DISGRACEFUL CIRCUMSTANCE.

A Parishioner here stated, that the notice was read by the
Curate, who was the representative of the Vicar, and guardian of
his interest ; besides, it was to be presumed that the Vicar always
attended to his duties in the parish, and knew perfectly well what
was done in his parish. (Loud laughter.)
Mr. DRINNALD begged to ask the Chairman when he hut saw
the Vicar there? . . . . . .

The Cit Al n HAW said he had resided in the parish 35 years, and
he had never seen him there. (Loud laughter.)
Mr. Sat [Tit then proceeded at great length to contend that from
the very low rates taken by the Vicar, it was moat unjust to pro-
ceed with those who were going to Parliament in a hostile manner
against the Clergy. They would act in a manner most discou-
raging to those who were inclined to exercise their rights with mo-
deration towards their parisioners. Ile entered not into local de-
tails for the purpose of proving that in some instances the Vicar
took no more than W. in the pound; in others no more than 6d„ or
lid., and that he suffered more than GO houses to be tithe free. In
some, it was true, he took 2s. 9d., but the rent of such was esti-
mated far below the value, and it was only from the Esst India
Compnny,the Commissioners of Customs, and others who could
well afford to pay, he made such demand. He said it was
moat probable that the business could not be brought on this Sea-
sion. The parishes would, therefore, have a dreadful increase of
expense, and he was sure they could not in this pariah carry on
the contest as was proposed, by voluntary subscriptions. Ile hoped
that the other parishes, which were so severely oppressed, would
meet with success; but it would be quite time enough Mr the in-
habitants of this parish to move when they fell into worse hands,
which he hoped would not be the case. He concluded by moving
as an amendment, ••• That this parish should nut join the others in
their opposition."
Mr. TENANT opposed the amendment. Ile was a warm sup.
porter of the Established Church, as against ignorant and Isniviial
sectarians. He thought the interests it the Chinch could in no
way be so well supported, or the good-will of the parishioners so
effectually conciliated with regard to it, as by giving the clergy-
men liberal salaries for their services. The present system of vacua.
ble and capricious exactions for the support of the clergy, by
creating constant dissensions, drove numbers to the conventicle. It
was said in behalf of the Vicar, that lie was moderate in taking
no inure than 1,3001. per annum, when lie might, if he exacted
24. Oil. in the pound, get 5,0040. Surely it ass quite enough to
take tire 1.3001. when he never came near then.
,ir. lla;r:►ALI), in reply, said the uncertainty of the rate, even
in its present sate, was a great grievance. Ile, far one, did not
wish to remain at the mercy of any one.
The Resolutions were carried by a considerable majority, and a
Committee was appointed to raise subscriptions, and act as they
deemed necessary with the other parishioners.

The County Courts Bill, which was lost last year, is ex-
pected to be again brought into Parhamem early in the
Session, by Lord Althorp.

We extract the following from the Newry Telegraph.
It is quite needless to accompany it with any observation :

ZIT RAVE OF A LETTER ricptltlEtrY, DATED 13th Mt E.

" On this day week a scene of outrage took place here. which,
although not attended with any bad consequences, was of as dis-
graceful a nature as any that are daily noticed in the public
prints. A young man who had died on the Nlonday previous was
that day to be interred ; and, as he was of a respectable family,
all the decent people in the neighbourhood attended at the funeral.
Ile was, though unknown to his mother and sisters (his only sur-
viving relations), an Orangeman. About an hour before his corpse
was to be brought out, the different Orange Lodges in the neigh-
bourhood were seen coming into town. When all had assembled,
one of the men came over to the burial house, and said that de-
ceased was an Orangeman, and that they had assembled to bury
him. Ills mother said, if he was an Orangeman it was unknown
to her ; and, at all events, she did not wish hien to be buried by
them, and that, if the deceased had wished it himself, he would
have said so before his death, which he had not done. The other
produced a certificate of deceased being an Orangeman, and said,
if they were nut allowed to bury him peaceably they would do it by
force..

" At the instance of one of the sisters, a gentleman wer.t and
spoke to the District Master, and told him that the relations of
the deceased were against his being burial by Orangemen. The
latter promised to use his influence to prevent it ; and when it was
thought that he had succeeded, the corpse was brought and carried
past the Orangemen, who remained behind.
" When the funeral had got to the top of the hill leading
to the grave-yard, the music of the Orangemen was heard to
begin, and all flattered themselves, that they were returning to
their lodge-room. But in this they were disappointed. In a few
minutes the Orangemen came up to the funeral, shouting, • (tome
on, boys; we will have him—we will take him by force ! If there
was not another man from this to Belfast we will bring him !'
With other expretetions, much more shocking. They then rushed
on, took the corpse from the bearers, and ran off—actually ran with
it. One of the bystanders said, ' You should take your time.
boys--don't run away with hint altogether.'
" These Orangemen, who are a disgrace to the body they are
connected with. throughout the whole affair did every thing in the-r
power to provoktt a riot, but fortunately did not succeed. NVben
the Orangemen took the coffin, the people who accompsnied the
funeral returned back. It is more than lately this trarsaction wul
give rise to bonus disagreeable occurrence."—Netery Teltg,aph.
