TO CORRESPONDENTS .

THE BURNS CENTENARY . —AA'e have received several interesting reports from Edinburgh , Glasgow , Dumfries , and other places iu Scotland , ivhich arrived too late for insertion this week .

" JOHN JENTNS . " —A correspondent , who finds it stated in " Lyson ' s Berkshire , " that at the rebuilding of Sfc . George ' s Chapel , AA'indsor , A . D . 1479 , Richard Beauchamp , bishop of Salisbury , was appointed master ofthe works , aucl John Jenyns , the principal mason , received a reward of 66 s . Sd ., he having also as wages £ 12 per annum—states that there is now a family of the name of Jennings living near AA'indsor , whose armorial bearings are , "Argent , a chevron gules between three

plummets ; " and inquires—Can any connection be traced between Jenyns , the master mason of the chapel , and the family now existing ? AA ' e find that several families of the name of Jennins or Jennyns bear the same arms in Cheshire , Shropshire , Staffordshire , and Yorkshire ; ancl a native of the latter county having these arms , was Lord Mayor of London in 1508 . There is also Jennings of Milford , Hants , who has in addition a crest , a demigriffin proper , holding in the

beak a plummet . Our heraldic authorities mention no family of the name in Berkshire . Burke , however , records , that sometime in the seventeenth century , Mary Holbech married Richard Jennings , Esq ., of Long AA'ittenham , Berks . There appears during the last century a family of the name , which hold the manors of Coley , AA'hitley , ancl Suthampsted-Banuister . There was also a lady of the name who owned the great tithes of Harwell , and founded iu 1715 alms houses for six poor widows in that parish . From the rolls of chancery , it appears that in four years there was expended on St . George ' s Chapel the sum of £ 6 , 572 12 s . 9 d . ; ancl that in 1483 Henry Jenyns , chief mason , hacl a like reward of 66 s . Sd .

" INVICTA . "—If a gentleman wore initiated into the Order without the members of the Lodge haviug received seven clays' notice of tho name and other particulars of the candidate , as required by the Book of Constitutions , the parties offending would , on the matter being brought under the notice of the Board of General Purposes , be liable to suspension , or other punishment . The gentleman so initiated ( as he might be in ignorance ) would remain a Mason , but the Grand Secretary , if tbe circumstances were known to him , would not be justified in issuing him a certificate , without instructions from the Grand Master .

" J . AA' . "—A dispensation cannot be granted to allow the conferring of degree at a less period than twenty-eight clays from each other . " P . M ., Pnovn * CE oi * SoMEiiSET . " -AA ' e clo not consider thatanygood can be attained by continuing the correspondence with regard to the appointment of Bro . Babbage as Prov . Grand Secretary . A protest has boon entered against it , ancl that should be sufficient .
