Submerged Bells (Vol. x., p. 204.). — In a late 

 Quarterli/, No. CXC. p. 334., in an article on 

 Bells, we have been treated with several legends of 

 churches swallowed up, and of their bells sending 

 out their wonted music on certain occasions from 

 the depths of the earth, one of which is that given 

 in " N. & Q.," Vol. X., p. 204., to which may be 

 added a note, as given in Mr. Hawker's Poems, 

 of the Cornish legend of the bells of Bottreaux, — 



" That they were once shipped for this church, but that 

 when the vessel was within sight of the tower, the blas- 

 phemy of her captain was punished by the loss of his 

 ship. The bells are supposed to lie in the bay, and an- 

 nounce by strange sounds the approach of a storm." 



Think what we may of these, there is one re- 

 corded by Angelo Roccha in his Commentary, in 

 the chapter of Admiranda de Campanis, which is 

 too good to be severed from the others. It will be 

 best given in his own words : , 



" In Ecclesia Ordinis fratrum Carmelitarum Valentia 

 (quae est urbs insignis Citerioris Hispaniae, tribus millibus 

 passuum a mari remota) extat Capella Beatae Mariae 

 semper virginis, de consolatione nuncupatae, in qua sub 

 terra, et profunde quidem jacebat Campana, quas a vetula 

 quadam ob vitaa probitatem insigni, et prope dictam Ca- 

 pellam degente circa an. Dom. 1490, singulo quoque sero, 

 praesertim vero in Sabbato, quando scilicet Campana ad 

 salutationem Angelicam recitandam sonari solet, Cam- 

 pana ilia subterranea sponte sua sonare audiebatur. Hac 

 re tandem promulgata, Rector Conventus Carmelitani, 

 locum ilium a vetula indicatum excavari jussit. Hinc 

 terra excavata, profundaque cavea illic effecta, Campana 

 ipsa, tandem aliquando inventa fuit, infra quam erat 

 imago Beatae Mariae semper virginis lignea et aurata, 

 quam tempore barbaricarum incursionum in loco illo sub- 

 terraneo inclusupi fuisse a Christi Fidelibus, conjecturam 

 faciunt."
