TEE ORANGE SocrErr.—The folic** resolutions wer4ool
da
passed unanimously at a meeting heltE attune, on Mon-1L.41
y, February 12, 1844, which was 5 . ',h... by the repre

counties of Antrim and Berry :
" Resolved—That the Grand Lodi:: rfeltlint
dissolved themselves, the district mas eiet
form themselves into a lodge, to be called the GraiiclLbage
of Ulster.'
" That, in consequence of the dissolution of the Grand
Lodge of Ireland, and the consequent disorganisation of the
Orange system in this country, it is expedient that the same
powers and privileges which were vested in the Grand Lodge
of Ireland, during its existence, be now vested in the Grand
Lodge of Ulster.

"—That a Committee be appointed to carry out the above
resolutions.
" That, as Orangemen, we are bound to preserve unshaken-
loyalty to our Gracious Queen, being Protestant, and to
support her against all her enemies, foreign or domestic ;
that we will stand together to defend with our properties
and lives the integrity of the empire, as cemented by the
Legislative Union ; and that we will, by the grace of God,
to the best of our ability, maintain the Holy Scriptures as
the standard of faith and morals.

" That the Orange Institution commenced when this
kingdom was threatened with invasion by foreign enemies,
and rebellion by internal foes ; and that our brethren in the
year 1798, and at all other times, have proved by their acts
as yeomen and Orangemen, the strong attachment they have
held to the Sovereign and our once glorious Constitution.
" That we have, for some time past, witnessed with alarm
the rebellious spirit which has shown itself—and that we are
determined, as Protestants, to unite more closely in those
bonds, that will enable us in this time of peril to resist the
attacks of our inveterate enemies, whose sole aim is our extir-
pation from this country for ever.
" That the Grand Lodge of Ulster do receive into union4ll
lodges in the province which may wish to join themselves to
it, and that all county masters be ex-officio members of the
Grand Lodge of Ulster."

DEATH OF MAJOR-GHNERAL GOODMAN.—(From
the Guiana Herald, Jan. 3.)—This day the melancholy duty
devolves upon us to record the death of Major-deneral
Goodman, C. 8., K.H.—a sad, but, we believe, not wholly un-
expected event, which occurred last gyming, about nine
o'clock. General Goodman, beside tErhs'Aerable service in
the Peninsula, was present at the 4 'gloat and crowning day"
of Waterlob.

A SECOND DANIEL LAMBERT.—On Sunday after-
noon "..
was buried at St. Bride's church, Fleet-street,Viial- - •
I:nov.a character, named Charles Cole,' aged 42, who was
found by his wife, on the morning of Tuesday last, lying dead
by her side. Cole, though not more than 5 feet 7 inches in
F height, was of extraordinary bulk, weighing nearly 24 stone
(141bs. per stone). He had been in the capacity of cook at the
Rainbow, in Fleet-street, nearly 14 years, and during that
period he gave great satisfaction to his employers and others.
A short time before his decease, however, he had grown
enormously fat. A slight mistake, it would seem, had been
made made in the dimensions of the coffin, it being upwards
of 6 feet 3 inches in length, done probably for the purpose of
taking off the appearance of its bulk, but on being brought to
the grave it was found to be much too long; this occasioned
some delay : it was, however, speedily rectified, and the
ponderous mass was soon consigned to mother earth.
THE CASE OF SUPPOSED TRANCE AT DEPTFOUD.--.
Upon instituting inquiry yesterday, as connected with the
supposed trance of the young man, William Francis, who lies
at the Oxford Arms, Church-street, Deptford, Dr. Arthur,
and other medical gentlemen, who have watched the case,
say decomposition is already manifesting itself in the neck
and abdomen.

of each, 8 feet 3 inches. Weight of first, 42 stones, 4 pounds,
and of second, 40 stones, 11 pounds.—lpswich Express.
CONFESSIONS OF A WHITEFOOT...4t is impossible
to read this remarkable book which, though dealing in facts,
is as profoundly interesting as a well-wrought work of
fiction, without feeling that it is likely to be beneficial to all
classes in Ireland. The "Confessions' are a striking repre-
sentation, by an Irishman, of Irish crimes, follies, and weak-
nesses, as they exist not alone in the lower orders, but in the
proprietors of the soil. In exhibiting the numerous evils of
which he treats, the author shows how they may be averted.
He proves that "much may be done by the landlord, much
by the magistrates, much by the Legislature—and, what is
more important than all, much by the people themselves."
Independently of the value of the " Confessions," in a social
point of view, the work possesses the most absorbing power
of entertainment as a narrative ; and no reader can open its
irnessive pages without eagerly perusing them to the end.
PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS AT WASHINGTON.
—ln the House of Representatives the proceedings concluded
with a fight. The account of it may interest our readers, and
even surprise some who do not read the American papers.
A Mr. Weller had told a Mr. Shriver that Certain written
statements were incorrect :—" To this Mr. Shriver answered,
that he wrote them from his own observation, or inforraa
tion, and that if Mr. Weller said they were false, he told
falsehoods, or was a liar. Weller then struck him, and they
clinched, fell against one of the windows, broke it (this was
just behind the Globe reporter's desk), and down went one
or both of them. Several Members rushed up, some tried to
separate them, others cried 4 Let 'em have a fair fight ;:and
one Democratic Member said,' If there's anybody that wishes
to take his part (alluding to the Whigs), I shall take a hand
in the matter myself.' Finally, after several blows had been
struck, Mr. Broadhead, of Pennsylvania, separated them.
Mr. Shriver went to the Police-office, got a warrant for Mr.
Weller, and held Mr. Weller to bail."

HORRIBLE RENCONTRE.—A slip from the ffarris.
burgh Chronicle, dated Friday, announces a fatal iencontre
that day between Mr. J. R. Prince, of that place, and Mr.
T. R. H. Loud, attorney-at-law. There had been some diffi-
culty between them arising out of some lepil business trans-
acted by the latter for the former. On Friday morning, at
about eleven o'clock, the parties met near the corner of Third
and Walnut-streets, and Mr. Prince inquired of Mr. Loud as
to the truth of certain derogatory language which he (Mr.
Prince) had understood Mr. Loud had made respecting him.
The latter denied his right to question him, and was about So
move on, when Mr. Prince, who was armed with a heavy
walking-stick, caught him by the collar, and applied his cant
to the shoulders of Mr. Loud. Before he had struck the third
blow Mr. Loud drew a double-barrelled pistol, took deliberate
aim, and fired. Both balls entered the body of his antagonist
just below the left breast, causing instant death. Mr. Prince
was a highly respectable citizen, has left a wife And four chil-
dren, and the scene, when his lifeless corpse was conveyed to
his family, is described as most heartrending. Loud imme-
diately gave himself up, and was undergoing examination.--

THE SPITALFIELDS WEAVERS.—Last night, at
eight o'clock, a general meeting of the journeymen broad
silk weavers, of Spitalfields, Bethnal-green, and the vicinity,
was held at the Crown and Anchor, Cheshire-street, Water-
loo-town, to hear the report of the committee relative to
their interview with Mr. W. E. Gladstone, President of the
Board of Trade. Mr. Gale having been called to the chair,
briefly stated the object of the meeting, when Mr. Sher-
wood, one of the deputation who waited on the Board of
Trade, said, that at the interview there were present Mr. W.
E. Gladstone, President of the Board of Trade, the Earl of
Dalhousie, and Mr. G. Shaw Lefevre, with whom they re-
mained two hours, and by whom their representations were
listened to most patiently. The object of the deputation was
to show the intense privations and sufferings endured by the
labourers in consequence of the operation of the principles of
free trade. They pointed out that In the " eat trar Lko
weaver at Manchester received 265. Bd. per week, whereas
the wages of the weavers now were 3s. 6d. They urged that
the Government should, as formerly, give them some legis-
lative protection. In the reign of Edward IV. they stated
that a law was passed to protect the working man, and is
every successive reign to that of Elizabeth the same system
was adopted, when the sheriffs and magistratea were em-
powered to see that the price of food and articles of necessity
should not exceed the means of the labourer to purchase
them. The effect of the present system of free trade was,
that the manufacturers amassed immense fortunes, much
larger than was ever in the power of the farmers to obtain.
Mr. Gladstone directed the attention of the deputation to the
difficulty of giving legislative protection, but assured them
that Government would be most anxious to take their re-
presentations into consideration. The report was agreed to,
and a resolution was unanimously adopted, advocating a
legislative enactment for the protection of labour. Another
resolution was carried, thanking Mr. Oastler for 'his exer-
tions in their cause. The meeting separated about 11 o'clock.
EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.—The Rev. Jeffery Da-
vies, curate of Cadoxton, Glamorganshire, niet his death last
week in a 'most extraordinary manner. A small but rather
deep hole had been made by the side of a new sawpit at
Neat!), for the purpose of inserting:a post, and into this hole
the Rev. Gentleman at night fell, and he was discovered dead
in it next morning. The hole in which the body was found
was only 2i feet in diameter at the surface, two feet at bot-
tom, and six in depth. The body was in a sitting postnr9,
but, from the narrowness of the hole, nearly doubled up ; the
feet were elevated above the level of the head, which was
pressed down on the chest. From the sandy nature of the
soil, the deceased's heels could get no purchase, although his
efforts to extricate himself appeared to have been most vio-
lent, from the quantity of loose sand which he had displaced
from the sides of the hole and deposited in his lap, and which
partially filled his mouth and eyes.
AN ATTACHED SERVANT. Mr. H. M'Hallum,
aged 85, died last week at. Castle Donington, for 72 years a
faithful servant to the late lamented Marquis of Hastings and
his ancestors. When the sad intelligence arrived of hisar
loved Lord's death, it was too much for his feeble_freale;
his grief became excessive. After the remain of I
quis
were placed in the vault, he descended, took (B)tuff,dhties lint, and
