POPE'S ODE : " DESCEND YE NINE."
(1 st S. xi. 360.)
MR. BOLTON CORNET has shown that this ode, as altered by Pope for Dr. Greene, was not printed for the first time in Sir John Hawkins's History of Music, as had hitherto been supposed. The copy quoted by MR. CORNEY was probably printed for use at the first performance of the ode (as is still customary in the performance of musical exercises at our universities), and afterwards stitched up with the pamphlet in question. But MR. CORNEY was not aware of an intermediate edition, between the years 1730 and 1778. It forms the sixth article in a curious little volume in my library, the title and contents of which I transcribe below. I may add that Pope's ode corresponds in every particular with the version given by your learned correspondent.

Bristol Tolzey : Dr. Beddoes (2 nd S. i. 133. 202.)
In reply to your correspondent, who seeks for
information concerning the site of the Tolzey at
Bristol, I have been able to collect the following
memoranda, which perhaps will prove acceptable.
Seyer, in his Charters, Aug. 8, 47 Edw. III.,
1373 (p. 50.), speaking of the Tolzey Court, held
before Steward, says : '
" Hence the Tohlseld, or, as it was afterwards written, Tolsey, signified at first the payment of toll, and then the place or house where such payment was made."
Evans (1503) says, Robert Rivart, the town clerk, called at the Counter, afterwards the Thol- sel or Tolzey.
Evans, (1550). The new Tolzey was built; this must be understood as rebuilt.
Evans, (1610). The new work over against All Saints' Church at the Tolzey was built.
Evans, (1616). The Tolzey was enlightened, and the leads made higher, and the walks longer.
In 1740, when the present Exchange was built, the Tolzey was removed.
In 1782 (vide Evans), he says that the old colonnade, called the Tolzey, erected in 1606, was taken down.
In Millard's Map is a view of the Tolzey.
In a work written by William Wyrcestre, in the middle centuries, and edited by the Rev. Jas. Dallaway, 1834, speaking of the Tolzey, he says:
" Officium domus conciliarii tarn majoris, vice comitis, ballivorum villa ac conciliariorum principalium eorundem, tarn de principalibus mercatoribus cum expediens fuerit, est scitum prope le Tolsylle Court, est proxime sequens spa- cium apertum de stacione super le Tolsylle ex opposito cancellae ecclesiae Omnium Sanctorum, casu cameris de- super honestissime prasparatis pro conciliariis guberna- torum dictaj villa? annexis in parte meridionali ecclesia? sancti Adoeni."
The ancient site of the Tolzey had, like the present, one front opposite the west door of Christchurcb, and the other opposite the chancel of All Saints (vide Dallaway).
I trust the a,bove information may be accept- able ; and I now have great pleasure in answering another Query concerning the final resting-place of Dr. Beddoes of Bristol. He is buried in the old Clifton burial-ground below Tottenham Place, Clifton. His son was buried where he died, at Basle in Switzerland. J. W. G. GUTCH.
Thomas Beddoes (2 nd S. i. 151.) The late Dr. Beddoes, who for some years resided at Clifton, ' Bristol, died at Rodney Place, and was buried in the Clifton burial-ground; there is a stone cover- ing the vault, on which is inscribed his name and the date of his death. J. K. R. W.
Royal Regiment of Artillery (2 nd S. i. 128.) Your correspondent E. S. TAYLOR, in quoting Capt. Grose, says : " The first corps armed with them (bayonets) being the regiment of Fusiliers, raised that year (1671), and since called the Royal Regiment of Artillery." What authority is there for the assertion that the Royal Regiment of Ar-
