_Passage from Burke_ (Vol. ii., p. 359.).--Q.(2) will find the passage he refers to in Prior's _Life of Burke_, vol. i. p. 39. It is extracted from a letter addressed by Burke to his old schoolfellow Matthew Smith, describing his first impressions on viewing Westminster Abbey, and other objects in the metropolis. Mr. Prior deserves our best thanks for giving us a letter so deeply interesting, and so characteristic of the gifted writer, then barely of age. I.H.M. Bath. _Nicholas Assheton's Journal_ (Vol. ii., pp. 331-2.).--If T.T. WILKINSON will turn to pp. 45, 6, 7, of this very amusing journal, published by the Chetham Society (vol. xiv., 1848), he will find some account of the Revels introduced before James the First at Hoghton Tower, in the copious notes of the editor, the Rev. F.R. Raines, M.A., F.S.A., elucidating the origin and history of these "coarse and indecorous" dances--the _Huckler_, _Tom Bedlo_, and the _Cowp Justice of Peace_. J.G. Manchester. _Scotch Prisoners_, 1651 (Vol. ii., pp. 297. 350.).--Heath's _Chronicle_ (p. 301. edit. 1676) briefly notices these unhappy men, "driven like a herd of swine, through Westminster to Tuthill Fields, and there _sold_ to several merchants, and sent in to the Barbadoes." The most graphic account, however, is given in _Another Victory in Lancashire_, &c., 4to. 1651, from which the parts possessing _local_ interest were extracted by me in the _Civil War Tracts of Lancashire_, printed by the Chetham Society, with references to the _other matters_ noticed, namely, Cromwell's entry into London, and the arrival of the four thousand "_Scots, Highlands, or Redshanks_." These lay on Hampstead Heath, and were thence guarded through Highgate, and behind Islington to Kingsland and Mile End Green, receiving charity as they went, and having "a cart load or two of biskett behind them." Thence they proceeded by Aldgate, through Cheapside, Fleetstreet, and the Strand, and on through Westminster. "Many of them brought their wives and berns in with them, yet were many of our scotified citizens so pitifull unto them, that as they passed through the city, they made them, though prisoners at mercy, masters of more money and good white bread than some of them ever see in their lives. They marched this night [Saturday, Sept. 13.] into Tuttle Fields. Some Irishmen are among them, but most of them are habited after that fashion." The contemporary journals in the British Museum would probably state some epidemic which may have caused the mortality that followed. GEO. ORMEROD Sedbury Park, Clepstow. _Long Friday_ (Vol. ii., p. 323.).--T.E.L.L. is not correct in his supposition that "Long Friday" is the same as "Great Friday". In Danish, Good Friday is Langfredag; in Swedish, Längfredag. I have always understood the epithet had reference to the length of the services. COLL. ROYAL SOC.
