TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The petition of Mr. Millard was presentedand noticed, next day, in a very incorrect

manner, in the reports of the proceedings ofthe house, in the political journals.A Student.—The college does not. At

Paris, on very much lower terms than inLondon.An Inquirer.—Yes; the absence is not

evidence, &c.Civis.—Questions of paternity rest with

the mother ; but as nine months’and twenty-one days had elapsed on the 30th of March,we see not the ground of doubt in the pre-sent case.

A. B. probably returns too soon after theperiod that he names to the place from whichhe came. A longer interval of absence

might be observed with advantage after eachperiod.

Dr. Fraser.—Dr. Alexander’s paper shallbe published in an early number.

Mr. Tamplin’s communication reached us; too late for insertion this week.. Mr. Dendy requests us to alter the wordhyperasthenia occurring in his paper, p. 84-85, to hyperœstheria.L E, C.
