Dissraeeful Scenes in q RttaaIkst Church
fF in England.

The Bidgewater (Engiandl Mercury re-
counts the particulars Of q disgraceful scene
Northn0or- green Church. Mr.. Hunt COM
menced the morning service soon after eleven
O'Clock, and proceeded for q time IN the ordi-
nary way, when az was suddenly interrupted
BY great commo ION beng observed near the
door, Immediately followed by Q loud barst OF
laughter and stamping OF feet, the evident
intention being 70 create as much noise as pos
sible. The cause OF this tum ult was the entry
into the church OF two women and four
men. attired in what they designated their
"vestments." These consisted for the most
part OF several pieces OF paper, either pinned
intended 10 represent cape, tsimilar TO that
worn by Mr. Hunt IN his " high celebrations - ]
The paper was of various coiofs, and consisted
of strips of paper-hangipgs. On the back, in
the eayest coiors, were pieces of paper ar
ranged in the form of q large cross. Pieces of
large piaeards, printed on different colored
paper, pages of illustrated periodicals., &c,
fastened together. helped to complete the cos
tune. One man wore Il high " cardinals hat -
made OF yellow paper; another had strips Of
coiored paper attached to his cap, IN imitation
OF the ribbons Of recruit, and wore IN front
an immense placard, "Scotush Life Insu-
rance" while behind was another large pIa-
card, "Sanger's Celebrated Hippodrome.'
Inc two women are named Ellen Sweet and
Ann Bird: and the four men were Robert
Tothill. John How, Edward Kitch, and Par
sons lmmediatsIy after the entrance of these
persons there was a large accession 70 the con-
procession There was q complete inter-
ruptfon 20 the service, and Mr.. Hunt called 3
constable 10 seat himself beside the pulpit On
leaving the pulpit Mr.. Hunt proceeded 10 the
vestry. where he attired himself in his popish
habiliments. and again came forth, preceded
by his server. who bowed low in front OF the
altar table each time he passed IT, The boy
having lit the candles Mr.. Hunt knelt down.
when there Immediately ensued a lous noise
caused by scufiting ana stamping Of feet, and
coughing, and some laughter. Incense
was next burnt, and directly this was COM
menced the uproar became very great Some
put on their hats The bulk of the MEM
bers OF the congregation, no longer content
with stamping their feet, began 70 hiss and
hoot, and got very excited. Cries were also
raised OF "Put il awayp' and s.(io to Rome,''
In concluding the service, and before parta-
king Of the " consecrated elements" Mr. Hunt
lifted the vessel with both hands over his
head, upon which some kissing took place
Himself and his server were the only comma
nicants. Most Of the congregation, after leav-
ing the church, remained outside, and waited
for some time before Mr.. Hunt appeared, when
he was saluted with cries of "Go 10 Rome -
" How many stamps have zee had sent to zee -,
