of eamenet sad the Lords Commissioners of the Adm;ralty
hen pareheassl the splendid model of Blake, designed by
Mr. Bally, with a view to its being placed in Greenwich
Hospital. But why a model? Why not have it is broom
or marble? The fain° of Robert Blake is breaking through
the clouds. Just two °eateries ago his boom win deg
from their magnificent tomb is Westminster Abbey and
met into a pit, no man knows where. But polo; virtue,
daring, and success, are tbrnie not easily forgotten—Lyme
and Taunton, Portland awl Banta Cres, are names which
the world mown afford 'to let die.' Sooner or later there
comes a time for justice. Bkike's time Me come. His Ff.
ha■ been restored to liteniture. His bust has been net up
in the Aire Hall of Taunton, the scene of one of his most
splendid deeds. A portrait—a spurious one, we piers to

individual, then extended to the minty of Sornersetakire,
hes sow invaded the Admiralty, and wi,', undoubtedly,
