THE TRIANGULAR SURVEY or THB METROPOLIS
AND ENVIRONS.—About half-past four o'clock yesterday
afternoon, the inhabitants of the metropolis who could
command a view of the cross of St. Paul's beheld an in-
cident which has occurred but once before sines the ca-
thedral of the metropolis has been built—that when the
last plank or pole of a scaffold, or the coping brick or
stone of a building has been fixed, the waving of •
handkerchief to show to those below that the project has
been accomplished. During the past three weeks the
public has been aware that one of the sergeants, two
corporals, and eight labourers, belonging to the Sap-
pers and Miners, have been daily engaged in erecting,
from what is termed the Golden Gallery, a scaffold, the
platform of which, it was understood, was to rest on the
top of the cross. In the course of the progress of the
scaffold, the utmost astonishment has been exhibited in
seeing the men engaged in such a hazardous
work, clinging round the scaffolding poles, tying
the bracenners, supporters, &c., and even in that
perilous position sawing off the end of a small pole, at
the same time raising a scaffold something like a
spider's web. Without entering into a detailed account
of the building of a scaffold which has elicited the admi-
ration of all practical men, at the above hour the last
plank, forming the flooring on which the observatory for
the survey is to be built was fixed, amidst the buzzes of
the few employed; around this a strong railing, about
five feet high, is fixed—the area being, from point to
point, about 14 feet, in the centre of which is to be
raised the shed or building from which the survey is to
be made. In the recollection of a comparative few it
will be remembered that in the year 1825 a scaffold was
raised for the purpose of regilding the ball and cross,
and on that occasion. Mr. Horner—who subsequently
made a bird's-eye view of London, which was afterwards
exhibited—very narrowly escaped with his life, as
during the early part of his aerial habitation, his resi-
dence was blown over, and the next morning he watt
found by the workmen in a most prostrate position. On
the same occasion a plank was blown into Poynter's-
alley, which broke one of the large paving-stones, and
penetrated some six or eight inches deep in the earth
As the present survey is to be a complete one, the scaf-
fold is so bound together, that it will be perfect for the
next seven years, without wanting repairs.
CHANGE RINGING.-011 Monday last, the sth in-
stant, ten members of the Ancient College Society
ascended the tower of St. James's Church, Bermondsey,
and rang a true and excellent peal of treble bob royal, in
the Kent variation, consisting of 5,320 changes, which
was performed in three hours and 40 minutes, end con-
ducted by Mr. George Monday.
INSTINCT IN BIRDS.-011 Tuesday, two boys, re-
siding at Great Harwood, robbed a lark's nest of the
young ones, which was nearly fledged. They removed
them to their residence, about halt a mile distant; yet
on the following morning the old birds found their way
through a hole in the broken window, and when dis-
covered were engaged in feeding their young brood,
which were primers in the ceges—Blackeurn 'Standard.
