unruly in treatening him, the house devided whether they 

 should not be sent to the gate-house, and carried it in the 

 aflSrmative, and ordered an address to the King for issue- 

 ing bis pclamacion for apprehending Culpepper ; where- 

 upon the said Culpepper, notwithstanding his bravadoes, 

 was glad to submitt, and is again in soi. custody. The 

 Commons haveing observed that, notwithstanding theire 

 former address for removeing the 4 Lords from the King's 

 Councill and presence for ever, theire names were still 

 Extant in the Councill Book, devided and carried it in 

 the aflSrmative that they should make another address 

 for backing the former to remove the said Lords, &c. 

 There has beene another address upon accpt of a verie 

 scurrilous letter that was sent to the speaker treatening 

 him and M' Hou [ ?] about the said Lords. The Com- 

 mons by the said address desire the King to take care of 

 his pson and of the publick. The Commons have resolved 

 that 12 battalions be sent out of Ireland to succour the 

 Dutch, and that noe new Levies be made in Ireland in 

 the roome of them. The French are verie formidable 

 every where, and tho' they are apparently stronger [than] 

 the Germans in Italy, yet the later are resolved to push 

 on, tho' with little prospect of success, for the French 

 gaine every weeke one pri : [ ? ] or other to a neutralitie, 

 which the Emperor relyed on as an Ally, and in short wee 

 must owne that the former are to two many for us in the 

 Cabinett : the K. of Spaine has proposed in Councill to 

 marry the D. of Savoys 2'' daughter."

The Love of " Monet." — The following piece 

 of delicate wit, though familiar perhaps to many 

 of your readers, may still retain its freshness for a 

 few : couched in classical language it can scarcely 

 offend, I think, even ears polite : 



« 'Twill not bid « N. & Q." forget their vow, 

 Nor fix a blush upon the fairer brow." 



The " Moneys " were an exceedingly attached 

 couple, and the fair lady neglected not to gladden 

 her lord with the annual tribute of her affection. 

 Hearing, on one of these occasions, that an addi- 

 tional proof of conjugal unity was on the eve of 

 presentation, and that Mrs. Money was about to 

 encrease her interest, a friend happily remarked — 



" Crescit amor nummi, quantum ipsa pecunia crescit."

French Vebsion of the Battle of Wateb- 

 i-oo. — The following French version of the bat- 

 tle of Waterloo may be interesting and amusing 

 to the readers of "N. & Q." I lately saw it 

 printed beneath a coarse engraving of the battle, 

 Tvhich, with some others of a like kind, adorned 

 the walls of a little inn at Tirano in the Valte- 

 line : — 



" Aprfes avoir battu les Pnissiens k Ligny, Napoleon 

 rencontra le lendemain matin I'armee Anglaise, dans la 

 plaine de Waterloo. Des prodiges de valeur, le rendent 

 maitre bientot de toutes les principales positions enne- 

 mies. La bataille est gagn^e, si Grouchy se presente. 

 Wellington, chassd du plateau de la Haye Sainte, a or- 

 donne la retraite, en versant des larmes. Tout h, coup, 

 Bliicher, qui a devanc^ Grouchy, vient ranimer le cou- 

 rage des Anglais battus, et foudre sur les Fran^ais epuises 

 de huit heures de combat. Le cri fatal de sauvequi pent, 

 pou8s€ par des traitres, se fait entendre, les lignes se 



rompent, les rangs se mMent, le garde tombe, ecrase sons 

 le nombre, entrain^ dans la deroute, entoure d'ennemis. 

 NapoMon se place, I'^p^e a la main, au milieu d'un carre, 

 et veut p^rir avec les braves qui combattent encore. 

 Mais les g^n^raux qui sent auprfes de lui, I'arrachent k 

 la mort, qu'il demande, et qu'il affronte comme un soldat. 

 • La mort ne veut pas de vous,' lui dit ses grenadiers, 

 ' retirez-vous.' "

ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY DEGREE. 



IntheLi/e of Bishop Gas^r«Z/, a question is raised 

 as to the privileges annexed to a B.D. degree 

 conferred by the Archbishop of Canterbury. That 

 it constituted a qualification for preferment seems 

 a decided point ; but it is not equally certain that 

 it empowers the party receiving it to wear the 

 habit of a like degree, taken in either of the Uni- 

 versities : because, as Bp. Gastrell contends, the 

 Lambeth degree is not conferred with the cere- 

 monial of investiture, as is the case in the Univer- 

 sities. Now I have before me two examples of 

 Lambeth graduates ; one wearing the hood of 

 M.A. Oxford, the other M.A. of Cambridge. Is 

 this correct ? Is each alike correct ? Does it 

 not infract upon the canon which refers to the 

 hoods worn over the surplice of graduates as the 

 mark of their degrees in their University ? I 

 shall feel much obliged if the readers of your 

 valuable publication who have studied clerical 

 costume, and are competent to say what is, and 

 what is not, sanctioned by due authority, would 

 communicate any information they may have ob- 

 tained as to the habit legally appurtenant to the 

 degrees conferred by the Archbishop of Canter- 

 bury. 



The question, I need not say, has no reference 

 to Cambridge ten-years' men : their title to the 

 black hood of a Non-regent is admitted, though 

 the assumption of the M.A. gown (a degree through 

 which they never passed) has been frequently 

 questioned ; and the full-sleeved Divinity gown, 

 a Doctor's undress gown, generally considered the 

 only gown they can wear with propriety, and in 

 strict accordance with the regulations of their 

 adopting Alma Mater. Their exercises for B.D. 

 are by statute to be performed in the habit of a 

 Non-regent M.A. ; but when they are admitted 

 B.D., the continued use of the habit permitted for 

 the performing of the preparatory exercises ceases. 

 Once satisfactorily concluded, the first degree of 

 B.D. is conferred, and it is the ^rst possessed by 

 the ten years' graduated divine. Has he then, 

 being a B.D. in this mode, a liberty to assume the 

 habit of the quasi inferior degree of M. A. ?
