THE RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS IN
ST. GEORGE'S-IN-THE-EAST.

The disturbances in the parish church of St. George's-
in-the-East • and the- unpopularity of the clergy and
choristers who conduct thhe services have become more
formidable than- evey, And , arconot confined to Sunday.-
There have been -scene l inside and outside of the church
every evening. for the lait ten days. There are services
nightly at eight o'clock, :after the plan adopted at the-
Ptiseyite' church of St. Matthias, Stoke Newington,
and other places. `- A-clergyman, named Dove, has been
recently introduced into - the parish of St. George, but
there has been, nothing dove-like in the proceedings of
the hoSile parties. There was a fearful row,inside and
outside'of the church on Sunday evening. The tumult
was very great, and 3,000 perions were assembled,- who
were with gr.eat difficulty dispersed by a large body of the
ll•and divisions of -police, who behaved with great'
moderation. On Monday night, after the service, con-
ducted by the Rev. Bryan King, the Rev. Mr. Dove,
and choristers, there was another riot, which led to the
apprehension of Daniel Stocker, aged 50, oil and coldur-
man, of No. 46, St. George's-street, better known as
Ratcliff-highway, who was brought before Mr. Yardley,.
at the Thames Police-court, and 'charged with being
drunk and using, in a public thoroughfare in High-street,
Shadwell; insulting words towards the Rev. -Bryan
King, rector of St. George'S-in-the-East,' whereby a
breach of the peace might have been occasioned.—A
large number of the ratepayers opposed to the Tractirian
innovations of 'the rector and his curates were loresent,
and seemed to take great interest in the proceedings.—
John Sutherland, a police-serjeant, NO: 16 K, stated that
after "evensong" at St. George's Church, on Tuesday
evening, he saw ten or twelve boys running 'after the
rector, and they were paling and hooting. He drove
the boyaniiraYirblit, they ifere .encouraged to return by
the defendant, who called out, " Holloa boys, holloa
boys, 4crwn with Puseyism," and they began' shouting
again, He remonstrated with the defendant,,and told
him such conduct was very improper. The prisoner
said, " I will take your number," and did so. At that
time the Rev. Bryan King had reached the house of
the Rev. Mr. Sangar, rector of St. Paul, Shadivell, at
the rectory in High-street, Shadwell, and the defendant.,
said, " There is Bryan King, the Puseyite," and set
up a laugh at the rev. gentleman, in which 100 persons
joined. The disturbance lec,ama serious, and he was
obliged :.to take • 'the prisoner into custody. The
defendant said he had occasion to go to Shadwell upon
linsiness, and on his way had to pass the Rev. Mr. Sangar's
house. He' merely looked on and did nothing. .A great
-deal more evidence was heard in reference to the charge,
when Mr. Yardley said—There has been a strong con-
flict in my mind' whether I ought to send you to gaol.
IT Ido not do-so it is only because Ido not wish to ruin
yoa. People are not to be hooted and persecuted in this
scandalous manner. The Defendant : I did not hoot,
sir.—Mr. Yardley : You were with others that did, and
set a very bad.example.—The Defendant: I only said
"ttiele goes three Puseyites."—Mr. Yardley : For
which you ought to be ashamed of yourself. Now, I
tell you what, that in. future, whether the party charged
is. respectable or not respectable, lie shall not have the
opportunity of paying a fine, but he will be sentenced ,
to imprisonment absolutely. I fine you 40s.—The penalty
was instantly paid.

CADTION TO MEMBERS OF FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.-911
Wednesday last the committee of the Dedding.ton Union
Beneficial Society met at. the Upicorn Inn to investigate
a charge brought against a member, Mr. Henry West,
a carpenter, and parish clerk of Upper Heyford, of
" breach of the rules, by. officiating at a wedding while
on the funds of the society." Mr. Calcutt (the chair-
man Of the Woodstock Board of Guardians) presided,
and the committeemen present were—Messra: Baker,
Davis, .H. Franklin, C. Mason, W. Woolgrove, W.
East, J, Hoperaft, A. Hoperaft, W: Hoperaft, W. Hop-
craft, jun., and Bennett. The chairman stated that
Mr. Hoperaft had seen ' the man Who was- married
upon the. occasion in • question, and that the fact of
Mr. West's Officiating was proved, overruling an objec-
tion that some one present at the wedding ought to be
called to prove the alleged breach. The 21st rule stated
expregsly that a sick member "shall not transact, any
'business" during illness. Mr.''West had been paid up
to the Saturday night -previously to the wedding, but
his 'allowance for the week, of which the Monday in
'question was the second day, had been refused. On
the part of the accused, it was urged that he had not
wilfully broken "any rule, or retarded his own recovery;
'that he had'during his illness engaged an agricultural
'labourer to perform his Sunday duties, and that being
"unable to obtain that person's services on a week-day,
lie wa,s compelled to act as he did ; that he was suffici-
ently convalescent on , the Sunday to go to church
twice, though not equal to, the task of chiming the
bells and making the responses; that.he fulfilled one of
the duties of a parish office, but did not, in the usual
meaning of the words, transact business on the Monday;
''and that the refusal of the club to pay, and his ne-
glect to try to enfore,e the allowance for the week in
question, brought the charge to an erid: 'Mr. Henry
Luing -was called to *give evidence as to the usage of a
simpar club of tradesmen at Bicester. He said—" lam
a carpenter, and parish clizli of Steeple Barton.. In
1852 and 1853 I was laid by` for three months from a
severe hurt to 'my right hand; during all that time I
received allowance from my' club, although I did all
work pertaining to my 'office on Sundays and on week,
days, except chiming and ringing the bells, and digging
and filling the graves. The rules of my club, which I
produce, prohibit the transaction of business in illness ;
but, although the officers of the society were informed
by me as to my doings, they raised no question and paid-
rue my.allowancOurietually and unhesitatingly." The
room having been cleared of strangers, the committee
deliberated nearly an hour. 'When , the door was
re-opened, the chairman said, "We are unanimously. of
opinion that Mr. West has broken the rules, and we
expel him,,,-...oxford Chronicle,

LIVERPOOL, Wednesday. Evening.

The Cotton Market to-day was more steady
and active, and a large business was done. With
less pressure to realise, prices assumed more
regularity, and sustained the extreme quotations
of Friday. The sales reached 18,000 bales, of
which 6,000 were for export or taken on specu-
lation.

In the Liverpool Share Market the tone was
feeble, and only a very small business was done,
at prices varying from to per cent. below
yesterday's current rates. At the opening, Cana-
dian Shares were moderately firm ; but late in
the day Grand Trunks fell considerably on
receipt of a disappointing traffic return. The
transactions included Lancashire and York-
shire at 102-1 ; London and North Wes-
tern, 991 H H ; Manchester, Sheffield, and

LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.

Wednesday Evening.

The Market for English Securities opened with
firmness, and were well sustained at yesterday's
quotations. As the afternoon wore on, weakness
began to be manifested, occasioned, it was said,
by an impression that to-morrow the Bank
directors may raise the rate of discount ; this
apprehension being combined with a reduction in
values of French funds. Consols for Money are
951 to t, and 951 for Account. Bank Stock
has been dealt in at 2281 ; Reduced Three
per Cents., 951 and d ; India Stock, 2221 ;

forced Paper, 981, 98, and 98a ; the Five-and-a-
Half per Cent. ditto, 1041 ; and Exchequer Bills,

tol pm. India Five per Cent. Loan is marked
1044 to N. Shares of the New Turkey Bank are
quoted 1 dis. to par, and those of Ocean Marine
1 9-16 to 11-16 pm.

In the English Railway Share Market, Stock,
on the whole, appeared to maintain its value ; in
a few instances there was manifested a want of
firmness and very little business took place.
