Glasgow’s gift to the Duke and Duchess of York was an ItisLu-ic. clock and an artistic old cabinet. The clock was made by John Smith, Ibttcttwcom. Gilo, in 1804. in the hope it. would l:-0 acquired by George ILL. It is a wonderful piece of mechanism. It has a carillon of sixteen bells on which it chimes every quarter of an hour, and lias eight different, changes of these chimes. Al the tomtit quarter il plays tin air ami then strikes the hour; it has a selection of eight airs for this purpose. At three, six. nine and twelve o’clock after striking the hour it plays a march and at an opening in the right hand of the dial, which represents Whitehall', appear and pass round in procession figures of the King and Queen and all the members of the Royal Family as at 1801. As the King appears, a troop of Horse Guards canters round. As becomes a Scottish clock, on Sundays there is no march or procession, these actions being automatically stopped during that day. With the clock, ns a personal presentation to the bride, is a small escritoire ntitl jewel cabinet made of various fine woods decorated with gilt bronze mounts and embellished with plaques of Sevres porcelain enamelled with figure subjects.
