THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 12, 1835. Hillsboro'4ll, and the Loyal Orange Institution of Eng land, in the same circular, call the attention of their Orange brethren, by re-publishing the resolutions of the Grand Lodge of Dublin, as follows :- 4' And lastly, we beg to call the attention of the t (band Lodge, and through them return our heartfelt thanks and 'congratulation s to our brethren through various parts of Ireland, who, at the late meetings of the three thousand in Dublin, five thousand at Bandon, thirty thousand at Ca van, and seventy-five thousand at Hillsborough, by their strength and numbers, the rank, respectability, and orderly conduct of their attendance, the manly and eloquent ex pressions of every Christian and loyal sentiment, vindicated so nobly the character of our institution, against the as. perFlon thrown on it, as the paltry remn an t o f an expiring faTtion.' And we ardently hope that our brethren in the other parts of the kingdom, who have not yet come forward will do so, and not forget the hint given to us iu our Sove reign's last most gracious declaration 'to speak out.'" POWERS OF THE IMPERIAL GRAND MASTER. Your Committee submit that all these publications are indications of the importanz!e which is attached to the in crease of numbers in the Orange institutions, with the view of a display of, or having recourse to, physical force, when ever an occasion shall require it. In the printed proceedings of the Grand Lodge, 4th June, 1833, the Duke of Cumberland is reported to have stated, " that if the Grand Lodge have not confidence in the grand master, it is better, perhaps, that I should know it ; but if it have confidence, its members must be aware that it is my wish to simplify the proceedings of the institu tion as much as possible. Individual opinion is not to be consPited upon vital and important arrangements, involving the welfare and best interests of the institution." It must always be kept in mind, that the power of calling out the members of all the Orange Lodges in Ireland rests with the grand master and his deputy, on the application of twelve members of the grand com mittee ; that the same person is grand master of Great Britain also, having the same powers, which are stated to be uncontrollnd and arbitrary, of bringing together large bodies of armed and unarmed men, to make a demonstration of physical force, which might prove highly dangerous. It appears, by a paper indorsed by Lieutenant• Colonel Fairman, which he had received on the Bth of June, 1834, from Randal E. Plunkett, M.P. (grand master of county Meath, deputy grand master in Ireland, and member of the grand committee of the London Orange Institution), the draft of an address to the members of the Carlton Club, to be printed and cir culated in the name of and by the Orange Institution. The following is the first paragraph, and deserves the attention of every man in the country :—" The Orange Institution is the only society peculiar to Great Britain and Ireland which already includes individuals of every rank and grade, from the nearest to the throne to the poorest peasant." The draft was modified, among other alterations, the ex pression, " nearest to the throne," was changed for the term, " the first male subject in the realm ;" the address was then widely circulated. Mr. Plunkett, in a letter of the sth July, 1834, to the deputy grand secretary, says : —" In the general tenor of the appeal I fully acquiesce ; every word of it must find an echo in every loyal breast." He further adds :—" That the physical strength of the Orange Institution, as its last resort, should be explained by a short address." The Orange body is capable of bri g rendered eminently available at elections ; " its peculiar and almost unique application to purposes of co:nmunica tion between persons of all trades and to large bodies, whether the intent of such application 1 3:,-• for insuring an election or strengthening the hands of a Government, &c." and, he continues, " that Conservat;sm is inferior to Orange ism, as it is solely, and almost selfishly, political. I can not consent to lose your vcinable exertions by identifying you with the politics of tb:d Carlton Club. I should fly at higher game, and endr.favour to make the members of the Carlton Orangemer.,." Your Committee could not keep out of sight the riots that took place in Ireland at that gentleman's election, by the interfer:fnce of large bodies of armed Orangemen, as detailed in the evidence on the table of the House, as the ,Ind of eminent services that may be rendered at elections by Orangemen. EFFORTS FOR EXTENSION IN ENGLAND. The following paragraphs of the Address to the members of the Carlton Club and the Conservatives of England, as circulated, are worthy of attention : " The day has passed when a debate and a vote of either House could settle, even for a time, a vital question. To re store that day, a large portion of the community must be bound in union for the support of the institutions of the coun try. Their ostensibility would give physical weight to those spirited and truly patriotic Members of both Houses, who should have the moral courage to oppose the will of bold in novators, and the rash measures of wild experimentalists. Where, then, is this union to be found? Where is the nucleus around which may be arrayed the advocates of our social sys tem, who are now disheartened, passive lookers-on at the march of Radicalism, since they are without leaders on whom they can rely ? " Such an union, such a nucleus, has (to a very limited ex tent in Ea land) some years existed, and requires only to be well understood and adopted by the Conservatives generally, to become so expanded as to present the happiest means not only of preserving the vessel of the State from wreck, but of carrying her is safety clear of all the rocks, shoals and shal lows which at present peril her navigation ; that union, that nu cleus, noble Lords, gentlemen, and fellow-countrymen, is ' The Loyal Orange Institution.' " This is the only society peculiar to Great Britain and Ire land, which already includes persons of every rank and grade, from the first male subject in the realm, down to the humblest individual." " It is not an occult society ; it is not one of concealments ; it is not bound by oaths; although every member has either taken, or is willing to take the oaths of allegiance and supre macy; but it is a society, every member of which pledges himself to support to the utmost of his ability, and by all legal means, our Prote;tant establishment, and ancient institutions in Church and State." " It is governed by a Grand Master, the first Prince of the blood, who, with the aid of noblemen and gentlemen eminent for loyalty, wisdom, and sound discretion, will be able (when the institution shall become more extensively ramified) to mus ter, in every part of the empire, no small portion of all that is sound in the community, and thus present, in every quarter, a phalanx too strong to be overpowered by the destructives, which will give a moral as well as a known physical strength to the Government of the King, and will enable it to set at defiance the tyrannous power that has been so madly called into existence." ACTIVITY OF THE INSTITUTION. The activity of the institution may be judged of from the declaration of Lieutenant-Colonel Fairman, that he nas been in the habit of receiving a multiplicity of co..nmuni cations from all parts of the world ; and that lie now has a cart-load of correspondence in his house Lambeth. In the letters from the deputy gram secretary to the Marquis of Londonderry, and to the Duke of Gordon and others, there is a general referenrA to the advantage of in crease of numbers, of boldr,ess of attitude, and even of physical force, to support the views of the Orange in stitution. Copy.) " Cannon-ro(w, Westmi ns t er , July 30, 1832. "My Lord Marquis —In my letter of Saturday, I omitted to mention that we have the military with us as far as they are at liberty to avow their principles and sentiments ; but since the lamented death of the Duke of York, every impediment has been thrown in Cie way of them holding a lodge. The same observation tk,at was applied to the colliers might be at tached to the soldiery. As Orangemen, they would be an additional secizity for their allegiance and unalterable fidelity in times lilte the present, when revolutionary writers are striving to set them up to open sedition and mutiny. In tres passing th us upon t h e attent i on of your Lordship, I am not so presuraptuous as to suppose that any thing urged by me could influence your conduct; but understanding the Duke of Cum berland has communicated with your Lordship on this sub ject, I felt it my duty to put you in possession of certain facts with which you might not be acquainted. " I have the honour to be, my Lord Marquis, " Your Lordship's very respectful and obedient servants " W. B. FA:iRmA " To the Marquis of Londonderry." EXTRACT LETTER TO THE THE DU' OF GORDON. " Cannon-row, W estm ; :nster, Aug. 11, 1832. " Our institution is going on rosperously, and my accounts from all quarters are of the tr ..ost satisfactory kind. By our next general meeting we stall be assuming, I think, such an attitude of boldness as 'will strike the foe with awe ; but we inculcate the doctrine of passive obedience and of non-resist ance too religiousl f ; by far. " I ha:ie the honour to be, my Lord Duke, " Your (drp.ee's most devoted and respectful servant, " W. B. FAIRMAN." TENDENCY OF OEANGEISM. In Jr,ne, 1833, Lieutenant-Colonel Fairman writes to Lord T u o n g fo r d in these words :—" We shall speedily have such a moral and physical force, I trust, as will strike with tor. .or and sore dismay the foes of our country." As there are no entries, in the books of the institution, of answers to those and similar letters, your Committee have been unable to ascertain what were the opinions of those Noble Lords thereupon ; but, as the public circulars of the institution express nearly the same sentiments, and as the Deputy Grand Secretary has been continued in the confidence of the Grand Officers of the institution, a con elus'.on may be drawn that his conduct has not met with their disapprobation. The obvious tendency and effect of these Orange Lodges is to keep up an exclusive association in civil and military soclety, exciting one portion of the people against the other ; to increase the rancour and animosity too often, unfortunately, existing between persons of different reli gious persuasions —to make the Protestant the enemy of the Catholic, and the Catholic the enemy of the Protes tant—by processions on particular days, attended with the insignia of the society, to excite to breaches of the peace and to bloodshed—to raise up other secret societies among the Catholics in their own defence, and for their own pro tection against the insults of the Orangemen —to interrupt the course of justice ; to interfere with the discipline of the army, and thus to render its services injurious instead of useful, them required on occasions where Catholics and Pittntants may be parties. All these evils have been proved by the evidence before the House in regard to Ire land, where the system has long existed on an extended . scale, rendered more prejudicial to the best interests of society, by the patronage and protection of so many wealthy members, high in office and rank, taking an active part in the proceedings of these lodges. The Orange lodges have also interfered in various poli tical subjects of the day, and made Orangeism a means of supporting the views of a political party, to main` -;Lin, as they avow, the Protestant ascendancy. eOran +? lutJo -s have addressed his Majesty, and ,ndiyiriaais., special oc casions of a political J.l.artire-1 patronized and sup ported, by subscription voles of thanks, &c., parts, of ti.e public press whiell advocated their opinions Views in politics—have interfered in the co.Arn.' , . Of justice, by sub scriptions to defend and pniect parties of Orangemen, and to prosecute td» magistrates for interfering with 441 m (as in the case of Liverpool in 1834, when the mayor of Liverpool interrupted the Orange precession on the 12th of July in that year)—and have also interfered with the elective franchise, by evening members of their body, as at Rochdale in 1833, for voting for the liberal candidate. The following are some of the many instances recorded in the minute books and in the printed circulars of the society, and will support the statements of your Committee : At Moston, Committee Meeting, 11th August, 1819. Resolved,—" That an immediate subscription be entered into by the Loyal Orange Institution, to defray the great expense attending the late prosecution in Liverpool, which expenses amount to a serious sum of money in consequence of the great number of witnesses and the exertions re quired to collect evidence for the support of the prosecu tion ; the amount of expenses attending the prosecution and amount of property destroyed are upwards of 2001. 7th August, 1820.—Resolved at a special meeting of the Committee in Manchester, " That from the conduct adopted by Sir John Tobin, Knt., Mayor of Liverpool, to wards the members of the institution, when walking in pro cession in that town on the 12th July last, and his seizing and illegally imprisoning Mr. Tyrer, this Committee deems it highly necessary for the honour of the institution that Mr. Tyrer should immediately adopt proceedings against the Mayor, unless a proper explanation and apology be made by the Mayor to Mr. Tyrer for such outrage." Committee Meeting, 13th of October. 1819, Manches ter.—Thanks to Lord Kenyon for his subscription towards the prosecution in Liverpool, and to I:ne lodges who have subscribed and transmitted their subscriptions for the same purpose. Committee Meeting, 26th July, 1823.—The following resolution, recommended to the Grand Lodge by the Grand Committee, " That the several deputy grand masters and secretaries constantly report to the grand committee the increase or decrease of our enemies and their proceedings, as well as the increase or decrease of our friends, with any suggestions for the good of our constitution in Church and State, and that brothers who reside where either Popery or disloyalty prevail be especially on the alert." " That D. G. M. French do ascertain what Orangeman of warrant No. 60, authorized attendance on the Birming ham Political Union, and that he transmit the list of Orange men who so attended and who have not sufficiently testi fied their regret and contrition for such un-Orange and, im proper conduct." At an annual meeting of the Grand Lodge in Manches ter, 26th and 27th June, 1820, it was resolved, “ That this meeting strongly recommends to the notice of all lodges, the newspapar called The Hibernian Journal, published in Dublin, by our excellent Brother, John Burke Fitzsimmons, Esq., as the only paper which has avowed spiritfully, and undauntedly maintains the Orange principles, in defiance of all Popish attempts to stifle the swelling chorus of loyalty to our King and sincere attachment to our glorious constition." Meeting at Lord Kenyon's, 27th April, 1821.—Re solved, " That the grateful thanks of this meeting be given, on behalf of the Loyal Orange Institution of Great Britain, to the proprietors and editors of The True Briton and The Hibernian Journal, for the constitutional part which they took on the introduction into Parliament of the late Bills for the destruction of the Protestant religion and glorious constitution of this country." At a meeting of the Grand Lodge, 16th June, .1823, thanks were given to- the editor of the John Bull Surkay newspaper, " for his advocacy of constitutional Orange principles on a recent occasion." Thanks moved by the Duke of Gordon in the Grand Lodge, on June 4, 1833, to the editors of the Edinburgh Evening Post, Glasgow Courier, and other papers. " June 16, 1833.—Thanks to Sir A. B. King, Bart.— For the gentlemanly, firm, and conscientious conduct he displayed at the bar of the House of Commons during his examination on the subject of oaths and constitution of the Orange Society, whereby we consider him to have com pletely established its entire coincidence with the true prin ciples of our glorious Constitution." " Thanks to Mr. Secretary Peel were given for his sup port of Protestant principles." IS THE GRAND MASTER IGNORANT OF THE EXISTENCE OF LODGES IN THE ARMY Your Committee, in reviewing all the facts brought be fore them, and taking into consideration the mode in which they have been proved, are unable to reconcile those facts with the ignorance professed by the Imperial Grand Master, the Deputy Grand Master of England and Wales, and by other grand officers of the institution, of the existence of lodges in the army. The books of the institution have been, from time to time, neglected ; but the business of the Grand Lodge has been very regularly conducted ; the evidence of every wit ness proves that the Deputy Grand Secretary and Grand Committee prepare the business for the Grand Lodge ; and that every proposition for its deliberation is considered by the Lodge in the order entered on the Rota ; and a report of the proceedings of every Grand Lodge, detailing the business therein transacted, is printed and circulat-,:i to every grand officer of the Grand Lodge, and generally to every master of a lodg e . All th ese forms i n d uce your Com mittee to place reliance on the docur:,entary evidence, which may be classed as follows :—, Ist . There have beerminutes of the proceedings of the Grand Lodge kep t since 1 19 ; and in th em th ere are en tries respe, the cti7, g t h e m ili tary brethren,-the granting of war rants, ar., receipt of mon e y fr om var i ous l o d ges i n the . arm;. The following are example of such entries, viz.— At a meeting of the Loyal Orange Institution Man chester, 28th June, 1 819—Resolved, " That a warrant be granted to brother Brew, to hold a lodge in the 6th Re ment of Infantry," 26th and 27th June, 1820. Meeting at Manchester.— Resolved, " That all military lodges on their arrival in Ire land shall communicate with the Grand Lodge of Ireland, but must transmit their returns regularly to the Grand Lodge of England." oth March, 1821, Manchester.—Resolved, " That Ser. jeant Hill of the 4th Dragoon Guards be again admitted as a member of the institution, in consequence of the charges originally made against him having been proved to be ma licious and false." 16th June, 1821. Half-yearly meeting at Lord Konyon's —Resolved, " That brother William Bridgman, toaster of Lodge 131, lately held in the 16th regiment s be reciniKed to account to the Grand Lodge for his corithret. b'n pain of expulsion ; at the same meeting, warrant* Were granted to Faithful Hall, 11th regiment of foot, Thomas Mackean, 10th light dragoons, and to Henry Gray, 2d or Coldstream Guards, to hold lodges in their respective regiments. 25th March, 182:3. Meting of Grand L o d ge a t L or d Kenyon's.—Resolve,,' " That warrants be granted to John Sempleton, sc t.oolmaster-sergeant, 3d regiment of guards." And at ":(11s meeting there is a separate resolution—" That no ( . listinction in numbers be made between military and civil warrants." At a meeting of the Grand Lodge at Lord Kenyon's on the 29th September, 1823, deputy grandmaster Stockdale in the chair. It was resolved—" That our mi litary brethren holding warrants, regularly notify to the deputy-grand secretary their change of quarters, that the necessary communications may be preserved with the Grand Lodge." _ . Meeting of Grand Lodge, 15th June, 1827, Lord Kenyon in the chair. " John Gibson (military) Woolwich," attended the meeting, and was appointed a deputy grandmaster. And at the first meeting of the Orange Institution of Great Britain, after the Duke of Cumberland became grand master, held at the house of Lord Kenyon, on the 17th March, 1829, the Duke of Cumberland in the chair, the the Report of the Grand Committee was read, received, and confirmed, and the following resolutions were unani mously adopted:-- " That New Warrants be granted." No. 66, to Samuel Morris, musician, 43d Foot, Gibraltar. 94, to Hospital- Serjeant Charles 0. Haines, 2d Batt. Rifle Brigade, Malta. 104, to Private James Bain, 42d Foot, Gibraltar. 114, to Corporal John Parkinson, 2d Batt. Rifle Brigade, Dcvonport. 248, to R. Lawrence, sth Batt. Royal Artillery, Gibraltar,. At a subsequent meeting in the same place, on the 4th of June, 1832, where the Duke of Cumberland also pre• sided, the Report of the Grand Committee and their reso lutions were read before the Grand Lodge. The tenth resolution is to the effect, that " several additional letters were laid before the Grand Committee, containing com plaints against Mr. Chetwoode ;" among these were letters from the following non-commissioned officers and privates : Bermuda.—Sergeant Chainey, Nov. 2, 1831. Corfu.—Hospita b l-Sergeant Haines, 2d batt. Rifles, April 15, 1832. Dublin.—Brothe r Nichols, 50th Reg., May 12, 1832. Malta.—Brother M'lnnes, 42d Reg. Highlanders, Ist May, 1832. Quebec.—Brother Inglis, 24th Reg. By the Report of the proceedings of the Grand Lodge, held on the 16th of April, 1833, the Duke of Cumberland being in the chair, it appears that the proceedings of war rant 233, Woolwich (being a military warrant, Royal Ar tillery, 911 i Battalion) were read, and Brother John Gibson (military) of the said warrant was examined; and it was resolved that Charles Nimens (a private in that battalion should b;.., suspended from membership, with right of appeal through the Grand Committee to the next Grand Lodge. 2d.

There are regular entries of the names of the regi. ments, and lists of artillery in the ledgers 11`oni 1820 to 1824, the number of the warrants granted to each of them, the amount of dues oWing by them to the Grand Lodge, and the amounts received from time to time from thetil ; all these accounts are kept by the depot') grand treasurer, rod once a year, or oftener th accounts of the institution were balanced and laid before the Grand Lodge, and in these ortounts.entries from lodges in the army appear.

There exist 3 a printed register, made up to 1830, of all tho lodges under the institution, having the names of thirty regiments or corps opposite the numbers or the war rants they held ; and many of the printed circulars an nounced that those registers of the lodges were on sale at 2s. each. An ektract of the registers of military lodges is given in another part of the Report. 6th. In the printed circular reports or the proceedin g s of the Grand Lodge a t which his R o y a l Hi g h ness presided, there are entries of the warrants granted to Regiments by that Grand Lodge : for instance, it appears from minutes of proceedings of the meeting of the Grand Lodge at No. 9, Portman-square, on the 17th of February, 1831, the Duke of Cumberland, Grand Master of the Empire, in the chair, that the issuing of 24 Warrants to hold new lodges was ap proved, and thmt of them are thus inserted, viz.— No. 244 to Samuel Heasty, 6th battalion Artillery. T 258 to James Smith, 94th Foot. 260 to Private Wilson, 17th Foot. There are also entries (4947) of Sergeant William Keith having attended two meetings as proxy for the Ist Regiment of Dragoon Guards, warrant 269. And by a resolution of the Grand Lodge, on the 15th February, 1827, " No per -1 son can be received as proxy in the Grand Lodge who is not of himself qualified to sit and vote therein." 7th. In the laws and ordinances of 1821, 1826, and 1834, there is an apparent encouragement held out for the initia tion of soldiers and sailors to be Orangemen, by the remis sion of the fees on admission. On the 4th of June, 1834, there is the following entry in the printed Report of proceedings : " The laws and ordinances of the Institution, as revised by the grand committee, and submitted to the inspection of his Royal Highness the grand master, and his Lordship the de puty grand master of England and Wales, were approved and confided by his Royal Highness to the final supervision of Lord Kenyon." And it is difficult to believe that either of them could be ignorant of the following law ; viz.— " Rule 41st. No person can be admitted into this institu tion for a less fee than 155., nor advanced into the Purple order, after a reasonable probation, for less than an extra fee of 55., except soldiers and sailors, when the fee of ad mission shall be at the discretion of the meeting." This rule was also in the manuscript laws submitted to Mr. Sergeant Lens in 1821, also in the copy of 1826, and is in the laSt copy revised in 1834. FOREIGN WARRANT IO lIIOSTIIta E. NUCELLA. . . Bth. A warrant was ,granted in 1832 to Edward Nucella, Esq., to visit established lodges on the continent of Europe, and in Malta and the lonian Islands, and to establish others where he could. (The warrant is signed by the Duke of Cumberland and the Marquis of Chandos.) Mr. Namlia was informed, before his departure from England, that there were military lodges in Malta, and he stated to the Committee that it was publicly known in that island that Orange lodges were held in the regiments there. He was known as the agen t o f th e Loyal Orange Institu tion, and the soldiers and non-commissioned officers visited him as such, and he attended their lodges. He wrote seve ral letters from Malta and the lonian Islands to the Deputy Grand Secretary, describing his proceedings ; these letters were read by the Grand Committee—were read in the Grand Lodge, when the Duke of Cumberland and Lord Kenyon were present, and the thanks of the Grand Lodge were given to Mr. Nucella for his zeal. Mr. Nucella granted two warrants—viz, to the 7th and 73d Regiments, to hold lodges ; and these were afterwards approved of by the Grand Lodge, and the dues for the same were entered in the account of the regiment, kept in the books of the Grand Lodge. On the 4th October, 1C5:.13, he writes, " I find only two out of ft'Ur battalions of regiments and companies of hrtillery stationed in this island—viz., the 42d ftliiilanders (the head lodge) and the 94th, are sit ting under warrants, the former, Master John M‘Kay ; the latter, No. 258, Master Frederick Spooner ; the two other regiments, the 7th and 73d, are sitting under pre cepts." On the 30th October, 1833, he sends a list of the members of lodge No. 258 in the 94th Regiment, and of No. 194 lodge in the 7th Regiment, &c. ; he states, " That Major Middleton, of the 43d Regiment, had put down the lodge No, 104 held in that regiment," and ho details his expostulation with the Major for so doing. In his letter from Corfu, dated 2t3th Nov. 1833, he states that he had been prevented by Lord Nugent, the civil governor, from esta blishing a lodge there ► and he mentions, with astonish ment, the orders of the commander of the forces, prohibit ing the goidiers from holding oe sitting In any lodge what coo. In his letter of the 7th February, 1834, he mentions that he lied granted to Captain M'Dugall, paymaster of the 4td Royal Highlanders, the warrant No. 196 Z lodge, for having been an Orangeman f or thi r ty y ear s, a nd th a t h e had raise him and the deputy master, ensign and quarter master Hickman of the 72d regiment, to the dignity of the purple order. " All this," he adds, " subject to the appro bation and confirmation of the grand master of the empire, whom you of course make acquainted with the whole, and also the grand lodge." Mr. Nucella never thought of con cealing his mission as a commissioner appointed by the Orange association ; but in every letter, and in his evidence, seems proud of that duty ; his warrant was hung up openly in his chambers all the time he was in Malta. These let ters were read in the grand lodge at different times. No tice of them was made on the 4th of June, 1833, by Lord Kenyon, in very favourable terms, and another time the following entry appears ; " The zealous exertions of brother Nucella, M. o. C: and grand commissioner on the Continent for the achuioeffieht et the institution, as detailed in his letters from Italy, Malta, and the lonian Islands, afforded high gratification, and called forth the unanimous approbation of the Grand Lodge:" Your Committee call attention particularly to the pit* ceedings of Mr. Nucella, as he was sent under a foreign warrant of the Duke of Cumberland, imperial grand master, to Malta and o th er p l aces —h e reports hi s progress—and the state of Orange lodges in the regiments from time to time—his letters are read in Grand Lodge—notice of them taken in the printed reports ) and finally, he received from the deputy grand secretary the following letter of thanks from the imperial grand master : " ORANGE INSTITUTION, (Copy) " Canhon-row, June 0, 1834. "My dear Sir,—lt affords me no small portion of pleasure to forward you an extract from the last Report of the Grand Committee, which was confirmed by our illustrious Grand Master in Grand Lodge. My time has been so engrossed, as well in preparing for that meeting as in presiding at grand committees, since another of which, on finance, will be held t , 3..morrow, that I have scarcely had one moment which I could :ail my own. This must serve as my apology for not offering -- ou my respects in person, which I shall seize the first oppor tunity of doing ; in the meanwhile, begging you to accept my best wishes for the restoration of your health. " I have, &c. (Signed) "W. BLENNERHASSETT FAIRMAN. " To Edmond Nucella, Esq." Having heard read the highly interesting, important, and valuable communications of brother Nucella, M.G.C. &c., from Corfu, Malta, and other remote places, of various dates, as also one of this morning from Vauxhall-place, on his return to England, after an absence of two years, during which he had been making a tour no less extensive than useful, your Grand Committee beg to offlr lint -their warmest congratulations and their most cordial welcome on returning to his native land. The acceptable pr-les he has afforded on all occasions of his unremittinr, zeal to p, emote the obje c t s an d to exten d t h e principles of our insti, tution have been such as cannot fail to ensure him the approb, ation of the Grand Lodge. In bearing this testimony to his merits, the Committee would be guilty of great inju ice were they not to recommend him strongly for some espe s o, 'al mark of honour for the heavy claim he has established on l the gratitude of the high dignitaries and of the brotherhood in general.

Ntt cella remonstrated with the eemmanding offieef of the 42d regiment on the subject of his suppressing the lodge in that regiment, and he afterwards attended the nieetings of other military lodges there, although he know they *ere held contrary to the order of the Comm an d er o f the fordei, Your Committee therefore submit to the House these details, as some of the many proofs which have been brought before them, of the manner in which the Orange Lodges in the army have, from time to time, come under the notice of the grand committee and of the Grand Lodge ; and when it is also known that at every meeting of the Grand Lodge since his appointment the imperial grand master and the deputy grand master for Great Britain have been present, your Committee must repeat, that they find it impossible to reconcile statements, in evidence before them, with the ignorance of these proceedings professed by Lord Kenyon and by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cum berland, SCOTLAND. The two tours of inspection in 1833 and 1834 by Lieu tenant-Colonel Fairman, under his itinerant warrant, were intended to extend the Orange system in England and in Scotland ; and, with the patronage of the Duke of Gordon, as deputy grand master of Scotland, great expectations were formed of the extension of Orangeism from these tours. It appears by the evidence, that the deputy grand Seerez tary assembled the established lodges in Edinburgh, where some of the military (cavalry and infantry) were admitted in their regimentals ; and that he gave them every assur ance of support from the Loyal Orange Institution of Lon don ; but the Committee have been unable to ascertain what number of Orangemen were at that time in Edin burgh. The deputy grand Secretary spent some weeks in the north with the Duke of Gordon, but it does not appear that there are any Orange Lodges north of the Firth of Forth. At Glasgow, and in the west of Scotland, Orange Lodges have been established for many years, and Lieutenant-Colonel Fairman, in 1833, visited these esta blished lodges, and also formed the Gordon Lodge in Glas gow, under the patronage of the Duke of Gordon. By the evidence of Mr. Motherwell, the deputy district master, that lodge has not flourished, and may only be noticed as having sent addresses to Colonel Blacker on his dismissal from the magistracy in Ireland ; and to Colonel Verner for having resigned the magistracy in disgust at Colonelßlacker's dismissal. An address was also sent at the same time to Mr. Judge Smith, to thank him for an address he had delivered to the grand jury on the subject of Orangeism. There are Orange lodges at Airdrie, Port Glasgow, Ayr, Kilmar nock, Girvan, Paisley, Neilston, Johnston, Maybole, Stranraer, Glenluce, Wigton, Dumfries, Castle Douglas, Kircudbright, &c., and Lieutenant-Colonel Fairman visited all these places, assembling the lodges at each place, and infusing into them as much new life and activity as pos sible. He was received at Airdrie and other places with processions and other honours, as the representative of the Imperial Grand Lodge. The account of the proceed ings of Lieutenant-Colonel Fairman in Scotland is pub lished in the proceedings of the Grand Lodge of the 4th of June, 1833. (Copy of the proceedinds of the Grand Lodge, June 1, msa.) " A vote of thanks having been passed to the editors of The Glasgow Courier and Edinburgh Evening Post, for their ex ertions in the Orange cause, the deputy grand secretary ob sorves thereupon, that as the Noble Duke, who 13 deputy grand master of Scotland (Cordon) waS not present at the last Grand Lodge, I will now take the liberty of assuring his Grace, that such a fire has been kindled in North Britain as must speedily burst into a conflagration not easily to be extin guished.' Brother Thomson, deputy grand master for Neil. ston, stated at the same meeting, that having had the pleasure to attend Colonel Fairman during a part of his last mission in Scotland, he could testify it had been the means of infusing new life and vigour into those districts of the institution, that a firm basis was thus laid for great accession of strength, to the lighting up of a flame of Orangeism in the north, which all the efforts of its opponents would never be able to smother." It is particularly worthy the consideration of the House to consider what is meant "by lighting aflame of Orange ism which it will not be able to smother," and your Com mittee direct their attention to the evidence of Mr. Cosmo a deputy judge advocate of Scotland for an explanation. NUMBER or LotkaEs IN SCOLAND: Your Committee has been desirous of ascertaining the exact number of Orange Lodges and of Orangetilen now existing In Scotland, but without success. Lieutenant-C(114 Fairman, in his evidence, (1863=8) stated the number of lodges at some of the towns lie Visited, bet Withheld the general return of Scotland, on a plea that lie had no Of= rect register, A reference must, therefore, be had to the teturti peepareti by Mr, Co the ttscstant deputy grand secretary, from the entries of tne districts, and of the lodges in each of the seven districts in Scotland, amounting to 44 lodges, besides separate lodges too far distant to be under the Deput i t Cirtind Master of any of these districts. tf t,ie evidence of Mr. Motherwell, the editor of the Glas gow Courier, is referred to (3324), the lodges in Glasgow do not appear to be in a very flourishing state, as he, as dis trict master, has suspended some of them from communi cation with the Grand Lodge in London, for offences and disobedience of various kinds ; and the Gordon Lodge, which was to embrace a higher class of members, seems at present at a low ebb. TENDENCY OF ORANGEISSf IN SCOTLAND. To show the tendency of Orange lodges in the West of Scotland, the whole of Mr. Innes's evidence must be read. Mr. Innes was deputed by the Lord Advocate of Scot land, the law officer of the Crown, to proceed to Airdrie, Glasgow, and other places in the West part of Scot land, to inquire into the nature and extent of the riots that had taken place in July last in several parts of that country, and their causes ; he stated to the Committee that the existence of Orange lodges had been the cause of those riots, some of which had been attended with loss of life, and the subsequent execution of the offenders ; and that some of the late rioters were now waiting their trial. It will be seen that the meeting and procession of the Orange men, at one time, led to the riot and breach of the peace, that, at another time, the Catholics became the aggressors having met and proceeded in great numbers with the deter mination of preventing any Orange procession which they expected to take place ; and, on another occasion, the inha bitants of the town were brought forth to put down the riot between those two parties, and to drive them from the town. Your Committee observe, that those breaches of the peace, alternating from one party to the other, are expected to continue as long as that cause remains. Mr. Innes states, on authority on which your Committee place confidence, that the existence of the Orange lodges, their meetings, proceesione, and proceedings, have roused an opposition on the part of the Catholics to protect themselves from the in sults offered by the Orangemen ; and that secret societies have been formed for that put pose, by which the members cah be balled forth at any time when occasion shall require their meetin g ; that the Meeting of Catholics on the green at Glasgow before they marched to Airdrie, where they ex pected the Orangemen to walk in procession, was assembled by that trieane i find, from the proofs already mentioned, although he has been unable to procure any copy of the rules of those societies, he is satisfied that the de legates" of no less than twenty-four of these societies, which he calls Riband Societies, having secret oaths and signs, previously met together to arrange the meeting and procession to Airdrie. The opinion of Mr. Innes, after all the information he has become officially possessed of is, that it will not be possible to restore the west of Scotland to tran quillity, and to prevent breaches of the peace occurring oc casionally, unless measures are taken to put down the Orange Lodges and Ribandmen, and every other secret society. Whether the existence of Orange Lodges has produced the Riband Lodges, or the. Riband Lodges has produced the Orange, appears to be of little consequence. It is notorious that the Orange Lodges exist, under the patronage of men high in rank in England, Ireland, and in Scotland, and the countenance given, by all the orders of the Orange Institution being issued by, and under, the authority of such men as his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, as Imperial Grand Master, and of his Grace the Duke of Gordon, as deputy grand master of Scotland, will be found to have a greater effect on the poor and the ignorant, of which the Orangemen there chiefly consist, than might be expected. When we see an emissary dis patched for two successive years to force Orangeism in that country, under the special and extraordinary commission of the Duke of Cumberland, bearing his sign and seal, with powe rs to propagate Orangeism, t o f orm l o d ges , t o dismiss members, or to pardon offences of Orangemen how, and when, he pleases, it appears time for Government to interfere. When that emissary is entertained and coun tenanced for weeks as an inmate of Gordon Castle, the in fluence of the peer may he partly transferred to the emis sary in everything respecting Orang e L o d ges i n th a t coun try- There are various ways of enlisting men in a cause ; a nd when it is seen by the reports of the proceedings of Grand Lodges, that such men as the Duke of Cumberland, the Duke of Gorden, Lord Kenyon, Peers and Members 13 y of Parliament, are unitedo'B fttfttrt secret signs pass-words, and seated in the same room wttii >x biter pen sioner of one shilling a day, or any Orangemen, what -0,6f his mate in society may be, allowance must be made itiai Play be made by suc h persons, to be able to call the Duke, or aiiy 6the Orineernan, his . brother ; with perinission to apply whenever in difficulty EA , distress, for the assistance of such wealthy and influential men. As R proof of the baneful effects of the existence of Orarigeisttt in Scotland, Mr Innes states one example iill6re a lodge Of pitmen lately expelled from their body all liie taibmit , * 'oho had proviously lived and worked to gether with them iti petite and harmony. Your . Committee will only add, that the mischievous ef fects of Orange lodges shown, though on a sniall scale, in Stiotland; may be expected wherever such a system is up held and prothoted typublic And influential members of society : a reference to the evidence before the House of the working of Orangeism in Ireland, on the broadest scale ; and after many years's continuance, will support that opinion. REMEDY. Yost Cortittliftee ) in looking for a corrective to those et ils Which disturb society RI tiffich f and which threaten the ttiti§t getiOus consequences to the con - it - unity of the United Kingdom, if tillthilSd to continue, do not contemplate that any new legislative enactrfietit le necessary, the powers of the law being at present, in the opinioil of your Committee, Auflicient to protect the country from all such asHOeintions, bound together ad the Orrtnge lodges are, by a religious sanction, to maintain, in secreey, §igus and pass-words by which the fraternity may be known to mob other in every part of the ivethi, It aaears only to be necessary to en force the existing laws agitifiNt all such offenders, whether belonging to Orange lodges, to itihhtm lodges, or to any other society having secret bonds of union. Your Committee have been much pleased to receive a copy of General arders issued by General Lord Hill, and dated Horse Guards, 31st August, 1833, forbidding all officers and men in the army from attending Orange lodges, by whomsoever and wheresoever held, which order will put an effectual stop to the spread of Orangeism in the army. The following is a copy of the order : " GENERAL ORDER. " Horse Guards, Aug. 31, 1835. " Lord Hill has reason to apprehend that the orders pro hibiting the introduction of Orange lodges into the army have not been duly communicated to the non-commissioned officers and privates, or, if communicated, that they have not been suf ficiently explained and understood. " His Lordship now refers commanding officers of regiments to the confidential circular letters of the Ist of July, 1822, and 14th of November, 1829, upon the foregoing subject; and declared that tiny officer, non-commissionelofficer, or soldier, who shall hereafter Institute or countenance an Orange Lodge, or any other meeting or society whatsoever, for party purposes, in barracks, quarters, or camp, shall be brought to trial before a General Court-Martial for disobedience of orders. " His Lordship, moreover, peremptorily forbids the attend ance of either officer or soldier at Orange Lodges, by whom soever or wheresoever held. " The present order is to be read to the troops periodically on the Parade with the Articles of War. " By command of the Hight Honourable General Lord Hill, Commanding-in-Chief, " JOHN MACDONALD, Adjutant-General." Your Committee most anxiously desirous of seeing the United Kingdom and the colonies of the empire freed from the baneful and unchristian influence of the Orange so cieties, recommend the early attention of the House to that important subject, with a view to the immediate removal from Ace of all public servants who shall continue or be come members of any Orange Lodge, or' of any other as sociation bound together in a similar manner. LETTERS OF THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND. Your Committee think it proper tonotiee that his Royal Highness the Duke of Ctiml;erland, the imperial grand master, in his letter of the 24th of August states, that " owing to the acknowledged indiscretion and negligence on the part of the deputy grand master, and a like indiscre tion and negligence on the part of other officers of the Orange institution, many grants of Warrants, or renewals of former grants hate, without the knowledge of his Royal Highness, and contrary to his declared determination, been Issued from time to time in contravention of the order of the late illustrious Commander-in-chief, his Royal Highness the Duke of York ;" and his Royal Highness the Duke of Cum berland " therefore declares, that all warrants held by per sons in his Majesty's service must henceforth be considered null and void." Your Committee submit that these are important admissions, and they further call the attention of the House to the letter of his Royal Highness, dated sth August last, addressed to the Chairman of the Committee on Orange Lodges, in which he says,— " He knows of no Orange Lodge in any regiment." It is satisfactory to know that one result of the inquiry by the Committee of this House has been, to bring to his knowledge, and to convince his Royal High ness, that Orange Lodges did and do exist in many Regi ments of the Army ; and that he has presided, as Imperial Grand Master, over an institution which has for many years been acting in contravention of the orders of com manding officers of corps and of the Commander of the Forces, Your Committee submit that it would have been very easy for his Royal Highness to have published the do cument by which, and the time and place where, he issued any order, or nzade any declaration, against Orange Lodges lit the Army, instead of a general disclaimer ; as no such decitirdlititt f verbal or written, has come to the knowledge of your Committee in a manner to be relied upon ; whilst, on the coatrary, the numerous facts stated in this Report, and in the Appendix, and taken from official records of pro ceedings of the Grand Lodges, during the time the Duke was present and conducting tiose proceedings, are in direct opposition to such declaration. ORDER OF THE COMMANDER Ot r THE FORCES, WHETHER CONFIDENTIAL OR NOT. It has been alleged by some of the officers of the Orange institution, that the orders of the Commander of the Forces were merely a confidential recommendation, and not a ge neral order published from the Horse Guards. Your Com mittee arc desirous of removing that error, by referring to the evidence of Major-General Sir J. Macdonald, the Ad jutant-General of the Army, who, on the Gth of August, states, that the confidential circular letter of July, 1822, Wki.s embodied in the edition printed that year of the Ge neral Regulations and Orders of the Army ; that it is the duty (27) of the Colonel or Commander of every Regiment to have one of those books ; and every regimental officer (31) is directed to supply himself with a copy of it ; and that every regimental orderly-room ought to have a copy (31). Of the orders of the Duke of York no officer ought to be ignorant. DANGER OF ITS CONTINUANCE AND ILLEGALITY. The Committee further submit whether an institution presided over by the brother of his Majesty, having Peers and Members of Parliament as office•bearers, having, lodges extending to almost every part of the United King dom, and also to the colonies, should be allowed to continue, particularly when lodges are established in so large a por tion of the army at home and abroad, having the counte nance of a field-marshal at their head. The number of Orangemen in Ireland is 220,000, as stated by the deputy grand secretary for that country, and these chiefly with arms in their possession ; and if the Orangemen in Great Britain and the colonies amount only to a half that number, the House will judge how dan gerous such an association, bound together by religious ceremony and sanction almost equal to that of an oath, might become under possible circumstances of the country. A great political body thus organized in the ranks of the army and in every part of the British empire is a formida ble power at any time, and under any circumstances ; but when your committee look to the political conduct of the leaders of the Orange societies in England and in Ireland, and particularly to the language of the late addresses to the public and in the correspondence with the grand offi cers of the institution, and consider the possible use that might be made of such an organized power, its suppression becomes imperatively necessary. The nature of the organization of the institution and the dangers from its existence may appear, when the House is informed that the master of every Lodge is required to meet the deputy grand master of his district every half year, and deliver to him a return (a copy of which will be seen an nexed) of the number of members and of the proceedings of the Lodge during the past half year ; he is required also to pay at the same time the dues of his Lodge. Both returns and cash are then remitted by the deputy grand master of the district to the deputy grand secretary in London, who lays their accounts and returns before the Grand Commit tee for their examination, and that Committee reports thereon to the Imperial Grand Lodge, whatever may be of importance for their consideration. Lodges communi cate sometimes direct to the Grand Lodge, and the Grand Lodge sends copies of all its proceedings and orders perio dically to every district master and to every lodge. Your Committee think it right to place before the House the words of the Statute, the 39th Geo. 111., c. 79., re garding corresponding societies. Section 9, " Any society composed of different divisions or branches, or of different parts, acting in any manner separately or distinct from each other, or of which any part shall have any distinct presi dent, secretary, treasurer, delegate, or other officer, elected or appointed by, or for such part, or to act in any office for such part, &c. ;" and it will be for the House to determine whether the present organization of Orange Lodges in connection with the Imperial Grand Lodge comes within the words of that Statute ; and, if so, whether the law officers of the Crown should not be directed to prosecute the grand officers of all these Orange Lodges without delay. September, 1835. The length of the paved streets in England and Wales is 20,000 miles ; that of the roads which are not paved is 100,000 miles. The extent of the turnpike roads is about 30,000 miles. ! FROM EAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE• M)11D CHAMBERLAIN'S OFFICE, SErr.

FlRE.—Last evening, between six and s e to o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out in a cellar belong ing e o the extensive premises of Mr. Robinson, tea dealer and P st oo groat preparer, Red Lion-street, Holborn. The V e Establishment engine, from French Horn-yard, was draw n o f hand to the spot, previous to which a most excellent suPP i l t s water had been procured from a well in a coach-yard 0pP7501 Mr. Robinson's premises. The firemen and workmen si b' 0 5 their utmost endeavours, and in a short time the fire TV dueci and the fears of the neighbourhood were at an end. 1 1 0 1 damage ( .:;me is not very considerable; but if the ac ciden t v iov happened law at night the most serious consequences oho have been the iesult. The blame is attached to a 01 0 ,04 , was making packing cases near the machine room; 3 f 'lo4g from the candle he was working with fell among the shay and caused the accident. SIIOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Thursday ...-- -13 „ o tt, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a young man, named John c^"dis• a bricklayer in the employ of Mr. Blackburn, of East Anit,a, road, Poplar, builder, met with the following severe and ci,r`eio% ful accident, while at work at the new buildings now 'tbs, carried on in Arthur-street, London-bridge. It appea rs oira the unfortunate man was on the scaffolding erected to the t.j, story, and while in the act of using the plumb-line, ale ea w which had been insecurely placed on one of the putlogst O5 over as he stepped on the end of it, and the poor fell o ti , c instantly precipated head-foremost to the ground, fr°6`fact" height of about 45 feet. In falling, the left side of his wit h s t r uck against the end of a putlog at the first-floor win dow . suc h tremendous violence as to lacerate the flesh into 11, 0 tensive and frightful wound : he uttered a piercing skirl id the instant he was struck, and then fell on a heap of bile tooo rubbish in the area. On being raised, he presented ncooa melancholy spectacle ; the blood was gushing front the s ag o r in his cheek all over the front of his person, and lie w e s e parently lifeless. One of the city police, who was on t he at the moment, promptly procured a cab, and placing 005' fortunate man in it, conveyed him to St. Bartholom eo ! ri d pital, where on receiving surgical attention, he was f ol ` have sustained, in addition to the laceration of the face, l's;1,150 pound fracture of the right thigh. His right arm w ill ob . broken between the shoulder and elbow joints, and sever so re on the right side dislocated. He had also received 0 00 severe internal injury.
