shouts OF laughter. stTheEe's hat, - phrase
which was directed especially against srea e ct
"Three cheers for the Pope" ctc. No actual
violence was used against any, the cue OF the
crowd close to the church being that O. EooA-
humorcd banter. 1t was L long time before Ms.
Tooth left the sacred cdltice. Two or three
hundred persons waited to see him and tue
other clergy.nen go to the parsonage, lying
about thirty yards from the west entrance OF
tho church, quite away from the street. me
Vicar and his friends were llailcd during their
progress BY loud, derlsiye hootinss;; ;,.as soon

was rumorcd that one clerical gentleman, at all
events, was "bonncttcd :" at some period during
the morning.
The Standard reporter says: Having to
wait an hour before the commencement o. the Ihe
service, there was ample time to examine tue
interior OF the building, which has been TOO
much before the public already, though its no
toriety does not yet seem to have culn!natcd.
The first thing to attract attention Was notice
affixed to all the columns separating tfae nase ~

was dated Jan. Z, and signed by tile Vicar aud
two Church Warlens. This, by the way, called
to mind that on the barrier outside there were
posted printed notices that there would be no
eycnsong' or evening service last night: The
building Is Of the early English style aueeted
by Ritua1ists, with ! roou-beam, Oh which IS
displayed ! full-szc et]igy OF our Savior. The
chancel is separated from the nave BY
gates. having on the north side the sacristy sur
mounted by an orchestra lott, and on the south

Vicar himself. AS works OF art they are decidedly
rocco, but their realistic style make them start

the subjects are 1.-The Angel Of Darkne5s'n
white; 'SDarkness," typilcd BY the five foolisf,
virgins; "Light," by the five wise virgins;
.NFirc,'' typltied by an ancient sinner walking
in darkness; and "Virtue,' b., the exercise
of charity. So far, these paintings would
