Earl of Glencairn.—Could you or any of your readers inform me of any particulars concerning the Earl of Glencairn, who, with a sister, is said to have fled from Scotland about 1700, or rather later, and to have concealed himself in Devonshire, where his sister married, 1712, one John Lethbridge, and had issue? Was this sister called Grace? Within late years they were spoken of by the very old inhabitants of Okehampton, Devon, and stories of the coroneted clothes, &c. were current.

Willow Bark in Ague.—I have seen recently some notices of the use of willow bark in ague. Will some kind correspondent inform me and others interested in the subject, where the information is to be found?

"Perturbabantur," &c.—Can any of your readers give the whole of the poem, of which the first two lines are—
"Perturbabantur Constantinopolitani,
Innumerabilibus sollicitudinibus"?
These lines are singularly applicable at the present moment.
I am also desirous of knowing the history of this poem.
