_Lord North_ (Vol. vii., p. 317. Vol. viii., p. 184.).--Is M. E. of Philadelphia laughing at us, when he refers us to a _woodcut_ in some American pictorial publication on the American Revolution for a true portraiture of the figure and features of King George III.; different, I presume, from that which I gave you. His woodcut, he says, is taken "from an English engraving;" he does not tell us who either painter or engraver was--but no matter. We have hundreds of portraits by the best hands which confirm my description, which moreover was the result of personal observation: for, from the twentieth to the thirtieth years of my life, I had frequent and close opportunities of approaching his Majesty. I cannot but express my surprise that "N. & Q." should have given insertion to anything so absurd--to use the gentlest term--as M. E.'s appeal to his "woodcut." C. _Singing Psalms and Politics_ (Vol. viii., p. 56.).--One instance of the misapplication of psalmody must suggest itself at once to the readers of "N. & Q.," I mean the melancholy episode in the history of the Martyr King, thus related by Hume: "Another preacher, after reproaching him to his face with his misgovernment, ordered this Psalm to be sung,-- 'Why dost thou, tyrant, boast thyself, Thy wicked deeds to praise?' The king stood up, and called for that Psalm which begins with these words,-- 'Have mercy, Lord, on me, I pray; For men would me devour.' The good-natured audience, in pity to fallen majesty, showed for once greater deference to the king than to the minister, and sung the psalm which the former had called for."--_Hume's History of England_, ch. 58. W. FRASER. Tor-Mohun. _Dimidiation by Impalement_ (Vol. vii., p. 630.).--Your correspondent D. P. concludes his notice on this subject by doubting if any instance of "Dimidiation by Impalement" can be found since the time of Henry VIII. If he turn to Anderson's _Diplomata Scotiae_ (p. 164. and 90.), he will find that Mary Queen of Scots bore the arms of France dimidiated with those of Scotland from A.D. 1560 to December 1565. This coat she bore as Queen Dowager of France, from the death of her first husband, the King of France, until her marriage with Darnley. T. H. DE H. "_Inter cuncta micans_," &c. (Vol. vi, p. 413.; Vol. vii., p. 510.).--The following translation is by the Rev. Geo. Greig of Kennington. It preserves the acrostic and mesostic, though not the telestic, form of the original: "In glory rising see the sun, Illustrious orb of day, Enlightening heaven's wide expanse, Expel night's gloom away. So light into the darkest soul, JESUS, Thou dost impart, Uplifting Thy life-giving smiles Upon the deaden'd heart; Sun Thou of Righteousness Divine, Sole King of Saints Thou art." H. T. GRIFFITH.
