IIy. Wilson. 



Linen ly Tom ]\fonre. — About thirty years ago 

 some stanzas said to be by Moore, but which are 

 not to be found in his "Works, excited considerable 

 attention. Tiie French Eagle addresses the peo- 

 ple in the Place Vendome. The following four 

 lines are all which I remember : — 



"Where are the Gallic eagles gone, 

 Which shadowed ivith extended wings 

 The sceptered pride of all save one 

 Of Europe's subjugated kings ? " 



I shall be much obliged if any of j'our readers 

 can tell me the name of the poem, and where it is 

 to be found. If not too long a copy would be a 

 great favour, as I may not be within reach of 

 many English books. E. A. E.

 spondents inform nie of the position of Wellstye,

 tliat place about 1670? Is there any list of the 

 manors of England in existence ? E. C. W.

 Mercury records, under the date of November 

 30, 1771, that "at a late sale of a gentleman's 

 effects at Richmond a Negro hoy was put up, and 

 sold for 32/. ; " and adds, " a shocking instance in 

 a free country ! " Is there any authentic record 

 of a later sale of a slave in England ? 



PiSHEY Thompson. 



English Mode of Pronouncing Latin. — May I 

 request some of your classical correspondents to 

 inform me (or to direct me to sources wiience the 

 information is to be obtained) at what time and 

 under what circumstances we in England adopted 

 a mo<le of pronouncing Latin, more especially in 

 relation to the vowel a, which differs from that 

 of every other country in Europe, and is not 

 warranted (so far as 1 know) by the practice 



of either the ancient or the modern inhabitants 

 of Italy ? J. Emekson Tenkent. 



Sunday in the Sixteenth Century. — A little 

 work, entitled An Earnest Complaint of divers 

 vain, wicked, and abused Exercises practised on the 

 Suboth Day, by H. Eoberts, Minister (London, 

 by Eicharde Johnes, 1572, ISmo.), gives a great 

 deal of information on the abuse of Sunday at 

 that period : — 



" I may speak of one notable abuse w>» among the rest 

 is so much practised, tliat it is made in a manner lawful 

 for Christians to breake and violate y^ CorTiaiidcments of 



God : and it is called a silmr game Y" people wil 



not stick to go x or xii miles upon the Saboth day iu the 

 moring unto a siluer game." 



He speaks also of — 



" Bearbaitings and Bullbaltiiigs, for w^ porpos Piin/sh 

 Garden at London is a place whiche drawcth a multitude 

 upon the Saboth day." 



Is anything known of this so- called silver game? 

 and what place is meant by " Parysh Garden.?"* 



E. C. W. 



Macdonulds of Perthshire. — I feel very much 

 interested in a flimily of Macdonald, of whom 

 William was born at Perth in 1680, and married 

 Elizabeth Lowther of the city of Durham, circa 

 1735, where he died in 1777. They had a son 

 Thomas, who was buried in the Mayor's Chapel, 

 Bristol, in 1782, and a grandson, Robert Henry, 

 who died at Durham, 31st July, 1831. They were 

 all in the medical profession (the first was a sur- 

 geon, and the others were physicians), and the 

 latter was born in Jamaica, whither the family 

 went before 1755. Any genealogical account of 

 the family doion to William will be much prized 

 by A Descendant. 



The Indian Princess Pocahontas. — Can you 

 inform me where the Indian Princess Pocahontas 

 was buried ? I have searched and inquired in 

 vain, both in this country and in America ? 



Mhs. H. S. Eogers.

Blackheath Ridges. — Can any of your readers 

 inform me if the ridges on Blackheath are natural 

 undulations, or have they been thrown up by the 

 plough at any time ? S. 



Pope, Turner, Clarke, Nealc, Lascelles. — ■ What 

 was the relationship between Pope's Turners of 

 York and the Turners of Kirkleatham ?f What 

 was the relationship between these latter and Sir 

 Paul Neale ? The Turners were patrons of the 

 livings of Kildale and Kirby Syston [?], to which 

 they appointed, first, the Eev. Mr. Neale, and, on 

 his decease, the Eev. Thos. Eobert Clarke, A.M.
