[In the Harleian MS. 4031. fol. 170. is a long and curious pedigree of the Trussells and their intermarriage with the Mainwarings, in the person of Sir William Trussell, Lord of Cubbleston, with Maud, daughter and heiress of Sir Warren Mainwaring. The arms are: Argent a fret gu. bezanté for Trussell. The same arms are found on the window of the church of Warmineham in Cheshire. These would consequently be the arms of Margery, daughter of Roger Trussell. The arms originally were: Argent a cross formée flory gu.; but changed on the marriage of Sir William Trussell of Mershton, co. Northampton, with Rose, daughter and heiress to William Pantolph, Lord of Cubbleston, who bore, Argent a fret gu. bezanté.]
Caves at Settle, Yorkshire.—Being engaged on antiquarian investigations, I have found it necessary to refer to some discoveries made in the caves at Settle in Yorkshire, of which my friends in that county have spoken. Now, I cannot find any printed account. I have referred to all the works on the county antiquities, and particularly to Mr. Phillips's book lately published (which professes to describe local antiquities), but in vain. I cannot find any notice of them. It is very likely some one of your better-informed readers may be able to assist me.

Our correspondent has perhaps consulted the following work:—A Tour to the Caves in the Environs of Ingleborough and Settle, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, 8vo. 1781.]
The Morrow of a Feast.—It appears from the papers, that the presentation of the civic functionaries to the Cursitor Baron at Westminster, took place on Sept. 30. Pray is this the morrow of St. Michael, as commonly supposed? Does not the analogy of "Morrow of All Souls" (certainly the same day as All Souls Day, i.e. Nov. 2) point out that the Morrow of St. Michael is the 29th, i.e. Michaelmas Day. That morrow was anciently equivalent to morning, we may infer from the following passages:
"Upon a morrow tide."—Gower, Conf. Am., b. iii.
"Tho' when appeared the third morrow bright,
Upon the waves," &c.
