HOUSE OF LORDS-FRIDAY

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE inquired what course
government intended to pursue with regard to Mr. Wat-
son, the magistrate who lately took so prominent a part
in the re-organization of Orangeism in Ireland ? They
had dismissed, very unceremoniously, those magistrates
who had attended repeal meetings; but it was not so with
Orange magistrates. _ _

Lord STANLEY replied that government had ordered
an inquiry with respect to Mr. Watson.
Lord BEAUMONT, in moving for papers, entered into
an account of the present state of Syria, blaming the go-
vernment for submitting to the exclusive pretensions of
France to the protection of the Maronites against the
D roses.

Thel Earl of ABERDEEN, attributed the disturbances
mainly to the apathy of the Turkish Government, and,
after briefly replying to the reflections cast upon him by
Lord Beaumont, agreed to the motion,
Lord STANLEY, in moving the second reading of the
Australian Waste Lands' Bill, stated the nature of its
provisions, which were intended to alter the system hith-
erto pursued so as to adapt it to the different circumstances
of the Australian colonies.

The Foreig❑ Lotteries' Advertising Bill was then read
a third time and passed, Lord STANLEY pledging the en-
forcement of the measure should it be violated ; the Con-
stables' Bill was read a third time and passed ; and, after
a slight opposition from the Earl of Radnor and defence
by Lord Stanley, the Field Gardens' Bill was read a second
time.

and appeared to take great interest in the scene before her,
and in the trial of sailing between the line-of-battle ships.
After passing the Nab Light her Majesty took the lead of
the fleet. When off Dunmore, the signal was made for
the fleet to form in two lines, the Admiral leading. Her
Majesty and Prince Albert, with their royal guests, then
returned from sea and proceeded to Osborne House.
The Queen Dowager returned to Ryde shortly after five.
The experimental squadron proceeded on their course
down the Channel.

THE TWELFTH OF JULY IN IRELAND.

Orangeism is revived in all its power in Ireland. It is
well said by the Dublin Mail, of Monday night, from whose
columns we condense the following particulars, " May-
nooth we thank you for that." " Sir Robert Peel we thank
you for this." The Oran semen have had their processions
through the whole provinces of Protestant Ulster and
well and nobly have they justified the confidence reposed
in them by their letiders and friends, for with one ex-
ception, and that a necessary defence of life against an
unprovoked attack, the Roman Catholic party being not
only the aggressors, but the actual assailants, not a soli-
tary instance occurred of a breach of the peace, or a vio-
lation even of order. The correspondent of the Dublin
Freeman's Journal, of course an opponent of the Orange-
men, admits that the affray commenced by the " throwing
of stones" at the Orangemen.
The affair, to which we allude, occurred as follows, at
Armagh :—The Orangemen of the district left the town
at an early hour and returned about five in the afternoon,
when at the corner of Ogle-street it was evident that a
preconcerted plan of opposition was intended. When
about half the procession had passed the corner of that
street, a stone was threwn from the Roman Catholic
party, who had assembled in large numbers, at an Orange-
man on horseback, and immediately after a shot was fired
from the house of a man named Rocks, a Roman Catholic.
It is believed that this was the shot which struck Magee,
a protestant, and the first person wounded. Of course
such an attack led to retaliation, and several shots were
fired from both parties, the Orangemen turning round in
self-defence. The result was, that of the Roman Catholic
party four persons were wounded, viz.: Ann Maguire,
badly wounded in the groin ; Thomas Corr, in the breast,
slightly ; Eliza Henderson, in the ancle, slightly; John
Boyle, in the groin, severely. The latter died about an
hour after he was taken to the infirmary.
The Magistrates were soon assembled and the riot act
read, when the mob dispersed. Scarcely a window in
Ogle-street has a whole pane of glass. The attack on the
protestants must have been premeditated, as several of
the upper windows had the sashes taken out, to enable
the Inmates to throw large stones down as they passed.
Disappointed in this, by the procession turning down
Dobbin-street, the stones were flung at the mounted man
in the procession—this led the Orange party to return, and
thus the Roman Catholics were afforded an opportunity
of showering down those large stones, which were flying
so thick that the mounted policeman was obliged to
retreat.
The Orangemen of Portadown, Killyman, Newtown-
ards, Dungannon, and many other places also walked in
procession, but with the melancholy exception we have
mentioned, they were allowed to celebrate their anniver-
sary in peace.

On Thursday morning her Majesty and suite, accom-
panied by the King and Queen of the Belgians, embarked
on board the state barge on their return from Osborne
House to London. The royal party arrived at Vauxhall
before one o'clock. 1-invh-n.

He's Paddy from Cork, with coat buttoned behind,
And a hole in each elbow to let in the wind.
And some few in Ws breeches—his rents great and many,
And yet his wide pocket scarce boasts of a penny.
When the pence are collected they nll fly in whiskey,
And then the dear boy is most apt to get frisky ;
With shillelah and brickbats he's lively and gay,
And at hsrd knocks and thumps 'tis his pleasure to play.
As a bit of red rag sets a turkey-cock mad,
So a stripe of the Orange makes Paddy as bad !
And when Paddy is crazy take care of your skull,
You'd better encounter a wild bear and bull;
So attire ye in green in these rabid dog d
When mad dogs and mad Paddies beset the highways !

It is with pleasure we refer our readers to the advertisement of
Mr Jones, Church—street, in our paper of to-day. The length of
time he has been established, and the acknowledged increase of his
business are the best prods of the satisfaction he has given. His
stock of perfumery, and other articles in that line is very extensive
presenting a variety unsurpassed by any house in town.
It will be seen by our paper, of to-day, that Mr. J. F. Ashe has
opened the premises formerly occupied by Mr. Wilkinson, for the
purpose of supplying private, families with tie choicest wines and
spirits. The long experience Mr. A. has had in one of our first

we doubt not, ensure his success.

The portion of the Sheffield and Manchester railway,

A boy, named Regan, was killed on Tuesday last, when
driving one of the waggons on the Lancaster and Carlisle
railway.
KENDAL AND WINDERMERE RAILWAY.—On Wed-
nesday last the " first sod" of this line was cut by Mr.
Nicholson, one of the Directors.
A person named Hill, in the service of the Peninsular
navigation company, was killed on the Brighton railway,
on Tuesday. He attempted to get into one of the carriages
after the train was in motion.
The Ellesmere and Chester canal company (with which
company the Birmingham and Liverpool junction canal
company has recently been incorporated) have signified
their intention of applying to parliament, in the ensuing
session, fur power to convert the whole length of their
canals into railways.
A CONCLUSIVE REASON AGAINST A RAILWAY.--
In the House of Lords committee on the Oxford, Wor-
cester, and Wolverhampton railway, Lord Redesdale was
examined on Thursday last, on behalf of the parties
against the line. His lordship's reasons against it were,
that it would go through a fox-hunting country, and
would, in consequence, inconvenience sportsmen !
Two years ago, the fare for travelling on the Chester
and Birkenhead Railway, in first-class carriages, from this
city to Liverpool, was 3s. 6d. : for that sum, we can now
make a journey to Liverpool and return to Chester ; and
yet, notwithstanding this reduction of charges to one-half
the amount, the proceeds have increased to a very great
extent, and £5O shares, which in 1843 were not worth
more than £l6, can now be sold for £63.
RAILWAY BANK IN LIVERPOOL.—It was stated
pretty confidently, on 'Change and elsewhere, on
Saturday, that it is the immediate intention of the share-
brokers and other influential men of the town to form a
new bank here, to be called the Railway Bank of Liver-
pool. The name sufficiently indicates the interest upon
which, it started, it will mainly rely for business and
support.

REJECTION OF THE CORNWALL RAILWAY BILL.—
On Saturday last the chairman of the Committee of the
House of Commons on the above bill intimated, that the
committee were of opinion, that the construction of a
railway from Pion:moth to Falmouth, with a branch to
Bodmin, would be of great public advantage. But they
were also of opinion that, without a more accurate survey,
with the view to procure gradients of a more favourable
character, and to avoid, if possible, the crossing of the
Hamoaze, the bill should not now be further proceeded
with.

PROGRESS OF RAILWAY BlLLs.—The preambles of
the following bills have been proved in the Lords last
week :—Norwich and Brandon (Dias and Dereham
branches); Scottish Midland ; Liverpool and Bury ;
Wear Valley ; Newport and Pontypool ; Manchester and
Leeds; Bolton, Kenyon and Leigh and Liverpool and
Manchester amalgamations. In the Commons :—South-
Eas.ern (Minster and Deal and Walmer and Margate
branches); the London and Croyden, Ashford and Tun-
bridge, and Tunbridge and Maidstone, have been post-
poned until next session.
SUFFERING BEARS.—Three tradesmen at Halifax,,
have just suffered a loss by railway speculation to the
tune of .£1,500. They had sold 200 shares in the Wake-
field, Pontefract, and Goole Railway, at £l6 10s. each,
which they agreed to deliver on a certain day. It seemed,
however, that they did not possess what they sold, and,
to add to their difficulty, the shares got up until,
on the day of the required delivery, they were at £24.
The purchaser was rigorous, and would have either the
200 shares or the difference between the market price and
the price agreed upon. The trio accepted the disagree-
able alternative, and to add to their mortification, in a
day or two the market price fell to £l6 16s.
LAND, &C., TAKEN BY RAILWAYS.--The select com-
mittee of the House of Lords has reported on the com-
pensation for lands, &c., compulsorily taken for, nr
injured by, railways. Upon the question of severance and
damages, they say that it is impossible to establish any
fixed rate upon which the charge arising from severance
and other injury to property can be assessed and compen-
sated. With respect to land actually taken, the com-
mittee are of opinion that a very high per centage,
amounting to not less than 50 per cent. on the original
value, ought to be given in compensation for the compul-
sion only to which the seller is bound to submit, the
severance and the damage being distinct considerations.
As to compensation for injury to the picturesque, such as
the proximity of the railways, &c., the committee do not
express any decided opinion how far it can be measured
in money value ; and as to injury to mineral property by
the construction of railways over it, further consideration,
they say, is required; but they do not think it advisable
to make any distinct suggestion upon it in their report.
EDINBURGH, LEITH, AND GRANTOR' RAILWAY.—The
works on this line are proceeding with unprecedented
rapidity, and we have good reason to believe that the
branch to Granton will be opened to the public in a few
weeks. The Leith blanch is also making very rapid
progress. The prospects of the undertaking continue to
improve in a similar proportion. The stock is rising
steadily in the market. Indeed, when we consider the
peculiar situation of this railway, the wonder is, that it
has not advanced even more than it has done. No line
in the kingdom will occupy a more valuable and im-
portant position, for its feeders will be the very greatest
lines in Scotland ; the North British on the east, the
Edinburgh and Glasgow on the west ; from the south,
the Caledonian, the Edinburgh and Hawick, and Peebles ;
and, from the north, the Edinburgh and Northern, and
the various lines connected with the Fife rail. Such is
the favourable, indeed, the commanding, position of this
railway ; and it must be confessed, that the proprietors
amply merit the success which is now rewarding their
enterprising efforts, begun and persevered in at a time of
depression and discouragement, over which they have so
completely triumphed ; a powerful example to other
companies in similar circumstances.—Scottish Railway
Gazette. [A very gratifying report from the Directors
of this railway appears in another column, from which it
