Orange cdyism.--Lurgan Sept. 27.--A num-
bel of Orangemen were returned for trial at
Portadown Petty Sessions this day, and large
bodies of the brotherhood from the surround
ing districts assembled in that town with flies
and drums, and kept up such din and clamor
outside tho courthouse door that the court had
to adjourn, and the cases to be heard were ne
cessarily postponed. They then proceeded to
the further end of the town, and, as II dlsap-
pointed in their first attempt to provoke the
Catholics. they marched back again into their
quarter drumming and fling, and apparently
determined by their insolent conduct and bear
ing to force the Catholics into conflict with
them, and when the police interfered to pre-
vent their further attempt to get up riot,
they turned on them and pelted them with
stones in q most unmerciful manner, consider
ing the paucity of their number and the over
whelming force of Orangemen who attacked
them, The police were not moro than about
twenty, whereas the Orangemen numbered
several hundred. Several of the people We're
severely hurt, but fortunately mono OF them
dangerously.

Jail for the purpose of ordering the discharge
ofthe four men who were arrested about q
fortnight ago, on suspicion of being connected
in tho murder of Mr.. Hunter, of Newfeld, near
Newportpratt, when the following four men,

N The Galscag Special Comn,issioR.-The special
commission for the County Galway was opened
on Sept 9th by the Right Hon. the Lord Chief
Justice of the Queens Bench and the Right
Hon. Mr.. Justice Keogh. OF the three or four
cases that to be disposed of during the
commission, that of Peter Barrett, who is
charged with shooting at Capt. Thos. Lambert,
is the most important.
Serious Outrage in Ga!,ody.-Galway, Sept. "a
The dissatisfaction felt here by a not inconsid-
cradle portion of the people when they found
that Barrett was not acquitted was expressed
in q rather violent manner immediately after
- the adjournment of the special commission.
Tho court house remained crowded up, to the
time the jury were discharged, so anxious were
all classes to ascertain, at the earliest moment,
the result of an inquiry which has been desig-
mated State trial. But outside the court an
immense crowd of the people of humber
classes awaited the result with impatience.
One of the jurors, Mr. Jackson, who was I'M
derstood to have stood out for conviction, was
assailed by mob on his way home from court.
He took refuge in the barracks, and one of the
stones thrown at him struck the sentry. The
Judges, on leaving the court in their carriage
for their lodgings, were also assailed, notwith |
standing the escort that accompanied them.
There was loud hooting, stones were thrown,
and one of the carriage windows broken.
Death Of Captain John WoaLfe FIdRagan.-We
deeply regret having to announce the death of
Captain John Woulfe Flanagan, j. p, d. L.,
which took place Tuesday at his residence |
Drumdoe, near Boyle, after an illness of several |
weeks duration. Captain Woulfe Flanagan
was grand juror of the counties of Roscom-
mon and Sligo, of which latter county he had
also been high sheriff.
The Land Question.-Cashel, Sept. 27.-On
yesterday monster demonstration of the ten
ant farmers of this division of the county Tip
haI6 lat atallf bnIl
three miles of here. The weather was fine
and the attendance of the owners and occupi- T
ers of land was much larger than was expect |
ed. beautiful platform was erected where |
the contemplated meeting was to be held, and
flag ffoated over it with the words, " Hurrah
for tenant rights"
Death of r. D4Arcy Esq, j. p, d. Live sim
cerely regret to have to record the death of
Richard Darcy, Esq, J. p, ID. L., Of Newfor-
est, in this county, which sad event took place
after q brief illness in fever, on Thursday last,
the 23d nit.
Great Meeting at Lehicore.-The demonstra-
tion which took place ON Sunday at Inchicore,
IN favor of the release of the political prison
ers, was, as regards the presence of people, not
inferior to any of the immense gatherings
which in Cork, Tipperary, Limerick, Kilkenny,
Drogheda, Dundalk, Longford, Wicklow, and
other counties expressed, the wish of the coun-
try that those who have for years endured all
the horrors of English prisons should be- re-
stored to their homes and to their~famlies.
At 2 o'clock on Sunday it would have been out
of all calculation, owing to the threatening
character of the weathe that within few
hours later immense multitude would have
assembled within the vicinity of the place of
meeting Thaso-who- at tho Bank of Ireland,
Cuffege=greeu, Dame street, and tho principle
centres of the city took cars for Inchicore were
favored with heavyeshower on their way, and
z it was thought very probable that no open air
demonstration could take place under such un-
promising circumstances. Yet the clouds
cleared Oft, the sun shone brilliantly the people
gathered in many thousands from all quarters,
the various bands formed in line of procession,
followed by their respective trade bodies; and
within wonderfully short time not less than
10000 people had congregated within the
peighborhood of Inchicore.
Great Meeting IN TTpperary.- Tipperary, Sept
ga large and influential meeting was held
here to-day for the purpose of discussing the
question of the fixity of tenure in Ireland, and
of adopting the rules, address, etc, of the
tenant leagues. The popular nature of the
proceedings, and the announcement that the
Very Rev. Dean O'Brien and Mr.. Butt, Q. c..
would address the meeting, combined to bring
together over ten thousand of the tenant farm
