van, Ireland, belonging
to some branch of the ancient and noble Scottish family of that name, who
had migrated to these shores. Perhaps some of your readers could inform me
as to what branch they belonged, and when they settled in Ireland, as also
if there be any pedigree of them extant, as I am very anxious to learn
something of them at all events?

GULIELMUS.

Dublin.

_Arms of Geneva._--Will any of your correspondents oblige me with a
technical blazon of the arms of the town of Geneva?

F. F. B.

Bury St. Edmunds.

_Webb of Monckton Farleigh._--Perhaps some reader of "N. & Q." would be so
good as to inform me what were the arms, crest, and motto of the Webbs of
Monckton Farleigh, co. Wilts; also, if there be any pedigree of them
extant, and where it is to be found; or otherwise would direct me what
would be my best means to ascertain some account of that family, who are
now represented by the Duke of Somerset?

HENRI.

_Translation Wanted._--Can any of your correspondents inform me where I may
meet with a translation by the Rev. F. Hodgson, late Provost of Eton, &c.,
of the _Atys_ of Catllus?

P. J. F. GANTILLON, B.A.

_Latin Translation from Sheridan, &c._--My treacherous memory retains one
line only of each of two translations into Latin verse, admirably done, of
two well-known pieces of English poetry. The first from a song by Sheridan,
of the lines:

"Nor can I believe it then,
Till it gently press again."

"Conscia ni dextram dextera pressa premat."

The second:

"Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long."

is thus rendered:

"Poscimus in terris pauca, nec illa diu."

If in the circle of your correspondents the complete translations can be
furnished, you will by their insertion, gratify other lovers of modern
Latin poetry besides

BALLIOLENSIS.

_Gale of Rent._--I can imagine what is meant by a _gale of rent_, and be
thankful I have not to pay one. But what is the origin of the term _gale_
as thus applied?

_Arms of Sir Richard de Loges._--What were the arms borne by Sir Richard de
Loges, or Lodge, of Chesterton, in the county of Warwick, temp. Henry IV.?

_Gentile Names of the Jews._--Are the Jews known to each other by their
Gentile names of Rothschild, Montefiore, Davis, &c.? or are these only
their _nommes de guerre_, assumed and abandoned at will on change of
country?

_Henry, Earl of Wotton_
