QUACKERY IN RELlGlON.—Protestant .Asso-
ciations, and Operative Protestant Associations
are again making a display in the Tory Journals.
All men are sensible that these meetings are
quackery and dupery. Those who get them up
seek.to humbug a set of dupes and impose on the
public. There is no heart or truth in them; no
sincerity except in the poor dupes who pay their
money. Two announcements of such meetings
in a Tory Journal remind us of a short passage
in Mr. Carlyle's late work "On Heroes." He
says, " Quackery and dupery do abound in reli-
enl ; above all in the more advanced and decay-
ing stages of religion they have fearfully
abounded ; but quackery wasnever the originating
influence in such things; it was not the health
and life of such things, but their disease, the sure
precursor of their being about to die.- Quackery
gives birth to nothing, gives death to all." The
Church of England, if' this be true, with its
evangelical quackery on the one hand, and its
Puseyite quackery on the other, its High
Churchism and its Low Churehism, its Protes-
tant associations, its pastoral societies, its Church
extension schemes, its demands on the public
purse, its puffery and dupery in every quarter of
the land, must be on the point of death. There
is quackery enough in it to kill a dozen estab-
lishments. " Man every where," says Mr. Car-
lyle, " is the born enemy of lies." As the An-
glican Church, with its sworn to, but not ob-
served, Articles—with its dead formulas and want
of living faith, is one great lie; if Mr. Carlyle
be himself one of those heroes he writes of—one
of those men of insight and sincerity—the poor
Church will soon come to an end. The sooner
the better. It is only a wretched political con-

trivance, usurping the attributes, and mocking
the hallowed emotions of religion.
The British Queen displayed on Sunday last,
as well as on the first Sunday of her. appearance,
a mass of choice and original matter, such as no
Sunday journal ever exhibited. Next Sunday
she will give an interesting biography of tile
Duke of Normandy, which will be followed by
a splendid likeness of the Prince. It will be
some gratification to learn IL,

their favour for a number of years, and nails his

Advertiser.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took unopposed peti-
tions and short causes to-day, the hearing of which occupied
the Court the whole morning.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.

(Sittings in Banco. )
At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. Justice Wight
man took the usual oaths of abjuration and supremacy.

NICHOLSON V. FALL

Sir F. POLLOCK said this was an action brought by the
assignees of a bankrupt to recover the amount of an execution,
on the ground of its being a fraudulenf preference. The case
was tried before Mr. Justice Coleridge, on the sth of February
last, and a verdict was had for the plaintiff, and the Learned
Counsel now moved to set aside the verdict, on the ground of
the admissibility of improper evidence. The defendant was a
relation of the bankrupt, and in order to show the state of the
bankrupt's affairs at the time, which was the most material
point in the case, Counsel for the plaintiffs called the attorney
under the commission, in order that by his evidence he might
contrast the amount of the dividend actually paid with the
amount of the debts proved under the commission. The
Learned Counsel cited several authorities to show that such
evidence was inadmissible,

The Court would confer with the Learned Judge before
whom the trial took place, and then give ita decision.

COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY).

(Sittings in Banco.)
nonGEs V. COOPER.

This was an action of assumpsit brought by the plaintiff, a
linen•draper, against the defendant, a gentleman of independ-
ent fortune, for goods furnished to the wife of the latter. The
defence was that Mrs. Cooper was separated from her husband
with a maintenance, and that the goods furnished by the plain-
tiff, who eras alleged to be cognizant of the separation, were not
necessaries.

The case was tried before Mr. Justice Erskine, and a ver-
dict was found for the plaintiff in damages, 1491.
Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL this day abtained a rule nisi, for a
new trial on the ground that the verdict was against evidence.
The Court rose at a quarter past twelve o'clock.
