Sin PIII Lkllllll 031 von BELL•TOLLI:10 " Nil-
SANCE."—Sir Peter Laurie wished to call the attention of
the vestry to a matter which he con.idered a very great
nuisance, and be did en now as he saw their reverend
rector and one or two other members of the clergy in their
playa. It was a palatial is Marylebone and whet arieteastie
pular. alma pop* of wealth were dying, to toll at the
caulk mint mastssed the " passing bell." New, he viewed
this walks ad may so • great absurdity and a remnant elf •
Papery, but as as antes nuisance to those who resided is
the vicinity of the churches, for they were constantly being
senoyed all day by the dismal ding dong" of the " pining
bell. ' lie hoped that the clergy in this enlightened ego
would see the absurdity of the practice, and discontinue We
miserable remnant of Popish mummery.—The Dean of
Chichester said, as far as he was personally concerned, hi
had noobjection to adopt the suggestion of the worthy knight,
but he considered he had no power in the matter.—The ftdry.
Chairman could not allow the observations of Sir Peter
Laurie to pass without making one or two remarks upon the
subject. He denied that the tolling of the bell was •rensnant
of Popery, or that it could do harm to any one. The parties
who chose to pay for having the bell tolled on each Ma-

Noes mold compel it to he doe, and he considered the clergy
bad no isinenee to prevent it.—The subject then dropped,
sod the vestry separated.

ARTISTS' GENERAL BENEVOLENT INSTTTDTION.—
The anneal festival of the.members of this institution, which
us founded in 1814 for the relief of decayed artists, their
widows, and orphans, was celebrated oa Saturday, in the
FRCOLLSOII,' hall. Thomu Baring, Eon., M.P., presided,
in the absence of Mr. Samuel Jones Loyd, who was pre-
voted from attending in consequence of ill-health. The
csaireenn, in proposing the toast of the evening, observed
upon 'the national importance of the institution. He be-
lieved that there was no society better directed, although di-
rected by gentlemen who were themselves unconnected witn
artists, and were only influvaced in giving their time and
attention to its affairs by lore of the arts and these cannecte
with them. The objects of the society he considered in the
highest degree entitled to support, as he conceived it
to be a national debt of gratitude to contribute
to the support of artists who might stand in
need of each assistance ; conducing so much as
they did to the refinement of public manner
and public taste. If, then, there was any clans which
had peculiar claims upon public sympathy and sup-
port, it was artists. lie proposed " Prosperity to the Artists'
Gored Benevolent Institution. Other toasts baring been
drink, it was announced that the receipts of the society
durind the past ear, amounted to 1,7021. 55., out of which a
balance remained of 5491. 12a. 6d. The sum of 6801, had
beta expended in relief during the year, making a total,
from the commencement, of 995 cases, relieved by sums
amounting to 10,5631. 7s. 103. The amount oollected during
the evening amounted to 5601., which included 21/. from the
chairman of the day, and 601. from the directors of the
British Institution.
A SIGHT FOR THE MONDAY HOLIDAY FOLKS.—
A grand stud of 60 horses, 12 camels, and several elephants,
arrived at Euston-square terminus of the Birmingham rail-

FIRE AT BLACRWALL.—On Saturday morning an
extensive fire broke out at the large manufacturing premises
01 Hems. Samuds, Brother,. engineers. in Crakerd-plan.
between Bow Creek and the East India Docks. The fire was
Heat discovered by the private watchman a few minutes after
six o'clock, when a portion of the centre floor of a newly-
erected building, three stories high, was in flames. A most
agwous effort was instantly made by the workmen who had
just assembled to stop the progress of the flames, but with-
out effect, and very little of the Roods therein could be
rescued from their ravages. An engine from the neighbour-
ing glassworks was the first that arrived and got to work,
bat the Ham quickly penetrated to the top story, fiiiett with
patterns ot a most costly character and diffieult to be re-
placed. At the same time the tire descended into the lower
d.or, to vl as the rivetting department, and in a very brief
period the whole of 'he immense building. was wrapped
in flames. The dock engines were quickly put in
a working condition, but from there being no water
mains laid down in the district, their services were
of little avail, the tide bring down in the river.
flubsequently,Mr. Superintendent Braidwood, with seven or
tight engines of the brigade, arrived, and a powerful muster
of firemen reached the spot, but they were of little use ; 11,1
rest was the want of water, that until the tide rose they
could not be got into operation. At length the roof of the
place fell in with a fearful crash, carrying along with it ell
that remained of the floors, after which tho front wall
kited considerably, and it was found necessary to set men
to work to prop it up and prevent it toppling over into
the street. Although every person exerted himself to the
tamest, the fire was not wholly extinguished until late in
the day. The origin of the calamity cannot be accounted
for. Two men were at work in the lower floor so late as ten
o'clock on Friday night, and when they left, they state that
the building appeared perfectly free from fire. The exact
aroma of damage it unknown, but at a moderate ;calcula-
tion it will reach several thousand pounds. The second
Hoot, termed the store, contained prepared leather, valued
at 4,11001. The brass castings in the rivetting department
wen valued at nearly 1,0001., independently of the loft of
area block', tubes, and the valuable patterns. Insurances
in the Phoenix and Imperial offices will partially cover the
lace. The remainder of the manufactory, iecludwg the
slam-works and turning comport:matte, was uninjured.
EXTRAORDINARY BLUNDER IN THE " POST-
mica DIRECIORY."-Sir,-Pray where is Basinghal-
grest ? I have consulted the " Post-office Directory "to
fled it in vain. Where then is the Bankruptcy-court,
Guildhall-chambers, the Sheriffs' of London offices, the
Hailers' and Coopers' Halls? Sir, on seeking this infers:Ra-
na from the same deceiving source at page 116, I was sent
to Basing-place, Waterloo-road. I'ray, have the Waterloo-
bridge Company fce'd Mr. Kelly to make all the poor fel-
lows--who, like me, do not know London, and have
business to transact in the Bznkruptcy-court—pay toll
monetarily, besides the penalty of a long walk. ?—A

Tat POST-OFFICE AND ITS " DIRECTORY.*—Sir,—
YOnrjournal is continually spoken of with heartfelt gratitude
is the setabliahment ; your well-directed blows have much
melmul in the destruction of that manatee, the " Post-office
Directory?' Mr. Kelly will no longer be able to derive
12,0001. a year out of the exertions of the poor letter-eatriers.
The correctness of his return to parliament may be tested by
the feet that he began an action against the Sentinel, and
did not proceed with it. The " notice" that any suggestions
foe improvement in the office which we have to make, are to
go through Mr. Kelly, has been pulled down since Mr. Dun-
e:lll6es speech on Monday night. Mr. Kelly now denies
that when he succeeded in getting Mr. Rowland Hill out of
can some years ago, that he posted a notice, stating that
soy one communicating with that gentleman should be dis-
missed; but his denial will not do. I have a orgy of the
10Ree which appeared on the Bth October, 1842, and which I
via forward in my next. We shall need your powerful pro-
Unica. The demeanour and bearing of Mr. Kelly to the
ustoetunates under his eontroul, since the speeches of Mr.
Duecombe and Mr. Moffatt, must be seen to be understood.
Woe to the poor Wight whom he considers a; " conspirator,"
as he terms those who have opposed his book .—A RAILROAD

reached that depth,lbefore the impure air overpowered him,
sad be immediately fell to the bottom. The splash in the
warn being heard above, every means were instantly adopted
foe extricating the unfortunate man; but, owing to the
Powerful mephitic gas in the some time elapsed before
it was effected. The body was p
rompptly carried to the sta-
tion-bocce, where Mr. Brook, surgeon, of Bedford-street,

Mr. Bacon, the master of St. Luke's workhouse, had known
deceased five years, and that she had experienced ill usage
from a man of the name of Emery, with whom she was con-
nected, and had several time, sheltered herself in the
workhouse from his brutality. And the witness who saw
deceased on Tuesday lut, said she bad scarcely anything to
cover her, and she appeared very poor and in want; also,
that Emery was at present in the West London Union
Workhouse, which was denied by Policeman 6 189, who
had been there, and found that he had loft it on the
3rd of February. The inquiry was then adjourned, for the
purpose of a more searching investigation being made.—
