DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING.
According to the Freeman's .Tournai of this
morning, the following legal appointments and
resignations are reported as very likely to take
place within a short period. Two or three of them,
at least, have been long spoken of as certainties, but
as the law delays are somewhat notorious, it may
be that even yet November term may come and go
without any important changes in the judicial
staff:—
" The Attorney-General to be a Baron of the Exchequer,
in room of Baron Greene, who retiree, owing to continued
ill-health.

" The Right Hon. Abraham Brewster, Q.C., to be Lord
Justice of Appeil, in the place of Franci.3 Blackburne, who
also resigns from ill-health.
"The Solicitor-General, Thomas O'llagan, Q.C., to be
Attorney-General; and Sergeant Lawson, the Castle ad-
viser, to be Solicitor-General.

"Richard Armstrong, Esq., Q.C., to be Serjeant ; and
Charles Hare Hemphill, Esq., Q.C., to be Castle adviser.
" The following gentlemen have been respectively named
to fill the office of Master in Chancery, vacant by the resig-
nation of Mr. Acheson Lyle.
" Mr. David Lynch, Judge of the Bankrupt Court ; Sir
Colman O'Loghlen, Q.C., Chairman of County Mayo ; Mr.
W. Berwick, Judge of the Bankrupt Court ; and Mr.
Robert Andrews, QC., Chairman of County Cork.
"It is also stated that Mr. John L. 0. Ferran, Commis-
sioner of Metropolitan Police, is about to retire, after 24
years' service, and to be succeeded by Captain D. O'Connell,
as Assistant or Second Commissioner of Police."

ORANGE REVELATIONS.
The Fermanagh Reporter, in the course of some
remarks deprecating as uncalled-for the passing of
the Party Emblems Bill, makes some curious reve-
lations respecting the present and future of the
Orange Institution. At one time, and that not
very far back, the Reporter was itself a chosen
vessel high in the confidence of the affiliated
brethren :

" There is at present among the Orange body a great
amount of independent sentiment and opinion. A Roman
Catholic gentleman recently mentioned to us that, except
in religious matters, the Orangemen are the most liberal-
minded people in Ireland. We know that in this locality
there is at present a good deal of sound liberalism among
them, and a strong disinclination to be led any longer by
those who they consider have misled them, and whose views
and interests they hold to be antagonistic to their own.
Some are disposed to separate from the Grand Lodge en-
tirely; some have already separated; others wish to see
first what the Grand Lodge will do. There is in existence
an organisation called the Black P..ceptory, with the nature
of which we are not well acquainted. But we understand
it has no party emblems or party obligations. If the
Orange Society were to resolve itself into that body, and
make such changes in the rules as might be found ex-
pedient, it might be rendered a valuable organisation for
promoting the welfare of the country. Tho Black Pro-
ceptory is much more liberal than the Orange Society;
for its Grand Lodge is composed of delegates sent by the
members to an annual conference. The Orange Grand
Lodge is, we believe, a self-organised and self-perpetuated
body, though delegates from the districts are permitted to
attend. This is utterly contrary to the principles of the
Reformation and the spirit of Protestantism, which require
independence. It is evident that some change will take
place in the Orange body, and it is for its members to con •
Sider whether tho change ought not to be in harmony with
the liberalism which is essential to Protestantism. The in-
terests of Orangemen have not been consulted by the rulers
of the land or their own leaders; and it is for them to con-
sider whether they will longer be subservient to the interests
or wishes of others."

THE NEW MAIL STEAMERS.
The Leinster, one of the new boats destined to
perform the service between Dublin and Holyhead,
made her trial trip yesterday. She started from
Kingstown, with the mails, at 8 minutes past two,
and reached Holyhead at 38 minutes past fire p.m.

CRYSTAL PALACE POULTRY SIIOII7.

A private view of the large collection of poultry,
pigeons, and rabbits constituting the summer show
for 1860 was yesterday afforded in the north wing
of the Crystal Palace. The last two classes are
more than usually numerous, and the varieties of
poultry are very creditably represented, when it is
recollected under what adverse skies the birds—all
of this year's growth—have struggled into exist-
ence. Under the important heads of game fowl,
Dorkings, and Hamburgs, both pencilled and span-
gled, there is a very good display. The Brahma-
pootras are pronounced by the judges to be remark-
ably fine, and the Cochin China fowl, named for
the sake of distinction " cinnamon" and " are
exceedingly good. Of the rarer and more delicate
breeds, Spanish, Polish, bantams, &c., the contribu-
tions are individually meritorious, but in the aggre-
gate not as numerous as could be wished. The total
number of entries is in poultry, 350; of pigeons,
236 ; and of rabbits, 108. Among the poultry one
of the pens which attract most observation con-
tains a couple of Sebastopol geese, the property
of Mr. Baily, and said to be the only specimens
in this country; they are conspicuous by rows of
curled and drooping feathers on either wing. Some
white Dorkings forwarded by Captain Beardmore
share with the foreigners the honours of especial
notice from the fact of their having obtained the
China vase given by Messrs. W. H. Kerr and Co.
A prize rabbit, which, in addition to satisfying the
in a ge on a.. three t,ardillal ponds of Brill, ollstre and
colour of eye, and length of ear, has succeeded in
attaining the weight of 181 b., is likewise one of the
" lions" of the collection. The depressing influence
of the weather yesterday seemed to extend itself
even to the members of this motley gathering; but
at intervals there was sufficient clamour to vindi-
cate the propriety of the decision according to
which the farthest end of the building was chosen
for the exhibition, and to suggest the reflection
whether, in the earliest poultry show on record, the
expediency of allotting a remote corner to the or-
nithological inmates presented itself to Noah be-
fore or after the internal arrangements of the ark
were complete.

ST. SWITHIN DEFIED.—There is now before the
Academy of Sciences at Paris "a wonderful invention" of
Mons. lielvetius Otto, of Leipsic, by which he promises to
" insure fine weather." He erects a platform at a consi-
derable height in the air, on which he places a "propeller,"
or huge bellows, worked by steam. With these bellows,
which are "very powerful," he blows away the r3louds as
they gather; and, as rain comes from the clouds, it must
necessarily follow that where the clouds are not allowed to
gather there can be no rain. He maintains that if a certain
number of his "rain propellers or "pluvifuges," as he has
named them, are placed at intervals over the city," he can
provide for the inhabitants a continuance of fine weather,
and a certain protection from sudden showers and muddy
streets, so long the terror of fair pedestrians. The
poor inhabitants of adjoining towns would be to be pitied.
What would become of them ? As for the pluvifuge pro-
prietors, their motto ought to be " Apres nous le cl6luge."
Victims, however, as we in England have been of late to
wet weather, still we cannot blame the Fronchman's
pluvifuges, inasmuch as France itself has been in nearly
the same predicament—at least the northern parts of it.--•

THE MURDER AT STEPNEY.—Yesterday a com-
munication was received by Capt. Labalmondiere, Assistant
Commissioner of Metropolitan Police, at Scotland-yard,
from Mr. Clive, Under-Secretary at the Home-office, inti-
mating that the Government had decided upon offering a
reward of £lOO for the discovery and apprehension of the
murderer or murderers of Mrs. Emsley, and a free pardon

Perhaps no stronger proof could be obtained of the sym-

THE CROPS.

DISBANDONMENT OF THE POPE'S
IRISH BRIGADE.

A letter of the 18th inst. from Rome says that
e Duke of Modena's troops, about 3,000 strong,
are positively to pass into the Papal service. It is
reported here that Piedmont, in taking note of this
transfer, will declare that, in consequence of it, she
reserves her right to intervene. According to a cor-
respondence of the 13th in the Siecle, a great part of
the Irish battalion was at that date already em-
barked, to be sent back to Ireland. The expense of
sending them back was estimated at 10,000 scudi,
or upwards of £2,000.
"Everybody (says the letter) is delighted at this depar-
ture; there were no limits to the disturbances got up by
these men. The butchers, bakers, and innkeepers were
especial sufferers. Never paid, often beaten, the only satis-
faction they got was, Go to Antonelli ;he will pay you.'
One day M. de Mdrode went to their barracks to harangue
them, but he had to make his escape as fast as possible.
All the talk to-day is of the formation of a sacred battalion,
to be commandei by the celebrated (sic) Cathelineau, and
to be composed of 3,000 picked men. We aro told that these
trbops, who are to be dressed ala Garibaldi, will a irresis-
tible. The Cathelineau in question is the greatesT madman
I know. If he keeps all his promises, the Holy See will
soon recover all its provinces, and Piedmont will be sent
home. The Pope and Cardinal AntOnelli support the for-
mation of this corps; nothing, however, is dared to be done
without Lamoriciere, who orders everything, and his con-
sent is waited for. He is in perpetual movement, going
from Ancona to Spoleto, and from Spoleto to Ancona: I
have just heard that his authorisation has been received
for the formation of the battalion. It is said that if the
foreign troops in the service of Naples be dismissed they I
will be taken into the Pontifical army."

England, by Charles Good and friends, for his pluck in the

spent, and the champion acknowledged the great kindness
he had received in the old city of Bristol.
