MINOR CORRESPONDENCE.

BIBLIOPHILUS refers our Correspondent Mr. C. J. Smyth, p. 3. to Lowth's Latin Prælections, 8vo. page 118, or to the Index of texts at the end of the work. "Houbigant," he says, "reads the Hebrew word with a inserted, thus, '', Eyεnoa σe, and thinks the words

superfluous. With this correction it will agree with the Septuagint, and thus most probably the Hebrew copy read it. Horsley's Annotations on this passage are not unworthy of notice. See Bp. Horsley on the Psalms."-He wishes an opinion as to what was the reading of the 6th verse of the 40th Psalm in the copy from which the Septuagint translated; since the passage in our Version "mine ears hast thou opened," they read "a body hast thou prepared me;" a difference truly material with respect to words.

Mr. CHAMBERLIN, in reference to the observations on the proper translation of Psalm cx. v. 3. offers the rendering of Mons. Ostervald as nearly corresponding with the improved reading suggested by the Rev. Dr. Mant, in the Notes to his useful Bible. "Ton Peuple sera un Peuple plein de franche volonté, au jour que tu assembleras ton armée avec une sainte pompe; ta posterité sera comme la rosée qui est produite du sein de l'aurore."

Mr. C. J. SMYTH says, "I have lately purchased a very useful, and, as I suppose, not a very common book, 'Liber Psalmorum Hebraice, Editio nova cum annotationibus A. Hulsii, Hildâ-montani, Lugduni Bat. clǝlocL.' I mention it merely for the purpose of expressing a wish that some one would publish a Translation of the Elegantiæ Hebraicæ annexed to this Psalter of Hulse; and very much enlarge the plan of it. I am disposed to think such a publication would be highly useful and entertaining."

A malicious and unfounded report having been circulated through the medium of several of the London papers, stating, that "the Duke of Portland had left Leamington in consequence of inundations and fogs;" Mr. Bisset assures us that the whole is a most scandalous and gross misrepresentation."There is not a place in the kingdom more free from fogs or damp; the air is pure and salubrious, and the springs are reckoned superior to any in the Imperial kingdom. When the report was first circulated, the inhabitants of Leamington deemed it too insignificant to notice but when they found that the paragraph from the London Papers had been copied in several of the Provincial

:

prints, Mr. Bisset thought proper to address the Duke of Portland on the subject, and was immediately honoured with a letter authorising him to announce that the report was UNTRUE."

We are desired by a valuable Correspondent, well informed on the subject, to correct two errors of some magnitude in the statements relative to the late Mr. Carter; the one, at pages 275, 276, in the extract from "The New Monthly Magazine," the other at page 382 in the account of the Sale.In the former it is stated that "he had purchased an annuity for his own life, of four hundred pounds, and did not live to receive the first quarter;" this was not the fact, since the annuity he purchased, and of which he did not live to receive any payment, was for only 2132. -Again, the produce of Mr. Carter's Collection of Drawings, &c. including what was bought in, was not 16951. 3s. but 15271. 3s. 6d. from which some deductions have been since made.

BIOGRAPHICUS says, "The Writer in p. 204. is mistaken as to the Hardwicke Peerage. The title of Earl of Hardwicke is derived from Hardwicke, in Gloucestershire. In the Biography the writer omits Jeremy Taylor, Bishop of Down and Connor, who was a native of Cambridge. It is certain that Bishop Tounson was a native of Cambridge?"

The Rev. GEOrge Travis, M. A. Archdeacon and Prebendary of Chester, stated in p. 328. to have been buried in the Cathedral of Chester, was buried at Hampstead in Middlesex, March 6, 1797, as appears by the register of burials. See Park's History of Hampstead, p. 344.

AN OLD RESIDENT wishes to ascertain whether the Rock Pigeon of India has ever been noticed by Ornithologists. It is called in Hindoostany, (or rather perhaps, Deckny,) Byte Teetui, or the Sitting Partridge; and, in the Tamul language, Kyloo Purraw, or the Rock Pigeon, which appellation has been, he thinks, injudiciously adopted by Europeans, as the bird in question bears a much stronger resemblance, both in form and feather, to the Partridge, than to the Pigeon. It is, like both of these, gregarious, and there is something in the colour of its variegated plumage which assimilates with the rock, sand, or parched herbage, on which it is usually found; to discover it sitting, therefore, requires a very acute sight.

A SUPPLEMENTAL NUMBER (Completing the First Part of our Volume for the present year) will be published on the 31st of July.

For JUNE, 1818.

MISCELLANEOUS CORRESPONDENCE.

Mr. URBAN, King's Lynn, May 30. As S a suitable companion to the pathetic lamentation of Lord Orford, on the removal of the splendid collection of his father's Pictures from this neighbourhood (printed in your last volume, ii. 339); permit me to recommend to you the following description by the same Noble Writer, transcribed from the recent publication of his Correspondence with the truly amiable Mrs. Montague.

Yours, &c. AN OLD WHIG.

66 Houghton, March 25, 1761. "Here I am at Houghton! and alone! In this spot, where (except two hours last month) I have not been for sixteen years! Think, what a crowd of reflections! No, Gray and forty Church-yards could not furnish so many; nay, I know one must feel them with greater indifference than I feel I possess to put them into verse. Here I am, probably for the last time of my life, though not for the last time. Every clock that strikes tells me I am an hour nearer to yonder Church-that Church into which I have not the courage to enter, where lies the mother on whom I doated, and who doated on me! There are the two rival mistresses of Houghton, neither of whom ever wished to enjoy it! There too lies he who founded its greatness, to contribute to whose fall Europe was embroiled. There he sleeps in quiet and dignity, while his friend and his foe, rather his false ally and his real enemy, are exhausting the dregs of their pitiful lives in squabbles and pamphlets.

"The surprize the Pictures gave me is again renewed: accustomed for many years to see nothing but wretched daubs and varnished copies at auctions, I look at these as enchantment. My own description of them seems poor; but shall I tell you truly, the majesty of Italian ideas sinks before the warm NATURE of Flemish colouring. Alas! don't I grow old? My young imagination was fired

with GUIDO's ideas! Does great youth feel with poetic limbs, as well as see with poetic eyes? In one respect I am very young, 1 cannot satiate myself with looking: an incident contributed to make me feel this more strongly. A party arrived, just as I did, to see the

house, a man and three women in riding apartments. I could not hurry before dresses, and they rode post through the them fast enough; they were not so long in seeing, for the first time, as I

could have been in one room to examine what I knew by heart. I remember formerly being diverted with those see-ers; they come, ask what such a room is called in which Sir Robert lay, write it down, admire a lobster or a cabbage in a market-piece, dispute whether the last room was green or purple, and then hurry to the Inn for fear the fish should be over-dressed. How different my sensations! Not a picture here but recalls a history; not one but I remember in Downing-street or Chelsea, where Queens and crowds admired them, though seeing them as little as those travellers!

"When I had drunk tea, I strolled into the garden: they told me it was now called 'the pleasure-ground.' What a dissonant idea of pleasure! Those groves, those alleys, where I have passed so many charming moments, are now stripped up or overgrown many fond paths I could not unravel, though with a very exact clue in my memory. I met two gamekeepers and a thousand hares ! In the days when all my soul was tuned to pleasure and vivacity (and you will think, perhaps, it is far from being out of tune yet), I hated Houghton and its solitude. Yet I loved this garden-as now, with many regrets, I love Houghton-Houghton, I know not what to call it, a monument of grandeur or ruin. How I wished this evening for Lord Bute: how I could preach to him! For myself, I don't want to be preached to. The servants wanted to lay me in the great apartment: what! to make me pass
