_Father Blackhal._--In the _Brief Narration of Services done to Three noble Ladies by Gilbert Blackhal_ (Aberdeen, Spalding Club, 1844), the autobiographer states (p. 43.) that, while at Brussels, he provided for his necessities by saying mass "at Notre Dame _de bonne successe_, a chapel of great devotion, so called from a statue of Our Lady, which was brought from Aberdeen to Ostend," &c. It may be interesting to such of your readers as are acquainted with this very amusing volume, to know that the statue is still held in honour. A friend of mine (who had never heard of Blackhal) told me, that being at Brussels on the eve of the Assumption (Aug. 14), 1847, he saw announcements that the _Aberdeen_ image would be carried in procession on the approaching festival. He was obliged, however, to leave Brussels without witnessing the exhibition. As to Blackhal himself, _The Catholic Annual Register_ for the present year (p. 207.) supplies two facts which were not known to his editor--that he was at last principal of the Scots College at Paris, and that he died July 1. 1671. J.C.R. _The Nonjurors_ (Vol. ii., p. 354.).--May I take the liberty of suggesting to MR. YEOWELL that his interesting paper on "The Oratories of the Nonjurors," would have been far more valuable if he had given the authorities for his statements. J.C.R. _Booksellers' Catalogues._--Allow me to suggest the propriety and utility of stating the weight or cost of postage to second-hand and other books. It would be a great convenience to many country book-buyers to know the entire cost, carriage-free, of the volumes they require, but have never seen. ESTE. _Bailie Nicol Jarvie._--Lockhart, in his _Life of Scott_, speaking of the first representation of _Rob Roy_ on the Edinburgh boards, observes-- "The great and unrivalled attraction was the personification of Bailie Jarvie by Charles Mackay, who, being himself a native of Glasgow, entered into the minutest peculiarities of the character with high _gusto_, and gave the west country dialect in its most racy perfection."
