Ogden, a Manchester Poet. — In a volume of 

 Literary Miscellanies, lately published by Mr. K. 

 W. Procter, there is some account of Ogden, a 

 Manchester poet of last century. I think he was 

 author of an Epistle on Poetical Composition, in 

 nine books, 1762, &c., &c. Could any one, by re- 

 ferring to Mr. Procter's book, give me some in- 

 formation regarding the author, and the titles of 

 any of his works, poetic or dramatic, which may 

 be pmitted in Watt's Bibliotheca. X. Y. 



Brede Lepe. — Can any of your correspon- 

 dents tell me the derivation of this name for a 

 street, or for an ancient building ? It occurs on 

 an early plan of a town. L. J. 



Early MS. discovered at Cambridge. — 



" A MS. of the Gospels and of some portions of the 

 service of the Roman Church was found a iew months 

 back at Cambridge, the discovery of which was the great 

 event of recent years to the Scottish antiquary. On its 

 margins and blank pages are entered a few charters and 

 other records of the Abbey of Deer. These are the 

 earliest Scottish writings, and belong apparentlj^ to the 



tenth century. They are in Gaelic, and their importance 

 will be understood when it is mentioned that we have 

 no other Gaelic document so old by 600 years ! It is from 

 them that we learn how St. Columba visited Buchan and 

 landed with his Disciple St. Drostan at Aberdour." — 

 Sat. Review on Prof. Innes's " Scotland in the Middle 

 Ages," Nov. 17, 1860. 



Where was the above-mentioned MS. dis- 

 covered ? A5. 



A Cambridge Ceremony. — On every fifth of 

 November at the Morning Service in the Univer- 

 sity church, it is usual for the Senior Proctor to 

 read the Litany as fiir as the Lord's Prayer, at 

 which theVice-Chancellor begins, and goes through 

 the I'est of the Litany service. Perhaps some one 

 of the numerous readers of " N. & Q." can ex- 

 plain this peculiarity. G. A. W. 



Armorial. — On a shield argent, a tree proper ; 

 supporters, two negresses girdled with leaves. 

 Crest : A demi negress bearing in her right hand 

 (a tobacco-pipe ?) 



Also on a shield or, a goose proper. Initials 

 underneath D. M. L. 



Can any of your readers tell me to what fami- 

 lies the above coats belonged ? They occur on two 

 old China dishes, and are probably foreign.

 well, husbandman, born at Laas in Yorkshire,

Birds fly i^rom Cholera. — Can any of your 

 numerous readers favour me with instances, of 

 their own knowledge, in which birds have been 

 known to desert a locality during the prevalence 

 of cholera ? Such was the case at the Mauritius, 

 when that malady appeared at Port Louis : the 

 minor — or, as the people call it, martin — quitting
