The Lori Chancilor yesterday reversed the
decision of tin Master of the Role in the cue of
Malony v. Nugent," and thus intimates his opinion
that solicitors moy be receivers. Master Ligon de-
livered himself of a rejoinder to the Mister of the
Rolls, and accused him of having used " language of
vituperation, menaces, and insult to his brother
judges." The disgraceful mese of a judge being
loudly app'audrd by the audience was witnessed at
the cor.clusion of Master Litton's *dart se.
The Mayor of Cork has declintd to cal a public

The inquiry into the Castlewellan outrages has

CORK, JILT 31.

The ci'y is better de erring of the tiee of " beauti-
ful" at pre:ent than at any other period since the
arrival of the S coal Henry urn our shore. The
chimes are laudably emulous in the decoration of
their houses and shop fronts, no that Patrick-street,
the Grand Parade, and South Mall, display an im-
provement in exti real appearance that is truly ad-
mirable. Heretofore our triumphal arches were
more in consonance with a fair-field or a puppet show,
than for the selsroment of the metropolis of South
Munster, but they wi ,lnow be worthy the Magri um ad-
vent. The South Mall, •te Grand Parade, 0 eat George-
street, the kiag's.road, and Patrick-street, will
exhibit Carious arches of a singularly beautiful con-
struction, which cann rt fail to elicit general admire-
ticn. The Drko prom ,nee is to be rendered an
avenue of articisl as well as natural beauty.
The Cerparation have voted a sum of 5001., the
Harbour Huard and Wide-street Commirri nerr,
each; and all expressed themselves le eity and willing
to advance Witter sum. if these should be found inadc-
goats for the purpose. The managing committee will
have in all shoot one thousand pounds at their die-
poml, which will be expended principally in the
decoration of the Castor-hours and its quay, where
her Majesty is i x mete d to land hem the Fairy tender.
The roof of the Custom house overlays the walla by
several feet, somewhat in the style of a rude end
homely piazza, which is to be ornamented with •
haedsome archway; and the quay Serif is to be
mitered with a carpi:ring of sesrlet cloth.
It has b en just regulated, in consequence of the
state of the tide (low water) at her Nkjesty's arrival,
when the upper part of the river would look any-
thing but agreeable, that the Chem and suite will
travel by land trim C we, and, atter proceeding
threngb thr city, re tura nn board the royal tender at
the Custom-hi-no,. The Fairy arrived in the harbour
on Saturday', and thoes Inds of the citizens went down
yesterday, mere for the purpose of a- eing her than

Michael Cleary was esamined-1 es in the field on the
left of the reed •hen the o:aagemen were retuning bun.,
near Dary's-bran. I was there with my mastr all day.
1 saw the party on the hill. About half of the Orange
party passed by before any** mews: 1. I sow the
ring. To the bet rd my minim the aquas came from the
road, then cups two shot• from toe h. il, and, them basin,
been returned, there was a regular 'al (eons the hill I saw
the police take the AM, end emus of issui tbs. I taw the
houses bwruing. I was about 60 yer is from the nearest
house cm fire. TM °rause party were a good pi. ce on at
tittle time. The houses I saw burning were in the fielAs, and
the cavalry could sot follow after the parties who set them
on ti-e. I emir sot identify say of those who set fire to the
houses, but I have to elm they were of the Orange patty.
They smashed the do irs and windows of several houses, A
party of the 91 was sent into a house to elf _r out some of
the li.b`ion party that fired on the troops en the road, and a
man ease sus et the rear, snapped a gun at me, and when I
went towards him be drooped the gun and ran away. I
took up the gun (produces the gun). It was loaded with
*3O eight to nine inches of ball cartridge. Then was but
an. foal!, but thus we• plenty of powder.
To Mr. Ruthven—l thought the police were in imminent
danger at the ruse they ran up the hill.
To Mr. Barwick—The police mold not have prevented the
burning of the house!, for they were up the hill st the time.
To Mr. Magee—l sow a magistrate on the field where the
Rihbonmen were, hut heard no riot set read. I was dreamed
in plain clothes when the sun wee preeentcd at me. I bad a
gun in my hand, but it was not Imidel. It tees given to
me by • gentleman to keep during the day. I saw two dead
bodies at the cross rinds. They were the bodies of men. I
saw a woman wounded, as if by the butt en f of a fireleck or
a stem. I raw a number of bayonets among the °eminent( n.
I sow eight houses fired. I saw the Orenumen scatter from
the road, and go over the Gelds a quarter of a mile to fire
one Mum Tome was nene of them taken prisoner ; for the
cavalry coull not follow thee through the fields. I saw seine
of the Oreng nttn advan^e up the hall at the time the mete*
went up. I saw one of them fire two or three times. I saw
twelve or fourteen of them going round the bill where the
itibbonmeu were. I saw thee load more than cues. I can-
not savhow easy lied bayonets I saw in the preetesion.
I saw Ward's slated house—it isnot half a mile from where
the allay took pine. I taw nothing carried away out of
nay of the houses. Ward's house Is near to the road. I
saw the windows broken in when I came up.
To Mr. Magee—The parties who set fin to the houses had
vilcoons and decorations on thee.
JoAphTabitese, S. M., examiaed—l mane here by orders of
the Rostrum's% ts preserve the on the 121 of July.
and so rear in here until the e at bad ceased. On the
llth of July I saw Mr. Shaw, MS of the kcal magistrates,
and afterwards I saw Lord Roden. Mr. Shaw "Mitred me
the threatening notice served es him. Major Wilkinson,
91r.Shaw, and I went out to Doily's-brae, understanding that
the pars of Dolle's-hree was the disputed pass. I then went
to L: rd Bodes, and told him ow intention was not to accom-
pany the Orangemen, but to take possession of Dolly's brae,
and preserve the pesos there. Nothing occurred that day
more, and on the So:lowing morning we preceded to D
brae, and, had it not been for the disposition of the inanity
and police, very serious consequences nrght hays essued.—
