YESTERDAY morning the indications, although a peaceable result had been hoped for, wero of a character most discouraging and disheartening to the order-loving citizens of Montreal, for it appeared to every onc that as it were we were sitting on a powder magazine, which might at any moment ex- lode and do an incalculable amount of injury.From an early hour the streets were lined with people, many of them strangers and roughs of the hardest description, most of them well provided with ammunition, and all of them ready for any emergency.Victoria square was densely packed with these Macawber-like individuals, who, to Use an Americanism, wore \u2018apoiling for a fight ;\u2019 and St James street, in the vicinity of the Orange Hall was given up to as unprepossessing a sot of mortals as ever gathered together.Probably the streets were never before so thronged with an excited populace.Indeed, many people feared to pass up and down tho streets, especially in viow of the low mutterings as to what they intended to doin case of a row.These men, it must be stated, did not all belong to the one side, but the worst clements generally appeared to have deemed it a fitting opportunity to assert themselves at least by their resence.In viow of possible contingencies, it was expected that the police authorities would bave taken precautions to prevent these congregations, and that the orders of the police to \u2018move on!\u2019 would have been everywhere heard and compliance everywhere insisted upon.But the contrary was the policy pursued.The Orangemen, with a view to carry out their agreement, left their lodge room by twos and threes, and quietly proceeded to Knox Church to listen to the annual sermon, The congregation was but small, the majority of the brethren remaining outside in view of possible contingencies.Rev Charles A.Doudiet, Deputy Grand Chaplain Supreme Grand Lodge of British America, and Grand Chaplain of Grand Lodge of the Province of Quebec, who offl- ciated, wore the regalia of the Order, and a number of people in the body of the Church carried Orange lilies, several ladies being noticeable.The sermon hed was from Acts 24:0 and Acts 25:10-11, and was an able discourse.Meanwhile, as if with the intention of ristors.ad Ocncemsion of Elgin.Prop \u2018meetin the Orangemen, & movement had been made up tonards the church, by those | who had packed the stroets.However, no j collision oecurrod there, no ground of offence : baving been given.At the conclusion of! tho service a collection was taken up for the relief of the 8t John sufferers, a liberal re | ; sponse being made to the appeal in thoir | behalf.! The service ovor, each ono made his way homewards or down town, but as tho fomale portion of the community have often precipitated and brought on crises, which otherwise might not have occurred, 50 in this iu- stance was the first difficulty duo to one of them.Coming down Beaver lall Hill a Joung lady carried an orange lily on her reast, to which persons on tho street ob jected.They gatherod round her and gesticulated wildly, some of them using remarks of a most insulting character to the female, whose companions in order to protect her hurried her into a store on RRadegondo street.Before, however, this was effected soveral blows were exchanged and one individual, dressed in gray clothes, who had acted as: one of the womun\u2019s protectors, was compelled to take to his heels in tho direction ot Victoria Squaro, where lie ran the risk of being very roughly handled but managed by dodging to avoid injury.About half-past one tho firing of pistols commenced resulting in the killing of one man, Hackott, and the wounding of several others among them ono Mahor, who had several fingers shot off; Giroux, the lacrosse player, badly wounded in the face and neck ; Morrison, hurt about the head, and Charles Boon, shot in the neck and chin, There are so many stories as to the shooting of Ilackett, that we prosent to our readers several of them.One of them says that two women mot in Victoria Square, in tho neighborhood of Fortification Lane, ono of thom wearing an Orange lily.\"I'he other ordered her to take it out, which was refused, and a tussle ensued between them for the possession of tho flower.Eventually a crowd gathered, whon a man in light clothes interfered, but gotting in danger rushed for Dunn\u2019s store into which he tried to enter but the door was locked.Several men ran up the steps to pull him down, when a shot was fired which was followed by several others, tho unfortunato man llackott falling down dead.Shots wero fired about this time in several parts of Victoria Square and much excitement provuiled.It was during this sumo mcleo that the other parties who were wounded received their injurios, The police, who were not upon the square, were at once sont for, and coming down in force there was no further firing, a detachment being left to patrol tho locality.Later on in the afternoon there was a smart shower of rain, which dispersed many of the people and no more difficulty of importance occurred, though there wore several trifling altercations, STATEMENTS BY ON- LOOKERS, Mr William Robb, City Auditor, «aid :\u2014 As 1 was passing through Victoria Square, about half-past one o'clock, I saw a large crowd of men rushing towards Clendinneng's block.No emblems were worn by any one.1 afterwards made particular enquiry on this point, and ascertained that none had been worn by any one.Several men sct upon a young man and beat him severely.He got away, when one of them caught him by the tail of his coat and pummelled at him, Notwithstanding that, two or three others set upon him and then some one fired a shot, which was followed by at least a dozen other shots in all directions.The shooting caused the crowd to disperse, and I saw tho young man fall dead upon the pavement.As soon as he fell the crowd surrounded him.Two policemen (Soutter and Crowe) then came up and took charge of the body until an express waggon came up and took the body away.The constables behaved very quietly, and did their best to disperse the crowd.I was lod to understand that tho shooting camo down from Messrs Dunn's steps, and one man said he saw the smoke coming out of Messrs Dunn's doorway.A man named Giroux was shot in the check, and I think it is more than likely that others wero injured, unless the shots were fired into the ground.Soon afterward Chief Penton came up with a body of police, and dispereed the crowd.\u2018rancis Brazeau, storeman to Messrs Mc Intyre, French & Co., 15 Victoria Square, said about half-past one o'clock I saw a young man running along from Craig street.He fell somewhere in front of this store, but icked himself up again, and rao into Forti- Beation Lane, where he was pushed about by the crowd.I saw him come bacl to the corner of this building with two young men holding him, and 1 think they must have got away safe.The crowd wus too great for me to distinguish him.I then saw a tall, fair-baired man run up tho steps of! Messrs Robert Dunn & Co., next door, fol- | lowed by a crowd.One of the crowd had a horse pistol in his band.Immediately afterwards 1 heard a largo number of shots fired, and fearing trouble I re-entered the store, and closed and fastencd the outer door.This statement was substantially corroborated by the clerks of the firm.Mr Whitton, salesman to Messrs Robert Dunn & Co., and two other gentlemen of the firm gave the following account of what occurred.The mob had been gradually augmenting sinco ten o'clock, and by one o'clock bundreds of them were lying and lounging about inside the square.À short timo afterwards while they were engaged at their duties à stoutly built young man of fair complexion, and attired in light grey clothes, ran up tho steps followed by the mob, many of whom bore revolvers.He was apparently alone.One of his pursuers was beating him about the head with a stick and another struck him in the face with his clenched fist.Tho unfortunate young man endeavored to gain admittance through the inside glass door which had just been closed, and held up his hands partly for protection and partly in & manner as though begging for admittance., Directly afterwards a number of shots were fired, Several of the sbots entered tho building.The young man then turned and ran down the steps and disappeared follow- | ed by tho crowd.Three shots struck the coiling 80 feot from tho door.Another ovi- dently discharged from a horse pistol passed through tho loft band patel of the door, which is composed of plate glass, and it would appear, passed straight through the\u2019 storo and struck the inside shutter of a window of the inside office, removing about two 'up to tho bod inches of paint, found about 12 or 15 feet from the wall, It is about an ounce

Lagauchotiore street, who was Gleason, When the man in the velvet coat picked up tho weapon, he turned deliberately round and fired another shot at the victim, who Iay bleeding at his side in the throes of death.Immediately after this murderous act, tho party statcs that another man, who, of all, must be a double-dyed villain, walked and deliberately kioked it.ing at the time, came up and found that SR for the past three years to a religious Sun- y magazine, \u2014in fact was \u201ca quiet, steady youth, a good young man in every respect.\u201d OTHER INCIDENTS.After the fatal affray in

affair : \u2014As well as I can recollect 1 was passing the corner of Fortification Lano and Victoria Square with two of my friends whon I saw a young man lying on his faco with a crowd of fellows around him, several of whom wero kicking him as hard as they could, I said, in a qnict way, \u201cFor God's sako lot him up, you bave nearly killed him.\u201d They took no heed of mo, and | then pulled a fellow away who was kicking tho prostrate man on thie head.No sooner had I done this than they went for me.Tho young man appeared lo got away.My object was then to fight my way out of the crowd.Thinking my best plan was to get into a doorway, I just put my head down and fought my way through the crowd into a doorway, when two shots were fired.Then I got into the porch and dragged my way up tho stops.The other young man was pulled down the steps, | laid firm hold of the handlo of the door, and thus prevented them from pulling me down also.After that a couplo of shots wero fired, and thinking that I also would be shot, I bogged of thoso inside \u201cfor tiod\u2019s sake to let me in,\u201d but they would not, I saw two or three of them dodging among tho bales of goods in order to evade the shots, but they made no attempt to let mo in, although some persons among the crowd cried, \u201clet him in!\u201d \u201cLet him in!\u201d T was all but exhausted when a stout built Frenchman, whom 1 be- liove is employed in Shaw's auction rooms, Craig street, camo round and told the crowd who lonked like going for mo again, that I was shot, and that thoy had done enough to me.He then took me by the arm and led me around to Fortification Lane, I then proceeded to my father\u2019s office.Mr Honshaw, at tho time of our reporter's visit, was suffering from a severe contusion of

a ro- volvor shot, As proviously stated, a large number of Orangomen, accompaniod by the Orange Young Britons and their band, spent the day in Corawall.They roturned by tho train roaching the St Bonaventure station, at balf past nine, and by the thoughtful ad.vicoof MrKirkham, left tho train at the Tanneries Junction, thoreby avoiding n possible conflict at tho dopot, where a larger crowd of persons than is ordinarily tho rule wero congregated.Shortly after 8 o'clock a row took placo on St Josoph street between several men on tho vceasion of the disturbances of the day.\u2018They soverely

their own interests and those of humanity.The majority of tho employees in several of theso establishments are Catholics, and in tho majority of casos the men romained at work, llowever, certain rostless spirits, both Catholic and Protestant, abstained from work, and con- sequontly were noxt day discharged.In Mr McDougall's foundry, Seigneurs street, threu absented themaolvos, two Catholics and one Protestant.In Messrs H.R.Ives & Co.'s largo establishment 37 men absonted thom- aclvos, thirty-five Catholics and two Protestants.ACTION OF THE ORANGEMEN.In the evening a largely attended mass meeting of Orangomoen was held in the Hall, Mr D.Grant, County Master, occupying the chair.Several resolutions were passed condemning the bad faith with which the Irish Catholics had kept the agreemont resolved upon, as while they had turned out most of the Urangemen wero at work.A Commit- toe was appointed to look aftor Hackett and seo about the tho attendance at his funeral.It was decided to found 8 new lodge to be named \u2018Hackett\u2019 Lodge.The following resolutions wore unanimously adopted : \u2014 First.\u2014Whereas the Urangemen of Montreal, with that Christian forbearance, so characteristic of the Orange Association, and at the earnest entreaty of tho representatives of various national and benevolent societies of this city, determined to forego the celebration of this day by a public pro- Cession ; And Whereas, the aforesaid reprosonta- tives Flodged their word of honor that they would take such steps as would preventany innults being offered to women or children going to or returning from church, and also to restrain their co-religionists from making any demonstration of an insulting or riotous character ; And, Whereas, tho aforesaid roprosenta- tives having failed to koep their word, so sacredly given, but, on the contrary, allow- od the streets of the city to be monopolized by a rabble of disloyal and disorderly ruf fians, organizod for the special purpose of insulting and assaulting peaceable and loyal citizens, male and female, and, finally, committing the most dastardly and crucl mar- der ever perpetrated in the city,\u2014 We, the Orangemen of Montreal, declare that wo can no longer place the slightest reliance upon any profession of peace and good-will that may at any future period be addressed to us, and that wo shall take sach messures as will efoctually protect us from the assaults of such cowardiy and bloodthirsty rufians ; and henceforth we shall not only claim, but exercise, the right to parade the streets of Montreal in the same manner as other societies.And, farther, no threats of violence from enemies, or en- treatios of false friends, shall ever influence our counsels in the fatare.Whereas, the Orangemen of ious young mau, baving \"been, as we are foformed by a city book-geller, & subscriber Second, Montreal, in the exercise of thoir rights to mas man et Vpn pee Ee ME - ve norme 27e Re) A i + hold a procession to church, wore threatened with violence and bloodshed by the members of a certain Roman Catholic Society, known as the Irish Catholic Union, and having made application to His Worship the Mayor, and soveral other magistrates, upon sworn affidavits, for civil and military protection ; .And, Whereas, both Mayor and magistrates refused to grant such protection, and allowed a lawless rabble of ruffians to congregate in thousands in the streets and squares of the city, during the greater part of the day, menacing the lives of orderly and peaceable peoplo, and endangering the peace of the city ; And, Whereas, no measures were taken to disperse these crowds, consequently, riot and murder resnlted from want of proper measures being taken by the Mayor to preserve peace and order ; We, therefore, hold the Mayor to be in the highest degree culpable of all tho evils that bave occurred, and morally guilty of the murder perpetrated in our midst.THE DAY AFTER.\u2018The city was very much excited all Satur day, and the Mayor's conduct was univers ally condemned, The St George, St Androw, and lrish Protestant Benevolent Socicties held crowded meetings of members, and unanimously voted to turn out and walk with tho Orangemen in the funeral proces sion.The coroner's jury proceeded to take evidence, when two doctors testified that) the head of Hackett bore the marks of many blows, apparontly kicks or knocks | from a hard substance, and that he had been twico shot at.The first bullet entered the forehead near the right eye causing death within a few minutes.The second shot was behind the left shoulder.Two Catholics were arrested.One, James Farrell, had the revolver of tho deceased in his possession, which he said he bad picked up after the murder, and Jack Sheehan, a notorious ruffian, for drawing a revolver on a Protestant on the Twelfth.In the afternoon the corpse of Hackett was laid out in Orange Hall, and viewed by thousands.All were surprised by his youthful look and the slightness of his body.Mackenzie telegraphed from Ottawa to the Mayor, offering the services of the military at the funeral, but the Mayor refused the offer.SUNDAY was a stirring day with the Orangomen within a wide circle of Montreal.In the afternoon they met in Victoria Hall, this village, when it was unanimously agreed as many as possible should go to the funeral.A subscription to help to defray expenses was raised and teams to convey them to Port Lewis freely tendered.THE FUNERAL.From every quarter, Orangemen kept uring into Montreal from an early hour.From Ottawa came 900, by the Grand Trunk 1500, while over 200 came from the Hemmingford District, and 80 from the Huntingdon lodge.No disturbance took place while moving into tho city.In default of the Mayor's doing so, five magistrates called out the volunteers, who, to the number of 900, were under command of Col, Fletcher.At haif-past two the procession formed opposite the Orange tal St James street.First came the Young Britons and part of the Montreal Orange.men, next the Kingston and Belleville brethren, succeeded by the Ifemmingford, Have- lock, Franklin, and Hantingdon Orange- men, followed by tho Brockville and Ottawa district brethren.The officers of the Grand and county lodges, including Mr Breadner, walked before the hearse, which was drawn by 4 horses, and the same as used at Gui- bord's funeral.Tho coffin was wrapped in the Union Jack and rested upon and was covered with flowers, sent in ow the ladies of the city.The members of Boyne lodge, to which deceased belonged, walked in front of the hearse, and the pall-bearers were prominent Orangemen, friends of deceased.The chief mourners wero his brother and uncles, After them came St George's Society, St Andrew\u2019s, \\Irish Protestant, Cale- donian, United Protestant Working Men, and finally the citizens.5000 in all walked in procession.The sidewalks and windows were crowded with spectators, it being estimated 20,000 were looking on.As the procession moved past the corner of McGill and St James streets, a gang of Catholic rowdies was met.When the Orangemen passed their expressions of disapproval and taunts amounted to nothing short of a threat or challenge.When the Orange flag went by the language was the coarsest it was possible to conceive.An American gentleman, who formerly did business on McGill street, give no offence, how they waived their legal right to have a procession, and how dastardly they bad been used, furnishing another in- stanco of the Catholic rule that no faith is to be kept with heretics.In moving terms he alluded.to Haekett\u2019s murder, declaring good would spring from it and that a fuller measure of civil aud religious liberty would be the result.He said : \u201cWe would have healed the sore diasen- sions of tho past, and how have we been met ?Let the spirit of Thomas Lett Hack- ott answor from the grave where we havo laid him ?With a gravor of steel let the occurrencos of the last fow days be written on the granite obelisk that will mark our brother's last resting place, that, in the days | to come, our children may clearly under: stand tho origin of tho coming struggle for tho equal rights it is our glory to claim, to, fight for, and, if need be, to die for, under the glorious constitution of the British\u2018 Empire, and which a certain dangerous class of men in this Province attempt to assail.; If our legislators are wise in time thatstry 4 gle may be a bloodless one, but if it is atill to be tho suicidal policy of protection to: one party, and no protection to the other, let tbe consequences rest upon the hoad of those who choose to ignore the value set by true Britons on religious and civil liberty.\u201d The anguish of the young brother of the! deceasod was most painful throughout the burial, and drew tears to overy eye.It was now late in tho day, and the procession hurriedly marched back to tho city, the\u2019 Orange fife and drum bands playing vigor | ously sush tunes as the Protestant Boys, ! Boyne Water, and Rise Sons of William, rise.At tho Orange Hall thoy broke up, the Grand Marshal advising them to go to their hotels quietly and to remember that, they did not come to Montreal to walk its, streets to show themselves, but to bury a \u2018service olosing earlier than expooted.\u201cThe Catholics held undisturbed possession of the Square, the authorities undoubtedly conniving with them.The police made no at.| tempt to clear it, and, tho\u2019 the purpose of the crowd was perfectly well known, the Mayor did not call out the Volunteers to guard against contingencies, Thus the forenoon passed, a mass of Catholics stationed in the chief contre of the city waiting to shed blood.Soon after one o'clock, un woman passed who happened to have an orange lily in a bouquet which she was carrying.She was set upon and was being grossly abusod whon a passer-by, Morrison, took her part.Tho woman's assailants turned upon him, and it was while they were beating him that poor Hackett, who was on his way back from ; church, came along.Altbo'a slim young man, he ran at once to holp Morrison, who got away.Hackett, howover, was knocked down and a Catholic was kicking him on the head when à young man in light clothes, : llenshaw, went to his rescue.He pulled the chief assailant away, enabling Hackett to get on bis feet.The crowd then turned on both the young men, who ran up some steps to enter a store for shelter.The door was locked, when their axssailants followed them, dragged thom down, and shot Hackett dead on tho spot.Ilenshaw, mainly through the presence of mind of a kind-hearted French Canadian named Duhamel, who declared ho was mortally wounded and had enough of it, escaped.Altho' an Orango- brother, who had been foully murdered, and man, Hackett wore no omblems, and it is they had done it (applause), and done it: not supposed his murderers know who or well, and would always do it.(Renewed yy.po yng, They wou!! have dune the applause.) They had not come to intimi- | date any one, but to assert a\u2019 right, and he| Amo to any one who intorfored, like him, could say, if ever they had to como to Montreal again for a similar purpose, woo to Montreal.Many of the Orangemen returned home | that night.The only trouble was at Point St Charles, whero a young Orangeman, i named Wm.Elliot, who used to live nour! Durham, but is now a resident of Lonnox- ville, got separated from his friends and; was set upon by a band of Catholics, cut by ; stones and shot in the back.lle was taken to hospital.lis wound is a bad one but vot likely to be fatal.The Hemmingford Orangemen returned home that night ; the Huntingdon brethren had to remain until Tuesday, when they came back by the St Francis, being received at Port Lewis by the Brass Band.Latest\u2014At the inquest ou Tuesday a witness swore that after Hackett was dead, he saw a man standing over the body, reading some papers he had taken out of his pocket, when he exclaimed \u201c Fo is a damned Orange- man.\u201d No elue has yet boen found as to who fired the fatal shot.Elliott is not quite 80 well and may not recover, unless the bullet can be extracted.|THE CANADIAN GLEANER is published every Thursday at noon.Subscription, $1.50 a-year in advance, postage free.Single copies, four conts each.One dollar pays for eight months\u2019

\u2018 Thx facts connected with the tragedy in Montreal are very few.On\u201ctho Tuesday evening before the Twelfth the Orangemen, at the unanimous and urgent solicitation of all the national societies and of the municipal authorities, consented to forego their expressed determination to walk, on the informed a Herald reporter that the language fairly made his blood boil, and but that he did not desire to foment a riot he should have knocked the fellow down.When the hearse was nearly opposite Mr Morgan's store one of the roughs made a threatening move, but his intention being detected by the Orange- men passing at the time, it was frustrated.The cortege came to a sudden balt, the files of Orangemen divided and faced either side of the street, and, hastily feeling for their pistols, created a panic amongst the lookers- on.Things a; to be dangerous for a moment.Quicker than it takes to relate, Col.Fletcher appeared at the head of a com- y of the Garrison Artillery with fixed yonets, the Vics.at their rear in case of an emergency.The crowd rushed to and fro in the most frantic manner, but the danger was over, for the moment the rowdies saw the military approaching they took to their heels and disappeared down St Antoine street.So threatening was the outlook that several ladies fainted at Lhe thought of bloodshed.One woman was injured by the crush, and taken home.The band resumed their playing of the Dead March, and no further interruption was met.At Christ Charch catbedral, the procession halted and opened, when the coffin was carried in, being received by Canon Baldwin and 11 other Spiscopal clergymen, in their surplices.Cathedral was draped and the funeral service was very solemnly rendered, the congregation singing the hymn, \u201cOh God, our help in ages past.\u201d The service over, the coffin was replaced in the hearse, and the procession wended its mournfal way to Mount Royal Cemetery.When the cortege reached the cometory gates, the Orangemen opened out, and, bareheaded, allowed the hearse, the chief mourners, and the National Societies to pass through.As the hearse passe, the standard-bearers of the several odges held their colors aloft at full arm's length, and dropped them gracefully and mopationlly over the hearse.e Master of Boyne Lodge read the Oraage burial service, and each man \u20ac area on the coffin.The Bev .A.Doudiet, after er, ressed the Brethren in most Lai dt terms.He epoke of the efforts © Urangemen to distinet understanding that they would not , bo insulted or menaced in any way in what- ; ever else thoy might do.Among those who entered into this agreement, wero the leading men of the Catholic Union, an associa.| tion of bigoted and intolorant Catholics of the lower classes.On the forenoon of the Twelfth a fair proportion of the Orungemen met at their hall on St James street, and, when the hour of service arrived, passed ont in twos and threes to Knox church, where the Rev Mr Doudiet was to preach.The Orangomen did not go to church in a body, bat passed along the sidowalk at intervals like other eitisens, wearing no regalia or Laymbolee The servico passed quietly, tho\u2019 there wis a crowd gathored near it, overawed probably by a detachment of police.The chæech is near Beaver Hall Hill, and on Victoria Square, which is not far distant, from early in the forenoon the Catholics began to gather.Their tacit consent in choosing Victoria Square as their place of rendesvous, and its convenient situation for making an attack on tho Orangemen at all tho points they bad to pass, indicate that the gathering on the Square was not accidental, buts part of a preconcerted plan, decided on by men of some judgment.This supposition is confirmed by the farther fact that al on the Square had revolvers, which was singular, seeing so many are the poorest of the poor, and that there was some degree of organization among them.There were, it ie eslimated, two thousand Cathoties assembled, waiting for their prey.Had the Orangemen given the slight- set provocation, or had thoy even passed in à body so as to be identified, they would un- donbtediy rave been massscred.Tho intention apparentiy was to attack them as they leit.ohursh, whish was defeated by the 1 .Kars, and evacuated Bayazid.with their brutal amusements of assaulting the Protostants who passed.liven after the murder was known, the Mayor refused to disperse the crowd and no steps whatever were taken to secure the perpotrators of the crime.It was late in the afternoon, b o'clock, before the Square was cleared and the Volunteers, called out it is reported by the officers in command, placed under arms.The occurrence is another of the multiplied proofs that Catholics in authority | are not to be depended upon to protect the lives and properties of Protestants.The Mayor undoubtedly sympathized with tho crowd so far, that he would have liked to have scen the Orangemen get a good thrashing.Barney Devlin, Meany, Kirwan, Car.ran, and others who havo influence over the class of men who filled tho Square, were conspicuous by their absence, as were also the priests.With this bare statement of facts we arc reluctantly compelled to leave the subject until next week, there being no space at our disposal for the comments which we had propared.TUE usual despatches from the seat of | war we are unablo to give from want of room.In Asia Minor the Turks have vic: toriously encountered the cnemy at every point and regained all the ground they lost.The Russians had to abandon the siege of It is now believed they have left Turkish soil entirely.The sudden and complete collapse of the Russian efforts is inexplicable, and we will have to wait for fuller despatches to throw light upon its causes.On the other hand, as if to compensate for their humiliation in the East, the Russians during the week have been highly successful in European Turkey.The town of Nickopolis, on the Danube, was assaulted and captured after a dreadful struggle.Its great value is that it enables the Russians to throw another pontoon bridge across the Danube, which is much needed in order to obtain supplies.A flying wing has crossed the Balkans snd threatens Adrianople.The Turks say the pass won is of littlo value, because heavy artillery cannot be dragged through it.The Russians had an engage.mont on the south side of the Balkans, resulting, the Turks say, in their defeat and retreat, while the Russians claim a decisive victory.The Russians are concentrating their forces with all 8 in Bulgaria and heavy fighting is inevitable.SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.AT a meeting held last evening (Wednes day,) Mr Andrew Somerville was elected Chairman and Mr A, McCallum re-elocted Secretary for the 23d year.ES HEMMINGFORD SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS, Tne following persons have been appointed School Commissioners at Hemmingford : Matthew Brown, Wm.Reay, Thomas Kyle, jor, Alex.Fiddes, and Wm.Glover, Chairman.\u2014ppa An inquest was

as has often beon his custom, wert down to the lake to fish on Saturday evew ing.His punt being found empty on Suny day morning, search was made, when the body was found.Itis supposed he is another victim of the liquor-traffio.Verdict, \u201cacci, ental drowning.\u201d On Wednesday, 11th, while a gang of ship laborers were passing the Quebec racks at Montreal, they insulted and threaten the sentry, who called out the guard.In d tussle with McKoown, one of tho gang, who tried to wrest his rifle away, the sentry's bayonet entered his shoulder, killing him.Both Catholics.McKeown\u2019s father is & pen\u2019 sioner, and, so far from blaming the sentry said \u2018 Had I been on duty myself 1 wou have done the same thing.\u201d The Twelfth passed quietly in Ontario, the States, and Ireland.At Charlottetdwn Prince Edward Island, there was a riot.Th Orangemen had a picnic and, on roturning, went to their hall, where they were dismissed.On leaving, the mob n fo throw stones, when the Orangemen fired à number of pistol shots, wounding two men and a Order was restored by the magistrate.LAYING OF TIE CORNER STONE OF THE ATHELSTAN CHURCH.Tux new church, in course of erection by the Presbyterians of Athelstan, having become sufficiently advanced for the ceremony of laying the corner-stone, it was arranged that it should take place on Thursday last.The Twelfth of July was chosen purposely, in order that tho Orangemen of the llunt.ingdon District might combine their celebration of the anniversary of the Victory of tho Boyne with the interesting event.To give additional oclat to the occasion, Colonol Bowell, M.P., of Belleville, Ont, Grand Master and Sovereign of the Orango Asso- ciution for British America, was invited to lay tho stone, and consonted to do so.Tho weather proved to be favorable, the morning boing bright and cool, a western breeze tempering the sun\u2019s rays.From an early hour a movement was to be noted on every road, and it was plain that the attend- anco was going to surpass that of any similar ocension ever known in the District.Colonel Bowell arrived at Athelstan on Wednesday evening, and on Thursday morning drove down, accompanied by Mr Bread- ner, Grand Master for Queboc, to Iunting- don, where he met the brethren of Nos 44 and 1454 in tho Lodge Itoom of the former.During the course of tho proceedings, the Grand Master announced to tho Brethren tho important ceromony in which thoy wore that day to engage, in those words : GRAND MASTER.\u2014Brethron, we are now about to perform an interesting and important coremony ; the laying of the Corner Stone of a new Church.The eyes of the outside world will bo upon us.Jt therefore bohoves all to be circumspect in what we do, and implicitly obey the orders that may be given.The Grand Director of Core- monies will now form the procession, which will bo under his sole direction and control until its roturn to the Lodge Room.The Lodge was then closed, and the Brethron, under the direction of Bro.Isaac Gardner, Grand Director of Ceremonics, formed on tho front street, constituting ono of the largest and most respectable processions ever made by them in \u2018this place.Headed by the Iluntingdon Cornet Band, the procession passed through the chiof streets of the village, and then took its way towards Athelstan.After Methodist church there was a halt, owing to one of the wheels of tho buggy in which Colonel Bowell and Mr Breadner were seated sticking in its box.Another buggy was soon got and the array went on, being mot at Atholstan by tho Brethren of the other lodges in the lluntingdon District.The lodges present wero as follows : No +4, Huntingdon, Bro.Chas.Marshall, M.D., Master.No 871, Goro, ILinchinbrook, Bro.Charles Coulter, acting Master.No 90, Franklin, Bro.Richard Waller, .Master.No 1447, Elgin, Bro.John S.Elder, Master.No 1454, Ormstown, Bro.William Greer, Mastor.The members of the two new lodges, Nos 1447 and 1454, presented a most creditable appearance, and, though not yet strong in numbers, are composed of men who will bring strength and add to tho reputation of the Order.The Huntingdon lodge, No 44, is the strongest now in the county, if not in the Province, it having 125 members on its roll.Arrived at the site of the new church, the noxt business of the day was dinner, for which the ladies of the Athclstan congregation had amply provided.The new church is being built at the east end of the village, opposite Mr John Elder's, on a slightly rising piece of ground.It was begun in May and tho stone-work is completed, reaching to the lovel of the body of the church.It consists of a basement, built of stone, with a ceiling 10 feet high, and the church proper, built of brick, the ceiling of which will bo 20 feet high.The size of the building is 66 by 42 feet, with a tinned spire over 70 feet from the ground-level.Tho church will be the next largest Protestant place of worship in the county of Ilunting- don, and, with end-gallery, will seat comfortably over 400.Tho architect is Mr Robert Middlemiss, and the contractor Mr Charles Levers, who is to receive $6,500 for his work, which does not include heating apparatus or tho seating of the basement, 80 that the total cost will not be less than $7,000.Of this amount tho congregation have subscribed close upon $5,000, which redounds to their liberality.The mason.work has been done by Mr Archd.Adams, genr., who has made a substantial job of it, and the brick-work has been begun.Mr Levers is to have his contract completed by the 15th of February.The dinner was laid in the basement of tho mew church, along which five tables were stretched, scat- ing 250.It was past 11 o\u2019clock when the Orangemen reached the ground, and as they did so thoy filed into dinner.The arrange monts for the accommodation of the crowd were very poor.There was only one way of ingress and egress provided to the basement, caning much delay in filling the tables and in letting those who had dined out.Tho result was that there was great crushing at the ontrance, causing loss of temper and, it was reported, somo injury to several ladics.Many who had come a distance got no dinner at all, and many went back to the village to try and get something to eat.No attempt had been made to pro- vido soats in tho grove, so that the ladies wore kopt standing during the length of a hot and dusty day.It was the same at the laying of tho corner-stone, no provision whatever having beon made in the way of stands or even to clear the space in front of building material, so as to enable those who attended to see the ceremony to which they had been invited.Of tho extent of the crowd it is impossible to give an mccarate ostimate.Itis believed that about 1,500 took dinnor, which would indicate an attendance of, at least, 2,000.There were 225 Orangemen, bat many more, who are not now in connection with any lodge, wore theircolors.At the entrance to the grounds, an evergreen arch was erected.All the windows of the bail were broken, ; At2 o'clock the Orangemen proceeded passing they back to the field at the butler factory, where they formed in procession in the following order.- Tyler, Bro.Arohd.W.Cameron Union Jack Huntingdon Bras Band Orange Brethren\u2014twe and two Banner Purple Brethren\u2014two and two Blue Banner Officers of Lodges who are membess of the District Lodge Scarlet Banner Scarlet Companions\u2014iwo and two Chaplain of Grand Chaplain Chaplain of Private Lodge Bro.J, J.Casey Private Lodge Grand Treasurer Grand Master & Grand Becretary Bro.J.Droadues } Bovereign { Bro.Jas, Barr Two Brethren with Orange Rods To those standing at the new church, the approach of the procession was heralded by the clouds of dust and the faint sounds of the music.The sun at the timo was beating down his rays with great force from a clear sky, except that at the western horizon were gathering the clouds which ended in a shower a fow hours after.Soon the front ranks of the procession, gay in their Oran scarfs and flaunting banners, and the shrill music of the fifes and drums, succeeded the more sonorous sounds of the brass band.Tho measured step of the tyler and the soldierly figure of the Director ot Ceremonies, mounted on a grey horse, were notable.On the head of the procession reaching the entrance to the grounds, it halted, and opencd ranks, when, after some delay, the Grand Officers were soon walking up between them, the brethren saluting the Grand Master who had Bro.Breadner on his right, as ho passed.The only regalia the Grand Master wore, was a collar rich with gold embroidery and a narrow orange ribbon; he carried a gavel in his right hand.The Grand Officors ascended to the platform whore the corner-stone was to laid, which was at the south-west corner of the building and in one of the buttresses.The Orangemen grouped themselves in front, as best they could, forming a promiscuous array, and for the crowd, few of them could soa what was being done, and fewer still hear a single word.On the platform, beside the Grand Officers, were the following clergymen : Revs W.A.Jobnston, J.8.Lochend, J, B.Muir, J.Patterson and J.Watson.The Brass Band played the National Anthem,when the Rev F- Watson stepped forward and said he had been asked to give out, on this solemn and interesting occasion, the 2d version of the 102d Psalm, which he would call on Mr Buchanan to load.The Psalm having been sung to the tane of Old Lochead would read the lesson, Isaiah 28 : 16-19.The pastor of the congregation, the Rev J.J, Casey, said the Rev J.B.Muir would lead in prayer, which he did as fol.ows : Almighty God, who art the Architect and Governor of the Universe, we desire, in the spirit of true devotion, humbly and rever- ontly to adore Thy glorious name.We ac- knowledgo that Thon hast a property in us and sovereignty over ns, for Thou art the creator of our bodies and the Father of our

power that guided the wise men of the Fas} stone of this church, to be erected in b of the Great Grand Master above, and to perpetuate the principles of our Loyal Pro.teatant Order, but before performing that ceremony I feel it incumbent upon me to state that the Loyal Orange Association is formed by and composed of persons desirous of supporting, to the utmost of their power, the principles and practice of the Christian religion, to maintain the laws sad Constitution of the country, afford assistance to distressed mombers of the Order, and otherwise promote such laudablo and benevolent pur.sos as may tend to the duc ordering of ligion and Christian Charity -and the supremacy of Law, Order, and Constitution! Freedom.be \u201d 1ts members associate in honor of Kin William IIL, Prince of Orange, whose name they bear and whose immortal memory they hold in reverence, tending as he did, under Divino Providence, to the overthrow of the most oppressive Bigotry, and the restoration of pure Religion and Liberty.They revere the memory of that immortal Prince, not only a8 a Patriot, a Constitutional Monarch and a Hero, but as a true Christian; and hope, in the adoption of his name, to emulate bis virtues, by maintaining Religion without Persecution, or trenching upon the rights of any.he Orange Society lays no claim to exclusive Loyalty or exclusive Protestantism ; but it admits no man within its pale whose rinciples are not Loyal, and whose creed is not Protestant.Disclaiming an intolerant spirit, the Society demands, as an indispensable qualification, without which the greatest and the wealthiest may seek admission in vain, that the candidate shall be deemed incapable of persecuting or injuring any one on account of his religious opinions ; the duty of every Orangoman being to aid and defend ali loyal subjects, of every religious persuasion, in the enjoyment of their constitutional rights.Tho Rules of the Society are open not only to members of the institution, but to tho whole community.The Association is general, not confined to any particular place, person or nation, but oxtends itaclf where- ever a Loyal Protestant Briton is to be found, to the rematest corners of the globe, for the establishment of Protestant Faith and British Liberty to the latest ages of posterity.Its whole Institution is one neighborhood, within which every Orange- man is at home, in the farthest part of the world ; and such is the mechanism of the Association, that while its operations are thus extended, its every movement is alike felt and answered in every part.In short, the Orange Institution, like a glorious moral luminary, is intended to pour its refulgence, not on one part only of the ample circumference of the British Dominions, but simultaneously on every por- ton, equally enlightening the whole peri: phery.In many quarters, where the true nature of the Orange Institution is not properly known, its designs and objects have by some been misunderstood, and by others misrepresented.From the name it bears\u2014being connected in every one\u2019s mind with the history of parties in Ireland, some are apt to suppose that its sphere is necessarily confined to that country ; not reflecting that an instrument which has been chiefly used there to suppress Robellion, repel Invasion, and secure Domestic Tranquility, may be found equally efficacious by loyal men of all countries, in protecting their lives, liberties and properties.The Society is constituted upon the broadest principles of National Freedom.It takes its stand upon the lorious principles of the Revolution of 688 ; it lays its foundation in the field of British Liberty, it disdains the badge of Faction, and knows no emblem save \u201cThe Altar and the Throne.\u201d The Grand Chaplain, Bro.J.J.Casey, then said : Let us invoko the Divine Blessing upon the work in which we are now ongaged, and read the following Prayer : Wo besecch Thee, O Lord, to hear our prayers ; and that Thou would deign to less: this edifice which Thy servants design to erect to Thy glory, and enable them to maintain those principles won by King William III, w victory at the Boyno overthrew a system of Religion which was fast enveloping the world in religious.darkness, and restored the pure religion of the Bible, which we have found a marvelous light\u2014to the end\u2014that Thy servants may be true and valiant defenders of the Queen, the Constitution and the Protestant Faith ; grant, O Lord, that they may be dreaded 00s to those who would injure them ; and that should rathless hands ever again be laid upon Thy holy Word, may the sword, drawn in its defence, be sheathed only in victory and mercy, through the Grace of Jesus Christ Our Lord.BaerRREN.\u2014Amen.The acting Grand Treasurer, Bro.Bread- ner, then read the record to be deposited in the stone, of which this is a copy : HISTORICAL RECORD OF THE ATHELSTAN PRES- BYTEMAN CHURCH.This congregation began its career in the ear of our Lord 1834.At that date the Presbytor of Montreal, in connection with the Church of Scotland, ordained and inducted to the pastoral charge of the united congregations of Huntingdon, Elgin, and Athelstan, the Rev.Montgomery Walker, who continued to discharge the duties of its tor until the year 1844, when he went Back to Scotiand.Ho was suocoeded in the pastorate by Rev.Alexander Wallace, 8 native of Glasgow, educated at Queen's Col- 1 in;

Bro.Casey, pronounced the benediction, and the ceremony ended.Tho band struck up the \u201cRed, White and Blue,\u201d and the crowd moved towards the grove, where a platform had been erected.The Rev.J.J.Casey moved, seconded by Mr Breadner, that Julius Scriver, Eeq., M.P., take the chair, which was carried with applauee.The CHAIAMAN said he had great plessure in being with them, for many reasons.Among them because it gave him an oppor- tanity of meeting so many of his constituents, and not only them bat also so many of the Indies.In canvassing and holding meetings members ouly saw thoso who had votes, bat he knew no reason why the fran.chîte should not be extended to the fairer portion of creation.(Applause and laughter.) He would say to the Orangemen, Le win glad 10 most them.He had been glad to meet them on previous similar occasions \u2014 him pleasure to see them comprise such a large and intelligeat body of men, and also that they bad, that day, met not only to celebrate a day fraught with great memories to them, but to do good in another way \u2014to afford to the ladies an opportunity of making a nice sum of money for a good object and aiding in laying the corner stone of an edifice to be dedicated to the worship of Almighty God.He desired to congratulate the congregations who were building it, on the prospect of having a church that would not only meet all their wants, but be an ornament.He liked to see good schools in every community, and after them good churches, bath large and handsome.Wesley said he did not believe in the Devil having a monopoly of all the good tunes, and he \u2018(the Chairman) did not believe in all the best buildings being dedicated to secular purposes.While in favor of commodious and handsoms churches, he nover advised a congregation to undertake more than they were able to bear and to avoid having a heavy debt.From what be knew of the coat of the church the Athelstan congregations had undertaken and of their cireum- stances, he was free to say he did not think they had undertaken more than they can do.It was time for them to build a new charch, Their old one had bocome too small and contrasted unfavorably with the fine houses which so many of the farmers now possessed.ln speaking thus he did not refer slightingly to the old building, Which had intectwined with it many interesting associations, which appealed to the recollection of those who had so long worshipped the God of their fathers, from Sunday to Sanday, within its walls.Many before him had their ohildron baptized there, perhaps saw thoir sons or daughters married, so that, however deficient, the old church must ever possess valued associations to them.Admitting all this, circumstances had rendered it high time they should sot about doing what they had done so nobly.As the programme was a long one, he would say no more, but call on the Rev.J.S.Locuxan, of Valleyfield, who said ho soed hardly tell them he had great pleasure in being present.It was, indeed, a day of rejoicing to the members of the Athelstem congregation, and one to which they had long locked forward with hope.They were now fairly embarked in the noble undertaking of raising an edifice wherein they would hold communion with their God and Father.Altho' the amount required had not been all subscribed, yet it would be got.They would feel richer for what they had given, and would contribute again.They should have no anxiety ns to the debt The two Presbyterian congregations were united in building the church, and he hoped that, when it was opened, they would be united altogether and have become cne congregation.He called upon them to stand by the Building Committee, and, instead of finding fault, encourage them by the prompt and pleasant way in which they contributed of their means.A year since he had \u2018ceased to be their pastor mainly in order to promote the union which was now about being consummated, and, after five months of a vacancy, they had had placed overthem a faithful servant of the Lord, and he was glad to know that a blessing had folowed his labors.During \u2018his (the speaker's) incumbency, 115 had been added to tle roll of members, altho\u2019 during the same period, many had beon called away.Hb concluded by exhorting all to be faithful to God and to those princi.plee of civil: ard religious liberty which ave come down to us stained with the blood of men of whom the world was not worthy.(Appituse.) The Rev.Janus WaATsoN said Mr Loc- head had gone of the ficld at Athelstan and had left abundant proof of his labors, and ho was going asfast as he could, so that the two congregatichs might be united.Tho day reminded tiem of the great revolution in the British Enpire by which the blessings of civil and religious liberty bad been secured to it.The revolution of 1688 had secured to every member of that Empire the right to worship God sccording to his own conscience.He trusted they would ever continue not only td maintain that right but to make a good wie of it.The Orangemen had done go in ore way that day by aiding in the raising of :a building to the worship of Almighty God Hoe felt extreme delight at the spirit in which the good work had been undertakenand would do his best to aid it on to succesful completion.He had retired from the:Athelstan charge because he wished to help on juet such a work as they had seen thit day so well begun.He believed Mr C&ey had been called not merely by the cangregation but by Provi- denoe to be theirpastor.(Applause.) Dr.Camnnow, M.P.P.,on coming forward was received with applause.He said, that after listening so long to auch able addresses be felt it would be an infringement on his part to detain thé audience for any length of time by his remarks.He desired to do little more than express his pleasure at being present with his friends and helping in forwarding them in their good work.That day, to his mind, would form a new era in the history of the place, and its great event recallod the past and foreshadowed the future, while they bad set an oxample other localities might emulate.Not so very long ago had the corner stone of the old church been Inid.Where were the men who took the lead in that?Many had gone to their rest, after serving their day and gencration, leaving footprints behind them and lessons which hud not been lost and were not forgoiten.In that old charch seed had been sown in rich soil, which was now bringing forth fruit.He hoped the future would be as satisfactory and that even greater things might be accomplished.When Time had sot its mark of ruin and decay on the edifice whose corner stone they and hoped to meet them again.It gave had that day iaid, be trusted generations yet unborn would thankfally remember tho! memories of those who raised it as they did those of the men of the past.As Lo the second object of their gathering that day, he would say very little, because ho was not identified with the organization which celebrated the Battle of the Boyne.He could not speak of it as thoso do who know ils history and principles.He belioved, however, its principlos were established on justice and ita object was to promote the integrity of society ; to conserve and build up rathor than to destroy.Its principles, he understood, inculcated first loyalty to the great Lawgiver of the Universo, and, in the second place, loyalty to the Sovoreign and to good equitable laws.These principles it ought to be every man\u2019s boast to maintain, and he had every confidonco that, if occasion required, Orangemen would be true to their principles, that they would sooner sacrifice ifo than honor, and that they could say with truth of their principles there would, on their part, be \u201cNo Surrender.\u201d (Applause.) The Rev.James PATTERsos of Homming- ford declared the Presbytery of Montreal, within whoso bounds they were met, wore to be congratulated at the laying of the corner stone of such an odifice, and tho congre- Estion also at baving such distinguished strangers with them to perform the ccre- mony, The day they wero celebrating was one teeming with associations of tho past and hopes as to the future, and ho wont an to dilato on the bonofts of tho civil and re ligious liberty which the victory of the Boyne had secured.While the reverend gentleman was speaking, a shower of rain fell, which caused many to leave.The Rev.J.B.Muir expressed his pleasure at secing so many of all the differont denominations uniting in the day's proceedings.Ho had overheard one man say the corner stone had been laid to tho glory of God and the glory of Old Ireland\u2014 (laughter)\u2014and though ho had used to be of the opinion that a Scotchman wus the best specimen of a man there was in the world, after what he had seen that day ho had como to think that an Irishman was as good if not better.(Applause and laughter.) 1lo rejoiced at the prospects the (wo Athelstun congregations had before them of a church that would hold them all in comfort, and trusted that, us one of their old ministers had gone and the other was quickly going, they would speedily become one in theory as well as in reality and have ycarsof peace and prosperity boforo thom.lle wus glad indeed to see such union among all denominations as they witnessed that day, for it proved that, despite all their differences, blood was thicker than water, und that they wero ready to stand by one another.lle was sure that if any ouo assailed the rights in any way of one of their Protestant denominations, all the others would sympathise and unite, shoulder to shoulder, to ob- tainredress.(Applauso.) If theirliberties were assailed or any attempt mado to draw down the grand old flag of tho grand old Empire to which they belonged, there would be an advance along the whole line.The occasion brought before them the history of Presbytcrianism.As an ism it bad el ways gone in for cultivating the intellect as well as the heart and conscience, so that in Scotland the church and the school had gone together.Tho same policy had been followed in Ireland when Presbyterianism was plant ed there, and after such a policy had been followed for a long term of years, it was no wonder that Presbyterians, whether Scotch- mon or Irish Scolchmen, were distinguished for their intelligence, integrity, and knowledge of the Word of God.Ile believed | King William was in reality a Presbyterian, | while he certainly was a good sound Calvinist.He it was who established tho right of toleration, and vindicated it on the banks of the Boyne.That right they must maintain in this Province.In a country of mixed races, languages, and laws, he could have wished they had only had one language for the Dominion, and was sorry that, in the past, when it could have been done, the\u2019 Government had not exorcised a little Cresarism and made English, which was going to be the language of modern pro- grees, the language of our courts and Parliament.le hoped the laws of all the Provinces would yet bo tho same and givo the same liberty to all.The Orangemen of Montreal had just as good a right to have a procession as the Fete Dieu.(Great ap.plauge.) Is Montreal not British soil as well as this, and wby should the British flag not protect them there as well as hore ?As Presbyterians, an educated and intelligent people and & moral and religious people, they had a duty to perform in the face of a system which was seeking to curtail our rights.Are tho habitants an intollixent people ?If they were not as intelligent as they could wish them to be, it was not because of any want of capacity, for they wero naturally a bright, kindly people, but because of the system they had been brought up under.He had read the Globe's editorials on the state of matters revealed by the Charlevoix election case, and how they argued that the remedy for the evils that existed must be left to public opinion.He wanted to know what public opinion could exist in parishes where fow could read and fewer still could write or cipber ?It was much to be regretted that Education had been left by the Act of Confederation to the Provinces, and not to the Dominion Parlia- mont, for what was wanted to raise up the habitants was such a thorough non-sectarian system of education as would enable them to use the franchise intelligently.As a church, they had a sphere of usefulness open, and he was proud to say the Presbyterian church was doing more in the way of French Evangelization than all the other ' denominations united.It had between 40 and 50 workers in the field, who were meet ing with encouraging success.Mr Muir rocceded, in poworfal language, to oxpress bis hopes of the different nationalities composing the Dominion becoming one people and be built up a grand nation under the old flag.England had moulded into one people the different racos of which it bad been com , Celtic, Saxon, Norman, and British, and he did not see why the same should \u2018Tho Caarnxax said ho had now the bonor of introducing Colonel Bowell, with whom he had become acquainted on entering Parliament, and, with whom, though they did not now sit on the samo side of the House, he had always maintained a close friendship.Ho was not only distinguished as the head of the Orau,ge Order for British America, and a leading member of the Dominion Parliament, but as a journalist and prominent public man in Onlario, s0 that he might bo reyarded as à representative of that Province.As the people of Ontario were dis to look down on Quebec as bohind the aire, he was pleased to have a gentleman like Colonel Bowell come and visit the County of Huntingdon, and sce a part, at least, of the vallies of the Chateau- guay and Trout Rivor, and that we had as fine an agricultural country as any part of Untario.lle was glad also that he should have come to be brought face to face with x0 intelligent and respectable au assembly Rs was met that day.COLONEL MACKENEIE BoWŸELI was rocoiv- ed with rounds of applausé.Ho said if he bad won any distinction as a politician be had nover won any as a platform speaker or orator.After somo happy roferonces to Mr Muir's remarks about nationality and his boing able, from his stalwart frame, to resist any attempt upon his rights, he went on to say that though they had heard a good doal about Irishraen aud Scotchmen, no mon- tion had Leen made of his country.A Scotchman might be rood and an Irishman bettor, but an Englishman was as good as cither of them.(Laughter and applause.) not a particle of Scotch blood in his veins, while ull his claim to bo considered an Irishman was that his stepmother had come from Ireland.(Laughter) lle wasan out-and- out Englishman.Whatever their nationality, they should bo a united people for the perpetuation of Protestant principles.All Protestants ought to be brought within the organization of the Orange Socioty.Very few have a correct knowledge of the rise of the Orange Association, somo asserting that it arose after the Battle of the Boyne, others after the Battle of the Diamond, while somo traced it from the socret society formed by the 13 Prentice Boys of Derry by which they would know cach other when fighting, and others again alleged it camo into existence at Bandon, of which town the saying wont that a Jow, Turk, or Gentile might dwell in it but not a Papist.They knew nothing about nationality in (ho Orango order, as was shown by their choico of Grand Masters.The first Grand Master was Oglo R.Gowan, an Irishman, who founded the Order in Canada ; the next was Mr Benjamin, an Englishman, who was succeeded by the Hon, John Hillyard Cameron, a Scotchman, while he (the speaker) the present occupant of the office, wag an Englishman, In going through the Lodges ho found they were composed of members of all nationalities.Of secret so- cletios, tho Oddfellows claim their origin to be as far back as the yoar 65 ; and possess n silver plato alioged to be engraved in the time of Nero.The Free Masons lay claim to an oven earlier origin, the time of Solomon, somo even asserting Adam was a Free Mason, tho\u2019 who initiatod him they did not say.A German historian had minutely described the socret socioties that had sprung up among the Protestants on the Continent to protect themselves against the persecutions of the Catholics.Touching on the times of Bloody Mary and the Gunpowder Plot, the Colonel came to spoak of James IT, who, on ascending the throno; took the oath to rule as a Protestant King; and, after getting into power, broke his oath by depriving clergymen of their places and instituting .those Bomishly inclined in their stead, and treating the army in the same way, so that the eves of all were turned to William as their protector and the only one who could deliver them from the thraldom in which they were being engulfed.After deliberating on the invitation to come to England, William decided to do so.Tho elements batHed his approach to the English coast, James exclaiming that the very wind fought in hip favor, but ultimately William landded, his flag bearing tho inscription, \u201cThe liber- tios of England and the Protestant religion I will maintain.\u201d James fled and at the meeting of William with bis English ad- heronts, the first Orange organization was effected.They could still road the declaration drawn up by Bishop Burnot and he might also givo them a list of the grand officers appointed.Ho would tell them their password, cautioning them that it would be of no use in trying to get into the Orange lodges now.Among the promoters of the society was Mr Seymour, and his name was used as the word in such a Way as aking \u201c What did you say?\u201d or \u201cDid jou se?\" and the other would answer \u201c I'll say no mors,\u201d and soon.About a dozen branches of this society Woro established.As we approach the\u2019 time of the Battle of the Diamond, life and property had become uwssafe in Ireland, and Protestants were combining to protect themselves.A body ofthem thus assembled wore induced, on the assurances of two priests, to lay down their arms, when they wore assailed and killed, forming what is known as the Battle of the Diamond.This occurrence led to the fermation of the first Orange lodge and the isstitation as it now exists.It lays no egpim to exclusive loyalty yet claims to have aded the cause of loyalty and Protestantism.The other day ho had read in a certain Mon- tteal paper an article condemning the Order.I: admitted that, in Ireland, where Orange jam was strongest there was greatest peace aod tranquility, yet while admitting that it went-on to declare it was of no benefit and tiey did not want Orangeism in Canada.He would leave the writer to try and recon- ole his two statements.As to the question o\u2019 walking in procession in Montreal, with- ott entering into the consideration of the abstract or physical right to walk, he had no hesitation in saying be disapproved of the why in which the Montreal Orangemen had sted.They had no business to be biazorfng about the streets and in the papers, in & cy like Montreal, what they intended to do, put should have kept what ired in thelp lodges to themselves, when, if they did to walk, they should have done so not be done in Canada.(Great applause.) Altho' a part of his name was Scotch, ho had: and not have backed down from their resolution, He said in this case, as he did when the Prince of Wales went to visit Kingston.He took the position then that it was the duty of the Orangemen not to insist on turning out as an organization to receive the Prince, bat to join in with thoir fellow-sub- jects and mingle with the crowd, but when the majority did decide to receive the Prince only as Orangemen he went in with thom and was with them in maintaining the attitude they had assumed.It was always the caso that the men who made most noive, wore tho first to cry peccavi when danger aross.The Orangemon of Montreal had not consulted their officers in the matter of procession, and if thoy had not taken the rominont stand they had done, he would 18vo preferred no public domonstration, but when they had guno so far, they should have walked at all hazards, S reat applause.) It was not by br ocia great ends were acoomplished, and the motto of the Orange body was \u201cSlow to take offonce and offer none.\u201d When a position, after due consideration, was taken, not a man should have flinched from it.[The rain at this juncture recommenced, more heavily than bofore, causing the audience to disperse, and there was a general movemont of buggios homeward.The lodges moved away quiotly.Doapite the rain, Col.Bowell continued to speak, a small group of attentive listeners, chiefly under umbrellas, being grouped before bim.] Col.Bowrrt,\u2014For the bonefi{ of those unacquainted with the Orange order ho would read the \u201cGeneral Declaration\u201d of its principles : \u201cThe Orange Institution is formed by persons dusl- rous of supporting, to the utmost of thelr power, tle principles and practice of the Christian religion, to maintain the laws and constitution of the country, afford assistance to distressed members of the Order, and otherwise promote such laudable and benevolent purposes as may tend to the due ordering of religion and Christian charity and the supremacy of law, order and constitutional freedom.\u201d Such is the spirit of tho Declaration of the Oranyze Society, and the qualifications cssen.tial tor membership, as laid down in the Constitution, is that \u201cHo should havo a sincore love and veneration for his Almighty Maker, productive of thase lively and happy fruits, righteousness and obedience to His commands ; a fir: and steadfast faith in the Baviour of the world, convinced that He ia the only Mediator be tween a sinful creature and an offended Creator.His disposition should be humane and compassionate and bis behaviour kind and conciliatory: ho should be an enemy to savago brutality and every los of unchristian conduct : à lover of rational improving soclety: faithfully regarding the Protestant religion and sincerely desirous to propagate its precepts, i.o, charity and goodwill to all men.Zealous fn promoting the honor, happiness, and prosperity df his Queen and Ceuntry : heartily desirous of success in theno pursuits, yet convinced that God alone can grant them, He should have an hatred of cursing and swearing, and of taking the name of God in vain ; ho should use all opportunities of discouraging them among his brethren, and shun tho soclety of all persons addicted to thoso shameful practices.Prudence should guide all his actions ; temperance, sobriety, aud honesty direct his conduct ; and the laudable objects of the Association be the motives of his endeavors,\u201d Nor is this all.Immodiately after the initiation of every porson into the Order, he is addressed by tho Mastor in the following languago: \u201cWe receive you, dear brother, In the religious and loyal Association of Urangemen, trusting that you will abide a devoted servant of God, a true Lel\u2018evor in ITis Son Jesus Christ, a faithful servant of our Queen, and a supporter of our Constitution, Keep thou firm in the Protestant Faith ; make yourself a filend of all pious and peaccable men, avoiding strife snd soeking benevolence ; slow to take offence and offering none.In the name of the Brotherhood 1 bid yuu welcome, and I pray that you may long continue smong them, .worthy Orangeman, fearing God, loving the brotherhood, honoring the Queen, and maintalhing the law.\u201d With such a record, they would see how grossly Orangemen had boen misrepresented, and how unjust it was to Jook upon the Orange Socioty as either illiberni or intolerant.lle was ploased to have paid bis visit to Huntingdon, which he had been persuaded to do by his friend, the irrepressible Mr Breadner.In coming here, he found that tho people were like those in Ontario, and, whon he looked at the Orangemen before him, he saw thoy were just such à body as he would meet in his own constituency.The people of Ontario discriminated between the inhabitants of the Eastern Townships and those of the rest of the Province of Quebec.They had no such feeling as to those in the Townships as spoken of by Mr Scriver, though he must admit they had a low esti- mato of the Catholic population.In travelling through Ireland he was able to point out from the railroad carriage the rties occupied by Protestant and Catholic lan diords or tenants,from tho marked difference in their appearance.It was tho samo in this Province, and you could tell, from the poor sp- Catholic sottlement.The cause was not to be ascribed to any inherent inferiority in the Catholic inhabitants of either Ireland or Quebec, bat to the thraldom which keeps them down and enslaves their intellects wherever the priesthood have full sway, (llesr, hear.) lle was glad indeed to meet their member, Mr Scriver, with whom, tho\u2019 they did not agree politically, he was on terms of close friendship, and be could say this, that; whenever any question came before the House affecting loyal interests or the rights of Protestants, as when the Government tried to interfere with the educational matters of a Province or such incidents as Riel and bis banditti in Manitoba, he found their representative voting side by side with him.Mr Muir bad said he would like to see the question of Education taken out of tbe hands of the Local Government and placed under the control of the Dominion, but with the Administration at present in power that would be no improvement, for in a new Territory, still a wilderness, they had provided for separate schools.Rev J.B.Muin\u2014It is a great mistake.Col.BowzL1\u2014Yes, it is a great mistake.The rain here came down so heavily that it was impossible to go on, and Col, Bowelil\u2019s speech and the procesclings generally were abruptly onded.The grounds wore speedily cleared, and by ¢ o\u2019clock deserted save by the ladies and other members of the Athelstan congregations), who were clearing away and packing up the debris.The total receipts from the dinner and refreshment tont, together with a donation of $25 from Widow John Cairns, sie El in, were over $700, which, after ng all expenscs, including a crate of Rrackery, leavos $475 for the building fand.No such sum has ever been cleared in the Distaict before on such an occasion, and the Jadius of the co tions are to be congratul:sted on their self- denying and laborious exertions being crowned with such success, E \u2014 Local news and other matter bas besn arance of everything, when you were in a ee mm = gr \u2014\u2014 THE TWELFTH IN THE HEMMING- FORD DISTRICT.Tux Orangemen of Havelock, Hemmin ford, and Roxham, 4 lodges, Nos.61, 69, 41, and 1420, were not behind their brethren\u2018in other parts of the county in celebrating the over-to-be-remembered Twelfth.They met in tho large and beautiful maple grove be- lougling to James McCourt, Fsq., at Have- lock.The weather was delightful, conse quently the turn-out of poople was large, and all seemed to enjoy themselves heartily.The behaviour was everything to be desired, no appearance of any one intoxicated ; in fact, this state of matters has obtained for sovoral yoars past in the east end of the county, and it is now almost tantamount to an insult to refer to the public behaviour of the peoplo as possibly boing anything but becoming.The dinner, propared and provided by tho ladies of Trinity church, Have- lock, was partaken of and enjoyed heartily by a large number of people.The handsome sum of $230 was roalized, which is to be ap- lied towards building a shed in rear of rinity charch.After dinner came the adresses, which were good, abd above the average of such occasions.Knowing the pros of matter for this wook's loaner, it is useless sending an oxtonded report, so will only epitomize what was enid.Robt.Stevenson was called to the chair, and gavo a history of the varions lodges in tho county, stating that, 2¢ years ago that day, tho first Orange flag was raised in the county of Huntingdon.He concluded by reading a part of the Grand Secrotary's report, showing the honlthy condition of the Order in Canada.The Rev Mr Shortt, of Hemmingford, advocated the necessity of [\u2019rotestant union, and gavo a resumé of the wrongs of the Olas, calling upon the Protestant population to rise as one man and domaud that they should bo righted.Ho also strongly advocated temperance in Orango Lodges.Rov Mr Hawthorne gave n carefully thought-out and well-oxpresscd statement regarding the Papacy throughout the world and, with the apparently rapt inspiration of a eer, pictured tho doom and downfall of the Scarlet Woman.The IlevMr Smith, of Mooer's, N.Y., mado a humorous, effective, and happy apecch.He showed tho power of organization, strongly advocated temperance, and alluded to the Feninns, Cardinal Manning, and (i lad- stone.Wo could not do this gentleman's spooch justice if wo tried; it waa too racy and discursive to catch or follow with a pencil.The Rev Mr Livingstone, of Russoltown, spoke of the Orange Order ns an agent for the maintenance of civil and religious liberty.le dwelt on the proposed demonstra tion in Montroal and ita probable resulta had it takon place, le strongly advocated fair- play to Catholics, belioving that would bring ahout a good state of things.Dr Glover made a few humorous remarks in relation to tho speechos of the former spoakors.The point of his apcech was the nocessity of union among tho Protestants of this county to enable them to secure for themsolvos & man perfectly free to take an independent part in the Provincial Parliament.The Rev Doan Fulton was tho last sponker and advocated the necessity of maintaining the Order, impressing his hearers with the truth that etornal vigilance is the price ot liberty.lle entered largely upim the Oka question, his remarks meeting with much approbation.After the usun! votes of thanks, the bands atrack up, the lodges formed, and all started for home, highly pleased with the day's proceedings, Thirty years ago an aged lady residing at Brussels was murdered and jewels and socu- rities worth £20,000 stolen ; no trace of tho criminal could be found until lately, when on taking down the houso whero the crime had occurred a skeloton with all the pro- rty was discovered\u2014the murderer had allon between two walls where he was starved to death.BIRTHS.At Elgin, on the 12th inat., the wife of Patrick Donnelly, janr., of twins\u2014son and daughter.At Nevada, Story co., Iowa, on 6th July, the wife of Joseph Haire, of a daughter.At Toronto, on the 16th inst., the wife of | Francia A.Shirriff, of a son.MARRIED, On the 13th instant, at St John's church, Huntingdon, by the Rev Aaron A.Allen, M.A., James A.Millar to Jennie, second daughter of the lato John Booth.On the 10th inst., at the residence of the bride's father, by the Rev J.C.Muir, D.D., Thomas Hamilton, of North Georgetown, to Isabella, daughter of John McCartney, of South Georgetown.At the residence of tho bride's uncle, John Gilmore, Huntingdon, on the 1Mh instant, by the Rev G.H.Porter, Duncan McPhail, of Wakefield, Q., to Johnanna, only daughter of the late John Adam of Huntingdon.At the residence of the bride's father, by the Rev Jamos Patterson, on the 11th inst., Mr James Brown, farmer, to Sophia, daughter of Wm.McDowell, all of the Township of Henrmingford.oI ED.At Hantingdon, on the 13th inst, Mar, ret M., dang'bter of William Clyde, in her 11th year.At Summers town, Ont., on the 14th instant, Lizzie Spink, wife of Thomas Summers.Deceased \\vas formerly of Dundee.At Deadword City\u201d, U.8., Nov.17, 1876, of mountain fever, Talmage, son of Jonas Spencer, Athelstan, agod years and six months.etre, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Montreal, Wednesday\u2014 , saat om y FORTING\u2014\u201cBy quty\u2014the laws must be maintained, Mr thorough knowledge of the naturallaws which govern n° ;
