Che Nous Gleaner.


On Monday OF last week, on the occasion OF tue
Lecture of Father Gavazzi, turns
out to have been much more serious than the
irst accounts which were received Of it, and
which may be found among our news items, led
The public TO expect. 1t proves to have been one
Of the fercest and most bloody mobs ever known
in Canada. Seven were killed, six MORALLY
wounded, and ten more badly injured. Gavazzi,
whose life was sought by the Infatuated Catho-
lies, fought like tiger, cleared his way out of
the crowd, escaped, and IS now safe at Quebec.
This bold. talented and remarkable man has
been, for some months past, delivering lectures
in New York, where his vivid pictures of the
corruption of the Catholic Church, from which,
we believe, he is a seeding priest, have attrac-
ted much attention; but the violence Of his de-
nunciations, which, perhaps, partake too much
of the prosecuting spirit of the Church he so
withefingy exposes, has raised up host of ex-
ssperated Catholic enemies, who are taught,
probably, by those whose craft is 10 danger, that
taking his life would be dong Gods service.
And we think, tom the ability and eloqncnca
o such of his lectures as we have read IN the
newspaper reports, that they nay well dread the
effect of his persevering abors tor if his life is
spared, he bids iair to make. Samson like, the old
Temple OF Catholicism shake about tho ears
Of ts supporters, more aarningly than any,
man who has recently appeared on The stage of
public action.
