The innovation practiced by some of the Dublin
clergy In conducting Divine worship has produced
growing dissatisfaction for some time and at length
the Protestant spirit has been decidedly reused
that scenes of disorder are the consequence One of
the most obnoxious of the Remaining innovators is
the Rev. Mr.. Carroll, the incumbent of BRIDES
Yesterday week there was some unseemly inter-
ruptons of Divine service in his church, and the
aid OF the police was found necessary. Yesterday
morning the church was crowded to excess by young
men, who came for the purpose of putting q stop TO
the service altogether At first they repeated the
responses aloud, drowning the voices of the choir
When Mr.. Carroll assembled the pulpit the congre-
CATION began to cough and at such rate that
he could not be heard. At length they groaned and
Kissed, and greeted the clergyman with derisve
shouts of - No Puseyismr' " Go to Rome ~ :. The
Confession Boxm &c. The noises were so great that
he was obliged to desst from the attempt TO admin
lister the communion. The scene of uproar at that
time was something fearful the people mounting
on their seats and eering the discounted minister
he retreated from the unequal contest One long,
dismal groan was kept up while he remained in
view, but as he had gained the sanctuary OF
the vestry room it changed to yell of triumph, and
several rounds of Kentish fire. one person eXclalln-
ing at the top of his voice. 1.-THE Orange boys have
it." large number of police, with Inspector Arm
strong now entered the building but their presence
only added to the tumult. A rush was made to the
communicable, and prayer-book, on winch
large cross was conspicuous, was taken and hung
on the ground. Some persons who demonstrated
were rather roughly handled and obliged to beat
hasty retreat. Some gentlemen cried shame
and requested those most active to remember That
they were in place of worship, but to no purpose
It was thought, indeed that further and more ser-
GUS violence would have been had recourse to, but
Chief Superintendent Campbell requested the peo-
pie to withdraw or he would be compelled to send
for a force of police to clear the building After
some difficulty, and much persistence, but without
employing force, this was at last accomplished tne
doors were locked and the crowd which had gath
cred outside gradually dispersed. The disgraceiul
exhibition of the morning was re-enated in the
evening Long before the hour appointed for the
commencement of service, a large number OF per-
sons had assembled in Bride street. and on the church
doors being opened, shortly before o'clock, gen
eral rush was made and the building was immedl-
ately thrOnged The demeanOr OF the congregation,
stated to be composed for the greater part OF stran
gers were comparatively quiet until the Rev. Mr..
Carroll made his appearance. Then the sneeZlhs
and coughing which characterized the morning cell
ebraton of service again reenated by some per-
sons in the vicinity of the organ, and was taken up
by the majority of the congregation with an untag
ing determination an enegy. This ebullition OF the
feeling the part of the congregation was succeed
ed by a deafenng ring of Kentish fire and cries OF
No Popery" &c. The Rev. Mr.. Carroll then APP
peared in front Of the commentaries ana was
understood to appeal to the congregation to conduct
themselves in peaceful and orderly manner, other
wise he would be obliged to decline to perform tile
usual evening services The appeal, in place of ap,
peasing the angry feelings of those present, seemed
but to excite their fury to the utmost degree. In
stantly the church became the scene OF the most IN
describable confusion. The congregation stood up
in their seats and what between coughing, sneezng
the changing ring of the Kentish fire, the various
cries of True Professionalism, No Popery,
- No surrender" Down with Puseyism,' at length
the clergyman was obliged to retire. and the excite
ment was so great that the police were obliged to es
cort him to his residence.
