_"Elementa sex," &c._ (Vol. vii., p. 572.).--The answer to the Latin riddle propounded by your correspondent EFFIGY, seems to be the word _putres_; divided into _utres_, _tres_, _res_, _es_, and the letter _s_. The allusion in _putres_ is to Virgil, _Georgic_, i. 392.; and in _utres_ probably to _Georgic_, ii. 384.: the rest is patent enough. I send this response to save others from the trouble of seeking an answer, and being disappointed at their profitless labours. If I may venture a guess at its author, I should be inclined to ascribe it to some idle schoolboy, or perhaps schoolmaster, who deserved to be whipped for their pains. C. W. B. _"A Diasii 'Salve'," &c._ (Vol. vii., p. 571.).--The deliverance desired in these words is from treachery, similar to that which was exhibited by the fratricide Alfonso Diaz toward his brother Juan. (Vid. Senarclaei _Historiam veram_, 1546; _Actiones et Monimenta Martyrum_, foll. 126-139. [Genevae], 1560: _Histoire des Martyrs_, foll. 161-168., ed. 1597; M^cCrie's _Reformation in Spain_, pp. 181-188., Edinb. 1829.) The "A Gallorum 'Venite,'" probably refers to the singing of the "Venite, exultemus Domino," on the occasion of the massacre of St. Bartholomew. R. G. _Meaning of "Claret"_ (Vol. vii., pp. 237. 511.).--Old Bartholomew Glanville, the venerable Franciscan, gives a recipe for claret in his treatise _De Proprietatibus Rerum_, Argent., 1485., lib. xix. cap. 56., which proves it to be of older date than is generally supposed: "Claretum ex vino et melle et speciebus aromaticis est confectum ... Unde a vino contrahit fortitudinem et acumen, a speciebus autem retinet aromaticitatem et odorem, sed a melle dulcedinem mutuat et saporem." H. C. K. ---- Rectory, Hereford. "_The Temple of Truth_" (Vol. vii., p. 549.).--The author of this work, according to Dr. Watt, was the Rev. C. E. de Coetlogon, rector of Godstone, Surrey. [Greek: Halieus]. Dublin. _Wellborne Family_ (Vol. vii., p. 259.).--The following is from the _Town and Country Magazine_ for 1772: "_Deaths._--Mr. Richard Wellborne, in Aldersgate Street, descended in a direct male line from the youngest son of Simon Montfort, Earl of Leicester, who flourished in King Henry III.'s time, and married that king's sister." There is now a family of the name of Wellborne residing in Doncaster. W. H. L. _Devonianisms_ (Vol. vii., p. 544.).--While a resident in Devonshire, I frequently met with localisms similar in character to those quoted by J. M. B.; but what at first struck me as most peculiar in common conversation, was the use, or rather abuse, of the little preposition _to_. When inquiring the whereabouts of an individual, Devonians ask one another, "Where is he _to_?" The invariable reply is, "_To_ London," "_To_ Plymouth," &c., as the case may be. The Cheshire clowns, on the other hand, murder the word _at_, in just the same strange and inappropriate manner.
