—Mr,Maaa (ticket collector) got on to the platform, and
said that if Mr. Thorium pusteted in interruptiag
ther Ignatius, be would be emespelled to call the police.
Another gentleensa, named lISOCOOk. rose and made some
remarks which were quite inaudible amidst the uproar,
A Voice cried cot —" Appoint a chairman to keep order."
Brother IGNATIUS said he was *Mixed to the gentleman,
and felt quits confident in himself, and to use a sehoolboy
phrase, could conduct the meeting co "hie own hook.
(Laughter.) If he had a chairman, perhaps mute zealous
prubytorian would break his head after he (Brother Igor
tins) bad gone. He then continued, and in the coons of
his remarks co the reformers, he celled Melanothon,
Zala-
gle. and Luther heretics.
Mr. Tnowson (with great vehemencel—Luther was of
• heretic. (Tremendous uproar and diaapprobatioa.)
Brother IGNATIUS—Lather did not believe in the Epistle
of St. James ; therefore he was a heretic ; and the church
of Ragland, according to it. Prayer.book, prologues him
to be a heretic- As the word " heretic" was a wither cari-
ous word, he would like to oak his iaterrapter what its
original derivation was. (Immerse applause.)
Mr. THOMSON rose to bis feet, and with outstretched
arms, shouted at the top of his voice : Now, master of all
that is abominable. (The rest of his remarks were drowned
in hien' and tremendous disapprobation.)
Amidst the noise Mr. Hancock rose up and made some
remarks, the only pars of which we heal was ;bet Mr.
Thomson was not expected to be a walking lexicon. (Great
laughter and hisses.) This gentleman, who stood on his
feet for some minutes, wee treated to a thorough round of
very uncomplimentary epithets.
Mr. THOMSON (with great gravity, and amid laughter)—l
could teach the monk !

Kr. 'Thomson, however, after repeated calls did not come
"up to the scratch" with his derivation of the word
" heretic," and Brother Ignatius himself gave it for his
benefit. The learned (optimum then ooecluded hie lecture
by intimating that be would give an evening lecture at a
cheep rate to the work* men of Newcastle. He meant to
preach twine is the theatre on Suaday, and he also intended
to write the Vicar of Newcastle to be allowed to
concernieg the Day of Jodgment, in St. Nicholas =I.
If he was refused admittance to the church, like Wesley, he
would preach wherever he could. (Applause.) Brother
Ignatius then requested the audience to join with hint in
prayer.

attempted to speak.
Brother IGNATIUS—I will not listen to what yon have got
to my, dr.
The lecturer terminated the proceedings by re tag the
Lord's prayer, in which the audience again j
Throughout the whole of his discourse Brother Ignatius
was frequently cheered and applauded, and his arguments
seemed to be acquiesced in by most of the andirons& When-
ever any one interrupted him, which, as will be mesa from
the above, was very frequent, the offender was received
with totes.. hisses and diaapprobatioa.
