      Leeds DisiBici Court o * BiKKnupicr . —In this eourtjon Wedaesday last , before Mr , Commissioner Bere , Mr . Thomas Smiflison , tobacconist , of York , made an appUcation for Ms certificate . He was opposed by Mr . Blackbnrn , solicitor of Leeds , on fc&naJf of the princip » l creditors , the Yorkshire Distort Banfc , and Mr . Thompson . Mr . Bond , also of Leeds , sohcitcr , was engaged for the bankrupt . It appeared from Mr . Blackburn ' s statement , that the banKrnpt wasineolTc-Btin 1834 , in upwards of £ 2 , 000 ; tfaathe subsequently opened an account wkh the Agricultural Bank , and obtained large advances ; tha ; his profits since 1834 , had been about £ 550 a year , and bis expenditure about £ 8 & 0 . Daring this

      time he regularly hnated , became a councillor of the Uty of York , and kept up a first rate appearance . He was new owing about £ 4 , 800 , and his assets did not exceed £ 550 ; be had als © made several false statements relative to some parts of his accounts . Mr- Biaekbnrn argued that as the 3 Dtb sec , of the 5 and 6 Victoria , bad expressly provided that the Conrt m deoiding the question should consider the conduct of the bankrupt both before and after his bankruptcy , that the bankrupt was not entitled to his certificate , on the ground that frsm 1834 down to the present time , his conduct bad been fraudulent , and thai he bad not given a full statement of bis affairs . Mr . Bond contended that there was no fraudulent

      intention on the psrx of ihe bankrupt , and anempted to explain omissions in bis cash accounts . Af terthe matter had been fairly gone into , the Learned Commissioner delivered judgment , observing tfeat there was a material difference between abankrupt passing his last examination and obtaining his certificate . He might tell all the truth , and though unsatisfactory , the ^ re might be snfiieieTit reapon for passing bis examination , but thai did not furnish ground for granting the certificate . If the last act of parliament had not passed , the bankrupt could not have obtained bis cer : i £ cate , for the opposing creditors were of an amoantsufiicient toprevent it , and the court must look at the fact of the creditors opposing , and to a

      considerable extent be guided by it . He found , in this case , that the bankrupt , while in a state of hopeless insolvency , had eDgaged in pursuits in which he was not justified j that his whole conduct had been that of reckless extravagance and inattention to business , making a small profit and spending largely . He found also that ^ nring last year the bankrupt had made a return of his income at £ 350 a year ; a course of proceeding which could not be sufficiently deprecated . In short , he found that from the commencement to the present time , the bankrupt had pnrsucd a course of extravagance wholly nsjostifiable , that his profits fell far short of h : s expenditure , that UDoa his examination into his brother ' s acconnts

      he had given most unsatisfactory answers , and made several cifierent statements , first making his broiher a debtor 3 s . 9 d ^ then a creditor for £ 85 , and , lastly , a debtor for £ 37 ; that he had no ; given a fair and creditable account of his property ; and , therefore , takiug all these thingB into his consideration , and looking at the fact that a large body of creditors opposed his certificate , his HonoT was bound to Bay that scch a person should not be allowed easily to return to trade , and his judgment was , that the consideration of the certificate should be suspended for two years , and if at that time the bankrupt conld come wkh a better statement of facts , he might do so .

      TiatREBASCB Festival . —Th& Leeds Temperance Society celebrated ther annual festival on Tuesday last , at the Botanical Gardens . Fears had been entertained , from the very unsettled state of the weather , that this interesting celebration would have to be abandoned ; thanks , however , to a kind Providence , the lowering clouds were stayed , and the sun gave forth his exhilaring beams , not in overpowering majesty , bet so tempered that the heat was by no means unpleasant , while the day was everything taat could be desired . The note of preparation was sounded soon after noon , and crowds of eager and anxious expectants were even then to be seen making towards Headiagley , along every one of

      the roads leading thereto , and long before the hour named for the tea to be on the table , it was placed beyond ^ matter of doubt that sn&ce&s would attend the enterprise . So great , indeed , was the throng at all the gates , that the money and ticket takers had great difficulty in fulfilling their office . The splendid band of the 32 nd Infantry , and the excellent brass band from Br&mley , were in attendance , and enlivened the company greatly by their performance . Tea was prepared in the iarge and spacious tent ; and an almost endless round of amuscmetns were participated in by all classes . John Barleycorn was brought io * public trial , and we need not say that , although be was ably defended by counsel , he wasjfound guilty of . being the author of every ill to which" fle ^ i is heir , and the miseries of the millions were dearly laid at his door . Wo did not hear his sentence , which was lost to hs amidst

      the applause which balled the verdict , but we suppose that ntter banishment from society was decreed 10 be Jlis lot . JL party of gles singers contributed their efforts io please—and those efforts were crowned with abundant success . Dancing , too , was freely participated in by numerous merry groups ,, to die sweet strains of the martial music ; and here it is but jnstice to say that the kind and obliging condnct of the leader of the band of the 32-ad , was the theme of general and hearty approval . We cannot , of course , give the exact number of the persons in the gardens ; it must have been very large , probably upwards of 12 ^ 000 . The amount of cash received , inclnoing the tickets for the tea , wa 3 4202 IDs . 2 d ., of which the gardens would get £ 110 2 s- 3 d . as their share . It was near ten o ' clock before the whole of the company got out of the gardens , and it is cheering to report that no accident , so far as we know , happened to mar the pleasures of the day .

      AssACiT asd Bobbeet . —On Monday last , two men named Benjamin Thompson and William Bockwlth , of Hunslet . colliers , were charged before Messrs Grace and Wright , at the Leeds Court House , whh having committed an aggravated assault upon a person , on Sunday morning about three o ' clock , and also with having stolen his cloth cap . The prosecutor said he was returning from Wakefield , and that ihe prisoners attacked him at Thwalte Gate ; Thompson was the man who assaulted him , the other was otHj there . The cap not being feand , and It being of no great value , the magistrates decided nt > on a summary conviction , and fined Thompson £ 4 . and costs , or two months to Wakefield j Beekwiih was discharged .

      Assacix—On Monday last , a yonng man named David Holroyd was charged at the Leeds Court House with having been drnnk on Saturday night , and with having assaulted Mr . Superintendent James . He was fined 20 s . and costs , or in default of payment , sent a month to Wakefield . Is ^ eesi . —On Monday morning , an in Inquest wa 3 held at the Cardigan Arms Inn , Bramley , before John Blackburn , Esq ., t 5 oroner , toinquireoon earning the death of Henry Bates , a youth fourteen years of age , who resided at Bramley , and who died rather

      suddenly on Saturday . The deceased complained of being ill on Friday , and went io bed ; he was left there on Saturday morning by Mb sister when she went to work , and on her return , about four o ' clock in theafterncen , she fonnd him dead in bed , Mr . Calvert , surgeon , of Bramley , was directly * ent for ; he made a po 3 t-mortem examination by order of the coroner , in consequence of rumours he had heard , and gave it as his opinion that death had been produced by a sodden attack of inflammation of the brain , arising from perfectly natural causes . Verdict accordingly .

      Suxdat Schools . —On Monday last , according to yrmna . 1 custom on Whit-Monday , the scholars attending the various Sunday Schools in Leeds , assem bled at different places , and were paraded through the streets to their xespectivfc places of worship , and were regaled besides with buns , and , insome instances , with tea . The Dissenters , or Sunday School Union , as usnal , bad the use oTRbe doth Hail Yard , where althongh there was & goodly number , yet they did not mnster so strong as on former years , probably owing , in a greal measure , to the unsettled state of the weather , which prevented the attendance

      of schools from the eountry . The parochial sehools attended the parish church , and the national schools St . George ' s church . The Catholic « shoolswere at St . Ann ' s ; the Unitarian at MD 1 Hill ; the Wesleyans at their several chapels—other denominations at theirs . On the whole , much pleasure seemed to arise to all parties connected with the schools , and the children were as happy as children generally are under such circumstances . We believe it had been arranged for some of the schools to visit the Botanical Gardens , an intention which the weather had prevented from being carried into effect , in consequence of the very wet state of the ground .

      : The WHTtsxisTtDE Holydats have been kept yxp with great spirit here in Wakefitld . Numbers of the canons Secret Orders have beld their Annual Festival , at ths several Inns , in ^ the town . Good eating and drinking seemed for onca to have ruled the day . At ^ tfwlon , a display of rnstfesporls took place , and great numbers assembled together to enjoy the fun . The neighbourhood of Potovens held their feast on { Monday last , and the scene was enlivened by the Temperance Brass Baud playing at intervals during ; tho day . All care and sorrow was banished from thB countenances of those who attended the feast .

      ; OK Wedhesda-t last , the annual festival of the iHorbnry Church of Eogland Sunday School took place , and a grand display was made upon the -occasion . The party was headed by nine priests and six choristers dressed in their white surplices . fA sort of High Mass was performed ; tho Bev . J . Sharp , of Horbury , took the principal part . After Jthe performance , the children to about 200 in number , jwere plentifully regaled with tea and buns in the [ garden of the Bav . J . Sharp , and seemed highly 'delighted with the treat . No doubt many of them bad not partaken of such a meal since the last festival .

      Exteksive Sejzvbes at Wakbfield . —Dnring the ; past week the excise officers have been doing great ^ things in this town in the ^ way of seizures of scouring liquor . Tnis is an article used only by the poorer classes , to assist in lessening their toil , and contains a small proportion of soap . - The soap in this maaui facture having before paid duty , we are at a loss to ¦ know what the excise have to do with it . They : have , entered the premises of the principal manufacturers in this town , and seized their 6 tock ; they took about a gallon , belonging to a widow , a shopkeeper in

      Northgate , and a further-quantity from a poor man in Kew-street , who contrived to earn an honest livelihood out of the manufacture of the above liquid . They also took his tubs with them , besides frightening the poor old -man out of his senses . Their disagreeable visits have also beeu extended to other parties in the neighbourhood ; thus have the stock of the petty shopkeepers been more rapidly exhausted than before . We understand that au officer hes been sent down from London , specially we suppose , tomakeihisgreat seiaure , the whole of which will not pay his railway fare down .

      On Wednesday last , the Wakefield Board of Guardians was attended by-Mr . Clements , one of the assistant commissioners , from London , when the previous vote , that two relieving tfficers be elected , with £ 50 a year each , was rescinded . Mr . Clement wished for one with £ 100 salary , but was overruled . After a deal of cavilling , the sum of £ 70 was agreed upoD for one relieving officer . Os Stjndav last three sermons were preached in the Primitive Methodist Chapel , by the Rev . J . Featherston , of Swinefleet . After eaoh sermon liberal collections were made on behalf of the children of the school . On Monday a public tea was provided for the teachers and children in the school room , raid on Tuesday the children paraded the town under the guidance of their teachers . At various places appropriate pieces were sung , in which they acquitted themselves in a manner which' did great credit to their teachers .

      Thb Yohxshib . k Summer AssiaEShave , we understand , been fixed to be held on Wednesday , the 12 th of July next . BRAPFOSD . —Leeds United Order os Odd Fkllows . —The members of Solomou ' s Lodge , No . 31 , held at the honse of Mr . William Greaves , Manchester-road , Bradford , held their anniversary on Monday , the 5 th instant . The members sat down to an excellent dinner provided for the occasion by the worthy host . Public Meeting op thb Woolcombebs of Bbadfobd . —On Tuesday a public meeting of the vfoolcombers was beld ia front of the Odd Fellows ' Hall , at one o ' clock , to take into consideration the distressed state of the trade . Mr . Marcbal was

      called to the chair . He briefly stated the objects of the meeting , and called on Mr . George Ainly to move the first resolution . " That this meeting considers the extreme distress to which wo and our families aro reduced , attributable , in a great degree , to the reduction which has taken place in our wages within the last six years ; we , therefore , think it necessary that a union of some kind should be formed amongst us for the protection of our industry . " Mr . Pickles seconded the resolution in aa appropriate speech . Mr . Fletcher supported it . The Chairman put it to the meeting , when every hand was held up for it . The second resolution , proposed by Mr . Heaton , seconded by Mr . Croft , and carried unanimon « 3 y , wa 3 as follows : — "That we consider the

      principles upon which trader unions were founded erroneous ; for by raising funds out of tho labour of the employed to support the unemployed and families in time of strikes , w ^ s an inducement to idleness ; and -we believe saon funds ought , to be employed in finding "Work for our surplus labourers in productive industry / ' Mr . Clarke proposed . Mr . Butler seconded the third resolution , und was ; very ably supported by Mr . Jude Yeates— " That ihe gieat cause of a re ? doction of wages is a surplus of labourers ; we therefore think it necessary to raise a fund for the purchase or rental of land , upon which to locate surplus labourers for the production and enjoyment of wealth ; thereby relieving the labour market and raising the price of labour . * ' ** That a Committee of

      eleven persons be appointed at this meeting to draw up plans for that purpose . " A committee of eleven persons were chosen according to the resolution ; A vote-of thanks was passed to the Chairman , and the meeting dissolved . —Immediately afterwards , Mr . Clarke was called to the chair , who stated the objects of this second mesting was to get up a petition , praying for an inquiry into the prison discipline and dietary of Stafford gaol , in the case of Cooper , Capper , and Richards . Mr . Smith addressed the meeting and read a petition similar to what was got up in other places . Mr . Hurley seconded it . The Chairman put it to the meeting and it was carried unanimously . It was proposed and carried that Mr . Duncombe do present the petition in the House of Commons . The Chairman announced there was another subject to which be would | draw their attention—it

BARNSLET-lTrade remains in a very depressed state . Not above one half ox two-thirds of the looms in and about the town being employed . This day there has been an order made out before the magistrates for the removal of . fifteen families to their parishes , and yet the Leeds Mercury of last

      Saturday had the town ofiBarnslgy improving , and " nota loom but was in fall work or partly so . V A more base or infamous paragraph than this never appeared -even in the big lying Mercury , and ia done for a wretched purpose , the efftct of which will be , as usual , to stop the relief of some who are on parsh pay . Perhaps the more ostensible object is to induce tne hundreds who left the town to return , as there is a good itching on the part of some to reduce wages , and now that there is a strike already in the town . Mr . Frudd ^ manufacturer , has failed in liabilities to the amount of eight or ten thousand pounds , which has caused much delay . So much for the prosperous Btate ; of Barnsley .

In fact , joy and pleasure seemed to fill every countenance with the conduct of the magnanimous O'Connor , in throwing down thn olive branch of pp ace , some exclaiming , "Why not !

Tho people of England and Ireland , I am happy to perceive , are now about to join hands in friendship and union for the attainment of political rights ; and , if due jdirectionbe given to that union , nothing under heaven can prevent the accomplishment of tho combined purpose . No man in Ireland professing democratic principles , denies the right of the EigHsh'people tjo the jnsfc c l aims put forth in the Charter ; and , if now the English democratic party

      will admit the inalienable right of the Irish people to manage their own affairs , we can secure between us such a demonstration of unity of purpose and determination as will secure that no future Parliament of England can refuse or even hesitate to concede all that is beneficial to both countries , " Mr . Eneas Daly moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting returns Its best thanks to Alderman Hayes for his unceasing desire to effect a union between the friends of freedom in both countries , and may his exertions be speedily crowned with success . " The speaker in the moat [ eulogistic manner , spoke of the patriotism of thfs gentleman . Mr . P . Hoey seconded the resolution , andjspoke in warm terms in its support .

      From Cabool the little intelligence received represents the star of Akhbar Khan ' s prosperity as being on the decline . He is stated to have lost much of his popularity , and to have been ! compelled to give way to the authority of Newab Zeman Khan , who has been placed upon the throne ; he is represented as having moved to Jeltellab&d to await the arrival of his father . The Delhi Gazelte learns from an authentic source that the sou ot Meer Wa . cz < s on the throne of Cabul , and the prospect of the Doit's return alone is ^ aid to keep the people of that oity , fijom attacking Mahomed Akhbar , who is stated to have grown so unpopular that another attempt to ] murder him was made at Lughmah .

V

      The fears of the Lahore Court ] regarding a probable invasion from the west are evidently on the increase . Mahomed Akhbar was at Jellallabad , and much anxiety prevailed as to ( the result of Do 3 t Mahomed ' s passage through the Khyber . At Delhi , the King continues to resent the withdrawal of the Nuzzurs by our Government , by refusal to hold any communication in Durbar even with his own nobles . He has declined £ 9 receive presents from any one on the occasions on which it is usual to offer them . He has expressed an intention of disposing of the whole of his jewels , and ] had sent for jewellers to value them , but the hrir apparent has entered his protest against such a step , on the plea that they are crown and not personal property .

The latter end of March , the Ranee of Huraha , having coHected 6 , 000 men and five guns , attacked Nowroz AH Khan , the Aumil of that place , on account of some old grudge . Tho fight lasted for three hours , whan the lady obta . inod a signal victory , and the Aumil retreated with total loss of ammunition and baggage .

      The First Annual Report from the Governors of the Madras University" has appeared . It shews the low stale of government education in that presidency . The Madras University jowes its origin to Lord Elphinstone . Its governors are composed of natives and Europeans . In 1841 the Government proposed establishing provincial high schools at Triohiuopoly , Masulipatam , Bellary , and Calicut . It resolved also , in accordance with iho proposition of Lord Elphinatoue , to promote the spread of education among the higher class of natives , by directing that , iu every practicable instance , the minors who are the wards of the Board of Revenue should be educated at institutions supported by tho

      Government . { The intelligence from China contains nothing remarkable except the death , on the 4 th March , of tho Imperial Commissioner Eiepoo , which is likely to cause considerable delay in the j settlement of the treaty and the commercial arrangement .

Evepo © has been _ a conBtaut advocate for oeaco from the first , ! and it ia believed

      that his death may give a preponderance to the war party . It is surmised that this Commissioner is likely tojbe Keying , and that it is probable all further negotiations will be carried on in the North , whither it was Sir Henry Pottinger ' s intention to proceed , immediately after the arrival of Major Malcolm with the ratification of the treaty . He was expected at Hong Kong about the middle of March . The Canton papers state that Eiepoo , who was an aged man , had been for some time in declining health . His death occurred after a feast . I

      Singular stories are aflaat among tho Chinese regarding the death of the Commissioner ; according to some he has been poisoned , and others even say that so onerous were to him the duties of his officethat in a moment of disgust he broke his omi head with his ink-stone ( the stone on which the Chinese prepare their ink ) .

      ORANGE WRECKINGS IN -TYRONE-PRO CLAMATION OF THE GOVERNMENT .

      ( From the Dublin Evening Post . ) In the House of Lords , on ] Thursday , Lord Lorton required the calling out of the Orange Yeomanry , in order to produce ! " a great moral effect throughout the country , " and as " the surest and most , effectual mods of restoring tranquillity !" Whilst the Orange Lord was making this demand , the Orange Yeomanry were already out , actively employed in producing " a great moral effect , " after their old fashion , in the wrecking and burning of the houses of unoffending and defenceless Catholics , in the county of Tyrone—in maltreating and robbing poor widows and helpless children , and in regaling themselves in the houses of the " [ Loyalists ; " in the town of Dungrannou , after they had acoomplihsed the glorious work of wrecking , in ! a neighbouring village .

      Those atrocious crimes were [ committed in the open day , upon Tuesday last , within seventy-six miles of Dublin ; and after the lapse of four days , the organ of Lord de Grey , the Dublin Evening Mail , suppresses all allusion to them , being engaged , like Lord Lorton , in demanding the re-organization of the Orange bloodhounds , whose first demonstration of their capacity to " restore tranquillity" is described in the following communication . This narrative is derived from our correspondent , whe confines himself to the plain falcts of these most atrocious outrages : — j ** Duagannon , Friday .

      11 I arrived here this morning , and found tbe plaoe iu a state of extreme excitement , owing to on traces of a very atrocious nature having taken place on Tuesday last . I fiDd , in last night's Evening Packet , the outrage referred ] to , under the following head-r- ^ Fbuits of thb Repeal Agitation ' —and then follows an indistinct confusion of facts , such as novcr could have proceeded from any person , except for the purpose of concealment of the truth . Now , there was , on that day , no Repeal meeting of any kind within sixty miles of the place ! ! But there was a gathering of Orangemen from different quarters , with drums and fifes , playing party tunes , without even tho semblance of meeting to petition , or pass resolutions , or even make speeches . What the object of the gathering coulld have been is riot

      discoverable , except from its results ; it is supposed the object was to deter petitioners from holding any raeetrng , even within doors , in tfjis town in future . After parading the town in a disorderly manner , without any avowed objeot , the body left town and proceeded , with drums beating , j and a purple flag flying , with the words' No Repeal' on one side , and ' the Queen and British connection' on the other . They thus proceeded to a small village called Carland , about two miles north of this , where they net to demolishing , ransacking , breaking and plundering all the houses of the Catholic ' s reaident in that town and its vicinity , to the amount of , I am credibly informed , forty-Jim houses ! passing by each Protestant dwelling without the slightest molestation 1 !

      "I enclose an accurate account , taken by a respectable individual , who took an inventory of the mischief done . | " Mark this ! tbe entire havoc was done without the slightest opposition , for the poor inhabitants fled on the approach of the Orangemen . u I can hardly bring you to belijeve all this ^ but it is true ; it was . sometime before | l could believe it myself , though described by eye-wriinesses . " The inventory alluded to occupies ten or twelve pages j bnt as the details of the moik of devastation are generally of the same character as regards all the houses wrecked , we shall , for the present , confiue ourselves to the following epitome : —

      Edward O'Donnell—A bedstead smashed , also two wheels , two chests , a reel , a shelf , three crocks , sa dozen of plate ? , an iron pot , and ( two windows . Bernard Dowlin—Broken : Two windows , two tables ,, two spinning wheels , a shelf , &a iron pot

Neal Duff—Door and frame broken , two window and window stools broken ; cart very mnch da-unged ; hat and handkerchief catried away , and the house set on fire . Bar tley Corf— Forg * and gable house neatly pulled down , and several tools carried away ; beet ciofchesj curtains , three pair of Wapkets , three quUta , three sheets , and two shirts , carried away . [ Poor Corr's inventory of damage done and property stolen is considerable ] Anne O'Neill—All the windows broken , the furniture smashed , the gable-house knocked down , and fire put in the thalch of her dwelling . Pat M"Cor . ry—Fire , put in the thatch , and bis house robbed .

      Ally Donnelly—Doors broken open , the windows and some of her furniture carried away . Widow Jane M'Mahon—Windows and door broken ; chairs , dresser , and pot broken ; and bed clothes carried away . Mrs . Corr , beaten ; Mary Anno Tierney , beaten severely ; Widow M'Glade robbed . James Duff—Doors and windows broken , furniture broken , and £ 3 in cash taken away . Bar tley Patten—All his furniture , . , and bedding destroyed . Jane M'Dounell—Her residence wrecked and robbed . The houses of the following persons were also wrecked and robbed : —

      Bernhard Lanaghan , John Devlin , Daniel M'Crory , Fulix Roger * , Edward Timson , J . DowHng , James Kano , John Tierney , Pat Agnew , John M'D > urcll , Peter M'Crory , Michael M'Crory , Charles M Gee , Grace Morgan , James Coulton , Pat Ker ( house robbed and ho . ' severely beaten ) , Hugh Korr , James Tierney , Pat M'Mahou , John Loughran , Pat II Gill , P . M'Guirk , John Bradloy , John M'Gladigan , and Jawcs Kane ; in all , forty-five houses wrecked and entire furniture destroyed . " It is by this means that the faction seek to supply a pretext tor coercive measures , in order that tho Orange Yconianry mays gain be organised fanri paid , and the lives and property of the Catholics loft one * more at their mercy . " In the Newry Examiner we find the following account of the Oiranee wreckings ;—

      ' * F-or several days previous , emissaries wero buay in the neighbouring districts , summoning theO-angem < m to assemble . The plan was well organised , and a simultaneous invasion from several points having been determined on , several parties entered the town with fifes and drums , playing party tunes ; but one of the detachments , on passing a qaarrv . at a place called Carland , within two miles of Dungannon , stopped to attack several men who were at work . Thev were resisted , and the drum broken in the scuffl : ? . No personal injury , however , was inflroted and tbe defeated party having made good their passage to the town were there reinforced , and marched back to the scene of action , resolved on vengeance . They were followed by the police , at the head of whom was Mr . Wray , J . P ., agent to the Earl of Ranfurly . On arriving in the neighbourhood of Carlan , the Orange party proceeded to wreck the houses of the Catholics ; they demolished upwards of

      thirty houses , and inflicted several serious injuries , besides plundering whatever property they could lay their hands on . The greater part of this mischief was perpetrated , as we are informed , in presence of thz police , who remained passive spectators of the scene until it was too late to interfere . The ruffians at length were interrupted , and returned to Dungannon , where , for the rest of the day , yells and shouts and every description of drunken discord , disturbed the peace of the town . The Repealers remained , throughout this irritating scene , perfectly quiet . " The wreckings , according to this statement , took place in presen-e of the police . But , indeed , this is tacitly admitted by the Orange journals of the district , one of which , the Northern Standard , published in the adjoining county of Monaghan , glories in the atrocities , and , in the excitement of gratified vensreaneflL incites tho Oraagemen to murder Mr . O'Connell .

      It is pretended that a detachment of the armed Orangemen > passing through Carland , were attacked by the Catholio inhabitants of the hamlet , who , it is admitted , were without arms . The pretext for the subsequent wreckings and plunder is the fabrication that the unarmed Catholics were the aggressors upon an armed party of Orangemen ! It is thus that the Northern Standard reports progress on the work of devastation : — " We learn that in all forty-five houses were razed to the ground ; but , although we heard this from very excellent authorities before we left Dangannon , we scarcely think it possible that so much mischief oould have been done in . so very short a time , as Sub-inspector Irwin and the constabulary force

      under hu ? command , accompanied by Robert Wray , Esq ., J . P ., left town a few minutes after the processioii , and proceeded with the utmost dispatch to the scene of action . It is fortunate that the Repealers cut and run—it is fortunate that they are cowards as well as bailies—otber « vise the consequences would have been dreadfal— many , very many lives would have been sacrificed , and the crisis which is approaching might have been hastened to an immediate consummation . It is equally fortunate that the wounds inflicted on Morrow were not fatal , for if they were , and that he or one of his party had been sent to their account , O'Connell would have a very short time to triumph in his agitation . —However , having wrecked their vengeance on the property of their enemies ; the procession returned into

      town , and paraded through every street , marching iu merry order , to the airs of * The Protestant Boys , 'Croppieslie down , ' &o . About six o ' clock they separated for a little time aad partook of refreshment , provided for them by some of ; the loyal inhabitants , and again having assembled in the Diamond , they welcomed a company of the 83 d , which arrived from Charlemont , wi h three hearty cheers . This force was brought from their quarter * through a torrent of rain , in consequence of an affidavit made by ono of the Repealors , a shop or public-house keeper , or something of that sort , whose name , wa believe , is Farrell , that his house was in danger ; and that the leadors ~ bf the Repeal party were made to cry peccavi whou they roused the ProteuUnt lioa . The army were not . however , required .

      • ' About seven o ' clock the entire body again assembled in the Diamond , and being told off in companies , left the town in the most peaceable manner , their bands playing before them . " This is tho Orange glorification of the wr < ckings . Another Orange organ , the Newry Telegraph * gives the following account of the Backers of the village of Carland : — " The procession moved on in the direction of Carland ; but as its progress was comparatively slow , a number of the more rash and hot-headed of the assemblage ran forward at full speed towards the village . Arriving there , and finding that the RepealerB had taken to their heels , they , exasperated to a pitch of fury at the treatment thoir friends had experienced , commenced , I am sorry to say , the wrecking of the Repealers' dwellings . While the work of destruction was going on , our local magistrate , R . Wray , Esq , arrived at the place with a party of police , and no further damage was done . "

      Tnia ia the Orange admission . Mr . Wray , who is , we understand , the agent of Lord Ranfurly , arrived whilst ihe Orangemen were engaged in wrecking and robbing the houses of the CathoiicB . Why did not Mr . Wray order the arrest of the lawless banditti 1 He saw them wrecking the houses , and maltreating ; the poor defenceless women . Why , we demand , did he not direct their immediate apprehension 1 This is a question which Mr . Wray must answer . W « would suggest that a copy of his report to Government should at once be moved for in the House of Commons .

      And here a word respecting the Arms Bill . The discretion is given to tne magistrates to allow arms to those they consider qualified . Here we find a mob of armed Orangemen engaged in tho commission of outrage , and instead of apprehending and disarmi ; g them , the Orange organ tells us that justice was satisfied , because " no further damage was done . " Here is an illustration of what wo are to expect under the operation of the Arms Bill . Lord De Groy and his Castle advisers are now offering a reward of £ 100 for the apprehension of the Orank , o banditti . The following proclamation appears in the Gazette of last night : — " Dublin Castle , Jane 2 , 1843 .

      11 Whereas it has been represented to the Lord-Lieutenant , that on the 3 O . h ultimo , several houses in the towulanus of Lisboy , Carland , Feroy , and Creeragh , situate in the parish of Donaghmore , and county of Tyrone , were considerably injured by an assemblage of persons , about 4 , 000 in number . His excellency , for the better apprehending and bringing to justice the perpetrators of this outrage , is hereby pleased to offer a reward of £ 100 to any person or persons [< Xctpt the persons or persons who actually committed tho same ] , who shall , within six months from the date hereof , give such information as shall lead to the apprehension and conviction of all , and proportionally for one or more of the persons concerned therein . v - w By his Excellency ' s command , " M E . Lucas . "

      It is too late , niy Lord De Grey . You will never hear of the arreet of one of them . The Orangemen are swor . n to be true to each other , and they are too well organized to break the compact . Your magistrate did not order the arrests at the only tioie-. tbtij could be made , and your proclamation will only bo laughed at . Dismissal of E . B . Roche , Esq ., M . P ., From thb Deputv-Lieutenancy . —The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland iias directed the Lord Lieutenant of the county , to remove our county * member , Mi * . Roche , from the deputy lieutenancy of the county .

      INDIA . Br the Overland Mail despatches we learn , that we still keep up our National Character in India frightfully ; plunder and rapine and murder mark our footsteps with diabolical precision . The press is in ecstacies . The Sun sayB : — " The News from India , brought by the last Overland Mail , is of the most gratifying description . The gallant Napier , with his little invincible army , has gained another yiotory—captured , destroyed , or dispersed a second army of 20 , 000 , and taken possession of Meerpoor , and the important ( fortress of Oomercote . It appears that an army of Belochees , twenty thousand strong , under the command of

      Meer Sbere Mahomed , had taken up a strong position on the river Fullalie , near the spot where the Ameers of Soinde Were so signally defeated ; and Sir C . J . Napier , oh ascertaining the fact , resolved to attack thtm forthwith . On the 24 th of March , he moved from Hyderabad at the head of 5 , 000 men with seventeen guns and howitzers . The battle lasted for three hours , and during that time occurred many displays of cool and determined valour almost unparalleled in modern warfare . Victory at last declared for the British army ; eleven ' . guns , and nineteen standards were taken ; about 1 , 000 of the enemy were killed , and 4 , 000 wounded . Shere Mahomed escaped , but was hotly pursued by the Indian Horpe , and little doubt remained that be would speedily be captured . "

      The character of this gratifying" victory may bo estimated by any mind possessing an atom of Christian or honest feeling , from the following description given by a Correspondent of the Bombay Courier : — ] " Thus ended a splendid fight , in which our loss has necessarily been very severe , about 300 killed and wounded , out of which the gallant 22 ud have lost 145 , inoluding five or six officers . They had to assault the strongest part by far , and they did it right well . I was by Sir Charles' side the whole time until I went with the Poona Horse . He rode in among the 22 nd and waved his hat , calling out at the same time " 22 nd , charge . " We found a ramp in the

      nullahs by which we were enabled to cross on horseback , the Beloohees fighting all the time desperately . We then came right shoulders forward and brought a flanking iire on them and slew them in hundreds-I was nearly blown ! up by one of the enemy ' s magazines ; however , I fortunately escaped with a slight burning . Sir Charles is a splendid General , and exposed himself the whole of the fight where the shot were flying thickest . Altogether the General is justly proud of the festilt of the battle , but of course much regrets thn loss of the poor unfortunate but gallant 22 nd , who certainly sustained the brunt of the battle . Not a Bklooch wa . 8 spa . red » the soldiers shot and bayoneted them in such a manner as is seldom witnessed . "

      O rare , Christian England ! How soon shalt thou evangelize , the world ! Sir C Napier has published a rampant piece of fustian about the matter in the form of " an address to the troops !" The fallen rulers of Scinde reached Bombay on the 19 th April , on board of HM . ' s sloop ^ Nimrod : Open carriages were in attendance , and an escort of cavalrv accompanied them to their place of residence . The Ameers , being prisoners of state , are retained in strict seclusion . They are described ac broken-hearted anil miserable men , —maintaining much of the dignity of fallen greatness , and without any querulous or angry complainings at this unalleviable source of sorrow , refusing to be comforted , —the very picturesjof unmingled grief and hopeless

      despondency . Poor Meer Roostum of Kliyrpoor , so long our ally , the first Soindian chief who ventured to express his admiration of us , and to desire our friendship—by much the most intelligent and hardly dealt with of them all—recognised Captain Del ' Hoste in a moment , and embraced him : in a paroxysm of the deepest ; emotion . Captain Del' Hoste had fed with him , and had lived with him for months , and be now looked on him as the only friend he had in a land of strangers .
