SCANDALOUS DELUSION.-On Sunday
tile Rev. e. Irving delivered two sermons on
the extraordinary gifts of the spirit, on each of
winch occasions the congregation were disturb
cd by individuals pretending to the miraculous
gut OF tongues During the sermon in the
morning, lady MISS Hall,) thus singularly en-
dowed, was compelled to retire to the vestry.
where she was unable las she herself says) TO re-
strain herself, and spoke for some time i'm the
unknown tongue, to the great surprise of the
congregation, who did not seem prepared for The
exhibition. The Rev. Gentleman resumed the
subject IN The evening, by dlscoursing from Tor
rather ezPoundlUg) the 18th chapter of the lst
Corinthians. Towards the conclusion of the
exposition, he took occasion 10 aude to the cir
cumstance Ut the morning, and expressed his
doubts whether he had done right in restraining
the exercise of the gift in the church itself, and
compelling the lady TO retire to the vestry. At
tnIs moment gentleman in the gallery Ia Mr.
lapiIn, who keeps academy in Castle street,
HOl0ornD rose from his seat, and commenced
violent harangue IN the unknown tongue. The
confusion occasjoned was extreme. The whole
congregation rose from their seats in alright
Several ladies screamed aloud, and others rush
ed to the doors. Some supposed that the build
ing was IN danger, hers that there had either
been murder, or an attempt to murder some
person IN the gallery, insomuCh that one gentle
man actually called out TO the pew opener and
bCad!e to "StUp him, and not let him escapc. T."
I'm both occasions the church was extremely
crowded particularly so IN the evening,) and il
would be- impossible TO describe the confusion
produced by this display of fanatcism. There

Mr. Davis, Of Mass. drew the attention OF
the House to the real question at issue. III
was proposition TO appoint Standing Com
mitlee 1t had been the practice OF the House,
for many years, TO refer To Select COMMITTEE,
subjects now proposed to be referred TO Stand
ing Committee. 1t was mere proposition for
a change of names, for calling that a Standing
Commute, which had heretofore discharged the
same duties under the name of Il Select Com
mittee. 1t was in fact an uDimportant question,
though it has been debated as involving impor-
tant principles. If gentlemen are willing To
admit that the people have right to be heard
through petitions, they must admit the necessi-
ty of creating Committee for the considera-
ton OF such petitions. Whether they chose to
appoint u Select or n Standing Committee for
| this purpose, he did not care fig. Standing
| Committees were chosen on such utjects as
were always likely to he brought under our con
sidera,ion, und Select Committees, for matters
of occasional reference. Whether the one ol
the other was adopted for this subject, he
thought matter of small Importance, and un
worthy the consideration which gentlemen hat
! chosen to give to il.
