ORANGE PROCESSION AND FATAL RIOT

IN LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, Jucy 14, 3 r.w.

The various Orange clubs in this town and its
' vicinity having resolved upon a procession to day, to cele-
brate the Battle of the Boyne, assembled at their respective
lodges at an early hour, and proceeded to the place of ren-
dermas, the statue of King George 111., in the London-
road. There is a large space of ground at this spot, similar
in some respects to the square at Charing-cross, London,
before the fountains were erected. The aggregate number
could not be less than 2,000, and were probably nearer
3,000. the banners were hied in " lorries," a specks of
long low cart. Every officer of each lodge had an orange
and blue scarf, and each member was decorated with the
same colours in festoons and rosettes, and eight bands of
music were engaged.
It was determined on the part of the Irish inhabitants of
that part of Liverpool that this procession should not be
allowed to pass MI quietly ; accordingly many hundreds of
them assembled in the neighbourhood armed with stones
and other missiles. The " tylers," however, of the various
lodges bad each a drawn sword, and ;as these altogether
amounted to upwards of a hundred, and very many of the
Orangemen had also halberds, and other truncheons,
while some carried loaded pistols in their pockets, a despe-
rate conflict was speedily got up ; and, we regret to say, has
terminated in the loss of human life, the exact extent of
which we cannot as yet determine, but one policeman, one
of the procession, and an Irishman arc killed, numbers dan-
gerously wounded, and very many have received injuries
more or less severe.

As soon as the procession had got a little beyond Sey-
mour-street the Irishmen saluted the Orangemen with a
volley of brickbats and stones ; the Orangemen advanced,
those who had the pistols drew them and tired upon the
crowd, while the swordsmen and halberdiers rushed on to
their assailants, wounding many severely and putting them
to Sight. The scene at this moment it would be impossible
to describe ; several were on the ground weltering in their
blood, others were hastily borne off by their companions,
and the Orangemen, being left masters of the Geld, coolly
re-formed and proceeded through the streets, the bands
playing " The Boyne Water," taking the route to Toxteth-
park, Duke-street, Great George-street, Itanelagh-street,
Bold-street, Church-street, Lord-street, Castle-street—in

short, all the principal thoroughfares of the town, the line
extending a mile in length, and the swordsmen at intervals
throughout the line on either aide, about 200 policemen,
with Mr. Commissioner Dowling at their head, formed into
■ compact body, bringing up the rear.

At Park-lane some fresh rioting occurred, without any
very serious consequences. It was a remarkable circum.

stance that two soLliera of the 28th regiment were in the
procession.

In Gloucester•street, Shaw's-brow, de., there were num.
ben of spectators, who took no part in the affray, but who
received severe injuries from the indiscriminate attack of
the armed procession. One man had a dangerous bullet
wound in the fleshy part of the arm, another had his
thumb nearly severed from his hand, and scores might
be seen all bruised and bleeding, retreating from the terrible
conflict.

.....
Near the Castom-house, a man was left in the gutter for
dead, with a wound on his head between two and three
inches in length.
While two of the Orangemen, who had for a moment
separated from the main body, were attempting to regain
their position, they were attacked by some of their oppo-
nents. A policeman, who witnessed this proceeding,
walked up, until nearlyclose, when he made a rush at one of
the Irishmen, who was dressed like a dock porter, and
struck him on the back with his truncheon. In a moment
he was surrounded and knocked down, his hat and stick
flew high into the air, and so severely beaten that he lived
but about three hours afterwards.

The shops in the principal streets are closed; numbers of
Irishmen, with slips of grass in their hands, arc to be seen
in various parts of the town, evidently contemplating a ren
dexvous in the course of the evening. We have made in-
quiries at the last moment before closing our despatch, but
are unable to ascertain whether any more than the three I
lives, which we have already stated to be sacrificed, are
lost, but a great number are in the hospital, some of whom
are not expected to recover.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has received
from " W. S." a 51. note, No. 74,136, on account of legacy
duty. The amount has been paid over to the Receiver-
Gen( ral of Inland Revenue.

HIGHWAY ROBBERIES NEAR CARLISLE. —On
Saturday morning some daring highway robberies were
perpetrated in broad daylight in the immediate neighbour-
hood of Carlisle by a man who was armed with a six-ber-
rel revolver pistol, and wore a crape ma4c. The persona
robbed were two farmers, named Bawman and Gibson, and
Mr. Myers, a commercial traveller. From the latter two
sovereigns were obtained, and from the former a silver
watch sad a few shillings.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

GREAT MEETING AT WINDSOR.

Yesterday the grand annual cattle choirof this
society commenced in the Ilonie Park, Windsor, and pro-
misee to be one of the best meetings that the society has
held in the course of its career. The place first selected for
this year's meeting was Busby Park, but on consideration
the council were induced to rescind their resolution, and to
I give the preference to the royal vicinity of Windsor. There
can be little doubt of the wisdom of this decision, for,
however oelebrated the neighbourhood of Hampton Court
may be for its sylvan attractions, its stately chesnuta, and
its royal relies, it is evidently deficient in the more practical
and utilitarian facilities requisite for the conveyance of
cattle from different and distant parts of the country. The
interest which Prince Albert and her Majesty have always
evinced in agricultural progress and pursuits had probably
some influence in the final determination of the icouncil
and, so far as the town of Windsor is concerned, the inha-
bitants certainly shnwed themselves sufficiently disposed to
have the grand cattle show in their immediate locality. On
this part of the subject it need only be added that the mo-
ment as applicatiou was made to her Majesty on behalf of
a local committee, represented by Mr. Burial, the royal
pleasure
.was intimated by Golonel Grey in the moot prompt
and gramme manner, and the Home Park was set apart by
her Majesty as the site of the show.
The spot on which the enclosure and pavilion are
erected for the present meeting has the local appella-
tion of Datchet.mead, and is remarkable fur its pic-
turesque beauty. Long before arriving at the ter-
minus the visitor sees the stately towers of Windsor,
the north side being that which spreads majestically before
him. When he disembarks at the terminus, which, by the
way, is a building quite in keeping with the beauty of the
scene, he finds himself just below the north terrace of the
Castle. A triumphal archway of foliage, erected by the
Windsor local committee, affords an entrance to the mead,
and thence it is a walk of little more than a hundred yards
to the enclosure and pavilion of the Itoyal Agricultural
Society. The accommodation for cattle comprises 26 sheds,
each 252 ft. long; the whole being covered witlicanvas. The
erections are very spacious, covering nearly 14 acres of
land, including offices for the secretary and council of the
society, who have never before possessed the advantage of
having offices attached to the place of exhibition. The pa-
vilion is •structure 100 feet by 170, and is capacious enough
to dine two thousand persons, the number which it is ex-
pected will actually be present at the dinner, anuounced for
to-morrow.
The show was inaugurated yesterday morning by an
early visit from her Majesty and Prince Albert. The royal
cortege drove into the meadow at about a quarter to eleven,
through the arch, or, rather, one of the three arches before
referred to, this temporary portal being surmounted with a
large number of flags of various hues. A line of spectators
was formed from the railway to the cattle show, and through
this the royal carriages, five in number, drove at a slow
pace. In the first carriage was the Queen and Prince
Albert, the l'rinee of Wales, anal the l'rincess Royal ; in
the second the Princess Alice and Prince Alfred, the
Countess of Gainsbaroug h, and the nor.. Mies Murray ; in the
third Lord Elphinston, Sir Edward Bowater (Groom in
Waiting), Mr. Birch, sod the Hon. and Rev. W.
Russell ; in the fourth Colonel Grey (Secretary to
Prince Albert), Major Bitldulph, and land Charles
Fitzroy (Equerry in Waiting to the Queen). The
i last carriage contained only the Duke of Norfolk. Her
Majesty was received at the principal entrance to the show
by his Grace the Duke of Richmond, the president of the
society, and Mr. Raymond Barker, a member of the min-
cil. The royal party at once proceeded to inspect the
animals, escorted by Mr. B. Gibbs, the director of the
yard, and by the stewards Mr. Stokes, of Kingston, near
liegworth ; Mr. Jonas, of Ickleton, Saffron Walden,
Essex; and Mr. Milward, of Thingartun Priory, near
Southwell, Notts. The entire show was examines!
minutely by the royal family. The horses attracted special
attention from the Queen, and the porcine race uncon-
sciusuly came in for a cousiderable share of royal notice.
Having completed their survey of the stock, the royal
visitors proceeded to the pavilion, where Mr. Hudson, the
secretary of the society, was introduced to her Majesty by
his Grace the Duke of Richmond, as were also the lion.
Mr. Clive and Mr. W. Shaw, the stewards of the dinner,
and these gentlemen had the honour of accompanying her
Majesty through the pavilion.
Her Majesty and party lingered within the enclosure for
nearly two hours, and immediately after their return to the
Castle the Queen and the Prince, with a p=tion of the
royal family, left Windsor by the Great Western Railway
fur Buckingham Palace.
It may here not inaptly be mentioned that the shepherds
and herdsmen in attendance on the show presented them-
selves on Sunday afternoon before the Castle slopes. They
were first turned back by the attendants because their
rustic costume did not accord with the code of etiquette
which regulates the home of royalty; but this difficulty was
soon remedied by an application being made to her Majesty
in person, anal the '• bold peasantry " had the gratification
—a gratification which it is believed was reciprocated—of
presenting themselves in the immediate vicinity of their
Queen. In the course of her slajeaty's visit to the show
yesterday morning the I)uke of Richmond gracefully seized
the opportunity to acknowledge the royal condescension.
Yesterday was nut a day on which the public could be
expected to visit the show in great numbers. The whole of
the morning was devoted by the judges to the critical ex-
aminatiou of the stock anal the awarding of the prizes.
The show was not accessible to the public until five o'clock
in the evening, and then only on the payment of 10s. for
admission. Considering the facilities for rapid and cheap
conveyance from the metropolis, the increased interest felt
in these exhibitions by agriculturists generally, and the
gradualdiminution of the charge for admission, there Call be
little doubt that the attendance during the current week
will be very large.
As regards the show itself, it must be considered by all
highly satisfactory. The number of animals exhibited is
larger by at least one third than the number on any previous
occasion. It is of course much easier to multiply numbers
than to improve quality, but in the latter respect
there appears to be the greatest cause for satisfac-
tion. The horses could scared y be so fine as
those exhibited in Yorkshire, which is one of the
best breeding districts fur horses in the world; but the
display in this department is, nevertheless, very creditable.
It is the exhibition of good breeding stock, and not the dis-
play of exuberant fat, which the council have of late yean
especially encouraged ; and in this department the present
show may be pronounced at least equal to any preceding
one. The total number of animals exhibited is about 1,300.
With respect to pigs, it may be observed that Mr. F. Hobbs
is this year precluded trout competing by the fact of
his being one of the judges ; and further, that the
prizes are, for the most part, awarded to persons who
have never exhibited before. The latter circumstance is
considered very encouraging. Mr. Jonas Webb is as usual
very successful as a competitor in sheep. About 60W.
has been raised by the local committee towards, the promo-
tion of the society's object, and yesterday the whole town
seemed alive with expectation. Streamers waved from the
windows of many houses in the principal streets, and the
Clock Tower of the Castle, overhanging Thames-street, was
especially conspicuous in this gay species of decoration. So
far at least the town presented a gay and animated appear.
ancc. The hotel. are all full, and many foreigners are
amongst the visitors.
The following is an official statement of the prizes anal
commendations awarded by the judges;
