At about 10 o'clock on Tuesday night a disturbance occurred in the Ebenerer African M. E. Church, which caused great excitement. Some two thousand colored persons and others congrecutcd about the church and adjacent thoroughfares. Some dissatisfaction hi existed among the members and trustees of the church in reference to certain portions of the discipline, one of which was against the independent action of the "singing bunds," who have their leaders, said leaders hav-inmuch to say on the affairs and These discipline of the church. is it "singing bands," alleged, have the progress with interfered largely and good standing of the African M. E. churches, and the majority of the congregations are opposed to them. The refractory conduct of officers of the Ebenezer Church found vent in open violence on Tuesday evening, hastened by the fact that its pastor, Mr. Johnson, had "split a class" and relieved its leader. This much incensed the turbulent minority in the congregation, among whom were trustees of the church, and open violence was threatened. Plans had been put on foot by the disaffected members to make an attack on the church last night, probably reinforced by insurgents from another Africau M. E. church around the comer upon Sharp street. On Tuesday night a large mc.tiug of the officers and members was held for the purpose of considering the "spiritual and temporal welfare of the church." The meeting progressed as usual with prayers and singing. By request the pastor eouiutenced reading the manual ordiicipliue of the church, amid ejaculations both favorable and the contrary. A disturbance seemed inevitable, the fat of which transpired when Thomas Short jumped on a back seat, and flourishing a chair yelled out: "Jndge Gilmer will have to settle this!" A scene of the wildest confusion em?ued, euluiiuatiog in a lively Some of the congregation melee. ran out into the street, shouting, "Murder!" &c, which quickly brought a number of policemen to the scene. Inside of the church chairs and other available furniture were being freely used, and several persons were badly bruised, but none, as is learned, were seriously injured. Officer Brown upon entering the church was struck and knocked down with a stool. The ringleaders in the riot managed, by some rear or side entrance to the church, to effect their escape. To add to the excitement, the congregation at the colored church on Sharp street rushed to the scene with frantic cries of "The house of the Lord has been attacked," g "Police," "Murder," &c.

A sad case was heard at the Greenwich police court in London the other day. A young woman THE CELEBRATED named Florence Helps was charged with wounding William Mann in the face with an umbrella. It appears that the prisoner and another young woman while out walking, were followed by a knot of troublesome boys. One of the party trod on Miss Helps' dress and made offensive remarks to her.
