MINOR CORRESPONDENCE.

Since the articles on York Minster were printed, the Dean of York has published a letter, in which occurs this important passage: "I have decided to leave the Screen for the present where it is, and to rebuild the choir where it was. But in deference to the opinion of the many talented persons who have recommended that the bases of the great column should be uncovered, I beg to state publicly, that it is my intention (if the Chapter should not dissent) as soon as the work of restoration shall be finished, to set back the west front of the Screen a few feet, and to have worked in stone those parts which are now worked in plaster. The expense, however, attending this alteration, will be defrayed by the Dean and Chapter, and will not be charged to the Restoration Fund."-On this reprieve of the Screen we heartily congratulate our readers, and devoutly pray it may be converted into a full and unrestricted pardon.

Col. MACDONALD, of Exeter, observes, "In the whole history of Britain, there cannot be a more interesting period than that now revolving, when a radical error which has been increasing and deteriorating the finest Constitution otherwise on earth, is about to be removed, and to restore it to its pristine excellence, by a salutary Reform in the House of Commons. This just and moderate amelioration has been frequently stated in your Magazine, but without adverting to what is now made a principal feature at public meetings, i. e. the BALLOT. The advocates against it urge that it opens a door to bribery, deceit, and even perjury, while those in its favour say, that mankind are better than is supposed by the first case, and therefore may be left to vote conscientiously by the second case, or without what some term the shelter, and others, the treachery of the ballot. Seeing that opinions thus run in directions diametrically opposite; and that, in all human probability, no detrimental consequences will arise from either mode of voting at elections, let it be made optional with every person coming forward to give his suffrage, so to do either by open vote or by ballot. This procedure will prove satisfactory to all, without giving offence to any; and terminate a contest appearing endless without such a simple expedient, and unattended with the slightest inconvenience."

With reference to the Polignac pedigree (p. 101), W. H. L. remarks, that "Dame d'Atours is the office of tirewoman to the Queen of France, or perhaps similar to our lady in waiting; and as this communicates no information as to the name or title of the ex-minister's mother, he should be glad to see this blank filled up.-Vol. C. ii.

p. 382, Lady Horton became a widow Nov. 15, (not 22) 1811."

MELAS is desirous of noticing a remark in the review of the Excerpta Historica, part III. in our January number, p. 55; where it is suggested that horribiliter is a mistake for honorabiliter, arising from a contraction in the original. Having been the contributor of the article in that work, though he had compared the passage of William Wyrcestre with the original MS. in the Heralds' College, he has again purposely examined the word, and found correct. In the MS. it is "mag' audact' et horribilit' se habuit." The word seems to mean fiercely.

MELAS would be gratified by the solution of this anagram, SOL LUCET ARDUIS; uuder which transposed form of the letters is hidden the name of the author of an abridgment of Vossius's Rhetoric, compiled for the Grammar Schools at Amsterdam (Gronoviæ, 1711, 8vo.)

An Old Subscriber says, "I was surprised to find it stated in Lodge's Portraits, that the present Viscount St. Vincent succeeded his elder brother in the Peerage. His Lordship succeeded his maternal uncle, the Earl of St. Vincent, and is the second Peer of the family. In your memoir of the Earl of Bandon, it is incorrectly stated that the family of Bernard was established in Ireland by Judge Bernard. That learned and estimable lawyer was born in 1663, at Castle Mahon, co. Cork, the seat of his father Francis Bernard, esq. and of his grandfather Francis Bernard, of Castle Mahon, whose will, dated 21 Dec. 1657, proved 10 Oct. 1660, is on record in Dublin. The name of the family place was changed from Castle. Mahon to Castle Bernard about a century ago. The last edition of Debrett's Peerage states Helen le Scrope as the wife of John Smythe of Corsham. The pedigree in your last number varies from this account, and calls her Joan Brouncker. Debrett states the Smythes to have been seated in Wiltshire for seven centuries,-query, a misprint for some centuries?"

An Occasional Correspondent begs to suggest that "The Bells of Ouseley" (mentioned in Sept. Magazine, p. 194,) is a corruption for "Bells of Osney," which Abbey was formerly famous for its bells. The great bell of Christchurch, Oxford, came from Osney Abbey.

We are sorry we cannot oblige "An Occupier of his Glebe," but we must decline renewing the correspondence on "Clerical Farmers."

If T. E. will favour us with a reply to Mr. Woolmer's paper on "the Geology of Dartmoor, &c. we shall we glad to give it consideration.

ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS.

ORIGINAL LETTERS OF DR. BERKELEY, BISHOP OF CLOYNE.

Ampton, near Bury Mr. URBAN, St. Edmund's, Feb. 1. YOUR interesting Miscellany having now for a century been the depository of literary and antiquarian information, I trust you will indulge an old admirer, although a new correspondent, with the insertion of the two inclosed original Letters, from an early contributor to your valuable pages, that eminently learned and pious prelate the late George Berkeley, Bishop of Cloyne, in Ireland; a man well known in the literary world, as the contemporary and intimate friend of Pope, Swift, and Bp. Atterbury, the former of whom said, no less justly than beautifully, of him, "To Berkeley every virtue under heaven;" and the latter, when asked by Mr. Pope for his opinion of him, replied, "So much learning, so much knowledge, so much humility, I did not think had been the portion of any but angels, until I saw Berkeley."

The first was written to Sir John James of Bury St. Edmund's, Bart. eldest son of Sir Cane James of that place, by Dame Ann his second wife, daughter and coheir of Francis Philipps, of the Inner Temple, London, and of Sunbury, in Middlesex, esq. Sir John was the last heir male of his family, who were formerly seated at Crishall, in Essex. The other is addressed to a Mr. John Smibert, an artist residing, in 1726, in the Little Piazza, Covent-garden, but at the time of writing this letter, at Boston, in New England. He, with Sir John, then Mr. James, accompanied the writer in 1728 in his voyage, on the Bermuda design.

LETTER I.

Dear Sir, Cloyne, June 30, 1736. In this remote corner of Imokilly, where I hear only the rumours and

echoes of things, I know not whether you are still sailing on the ocean, or already arrived to take possession of your new dignity and estate. In the former case I wish you a good voyage, in the latter I welcome you and wish you joy.

I have a letter written and lying by me these three years, which I knew not whither or how to send you. But now you are returned to our hemisphere, I promise myself the pleasure of being able to correspond with you.

You who live to be a spectator of odd scenes, are come into a world much madder and odder than that you left. We also in this island are growing an odd and mad people. We were odd before, but I was not sure of our having the genius necessary to become mad. But some late steps of a public nature give sufficient proof thereof.

Who knows but when you have settled your affairs, and looked about and laughed enough in England, you may have leisure and curiosity to visit this side of the water? You may land within two miles of my house, and find that from Bristol to Cloyne is a shorter and much easier journey than from London to Bristol.

I would go about with you, and show you some scenes perhaps as beautiful as you have seen in all your travels. My own garden is not without its curiosity, having a great number of myrtles, several of which are seven or eight feet high. They grow naturally, with no more trouble or art than gooseberry-bushes. This is literally true. Of this part of the world it may be truly said, that it is—

Ver ubi longum lepidasque præbet Jupiter brumas.

My wife most sincerely salutes you. We should without compliment be overjoyed to see you. I am in hopes
