TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



F. W. C.'s communication, Dublin, has been unavoidably leftover; 

 also, that of u Vitator." The reply to "May-thorn" we will not pub- 

 lish ; let him go ahead, slime and all. Dr. Warder, of the " Western 

 Review," says, "We set out wilh the determination to fight with no 

 one." We now endorse it ; ours is not a warlike occupation. "J.B." 

 enquires who are our committee. We have none now ; we did not 

 feel disposed to have them attacked, so we disbanded them, and take 

 all the responsibility of management — but they work harder now for 

 us than before. 



We thank "S. W. M.," Columbia, for his list of subscribers; also, 

 Wm. Saunders, and John Graham. Col. O'Brien has done well, in u 

 Mass. Swell it up now, and we shall do our best. J£j
