DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.
EXTENSION OF WILE PROCLAIMED DISTRICT.

The following announcement appare in the Post
of this evening :
" At a meeting of the Privy Council, held on Satur-
day—present, the Lord-Lieutenant, the Lord Chancellor.
the Lord Justice, Mr. Baron Greene, the Attorney-
General, the Recorder, and the Right Hon. J. W. Fitz-
patrick—it was resolved to enlarge the limits of the pro-
claimed district, so as to embrace several additional
townlands on the Down side of Belfast, and an additiona
proclamation was agreed to accordingly. We nuclei-stain
that this fresh step was rendered necessary by report,
from the local authorities that the arms which had bees'
so lately in the hands of the rioters had been carried
across the river, and concealed in the adjoining district:
of-Down, within reach andaavailable for immediate us.
in case an opportunity was presented for fresh dis-
turbances.

"The proclamation now embraces the whole of Bellew
and its suburbs, with a considerable rural district on sad,
side, within which any person who carries or has arms
without license, is subject to heavy penal consequences
We hail this step as a fresh indication of the intention 01
the Executive to use the powers of the law for the re
pression of outrage and the complete restoration of peat.
and order. The result of the firm measures of the G.,.
verument is already apparent ; the last-two Sundays have
passed over with the quiet characteristics which ought t,
mark the Christian Sabbath, and unsignalised by tumul
Ur disorder. We most sincerely hope that the people of
Belfast have been awakened to a sense of the misconduo
and humiliation so widely prevailing, and that, by the
continuance of peace and obedience ao the law, they wa3
soon be in a position to be again placed within the pale
of the constitution, and on a footing with the rest of the
community.'
Referring to Lord Carlisle's observations on the
state of Belfast, delivered by his Excellency on
Saturday at the • moetinz of the Senate of th,
Queen's University, the Post makes the following
observations :

"It has just occurred to us to place the subject of the
Belfast riots and street-preaching in a light in which it
has not yet been viewed. Belfast is the oriy consider-
able town in Ireland disgraced by parry riots and wreck-
ing& It is the only largo town in which the population
is at all equaly divided as regards religious denomina-
tions; and it is the only town where there is an organise,
party confederacy, backed by preaching in the public
highways, to assail and outrage the portion of the inha-
bitants belonging to one particular denomination. Eve,
in Ulster, Belfast is the only town in this most discredi-
table condition. Suppose the Orange population wer,
stronger,, more numerous, and better armed than
Roman Catholics, surely that fact would restrain men of
true courage, not to speak of religion, from taking ad-
vantage of their strength to play the bully and the tyrant.
Look to the south, the east, and the west—to Munster,
Leinster, and Connaught. In every town, great and
small, the Catholics very largely preponderate. In many
planes they out-number the Established Church and
other denominations by ten to one. Yet, without
soldiery, and often without police, Protestants are a,
safe from insult or attack as if the towns were garrisoned
for their protection. In all those towns where Catholics
form the preponderating majority there are no societies
or clubs to insult or preach against Protestants-. On the
contrary, it is our sincere belief that if any persons had
the wickedness to attempt aggressions against the Pro-
teStant inhabitants, they would be crushed by the who],
force of public indignation. Why, then, is it that Bel-
fast—the only large town in which the population is
about equally divided—should be ignobly distinguished
for intolerant persecution against Catholics? Clearly
because it is the hotbed of Orangeisrn, and because
clergymen belonging to the Presbyterian as well as the
Established Church have so far forgotten their sacred
calling and responsibilities as to herd among the heated
partisans of the Orange lodges and to become the agents
of faction, instead of the ministers of peace."
