of the Orange.. Lodges in Belfast paraded, • as
on former occasions, -in large bodies; there
Were, hOwever, two or three hags displayed by
a few individuals, and --some parties • dined- toge-
ther. 'ln the. evening, between 8 and 10 o'clock,
some unpleasant 'occurrence took place near the
head of North-street, the precise occasion of Which
we have not been able to ascertain-, asvarions con-
tradictory reports arc in -circulation. It hod the
eifeet, however, of collecting a utunber of people
together; and also anomber of„theyeoinanty witn•
their muskets. Someirritating language is rdpUrted
to have'passed between the parties, and .scveral.
brick hats Were thrown and musketslired. These
last, however, appear -to have been charged with
.powder wiry, as. no person . was' hurt by them,
though it is reported that one ball struck a window-.
-shutter. Matters having assumed a serious a,pect,
notice was sent, and a. party of dragoons came to
thespot, vho cleared the streets, and the prOmis-
cuons multitude, as also the yeomanry, soon re-
tired, and peace was immediately reStored.—Be./-

On the evening of Wednesday last, William
Temple; late of Frampton, -Lincolnshire, was ap,
prehended in Boston, on suspicion of having rob-
bed the house of Mr. Fawn, 'carpenter; • Wimp-
lode, of Bank-notes to the amount of 44/:Temple
had in the coarse .of the day ' been making a
display of wealth, by exhibiting a number of
Bank Bills, but as he could add to these no
sufficiently explanatory notes, by what pro-
cess he had come by them, it was suspected
that he had not obtained them in an 'holiest
.manner ; and the circumstance becoming known
that be had but' recently returned from trans-
portation, by no means tended to' lessen the
suspicion. Finding himself very - narrowly ob-
'served whilst ,at the George and Dragon Inn,West-
street; in the evening., he wad about to make a
precipitate retreat, but was immediately followed
and secured, having been observed to drop a
pocket-book in the room where he had been sit-,
tang. On examination it was found to contain
Bank of:England and other notes, to the amount
of. 401. 4s. On inquiry, it 'turned out that. the
house of Mr. Fawn, carpenter, at Whaplode, for.
whom the prisoner had been working for the last,
month, was broken open on Tuesday night, and
robbed of Bank notes to the amount of 441. or
thereabouts, 251. of -which Mr. F. had borrowed
from a friend in order to enable him to make .up
a payment. Temple has accordingly been cow-
Mitted to Spalding gaol, until •it can be
,ascer-
'tained whether any of the notes found in his
pocket-hook can be identified as the property of
Mr. FaWn or others. •
