" TWELFTH- OF JULY."
(From the Dublin Evening:Post.)
We have now accounts from all parts of the North, as
to the manner in which the Orange anniversary of 12th
July passed over; and it gratifies us extremely to be
able to state, that, with some few exceptions, tranquil-
lity prevailed. For the first time during many years,
those senseless party displays, which had so often pro-
duced bloodshed and desolation, were generally aban-
doned. The salutary object of the Lord Lieutenant's
proclamation has been accomplished, and great progress
has thus been made towards allaying that spirit of
party rancour which has so long been the bane of the
country.

We subjoin some extracts from our provincial Con,
.emporaries

We have had communications from several parts of
the north relative to the last 12th. The accounts, with
very few exceptions, all go to show a decline in pro.
cessions and party display. At Cranky, about four
miles from Newry, on the road to Armagh, a proces-
sion, with flags, drums, &c., marched. A scuffle, we
regret to say, occurred in this case, and a house was
wrecked. We have got particulars, but as the case is
to be heard at our petty sessions on Friday, eight of the
Orangemen being summoned to appear there, we, for
the present, refrain from stating more.—Newry Exa-
miner.

So far as information has yet reached us, this anni-
versary, with two exceptions we may notice, passed
away without the smallest disturbance. We learn that
at Coleraine, on the morning of the 12th, there was a
;mat turn out of the most ruffianly of the Orange party
—not including so much as a single tradesman of any
pretensions to respectability. They paraded the streets,
firing muskets, and preceded by a band of from twelve
to sixteen musicians, playing party tunes. On being
interfered with by the police, who did not exceed eight
in all, they attacked and overpowered that force, and
drove it away ; after which they continued their dis-
graceful revels throughout the morning, firing shots, and
groaning opposite to sonic houses, and shouting oppo-
site to others. We learn that at Newtownlimavady,
also, there was a partial demonstration by the display
of flags from the windows of a house, and the playing
of party tunes by a band within ; but this the magi-
strates exerted themselves to suppress.—Londonderry
Journal.

From almost every quarter we have received satisfac-
tory accounts of the quiet manner in which this day
pacsed over in the North of Ireland. We regret, how-
over, to learn by the following communication from a
very respectable source, that some of the Orangemen in
the neighbourhood of Ballymena did not prove them-
selves worthy of the confidence placed in them by the
Lord Lieutenant, or take the advice and follow the
example of their brethren of Dungannon, and elsewhere :
—" Ballymena, July 12.—For several years back there
has not been more pomp and parade, and ostentatious
show, than what the Orangemen of this neighbourhood
made here to-day. The ground chosen for their rendez.
vous was a large field within about half-a-mile of Cre-
billy Chapel, where they had a number of tents erected,
and thirteen stand of colours planted. To the credit of
the Ballymena lodges, be it told, not one of them walked
in procession ; but teey met in the evening, and dined
together, drank their toasts, made their speeches, and
spent the evening convivially, without any outward or
offensive display. All around this town there was a re-
gular turn nut of the lodges, with drums, fifes, and ban-
oers." At Letterkenny, we understand, some distur-
bance took place, but we have nut heard particular 3.—
Northern Whig.
Since the above was in type, we regret to find, by
the Be(fast Vindicatog, that in the neighbourhood of
Portadown, Maghera, Kilrea, and other places, the
usual insulting displays were made by tlmo Orangemen,
and it is owing to the forbearance of the Catholics that
.erious disturbances did not follow. A correspondent
of the Vindicator gives the following account of the
wrecking of a Catholic chapel by the Orangemen
Drumcree chapel, which is situated within a mile of
Portadown, was attacked by an Orange mob on Satur-
day night, the Bth of Juno last, who broke every win-
_dow in. it, ...a loft it almost a complete wreck. Sir
Toler Osborne, S.M., offered a reward or 401. tor—triodiscovery of the ruffians, and took other means for their
detection, but in vain.
ORANGE LOYALTY.

The loyalty of the Orangemen has been heretofore
described as conditional. It has now become compara-
tive—the Queen Dowager is the Queen of the Orange-
men, and the King of Hinover is their King.

At a corporation dinner given on Tuesday night, by
Sheriff Taylor, the health of the Queen—we quote
from the report in Saunders—was received with " three
times three." The health of the Queen Dowager was
ararik with " the loudest applause." But the health of
the King of Hanover—the only Monarch recognisod by
the Orangemen—was drank with " the loudest en-
thusiasin."

Thus, there is no allegiance for the Queen—much
allegiance for the Queen Dowager—and ultra-allegiance
for the " Foreign Prince and Potentate" who has abo-
lished the Constitution given by King William the
Fourth to the Protestants of Hanover,.
The Peel Privy Councillor, Mr. Frederick Shaw, the
Corporation Judge, was present at these loyal orgies.
