ARMAGH, JULY 13th.--At an early hour this morning, the village of Killelca was filled with Orangemen, whe had assem bled from various parts of the county to celebrate the 12th of July. Orange flags were suspended from the windows; an immense Orange arch spanned the street, beneath which every reluctant Catholic or liberal Protestant was obliged to pass, the space at each side of the arch being occupied by fierce, menacing bandits, who only seemed impatient for an opportunity of displaying their assassin courage. Bodies of Orangemen, marching to the town, were playing the most offen sive party tunes, were decorated with Orange sashes and ribbons. For many evenings previous to this display, drums were heard beating on the hills, shots were fired, party tunes were played, presenting a scene to the spectator, as if the country were in a state of civil war. On the evening of the 12th (Sunday evening) the beautiful village of Caledon presented one scene of riot and disorder not to be described. The Orange men paraded the town, firing shots, shouting "to Hell with the Papists," and behaving in such a way as to disgrace any civilized country. Detachments of cavalry were sent to all parts of the county where Orange processions have been ex pected. All friends of Ireland, and indeed of humanity, feel the deepest debt of gratitude to the Earl of I‘lulgrave for the determined part he has taken in protecting life and property from Orange outrage in the county Armagh. It is to be re gretted however, that so many magistrates of this county are high Tories, and, consequently not disposed to aid the present Government in carrying its measures into effect. The writer of this saw the entrance gate of a Magistrate, who does not reside far from Killela, decorated with Orange ; arid although said Magistrate lives only a short distance from the scene where the foregoing disgraceful affair took place, yet no means of prevention were taken. An orange and blue flag was hoisted on• the top of a tree which grows within a few perches of the Deputy Lieutenant's house. In Newry, Armagh, Dungannon, and all the neighbouring towns, the Orangemen attended church in great numbers, and no interruption, excepting in one instance, occurred to their partizan exhibitions. An Enniskillen correspondent informs us, that on Friday, the fair day of that town, the Orangemen conducted them selves in the most outrageous manner. With scarcely an exception, the Magistracy are Orange, and, of course, cannot be expected to restrain the violence of those with whom they associate in the lodges. One remedy for the evil would be the appointment of stipendiaries. As far as we can learn, all was tranquil in Monaghan and Cavan on the 12th ; but the presence of Mr. Greene and the other stipendiary magistrates sent by government to - those districts had, no doubt a salutary effect. BANDON.—The boy who was wounded by one of the Orangemen during the affray on the Ist of July, has since died. The Cork Reporter says ; An Inquest has been held, and the party charged committed for trial at the approaching Assizes. The Magistrates have, it seems, sent to the Castle the names of six persons at each side who were prominent in the affray. What a mockery is this ! They were directed by the circular to take effectual mea sures for the preservation of the peace of the town ; the means of doing so were obvious— a police force at their disposal would have cleared the streets of both parties, and removed the incite ments to riot, and, as it has unhappily turned out, to the shed ding blood—the trees and party emblems—without the slight est difficulty. Do these Gentlemen suppose that any Govern ment can suffer such a dereliction of duty to pass with impu nity.—Waterford Chronicle. THE TWELFTH OF JULY IN ROSCREA I THE LIFE OF A CATHOLIC CLERGYMAN ATTEMPTED BY THE ORA NGEMEN. The Orangemen are making an effort, and we call on the Government to interfere, if they desire not to see blood shed in abundance in Ireland. (To the Editor of the Tipperary Free Press.) - DEAR SlR,—Permit me, through your paper, to lay before the Government a plain statement of the outrageous proceed ings that took place here yesterday the 12th of July, and which have not yet ceased. About six o'clock in the afternoon, two notorious Orangemen paraded the suburbs of the town, deco rated with orange lilies. After this they proceeded to a neigh bouring ' field, where they fired shots • the noise of which at tractedseveral persons to the place. Mr. William Fitzpatrick happened fortunately to be near them at the time, and with coolness and determination, he seized one of the ruffians, dis armed him, and conducted him in safety to the guard house. Immediately afterwards a few young persons commenced cheer.. ing and repeating Orange sentiments, which however annoyed no person. Mr. Stephen Egan at this time came out, and addressed the people, advising them to depart to their respective homes. The moment he did so, two shots were fired from Mrs. Sparling's house. Stones were immediately thrown at it by the people, and so outraged were they, that they broke the windows not only of this house, but of several others. Mr. Birch, J. P. soon arrived and called out the military, but at the request of Mr. Egan and the Rev. Cornelius O'Brien, that gentleman did not permit them to proceed be yond the barrack gate—Mr. Egan and Mr. O'Brien guaran teeing that they would disperse the people. This they ac complished to the great satisfaction of who were not Orange men, not however without encountering many dangers, as shots had been fired from many houses, one of which came quite close to the Rev. Mr. O'Brien, and who shall say that it was not intended for him ? The person who owns this house is named Dann, where forty ball cartridges were after wards got by the police. This day the Hon. Mr. Prittie, Captain Vaughan, Captain Smith, Captain Butler, the Rev. Mr. Townshend, and Wil liam Birch, Esq., Magistrates, assembled in town, but from the excitement that prevailed among the people, Mr. Egan and the Rev. Mr. O'Brien succeeded in their request that the investigation would be postponed. One of the fellows who signalised himself yesterday, accom panied by another named Bridge, when proceeding to the Court-house, were groaned by the people. Bridge presented a pistol at the people, who rushed on him, and were it not for the interference of the Reverend Gentleman above spoken of, they certainly would be made the victims of their temerity. They received many wounds, however, and their clothes were torn off their backs. The Reverend Gentleman, after endeavouring successfully to save the lives of these Orangemen, advised the people to de part to their homes, which they did. The town is in a very great state of excitement. I hope to send you an account of the investigation in time for next publication, and I have the honour to be, your's truly and sincerely, SPECTATOR. On Saturday night last an accident of a most alarm ing nature occurred to Mr. Hutt, a King's messenger, he being sent from the Home-office to Mr. Poulett Thomson, who was at Richmond, with despatches of great importance. Having, after some delay, found that gentleman, he received a packet in answer, which he was to deliver to Lord Palmerston. To prevent delay he was driving back at a furious pace ; when, unfortunately, the horse fell with the greatest violence, and precipitated him head-foremost to the ground. His ear was completely torn off, and his bead much injured. His daughter accompanied him. She was also thrown out, but fortunately escaped with only a few severe bruises. Although the gentle man was so much injured, he, with the greatest fortitude, after he had partly recovered from the effects of the shock, again drove forward, and delivered the despatches with his ear literally hanging down his neck; nor could he be prevailed upon to receive any medical assistance until he arrived at Mr. M'Cann's, surgeon, of Parliament -street, where his wounds were properly attended to. The ear was replaced in its natural situation, and it is hoped will be as perfect as ever. EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.—The fol lowing singular preservation of life has been communicated to us by a highly respected correspondent. Some time since, Mr. Baugh, the agent for the Rhinbryfdin slate quarries, lost a valuable horse from his pasture grounds. After a lapse of seven days it was discovered alive in a quagmire, the only visi ble part being its head. It is supposed to have been thus en gulphed from the time it was missing to being found. With some difficulty it was rescued. It had received no injury; a few days restored it to its accustomed vigour, and it is now now doing well.— Carnarvon Herald. While Captain Ross was wintering in Felix Har bour, in the month of July, a party once brought from the salmon fishery 500 fish, and returned for 200 more, which was all they could carry " bringing also," he adds, " a note from the Commander, by which I learned that they had taken 3,378 fish at one haul ; that they had taken in all 5,067, but were obliged to leave : 1 ,000 of them to the natives." For a large knife an Esquimaux gave him out of one of their frozen pits 220 fish, averaging 51b. each, and therefore producing a ton weight of salmon. ROYAL VISIT TO WOOLWICH.—Great prepa rations are making for the reception of the King on Friday next ; upwards of 2,000 soldiers will be reviewed on the Com mon. The Royal party are expected to arrive shortly after 12 o'clock, and will be escorted by the Life Guards and the Bth Hussars. After the review, the Royal visiters will par take of luncheon at the mess-room, which is being fitted up in a most magnificent style. After the departure of the King and Queen the officers of the regiments accompanying their Majesties will dine with those of the Royal Artillery ; 400 Lancers will arrive at Woolwich on Wednesday morning for the purpose of keeping the grounds. Should the weather prove fine, the number of visiters will, without doubt, exceed any yet on record to this popular town. ORANGE RIOTS IN SCOTLAND—JULY.---The 12th of July, which is observed with so much party enthu siasm as a political anniversary in Ireland, was this year announced for celebration in the town of Airdrie, and it was understood that the Orangemen there were to walk in pro cession on the 13th—the regular anniversary day falling upon a Sunday. Twenty of the rioters were seized and brought in to Glasgow Bridewell; and a precognition is going on, with a view to ascertain the aggressors in this scene of mischief. It was at first rumoured that two men and a boy had been killed. There was also a serious riot on Monday night at Port-Glasgow. The main body of the rioters were a party of 40 or .50 Roman Catholics from Greenock, who visited Port- Glasgow for the purpose of engaging the Orangemen, and on their route to Greenock they fell in with two young men be longing to Port-Glasgow, and after maltreating them stabbed one of them slightly. A clergyman, who recently resided in the vicinity of Leicester, has decamped greatly in debt. Among the credit able claims upon him, is one for 401. due to the Sunday School children of his parish, who had placed that sum in his custody by small weekly subscriptions. A GOOD BREAKFAST.—In one of the Glasgow steam-boats, a few weeks since, a passenger contrived to snake a meal of two good speldings, or dried haddocks, fourteen eggs, and a proportionate allowance of bread and butter. Having washed down the whole with four large cups of coffee, the tourist walked upon deck to admire the scenery. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1835. COURT OF CHANCERY. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Uti Yesterday a Ladies' boot and shoe maker, named Cohen, was summoned before the LORD MAYOR by a Lady named Lee, under the following rather odd circumstances. Miss Lee some time ago, ordered a pair of boots at Mr. Cohen's shop, which is famous for neat fits. The boots, the upper part of which were made of certain stuff which is generally substituted for Leather by Ladies who have no cause to be ashamed of their legs, proved to have cer tain flaws which discovered themselves after two days' wear. She then called on Mr. Cohen, whom she paid upon delivery, and exhibiting the imperfections in her bargain, claimed a deduction from the charge. No attention, how ever, was paid to her claim, and the boots, which the master had piomised to repair, were returned in a still worse condition, and to this hardship was added the imperti nent insinuation that in her attempt to make a small boot fit a foot of large dimensions she had herself occa sioned the calamity. The LORD MAYOR asked the defendant what he had to say in answer to the charge ? Defendant—l assure you, my Lord, I expostulated with the Lady upon the dispro portion between the boot and the foot ; but she would be squeezed into a small size, and, as might be expected, the article could not stand the bursting propensities of a foot forced into a small compass. Besides, the boot had been worn three weeks. The sister of the complainant declared that the pair of boots which the complainant had on at the moment were smaller than those alluded to, and still by no means pinched the foot. All the recompense offered by the defen dant was the allowing of a shilling in the purchase of a new pair. The LORD MAYOR, having examined the boots, said that it by no means appeared to him that they had been in jured by the pressure of over-sized feet. His Lordship then desired the sword bearer, who attends him on public occasions, to look at the young Lady's foot, and let him know whether it was of such bulk as would be likely to to punish a boot in two days' wear. The sword-bearer undertook the task with alacrity, and having made the necessary examination, " with spectacle on nose," assured his Lordship that there was no founda tion in the world for the defence, as the foot was as pretty an article as a man could see in a day's walk. The LORD MAYOR appeared at first to be very well satisfied with his sword-bearer's authority upon the sub ject ; but The sister of the defendant stepped forward, and said that she was present when her brother advised Miss Lee to have a larger pair of boots, and that the young lady would listen to nothing but skin-tights.--(Laughter.) The LORD MAYOR—What ! Do you say too that she is large footed, and that she wanted to counteract the work of nature by tight lacing ? Miss Cohen—Certainly ; the foot was much larger than the boot, and as she walked in the boots for several days, the fractures must have occurred. Tho LORD MAYOR—Then I shall just have a look at the foot myself.—(Great laughter.) A glance at the younc , lady's half bunch of lower fives perfectly satisfied his Lord ship that the judgment of the sword-bearer in matters of that kind might be depended upon. " I decide in this case," said the Lord Mayor, " that the defendant forthwith pay back the price of the boot and the expenses. The de fence has totally failed. Pay the money, and don't prac. tise in this way. Defendant—Won't you allow me to appeal, my Lord The LORD MAYOR—Not at all. You have nothing to do but to refund the money, which must be done instanter. B 01V-STREET. Yesterday Joseph San Martin, the Spaniard, who has been some weeks in custody on suspicion of having robbed several hotels and inns in the metropolis, underwent a final examination. The office was greatly crowded with hotel keepers and others, who had suffered by the depredations of the prisoner. He was well dressed, and assumed a very confidential air while at the bar. The prisoner, who pretended he could not speak a word of English, was fully committed for trial at the next sitting of the Central Criminal Court. A man named Gonzales, who had been apprehended on suspicion of having been concerned with the prisoner, and let out on bail, appeared, and was discharged altogether, without a blemish upon his character. / MUSGRAVE V. NEWTON. This was an appeal from the Vice-Chancellor, who had overruled the plea of the defendant, alleging that the suit was defective for want of parties. The matter was argued in the week before last. Sir C. PEPYS, on the part of their Lordships, now gave judgment, and after going through the facts of the case, said, it was the opinion of their Lordships that the decision of the Vice-Chancellor, overruling the plea, must therefore be affirmed, and the appeal dismissed with costs. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORFOLK CIRCUIT.—BucrrNuH4M, JULY 18. CLARKE, GENT., V. CHETWODE, ESQ. This was an action brought by an attorney against a Magistrate, to recover damages for having been forcibly expelled from a room in which the defendant and other Magistrates were holding a Petty Sessions, and adjudicat ing upon a charge of assault. The Jury, after hearing evidence, returned a verdict for the defendant. OXFORD CIRCUIT..--ABINGDoz+r, JULY 17. John Thomas, a young man of most respectable appear ance, was charged with having robbed Micliael Phelan of eight sovereigns, a half-sovereign, and a purse. Michael Phelan—l was, on the evening of the 21st of May, driving some pigs to London, and at about half-past eight o'clock, as I was ascending a bill about a mile from Newbury, three men jumped upon me from the hedge and pushed me down—one of them presented a pistol at me. They robbed me of eight sovereigns, a half-sovereign, and a purse, and then left me, threatening me if I returned to Newbury that night. lam sure the prisoner is one of the men. The prisoner received a good character. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS summed up the evidence, and left it to the Jury to say whether the prosecutor was or was not mistaken.—Verdict—Guilty. IRISH ASSI4ES. MARYBOROLIGH, JULY 13. Two police constables, named Colburn and Quinzey, were tried for feloniously assaulting Maria Rourke. The prosecutrix being deaf and dumb, her mother, Bridget Rourke, was sworn to interpret between her and the Jury ; and the communication by signs from one to the other, with the occasional passionate, though silent, ap peals of the former to the Judge, gave a very striking and solemn character to the whole proceedings. The manner of swearing the witness was as follows : Her mother having communicated with her in dumb show, she raised her eyes and hands, then making a sign denoting fire, pointed downwards, and reverently kissed the book. The meaning of this was interpreted to be, that if she did right she would go to Heaven, if wrong she would go to a place of fire. The mother deposed, that the prosecutrix was in the habit of kneeling down as if to pray, night and morning, and was impressed with a sense of religion. She had never practised d ece it, nor any suc h arts of conceal ment as would evince a disposition in a person possessing the faculty of speech to tell a lie. By the direction of the Learned Judge, it was intimated to her that if she did give a false representation, the two men at the bar might be hanged, to which she signified that she would do nothing wrong. Several persons were brought forward to the front of the dock along with the prisoners, and she was required to identify the two men who had ill-used her. After a curious survey, she placed the wand on the head of Colburn. Be ing required to find out the other, she looked several times around the Court with a perplexed and troubled air, motioned to the Judge, and sat down. The prisoners were dressed in coloured clothes, and the Chief Justice or dered them to be removed and clothed in the uniform of the police. They were brought up so attired in company with eight other policemen, and the attention of the wit ness was again directed to them. She singled out Colburn as before, but did not recognise the other. Th e pr i soners and policemen were then ordered down, and brought for ward singly. She placed the wand as before, upon Colburn, but signified that she had no recollection of any other. The two prisoners was then placed side by side at the bar. For the fourth time she identified Colburn, but turned away from the other as unknown to her. The CHIEF JUSTICE now ordered that the trial should proceed, and the prisoners having removed the foraging caps which they had assumed with the police dress, the wit ness instantly started up, placed the waud upon Quinzey's head, and turning round to the Bench, stretched out her hands and fixed her eyes with an expression of earnestness upon his Lordship. I never saw any transition on the stage equal to this in dramatic effect. Yet there was no acting ; it was truth and nature, spontaneous, untutored, and intense. It appeared afterwards, in the course cf the trial, that Colburn was the first person who had assaulted this help less young creature. She is not yet 18, and compelled, or as he alleges, and the Jury seem to have believed, induced her to remain in his company for a considerable time during the daylight. The other prisoner did not join them till the night began to close, a circumstance which the witness de scribed by overshadowing her eyes with h er h an d s . The particulars o f th infamous transaction, for such it was, whatever may have been the legal guilt of the accused, are not fit for publication. Abundant evidence of ill-treat ment was produced, and the deplorable situation in which the prosecutrix was found, was undeniably proved. The Jury acquitted the prisoners —a verdict which the Chief Justice has be©n heard to declare " he did not expect." July 14. Patrick Dobeny and Thomas Judge, were indicted for the wilful murder of William Carter, at Ballyfinn, on the Bth day of April last. James Carter—l am a son of the deceased, who was a farmer, and occupied a tract of mountain land, which he had been permitted by the landlord to enclose for his own use. It had been previously common pasturage, along with the rest of the mountain, for the cattle of all the te nantry of the adjoining district. The enclosure gave great dissatisfaction to the neighbours, and the fences had been frequently demolished. Our family has been much abused on this account. Twelve months ago I was beaten so severely that I lay for a whole day insensible, and cannot recollect the manner of the attack, or any circumstance or person connected with it. I have a brother who was beaten before that, and so injured, that he is in a state of idiotcy ever .since, and is now confined in the Lu natic Asylum in this town. I remember the Bth of April last. I met the prisoner Thomas Judge about eight o'clock that morning, as I was going home to my breakfast, from fencing the land. He said "We were making great fools of ourselves about that fence—that we got enough about it before, and it would not before we got more." After breakfast my father accompanied me to the ditch, and re mained with me till two o'clock, when we went home to dinner. After dinner I went to another part of the any to turn a heap of manure, leaving my father dozing at tile fire. I remained at this work about half-an-hour, when an impression came over my mind, and I could not stay there any longer. I went back to the house and found my father had gone out. I went to the ditch where I had been working in the morning, and fell to work at it. I had not worked long when a pig, trespassing in the ad joining field, caught my attention, and I went to turn it out. On the way I found my father's body, covered with blood, and the stock of a pistol, with some part of the lock, lying near him on the ground. He was quite dead. I cried very loud. Pat Fitzpatrick, an approver, knew Kevin Egan and Doheny. Saw them on the Bth of April near Shone's-lane, at the back of Egan's house. Went with them to the old walls. They bid me go by the river side, and if I saw any body coming to let them know. Did not see Doheny and Egan till he went to the place where the man was • murdered. There were Doheny, Egan, Tom Judge, John Judge, Mar tin Maher, Tim Macabe, and Laurence Maher. Tom Judge had a bayonet, John Judge a shovel, Macabe a pis tol, Egan a pistol, Doheny a loaded butt, Martin Maher a bayonet, and Laurence Maher a fork handle. They were lying about the ditch. I saw Macabe fire out of a pistol at deceased, who fell. Macabe then struck him with a hatchet ; Larry Maher stabbed him with a bayonet ; Do heny struck him with a loaded butt ; Egan with the butt of a pistol ; and Tom Judge stabbed him with a bayonet. Doheny and Egan put me down, and swore to let neither father nor mother, brother or sister, know of it. Cross-examined—l met them by accident that morning. I knew they were about to commit a murder, and yet did not leave them, because I swore to go with them. I was sworn at a wake about three weeks before. Egan swore me. He and another man took me out, and swore me to keep down land-jobbers and tithe-proctors. They said at the wake they'd murder Carter, the land-jobbing thief. I was sworn a ribandman about five years a g o. I have taken three oaths in my time. My fi rs t oath was to put down land-jobbers and all tyrants, and to put down Pro testants for taking land. That was five years ago. My second oath was to kill Carter. The third was the oath not to tell of the murder. It was Egan bid me meet them at the old walls, and told me for what. There was -to be word given on the day that he (deceased) would be out. Egan and Doheny were with me on that day. They said they did not. get the old thief. On the day of the actual murder I did not get word, but happened to be going. After hearing other evidence, the Jury remained shut up until ten o'clock, when, as there was not the least hope of their coming to an agreement, they were discharged, and the prisoners remanded till the next Assizes. It is understood that 10 of the 12 were for a verdict of Guilty. In the last three months 1,691 persons emigrated from Cork to America.—Cork Co pier. MARYLEBONNE. Yesterday, Anna Foster, a well-dressed female, about twenty-five years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. RAWLINSON, charged with having burglariously entered the premises of her uncle, Mr. Joseph Foster, a respectable eating-house keeper, 51, Seymour-street, Euston-square, and stolen therefrom cash and wearing apparel to the amount of upwards of 30/. She also stood charged with having attempted, in the most desperate manner, to cut her throat with a razor, on being taken into custody. The prisoner cried bitterly during the investigation, and round her neck wore a white linen bandage completely con cealing the wound (fortunately but a slight one) which, in a rash and frenzied moment, she had inflicted. The property recovered was identified, and the prisoner, who said that the devil had tempted her to commit the robbery, for which she was very sorry, was sent to Newgate for trial. THAMES OFFICE. Yesterday John Gallswitz, a remarkably tall man, who upon being put at the bar assumed a most martial attitude, was brought before Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr. COOMBE, charged with committing an outrageous assault on a young woman named Mary Kelly. _ The prisoner, in answer to questions by the magistrate, was a Spanish soldier belonging to one of the regiments at the depot in the Isle of Dogs. The complainant was standing at the corner of Dock street, St. Geerge's, on Saturday night, about a quarter past twelve o'clock, when the prisoner came up, and, with out speaking a word, knocked her down and kicked her several times in the back. A policeman, 236 K, witnessed the assault, and every word the girl had stated was true. She gave no provoca tion whatever. The prisoner, in his defence, said the woman boxed his ear, and hit him in the breast. The policeman.—That's false. This here lady (pointing to a little woman by his side) can prove the assault. " This here lady," one Maria Everett, a costermonger's wife, said she saw the Spaniard strike the woman in a very " awful" manner. Mr. BALLANTINE—How came you out of the barracks at such a late hour ? The prisoner made a reply in broken English. Mr. BALLANTINE—Can you speak French ? Wayling, an old and active officer of the establishment, finding the prisoner made no answer, bawled in the pri soner's ear, " Polley, woo ?"—(Loud laughter.) Mr. BALLANTINE, (who joined heartily in the laugh)— There, you hear what the officer says, " Polley woo"—can you explain that ? The prisoner, in very bad French, said absence had been allowed him for a few days. Mr. BALLANTINE said the prisoner's French was worse than his English. The policeman handed in a paper which appeared to be written by the Adjutant of the 4th regiment of the corps attached to the cause of Queen Isabella of Spain, which gave the prisoner leave of absence. The policeman believed the prisoner intended to leave the service. The Magistrates should send him back to the depot. He had better be campaigning in Spain that among women in London. He was then handed over to the police, who had orders to remove him forthwith to the depot, Mr. Bal lantine threatening to commit him as a vagabond if he made his appearance again. STATE OP TIKE POOR IN IRELAND.—The ac counts from Mayo are frightful. Young and hitherto healthy persons are dying, absolutely dying of starvation. The state ment is made in a letter from the Priest of Newton- Pratt, the Rev. James Hughes, inserted in a Dublin contemporary Jour nal. It is this :—On yesterday, about twelve o'clock, A. M., died of starvation in the village of Murrivough, on the wectern part of this parish, Mary Carolan, aged about 20 years ; her family I have known to be, the entire season, in the greatest destitution. This poor unfortunate girl had been always re markable for rude and strong health ; she lived at her service up to the present distress, when she was sent home. It must be truly frightful to reflect what effect famine must have on the debilitated constitutions of more than seven thousand indivi duals, out of a population of 11,761, who have not the usual clothes worn by persons moving in the humblest walks of life, and of more than eight thousand who sleep on the bare ground, svith no better beds than rotten straw, and heath of green rushes. The two principal landed proprietors in this parish, whose starving drivers I fed last week with the meal sent here by the London Committee, and who take annually out of this parish nearly 5,0001. from their present starving tenantry, have not contributed so much as a single farthing towards the allevia tion of the present distress.—Cork Reporter. MAIL COACH CONTRACTS.—The mail coach system was admirable at the time of its establishment. But why now combine the conveyance of mails and the conveyance of passengers ? A light but strong framework, with seats for the coachman and guard, and a box for the mail, might be constructed so as not to be one-fourth, certainly not more than one-third of the weight of the present mail coach with its load, and might be more easily drawn at the rate of thirteen miles an hour than the clumsy and ponderous machine is at ten. We might thus have letters front London at ten or half-past ten in the morning, instead of two or half-past two in the after noon ; and as the letters to London would not require to be sent off till four hours after the present time of departure—say till a quarter to two o'clock—time would be given between arrival and departure to write answers and execute orders, and thus one whole day would be saved in communication between the two places , —Nancheger Times, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, JITLY 20. The SPEAKER took the Chair at half-past.three o'clock. Lord GEORGE LENNOX moved the third reading of the Bognor Improvement Bill. Mr. POTTER took occasion to observe, that he was now as warm a supporter of the Bill as be had formerly been an opposer of it. He trusted Hon. Members would in future attend more particularly to the clauses of Bills called Im provement Bills, to prevent objectionable clauses being intro duced. After a few words in support of the Bill from Captain PECHELL, a clause was added by way of rider, and the Bill was then read and passed. Mr. ROBINSON presented a petition from the inhabitants of Greenwich and Woolwich, in favour of the extension of the Greenwich rail-road to Gravesend. Mr. COLLIER presented a petition from Plymouth, praying for an alteration in the duties on timber. Sir JOHN JOHNSTON presented a petition from Scar. boro', against any grant being made to the Church of Scotland. Mr. HUMPH ERY presented a petition from the borough of Southwark, in favour of the Dorchester labourers, and ano ther, the purport of which we did not hear. Mr. HAWES supported the petition. Colonel PERCE VAL presented several petitions from pa rishes in the county of Meath, and the Deanery of Kilmack noise, against the Irish Church Bill, and on the subject of the oath taken by Catholic Members. Dr. BALDWIN, as the only Catholic in the House, defended the conduct of the Catholics ; the only intention of these peti tions was to prevent them from voting on the Irish Church Bill, but they would not be intimidated by such a manoeuvre. Lord MA HON presented a petition from the Clergy of the Diocese of Rochester against the Appropriation Clause of the Irish Church Bill. COMMON LANDS. Lord EBRINGTON presented a petition from certain in habitants of Castlemorton complaining of the conduct of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster in endeavouring to dispos sess them of lands which they had purchased, or which had descended to them from their predecessors by inheritance, and which had been bought and sold with the full per suasion of the validity of the sale, and had been in the possession of the petitioners and their families for periods varying from 30 to 100 years. The petitioners had also ex pended money in erecting buildings upon and otherwise im proving the condition of the lands, and therefore thought it would be an act of great injustice if they were unceremo niously ejected from them without any just cause or compensa-: tion. He (Lord E.) had no knowledge of the petitioners, who appeared to be persons of humble station, because their signa tures consisted of a mere mark added to their names, which were written by some other person. Since, however, he had re ceived the petition, he had made inquiries, and was satisfied that the allegations of the petitioners were correct. This was a matter of importance, because an action had been recently sustained by the Dean and Chapter in reference to their claim against Lord Somers, a nobleman whom all would admit to be the last man likely to attempt to appro priate any part of his neighbours' property to himself. He was prosecuted for the restitution of a piece of land which was inclosed by his predecessor 50 years ago, and he imme diately offered to throw it open; but that was refused by the Dean and Chapter, who claimed it as their freehold, and Lord Somers, who defended the action more for the sake of the poor com moners than his own, was cast in expenses of 4001. Of course, after that failure, it was useless to carry the proceedings any further, and the land was seized by the Dean and Chapter. —(Cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") He did no t w i s h to make any severe remarks upon the conduct of the Dean and Chapter, but every one who knew the circumstances of that proceeding considered it to have been a very harsh one. -As the law stood, however, he was quite aware that the House could afford no immediate remedy ; but, he trusted, that in the course of next Session some alteration would be made in the law, that the Church might no longer be in a position to exer cise such a very odious and invidious power.—( Hear.) Major BEA UCL ERK did not bl ame th e D ean an d Chap ter so much as th e present state of the law. He bad seen latterly in the county of Surrey many instances wherein simi lar disputes were raised about lands which had been two hundred years in quiet possess on of the occupiers, or their forefathers.—(Hear.) He trusted Ministers would do something to settle these claims—indeed they ought to have done something two years ago, after the opinion which was then delivered by the Attorney-General in favour of limit ing the right of the Dean and Chapter to the same term as that of Crown possession. To such an arrangement he did not think that even the Clergy would object. Mr. ROBINSON supported the prayer of the petition, as this was a case of extreme hardship. The petition was not merely signed by the parties who were interested in the proceedings taken by the Dean and Chapter, but was also signed by their fellow parishioners, who considered this case one in which the parties were certainly entitled to protection. The Dean and Chapter had for a great many years allowed these encroachments, and were now about to retake possession of these lands by ejectment, after improve ments had been made on them, and when the parties supposed that from lapse of time and undisturbed possession, the pro perty had become their own.—( Hear.) Of course they could not pretend to expect that the Dean and Chapter would forego their just rights, but in a case such as this they might expect a little more forbearance.—( Hear.) He feared that cases like this would excite much more clamour against the body of the clergy of the Established Church, and have a greater tendency to bring the Church into danger, than the efforts of all those persons who were adverse to the Church. The petition was laid on the table. CORPORATION REFORM. Colonel SIBTHORP presented a petition from the free men of Lincoln, praying for the preservation of their corporate rights. He trusted that this Bill would not pass—a Bill which annihilated the rights of so many persons. A more ridiculous Bill—a Bill containing such violations of the rights of man and property had never been seen in any Parliament in the world. —(A laugh.) It was a strong proof of the want of feeling on the part of his Majesty's Government.—( Great laughter.) He would, regardless of all opposition, protect the poor m an from his Majesty's unfeeling, an d h e hoped soon to be able to say, degraded and disgraced Ministers.—( Great laughter.) Mr. POTTER—The freemen had been convicted, and judgment passed on them accordingly. Colonel SIBTHORP—Those who differed from him on the Reform question now supported him, as they were quite sick of what they now saw was nothing more nor less than con founded humbug. Lord STO RMONT presented petitions from several places in Scotland in favour of a grant to the Established Church of Scotland. CORPORATION REFORM. The Noble Lurd then presented a petition, signed by 1,600 freemen of the City of Norwich, praying that that city might be excepted from the operation of the Muni cipal Reform Bill. There were between three and four and-twenty hundred freemen in the city, and of that number not less than 1,600 had signed the petition in the course of two days ; and they prayed that they might be heard by Counsel at the Bar of that House against the Bill. The petition was signed by both parties, both Whigs and Torier. The Noble Lord concurred in the prayer of the petition. IRISH CHURCH. Colonel BRUEN presented petitions from Carlow against the Irish Church Bill. Sergeant JACKSON presented petitions from Temple martyr, and from other parishes in Cork to the same effect. Col. BRUEN presented a petition from the merchants and boat-owners residing on the banks of the Shannon, praying for the establishment of a harbour at Kilrush. HANDLOOM WEAVERS. Mr. WILLIAMS presented a petition from 7,000 hand loom weavers, residing chiefly in Bethnal-green, complaining of their present distressed state, and that their wages had been reduced 47 per cent., and praying the legislative interference of that House. He begged to ask the Hon. Member for La nark, who was Chairman of a Committee upon this subject, if any Report bad been made, or any steps taken, relative to the distress of this numerous and deserving class ? Mr. JOHN MAXWELL felt deeply the importance of this subject, and he should take an opportunity to-morrow night, on moving for a Committee of the whole House, to place before it the strong claims which the hand-loom weavers had to some legislative interposition. If that opportunity was afforded him, he would show that they asked nothing prejudi cial to any other class, and he trusted and hoped that his Ma jesty's Government would not refuse to take the case into con sideration. Dr. BOWRING would be greatly grieved if the measure of the Hon. Gentleman were to be entertained. So far from diminishing the distress now existing, in his opinion it would greatly add to it, and, therefore, he would oppose it.--( Hear, hear.) When the case came before the House he would state his opinions upon the subject, because he had the misfortune to differ from many of his constituents, and more especially the magistrates of one of the largest towns he represented. He was one of those who had always made the welfare of the people the guide of their public conduct. In this instance he had the misfortune to differ from large masses of the people ; but he trusted the time would come when they would find that he, and those who opposed the motion of the Hon. Gentleman, were their best friends. NEWSPAPER STAMPS. Mr. WILK S presented a petition from the friends of the public library in Boston, in which the petitioners stated, that they were joined together by the payment of small sums, which did not enable them at present to have so much of political knowledge as they wished—they therefore prayed that the House would abolish such stamp duty, and also the duty on paper. A friend of his had come over from America, and in a letter to him he stated that the circulation of papers in America amounted to 750 millions, being ten times more than in this country. Sir G. CLERK presented a petition from a parish in the county of Edinburgh, praying for protection, and a further grant to the Church of Scotland. Dr. BO WRING presented one from Moffat against any further grant, and expressing thanks to the Government for the appointment of the Commission, and hoping that it would be properly selected. Mr. RONA YNE presented a petition from Clonmell, complaining that the Corporation there, since the passing of the Reform Bill, had been manufacturing freemen ; they stated, that for five years before the passing of that Bill they had made only one freeman, while, since then, they had made no less than eighty-three. Mr. 0' LOGHL E N presented a petition from the Solicitors of Dublin, complaining of the payment of certain fees. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON supported the prayer of the petition, which, after a short conversation, was referred to the Committee. On the motion of Mr. TOOKE the Botley Road Bill WW I read a second time. -,u; STATE OF THE RIVER SHANNON. Lord CLEMENTS presented a petition from the Grand Jury of Leitrim, complaining of the neglected state of the. , river Shannon. He hoped this subject would bo taken into" serious consileration. ORANGE LODGES. Mr. WILSON PATTEN, Chairman of the Committee on Orange Lodges, brought up a Report, and moved that the Committee have leave to report to the House from time to time the evidence brought before them. This motion was con.. sidered necessary, in consequence of the Committee being un able to complete parts of the evidence for want of some authen tic documents which they had not yet received from the Right Hon. the Secretary of the Irish Orange Institution. Mr. JACKSON begged to call the attention of the House to some statements which had gone abroad relative to the issue of warrants for the formation of Orange lodges among the military, under the sign manual of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland. He was authorized to state that from 300 to 500 warrants received the signature of his Royal High ness, as Imperial Master of the Orange Institution, but they were not filled up by him, nor were they-intended to be used for the establishment of Orange Lodgesamongst the military; and if such an use had been made of them, it was entirely without the knowledge or consent of his Royal Highness. Mr. H. MAXWELL said if blame was attached to any parties connected with these warrants, there was none due to his Royal Highness, who, when an application was made to him for a warrant for the formation of an Orlnge Lodge in a Regiment gave a positive refusal. He had full permission and authority from his Royal Highness to give a direct contradiction to the imputation, that he had ever given his consent to the establishment of military Orange lodges through the medium of the Horse Guards.—( Hear.) Captain CURTE IS would remind the Hon. Members who had just addressed the House, that the Duke of Cum berland was at present an officer in the army.—( Hear.) A Lodge had been formed in the regiment in which he com manded, and which was composed chiefly of Roman Catholics, without the knowledge and permission of the officers— ( Hear.) It appeared to be the wish of some persons to excite ill-will and indignation between the Protestants and Roman Catholics in the army.—( Hear, hear.) He did not know what the intention of Mr. Hume was, but he hoped he would persevere in this business; but if he did not, and no other Hon. Member took it up, he should consider it his duty to do so. —( Hear, hear.) Mr. H. GRATTAN said it was clear that orders and war rants had been issued and used in the manner alluded to, but the question was, whether, if these orders were unauthorised or forged, who were thepersons that had sent them out ? He would beg the Honourable Member to take care, and would ask him who sent five Members down from the Grand Lodge to Monaghan, because he was there at the time, and lie witnessed the greatest mischief resulting from that deputa tion? Who set up one part of the peasantry against another, and excited such confusion that it could not be subdued, nor had it yet subsided ? If those orders were unauthorised, then these persons had been entrapped by the forger and fabricator of the Duke of Cumberland's name.—(Cries of " Sign ma nual.") He knew very well that the warrants were signed in blank, but be wanted to know who filled them up.— (Cries of " Hear, hear.") Had the Committee any means of ascertaining the names of the grand Committee, because, if they had not, how could the forger be discovered ? This matter could not rest here. Under the authority of these warrants men had assembled together armed, and had gone forth Ewing, and wounding and killing persons. Let them read the Inquest taken before the Coroner at Belfast, and there they would see that while regiments in which existed no Orange Lodges re fused to fire, that portion of the military which belonged to Orange Lodges were always ready to do so. A stop must be put to these proceedings, even if they waited here until Christmas. The House could not separate until something decisive was done.—( Hear, hear. ) Mr. WILSON PATTEN said the names of the Orange Lodge Committee were before the Committee at the present time, and be believed that more evidence would be laid before the House in a few days. Mr. H. MAXWELL could not answer some of the re marks of the Hon. Gentleman opposite in reference to a war rant issued in 1821, because he was not a member of the Orange Institution, until 1823. He was not aware until be beard it mentioned in Committee that there was a single Orange Lodge connected with the army: Mr. RUTHVEN said the complaint was not so much to be levelled against the warrants as the institution itself. If the Duke or Cumberland sent over blank stamps to those parties, to be used as they pleased, he did give his Illustrious authority to the matter--they had been used most wickedly before, but never so much so as in the present instance, when they had been sent to the military to inflame them, which even the Duke of Cumberland had no right to do. The motion was then agreed to, and the first Report was brought up by Mr. W. Patten. ABERDEENUNIVERSITIES. Sir ROBERT PEEL said he wished to ask the Hon. Member for Aberdeen what were his intentions with re spect to a very important Bill which he had introduced respecting _ the junction of the two Universities of that city ?—( Hear.) That was a question which had excited very considerable interest in the North, and ought not to be pressed on so late in the Session: He (Sir R. Peel) was not op posed to the principle of the Bill, the union of the two colleges, but it would be very important that that should be done with the good will of all parties. There was no chance of doing so at this period of the session, and if it was pressed he would give it all the opposition in his power ; but if it was allowed to stand over till next session he ( Sir R. Peel) wouldnot say a word upon the matter. Mr. BANNERMAN had no doubt the Hon. Baronet had received many letters upon the subject, and seen Much of the ill-natured controversy that had been going on upon the matter. Every sort of abuse had been heaped upon him (Mr. B.), and the terms spoliation, ruin, and robbery of the Universities had been used when speaking of his con duct, and it had been said that he had - had, for the sake of popularity, introduced a measure of such a character as no one had ever had the hardihood to do before. He was sorry that he saw no chance of carrying the details of the Bill this Session, and he of course had no objection to give-in to the suggestion of the Right Hon. Baronet. He had been charged with hurrying on the Bill ; the fact was, that he had, given notice of the Bill more than three months ago, and those notices were published in the Aberdeen news papers. Besides, he had himself given notice to the two Prin cipals. He was afraid if they waited for the cordial union of both parties upon this measure, they must wait till the mil lenium.—( A laugh.) He was almost ashamed to state that he had been found great fault with for filing the Com mittee on the Bill for Thursday next, because that was the day fixed upon in the North for a day of fasting and hu miliation. He had wished to have fixed it sooner, but did think they would be as well employed as those in Scotland. Sir R. PEEL said he interfered only as a Member of the 'lonic, and with an anxious desire to have all parties pleased with the result. IRISH COERCION ACT. Lord J. RUSSELL—In the absence of my Noble Friend the Secretary for Ireland, I have been requested to give notice that it is his intention to introduce a Bill for the suppression of local disturbances in Ireland. And likewise of a Bill respect ing amendments to the Acts relating to the Police of Ireland. The House is aware that an Act which was passed last year, called the Coercion Act, would expire on the first of August, and I must inform the House that it is not the intention of his Majesty's Government to propose any renewal of that Act.—(Tremendous cheering from the Minis terial side of the (louse.) My Noble Friend will state the ground on which he proposes to introduce the two Bills of which I have given notice. CORPORATION BILL. The Noble LORD then moved the Order of the day for the third reading of the Municipal Corporation Bill. Sir RICHARD V Y VYAN, in pursuance of the notice which he had given, rose to offer a few observations on this Bill before it should pass that House. The fact of this Bill having been brought in by his Majesty's Ministers did not alter his opinion of it—he considered it a a Bill of spoliation. —( Hear, hear.) On what grounds did this Bill sweep away the rights of all the freemen of England? He bad heard no argument that could pal liate this act of injustice, which he considered one of the first of a series of inroads on the Constitution. If they could parry this first blow there was hope that the Constitution might be preserved. The present system of Corporations were said not to be in harmony with the times in which we lived.—( Hear, hear.) He should like to know what Institution was in harmony with the principles of those who had advocated general Reform for the last few years? The Hon. Baronet then referred shortly to the several Acts which had passed relating to Corporations, and said, that up to the present moment, with the exception of the Scotch Bill, which passed a session or two ago, there was no precedent whatever for Parliamentary interference with existing charters of the Municipality. The Noble Lord opposite ( Russell) and his Majesty's Ministers had done what no Government before— e—no, not the revolution Government of 1646 had attempted. As far as Bristol was concerned this Bill took away those honours which had been recognized by many Charters. The Lord Mayor of London did not keep his gilded coach for his own benefit, but for that of the public—it was for the purpose of exciting the apprentice, who saw it in passing, to good conduct, so that he might hope to arrive at the same civic dignity. —( Hear.) There was no excitement about the Bill in the country, it was not called for by the country, for there were not as many petitions presented in its favour, as it did away with Corpo rations. lie did not think the Irish Church Bill was to be put in competition with this Bill, for as long as they had Protestant ascendancy to rely upon they w ere sa f e ; b u t h av i ng once given way on this Bill, there were many measures which they might expect—which were sure to follow. At present the King selected the gentlemen who were to act as Ma gistrates, but they were residents of the county, and were not sent down to the place.-._( Hear, hear.) Again, the office held by the Judges was an independent office. Now, if ithis Bill was passed, and a general system substituted, the present noble constitution of magisterial power would be endangered. The rights of Peers were considered inviolable by law, and why were they inviolable ? Only because they were considered so. What was to prevent a Bill from being brought in to-morrow by some Hon. Gentleman of strong opinions, to take from Peers their right to sit in the other House of Parliament ? What was there to render the robe of a Peer more sacred than the _gown of. an Alderman r. As. to the rights of freemen, the Bill was a measure of spoliation.
