province of Ulster, that the Act passed in the second and

tions, the powers thereby given, for the suppression of all as-
semblies which by the said Act are declared to be unlawful.
" .By His Excellency's command,

Tint COMING TWELFTH—ORANGE • DEMONSTRATIONS.—
(From the Pilot )--The Evening .Mail, in its last number,
ingeniously swelled its period cal array of offences by no less
curious an invention than parading in its colums a flagrant
Orange outrage. The affray at Cookstown, where the politi-
cal party disarmed a police:nan, was carefully sandwiched be-
tween a pair of Popish misdemeanours, and saddled with the
rest upon the ample Shoulders; of the Marquis of Normanby.
If our contemporary is cleterMined to continue this system, it
will not be likely to fail in pabulum for its state of the country
column. This day's post brings us from several quarters in-
telligence of active preparations for unlawful gatherings on the
12th. Colonel Percival's protestations and Sir R. Bateson's
declaratiers, notwithstanding we have evidence all-sufficient
that Orangeism is still in active organization. In Saunders's
News Letter we find the following resolutions agreed to at a
meeting of the Loughgall district of Orangemen, thirty-two
masters p; emit, held at Loughgall on Saturday, the 30th uli.,
Edward Obre, Esq., in the chair :
" Ist. Tlekt we view with abhorrence the disgraceful out-
rage committed upon liti7chapel of Tartaraghan, on the night
of Thuisday, the 28th inst.
" 2d. That we have pleasure in being able to state that the
persons who have been arrested on suspicion of being con-
cerned in this shameful transaction are not members of our
kyal and peaceful association, and we confidently assert that
none of oar brethren willbe jinind to have bees: implicated in it.
" 3d. We t'ku this opportunity of declaring that our rules
aid principles strietl7 inculcate peace and good-will towards
all men; and much as we ;;boor the doctrines of Popery, we
harbour no ill will towards the plople who profess them, or
the places where they are taught.
" EDWARD OBRg, Chairman."
" Loughall, Saturday, June 30, 1838."
Let the resolutions have their proper weight in proving the
guiltlessness of the Loughgall Orangemen, if any society eyer
instituted could undertake to affirm the innocence of all its
Members. One thing, however, it proves (if nothing more)
beyond the power of cavil or contradiction. Notwithstanding
the declaration of the King and the united Parliament of the
illegality of secret Societies—notwithstanding the pledges of
the Orange leaders that their institution should be extinguished
—notwithstanding, the apparent acquiescence of the body—
Orangeism is still rampant, organised, and resolute as ever for
evil. It must be quelled.
" INHUMAN ORANGE OUTRAGE.—The cowardly creatures
of the Orange faction vent that demoniacal hatred against
children, which they feel for, but dare not direct against, men.
Another murder has been attempted, and the blood of an un-
offending child has been spilt. In the Newry Examiner we
find detailed an atrocious outrage, resembling in every feature
the murder of the children on Mollyash mountain on St. John's
eve. It is given on the authority of• a correspondent known
to the editor of that respectable journal :
" CALEDON, JULY 4, 1838.—Allow me, through the Newry
Examiner, to give publicity to a diabolical outrage which was
lately perpetrated at a place called Brantry, in the neighbour-
hood of this town. It is extraordinary that no notice has yet
been taken of it by the public journals. You should have had
the horrifying details long since, but from my absence from
home. On the 24th of June a few small children had collected
some dry branches to make a bonfire, as is usual at that pe-
riod, when some human devils came prowling forth, and, stand-
ing behind a hedge within ten perches of the burning embers,
fired two shots upon the little ones who were sporting about
them 1 One of the shots took effect, and shattered the arm of
a poor boy named Cotter, whose life is since despaired of."
No body of human beings were ever banded together, from
the brutal Buccaneers of the West to the sanguinary legions
of Don Carlos, who have to answer for so many crimes as the
Irish Orangemen. The fiendish authors of the Durango de-
cree were inno'bent and humane to the murderers of the chi:-
then at Mohlyash and Brantry.

THE NEWSVENDERS' ANNUAL

DINNER.

The annual dinner for persons employed by the dealers in
newspapers took place yesterday at the llighbury Tavern,
I lingtun. These dinners, which ere given gratuitously, the
expense being principally defrayed by donations from the pro-
prietors of the metropolitan journals, are confined exclusively
to the servants of the. news-agents; and as fully one half of
these are boys under, fourteen 1-ears of age, it has been usual
to have two distinct entertainments, one for the boys, and tLe
other for the older members of the trade.

Olt this occasion upwards of 300 boys sat down at one
o'clock in the afternoon to a substantial repast, to which it is
needless to say they did ample justice. There was no limit
set to the gratification of their appetites ; every one for him-
self cried " Hold, enough l" The dinner having been dis-
patched, the boys received a slice of plum-pudding and a glass
of negus each; after which they were let loose to wander at
will over the spacious grounds of this favourite suburban re-
treat, and to amuse themselves with the sports suitable to
their age.
At six o'clock the men and women took their turn in the
dining-hall, to the number of about three hundred and twenty.
Here everything was arranged with admirable care and at-
tention, under the superintendence of Messrs. Spilling, John-
son, Benson, and Martin, the Stewards, assisted in their ar-
duous duties by Mr. Wyld, and other of the principal news
agents. Every article on the table was very good and very
plentiful, and all appeared to be fully satisfied with the fare pro-
vided for them.

When the cloth had been removed immense bowls of punch
were introduced, and the toasts of " The Queen" and " The
Stewards" drunk with all the honours. There was no speechi-
fying whatever, but probably the toasts were not the less sin-
cerely pledged, although the mode of exhibiting their feelings
was somewhat rude and boisterous. •

The _company adjourned soon after dinner to the really
beautiful grounds connected with the tavern, some of them
amusing themselves by playing at skittles, trap. ball, and other
similar active games ; while ethers were content to enjoy the
refreshing breeze of a most delightful evening, and listen at
their ease to the performances of a very tolerable band of mu-
sicians stationed on the lawn.

A ball concluded the day's entertainments. Many who bad
been detained by business from the dinner math: their appear-
ance at the ball, especially those of the gentler sex. The
arrangements were under the superintendence of Mr. Wilson,
of Terpiichorean celebrity. who had provided an excellent
band, and strove, not without success, to gratify the numerous
assemblage. Mirth, though full and free, was not suffered to
pass the bounds of decorum, and probably as much real plea-
sure was experienced by these indefatigable and deserving in-
dividuals, as usually falls to the share of companies of much
higher pretensions.
