MINOR CORRESPONDENCE. DOCTOR AQUILLA SMITH begs leave to inform R. T. (p. 450) respecting his queries relating to the Irish Annalists, that the Annals of Multifernan are printed from the original MS. in the Library of Trinity College, Dublin, and that they will be published within a fortnight by the Irish Archæological Society. The Annals of the Priory of St. John the Evangelist, of Kilkenny," are probably the same as those known now under the name of "Grace's Annals of Ireland," which are published by the Irish Archæological Society. Grace was a Kilkenny man. Clynn's Annals are preparing for publication by the same Society. As to the Annals of Rosse and Clonmel, Dr. Smith regrets that he cannot give any information. A. J. K. takes occasion to express the pleasure it has given him to find that his observations on the site of the ancient Anderida have been received with so much candour and courtesy by J. P. In reply to whose query, How, when, and by whom the manor of Newenden, by the name of Andred, was given to the monks of Canterbury ?" A. J. K. begs to refer him to Dr. Harris's History of Kent, who says, "that it was granted by King Offa to the Archbishop of Canterbury, A.D. 791, ad pascua porcorum," and to Hasted, who corroborates the statement in these words, "The manor of Newenden was given by Offa King of Mercia, by the name of Andred, to the monks of Christ Church, in Canterbury, for the feed of their hogs, being in the vast wood or forest, called Andred on the Weald." Henry of Huntingdon, who wrote in the twelfth century, describes the spot where Anderida stood, as in an entirely desolate and ruined state, in which it had remained for many ages; a description by no means applicable to the town and stately castle of Arundel. Harris says," Castle Toll, at Newenden, is a raised piece of land, containing about 18 or 20 acres, and situated on a point of land between the river Rother and Haydon Sewer; it lies about one mile and a quarter E.N.E. from Newenden On the east side it has the remains of a deep ditch and bank, which seem to have gone quite round it." Hasted says, "The form of this entrenchment is square, with the corners a little rounded." Harris seems to think that the appellation Newenden applied to the present town arose out of the circumstance of its being built near the old Anderida, that it was called Newen-dune, the new hill, in contradistinction to the other neighbouring eminence, which had been occupied by the Roman station. Relative to Arndred farm, A. J. K. can at present give no other account than that it appears on the face of the Ordnance map; Dr. Harris also mentions a spot called Anderdown, near Newenden, as retaining traces of the old name Anderida. Surely these circumstances are much stronger than any which can be found to fix Anderida at Arundel. In reference to the suggestion of S.Y.S., (p. 450), the Rev. STEPHEN ISAACSON begs to state, that thirteen years ago be advertised, "Fasti Episcopatus Angli. cani," embracing (after the manner of a Biographical Dictionary,) the Lives of all the Archbishops and Bishops from the time of Augustine, in which he proposed a brief memoir, a list of their several publications, and a condensed account of all they had done or contemplated in behalf of Christianity. In prosecution of this, no small labour, he had completed four or five sees, but the encouragement held out promising no adequate remuneration for his toil and incidental expenses, the work has been intermitted. The communica. tion of S. Y. S., however, has partially revived his energy in the pursuit; and, should any of your correspondents feel disposed to further the project, he would not be unwilling to prosecute the task, having a considerable mass of undigested materials for such a work, and feeling himself, from the time and attention already bestowed upon the subject, in some degree, at least, qualified for it. The same gentleman would be obliged for information respecting the alliances or collateral connection of the families of Redhead and Watkinson with that of the Sheffields, Dukes of Buckingham. The small brass coin recently found near Walsall, of which an impression has been sent us by A FARMER, is one of the tokens issued by the traders of Nuremberg, which were formerly used in this country as counters in casting up reckonings of money. A Correspondent from Newport Pagnell writes us, that about ten years ago a painting of St. Christopher, as well as one on a subject unknown, was discovered in the neighbouring parish church of Ra venstone.
