THE nNeL1sH PROTESTANT MONIES.


SCENES AT BRISTOL 49,
A recent number of the Bristol England J
Post has this account ofthe doings of the Pro-
testant monks there's: fAAi4
"The Benedictines of Bristol seem to be de-
voting themselves more strictly than ever to
the stringent services of their order. At the
Feast of the Assumption, celebrated with an
unusually rich display of banners and vest
ments, after the grand service of yespcrs a
second service was held at midnight, and the
brethren walked in procession, preceded by a
crlicitix borne on high, and chanting as they
went to st. MichaePs churchyard, where some
prayers were intoned and hymns sung. The
brethren met with some annoyance in their
progress, and having been compelled by the
police to cease their chanting, returned to the
chapel where there was tremendous row
from halfpast one till three o'clock. Brother
Cyprian, while rebuking one of the spectators
for his misconduct, grew rather excited, threw
OF his surplice, and threatened to turn out the
disturber by main force. The offending per-
son threw off his Overcoat and intimated that
he was quite ready for anything of that sort,
and noisy row ensued, and oaths, laughter.
jeering and blasphemy kept pace with the
service for some time. The crowd OF specta-
tors was augmented now and then by occasio-
nal stragglers dropping in as they went roll
/, ing hone' Bacchanalian spirits were evident
~ IN the majority, and the row continued till
after three O'Clock, and but for the presence of
two policemen several exciting mills would
have come off. High mass was celebrated the
next morning. twas announced to be follow
ed by sermon by Father Williams, priest
Of the Church of England, but the sermon
was not forthcoming. There were plenty of
candles burning, and the officiating priest
wore gorgeous cape, but he mumbled the
lessons or other parts of the service through
his teeth in such manner that no one except
his brother Benedictines could hear one word
he said. At the vesper service the Rev. Faith

What the President says about tho DRAFT
[From the Cincinnati Gazette.l J

In common with nearly all tho 9th
or States, Rhode Island has been max
ing complaints at Washington of the
assignment Of her quota to the draft.
A committee from the Legislature
went to the Capital to demonstrate,
and try to havo the State quota reduc-
ed and the time for the draft extended.
They made their report on Tuesday
last. Thoy say that they had an in
tcrvcw with the President, who told
them. after stating their case, that so
many complaints had reached him
from various quarters of the assign
ment of quotas, that he had personally
taken the pains to examine the formu-
la adopted by the Provost Marshal,
General for the calculation and distri-
button of the quotas for the several
States, had arrived at tho conclusion
that no candid mind could doubtits
fairness and equity. He said the pen
ding call was not for 300, 900 men, sub
ect to fair credits, but for 300,000 re-
naming after all fair credits have been
deducted. He further stated that al,
though the policy which had been
adopted by the Provost Marshal. Gen
eral, for the assignment of the respect.
ivo quotas, met his entire approval,
and appeared to him the only way by
which exact justice could be secured,
in view of the fact that the aggregate
Of the credits due to all the States ex-
ceoded very considerably the number
OF men called for, and that men, and
not an adjustment of balances was tho
object of tho call--he had for the pur-
pose Of satisfying the minds ofall par
ties, designated II board Of officers to
examine into the system, and report
their conclusions. Ho declined to
grant postponement of the draft,
saying that the moral effect of furnish
ing the mcn called for promptly and
without hesitation would be rs great q
power as the men themselves, and ad-
ded 81 believe that the opinion which
General Hancock expressed to me yes
tcrday, is entirely we'll founded, that
if tho army could be presently incrcas-
cd by four hundred thousand men, not
one Of thom would ever be required to
| fire musket at the enemy" While
declining to postpone the draft in
Rhode Island, the President, however,
said that tho State might be assured
that no draft would take place in it,
or indeed in any State, as long as re-
cruiting continued brisk. Our Colum.
bus special however, says that the
draft is likely to take place in Ohio
this wcclt-we suppose in those locali-
tics where there is little or no volun-
tecring

G. on General Gilmorcs staff.
The remains of two iron .clads were

blowing them up, previous to the evac
uation.

BY which several citizens lost thoir
lives. Tho BUILDING was used Tor
