SThEETEN, CLERK V. BLACK.
This was an action brought by a clergyman of the Church of
England against the Editor and publisher of the Morning
Chronicle, for two alleged libels, published in that paper in the
month of May last.
The trial occupied the Court from nine in the morning till
ten at night, when a verdict was returned on the first five pleas
for the plaintiff, and on the 6th for the defendant, with damages
for the plaintiff One Farthing.

Their Majesties arrived at St. James's Palace this
day at one o'clock from Windsor, escorted by at party of the
7th Hussars. The King afterwards held a levee, which was
very fully attended by naval and military officers; and also
held a Privy Counbil, at which all the Ministers were present.
It is expected the day on which his Majesty will prorogue
Parliament will be decided upon at the Council.
The select committee for the management of the
proprietory of Drury-lane, assembled in their room at that
theatre, on Monday, by special summons, when, after some
consultation, Mr. Bunn was unanimously selected as the lessee
for the next three years. We understand there was one com-
petitor in the person of Mr. Rufino Lacy. It is said that the
last season was directed with so much energy and skill by Mr.
Bunn, that the result has been advantageous to him. Mr. Jones,
a gentleman of considerable wealth, one of the former proprie-
tors of the Adelphi, has taken Covent-garden for the next season.
ORANGEISM IN TIIE NORTH OF IRELAND.—
The Government cannot fail to learn a most useful lesson from
the proceedings of the Orangemen in the north, on the last
12th of July. The immitigable spirit of Orangeism, despite
all the precautions taken to prevent its lawless display, has
been sufficiently evidenced. In the county of Monaghan the
Grand Jury found true bills against sixty-seven Orangemen ;
and in Armagh similar bills have been found against two
hundred Orangemen. In Tanderagee the spirit of Dean
Carter, a wealthy pluralist, was as ardent as ever; and neither
the house nor the hat of the redoubted Doctor Patton dis-
played a banner or a lily less than on former occasions. A
correspondent very rationally asks us, " why is this man allowed
to command a corps of armed yeomanry ?" In the Report on
Orange Lodges we can find no act of his to entitle him to
the distinction ; and our amazement is full as great as that
of our correspondent. We are also asked why is this yeo.
manry corps allowed to remain armed ? We consulted the
Orange report on this subject also, and as we find that men
tried for murder, and found guilty only of a riot, by an Orange
jury, have been made members of it after their imprison-
ment, and those same men (we learn from several corres-
pondents) have been the most lawless and turbulent on the
last twelfth of July, we confess our inability to discover why
they should continue—why they should not be disarmed and
disbanded, presenting as they do, a fiendish banditti, like the
devil's angels in Milton,
For evil only good."
The spirit of the atrocious faction is irreclaimable—it is the
same to-day, yesterday, and to-morrow. It is' quite silly to
