I think it probable that the bishop (Ken) was 
absent from his palace at the time the assizes were 
being held; and this is the more probable, when 
it is considered with what disgust he must have 
viewed Jeffreys’s inhuman and reruel conduct. It 
is certain, however, that the bishop’s great tithe- 
barn was forcibly seized and converted into a 
prison or place of confinement for the unfortunate 
persons who were brought before Jeffreys and his 
associates for trial at Wells, Ina.

Satire against Burnet. — 
[ The following political satire has been forwarded to 
us by a lady, who writes as follows. ] 
The original I found amongst a quantity of 
similar poetry. It is subsequent to Queen Anne, 
being in the handwriting of one of my great-grand- 
mother’s family, a daughter of Sir Thomas Tur- 
ton, who married George Parker, of Park Hall, 
Staffordshire. 
“A DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND BISHOP OF 
SALISBURY. 
“The Devills were brawling, when Burnet descending, 
Transported them soe, they soon left contending. 
Old Beelzebub rose, our good Bishop to meet, 
And thus the Arch-rebell the Apostate did greet: 
‘My friend, Doctor Burnet, I’m glad beyond measure, 
This vissitt, unlook’d for, gives infinite pleasure. 
Prithee, good Gibby, how goe things above? 
Does G—ge hate the Torys, and Whiggs onely love?’ 
Doctor. 
“« Were your Highness in propria Persona to reign, 
You could not more bravely our party maintain.’ 
Devill, 
st Be en does Doctor Hoadly?’ Dr. ‘Oh, perfectly 
we 
A truer blew Whig you have not in Hell.’ 
Devill. 
“<T always have lov’d him, a perfect good man, 
For he’s a true friend, that does all he can. 
But you may be tyr’d with a journey soe great: 
Wee therefore, dear Son, will let you retreat. 
Hugh Peters is making a speaker within, 
For Luther, Buchanan, John Fox, and Calvin. 
By the time you’ve tippled a brace of Punch bowls 
You'll swear you ne’er met with honester souls. 
This night we’ll carouse, put an end to all pain: 
Go, Cromwell, ye Dog, King William unchain ; 
And tell him that Gibby is lately come down, 
Who just left his Mitre, as he left his Crown. 
Both died as they liv’d, in our service all spent; 
They onely come here who never repent. 
Let our Trumpets aloud our victorys tell, 
ae xa reign for ever.’ ‘ Amen!’ cryed all 
The Vessel which brought William III. (2° S. 
i. 111.) — There is an account of this ship, with 
an engraving reduced from Mr. Ferguson’s paint- 
ing, in Mr. Brayley’s very interesting volume, 
The Graphic and Historical Illustrator, Ato., 
Lond., 1834, p. 255. Reference, however, is there 
made to a statement of Rapin’s, that William 
“embarked on a new vessel called the Brill,” as 
throwing doubt upon the tradition respecting the 
Princess Mary. Her subsequent name is said to 
have been the Betsy Cains, not Cairns.

ADDISON AND ERASMUS. 
Is not the germ of Addison’s Vision of Mirza 
to be found in Erasmus’s Colloquies ? 
“ The Apotheosis of Caprio. 
“ PoMPILIUS, BRASSICANUS. 
“ Br. ‘Methought,’ says he, ‘I was standing by a little 
bridge, that leads into a wonderful pleasant meadow — 
the emerald verdure of the grass and leaves affording 
such a charming prospect - that all the fields 
on this side of the river, by which the blessed field was 
divided from the rest, seemed neither to grow nor to be 
green, but looked dead, blasted, and withered, And in 
the interim, whilst I was wholly taken up with the pro- 
spect, Reuclin came by - He was gotten half 
way over the bridge, Tyatone I perceived him; and as I 
was about to run to him, he looked back, and bid me 
keep off. “ You must not come yet,” says he; “but five 
years hence, ye shall follow me.’ * He had but 
one. garment, and that was of a wonderful shining white ;
