nd, believes that Shakspeare "has no allusion in the present instance, except to the beauty of Apollo, and its immediate opposite, the deformity of a satyr." Hyperion or Apollo is represented in all the ancient statues as exquisitely beautiful, the satyrs hideously ugly.] _Sir Hugh Myddelton._--Where was Sir Hugh Myddleton buried? and has a monument been erected to his memory? I have searched several encyclopaedias and other works, but they make no mention of his place of sepulture. Hughson, I think, states it to be St. Matthew's, Friday Street; but I believe this is not correct. J. O. W. [There is a statue of Sir Hugh Myddelton, by Carew, in the New Royal Exchange. See Cunningham's _Handbook of London_, from which work we learn (p. 327.) that "the register of St. Matthew's, Friday Street, abounds in entries relating to the family of Sir Hugh Myddleton." Cunningham does not mention his burial-place; but in the pedigree of the family given in Lewis's _History of Islington_, it is stated that he was buried in the churchyard of St. Matthew, London.] _Sangarede._--The expression "sangarede," or "sangared," occurs in two ancient wills, one dated 1504, in which the testator bequeathed-- "To the sepulkyr lyght vi hyves of beene to pray ffor me and my wyffe in y^e comon _sangered_."--_Lib. Fuller_, f. 70. In the other, dated 1515, this passage occurs: "I wyll y^t Ione my wyff here a yeere daye for me yeerly terme of her lyfe in the church of Mendlshm, and after here decesse y^e towne of Mendelyshm here a _sangarede_ for me and my wyfe in the church of Mendlshm perpetually." I should be much obliged if you or one of your correspondents could furnish me with an intimation of the meaning of the term. LAICUS. [Sangared, _i. e._ the chantry, or chanting, from the Saxon _sangere_, a singer.] _Salubrity of Hallsal, near Ormskirk, Lancashire._--Between the 19th of February and the 14th of {496} May, 1800, ten persons died in this parish whose ages, as recorded on their tombs in the order of their departure, were 74, 84, 37, 70, 84, 70, 72, 62, 80, 90. This year must have been a fatal one to old people. Can any of the correspondents of "N. & Q." tell anything about the season? W. J. Bootle. [The beginning of the year 1800 was unusually severe; in February, ice covered the ground so completely, that people skaited through
