DEPARTURE OF THE ROY AL SQUADRON.—The
Duke of Devonshire, we understand, has hired for the present week
a new fast iron steamer, the Wonder belonging to the South.
Western Company, and which has been making the passages be-
tween Southampton, Havre, Gueinsey, and Jersey, in extraordinary
quick time. The object of his Grace is to witness the departure of
the experimental squadron from S it head, which is expected to take
place in the presence of her Wiest) and Prince Albeit, and the
Queen's illustrious visitors, either To-day or To-morrow. The
owners of the splendid yachts now at Cewcs are making great exer-
tions to have them in full sailing order fur this occasion.
'I'IIE REV. F. OAKELEY.—Tiiere was an unusually
large attendance at Margaret-street Chapel on Sunday morning,
partly inconsequence of Sir Herbert Jenner Fust's order that Mr.
Oakeley's suspension should be declared in the course of the ser-
vice, and partly in consequence of a rumour which had obtained
circulation that the Rev. W. U. Richards, the assistant minister,
would speak out somewhat plainly on the course of proceeding
adopted by the diocesan. At eleven o'clock Mr. Richards came
from the vestry.room into the chapel accompanied by five or six
little boys in surplices, all of whom, with their minister, stopped at
the foot of the altar, and reverently bowed to a large wooden cross
which was placed on the table. Prayers were read, the minister
standing the whole time, even during the communion service,
with his back to the congregation—a practice which, though it
may have ecclesiastical sanction, has no claim to decency. At the
close of the communion service Mr. Richards ascended the pulpit
in his surplice, and gave for his text the 11 th chapter of St. Mark's
Gospel, sth verse, but the sermon contained no allusion to what
had recently occurred :—" The poor have the Gospel preached to
them." Then came the offertory, the money,being collected by
the surpliced boys in purple purses, bearing in front a large cross.
The prayer for the church militant concluded the service. At the
close of the prayers, and, indeed, at every stage of the service, the
congregation expected the reading of the order for suspension, but
they were doomed to disappointment, as no intimation of the matter
was given, and the only unusual thing was the absence of Mr.
Oakeley himself.

The Admiralty have placed the Black Eagle yacht
at Portsmouth, at the disposal of Baron Brunnow, the Russian
Ambassador, who is at Ryde.— United Service Gazette.

leaves Montague House to-day for the Isle of Wight.
THE WHITE SLAVE; OR, THE RUSSIAN PEASANT
GIRL.—The author of " Revelations of Russia"—a work
which has been so universally read and admired—has
again adventured into the same almost boundless regions,
with a wit as playful and brilliant, a descriptive power
as versatile and graphic, an insight into character as
searching, and a fund of information as varied and as
fertile, as have been already displayed by him, to the
great delight and edification of the reading public. The
present work, " The White Slave," takes the popular
and attractive form of a three volume novel. The story
is ingeniously worked out, and the interest so well sus-
tained, that a reader would almost wish, if possible, to
finish the work at a sitting. The melancholy condition
of the white slave of Russia, was never drawn in truer
or more affecting colours. The misery, the degrada-
tion, the cruelties to which that helpless race are ex-
posed, as well as the fatalism which preys upon their
minds, are all delineated with a power and vividness of
description that fully entitles the author to take a high
place amongst the most dig nguished writers of the day.

THE FATAL AFFRAY AT BALLINHASSIG.
TIIE INQUEST. _ .

The Cork Examiner of Friday contains the following additional
particulars respecting this lamentable occurrence, and also the pro.
ceedings of the first day of the inquest :
"On Thursday, pursuant to arrangement, the inquest on the
bodies of the unfortunate peasantry, seven in number, who fell be-
neath the fire of an armed body of constabulary on the previous
Monday evening, took place. In consequence of the number of
summonses issued by the coroner, Mr. F. Baldwin, the number of
jurors was exceedingly large and respectable, consisting entirely of
the gentry of the county for many miles round. The attendance
of magistrates was also large.
" The inquest was held in a loft in the mill.house of Mr.
Keller, Ballinhassig, close to the spot where the massacre took
place. The building was surrounded by crowds of peasantry during
the entire day.

•` After some preliminary arrangements, the coroner, jurors,
and medical gentlemen withdrew to view the several bodies; and,
though it was the: only 11 o'clock, they did not return before 6
o'clock in the evening.

" It had been previously arranged that the jury were to see the
nearest body first, and so on, until the whole seven had been
examined, in order that an opportunity might be thus afforded to
the relatives and friends of the deceased to inter them as soon as
possible. The first hovel before which the cavalcade halted was
that of the brother of Julia Callaghan, whose maiden
name was Holland. This was about two miles from the
scene of slaughter, at a place called Ballingromoola. As we ap-
proached this miserable habitation the sounds of wild lamentation
were heard issuing from the low door, the only aperture, except
the chimney, by which air and light were admitted within the
dreary walls. A group of men surrounded the door, and in the
midst of them we perceived the young husband of the dead woman ;
and I shall not soon forget the desolate crushed-down look of the
poor fellow, who did not utter a word, but now and then gave vent
to his grief in a half-sigh, half groan, that would move the hardest
heart.

" The jury then proceeded, over a rugged road, to Adamstown,
where, in a filthy hovel, not twelve feet square, sunk in a lag, and
surrounded by fetid stagnant pools of slime, lay the body of John
Desmond. To say that the remains of this unhappy victim pre-
sented the most awfully hideous and revolting appearance that could
be seen by mortal eye, is only to give a faint notion of the reality.
It is horrible to think that this hovel was filled during the previous
night and during that day by crowds of country people, who must
have inhaled, for several hours, an atmosphere literally poisonous
—worse than that of the worst charnel.house. We shall not dare to
venture on a description ; suffice it to say, that it was like a lifting
up of the awful veil hiding the mysteries of the grave.
"After viewing the other bodies, the coroner and jury returned
to Ballinhassig at six o'clock, after a long, melancholy, and pain.
fist journey of some sixteen or eighteen miles, and of seven hours'
duration.

" BALLINHASSIG, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK.—The Court sat this
day at ten o'clock. The magistrates present were—Colonel Burke,
Captain Atkins, Lyttleton Leicester, Daniel Connor, J. Moloney,
Carew O'Grady,'J. Biggs, W. Meade, Captain Roberts, M. Roberts,
and R. Knaresborough. _

" The :coroner having called over the names of the jurors, and
they having answered, two of the medical gentlemen, Dr. M'Evcrs
and Dr. Wall, were examined; the testimony of the former was,
however, of little importance, he not being present at the conflict.
Dr. Wall's examination had not closed at post hour."

The Cork Constitution gives a very different account of the
affray from that furnished by the other papers which we have seen.
It is to the following effect :

" The party at the fair consisted of three constables, two acting
constables, and thirteen sub-constables, who had been marched in
from different stations, and who were under the command of Mr.
J. Kelly, first-class sub-inspector of Kinsale, who has been but two
months in the district. He was previously stationed in Wexford,
and has been in the force for ten years. The business of the fair
proceeded as usual up to four o'clock, when symptoms of hostile
significance began to be exhibited amongst the country people.
There continued, however, a temporary quietness, and Mr. Kelly
was enabled to induce the tentowners to level their tents before
half.past seven o'clock. The magistrates who attended the fair.
Mr. William R. Meade, Ballymartle, Mr. John Molony, Ballinaboy,
and Mr. John T. Biggs, Garryhankerdmore, then retired to
Mr. Molony's residence, at about a quarter of a mile distant,
to dinner. They were, however, but a short time gone, when
the leader of one faction, a man named Sullivan, who is better
known by the cognomen of Ranter,' threw up his hat in the green,
and, whirling his stick, gave the faction whoop, when his friends
and adherents immediately gathered about him tumultuously.
The police, however, interfered, and the men of the
opposite party, the Neills,' retired from the green.
Ranter and his party then left the green and took a different road
from the Neills. In a few minutes the latter returned to the
green to the number of about 200, and a large body of people
mounted the ditches around the cross in expectation of a fray. In
a moment after Ranter appeared on horseback and rode furiously
down the hill, followed by above 300 men. When he got to the
middle of the cross he pulled up, and, addressing his own party in
Irish, broke a new hat which he wore upon his horse's head. This
was the signal for attack; a yell followed from those on the cross,
which was answered by another from their opponents on the
green. Hearing this yell of defiance, Ranter leaped from his
horse, and rushed at the entrance to the green, which was a nar-
row gap. These he was met by the leader of the Neills, a man
named Walsh. He grappled him, and when dragging him into
the green constables Pigott and Hannan dashed through the mob,
and laid hold of Ranter, who had his coat off at the time. He
struggled for his release, and called upon his faction to rescue him,
but the other policemen having come up at the moment, he was
lodged in the dispensary. The crowd then surrounded the house,
yelling in a hideous manner, and demanding the release of Sullivan,
which was of course refused by Mr. Kelly, who told them that it
was his duty to convey him before a magistrate. He implored the
people to he quiet. There was then a cry of buoileidh, which
means Strike them.' The attack commenced, and stones were
thrown. The police then got the order to fix bayonets. Teey did
so, but stones fell upon them so fast that they were forced to re-
treat into the house. When inside, Ranter told them that if they
did not release him every one of them would be killed. To this
Mr. Kelly replied, that he must do his duty, and that was to keep
his prisoner. The windows were now dashed in, and the order was
given to prime and load. This was quickly obeyed, but while the
police were in the act of doing so an attempt was made to force the
door, with a cry of ' Drag them out.' The police attempted to
keep the door closed, but it was forced, and one fellow—a very
able man—caught the top of it and tried to drag it into the road, so
as to expose the inmates to the fury of the mob ; but one of the
constables drove his bayonet into the desperado's breast, and he fell
back. Three others of the crowd then seized the door and dragged
it into the road. The doorway was now defended by constables Pi-
gott and Hannan and acting constable Dawson, while the number of
stones thrown increased every moment. A cry was raised amongst
the mob, and they were exhorted to tear down the house and
kill the police. A body of the people then rushed to the back of
the house, and with tent sticks began to strip off the roof. The
police now perceiving that their lives were in imminent danger,
called upon Mr. Kelly to permit them to defend themselves ; but
he ansvtercd by saying No firing,' and came to the door to implore
the people to desist, but before lie had uttered many words he re-
ceived a blow of a large stone on the right side of his face, which
drove him back. The roof was now opened, and large stones were
thrown into the house, and the police again called upon Mr. Kelly
to give them the order to fire, and he then said, Fire, but fire
steadily.' Instantly a fellow rushed at the door and threw a large
stick at constable Pigott, which struck him on the head ; but the
stick had no sooner left his hand than he was shot from the
window on the sight ; and, reeling for a short distance, he tell.
The mob now became more violent, and dashed forward, yelling
hideously, and as they closed in at either side the ringleaders
were shot. The police saw that retreat was their only safety, the
stones fell so quickly upon them through the aperture in the
roof, and even Ranter's courage left him, for he ran to the
windows and implored of his friends' not to murder them, and,
while doing so, received several wounds from the stones.
The police then determined on retreating, and acting-constable
Dawson led; but no sooner had he left the threshold than he re.
ceived the blow of a atone on the mouth, which split his upper and
lower lips, and knocked out two of his front teeth. He fell, and
his carbine was wrested from him by a fellow, who struck Dawson
with it on the head while he lay ; but this man paid dearly for his
barbarity, for a shot from the window at the same moment
stretched him alongside his victim. Dawson again got up, and
being separated from his comrades by the crowd which surrounded
him, and which had prevented them from leaving the house, stag-
gered along the road in the direction of Mr. Keller's house. He
was overtaken, and beaten into the ditch. Dr. Stewart J. Tresi-
lian at that moment came up and cried out,' Run, run, here come
the Dragoons,' which caused the fellows to fey from their victim.
Dawson then got up, and staggered to the house of a Mrs.
Oakes, but her son drove him off, and he reeled to the house
of a man named Barratt, but the door was shut against him.
He stood there for a moment, but, seeing his assailants return-
ing, he got to the other side of the road and went into the
house of a man named Lacy. Lacy closed the door and pushed
Dawson into a pigsty at the other end of the house and concealed
the aperture. The mob, coming to the door, demanded to have It
opened ; but, there being a moment's delay, they drove it in, and
searched for Dawson. During the search, Dawson contrived to
force himself through a small hole from the pigsty into Mr.
Seller's meadow, and crawled through the high grass up to the
house, where he was secreted by Mr. Keller's man In a loft. The
snob, finding that Dawson had escaped, wreaked their vengeance
upon Lacy, by breaking his windows and-door, and bating a woman
with stones until they left her apparently lifeless. But to return to
the scene at the dispensary. At the moment Dawsen was sepa-
rated from his party, constables Pigott and Hannan followed to try
to protect him, but were obliged to retrace their steps, and imme-
diately after the entire body were compelled to leave the house, it
was so dilapidated, and stones were poured into it with such mur-
derous determination. The police then left the house, and, forming
iii a body, charged up the hill, in the hope of gaining the police.
station, which waseabout a mile off. In the confusion attending
this movement, the prisoner Sullivan esca?ed. In the course of
their retreat they were met at all points by dense masses of people,
yelling and throwing stones, but were fortunate enough to gain the
top of the hill alive, though very much bruised. Having got into the
station.house, they made preparations to defend themselves against
any renewed attack, and were shortly after joined by the magis.
trates. Mr. Meade, fearing an assault upon the station-house,
sent off a special messenger to Cork for a reinforcement. Within
two hours from the time the messenger wasudnidspeartcthheed,
careif
police had aril ved from the city, ip jingles
Sub.lnspectors Walker and Green, and head-constables Condon
and Moylan, accompanied by Dr. Harris, physician to the con.
stabulary. The affray having subsided, Dr. Tresilian paid every
attention to the wounded, in which he was occupied during the
night, assisted by Dr. Harris and Dr. M'Evers. The firing of the
police was remarkably accurate, there being thirty-four shots dis-
charged, every one of which must have taken effect. Thirty-
two shots were fired while they defended themselves in the house,
and two during the retreat. Each policeman had twenty rounds
of ball-cartridge, yet no man fired more than four shots—in
fact, the time during which the quick firing continued would not
permit of his doing more. It is up to the present moment im.
possible to know accurately the number killed or wounded, as
they have been removed to their abodes for miles round the
country."

ORANGE PROCESSIONS.
DUDE;, JULY s.—The Earl of Roden has published the fol-
lowing address :

July 3, 1845.

" Brother Protestants —The Ist of July is past. The monster
meeting which the Repeaters threatened to hold on that memorable
anniversary on the banks of the Boyne has not taken place. Hap.
pily, for the peace of Ulster, we have been saved from that insult.
I hear that the Repeaters are now endeavouring to induce our
brethren to celebrate the 12th by processions with banners and
flags. It cannot be for our advantage that such advice from them
should be followed, much as you value the events commemorated
on that day, much as they should be honoured and regarded by
every loyal subject in the land, I would not gratify these wishes,
expressed by the Repeaters of Down, Armagh, and Tyrone. I
should rather that you quietly met in your respective neighbour-
hoods, determined to maintain true Protestant principles among
yourselves and your children—rejecting atike the insidiaus snares
of a false Protestanism within the Church, and the errors of Ro.
manism, from which we have been happily delivered, under God,
through the means of that Prince of glorious and immortal memory,
King Wil iam the Third.
" I could not let this opportunity pass without tendering you
my opinion as to your proceedings on the approaching 12th. You
already know I can have but one object in doing so, which is
your welfare, and consequently the prosperity and happiness of all
denominations of our fellow.subjects in Ulster. I have the honour
to be, brother Protestants, your faithful friend. _
