ORANGE RIOT IN ARMAGH.

The Orange anniversaries have not, it seems,
this year passed over without a Manifestation of
the old brutal party strife. A Dublin Protestant
journal gives the following account of the celebra-
tion of Boynewater in Armagh
()wing to the Ist of July falling 011 SlUlday this:
year the celebration of the anniversary was postponed
till Monday evening, the only demonstration pre-
viously being the hoisting of flags on the church
tower, and on a tree in the gaol square. On
Monday evening (the 2nd inst.) the celebration took
place. An immense number of Protestants assembled at
Barrack-hill and Ballinahone, the usual places of ren-
dezvous, and marched through the suburbs of the city
and on the highways leading to and from it, preceded
by several drums and fifes, but not playing any party
tunes. They continued this amusement till about ten
o'clock, when they repaired to a hill adjoining the union
workhouse, where several tar-barrels and a large bonfire
were lighted, and where they remained for some time.
About half-past ten o'clock the whole party left the hill ex-
cept a few children, who remained with the dying embers
of the fire; and it was resolved that they should play one
or two tunes, march round the suburbs once more, and
then retire for the night. Unfortunately, however, as
they were about to carry this resolution into effect, news
arrived that the Roman Catholic party, who were out
beating drums and marching, for the mere aggravation of
the Protestants, were wrecking Callen-street, which is in-
habited by Protestants, and is, in fact, the only place so
inhabited in the Irish-street quarter of the city. On hearing
this news the Protestants proceeded towards Callen-street
to relieve their friends, and just as they arrived at the
approach to the street they were met by a volley of
stones from a mob. The Protestants, of course, replied
to this assault, and stones and pistol shots were freely
exchanged. Sub-Inspector Faussett and the con-
at great personal risk, rushed
stabulary immediately,
in between the two parties, and kept them separate
as well as possible :.tintil Mr. William Paton, Mr.
John Gervais Winder, and Mr. Hugh Boyle, magis-
trates, arrived at the locality, when their united
efforts restored tranquility, but not until consider-
, able damage had been done to a number of houses in
Irish-street and Callen-street, the doqsAnd windows of
which are completely shattered. The •aub-inspector of
police and several of tl4 41eU ;Were struck with stones,
but not serigssly hurt. Scilne half-dozen civilians,
ilowtveTz luquAgen injured considerably by blows of
stones and other: weapons; one man in particular
was almost 'on the spot by a stone, which
struck him on the back of the head. The subject
in all probability will come tinder the inquiry
of the magistrates, and ia tba meantime it may be
sufficient to state, co,aeernlng the origin of the conflict,
that the Protc4-ant party, sere never more determined
Ca have kept the anniversary peacealtly—for which
pluTlose their country friends 441 not come into town,
but remained in their own districts. Perhaps the
knowledge cf this fact emboldened their opponents to
bthro out their, drums and fifes on an Orange anniver-
any, as a challenge to the Protestants, who were loyally
and jaeacefully engaged in commemorating an event fur
‘‘ Lich every lover of freedom should be thankful."

- NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.
DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES AT THE CRYSTAL

PALACE.
THE BRASS BAND CONTEST.

The distribution of the prizes won at Wimbledon by
the competitors at the National Rifle Association, will
take place at the Crystal Palace, on Monday next, at
three o'clock. To afford proper official eclat to the
occasion, the successful candidates will receive their
well-earned distinctions from the hands of the Right
Hon. Sidney Herbert, M.P., the ministor of war, who
will be supported by the members of the council of the
association.

The Handel orchestra will be appropriately .decorated
for the occasion with flags and trophies, and the names
of the competing corps, and a raised dais erected in front,
along which the whiners will proceed in turn to receive
the prizes won by them.
Military bands will occupy the space round the great
organ, the front rows of the orchestra being occupied by
the members of the Rifle Association and their friends.
On either side of the military bands, seats will be
reserved for the members of the Rifle Corps, and it is
anticipated that the most imposing military display will
be presented on the great orchestra which has yet been
seen.

---
The ceremony of presentation will commence at three
o'clock, and is expected to occupy about two hours. At
its conclusion a series of athletic sports and exercises, in
which the volunteers will take part, will commence in
the grounds, and be continued until dusk ; thus enabling
those who are unable to leave London at an early hour,
- .
to take some part in the proceednigs connected with this
great national work.
As no alteration will take place in the usual Monday
admission, viz., one shilling, a large attendance is anti-
cipated. Reserved seats will be provided. • .it
On Tuesday and Wednesday the greatest meeting of
brass instrument performers which has ever been
assembled will be held at the Crystal Palace. In the
north of England contests for prizes among the mem-
bers of brass bands are frequent, but no one has ever
been attempted on such au externded scale as that now
contemplated.
For the prizes announced, ninety-nine brass bands
have entered the lists. They are;from all parts of the
country, but mostly from the grout manufacturing dis-
tricts. The members of these bands—nearly two thou-
sand in number—will, with their friends, be conveyed
to London by cheap special excursion trains on. Monday

next. All the great railway companies run these trains
specially for the occasion.
The leaders of the bands assemble at Exeter-hall the
same evening, and draw tots for the order in which they
will play at the following two days' contest. Eight plat-
forms will be erected in different parts el the Crystal
Palace grounds, the judges for each platform stationing
themselves in a tent in the immediate vicinity .of the
platforms.

ramo esti

At three o'clock on each day the whole of the bands
will assemble on the great Handel Orchestra; which
they will entirely fill, and perform , unitedly. " Vat
Heavens are telling " and the •" Hallelujah" choruses,
Meudelssolues " Wedding March," " Rule, Britannia,"
and " God save the Queen."


The torrent of sound which will be emitted from the
two thousand brass instruments thus brought-together
must be of the most extraordinary character, and it may
safely be predicted that•nuthiug equal to it has yet bees
heard.

After this united perfOrmance the. trials will .be con-
tinned until dusk on each day, the first being devoted
to the selected bands. • No braid brought up for the
contest will be allowed to play elsewhere than at the
Crystal Palace.
The whole of tlif: arrangements will bo under the
direction of Mr. End erby Jackson,
of Hull, whose long
experience in arranl ;ing these contests iS a guarantee
that the entire detai 13 will be carried out iu a satisfac-
tory manner. Tht judges . will be chosen from the
leading military btt udmasters in the country.

On Thursday the! National Rose Show will be held at

the Palace, and ax all the principar groNiers—both ar4a-
teur and professional—of this favourite dower are mem-
bers of the society, a most extensive and pleasing•displaj
is anticipated.

probably a long life before her, which she might spend
•
in happiness and credit.
The defendant, who appeared to be still suffering
from the effects of her frightful leap, said, in a sorrow-
ful tone, that she had been acquainted with a- young .
man for the last three years, and that a few' weeks ego
he married a young woman, a circumstance which had
since pr eyed so much on her mind that she was driven -
to des pair, and in that state of mind she sought to
destro), herself. She added that she was now Very sorry
for what she bad done.

answer to questions put by the court, said that the
defendant was his daughter ; that from her childhood
she had always been an affectionate and well-conducted
girl ; and that he had not the least complaint to make
against her. He did not know the man who had paid
his addresses to her, nor did he wish to know him.
Sir R. Carden, after ma admonition, discharged the

dead. An inquest had been held upon the body

attempt her life again.
The mother of the defendant said that she would take

Mr Tyrwhitt said that this was the most romantic ease
that bad ever come before him, and was more like those
cases that came before the Fiench courts than before the

would discharge her on this occasion, and he hoped her
mother would look after her.
The defendant, who fainted in the duck, was then.
