THE KERRY ORANGE CLUB.—The
Post searchingly dissects the statement p,
anonymous correspondent of the Mail, win wessfalit
day or two ago, and then proceeds to examine the Coll:2W
respondence of Mr. Caulfield and others on the subject.
The Post proves, as plainly as evidence can prove, the de-
linquency and miserable shifts resorted to by the "hell and
damnation" drinkers, sensibly declaring that " the short way
to settle the matter would be—since Mr. Thompson and
Mr. Caulfield decline to do it—for Mr. Bateman himself to
come before the public, and declare that not only did he
not give the toast and sentiment, but that no such toast or
sentiment at all was given by the Club."
FABRICATED OUTRAGES.—The contemporary whom we
have just quoted has an able article on the subject of
manufacturing reports of outrages that have never occurred.
The following is a short summary of the just and excellent
observations on the discreditable Tory practice deprecated
by the Dublin Evening Post, in common with every honest
man in the kingdom :—The discovery and committal of the
Sligo Orange conspirators who were employed in swearing
the peasantry not to work for Protestants, with the viow of
supplying pabulum to the Orange press, is, of itself, quite
sufficient to expose the atrocity of the " State-of-the-country"
system, which has been in more active operation than ever
during the last three months. That fiendish plot discloses
a new and horrible feature in the tactics of the faction.
Heretofore the Orange scribes contented themselves with
fabricating murders and outrages ; but now they endeavour
to promote their objects by the actual preparation of crime.
A hundred times, at least, we have exposed those fabri-
cators, and convicted them of deliberate falsehoods, in
cases where they had given circumstantial details of acts of
violence, and even of murders, which never had been com-
mitted. A paper called The Ballyshannon Herald has re-
cently become one of the most reckless of the fabricators.
Some days ago it asserted, on the pretended authority of
Mr. R. Blake, stipendiary magistrate, that an illegal society
existed in Ballyshannon. This statement was placarded as a
proofof Ribbonism, andso forth, in the English and Irish Tory
organs. Mr. Blake has published a denial ; but although the
falsehood has gone the rontals, the contradiction will, pro-
bably, never be noticed. Mr. Blake, in a letter to the Bally-
shannon fabricator, states that he never gave any authority
for such a statement. The Dublin Gazette is constantly
appealed to as an authority for the prevalence of outrage,
because proclamations offering rewards for the apprehension
of offenders appear in that paper. But, strange to say, the
Government is assailed by the Tory organs for winking at
the commission of outrage, whilst the rewards offered for
the detection of effenders are pointed to as a proof of dis-
turbance. This is, to be sure, extremely absurd, but not a
whit more so than every other mode of assailment resorted
to by the faction. The Gazette certainly proves the vi-
gilance of the Government, and its determination to
punish the violators of the law ; but looking at the
amount of crime recorded in the Gazette, and even
taking it for granted that all the outrages manufactured by
the Orange provincial journals had actually been perpe-
trated, although three-fourths of them are invented, and
all are grossly exaggerated, would Ireland, after all,
with her impoverished population, be more disturbed
than happy and prosperous England ? The outrage-
mongers must employ more active agents—fellows with
more fertile imaginations, before they can succeed in re-
presenting Ireland to be more disturbed than England.
We would undertake to produce, froM the English provin-
cial journals of any one week, a greater amount of crime
actually committed—we say actually, for in England there
are no outrage manufacturers—than has been collected in
a similar period during the existence of the present Go-
vernment, from the Irish provincial fabricators, the Wex-
ford Conservative and all. Such is the unprecedented
state of tranquillity in this country at present, that the
wretches employed to manufacture crimes have compara-
tively little scope for their operations ; and, besides, the
people are beginning to have a sharp look-out after their
falsehoods and exaggerations. We do not say that Ireland
isOlree from crimes ordinarily perpetrated in any country ;
but what we contend is that, taking into account the pri-
vations of our closely-packed population, and their nume-
rous provocations, that there is comparatively little crime,
and that the habits of order are daily becoming more pre-
valent. But even the Dublin Gazette, in which the Govern-
ment acting upon representations from local authorities, causes
Proclamations offering rewards to be inserted, may some-
times be made the means of misrepresenting the state of
the country.
MURDER OF ANDREW GANLEY.—(Fram the Dublin
correspondent of the Morning Advertiser.)—There is a great
noise being made by the Tory journals on account of the
barbarous murder of Gatiley, on whose body an inquest was
held last Tuesday ; and with their usual consistency of
truth, they ascribe this outrage which grew out of a lawless
system of combination which exists in our potatoe and egg
markets to two things : First, as a matter of course to the
Government ; and secondly, to savage spirit of Popery, in-
asmuch as the man was murdered for being a Protestant,
and because his brother voted for. the Protestant candi-
dates at the Longford election. These are the alleged
facts as put forward in the Eveniny Packet of last night.
Now the real facts are these, and I defy contradiction in
a single particular. First, as to implicating the Govern-
ment on account of their apathy ; the Recorder gives the
lie to the assertion in his speech before the Lord-Lieu-
tenant the other day, where he admits that the increased
number of Crown prosecutions at a time when there were
few crimes of a heavy character, was a proof of the vi-
gilance of the Government, and a determination to put
'clown the wicked system of combination that exists among
the labouring classes.
With regard to the outrage having anything to do with
Popery, or that the man was murdered because he was a
Protestant, the assertion is contradicted by two stubborn
facts : the man was a Catholic, and although he did not for
some years attend any place of worship, he was attended by
a priest, and died a sincere member of the Roman Catholic
persuasion. Some say that he merely died a convert ; but
if so, there was presumption that the unfortunate man him-
self did not believe that he was murdered by Papists for
being a Protestant ; for if he did, it is very unlikely that he
would become a convert to Popery on his death-bed. The
next fact is undisputed, that amongst the unfortunate vic-
tims to the spirit of combination who have been murdered
or assaulted in Dublin for the last twenty years, there never
was a Protestant amongst the number but one, and that was
a man named Mason, who was a carpenter and master
sawyer, and amongst the persons who attacked him there
were more Protestants than Catholics ! As to his brother
voting for the Protestant candidates in Longford, it so hap-
pened that all the candidates were Protestants, but two of
them were Orangemen, for whom the brother voted, and he
has never suffered the slightest injury for having done so.
It is really almost a waste of time to sit down to refute the
truculent lies of the Orange journals. As I have said in
a former communication, such a task would be deemed a
work of supererogation here ; bat with regard to the Eng-
lish reader, it may not be wholly useless.

GARDENING OPERATIONS FOR

THE WEEK.

(From the Gardener's Gazette.)
TULIP growers should now complete planting all offsets,
for they lose every day they are out of ground. They
should also look well at their principal roots, which are fre-
quently infected, at this time of the year, with the green fly.
RANUNCULUS beds should be turned over, and ridged
up for the winter.
Frost may be now expected nightly ; therefore, it will
be wise to earth up Dahlias of any value, three or four
inches above the crowns, for it is too early to take them
up yet, and yet a hard frost will often reach the crown in
one night ; a man may earth up a very large collection in
a day, and this is the only protection ; never cut down the
stems till the roots are to be taken up, for the stem being
hollow holds rain, and half the lost Dahlias may be traced
to this.
CARNATIONS and PICCOTEES must be placed in their
wintering situation ; we cannot refer to a better description
of a proper one than Mr. Bucknall's letter of last week.
Keep Kitchen Gardens clear from weeds, dry up all
I empty quarters, and if not to be planted, lay up in ridges.

'rite following note was made by Sir John Her-
schel, at Feldhausen, near Wynberg, at the Cape of Good
Hope, during the spring equinox of the present year :
" The sun at present is, and has long been, affected with a
display of spots, extraordinary both in point of number and
magnitude, and in every point of view extremely remarkable.
They do not, however, appear to have affected its emission
of heat ; at least I perceive no marked excess or defect of
radiation, as indicated by the actinometer this year, com-
pared with corresponding seasons of 1834, 1835, and 183 G.
This instrument puts all such inquiries completely within
our power."

The decision of the revising barristers at Maldon, in
John Ambler's case, is regarded in the borough as one of
importance. Mr. Gurney decided that the charter made
no provision for the children of the persons who claimed
their freedom by marriage, when both parents were living
at the time it was granted. This, we understand, is in ac-
cordance with the opinions of two counsel previously ob-
tained, and the Reformers state, that as it affects nineteen
i persons who voted at the last election for Messrs. Dick and
Round, a petition will be presented against the return of the
I latter gentleman.—Chelmsford ekronicle.
