CUMBERI„iND—CARL ISLE, Monday, Nov. 29. On Saturday last, there was
a meeting of the county magistrates to consider the propriety of interfering should the processions be continued. A person.offered to swear that in the last procession were three hundred men dressed in women's clothes, and armed with pikes ; but he had no proof to offer. Another person said, about one hundred and fifty persons were armed with pikes ; he confessed, however, that he had not seen any of them-- he had only been told that such was the fact. The magistrates resolved" that while the people continued to behave quietly, the most prudent course was not to interfere.
