Amiens. HANOVERIAN COINS: SHAM SOVEREIGNS (4th S. ii. 325.)—I have one of these jettons before me. On the obverse is the Queen's head, and the legend "Victoria Queen of Great Brit. 1862." On the reverse, the Duke of Cumberland on horseback, accompanied by a winged Cerberus with a forked tail. Legend: "To Hanover, 1837." into "N. & Q." under the disguise of antiquarian a-week for the paymaster; twopence in the pound research or literary criticism. FITZHOPKINS. for the agent; and the off-reckoning went to the colonel, who provided clothing. Cavalry soldiers had ninepence a-day more; but this was absorbed in feeding the horse, and for veterinary surgeons, blacksmiths, and riding-masters' fees. In 1771 the hospital money, though deducted, was paid back under the name of vegetable money; but in 1783, by an Act known as Mr. Burke's Act, the soldier was relieved of all payment for poundage, hospital money, and fees. In 1792 and 1795, necessary and bread money was increased: so that a private received 6d. a-day beyond the original 8d.; and in 1800, beer was no longer issued to the men, but one penny a-day was granted to them instead of liquor. SEBASTIAN. Pallion, Sunderland. JOHNSON BAILY. VRE DE BOSCO (4th S. ii. 276.)—May not this Putney. WESTMINSTER ABBEY (4th S. i. 203.)-In the revised edition of the Memorials I see it is stated that the Lady Mexborough whose burial is noticed was the wife of Lord Delaval's nephew, not his sister. (Vide note at p. 340.) It so happens that both these ladies died in the same year, as may be seen by reference to the pages of Sylvanus Urban. The countess-dowager died in Dover Street, Aug. 8, 1821; and is, I think, being herself a Delaval, more likely to have been buried in the Delaval vault than her daughter-in-law, who died before her on June 7. Apropos of the Delavals, may I ask who was the father of Sir Ralph Delaval, M.P. for Great Bedwin, 1695-1698-the admiral who so greatly distinguished himself in the sea-fight off Cape La Hogue, and was buried in the Abbey Jan. 23, 1706-7? I cannot find him in the pedigree, and it has been suggested that he may have been a natural son. E. H. A. PAY OF THE ARMY IN FORMER TIMES (4th S. ii. 297.)-The following is a list of the pay of private soldiers of infantry regiments in various past years. I do not know the pay in 1775: In 1557, the pay was 8d. a-day; in 1598, 8d.; in 1620, 8d.; in 1639, 8d.; in 1655, 9d.; in 1661, 6d.; in 1771, 63d.; in 1792, 10d.; in 1797, 1s.; and in 1800, 1s. 1d. In the last rate the penny was given in lieu of beer, which the men formerly received as part of their subsistence. C. S. REVELL. The pay of an infantry soldier, when our present army was first established in 1660, was 8d. a-day in the country, and 10d. a-day in or near the metropolis; but this stipend was considerably diminished by the heavy deductions made from it. There was a poundage, or a tax of one shilling in the pound, paid by the soldier in consideration of his having his subsistence furnished him in advance; one day's pay annually for Chelsea Hospital; one halfpenny a-week for the surgeon of his regiment, and for medicine; one halfpenny "Amongst the antiques shown I chiefly admired two beautiful miniatures of rare value; one (set in brilliants) a likeness of General Sir William St. Leger, Lord Deputy of Munster, which descended to Dr. Durdin by the marriage of his grandfather with Miss St. Leger; and the other a likeness of the famous William Penn (believed to be the only one extant) taken at Paris whilst he was sojourning at the French court. This picture in like manner passed to the present owner by the marriage of Alexander Durdin with the widow of William Penn (grandson of William), and by whom he became pos sessed of large estates in the county of Cork and in Penn- Court Place, Carlow. BALIOL FAMILY (4th S. i. 616.)-My knowledge of Scottish history is far too scanty to qualify me to assist A. B. in his researches into the pedigree of the Baliol family, neither have I access to any documents relating to the subject. The communication I sent to "N. & Q." some weeks torial name since was only intended to show that the terriwas derived from the village and lordship of Bailleul in Vimeu, a portion of the ancient county of Ponthieu lying on the left bank of the Somme. This supposition is strengthened by the titles given by A. B., in his query (antè, p.310), to Rainold de Baliol, who is styled "Lord of Bailleul, Dompierre, and Hélicourt, and Sheriff of Salop in 1078." My local history of Abbeville and the villages of its arrondissement, under the description of the village and commune of Bailleul, enumerating the fiefs and feudal possessions of the seigneurie in ancient times, mentions "Dompierre." In a subsequent volume of the same history, under the description of Mons. Boufert, a village and commune also in Viveu, it is said: "Ce qu'il y a de certain, c'est que Jean de Bailleul, Roi d'Ecosse, retint toujours le cri de sa maison, Helli court. "Hellicourt en Ponthieu, nous dit Dom Grenier, est une Baronie située en ce comté, laquelle lui appartenait de son propre avec les seigneuries de Bailleul en Vimeu et d'Hornoy." If A. B. will send me his address, I shall be happy to copy and send to him some particulars of the intermarriages of the Baliol family with other noble families in France, also contained in my book, but which would occupy too much space in "N. & Q." F. C. WILKINSON. Lymington, Hants. BELLS (4th S. ii. 326.)—I thank MR. MAC CABE for his kind communication; but I shall be more thankful to him if he will tell me where to find "the huge folio of Valentinus," and the work of "Drabicius, De Cœlo et Cœleste Statu." The other articles of bell-literature I long ago communicated to the pages of "N. & Q." With regard to the publication relating to the bells of Devonshire, that was issued last year to the members of the Exeter Diocesan Architectural Society, and may be obtained from the secretary. The quarto volume, containing the same, with a Supplement largely illustrated, is nearly ready, and will be delivered as early as possible to those who may kindly favour me with their names as subscribers. H. T. ELLACOMBE. Rectory, Clyst St. George, Devon. Miscellaneous. NOTES ON BOOKS, ETC. Supplement to Volume I. and Volume II. of Letters, Despatches, and State Papers relating to the Negociations between England and Spain preserved in the Archives at Simancas and elsewhere. 1. Queen Katharine. 2. Intended Marriage of King Henry VII. with Queen Juana. Edited by G. A. Bergenroth. (Published under the Direction of the Master of the Rolls.) (Longman.) When Mr. Bergenroth began his researches in the archives of Simancas eight years ago, he was not long in discovering that its chief officer was, in spite of his profession to the contrary, availing himself of his authority to keep back all documents that he thought might reflect dishonour on reigning families and other great personages. But to the honour of Don Severo Catalina be it recorded, that, when the Department of Public Instruction was entrusted to him during the ministry of Marshal Narvaez, he procured a royal order that all documents at Simancas, without any reservation, should be communicated to Mr. Bergenroth. When this concession was obtained, that gentleman was naturally anxious to ascertain how far his former volumes had received injury from the restriction which had been put upon him; and he was not long in discovering two errors into which he had been betrayed. The first relates to the private life of Queen Katharine before and after her marriage with Henry VIII., and the other to the marriage projects of Henry VII. with regard to Queen Juana, the widow of King Philip, and the mother of the Emperor Charles V. The papers on these subjects which he discovered he here prints at length, and very properly. They throw grave doubts on the alleged insanity of Juana, and would rather suggest whether she was not a victim firstly of the tyranny of her mother, and then of the avarice of her father, her husband, and her son. But interesting as these documents unquestionably are, they will fail to attract the attention of the general reader in the same degree as those which Mr. Bergenroth now publishes on the subject of Queen Katharine. Her private character has hitherto been unimpeached, her personal virtues the subject of general praise-Mr. Bergenroth shared the universal opinion; but he now avows that his unconditional commendation of her was the result of the suppression of the correspondence which he now publishes, and the discovery of which makes it his duty to reverse his former judgment. The story here told of her intimate relations with her confessor, Fray Diego Fernandez-a monk having neither learning, nor appearance, nor manners, nor competency, nor credit, but light, haughty, and licentious to an extreme degree-must startle all who up to this time have held her 4 Light on the Historians and on the History of Crowland Abbey. With an Account of Burgh (now Peterborough) in the Time of the History which is called the Ingulfus. By Henry Scale English. (J. Russell Smith.) In the year 1830 students of our early history were much puzzled by the appearance of a volume entitled Ancient History, English and French, exemplified in a regular Dissection of the Saxon Chronicle, and Mr. Eng. lish, who was himself the author of it, says, "That book does the writer very little credit," and few who endeavoured to understand it will be prepared to contradict him. The work before us is written so completely in the same style and spirit, and exemplifies so strongly the truth of the line "Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined," that we cannot encourage the author to hope that it will meet with higher favour than its predecessor. THE CAMDEN SOCIETY.-At the last meeting of the Council of the Camden Society, a communication was received from Mr. Tite announcing that, being desirous of marking his sense of the honour which the Society had conferred upon him by electing him President, he had thought he could not do so in a more appropriate form than by presenting a book to the Society; and Manningham's Diary (a MS. known to most of our readers from the use made of it by Mr. Collier in his History of the Stage) being such a book as he hoped would be generally acceptable, he had it printed uniformly with the other Camden books for circulation among the members, and hoped the Council would do him the favour to accept the same on behalf of the Society. As this curious Diary presents us with very striking pictures of the state of London at the time of the death of Elizabeth, and is filled with gossip and chit chat, which a young barrister picked up in hall and elsewhere, it cannot be otherwise than amusing and interesting; and, as Mr. Bruce has Notices to Correspondents.

This Instrument has a clear magnifying power of 32,000 times, shows all kinds of Animalcula in Water, Circulation of the Blood, &c. &c., Adulteration of Food, Milk, &c., and is just the Microscope that every Surgeon, Dentist, Schoolmaster, Student, and Working Man should have. It is pronounced by the Press (and all scientific men who have seen it), to be the best, cheapest, and most simple microscope ever invented. It has twenty times the power of the Coddington or Stanhope Microscope, and is twice as good as the celebrated Rae Microscope (which has been awarded so many prize medals), as may be inferred from the following letter received from Mr. Rae himself: "CARLISLE, DECEMBER 12th, 1867.

In constitutions breaking down under piles, fistulas, and other similarly painful maladies, a few applications of this cooling Ointment will give comfort, and a persistence in its use will effect a cure.
