"The Pioneer Metropolitan Association for Promoting the Practice of Decomposing the Dead by the Agency of Fire. W. H. Newman, Hon. Sec., to whom all communications are to be addressed, post paid, at the City of London Mechanics' Institute, Gould Square, Crutched Friars, or at 7. Cleveland Street, Mile End Road. "January, 1850. "ARTHUR TREVELYAN, "Associate." ANON. _Map of Dublin_ (Vol. ix., p. 171.).--Your querist C. H. will be shown with pleasure, at my house, a very ancient map of Dublin, styled "An Exact Copy of a Map of the City and Harbour of Dublin, from a Survey by John Rocque." There is no date to it, but I observe that the street I live in was called "Fleet Alley." JOHN H. POWELL. 15. Westmoreland Street, Dublin. _Pettifogger_ (Vol. vii., p. 354.).--One who "would cast a mist before," and around, his clients. He makes it his constant practice to raise a "petty-fog." "And thus much for this cloud, I cannot say rather than _petty-fog_ of witnesses, with which Episcopal men would cast a mist before us, to deduce their exalted {288} Episcopacy from Apostolick Times."--Milton, of _Prelatical Episcopacy_, Ed. Col. Amst., 1698, vol. i. p. 245. Is not this a more probable origin of the word than the _pettivogueur_ of our etymologists? And MR. KEIGHTLEY will, I am sure, permit me to suggest that it is a derivation at least as obvious and expressive as _pettyfolker_. WILLIAM BEAL. Brooke Vicarage, Norfolk. _Views in London by Canaletto_ (Vol. ix., p. 106.).--In reply to the Query of your correspondent GONDOLA, I beg to say that I have long had the pleasure of possessing one of Canaletto's London views, that of the Thames from the Temple Gardens, in which the hand that painted gondolas and masks may be traced in Thames wherries and grave Templars. I believe there are others in the collections of the Dukes of Buccleugh and Northumberland. EDMUND PHIPPS. Park Lane.
