Lest evening a public meeting was held at the
London Tavern, "to consider the Popish practices which
have recently sprung up in some of the churches of the
City of London, and particularly at St. Ethelburms's ; and
also to take steps in reference to the conviction of Mr. C. I'.
Langston,foralleged brawling in that church." The meeting
was numerously attended, the room being crowded almost
to suffocation, and the proceedings were of an earnest and
indeed of an enthusiastic character, every person pre-
sent, with the exception of three or four, being evidently
strongly imbued with protestant principles. Once or
twice attempts were mule to turn out the dissidents, who
were very noisy, and one was turned out. In the eou me of the
meeting the gas was turned off, and the room was left for
• minute or two in total darknem—a state of things which
excited some little alarm at first, but order was kept.
