_Aldiborontiphoscophornio_ (Vol. vii., p. 40.).--This euphonious and formidable name will be found in _The Most Tragical Tragedy that ever was Tragidized by any Company of Tragedians_, viz., _Chrononhotonthologos_, written by "Honest merry Harry Carey," who wrote also _The Dragon of Wantley_, a burlesque opera (founded on the old ballad of that name), _The Dragoness_ (a sequel to _The Dragon_), &c. &c. While the public were applauding his dramatic drolleries and beautiful ballads (of which the most beautiful is "Sally in our Alley"), their unhappy author, in a fit of despondency, destroyed himself at his lodgings in Warner Street, Clerkenwell. There is an engraving by Faber, in 1729, of Harry Carey, from a painting by Worsdale (the celebrated Jemmy!); which is rare. GEORGE DANIEL. [We are indebted to several other correspondents for replies to the Query of F. R. S.] {96} _Statue of St Peter at Rome_ (Vol. vi., p. 604.).--This well-known bronze statue is falsely stated to be a Jupiter converted. It is very far from being true, though popularly it passes as truth, that the statue in question is the ancient statue of Jupiter Capitolinus, with certain alterations. Another commonly-received opinion regarding this statue is, that it was cast for a St. Peter, _but of the metal of the statue of Jupiter Capitolinus_. But this can scarcely be true, for Martial informs us that in his own time the statue of the Capitoline Jupiter was not of bronze but of _gold_. "Scriptus et æterno nunc primum Jupiter _auro_." Lib. xi. Ep. iv. Undoubtedly the statue was cast for a St. Peter. It was cast in the time of St. Leo the Great (440-461), and belonged to the ancient church of St. Peter's. St. Peter has the nimbus on his head; the first two fingers of the right hand are raised in the act of benediction; the left hand holds the keys, and the right foot projects from the pedestal. The statue is seated on a pontifical chair of white marble. CEYREP. _Old Silver Ornament_ (Vol. vi., p. 602.).--This ornament is very probably what your correspondent infers it is,--a portion of some military accoutrement: if so, it may have appertained to some Scotch regiment. It represents precisely the badge worn by the baronets of Nova Scotia, the device upon which was the saltier of St. Andrew, with the royal arms of Scotland on an escutcheon in the centre; the whole surrounded by the motto, and ensigned with the royal crown. The insignia of the British orders of knighthood are frequently represented in the ornaments upon the military accoutrements of the present day. EBOR.
