FATHER IGNATIUS IN THE CITY.

The attempt made at the close of the service yester-
day week to mob Father Ignatius in consequence of the
fierce denunciations he had launched against the
money-getting practices of Lombard-street, attracted
a larger congregation than ever to St. Edmund's
yesterday afternoon. The doors, kept by an
efficient body of the City police, were opened at
half-past one o'clock, within ten minutes of which time
every seat in the body of the aisles of the building was
occupied, the proportion of men to women being at least
three to one. At a quarter to one, the Father, wearing a
monastic-al habit, passed through the church to the
vestry, stopping on his way to prostrate himself
before the altar. The Litany having been read by the
assistant clergyman and a hymn sung, Father Ignatius,
wearing a surplice and hood, ascended the pulpit, and
preached from the Bth verse of the 50th chapter
of Isaiah : "He is near that justifieth me." The
discourse founded on these words, delivered with
intense earnestness of both gesture and voice, was listened
to with almost breathless attention. It was manifest
that the curiosity of his audience was greatly excited
to know if the preacher would make any allusion to the
demonstration of last week. Not a word, however, on
the subject dropped from his lips in the course of the
sermon, which occupied exactly thirty-five minutes.
The moment the service was over it was apparent
that the large crowd gathered outside intended
mischief. Some six or seven hundred persons, for
the most part well-dressed men, crowded the narrow
thoroughfare of Lombard - street, awaiting the ap-
pearance of the Father, whilst his friends lined the
door of the church to the street to protect him from
violence and insult. As soon as the church was emptied
of the congregation the doors were closed, amidst the
mingled hisses and cheers of the crowd. These marks of
popular feeling were renewed as every few minutes some
well-known follower of the popular preacher emerged
from the building, and were interspersed with exhortations
couched in anything but polite language to Father
Ignatius to "come out like a man." In the excitement of the
scene several free fights occurred between the rival factions,
and hats and umbrellas were sadly damaged. When the
crowd had waited with noisy impatience for about an hour,

it was rumoured, much to the disappointment of its mem-
bers, that Father Ignatius had made good his retreat
through a window at the back of the church.
