the Orange Institution is now more than ever necessary,
not merely from the %, r,‘r,e(e‘s that more tha.:
threaten the Protestants of Ireland, but also to counteract
the evils which the well-grounded discontent of the Pro-
testant Yeomanry is slowly but inevitably producing.
Abandoned by the Government, and told to expect from
English sympathy a remedy for their grievances, they have
patiently sustained those grievances till their endurance is
worn out ; they almost apprehend that British connection
has ceased to be a protection, for it seems to add weight
to the burthen that oppresses them by becoming a pretext
for the counsel of quiescent endurance. Finally, they are
fast verging towards a disposition to join in any scheme
(whether feasible or not) which may lend a hope of im-
proving their condition ; and their English sympathies may
be worn out, unless they again find that safety and protec-
tion which they once enjoyed under the shelter of the
Orange Institution."

That men should " verge towards a disposition" to
improve their condition, is not very wonderful ; and,
therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that
the Irish Tories, seeing the benefits conferred on
their country by a liberal and wise administration
of its affairs, and seeing, moreover, no earthly pro-
spect that their " English (alias Tory) sympathies
will ever he rewarded with those places, pensions, and
jobs which are shadow ed forth under the type of
" safety and protection,"--it is not surprising, we say,
that the Tories of Ireland, thus situated; should begin
to inquire into the grounds of a political creed which
prevents them from " improving their condition."
As to the policy of the attempt to revive the
Orange Lodges, with all their suspicious ma•
chinery of secret oaths, secret meetings, and other
appurtenances, we think it is decidedly bad. Should
any considerable portion of the party join the Asso-
ciation, which we think is not likely, the assured con-
sequence would be to give new vigour to Mr. O'CON-
NELL'S agitation. The organizatio❑ of Orange
Societies on an extensive scale would furnish him with
a standing topic of declamation, of which no one knows
better than he how to take the advantage. What
indeed, is more calculated to rouse the " young blood"
of Ireland, and to enlist it in the service of a Liberal
Government, than having the' genuine spirit of
Orangeism in active operation before the view, associ-
ated as it is, too, with recollections of nothing but op-
pression, persecution, and wrong of every description.

The Paris Journals of Sunday and Monday—the
former having been delayed for twenty-four hours by
the stormy state of the weather—have all been received.
Their contents are not of much political importance.
A rumour prevailed that the order for the evacuation
of Ancona had been countermanded in consequence of
official dispatches received at the Foreign-office, from
the French Legation at Rome.

The news from Spain received this morning shows
that the system of reprisals,
.or rather cold-blooded
murders, established by the monster CABRERA, is in
full operation in several of the Provinces I The people
who can tolerate such atrocities are a disgrace to
Europe. Cowards in the field, they become heroes
when armed with the knife of the assassin !

The Queen Dowager of England, as we learn from
Naples, was visited on the 4th ult. by all the members
of the Neapolitan Royal Family who were in the capital,
and by all the Foreign Ambassadors and other diplomatists,
The Hon. Fox Maule, M.P., has left town for
Perthshire. The Honourable Gentleman's constituents,
among whom be is highly and deservedly popular, have in-
vited him to a public dinner, at which between 400 and
500 persons will be present.

We learn that the body of the Right Hon. Robert
Cutlar Fergusson is to be taken to Scotland, to be interred
in the family vault at Craigdarrock, Dumfriesshire.—

WANTED A TITLE.—The Chronicle says that
a name is wanted to replace that of " Tory," now become
obsolete and unmentionable —to ears polite." " Conserva-
tive" being considered too close, and " Improver" too
much nither way ; anything betwixt and between is de,i-
derated.

" We're not book learned to choose a word in vogue,
But think it should be Latin for a rogue."
A handsome gratuity will be afforded to any person who

In the course of inquiry at the Uxbridge Petty
Sessions into the ability of certain agricultural labourers to
pay poor rates, it was stated that 10s. per week was the
average amount of wages paid during the winter to farmers'
labourers in West Middlesex, while very many received
much less.

A Jew was yesterday committed to the House of
Correction for a month by the Magistrates of Queen-square,
in default of paying a penalty of 101. incurred for hawking
glasses for sale without a license. Moses said he only ex-
changed his wares for old clothes.

SPORTING EXTRAORDINARY. —On Tuesday
morning, about day-break, the mate of a vessel lying in the
Old Dock, at this port (Hull), had his attention attracted
by an extraordinary noise, like repeated thumps upon the
deck ; oa looking to ascertain the cause, he found no less
than half a dozen partridges prostrate on the deck, four of
which he succeeded in catching with his hand, but the
other two having recovered sufficiently from their shocks,
made their escape. He deposited his booty alive with some
food in a basket, where they remained until evening, when,
on looking to see how they were, they arose in an instant
from a perfect stillness, and flew out of the basket. One
of them put out the cabin light, and the whole were much
more difficult to take in the cabin than they had previously
been in the open air. The sailor, determined to have no
further trouble, twisted each of their necks as he secured
them again. On the above morning we had a very keen
frost.--Hull Observer.

MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.—Captain Burrowes
has been appointed barrack master at Blackburn, vice the
Hon. Captain Liddell. An additional Captain has been
sent from each division of the Royal Marines on recruiting
service ; Captain Willes from Portsmouth to Salisbury,
and Captain Coryton from Woolwich to Ashby-de-la-
Zouch, went on the service last week. Lieutenant-Col,
Basden and a detachment of the 89th Regiment are ordered
to Barbadoes by the Numa transport, which is expected to
sail in a fortnight. By letters from Bombay we learn that
her Majesty's 2d Regiment of Foot had received the route
from Belgaum to Deesa, to relieve the 40th Regiment of
Foot. The former regiments were at that time in good
health. The Arab transport, having on board detachments
from the 23d, 36th, and 93d Regiments, sailed from Cork
on Friday last, for Halifax. The total rank and file of the
army in Ireland for November is as follows, viz., artillery
812 ; cavalry 1,759 I infantry 13,247—T0tal 15,818.
There is no truth in the report which has been asserted in
several weekly publications, that Surgeon Barlow, of the
sth Dragoon Guards, lately met with an accident. Let-
ters from the officers of her Majesty's 17th Regiment of
Foot, stationed in Bombay, under the command of Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Croker, left that regiment in the enjoyment
of good health up to SepteMber sth. Two companies and
head-quarters of the 34th depot, under the command of
Major Ruxton, from Fermoy, arrived at Templemore on
Friday last,
THE NEW HACKNEY CARRIAGE ACT.—In a
case (of no public interest in itself) which came before the
Greenwich Magistrates yesterday, wherein the proprietor
of a one-horse fly was charged with permitting an unlicensed
person to drive his vehicle, a professional gentleman for
the defendant contended that the Bench had no jurisdic-
tion in the matter, and in support of his argument re-
ferred to the 23d section of the Act, which empowered
Justices to hear and determine complaints. The words of
that clause were, " And be it enacted that it shall be
lawful for any ustice of the Peace appointed by her
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home De-
partment," &c.—thus clearly showing that it was the inten-
tion of the Legislature to confine the magisterial jurisdic-
tion under the Act to the metropolitan police-offices, and
not to extend it to Magistrates appointed by Lords-
Lieutenant. The Magistrates briefly consulted together,
and, after perusing the following clause (the 24th), which
sets forth the mode of proceeding for penalties, and pro-
vides " that it shall be lawful for any Justice of the
Peace in all cases," &c., decided that the objection was
overruled. It should also be remembered that the pre-
amble of the Act stated that its provisions should extend
within ten miles of the General Post Office, and as the
town of Greenwich was within that distance, the Magis-
trates were bound to hear evidence in support of the infor-
mation,
