The epodes Ors arose whether, having pared by this disputed }shit of Dolly's Brae, the procession should, in rebirths imiTellynore, again pass by the as road. What road they should take, bowevea, was ant known until they were on the spot when the two roads diverged. In the marine sore brow woes took place. The cavalry, not having brought any forage with them, were sent • little distance to obtain sole, ant did not return is time to take she load of W procession, but followed it. The police and the rest of the military remained on the ground, sad the body to which he had before refired maintained thole position oleo. In the 0n.... of the day they were visited to 7 two Roma oaths lie clergymen Mr. Morgan and Mr. Mooney, the first of whom brought, he did within very diaererly, • quantity of bread and distriosted with the avowed intention of keeping these people together on the ground. He also administered his blessing to the crowd there assembled. About an hour b fore the return of the Orange party, and while it was doubtful what inane the procession would take as its trues aa eztraordiaary movement took place on the part of these people—he did sot know what to call them— The Reel of CLARENDON—Ribboomen. Lord STANLEY—On, Bina:lams li.gheransayo, lying 011 the left head of the new road, consureded both the old sad new roads. The R Mesa body bad been at tint en camped near Dolly's Brae, os the other side of the old road, bat about an hour before the return of the procession, they suddenly, and with military order and .e—being under the command of • porton who had be , a dis clanged from the constabulary —changed their position to the summit of Magheranisyo, which more effectually commanded the sew road than the old one. The proces sion after having bees received in his noble friend's park (where he hod had a meeting of the school children • few days before, and the platform erected oa that occasion was allowed to remain), his noble friend mar to than • speech, whirl he thought it would be difficult to fled fault with. They retur.ed by the road by which they had come in the moraine, sad they went through the page of Dolly's Brae. Mr. Morgan, the Roman catholic clergynan, announced his intention of going with the procession, in order to protect them, but be did not do so. Mr. Id coney, however, mom pried them. The Orange party bad just reseed a line marked us the nap, and Mr. Mooney was returning to meet the p Are sod troops to assure them that all was peace, whoa • sorb or signal was let off, upon which two theta me fired from the hill where tbe Ribbonmen were en camped, sad Mee that cams a tremendous volley on the polies, Orangeman. and military. the principal attack ap pearing to be directed against the police. They were for moment startled, but, recovering themselves, with gallantry and forbearance, which reflected credit on Mr. Hill, by whom they were led, they gathered in a bode of forty or forty five nen, charged the Ribboanten, and drove them from their roiling. In the opinion of • military oilier preeent, the police were not sufficient to clear the hill, had not some of the Orangemen present co-operated with them, and, in spits of being find at from behind • wall, and from ruse ere-bearing houses, they succeeded, with the police, in dispersing the rebel bead. " Rebel band " was • tern which had been adored by Lieut. Perry, and when eked why he used it, he said that he did ✓e Magee they bad fired on her Majesty's troops. (Hear, hear.) There occurred scenes which be agreed the commie. sioser faithfully described, because they were borne nut by the evidence, although his statement was in other respects highly coloured, aid, in some instances, he quite misrepre sented the case. There entainly did follow from the Orris party sear (drat atrocity, sod if the perpetrator of them rand be discovered there would be so man mere anxious to bring them to justice than the noble earl (Roden) by his side. (Han, bear) Houses were fired, one innocent per son was borbaressly put to death, end the spirit of retails ti on was carried 011 03 a pester extent than could be jusufi.a. Hie nob • friend opposite thought fit to institute a commis non to Investigate this transaction. It cat four or five days at the end of July ad the beginning of August, and then by adjournment on the 18th September, after which Mr. Berwick made his report. Informations were filed against certain parties, but at the Cutlewellan sessions they ware re fried to be entertained by the bench of magistrates of which his noble friend was the chairman. Upon receiving the re port of the c namiseioner, his noble friend opposite thought it his duty to recommend the Lord Chancellor, in consequence of these proceedings, summarily to dismiss from the commis sir of the pear his noble friend near him, as also Mr. Francis Been and Mr. Wm. 8e,,., He was not about to eater into the me of Mr. Wm. Beers, but would apply hir er( to the cases of his noble friend and Mr. Francis Beers. The case which the government made out against the latter gentleman was, that the procession was formed and organised within his domain, and that he marched with it. He did so, however, in his character of • magi's's, with no badge or mark upon him, but merely artchiag with the stipendiary emigrates at the head of the polies. It was proved that on the occasion of going and returns, he was smote` the most active of all the magis trates is pretesting a thstsrbenco, and in endeavouring to prevent • collision. Or of the natures produced—a wounded Rabboansa—testified to the fact, that in the heat of the conflict his life had bent saved by Me Francis Beers. (Heir, hear.) Ups arriving at his noble friend's perk, where nose but Orangemen were prriont, Mr. Francis peeing been an Orangeman for more than 20 years, put oa an oraage ribbon, but be took it off when he left the pork. (Hear, hen.) The charges against his noble freed were, that he received the procession (a his path, sad did sot advise them to return by the as* reed, and se chairman of the bench of magis trates he refused to reserve the intormatioas tendered by the WOW, aelicitor at the iastigatio• of Mr. Berwick, against patties tor attesdimt the procession, not for committing any hit of violesee, but merely for attending the lifoClolloll, u berg per re sad aS Mi(o, an illegal procession altogether.

Nothing should bre ors omitted ; but he furnished the lord-lieutesaat with a copy of the notes of endear taken betas bin, whisk " he believed to costar' all the material evidence in the ease."

Thu report gelled that the lest shots wen fired by the Orangemen, while is bet the Orangemem did sot In until two shots had been, they seappeseik fired at them by the esthetics. Mr. Berwick, la his report, else sappremed the fact that Mr. W. Beers was the pangs who terseastrated with the Oranpning. That we. woe= fa ttens of the stone bias running through the white report drawn up by Mr. Comaisioner Berwick. la the eagle page (5) of the report, there was another remarkable fact. It we. known that Mr. Francis Been had coingeneicated to the government his fears that a breach of the lessee might arise from this procession, and had warned them giving his reams for entertaining that fear. The re port stated, that on the atoning of the procession, the police proceeded to the residence of Mr. Francis Biers, where they found a large body of Orangemen seeembled in arms. But what did Mr. W. Beers state ? Why, that on proceeding to his brother's demesne, he footed there a large body of men, but also several magis trates, sad a strong body of military and pollee, in order to preserve the peace, and that no complaint was ands that the Orange procession should have been permitted to occupy Mr. W. Beira' avenue. The report, however, took no noises of the pres,ace of the military and police. Hs (Lord fitanley) now had to deal with the question of the return by the procession by the new rather then the old road. Mr. Berwick stated in his report that " the magi strates assembled on the lull all agreed that it would be most dangerous to allow the procession to come bark by the came road, and it was arranged that Mr. Fiosasurice should pro. teed to Lord Rodeo's, and request his lordship's interference to induce them to return by some other way. The Rev. Mr. Morgan, though still expresaiog his fears of a collision, appears to have doubted the utility of such an arrangement, as he said " that sines they had gone that road they might as welt return by the same way." Thi• he explained to have been said by him leader the supposition that if the police and magistrates remaine. where they were then posted the chances of a collision would be less than if the Orange party were to proceed by any whey road, where no su h protection to the Boman catholic population could be afforded." Hie lordship montintted, the Rev. Mr. Morgan had given so such svideuee. The feet was tbi., Mr Morgan had stated tba. "he did not advise that the procession should come back the *use way that they had gone ; there was a great deal of difference between thinking and airising. But he did think at the time that it the procession were to return by the ma road there wool 1 be great danger of the Orangemen being attacked by the Ribbonmen." It was not true that all the magistrate' were of that opinion. The feet that occurred was this. The magistrates tent Mr. Fitsmsarice to Tollymore to represent to Lord Roden the dente, of the procession re turning by the same road. Lord Roden promised that he would speak to Mr. W. Beers on the subject, ands." what could be done. Mr. Beers recommended that the procession should not return by a different route. And what were that gentleman's reasons for giving this advice ? They were the most satisfactory poesib:e to hove been given. Mr. W. Beers stated that if the procession were he Come back by the new road, and not by the aM, he apprehended that a split would take place in the priennidest, and that there would is consequence be infinitely greater danger of a collision. This reason, said Lori Stanley, was in itself sufficient to have guided the judgment of Lord Roden in endeavouring to prevent the return of the procession by any other route. (The noble lord then quoted from the evidence of Capt. Darling and Mr. Ponsonby Hill statements, in proof that the old road was decidedly the safer of the two, inasmuch as though not so straight, it was less exposed than the new one.) (Hear.) These reasons (continued the noble lord), given by Mr. Hill, the stipen diary magistrate, and by Capt Darling, and which, no doubt, influenced the leaders of the Orange procession in deternsin• log to return by the old road, sere entirely omitted in Mr. Berwick's report. H. would now mention another fact which was omitted in Mr. Berwick's report. It had come to his knowledge that a large body of Roman catholic were assembled is a chapel is the neighbourhood, and that the priest, previous to administering his blessing, had sad's yawed to persuade tie auditors not to attack the Orangemen. He (Lori Stanley) besged their lordships to mark this circumstance. T , *or mused to answer him, bey 11 , 111fo _ bat the priest administered his blessing notwithstanding. Now he would beg to lay great strew upon this fact, for it showed that there did exist the necessity of the Orangemen keeping together in a body and not uplifting into several small parties; and he mint say that he thought the evidence of all the witnesses, both military sad civil, had sufficiently and distinctly prevent that, of the two roads, the old r md was the one most advisable to be chosen for their return. But all the reasons for this proceeding of the Orange procession by the old road were 'nuttily omitted by Mr. Berwick in his report to the Lord Lieutenant. The noble lord then alluded to another ratement in she report, to the effect that Mr. W. Beers did not, in fact, make the slightest attempt to induce the Orange party to go home by the new road. It wee true, said the noble lord, that Mr. Beers did not tender the leaders of the procession any sash advice. How cou:d he under the circumstance, and he. lining that it would endanger the public peace ? But Mr. Been did advise the procession to abstain from all injury er riotous proceeding, and to muffle insult and annoyance rather than resent It. He (Lord Stanley) would now go on to another very important misrrpresumtation of Mr. Be,. wick. In page 8, Mr. Berwick stated 't that the two Roman catholic clergyman appear to have exerted thiamine without effect to induce this holy to return to their homes, meld a the course of the day some bread was supplied to them by the Rev. Mr. Morgan, to hinder them, as be alleged, free, gskti into the publattonses and becoming intoxicated. Thielsedi appears to have bean considerably theremed during the day by the addition of a number of the innabitents of the hang. dude neighbourhood, some of whom appear to have joined them from curiosity, and some who east up their houses and came there, as they alleged, for protection." The Roman catholic priests did no nth thing, and he (Lord Btanley)would read their evidence. Mr. Morgan rays ' " I did advise them to go away out of that in the muddl e o f the day, but I did not tell them to home ;if I said formerly that I did tell theta to go home I did not do it knowingly. Tee reason I did not tall them to go Items was that I wee afraid, lest some evil disposed pigeons might not do so, but inbuilt attack the Orangemen. The, had no fear of an attack from the O VP This said the noble lord was th e evidence of a ea r= eatkolie priest, on whidt Mr. Berwisk thaeglit it kis duty to report that the Homan catholic priests exerted themselves with effect to Induce the Itiblma mem to return to their homes. He (Loyd Stanley) mut allude to one or two more points. Mr. Hermitic stated in hie report that while the procession was forming a shot was Amid, bat from what patty he was unable to say. He (Lord Manley) would not weary their lordship, by reading the ',Mew in detail on this enbjeet, but it appeared from that eniidemie that when the procession had got to the ridge of Me hill en its return a squib as a signal was fired. With re pad to the firing of that signal there were oa the one bend earea or eight penes, who did not see it deed, bet min hoard it sad who elated their impression, for the most of them did not—that it came from the road. eke rerther hand, there WOO the evidence of ikven Intehi vat witnesses, two of whom declared that they saw the swab fiend, and all of whom agreed in stating that they saw theemshe of the squib, .cad that it was fitted from the hill, sad that immediately afterwards two pendia came leeward from behind Ike hill and fired upon the pro emial. These shots ware distinctly men to have been fired from the hill, and they were immediately afterward, followed by a whole volley. Yet, upon that evidence, Mr. Commissioner Berwick considered it to be peeved from which pa. ty the squib had originally been fired, sad that the balance of the evidence proved that it was fired from the road. Balance of evidence, indeed; why, it ay peared to him (Lad Stanley) that the balance we" all upon 0011 side. sad nose apse the other. (Laughter, and " Hear, hear.") That wee to may, that whili to th e evidence of three ter I . oneesous who were on the ground at the time, and in the proesmion, there was oprosea the evident of Men or oilmen unexceptionable witnesses, Ili' pendia, magistrates and Brutish oaken, yet Mr. Comeakedemer Berwick could only mine to the conga dos Wet the evident* appearod to warren the opinion that any wen And by two of the Ilubbonama Mr. Boren* might be en able advocate and an adroit tauseel, but God ddend him (Lord Stanley) from ewer sprawls, baleen Mr. Bawl* la his capacity as a Judg-. lie would mention another of the fajrobabilities of Mr. Rerwick's report THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, :FEBRUARY 19, 1850.

New be (Leal Stanley) bad thought that the magietratise et Imbed, as well as those of Erse land, were stabled, sot to the authority of the Lord Lieutenant, but to that of the Lord Nigh Chancellor. Safely, surely, e• Te the Lord Lieutenant's recom mendation, the Lord road the evidence, the Lord Chancellor isquired what t►e immigrates had to say is their own defence ; the Lord Chancellor submitted to them the evidence which had been taken against them, and awaited their is insideration. No such thing. Not one of these requisites of justice was ountilie — erl 'with. On the llth of October the recommendation of the Lord-Lige. tenant wan conveyed to the Lord Chancellor, ate companied indeed with the report of Mr. Dewiek, but not, so far as appeared, with the minutes et the evidence taken by that gent/ernes ; and on the very same day did the Lord Chancellor, in *bedlam to his Excellences recommenoation, summarily, arbitrarily, without inking the accused for an explanation, without furnishing them with the evidence, dismiss three magistrates, all of wham W acted irrepro achably, and one of whom had held the cede sion of the pewee for forty years. (Hear, hear.) Bach an act was altogether unprecedented. (Hear, hear.) It was an abrogation of the functions of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and the degradation or him into the awe ministerial tool of the executive. (Cheers) In the degraded position to which he was reduced, he did not go through eves the form of justice by asking the magistrates whose dismis al was pending what they had to say is their defence. (Hear, bur.) And now he asked, what had they gained by the scum which had been pu.sued ? Had they established any tine point of law ? Was the low a bit clearer than it was before this proceed. leg ? (Hear, hear.) An application to the Court of Queen's Bench might have settled the use ; the dismissal of Lord Roden had not settled it. May, the dismissal of Lord Roden on the 6th of October had art led his brother magistrates to vary use jot from the opinion which they expnosed, when they determined teat they would not receive informations. (Hear, hear.) Did the government think that they had carried with them the feeling of the country, or produced an impression that there had been • fair, judicial, impartial, cautious, and deliberate application of the law ? On the contrary, had they not by the dismissal of Lord Roden crested, among the magistrates of Ireland, the feeling that they were henceforth to be subor dinate to, and dependent upon, the political chief of the day? (Chien) Had they not agitated and distressed the most loyal portion of her Majesty's subjects by dis missing magistrates of irreproacnable character? (Hear.) Did tln y believe that they ha I lowered the character of his noble friend (the Earl of R ides) amongst these who had hug known and valued his estimable qualities ? (Cheers.) He did not indeed suppose that that was the wish of the ge. 'sr-utmost, but if it had bees, far indeed would they have been from attaining their object. (Hear, hear.) Their thb minima of his ncble friend had called forth is his behalf ens remeltmeof sympathy, of kindness, of respect, and of regret width might well mauls any man even for havii g incurred the displeasure of her Majesty's government ; and well might it gratify him to think that at the close of forty yule faithful service he had received such testimonials from these who bad known, and could therefore appreciate Ms conduct. (Cheers.) Those testimonials did not pre ssedi from Orangemen alone, or from protestant' alone. (fleas.) A most remarkable paper had been placed in his hand. as would not trouble their lordships at length ; but it was. paper signed by all the membersof the Board of °seedless ever which his noble friend had presided; and protestants and Roman catholic, expressed in it their deep regret at the entree which had been pursued towards him, and bore testi mony t his able discharge of his duies. They observed that the fact that the union wu one of the most Healy taxed unions in Ireland was ample testimony that the inte rests of the ratepayers had been consulted, while the ears of the poor had been combined with a due regard to economy. The members of this board of guardians having last the services of Lord Roden as chairman and ex-ofilio guardian, had passed a resolu'ion to abstain from filling up the oth:e of chairman till the .anus] election, in order that he who had been degraded from his high office by the crown, might be restored by the unanimous suffrages of the guardians to the position to which he bad no longer au ex odfcee title. Before he con cluded he must say a few words in reference to the motives which had actuated him in bringing forward that motion. He hid not brought forward the qtr etion for the puma'e of smelting animosity between pronstatits and Roman catholic', as lot the purpose of reviving forgotten discu , sions and tau lag questions which mast be painful to all. He onmplained that the whole of the facts of the case were not familiar to the British public, and he thought it important that in that ess ~ as in others, the truth, and the whole truth, in poll tkal miners, should be placed before the country, and that they should be practically assured that, how ever estimable might be the private character, how ever high the public station, however irreproachable Ike motives of an official man, be would not be above that control which war administered through their lordships, and through the other house of parlianisnt, both acting on public opinion, if, in the discharge of what he believed to be his duty, he overstepped the limits prescribed by the law and the constitution. (Cheers.) He might be inked why, hold ing the sentiments which he had expressed, he did not move a vote of censure on her Majesty s government. (Hear, hear.) He hoped he should not be taunted on that subject. He abstained from doing se, not because he thought the conduct of the government war not open to serious blame, but because he desired that, as far as possible, great constitutional queetiou should he kept apart from ;arty emend end ziot be — relije - e - teTd - to Party' iscision. (Hear, hear.) He brought that question before their lordships in a quasi judicial capacity He had desired to lay the whole ems before th eir lordshlpo, in order that they mint be able to judge of is merits. But he sought for no parliamentary triumph—(hear, hearl—he asked for no par liamentary verdict. Hs did not deeire to obtain a vote of censure against the government ; and on a question which would involve the acquittal of the government in the con firmed= of the condemnation of his noble friend, he did not think it would be fair to his noble friend td place him, as it were, upon his trial before their lordships. H a d b e takes thateenne, pis/ideal feelings and party considerations would no doubt have influenced their lordships' judgment, and the question would bays been dreaded, not upon the merits, bat by the consideration whether or not tim government were to submit tl a political defeat. These were. frankly, the grounds on which he bad token the seem whisk he kM exec He asked for further informal% WM= he dam* the papers for which he moved were aeorneary fir the full slusidation of the fasts ; he asked foe them is oder that by means of the discussion, as well as of the mew produced, their lordships and Hu public might have an eppmtunity of judging whether the dismissal of Ms noble Otiei was a wise, a politic. a just ask, or, as he sea tended, as 'auks, impolitic, and erbium, proceeding ea the pat of the government.

Os three several ems dsme at quarter semimm, partieularly at litikboreugh see dem, the law was laid down in is akar and explicit a manmer as regarded the nature of these processions, and tie evils resulting from them, that no mad amid gasbag to be ignorant of it (Hear, hem.) In that trusteed mattes+ until the 13th July, when he (the Earl of Clarendon) had region to expects great demonstretion would take plate. He aseordiagly sent reinforcements of mill. Mu and constabulary to various localities in the court, Down. He (the Earl of Clarendon) superintended the arrangements himself, and he could safely and einesientiously say that nothing which precaution could ilia for the preservation of the peace of the country. had boa neglected an the ocessioa. (Hear, hear.) New, it had been reatoured abroad that the Irish government was in powesion of accurate inkrmation se to what would take place if the procemiln were allowed; but the fact was not so, for that government had no partkular or special information at all on the subject. Towards the end of June, 1849, the inspector-general of constabulary wrote to the isepecton of several districts in the county of Dawn and adjoining counties, for the purpose of ea attaining whether a breach of the peace wee likely to occur on the ensuing July festively, and what strength of reinforcements each would require. The oily answer which Mr. Inspector Coates sent was, that the procession would take place, whilst Inspector Hill made no allusion to the disputed roadway at Dolly's Brae. Now the noble lord (Lord Stanley), in his speech of that evening, alluded to Mr. Scott, of the county of Down, who waited on the under secretary, and reprevntel to him that a breach of the peace was cnnfidently expected. Now he (the Earl of Clarendon) should repeat that every precan tion had been taken to prevent such ; and he conceived that as no specific information was laid before the government, more could not have been done by the government than was done, without their subjecting themselves to t e charges and accusations of hating acted tyrannically and unconstitutionally. (Hear. hear.) Large secessions of cavalry, infantry, and coastabulary were located in the dis trict, and m ight at any moment he reinforced fr o m Down pateick and Newry. He (the Esrl of Clarendon) was aware that Mr. Tabiteau placed himself in communication with Mr. Shaw, who expressed his great surprise that any military should at all have been sent down; and though he was aware that the procession intended to pass through D Aly's Brae, yet he took no step whatever to p it. eHear.) In the case of Mr. Beers, that gentleman also declared to Mr Fitxmaurice he had no ialuscoe whatever; and, further, that no power on ear.h could prevent the Orangemen marching through Dolly's Brae. (Hear.) Well, the procession did pass througn Dolly's Brae; but so convinced were the magistrates that it wnuld be unsafe for it to return that way, that they sent Mr. Fitsessuries to the noble earl opposite (the Earl of Rodeo), to represent to him the danger, and that he might exert his influence to di/meats the prof:onion km from their determination. Mr. Fitestauric• did proceed to Tollymore Park, wrier be found tee noble earl ileieorated with an Orange scarf and other insignia ; and on being in• trodueed to him, he represented the nature of his mission, informing him that a large procession of armed per sons was in the neighbourhood, determined to re turn by a disputed read, and that his influ ence was necessary to dissuade them. The noble earl for answer gave him to understand that he had not sufficient influence to interfere amongst them On Mr. Fithotautice making a similar representation to the Orange magistracy, Mr. William 8e.,. made a similar reply; and it was alleged that subs. quently Mr. Beers, so far from dissuading them, advised them to return by the route they proceeded. The report of Mr. Berwick stated, that " no step was taken to disperse the illegal body which was pre ceded by constabulary, and the rear equally protected by constabulary and dragoons " The report of Mr. Berwick then went on to detail the horrors that were perpetrated by some two hundred of the Orange body, after the two shots were tired. (" Hear, hear," from Lord Stanley.") A young boy was deliberate y shot whilst crossing a field an old woman was brutally murdered by being stabbed to death, whilst the head of an idiot was beaten in with blows. (" Hear, hear," and laughter, from Lord Sthnley.) His noble friend seemed to doubt the statement, but such was the evidence adduced before the coroner. (Hear, hear.) The evidence went to show that the Roman catholic chapel bad been fired into and lajurect, together with the house of the Roman catholic clergyman and the houses of al re spectable families of that persuasion, and that but for the interference of the troops and constabulary, the loss of lite and property must have been very great. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Berwick added further in his report, that "after the most anxious consideration he could give to the ere, whilst believieg that the magistrates could have adopted a line of conduct vetch might have prevented the perpetra. tion of such deed.. he entirely acquitted them as regarded the lose of life and property t but that in all their previous proceeeings they acted as though they misunderstood the nature of their duty, even to an extent that might seem to countenance those engaged in violation of the law." (Hear, hear) Now, though these processions might not be ipso facto illegal, yet, much remained in the discretion of the magistrates as to how they should act in such cars; and on occasions where there was a likelihood, amounting almost to a certainty, thet violence and riot must ensue from such gathering', any tali .trate, on having such pointed out to him and declining to interfere to pr vent it, did not de. to retain the commision of the peace. (Hear, hear.) Various discussions had taken place on the Dolly's Brae riot, both in that house and in the House of Commune, in which he bad not before that night heard the impartiality or faie nce' of Mr. Berwitk's conduct questioned. (Hear, hear.) Now, he (the Earl of Clarendon) should say that be ap pointed Mr. Berwick to conduct'that inquiry because he was • Queen's counsel and assistant barrister of great judicial experience, who had foe upwards of 14 years conducted the business of his courts in such a manner as to ensure the ea tisfacuon of the magistracy and public fa general. (Hear, hear.) He (the Earl of Clarendon) knew Mr. Berwick was not a partisan, but that, on the contrary, he possessed a tho roughly impartial mind. (Hear, hear.) And though his noble friend opposite (Lord Stanley) had dealt most severely, indeed he would say unjustly—(hear, hear)—with that learned gentleman in his speech of that evening, he was eonviaced that amongst the many eminent men of the Irish bar there could be found none better qualified to conduct that inquiry—(lsta, hear)—and many persona who had attended the investigation throughout expressed their opinion that he had performed his duty in a most excellent and creditable manner. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord (Lord Stanley) charged Mr. Berwick with having presumed to go to Castlewellan to advise the magistrates as to how they should alt. He wished to know why be went there, and be (the Sul of Clarendon) would ten him; because the magistrates of the locality complained that they should have the opinion of the law advisers of the crown to explain the law of the ere. (Hear, bear.) It had been determined on several occasions to obtain that opinion ; and at petty sessions ten magistrates deter mined to obtain an op 'non as to whether Wren hundred armed persons marching on the public road constituted ille gality, and whether they were liable to have information retried against them 'The answer of the Attorney-General to that question was, " I have no doubt but such assem blages are illegal." He was far from saying that the magistrates were bound to abide altogether by the dictum of a commissioner, and to shut nut completely the exercise of their own judgments. He declared the same on a late occasion, when a deputation, representing sixty thou sand persons, waited on him to know if the magistrates who had declined to take the informa tions should not be dismissed. (Hear, hear.) When the report of Mr. Berwick was resolved by him, he could assure their lordships he read it with the eyes and feelings of a friend, and should have been most happy could he have found anything in it of a mitigating character. The report likewise received every consideration from the noble lord at the head of her Majesty's government, as also from the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who both were compelled to agree with him as to the neeessity of superseding the nebls earl in the commission of the peace. (Hear, hear) He sheuldaay it was a most painful act. (Hear.) He had been long bewared with the intimate friendship of the noble earl, and leen the moment he came to Ireland he had revived proo h th at friendship of the moot vital and beneficial kind. (Hear, bear.) He (the Rail of Clarend na) felt the sin/rarest friendship for the noble earl op, oeite (the E.rl of &dun); he wee aware how ungracious it world appear, and what a loss of popularity it would oc-asion him (the Reel of Clark ndon) amongst the friends and admirers of the Earl o f R o den. (Hear, hear,) He felt and teresew all that; bat notwithstanding, one feeling was paramount, namely, that of impartially discharging hi. duty, from the pusses et wide& he einild not shrink, as he never had dine, sad as he hoped lie aster should do. (Hear, hear.) ilmr rises the government of Irehend had been confided to hie care ids eeat °Nest Or to reader the law in that counts, a reality. (Hear, hear.) To tiepin all climes with sonfidence in its imps/till adeninaleatioste and to make them believe that whisk usfartaaesely they had sot for a long time mit to belleve—namely, that before the law all inn were eqMfk thaiigh and the low, the rich and the poor—no maim whet their stades or politica, the same justice would he meted oat to them. (Hear, hear.) Therefore, he maceired he would be utterly unworthy the confidence of Ws Somalia had he allowed his inalinatiou, however ewe f, Is Imerakee midi what he meshed to be both Just sad aSaNiNgis (*.er, blifir 3 U. leaded the noble earl led fallen lain gelemeas ewe is one regard. He (the Earl of Clarinda') thought smjadgig ism the laagnage of the Earl of Rodeo la his repots to several of the addresses pre mated to him Witt lie flisaissal from the commission of the pesos. The Win Mill, is theme replies, had stated as mush ea that his dismheal was a blow aimed at Pro*, - amine is Ireland it hi plena, and that, consequently, all his ao-rellgleabas were la . Now he (the Earl of Clarendon) should say that be eel neither to the Earl of Rodeo, nor to any of their I in devoted attachment tithe Protestant ram. H. he was u incapable as any sum living of lending hi to a oonspfreey easiest the tl e. Protestant faith. (Hear, hear.) Bat nothiag could induce him to believe that the true Worsen of Pretestantiss, and Christianity in general, were net endangered by amens bleges and proceedings, the result of which should be to engender bitter and hostile feelings amongst the various claims of their commas mousey, from whose creed, though they might conscientiously dif fer, yet whose *Mons and religious convictions they were bound to respect and never to interfere with. (Loud cries et " Hear, hear.") Therefore he should say the question of religion or politica no more entered into the case of the noble earl than if It had occurred in the most sequestered locality in England. (Hear, hear.) The gaie ties was one of legality of ill egali ty; whether the magi strates be the **fortunate ernes Were the house had done their duty ot had net dose it; that was the question at issue, and therefore he hoped the sable earl would dismiss all religious and political phantoms from his mind. (Hear.) His noble friend had alleged that the impair, made by Mr. Berwick was unconstitutional. If it were unconstitutional, there was plenty of proof In show that it had been sanctioned on former messioss. Lord STANLEY—What I did my was this—that I con sider that the feria of these proceedings was neither judicial nor m . The a ru te i r t ial a CL&RENDON said that it may not be judi cial, magisterial, or constituticiaal ; at all events, it was not eausual. It had not only bees sanctioned in Ireland by succensive governments, but by successive parliaments, and every decision that had been arrived at on such inquiries had constantly been the subject of parliamentary discussion, and no ibjeetion of this kind had beet mace. (Hear, hear,) He had got together sundry cues ea which these inquiries had been made. inquiries the noble earl read a list of meet whittle similar had been made into the causes and results of disturbances in Ireland for steered years past [ With such precedents before him, on what grounds could he refuge to institute the inquiry which had taken piece, par ticularly as a promise ha I been made that parliament shouid have the whole facts submitted to them on their mumbling ? To have refused to have the matter investigated before a magistrate, and to wait until the Court of Gluten's Bench sat at the close of the long vacation would have been nothing but a mockery of the expectations of parliament. His noble friend had said that he (the Eul of Clarendon) had no right to rescind the commissions of the peace to any per. sons on the oathsof any individuals sworn before Mr. Berwick. inasmuch as those individuals so sworn could not be afterwards prosecuted for perjury. He was perfectly well aware that the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland had no right to examine a man on oath, but he had trade Mr. Berwick a magistrate for the county of Duro, and he ass magistrate had .is good a right to examine on oath as any other ma gistrate for that county had. (Hear, hear.) His noble friend (Lord Stanley) had alluded to the act 6th and 6th Wm. IV, sec. 13. He would call the attention of their lordships to the terms of this act, as it wagon it that his noble friend founded the arguments which went to prove that Mr. Berwick had no right to examine on oath. His noble friend merely read the first put of the section and omitted the latter part of it which provided that the act should not be considered to extend to any oath or affirmation on any matter or thing touching a breach of the peace, &e. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) That was not all, Mr. Berwick was in posses ion of the commisdon of the peace, and he would read exte.cts 'rim that commission, and let their lordships judge whether under that commission Mr. Berwick was, or was not, autho rised to melee the ii quiry. (Here the noble earl read a part of the commission, which was received with cheers) He should now say that when he seat the report of the proceed ings as forwarded by Mr. Berwick to the Lord Coancellor of Ireland, he neither desired, instructed, or ordered the Lord Chancellor to dismiss the Earl of Roden or Mr. Beer; he left the matter quite open to the Lord Chancellor, who had perfect liberty either to retain them its the magistracy or to dismiss them. (Cheers.) His noble friend ought to know very well that he could take no such steps. The first thing he did on receiving t'.e report was to send the whole of it to the Lord Chancellor without stating his opinion. He found then that the Lord Chancellor had come to the same conclusion as he himself had done, and he must add, that he communicated with him on the matter before he made any communication with his noble friend at the head of the government. It was complained that the Lord Chancellor had retained the documents for a very short time as he sent them off almost immediately; but it mu , t be considered that he had no occa ion to Belay, as be had his mind quite made up. The noble earl then quoted a paseage from a letter which he received from the L red Chancellor of Ireland, stating that his lordship heard that it would be eller d in the discussion which was expected to take place with reference to the dismissed or the Sul of Roden and Mr. Burs from the magistracy, that from the terms of his letter it might be inferred that he had acted solely on his (the Earl of Claren don's) directions, without reference to hie own opinion, and in consequence wished to add, for the purpose of preventing any misconstruction on the subject, that he had no difficulty in stating that he admitted the act to be entirely his own, and to be one which he considered himself as personally responsible for, and that he had not the odorant doubt of the justice of the dismissal. (Cheers.) In vindication of the accuracy of his report, Lid Clarendon showed that the reports relied on by Lord Stan ley were prepared for Orange newspaper., and fal•ified in many imp irtent particulars, and gave an indignant denial to the accusations brought against Mr. Borwick's character for probity and impartiality in drawing up hie official documents. While professing to du laia the task of refuting the miscel laneous libellers who had attacked him in every shape since the occurrence, the noble earl proceeded to remark upon the formal charge authenticated by the signature of a peer, and I accusing him of having courted the Orange party, and offer. ing them arms during the first apprehensions of rebellion. Early in 184$, he observed, requests for arms were sent in to thegovernment ty various loyal bodies, and it was true ' that in entertaining these requests no ten stringent inquiry was made into the religious tenets of the requisitionists, But their requests were refused when united with certain party propositions from members of the Oran,te lodges, who were the only parties that seemed inclined to turn their loyalty to account. Lord Clarendon then alluded to the celebrated loan or gift of 6001. from Captain Kennedy for arms, which he declared to have been a strictly private transaction on the part of the captain, and read some letters from that officer in support of his declaration, ex ;needling a regret that the subj-et should have been 'again opened for discussion. The noble earl informed their lordships officially that Ireland was unusually free from sectarian spirit and political hostility. Ile regretted that his noble friend had thought fit to bring forward this qipstion, becalme he believed tn.t it would tend to keep up that angry feeling which they all considered as Gs: subsiding ; but as he t oped that parlie meat would give its assent to a bib which was in progress in the other house of parliament, and was brought in to put en end to such party processions. he had reason to expect that religious animosity in Ireland would for ever cease. After 20 years of political agitation in Ireland, after tee visitation of a chastity which was us. pnecedented in ancient and modern history, and which swept away the resources of the country, he hoped that the worst had gone by. and that by the strenuous exertions of all classes for their common good they might soon hail the onmmencemint of that social regeneration from which the best interests of England as well as Ireland wore in separable. Toe noble earl then repeated that he had no objection to lay on the table of the house the correspondence. ' &os which wee moved for, and resumed his seat amidst loud cheering. The Earl of RODEN c , uld not but think he had been harshly treated by the members of her Majesty's govern. sent, and particularly by the Lord Lieutenant. He was I only induced, In thus rising, to defend his private and public honour from the various calumnies SOU had been I poured upon him. Re begged to disclaim ping in. Moonset% by any party or political feeling, or by any irritation towarthe noble earl, whom he had always esteemed, and to whom as a friend he war bouhd to ac knowledge his thanks for past favours. He would ask the noble earl to remember the 21st of July, about ten or eleven .. . . . - .. . .. . . days after the calamitous circumstances so often referred to, when he (Lord Rodeo) wrote to him, stating his regret and pie( at carat had taken place, and offering to cur rent!, r his office as a megistrate if the noble earl thought that he had acted in a manner unworthy of such a dig nity. But, at the same time, he asked hint to hear in mind the danger that would arise trout his doing so, by the triumph which it would give to that party that was opposed to all social order. The noble earl, in reply, wrote to him a most courteous and kind letter, in which nothing whatever was said that amid induce him to think that he contemplated the stop which he subsequently took. Until the 7th of October he had heard anything more on the subject. On the morning of that day he received a letter from the Lord Chancellor, removing him from the office of magistrate, and that communication was accompanied by a private letter from the Lord Lieutenant, exprissing hie sorrow and regret to be compelled in the discharge of his du y to concur in the sentiments expressed in the Lord Chancellor's letter. If he were guilty of the charge brought against him, he would deserve not only to be dismissed from the magistracy, but he ought also to be ashamed to show his lea e within the walls of that house. The charge made against hint was, first, that he tad aided and abetted an illegal meting; secondly, that h. did we. use his exertions as a magistrate to prevent the effusion of blood ; and, thirdly, that he had acted as a magi. rate in his owe case to pervert the ends of justice. Weed he con sidered the magnitude of these charges he wondered at his addressing that house, when be ought to stand a prisoner at that her. All he demanded of their lerdships was fhb —net to ho considered guilty until he had been tried and found guil , y. This was the birthright of every man within the protection of the British constitution, and this he claim d us a British subject. In the document before them he had been told that he had b een puh. a v reigned. Th a t h e d en i e d . W here ? and by whom ? "ter it by the Tins.. newspaper or by i n di v id uals In aunt: place ? He was not publicly arraigned. The noble rl then proceeded to refer to the r e p ort o f Mr. Berwick., which he contended was a one-sided report, sad did not give so ample and impartial a statement of the evidence as stied a document should furnish. The noble lord who had introdnoed the question to their lordships had onl y done him justice when he stated th at h e had given to ree several Viceroys of Ireland, and more part i cularly the noble earl opposite, the best support in his power. He reminded their lordships that in In4S Ireland was in a very serious and awful mate. There wee a rebellion, which, what ever was the extent to which some might suppose it had spread in the minds of the people, at all events htr Maje.t r t e government oonsidered to be of a most serious nature, The number of troops in Ireland was increased to forty the e . sand, and one of the most able generals in the British service was sent over to superintend whatever mit tar, duties might be deemed necessary. He did not* b lame the government for the precautions they then took . On the contrary, he thought they were right; hut he merely stated these feats to show that they apprehended very 'ennui disturbances it the time. That was the time when every loyal men and every well-wisher of his country was bound to come forward and show his readinem to reed by the government and the crown; and he (Lord Roden) felt it his duty, as being connected with a loyal district of the country, to use every means an his power to induce t':et pa r e of the country to unite and exert themselves for the support of her Majesty's government in Ireland. In the advice he gave to the Orangemen, he has endeavoured to upon them that it was of little consequence what p party was in power; he ban told them that it was their duty to give their rapport to it. Tn.t certainly was Ms advice he bad given the Orangemen in the month of July of that year. He was certain that the conduct of each an assemblage of independent men would have been grate fully acknowledged, and would meet the full ap. probation of the government. In the month of May he had had a communication with the noble earl at th e head of the Irish government respecting the renewal 4 the Processions Act. He regretted extremely that the at h i d not been introduced and passed Immediately after the month of March, but he understood that it was not brought in earlier in consequence of the amount of business hir er , the hone.. When the noble lord wrote to him, be f La r d Roden) stated that be then thought it too late, and as i t would not be pared till immediately before tf e 12th Julr it would appear as if it were only levelled at th e () Mga processions, and that he considered it most ungrateful en the part of the government after the course they had Wien in oirappoesurteParLordHeCaamPPe aled r. whether, e r th ha er , noblein a and learnedilde pad no idea had with him on the same subject, he had not liven expression to the same sentiments. On the 29th of June he went over to Ireland, and had toe honour of dining with the noble e.rl opposite, when a cou of r Net aTl s ire d k n i a p c t r i b rm b te r apprehendt h h b r .. t a ly r i o c h i g6 l a l i t i d t i o h n w r l e e r r e versation took place upon the e - n a d me he su c h e j r , : t .inly it har lan fell the noble earl that the proceas;on was slio u t te e e p l ace, and wt hteh north noble orth I d:: ur m bi a anything e e would that ttakee was anything illegal in these processions. So little did the noble earl deem them illegal in his (Lord It den's) opinion, and so little idea had he that lie was taking part in any illegal set, that on the 12th of July, after the Oranomen had left his park at lour o'clock, the post going out at fire o'clock, he had sat down and written to the arable cal stating how satisfactorily everything had gee quiet and orderly the immense sasemblage bat been, mid ly re turn of post he had received a letter from the arable earl, is which he stated how rejoiced he was to hear that every. thieg had gone off eatisfutorily, and how grateful tee government was to him for the course he had pectin:. (" Hear; hear," from Lord Stanley.) How, then, ciuld he suppose that be was doing an illegal act in taking any part in those processions 1 He must say that he the greatest satisfaction from seeing 3,000 of these loyal and in dependent men, smith their wives and families assernlilid there, and upwards of 2.000 others lock lig on. The noble lord then referred to the testimony of Mr. Fl'lnlinflet, who said that he had requested him to use his influence :o induce the Orangemen to go another way. It was utterly imposa hie fcr him to have induced the Orangemen to do so, becau.e it would have occasioned a split amongst them, some of them going one way and some anitelo r, and there was the rt k of their going unarmed and troop(' to the attack of the armed Ribbenmen. There was, besides this, to be h erne in mind, that the military i.cid police were rationed in the road the: Orangemen to .k, end none in the other road. He had applied to many i f the witnesses, and sznenest others to gentlemen who could not have ai.y interest in the matter, namely, the officers in the army, and they all agreed in saying that the report of the evidence taken in shorthand was much fuller and more correct than the evidence as peen by Mr. Berwick. Msjor Wi'kinson had made such a rate. slant. He had been charged with having been careless about the matter, sad not using proper exertions to prevent a breach of the peace. He could only say that it was most untrue. He bad advised the people forming the procession to go home quietly. With referee ce to his atteadance at the sessions when the informations were presented, he felt that if he bad absented himself, it would have been a tacit acknowledgment that there was a reason for his doing so. (Hear, hear) When the 42 men were charged by the crown solicitor with being engaged in en illegal assembly his persuasion wee that it was not an illegal assembly. anl the nobleearl (Clarendon) was his authority for ttinkthg st. He need not allude to the articles in newsps,vrs. written with a view of prejudicing him. He could only say that in his magi.terial capacity he bad never acted in favour of one party more than another. The addresses which he had received, and cth, r tokens of sympathy, were most gratifying to him ; sod throughout the whole proccsoings he trusted he had never shown any irritation towards the noble earl. He was sorry that he had addressed him (the Earl ct Roden) in a tone different from that which he used to adopt, but he still felt for the noble earl the feelings of friendship which he had always entertained. (Cheers.) • Toe Earl of CLARINDON explained that the letter of the 2lst of July, written to him by the noble earl, off, ring to resign, had been received by him. It stated that a cer tain party were determined to drive hint from the mum tracy, and if it would relieve him (the Earl of Ciareo4on) from any embarrassment, he would resign. The offer was most generous, but it noble earl out of the magistracy in order to relieve hill • the Marl of Ciarendon) from embarrassment (Hear, hear lie knew that an inquiry into the circumstances wou:d tslte place, and he therefore deferred taking any step ma the matter. The Earl of WINCHILSEA thought the conduct of Lord Clarendon arbitrary and inconsistent. There were pro cessions of the Ribbonmen on St Patrick's-day, when colli sions occurred leading to fatal results, yet no one was brought to trial for tie crime. An almost unanimous ex pression of feeling in Ulster bad vouch. id toe high character and impartiality of his noble friend, L fed Id 'den. Lord BROUGILAM hoped that hereafter some surer ground would be shown for the reliance which her Majesty expressed, in the royal speech, upon the good sense of the people of Ireland. Turning then at once to the legal ques tion, the noble lord said that certain acts and meetings might be perfectly bestial, but in the number of those who attended I danger might lie, and that danger constituted a desires of illegality involving a very serious responsibility to all who I were assisting. In proceseiona like those at Dolly's Brae collisions were always eminently penbable. And as a colli sion required the presence of both parties, i'. was impossible for one party to disclaim all the guilt of the cstastrophe. by throwing it upon their opponents. He gave it as his judg ment that the process of the rim 'vial of Loris It , den and the Messrs. Been from the magistracy was not uncouttifulonal. The peace of Ireland was endangered by fusing rower to men who were zealous in wrong doing, and sanctioned acts of the meet perilous nature, while actuated by the purest motives. In these party proc.ssions the members to, kup their bibles and their bluLderbstate and went to a picnic. If anything was left at home it was not the wespons. He concluded that on the whole perfect justice had been di:ne by the government and Lord Clarendon. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE complimented the lord-lieutenant on the smusaer in which he had pertormeda difficult and painful duty. Recapitulating the events in suc cession, the noble marquis observed that they had tended to t•dd strength to the impression that catholic, could acres tied justice in Ireland. What with Orange sherd.. OCinge magistrates, and Orange jurymen, it wee believed that no Orangeman could be convicted. Lord ABINGER argued that as the processim was allowedly legal until acts of violence were committed. there could have been no culpability in L ird Ii Men's conflict until after the firing began. Uts diernisiml must therefore have been grounded up in his subsequent ac's, and thew, the noble lor.t maintained, were insufficient to justify so liver. a censure. __ _ _ Lord STANLEY replied. He was saiistied with the re sult of the debate, and believed that the country would share that satisfaction. He duubted the authority on which the truth of his own version of the D.dly's Brie report had been queationed, and retained full confidence in his own wit• news. His lordship concluded by declaring his own etre• nuous disapprobation of all party pros. salons, and especially of the Orange organisations and parades. The motion was then agreed to, and their lordships ad journed at one o'clock. MOOSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAT, FEB. 18. The S took the chair at a quarter to 4 o'clock. MESSRS. F. O'CONNOR AND ROEUILTK.
