BROTHER IGNATIUS must be a very clever man.
Wherever he goes he gets people into trouble, but
always seems to come out well himself. At Clay-
don he embroiled his rector, the Rev. Mr. Davit;
with the Bishop, and was also the cause of that
gentleman's appearance before the magistrates. But
his doings there only prepared the way for him at
Norwich,where he opened his Monastery with great
&hit, and soon found contributions rolling in upon
him from all sides. There, however, he got poor
Mr. HILLTARb, the chaplain to the onion, into
trouble, made a fool of Brother Auot-snsx, and
produced a local commotion, of which our
columns this week have supplied the evidence.
The ambition of Brother IGNATIUS is not very
high, but his success, such as it is, most silence
those who say that we of this enlightened age are
no longer governed by outward show. He has
furnished another illustration of the "clothes
" philosophy" of a celebrated living author. By
the simple expedient of dressing himself in a rugged
garb and assuming &fanciful name he has beenable
to exercise a power which as the Rev. Mr. Lusa, an
unbeneticed clergyman in deacon's orders, he
would never hare acquired. To this he owes the
crowds which flock to him in the great towns of
the north, and without this it would have been
difficult for him to hare assumed that license of
reproach in which he indulged so freely. His
cowl has seemed to take him out of the category
of the ordinary clergy, and to exempt him from
comparisons which would certainly have been
instituted if without it he had attempted to play
the part of an agitator, and pass from town to town
entertaining audiences with wholesale censures,
and bringing against his more sober brethren
grievous charges, such as always gratify the pride
of large numbers of hearers.

The Rev. Mr. HILLY-tan, whose performance of
his duties as cf the Norwich Workhouse
was last Tuesday and Wednesday under investiga-
tion before Sir Join WALSH, an inspector of the
Poor-Law Board, was requested, by an unanimous
resolution of the Guardians, passed last April, to
resign that appointment, on the ground that he
had lost their confidence through identifying him-
self with Brother Inxsairs and his friends. It
appears that before that date the guardians had ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the manner in which he
had discharged hs duties. He bad not visited the
workhouse ofct u enough, nor paid sufficient
attention to the instruction of the children in
the "homes" it, connexion with it. There
can be no d 'Wet, however, after the evidence
that was pr.,duced at the inquiry, that the great
objection to Mr. HILLY.%RD was the peculiar chi
racter of his churetinauship as shown by the ex-
cessive ritualism of the services at his church, St.
Lawrence, Norwich. It seems that whereas the
Holy Communion was formerly celebrated at this
church every six weeks, after Easter-day there
was a daily celebration, attended by the monks ;
incense had also been introduced, and about thirty
lighted candles were pieced ou and about the altar.
Persons were encouraged on entering the church
to dip their fii.ger in water and cross themselves.
All these tVm;s displeased the Cuardiana, who
withdrew a certain class of the children from atten-
dance at Mr. HILLYARD'S church. Tothis step that
gentleman could make no objection. but he ap-
pears to have resented tlio attempt of the Guar-
dians to make hi,, responsible to them for the
manner in which ho conducted the service at St.
Lawrence. Ths was only a natural professional
feeling. It was not alleged that Mr. HILLYARD
had introduced improper observances into the ser-
vices of that workhouse ; and over them even the
law gives the Guardian,' no direct authority.
They are to be the services of the Church of Eng-
land ; but, as we know, these vary much in
different hat is. The only guarantee of their
appropriate performance in workhouses appears to
be a clause in the Act of Parliament under which
the consent of the Bishop is made necessary to
• chaplain's appointment. To the Bishop,
therefore, the Guardians appealed by carrying
to him a copy of their resolution condemning
their chaplain's connexion with the monks, and
calling for his resignation. A letter addressed by
the Bishop to Mr. HILLYARD was read at the en-
quiry on Tuesday, in which the conduct of that
gentleman as Rector of St. Lawrence was
condemned iu severe terms, and it was alleged on
behalf of the Guardians that this letter withdrew
