19. _Vox Populi._--I have a copper coin in my cabinet (halfpenny size) which I shall be glad to have explained. The obverse has a bust laureate in profile to the left, with the letter "P." close to the nose. The bust appears to be of some popular Irish leader in 1760, as it is not like either to George II.'s or George III.'s busts; and the legend "Voce Populi." Reverse: The figure of Hibernia seated, with an olive branch in her right hand, and a spear in her left; also a harp at her side. Legend: "Hibernia." Exergue, "1760." J. N. C. 20. _Meaning of Whig and Tory._--May I beg sufficient space in your journal to inquire for the _exact etymology_ of the terms "Whig" and "Tory?" We all know the exact time when these first came into use. We all understand precisely the meaning of the terms "Conservative," "Liberal," "Radical," "Peelite," "Protectionist," all of which, with the exception of Peelite, are equally applicable to things not political; but Whig and Tory can only be used in this one sense. From whence then their derivation? A CLERK OF THE HOUSE. 21. "_Fortune, Infortune, Fort une._"--In the church of Notre Dame de Brou, near the town of Bourg, in the department de l'Ain, the following inscription is engraved on the tomb of Marguerite d'Autriche, the wife of Philibert le Beau, Prince of Savoy:-- "Fortune, Infortune, Fort une." In this epitaph, the first two words are intelligible enough, and allude to certain reverses of fortune which had chequered the life of the princess; but the expression _fort une_ reads somewhat enigmatical, and I shall be obliged to any of your readers who can give the meaning of it. HENRY H. BREEN. St. Lucia, June, 1851. 22. _Unde derivatur Stonehenge._--Antiquaries and topographers generally (Stukeley and Sir R.C. Hoare included) have been hitherto content to consider this word as a compound of _stan_ and _henge_, Anglo-Saxon;--that is, "hanging stone." Now this etymology of the word has always appeared to me very unsatisfactory. The cross stones do not hang; they lie on the uprights, and are kept in their places by mortice holes. An ingenious friend of mine has, by what I consider a happy train of reasoning, arrived at another and a better conclusion. Every one knows that our German ancestors used the word _horse_ adjectively. And we still have it so in use to designate many things as the largest of their kind; as _horse-chestnut_, _horse-daisey_, _horse-mushroom_, _horse-emmet_, &c. &c. _Horsa_ and _hengst_ or _hengist_, are convertible terms or if any difference, the latter word is used for _stallion_. If so, then, is it not reasonable to suppose that the stones of this Druid temple would provoke the largest idea of magnitude, and thence be called Stone-Hengst, or more euphoniously, Stone-henge,--stallion stones?
