THE ORANGE FACTION IN IRELAND.  Notwithstanding the injunctions of the Sot ea EIGNI and the known and declared wishes of the Loan LIEUTENANT, the Orange faction in Dublin would not forego their odious ceremony on the 12th July. The Dublin Papers of Saturday contain long accounts of the tumultuous proceedings that took One on the day before, of which we can but give a brief abstract. _ _ _  It appears that so early as half-past four o'clock in the morning a procession of Orangemen marched down to College-Green, disturbing the peaceable inhabitants of the neighbourhood by their drunken vociferations. A ladder was obtained from the Bank orlieland, and the statue of King William was decorated with the obnoiious Orange colours. By nine o'clock the crowd about the statue had considerably increased, and several rencontres occurred between the groupes of Orangemen and their opponents; one of the former drew a cane sword, but was soon disarmed' and beaten by the multitude.— The four lamps that surrounded the statue were then demolished; a few active young men mounted the pedestal, tore down the flag, and - flung the Orange colours in the dirt. The Orangemen would now have been worsted, and the statue entirely despoiled of its ornaments, had not a detachment of Police come to their aid. The Orangemen charged the crowd. with a volley of stones, accompanying the onset with a yell which, one of the Papers says, resembled the Indian war-whoop. They were led on by some Yeomanry belonging to the Barrack Corps, and by a City Knight. The populace fled, and the Orangemen kept the ground. Four or five persons were dangerously wounded in the affray, the police cutting at the unmined populace with their drawn swords. Having secured the ground, the Orangemen, with the Police, ranged themselves in considerable force round the pedestal, shouting and rejoicing at their victory. The whole vicinity of College-green was thus kept in a state of the utmost alarm until eleven o'clock. One of the Papers, Saunders' News Letter, sa7s the Police conducted themselves with great steadiness. This is denied by the Editor of the Dublin Evening Post, who says, " Never were assembled together such a set of ruffians ; their bludgeons and swords were in perpetual activity. Several bruises and wounds were received; but we have not yet heard whether any murders were actually perpetrated. One poor cripple had his eye knocked out, and received a fracture in the skull; he now lies dangerously ill in Bull-alley. Another man was wounded by a pistol-ball, in the High-street.— Several *severe contusions, in short, were inflicted on one party. To the other—to the Orangemen—who muster ed very strong towards ten and eleven o'clock no obstruction whatever was offered. On the contrary, they were aided by the polite in compelling all persons who passed by College-green to pull offi their hats to the unholy idol of their. adoration. A Lady was thrown out •of her jaunting car, and a family consisting of females and children, were flung out of another. While Mr. CASEY'S car was passing, and before the, servant could comply with the requisition of this ferocious assembly, and make his obeisance to the demon of Discord, the noise took fright from the clamour and blows with which he was assailed. The driver was.flung from his seat and his head fractured." Several other accidents and offences are said to have taken place. At eleven o'clock a party of Sir WILLIAM STAMM'S Yeomen, many of them with their side-arms, went to the Green and disrobed the statue, and thus terminated the Orange procession of Dublin, in their anniversary roar on the 12th of July.  The Duke of YORK visited the KING yesterday. The Duke of Sussex, if sufficiently recovere. from his late accident, intends being present at the, ensuing York Races, during which his Royal Highness will reside at the house of Rosser CNALONNR, Esq. one of the Members for that City. it has been discovered to a certainty, that the French gentleman who called himself M. GLIIIISS, and who was lost in the ill-fated Albion packet, of Kinsale, in Ireland, was the celebrated Count Larealise Dzseourrres. Bermuda Papers have been received to the 24th of May. On the night of the 23d a general illuminetion took place, and a numerous procession paraded, the streets of St. George's, with a full length effigy of the Fa-Governor, habited injessaorgi costume, which, with aU the becoming the us militaky occasioo, was escorted to the publ e square of St. George's, and there consigned to the dames amid the loud huans of an indignant pelsulate----4""—
