Bow Bells--Oyerhauling LOndOn's
Famous Chimes.

lLOndOn Tlmtb,l
For some time past this famous peal
OF bells, one of the finest, If not the finest,
in the City Of London, has been under
going examination in the public interest,
and before long the familiar chimes which
captiyated or consolcd n Wilmington,
and have since charmed many more
from time immcmorial, will ring out Ms
before.
The Church Of ST, Mary lie Bow,
which, if not originally a Roman temple,
as generally believed, was one of the
earliest churches built by our Norman
conquerers, has been destroyed more
than once by storm and fire. 1t was at
one time garrsOned and besicged, and
was afterward the scene of an assassna-
ton, 1t was first mentioned AZ a Chris
tan church in the reign of William the
l)nqueror stow says it was the first
J the city built on arches of stone, and
that it was, therefore, called ST. Mary
dc Arcubus the Bow, althouh he else
where says, but with less apparent prob
ability, that it took its name from GER
tain stone arches supporting lantern
on the top OF the tower, BY the way,
the Court Of Arches was formerly held
in this church, and derived its name
from that circumstance.
During the reign of William Rufus
the roof Of the church was blown off by
the wind, and four Of the ralters were
driven INTO the ground with such yio-
lcnce that, although they were each
twcnty-siX feet long, little more than
four feet Of their length was visible, the
ground in the neighborhood being then
a mere fen. About one hundred years
after this event a tumult Of a serious
nature occurred in the city, which led
to the assault upon the. church before
alluded to. The ringIeader was VIII
liam fitz Osbcrt, surnamed IOngbcard,
who was almost worshiped by the lower
orders on account of his excrtions as a
profcssed advocate of the poor against
the expressions Of the rich. An attempt
being made TO seize him, he took refuge
in Bow steepIc, together with various
followers, and, being well provided with
ammunition and provisions, was able
for Il long time to defy the authorities
In order to drive him out, the steeple
was fired. This had the desired effect;
the rioters were made prisoners, and,
after hasty trial, were hanged at the
Films in Smithfeld, at that time the
usual place of execution. 1t appeared
that Fitz Osbcrt did not lose his reputa
ton among the people with his life, for it
is said that after his death vast numbers
of persons rcsortcd to SmthieId, ex-
pccting that miracles would be per-
formed, and that they carried away as
holy relics pieces of the earth on which
his blood had fallen.

4 Singular Conflict Of HOrScs.

a private letter from Colonel l.. &.
Ropes, an American gentleman residing
in the ncighborhood OF san Juan, Near
aqua, gives the following curious account
of Il battle among the wild mustang
ponies, which still inhabit some of the
Central American regions in large mum
ber4: We had been out hunting all day,
and, upon reaching an eminence in Il
particularly wild part of the country,
beheld n hundred or more mustangs pre-
pairing for II pitched battle upon the
savannah below. They were facing
each ether in pretty evenly divided
squadrons, about hundred yards apart
paving the turf, tossing their "ban-
ncred names" and making other war
like demonstrations. They appeared to
bc thoroughly Differed and organized,
too, for suddenly, rs if by preconcerted
signal they charged upon each other
with mad impetuosity, and in a moment
were intermingled, biting, striking out
with hind AID fore feet, rending and
mangling each other, and thoroughly
absorbed in one of the strangest and
most terrible conflicts that can be con
ceivcd Of The battle lasted nearly half
an hour, when such of both parties Us
were able withdrew, us if exhausted or
disguised, and galloped off in different
directions toward the mountains. But
when we rode upon the scene there were
nineteen animals stretched, dead or
dying, upon the prairie, the short grass
of which was in many places drencbed
with blood and covered with fragments
Of flesh and punches of horse-hair torn
,ut by the roots. We put the wounded
ponies out of their misery, and then rode
pack to the hacienda, wondering us to
he motives of the singular battle we
lad witnessed. They will still be food
or wonder, for how can you question
md get replies from wild horse?
