CONCILIATION of ORANGEiIIEN and RIBBONMEN.
LONDONDERRY ASSIZES, Arntn.3. •
Mr. ROLLESTON stated, that he had been in-
formed this morning, and he felt great pleasure in making the
communication, that the prisoners, of both the parties, to be
tried for being concerned in the fatal . riots in Maghera, in
the month of June,last, who were arraigned list night, and sent
to jail, had, in the prison, shaken hands, and were mutually
willing, for the futare, to abstain from all party feeling,
and to live in good fellowship and neighbourhood, and hoped
that the Court would allow them to return home without
being brought to trial. As such a wish had proceeded from
themselves, and had, he believed, been in some degree antici-
pated by the Counsel on both sides, he would put it as a sug-
gestion to the Court, whether the discharge of the prisoners now
might not tend as much to tranquillize the part of the county
from whence they came as proceeding against them by trial.—
The Learned Gentleman enforced the suggestion in a strain of
very powerful eloquence, and concluded by expressing his anx-
ious hope that such a measure,' if adopted, would tend perma-
nently to place the country in a state of repose, and for ever to
prevent in that Court a developement of practices similar to those
charged against the prisoners.
Mr. Justice VANDELEIIR.—If such a course as has been
suggested would have the effect of allaying the bad feeling, and
preventing such outrages as had unfortunately existed, and had
been perpetrated between the two parties, I would be delighted
in contributing any thing in the power of the Court towards it.
After sonic conversation between the Counsel,
The Clerk of the Crown called over the names of both classes
of prisoners. They mingled together in the dock, apparently
good-natured.
Counsellor DEERING (turning round, and addressing the
prisoners in the dock), " Are you all willing to be good friends
and neighbours, and to be fully reconciled ! '
Prisoners—',4 Yes, we are."
Sir JAMES GALBRAITH wished his " Lordship to permit
him to ask the prisoners a question. Are ye----"
His Lounsini.—“ Sir James, it might be better not.—Gen-
tlemen (addressing both sides of the bar), can the Court now
proceed ?"—" Yes, my Lord."
Ills LORDSHIP then in a most impressive manner proceeded
to address the prisoners to the following effect:—" Prisoners,
you all stand charged with being concerned in the perpetra-
tion of an outrage, the circumstances or which., having been
already disclosed to the Court in a trial which has taken
place, appears to have been of the greatest enormity, and
such as are disgraceful to civilized society.._. I do not say
that any of you are guilty, fur you hare not yet been tried ;
consequencescilarge most fatal and such as I never
4,
with participating in an outrage,
followedbu t yu a
heard before in a Court of Justice. I have been informed,
bl all stand
and know, that this riot originated in different party feeling--
a feeling which, if persisted in, will prove ruinous to the
welfise of the country and to your own individual prosperity.
It will' be most satisfactory to me, 1. y you are slow cordi-
ally determined that all past differences and animosity
should subside, and that ou shall all live in harmony and
good neighbourhood—you have so professed yourselves, and
for the sake of the growing Prosperity of this country, and
for your own sakes, I bogie
that your .determination is sin.
cere. If your expressed wish to be reconciled proves honest,
your country will feel deeply interested in the occurrences of
this day; for the peace of that district in which you reside de-
pends on the sincerity of your professions. Ido fervently hope
and trust that what .you have stated to your Counsel is true,
and that you have really determined to live hereafter as good
friends and neighbours, and to follow your lawful avocations
in amity and cordiality. If Your professions prove hollow,
and a mere pretext in order to avoid dreaded punishment at
present, and if you should again be brought into this Court
before me, or any other Judge, and found guilty of a similar
offence, the recollections of this day will be visited on you with
augmented severity of punishment; for had you been con-
victed this day, your punishment would have been severe and
exemplary. In the hope that you, professions are sincere, and
that you will return home good friends and neighbours, and
live in harmony and friendship, the Court consents that you
now be discharged, on being bound over in 201. each of per-
sonal security, to appear at the next Assizes if called upon."
Counsellor SCHOALES, in a low tone, addressed a few words
across the Beßch to his Lordship.
His LORDSHIP-4' lam glad you mentioned it, Mr.
Schoales. Prisoners, before you retire, let me admonish you,
that the best mode of showing the sincerity of what you have
now promised, will be, on your return home, to abstain care-
, fully from any expression of triumph—none of you have had
a triumph—you stood charged,
and have mutually agreed to
be reconciled."
Counsellor DEERING—" My Lord, before your Lordship
spoke I was also obtaining from the parties a promise to ab-
stain hereafter from all processions, and irritating displays of
different religious feelings and opinions." •
His Lordship cordially seconded the object of Mr. Deering,
and expressed his earnest hope and desire that the parties would
avoid all processions, and displays of party difference.
The Clerk of Crown having then repeated the form of the re.
cognizance, the prisoners retired.
The utmost satisfaction, with this pleasing result, was ex-
pressed by all present; the intelligence soon spread through the
City, and was every where received with feelings of genuine
pleasure.
In the evening, the individuals of the two parties joined to-
gether in little harmonious circles; and, over the social glass,
forgave and forgot their former animosities.

GENOA, MARCH 24.—A decree of the Council
of State has just ordered the seizure of a work, called The New
Conti!ssion, which was on the eve of publication by one of our
booksellers. By the same decree the bookseller is to be pro-
ceeded against, for having lightly touched the forbidden fruit
of foreign politics. The work is ascribed to a young French-
man of the name of Syon. This is the first application of the
new measures adopted in consequence of the resolution of the
Diet relative to the press. It is, observed, that various circum-
stances having caused, the MS. of this work to fall into the
hands cif the Austrian police in Lombardy, it was returned to
the author, after having been kept some days for examination.

What Lord NORMANBY stated last night, in
the House of Commons, in opposition to the
Alien Bill, has been erroneously attributed to
Mr. LENNARD in several of the Morning Journals.
The Duke of YORK transacted military lousi-
ness with the RING yesterday.
The Duchess of GLOUCESTER and a select
Party dined with the Princess AUGUSTA yester-
day.

Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, the Earl
and Countess of LIYERPOOL left town for Bath.
