RIOTS IN LISBURN.

Very considerable alarm was caused in Belfast, on
Wednesday, by exaggerated rumours of the burning of the
Roman catholic church of Lisburn, and of violence of a
serious character having been offered to some clergymen of
that creed Some colour was given to these rumours by the
fact that Isle. Hill, S.I, Mr. Henderson, Head Constable,
and a body of the constabulary stationed in Belfast, had
been ordered down to Lisburn, at an early hour, on a re-
quisition of a magistrate, grounded upon the usual
affirmations on oath of an apprehension of violence. A.
reporter from this office proceeded to Lisburn, for
the purpose of ascertaining the state of affairs; and,
from kin researches in well-informed quarters, and
from impartial sources, it appears that a certain amount
of angry feeling has latterly been excited in Lisbutn, in.
the minds of the Orangemen resident in the town, by rea-
son of the preaching of two Romon catholic missionaries,
the Rev. Fathers Furlong and Vitas. On Friday last,
the lot July—the Anti-Processions Act notwitbstanuiug—
the Orangemen marched through the town, in very large
numbers, accompanied with drums and fifes, and playing
party tares and shouting, "To ll with the Pope and
Father Furlong" with great fervour. The parties then
lighted tar-barrels, and marked their animosity to various
most respectable protestant", who, they were aware, con-
demned their proceedings, by pitching the lighted tar bar-
rels in the streets before their doors, Oa Saturday, it
was stated generally throughout the town that, the priests
had a narrow escape on leaving the church, where they
had been engaged in the performance of their religious
duties up to nearly twelve o'clock the night previous, for
that the Orangemen had determined to stone them, and
that they were only prevented from carrying their inten-
tions into effect by the fact that the watchman of the
church, who had fortunately been apprised of the plot,
and who had taken the precaution of asking some people
to escort them, had thus rendered it difficult to diteern
the object of the intended attack in the crowd by which
they were accompanied to the patish priest's residence.
i Rumours were also circulated that the church would be
1 horned down; and so far were these statements credited
that some hundreds of people remained up in the grounds
of the church all night in order to guard against, an at-
tack, should such be made. Nothing, however, occurred
to excite alum, or to require the draw d aid. On yester-
day. it wax stated that the threats which had not been
verified would be brought into effect. Intermations, having
this tendency, were sworn; the Belfast constabulary, as
already stated, were ordered down to preserve the peace;
but it seemed in the end that the precautions taken were
unnecessary, and that there really was nothing to be ap-
prehended. No attack of any kind was made ; the town
up to a late hour wore its accustomed tranquil aspect ; and,
from all that could be observed, there was nothing likely
to interrupt the peaceable relations that prevailed. A re-
inforcement of constabulary front Beltast proceeded to Lis-
burn in the evening, and, it was said, were to remain
there all night, as apprehensions were still entertained of an
attack. Nearly all of the facts here stated had bean sworn
to on oath ; but it is to he hored that the narrators have
been influenced more by their fears than by the manifesta-
tions of intended violence that base taken place. Neither
Orangemen nor any other body of men in Lisburn will,
we trust, so far forget what it due to their own character
for peaceableness and propriety of conduct, and to the repu-
tation of their town, as to be betrayed into any senseless
= display of party feeling.— Belfast Nortlunt Whig.

LONDON FEMALE DORMITORY AND INDVsTRIAL
Inset ITTlON.—Yesterday, a special meeting of the friends
and supporters ot this institution was held in the Vestry-
room of St. Pancras ; the Rev. Canon Dile, M.A., Vicar of
the parish, in the chair. The report stated the objects of
the institution to be, the prey( ntion of crime, and the
restoration of such as had fallen. In carrying out the first
object, the members of the is had on several
ma-
lions successfully successfully rescued unwary females from the nume-
rous agents at work to entrap them. Those thus rescued,
at well as others reclaimed from a life of infamy and shame,
had been provided with good situations. An institution so
useful was deserving of all support, for there could be no
greater mistake than to suppose that the majority of those
who had fallen continued iu sin from choice. The follow-
ing facts proved this:—From May, 1850, to December,
1851. the institution, through want of funds, bad to refuse
432 applicants, and from January,lBs2, to December of the
same year, it had to refuse no fewer than 884 of those dis-
posed to reform themselves. Upon the let ot January there
had been in the institution 31 inmates, and from that date
to the 30th of June last there had been 86 others admitted.
Of these, 1 had got married, 4 had been restored to their
friend., 1 had died in penitence; 24 had been sent-to ser-
vice, 13 had left of their own accord, en that 74 remained in
the institutinu. The Rev. Messrs. Power, Oarbett, and
C.,hen, Lieutenant Bleckmore, li N , Mr. J, P..yne, and.
other gentlemen, addressed the meeting in advoc..cy of the
charity, when the proceedings terminated Stith a vote of
thanks to the chairman.
