THE DEVONSHIRE MEETING.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Newspaper which surrenders itself to fac-
tious purposes, and which is willing and has au or
portunity to falsify events immediately after their
occurrence, way succeed in obtaining credence for a
considerable time to its mis-statements. Thus it ap-
pears to have happened with regard to the Devon-
shire County Meeting, held last Friday.
An Anti-Catholic Exeter Journal, called True-
man's Journal, came out on the very evening of
the Meeting, and stated that the numbers were
about fifteen to one in favour of the Anti-Catholic
petition, and this early mis-statement has, it is to be
supposed, obtained some degree of credence. Is
surely was one of the most impudent attempts eves:
made to mislead and deceive the public-

Of the nobility, gentry, and landed interest, about
three-fourths were in faro= of the Catholics ; of the
crowd (as the persons below the hustings were
terr►aed by the Anti-Catholic seconder), sorarzthing
about two, and less than three to one, were against
the Catholics.

AN EYE WITNESS.

LETTER OP HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THe

DUKE OF CUMBERLAND.

(From the DN/din Warder•.)

TO THE RIONT NON. THE EARL 01' ENNISKILLEN, Dipurf
OHAND MASTEN OF THE ROYAL OLANGH INSTITUTION.

OF laItLAND.

Iltrlin, November 1, 1828.

MY DRAB. LCULD,-tiaving had the gratification of sc-
eepting the office of Grand Master of the Loyal Orange
Institution of Great Britain, as successor to my much-
lamented brotLer, the Duke of York, and having'presided
at its anniversary in the month of Jame last, it cannot but
afford me great gratification to accept the proposal made to
me, through yon, to fill a similar office in Ireland, whero
that loyal society originsted for the defence of the constitu-
tion in a time of peril, and where, still more even than in
Great Britain, every energy is needed to defend the sacred
cause of Protestantism.

Ary attachment to that cause, which I imbibed from the
instructions and example cf my late revered father, George
111., has been increased and strengthened by experience and
reflection ; convinced a I am that the British constitution,
the most invaluable that ever existed, from its religious and
free character, cannot continue, should Protestant ascen-
dancy be destroyed. I shall ever be found to abide by thew
principles which guided the conduct of my honoured father
and sovereign, and of my beloved brother, the present King,
and the late Dnke of York; and which I cannot but con-
sider to be those for the defance of whisks the House of
Brunswick was called to the Throne_

I rejoice that the time is arrived when the laws no longer
forbid the revival of the laws in Ireland, and that I Lave
the pleasure of confiding its intereobs to you, my dear Lori,
as Deputy-Grand-Master.
13eliere me, my dear Lor3, yours, very sincerely,
ERNEET.

The Society of Arts held a meeting on Tues-
day, the l3th, to consider the propriety of diseontinuilK
the annual distribution of the rewards in the King's
Theatre.

Our attention has lately been directed to a
medicinal preparation, by Mr. Leonard Towne, cliyalist, late
of Newark; which, judging from the numerous and highly
respectable testitnouiuls by which it is supported, must
prove highly efficacious, and afford an almost certain cure
iu cases of that dehtruative malady, the rot in sheep. To
Irish graziers, in particular, whose flocks have suffered
from the unusual humidity of the season, we may venture
to recommend it, in the firm ccavietion of its preduciag
good effects.
