MRS. M. L. BENNETT, of 332, High Holborn, is issuing two special catalogues, one of English and one of foreign works, into which antiquaries and general readers will be glad to dip.

MR. JOHN H. GRINDROD, of Marine Parade, New Brighton, Cheshire, wishes to connect Henry Penn, born on Feb, 2, 1780, where he cannot say, but thinks it must have been Bristol or Bath, and buried at Preston about 1840, with William Penn, the Quaker, and will be glad of information on the subject.

DISPOSED TO INVEST IN A

LITERARY AND ARTISTIC UNDERTAKING

are invited to send for the Draft Prospectus of a proposed Limited Company, having for its object the development of an established Illustrated Publication, which has every reasonable prospect of becoming one of the

greatest artistic and literary successes of the day.

The proposed capital is 20,0007., in 2,000 shares of 102.

each, 11. payable on application, and 41. on allotment. A principal aim of the promoters of this promising undertaking is to add to the reputation already secured

by the Publication proposed to be taken over, by securing a large contingent amongst the subscribers of the capital of able Artists and Writers, whose interests will be doubly promoted by the success of an undertaking in which they will doubly participate,

It is believed that if only half the capital be called up, there is very good ground for anticipating a return of 50 per cent, on the money of investors.

Religion without bigotry, and politics without party. May the priest's welcome never be repaid by rapacity. May a quarrelsome toper be compelled to be a teetotaler.

May the beam in the glass never destroy the ray in the mind.

When we are tempted to lave the clay may we never deprive it of consistency.

A jolly nose, when it is the sign of a good fellow, but not of a sot.

May we never colour the nose by emptying the pocket. May the bloom of the face never extend to the nose. May our glass be broken rather than we should allow merriment to be succeeded by madness.

May the toils of the day be forgotten in the welcome of night.

May-games; may modern refinements never banish

them.

May the spring-time of gladness be succeeded by the winter-time of repose.

Mirth and music uninterrupted by folly or discord. When our hearts are merry may our heads be active. May he who would have two loves be punished with double contempt.

May riotous monks have a double Lent.

Merry monks, but not mad ones.

May monastic rule be firm without severity, and mild without weakness.

May we wear our own clothes, but adopt any person's virtues.

May pride never intrude on a wedding day, nor passion interrupt its harmony.

May a bridal promise never be repented, nor the matri

monial bond regretted.

Merry hearts to village maidens.

Harmless joys, with spirits to enjoy them.

May the pastimes of the present generation never disgrace the pleasures of the past.

The golden days of Queen Bess.

May the poor never want relief while the rich have power to administer it.

Country sports and light-hearted players.

May those who put spirits into their mouths never forget that they will ascend to their brains.

May we see so far before we commence drinking as to prevent our being blind when we have finished.

May we never put an enemy into our mouths to steal away our brains.

May all Millwoods share the fate of Barnwell. May we never forget that the first step into vice is never the last.

May virtuous love be our shield from the harlot's smiles when principle is not.

If the village bells sadden the mind, may the simplicity of their sounds tend to purify the heart.

The village bells, may their sounds awaken the

SCOTS: HER HAIR AND PERUKES.

(See 7th S. iv. 81, 121, 281, 361, 381, 441.) Perhaps it may prove of additional interest to note a few engravings which have been made from portraits of this unfortunate queen, concerning whom so much information has appeared in N. & Q' of the past year, the tercentenary of her execution. No doubt there are many more in existence.
