POPISH INTOLERANCE. —The Popish Poor-law Guardians
have adopted resolutions which display the religious liberty
which the Church of Rome would give to those opposed
to her, where her influence is in the ascendant. These
lovers of even handed justice resolved at their last meetinz,
that Sisters of Mercy should be admithdlto.the workhouse,

and ~Scripture re:l:tiers excluded! We: have not bean
informed of the reasons which may have. induced them to
come to so extraordinary a conclusion, but we suppose they
did so because they had the power, and, like good sons of
" Mother Church," were anxious to, bring heretics within
its pale, and prevent any already there being led from it.
We await, with some anxiety, the, reply of the Poor law
Commissioners when the minutes are laid before them; for,
either:Ahe chaiplains of the workhouses should be the only
spiritua. instructors of the paupers of th-ir °tan denomi-
nations, or if Sisters of Mercy are admitted the Scripture
readers should have the same. privilege What an outcry
would be raised by the Popish Press if a Protestant Board
of Guardians resolved to admit Scripture readers. and
to exclude Sisters ofMerey. —Belfast NfiVS Letter.

Impoaraler RECISION.—A question of co •siderable mercantile im-
portance, has recently been decided in a ca=e before the Sheriff. Mr.
•Gl. Drake had 'advance i ,8160 14s to Reid sad Saunders, leather mer-
chants, at two different times, receiving from thorn aeknowledg menta
on receipt stamps for the loan of the money. On Reid and Saunders
becoming ba, krupt, the Glasgow trustee on the estate, rejected the
claim of Mr. Drake, on the ground that the vouchers produced are
promissory notes, and being unstamped as promissory notes, are
therefore illegal. Agalost this decision the creditor appealed to the
Sheriff, producing his bank book to show that the money had actually
' been lent to the bankrupts, and on their cashbook being produced, at
his instance, satisfactory evidence of the ad vance.was there obtained.
The Sheriff thereupon reversed the decision of the trustee, and in-
structed him to rank the appellant on the estate. for hie claim, finding
that the trustee'. objection, founded solely on the stamp laws, may
be a good objection to deprive a promissory note of the privileges
which belong to bills of that description as to 'legal diligence; but
-that technic,' objection does not destroy the claim to be ranked
where the debt or loan is proved to have been made bona file. The
appellant was also found entitled to expeuses.--Dundee Courier.
