, for the title deeds of his house in Chester.place, and for other securities which were lodged there in his name, directing him to meet him with the documents at Chester-place. The porter misapprehend ing his instructions took the parcel he received from the Bank, to the Great Northern Railway, and the officials f the Company have taken possession of it, and notice has been given at the bank to withhold his balance until lurth,r inquiry. As soon as the discovery of the frauds was made di rectioni were given to the police to take possession of Redpath's house in Chester-terrace. This was done, and almost simultaneously Inspector Willia,ns arrested Mr. Charles James Cumming Kent, a young man aged 25, 'rim was a clerk in the register office, over which Mr. R dpath, presided. Mr. Kent, who is supposed to have been the dupe of Rodpath, was arrested at his residence in Castle•terrace, Hampstead .•oad, and he immediately afterwards underwent a private examination at Cier kenwell Police Court. He was remanded until Tuesday next, and is now in the 'custody of the Governor of the House of Detention. A warrant has been granted for the apprehension of Leopold Redpath, who is still a fugitive from justice. Re is described as being about 45 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches in height, with fair complexion, brown, half*. He walks in a hurried or " jolting" manner. He dresses well, but not foppishly, and his general demeanour indicates a per-on of extremely quiet habits and good position in Si ,cie ty._. The - directors of the Great Northern Railway appear to have been acquainted with the expensive habits of their servant, and to have been aware i hat 3001. a year could not have met his expi-nses. Singularly enough, a feeling prr , vaoed that be filled his revomible office simply from a desire of having 'something so do ; and this opi nion was confirmed by the fact that ho made large con tributions to the many religious and charitable institu tions with which the metropolis abounds. ALLEGED ROBBERY AND MURDER AT FRITH EMT'', KENT, Thursday Evening.—For the past few days the grease-t excitement has prevailed in this usu al:y quiet village and the surrounding neighbourhood in consequence of the discovery ~f the dead body of a young man at a place known as Park Spring C.pse, about a mile from this station. It appears that as a working man named Thos. Sewell was proceeding up the avenue leading to Lesnes House, Lesues Park, the mansion of Captain Wheatley, at a quarter-past 11 on Saturday . morning last, he disc ivered the dead body of a man lying on the grass amongst some trees in the avenue known as Park Spring Copse. The spot is about 400 yards from the road, and the man sion is at present unoccupied. Sewell, seeing that the man was lying in a pool of blood, was in the act of hast ening for assistance, when about 21. yards from the body, he saw a man's coat, and about the same distance off, in an opposite direction. he found a cap, both of which arti cles evidently belonged to the man, as he was without either on his body. Sewell then went for assistance, and the body was conveyed in a shell to Erich dead-house. There was a carpenter's gouge or round chisel lying in the deceased's hand covered with blood, and no doubt that was the instrument with which the wounds were inflicted. When the body was stripped there were found to he no fewer than 16 wounds (stabs) iu and about the region of the heart. From one of the wounds (a very se vere one near the breast and very large) there was a por tion of the left lung protruding. A great number of persons visited the dead house, but were not able to identify the body. In the pockets were found a second-class railway ticket from Waterloo to Wandsworth a week cid, three halfpence in money, and a catalogue a t.ale in the York-road, Battersea, on Sept.. 27, 1855. with the name of John Cox written on the fly leaf. Notwithstanding the fact that the descrip tion wa s widely circulatea the body was not ideutifiei until after the inquest had been opened. Mr. C. Cartttr, the coron r .r East Kent, having issued his warrant, a jury was empannelled at the Rut - ning Horses Tavern to inquire into the death of the deceased. _ Thos. Sewell and police-constable Turner having deposed to the finding of the body as above narrated, A female, name.. Parkins, said she was the wife of a fisherman living at Er th. For a few days previous to th e body being found, she had seen a young man about the village, whom she thought to be a person whom, when she was living at Wandsworth, she knew as John Carter. She ha.l seen the body, and she was of opinion that it was that of Carter, but it was not the mau she had seen in Erith as she had thought. At this stage of the proceedings, Several jurors ,expre•sed an opinion that there should be forth r evidence brought before them, as they felt far from satisfied with the case as it stood. The inquest was accordingly adj..urned. Later in the day, the family of the deceased, who carry on business as market gardeners at Wandswertb, identi fled the body as that of George Carter, aged 28. It was stated by the relatives that the young man was in g god health and spirits up to the day preceding the discovery of his body. He left his home on the Friday, having with him, it is supposed, between 601. and 801., since which nothing was heard of him until he was found dead, with only 10. in his pocket, upwards of 20 ini'es from his home, from which he had not been absent 24 hours. In pursuance of the order of the ooroner at the opening of the investigation, a very minute examination of th bedy has been made by Dr. Oates, an eminent physician of this place, and it has been found that there are 16 punctured wounds in the chest, breast, and ribs on the left side. Of these injuries no less than five have pene trated the heart, one being in the apex, which is a fleshy part without important arteries, a second in the right aurice, and the other three are in the left ventricle of the heart. The whole of the latter four are in the most dan gerous part. One of the wounds in the heart was three inches deep, being the centre of the three in the left ven tricle, corresponding exactly with the external incision through which the portion of the lung protruded. In ad dition to the injuries above stated, there was an exten sive fracture of the skull at the back part of the head. A portion of the skull about the size of an egg was beaten into the brain. Various rumours are afloat in the village, and the greatest excitement prevails, every exertion being used to sift this mysterious affair to .the utmost. Sergeant Ebbs holds the case in hand, and is prosecuting the ni -1 quiry with the greatest assiduity and perseverance. SUDDEN DEATH OF A LIVERPOOL MERCHANT. — LIVERPOOL, Thureday.-7t is with regret we announce the very sudden demise of Mr. Samuel Johnston, a mer chant engaged in the South American trade, and a mem ber of the firm of 'Messrs S. Johnston and Co.. Orange court. The deceased left his resi lenco, New Brighton, Cheshire, this morning, and arrived by the usual ferry boat. He called immedia ely in the office of his solicitor, Mr. John North, Exchange-alley, and was engaged in transacting some-business when he complained of being ill, and although medical aid was at once called in, life was on its- arrival extinct. Deceased was much respected. He was 6 'years of age, and brother-iu-law to Mr. Brimley-Moore, M,P. for Mallon. Tbis great success—for we may at once ease our readers' minds on this point—in the art of bell making gave tongue for the first time yesterday morning at a few minutes past 11 o'clock. The monster clapper, weighing 16 cwt., arrived last week, and, having been fitted with great expedition, notice was given to a number of official and scion • t-fic celebrities that a strictly private trial of Big Ben's powers of utterance and modulation was to take place. So, precisely at eleven, a band, beaded by Mr. E. B. Denison, Q.C., its accomplished de signer, and Mr. Taylor, assembled within the hoard ing at the foot of the Westminster Clock 'Tower ; some with tuning keys ready to apply to their mouths, some with their ears stuffed with cotton, lest their tympanums should crack, and some man fully trusting that their ears would stand the sound. All were in anxious expectation, and awaited with mixed feelings of impatience and awe the first accents of the monster. Children are said to be born imperfect in every respect excepting their tongues of this all fathers blessed with ° progeny have had aural demonstration ; but this Frankenstein-- this Bell of Bells, though born, is unable to leap his tongue or to give the faintest lisp without nelp, and yesterday morning this help was supplied by six or eight sturdy artisans, who tugged lustily with a measured strp,in at ropes attached to Big Ben's clapper. Now the bells of S. Margaret's, and of the Abbey, struck 11, loud enough iu their way, but soon to be put to silence. With the north-east breeze came booming down, a moment after, the sound of another bell, still the greatest in England, but in a few minutes to_ le—immeasurably passed in sound, and destined to take the second place. It was the Last protest of the Great Ball of St. Paul's, ci decant Great Tom of Westminster, which at once proclaimed its own power and rung in the suprenialy of the mighty rival, swingin4 over the very spot on which it had once itself steed, to whom its sceptre of sound was now about to depart for ever. If bells can feel, no doubt the Great Bell at St. Paul's felt sad at that moment, and " Big Ben" proportionally triumphant, but externally the latter made no sound as the voice of his antagonist came wailing up the Thames, and he looked as firm and unmoved as the First Com missioner of Works when he is listening to the re proaches of a deputation. Well, iow the time has come. As Wallenstein told his soldiers to fight or rot, so Big Ben must now speak or split. By his voice we shall show him. Be there flaw or crack in him out it now must come. So the sturdy fellows in fustian pull with a will, at first somewhat jerkingly and excitedly, Mr. Denison lending a willing hand as leader in that honest team. One, two, three, and then such an awful, solemn, heartrending sound ; like a potent poison, the vibration penetrates every vein in the body, it strikes every nerve, it attacks and tries every fibre and muscle, it makes your bones rattle and your marrow creep. In despair of describing a sensation which combines all sensations and invades the body by so many senses, we can only call it a liquid blow ; it strikes you all over your frame at once, and, net content with mas tering your outworks, it steams into and per vades and floods your inner man in as iustaut of time. So much for the first stroke, the work of a moment, an electric shook intensified, which it has taken so many words to describe, even imper fectly. The men are not in good gear, and tug somewhat hurriedly ; the second sun third strokes are faltering, and cause our Frankenstein to give an "uncertain sound ;" the fourth and tiftf, and so stroke after stroke, with rare exceptions, corns truly home. And now arises a wondrous conflu ence of vibration as the air in the confined space under the clock-tower is lashed into fury by the tempest of sound. Many stop their ears—and, if any of Mr. Denison's detractors were present, it must have amused him to see the attitude of these " deaf adders, who refused to bear the voice of the charmer"—scoffers who, perhaps, came to exult over a defeat and remained to swell a triumph. But to return. Many stop their ears ; many would run away if they dared, and some did, saying they preferred to hear it a little way off, but Ow true friend of science neither stopped his ears nor thought of running away. He stayed and braved out the brazen surge of sound around him and re velled in its vibrations with the same exci!ement and delight as when a- man stands upon a wind smitten headland on a stormy day, and joys to feel the wind pour down on him blast after blast, and to see each gust as it tears its way towards the land, smoothing its path across the rolling sea. Now the men begin to feel fatigued and a signal is given to cease for a while, and hero it is most curious to mark the cessation of sound and the gra dual decline of vibration ; for long after the metallic ring had ceased there followed a strange mysterious after-noise, a sound between the trickling of a slender rill arid the dry shivering rustle of autumn leaves hustled together by a gust across a hard gravel-walk. This is the thin ghost of Big Ben's full utterance. In such dry husky accents did th , shade of the great A.chilles address the wandering Odysseus when he told him the life of a serf on this warm, genial, upper earth was worth a king's crown down in that gloomy nether realm of Hades. But even the husky whisper has ceased, and silence is again restored. We look at our neigh bours. Well, we don't think any of them have had their tympanums split, though some are cautiously removing their cotton. Opinions are compared, and we are happy to say that it is universally ackuow ledged that the bell is with )ut crack or fl tw, a per fect piece of casting. So much for Mr. Warner, the founder. He may sleep happy. Well ! but for the sound ; how do M. Deniso s innovations of shape, material, and mixture answer ? What is the sound as expressed in musical scale ? Here, again, opinion appears to be untnimous. Mr. Denison had prophesied—for it could scarcely be anything else than prophecy—me mean of that scien tific kind which can boast of its fulfilment before the event—that it was to be E natural. And here all the praiseworthy persons who had their tuning-keys in their mouths luring the trial declare Big Ben's voice to be pure natural E. At this moment seine one suggi-s a that Mr. Turie and tlve Abbey and its maguincent organ are close at hand—what easier than to run over to the Abbey •nd to check the sound of the hell by the organ ? Away goes ;he indefatigab:e Mr. Denison, and u a short time comes back with the iufoimation that Mr. Tittle confirms the opinion that it is a pure natural E, the sound it was meant to be. We do not know that in these days of univPrsal failure we can praise anything more highly than by saying, especially if it be matter of experiinental science, that it turns out what it was meant to be. Big Ben's voice has turned out what it • was meant to be, and when it says—" Here I am, E natural,—strike me, buffet me, crush me if you can, with a clapper of Newt., not one syl lable of anyihing else shall you got out of me than that. "E riatui al I am, and E natural I shall re main till Jove splits me with his thunder." When the bell says this, we do not know that any words of ours can add one syllable more to the learned gen tleman's justly-earned 'need of praise. Mr. Denison hashed, as our readers know, a hard battle about this bell. He has routed his foes, he has carried his point, the bell has answered his expectations; what more can we say except to cosigratrilate him on his signal triumph ? It is true th tt a critical friend of ours, over whel9ed with the first tumult of sound, trio I to whisper in our ear that the bell was a dead failure. He forgot, however, that a bell of this size, espe cially if irregularly struck as this was, can never be a very pleasant companion when you are within two yards of it. A 68 pounder would be quite as agreeable. A bell of these proportions is intended to be hung some 200 feet above your head. It is meant to be heard miles in all directions ; in fact, t it is only meant to be heard at a considerable dis tance. All the world are not Quasimodos,he of this top the whole metropolis will not live up at i tower close to the bell, and therefore it ill to be o Whe a n supposed allowance t f li o a r t h o i u s r el f o r s i o enddi t proximityii ink,e'asuauffiidciethrret jarring vibrations of whole strokes - and half-strokes, he uttered his opinion. We are happy to add that his doubts were removed by a short walk, for, on retiring from the spot, it was found that as we receded from the tower the • voice of Big Ben rapidly assumed, in spite of its enormous volume, a soft melodious sound, until when we reache I the middle of St. Margaret's churchyard—no great distance, after all—it was i m — • bl possi e to conceive a deeper or a finer tone. So much for the sake of truth and as an instance of the best way to remove the scruples of these " doubting Thomases" who will not make due allowances for time and space. If any one stands before the bell and fancies lie detects a jar, let him remember that the laws of proportion are universal, that the frescoes of Michael Angelo and the mosaics of St. Peter's are meant to be seen afar off, just as Big Ben is meant to be heard afar off ; and that if scientific men will scramble up to the one on lad ders, and will list-. n within two feet of theother, ''' ''' ' • ---- ni I they must expect to fi n d th e lineament346clli t ing I of the frescoes distorted and grotesq*' .‘ nee:t f fit.Le; 1 sound of the bell o ccas i ona ll y j arr i ng ands teeranuititerr' Returning to the foot of Ihe t.ower weVii(Vitt- ' adventurous band, headed by Sit., a ,H:01 aucalr. £1 Denison, about to scale its height, bent on seeiroe ' where the bell was finally to he hung. To those who bad mounted Antwerp Tower or scaled the Gothic lacework of Strasburg, 200 feat, egrecially up an unworn staircase lighted with gee, is ix) very arduous-undertaking ; still, keeping historic truth' always in view, wo are compelled to say that if any of the " deaf Adders" before allud e . ed to were of this climbing party thef_becaroe • "puff adders" ere they reeehedthe top. Deans and bishops and ecclesiastical dignitaries ought never to climb tihoie their tf:rones or prebendal stalls. Fancy a dignitary of the Church suddenly becoming broken-winded 150 feet above the ground, in a narrow staircase. How is he to get up 1' How is he to get down ? Who is to pass him ? There he stands, a bulwark of Church and State, :in his proper pla ce , no doubt, but a great 'obstacle here, puffing and pa n ti ng like a Christmas bullock half way up a high tower. Now we are two-thirds up the tower, above the clock-dial, more than 200 feet above the pavement s and just where the stonework ends and iron begiw,. Here, on a frame of wood not yet erected, " Big Ben" is to be hung. Mr. D en i son con f esses a -de sire that his bell should be hung still• higher up, in the open gallery of iron-work above the' stone. The feasibility of this was discussed, and, after an extempore debate, which, at any rate, was, not weary ing from itslength it seemed to be thegeneral opinion. that the lo eer site is best, due regard being had to its more extensive area, while the higher position would tend to check and confuse the vibration, owing to the too great proximity of the bell to the iron of.which the top of the tower is composea. S o for the nresent we are advised to prefer the-lower site, and we descend to the ground, highly delighted wish our morning's work. - Bat before we leave this subject we must:make some remarks on the name now commonly given to the bell ; and certainly, as we first christened it, no one can have a bete , — right e to stand up for our seod child. Some de' y courtly perenns on i te top of th e truerleete Le-eebring the vulkar4 Of the ' tOrna — frigrnen." In a spirit of flattery-,-from which we are entirely free, as we do not expect to become great Government contractors, to farm the sewers, to be raised. to the vacant bishopric which that Pope, L , rd Palmerston, obstinately keeps ,in, petto, or even to become a simple dean—in a spirit of flattery we say, some of these worthy people, of whose profession and position we are entirely igno rant, and none of whom it is therefore . requested will suppose that they are meant, were deploring that it was a pity the bell was net called "the Royal Albert," or "The Lady Victoria," or "the Princess Royal," or "the Crown Princess of Prussia," or anye. thing courtly, or, as the Germans' would express it, "vornekm," instead of this odious " Big Ben," so willingly adopted by that stupid public. We are ready at once to admit that these Sempeons of flat tery have a happy talent for dragging in the Royal family on all occasions, but we cannot congratulate them on their ears. The name of a bell must be 'short and glib ; it must run trippingly ; it must repre sent a sound; it must be English. Now, " Vic toria" and "Albert " are honotfred' names, but they are not short or glib. Therare neither of them particularly English in sound. In a word, they may be fit for anything else, but they .are not fit for a hell, and if given the public will not accept them. We are glad to say that Sir Benjamin Hall when appealed to on the subject, replied in a man ner not very encouraging to the objectors ; while Mr. Denison observed that he was afraid, the bell was already christened, and that it was too late to change the name. We wonder what the courtly flatterers of the age of the Planta genets thought of all the " Great Toms" which sprung .up out; of the blood of a certain low born Themas, sometime Archbishop of Canter bury. We daresay they thought them horridly vulgar, but, though 'Becket's bones were scattered to the winds after an idolatry of more than three centurieS, yet his name still survives in our English " Great Toms." We do not know that "ißeia" is worse in this respect than "Tom ;" both are aw fully vulgar, no doubt, though we know some good: men and true called "Torn," but both are decent English, and they certainly agree in this, that no English King has ever sat on the Throne either as Thomas or Benjamin. " En Thema) laude resono bim born sine fraude," ran the . old monkish Leonine on Becket's bells. Would not " Victoria laude resono Big .Ben sine frande"— where we beg all good Englishmen to excuse the false quantity for the sake of the loyalty of the sen timent—be as good for our Great' Westminster Bell ; t,r would our courtly flatterers prefer alegend which we remember to have seen on some tho roughly foreign un English bell, hanging over a 1 3 ,,1ace gate, and containing much mere brass in its composition than this of Mr. Denison ? "MENTIOR ET ASSENTIOR." RISE OF THE RAT& OF DISCOUNT. The Bank of England yesterday resolved upon an advance to a uniform rate of 7 per cent. It was on the 6th of last month they adopted 6 per cent. for bills not having more than two months to run, and 7 per cent. for all bills over two and under three months. There will lam be no dis tinction between the two classes of paper. At the same time the course adopted on Tuesday of declining to rediscount bills for the brokers hav ing more than 30 days to run will be persevered iu. This, however, is not a matter of importance, since it is a practice constantly resorted to when ever the immediate prospects of the money market have been of an uncertain character. Moreover, the usual monthly loans will be made on all hills maturing within 95 days. The announcement of the advance to 7 per cent. ooca.ioned considerable surprise. Last week a in couldl fsaet ' occupy. general impression prevailed of the passibility of a new, movement, but the anticipation had since, without any very clear cause, almost wholly sub sided. Nevertheless, there has been every dispo sition to recognise in it a continuance of the sound policy which kept the financial world free from all shocks during the war, and which has thus far averted the possibility of our being permanently damaged by the subsequent break up of the conti nental inflation. In the five weeks since the last .advance was notified the Bank bullion has undergone a further diminution of more than a million, and the foreign exchanges have in many quarters necorne less favour able, while the applic,,tions for discounthavelately been on a scale again to trench on the reserve of unemployed notes. The fact is also to be noticed that these immediate changes are not to be attri buted to any unsound action on the part of the Bank of France. If such were t ie case a new rise in the rate of discount would scarcely be of much use. But that establishment for two Or three weeks past has abstained from its irregular operations, and the French rate of exchange has consequently again approached a point at which gold might be sent away in ordinary course. The question was, there fore, whether this condition of circumstances was to be allowed to go on. It is true the arrival of the overdue gold from Australia might exercise an influence on the continent, whither it would be at once despatched, which would react well on this side, hut it could not do more for the moment than prevent the in iney market from becoming worse, and the thing desired is an action that shall put an rr end, prevails , a i i f ls possible, o t d o uo t e h , e if ch o r n e l n y ic uncertainty that manner, a turn of the tide.
