TEETIS et GREAT BRITAIN are informed that the
above Ball will take place on Wednesday next, the 25th
instant.
• The Illuminations and Decorations by Messrs. J. Defries
and Sons will be on a scale of greater magnificence and
splendour than at the-Ball recently given to the Belgians,
which created such au universal and profound sensation.
The War Office have also kindly consented to lend the
same armoury from the Tower that adorned the Hall on
that occasion.
On either side of the Orchestra, recently enlarged for
the grand performance of the "Messiah," will bo erected
splendid perfume crystal fountains, surrounded by flowers
and plants of the choicest kind, adding increased delight,
and producing a marvellous and unparalleled scone of
charming beauty.

accordance with facts. He also says, in allusion tol
the statement made in my paper, that the oxide
most frequently obtained by my process contains
about 65 per cent. of binoxide ; that he is " in a
position most positively to inform the public that
such is not the case," and that "45 per cent. is
much nearer the truth than 65 per cent." It
is difficult to condescend to make any reply
to so mendacious an assertion, but I will
just state that I exhibited at Dundee a
sample of oxide, which had been produced by the
hundredweight, which was reported by the profes-
sional analyst employed to test it as containing
about 78 per cent. of binoxide ; that I have very fre-
quently obtained by the same process an oxide even
richer than this, and that all who have yet tried my
process have obtained an oxide of more than 55 per
cent. far oftener—even under the very imperfect
conditions which always obtain in first trials of a
new invention—than an oxide of any lower strength.
Similarly Mr. Baggs has the audacity to declare
that the oxide produced by my process " cannot be
treated," in what he chooses to call " the off-hand
manner" described in my paper, so as to enable all
the operations of the process to be performed in one
and the same vessel, that vessel being the " still," in
which the artificial oxide is afterwards employed to
liberate chlorine ; the facts being that my process is
already in manufacturing use, and that artificial
oxide of manganese produced by it is at this moment
being treated quite successfully by a I ton at a time,
exactly as described in my paper. Every other
statement made by Mr. Baggs with respect to my
process is similarly simply and entirely untrue.
So far from Mr. Baggs being " in a position to in.
form the public" upon any point whatever connected
with my process, he evidently does not even know
what my process is. The process of which he pro-
fesses to have had so much unfavourable experience,
and his alleged experience of which is the sole jus-
tification he offers for his audacious statement, in small
capitals, that my process is "not new," cannot, on his
own showing, have been the same as mine, inasmuch
as he found it impossible to obtain by it results
which my process yields with the utmost ease, and
could not render it available for manufacturing
purposes, whereas mine, as I have said, is in manu-
facturing operation at this moment. Moreover,
what Mr. Riggs, iu his letter, describes as being my
process is simply the decomposition of still-liquor by
means of lime, and the subsequent preoxiclation by
means of atmospheric oxygen of the protoxide of
manganese so obtained. As thus broadly stated,
this process, " the general rationale " of which was
known to chemists before Mr. Boggs wrs born, be-
long neither to Mr. Baggs nor to myself, but is
common property. During the last 30 or 40 years
a great many methods of carrying out this process,
all hairing precisely the same " general rationale,"
and all " identical in chemical details," and differing
only as regards methods of procedure, have been
patented, tried, found wanting, and abandoned. No
such process, until mine, has come into manufactur-
ing use. In such a case, it is only particular methods
of procedure that can be patented. Certain methods
of procedure arc all that have been patented by me ;
it is these modes cf procedure which make all the
difference between my success and the failure of my
predecessors in the same field ; and the very letter
in which Mr. Baggs so unfoundedly claims that I
have stolen my methods of procedure from him
conclusively proves that he does not even know what
they are. Nor is this unscrupulous claimant better
informed with respect to the simplest particulars re-
lating to the old method of manufacturing chlorine.
Becausel speak of performing all the operations of my
process in a " still," he saysthat the vessel I use " can
be no other" than " a large leaden still, with blown
joints and seams," evidently entirely unaware that
for nearly a generation now at least 99 out of every
100 stills used in Great Britain for the generation
of chlorine for use in the manufacture of bleaching
pZider have been made, not of lead, but of silicious
stone.

As I have said that I was ignorant, until 1 yes-
terday saw his letter to you, that Mr. Baggs had
ever projected any improvements in the manufacture
of chlorine, I am bound to refer, with some parti-
cularity, to the interview between Mr. Hook and
Mr. Baggs, at which, at Mr. Hook's request, I was
present. It took place some months after I had
patented my process ; previous to it I had never
either seen or heard of Mr. Baggs ; and I have
never seen him, nor till yesterday had I ever heard
of him since. Mr. Baggs says that the "object of
the interview was to discuss some projected im-
provements of" his " in the manufacture of bleach
(chlorine)," but this is certainly not the fact. It
was to discuss something with respect to the manu-
facture of " bleach ;" but in reply to a direct ques-
tion of mine, Mr. Baggs distinctly stated that what
he had in his mind had nothing to do with the
manufacture of chlorine, but only with the manu-
facture of " bleach" therefrom, after the chlorine
had been itself produced. The " further ques-
tions" which Mr. Baggs says " were not answered
satisfactorily," were as to whether Mr. Hook, before
receiving any information as to what Mr. Baggs
proposed to do beyond the general assertion that it
was to produce " better bleach" than could then be
commanded, would hand over £lO to enable Mr.
Baggs to make an apparatus which should show
what he could do—" an apparatus," said Mr. Baggs,
" which could stand on this little table," at which he
was taking his tea; and would, moreover, sign some
written preliminary agreement : to both of which
conditions Mr. Hook declined to accede. There
was no hint that Mr. Baggs was then contemplat-
ing, or had ever contemplated, cheapening or other-
wise improving the manufacture of chlorine itself,
which is the sole thing that my process has reference
to. All he talked about was some new way of
applying the chlorine, after it had been liberated.
Moreover, he did not " keep his counsel" quite so
completely as he alleges, for he went on to indicate
that an essential part of his plan consisted in bring-
ing the lime which it was desired to convert into
bleaching-powder into intimate contact with the
chlorine it was desired to absorb, by putting it into
a kind of revolving barrel-churn, and sending the
chlorine into that, an idea which, so far from being
new, was proposed at a very early period. of the
practised for
bleaching-powder manufacture, was
many years, and was at length superseded by better
processes.
Some of the allegations in Mr. Baggs's letter will
be better dealt with in a court of law than in your
columns, and I will therefore now leave its writer,
for the present at least, to the judgment of your
readers. They will not fail to estimate at
its true
value what is simply one of those efforts at detrac-
tion which all honest and successful inventors would
seem nowadays to have to endure at the hands of
men who, unable to succeed themselves, seek to
soothe their wounded vanity by the assertion of
unbounded claims to the merit of the success of
others ; and Mr. Baggs will not fail to find that
to bring against
such charges as lie has ventured
me, like the " curses" and " chickens" of the Spa-
nish proverb, "always come home to roost."

Sir,----My attention has been called by Mr. Wel-
don to a letter in last week's Journal signed " Isham
Bag's." I have read the letter, and the insinuation
contained in it that I communicated any chemical
knowledge whatever that had been confidently im-
parted to me by Mr. I. Baggs to Mr. Weldon, who
subsequently patented it, is simply and entirely
false. In 1862 my friend Mr. 'William Thomas, of
Soho Mills, met with and engaged Mr. Baggs to
conduct some experiments, and I joined in the ex-
penses. The results were worthless, and Mr. Baggs
was dismissed ; but, so far as the lapse of five years
enables me to recollect, during which time I have
not given Mr. Baggs's confidential communication a
second thought, they were on the absolute necessity
of our expending some thousands to enable him to

fully work out his incomplete experiments, which
were directed to the making of bleaching liquor
from chlorine gas, produced in the ordinary way,
and had nothing to do with the regeneration 'of the
oxide of manganese, which is all that Mr.
Weldon's process is concerned with. Had
it been otherwise, when Mr. Weldon men-
tioned his process to me, on my first making
his acquaintance, early in 1566, I must have recol-
lected it; but, on the contrary, I felt so satisfied
after investigation, and inquiry of the novelty and
feasibility of his process, that I at once joined
several mutual friends with a view to carry it into
commercial effect.

TI-fE BOULOGNE FETES.

(Concluded.)
It was seven o'clock before the solemn Benedic-
tion service was over, and that being the time at
which I had been invited to a grand banquet in
the old episcopal palace, I hurried off, and in what
the French call a little quarter of an hour, stood
"in grande tenue " in the presence of the three
bishops, the maire, the prefect, and more than
100 other dignitaries, ecclesiastical and secular.
After dinner, the first toast was the Holy Father,
coupling with it his worthy representative Mgr.
Marinelli, who had been sent from Rome expressly
to represent his Holiness on this occasion of the
fetes. The next toast was that of Mgr. Haffreingue,
and long and loud was the applause that greeted
it. The venerable old man made a humorous re-
ply, and then the Bishop of Arras proposed the
English pilgrims, and being called upon to respond,
I told " inter alia" how devotion to the Blessed
Virgin was increasing in England, and how we
would come in greater numbers to Boulogne next
year. The banquet over, I quietly made my escape
into the ramparts, where the calm beauty of the
night contrasted gratefully with the whirring ex-
citement of the day, and as the glorious full moon
lighted up the misty valley and river of the Seam
and the bold wooded hills and sparkling sea, I
thought of her who is " pulchra ut lama." On
Monday morning we were up betimes, for what
11 sluggard could lie in bed and hear all the bells of
the town summoning to the worship of the great
Creator. There is ever something new and beau-
tiful to be seen at Notre Dame during this blessed
time, and thither we went to witness the arrival
of 2,700 pilgrims from St. Omer. They came like
the others, with their banners and their song and
their offering for the sanctuary, and they came
also fasting and with little baskets containing the
necessaries for the day. It was a touching sight
to see the devotion of these people, and how it re-
quired the services of two priests to administer
the Holy Communion to them at Mass. One cir-
cumstance particularly struck me, that this the
most numerous pilgrimage of all that had visited
the sanctuary this year should have come from
a town that has its own renowned sanctuary of
our Lady, that of "Notre Dame des Miracles."
A large pilgrimage also came from Calais, and the
antiquated cure and doctor had travelled all night
in a post-chaise, never having in their lives yet
ventured on a railway. Hardly had the proces-
sional song ceased when the high notes of female
voices were heard approaching, and a beautiful
procession came in from the Ursuline Convent,
looking so pure and white and holy, that one
could have fancied it a troop of St. Ursulas come
back to earth again. Thus it is all day, and every
day for three weeks during this beautiful festival,
that devout pilgrims from various places come in
to pay their solemn homage at this chosen sanc-
tuary. In the afternoon, there was a grand pro-
cession to the crypt, and the effect of several
thousands of persons, each with a lighted taper in
hand, winding through the tortuous vaulted laby-
rinth was very beautiful. Here and there could
be seen amongst the modern work some portion
of the ancient crypt, undoubtedly of the ninth
century. Later in the evening, a greater treat was
prepared for us in a fine sermon in French from
Father Hermann, on devotion to the Blessed Virgin ;
and our day ended as usual with Benediction
of the Blessed Sacrament. On Tuesday morning
the'. Cathedral had its usual early attractions for
our pilgrims, and many seemed to linger about
it most part of the day. Some strolled off to the
fishing village of Portel, where they found most of
the male population had departed for the North
Sea fishing, and learned that before sailing 500
went to Holy Communion as a preparation for
the perils of the voyage. Then they visited
the grove of the gallant Colonel Dupuis. He
it was who on the morning of the Bth of Sep-
tember, before the storming of the Malakoff,
calmly sat down to write his will, and remembering
the beautiful feast, bequeathed his cross of the
Legion of Honour to Our Lady of Boulogne, and
then he received Holy Communion, and afterwards
nobly fell at the head of his regiment on that
fatal day. His body was recovered and sent to
his native town of Boulogne, where it was interred
with great pomp, and his cross was placed at the
feet of our Lady's statue. It was borne in the
procession on a velvet cushion ; and who that
saw it and did not feel his own heart fired to do
some heroic act in honour of our Lady! Tuesday
evening came too quickly for our pilgrims, and at
nine o'clock they assembled at the Lady Chapel
to offer their last prayers before departing on
their homeward voyage. Father Hermann said
the prayer for travellers ; then we sang " Hail,
Queen of Heaven," the "Magnificat," and, finally,
the "Te Deum." By half-past ten each one had
taken possession of the berth previously engaged,
and then, on the calmest of nights, this the first
English pilgrimage for 300 years was on its way
back to England.
Next year another pilgrimage will be organised,
and, with the aid of a committee, it is hoped one
worthy of the Catholics of this country will be
formed. Boulogne has a double claim on us.
Our Henry VIII., of evil memory, desolated. this
sanctuary, and the good llgr. Haffreingue has
been nearly fifty years yearning and praying for
the conversion of our land, and when lie finished
the mighty dome of his cathedral he placed on
its summit the beautiful statue of our Lady turned
towards England. When I took leave of the
kind-hearted and venerable man I knelt and
thanked him from my heart for the glorious things
he has done, and for which every one who loves
our Lady should be grateful.
