IRELAND.

DUBLIN, July 1, Evening.
An Orange demonstration was made to-day at
Lisburn. Five or six thousand Orangemen assem-
bled in the Grain-market with flags and music, and
went, though not in array, from that to a field near
the railway-station, where a platform had been
erected, in front of which was an Orange arch
and a representation of King William 111. Mr.
William Beers took the chair, and the meeting
was addressed by the Grand Master of Donegal,
the Rev. Dr. Drew, Mr. Stewart Blacker, Mr.
Johnston, and others. In the course of his speech
Dr. Drew expressed his gratitute for Mr. Disraeli's
reply to Lord Enniskillen's letter, and for raising
the " No Popery" cry.
During the proceedings three constables in plain
clothes who had taken part in the prosecution of Mr.
Johnston were recognised by some of the Orange-
men, chased out of the field, pelted with stones,
and obliged to take refuge in the railway station.
A large crowd collected about the station and re-
fused to disperse.
A body of 60 police, under the command of Mr.
Montgomery, resident magistrate, and two sub-
inspectors arrived. The Riot Act was read three
times before the mob dispersed, and they were
enabled to rescue the three constables.
After the meeting a man named Cowan was killed
by a train while standing on the railway.
In the case of " Harris v. Begot," the jury this
evening returned a verdict for the defendant.

The Irish papers comment on the fate of the
Suspensory Bill in the Ilouse of Lords. The
Freeman's Journal states that the majority did not
equal that which was expected by all who entered
into a calculation on the point ; and, in reference
to the charac'er of the speaking, describes the
Lord Chancellor as having been "monotonous,
dull, and very nisi prius," whilst Lord Granville
was, on the contrary, " pointed and clear ;" and
Earl Russell "ponderous and painfully elaborate,
but there was power in his minuteness and weight
in his references." The Northern Whig says the
bill was discussed in a gorgeous chamber of landed
proprietors and senators far removed from the mul-
titude. "Many of the majority, besides the nine-
teen or twenty bishops who exhibited such an im-
posing array of lawn sleeves during the three
nights' debate, may be considered to have a direct
personal interest in the Irish Church as united
with the English Church. Arguments which may
well content them, cannot, however, be expected
to convince the outside public, whose friends and
relatives are not likely to be made dignitaries of
the Establishment." The archbishops and bishops
of the Irish Church, writes the same journal, have
been very successful in pleading the cause of their
Church with the Lords, but they can scarcely hope
to have the same success with the householders of
the next Parliament. " The Suspensory Bill has
been thrown out, but the victory, it is admitted
even by those who helped to gain it, is not one to
rejoice at. The Te Deum sounds very much like
a dirge. Notwithstanding the majority of this
morning, the money market will certainly look very
shy on any personal interest in the Irish Church
created after the rejection of the Suspensory
Bill."

Officialism at the antipodes would appear to de-

light in rounded periods and the graces of literary
style. A gentleman who applied to the Sydney
Post-office for-information respecting a letter which
some mont!,s previously he had addressed to the
care of the " poste restante " there, was informed
in reply that the letter " had become invalid owing
to the effiuxion of time."

Early in this year a negro was taken from gaol at
Frankfort, Kentucky, and lynched. In recent pro-
ceedings before the grand jury, in the matter, one
of the witnesses summoned was the Rev. Mr.
Young, a Catholic priest, a Dutch gentleman resi-
dent in the United States, but not naturalised. It
appears that before the gaol had been forced the
Attorney for the Commonwealth appealed to Mr.
Young to go among the crowd, asno one else dared to
do so, and endeavour to prevent the contemplated
outrage. The priest went accordingly ; the crowd
was in great part composed of Irish Catholics, and,
notwithstanding the excitement, his person was re-
spected. It is believed that he succeeded in
saving the life of the gaoler, but he could nob
save the negro. He was now required to state
to the grand jury who were the persons that were
breaking open the gaol. lie refused, stating
that he was admitted among the crowd exception-
ally and solely as a priest, and did his utmost is
favour of peace and good order, and that it would
be a breach of implied faith and an abuse of hie
sacred office to obtain information by it in confi•
deuce and then act the part of an informer. The
case was referred to the United States Court, and
argued before one of the judges. He has decided
that there is no such privilege as is claimed, and the
priest, still refusing to answer, has been committed
to prison.

A despatch from Berlin states that a very seriono
accident has happened to the Countess de Bismarck,
at the Chateau de Varzin, in Pomerania. For some
reason or other not stated she stood upon a chair,
and falling down broke one of her ribs. She re-
mained several hours without surgical assistanec,
and is said to be in a dangerous state. . _

A prophecy is current in the Punjaub that the
next Mussulinan year-1286 Hegira—will Bee tho
advent of the great Mahometau deliverer, the Imams
Meundee.
