As is further illustrated by the celebrated Mr. Jones, of Welwyn, who calls him "a very ingenious person." "At the public Commencement of 1713," he says, "Dr. Greene (Master of Bene't College, and afterwards Bishop of Ely) being then Vice-Chancellor, Mr. Long was pitched upon for the tripos performance: it was witty and humorous, and has passed through divers editions. Some who remembered the delivery of it, told me, that in addressing the Vice-Chancellor (whom the University wags usually styled _Miss Greene_,) the tripos-orator, being a native of Norfolk, and assuming the Norfolk dialect, instead of saying DominE Vice-CancellariE, did very audibly pronounce the words thus,--DominA Vice-CancellariA; which occasioned a general smile in that great auditory." I could recollect several other INGENIOUS REPARTEES Of his, if there were occasion, adds Mr. Jones: but his friend, Mr. Bonfoy, of Ripon, told me this little incident:--that he, and Dr. Long walking together in Cambridge, in a dusky evening, and coming to a short _post_ fixed in the pavement, which Mr. B., in the midst of chat and inattention, took to be a boy standing in his way, he said in a hurry, "Get out of my way, boy." "That boy, sir," said the Doctor, very calmly and slily, "is a _post boy, who turns off his way for nobody_." * * * * * CELEBRATED ALL OVER GERMANY. George the Second is said, like his father, to have had a strong predilection for his continental dominions, of which his ministers did not fail, occasionally, to take advantage. A residentiary of St. Paul's cathedral happening to fall vacant, Lord Granville was anxious to secure it for the learned translator of Demosthenes, Dr. John Taylor, fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. The King started some scruples at first, but his Lordship carried his point easily, on assuring his Majesty, which was the fact, that "the Doctor's learning was _celebrated all over Germany_." * * * * * REBUSES AT OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE. * * * * * BECKINGTON. The learned prelate, at whose expense the rector's lodgings were built at Lincoln College, Oxford, is commemorated by his rebus, a _beacon_ and a _tun_, which may still be traced on the walls. ALCOCK, Founder of Jesus College, Cambridge, and Bishop of Ely, either _rebused_ himself, or was _rebused_ by others, in almost every conspicuous part of his College, by a _cock perched upon a globe_. On one window is a cock with a label from its mouth, bearing the inscription, [Greek: Egô eimi alektôr]: to which another opposite bravely crows, says Cole, [Greek: Ontôs kai egô]: "I am a cock!" the one doth cry: And t'other answers--"So am I." There is a plate of him at the head of his celebrated Sermon, printed by Pynson, in 1498, with a cock at each side, and another on the first page. The subject of the discourse is the crowing of the cock when Peter denied Christ. EGLESFIELD,
