_Prince Modoc._--At p. 57., "ANGLO-CAMBRIAN" refers to the report of the Proceedings of the British Association at Swansea, in Aug. 1848, extracted from the _Athenæum_ newspaper. In the course of a discussion which took place on Prof. Elton's address, it was observed (if I recollect rightly) by the learned Dr. Latham, that a vocabulary of the so-called Welsh-Indian dialect has been formed, and that it contains _no trace_ of any Celtic root.
_St. Barnabas._--About the time of the Reformation, it was strongly debated whether the festival days of St. Paul and St. Barnabas should be admitted into the calendar; and, in the 2d Book of K. Edward, the conversion of St. Paul is put down in _black_, and St. Barnabas is _omitted altogether_! No wonder, therefore, if, in Suffolk, liberties were taken with the name of St. Barnabas, and it was transferred to doggerel rhyme, to be repeated by children.
_Register of Cromwell's Baptism._--The communication of your correspondent C.W.G. at p. 103. of your last number, induces me to offer you the inclosed copy from the _Register_ of All Saints' Church, Huntingdon, of the birth and baptism of Oliver Cromwell:--
"Anno Domini 1599 Oliverus filius Roberti Cromwell generosi et Elisabethæ huxoris ejus Natus vicesimo quinto die Aprilis et Baptisatus vicesimo nono ejusdem mensis."
Then follow the words "England's plague for many years," written in a different hand.
_The Times._--A correspondent (NASO) informs us of the following fact in the history of this widely circulated and influential journal; namely, that it is stated in that the paper of the 12th of March, 1788, that it was printed "Logographically!" We wish our correspondent had furnished us with the precise words of this very curious statement. { 137}
_Roland Monoux._--I have in my possession a brass monumental plate, said to have been taken from some church in Middlesex, and bearing the following lines, engraved in _black letter_:--
"Behold what droupinge Dethe maye doe, consume y'e corse to duste, What Dethe maie not shall lyue for aye, in spite of Dethe his luste; Thoughe Rouland Monoux shrowdeth here, yet Rouland Monoux lives, His helpynge hand to nedys want, a fame for ever geves; Hys worde and dede was ever one, his credyth never quaylde, His zeall' to Christ was stronge, tyll' dethe w'th latest panges asaylde. Twyse thre and one he Children had, two sones, one kepes his name, And dowghters fyve for home he carde, y't lyve in honest fame. What booteth more, as he be kynde dyd come of Jentyll race, So Rouland Monoux good Desertes this grave can not Deface."
