THE MINISTRY-ORANGE FEELING.

The following extraordinary article appears in the
Northern Standard, the Orange organ of Monaghan :
" The liberation of O'Connell has tended to chstpge
the position of parties in Ireland. The Conservive
party henceforth place no confidence whatever in the
Peel Ministry. They have long looked upon the pro-
sent Government with suspicion and distrust, but dis-
gust at the deception they have practised is now the
prevalent feeling. We feel convinced that Sir Robert
Peel was the liberator of the conspirators, and, build-
ing on this belief, we must ask, for what pprposo
they were prosecuted at all ? If Sir Robert Peel
belisyed they outragcd the law, and that they were
fairly tried, he should, as Pric4o Minister of Eng-
land, have vindicated the law instead of rendering it
a laughing-stock to the nations—for a laughing-stock
and a bye word the law of England has become.
O'Connell was either right or wrong in the mole of
agitation he adopted. The Government believed him
wrong, proclaimed his meetings, and arrested himself.
If he was right—and the reversal of his sentence shows
that he was right—there is not in the British empire a
more aggrieved man. What can be worse than to bring
to the bar of justice an innocent magi :to entail upon
him thousands of pounds expense inThis defence (no
matter by whom
paid—it came from the capital of the
country), to debar him for months from his usual
avocations, and in the end, to cast him, an old and
toilworn man, into a prison for several months ? This
is a stain upon British justice; it is an insult that
Ireland will yet avenge ; it is a dishonour that ' the
millions with the pike will one day wash out with
the blood of the Saxon. Ireland can never forget the
30th of May, 1844, when the leaders who were
struggling legally (for Sir Robert says it was legal)
for the rights of their country, were imprisoned for
their patriotism. All this ignominy—this disgrace—
and this cause for retribution—has Sir Robert Peel
entailed upon the country by his foal attZlnpt go de-
stroy British law and justice. He has made &au-
sands of repealers. lie has botched the whole affair,
and has increased O'Connell's power a thousand fold.
We are almost inclined to laalieve he intends grantin6,
at least, a federal Parliament to Ireland. There is

only one resource :—Compel the Government to call
for power to put down the repeal movement by force.
The alternative i 3, join their ranks and take your
chance.—Choose."

Orders have been received on board the royal
steam•yacht Victoria and Albert to have everything
ready for her Majesty's embarkation on Monday the
30th inst., on which day her Majesty has signified her
intention of leaving Scotland on her return voyage. The
yacht is still lying in the river Tay off Dundee, and it is
understood that her Majesty will embark at the florae
place where she landed, and that the royal party will
leave Blair Athol on Monday morning, immediatly after
breakfast, and arrive in Dundee between three and four
o'clock, whence they will proceed at once on board the
yacht. By this arrangement her Majesty will arrive at
Woolwich, near mid-day on Wednesday. The voyage .
from the river to Dundee occupied upwards of forty-two.
hours, and, calculating that it will take the same time to
return, should her Majesty embark at Dundee at four
o'clock on Monday, the 30th inst., the yacht will reach
Woolwich on Wednesday, October 2, about ten o'tiltipk.
