                    ANSWERS TO

CORRESPONDENTS, &c.
 
COMMUNICATIONS have been received this month from Rev. Messrs. J. Blackburne-J. Turner-G. Ewing-W. Scott-J. Ryley-T. Durant-M. Anderson- Z. Hathaway- J. Whitridge.
Also from A. Allan- S. Lawson-A.-G.-Amsuodes-P.H.
We feel ourselves much obliged by Mr.J.B.Williams's letter, and are happy that the business to which he refers is in such good hands. We cannot help expressing our gratitude at his approval of our labours;-laudari a laudote viro is a boon worth accepting. 
Gaius may be assured that we never intentionally neglect our correspondents. We are sorry to say that his communication has not reached us.
Mr. Fisher has our best thanks for the autograph letters of Dr. Doddridge. They shall be inserted, and returned to any address that Mr, F. may point out.
A. in our next. We shall be happy to hear from him again.
We are much indebted to Lector for his offer ; but as the insertion of the tendered article would probably be at variance with our principle of strict neutrality on such points, we must reluctantly decline it. We thank our highly respected correspondent J. A. for his good wishes, and take this opportunity of suggesting, that an occasional article of his own for our original department would both gratify and serve us.
We have received, too late in the month for insertion or abstract, a circular from the Committee for  the Relief of the distressed Irish. We are sorry for this contretemps, as we should have felt a melancholy gratification in urging the duty of PROMPT and EFFECTUAL AID. The letters from Ireland, inserted in this communication, contain details of agonizing distress which would melt a heart of stone, and loose the purse-strings of avarice itself. "If thousands, " says our correspondent, "are not sent to Mayo and Galway, WHOLE POPULATIONS MUST DIE."
(To the Editors) - Gentlemen, If your querist K. (Christ. Inst. for March, p. 136,) had consulted Griesbach, he would have perceived, in a note, the reason of Wiclif's saying, " For the tribune dredde." & c. "Timuite nim, ne forte raperent eum Judæi, et occiderent, et ipse postea calumniam sustineret, tanquam accepturus pecunuam.  Vulg. ( non demidov. tol.) Syr. p cum ast. item Cassiod. Idem habet Arm. post diamowowoi, et pergit deinceps: [indecipherable] . though Wiclif was learned, the Vulgate would carry the authority almost of an original eveu with him. Your's T.D.
