Asuman, Tuasnar investigation took place this day
In the Court-house, when King William was fully identified as
having fired a pistol, the ball from which grazed the breast of a
young man, who narrowly escaped death. Mr. Gerald Tyrrell
was fully committed to take his trial at the, ensuing assizes.
Evening, 9 ~'clock. An express has just arrived frosts the neigh-
bourbood of Coal Island, and a company of soldiers marched off
immediately. Report goes to say ten have been killed, and up-
wards of thirty persons wounded.
Eusurizistse, JULY 14.—The usual note of preparation by the
beating cat drums, playing of fifes to the tune of " Crappies tie dams."
—" Allot Water' ushered in the day of the 12th. Arches erected
across the streets covered with purple and orange ribands, and
bearing the words of " Protestants remember the Boyne,"—" Tee
have been betrayed, but will not surrender ;" over the pathways
an equestrian statue of King William was raised on high, under
which the Catholics were compelled to pass, and in many instances
to take off their bats. Not content with this species of insult, the
Orangemen have broken the windows of almost every Catholic house
in Brook-street' Beggar-street, &c. and occasionally discharged a
musket or pistol across the face of every papist who was in the way.
The previous Friday was the monthly fait, when for a wonder our
noble Governor assembled the police, and in some measure preserved
tke peace; but, notwithstanding,m ity skirmishes took place between
different parties on their way home. lam sorry to say the Ca-
tholics, despairing of an equal di *button of justice and protection
being extended to them by our local authorities, and imagining,
that the Government are going to leave them to protect tbent-
selves, are beginning to take the law into their own hands.—
The Orangemen of Swadlinbar had a triumphal arch erected across
the street of that town on Sunday last, but they would not permit
a Papist to pollute the ground by passing under it a. they came
from maw. Iniormation of this having here given to Mr. Joyce,
be repaired to the spot with the police under his command, and
cut down the arch amidst the shouts of a grateful people. Both
parties then retired apparently sati.fied, hut the Orangemen sent
notice to their friends in Lisbellane arid Nlaguire's-bridge, to
repair to their lia•lataaCC ' • the Catholics having heard of this, were
not idle on their parts, and (as you anticipated) a portion of them
were well provided with wins and ammunition, but through the
influence of some respecttble persons they were prevailed on to go
home, but on their way the Orangemen, who bad assembled on the
neighbouring hills, called upon theist for " cowardly Papist scouts.
drels" to return and meet them. The Catholics did so : the meeting
was truly terrific, as the leaders on one side were armed with mus-
kets and fixed bayonets; and the others principally with sithes,
pitchforks, spades, &c. One Orangeman was almost instantly
killed, seven were dangerously wounded, and the slaughter of the
Catholics has been as great. The Catholics have almost to a man
abandoned their homes, leaving their wives and fatuities to the
mercy of the " Hell or Connaught men." An express arrived in
Enniskillen about twelve o'clock on Monday night, whet' the
general was beat, and the Colonel with four companies of the 37t1
turned out instantly.
JULY 15.-1 hate just learned that three more of the Orangemen
are dead. The military are out to day again, as reports have come
its that thousands of the peasantry ate encamped tun the mountains
at Hannaclen and (Muse. Few of our townspeople bate gone to
rest fur the last few nights • they are always 111 their clothes, and
watching each other's movements ; such is our present state, and
Goo only knows where it will end.

CAIMILDEIO, JULY 13.—A rendezvous of Orangemen took place
here yesterday, but had it not been for the great forbearance of the
Catholics, the consequences would have been dreadful. The persons
who took the most prominent part in the proceedings were the Bar-
runscourt and Clare yeomanry corps; one detachment of the Mimet
went to Strabane, where blood has be. n shed. Sir It.. Ferguson,
magistrate, stopped here for a short time this morning, but although
be saw an Orange arch erecting, be did not interfere. Party spirit
rages here with the utmost violence; the Orangemen threaten us
' with another procession the 11th of August, but if the Glivernment
do not interfere before that time, the peasantry a►e &catmints! to
Make au Jon to protect themselves, and the consequences may be
dreadful.

COOTIWILie JULY 14.—Yesterday we witnessed one of the most
violent displays of Orangeism that ever took pLice in Cootekill.
Party feeling was never so violent in this part of the country as it
has been since the eve of Peter and Paul. The town was all terror
and dismay. The Orangemen paraded with arms in their hands,
calling ou the Papist. to show their faces.
Cuts Jl,Lecvnts.—The writ for Pare issued yesterday. and
went down directed to the Sheriff of the county last night. Within
a little funnight, then, the " fitful fever" of L'run•wickism must be
over in this quarter.—Disklin Morning Resister of 7'kuradity.

Accounts from Murcia, of the 2d July, inform us that
shocks of earthquake still continue in that province : one took
place on the 28th and 29th June, and demolished two houses.
The Zoological Society's new allotment of land on the
outside of the Regent's Park amounts to no less than seven ad-
ditional acres, which they have acquired upon terms which are
considered extremely favourable.
Among the Druses, a set of Christians in Syria, the
women wear a born projecting from their foreheads called ranteers,
twenty inches long, tinselled over with gold or silver leaf. A young
married woman, near Deir-el-Raminan, wore one of solid silver.
On being asked to sell another in her possession of solid brass, she
declared that she would sooner sell hes bead than her born. hi, is
undoubtedly a very ancient custom, and illustrates the scriptural
expression in the rsalnts--" Thine horn haat thou exalted."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

v nrool., JULY 18.—Fair bitsine.sa has been done
in cotton this week by the trade. but as American de-
scriptions are offering more freely, last week's pices Are
barely supported, especially in the inferior qualities, w Lie')
are id per lb. hewer, and at this decline some sales have
i,een made in Nlaranham and Egyptiau. 300 Upland,
600 Egyptian, and GOO Brazil, are taken for exportation ;
•ind 2,000 Sea Island, 300 Demerara, and 300 13eiera!,
are advertised for public sale on the 24th
A public meeting of the inhabitants of Paisley, which
was both numerously and respectably attended, was held
in the Thread-street Relief Aleeting-house, on Monday
afternoon, to take into cowideration the propriety of
forming an association, and thereby ruining a penny per
week from each member, to fermi a fund for giving a
bounty to any nianufactur, r or merchant who would ex-
port goods, and import grain in return. After much
speaking it was put to the meeting whether the proposed
saiociation should be entered into or not, when it was
c nearly unanimously, that the measure was inex-
Fidient. It was then put to the meeting whether those
present considered taxation as the only cause of their
sufferings or not, when it was carried unanimously, and
with acclamation, that taxation was the only cause.
We find in some of the papers a tone of despondency
adopted, with regard to the approaching corn harvest,
which we cannot reconcile either with the prospects pre-
sented by the wheat fields or with the price of grain in
the markets. It is true that the stocks in the farmers'
hands are low, as they have been for many years at this
season, and that the harvest is likely to be a week or two
later than usual ; but still we must insist that in York-
shire and in Lincolnshire, and we believe in all the other
great corn counties, the prospect, as far as the corn and
potatoe crops are concerned, is cheering; aiid if the
weather should prove favourable for gathering them
(which GOD grant), the coming season will be a year of
plenty. In that case, a large portiere of the money spent
this year in the purchase of foreign grain will be appli-
cable next year to purchase of the clothing ; and though
the price paid per bushel to the fanner will be less than
paid the last year, the amount of money received fur his
crops will be larger, and his own family will be supported
by a much less comparative drain upon his stack-yard.—
Leeds Mercury.
SWAN FUN ER.—Saturday the Gilmore, Capt. Geary,
chartered by Mr. Thomas Peel, the brother ty the Home
Secretary, proceeded down the Thames, on her way to
the Swan River. She left St. Katharine's Dock. on
Friday. All the necessary articles for bringing into cul-
tivation the land granted to Mr. Peel, had been placed on
board, with live stuck, &c. The Giluiore is a ship of
500 tons burthen. Mr. Peel, and his family will, it is
understood, join the vessel at Plymouth.
CHANNELS OF TRA DE...EN 6 LAND AND FKA NC E.
England possesses 30,000 miles of roads, nearly 4,000
miles of canals, and above 300 miles of railways ; whereas
the territory of France, which is more than twice as ex-
tensive, does not afford 45,000 milesof roads, 1,500 miles
I of canals, and 114 miles of railways, of which latter ';',l
are still in the course of completion.
ALLEGED FRAUDS ON THE REVENUE.—It has
been stated in the London Papers that a fraud in the
Revenue has been brought to light in unpicking the
cases of which the cargo of the Curie Brea Castle con.-
, sited, and that brickbats and other rubbish had been
foiled in seine packages that purported to contain glass
and other commodities, on which a heavy drawback is
allowed. We have made diligent inquiries at our Custom
house, and of the brokers, and have also seen nearly the
whole of the packages and their contents, and we find
that the cases and description exactly correspond with the
' manifest, and that their contents are strictly conformable
to the invoices furnished to the underwriters, and that the
, cargo, in the whole, is adapted, without collusion, to the
Indian market.—Huntpshire Te:eyreph.

As a proof of the unexampled, and, we will add, unfair
eagstness that exists in certain,qoarters, to throw peculiar obloquy
upon a certain individual, it is positively affirmed that gre4 efforts
are making in the City to procure signatures to a round robin, de-
claratory of a want of confidence in the existing order of things, so
long as the individual in The
continues to hold an efficient office
in the Administration The probability is, that this attempt will
prove abortive; but the simple circumstance of its baying entered
into the beads of the Wise Men of the East is too remarkable to
be passed withont notice.—Merning Ciavaick.

CORN—EXCHANGE, MARK—LANE. Jim. 20.
Our market was not deficient of supplies of every kind, but
having many country buyers this morning, and the weather being
Father unsettled, higher prices were demanded, and the few sales
effected were certainly at an advance of 2s. per quarter on the
prices of this day week ; a great deal will depend on the state of the
weather. for if the day continues favourable to the close of the
market. the advance must give way. Barley is nominal in price,
having none at market. Beans and Peas of both kinds were lively
bale, and a shade dearer. Oats were rather dull sale. the arrival
being very large. In other articles there is no alteration.
