SiMpldn, Mamball, and Co: TONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1853 FOR IMPORTANT NEWS FROM AMERICA, CALIFORNIA, AND AUSTRALIA, SEI OUR sympathies have been very much pained 'of late, by having to announce such repeated dis- n connection with Emigrant ships Within lie past fortnight, no less than three instanc have occurred, wherein the sacrifice of human life has been verl; . considerable. That to which we now direct attention, is the wreck of the ship Dalhousie ; a detailed account of which will be found iu another part of our paper lie description of, the wreck, as furnished by the only survivor, and one of the ship's crew, is ld if his account be trill hich we rtain not ti lightest doubt, he bravery worthy recipients , of _public money with the-:, total amount ,received fqr the public good, and having given therm credit for the actual amount of work done, we then strike a balance, reserving to our selves, as in the present case, the right of a more rigid investigation at some-future day. There are few duties which public journalists are called on to discharge in .which there is such a mixture of painful and pleasurable feelings. A due regard for the public weal, and a profound respect ,for that peculiar disinterestedness which is the boasted characteristic of all .members of our Cor porate bodies, and the extraordinary nervous sensibility of Common Councilmen generally, draw so largely on one's sympathies, that we would, in many instances, ;wish that there were no such things as Borough Accounts. We have somewhere read of: a Town Council, which, having received a significent hint, that their accounts would be " rigidly investigated," became so indignant that they positively threatened to expatriate themselves, while one of its . members became so intensely enraged, that on being aSlced by a brother Councilman for the loan of kpencil for a few seconds, he deliberately took off his coat and waistcoat, which he • handed to his friend, and :was next • proceeding to take off a few more of his habiliMents when he was reminded by the by •standers• that his friend only asked for a pencil. Now, as we have no wish to see the Einigration -returns of our port swelled by - the names of any of our Council Board, and as we fear that extraor dinary nervous excitement might - produee ;dan gerous apoplectic symptoms, we shall take care to approach the subject with more than usual mildness. By the way of a preface, then, we would merely observe, that the gross income derived by the Town Council from the borough of Liverpool would have been considered an excessivelyheavy Imperial burthen only three centuries ago ; while, if we do the amount into francs, florins, or dollars, it will be' found two-fold greater than the revenue of many foreign States, which have to provide for the govern- ment and protection of two or three millions of souls But " what have we to do with foreign states ?" we fancy will be the sagacious reply of our council- Here, then, we shall be compelled to remind nost inestimable body corporate, that the present taxation for the government and protec tion, of the British Empire, on which it is said " the sun never sets," does not amount to more than one pound a-head for the population of the United' Kingdom, while the sum actually at the dis posal of the Borough dignitaries, amounts to a fraction over ten shillings a=head for the popula tion of Liverpool. Our borough must therefore be looked upon as an empire, and one of ne mean character, judging from its income and expenditure The gross income is set down at £220,271 12s. ld On the debtor's side, while the ;er contra shows a surplus of £52,781 los. 7d.. The annual expendi ture of the Corporation may be said, as far as it is possible to understand the accounts, to amount to something like three-fourths of its income. To investigate such an elaborate show of figures as we have before us in the present account, is not work which can be accomplished in a moment; we, shall, therefore, devote a day or two to it, when We hope to be able . to point out where . Some slight alterations may be made with great propriety and considerable advantage to the inhabitants of the Borough. - If, in the meantime, we should discover a more simplified way of keeping accounts, we shall not omit to point it out to Mr. JOHN Wystrndn the Treasurer, as it ,would very thaterrally aid the Rate-payers ingetting at a clearer insight into their financial affairs. DEATH OF MR. ALDERMAN JOHN HOLMES- r --We deeply regret to have to announce the death of Mr. Alder man John Holmes, which took place on Saturday at his residence in Everton Crecent. The deceased Alderman was the oldest member of the Council, and was exceedingly regular in his attendance on the Committees and meetings of the Council, up to the last week or two. The decease gentleman was m the eightieth year of his age, and was universally respected by all parties in the town. The Rev. Dr. Aspinall preached his farewell ser mon to a congregation of St. Mathia's Gt. Howard-street, last evening. The Shipwrights of Liverpool intend, we under stand, to hold a public meeting in the Amphitheatre in the course of the present week. The object of the meeting is to lay before the Merchants of Liverpool, the subjects in dis pute between them and their masters. In the meantime the men continue at work. APPREHENSION IN AUSTRALIA OF AN ABSCONDED eLEnx..---Amongst the parties brought to Fn sl and from Aus tralia per the Eagle was,Tames St. Albin Qu;nu, lately a Cleric in the employ of Messrs Train & Co. of this town, who ab sconded some time since with upwards of £l2OO, the pro perty of his employers. Quinn is now lodged in the Main Bridewell, and will be brought before the Magistrates this Mn. MITCHELL, 'who has appeared on several oc casions as an amateur in aid of our local charities, is (as will be seen by'advertisement) about to make his last ap pearance on the stage in the character of Rob Roy, supported by a number of gentlemen amateurs. It may , be recollected that Mr. Mitchell, who was the originator of the amateur performance, - in March, 1845, in aid of the Licensed Vic tuallers' Institution, appeared as Sir William Wallace, in the Tragedy of that name. We understand the surplus is to be applied in presenting that gentleman with a testimonial of respect. - SIGNOR & MADAME BOLENO'S FAREWELL BENEFIT. We deeply regret that Liveipool is about to lose these dis tinguisheu representatives of the pantomimic art. Madame Boleno is one of the best columbines and Signor Boleno un approachable as clown in this count7y. Previous to leaving LiVerPool for London,' where they are about to take up their abode, Signor and adame Boleno announce their farewell benefit . in Liverpool, which, (as will be seen by advertise,- meiii) will take :place at the Amphitheatre to-morrow even ing. The bill of fare is excellent; but independent of the treat provided, we feel sure that the high esteem and respect in which Mr. and Mrs Boleno are deservedly held in Liver pool, will ensure them a "bumper." ANOTHER WRECK.—The "Mary," Captain Leveno, of Glasgow, which arrived here yesterday from Baltimore, fell in on the 20th instant, with the brigantine "John Barry, from Cardiff, bound to Malta, in a helpless condition, and took off the _crew, seven in number, and brought them - - to this port. A HINT FOR. THE LONDON ,AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY OFFICIALS.—On Saturday, in returning a verdict of accidental death upon view of the body of a man, name unknown, who died from injuries received at the entrance to the Edge-hill end of the tunnel of the London and North Wes tern Railway; the coroner's jury added that in their opinion, two officers instead , of one ,should be stationed at the lower end of the tunnel, as it was evident that one officer could not attend to two lines of rail at one time. EXTRAORDIONARY SCENE AT ST: MICHAEL'S CHURCH, Pm STREET.—Yesterclq afternoon a scene of a most unusual and painful nature took place at St. Michael's Church, Pitt-street. The incumbents of St. Michael's are the Rev. Cyrus Morrall, and the Rev. H. Carpenter, the former belonging to what is known as the high church or puseyite party, the latter to the evangelical party. For home considerable time a misunderstanding has existed between Mr.. Morrell and a section of his congregation who did not concur in his views, and placards have • been posted in the neighbourhood of Pitt-street, announcing the loss of a promisinc , young preacher .; any person return i n g hi m w ill be rewarded with an empty pew. In consequence of the dispute to which we have adverted, it would appear that an arrangement was come to, that the Rev. Mr. Bardsley was to assist at the services in St. Michael's on Sunday.—Some views of Mr. Bradsley, expressed from the pulpit, not agree ing with those of Mr. Morral, the latter gentleman as we learn, refused to allow Mr. Bardseley again to officiate, and engaged in his place the curate of St. Marks, who is also supposed to be favourable to Puseyism. This appointment, however, did not meet with the sanction of the Church. wardens Mr. Alderman Laurence, and Mr. Councillor Wagstaff,and several of their friends immediately rose and left the Church in an abrupt manner. A portion of the congyega tion not aware of the cause of this movement,became alarmed, - something like a cry of fire was •raised. The result was gregation rushed from the ehurch; and the d was more exciting th..o edifying. A le, ex hat the entire c ;cone whit gentleman . who was passing 'at the ,_ ressed ; m very strong language, his surprise at the scene h e h a d 1 witnessed Something like a repetition of the scene occurred far as possible on a uniformsystem: '-' 11: mdee act a debit the in the afternoon. • 1 :oreigm MELANCHOLY SHIPTVRECK SIXTY LIVES .LOST. . In our 'paper of Saturday we announced the founlering of the ship Dalhousie, in the Channel off Beachy Head, together with the loss \ of all on board (sixty in number) with one exception. - . The Dalholisie . was a flue Indian teak-built ship, of nearly 800 tons burthen. She was launched at Moulinem in 1848, and was, therefore, a first-class vessel, in good and sound condition. She was the property of Mr. Allan, the ship owner of Leadenhall street, and was chartered to Messrs. Fry and' Davison, of FUnehurph-strepg as one of the "Whit 3 Horse tine of Australian Passenger Ships." She went into the - EaSt - India Docks to lead for Sydney, and happily, on this occasion she was mere devoted. to the conveyance of freight than passengers. Her crew amounted to forty eight men and officers, .and her- cargo comprised every description . of merchandise, and was estimated at upward.s of XlOO,OOO. Her, master, ' Captain Butterworth. is said to have been a most experienced navigator, and to have pa sse d many years i u the owners' service. She cleared from the docks at Blackwall on the 12th, and proceeded down the river to Gravesend. Her passengers were confined to chief-cabin . class, and not' more than twenty berths in all had been secured.. Of these there went on board at Gravesend, Mr. and Mrs. Underwood and three children,'Mrs. Sinipson and three children, and Miss Rad ford; and the following expressed their intention of joining the ship at Plythouth, where she h a d •t o touch ;—Major Hawkes, Captain R Daniel, Mr. J. Baldwin, Miss Macin tosh,and her maid, Mrs. Hill, and Miss- A. M., Castles; Mrs. Butterworth, being anxi,,lN to accompany her husband, Captain Butteryvorth, to Plymouth, where she would leave, she went on board with three of her sons for thetrip. down Channel. The eldest, however, on the ship reaching the Downs, went ashore with the pilot at Deal, to return to school, which is in the neig,hbourhood. On the ,Isth the ship's dePArture from the downs wa s telegraphed to' ; and the next that was heard of her was about five o'clock on the. following afternoon, when a boat reached. Dover from the brig, 'Mitchel Grove, Which was lying off in the road stead, reporting the appalling . loss of the ship, and landing the only survivor, Joseph 1) ;ed, a _seaman, every soul o board having .perished with the vessel. The particulars of this melancholy event will be found in the subjoined statement made by Joseph Reed, the sole sui vivor. lie describes the progress of the ship from the tim she left Gravesend, to the morning of the 19th. On tl evening of the 18th a gale commenced, Beachv Head heir in sight. It continued to bIoV wi great severity the whole of the night, during which a lently, and at half-past 5 o'clock on the the writer says, she rolled right over on h ) lurched vi folloiying morning r starboard beams nat position, with her masthead in the water, lying at the mercy of the sea, which then made a clear breach over her, and washed away the larboard guar ter.boat. A great many of the crew took refuge in the.main top, and I got outside the ship on the weather quarter gallery, it 'bemg impossible to stand on deck. A sea broke into the maintopsail - and carried away the maintopmast with all its gear, and likewise washed four men out of the maintop. Captain Butterworth, the chief and second mate, the carpenter cook, and some of the crew join e d me on the weather quarter, :and they dragged through the gallery win- _ dow four passengers, consisting of a gentleman, his wi e, an two children, who took refuge with them. The declarant and another seaman also succeeded in getting out of the water a young lady who had come out of one of the poop cabins, and I lashed her to a large spar, and placed her with the rest of her party on the gallery. Immediately afterwards a large sea broke over the ship, which washed off the gentleman above-mentioned, with his wife and children (four in all), and they perighed together. At about this time a schooner was observed about half a mile to the eastward, bearing down upon the wreck. The-vessel was at that time settling fast in the water, and it was evident that she could not remain afloat many minutes longer. I cut the lashings of the spar to ,which the young lady had lren made fast, in order to give her a chance for her life. As the spar went adrift, Captain Butterworth, the second mate, and one or two of the seamen quitted the sinking ship, and held on to the spar in the hope of saving themselves, declarant being left on the quarter with the cook and carpenter.. Many of the people had by this time been drowned, but others re mained holding on as they best could, on the weather side of the wreck. She lay thus for about ten minutes after Captain Butterworth had left her, and then sank, going down head first. I scrambled from the quarter to the mizen mast, which I ascended as the ship, sank. I found the sur geon in the mizentop, and we went up together in the wizen crosstrees. When we were submerged, I lost sight of the surgeon, and I swam to some deals which were floating about. I got hold of one of them, but shortly afterwards, I saw near me one of the chocks of the long boat, capable of affording me better support than the deal, which I therefore left, and placed myself on the chock. The schooner was then within shouting distance, being about 100 yards to leeward of me, and I hailed her, begging her crew to go about to windward, and afterwards drift down among the Dalhousie's people, of whom several were still alive, and might thus have been picked up and saved, with a little exertion on the schooner's part. The only response which I. could hear from her was given by some person on hoard, who told me " Swim to her;" but she was drifting to leeward much faster than any man could swim, and she shortly afterwards stood away to the S.W., and left me and my companions struggling in the water. watched her for nearly twO.hours afterwards, but she at length disappeared, without having (so far as I could see) made the least effort to save any of us, although the schooner was close to the Dalhousie when she foundered, and her crew must have seen her go down. My companions gradually perished one after the other, and I was repeatedly washed off my frail support. Towards four o'clock brig hove in sight, standing down towards where I was floating. I .made signals to her with myhandkerchief, in thebestwaylcould, and she bore down to me, and having lowered a rope with a bowline in it, I made it fast round my body, and sprang from the chock into the sea. Although the crew of the brig observed every precaution in their power, I was unavoidably.dragged under the water for a minute or two before I could get on board, and when I at length reached her deck, I was nearly senseless. She proved to be the Mitchel Grove, Mr. RaWson master, bound from Littlehampton to Sunderland, with timber.- Captain Rawson and his crew all treated, me with the greatest kind ness and hospitality, and at four p. m. on the following d a y, the brig anchored in Dover Roads. The weather was then moderate, and Captain Rawson, having lowered a boat, landed me at Dover. I made application to the owners' agent, who furnished me with the means of com i ng t o ndon, and on the.same evening I arrived in Loudon,-and lost no time in reporting the loss of the ship to the owners. I further declare that when the ship went down the light on Bcachy 'lfead. bore from N. E. by E., distant about sixteen miles, and; ,to the best of my judgment, in about twenty fathoms of water. I believe that every person on board of her, with the exception of myself, perished. I cannot account for'the circumstance of the ship foundering in the manner she did, otherwise than upon the presumption that a butt end must have started, either from her having struck upon a wreck, or from some other cause unknown to me." It is stated that the ship and cargo were insured for a sum amounting to about £70,000. MURDER IN LIVERPOOL A murder of an unprovoked and brutal character was perpetrated in Charles-street, in this town, shortly before one o'clock yesterday morning. The circumstances under which it occurred seem to be as follows :—Richard Crispin, and John Crimp, two seamen belonging to the schooner Compeer, Gaptain Weeks, now lyi ng i n the Canning Dock, were passing through Charles-street shortly before one o'clock, when they met an American seam an named Wil liams. Crispin it would appear remarked when passing Williams by " there goes a Yankee son of a b--." upon which Williams turned sharply round, and a quarrel en sued. Whilst the quarrel was proceeding a Spanish sea man named Manuel Montero, belonging to a Spanish vessel, the Triumfante came out of a brothel in the neigh bourhood, walked deliberately up to Crispin and his com panion, and without the slightest pro Vocation stabbed b o th men in the left groin, and almost in the same place. In the confusion which ensued Montero escaped, and in a short time police officer No. 202 ( Neal) got both the wounded men removed to the Northern Hospital, but Crispin died, from loss of blood, almost immediately after his admission, whilst the surgeons were examining the wound. Crimp is very danger ously wounded, and. serious doubts are entertained as to his chance of recovery. After stabing both men, Montero again entered the brothel with his bloody knife in his hand. He wiped the knife on his trowsers to clear it. from the marks of blood, cooly remarking in broken algiish that he had rumped (stabbed) two d— English men. On examination, it was found. that the large vein running from the body to the thigh had been severed in the deceased, 'and the other man was stabbed within a quarter of an inch of the same place, the point of the knife just missing the vein. Montero would appear to have made an appointment to go to Cheshire with two females in the house out of which he came when he stabbed the deceased, and last evening he again called at the house. Information being given to the police, 11.2 was taken into custody. Williams the man with whom the deceased originally quarrelled, was also taken into custody, in consequence of a female stating that she saw him kick the deceased.twicc whilst he was down. This Williams admitted at the police-office, and both prisoners were locked up. The inquest on the body will be held this day. Williams is a seaman belonging to the ship Edward Stanley. The deceased was the son of Captain Thomas Crispin, of the Lily,of Selcombe, and was a highly respectable young man. He had sailed with Captain Weeks, in the Compeer, since April last. The other young man who was stabbed, was mate of the schooner Sarah Jane, Captain Lakey, and is also respectably connected in the west of England. DEATH nom FIRE.--A child named Galvin, aged abou three years„ was burned to death on Friday, un d er th following melancholy circumstances. It appeared that th mother of the deceased lived in a room in a lane off James's street, and that she left the child alone in this apartment in which a" fire was burning, ' and on her return in tei minutes afterwards, she found him enveloped . in flames Every effort having been made by the poor woman's friend in the neighbourhood to quench the flames, the boy wa brought to, Steevenes .hospital, where he died in two how afterwards, SUPPOSED SUICIDE AT WEST DERBY FROM UNREQUITED LOVE.-MYSTERIOUS CASE. On Saturday an inquest was held at Club-moor, before C. E. Driflield, Esq., the coroner' for the district, on the body of a young woman whose name turns out to be Maria Clarkson,, eighteen years of age, and whose remains were discovered on Thursday evening last by a servant man, John Caton, in the employ of B. H. Jones, Esq.,of Lark-hill, West Derby. It appears that whilst Caton was in a field close to Mr. Jones's residence, he observed the body of a female floating on the surface of a pond in the field. On the body being dragged to the land it was found to, be in a: state of decomposition, and had evidently been in the water some days. It is probable, from letters, which were found in the possession of the deceased, and which were produced at the inquest on Saturday, that the unfortunate deceased commit ted self-destruetion in consequence of an attachment she had formed to a young man at Fleetwood, being unrequited. The parents, who are recently dea , l, resided at Fleetwood, and her father carried on the business of a tailor, and also an hotel-keeper, at that place. The first witness examined on the inquest was John Caton, who deposed to dis covering the body, and taking it out -of the pond assisted E. by a fellow-seriant, named Robert Jackson. Mrs. Morris, 31, :Evertors-village, 'said she knew the deceased, who 'entered - her service on Monday, the 26th September. On the evening . of .Tuesday, the 4th October, at about a quarter to seven,.ueceased went for sonic candles, but did not return till half-past eight next morning, when she said that she was chased' by two men; -and that she . was frightened and lost- her ways She looked very . untidy. Witness did not say much to her, as it was not her intention to retain her. She desired her- to. take her 'breakfast, and then carry the elothes to mangle. Deceased did as directed, but did not return, and witness had heard nothing f ur th er of her until seeing the body. Some other witnesses having been examined, the jury, after ten minutes deliberation, returned the following verdict::—" That the deceased was found drowned in a pond, but how or by what means she got into it, there was no evidence to show." The letters to which we have alluded, as having: been found upon the deceased, were three in number, and apparently from a suitor at Fleetwood. The first letter breathed attachment to the deceased, and the second which seemed to be in reply to the deceased's complaint of being hard worked, stated that hard work was good for the health. The third letter expressed the wish of the writer that deceased would forget GALE ON TILE IRISH COA ST;—The steamship Adiniral, of Glasgow, which left Londonderry for Liverpool, on Thursday, did 'not arrive here until yesterday morning, about 11 o'clock. She met with a--violent storm; and was obliged to put into Belfast for coal and provisions. The steamer Sea Nymph, which left Newry, for Liverpool, at half past eleven o'clock, on Saturday • morning, did not arrive here until half-past five o'clock last night. A heavy sea was running during the whole of her passage, and the force of the gale carried away her figure head. DEATH FROM SCARLET FEVER.—On Friday after noon; at half-past six . o'clock, as James Roberts, 134, was on duty at Seacombe slit), a man, he did not know, came to him in a boat, bringing the dead body of a child. He stated that lie was an emigran . had engaged his passage on board the Ne World; the deceased was his son A person, in . , ,_ , terpreting for him, stated that he was a native of Prussia. A medical man deposed that the child died of scarlet fever, and the coroner's jury on Saturday found a verdict accordingly. A DRUNSEN MOTHER.—An inquest Was held on Saturday on the body of a child named Jane 'Sher wood, agedoue year and 10 months.. About six. weeks ago the child was Acalded by some hot coffee falling on its breast at its parents residence in Jordan-street, and it died on the 21st inst. The mother, Jane Isherwood had, in her evidence, told a terrible Story.. She went out, leaving her four children in the house, ad stayed away all day, re turning drunk at half - pest seven at night, as s h e confessed was her custo, and as another witness also swore, was her continual habit. Whilst she was out, the poor child met with the accident, which, after a lingering period of torture, terminated in death. The jury, in returning a verdict of ac cidental death, said there was gross and culpable neglect on the part of the mother, but the coroner said that such an verdict would amount to one of manslaughter, so those words were left out Of the finding. The'coroner, however, said that there was no doubt that, in - this case, a moral man slaughter had been committed. - THE TUNE CHANGED.—For the first day Richard Cobden was supreme at the Peace Congress : the bagpipers played nothing but Oh Richard, oh 112022 Rol ! On the second day, however, after Old Admiral Napier had fired off his speech, nothing was heard but—Charlie is my Darling. Punch. It is a curious fact, that the fighting at an election, and that in Turkey, are for the same object—the one being about a seat, the other about a form.—Diogenes.

Sodorholim, was made on the part of the de fendant, who is master of a foreign vessel in the corn trade, and is at present. in the gaol of Cork, to have him released from custody. It appeared that a cargo of wheat was shipped from a port in the East by the plaintiffs, and that the captain, having been driven by stress of weather to take shelter in another port, was obliged to sell a portion of the cargo, in order to defray the expenses, and the remainder was transhipped into another vessel, and ultimately delivered at Antwerp. The owners commenced proceedings against the defendant to recover the sum of £2.600, loss said to have been incurred by the sale of joart of the cargo and the dif ference of freight.. For the defendant, it was urged that at the time of his arrest, he had no intention of leaving the country, except in the discharge or his ordinary duties, as master of a vessel trading to and fro ; and that he was not liable to the sum claimed, being entitled to _pursue tho, course which hehad been compelled to adopt, in consequence of tempestuous weather; that it was not alleged that the corn had not been sold to advantage ; and that, if any loss had been incurred, it was a question of the average, and shoulebe borne proportionately by all the parties. The ap plication was refused, but without costs. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.—A quarrel which arose some time since, between tha,Dublin and Bray, and the Dublin and Wicklow companies, has been satisfactorily settled. The facts are as follow :—The Bray line which belongs to Mr. Dargan, had an act of parliament granted on the condition that carriages should run on it from Dublin to Dundrum, on or before ere Ist of July last. Now on that day, there was not the slightest sign of the railway being finished to Dandrum, but in order to comply with the act, a few carriages were got over the ground in some exceed ingly primitive manner.: This, however, did not satisfy the Wicklow company, who, being authorised to go on with their line, if the others did not comply with the re quired conditions, were of course on the watch, and imme diately took the preliminary steps for obtaining an injunc tion against the Brayites. Matters went on in this way until the other day, when an agreement was come to by the amalgamation of the two companies. 0 RANGISIVI IN LISEUEN.—The extraordinary tyranny which is sometimes exercised in party warfare, appears to have had a striking development at the Lisburn election. The Arorthern Whig o f Friday, gives a detail of some orange proceedings, which, in their nature, would do credit to a minor inquisition. It is stated that the independent candidate, Mr. - J. J. Richardson, "of the Island, having had the support of some of the allied brethren, the wrath of some of the "lodges was excited, and the result has been, that a summons was issued, after the manner of the Vohnwerieht, to the offending parties. This summons con tained' a request to attend the Assembly House, Lis burn, to receive a deputation from the Grand Lodge of Ulster, to answer certain charges against you, for supporting the liberal candidate against a brother Orangeman." This threatening notice was addressed to the chief members of lodge 356, and it is stated that the result ,of this investigation will be the withdrawal of the warrant of that lodge. As the Whig remarks, "if anything could possibly have tended to exhibit in their true colours the Orange faction in Lisburn, this last display of their character must fairly place them before the empire, and hold them 'up to the reprobation of every • right-minded individual." witness, when) . . , The COIIMISSIONER said—He is --- sorna lr tiol and that will do--I-never heard 'such an obiee e go on with the case.
