On Saturday last the large bell mentioned in some of our
news papers, was raised, and placed in the steeple of the
West Church in this town, whereof the Reverend Mr. Hooper is
pastor; and by good judges is allowed to have the loudest
and most melodious sound of any bell in the country; and we
are inform'd was the generous present of Francis Wilks, Esq.
and some of his friends, who are well wishers to the
dissenting Protestant interest. The bell weighs, without
the clapper, twelve hundred and forty six pounds.
