SUN. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1849.

and as contradictory evidence was offered,
to show from which party they came, I shall only say
that the weight of the evidence appeared to me to favour
the opinion that they were fired by tw o of the Ribbon
party posted on the hill at the Orange party. Imme-
diately after a volley was discharged from the main
body on the hill, which appeared to have been indis-
criminately directed at police, military, and Orangemen,
and the firing from both sides then became general. It
was then deemed necessary, and I think wisely, to dis-
lodge the body posted on the heights. and accordingly
the police, under Mr. Hill, charged upon and gained
the first intrenchment, firing as they ascended at the
men who were placed behind it. Immediately after it
was carried the body there posted fled, and the police,
who had fired in all 18 shots, ceased firing, and took a
number of prisoners, among whom were five mounted;
several of the prisoners were found crouching, with
arms beside them, behind the walls
" While this was going on above I lament to say that
the work of retaliation, both on life and property, by the
Orange party,wasproceedinglower down the hill and along
the side of the road, in almost brutal and wanton manner.
reflecting the deepest disgrace on all by wham it was
perpetrated or encouraged. One little boy, ten years old,
was deliberately fired at and shot while running across a
field. Mr. Fitzmautice stopped a man in the act of
firing at a girl, who was rushing from her father's
house ; an old woman, of went y, was murdered, and the
skull of an idiot was beaten in with the butts of their muskets.
Another old woman was severely beaten in her house, while
another, who was subsequently saved by the police, was
much injured, and loft in her house, which had been set
on fire. An inoffensive man was taken out of his house,
dragged to his garden, anti stabbed to death by three men
with bayonets, in the sight of seine of his family. The
Roman Catholic chapel, the house of the Roman
Catholic curate, and the National School-house,
were fired into, and the windows broken.
And a number of the surrounding houses of the
Roman Catholic in habitants were set on fire and burnt,
every article of furniture having been first wantonly
destroyed." _ .

And now, in the name of common humanity—in
the name of the GOD of Mercy—in the name of out-
raged law—let us ask how was it that these inhuman
and demoniac atrocities were allowed to be perpe-
trated in the face of such a force of police, military,
and magistrates ? Why were no prisoners of the
Orange party made ? Did these authorities assemble
at Dolly's Brae to give countenance and protection to
the slayers of innocent children and the murderers of
helpless old women ? The tomahawk and scalping.
knife of the ruthless savage was never employed in
more revolting and barbarous cruelties. We blush
for our common nature. We shall never hear the
name of Orangeman again without shuddering; the
execrable sound will call up the horrid picture of
innocent childhood and feeble age calling in vain for
mercy. Orangeman in future shall be in our mind
but another name for cruelty and cowardice, and the
man who would not blush to belong to that sangui-
nary gang should be branded as the hater of his kind
—the enemy of GOD and man. The wicked assassin
of the south will respect age and sex ; he stabs no old
women, he shoots no innocent children. The mur-
derous Orangeman " robs the assassin of his crimes,
and makes him spotless." Yet these are the fellows
who dare to boast their descent from the men who
fought at the Boyne and Aughrim. Oh no I it is
impossible, they are the feculent issue of the camp-
followers, those human carrion crows who hover in
the rear of armies to rob and strip the dead. There
is no touch of the generous mercy of the brave in
their composition, and we feel convinced there is no
true drop of soldier's blood in their veins.

GERMANY
AND
THE NORTHERN STATES.

PRUSSI A.

Prince FREDERICK WILLIAM became of age on
the 19th, and was solemnly admitted by the KING
into the order of the Black Eagle. Immediately
afterwards a chapter was held of the knights of the
order, at which Count BRANDENBURGLI and General
vox WRANGEL were elected, and immediately after-
wards the solemnity of their investiture took place.
The whole of the Prussian line infantry is about to
receive a new organization, or rather change, of bri-
gades and garrisons. The 40 regiments, consisting
each of three battalions, will form 1G brigades, each
of two regiments or six battalions, excepting the 2d,
15th, and 18th brigades, to be quartered at Dantzic,
Cologne, and Trives, which will consist of three
regiments each, leaving five regiments (15 battalions)
for the garrison of Luxemburg and Mayence.
Two brigades form a division, two divisions a
corps d armee, exclusive of the 15 battalions in
the Federal garrisons; which, in case of need,
could form the 17th and 18th brigades. The
line cavalry is divided into sixteen brigades, each of
two regiments, forming eight divisions (exclusive of
the Guards), one division attached to each corps
darmee. The artillery is similarly organized, and
consists of eight divisions—each division of two
brigades ; each brigade of two batteries of eight field-
pieces each ; and a reserve brigade per division, giving
forty-eight field-pieces per division ; with two bat-
teries for each division of cavalry. So that a corps
darmee, without reserves, may be taken at 23,000
infantry, 2,400 sabres or lancers, and sixty-four field-
pieces, including the reserve park.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton-market at Liverpool yesterday was very
animated, and the sales were estimated at 15,000 bales,
including 7,000 on speculation. Prices of till kinds were
id. to id. per lb. higher since Saturday last.—ln Rail-
way Shares a fair business was done at advanced quo-
tations.
In the colonial markets to-day, there is a fair business
doing in Coffee, and the accounts from abroad are all
is favour of the article. From the appearance of the
Liverpool Market, Cotton also seems to be again likely
to attract much notice.
The private letters from Canada still teem with com-
plaints of the state of trade, and of the spread of an-
nexation doctrines.
The foreign accounts received this morning are tole-
rably satisfactory. At Amsterdam on Saturday not much
was doing. Spanish Three per Cents. brought 26. i.
The Frankfort Market on the 20th inst. was at 89i for
Austrian Bonds; and at Vienna, on the 18th, Austrian
Stock was quoted 95i, the Exchange being at 10.50.
The receipts of the railroad from Antwerp to Ghent were
last month 35,532 francs.
There has been much sympathy expressed in com-
mercial circles at the suspension of payments by Messrs.
Enderby, long and honourably known from their
connexion with the whale fishery and various
branches of trade, besides being esteemed for their
talent and truly English energy. This house ranked
very high formerly, and the father of the present part-
ners, who are brothers, we believe, was very
wealthy. Unfortunately, however, it is not
always an enlightened or spirited prosecution
of an undertaking that commands success, and
Messrs. Enderby have sabred like other firms from
the severe trials of the last two or three years, and from
the special misfortune, besides, of the destruction by fire
of a rope manufactory in which they were largely in•
terested. One of the partners received an appointor nt to
the Auckland Islands, and sailed last August. Accord-
ing to the statement made, the liabilities will fall chiefly
among the relatives of the firm.
The Turkish political difficulty is occasioning incon-
venience in mercantile circles, and there is some disin-
clination among the Lombard-street houses to,receive
paper connected with the Bank of Constantinople unless
otherwise secured. This may be more a matter of pre-
caution than the result of any known risk, but confidence
is most sensitive, and we have good proof of the injury
almost instantaneously occasioned by the apprehension
of war.
There has been a statement forwarded from Mexico
by the agents of the bondholders, and which shows
the extent of the duty collections, although nothing
new is communicated upon the subject of the plan before
Congress fbr an arrangement of the debt. Mr. W. B.
Robertson returns to England, however, by the next
packet, and will be able then to render an account of his
stewardship, the judicious administration of which the
committee here seems likely to dispute. A bill of lading
for 23,000 dollars comes from Tampico, and for 62,275
dollars from Vera Crux.
The Funds are very quiet again, but steady. Every
hour we are expecting later news from Turkey. Consols

Railway Shares are good again, but with rather
limited dealings. York and Berwick are flat upon the
committee's report.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.
(Before the RECORDER.)
BUROLA.RY.—A young man, named George Archer,
pleaded Guilty to having broken into the house of a lady
named Williams, and stealing a pepper box, two
spoons, and other articles, and was sentenced to two
years' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of
Correction.

Joseph Bowel!, a youth aged 17, also pleaded Guilty to
stealing 431. 10s. 9d. from his employer, and recaired a
like sentence.

John Parker Jones surrendered to an indictment
charging him, under Lord Campbell's recent Act, with
threatening to publish a libel on Francis Robert Martin,
a Lieutenant in the Royal Marines, Woolwich.
Mr. CLA.RKSON (with whom was Mr. Bodkin) stated
the case to the jury. Ile said the prosecutor was s
ung gentleman, under twenty years of age, and theattendant, ho believed, had recently been called to the bar.
Mr. BALLA-NTINE (who conducted the defence) said,
this was not so. Mr. Jones some years ago was a mem-
ber of a respectable legal firm; but was now in inde-
pendent circumstances.

Mr. CLARKSON said, it appeared that the youth
had been introduced by a Mr. Grey to the
defendant, and that card-playing had taken place
on various occasions at the house of the defendant
at Plumstead-common. The prosecutor gave an I 0 IL
to Mr. Jones for a sum of 321. 103., which he had lost.
The money was not paid, and several communications had
taken place with respect to it. As it remained unpaid,
the defendant addressed a letter to the prosecutor, dated
from No. 1, Lower Purk. place, Plumstead-common, to
the effect that he had laid the whole matter before the
commanding officer, Colonel Parker; and that should his
reply be inconclusive, ho should have 100 circulars printed
like the one he ordered, and send one to every officer in the
barracks preliminary to giving the matter to which
it related further publicity. Tho circular was headed,
" To be sold cheap;" and went on to say, " a long over-
due I 0 U of Lieut. Francis Robert Newton, Royal
Marines, Woolwich, given for a lengthened card account,
and towards the liquidation of which he has never had
the honesty to pay one farthing." Parties were to apply
to a party in Hemlock-court, Carey-street. Ile would
not go into the whole of the circumstances under which
the debt was alleged to have been contracted, but simply
observe that, in law, no person was bound to pay debts
incurred at play.

Mr. Newton, the prosecutor, was then examined by
Mr. BODKIN, and detailed the particulars in connexion
with the giving of the I 0 U. At one sitting ha said he
lost 981. or 1004 at play.

The REcoRDEn----And what was the amount of your
salary? Witness—My what?
The RECORDER repeated his interrogatory. Witness
1001. a year.
The RECORDER—Then you lost the whole amount of
one year's salary at one sitting at cards. The witness
acquiesced in the fact.

In crosi-examination he stated that his father's name
was Augustus Newton; that he was a barrister; and
that he had drawn the indictment in this case, and had
applied for the warrant against the defendant.
The RECORDER said the COUTIO pursued by Mr.
Newton, senior, was a very natural one under the cir-
cumstances.

Colonel Pack and other witnesses were called, who
proved the facts stated in the opening speech of the
eounsel fir the prosecution.
Mr. BALL&NTINE then addressed the jury on the part
of the defendant, and
The RECOIIDER having summed up,
The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty.

NEW COURT.
(Before the Corium SERGEANT and Mr. Ald. Firms.)
The Court was occupied during the morning in trying
Mint prosecutions for uttering counterfeit coin, but none
of them possessed any feature of importance.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(THIS DAY.)
The October adjourned sessions were commenced this
morning, before the Assistant-Judge, at tho Sessions-
house, Clerkenwell-green. There aro sixty prisoners
for trial.

William Ellis, a boy, pleaded Guilty to an indictment
for stealing two pewter puts, value 25., the property of
Mr. David Hughes, a licensed victualler.
It appeared that the prisoner had before been con-
♦icted of a like offence, for which he underwent the
punishment of three months' imprisonment, with hard
labour, and

The JUDGE now sentenced him to six months' im-
prisonment, in pursuance of the intimation given last
session, that the Court would visit the increasing offence
of pot• stealing with increasing severity, until the gmetice
be checked.

SURREY SESSIONS.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before THos/As PUCYLE, Esq., and a full Bench of
Magistrates.)
James Bulpit, 16, was indicted for stealing two pair of
boots from the shop of James Banter, a bootmaker at
Bermondsey.
The wife of the prosecutor stated that while she was
sitting at ber tea in the back room, on the evening of the
27th ultimo, she heard a noise in her shop, and on look-
ing up she perceived the prisoner creeping out of tlee
shop with two pair of boots under his arm. Sh• instantly
followed him, and after a smart chase captured him, but
he had thrown the boots into the street.

In defence, the prisoner denied being in the prose-
cutor's shop at all, neither did ho know anything of the
boots.

Verdict—Guilty. Sentence—siz months at Brixton,
and to be once privately whipped.

BOW-STREET.(THIS DAY.)
CAUTION TO SERVANTS OUT OF PLACE.—A respec-,
tably attired middle-aged woman, who had anything
but the appearance of a prostitute, was charged with
being drunk and annoying gentlemen in the Mall of St
James'a Park.

Police-constable A 187, stated that last night ho was
on duty in the Mall, in plain clothes, when he observed
the prisoner accost and annoy several gentlemen, and
requested her to go away, telling her that he was an
officer; but instead of doing so, she commenced abusing
him. She was drunk at the time, and, knowingi her to
be a prostitute, he ultimately thought it right to take
her into custody.
Mr. HENav asked the defendant what she had to say
to the charge? She indignantly denied that she was
the character the officer had described her. She was a
virtuous woman, having hitherto been in the service of
several respectable families, and to•morrow sho was
going into another situktion.
Mr. HENRY wished to knew how it was that she was
drunk in the Park? She replied that she was going
home from a brother's in Wardour-street, Oxford-street,
where she had been spending the evening rather plea-•
santly ; but although she bad been drinking she was not
in the least intoxicated. _ _

repeated that she was, while the de-
impossible that a respectable woman like

not sober, and it wa
she had been guilty of the charge imputed to her.
Still the fact of her having been arrested was a suffi-
cient punishment for the offence, and he should order her
to be discharged.
The defendant complained bitterly of having been
dragged through the public streets as an offender against
the laws, and accused the police constable of having un-
necessarily pulled her clothes about.
Mr. HENRY thought that the drink she had taken must
hare had some tili et upon her senses, and her own
violence might have caused that. To some extent she
ought to be thankful that she was allowed to go away
without a penalty, but he hoped the night's imprison-
ment she had suff,red would be a warning to her to
keep sober in future.
She was then discharged.
