present, the master and private members of the district; it was
unanimously resolved--That at a time when a leading Irish Member of the
House of Commons--obviously influencing the Ministry of the Queen’s
most excellent Majesty, and indirectly wielding the Viceregal power in
Ireland--was on a tower of agitation through our Island, organizing a
society of Precursors, for the avowed purpose of extinguishing
Protestantism and dismembering the empire, we hail with joy the late
demonstration in our Metropolitan Grand Lodge, of our existence and
complete organization, which we have never relinquished, however
confidently our surrender had been announced in and out of Parliament,
by false friends and inveterate enemies: and that we will, with
the blessing of God, continue to abide by the principles of our
ancestors, holding together in a legal and constitutional manner, for
the defence of our own persons and property and maintenance of public
peace, at a time when the empire has been threatened not only by a
foreign power, but by internal enemies. The Rev. John Graham
having left the chair, and the Master of No. 433 being called thereto,
it was resolved--That this meeting tender their most sincere thanks to
the Rev. John Graham and the brethren of the Metropolitan Grand Lodge,
for their zealous defence of our institution at the meeting held in
Dublin on the 14th Nov. 1838.--Derry

Ballybay Fair.
The
Fair of Ballybay
was holding this day (Saturday), when our correspondent wrote, up to
the hour of communication, the fair was considered a good one. The show
of Horses was capital, and the demand brisk. The black cattle were
numerous, and in request. The Sheep-buyers and sellers seemed much
pleased, with the day’s business, and several purchasers for the
English market, were engaged in collecting stock. A considerable
decrease in the price of Pigs was experienced. The following is a
quotation of the prices of the staple articles:--Oats per stone ... 1s. 0d to 1s. 1-3/4 d. Meal per cwt. ... 16s. 0d. to 17s. 3d. Potatoes per stone ... 0s. 3d. to 0s. 0d. Butter per lb. ... 0s. 9d. to 0s. 9-1/4d. Beef per lb. ... 0s. 4-1/2d. to 0s. 6d. Mutton per lb. ... 0s. 6d. to 0s. 6-1/2d. ====================
On Saturday evening last an attack was made on the house of the widow Newman, of Clonrallagh, about two miles from this town. A man named Matthew M’Loughlin, who had been heretofore on terms of intimacy with the family, went to the house, armed with a gun. As he approached the door the widow’s daughter went to speak to him, when he turned the butt-end of the gun, struck her in the mouth, knocked her down, and at the same time knocked out one of her teeth. He then took deliberate aim at John Newman, her son, who was sitting at the fire, discharged his piece, and wounded him slightly on the top of the shoulder. Early on Sunday morning Head-constable Atkin, with a party of police, proceeded to the house of the Fitzgerald, where the [sic] found M’Loughlin under arms in the garden, they arrested him, brought him before John Barnes, Esq., S.M., who took the information of the Newmans, fully committed M’Loughlin, and detains the Newmans in custody to prosecute. Mr. Atkin deserves credit for his successful exertions in this case, for had he and his party not disguised themselves as fowlers, the assassin might be still at large.--Longford Journal. ====================
The
Irish representative Bishops in the next Session
of parliament, are the Archbishop of Tuam and the Bishops of Limerick,

Intimidation.
The last tyrannical act of the Irish agitation is
a threat to ruin Mr. Peter Purcell, for having dared to speak out
against O’Connell’s peculation. The modus operandi is to start a coach
company in opposition to Peter.====================
