y Ronald from the Orkneys, with the ships that had followed him, he "led the whole armament into Ronaldsha, which he left upon the vigil of St. Lawrence (July 30, O. S.)." Now I wish to know, 1. On what day in August this eclipse took place, the day of the week, commencement of the eclipse, &c. 2. Whether any cotemporary, or other writer besides the Icelandic historian, has recorded this eclipse? S. Fitzroy Street. _D'Israeli--how spelt?_--CAUCASUS is so fortunate as to possess all the acknowledged works of D'Israeli the elder, as published by himself. In the title-page of every one of them, the name {442} of the elegant and accomplished author is spelt (as above) _with_ an apostrophe. In the late edition of his collected works, by his no less accomplished son, the name is printed _without_ the apostrophe. Indeed the name so appears in all the works of Mr. D'Israeli the younger; a practice which he seems to have taken up even in the lifetime of his father, who spelt it differently. Can any of your readers inform CAUCASUS of the reason of this difference, and of the authority for it, and which is the correct mode? He has vainly sought for information in the Heralds' Visitation books for Buckinghamshire, preserved in the British Museum. CAUCASUS. _Richard Oswald._--Could any of your correspondents give me any information respecting Mr. Richard Oswald, the commissioner who negociated the Treaty of 1782 at Paris, with Franklin, and his other colleagues, representing the United States? Is there any obituary or biographical notice of him in existence? L. _Cromwell's Descendants._--Oliver Cromwell's daughter Bridget was baptized August 4, 1624; married to Ireton January 15, 1646-7; a widow Nov. 26, 1651; married to General Fleetwood, Lord President in Ireland, before 1652; died at Stoke, near London, 1681.--Can any of your correspondents furnish the date of this lady's marriage with Fleetwood; also, a list of her children and grandchildren by Fleetwood? It is supposed that Captain Fleetwood's daughter, _i. e._ the General's granddaughter, married a Berry. ERIN. _Letter of Archbishop Curwen to Archbishop Parker._--In _The Hunting of the Romish Fox_, collected by Sir James Ware, and edited by Robert Ware (8vo., Dublin, 1683), there is a long account of an image of the Saviour which, to the astonishment of the good people of Dublin, and by the contrivance of one Father Leigh, sweated blood in the year 155
