A RIOT IN LONDON CHURcH-A scene of n
most dlsgraceful character was witnessed last
Sunday afternoon in the parish church of St.
George 's-ln-the-East. The Rev Hugh Allen.
who has recently been appointed by the vestry
to the afternoon lectureship preached at the
service which commenced at q o'clock, and in
the course Of his sermon alluded to clergymen
who did not preach the Gospel, and more than
once mentioned the Pope Of Rome, allusious
which tended to excite the minds of many per-
sons present, who were opposed to the religious
teaching OF the rector of the parish 1.-THE Rev.
Bryan King and bis curstes. At the close of
the service the church wardens endeavored to
clear the church in order that preparations
might be made for the ordinary O'Clock SER
vice, but upward of one hundred persons re-
fused to leave and crowded round the altar.
This portion of the church was decked ont in
ultra Romanistic style, with crosses, candles.
and colOred cloths. At FIVE minutes before 4
O'Clock the doors Of the church were thrown
open, and an excited riotOus mob rushed in.

The reverend gentleman, who appeared to he
quite unmOved, proceeded with his choristers
to the front of the altar, where they all knelt
with their backs to the congregation. The
Litany was intoned by the priest and the
responses were made by the choristers, but
while they sung others said them in the
usual plain style, and with very strong voices
in order to spoil the effect of the choir
while another set of people vociferated re-
marks which are not to be found in the
Liturgy, and jeered the clergyman by imi-
tating the noise of goat At the close of the
Litany service, the clergyman rose, bowed to
the altar, and retired, at which time nearly the
