Mr. Disraeli's letter to Mr. Delane in '1ST. & Q.' of July 17, is most interesting, and is, as the writer says, " about as im- prudent a letter as was ever written." The following extract from the speech of Lord ' Beaconsfield at the Lord Mayor's banquet on Nov. 9, 1878, is amusing, when bearing in mind his anxiety to get The Time? to support Lord Derby's ministry in 1858. After referring to certain paragraphs which had appeared in some newspapers expressive of doubts as to the fulfilment by Foreign Powers of the Treaty of Berlin, and as to certain gossip on the same subject, Lord Beaconsfield went on to say : " But the government of the world is carried on by Sovereigns and statesmen, and not by anonymous paragraph-writers, or the hare-brained chatter of irresponsible frivolity." of Drummore, dated Nov. 27, 1752. : William Reynolds of Drummore in Parish of Drumholm, co.

To his wife Dorothy Reynolds he was under an obligation by virtue of a Marriage Article to settle upon her a yearly sum of 10. To his daughter Jane Jones otherwise Jane Reynolds (her husband was Henry Jones) all the rest of his worldly substance, but in case of her dying without issue, then the remainder of his lease of the lands of Drummore unto Michael Reynolds, eldest son of his dear brother John Reynolds. He appointed his dear brother John Reynolds of Drummore and William Pain of Ardilaun, executors. H. F. R.
