Notices to Correspondents.
We are this week compelled to omit our usual Notes On Books. &c.
Dr. Rimbault on Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, and Mr. Lammin's Paper on Grammont, in our next Number.
James Samuels will find full particulars of the legend of The Wandering Jew in Die Sage vom Ewigen Juden, by Grässe, Dresden, 1844.
Thomas Q. Couch is thanked for his Cornish legends. He will, however, find that of the Mole in our Second Vol., p. 225.; and that of the Owl, in the Variorum Shakspeare and other works.
Cabal.—Our Correspondent on the origin of this word is referred to "N. & Q.," Vol. iv., pp. 413. 507.; Vol v., pp. 139, 520., where he will find enough to satisfy him that it was not formed from the initials of the five chief ministers of Charles II.
W. The date of the consecration the old St. Pancras Church has hitherto baffled research. The question was asked in our Second Volume, p. 496. We doubt whether any drawing of the original structure is extant.
The numerous articles on Photography already in type compel us to postpone until next week several other valuable papers.
Errata.—Vol. ix., p. 59., 8th line in translation from Sheridan, for "victâ marte" read "victâ mente;" p. 138., 1st line, for "Erie" read "Erse."

The peculiar advantages of these pianofortes are best described in the following professional testimonial, signed by the majority of the leading musicians of the age:—"We, the undersigned members of the musical profession, having carefully examined the Royal Pianofortes manufactured by MESSRS. D'ALMAINE & CO., have great pleasure in bearing testimony to their merits and capabilities. It appears to us impossible to produce instruments of the same size possessing a richer and finer tone, more elastic touch, or more equal temperament, while the elegance of their construction renders them a handsome ornament for the library, boudoir, or drawing-room.
