Amongst these prominent objects Warner's peal
of bells will be a centre of popular interest, as it
will give music, and probably employment to the
musical visitors. It will consist of a peal of
eight bells hung in a strong English oak frame,
with all the necessary fittings for ringing. The
weight of the tenor bell is to be eighteen hundred-
weight and a half, its diameter four feet, and its
note E. Below the frame will be fixed the chiming
apparatus, which can be worked bye child unac-
customed to music, who may correctly chime a
whole peal of six or eight bells. This result is ob-
tained-by turning a barrel fitted with a number of
tappets, which catch the levers in connexion with
hammers fixed on the frame and striking on the
outside of the bells ; but the hammers are so
arranged that they will iu no way interfere with
the ringing of the peal when required. An endless

adapted for small parishes, where it is difficult
to obtain good ringers.
This will not be the only music in the building,
even if the great organs are silent, and Class XVI.,
under the management of Mr. C. Boos&i, promises
to be as popular in 1862 as it was in 1851.
Grand pianos are to be exhibited in this class,
some remarkable for the beauty of their cases,
others for the richness of their tone and they are
to be well supported by every variety of stringed
and wind instruments. An oak piano of the time
of Charles the First will be shown, and an histori-
cal series of pianos, from the old harpsichord—the
favourite of our great graudmothers—down to the
improved instrument of the present day. In one
part of this collection will be a eelf-blowing har-
monium, the wind for which is supplied by clock-
work ; in another part a group of AU11421 harps,
and in another corner a double bass with a remark-
ably ingenious apparatus for producing enharmonic
sales of harmonics. Many valuable improvements
in the mechanism of pianos will be exhibited, and
the inner machinery of these domestic instruments
will be shown from the first stage to the last. An
oblique piano, with a new action, is a novelty in
its way, and also some metal bagpipes suitable for
tropical climates. A new music time-keeper is
worthy of notice ; also au omnitonic flute, adjust-
able at will to any key ; and the central object of
attraction to listeners rather than to sight-seers
will be the orchestrion, or self-acting organ, which
fairly imitates the melody of a full orchestra.
Art-manufactures are well officered, and well
represented.
Classes fifteen, twenty-eight, and thirty-eight (a),
comprising horological instruments, paper, sta-
tionery, printing and bookbinding, and art designs
for manufactures—the latter illustrative of British
art from 1762 to 1862—are under the superintend-
ence of Mr. J. Leighton, F.S.A.
In horology, the greatest novelties are improved
designs rather than new movements, though 'eve-
