MINOR CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr. KEMPE desires to rectify a misapprehension of Mr. W. S. HESLEDEN, (p. 200), that our former correspondent quoted William of Malmesbury, in a passage which makes mention of the Battle of Brunanburh, and in which the epithet yellow is applied to the sea. A. J. K. distinctly referred to the Saxon Chronicle, as literally translated into English by Miss Gurney, and printed at Norwich in 1819, for gratuitous and private circulation. "I am not aware (adds Mr. KEMPE) that any similar term in relation to the sea is employed by William of Malmesbury in his history; in citing which I merely said that he had imitated the compilers of the Saxon Chronicle by inserting in his work some verses in praise of the renowned monarch Athelstan; but I by no means intimated that the verses in Malmesbury and the Saxon Chronicle were the same. far the appellation of the yellow deep may be intended as applicable to the Humber, is another consideration; but before any positive inference can be drawn from it as to the locality of Brunanburh, it must be shown that the poet intended something more than a natural epithet. When" the bright candle of God the Eternal" sank in the west, and the host of Anlaf sought refuge in their "nailed ships," the deep would be gilt with the rays of departing light, and therefore there appears to me nothing very extraordinary in terming it yellow."

How

Q. says, "F. E. in your Supplement to the Magazine for the last year deserves the thanks of the country at large for his suggestion, in consequence of the late lamented accident of the destruction of Lewisham Church and Registers; and his caution and recommendation to the Clergy respecting the transmission of copies of the Parochial Registers is very judicious; but I am afraid it scarcely extends quite far enough; for I am informed, that in some instances little provision is made for the subsequent arrangement or even careful preservation of the documents when transmitted to the Registry of the diocesan. Some attention seems requisite in this particular; and being now so near to the point, it may not be amiss to suggest that, whatsoever security may be afforded for the preservation of Parochial Registers in iron chests (and by the bye, if the Lewisham Registers were so kept, what becomes of such supposed security from the effects of fire? and if they were not, what punishment do not the negligent parties deserve for the irreparable and incalculable mischief to which they have contributed?) -unless such chests are frequently opened and constantly kept from damp air, the writings, especially parchments, decay much sooner than when kept in a wooden or lat

ticed safe; for this plain reason, that when the chest has been opened in a damp atmosphere, on closing the lid, such a quantity of humidity is kept in contact with the contents, that decomposition must ensue from mere want of ventilation."

P. remarks that "Lord King, in his 'Life of Locke, has printed a letter of Dr. William Fuller, Bishop of Lincoln, in order to show that the celebrated Dr. Stillingfleet, afterwards Bishop of Worcester, received his 'first dignity' in the Church at the request of the Earl of Shaftesbury, and that he must therefore have originally belonged to that nobleman's party. A little inquiry would have shown Lord King that it was not the celebrated Dr. Stillingfleet that was Prebendary of North Kelsey, but John Stillingfleet, D.D. Rector of Beckingham in Lincolnshire (Willis's Cathedrals, ii. 230), and that therefore a charge of ingratitude was gratuitously advanced against that eminent prelate. It may be added, in further proof of the want of research manifested by Lord King, that, had Dr. Edward Stillingfleet been appointed to a prebend in 1674, it would not have been his first dignity,' since he was preferred to the prebend of Islington in the Church of St. Paul's in 1667, and to a canonry of the same Cathedral in 1670."

AN OLD SUBSCRIBER remarks, "Lord' Courtenay having established his right to the Earldom of Devon under the grant to Edward Courtenay, 28 Sept. 1553, it seems to remain a question whether the present Earl be entitled to the precedence of 1553 only, or to the original precedence of 1335 (which would constitute him premier Earl), there being a clause in the patent of 1553 granting to Edward Courtenay the same precedence any of his ancestors being Earls of Devon had heretofore enjoyed. Now the original grant to the Courtenays was dated 22 Feb. 1335.-In what way is the Earl Compton (see Promotions for March) to bear the designation of Kirkness ?”

ANTIQUARIUS will be obliged by being informed if there is any other copy extant of the Parliamentary Surveys made after the death of Charles the First in the time of the Commonwealth or of Cromwell, than the one in the Archiepiscopal Library at Lambeth.

P. 82, for Massareene read Massereene, passim.

P. 268. The late Lord Rivers's Christian names were William Horace, not 'Horace William ;' -on succeeding to the title he took the surnames of Pitt-Rivers for himself, but his children to be Pitt only, during his life-time; but the heir succeeding him in the title to be then Pitt-Rivers.
