_Medal given to Howard._--Hepworth Dixon, in his _Life of Howard_, mentions a Russian General Bulgarhow, who was presented by his countrymen with a gold medal, as "one who had deserved well of his country." The General's reply stated that _his_ services to mankind reached his own country only; but there _was_ a man whose extraordinary philanthropy took in all the world,--who had already, with infinite toil and peril, extended his humanity to all nations,--and who was therefore alone worthy of such a distinction; to him, his master in benevolence, he should send the medal! And he did so. Can any of your readers inform me who now possesses this medal, and where it is to be found? W. A. _Withers' Devil at Sarum_.--Where is Withers' _Devil at Sarum_, mentioned in Hudibras, to be met with? It is not in any of his collected works that I have seen. JAMES WAYLEN. _Election of a Pope._--I have read somewhere that some cardinals assembled in a water-closet in order to elect a pope. Can any of your readers refer me to any book where such a fact is mentioned? T. _Battle in Wiltshire_.--A pamphlet dated (in MS.) Dec. 12. 1642, describes an engagement as taking place in Wiltshire between Rupert and Skippon. If this be so, how comes it to pass that not only the general histories are silent as to the event, but that even the newspapers omit it? We know that Rupert was at the sack of Cirencester, in February, 1642-3; and Cirencester is on the borders of Wiltshire: but is there any authority for the first-mentioned visit to this county, during the period from the affair at Brentford to the taking of Cirencester? JAMES WAYLEN. _Colonel Fell_.--Can you inform me who are the representatives or descendants of Lieut.-Colonel Robert Edward Fell, of St. Martin's in the Fields, London, where he was living in the year 1770? He was the great-grandson of Thomas Fell, of Swarthmore Hall, co. Lancaster, Esq., Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster during the Commonwealth, whose widow married George Fox, founder of the Quakers. DE H. _Tennyson's "In Memoriam."_--Perhaps some of your readers may be able to explain the reference in the following verse, the first in this beautiful series of poems: "I held it truth, with him who sings To one clear harp in divers tones, That men may rise on stepping-stones Of their dead selves to higher things." The following stanza, also in the poem numbered 87., much needs interpretation: "Or cooled within the glooming wave,-- And last, returning from afar, _Before the crimson-circled star_ _Had fallen into her father's grave._" W. B. H. Manchester.
