448 NOTES AND QTTEBIES. 



No. 5. 

 Church Plate. 



In many churches in Cornwall several interesting chalices, 

 and patens, are still preserved, and are well deserving notice. 



The Editor would be glad to receive any notes on this subject 

 for publication in "Notes and Queries," of the Journal. 



Kindly give as far as practicable the date of the Church 

 plate — the Hall mark — and whether of silver or pewter. 



If it bear any inscription, name of donor, &c, this should 

 be given, with any further account and description necessary. 



Sketches would be very valuable. 



No. 6. 

 The Falmouth Packets. 



Mr. Arthur H. Norway is engaged in compiling a history 

 of the Post Office Packet Service ; and would be much obliged to 

 any persons who will furnish him with information concerning 

 the Falmouth Packets. 



It is proposed to give, so far as they are now recoverable, 

 details of all actions in which the Packets were engaged ; and 

 any letters, journals, or records, which throw light on points 

 connected with the service would probably be of material 

 assistance. Any such documents, if sent to Mr. Norway at "The 

 Secretary's Office, General Post Office, London, E.C." will be 

 most carefully preserved, and returned to their owners in the 

 course of a few days. 



No. 7. 

 Editor's Notice. 



In future it is intended to publish the Journal early in the 

 spring of each year. 



All Papers for insertion in the Journal, and Notes and 

 Queries, should therefore be sent to him before the 31st of 

 December preceding, addressed to the Eoyal Institution, Truro.
