MINOR CORRESPONDENCE.

The Plate of St. Edward the Confessor, given in the present Number, is intended to replace the one published in the last month's Magazine, which failed in the printing.

We thank Mr. J. H. of Stanford for his interesting Extracts,' which shall be used in the manner he mentions.

S. R. M. thanks our Correspondent D. A. Y. and says, "I should be greatly obliged to him if he can inform me how many children Rowland Meyricke and Eliz. Blundevill had besides Bloundevill Meyricke? The second was named Gelly; what were the names of the rest, and is there any memorial of them or their father or mother in Norfolk?

S. R. M. wishes to know whether any of our Correspondents have ever seen a portrait of the time of Elizabeth, with the following arms: Gules, two porcupines passant Ärgent, armed Or. Such a one might be still preserved somewhere in the county of Norfolk.

We leave the Periodical to which Mr. DUWARD alludes to correct its own errors.

The small brass Coin mentioned by H. R. D. is of the Emperor Quintillus, who flourished about 270 A.C. The reverse represents a figure of Hope, "LETITIA AUG." with XII in the field, probably the twelfth year of his reign. It is very common, and valued at a shilling.

T. N. informs E. B. (p. 2), that the family of Rutt reside at Fulbourn in Cambridgeshire, where their ancestors have resided for many generations, as the parish register will testify.

Mr. MAUND, of Bromsgrove, Warwickshire, says: 66 Having had occasion to inspect the registers of the parish of Tardebigg in this county, 1 observed the following entry: Anno D'm. 1681, Aprill 21st. William Shakspeare of Feckenham and Ann Barber, of this parish, were married.'-Whether the descent of this family could ever be traced from that of our inimitable Bard, I have no means of ascertaining; but the coincidence of name may possibly be interesting to some curious inquirers."

A CONSTANT READER inquires, "What was the crest of Sir Edmund Ludlow the Republican General; and what were the arms of that branch of the Ludlow family bearing a fox's head for their crest? From whom was Edmund Ludlow, esq. of Painswick, Gloucestershire, descended?"

S. N. asks for "an account of the family of Fleetwood? I have heard they came from Lancashire, and had at one time considerable possessions in Staffordshire; the last of that family in the lineal descent died at

Bath about the year 1801. He spelt his name Fletewood.'

H. N. N. requests information respecting the family of Thorman, or Thurman, of Yorkshire, more particularly as to their arms. The family appear to have been highly respectable, and formerly of some importance, as we may reasonably conclude from the affinity their name bears to the names of places in the immediate vicinity of their residence, viz. Thormanby, Thorman Hall, and Lund, situate between Easingwold and Tollerton, locally called Thurman Lund; and whether the Thornham's of Thornham, Norfolk, 10th of John, were of the above family. John, son of Robert de Thornham, was rector of Sparham, Norfolk, 1393.

T. B says, "A Letter occurs in your Magazine, signed R. S. p. 124, containing à pompous description of a comparatively insignificant edition of Terence. Lazarus de Isoardus or Soardus was the printer of several volumes between the years 1490 and 1500. But I beg leave to refer your Correspondent to the Annales Typographici of Panzer for an ample and concise description of his Terence, and for satisfactory notices of the other productions of the same press."

R. remarks, "With much regret I read in a Newspaper a few days ago, that a Lieutenant in the Navy, on half-pay, was taken up for stealing some silver spoons. As it is probable that distress alone could have occasioned a conduct so criminal and degrading, would it not, Mr. Urban, be laudable in our Government to take the situation of this unfortunate class of gentlemen (for such I believe they, generally consideration, and make such allowances to speaking, are)-the half-pay officers, into them as might be sufficient for their decent support; for at present they are dewho has every comfort supplied." cidedly worse off than any menial servant,
