SoUTHET. — In a small volume of theatrical 

 memoirs printed at Glasgow in 1848, and written 



by Francis Courtney Wemyss, it is said that in 

 one of the strolling companies to which he was 

 attached there was a performer of the name of 

 Southey, a brother of the poet. Is this true ? We 

 can place little reliance on his genealogical re- 

 marks, as in another portion of his volume he 

 mentions a Mr. Shakspeare as the last remaining 

 descendant of the Bard of Avon. 



Wemyss was a nephew of Otho Herman We- 

 myss, an Edinburgh advocate of good descent but 

 who had no practice. He had been a keen Whig, 

 which at the time injured his prospects ; latterly 

 he obtained the office of Sheriff Substitute of one 

 of the southern counties, — Selkirk, we believe, — 

 and died at an advanced age, in not very opulent 

 circumstances. His nephew's memoirs are chiefly 

 curious for the account he gives of the American 

 stage, in which country he was a manager, but not 

 a successful one, of various theatres. Is he still 

 alive ? J. M. 



WiTTT Renderings. — The following lines given 

 us in the Ingoldsby Legends may, I think, come 

 under this head. I [give the pages in the smaU 

 edition where they may be found : — 



"... I've always considered Sir Christopher Wren, 

 As an architect, one of the greatest of men ; 

 And, talking of Epitaphs, — much I admire his, 

 * Circumspice, si Mbnumentum requiris ; ' 

 Which an erudite Verger translated to me, 

 ' If 3'ou ask for his monument, Sir-come-spy-see ! ' " 



p. 71. 

 " Hos ego versiculos feci, tulit alter honores." — Virgil. 

 " I wrote the lines — * * owned them — he told stories ! " 

 Thomas Ingoldsby, p. 74. 

 "Alas, for Ingoldsby Abbey! — Alas that we should 

 have to say, 



" Perierunt etiam ruinse I" 

 " Its very ruins now are tiny." — p. 298. 



And last but not least witty : — 



" Virginibus, Puerisque canto." — Horace. 

 " Old Maids and Bachelors I chant to ! — T. I."— p. 313.

The Brougham Peerage. — The friends of this 

 distinguished nobleman will be pleased to know 

 that there are circumstances connected with the 

 new patent which give it great additional value. 

 It recites that, in consideration of his eminent 

 public services, " more especially in the diffusion 

 of knowledge, the spread of education, and the 

 abolition of slave trade and slavery," the peerage 

 shall descend to his brother, Mr. William Broug- 

 ham. Now, Mr. William Brougham is jiot the 

 next representative, and there are but two prece- 

 dents, but they are very remarkable onfes, for grant- 

 ing the remainder to other than the next heirs, 

 namely, the peerages granted to Lord Nelson and 

 Lord St. Vincent. The latter^ precedent has been 

 strictly followed, for the Ices were remitted in 

 Lord St. Vincent's case, and they have been in 

 this, on the proper ground, as the Treasury Minute
