MEETING OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION. BIZKINGHAX, FRIDAY. Last sight the first eontersasimse took place at the Tows-hall ; ft was aymerously attended, mod of the prim. clpal permeates visiting the tows were present. The elec tric ligkt wee *abated by Pr Assoc Faraday ; and &camber of szperiassets made with metallic wires exhibited their penlas properties, sad most interesting phenomena were predeest. The party did mot break ap until past elect■ o'clock. This morning the various sections *gain assembled, and a number 0( interesting pipers were read, amongst others on. by the Chevalier Bunsen, "ea the relative amount and extent of the differeat races in l'rusefa and In Germany; and on the statistic* of Prussia, with particular ref Ore, , Cl/ t. railways, and the mites of public isstrestlon according to the latest returns." This excited a good deal of attention, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bari of Rarrowhy, Mr. Adderley, /LP., Sir R. R. Inks, M.P., Iffr. M. D. hill, Q.C., and ether persons of limier, eminence, being pesesot. eatis t ireper rend by Mr. O. Porter, "Oa the agricultural ea of Inland," has excited a good deal of attention. The following is an extract : A volume of considerable iimerest and importance, enti tled " Returns of Agricultaral Producer, Ireland in the year 1848," has very ieo.u.ly been distributed to the masters of the two houses of parliament, and it is thought that a short abstract of its contents may prove intimating to the maim This volume more then fulfils the promi.e set forth in Its title-page, since it cloprie a also the n turn of agricultural stock and produce in the preadii g year, 1847, and thus enables its to draw a erfrop,ristin hawser the two years as regards this most imp rtaut branch of the national industry, under circumstances which give to such a comparison an interest far greater than it would have possessed at almost any other period. The retorts hay. Owen obtained at the desire of Lord Clarend,.n, under the direction of that most intelligert and energetic public ofileir, Captain Lamm, of rt.e Royal /ingrain, who, i. will be renambered, read before this sectiun at the meeting of the emaciation, held at Cork is 1843, a very valuable and elaborate paper on the cen sus of the pipulation of Ireland in 1811, Ia whith paper a considerable amount of information was given that will admit of the comparison as respects some matter. eon. fleeted with agriculture being carried back te the year 184 L Tee returns embraced at both periods the Lumber or serum or holdings, distutgutalted in different chums, ace 'ruing to their average contests, isrortroatiou of deep imporiaafe son sideting the faulty—it might rather be said one fatal—sub divisions of the soal is that island; sad It out be gratify Ise to learn that a Omega in thus respect is gong forward, if not so rapidly as could be wished, yet mare rapidly t. an could have been expected from the knows tenacity where• with the Irish tattier his previously adhered to his parch o; ground.

The next teases retains, *huh will must probable be made under the di:se:los of Capt. Ler. woe, who ao ably conduct. d the census of 1841, wilt doubt less be made to exhibit the edict which this change pro- duces upon tho course of employment. The fact has on previous occasions been noticed, that while ia England and Scotland the proportionate nut& yer of the impala ton employed in ran-ing loud has been decrossing in a very remarkable manner, the contrary mutt has been experienced in Ireland. It was ascertained, at the census of 1811, that, in Great Britain, 1,000 per sons engaged as occupiers and labourers, in rotsing loud, pro. tided for the wants to that respect, of tbeinseates and of 2,984 p. noes, while in Ireland the like number of persons, us., 1,000, so engaged. provided food for no more than 611 persons beyond tiomselvet. la 1831, the number of Mini. pen not employing labourers—me lowest descripti n of farmers—in England was 94,983, but of a population of 13,000,000, es hs seas in Irelaid, a pupulathn of 7,700,600 turnishsd 564,274 of IMP h sons 1 farmers.

Tao total Damns el aer.• under cultivation in 1b47 was hand to be 6,238,674. If we deduct therefrom the area cultivated in Waterford and Tip perary, 432,977, the remainder will show the extent which is fairly to be brought into the comparison-5.s , 4,505,48. The acreage under cultivation In 1848 was 6,108,002, shoe ing the gratitylue fact that an increase has been made in clue year of 302,464 »rem exclusive of the two counties here mentiooed. It Ms 140tesse in those counties ea' kept pace with that of the remainder of Ireland, the lamed» breadth of land te.ught leader cultivation into* year has amounted to 329,716 acres, or more than 6 per cent. The stock of various kinds that existed at the time of the 'tut Callsa, (1111), and in 1847 and 1818, afford a atm» commentary upon the distress occasioned by tie Molars or the potato harvest. It appears that, oompariug 1817 with 1811, the number of horses was lessened by 64,348; but we deficiency on farms not exceeding fifteen an» amounted to 183,694, while there was actually an increase on farms above that arse of 109,314. Of uses there was an increase of 91,714 ; but on the small farms there was a felling off in the number of these animate amonoting to 32,956, while there was an increase os the larger holdings ot 61,609. With respect to horned cattle, th<re was sa ingress@ of 627,114 ; bat this was wholly experienced on the larger farms, there having been on those not exceeding fifteen acres, fewer in 1817 than in 1841 by 338,471, sad consequently more oa the larder holdings by 803,683. The number of sheep was km on the whole ia 1847 thaa in 1841 by 109,685; but the de ficiency on the small farms was 649,218, whds there was an Increase isa the larger. The greater deficieuey has been experienced in regard to pigs and posit», which in Ireland are especially domestic animal% and, as might be expected, the failing off is Maud »idly amend the cattier dale. Oa the larger farms, those above thirty scree in extent, there were 42,643 more pigs in 1847 than in 1841; whereas ea all the smoke holdings the differ ence was very greatly in the other direction On farms not exceeding ems are the numbers Wall 295,048 in 1841, and only 19,108 id 1847. Oa farms from one to five sane then were 261,687 in 1841, and only 21,422 in 1847. In the next division, between live and 6 tea acres, the numb., were 350,826 in 1561, and no more than 80,098 in 1847. Pennies huidieg from Mien to thirty acres kept, in 1841, 216,310, and only 113,864 in 1847; while on farms above that eine the numbers, whisk were 240,301 ia 1841, had advanced to 282.984 I. 1847. The satire deficiecey of this description of stock between the two periods was 836,625, or sore than 60 per aut. The diminished number of poultiy was 3.378,279 epos 8,234,427, or forty per cent., which, as in the case of the pigs, apps entirely to the smaller farms. On those above fifteen acres these woo am bewared number, amounting to 1,048,974, showirg that the laorned number on the smaller luau was 4,427,253. The lessened num ber of pigs ia clearly »lovable to the failure of the food up» which those animals are wisally kept in the »hies of the powastry; and, as regards poiltry, ems» baldly les to should sestinas =roe that a starving people as veer se easily ehavertible into food, or into that which wooaulldd pram bed for the owners.

HEREFORD MUSICAL FESTIVAL. HZUZIOAD, FRIDAY. Yeettrd ty the morning performance at the cattedral ensisted of a selecti to fulls the works of our best motets, including " Stabil Matter," portions of Spohr'e oratorio " Calvary," cal se me detached pieces. Tne per. famine, opened with the introductory movement and symphony trots Haydn'a " Seven last words." The selection from "Calvary " followed. The first reel tali,* and solo, " Though all thy friends," was suer by Madame Catena% who gave to it its tree devotional re ding, and the cturus was well sustained. The air by Miss A Williams, " When this scene of trouble closes," was delight fully accompanied by Messrs. H. Blagrove Platt (horn), Lialey (violoncello), swl Dove (piano). la the se cee ed ing trio, " Jesus a ly Mester," by Mies Poole and the Misses Williams, the soprano (Miss A. Wit. hams) was heard above the others. Atter this selection, the fine chorale from " Paul," ea adapted by Meadeltsolie, front Sebastian Bach, was Fives. The " Hatlehrjah "in this chorale was beautifuliy given, and the piece was encored. Mr Siam Reeves appeared tot toe first time at the Cathe dral, and sang the well•known air, "Sound an alarm," from "Judea Mareal leis," with the in6oductory recited , e. The choral, " We hear, we hear," was given by the band end voices with exquisite perfection. After the full chorus, "Ana follow the* to coiquest," the sadden pianissimo move ment "It to fall," mod the succeeding crescendo told with beautiful effect. Madame Cestellan afterwards sang the air from the Creation, " With verdure dad." This was ren dered with a delicacy awl sweetness which no form of words can describe. Of course • repeat was called for, aid the second performance was, it it were possible, even superior to the first. Then followed the air from " St. Paul"—" Be thou faithful unto death," by Mr. Locke y, with Lindley's violoneello obligee; the auras in " Jeph the," "When his loud voice • ' and the chemist's, "The heavens are telling" ("Creati on"), sad " Father, we adore thee," from "Judah." Toe last-named was beantifally given, and the fugue, " Olerily his name," was cleverly taken up by the voices. During the perormance of Bee thoven's service, the whole of the audience, following the example set by the lord bishop, remained standing. The "Stabat Mater " is quite a novelty at these festivals. We believe it was never before given at the festivals of the three choirs. On the whole, it wee well executed. The Misses Wilisms sang the duet, " Power eternal, Judge and Father," wily ewe etly ; the music bears a close resemblance to the dust in " Norma," "Hear me, Norma,"—• decided plagiarism of B4lini. The quarett, " Hear se, Lord," by the Misses Williams, Mr. Stress IliterVel. and Mr. Phillips, was exquisitely given, and wee moored. The collicuon at the cathedral doors on behalf of the charity amounted to 1401. Luz night's comers at the Shiro Hall Ole last evening concert of the festival) wis a bumper. Upwards et 600 persons were in the concert room : tho largest number, we believe, ever brought together at any of the festival coucerts eivea at Herefotd. Tn. euneert opened with • selection from Weber's opera of " Euryanthe," for which an English version bad been ezprerly written for this festival by Mr. BAIL The grand overture was perfectly rendered by the bind, and indeed the whole of the selection was most satisfactorily pose through. The charming air, " Flowers .f the was exquisitely given by Madame Caetellan, as were also the glorisus march and chortle, " Hail, ye he roes." Reeves we greatly admired in the sir, " Butt errs," and the °beeline " Where the Loire's bright waves mean der," Miss PoOle'e song, "'Tie May," was a very pretty piece, to whitst she did full justice. The wedding march in klendelesohn's Overture to " Midsummer Night's Dream" was magnifies-Lt. In these:end part of the concert, Min A. Williams's song, " A bird sat on the greenwood spray," was ensured. Mr. &swarms was ir,,lennid snide scene frnia"LaSonsernbula;" oil was rapturously enured. Keyvett's glee, "Toe Midges' danor," by the Misses Williams ant Messrs. Hobbs sad Phillips, was also encored. Phillips was himself again in " Lucia saw," sad Ma lame Castellan enchanted the au dience in " 0 Wee di quest anima," which was vocileroualy eneond. The bell alter the comet was fully attended. THE BRIGH TON CHURCH-RATE MADE BY A MINORITY.-PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES. Oa Thursday 24 ratepayers of Brighton were sessional beta* the magistrates in ?say B<esions in that town, to show cause way they refined to pay their church rates: Mr. Coreford appeared as solicitor for the church wardens, end Mr. Boykett, of 9, Chanceqq lane, London, attended as elicitor for nine of the d te. The ant . case gnats into was that of Mr. Fiat, Mr. CORNFORD mid the churchwardens, la the vendee of their duty, had thought it right to bring them cute before their worships in order that pennon might be entoroed, on the ground that the rate was legally and properly made. Neatly two - thirds of the persons rated bad dread) paid their rates, but there wen SOON who still refused, and the oburolt. wardens thought it no more *ea just that they should be made to psy. lie should not waste their time by going into the law on the subject, u it had been elaborately laid down by Lord Denman in the Braintree we, which was on all fours with this ; Una being, as their worships were aware, • rate made by a minority, is pursuance of a moaition. Mr. Coraford then called _ . . . . --.---- _ Mr. B. Ciratrii, the Vestry Clerk of Brighton, who produced the vestry Wants book, and the monition and d am of the Cassino" Court at IRWIN, dated 26th of October, 1847. He read the documents. The last lien timed was • monition to the churchwardens of Brighton to call • vestry meeting on the 9.1 i of December, to maks a rate for the repair of the churches of Bt. Nicholas and Bt. Peter, and to defray the expenses of the celebration of dines worship therein. He also produced a notice of a meeting which the churchwardeas issued in pursuance of this monition._ Juts Bauman, clerk to the vestry clerk, deposed that be posted • cot, of the notice at the doer of the parish church, on the Sunday marring before Cue meeting, and that he 'swamp) posted at the doors of all the other places of wor auip in the town connected with the establiAment.—Cross esamined: I only posted the cue at the old church. I saw the others after the) were pieced. I know they were copies, as I had examined them the previous day, and saw my mark on them. They were posted by the crier. SAWS discussion having ensued as to the manner in which the notice had been served, Mr. CLAIM' read the minutes of the vestry meet ing, whin state thatthe notice of the meeting, and the esti mate, limier been read to the meeting, Mr. Cony moved, and Mr. Williams w courted, that a rate of ace penny in the pound be made. Mr. Trego moved, and Mr. Feistseconded, ea amendment, "That the reparvion and clean keeping or the churches of St Nichtlae and St. Peter be defrayed by voluntary contributions, according to the statute law of the land.". The chairmun decided that the amendment w.s ulrytd, end refused to pot it to the meeting. William Conlemham, Beg., moved, and Mr. ham Lee seconded, an amendment, " That the consideration of nit church rate he adjourned to this day six months." The chairman decided that the last amendment WAS illegal, and refused to put it to the meeting. The motion for a rate was then put to et show of bands, and the chairman declared that the number of votes for it were 47, and the number of votes against it were 90; and he declared further, that the votes against the motion were illegal and thrown away, and tht re. lore that the motion was carried. Mr. Clarke also pr. dated the rate made in pursuance of the InOti,ll, u hi& he stated was signed at the meeting, and from which it appeared the amount due from Mr. Feist was 34. 104., and be stated that the validity of the rata had not Leen disputed in the Noel • tint Court. Bvi •••.ce was then given of the rate hoeing been de manded end refused. Mr. BOYKE CT then asked to see the information, and nine told that there was no information in writing, he took an ob,ection to the form of the summons that there wee no Vaintilf, and therefore there was nobody on whose behalf they could issue a distress warrant. Mr scorr (a magistrate)—We have power to amend the summon. it en objection be taken in point of form. Mr. ISOYILETT—It be nut in point of form ; it is in cub stance.—The bench overruled the objection. Mr. BOY KBT r said he bad now to submit that this sum win must be Mitigated. He thought he had shown them sufficient en the present occasion to convince them that this was a rate bad in law, and he might now state to the ns that it was his client's intention to dispute the validity of the rate, and that he had a bona fide incaution to dispute it in the Ecclesiestical Court. Mr. BELLA.MY (a magistrate)—You must give us rea sons. You WO" us an usenson. Mr. bOYKE fT—I am not b mud to give a reason. I say it is my client's intention to dispute it ; and he hereby, by me, doss dispute the validity of the rate, and he has a bona foie intention to dispute if he be cited to the Eccle siastical Court. lam not Weed to wive you a reason. Mr. Boykett then quoted the ease of " Shepherd v. Miles " (5 Mettle and Selwyn, 248), in which it was held that if a de tendaot stated before the magisir tee that he intended to dispute the rate bona fide, that was sufficient to oust them of their jurisdiction. lie also cited the can of `• Dale against Pollard," in which a notice was given by the defendant that lee protected against a church-rate made in Bradford; chit he should not contest the rate in the Ecclesiastical Court, but that he should commence aetions against the magistrate' , ; and it was held that the magistrates were not justified, after that notice, in Leming a warrant. Mr. CARPENTER—Suppme we decide for the va lidi:y of the rate ? Mr. Boykett—Then I shall require the wnole volume of evidence to be gone through in each parti cular ease till I can find one to hang a peg on to your saint tacticn. Mr. CARPENTER—Then is this particular cam, we, think that the notice which has been given by the solicitor for the defendant comes sufficiently within the act of yarns. I tweet to oust us of our jurisdic ion. Previously to the act of 5' Ge rge 111. the only jurisdicion in cases of church-rates was the &yield ,sticsl Court. This act of parliament gave summery jutiadicti into the magistrates on application by the cburchwerdetts. The seventh section gives the magistrates power over church-rates, the validity of which has not been questioned in any ecclesiastical court ; but it is provided, that it the validity of the rate be disputed, the jumices shall for bear. In this case the defendant has elven notice that if cited to the Bcciesiestioal Coast, be will dispute the rate, and as a reason for diepu'tng the rate, be gives this,—that the rate was made by virtue of a miaority. Mr. BOYKE IT —As one of the resents. Mr. CARPENTER—It seems to us quite sufficient that we believe he lives tee a bona lute notice that he intends to dispute the rate if cited in t. e Beeiniamietal Court. Deader these eireamstanees our jurisdiction is ousted. In former easee when we have asked whether they intended to dispute the rate in the Ecclesiastical Court, they said no, and some said they would bring actions against the magistrates. That we did not care about, but in this particular cue we think the defendant has brought himself within the act of parlia ment. We mint have made the order, and then have re need the warrant of distress, and then it would have been for the chutehwardena to have applied for a mandamus, but it would have been an inconsistent and improper thing 1 r us to do, and the Court of Queen's Bench would have been aimstisfied with us for our being brought before them in that irregular way. Mr. BOYKETT asked Mr. Cornford if he would adjourn the others, and ire the case on this particular one ? Mr. CORNFORD said no; he would take all the awes in which Mr. B kelt was retained. The other partMe summoned—via., W. Constable, Moses Whitton, W. S. Tankard, G. K Thatcher, M. Mosley, Leeman Abrahams, and Richard Michell—wen then seve rally called, and Mr. Boykett admitted as against them the evidence taken in the first ease, subject to the object/natal' , n by him en is. Kr. CARPENTEReaId their decision in these eases would be the same as in the first one. Mr. CORNFORD announced that it was not the Intention of the churchwardens to proceed against the other parties summoned, until them cams had been decided in the Rale simical Cour:.

BLOWING UP OF THE SHIP MINERVA. Intelligence was received yesterday, at Voyd's, of the fearful destruction by fire of the ship Minerva, Carole Hoveudon, muter, with 200 barrels of gunpowder on board. The circumstances of her lies an thus reported by the mas ter. The ship left Sydney on the 6th of February last, bound for Portland B y, with peeseagers and a raiseelle aeons cargo, among *huh, besides the powder, was • large quantity of rum, brandy, and sulphur.

REFUSAL OF THE MAGISTRATES TO GRANT IN FORMATIONS AGAINST THE ORANGEMEN. On Thursday the little town of Osi4lsmaili= was the scene of considerable excitemen', owing to the fact that a large number of persons had been summoned to appear be fore the petty . swims court on that day, to answer to a *barge et hewn bum present at an unlawful assemblage on the 12th of July last. The " unlawful assemblage " in question was the proceseloa of Oraegemen from which the unfortunate catastrophe at Ihilly'obrae melted, and of which so meek has been already said sad written. The wisher of room who came into Cestlewellan, either as aommed or mamas, was extremely large, and the interest which appeared to be felt, in regard to the decision of the bench was intense. The magates mustered uncommeoly strong on the m esa:on, no less than eleven of them occupying the bench, en which Walter Biewick, Eq., Q.C., the learned gentleman to whom the government has entrust. d the conduct of the investigation, was also seated. It having been intimated as a son as the court at that Mr. Berwick was in the neighbour hood, and that it was his intention to be present, the nun postponed the opening of the proceed age until his arrival, watch took plan shortly before twelve o'clock.

Mr. Ruthven, of Downpatrick, the crown solicitor, attended to conduct the business on the part of the prosecu tion. Mr. Rea, of Belfast, was also present, to watch the proceedings on behalf of the next of kin to the parties who lost their Jives in the conflict. The Orange party were repre sented by Mr. Kowa (banner), and Mr. Morris, of Lurgan (solid tor). The following parties were first called :—Robert Davison, Jams Paxton, Wham M`Dowell, Alexander Tremble, Robert Green, 7ames Davison, and Wiliiam Wright. They all, with the exception of Paxton and Green answered to their name, aid the regular proof of service of summons wee given, in regard to them. Mr. Ruthven said it became his duty in the first plass to sell the attention of the court briefly to what was the ow keowledged law of the country touching tumultuous amen- Wks. He did this, not with a view of taking up the "AIM time, nor of making a speech, but rather for the wpm* of assentiug a principle by which the alter proceedings of that day and if other days might be guided. The criarge Ia tee present instance was 'notelet: that of riot, and that of tea lawful assembly. The learned gent'. man, at great length, explained the law of the ease, and cited several authorities to anew that such an assembly as he would be able to prove took plus on the 12th July, was decidedly Wesel. It such should prove to be the opinion of their woiships, it would be the duty of the court to grant informations against the . parties who appeared before it, t ven although he would be un able to trace any specific act of outrage to the hands of any uue of them. Mr. Rea observed, that he appeared to Bet collaterally with Mr. Ruthven, on behalf of the next of kin of the partite killed by the proussionists. Mr. Keuwn formally protested against Mr. Rees inter. Wench Mr. Keown then rose, and addressed the bench, in refer ence to the point of law, on behalf of the accused. Ile totally denied the accuracy of tee statement put forth by Kr. Ituthver, touching the illegality of the assembly, and cited wriat he conceived to be a just dehuition of tumultuous aesemblages. He should not fret ceded upon t 3 tree pus on the attention of the court were it not for the observation of Mr. Ruthven, to the effect that the assertion of a principle war contemplated in the decision of the bench. It was not en illegal assemblage in which his cheats took part in he was prepared to show. The leaned gentleman went on, at cin. sidereble lerigth, to quote cases in which dicta had been given as to the nature and character en illegal gatherings. Among others, he was proceeding to cite the "Queen V. O'Coani4l," and others, when— Mr. Quin (one of the magistrate.) inquired as to whether or not there was a report of the cue ? Mr. Known replied tnat he had left the book at home. It was a cue, however, with which every one was well acquainted. Mr. Quin—l, for one, am not. Mr. Keown—Then all 1 can say is, that you are more ignorant than must people. Mr Quin—Perhaps I am so; I am certainly ebliged tie Mr. Keuwa fur the compliment, but I shell Lot forget my self so tar as to do what I might with great justice, retort the charge of ignorance. Mr. Rea—Every lawyer should know that the charge aeainet Mr. O'Counell was fur conspiracy, and not for un lawful use nobly ; but I must protest agamst the learned counsel citing cases nuns his imagination or rec illection when he has not taken the trouble to bring the reports with him, and I hope the court will agree with Mr. Quin, and not per mit more time to be occupied in this way. Mr. Keown and Mr. Marna (both with great apparent I excitement) again protested against Mr. Reis's' right to in terfere, and Mr. Rea persisted in asserting it. at the same time intimating that he was quite ready to argue the ques tion as to whether he should be heard or not, at once. It was not, however, then decided, and Mr. Keown proceeded with his address, contending fur the perfect right of his clients to assemble as th. y did, as they had not assembled for the purpose of breaking the peace, and urgii.g that the arms which they carried were brought merely tor self de fence, and not for any improper or illegal motive. Mr. Morris, on the part of his clients, suggested that the granting of informations against the parties would be super- ROMIG at least, inasmuch as there elated rio danger of their shrinking from trial. The crown had it in its power to file informations against them at an time. Mr. Quin remarked that fi ling es officio informations would have two inconveniences with it, it would he a most unusual course, and it would delay the hearing of the case till another assizes. Mr. Known made an offer to the crown prosecutor to the effect that he would undertake for the appearance of his clients when called on, and urged that such an undertaking would answer all the ends contentilated. Mr. Ruthven refused to take any undertaking of the kind. Mr. It-a here made some otwervation, and was interrupted by Ur. Keowa, who reiterated his s:atement to the effect that the learned gentleman had no right to claim a hearing. The magistrates consulted together, and Lord Roden put the question to each of their worships as to whether or not he should be heard. The meimity were of optui in that he should act, and his lordship made Mr. Rea an intimation to that effect. Mr. Res—Surely your lordship will not decide against my being heard, until you have listened to what I as say la support of my right. Lord Roden—Mr. Rea, the court has already decided it. Mr. Rea—Than all I an say is, with respect to your lord ship, that the practice is different from anything to which I have been heretofore aetrostomed. Mr. Berwick having addressed an intimation to Mr. Rea to the effect that he should yield to the decision of the majo rity of the bench, Mr. Rea said—Oh, then sir, I won't contest tie point farther. Year opinion shill guide me. I shall take another opportunity of bringing oat my axe. James Ponsonby Hill, sub-inspector of police, was then called. He detailed some of the loading features of the —ovum which took place on the day of the proowsion, 'Red severs' of those charged as having been present. A desultory conversation ensued between the advocates on the respective sides, and the coact was about to proceed to the consideration of the question of law as to whether or not the informations on the case as it stood should be granted against the accused, when Mr. Berwick requested to be allowed, before the conetcame to a decieioa, to offer a remark or two on the law of the case. He did not intend to take any part in the decision Welt, but, fr ,ne the courtesy exhibited towards him by the magistrates on a former occasion, he was confident he would be permitted to offer a suggestion as to the law of the case upon which the bench might or might not act as it deem ed advisable. It appeared to him very clearly that, whether the government did or old not give them any assi,tance, they were bound Ia this case to take the informations. The law had been elderly laid down on both aides. It was a portion of the mamas law of the land that whoa any number of persona collected together under such circumstances u to create terror sad alarm in the minds of her Majtesty's subjects, the assembly_ so constituted became an illegal body. Mr. Bill had stated the circumstances in evidence with which they were bound to deal, and that gentleman's statement, in his opinion, was sufficient to show that the assembly was decidedly illegal in the sense contemplated. He was actually bound to appeal to government beforehand for such force as might enable him to obviate the risk of a bruch of the peace. Wit was • procession, in his judgment, calculated to create in people's mind feelings of terror and alarm, and here were the mili. tory—dragoons, and infway;elid police sent to assist in the work of keeping the Owe. There was no human being who would not admit it to be an assembly calculated to create terror and alarm in the minds of the people. There was another point in connexion with the law of the case which appeared to him to have been overlooked by Mr. Ruthiren, when that gentleman was making his statement Tele was the tact as proved by Hill, of the known intention of the parties who formed the procession to go round by a certain road in returning. Mr. Hume protested, first, against having it laid down that the precautions of the authorities to preserve the peace ocuestituted evidence agst his clime; and, secondly, against the statement in reference to the intention of the porde.. Mr. Berwick resumed—Then could be no doubt whatever 1 that to return by a certa in way was the intention of the par- ties in the useably, and further...to resist by fore, of arms any attempt made to oppose them in carrying out sirh aa intention. There was se demin of the illegalig of the act en the pert of 1, _Mama esnylag themselves a Ile way he bad described. Lord Reiss Yuman bad peeved before him that an appliestioa wee um& to iodine them to Übe another road, and that he bad repied to the offset that he had not influence with them to befog it about. Lord Pudan—l addax; ream for doing so to the state tient. Mr. Berwick umeaud—They ware bound to act spry the 01hour:trans* th: monaa sorssistoro iatletc _ *ma nsw itraim ,;o bich d t it itht sp we p as e p a n tsd reet L ; It was a quite sepanta innetiderution which was sought to be aimed up with ft, mealy, as to whether or not the govern ant Irsi mat kultitetiess on the subject it was highly im portant ilmt Walk a repreasatauon snout' net fa before the people in this part of the country. it MOALA Le sang to have it said, that because government may, on particular omasioes, refrain from punishing particular otTencet, that all such offences are committed directly under their sanction. He threw out this for the consideration of the bench, not with any desire to dictate to the magistrates, and he had no inten tion of acting himself. He had some fourteen years' expe rience in the administration of the criminal law in two im portant counties, and the result of that experience led Mints the conclusion, that there engbt not to be the slightest doubt as to the propriety of taking the Information.. He did mat say this to prejudice the men in court, who, lot a',l the bench knew yet, might be innocent; but he repeated that the eik &see bad gone to show that the procession had be -0 attended with eireamstances calculated to create great terror and alarm in the mind of a very gallant man ; that the parties had evinced their intention of taking a certain route, and resistieg with foros If they were opposed; and on these grounds he thought the application should bs granted. Mr. Shaw remarked that the accused had been summoned far a riot. Mr. Berwick acquiesced in the observation, and proceeded to state what was the law as regarded riots. L , rd Roden wished to offer a few words as to the view which he took of the ease. He mutably did think, atter hearing all that had been urged on both sides, and the able address of Mr. Berwick—after hearing all this he still felt that the position in which the magistrates were placed was one of great difficulty. He was extremely anxious to do that which was just to all paean in the case, and that feeling increased the difficulty of his position. He could not help ref, rring to some circumstances connected with the case, and It. believed there never were men placed in a position of greater hardship than those now before them, whose liberty was sought to be taken away from them, and whom they were called upon to Deed for trial. Mr. Quin—l beg leave to state I entirely dissect from the view which Lord Haden is expressing about the hardship of the case. I think— Lard Rodeo believed that it would be only decent to allow him to proceed with his observes lens, and the genilemaa would have lull opportunity of stating his own views in his I tars. Mr. Quin—When I do I shall confine myself to the reed question. Lord Roden cntinued—ln the year 1848, when rebellion was rite in this country, the government was anxious to call out the spirit of all the iudividuala in the tend who would show a readiness to put down rebellion. The 12th of July occurred about the period when disaffecti .nwu at its height, and every exertion was made by the gentry as well as others to back the government, and thus show in the best possible manner the feelings which they cntertsiaed in r. gard to the rebellion then raging in the country. The Orangemen met that year under circumstances ex .ctly similar to thine wee der which they assembled on the last annivers try, and so far from there being any hindrance to the eels bunion of it, any damp upon their pm:tedium or blame upon those who took part in them they were treated in Reel a way as would le ad one to say that they were encou need in the processions in which they were e: gaged. On the 17. h of March last, there was a inuring of the opposite as Ribbon party, they met together with aims in their hands, and und.or circumstances calculated to show they were under ne dread, they =retail over the country, cr ass d many die ' trims, end actually fired shots iu his tLerel It .den's] village. I The government was informed of all this, and yet no word I had ever been spoken in order to lead the people at large to believe that their proceedings were contrary to the law of the land, ter to lead thuee who took part in such pi...messier,. to know that such participation was an ill, gel act. When the twelfth came rotted this year, and the p ople took a similar comae, however, a prosecution was sent eleven, through Mr. Ruthven, to ask them as magistrates to deprive these men of their liberty. It era true that Mr. B. reek bad promised that there should be usothieg beyond a nominal punishment. Mr. Berwick-1 beg your pardon, my lord, I could pro mise nothing of the kind. My only meaning was this, that if such a cue came before me ,or trial, sal that there ap peared nothing more &Reheat them than what has coots out here in evidei ce to-day, I would not consider them liable to more than a nomival punishment. Lord Roden went on to ask whether it must not be re gelded sea puhishenent for these men to be coming Lite that town from their distant homes to trial? Was it no panishount that they should be put to the (ueue of hiring counsel to defend them, or finding securities for their eppearance et the sessises Mould it be supposed that such things were no punishment ? For his own part, and as a plain men and not a lawyer, and after hearing a great deal trim both sides he confess.. d that he telt it his duty as a magistrate to refuse the application. At the same time he could not help lament lug thee the government had seen fit to bring forward such a charge after her Majesty's visit to this country, which had put dow n id a greet measure the angry feeling which was pr. 'waling in thla country. He repeated be could not but lament that the present prom filing had been instituted. How, ver, he d.d feel that ender thi se difficulties it was his duty to act for the best, and pursue what he conceived the most honest course, and that was to refuse to join in °pl uton with Mr. B. rwick. The refusal id the present instance would not prevent the further couple', nu en of the case ; and however mir to might do he could ant consent to what he bs listed would be an act of great injustices—namely, the granting o' the informations sought. As the chairman of the court be bed deemed it but proper thus briefly to state the reasons which led to the decision he had just given. Rev. Mr. Fuele, moiler of the bench, said he felt it bis duty as a magistrate when a doubt arose to give the benefit of it to the party accused. Seeing that there was what he conceived to be . very grave doubt in the present instance, be, for one, could not agree to take the information. Mr. Quin said he could only express the opinion of a , single memb •r of that bench. He would not attempt to follow the noble chairman into the very various and varied mew of matter which he had pre before the court. The only question non. before them was one purely of law,namely, whether or not the procession was unlawful ? It had been stated in evidence that previous to the Let 12th July there had been apprehension entertained, and that large preesu , ti.ns had to toe taken to protect the couwry from riot and outrage. Had it not been thus treated, the consigner ees might have been much more fearful than thi y hail been. It appeared that a collision did actually take place on tile evening of the day in question, and that five persons lost their live. Had these people had distinct intimation that the whole eseemblege was illegal, es the learned counsel had just put it, the chances are in favour of the supposition that these people would still be living. There was evidence that 300 or 400 of these per sons we re armed with guns and other weapons, which they IMO determined to use if opposed. He had no doubt that such were the lei liege in the breast of ClfTy man who was present on the occasion. He would go farther, however, and would say that the leader of the processien, those who were present at it, and those who lent it their ccuntenance, were equally gull", and should be equally amenable. His motion was, that the opinion of a jury should be taken upon the conduct of the whole of them. He repeated that he I did not feel at all called upon to notice the various topics introduced by the chairman. Tree votes were then taken, and there appeared for taking the information—Captain Tighe, Messrs. Quin fd`G dinner, Lindsay end td'Cance ; against—the chairmen (Lord Roden), Messrs. Anneeley, Fords, Johnston (H. /1.), Johnstone (Rev. G. M. D.) and Shaw. The information was accord ingly refused. Mr. Rea then rose, and said that as the court had decided against baring him, without hearing his argument, and since be had been compelled to—that which every young lawyer feels such a difficulty in doing—bold his tongue— (lsughti r)—he had a motion to make. It was this , : That the chairman should take a record of the decision, mid the manner in which each magistrate had voted. Mis object was, that there might exist some authentic record of the sraneaction, in case of his laying the matter before the autho ride s at the Castle, who would, doubtless, if the bench had gone wrong, be happy to instruct it. He had been lately successful in obtaining for the Mayor of Belfast some useful instruetinns from the law officers of the grown, sad he would not for the world, in such a case as this, that the record in patios shnuld not be forthcoming. Lord Roden was obliged to Mr. Rea for his kindnees. (A laugh.) He ahead take care, however, to keep the record as requested. Mr. Rea was afraid that his lordship would look upon him as too treublesome, butts had always endeavoured, as far as be could, in the discharge. of his duty, to be courteous to his lordship even when differing from him resolutely, but he hoped always rt snectfully. Lord Roden (smiling)—lndeed, Mr. Res, I won't say any thing as to the trouble • you have always been c.,urteous to nee, and I am satisfied intended always to he so. Mr. Rea then said that, as has lordship had been so polite, he would just tresepass on him a little further—(laughter) — by /Iquening him to sign two summonses which he would now hand up to the bench. Bosh were directed to Mr. John Jardin, publican of Retbfriland, and a leader of the Orange tm King,h e oargrey,e' snitjust deceased; o f whosed P i e t Pete r 7td h King,a bo ws ,t b the y of t h at ehoa td h I h a g eb ec:haeuet: cou rt. the a m. firedaC tay.noi suit not a t u brother in sso m nhd o n t n o w s a rd u t ri e k wrecked.:otf The charge against Mr. Jardin was, that on the 12th of July be was one of en unlawful assemblage of evil-diapowd persons, by whem Patrick King was murdered, and - Scud's boom wrecked. Lord Roden (after reading the summonses carefully)— Don't these contain almost the same charge we have deeMed upon ? Wh should there be another trial next petty ses sions day ? Would it not he better to have done with the case and allow a good feeling to grow up among the people ? Mr. Res—Your Lordship cannot be possibly more anxious to unite the two sections of the Irish people than I am. I have made every effort to do so; and shall continue so to est. But whatever m own private feelings, I must do my duty to my clients, who have instructed me to have certain per sons returned for trial to the assizes, there to gnawer for the r conduct, on the 12th of July, before a jury of the county.
