CORRESPONDENCE.
PEAL OF BELLS.
To the Editor of the Globe. Sib, —A meeting was held yesterday to consider the advisability of increasing the number of bells in the German peal, and of handing the same over to the city. The Mayor suggested that the public might be asked to subscribe to complete the present peal! May I ask the Mayor if he is aware that subscription lists have been widely circulated—that the public have already subscribed —that the money handed in amounts to a considerable sum—and that repeated attempts have been made through the columns of the press to learn what has become of the money subscribed, but a profound and mysterious silence reigns concerning it ? Another committee has been appointed. What has become of the former committee, numbering somewhere about forty in number ? The whole thing is a disgrace to those who have had to do with it in the past, and until something satisfactory is given to the public concerning the money subscribed some few years ago, I hope no one will subscribe a penny-piece for a peal of bells. Yours, &c., BELL ROPE.
