_Convocation and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel_ (Vol. viii., p. 100.).--The Archdeacon of Stafford, in his last visitation charge, at Stafford, May 23, 1854, said of Convocation: "He was not aware that the two venerable societies, The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, and The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, owed their existence to it." Atterbury, writing to Bishop Trelawny, March 15, 1700-1, says: "We appointed another committee, for considering the methods of Propagating the Christian Religion in Foreign Parts, who sat the first time this afternoon in the Chapter House of St. Paul's"--Atterbury's _Correspondence_, vol. i. p. 88. Though the venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts does not owe, strictly speaking, its _existence_ to Convocation, yet it certainly is indebted to it, both for the general outline of its operations, and also for its name. WM. FRASER, B.C.L. _Cassie_ (Vol. ix., p. 396.).--With regard to W. T. M. about _cassie_, he will find an approximation to that word as used for _causeway_, in the old editions of Ludlow's _Memoirs_, and others, where causeway is always spelt _causey_. A. (1) _"Three cats sat," &c._ (Vol. ix., p.173.).--I am delighted to say that a long course of laborious research among the antiquities of nurserydom have enabled me to supply JULIA R. BOCKETT (I dare not venture on any prefix to the name, for fear of doing grievous wrong in my ignorance of the lady's civil status) with the missing canto the poem her ancient friend is so desirous of completing. It will be seen to convey a charming lesson of amiable sociality--admirably adapted _d'ailleurs_ to the pages of a work which seeks to encourage "intercommunications." It runs thus: "Said one little cat, To the other little cat, If you don't speak, I must; I must. If you don't speak, I must." JULIA R. BOCKETT will doubtless feel with me, that though the antithesis requires that the "I" should be strongly emphasised in the first case, the sentiment expressed imperatively demands an intense force to be given to the "must" in the second repetition.
