from Cochin China, having been at Thourane, with
Commodore La Pierre. in his most Christian Majesty's
_lv La Gloire, of 52 guns, to demand redress for im-
prisoning the French bishop (who had been sent to Singa-
pore by the Cochin-Chinese) and probably also to make a
treaty. They were received apparently in a friendly man-
ner, but information was given of some treachery, and of
their hostile intentions, which was confirmed by the
seizure of some papers, and great preparations in the
forts, and five large Cochin-Chinese men-of-war being in
,as, with a multitude of armed boats, which put the

Admiral La Pierre on his guard. Insult was soon offered,
and they were ordered to depart ; the French Commodore,
'n self-defence, was compelled to attack them, and after
in hour and a-half's hard lighting, two-men-or-war were

ORANGE FUNERAL.—The funeral of Mr. John Millar,
District Master of Benburb, County Tyrone, took place
on Friday, the 11th June. Eighteen lodges attended, out
of which there were six belonging to the Killylea district,
who are ever ready to pay a tribute to the memory of a
deceased brother. The deceased had been District Master
for a long period of time, and was always a steady advo-
cate for the Orange cause. He is greatly lamented by the
district over which he presided, as the members had always
found in him a warm friend in the day of tribulation. He
was interred in Benburb church-yard after the usual
er front before the factories I ceremony on such occasions.

FEMALE HEROISM.—Last week, a house in Ennis, be-
ing attacked by an armed party, a servant barred the door
in front of them amidst a shower of bullets. The woman
then defended the door with a crow-bar, but was at last
overpowered ; the door was burst in, and she was, struck
senseless by a blow from a gun. It happened that her
mother and a child were at one of the windows, keeping
the shutter closed, when she saw one of the villains ap-
proach the window. She ran down, and fortunately dashed
the mother and child to the ground together, when the
contents of a blunderbuss were discharged through the
lower part of the window, and lodged in the opposite side
of the shutters ; there were 13 slugs so lodged.
REPEAL ASSOCIATION.—The usual meeting of the
Repeal Association took place on Monday at Conciliation-
hall. The chair was taken by Mr. Kelly, a member of

,

reading was carried by a majority of 90 to 30.

OPENING OF THE-TRENT VALLEY RAILWAY.—The
Trent Valley Railway was opened on Saturday, with great
ceremony. At Tamworth the trains were received by a
large concourse of people and bands of music. A com-
modious tent was beautifully fitted up for the reception of

collation, to which 1500 persons sat down. Mr. Tootal,
chairman of the company presided, and among those pre-
sent were Lord Sandon, Lord Ingestre, Lord Anson, Sir

accidentally fell to the ground, and received severe inju-
ries by some of the carriages passing over his legs. He
was removed to the county Hospital at York, where he
expired the same evening.
SAVING OF TIME BY TFIE TRENT VALLEY LINE.—The
saving of time to be effected as between London, Liver-
verpool, and Manchester, by the opening of the Trent
Valley line, will be nearly as follows:—The present 6h.
15m. morning down train arrives in Liverpool at 3h. 15m.
and allows the commercial traveller who desires to return
to the metropolis the same day, 1 hour and 15 minutes in
which to transact his business. The Trent Valley line
will enable him to arrive upwards of an hour sooner in
Liverpool, and leave nearly an hour later; so that, in fact,
he will have, for the performance of his duties three hours,
when he now has but an hour and a quarter. The 6h. 15m.
morning train to Manchester arrives at 2h. 40m., and, as
the express train leaves that town at 4h. 55m., the travel-
ler who requires to return on the same day can then-P
