The gentlemen present represented the friends of

.' w
names hose
have been before the public fur Some time, and
the object was to remove certain differences which have
arisen on the subject. This object was completely

the supporters of Mr. Edgar Bowring and of 11r. Elisha

BITUALI,M IN TILE CITY. —Yesterday afternoon
a public meeting was held at the London Ti'. ern, for the
purpose of protesting against certain proceedings adopted
oy the Rev. J. L. Lyne (better known its " Father Im
am.," of the Norwich monutery), who has for some weeks
past held • mid-day service every Friday at the church
of St. Nickels& Acosta and St. Edmund the King, Lora-
bard-street, fee many years the steno of the lateens of the
Rev. T. Hartwell Horne, the author of the well known
" Introduction to Sweatiest Study of the Holy Scriptures."
In order to make the meaning of yesterday's meeting intelli-
gible, it may be stated that on Friday, the lush rust., Mr.
Lyne conducted • service at which there were persons
present who made themselves so objectionable to him that
he was obliged to rebuke them from the pulpit, one of
them being a clergyman of the diocese of London, who
made • sham confession to Dlr. Mackonochie, the incum-
bent of St. Albans, and then announced his intention of
exposing him. There was a disturbanco in the church,
end, as both sides agree in saying, some fighting outside.
At the service at Lombard-street yesterday morning there
was so vast • congregation that many were unable to ob-
tain suliniision, but everything went off smoothly. The
meeting ea the London Tavern was not altogether of a
pacific character. Mr. Webber spoke contemptuously of
the Bishop of London, who might, he said, prevent Mr.
Lyne from officiating, but who, on the contrary, was about
to admit him to the priesthood. He also stated that having
subscribed to an "Old Man's Home," under the
auperintendenoe of Mr. Lyne, he went to Laleham,
where it was mid to be situate, in order to ascertain what
sort of an institution it was. He found an ordinary red
brick house with mayoral small abode around it. There
was a turret with a hell, the inscription " Moncetery " over
the door, and outside a hillock, which be understood Mr.
Lyue called "Mount Calvary." He found that only two
old men had ever been in the home, one of whom was so
diegusted that he left. The Rev. M. Peake, the rector of
islehans, hail told him that the proceedings in the home
were of an awful character, and that one youth who had
hean attracted there bad been asked by Mr. Lyne whether
he would like to see the infant Saviour. Ou the boy 'ce-
menting, Mr. Lyne went to • place fitted up like • manger,
and from some straw took out • wooden figure, which he
repreeseted as the Saviour, and which he made the boy
kiss. A Mr. Hughes, formerly • Roman catholic, then a
ritualist at Norwich, and now a protestant (by abjuration
at Mr. Ormiston's temporary church at Islington, on
Christmas Day), gave IMAM particulars of the daily life at
the Norwich monastery while Mr. Lyne was its superior,
bat the truthfulness of his statements was challenged by
many gentlemen in the room. Other speeches of a like
character were delivered.
