Taf bad before alluded. He, in company with fes
Magistrates, bad addressed s large assembly of Or
men who were about m proceed in procassioo.on tsll
12th of July, far the purpose of persuading them to rr
linquish their intention. One of their number, a mod
respectable man, entered into conversation with she*
contended that the procession was not illegal either by
the common or statute law, and fraukly offered to afftwd
them every facility for trying the question. This win
done. A. subscription was entered into by the Magi‘'
traces for the, purpose. He himself appeared at the AN
sizes as a witness, and the Learned Judge Jebb, tam
*tried the cause, after complimenting him on the dem►
ness of his evidence, tut ned round immediately to the'
Jury, and told them that it was not an illegal processio4
ander the Act. It was now confidently believed in tit 4
county of Derry, under the authority of the Judger`
that tense processions were not illegal. It was not the
dicta of any indisidual which could now remove that
opinion. He was rejoiced, however, to hear the opinion
of his Right Hon. and Learned Friend, and he bars,
he would put that opinion to the test, by bringing to
'trial some of these men.
Mr. H. GRATTAN said that the law was useleMi

to give a partial judgment. He wished for the suppler

dious attempt to suppress one, whets another equally,
illegal and a great deal mote mischievous was sanctioned
and upheld.
Mr. HUME obaervedt that he saw no reason to
retract anything he had stated. Allusion had just been
made to the Catholic Association—he could only say,
that if he were a Member of that Association, he would
never rest till his rights were conceded to him.

It is reported spin this morning with additional
confidence that Mr. Cannon has been honoured with
his Kaisers's commands to fora a new Administra-
tion; and, though there are as many versions of the
principles upon which it is to be constituted, as well of
the persons of which it is to be composed, as dune am
partialities to gratify, we believe the only part of the
rumour, as yet eptitied to credit, is that, which gives to
Mr. Caalszio the chief share in iris **motion, as well
as the first place when once it is 'formed. Whether
he is to retain his present situation, oe exchange it for
the duties of First Lord of the Treasury, with those of
Chancello'r of the Exchequer combined, will depend
of course upon himself alone; though, in either ease,
the Premiership would devolve upon him in name as
well as is reality. We believe there is more than one
example in our history where the individual holding,
the office of Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs was
head of the Cabinet; and no collision of personal pre-
tensions, or detriment to the public interests, that we
can at least see, could arise were it to be followed in

the present instance. But as it is always safer, as
well as More convenient, to follow than to deviate From

established custom, it would probably be the better
course to unite the Premiership with the office; to which,
in the far greater number of cases, it has been hitherto
attached. As to the incongruity of financial ealcula.
tions with the genius of Mr.CANYING, and its better
adaptation to the duties of his present office, if this
be the only objection to his presiding over the Treasury,
we only say that it does not weigh a feather in the scale.
They who set it up as a decided obstacle, either
know very little of the abilities of the Right Honour.
able Gentleman, or attach an importance to
financial details which they by no means merit.—
Mr. CANNING has not only a brilliant wit, the only
intellectual quality for which they will give him
credit, but he unites with it a powerful. versatile,
and ready mind, with habits of application and in-
Jinny equal to the most plodding understanding.—
Besides, it is not a mere financier, that is wanted, but a
master-mind, capable of giving a steady, uniform move-
ment, to the great and complicated machine of Govern-
ment. It will be seen by our City article, that the most
conflicting rumours prevail in the City on the subject;
whilst their discordance is a good criterion of the degree
of credit to which they ate entitled. At one time it was
reported that MI. Canassu had thrown up his commis-
sion of making the arrangements for a new Cabinet ;end,
when this rumour had answered the intended purpose,
another was got up, that the Loan Csance.LLoa, Mr.
Na., and some one else bad given in their resignation
It is unnecessary, we hope‘ to, adds that ntither of them
is worthy of the least credit.
