THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

While these operations were going on upon the right,
and the etiemy's left flank was thus driven baflk, I occa-
sionally observed the brigade under Brigadier Wheeler, an
officer in whom I have the greatest confidence, charging
and carrying guns and everything before it, again con-
necting his line and moving on in a manner which ably
displayed the coolness of the brigadier and the gallantry
of his irresistible brigade—Her Majesty's 50th Foot, the
48th Native Infantry, and the Sirmoor Battalion, although
the loss was, I regret to say, severe in the 50th. Upon
the left, Brigadier Wilson, with her Majesty's 53d and the

30th Native Infantry, equalled in celerity and regularity
their comrades on the right, and this brigade was opposed
to the " Aieen" troops, called Avitabile s, when the fight

was fiercely raging.
The enemy, well driven back on his left and centre, en-
deavoured to hold his right to cover the passage of the ri-
ver, and he strongly occupied the village of Bhoondee. I
directed a squadron of the 16th Lancers, under Major
Smith and Captain Pearson, to charge a body to the right
of the village, which they did in the most gallant and de-
termined style, bearing everything before them, as a squa-
dron, under Captain Bere, had previously done, going
right through a square of Infantry, wheeling about and
re entering the square in the most intrepid manner with
the deadly lance. This charge was accompanied by the 3d
Light Cavalry, under Major Angelo, and as gallantly sus-
tained. The largest gun upon the field and seven others
were then captured, while the 53d Regiment carried the
village by the bayonet, and the 30th N. I. wheeled round
to the rear in a most spirited manner.
Lieutenant-Colonel Alexander's and Captain Turton's
troops of horse artillery, under Major Lawrenson, dashed
almost among the flying infantry, committing great ha-

A PalEsT's CURSE.-At the assizes at Carrickfergus,
C. M`Laughlin, a corn-miller in the Glens of Antrim,
brought an action against the ,Rev. Mr. Walsh, the Ro-
man Catholic:priest of his parish, for " defamation, slan-
der, and injury in the social relations," suffered by the
'plaintiff in consequence of having been excommunicated
by the defendant. With respect to the act of excommu-
nication, one of the witnesses deposed—" After the mass
bad been celebrated, he heard defendant say that there
were different ways of excommunication. He took a let-
ter out of his pocket, which he said he got from the bishop,
and said he had let things go on longer than be had au-
thority to do, hcping that the delinquents would come
forward and make satisfaction : but he would suffer them
no longer; he said he would excommunicate plaintiff,
Charles Sheals, WlCay, and M. Butler. Some person
entreated him not to excommunicate Butler until next
Sabbath day. Named the others, and said, ' I give my
curse, and God's curse, on all who salute them on the
road, or eat at the same table, or work in the same field
with them.' Defendant then turned and blew but the
candles, rung a bell, and closed a book which was lying
open on the altar. The congregation shortly afterwards
broke up." Others said—" The people did not hold so
much intercourse with the plaintiff since that time

mill was always working before that time. Since the ex-
communication the mill has not been working." The
jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages. £70..

COUNTY FERMANAGH GRAND ORANGE LODGE.—This
loyal and very respectable lodge will hold its half-yearly
meeting on the 9th of April next. The County Grand
Master, Earl Enniskillen, will preside. Through the un-
tiring exertions of Wm. A. Dane, Esq., the worthy Grand
Secretary, and Samuel Yates Johnstone, Esq., the efficient
Grand Treasurer, the Orange Institution, since the re-

organization of its rules and regulations, by Counsellor
Napier, is now on a more firm footing than it ever has
been heretofore in Fermanagh. Keeping within the strict
letter of the law, the Orangemen are determined still to

abide by their time-honoured appellation, and never to
swerve from supporting those principles which are dear to
every loyal heart. We understand the wl
