IMPORTANT.—CAVAN ASSIZES.-At these Assizes held last
Monday, upwards of twenty men indicted for assembling and
marching in an Orange procession at Knockbridge, on the
13th of July last, were discharged in consequence of the follow-
ing letter of his Excellency Lord Mulgrave, written by the
Under Secretary to the Crown Council :
" In reference to the pending prosecutions against persons
charged with marching in illegal processions, under the Act of
2d and 3d William IV., cap. 110, I am commanded by his
Excellency to inform you, that in consequence of the resolu-
tions of the House of Commons, relative to Orange and other
Secret Societies, and of his Majesty's most gracious answer
to the Address, and of the steps immediately taken by his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, as Grand Master,
for the dissolution of the Orange Societies, it is his Excel-
lency's pleasure that no further proceedings shall be taken in
such cases, and the parties concerned relieved from all liabili-
ties arising from such transactions. It being understood, how-
ever, that this direction does not apply to persons who, having
joined such processions, have also been charged with violence
or other misconduct of a criminal nature, His Excellency is
induced to take this step, having the mest perfect confidence
in the good sense of his Majesty's loyal subjects, that under
these altered circumstances there will be no repetition of simi-
lar violations of the law, and earnestly hoping that the spirit
which has led to such unhappy results may, from henceforth,
give place to a better feeling among all classes of the comunity.
" T. DRUMMOND.
" To the Crown Counsel on Circuit." _

This letter, we are informed by the Dublin Post, "produced
the most electrical effect, and upon none was the impression
more satisfactory than upon the Orangemen."
By this liberal and clement conduct Lord Mulgrave has
given additional grounds for the gratitude of the country, whose
happiness and prosperity are the objects of all his public mea-
sures. To the Orangemen we would say with Mr. Baron
Pennefather, when he expressed his thanks to his Excellency
for the course adopted—" The law is not dead—it only sleeps
—it has not expired—and Government will be imperatively
called on to act with the utmost severity if, after this, the law
shall be again set at defiance."
A Clonmel Paper gives an account of the apprehension of a
murderer, and also of the arrest of another supposed murderer.
LONGFORD GRAND JURY. —TITHES. —The Dublin Post refers
to a petition to the House of Commons, to be presented by
Lord Morpeth, which was agreed to at the Assizes of Long-
ford. This important document, praying for an immediate set-
tlement of the tithe question, has been signed by the leading
gentry and freeholders of that county, including the High
Sheriff, Colonel Henry White, and most of the Grand Jury—
indeed the entire of that body, with three or four exceptions.

ACCIDENT AT KENSINGTON PALACE —PRO-
VIDENTIAL ESCAPE OF VIE PRINCESS SOPIIIA FROM BURNING.
—Between twelve and one o'clock on the noon of Friday last,
the inmates of that portion of Kensington Palace apportioned
as the residence of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia,
were thrown into a state of great consternation and alarm, b.;
loud cries of " Fire, fire I" which, on examination, were found
to proceed from the suite of rooms occupied by her Royal
tnHhe
eisgs Highness, and

mind,
the flames, which, with the assistaree of other members'
of the household, who came to their assistance, was speedily
done. Her Royal Highness's medical attendant was imme
imme-
diately summoned, as were those attached to the house-
holds of their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent, the
Princess Victoria, and the Duke of Sussex, all of whom
instantly attended, and we are happy to say, that on examina-
tion it was found her Royal Highness was but slightly burned
on the right side of her neck, her right ear, and eye-brow.
The accident, which but for the great presence of mind exhi-
bited by her Royal Highness, might have proved fatal, was, we
understand, occasioned by a spark which flew out of the fire at
the moment the Princess was passing the fireplace with a bot-
tle of spirits of wine in her hands, the stopper of which, in
her Royal Highness's endeavours to extinguish a small portion
of her dress which had ignited, fell out, and a considerable
portion of the spirituous liquid coming in contact with the
flame, instantly caught fire, and enveloped her Royal Highness
in flames, and there is no doubt, that had not her cries been so
quickly heard, she must have fallen a sacrifice, her dress, col-
lar, and cap, being completely burned. Every endeavour has
been made to keep the occurrence a profound secret, but we
understand that her Royal Highness, who since the accident
has been visited by her Majesty, the Landgrave of Hesse
Homburg, the Princess Augusta, Duke of Cumberland,
&c. &c., remains considerably indisposed from the fright and
effects of the burns, and it was reported last evening in the
neighbourhood of the palace was considerably worse yesterday.
The six paintings that are to adorn the Church of
the Madeleine have been allotted to six different artists—
namely, Messrs. Schnetz, Steuben, Bouchot, Signol, Abel de

each.— Galignani's Messenger.
