clay. To this crevice many of the country people say our Saviour fled from the persecutions of the Jews. Others deem it more likely that St. Gawen, influenced by religious mortifications, squeezed himself daily into it, as a penance for his transgressions, until at length the print of the ribs became impressed on the rock. Here the pilgrim, standing upon a stone rendered smooth by the operation of the feet, is to turn round nine times and wish according to his fancy. If the saint be propitious, the wish will be duly gratified within a year, a month, and a day. Another marvellous quality of the fissure is, that it will receive the largest man, and be only just of sufficient size to receive the smallest. This may be accounted for by its ресиliar shape. Perhaps you may deem the above worthy of insertion in "N. & Q.," and it may interest your correspondent MR. ROBERT RAWLINROBERT J. ALLEN. SON. Bosherston, Pembroke. SURNAMES ASSUMED. Surely in a country like this, where such regard is paid to male descent, and where the use and advantage of hereditary names has been so long understood, the custom of assuming, and leaving posterity with, the name of a family extinct in the male line is a great mistake, and leads to much error and confusion: much greater is that of continuing the name of a family from whom the assumer does not even descend in the female line? If Burke's Peerage is correct, perhaps no greater instance can be pointed out than the name of Wellesley; for though at foot of his account of Mornington he calls this family "the Marquis's maternal family," yet, from the pedigree, it is clear that he does not descend from them. Now, if I do not misunderstand Burke, and if (as I presume will be the case) Alison's History of Europe will be the study of future ages, what will readers believe from the following (chap. xlix. 1.)? "The Wellesleys were an old Saxon family long settled in Sussex, and the ancestor of the Irish branch had come over with Hen. II. in 1172, &c. Wellington's elder brother, &c. &c. . . . So that one family enjoyed the rare felicity of giving birth, &c." The natural desire of preserving an old name and old arms, might easily be gratified, without flying false colours. Thus, in the case noticed, Richard Colley, instead of assuming "Wesley," could have called himself "Richard Wesley Colley;" and his descendants have become "Wesley Colley." So the Pagets should be "Paget Bayly;" the Pakington's "Pakington Russell." One of my noted instances appears under "Fountaine :" here an heiress marries a Clent, their heiress marries a Price, their heir assumes surname and arms of Fountaine. Now, according to my suggestion (and common sense), the latter, if desirous of pre serving the old name, should have handed down the name of Fountaine, Clent, Price, or Fountaine Price. In every county, the natives generally believe that such families are of the old male blood. I am not aware whether the Americans ever adopt this false system (probably not); but they some years since passed an admirable law that no firm should trade with the name of extinct partners. Different families having taken the same title, is much less confusing; though many readers probably imagine every Earl of Northumberland to have been a Percy, and would be surprised to hear that the present Duke is not a male Percy. A. C. 10 1635 G. H. Cardinals in England. "Master Hugh Latimer observes in his second sermon before King Edward VI., in reference to Cardinal Beaufort, "These Romish hats never brought good into W. H. L. England." Robin Hood.-In Latimer's sixth sermon before Edward VI., Latimer tells a story about wishing to preach at a country church, when he found the door locked, and the people gone abroad to gather for Robin Hood. He then adds, "Under the pretence of gathering for Robin Hood, a traitor and a thief, to put out a preacher." This may corroborate Mr. Hunter's view of that renowned personage. W. H. L. Queries. A RIDDLE. Having on a former occasion received in your pages a satisfactory solution of a Query I forwarded to you, I am induced to send you the following: William, Abbot of St. Albans (Vol. v., p. 611.).— At pp. 213, 214. of Massingherd's History of the English Reformation a solution is offered of the difficulty arising from the hiatus in the list of the Abbots of St. Albans, by supposing that the name of the wicked abbot was erased or omitted from the records of the abbey. It seems probable that the practice of such omissions might be copied from the example of the omission, in St. Matthew's genealogy of our Lord, of those sinful kings, who are passed over as if they had never been, according to the sentence of Him who visits the sins of the fathers unto the third or fourth generation. I believe that there are other instances of similar omissions in other monasteries: such a case was stated at a late meeting of the Lincolnshire Architectural Society, in regard to Thornton Abbey in that county. pen of Turgot, on the authority, I presume, of the Life in the Biographic Universelle, art. "Turgot." On this I beg leave to observe, that I think I have already addressed you, Mr. Editor, on the subject, though I cannot refer to the time, nor have I preserved a copy of what I wrote; but I may now add, that in the Dublin Review for March 1847, p. 212., I distinctly traced the line from Turgot to the Anti-Lucretius of Cardinal de Polignac, as mentioned by Grimm, who, however, does not quote the book and line of that poem, which I did, viz. lib. i. v. 37.; as I equally did those of Manilius, lib. i. v. 104., where he says of his hero, Epicurus "Eripuitque Iovi fulmen, viresque Tonanti." The Biographie merely notes that, of Turgot, "On connait l'épigraphe qu'il fit pour le portrait It would be grievous to think that the high de Franklin- 'Eripuit,'" &c., without further excharacter of Ramridge (see Stephens' Supplement, planation. It will thus be seen that my article i. 264.), who wrote The Lives of the Abbots, Monks, preceded that of the Quarterly by three years; and and Benefactors of St. Albans, and whose noble I may add, that long before I furnished these partomb remains in the Abbey Church, was altogether ticulars to the Gentleman's Magazine, though I cannot now go in search of the article, thinking it sufficient to refer to the Dublin Review in claim of priority. I am not in the habit of keeping copies of what I consign to the press, which, I own, is wrong, and am sometimes made to feel it so. fictitious besides that his name was Thomas; and the dates of his election, and of the death of William Wallingford, seem to be equally authentic. F. C. M. Lines on Crawford of Kilbirnie, &c. (Vol. v., p. 546.). These lines are evidently merely an adaptation of the well-known epigram on Austria: "Bella gerant alii tu felix Austria nube; Nam quæ Mars aliis dat tibi regna Venus." But this epigram is again only an adaptation of Helen's exhortation to Paris, in Ovid's Epistles, lines 253-4.: Can Bishops vacate their Sees? (Vol. v., p. 548.). -Many examples may be produced from the Church of Rome. So recently as the early years of this century, on establishing the Concordatum between Pius VII. and Bonaparte, several bishops resigned their sees; and a century before, the learned Huet, bishop of Avranches, did so, in exchange for the Abbey of Fontenay, near Caen, in Normandy. I am acquainted with an ex-bishop, returned from the East Indies, now in holy retirement at Dublin, from ill health. Cork. J. R. Lines on Franklin, Vol. v., p. 549., and again at p. 571., where, in explanation of its origin, we read, that it was lately reproduced, having been first cited in the "Correspondance de Grimm et de Diderto" (Diderot), in the Quarterly Review for June 1850, with the addition that it was from the In the same work it is said that the origin of the phrase was traced by Goropius (who was rather fanciful in his etymologies) to the Confusion of Tongues at Babel, the word such being the same in all languages: sakkos, Greek; saccus, Latin; sakk, Gothic; sac, Anglo-Saxon; sack, in English, German, Danish, and Dutch; sacço, in Italian; saco, in Spanish; sak, in Hebrew, Chaldee, and Turkish; sac, in Celtic, &c.; and the reason given by Goropius for this uniformity is, that when the workmen dispersed at Babel, none of them forgot, in going away, to take his sack with him. Oxford. J. M. Meaning of Royd (Vol. v., pp. 489. 571. 620.). Not at all differing with your correspondent LANCASTRIENSIS in the meaning to be applied to Royd in Huntroyd, &c., as explained, p. 571., I must express a doubt if "Ormerod" should be referred to "Royd," as the derivative of its last syllable. I apprehend od means old, and is now pronounced oud, in the East Riding dialect. Thus, in the reign of Edward I., two places stood at the mouth of the Humber, spoken of in old charters and deeds respectively as "Ravenser" and "Ravenserod," that is, Old Ravenser. I fancy od, affixed to Ormer, means Old Ormer, and not Ormer in the clearing. T. THOMPSON. Foundation-Stones (Vol. vi., p. 20.).- Foundation of Blackfriar's Bridge, from Noorthouck's History of London, 1773, p. 404.: "The first stone of the new bridge at Blackfriars was laid with great ceremony on the last day of October (1760), by the Lord Mayor and Bridge Committee. Several gold, silver, and copper coins of the late King were deposited under the stone, together with the silver medal given to Mr. Mylne by the Roman Academy. By order of Common Council, a plate with the following inscription on it was placed there likewise, the classical Latinity of which was much burlesqued by the wits at the time: : 'Ultimo die Octobris, Anno ab Incarnatione Pontis hujus, in Reipublicæ Commodum Roberto Mylne, Architecto. Voluntatis suæ erga Virum, Qui Vigore Ingenii, Animi Constantiâ, Probitatis et Virtutis suæ felici quadam Contagione, (favente Deo faustisque Georgii secundi auspiciis) Imperium Britannicum There is added to the above a translation, which Meaning of "Whit" (Vol. v., p. 610.; Vol. vi., p. 45.).-Your correspondent J. B. COLMAN repeats an error I noticed in an Illustrated Almanack a year or two ago. Our forefathers would never have been content with the quantity of ale one of these small earthen bottles contained. They were used for wine. Two exactly alike in form and material are now in the Norwich Museum; one is inscribed " WHIT, 1648," and the other " CLARET, 1648." Another of the same form, but much smaller, has " SACK, 1650" upon it. The larger bottles would hold about half a pint, the small one about a quarter. HENRY HARROD. Plague Stones (Vol. v., p. 571.). - On the three main roads leading out of Beverley, about a mile each from the Minster, are three crosses, each of which, according to the reputation of the countrypeople, was erected in the time of the plague, as a substitute for the market cross in the town of Beverley; and tradition states that on market days during the plague, the country people brought their goods (marked with the price demanded) and left them at one or other of those crosses: afterwards the townspeople came there, took away the goods and left their money in their place, which afterwards the owners of the goods came and took away; the parties thus never coming into contact. Finding this tradition current on three different sides of the town, I cannot doubt it being in the main correct; but it is certain those crosses were not erected for any such purpose, for from ancient documents it is well known they are the boundary crosses, showing the limits of the sanctuary for criminals belonging to the Church of St. John of Beverley in ancient times; and no doubt being existing in the times of the plague, formed a very convenient point on each road for the sort of fetch and carry market above alluded to. May not other plague stones also have had their origin (since forgotten) prior to the times of the plague, their latter use only being remembered? T. THOMPSON. 1784.

"Dr. Maitland, we consider, has here brought Mesmerism to the touchstone of truth,' to the test of the standard of right or wrong. We thank him for this first instalment of his inquiry, and hope that he will not long delay the remaining portions."- London Medical Gazette. "The Enquiries are extremely curious, we should indeed say important. That relating to the Witch of Endor is one of the most successful we ever read. We cannot enter into particulars in this brief notice; but we would strongly recommend the pamphlet even to those who care nothing about Mesmerism, or angry (for it has come to this at last) with the subject."- Dublin Evening Post. "We recommend its general perusal as being really an endeavour, by one whose position gives him the best facilities, to ascertain the genuine character of Mesmerism, which is so much disputed."- Woolmer's Exeter Gazette. f "Dr. Maitland has bestowed a vast deal o attention on the subject for many years past, and the present pamphlet is in part the result of his thoughts and inquiries. There is a good deal in it which we should have been glad to quote.... but we content ourselves with referring our readers to the pamphlet itself." — Brit. Mag.
