DISMISSAL OF THE ORANGE MAGISTRATES
(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) _ .

DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.—Lord Clarendon's
letter to the Lord Chancellor, stating the grounds
upon which his Excellency recommends the latter
high functionary to dismiss from,the commission of the
peace the magistrates implicated in the affray at
Dolly's Brae, is made public this evening.
After recapitulating the facts of the murder as
elicited from Mr. J. Beswick's report, Lord Claren-
don concludes as follows :—" His Excellency has
learned from the official report made to him that
Lord Roden attended on that occasion in his magis-
terial capacity, took part in the proceedings, made a
speech on the subject, and voted with the majority of
the magistrates in refusing to take information. This
proceeding on the part of his Lordship appears to his
Excellency to be deserving of grave observation."
Lord Roden had, on the 12th of July, as above
stated, identified himself to a certain extent with
the proceedings of the armed assemblage of Orange-
men who came on his demesne, and it involved
him in the responsibility attached to them.
He was aware that his conduct in this respect
had been publicly arraigned, much of the evi-
dence given before Mr. Keswick tended directly
to implicate him as abetting and encouraging ,the
proceedings of an unlawful assembly, and be was
himself examined as a witness in the course of
the inquiry. It appears to his Excellency de-
structive of public confidence in the administration
of justice, that a magistrate thus circumstanced
should take part in the judicial consideration of pro-
ceedings, the object of which was to determine the
complicity or otherwise of certain parties in the act
' of an assembly charged to be illegal, which he him-
self had sanctioned and encouraged, and in whose
offence against the law, if any had been committed,
he became a party directly concerned. O❑ a full
consideration of the entire case the Lord-Lieute-
nant has come to the conclusion that a due regard
for the future preservation of the peace in the dis-
trict in question, and for the administration of jus-
tice therein in a manner which will be entitled to
public confidence and respect, imperatively requires
that the magistrates whose conduct he has thus
noticed should no longer discharge the important
functions and duties of that office.

MARYLEBONE REGISTRATION.
(THIS DAY.)
The revision of the lists for Paddington was
finished to-day, but not a single question of any import-
ance was mooted for the decision of the Barrister. No
agents were present, and the only parties in attendance
were the overseers and the other parish authorities to
whom the lists are entrusted, thus showing the entire
absence of party spirit in the borough.

SUDDEN DEATH of MR. G. ANSON

We deeply regret to have to announce the sudden
demise of Mr. George Edward Anson. The infor-
mation reached Buckingham Palace yesterday morn-
ing, the messeeker-having called at that royal resi-
dence on his way to Osborne, to acquaint her Majesty
and his Royal Highness Prince Albert with the dis-
tressing news.
We learn from the best source that Mr. Anson
arose at his accustomed early hour on Monday morn-
ing, apparently in the enjoyment of his usual health,
when, at precisely one o'clock, he was seized with a
fit, and never afterwards exhibited any consciousness.
He remained in a lethargic state until ten minutes
before four, when he breathed his last—his wife and a
few immediate relatives being present.
It will be recollected by our readers that Mr. Anson
attended the Queen and the Prince Consort through-
out their visit to Ireland, and remained in the royal
suite at Balmoral, and accompanied her Majesty as
far as Derby on the return to Osborne. At Derby
the deceased gentleman took leave of her Majesty and
the Prince Consort, to repair to Needwood, in Staf-
fordshire, to join Mrs. Anson ; and it was there his
death took place.
Mr. G. E. Anson was second son of the Hon. and
Very Rev. Frederic Anson, Dean of Chester and
Prebendary of Southwell, and brother of the Reve-
end Canon of Windsor. He was born on the 14th
May, 1812, and was consequently in his 38th year.
In October, 1837, he married the Hon. Georgiana
Mary Harbord, eldest daughter of the third Lord
Suffield, by whom he leaves a youthful family.
Mr. Anson was for a lengthened period private
secretary ,to Viscount Melbourne, when that noble-
man was occupying the highest office in the state,
and was recommended by the deceased Viscount to
fill the appointment of private secretary to his Royal
Highness Prince Albert on his alliance with her
Majesty. He discharged that delicate office to the
high satisfaction of the Prince and her Majesty ; and
when Sir Henry Wheatley, who had long held the
post of treasurer and privy purse to the Queen, re-
signed that position at Court, Mr. Anson succeeded
to the duties of the office. The deceased will be
lamented by a very numerous and distinguished
circle of friend, and the families of the Earl and
Countess of Lichfield, the Hon. F. and Lady Anne
Charteris, the Hon. Colonel and Mrs. George Anson,
Lord and Lady Waterpark, Sir William Anson, &c.,
will be placed in mourning by hi, unexpected demise.
