by the Bill of Toleration. These are two great 
works in w® y® being of our Church is concerned, 
and I hope you will send to y® house for copyes. 
* For tho we are under a conquest, God has given 
us favor in y‘ eies of our Rulers; and we may 
keep up the Church, if we will. One thing more 
I have to propose, if Mr. Spencer wait upon yo" 
Grace to day or to morrow to sign an order for 
money. In case you think it may be for y® ser- 
vice of S*. Paul’s; why should you not make him 
draw y° order to be payable to him and Mr. Rus- 
sel joyntly ? If youdo so, I will be sure to con- 
cur, as I shall alwaies be, 
My Lord, 
Yo" Grace’s most obedient serv‘,

Narcissus Luttrell (274 §. i. 33.) — A Genealo- 
gical Account of the Family of Luttrell, Lotterel, or 
Lutterell, was privately printed at Milborne Fort 
in 1774, 4to. W. 4H. W. T. 
Somerset House. 
Extermination of the Frasers (2"4 S. i. 32.) — 
The authority he seeks is probably that contained 
in a note on Miss Strickland’s Life of Mary IT, 
vol. vii. p. 350., edit. 1852. She states that the 
present Lord Lovat has an order to that effect, 
signed by William. Cc. D. 
Battle of Aughrim (24 S. i. 48.) — I have read 
with much interest the account given by your 
correspondent, Mr. Daviss, of the Battle of 
Aughrim, a small village about four miles from 
Ballinasloe, co. Galway. (There are two Aughrims 
in Ireland.) I visited that part of the country in 
1845, and walked over the battle-field with the 
postmaster (I forget his name) as my guide. 
This young man I found extremely intelligent 
and well read, and was only surprised to find him 
vegetating on the miserable pittance he received 
from the Post Office. He had to walk into Bal- 
linasloe every day, and bring out the mail-bag on 
his back, returning with the local post. On one 
of these occasions he saw a countryman on the 
bridge of Ballinasloe with a large shot, which he 
was offering for sale. 
On handling it, the postmaster thought it felt 
very light in proportion to its bulk, and hence 
concluded that it was a hollow shot; and, on that 
account, bought it for a few pence. The country- 
man had picked it up at the base of an old castle, 
that stands in the hollow near the edge of the bay, 
referred to by your correspondent. On bringing 
home the shot, and scraping the rust from the 
surface, he found a fuse-hole; and on boring it 
out, discovered that the shot was hollow, and 
filled with powder ; which had then lost its granu- 
lated form, and was a brown impalpable powder, 
like snuff. He offered me the shot, which I de- 
clined, but I accepted some of the powder, which 
I have since preserved in a phial; and puzzle 
juveniles by asserting, that I have some powder 
in my possession which was “fired off” at the 
Battle of Aughrim. The shot was about the size 
of a twenty-four-pounder, and much larger, I 
should think, than any hand-grenade, so must 
have been a small shell; but whether fired from a 
mortar or ordinary cannon, I must leave for your 
readers to judge. In going over the battle-field, 
my cicerone pointed out gaps in the hedge and 
dyke that bounded the field in which St. Ruth 
was killed, and which gaps were made by St. 
Ruth for the evolutions of his cavalry. These 
gaps are now filled up with boulder stones, but 
they can easily be noticed, as the rest of the edge 
and dyke is composed of the earth thrown out 
of the ditch, and surmounted by the edge. I 
picked up a pistol-bullet in the field where St. 
Ruth was killed, as the ground had been then 
newly ploughed. Mr. Davies mentions the fact 
that the Jacobite commander was killed by a gun- 
shot from a field-piece placed in position by an ex- 
perienced artillery officer; but he does not mention 
who that officer was. Tradition says that his name 
was Lawless, and that the lucky lieutenant of 
artillery was the founder of the House of Clon- 
curry, whose demesne adjoins the town of Bal- 
linasloe. The memory of O'Kelly, who gave the 
information respecting St. Ruth’s personal appear- 
ance, and which led to his death, is still execrated 
by the peasantry all over Ireland; and he is said 
to have “sould the pass” on his countrymen. I~ 
forget the expletive applied to his hated name, 
nor does it much matter, as I dared not write it if 
I could. 
Hlinar Notes. 
A Curiosity of Plagiarism.—I cannot refrain 
from sending you a choice morsel, which fell into 
my way a few days since. 
Dr. Bloomfield has lately published a ninth 
edition of his Greek Testament, enriched, pa- 
ginatim, from mine. In one place occurs the 
following :

Now, seeing that our Lord did not depart at all, 
the words are at least startling. But how did
