The Reverend T. A. Lyons, formerly curate of the Reverend Nark Beresford, who abruptly dismissed him from his curacy some tiloe ago, has been preferred by Lord Mulgrave to the Rectory end Vicarage of 13allysax, in the diocese of Kildare. The Lord-Lieutenant has been entertained very splendidly in Water- ford. There was a grand dinner in the Town-ball. The Orangemen attempted to set this building on fire the night before the dinner. The outer door-posts were tarred, and combustibles placed near them. In- quiries are in progress, but the delinquents have not been discovered.

At the Armegh Assizes, 63 Orangemen were convicted of walking in illegal processions on the 12th of July. Ten of them were sentenced to three, and 53 to two months' imprisonment. The trials of 144 Orangemen, charged with the same offence, were put off to the next .Assizes.
