s the English Hart, and the Portuguese names Lopez
and Aguilar are Lupus and Aquila, slightly disguised. Is the origin of
Mark, a very common Jewish name, to be sought in the Celtic _merch_, a
horse?

_The Black Prince._--In Sir S. R. Meyrick's _Inquiry into Ancient Armour_,
vol. ii. p. 18., he quotes Froissart as observing, after his account of the
battle of Poictiers, "Thus did Edward the Black Prince, now doubly dyed
black by the terror of his arms." I have sought in vain for this passage,
or anything resembling it, in Johnes's translation, nor can I find anywhere
this appellation as applied by Froissart to his favourite hero. Can the
passage be an interpolation of Lord Berners?

J. S. WARDEN.

_Maid of Orleans._--Can any one of your correspondents tell who was
D'Israeli's authority for the following?--

"Of the Maid of Orleans I have somewhere read, that a bundle of faggots
was substituted for her, when she was supposed to have been burnt by
the Duke of Bedford."--_Curiosities of Literature_, vol. i. p. 312.

_Fawell Arms and Crest._--Could any correspondent tell me the _correct_
arms and crest of Fawell? In Burke's _General Armory_ they are given: "Or,
a cross moline gu., a chief dig." And in Berry's _Encyclopaedia Heraldica_:
"Sa., a cheveron between three escallop shells argent." In neither work is
a crest registered, and yet I believe there is one belonging to the family.

"_Had I met thee in thy beauty._"--Can you or any of your correspondents
inform me who is the author of the poem commencing, with the above line,
and where it may be found? It is generally supposed to be Lord Byron's, but
cannot be found in any of his published works.

_Portrait of D. P. Tremesin._--Has there ever been any portrait known to
exist of one Dompe Peter Tremesin, who is supposed to have been the
earliest equestrian who performed feats on horseback, and of whom mention
is thus made in the Privy Purse Expenses of King Henry VIII., p. 218.:

"Paied to one Dompue Peter Tremesin, that _dyd ryde two horses at
once_, by waye of rewarde, C corons, _i.e._ 23l. 6s. 8d."

_Edition of "Othello."_--I shall feel much indebted to MESSRS. COLLIER,
SINGER, &c. for information relative to an edition of _Othello_ which was
shown to me in January, 1837, and had previously belonged to J. W. Cole
(Calcraft), Esq., then manager of the Thea
