A SUBSCRIBER would be glad to know where to find a paper called "Smith's Protestant Intelligencer, Domestic and Foreign," of Feb. 8, 1680; and any person having one to dispose of, would be handsomely remunerated. It contains the following extract, which the present Lord Grimston, Member for St. Alban's, is anxious to possess :-" We learn from St. Alban's, that the town having notice that their two late Members designed to come down from London thither, and judging it might be some expence and trouble to them, called a Hall the day before, and immediately proceeded to elect them, at which time some of the principal persons in the Borough collected about 40l. wherewith they treated the poorer sorts of the inhabitants, and then sent word to their two Burgesses that they had already chosen them for the succeeding Parliament, and would not put them to the inconvenience of a journey thither." The Members were Thos. Pope Blount, esq. of Tittenhanger, and Samuel Grimstou, esq. of Gorhambury. H. H. G. says, "The Thos. Frank, inquired after in p. 194, appears to have been the Rector of Cranfield, co. Bedford; he was also Archdeacon of Bedford, and Preb. of Langford Manor in Lincoln Cathedral. He was succeeded in the above-mentioned Rectory in 1731, by his son.-It is probable the register in question was a transcript made by Thomas Frank; for the gentleman alluded to above was only 68 years of age at the time of his decease in 1731. He was buried in Cranfield Church."

J. T. says, "In your Magazine for December last, p. 508, is the weight of some of the heaviest bells now rung in peal,' and among them the tenor of St. Mary, Redcliff (not Radcliff), Bristol, which church is there stated to have a peal of eight. Being at Bristol lately, I had much pleasure in renewing my acquaintance with that venerable pile, the pride of Bristowe and the western land, and on inquiry found the tower contains a peal of ten bells, two having been added about seven years since.Your Correspondent also states York Minster peal at ten. The Encyclopedia Metropolitana, under the article Bell, says it has twelve; and mentions three other peals of twelve besides those noticed, namely, St. Bride's, Fleet-street, London; Cirencester, and Paynechurch, Gloucestershire."

S. S. A. R. would be obliged by any account of the origin of the little farce of Punch and Judy. He observes, "I find it is under some modifications acted, not only in our streets, but in those of nearly all Europe. I am told it is exceedingly ancient, and is to be found in India; at all events,

it is common in Italy, France, England, Germany, and the northeru states of EuI remember well it used to be the rope. common subject of the raree shows that were exhibited in Moorfields before the alterations there, as early as the year 1795; and these exhibitions are still carried about the country in cases, and shown at the doors of houses in Essex and other counties."

J. F. in an account of Lord Temple's family, finds mentioned the name of a Mr. Dayrell as being "the Counsel at Stowe,' and requests information as to the family and connections of that gentleman.

An OLD SUBSCRIBER says, “In book 7th of Pollok's Course of Time, the following line occurs: From those who drank of Tenglio's stream.' Where is this stream?"

Any information respecting the Rev. William Howell, who in 1760 was appointed Chaplain to his Majesty's ship Dragon of 74 guns; and who resigned a living in Northamptonshire, or one of the neighbouring counties, when so appointed, will oblige a Constant Reader.

P. 176. for Lord J. O'Brien read O'Bryen; the y is peculiar to the Fachiquin branch of the family (now Marquises of Thomond). The extinct Earls of Thomond were O'Briens; as is also Sir Edward O'Brien of Dromoland, the heir to the Barony (but not Earldom) of Inchiquin, after the present Marquis and his brother Lord James O'Bryen.

P. 179, read Sir James Stratford Tynte, Bart. (not Tuite); the Baronetcy of Tynte created in 1778 is extinct. The family was founded in Ireland by Sir Robert Tynte, Knt. fifth son of Edmund Tynte, esq. of Wrexhall in Somersetshire. He died in 1663, and was buried at Kilcredan Church, co. Cork, where there is a monument erected to his memory. Ballycrenane Castle, in the neighbourhood of Kilcredan, was the seat of the Tyntes.
