n . COMPETION of PIPERS.
---....
• At the anneal'eompetition for prises given by the
Highland Society of London to the five best per.
formers on the gnat Highlawd bag-pipe, held in the
Theatre•Royal, Edinburgh, on the 21/4 inst. Sir J.
Macgregor Mousy, Bart. who was Preen of the
Judges on this occasion, in delivering the prises to
the successful candidates, addressed them severally in

.rtlipprolitlatt lyres.' •• Tito qualifications of a
piper, he observed, " were not limited to his being
a good performer on the favoarite instrument, and
properly dressed in the tree garb of his ancestors.—
There were others not less indispensable. His con•
duct ought to be strictly correct, and he must never
tern his back upon his friend or upon his enemy.—
The piper had always held an honourable rank in the
estimation of our ancestors, mod his post was in the
front of his comrades on the day of danger. This
honourable place had still been continued to him; his
station on such occasions was generally in the front
of his regiment, and there it was his duty to march
forward with the cool determination of a true High.
lander, stimulating his companions to heroic deeds
by the sound of the favourite piobrach of their
country"."

Mr. LA BEAUNE, of Southampton-row, in Ids
recent Work on the Mr-Pomp, Vapour-Bath, Fee.
titioui Airs, Medical Electricity, and Galvan-
ism, observes, that be has had the heartfelt satis-
faction of succeeding in various extraordinary and
desperate cases, by the employment of the Galvanic
Influence. He has tried its effects in a variety of
diseases with the greatest success. Several patients,
who had laboured under habitual asthma from three
to twenty-three years, were relieved by the first ap-
plication, and cared within three weeks. Numerous
eases of dyspepsia (indigestion), combined with the
west distressing symptom., with palsy, hypochondria,
giddiness, deafness'-, impaired sight, and a train of.
other afflicting maladies, have been cured in a short
time. Most of these cases had been sent to him by
the faculty, an account of which, at the request of
the patients themselves, he intends shortly to publish.
As so Important a benefit is obtained by so harmless a
natural stimulus as galvanism, which is attended by
no painful feeling, nor productive of any bad effects
bow preferable is such a treatment to mercurial Red
empirical remedies,-which seldom fail to sap tlic
foundation of the most robust constitution, to hurry
on premature old age, and nut aufrequently produce
sudden death.
The weather•in this 'met of the country has lately'l
been excessively hot. The thermometer daring the
her week several times stood at 89, and in the sun at
146. On Friday• night we had some heavy showers.
but no abatement 'elthe beat. On Senday night some
rain also fell. Yesterday, towards the evening, we
bad some heavy showers, and the atmosphere became
several degrees cooler. The *beat is eveiy thing that
can be wished, and we expect mach. will be cut this
week. Barley, beans, and peas, as we before ob-
served, are bad. The rye is good. Oat. the tame.
Some of the self-sown came to our market a fortnight
ago, and were eacellent.--(Afaidelone Gaudio.)

ORANGE SYSTEM.
We know not with what feelings our readers may
peruse the following detail. Oars have been those
of digest and indignation. Two murders have been
committed—two men have fallen victims tb this bru-
tal system. But the reader shall first have the story
in the words of the Belfast News Letter :
" Kt Len, JULY 13.—Near to Tyatice, after cer-
tain Lodges of Orangemen, in procession, with the
usual ensigns and musical airs, had passed, where a
number of supposed Ribandmen were lying in wait,
a volley of stones was discharged at the rear-most
ensign of the Orangemen. At the same time a Rl-
bondman seized and violently 'assaulted one of the
Orange party. This assault was retaliated by the
Orangemen sorroundiwg the house into which the
aissilaiit had Bed, when pursued by the exasperated
Orangemen. After a serious contest the Catholic
party took flight ; and, in she pursuit which followed
through the bogs to the river Bann. into which they
plunged up to the neck, one of the Catholics received
a blow from s stone which fractured his skull, and
ender which he is now Mooring, his life being de-
spaired of.
" In the evening of the same day, some iodivi.'
dulls belonging .40 „another party of Diangemen,
which had paraded in the toots of Kilrea, having con-
tinued at their rendezvous till a late boor at night,
quarrelled amongst themselves, end after the stronger
patsy had put the weaker to flight, one of the fugi-
tives having brought assistance to his friends, the con-
test was renewed more extensively ; and, in conse-
quence, a young man, called O'Neil, had his skull
fractured in several places, and was stabbed besides
'its various parts of the body, with one of those large
double edged swords which are not unusually carried
in such processions. This unfortunate youth having
fled for refuge to the house of the sub-constable, Mr.
Keon, in likes, was by him, with praiseworthy in-
trepidity, protected from further injury; bat the loss
of blood and the nature of the wounds preclude all
hopes of his recovery. The same sword also was die-
disgrecefelly misused, in nearly cutting off the arm of
rents Mitchel, of Kilrea, who intetfered only to pro.
OM his son; end this elderly man remains in a very
dangerous situation. Two of the rinjlesders have
lad.
