NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS.
" J. F. O'D.»— The letter on St. Patrick is declined with thanks. We deem it advisable to cloie tail lubject of con troversy. We may Just add, that our correspondent will find that ho i» wrong in regard to the celibacy of the clergy. The rule of enforced celibacy was promulgated by the Western church, if we miitake not, nearly two centuries later than the period referred to. "Anti-Hotmtto."— We cannot find space for thiß letter. The case of the forger Greatrex, the Glasgow photographer. Is in no way analogous to that of the Cox fraudi. Our corres pondent would find it difficult to provo bis proposition •• that it was not altogether in his capacity as a lawyer that Cox was enabled to swindle so many persons," but that it was chiefly in hi* "assumed character of a very moral and religious man." If E. J. Cox had confined his fraud to that of counterfeiting religion and morality, we apprehend sooiety would have been little affeoted thereby : certainly few persons would have lost all their money solely on ac count of his hypocrisy.
