AN IMPATIENT AUDITOR. An unusual incident occurred on a recent Sunday in a Dissenting place of worship in the East End of London. During the temporary absence on vacation of the regular minister, the special preacher who had been engaged called .upon a member of the congregation to offer up a prayer. The gentleman asked complied with the request, and after he had been engaged in the sacred exercise for nearly a quarter of an hour, began to invoke the Heavenly blessing on tho Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of York, and was then going on to mention by name other members of the Royal Family, when his_ attention was diverted by the interposition of a gruff voice, emanating from a pew in one of the side aisles, "Pile em all together." The result was that the prayer was hastily brought to a conclusion.
