SIR,--There has gone the round of the papers a paragraph, stating that though individuals of almost every nation appear as characters in one or other of Shakespeare's Plays, yet there never occurs an Irishman. I do not know whether this has been contradicted or not; but it is capable of contradiction, as a distinguished Prelate proved to me by taking down his volume of Shakespeare, containing the Play of Henry V. There in the 3rd Act, Scene 2nd, Fluellen, the Welchman, holds an animated and very characteristic conversation with Capt. Macmorris, an Irishman. The original can be consulted. The Irish peculiarities are well hit off. So much for the charge of omission which has been brought against our great Bard, I am, Sir, yours, faithfully, C. S. B. MR. WILLIS. QUERIES. SIR,--I shall be greatly obliged if you will permit me to propound the following queries in your "Current Notes:" 1. Is any endeavour being made to complete that vast work, the "Acta Sanctorum," the last volume of which was published at Brussels in 1845? 2. Where can I see a list of the persons on whom it was proposed by Charles the Second to confer the Order of the Royal Oak? 3. Is there any English translation of the "Aurea Legenda" besides the one by Caxton, and has that translation ever been reprinted? E. P. AUTOGRAPHIC BIOGRAPHY. March 6, 1852. SIR,--I have taken some little pains to find out S. S.'s quere ("Current Notes," Feb. p. 15), without further success than to presume (in the absence of a facsimile) that the "Orford" must be the Earl created 1742, there being a "Kendal" title then in existence: extinct 1743. Your correspondent can, without great difficulty, compare it with those mutilated documents, I should say, that have been so frequently dispersed at the various sales from the stock of Messrs. Upcott, Cole & Co., originally in the Exchequer State Paper Office, from whence no doubt it came. Yours, "MAGOG." Mr. WILLIS. MRS. BODDINGTON. 29th March, 1852. SIR--Perhaps some of your readers will kindly afford me some information relative to Mrs. BODDINGTON, authoress of _The Gossip's Week_, _Reminiscences of the Rhine_, _Sketches of the Pyrenees_, and a volume of _Poems_, published by Longman & Co. in 1839? Yours obediently, W.
