_St. Clare._--In the interesting and amusing volume of _Rambles beyond

Railways_, M. W. Wilkie Collins has attributed the church of St. Cleer in

Cornwall, with its Well and ruined Oratory, to St. Clare, the heroic Virgin

of Assisi; but in the elegant and useful _Calendar of the Anglican Church_,

the same church is ascribed to St. Clair, the Martyr of Rouen. My own

impression is, that the latter is correct; but I note the circumstance,

that some of your readers better informed than myself, may be enabled to

answer the Query, which is the right ascription? When Mr. Collins alluded

to the fate of Bishop Hippo, devoured by rats, I presume he means Bishop

Hatto, commemorated in the "Legends of the Rhine."
