In reference to the action of the 26th, Captain Jones observes: "It is not possible to describe the bravery of the army on that day, nearly the whole of the British cavalry were engaged, and gained immortal honour." The Duke of York's address to the army, published on the 28th of April, thus concludes: "His Royal Highness has, at all times, had the highest confidence in the courage of the British troops in general, and he trusts that the cavalry will now be convinced that whenever they attack with the firmness, velocity, and order which they showed on this occasion, no number of the enemy (we have to deal with) can resist them." BIBLIOTHECAR. CHETHAM. _Curious Posthumous Occurrence_ (Vol. viii., p. 5.).--Though the worthy grave-digger's account, reported by A. B. C., may be chargeable with some exaggeration as to the _generality_ of body-turning, and though the decomposing reason assigned may not be true, yet, that many dead human bodies are found with their faces downwards, is nevertheless quite correct. Works are now in progress, at the east end of this metropolis, under my own immediate observation, where this fact has been incontestably verified. How long since, or on what occasion, these remains of mortality were placed there, I know not; but, in the course of excavation required for the foundations, they are frequently met with, and, in many instances, in this strange position. I had come to the conclusion, that, during some raging pestilence (and which may indeed again occur, unless an acceleration takes place in our wounded-snake-like motion in the way of sanitary improvement), I say, it had been my impression, that during some such awful calamity, the anxiety of the uncontaminated to avoid infection had induced them to remove their less fortunate fellow-creatures out of the way with so much haste as actually to bury them alive! and in some convulsive struggle between life and death, they had turned themselves over! R. M. In reply to this Note, I would remark that I have consulted a grave-digger "grown old in the service" here, and he tells me he never remembers a case where, after interment, in process of time the occiput takes the place of the facial bones; but, he says, very frequently the head drops either on one side or the other--a circumstance which any one conversant with the human skeleton and the connexion of the cranium with the vertebræ would deem most natural. BRISTOLIENSIS. _Passage in Job_ (Vol. vii., p. 14.).--This question is answered, as far as it seems possible, by Barnes, in his _Notes on Job_, which MR. EDWIN JONES may easily consult. The fact appears to be that we have no information respecting the passage in question beyond what is furnished by itself. B. H. C.
