RENEWAL OF DIETTJRBANCEUS.

Yesterday was selected fee' a renewal of die-
' turbine's in the parish church of el. Georne'ain-the•Fest.
.Sues the question was some weeks Ago brought under the
. notice of paiiiiiinent the church has been attended by large
bodies of police, as many as 300 beteg at each same*.
This strum con;tabulary force standing along the aisles
and in the galleries checked any material outbreak of po-
rde, discontent. On Palm Sunday (yesterday week) the
were withdrawn, with the excerption of about tisa or
e twelve, who, under the direction of Inspector Alison, took
their places round the altar. At that time the informs-
Sift had not spread that the police bad been withdrawn,
sad the congregation was. tolerably peaceful. Mr. Mac-
konochie, who preached, being only slightly coughed at,
and the rector being hissed when he pronounced the blessing
from the alter.

been &rutted a white-robed chorister erne forth frpuithe
vestry, and with a long rod with a taper attached began to
light the candles. This was the signal for e` tempest which
it is needier to describe, for it was of precisely dr masa
character ae that which has been so often reported. It was
so into hoWever, that the churchwarden was rat for
and ly went to the vestry room. At ten minute:
past seven, the akturehwarelea (Mr. W. J. Thompson) name
out of the vestry room, and approaching the altar, evidently
it a very etched state, exclaimed to the people, who were
crowding mead the altar, " Take your rata!" The mob
shouted, '• Where? To which Mr. Thompson replied, " Any-
where !• About 40 or 50 people at once broke into the altar.
A gentleman named Adams, who has for a lung time past
takes an active part in favour of the rector and his party,
twilled to the altar Wes, to preserve that part of the sanc-
tuary from further invasion, and being a powerful and de-
trained young man succeeded to a grad extent in rigor
plashing hie object. His triumph, howeverovas of the most
short-heed character, for two police-constables and a paro-
chial officer named Button, acting under the direction of
the churchwarden, hurled him from his peek of defence,
and he was summarily ejectalfrom thechurch. Mr. Thompson
then went within the altar mils and cleared the intruders. It
was now about 20 minutes past 7, and a passer having been
made through the mob, a procession of priests air choristers
moved from the vest dour towards the altar. Two
of the chorliters fought their way to the rails, but the
whole of the ether ioristen, with Mr. Bryan King, the
rector ,• Mr. Dove, the curate ; and Mr. McDouall, the op.
pointed preacher, were hemmed in by the crowd (who were
laboring under the deepest excitement), and thee driven
her in the most Inselting manner to the vestry. Mesa-
while, it appeared that Mr. Thompson had previously to
the i
uption upon the altar had an interview with the
rector, Who insisted that he should find sittings fee Careen-
greptem, a.teek which„ under the oircumetoneen, it was
obviously impoesible to aocorriplish. At half-pest acre
o'clock another attempt war made by the priests and
choristers to get to their places, in order to
commence the service, and this time they were more sue.
emeriti. After a struggle which did infinite credit to their
pp/severance, Mr. Dove, Mr. McDouall, and the choristers,
made their way to the altar, end Mr. King to the reading.

of bowling, yelling, hissing, and slamming of pew doors.
Amidst a succession of similar interruptions, be went on
with the service until he came to "the Belief," when lie
turned round to the altar, with his tack to the congrega-
tion, displaying his M.A. hood turned out, displaying red
alone. This was the signal for a fearful row, during which
the police, who had lung uddstoconteudagainst, turned wee end
people out of the church, these being the principal
offenders. When Mr. Bryan King descended from the
desk there was more howling, and this proper was renewer
when the Rev. Mr. McDouall went into the pulpit. There
was a loud shout that he wore a huge cruel upon his back,
but this was a slight mistake, inasmuch r the sample adorn-
ment wails white fur university hood, one without any red
about it. The rev. gentleman selected for his text the 17tla
chapter of the Acts of the Apelike, Tenon 10 04 in--
" And the times of this %trance GA winked r, tot nob`

bath appointed a day In the which he will judge the world in

made some particularly direct refereuces to the cony*.

Bard that for eleven months post the church in which
they were assembled had been the scene of awful sacrilege,
that it was a monument of shame to penitent worshippers,
that the clergy had been subjected to persecution,
and spite, and that if the people continued in this pour
Col's judgments would surly fall upon them. These
admonitions and reproofs were however evidently thrown
away. The Easter Hymn, " Jesus Christ is risen to-day,"
which was sung by the choir after the sermon, was tra-
vestied by the congregation with filthy profanity.
As the rector and his staff left the altar for the vestry a
violent outrage
.was committed upon them, and it will be no
matter of surprise to hear that some of them hies been
seriously injured. So savage was the conduct of the mob
who attacked them, that Mr. Superintendent Howie, who
had been waiting outside, rushed iu with a large bodydy of
police, and having first guarded the altar furniture, suc-
ceeded in course of time in clearing the church, many parts
of which have suffered serious injury. Some hundreds of
persons afterwards amused themselves by walking about
the neighbourhood, singing, with more strength than har-
mer or propriety, the Doxology. And so—happily it was

Mr. W. .1. Thompson has consented to act as church-
warden for another year. His colleague will he Mr. Oen ett,

report may be relied on, is a most determined opponent of
high church principles.

REQtrisITION TO Ma. WERTIRTON, OF ST. PAVL'IS
KIOUWISSIUDOL —ID consequence of the retirement of the
present churchwarden, a requisition is about to be me-
seated to Mr. Westertun in the following terms : "We
hereby request you to add to the obligations you have
alrsiWy conferred upon the church of Li' iglend generally,
but especially in this parish, by perwittiug us to maiiinaM
you ones more for dud Aloe, sod, through you, to COW
time our protest and most determined opposition to the
Puseyite practices and teachings of Mr. Liddell awl his
curates." The recent secession to the church of Route
of two more of Mr. Liddell's curates has added to the
deeply.ruoted aversion of the parish, and which has been so
often expressed by them, to the system pursued at the
churches of St. Penland it. Barnabes.

Mr. JAY= BLUM, in the COMIM, of a lengthened additsa, p
stigmatised the Reform Bill as unequal in rte operation and •
unsuited to the growing necessities of the age. lie believed
that the only way to create peace, happiness, and plenty in
the country woe by means of prong a vote to every mitt
who bad an.in,g at the age of 21 ; tbe voice of the peopass
would then be beard, and they would then be independent- -
of such men as Bright, Cobden and others, who aimed at,
representing the working classes, but did not reflect their ),
opinions. Raving paned in review the principal prima
of the bill, on which be peened an unfavourabM opinion. ,
he then moved the followmg resolution : " That in the
opinion of this meeting no reform bill will be either lust or
satisfactory to the people that is not based on the pnnciple
of manhood suffrage, and that any instalment of the
franchise lased on a property qualification so as to ineresee
the electoral power of the moneyed or landed interest, in-
stead of increasing is equal proportion the 'electoral power
of the working chari, will be an oratory and not a benefit '
to the latter, and this meeting resolves to do all in its
power to obtain the enfranchisement of the whole people.
