CLERICAL DOINGS WITH CI RAv EsToNEs.--Jometi
Mowbray, Mawr and stonemarkn, Ashover, was charged
by the Rev. Joseph Nolte?, rector of Ashover, with
flouting at a partridge. Mr. Cutts appeared for the de-
fence.—The rev. gentleman said that he heard a gun tired
and saw some partridges tly, but he did not see the de-
fendant shoot, neither did he find any deal partridges.
Defendant was ploughing in a field close by. Ik went to
him and charged him with having shot at some partridges,
but he denied it. Witness found a gun belonging to the
defendant upon a wall, it was loaded, and ho (com-
plainant) took the gun with him which he produced in
court —Mr. Cutta, in defence, asked complainant if the
defendant was not a tenant of his, and whether he had
ever had to complain of him in any way, to which the
rev. gentleman replied that he had not.—Mr. Cutts, to
ascertain the motive prompting the prosecutor, asked
if Mowbray had not removed some gravestones
from the churchyard by his instructions, oblite-
rated " Sacred to the memory of," ike., &c., and
bad talked about it in pubire company p—Mr. Turbntt
thought such questions had no bearing upon the case.
Mr. Cutts, with some warmth, replied that the prosecutor
had appealed to the law, and the law he should have.
He pleased the questions, and the rev. gentleman ad-
mitted that those grave-stores had been removed to his
own property, and used as flags. This admission created
a great amount of astonishment in a crowded court.
Joseph Maniutt, servant to the prosecutor, was called,

that defendant had, in his own garden, fired a gun,

FATHER IGNATIUS IN LOMBAILD-ISTREST.
. •
' About thirty years ago, a country elergyinan,
• the PM of an Earl, beneficed in a parish on the
family estates, resigned his preferment in the
Church of England and joined the communion of
,Rome. A few years afterwards he reappeared in
(this country ae a member of one of the regular
orders of the church of Rome. This was the
IHoe. and Rev. George Spencer, otherwise Father
TIEL:LIna, Passionist. Father Ignatiu; wont about
persuading men of all races and tongues
-t•OTOIVw pence and good works, and especially to
for the tionvereion of England to the
~Gatllolio faith. About four years ago, while
thus , engaged, he fell down and died.
A •year or two before his death, another
clergynisa of the Church of England, in deacon's
Orden, the Rev. Joseph Leymeter Lyne, conceived
the idea of restoring monastic life within that
church, and for that purpose formed a society, to
which he gave the name of the Order of St. Bene-
dict. Mr. Lyne had his crown shaved, and appeared
at a Church Congress, and iu many public Oaten, iu
a costae gown, with a cowl, and with sand:als for
shoei.- He assumed the name of Ignatius; but,
!perhaps out of respect to Mr. Spencer, was for a
iwhile content to be (lulled Brother. At that time
only priests of the Roniish church were called
Father; now many clergymen of the Eng-
lish church aro addressed by that title, and
' Mr. Lyno is of their number. Mr. Lyne has
of late been preaching at a special service, held
on Fridays, at one o'clock, at the church
of St. Edmund King and Martyr, in Lombard-
street, and the service has obtained so much
notoriety, and so many contradictory state-
ments have been made concerning it, that a
plain account of a visit to the church made yes-
terday may be acceptable, although the remit
should be to make the character and mission of
Father Ignatius more enigmatical than before.
When the clock struck ono yesterday, St.
Edmund's was crowded in every part. The
building, it should be said, is comparatively small
and without side galleries, and would hardly ac-
commodate more than five hundred people in an
emergency. Nothing could be less " ritualistic"
than what suet the eye yesterday. St. Edmund's
is one of Wren's churches, fitted and ornamented
according to the ideas which prevailed in the
days of good Queen Anne ; most conspicuout
feature, the coloured window over the altar, is
filled with the arms of that sovereign, and bears a
political inscription in honour of " the memorable
year of Union, 1707." The rest of the arrange-
ments, excepting the low open seats, aro in
the style long dear to churchwarden. The
congregation yesterday was one very difficult
to estimate. It is said that those services
aro much valued by " City men ; " and
the prominent position given to half a dozen
portly, well-to-do looking gentlemen past fifty,
withhold heads, who sat together in great appa-
rent comfort, might seem like an attempt to make
good this repu! ation. At five minutes to one the
majority of those present certainly did not look
like persons whose time was of much consequence,
and might have been eight-seekers, sensation-mon-
gers, or persons in search of a religion. At a later
period, and especially for a few minutes before the
commencement of the sermon, there was a con-
siderable sprinkling of the more active classes of
society, many of whom had apparently snatched
a few minutes from business for the purpose of
bearing the preacher.
At 1 o'clock a clergyman, with a rasping, un-
pleasant voice, commeneel the reading of the
Litany, and after the first two or three suffrages
the responses were taken up by the whole body of
the people,—another proof of the undying popu-
larity of this portion of the Book of Com-
mon Prayer. After the Litany Mr. Lyne
gave out the first lines of Topledy's well-
known hymn, " Rock of Ages, cleft for me,"
which was sung with spirit to a well accen-
tuated tame by Redhead. The singing over, Mr.
Lyne, still in lib' surplice, gave out his text, Isaiah,
c. 50, v. 8—"Ile is near that justifieth me." With-
out tracing the historical origin of these words, or
referring to the Prophet, or to the Servant of
Jehovah, into whose mouth they were put, Mr.
Lyne treated them as aflirmingthe continual near-
ness of God to the soul, and this acterdingly was
his topic—God, as always near to be the solace,
the hope, the joy, the strength of " believers in
Jesus"—a phrase which occurred often in the
sermon—and to reprove and condemn the wicked.
The sermon, which lasted about 33 minutes, was
delivered with a degree of vehemence which would
have been called ranting in a Primitive Methodist
Mr. Lynes manner might have been formed on
the model of the better monkish preachers of
Southern Italy. The sermon yesterday consisted
mainly of two elements, which prevailed by
turns—appeals to recollections of an assumed
inner experience in his hearers, and impassioned
declamation upon the blessings of religion.
There was no denunciation of classes, present or
absent, no objurgation, no zealotry, not a
hitter word or the suggestion of a bitter thought.
The spirit of the harangue was excellent. This,
however, although in strange contrast with reports
that have been published of previous sermons, was
perhaps less remarkable than the doctrinal tone of
the address. Mr. Lyne did not enter into any
formal discussion of justification, to which the
structure of the text might seem to invite him,
but he could not wholly avoid the topic, nor did
he seem to wish to avoid it, and he spoke on it en-
tirely in the Pauline manner, making very largo
use of the phraseology of the seventh and eighth
chapters of the Epistle to the Romans. Ho spoke
strongly of the vain mptica, but without making
the most distant allusion to the sacraments, and
declared that it was effected through faith. The
work of Christ was repeatedly declared to be the
only and all-sufficient ground of salvation, and it
was spoken of as a finished work, aril its benefits
were directly available to "believers," whose faith
was the gift of God.
*hen Mr. Lyne had preached himself hoarse,
his exclamations and apostrophes passed almost
imperceptibly into a short prayer to the Holy
Spirit, and eencluded with the usual ascription.
If the writer of these notes had engaged to give
a rational explanation of the connection of yester-
day's sermon with other parts of Mr. Lynes
recorded teaching, he might find the teak exceed-
ingly difficult. Happily ho has only assumed the
humbler office of a reporter. The sermon of
yesterday was one which might have boon
preached, not only without blame, but with
acceptance in any Low Church pulpit. At its close,
Mr. Lyne announced that those who approved of
the work of " our society" were invited to con-
tribute to a collection which would then be made.
While the plates were going round the psalm "All
people that on earth do dwell " was sung, and
then Mr. Lyno pronounced the benediction. The
congregation on leaving found the lobby of the
church and its approaches almost impassable. A
crowd larger than that inside the building had
collected, in the evident expectation that some-
thing worth seeing was going to happen. Scores
of young fellows whose eager and hilarious looks
proclaimed them " ready for anything" wore
clustered about the door, at and about which
, few esti.' police were on duty.—Deily News.

The following arf detail, of what took plaus attar two
o'clock :

- - _
It wax clear that a well-concerted phut for attaching
rather Ignatium had been agreed upon, and that thole
who LW I egrced upon it were determined upon carrying
it out. Tnwaols the (dice of tho sermon there wore evi-
dent symptoms of disagreeable proooedingi outUdo, and
the lathes who were pro-and hid a private intim ition con.
veyed to them that it would h well for them not to leave
their mats until they received further directions. To this
order they submitted, but others of the iseugroll4:o2 i‘cat

out to rind a thuuserbet men ailing at teem at they one by
one found thermelves in the crowd. The disturb-
ance which took place naturally brought toge-
ther many others, mud m • mailer of precaution
it wan ordered that the church doors should be
at Ames cloud, three-fourthe of what had ham the eon-
emotion being unoweinonimisly locked in. This bought
the proceedings up to about •
.quarter-paert two o'clock,
and then Father Ignatius, haring au gement elm-
! where rod himself being one of -the' expreenod
himself iinzious to leave. The Echos remonstrated, but
the " Father" was stern; and se sko peon wet
' likely to bend his iron will, a four-wheeled ash was called
upon the scene. What the effect of this wee it may not
be difficult to anticipate. One or two persons who had
remained in the church cense out that, and were &wailed
with a shower of small apples, the' assailants having
doyen there as their favourite instruments of attack. Old:
OiCII and young women, ad woolen and young men,
were pelted with these email apples without distinction.
An aged clergyman, who bad been sitting in the choir,
happened to come out when popular irritation was at its
height. As it happened fief there Was for the moment a
slight fall of rain, he raised his 'umbrella. At that
moment a dexterous marksinan aimed at him one of the
small apples, which knocked off his hat, wloich was
soon wand as • trophy, kicked about amongst the crowd,
and then trampled into the mud; his umbrella we;
turned inside out, torn into shreds, and thrown about in a
hundred directions. A gentleman who had the appear-
ance of a Russian priest (judgt from hie habit, and the
remarks he mad.), and wha ha paned to be meidentally
pausing and making what the commotion was about, Met
his hat, which was taken from his head by a man divvied
as a gentleman, who threw it amongst the crowd, and it
wan never seen again. What this gentleman must have
thought of freedom of opinion and speech in F.nglanol it
would he difficult to gums. A horse taking fright threw
its rider and nearly killed him : twenty or thirty clergy-
men, most of them bearing a high church aspect, wore
grossly maltreated ; and there seemed to be a special aver-
sion to those ladies who left the church, and who had the
misfortune to wear crosser.. Mores of them were grossly
insulted. During all this time, however, the fact that
Father Ignatius must come out of the church was never
lost eight of, and when at about 15 minutes past two
o'clock a cab drove up, the signal was given for
an attack. From every one of the numerous lance
which lie about the church, hundreds of men
rushed out, and when the " Father " reached the
cab, the police peremptorily ordered him bock into the
church. An attempt was made to overturn the cab, and
although Father Ignatius declared that ho was willing to
go, and to face any body of Englishmen, the police did not
appear willing to encounter quite so grave a rowponsi-
today, and the cabman wee discharged. During the next
half hoer the gentlemen who empower! the crowd amused
thenweivee by throwing apples at the ladies and other
jimmy, who veeturi th two or three at a time, to come
out of the church--clergymen being specially selected for
the more severe attache, but at 10 minutes before 3
Superintendent Foster, who had taken the matter under
his direction, ordered 20 or 30 extra policemen to bo sent
for, and they were soon on the spot. They clearcd the
ground as well as they could, and by a skilful manceuvre,
after half en hour of active exertion, they got • Hansom
cab up to the church door, and having thrud Father
Ignatius into it, he was rapidly driven off at 20 minutes
art 3 o'cloct, a vast crowd following, yelling and hoot-
ing, until the cab turned round Oraoechurch-street. and
outstripped those who wished to airry their indignation
further. It only remains to be said, what certainly ought
to be said, that it was mainly to the good temper of the
police that the peace in thin case was so far preserved.

THE ACCIDENT TO THE IRISH MAIL TRAIN.

ABERGELE, FRIDAY.

This morning, the examination of Samuel
Eaton, station-master at Llandulas, who is charged,
upon the information of Henry Crippe, with the man-
oraughter of Charles Crippe, who was killed in the dis-
aster to the Irish mail on the 20th of August, was resumed.
The magistrates on the bench were Mr. Hesketh and the
Rev. Thomas Williams. Mr. Edwards Wood apputred
for the informant, and Mr. Jones for the defendant. The
first witness called was

John Stratton, who said he was inspector of police in
the Cheater and Holyhead district of the London and
North-Western Railway Company. His duties wore to
look after signal's and points. He produced the book of
the company's rules. It wee hie duty to see that every
station-master on the line had a copy of the rules. He
had served a copy of those rules upon the defendant. The
duties of the persons in charge of the points at stations
were to regulate the shunting.
Mr. James said the printed rules of the company were
put in, and he objected to Mr. Wood examining the
witness upon the duties of stationmasters.
After some conversation it was decided that the rules
should be accepted, and the following was entered upon
the depositions as evidence :—"Cloods, mineral, ballast,
or cattle train, when likely to be overtaken bye passenger
train, Inuit be shunted at stationi or sidings where there
are fixed signals, at least ten minutes before such pas-
senger train is due, and kept there till five minutes after
it has passed. Whenever there is a siding of sufficient
length to contain the train it must not be shunted from
one main line to the other, but always from the main lino
into the siding.
Mr. James objected to this rule being put in, on the
score that it forts ed one of the rules for working over
foreign lines. and did not apply to the Chester and Holy-
head line.

On the question being put by Mr. James, the witness
explained that the rule quoted did not form a portion of
the general rules furnished fur the guidiunie of the
comp ray's servants, but, as shown by the book itself,
appeared in the appendix, containing " rules for w.srking
over foreign lines.
Mr. Wood said he had made every effort to serve sum-
monses upon Mr. Cawkwell and Mr. Mason, but hod not
in. ceeded in doing co, and only yesterday &Herrero I had
been able to subpienal Mr. Binger. His sgent in L indou
had made every effort to serve a crown-office summons
upon Mr. Mason; and learning that he was ausompanying
the Queen to Scotland, he went down to Buabbury-
station, hoping to see Mr. Mason as he passel. The
manager was permitted to wait upon the station platform
till about ten minutes before the train was due, when
Le was swept off, and the train went by.
Mr. George, themagistrates clerk, said he had received
a letter from Mr. Mason, which he would read. Mr.
Mason said he had observed a statement in the news-
papers to the effect that be had been served with a crown-
office summons to attend as a witness on the prosecution
of the Llandulas station-master. lie thought it right to
inform the bench that he had received no such summons,
or he would have attended. He was in London till 4
o'clock on Monday last, when he left to attend her
Majesty in the train to Scotland. The unfortunate ac-
cident having been so very fully investigated before the
coroner's pay, and he having been called as a witness on
that occasi ~,, , he did not consider it ne ry to attend
again, but if the magistrates considered his evidence to be
of any importance lie would, of course, do as they desired
upon receipt of a letter from them, and without the neces-
sity of issuing a summons. lie had numerous engagements
in Scotland which would occupy him the whole of the pre-
sent wrest ; but if the magistrates desired his attendance

Mr. James— That is a very different thing from a mes-
senger being swept off the station, and the train sweeping
by with Mr. Mason. (Laughter.) The fact was that
there were printed rules which had been in existence for
years, and which prohibited any ens, besides the com-
pany s servants, being on the platform during the stoppoge
of a royal teen,.
Mr. J. O. Ringer, manager of the Chester and Holy-
head section of the London and North-Western Railway,
wee then called and sworn. In reply to questions by Mr.
Wood, he said it was the duty of the defendant on the
`ffith of August to have had the goods train shunted ten
minutes before the passenger train was due. His first
duty upon the arrival of the goods train at Llandulas, was
to see that the line was blocked. It was quite proper,
supposing the line to be protected by signals, for
the break van to bo left upon the main line
during the precise of shunting. There was no
rule to show that ; it was the rule of practice. The breaks-
men were bound to obey the orders of the station-master
in respect to shunting. The station-master at Llandulas
had no means of knowing when the Irish mail passed
Abergele. There was no telegraphic communication
between the two stations. The defendant would be
guided in his shunting by the time at which the mail was
due at Abergele according to the time bills. The Irish
mail usually travelled at the rate of 40 miles an hour
over the level. The line at Llandulas ought to be cleared
for the passage of the mail at 10 minutes before 12.39. If
it were not, the station-master would be guilty of culpable
negligence.
The driver of the goods train gave evidence as to his
proceeding to Llandulas immediately upon the trucks run-
ning away. The inquiry was the adjourned till Thurs-
day
