H.M.8. Cumberland. 'THE MORNING STAR.'— In the interesting notes of MK. JOHN (J. FRANCIS on 'The Jubilee of "The Saturday Review"' (ante, p. 403) reference is made to the founding of The Hominy Star on 17 March, 1856. But there would seem to have been an earlier London journal of this name, though I do not find it mentioned in James Grant's ' Newspaper Press,' H. 11. Fox Bourne's ' English Newspapers/or Alexander Andre ws's 'History of British Journalism.' The fol- lowing advertisement appeared in The Observer of Sunday, 27 October, 1805 :— A NEW DAILY PAPER. On Monday, Nov. 11, will be published, at the Office, No. 104, Strand, a New Daily Paper, THE MORNING STAR.—The commencement of the present Continental War, a war which menaces the very existence of the States of Europe, and » general shock to the civilized world, cannot fail to excite the most anxious interest of the British Public. The Proprietors of the MORNING STAR, therefore, come forward with a solemn pledge, tint no labour or expense shall be spared to procure! constant & hitherto unprecedented priority of in- telligence. — After long k arduous effort*, this hu at length been effected by the establishment of i Correspondent at Munich who will follow it' Armies, and an Agent at Hamburgh who will forward the Letters. — The Proprietors of tin MORNINO STAR natter themselves that their un- precedented exertions will meet from the Pnbfe that liberal reception which they are confident tiny deserve. — Orders for this Paper received at ikt Office. 104, Strand ; by the regular Newsmen,*"" Post-Offices in Town and Country. Apparently, however, there was some hitch in the preliminary arrangements, for on 17 November this further advertisement appeared in the same journal : — A NEW DAILY I'APER. THE MORNING STAR.— The Proprietors hi« to announce, that their arrangements being *> length completed, To-morrow will be Publish*!. THE MOKXIXO STAR. — Prospectus of the vecuta Plan of this Paper maybe had at the Office,!"1 Strand, where Orders and Advertisements "< received ; and of all the Newsmen and Post Oft--- in Town and Country. I should be glad to know something more of the paper referred to. ALFRED F. LAMB'S ESSAY 'My RELATIONS.'— It i; stated in a note to the Temple Classics edition of the ' Essays of Elia' that the lief- Through the green plains of pleasant Hertfordshire with which the essay is concluded, :• taken from a poem by W. Vallans, 'Th Tale of Two Swannes,' quoted in Hearne- edition of Leland's ' Itinerary.' The line of Vallans reads :— The fruitful fields of pleasant Hartfordshire. Now Lamb concludes one of his earliest soc nets with the line as quoted in ' My Relation (using " To " for the first word of the line' and tells Coleridge, in the letter in which the sonnet is given, that the line is copied from Bowles's To the green hamlet on the peaceful plain. It is improbable that Lamb at the *fe °: twenty, when he wrote the sonnet, «* acquainted with the 'Itinerary,' but Bowl*** sonnets were as " familiar in his mouth »' household words." With all deference to Jlf- Craig, who is responsible for the note *bor' alluded to, it seems to me that Bowie*'* lin< also bears a great resemblance to line ; and why should we not accept statement as to the source of his own
