The public will learn with regret that Queen Adelaide —whose piety and benevolence have endeared bit to all classes of the community, from the duo of her arrival in this country—expired yeeerday (Sun day) morniog at seven minutes to two o'clock. b n s. tg ir‘y the following bulletin of her Majesty's With was issued.

" Bet )(sleety the Queen 1) r expired at s-esul missies before two o'clock, on Sunday morning, the 2ad of Decemb,r, without any apparent suffering, and retaining ha composers of mind to the lair. " DAVID DAVIES, M.D. " RICHARD BRIGHT, M.D. At a later hour a London Gazette Extraordinary was published, containing the melancholy announce ment in the following to rm s : " Whitehall, December 2, 1849. " This morning, at seven minutes before two o'cl ;ck, her Hsi sty the Queen Dowager deputed this life, at Stamm. Pthvy, to the great grief of her Majesty and of all the royal after a panful and pr.tracted Unless, which Ae bon with exemplary patience. The loss of this molt exeelleat Zeros will be deeply mourntd by all classes of her Ma. • subjects, to whom her many eminent virtues rel. dried her the object of univeval cretin and affection." Captain Bedford left the Priory at an early hour yesterday morning for town. Expresees were for warded to her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert ; to her Royal Highness the Babe.% of Kent, at Fregmore-house ; end to their Boyd Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cam bride. at Kew. It:Wigan' of the mournful event was also com municated yesterday forenon to the Right lion. Sir Oeor,:se Grey, h.r Niajesty's principal Secretary of State for the Home Depactinent, and to the Lord Mayor. Tie Qom and Prince Albert paid their last visit to the Dowager Queen on the 22nd ult., betas leav-' Inc for Osborne, and during last week her Roysl Righnese the Duchess of Kent twice visited the Waitron Queen. Durham the last week the bullc• tins ise ad by her Majesty's physician denoted that little if any hopes renisioe 1 of her prolonged exist ence, and on Friday her condition excited the greatest alarm. On the forenoon of that day a dis tressing change took piece, and the immediate rela- tions of Her - Majesty were hastily summoned to her chamber. Her Majesty, however, rallied, and on the following morning (Saturday) was apparently more cheerful. At seven o'clock in the evening another serious change took place, which denoted beyond any doubt the approach of death. After this her Majesty never rallied, went off in a calm slumber, and, aver a feeble cough, which occasioned the bursting of one of the vessels of the longs, her Majesty expired at pre cisely seven minutes before two o'clock. The great bell of St. Paul's, as is customary on the demise of a member tf the royal family, tolled soon after the news was received in the City. A deep gloom was cast over the village of Stan more yesterday, from the mournful death of her Majesty, whose liberal charities to the poor of that district, as well as her natural unostentatious deport ment to her leas elevated fellow-creatures, had ren dered her deeply beloved by all classes of the inha bitants. The bell of the var.sh church of Staunton tolled heavily during the aternocm. No allusion was made to the death of her Majesty by the officiating clergyman either in the morning or afternoon service. It is quite unnecessary to notice the charitable dis position of her late Majesty further than to state that she bad given annually above 20,0001. to different charitable purpose!, and was connected with all the nrincipal charities in London. The deceased Queen Dowager Matilde Louisa Them Caroline Amelia, was the eldest daughter of George Frede rick Charles, the late nice*/ Duke of Sue Merano/en sad the Princess Louisa Eleanor, laughter of Christian Albert, Prince of Hotreolohe Lespaburg. She was horn on the 13th of August, 1792, asd menial the late Ring William IV. (then Duke of Clarence) on the Ilth ofJely, 1818, and by that beloved sovereign, who died 20th June, 1837, she had issue two daughters—the Princess Charlotte Augusta hire and died 27th Much, 1819, and the Princess Blisibeth Georgian& Aielaide, hors 20 t h December, 1820, and died March 4, 1821. Her late Majesty was the eldest of three children (two daughten and a eon), left by the late Duke of Saxe Meinineren at his death in December, 1803. The Duke of Sue Meininges, by his will and testament, left the guardianship of his three children and the adminis trative' of the decal estates to his pious and estimable widow ; and by kw rudest management the little state of Mehra', gee escaped the troubles to which the larger ptinci ulitit a were exposed by the invasion of the French under Napoleon, se that she and her people remained is undi• turbed possession of domestic peace. While in the enjoy ment of this tranquillity her daughters, the Princesses Ade laide and Ids, whom she had educated, with strict regard to religion and morals, is the usual branches of polite and useful learning, waisted their mother in establishingschool. for the eduestion of the poorer classes and in providing otherwise for the aged and indigent. The late Queen Charlotte, it is mid, had long entertained thoughts of securing the head of the Princess Adelaide for one of her sons, the virtuous and unostentatious habits of that prince's having reached the can of hey Majesty at the English court. After the marriage of the Princess Eliza bete—third daughter of George the Third—with the Hereditary Prince of Remo Hemberg, in the spring of 1818, there arose a feeling of anxiety that the unmarried princes should contract matrimonial alli dices to relieve the nation from the prospect of .• a broken lineage and a doubtful throne." The Doke* of Clarence sad Cambridge wen the first ti acquiesce in the views of the governmest sad the private wishes of the aged Queen. The name of the Princess Adelaide of Sue Menungen as the future wife GI the Duke of Clarence then, for the first time, came before the public. A correspondence had previously taken place, and on the 19th of April, 1818, a royal message was delivered to the Houses of Lords sad Commons, announeisg the consent of the Prince Regent to the marriage of the Duke of C,arenet sad the Prisons of Sue Meininges, and the Duke of Cambridge and the Princess of Hew, and asking a suitable pecuniary provision from the House of Commons. Under those circumstances, the Earl of Liverpool made certain propositions in the Lords which were agreed to, atter an abortive amendment moved by Lord Kin . Viscount Castle reagh made a similar 'tamest in the es to the propased additional allowances, but the proposititin of the ministry was rejected by a large majority: Viscous% Castle reagh then informed the bow* that he believed he might say that the negotiation for the marrage of the Duke et Clarence was at an end. The Doke of Clarence, however, was induced by his friends to revoke his determinatios, and the consequence was that the correspondence with the Princess of Sue Ileiningen was renewed. The Princess Adelaide of Sane Meiningen, accompanied by her venerated mother, the Dowager Duchess of Saxe Meisiogen. arrived in England from Germany on the llth of July, 1818, circumstances hula! prevented the Duke of Clarence hum repairing to the Continent. The marriage of thenyal duke and the Prince's Adelaide took place on the 13th (two days after her reaching the shores of her adopted country), at the palace at Kew, the Queen Charlotte (then suffering from her fatal Muss), the Prince Regent, and all the members of the Royal Family and great oflitto.n of state, witnessing the religious solemnity, which, from the illness of the Queen, was conducted in a private manner.

The Dodoes ref Clarence shortly afterwards removed to the dowager duchess's beautiful villa at the baths of Liebenstein The waters bad a beneficial effect on the duchess, who, cn the restoration of her health, was aszious to return to Busload with her royal husband ; sad, in October, set out on the homeward journey. The duchess suffered considerable fatigue by the journey, occasioned chiefly by the badness of the roads, and on her arrival at Dunkirk she or.ivarried, and was &pis taken seriously ill. In soneutenes, her arrival in England was necessarily delayed, and on landing at Dover, eo weak wee her royal highness that she could not bear the fatigue of fling . to London by short stages. At the suagestion of her normal attendants, she accepted an invitation from the Earl of Li verpool (then Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports), to take up her residence at Widmer Castle until she had sufficiently re covered. The duchess stayed there &boot six weeks with the royal duke, who never felt her during her illness. 'the royal duke and duchess then re paired to Bushy, to enjoy the tranquillity so necessary for the recovery of the duchess's health. On the 10:h December, 1820, the Duchess of Clarence gave birth to a daughter at Clarence House. The birth of the princess was premature, but the infant promised to lie. , aid was baptised Elizabeth. The hopes of the succession in that quarter were soon drained to be blighted. The princess expired, after a few hours' illness, on the 4th of March, 1821. The Duchies of Clarence was so deeply . filleted at this calamity, that fears were entertained for her own life. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence, in June, 1822, again v'si'ed Germany, and in March, 1825, their royal hidhoes-es embarked at Woolwich for the continent to participate in the festivities in honour of the 'marriage of the reigniog Duke of Sags Minnie gen (only brother of the doehess)asid Prince's Mary of Hines at Cassel. At the end of May they visited the Doke and Duchess of Saxe Meiningen, and neat repaired to be celebrated baths at Ems, and while rudest there the duke was attacked by his asthmatic complaiot. Soon alter his recovery in July, their royal highnesses went on a visit to the Queen of Wurtemberg at Deinach, her summer chateau in the Black Forest. After the celebration of the ducher's birthday at Meiniogen, they de parted to witness the grand Prussian military reviews in the neiohbourhood of Coblents, where they met the Dukes of Cumberland and Cambridge among the many ihustrious Princes assembled there for those military maccouvres, at the conclusion of which they proceeded immediately to Antwerp, in which port the loyal yacht was awaiting their &nivel. The day prior to sailing the royal duke and duchess RIM a superb entertainment on hoard to the King of Prussia, the King and Queen of the Netherlands, and a numerous company of the highest rank. The royal yacht sailed for the Thames, but owing to a dreadful storm that arose the vowel was obliged to make for the Yannouth Roads, which she fortunately reached in safety the next day. The last visit the late King made to the Continent with his amiable Consort was in 1526. Early in the following year the death of the Duke of York occurred, which clued the Duke of Clarence in the position of heir presumptive to the throne, shortly after which a jointure of 6,0002 to the Ditchers of Clarence was agreed to by the House of Commons. On the Right lion. George Canning succeeding to the helm of public affairs the Duke of Clarence was appointed Lord High Admiral, and the duchess during her residence at the admiralty dispensed the hospitalities in a princely style. In one of the duke's plofesnorial tiCtIIIiOILS along the south and west coasts the duchess, not having an in clination to the aquatic tour, followed by land, and visited ',nerd of the nobility whose teats were in her route to the west, and finally met the duke in Wale., who while there received the news of the death of his personal friend Canning, which called him and the duchess hastily to Lon don. On the 27th May 1828, the Duchess of Clarence em barked at Woolwich, to meet her mother, the Duchess (D Anger) of Saxe Meiningen, at Calais, who remained during the summer on a visit to her daughtrr D and soa-in law. In the month of Sept e m ber, the same year, e Du n e of Clarence, owing to differences with the Duke of Welling ton, resigned his situation as Lord High Admiral, and sho;tly after that circumstance the Duchess (Dowager) of Sue Meiniegen departed for Germany. The Duchess of Clarence and her hothead, after leaving the Admiralty, re sided in retirement chiefly at Busby-park. I r was during their residence there, namely in June 1830, that the melancholy tidings of the death or George IV. at Windsor Castle were brought to the royal duke and duchess by the late Sir Henry Helloed. The fact of the Duke of Clarence's accession to the throne was shortly &forwards confirmed by the Duke of Wellington, then first Lord of he Treasury, waiting on the Duke of Clarence, in his offi cial capacity, and announcing the decease of the king. Queen Adelaide accompanied the king to Bushy-park on the 29th of July, on which occasion the rangenbip of that royal domain was bestowed on her Majesty for life, by the King. Her Majesty, from her long residence there, had previously expressed a strong attachment to the place. Oa the 30th of the billowier( month the hag end queen arrived at the Royal Pavilion at Brighton, mad it was during the sojourn of the court at that marine palace that their majesties visited Lewes. Sir John Shelley, then M.P. for the town, delivered • congth4datory address from the inha bitants to their majesties. The king, after a rather length ened reply, .n reference to Queen Adelaide said—" Among the merry favourable circularizes under which Providence tomcatted me to ascend the throne of this country, there is none for which I feel more grateful,. upon which 1 set a higher value, than that it had morosely been my happy fortune to be married to an individual so excellent in every amiable and good fulls,. In this country, character finds its way forth in the world,ptcl is ►elways known. I mast take the opportunity of speaking what I am most sincerely convinced of—that her Majesty, who site before you, per suns every estimable quality mandated to give worth and lustre to her exalted nodes." The last miniatetiel act of the Duke of Wellington's go nommen% was the introduction of a bill by the Lord Chan cellor Lyadhurst for supplying the exigency of the govern ment in case of the king'a demise, and the measure provided that in the event of a posthumous child of King William aid Queen Adelaide, the Queen Dowager should then be its guardian and regent during the minority, and it gave a cor responding power to the Duchess of Kent during the mino rity of her daughter. Os the let August, 1831, the Queen assisted her Royal Consort is opening New London-bridge, and on the day fol lowing • bill received the Royal Assent granting in the event of Queen Adelaide surviving the king a provision of 100,0001. per annum for life. Bush Park and Marlborough Hoses to 641 assigned as residences foe Her Majesty during life. On the Bth of September, is the same year, the coronation of the late King and Queen Adelaide took place at West- Waster Abbey. Is accordance with the wishes of their Majesties, the ceremonial was shorn of the extravagant pageantry and chivalric absurdities which distinguished that of the previous sovereign, yet the inauguration was imposing and not attended by an enormous expense. In the month of July, 1834, Queen Adelaide embarked at Woolwich for Germany, for the express purpose of visiting her venerable mother, the Dowager Duchess of Saxe flainiagen, whose health at that period began to decline. Nearly the last occasion that Queen Adelaide appeared in public' with the late King was in August, 1835, when their Majesties went in state by_ water to Greenwich Hospital, accompanied by the Lord Mayor and the civic authorities, when their Majesties were entertained by the late Admiral Sir Those Hardy, then the governor of that asylum. On the 19th October that year, Queen Adelaide paid her memorable visit to the ancient city and University of Oxfotd. The King, from indifferent health, was usable to accom pany his illustrious Consort. At the grand nuptials at the theatre of the University, the Duke of Wellington, as Chan cellor, delivered an addran to the Queen, who node an appropriate answer. The bluing cif 1837 was one of mourning for the court. The Quest Adelaide received the distressing information of the demise of her venerated mother, whose health had been Me ths decay several months, dying on the 29th April, hay twinned the age of 68 years. the Queen had recovered (ram that bereavement, the Baal illness of the late King commenced; symp toms which indicated organic dome of the heart Means penetrable, and of a nature never likely to Meld to medical treatment. In reference to the conduct of that illustrious lady during the try ing illness of the late King, the late Archbishop of Canterbury, at a charitable meeting held shortly after the Ewes' of the King, said that " For three weeks prior to hie absolution. the Queen sat by his bedside, performing for him every office which a sick man could require, and depriv ing herself of all manner of rest and refection ; she under went labours which I thought no ordinary woman could en ders; no language can do justice to her meekness, end to the calmness of mind which she sought to preserve before the King, while sorrow was preying on her heart such (An atomy of affection, I think, was one of the moat interesting spectacles that could be presented to • skid desiring to be gratified by the sight of human excellence." As is well known, the King expired in theirnes of his exemplary able and faithful partner. The shock was severe, yet the irrepar bereavement was borne by the sorrowing Queen with the greatest resignation and fortitude. At the funeral of the King the Queen Adelaide was pre sent in one of the royal gloats during the solemn service. The Queen Dowager, then in very delicate health, repaired in the autumn to St. Leonard's-on-Sea, in company with the late Princess Augusta, and there passed the winter, and while there her health became thuotighly_restored. She remained than from the 13th of October, 1837, to the let of Marsh, 1838. Oaths 3rd of October that year, having been advised by her medical attenuate to neon to a more Xenia climate for the winter, her Majesty embarked et Ports mouth on board the laminas, 74 (Captain Loeb), for Malta, attended by the Earl Howe, the Earl and Countess of Denbigh, the Earl a nd Countess .4 Sheffield, and a very numerous retinue, foe that - ' 4 44 &Tenancy.

The Orange report, it would seem, is at length fairly' hatched, and - the shell broken, but at the mo ment that I write (Saturday morning) the bird has not made its appearance, for by way of serving their weekly organ, the Warder, with a bit of " exclusive , " it has been reserved specially for that paper, and although the hour of publication is otherwise invari ably six o'clock, the Warder is to be held back to day until 12—at least no copies are to be permitted to cir culate in town before that hour, lest any of the other Dublin journals, by copying the precious document, should rob them of a portion of their circulation. At the meeting of the Royal Irish Academy, yester day evening, the following illustrious names were added to the list of honorary members. via.:—Ale=. Von Humboldt, Jacob Grimm, Francis Bopp, Richard Lepsius, Precook; Guillaume Guisot, and Leopold Ranks. It was stated, yesterday, that Dr. Grattan, the chairman of the recent " Irish Alliance" meeting, at the Maeic•ball, had received a letter from the Lord Chancellor, demanding explanation preparatory to de prving him of the commission of the peace. The Evening Mail states that two other whigs of distinction—Sir Edward Kennedy, of Johnstown, and Admiral (late Captain Hercules) Robinson, besides " many other whig magistrates," whose names are not mentioned—have signed the address to Lord Roden. The admiral quotes Blackstone, Shakapeare, Brown's Justice of the 'Peace, the statutes of the reign *flames 1., ex., to show that Lord R3den acted very properly u a magistrate, and that the Orangemen were not at all the offending parties. His letter, which is too long for insertion, is, on the whole, a curious piece of l.gal argument, even for an admiral. An Irish "outside" car has just been completed here for the Queen, by order of the Duke of Leinster, her Majesty having expressed a wish to have one when on a visit to Carton-house. uwe any police in the first instance, and therefore one of the brethren war instructed to submit the list to Sir Edward Blskeney; the general examined the list, and wrote a letter to Colonel Browne—this letter he read to the above-mentioned brother —it contained Sir Edward Blakeney's sanction of the list. On a subuquent occation street hats of Orangemen, drawn up with a snow to the de fence of the city, giving their respective residences, were submitted to and highly approved of by the general. The police having seized the arms of some Orangemen at their residences, the Grand M f Dublin, and others of the brethren, celled on Colonel Browne, who wrote orders for their restoration. On one occasion, the arms of as Oraogemen, near Kilmainham, were seised by an inspector of police ; the Grand Secretary of Dublin wrote, in his onkel capacity, to Colonel Browne ; the arms:were restored by the inspector. Numerous instances, of similar character, could be furnished. There was in existenne a body of men, consisting of per sons of various dames and creeds, comprising a very large proportion of the rank, wealth, and intelligence of Dublin, contederated as a Defensive Association. They . were iu ciin stant correspondence with the government; their proceedings were carried on under the direction of government; and they had as their great object to a d the government in tho pr,- servation of the city against the efforts of the disaffected. They, as well as the Orangemen, were earnestly desirous of obtaining arms, but it dose net appear that they obtained, even in one single instance, the object of their desire. Five hundred stand of anns wet. presented to the Orange. men of Dublin—not one stand was granted to the "Defen sive Association." It was not irrational in Orangemen, therefore, placing all these incidents together, to believe themselves especially favoured by the government, or to ac count them confirmatory of the „representations of Colonel Phsire ( hrough whom such favour was conveyed), that he did act as the delegated agent of the government. A letter from this gentleman has appeared in the public prints, which ascribes tee grant of arms to a donor, of whose generosity, at the time of the grant, the Oracgernen of Dublin had no ream to be cognisant. It is stetted that Cap tun Pitt Kennedy himself supplied the sum which had been presented to the Orangemen, as the reply of their application to government. The report then goes into a 'wiles of arguments against such a supposition. It then refers to several communications lempecting the naming of certain provincial lodges : On August 14,h, a deputation attended at the Vic-regal Lodge, with a resolution on the subject of the Secret So cieties' Bill. Mr. Corry Connellan brought out from his Excellency, for answer,that his Excellency, ss far as his iadi vidusl opinion went, was most favourable to the orangemen ; but that he was only an individual member of the govern ment ; that his Excellency would forward the resului ton to the minister, with remarks of his own; but that the dune , taticn might rest satisfied that the government wouli not interfere with the otangemen. Subsequently, the Grand Master of Dublin and others, in an int, rview with Colonel Browne, heard from him a distinct statement in reference to the same bill, that it was not the intention of the govern. meat to molest or interfere with the erangemen ; that they might go on with their organisation. The conclusion of the report is reserved to appear in the Warder of Saturday next. THE ALLEGED ARMAMENT OF THE ORANGEMEN. REPORT OF THE GRAND ORANGE LODGE. Since the above despatch arrived from our Dublin correspondent, he has sent us the report, which we abridge, most of the tuformation it contains having previously transpired. At a meeting of the Dublin Orangemen, where such senti ments were expressed, held en the 13th March, 1848, in Weite.rian Hall, a person at that time unkoon to the Dublin Brethren, sought admission, and was introluced as Colonel R. W. Phaire, ant who represented himself to be (as he in fact bad been) Greed Muter of the Wexford, Or mini:nen. Within a few days after that meeting, Colcnel Phaire waited on the Grand Master and Grand Secretary of the Daidin Orangemen, described himself as acting under the direction of government, and, on behalf of the govern ment, solicited two favours at the bands of the Orangemen of Dublin. One, that they would consent to withdraw an address to the iord Lieutenant, accompanied with resole doss, passed at the mei ling referred to, by which the go vernment would he embarrassed; the other, that they would aid in ()budgie', and would consent to give, such ietelle. genes as they . might acquire, relative to the several move ments of conspiracy in Dublin, about which the government was almost entirely uninformed. The reply of the Orange brethren to the latter was (as might have teen anticipated) that information honourably obtained, and which could ho nourably be given, would be et the command of govern ment ; but that they could not, whatever the advantage or , necessity, act the part of spies ; and as to the address and resolutions, that they might form subjects of negotiation and admii of being remodelled, provided the Orangemen had ample assurances that the government were sincere in their advances. In the course of the negotiations conducted by Colonel Phaire on the part of the government, occasionally mediated by Major Turner, kis excellency the lord lieutenant late master of the horse, and in which persona high in office afforded confirmation of the genuineness of Colonel Pnaire's representatiorth it was in'imated to the Oraiseemen that the Irish government placed much reliance on their courage and loyalty, that in the *vent of an insurrectionary . outbreak,, posts of groat moment would be cenfited to their keeping, and that detachments of the military should be so ordered as to act in concert with them. The Orangemen did not di.coirage such advances on the part of government—they desired only to understand tho roughly the spirit in which they . were made; and after many ins ffectual 'Meths to test that spirit, they at length proposed an ultimatum which brought their negot snots to a sails. factory close. They demanded, as a pr. of that government was sincere, a grant et arms ; they would accept, they said, by way of inetaimeut, a grant o f five hundred stand, or the means of purchasing them. The result of their ultimatum was that a letter was addressed to the gr-nd secretary of the orangeuen of Dublin, by Captain J. I'. Kennedy, rumbl ing that he would arrange to have five hundred muskets, with all their equipments complete, purchased, and consigned to " his own heats." When Colonel Phaire presented himself to the Grand Master and Grand Secretary of Dublin, as a person acting under the direction of government, his representation was confirmed by a communication emanating from his Excel lency's Private Secretary, Mr. Corry Connellan. He expresa. edthe desire of the Lord Lieutenant that the address andl resolutions, adopted at the meeting of March 13th, should be modified. Ihe saute desire was at the gems time can. veyed to the ocangernen by a member of the society, Mr. Stewart Blacker. Shortly after the meeting of the 13th, this gentleman, by request. called on Mr. Cony Connellan, when he (Mr. Conneilan) banded two documents to Mr. Blacker, being the address end the resolutions, signed by the Grand Muter and re Secretary of Dublin, and stated, that the government was embarrassed by the media -1 ths ; and being well disposed towards the Oiangemen, and willing to receive support from them, were reluctant to give • diser.urteous reply, which could not he avoided if the resolutions were premed. Mr. Connellen also stated that be had seen Lord Roden, who thought it would not be difficult to procure that the resolutions should be detached from the adores.. The genuineness of Colonel Phaire's agency . is thus avouched by the identity of his communicatims with those from the government, through other sources. A few days subsequently to this Colonel Phaire requested a private interview with the members of the Grand Lodge of Dublin, at which he again pressed the withdrawal of the address, and received for answer that the Orangemen of Dub lin would not agree to such withdrawal, but would not theist on • reply, provided that arms were given them, as a proof of the good faith of the Lord Lieutenant. This reply Colonel Phaire was commissioned to transmit to the Lord Lieutenant, and to soon alter reported to the same parties the probability of the arms being supplied. He stated, too, that arrange meets were made for forming vatioue depots of arms in Dublin, from which the Orangemen could be supplied without attracting notice. Also, that certain places of ren ds svous suggested by them bad not been approved of by the authorities, as not being most convenient to the points of danger; and he then submitted • list of houses to be occu pied as posts of defence, drawn up by an officer of Engineers (Captain J. P. Kennedy), to whom had been entrusted the arrangements for the protection of the city in case of an in. suttection. It was even stated by Colonel Phaire, that • body of Orangemen were to be admitted into the Castle of Dublin, for the purpose of assisting in its defence. Ent in April, much dissatisfaction was created by Colonel Phaire's stating that the intention to supply the Orangemen with arms had been abandoned, and that the arms were not to be issued from the depots, but to be kept in them until required. It is said that Lord Clarendon's explicit recognition of the " Ondigemen," in hie replies to the addresses of certain pro vincial lodges, bad incurred the censure of the Prime Mi nister, and the probability of such • report was greatly in eressid by the fact, that his Excellency did not spin commit himself publicly to the same expression. Late in the month of April, Col. Phaire exhibited a tanked change in his statements as to the proposed address, and an anxiety on the subject,which led the Dublin brethren to ainelude that • favourable opportunity had come tor pressing the government with their claim for arms; and, in reply to Col. Phaire's envoi request to withdraw the address the answer was, " We must have either the arms, or present the address." Early on the 22nd of the same month, the Grand Muter of Dublin (Mr. David Stuart) was met by ed Major T him down on horseback, who dismounted , and accompani Angliesem-street, and endeavoured to induce him to prevent the adoption and presentation of the address by the Grand Lodge of Dublin, stating that his Excellency, under present eircumstaness. could not give such a reply as would be satis factory to the Orange body. Tue report then goes on with details equally trifling. Soon after a meeting was held between these six persins ; but it was under an obligation not to divulge the conversation which took place. The result, however, was that Major Turner, accompanied by Colonel Phaire, went away with the decision of the meeting. In about two hours Colonel Phalle called en Lord EnLiskillen, with a letter frau Captain J. P. Keneedy, in which he gave his guarantee for the purchase of five hundred stand of arms. The letter was retained by Colonel Phaire, who has published the following, purporting to be • copy of the same : " Dublin, 22nd April, 18th. "Dear Colonel,—l have set on loot,with others, a subscrip tion for supplying arms to the well.affected amongst the lower classes, for the protection of life and property in the aty of Dublin ; and I take upon myself the responsibility, as ter as five hundred stand, in case the subscription should fall short of that, of furnishing L ase t I shall adopt any cause which you recommend to asset:ha the supply ad those five hundred stud of arms, in the shortest time. " Yours faithfully. J. P. KWINZDT." Cheques for 6001., drown in favour of Weil Stuart •, few the Grand Master of Dublin, were accordiogly, within days, resolved from Captain Kennedy. Ms letter was rend at a meeting of the Grand Lodge of Dahlia, _held that evening ; and it was then afired, that the Gland Ledge of Dublin elmild not persist in res motion Milks address to the Lord Lieutenant, in cinseouence of this latter otCaptain Kennedy, by which the boa secured to the Orangemen.

Jobs Thome', son-in-law of the archbishop, and one of his Grace's cluiplains, and the imam el the Rev. Mr. Elliott, another of the chaplains. Immediately sitar the oonclusion of the prayers preceding the Litany, the Rev. 8,. Boult.ee, 8.D., debverad a sermon appropr.ata to the occasion ' taking his test trim the 10th chapter of the G i spel of St. Mark, and part of the 43rd and 4th verges :—" Whosoever wilt be great among you shall be your n.inister, and whcsoever of you shall be the diner., shall Le servant of all." The rev. gentleman concluded a eery impressive disc-curse by pray log that this solemn occa sion might point out to all the imponaut duties they were about to engage in. He prayed tad the teachings suggested by his test might be impressed upon all in this COO IA tr. Lion of lathers in the church, sod that the newly elected prelates In their several capacities might receive from on high ea easy in their holy Olin, and tint they might hod cheeriul submission to wholesome discipline.

The commanion armor was next proceeded with, the bishops-elect pa r ts ot the holy secrameht Wm the hands of the Lord Ptimate. The ceremony occupied upwards of three hours. STRIKE OF ENGINE-DRIVERS ON THE EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY. The engine-drivers on the Batt Lancashire Rail way have tor nearly two months past been in dispute with the directors or the company about grievances which they allege to ester, some of which are certainly of a very novel character, and it is expected that after this evening they will net return to the company's service. It appears that about the middle of October they forwarded • memorial to the manager of the line, not only 0011. , plsiniug of grievances as to hours of labour and amount of remuneration—both very legitimate subjects—bat in which they expressed their dissatisfaction with theta onduct of Mr. Boyle, superintendent of the line, and demded his dismissal. They also demanded that all orders for the en gine-del should be given by the ommotive superin tendent, and that they should not be under the control of the ether principal servants of the company. Tile memorial wee accompanied by separate written notices, signed by all the driven and stokers, stating that unless its condition. were complied with, they would leave their situations at the end of the week. The manager promised to lay the memo rial before the directors, and to inquire as to the prac tice In these matters on other railways. Oa the fontanels Wednesday he met • deputation of the oughts-drivers, when a conference took place, the result of which was a concession to some extent of their demands, with which they declared themselves satisfied. It may b, lareqsafely augured, however, that the dismissal of Mr. le, the inspector, was hardly amongst these concostions. Se wetly, however, the men have sent another memo reiterating thole demand for Mr. Boyle's dismissal, and acquiring also that each engine-driver should be allowed to be the judge on arriving at any station whether he could take more carriages with his train. The manager, how ever, declined to present such a memorial as this to ue directors, and the matter stood over to the 19th Nov., when the following memorial was presented : " To the Directors of the East Lancashireßailway Company. " Gentlemen,—Wa, the engine-men sad firemen sow under your employ, do humbly preeent this memorial to kind consideration. We are extremely sorry to be com pelled to assume what to you may appear to be a dictatorial position. But, gentlemen, we have several times laid before you our opinion, as to the total unfitness of Mr. Boyle, as • man to whom power or authority can be entrusted to; he neither does use it, nor seemingly can he be made to under stand how to use it, as a man of common sense ; thus we are compelled to make our stand against him. We cannot understand how he is still showed to go about the line, falsifying, calumniating, and misrepresenting men of far more exp:rience and knowledge than he possesses. Gentle men, we have humbly and respectfully memorialised your honourable board on this matter before; we do so again, from • full conviction that your line can never be worked in that creditable, economical, and amicable manner that it is your humble memorialists' with it should be so long as Mr. Boyle is upon it therefore we humbly beg you will re move him. " 2nd. That the body of enginemen and firemen do feel that they have been very unjustly treated by the manage meet of your line, as it was agreed by the directors to a deputation of the men, that they (the directors) would do a many things for the men ; but they have not done so.,For issuance, the amount to be paid to the engine-men, as wages, Wnot been paid according to sgreentent. Also the agree ment aa to nuleage, and number of hours to make • day, have not been observed ; on the contrary, they have refused pay the men their wages earned according to that agree ment The directors also promised to work the line with due regard to the convenience of the men, in respect to making as little overtime as possible; instead of this, men have been discharged; thus, the men who are still in your employ have to make mere overtime than at the time in the agreement. " 3rd. Experienced and competent men have been die chtned, while young man have neon kept on. We pray you to fellow the practise of other companies in this respect ; that In to discharge ;or suspend the youngest hands first, whenever there is to be a reduction of men. " 4th. BODletilllef, when running trains we receive orders Cram parties calling themselves directors s r to the speed we go. One will tell us he hat to be at such a place in p e ak a time, and that we must get him there in hat t time . ; be is, he says, a director. We strive to obey him, as ar as a in era power to do so with safety. Perhaps at the next hays eta. den another will inform us that if we go at the rate come from the last station he will report us, he being a We reeler, so that we cannot tell when we are doing right. prey the to be disallowed. " 6th. We pray for an answer to this memorial on or be fare Friday next, ea upon that answer will depend our fur ther measures. We trust, gentlemen, you will endeavour to make an amicable arrangement, otherwise it will be our painful duty to give in our resignations as servants toour y our elm we remain, your humble an ever dutiful servants, 'Tan ExOlniennie AND FIZININ ON TUC EAST LANCAII3II.II RAILWAY. " Novenae 19, 1849." Novel and extraordinary as these demands were felt by the directors to be, they felt the awkwardness of their gni tion if the men should strike, and they tried to conciliate them, after expressing their regret that the subject should hen again been opened, by promising a complete revision of the regulations of the locomotive department at Chastities, an d change its management. This offer the men rejected, and on the Saturday following they gave notice to leave in a week. The notice aspires to-night, when about 70 ezIP 11 •• drivers and firemen are expected to quit the service of the company. It Is said the directors propose to redoes the number of trains on the line and to endeavour to train g new men te the duties. Of course great loss, es well as danger will result from the experiment, but the art ead mystery of engine-driving me said to be of easy sersiaitios. NAVAL. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

COURT MARTlAL.—Private Joseph Butt, of the 2nd bat talion of the Grenadi. r Guards, was arraigned on the 14th ut November last, on three separate charges. Ist. For highly insubordinate conduct on or shout the 6.h of November, 1849, at St. George's Barracks, Charing-cross., in having mode use of the following language, viz., that it was the adjutant's hut., and that he would poy him cut for it, or words to that effect 2nd. For having at or about the time and plies as stated in the lint charge, falsely and maliciously repeated an assertion stated to have been made by him to Private Neale, to the off et that there was a private intimacy existing between the adjutant (the lion. Copt Percy) and his (defendant's) wile, and that lie believed it, such conduct being subversive of gond order and military discipline. 3rd. For having, at or about the period stated in the first charge, whilst being marched to the guard-room for the ahoy • offence, made use of highly improper language in stating, " I have nothing to say against any ohs but the non commosiened officers ; they are always jeering me, and that old Sergeant Murray is worst of all," or words to that effect. adjutant, the Hon. Captain Percy, we may add, is son to earl Beverl. y, heir presumptive to the dukedom of Northumberland. It appears that the adjutant hail had a veral interviews with the prisoner's wife on the subject of her admission into the barr cks—i. e., to reside with her husband, and the prisoner alleged the improper intimacy to hive taken place on those occasions. 'lbe prinocer was found guilty of all three charges. Sentence, IS months imprisonment with hard labour.—(S‘gued) H. I) AGUILAR, Li'ut.-Col. Grenadier Guards, President of the Court. The minutes having been forwarded to the Horse Guards, were returned with the following reply ; Horse Guards, No.. 29,1849.—5ir,—In herewith returning to you the proceedings of the court martial held fir the trial of private Butt, of the °Koehler Guards, which have been confirmed, I have it in e onmand to Minim you that before his grace the Commander-in-Chief ordered those proseedings to be confirm d and approved, he deemed ft expedient to cause them to be referred to hie grace's legal adviser, who has stated it to be his opinion, with reference to she first and second charges, that at weule appear from those charges that the language imputed therein vs the prisoner had been wan tonly and deliberately used by hits ; whereas the expres sion complained of were drawn from him by the questioning ef a sergeant, whieb being ac companied by seine irritating remarks on the put of men in the barrack room, was calculated to excite the prisoner's feelings, and to prompt him to the use of angry and insubordinate language; and this being the fact, it ought to have been alleged in the charge that what the i rig oiler said was in anew*, to questions put to him. It is clear that Private Neale, though not believing it, bad cir culated the imprudent story which he had heard from the prisoner's wile, and it would seem probable that when his wife's falsehood was thrown in hie teeth the pentane' . might assert his belief in the stogy, not because he seally did believe it, but because he was ashamed to admit that his wile had fabricated it; or it is possible that his wife may have had sufficient control over him to induce him to give credit to her assertion'. But under whatever aspect this case is viewed, it is manifest that the expriesmas co m• planed of were net produced by any deliberate or insubordinate feeling, but by the irritation of the moment and the questioning by Sergeant Basel'. The some autho rity has ()homed, that the third charge is scarcely ofsuffi dent importance to have been muds the subject of hill by court martial. Under the above eiDleamrances,,end concur ring in the opinion that the expressions complained of can not in fairness be ascribed to a shale& and malignant pur poem, the Commander•in-Chief hasbeen pleased to direstt that the imprisonment to be undergone by the peisoney shah not exceed three months I am to add that a !meaner may object to any individual or individuals coasposioe the court assembled for his trial, but he has no legal right to challenge the whole court (generally) as the prisoner assumed to have done. I have the honour to De, sir, your obedient humble servant, Jeute DieDoseua, Adjutant- %eneral.e-By order of his Grace the Commander-in-Chief. —To the Officer in &c." - - Kato iintenteence.
