THE TWELFTH OF JULY.

From the Provincial pipers which have arrived
from Ireland, it appears that the 12th of July
was celebrated in in toy places, with the usual Orange
parades ; and that, in some, it did not pass without dish
turbanse find bloodshed.

At Newry &number of Orange Lodges paraded thro'
the town and marched off in the evening to their respec-
tive homes ; but no ript of any kind took place.
At Belturbet there was an Orange procession the 12th
instant, but does not appear to have been either nume-
rous, or joined by any people of respectability. No ac-
cident occurred.

At Enniskillen, the ceremonies commenced with the •
pealing of the Church hells ; but obnoxious tunes were.
avoided. All the Lodges in the District, arrayed in
Orange costume, asseiubled. They paraded •in great
numbers, and marched, with colours flying, kc. &e. and
military musk, through the town, to the annoyance of
the Catholic inhabitants. no Catholics, however, were
wisely forbearing, and no serious consequence followed.
At fiallibay, the Orangemen belonging to four ledges,
consisting of about 300 individuals, assembled in the,
usual insulting manner. with colours and mask; g !am-
ber of the fair sex attended the procession ; the -party
was headed by the Rector of the Parish, who rode in front
decorated with Orange and Purple ribbons, and was ac-
companied by his son, about teb years of age, decorated
with the usual badges. It was market day, but the
market was thinly attended ; the Catholic population,
from fear of disturbance, absenting themselves. The
day, on this occasion, passed off quietly.

The members of three Lodges of Orangemen, viz.
Templepatrick, Straid, and Carrickfergus, paraded in
Carrickfergus, where there sever before had been a pro•
cession of that body. The Mayor and constables were
on the alert to keep the peace—but there did not appear
the slightest effort to excite disturbances.

The Orangemen of the Lisburn District, with some
Lodges of their Brethren from Hillsborough, asseint.led
in Lisburn, at the hour of eleven o'clock, and then pro-
ceeded to the parish church of Derriaglie, where Divine
Service was performed by the Grand Chaplain, county of
Antrim, and an appropriate Sermon was delivered.—
After service the Lodges proceeded homewards—up.l
wards of two thousand Orangemen having attended on
the occasion, besides a multitude of spectators.
At six o'clock, 30 gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous
dinner at one of the Inns, the Grand Master of the
county of Antrim being in the chair. The day pissed
away inoffensively.
At Magliera a number of Lodges assem'del, and on
that day paraded the streets with the usual emblems,
most admit) carrying pistols, fuzees, &c. and after hav-
ing regaled themselves with the due modicum of spirits,
they commenced firing in the streets without any pro-
vocation, to the terror and annoyance of their political
opponents. Military being in the town,all further Luis-
chief was prevented.
At Belfast, several Lodges, with the usual flags and
decorations, paraded in front of the Linen Hall, and af-
terwards marched to Comber, where, a sermon was
preached to them b, the Rev. Mr. Mortimer. They re-
turned about six oclock, when those who belonged to
Belfast retired to their Lodge-rooms, and the others pro-
ceeded to the country. The numbers in the procession
were much smaller than on previous years, though most
of them appeared decent and well dressed young men
Not the slightest disturbance took place. The Marquess
of Donegal, as Governor of the county, was peculiarly
attentive, and remained in town till a lite hour on Sa-
turday. His Lordship was eteeedingly solicitotts to give
effect to the wishes of the Lord Lieutenant fur the discon-
tinuance of all demonstrations of patty spirit among the
Yeomanry. A singular scene took place is Donezal-
place on this occasion. The Marquess of Donegal see-
ing one of the drummers of his corps with a regimental
drum in the procession, immediately seized bins for the
violation of his duty, and with his own hands deposited
the drum in the Nelson Club, and threatened the offend-
ing drummer with a Court Martial. His Lordship had
previously been applied to for permission to use the drums
and fifes, but he pereinptorily refused, as contrary to the
express wishes and instructions of the Irish Government.

In other places, as we learn from the following =collate,
the consequences of these parades were not so harmless :
" On Saturday, the litb instant, about five o'clock in the
evening, the Orange Procession was returning from Ar-
magh, and were about 14 miles from Keady, in the town-
land of Stetson; the Procession was attacked by a large as-
semblage of people called Thrashers, armed with hatchets, •
turf-spades, pitch-forks, shovels, stones, slic. When the
Orange procession (a small party came opposite to the
Thrashers, Mr. Smith, the Master of the Lodge, son of the
late Rev. Dr. Smith, of Madden, desired the Drummer to
cease pla) ing and put up his drum, for that they would pass
them as quietly as possible, and not be the first to give pro-
vocation, one of the Thrashers then came forward and held
Mr. Smith until two others knocked him down with a sledge
hammer! the Orangemen then, In their own defence, fired on
the mob, who made a general attack with the above men-
tioned weapons on the Orange party. Dr. Magee, of Kiady
was sent for to dress the wounds of Mr. Smith and his
Brother, and several of the Orange party who were in a
very dangerous state from the dreadful wounds they re-
ceived ; he was afterwards sent for to dress the wounds of
some of the Thrashers, three of whom are reported to be
dead, and a number of them dangerou,ly wounded.
" Nearly about the same time, a similar affray took place
about two miles on the other aide of Keady, in which it is
stated that two of the Orangemen were killed on the spot;
and it cannot yet be ascertained how many of the Thrashers
have suffered."

In another account from Armagh the writer says—" I have
' not heard of aoy thing very bad haring occurred in the
neighbourhood of the city, but, on going home, one body
was (as stated) attacked somewhere near Hansiough. Who
were the assailants I have not yet learned. On this point
both sides. as usual, differ In their accounts ; but the posi-
tive result is, that the Orangemen fired on the other party,
by which means one man was killed on the spot, and six or
seven were badly wounded. A messenger was dispatched
to Moosgbanaor Dacre Hamilton, Esq. a Magistrate, who
came prompts} with some dragoons, and lodged five of the
Orange party in Armagh gaol."
" A small party of Orangemen returning from the village
of Killalesgh to their home in Crossdewl, were waylaid and
attacked by an immense number of Ribtarinnien. The Pro-
testant party immediately retired, mid took refuge in the
house of a man named Hamilton, in the towoland of Crann.
The Rlbbonmen followed, and commenced a furious attack
apoo the house, from which some shots were fired upon the
assailants, one of whom is dead, and one or two others
wounded. The owner of the house, and one or two others
of the party have surrendered themselves, and are committed
for trial"
To these accounts may he added, a report which had
been extensively circuli•ed in Dublin on Aloriday and
Tuesday, of a serious affray at Liverpool, on the 12th of
July, between' the populace and the Orangemen. This
report, however, apprises to have been entirely ground.

THEATRICALS.
~..

Cagoule; TIMATILIL—We took a glance at the p•r'
formanees hero last night. The first piece was almost
too ridiculous to laugh at. The second is a compound
of desperate adventures, and horrors accumulated upon
horrors, without any regard to the nerves of the audi-
ence. HO:MIT fliiyi a difficult character with great
effect. There are two performers at this Theatre, who
would bear transplanting to the English Opera House—
s Mrs. Yotnco, who hat an excellent voice, and great
abllity,as an actress; and a Mr Jones, (we belieee,)twho
sings a parody of " Said a smile to a tear," with admr-
able taste and discretion.

THI GREAT PIiDESTRIAN MATCH.-Mr. R. Abernethy
in his match to go in miles in dd hours, was travelling'
at one o'clock yesterday, but with every probability of
failing io his undertaking, chiefly from the unfavourable
state of the weather.

HOP INTILLIGENCIL—EAST RI:TP.ORD, JULY 17.••••
The hop bides in this neighbourhood, and the North
Clays generally, are still very backward, and in addition
to the filth and honey, with which they have been some
time covered, they have now received the smit, is con-
sequence of which a complete failure of the crops is
expected ; the value of the fine samples of old hops is
therefore considerably increased.
A most awful and m lancholy instance of snrl,lsr;
death occurred at a small cottage in the New-cut, leacin4
from the Mandl-gate to Elscktriar.-road, on Wednssdwy.
A carpenter, of the name of Manners, and his tyife went
to bed in good health about eleven o'clock at night. In
the morning when he awoke at bis usual hour, he foirol
his wife a lif-less corpse by his side, stiff and cold, with
her infant, about five months old, licked fast in her arms
A shocking accident occurred yesterday morning in
Peter-street, Cow-cross. Margaret Conner, the wife ~f
a poor labouring man, had her scull fractured by a
up bedstead falling upon her, as she sat in a chair ne it
the fire, suckling her infant. Happily the child escaped
unhurt.
Coacixalts' Ixotiesys.—An inquest was lien before
0. Esq. Coroner, last night, at the Red Lion,
Strand, on the body of Jeremiah Sullivan, a brieklayer's
labourer.

John Carter deposed that he was at work with the de-
ceased, io front of a house in Wellington-street, on
•Thursday evening,between five and Fix o'clock ; the de-
ceased, instead of descending the bidder, which was care-
fully fastened,. put his hands to the upper scaffold and
attempted to Jump, or rather fall gently on the scaffold-
ing and is, in doing which his foot slipped, and he
was precipitated to the ground on his head, which
occasioned a fracture on the skull, and his death followed
immediately.
Verdict—Accidental death.
On Thursday evening an inquisition was held bebre
T. STIRLING, Riq• at the White Bear, New End, Hamp.
stead, on the body of Air. C. itlorgan, aged 75, a respect-
able farmer residing there.
From the evidence of the deceased's grandson, Charles
Horsfall, it appeared that he had for some time resided
with his grandfather, the deceased. On Wednesday
morning, he was called np and went on the common to
the cows; being somewhat surprised that the deceived
did not also come, he returned to the cow-house, and on
opening the door discovered his grandfather suspended
about half a foot from the ground ; he gave an alarm and
he was cut down. A medical gentleman was sent for, who
pronounced the deceased dead.
11 Evidence was also called to prove the deceased had for
some time laboured under a deranged state of mind, and
the Jury returned a verdict of Insanity.
