FROM THE IRISH PAPERS.

DUBLIN, Oct. 1.
PROORILSS OF MR. LAWLESS.

The following is the account of this Gentleman's in-
tended visit to Armagh, by a correspondent in the Evers•
ing Mail. It shows the state of preparation in which
the Protestants are, and the facility with which vast
multitudes of them may be brought together ,armed—
,. Assume, Tuesday, Sept. 30.
el Mr. Lawless basting announced his determination
to enter the city of Armagh this day, at the bead of
some thousands of his priest-ridden follower!, and (as
he called his entry into Colon) take possession of the
town, every corner of this Protestant county was, on the
evening preceding, filled with alarm, and every man
• capable of bearing arms, who got notice, prepared
himself to stop the march of this lawless envoy of the
'Catholic Association. In the morning, about ten o'clock,
large bodies of well-armed Protestants commenced
'marching into the town, and by eleven o'clock more
than thirty, Ahousand persons were assembled. Nothing
could exceed their enthusiasm, their ardour, and deter-
mination not to allow their country to be insulted and
disgraced by the march of the agent of thdse miscreants
'who have now placed themselves at the head of the
Roman Catholics of Ireland. Meantime, the peaceable
and well-affected Roman Catholics of the neighbour-
' hood, seeing the inevitable consequences of Mr. Law-
‘less's proceedings if allowed.to go on, called a meeting,
and sent a deputation to Mr. Lawless to stop him, which
bad the desired effect, for he immediately wheeled about,
and counter-marched, Guts knows where, as no person

here has yet been able to discover his hiding-place.
41 At twelve o'clock the assembled multitude formed
in line on College-hill; and ciu General Thornton, the
Officer commanding the district, making his appear-
ance, they presented arms to him in gond style, with
colours flying and drums beating. He was followed
by Mr. Kelly, the Sovereign (1 the city, Joseph Atkin•
son, Esq. of Crow4ill, and several other magistrates,
who addressed thi multitude ; and it being proposed
that the assembled crowd should have time fur refresh•
mew, the Magistrates desired to see them again at two
o'clock.

"In the interval, a meeting of the Magistrates was
14,1 d, and resolutions entered into which have not yet
been published; but we understand they are of a nature
that will prevent the peace ci this country from being
stain disturbed by the agitators. At two o'clock the
people again assembleo, and marched to the Obser-
vatory, where the Rev. Romney .Robinson addressed
them in a speech of considerable length; after which,
they all went tiff to their respective homes. The most
pet fect good order prevailed during the whole of the
• day, and not the slightest accident or disturbance of any
' kind occurred."

The following are from the tame Journal :
. "At a Meeting of the Magistrates of the Counties of
Down and Armagh, I.eld at the King's Arms, Newry,
• on Monday, the 29th of September, 1828, Earl Gosfnrd
in the Chair, it was unanimously resolved, 4 that having
• received information, on oath, that the expected visit of
Mr. John Lawless to this town and neighbouring dis-
trict would lead to the most serious disturbance of the

public peace, and endanger the lives of his Majesty's
subjects, we, the undersigned Magistrates of the count es
of Down and Armagh, now present, do hereby caution
all persons to forbear from such tumultuous assemblages
as lately took place in a neighbouring county; as we

IMPORTANT MEETING AT TANDERAGEL
FROM THE DUBLIN EVENING MAIL.

It has never before fallen to our lot to be present at a
meeting so grand and imposing as that which we wit-
nessed on Friday, the 26th inst. at Tauderagee, in the
county Armagh, for the purpose of forming 1 Bruns.
wick Constitutional Club for that town and neighbour-
hood. The morning was ushered in with appropriate
and menial airs on drums and other Instruments; and
at an early hour crowds of well dresseJ Lamas, manu-
facturers, and active yeomen, began to pour in lion]
the surrounding country. The meeting was held in
the large square of the marketplace, in which an
elegant platform (about fifty feet square, and richly
carpeted) furnished with seats, &c. for reporters,
bad been erected expressly for the occasion. This
platform was placed near the Castle gate,
.command-
ing a perfect view of the whole town and coun-
try, as far as the eye could reach. A Rig waved
in the rear just over the Castle gate; and immediately
behind the cha r was a handsome painting of K!rg
William, headed with tire words—" Tanderagee. BfUllb•
wick Constitutional Club," and underneath No sur-
render 1" The windows of' the suljlinag houses were
thronged with elegantly dressed females, who evinced
their warm concurrence in the general feeling. At 12
o'clock, the Gentlemen of the " Boyne Society" walked
in procession from their rooms, and ascended the plat-
form. At this time the square was filled by a dense
multitude, whilst all the roads leading t.) it were
literally choked with the numbers who were pressing
forward, accompanied by bands of music, and many or
them decorated with orange and blue ribbons. The
sound of the music and the bustled the crowd retarded
the commencement of the proceedings, and for a con.
siderable time after the chair had been taken, the busi-
ness of the day was interrupted by the arrival of several
large bodies of people. Altogether it was calculated
that not less than lorry thousand Protestants were pre
sent. An assemblage so immense, added to the splendid
array of talent, and the wealth and respectability of the
Gentlemen. (amounting to upwards of two hundred)
who occupied the platform, gave a character, an im-
portance to this meeting, by far surpassing any of.a
similar kind that has been held, for many years, within
the province of Ulster.
Previous to the chair being taken, the band stationed
at the left of the platform played " Goo save the King"
—after which three hearty cheers, and "one cheer more,
were given fur" The King and COnstitution:

PALACE COURT. OcTOBER 3.

ASSAULT.-BOURNg V. SMITH.

This was an action to recover compensation for an
assault committed on the plaintiff's wife.
Mr. PHILLIPS stated the plaintiff's case. He lived in
Blue Anchor-lane. Deptford, and let the premises ad-
joining to a person named Lindsey, who underlet them
to the defendant, a market gardener, who paid the rent
to Lindsey. The assault complained of arose out of a
dispute about the right to throw weeds upon a dunghill
on the premises.
William Ford said, he was in the employ of the plain-
tiff, and heard the defendant desire the plaintiff to take
some weeds off the dunghill which he had thrown there,
which not being complied with, the defendant began
grossly to abuse the plaintiff's wile, and following tier
to a green-house, burst open the door, and striking her
several times, gave her a bloody nose and a black eye,
which remained for five weeks.

On the cross-examlnation of this witness by. Mr.
ADOLPHUS. it appeared that the plaintiff kept a sun of a
public tea garden, and that there was ill-will between
the parties on account of the alleged trespasses made by
the company upon the ground of the defendant.
Mr. isuoultus, for the defendant, said, that this
action arose out of a long course of litigation That had
been carried on by the plaintiff against the defendant,
to compel him to give up the premises of which he was
the lawful tenant, and that, on the day in question, the
defendant went to tender thirty sovereigns to the plain
tiff, in the name of Lindsey, as his rent, and that the
defendant's wile commenced the assault by knocking
the money ont of his hands, and throwing several gar-
den pots in his face.
Several witnesses were called,. who proved the scat-
tering the money about, and one of them said he saw
Mrs. Bourne with a black eye a few days before; but,
upon being closely pressed, he said it might perhaps be
from smut. Several indictments had been laid by the
parties against each other, and one was now pending
against the plaintiff for the assault.
Mr. PHILLIPS replied, and dwelt upon the spirit of
partisanship displayed by the defendant's witnesses, and
insisted that their story was wholly improbable.
Tne JUDOS was proceeding to sum up, but was inter-
rupted by the Foreman of the Jury declaring that they
had made up their minds to find for the plaintiff; on
which he informed them that the only question lett was
the amount of damages.
Verdict for plaintiff—Damages, Ten Pounds.

Tuesday night, the LORD CHANCSLLOIei carriage,
while waiting at the entrance of the English Opera-
house, in the Strand, was robbed of the following arti-
cle:, viz. a large fur cloak, and a child's ditto; a bundle

silk hanukerchief, all marked with his Lordship's name,
LYNDHUMIT," a Lady's riding bat, a basket, and a
Lady's bag, shawl pattern, containing a topaz brooch,
a pocket-book with papers in it, a tooth-pick, and a
purse with between one and two pounds.
Last week, as a Brighton van, aden with costly wines,
in bottles, the property of General St. John, was on its
way to Nesrick-place-hbuse, the vehicle, on passing

taining wine, said to be north upwards of 1001. were
broken, and the road for a time was literally flooded.
Mr. Altree, wine cooper, of Brighton, who was riding
on the van at the time of the accident, was severely
' cut, by falling among the broken glass. The driver
escaped withcut injury.—Meidsione Journal.
Yesterday an inquest was held at the White Hart, 0:d
