Disgraceful, saya the 'Globe df last night, as were the
proceedings in this churCh last week, the rioting, of
Sunday evening was
.more violent and outrageous than
any that had _till..then taken place. At the morning
service doors were slammed; and the congregation were
troubled very much with coughs, but nothing _unusual
occurred. The Litany service in the afternoon passed off,
without any violent disturbanee, but, as the time for -the
evening service drew near, it was very apparent that pre-
parations had been-made for a .riot. By six o'clock the
people began to assemble, and when the gates were
thrown Open, there were at least four: thousand people
anxiously.waiting for admission. The rush was terrific,
but no accidents of any kind are reported, owing
to the admirable tact with which the police, who
were stationed. Outside, managed the mode of . ad-
mission. There was no refusal to " suspected,'?
or other persons, and all who presented themselves
Were allowed to go in, Until the church was so densely
pacli'Oel that it could hold:no more. No sooner had
" the congregation" assembled than howling and yelling
of the most audacious kind Was commenced, and this was
continued without cessation until the priests and choristers
walked in procession to their accustomed places in front of
the altar. 'At this time a perfect storm broke out; cries
of " fire" were raised in order to cause dismay,and seve-
ral of the gas-lights were simultaneously turned out.
Mr. Churchwarden Thompson, upon whom the whole of
the, constabulary arrangements inside the church de-
volved,, obtained the assistance of some of his friends,
and forcibly ejected some of the•ringleaders amongst 'the
rioters from the church, leaving them, when they Were
thrust outside, to be d6alfWitla by the police. At the time
for reading the leasons, the Rev. E. Stuart, M.A., incum-
bent of St. Mary Magdalen, Munster-square, ascendedthe

struck, orange peel thrown about "in every direction, and
there is reason to believe that fireworks were introduced
into the church, and would doubtless have been used had
it not been for the energetic and determined "conduct of
the Churchwarden.
Mr. F. G. Lee was again the preacher, and when
he ascended 'the pulpit he was assailed by a, perfect
hurricane of vituperation and abuse. The most filthy
epithets to , which ! the human tongue could give
expression were hurled at him, in addition to the
recommendations to "Go down," "Be off," "No
Popery," and "Go to Rome." He gave for his text the
words of the prophet Isaiah, "Natchman, wAat of the
night ?" but' nothing could be heard by those who
were within lialfsa-dezen yards of the pulpit. The
peOple, who had indulged in singing "Rule Britannia,"
now struck up
with great vehemence "We won't go
home till morning," upon which Mr. Lee stopped, and
regarded them with an expression of; unspeakable
disgust. After a lengthened pause he asked
whether he should go' On and received a fond shout
in the negative. lie exclaimed " I will,", and then
proceeded to defend the conduct of Mr. Bryan King,
the rector; said he had made' concessions which had
only made the mob worse; derieuncecl the conduct
of the people before bins as sacrilegious ; said that
those who made• these disturbances were unworthy of
the name of Englishmen, arid argued that Mr. King was
acting constitutionally and legally in the course he had
adopted. The temper of the "'mob," which was the
term more than'once used by Mr. Lee when speaking of
his auditory, did not at alf improve, and they hissed and
yelled, and shouted, slammed doors, and so effectually
drowned the preacher's voice that, though he spoke for
forty minutes, not another word be utteredivas heard.
At the Close of the sermon not fifty people left the
church, and there was every desire to repeat the scene
which was enacted on the previous
.Simday evening; of
pelting' the altar. With any articles which wild be con-
veniently hurled against it ; but in this respect Mr.
Churchwarden Thompson was too much for the rioters,
inasmuch as prior to the
.opening of the church,
for the evening service he had caused every hassock,
cushion, book, and other articles which could have thus
been used, to be, removed., 'Being unable .to amuse
themselves in this way the people sang songs,—some of
them the doxology, while fights were going on in every
part of the building. The banisters of the reading desk
were broken down, but the altar fortunately escaped.
When this state of things had continued about half-an-
hour after the close of the service, Mr. Inspector Alison
entered the church with a body ofpolice, and performed.
the process of clearing out, an operation which lasted
nearly an hour.
Mr. Danby Seymour, M.P., who, in reference to the
riotous proceedings at St. George'a; has given notice for
this day (Tuesday) for a bill to amend the Act of the
session of the 3rd and .4th years of her present Majesty,
chap. 86, for better enforcing church discipline, was pre-
- seht at Sunday night's service, and will therefore be able
to relate his own experience to the House of Commons
when he moves for leave to bring in his bill.
A memorial addressed to the' Home Secretary is in
course of signature by the inhabitants of the parish.
They lament the riotous proceedings which have ren-
dered their church so disgracefully notorious, and pray
that some steps may be taken to ensure the preservation
of peace.

THE JUTE TRADE AND THE FRENCH TREATY.--In
order that Sir Charles Wood, the president of the India
Board, might be fully informed of the importance to
India of France being opened to the jute manufactures
of this country, Mr.-William Small left with the right
honourable baronet, on Saturday, amemorandura setting.
forth the virtdal piohibition imposed by present French
duties against jute goods ; the loss inflicted on India by
the consequent restriction of the demand for jute ; the'
injury sustained by the shipping interest, whose vesseti
might be much more extensively employed in bringino.
jute ; and the disadvantages suffered by our spinners and
manufacturers. The memorandum also embraced the
principal points in that submitted to the Chancellor of
the Exchequer.—Dundee Advertiser.
A SNUB ROOM WITH, A GOOD " OLD
as
FIRE.—AII the doors and windows closed as rigidly as
the state, of the joinery will permit, with sometimes
the addition of corded string and sand-bags. Now,
first, the fire, to be kept burning, must have
oxygen. The inmates must have air—oxygen also.
Every known source of supply being cut off what is the
consequence ? Great pressure is exerted by the cold air
outside, and draughts, thin little corkscrewy, gimletty
enrrents of concentrated cold air, find their way in, in
i spite of the elaborate attempts made to keep them out,
and strike us, and wind themselves about us, making
the shrillest music the while, asserting. their prerogative
in the most unmistakeable manner, as is the case in any
instance where it is sought to subvert the working of
a natural law, by barricades, or any other popular (lei-
cription of impediment. It will thus be readily seen
that ventilation of buildings is of the utmost importance,
as tending not only to the comfort of the inmates, but
as an' imperative sanitary duty,—indeed, as much a
necessity as good drainage or abundance of light.—
Builder.
A SURGEON COMMITTED FOR MANSLAUGHTER.—Mr.
Whitmarsh held an inquest on Friday, which was ad-
journed-to Wednesday, on the body of Mary Woolford,
of •Highworth, housemaid in the service of George
Alexander, Esq., of that place. It appeared that the
deceased had obtained leave of absence from her mis-
tress _from Monday, the 16th of January, to the follow-
ing 'Vriday, under the pretdnce that she had been
invited to a wedding.. She accordingly returned on
Friday, apparently in her usual health, and pur-
sued her accustomed work on the Saturday. On the
Sunday she complained of a chill in her leg; and in
the evening, at her request, Mr. Kennard, the surgeon,
was sent for, who found her sufferiug from a febrile
attack, and immediately ordered her to bed. Mr. Ken-
nard was again called in, as Early as 2 o'clock on the
following (Monday) morning, and found her decidedly
worse, and very much agitated. She then told him that
she had miscarried at Bath ; he examined the leg, and
considered the inflammation of the vein to have arisen
from the miscarriage. He continued to attend her until
the following Wednesday, when, being aware that she
was in a dying state, she said she could keep the truth
no longer—she must confess. She then told Mr. Ken-
nard that, being in the family way, instead of going to a
wedding, she went to Mr. Hind, ( f Stroud, and that he
used an instrument to procure abortion—giving her
brandy to support her during the cperation. The poor
girl died soon after making her statement. A post-
mortem examination was made, mad the jury returned a
verdict of " Manslaughter" against Mr. Hind (who had
been previously apprehended), and he was committed for
trialut the ensuing assizes. ,He appears to be nearly
seventy years of age.—Salisbury Journal,

from the foregoing that on Buccaneer I entirely pin my faith ;

• The Ridgway Coursing Bleetimg has been postponed until
Friday and Saturday next, the club meeting on Thursday, at
five o clock, at the Clifton Arms, Lytham, to enter the dogs,
&c., weather permitting.

The annual meeting of the Birkenhead Model Yacht Club
took place at the Club-house, Gough's Hotel, last week. It
was proposed, seconded, and resolved that, in consequence of
the absence of the flag-offieers, the election of the officer§ and
committee be put off until the meeting in April. It was stated
that all the accounts had been paid, and that, in addition to
outstanding subscriptions, the treasurer had'a good balance in
hand.

Mr. Draper intends to move at the next meeting of the
Thames Subscription Club—an institution especially devoted
to the support of rowing—that a champion's cup be added to
the stake money in all future matches for the Champicu -
ship of the Thames—any holder to retain possession of
the prize so long only as lie holds the undoubted_ right of
hampton of the river. If the motion be carried the cup will
bee provided at the cost of the club,
