The Evening Bell.

To the Editor Of the Press:
1 believe 1 have read all the articles and
squibs against our nine o'clock bell, and in
Them all cannot find but one single objection
to the continuance of this time-honored Gus
bell, and that is, that occasionally some concert
is for moment disturbed.
Our religious meetings are all over before
nine o'clock, or ought to be; nobody pretends
that political or other public meetings are an
noyed by it, or that private parties or social
gatherings of any description are troubled by
the nine O'Clock bell.
Permit me to ask if we have all at once be-
come so intensely or so generally musical as to
make a demand of this kind consistent with
modesty on the part OF that portion of our
population who attend the public concerts.
AS to the wishes of our concert performers
think they need not be specially consulted as
they are usually foreigners, not only to our
city but to our country, and doubtless will be
happy to continue to sing among us Just so
long as they can make it pay ,even though the
nine O'Clock bell should be retained
The small but aristocratic minority CT our
citizens who fancy, or think they fancy, or
wish to be thought to fancy Italian music,
ought to remember that the world was not
made for Cesar alone, and that the mass of
our people for whose benefit our bells are rung,
have little money to spend for CONCERTS or even
for watches.
Let our wealthy, refined and fashionable
few be thankful for their wealth, refinement
and fastidious tastes and if they have to SUBJ
NIT occasionally, for the public good, to a
sound that jars on their sensitive nerves, they
should rejoice that it doesn't happen more than
half dozen times in year, and be farther
comforted by the moral conveyed in that COM
prehensive epitaph on the Connecticut baby by
its udicious PARENTS
1--WE can't have everything to please US;
Little Johnnys gone" &c.
COLERIDGE.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE obseques of George
Peabody took place this afternoon. The tune.
raj procession was formed at the mapsioa OF
Sir Curtis Sampson, in Eaton Square. 1t con-
sisted of a hearse and five mourning coaches.
Among the mourners were Gen. c. Grey, her
Majesty's private Secretary, representing the
Queen, Mr.. Motley, United States Minister,
benjamin Moran, Secretary OF the American
legation, Freeman III. Morse, American Con-
sui at London, Russell Sturges and j. S. Nor
gan. The funeral cortege passed slowly through
the Streets which werSined with silent crowds
OF spectators. Westminster Abby, a venera-
BILE structure was completely filled with peO-
pie who had been admitted by ticket, and were
all dressed in mourning. The choir was hung
with black and sombre. The aspect of the in
terror was only relieved by richly decorated
robes of the Lord Mayor and Sherifs Stand

in were Mr.. Gladstone, Lord Clarendon, the
Dean of st. Pauls, Rev. Thomas Binney, Dis
senting Minister, DR.. George Edward Day and
Mr. John Bright. flood of sunshine pour
ed through the windows of the choir at the
moment the procession entered the building.
The coffin was placed on a bier at the end OF
the choir. 1t was plain and covered with black
cloth. On the lid was brass plate with an
inscription giving simply the name of the de-
ceased, place and date of his birth and death.
The lesson was read by the Arch Deacon of
Westminster. AS soon as the ceremony with
formed again and advanced to spot near the
western entrance, where q temporary grave
had been prepared and an excavation of two
to tn ee feet deep had been made, the sides of
which grave were lined with black drapery
Here the body was deposited, and will remain
until transported to America. Lord Joan
Thyme read the remainder of the burial SER
vice at the head of the grave.
On the right stood the mourners, including
the American Minister, and on the left were
Mr.. Gray, Mr.. Gladstone, Lord Clarendon, the
Lord Mayor and High Sberffs of the clergy o
Westminster and st. PauPs. The soiemnity
of the occasion was profoundly felt by the vas
assemblage. Many present shed tears during
the choral service which included the singing
of the Anthem, CHS body is buried in peace
but his name iveth ever more"
After the coffin had been lowered into the
grave a floral cross was placed upon it. This
act was witnessed in profound silence ant
| served to increase the emotlOnwhich pervadet
the congregation. The people then passed
around the cofiu and took a last look at the
| features of the deceased. The bishop of Lon
don will preach funeral sermon on Sunda.

HAGER's ALLEGoRY.-Cty Hall was well
filled last evening by an enthusiastic audience
who were evidently as much impressed with
the excellence of the singing and acting of the
young performers as if it was the first repre-
sentation in this city. The arrangements in
the disposition of the stage drapery were much
better last night than at the former perform
ances, and the young ladies and gentlemen
were so much more at home in their parts that
they introduced great deal of amusing bye
play, which added greatly to the general finish
of ike spectacle We have so exhaustvely
treated the subject at other times that we can
add nothing to what we have already said in
regard to the great merits of the Allegory as
an entertainment for adults as well as children.
There was slight hitch last evening 10 the
working of the curtain, which was unfortu-
nate but this was trivial matter. There was
great cause for complaint, however, in the fact
that the hall was cold as barn. This was
wrong, and we hope will not occur again. We
do not suppose this was the fault of the Grand
Army, but some fault in the heating appara-
tins
