THE ORANGENIEN OF DUNGANNON.—We are grieved and disgusted to witness additional proofs of the worst and most detestable spirit actuating the Orangemen of Dungannon. Will it be believed that the anniversary of the Battle of the Diamond—that bloody butchery—was actually celebrated at Dungannon no later than Thursday last, by ringing of bells, and other demonstrations of savage joy and brutal exultation. We trust the Government will not overlook conduct so flagitiously disgraceful as that which is reported to have stained the recent Orange orgic at Dungannon. The Dublin Evening Post, from which journal we extract the revolting intelligence, states the fact that " this is the first time, after an interval of 42 years, that this anniversary has taken place." A correspondent who dates from Dungannon, Sept. 21, writes :—" The anniversary of the rattle of the Diamond was celebrated at Dungannon this day with unusual honours ; the bells of the church rung a merry peal, and a large flag was hoistedfi one the steeple. No murders, however, were perpetrated ; but the Orangemen were never better armed. I have not time to state particulars?' What should we think of the English Tories commemorating the Manchester massacre by a publ'e festival ? yet do the Dungannon Tories meet in open (la) ,nd celebrate a butchery at the recital of which the blood freezes and the heart becomes sick. Shame, shame, upoii the sanguinary savages ! We are happy to state that the present registration for South Devon, holds out highly flattering prospects to the Reformers. Wo have no doubt that the Reformers will gain nearly 400 on the total registration of the Division.--Wedern Times.  Mr. Rowcroft—Does he wear hair under his nose like a cat ?—(Laughter.)—Witness—l don't know; but he looks like a foreigner. Cross-examined by Mr. HoLuEs.—Look at Mr. Rowcroft, and tell me if Mr. Bens:lnson is not more like him than like the things he has mentioned.  Witness—There is a great similarity, certainly— (Laughter.) Mr. Holmes—You have seen some of our military officers—Colonel Sibthorp, for instance ? Witness—l have seen military officers, but I never had the pleasure of seeing Colonel Sibthorp.—(Laughter.) Mr. Holmes—But you have seen military officers with their eyebrows under their noses ? Witness-0, yes.— (Laughter.) After some further proceedings, Mr. Holmes said he would not attempt to support the claim after the evidence that had been given. Name expunged. The name of Mr. Davis having been objected to, that gentleman attended in person to support his right to be on the register. Mr. Davis stated that be now held the same property, and possessed the same qualification as he had two years avo. I have now been kept away (continued Mr. Davis) two days from my business to support my claim. Who it is that opposes me.l know not. I only wish I did. I strongly suspect it is our parish doctor.—(Laughter.) I can only say this, that if this sort of opposition is to be followed up year after year, I would much rather have my name scratched off the register altogether. I am determined I won't be annoyed in this manner year after year. Mr. Rowcroft—lt is very vexatious certainly ; but lam not the person objecting to you. Mr. Davis—l should like to meet the objector face to face.  Mr. Davis then proved that he had paid all rates, and was in every respect qualified to vote. Mr. CRAIG expressed his regret that Mr. Davis had been put to so much inconvenience.  _ Mr. Davis asked whether he was really liable to be put to all this inconvenience year after year ? Mr.
