# Henry Ellis (diplomat)

Sir Henry Ellis, KCB, PC (1 September 1788 – 28 September 1855) was a British diplomat and politician.

## Life

Ellis was an illegitimate son of Robert Hobart, 4th Earl of Buckinghamshire. In his career he served for six years in the civil service of the East India Company; and in the Bengal Presidency he held the post of private secretary to the president of the board of control. In 1814 he was sent to Persia as minister plenipotentiary ad interim, and returned from that country in the following year, having successfully negotiated a treaty of peace.
In 1816 Ellis accompanied William Pitt Amherst, 2nd Baron Amherst on his embassy to China, in the capacity of third commissioner. On their return from China in HMS Alceste, Amherst and Ellis were wrecked off Borneo. They were forced to make for Java in an open boat, and reached Batavia after a voyage of several hundred miles. They went back to rescue the other survivors, in the Indiaman Ternate. Ellis reported that an impression could be produced at Beijing only by a knowledge of the military strength of the United Kingdom.
Ellis's financial situation worsened after his father's death in 1816. He took a job as deputy colonial secretary in the Cape of Good Hope in 1819, and was elected Member of Parliament for Boston in 1820, as a Tory. The two positions proved incompatible, and after some delay his defeated opponent William Augustus Johnson had Ellis removed from parliament, in 1821.
Ellis was commissioner of customs 1824–25, clerk of the pells from 1825 until the abolition of the post in 1834, and commissioner of the board of control 1830–35. In 1831, He was also appointed to serve on the Government Commission upon Emigration, which was wound up in 1832.
In July 1835 Ellis was appointed ambassador to Persia, but gave up that appointment in November of the following year. He was despatched on a special mission to Brazil in August 1842, and at the close of 1848 he was appointed by the British government to attend the conference at Brussels on the affairs of Italy.
Ellis was made a privy councillor in 1832, and in 1848 was created a K.C.B. On his retirement from the diplomatic service he was awarded a pension of £1,400 per annum, together with a second pension for the abolished office of clerk of the pells. He died at Brighton, on 28 September 1855.

## Works

Ellis published in 1817 an authorised narrative of the journey and transactions of the Amherst embassy. In 1830 he issued a Series of Letters on the East India Question, addressed to the members of the two houses of parliament.

# Sacerdos Cereris

Sacerdos Cereris, sacerdos Cerealis or sacerdos Cereris publica was the title of the Priestess of the goddess Ceres in Ancient Rome. It was one of two Roman state cults to include female priests (the other being the Vestals).
The worship of Demeter and Persephone were introduced in Rome as the worship of Ceres and Proserpina, as well as the Roman versions of Thesmophoria (sacrum anniversarium) and Eleusinian Mysteries (initia Ceres), where Roman wives and daughters sacrificed a sow and enacted the drama between the goddess and her daughter.
This cult was supervised by the priestesses of Ceres. As the cult was originally Greek, the priestesses, at least initially, were selected among Greek women from Naples and Elea. They had a high position in Roman society, where they were the only priestesses aside from the Vestals who were active within a publicly funded state cult.

# Bailey Level Gold Mine

51°52′23″N 2°30′57″W﻿ / ﻿51.8731°N 2.5159°W﻿ / 51.8731; -2.5159
Bailey Level is a former gold mine and iron mine in the Forest of Dean, England. The mine and surface features are currently managed by volunteer members of Lea Bailey Light Railway Society.
The gold mine was started by the Chastan Syndicate in 1906. Shares were offered at £1 each (equivalent to £136 in 2023). Some 75,000 shares were sold. (equivalent to £10,189,807 in 2023) However, test workings at Lea Bailey and nearby Staple Edge concluded that the small amount of gold present could not be extracted economically and the syndicate was wound up in 1908.
The mine was later extended and some 3,000 long tons (3,048 t; 3,360 short tons) of iron ore were extracted — a small amount compared to the 150,000 long tons (152,407 t; 168,000 short tons) extracted from the nearby Wigpool Ironstone Mine.

# Listening (band)

Listening was an American psychedelic rock band formed in Boston, Massachusetts in the late 1960s.
Listening became the leading Boston stage act in 1968 and was an example of what is now called the Bosstown Sound. The band released one self-titled album on the Vanguard label and one non-LP promo single. The group is famous for its ambiguous song lyrics, sometimes related to marijuana and psychedelic acid trips.
The group's sound reflected a confluence of hard rock and psychedelic influences, with added elements of progressive rock. Nevertheless, some of songs, such as "9/8 Song" and "Cuando" were gentler. The band's approach had a great impact in the period and helped define the Bosstown Sound. Michael Tschudin, a leading figure, was an accomplished and inventive piano player and organist. Bassist Walter Powers had previously played with the Lost and ended up in Boston punk groups until the 1970s.

Signa borders the following municipalities: Campi Bisenzio, Carmignano, Lastra a Signa, Poggio a Caiano, Scandicci.

## History

The origins of Signa are uncertain. Most likely it already existed in ancient times, although it is not known if it was founded by the Etruscans or by Romans.
It is also scarcely mentioned in the Low Middle Ages: Charlemagne donated to one of his captains a "Castle of Signa", although this is disputed. The local pleban churches of San Giovanni Battista and San Lorenzo are mentioned in a 977/978 AD document.
Signa acquired local importance in the 14th century after the construction of a nearby bridge, the only one in the area allowing passage of the Arno river. It was conquered by condottiero Castruccio Castracani and is also mentioned in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy.
Signa became an important centre of craftmanship in the 19th century.

Signa is a typical Tuscan town. On the day after Easter, there is an important religious festival in honour of the Beata Giovanna. There is a procession that parades in the streets of Signa, and many people wear old costumes.
In Giacomo Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, the "molini di Signa" (mills of Signa) are the most coveted by his relatives of Buoso Donati's properties.
The 1875 novel Signa by Ouida (Mary Louise Ramé) is set in Signa.
