" The cow and the smiffers " (2'"^ S. ii. 20.) — 

 The song in which allusion is made to this sign, 

 was introduced in the farce of The Irishman in 

 London, or the Happy African. The farce was an 

 adaptation of an old piece, by the present Mr. 

 Macready's father. It was first produced for 

 Jack Johnstone's benefit at Covent Garden, on 

 •April 21, 1792 ; the elder Macready playing Col- 

 loony, and Johnstone Murtoch Delany. Macready 

 was a great hand at changing old pieces into new. 

 As he made this mutation of the Intriguing Foot- 

 man into the Irishman in London, so again, to serve 

 Johnstone, in May 1795, he adapted Taverner's 

 Artful Husband, and made of it a poor comedy 

 called The Bank Note. The adapter played Selby, 

 and Johnstone Killeavy. J. Doean.

 interest, amongst which we may mention some Inedited Papers resiiecting 

 the Earl of Essex, and also ottr usual Notes on Books. 



Paper Mark. In the article thus headed in our last N'o. p. 37. col. i., 

 is a most curious and annoying misprint, by which the word " not " ia 

 substituted for "most," and Chabtophylax is represented as having 

 " not " coi-rectly fixed the date of this paper mark; whereas X wrote that 

 he had dune so " most " correctly. 



A. A. D. who asks respecting the origin of the air cf God Save the 

 King is informed that in the first edition of Mr. Chappell's vahiable Col- 

 lection of National Airs, pp. 83., 4rc-. and 193. he ascribes the words and 

 music without hesitation to Henry Carey, ajid we have no reason to be- 

 lieve that Fubsequent researches have induced him to change his vieios of 

 their authorship.

 this subject forwarded by F.J. "B. has already appeared. Sec 2nd S. 1. 12. 



Phosbe Arden. What is the object of this communication f Are the

 vol. ofMacaulay's History is reprinted in Somers's Tracts, by Scntt. vol.

 gomery, ami is noticed by his biographers in his Memoirs, vol. i. p. 283.
