MIRACLES.

[TO THE EDITOR OP THE "spitarkron."1 Silt,—Mr. Paige Cox, as quoted in your review of his book in the Spectator of September 9th, says that "we never hear of his [Christ] restoring an amputated limb, or doing anything, like creative work." This is wrong as to fact. We hear of his making the maimed whole, and restoring the ear of the servant of the High-Priest which Peter had cut off ; and the multiplication of the loaves was a creative work, The evi- dence for these miracles is the same as that for those which Mr. Paige Cox accepts. That of the loaves is the only miracle which is narrated in all the four Gospels ; and that of the restoration of the servant's ear is told by Matthew, Luke, and John.—I am, Sir, &a.,
