"_I am happy to have it in my power to express my perfect belief that Mr. O. Smith is a most respectable character in private life, though a Great Ruffian on the Stage._ C. MATHEWS. "_Theatre Royal, English Opera House, August 21st, 1827._" I was so much pleased with this impromptu by Mathews, that I asked Mr. Smith's permission to copy it, and I have no hesitation in sending you my transcript to make what use of it you like. A. B. C. CAMPANALOGIA. SIR,--I thank you for amending the errors and omissions about the _Bawdrick_, though at the cost of publishing to all the world that "my writing is indistinct." I also thank your Strood Correspondent for his extract from an old Churchwarden's book, bearing on the item _Baldrick_. I would request the favour of any of your readers who have access to old parish accounts, to publish, through the medium of your "Current Notes," (pace tuâ) any entry relating to that _item_, or to the "_Wheles of ye Belles_." It is a desideratum in Campanalogical history, _when_ and by _whom_ the ingenious and beautiful Bell-wheel now in use was first introduced. In some retired villages, and indeed very generally in Dorsetshire, the _half wheel_ may still be found. Bells so hung and rung, are said to be with a "_Dead Rope_." The Bell can only be "_set_" one way, and changes could not be rung on the system now practised, viz. changing the position of each bell at every half pull. The mention of this original sort of wheel may induce some of your readers to wend their way into the Bell-chambers in their neighbourhood, and, regardless of the filthy state in which most will be found when they get there, they will, perhaps, crawl under the bells (minding their heads), and hunt out and report if they meet with any clappers hung with Bawdricks and Busk Boards, obliging many others besides your scribbler. H. T. E. Feb. 26, 1852. THE UNION JACK. SIR,--I have met in some collection of National papers with an account of the formation of our British Union Jack; but the book has altogether escaped my memory. Can you or your readers kindly name it, to yours, &c. H. M. London, Feb. 17, 1852. PILLAR PRINT OF OLIVER CROMWELL. SIR,--All I can tell your correspondent, "A Young Print and Portrait Collector," in reply to his inquiry, p. 7, in your "Current Notes" for January, is, that I hope I may congratulate him on the possession of a very valuable and historically interesting engraving. Horace Walpole mentions it as in "Dugdale's Origines Juridiciales," and describes it as "a large emblematic sheet print of Oliver Cromwell, whole-length, in armour, with variety of devices and mottoes."--_Proof._
