lanunase ; but to differ too much to be considered 

 as a dialect of Zend, and must rank as a separate 

 language. 



1 would observe, that one of the peculiarities 

 mentioned, as compared with all the Indo-Ger- 

 nianic languages — namely, the having no conso- 

 nant at the end of the masculine or feminine 

 accusative — existed in the old Latin, as in the 

 Scipionic tombs, " optimo viro, onme Loucana." 



Sir Eduiund Head, in the Classical JMaseum, 

 No. II., considers the people to be the Solymi of 

 Homer. C. B. 



Alterim Orhis Papa (Vol. ii., p. 497.). — In 

 Twvsden's Historical Vindication of the Church 

 of England, p. 22. (Cambridge edition, 1847), I 

 find — 



" After the erection of Canterbury into an arch- 

 bishopric, the bishops of that see were held quasi alte- 

 rius orhis papa; as Urban II. styled them." 



In a note, William of Malmesbury (Z)e Gestis 

 Pontif., lib. i. in Anselm., p. '22;3. 1. 33.) is referred 

 to as authority for the above statement. Urban II. 

 was pope from 10S7 to 1099. C. W. G. 



Carmagnoles (Vol. iv., p. 208.). — Your querist 

 "W. B. H. will perhaps accept the following partial 

 solution of his question, which has been connnuni- 

 cated to me by one of your own distinguished 

 correspondents in France. It is contained in a 

 little volume published by Duellersan under the 

 following title. Chansons Nationales et Popxdaires 

 de France, Paris, 1 846, 32mo : 



" Cette horrible chanson, la Carmagnole, est un 

 monument curieux de la fblie demagogique, et nous la 

 donnons pour falre voir avec quelle poesie brutale on 

 excitait le peuple. Elle eut une vogue en .4out 1792, 

 epoque a laquelle Louis XVI. fut mis au Temple. 

 Kile devint le signal et laccompagnenieiit des joies 

 feroccs et des executions sanglantes. On dansait la 

 Carmat/nole dans les bals ; on la dansait au theatre 

 et autour de la guillotine. Barrere appelait les dis- 

 cours qu'il prouon9ait a la Convention, des Carmagnoles. 

 L'air, qui est veritablement entrainant, etait joue en 

 pas redouble dans la musique militaire : mais Bona- 

 parte la defendit, ainsi que le Ca-ira, lors qu'il fut 

 Consul. 



" Cette chanson parut au moment ou les troupes 

 Fran^aises venaient d'entrer Iriompliantcs dans la Savoie 

 et le Piemont. On ignore si la musi(|ue et la danse 

 de la Carmiiynole sont originaires do cc pays." 



In the month of January, 1849, the General-in- 

 Chief of the army of I'aris, Cliangarnier, having 

 taken vigorous measures to prevent new tumults, 

 the first verse of the original, which commences — 



" Sladame Veto avait promis 

 De faire egorger tout Paris," 



was thus parodied : 



" (Cliangarnier avait promis 



De faire brfder tout Paris," &c.

GeneralJames Wolfe (Vol. iv., p. 271.).— The 

 late Admiral Frank Sotheron, of Kirklington 

 Hall, near Southwell, Notts, was, I have heard, 

 related to AVolfe, and possessed a portrait anil 

 several letters of his. Admiral Sotheron died 

 some ten years ago, but his daughter (and only 

 child) married the present member for Wilts, who 

 afterwards took the name of Sotheron. J. M. W. 



I have a portrait of Wolfe in my possession, and, 

 I believe, the original from which the print, stated 

 to be a scarce and contemporary one, was taken, 

 which furnishes the frontispiece to the second 

 volume of the History of the Canadas, by the 

 author of Hochelaga. It fell, singularly enough, 

 into my hands a short time previous to the appear- 

 ance of the work in question, and I have been 

 enabled since to trace its possession by parties, 

 and amongst them members of my own ftimily, 

 for a very lengthened period. The artist I have 

 not been able to discover ; but perhaps some pos- 

 sessor of the print, should the name appear, will 

 afford this information. 



C. A. P. (Great Yarmouth.) 



As your pages have lately contained several 

 communications on the subject of General Wolfe, 

 I semi you the following story, which I heard 

 from a lady now deceased. Some time after 

 Wolfe's death his family wished to give some 

 memorial of him to the lady who had been en- 

 gaged to him, and they consulted her as to the 

 form which it should take. Her answer was, " A 

 diamond necklace; " and her reason, because she 

 was going to be married to another person, and 

 such an ornament would be useful. My informant, 

 whose birth, according to the Peerage, was in 1766, 

 had, in her earlier days, often met this lady, and 

 described her as showing remains of beauty, but as 

 no wiser than this anecdote would lead us to sup- 

 pose her. J. C. 11. 



Johannes Trithemius (Vol. iv., p. 442.). — This 

 noted historian and divine was born at Tritten- 

 heim, in the electorate of Treves, in 1462. He 

 became abbot, of Spanheim about 1482, where he 

 made a rich collection of manuscript and printed 

 books. In 1506 he was appointed abbot of St. 

 James at Wurtzbourg. His writings are nu- 

 merous, and there is an amjde collection of them 

 in the British Museum. In his Nepiachus he 

 gives an account ot his life and studies. He died 

 at Wurtzbourg in 1516. The learned and ju- 

 dicious Daunou thus characterises the volume 

 De scriptorihus ecclesiusticis : " iSlalgre bcaucou]) 

 d'omissions et d'erreurs, ce livre a ete fort utile a 

 ceux (pn ont depuis mieu.\ traite la meme matiere ; 

 on le consulte encore aujourd'liui." 



Leland, Bale, Pits, and \\'liai-ton, have recorded 

 their obligations to Trithcnnus. The venerable 

 Leland (juotcs him freipiently, under the name of
