NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We have to request the indulgence of several Correspondents for not replying to them this week.

S. G. W. Gibraltar is a corruption of Jebel-Tarik, or the Hill of Tarik; a name derived from the Moorish conqueror who landed there April 30, 711. For the origin of its ancient name, Calpe, we must refer S. G. W. to Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography, where the various presumed etymologies are discussed.

"Percy Anecdotes." Mr. Timbs has requested us to correct a slight error in his communication on this subject (antè, p. 214.). The Percy Anecdotes were completed in forty parts, and not forty-four, as there stated.
