e "Graduati
Cantabrigienses" only commence in 1659 in the printed list; but there must
be older lists than this at Cambridge. Collins mentions that he was so
conspicuous in his zeal for the Reformed religion, that he ran great risk
of his life in Queen Mary's reign, and that one of his servants was burnt
in Smithfield. Can any one inform me of his authority for this statement?

_Canning on the Treaty of 1824 between the Netherlands and Great
Britain._--When and under what circumstances did Canning use the following
words?--

"The results of this treaty [of 1824 between England and Holland, to
regulate their respective interests in the East Indies] were an
admission of the principles of free trade. A line of demarcation was
drawn, separating our territories from theirs, and ridding them of
their settlements on the Indian continent. All these objects are now
attained. We have obtained Sincapore, we have got a free trade, and in
return we have given up Bencoolen."

Where are these words to be found, and what is the title of the English
paper called by the {366} French _Courier du Commerce_?--From the
_Navorscher_.

_Ireland a bastinadoed Elephant._--"And Ireland, like a bastinadoed
elephant, kneeled to receive her rider." This sentence is ascribed by Lord
Byron to the Irish orator Curran. Diligent search through his speeches, as
published in the United States, has been unsuccessful in finding it. Can
any of your readers "locate it," as we say in the backwoods of America? A
bastinado properly is a punishment inflicted by beating the soles of the
feet: such a flagellation could not very conveniently be administered to an
elephant. The figure, if used by Curran, has about it the character of an
elephantine bull.

_Memorial Lines by Thomas Aquinas._--

"Thomas Aquinas summed up, in a quaint tetrastic, twelve causes which
might found sentences of nullity, of repudiation, or of the two kinds
of divorce; to which some other, as monkish as himself, added two more
lines, increasing the causes to fourteen, and to these were afterwards
added two more. The former are [here transcribed from] the note:

'Error, conditio, votum, cognatio, crimen,
Cultus disparitas, vis, ordo, ligamen, honestas,
Si sis affinis, si forte coeire nequibis,
Si parochi, et duplicis desit praesentia testis,
