I saw the same once, and remember that one line ran as follows, viz., And in Chicago ’s dealing Faro. Light on this matter will greatly obli e me. c. gs. s. New York. GOETHR: A QUOTATION.-Wh6r6 in Goethe’s works does this expression occur: “I permit no man to be the keeper of my conscience,” or words of like import? I once heard the above quoted, and was told it was lay Goethe. .H. S. New York. IoNAT1Us LOYOLA AND THUCYDIDES.-In a work called ‘ Book of Human Character/ by Charles Bucke published in 1837, I read this sentence in vol. i. p. 80:- _ “They  e., the Spartans] exemplified a maxim in Thucy :des-that nothing is unjust in aprince or a republic that may prove beneficial.” This reads so much like the doctrine attri- buted to the disciples of Ignatius Lo ola that I_should like to know (1) whether tlle Greek historian ever wrote as above ; (2) and, if he did, what are his exact words. M. L. R. BREsLAR. HENRY or VICHENTON.-IS anything known of Henrixé of Wichenton, who was a usticiar of the ing’s Court during the reigns of Richard I., John, and Henry III., and who is connected with Westmoreland history by the purchase of estates in that county durin those reigns? Was he related to William of Véichen- ton, who, about a generation later, was a jus- tice itinerant? F. H. M. PARKER. Inner Temple. STEWART or ATHENRY, BART. - Can any reader give me additional particulars (besides those slulpplied in Burke) of the mother of the Riglht on. Sir John Stewart, first baronet of At enry? What was the parentage of her father, the Rev. Andrew Hamilton; and which baronet was her grandfather, Sir William Conyngham, Bart.l I cannot find the latter in Paterson’s ‘Ayrshire,’ Cuning- ham of Cuninghamhead, Barts. RALPH Smzoconn. LATIN AIOTTO.*COl1lCl you or any of your readers favour me in the columns of your paiper with the meaning of the following: ‘ ustrum sine filliatione”? The words occur on an old coat of arms but have heretofore baffled all attempts to find a translatoiz. N COL. COMTE DE BRAUMANOIR.-Could any correspondent inform me whether this Breton oiiicer accompanied General Lally in the Indian expedition which ended in the cap- ture of Pondicherry by the British in Janu- ary, 1761, and whether he fell in this expedition, or subsequently took part in the French Revolution? FELIX. ST. HUGH’8 DAY.-This festival is held on 17 November. Where is the best account of the special liturgy and of the media-:val MS. psalter containing it to be found; W U AUTHOR AND REFERENCI ron Vnnsns WANTED. -In my youth -perhaps sixty years ago-I often heard my father repeat ines which I never saw in print, and should now much like to know who was the author of them, and where I can find them. I can only recall a few words. The period was that at which the first attempt was made to relieve Ireland of the burden of the support of the Anglican Church, and these verses-without direct reference to the sugqlect -were intended to call attention to it. ey represented India-“ where people don’t eat meat ”-as compelled to support A beautiful row of butchers’ shops, A costly meat establishment. The lpiece is associated in my mind with the neig bourhood in which I was brought up, an may have been written bsy Mr. ndrew Crosse, the electrician, or ydnlei' Smith during his life at Combe Florey. iefather knew the former well and I remem r him as he walked up and down our dining-room, reciting his serious poems, of which he then gave copies in his own handwriting to my ather. But I fail to find any political ones among them, though I know that he also wrote political squi s for electioneering pur- poses. MARY E. BALL. ‘ Go TO THE DEVIL AND SRAKE YOURSELF., -This was a pliece of dance music, and was gerformed at t e Alresford (Hants) Assembly all in the year 1795 or 1796, and was then well known to oung ladies fond of dancing. The poet Crabbe in his ‘Tales’ (1814), ‘The Concert,’ tale xix., says :- What ’s here ! A book of dances! You advance In goodl‘y knowledge. John, wilt learn to dance? How ! ‘Go-,” it says, and “tothe devil go! And shake thyself.” Crabbe probabl altered the title slightly to fit his metre.
