names accidental? and how did either of them come to be called
the "Golden City?"

_Pimlico_.--In Aubrey's _Surrey_, he mentions that he went to
a _Pimlico_ Garden, somewhere on Bankside. Can any of your
correspondents inform me of the derivation of the word "Pimlico,"
and why that portion of land now built on near to Buckingham House,
through which the road now runs to Chelsea, is called Pimlico?

_Zenobia_.--I have read somewhere that Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra, was
of Jewish origin, but am now at a loss to retrace it. Could any of
your correspondents inform me where I have read it?

_Henry Ryder, Bishop of Killaloe_.--"W.D.R." requests information
in reference to the paternity of Henry Ryder, D.D., who was born in
Paris, and consecrated Bishop of Killaloe in 1692.

_Belvoir Castle._--In the _Harleian Miscellany_, vol. iv. p. 527., is
a Pindaric Ode upon Belvoir Castle, which Mr. Nichols reprinted in his
_History of the Hundred of Framland._ Can any of your readers inform
me who was the author of this very singular production?

T.R. Potter.

_St. Winifreda._--Can any of your readers refer me to any history or
recent discoveries relative to St. Winifreda?

_Savile, Marquis of Halifax._--It is stated in Tyers's _Political
Conferences_ (1781), that a Diary of his was supposed to be among the
Duke of Shrewsbury's MSS.; and when Mr. Tyers wrote, in the hands of
Dr. Robertson. Can any of your readers give information about this
Diary?

_Salt at Montem._--Will you allow me, as an old Etonian, to ask the
derivation of "salt," as it used to be applied to the money collected
at Eton Montem for the Captain of the Colleges? Towards investigating
the subject, I can only get as far as _Salt_ Hill, near Slough, where
there was a mount, on which, if I remember rightly, the Captain waved
a flag on Montem day. A brief account of the origin of Montem would be
interesting; and it is especially worth noting now that the pageant is
suppressed.

_Ludlow's Memoirs._--"C." is anxious to learn if the manuscript of
Ludlow's Memoirs is known to exist, or to receive any information as
to where it might probably be found.

Ludlow died at Vevay, in Switzerland, in 1693, and the Memoirs were
published at Vevay shortly after.

There is no will of Ludlow's in Doctor's Commons.

_Finkle or Finkel._--I should be glad if any
