_"Genealogies of the Mordaunt Family," by the Earl of Peterborough_ (Vol. vi., p. 553.).--Bridges, in his _History of Northamptonshire_, vol. ii. p. 252., states that twenty-four copies of the work were printed. There is a large paper copy of the work, in the library at Drayton House, the former seat of the Mordaunts, now the property of W.B. Stopford, Esq. J. B. _Niágara, or Niagára?_ (Vol. vi., p. 555.).--An enthusiastic person, of the name of Pemberton (who had spent much time at the Falls, and was so enthusiastic in his admiration of them that he protested he _could not_ keep away from them, and went back and died there), informed me that the proper name was _Ni-ágara_ or _aghera_,--two Indian words signifying "Hark to the thunder." J. G. _Maudlin_ (Vol. vi., p. 552.).--Your Massachusetts correspondent comes a long way for information which he might surely have obtained on his own side of the Atlantic. Dr. Johnson says, "_Maudlin_ is the corrupt appellation of _Magdalen_, who is drawn by painters with swollen eyes and disordered look." And do we not know that Magdalene College is always called _Maudlin_, and that _Madeleine_ is the French orthography? very closely resembling our vernacular pronunciation? J. G. _Spiritual Persons employed in Lay Offices_ (Vol. vi., pp. 376. 567.).--Your correspondents W. and E. H. A. seem to have overlooked the modern instances of this practice, which the _London Gazette_ has recently recorded, in {51} announcing the appointment of several clergymen as deputy-lieutenants. This is an office which is so far of a military character, that it is supposed to place the holder in the rank of lieutenant-colonel, and certainly entitles him to wear a military uniform. If these members of the "church militant" should be presented at Her Majesty's Court in their new appointment, will they appear in their clerical or military habit? [Omega]. [Phi]. _Passage in Burke_ (Vol. vi., p. 556.).--The reply to QUANDO TANDEM'S Query is given, I imagine, by Burke himself, in a passage which occurs only a few lines after that which has been quoted: "Little did I dream that she should ever be obliged to carry the sharp antidote against disgrace concealed in that bosom." This means, I suppose, that Marie Antoinette carried a dagger, with which, _more Romano_, she would have committed suicide, had her brutal persecutors assaulted her. ALFRED GATTY. _Ensake and Cradock Arms_ (Vol. vi., p. 533.).--In a pedigree of the family of Barnwell, of Cransley in Northamptonshire, now before me, I find emblazoned the arms of Ensake: Paly of six azure and or, on a bend sable three mullets pierced. Cradock: Argent, three boars' heads couped sable armed or. G. A. C.
