Boston, Nov 15. On Saturday last the large bell mentioned
in some of our newspapers, was raised, and placed in the
steeple of the West Church in the town, whereof the Rev. 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 it 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.
