from the Orange Lodge; they will not see the indignity, the outrage, the bloody attack made upon my client. They suppress, or rather they seek to suppress, all evidence of the attack,

and they bring forward the defence of these nen as though there waa nothing to justify it. Why, gentlemen, the worm will turn when trodden upon, and [ declare now, and my client will take the consequences of my declaration that as often as Orangemen seek to shoot him down from their Lodge room as he passes ! vy, 80 often will he defend himself from the cowardly attack, even if he has to} tike stones to protect himself.

even

among the Orangemea—‘‘Sir” Francis Stanley | himself. | endeavored to portray to you the | macnifi »of Serjeant Allen’s retreat, a re- treat in its ry and its interest sec mal only to that of the Len Thousand; bué I feel a task

beyond my power 1s imposed upon me in de

seribing St inley and his proceedings. l feel bound to say that he showed a bravery that} was absent from the Serjeant; but yet his con- | duct was curious. The moment he eaw the} riot commence he made up his mind that he | should be a witness for the Crown, and he de- termined then and there to take down the names of those against wuom hereafter he was determined ¢» bear testimony, and yet even ia this to show how consistent he was to the | ‘glorious and immortal memory,” he would) write upon n thing but a piece of yellow paper. Fancy Stanley hunting through the crowd im plorin ‘fora piece of yellow paper! Some- body gave hima piece of a yellow envelope, and made him happy. But it was necessary that he should have placed that piece of paper azainst some hard substance, for it is absurd to imagine that he could have written the names in that swaying crowd. But Francis is equal ! tothe emergency. He tells us that he weat to the Lodge building, and placing the paper against the brick wall, he wrote the names upon it. The stones were flying thickly arouad him ; the pisto! shots wore being tired on either side and above him, but he flinched not ; calm and quiet, where were all was uproarand confusion, he finishe 1 his memorandum. I ventured to ask him if he considered dimself the Grand Seribe of the occasion. My learned friend, Mr. Palmer, suggested that he was the Re- cording Angel, aud I found that Stanley pre- fers the latter title, so kindly did he take to the idea, that I now regret that [ did not ask him t» take off his coat tosesif a pair of wings was cencealed beneath ; perhaps, however, it would have been useless, for I fear that did he posseas them, a court of justiccis hardly the place to exhibit what may only be used in the most pure atmosphere of an Ocanze Lode. Ge itlemen, the traverser was not at the whirf either in the morning or the eveaing, he was not at the row at the commencement. He heard the commotion on Queen Street, and at- tracted by cariosity he went to see what was As he looked on, he saw some one from the Orange Lodge window deliberately aim at, and fireon him, with a pistol. The Crown-law officers tell you he should have stood meckly there as a target for the Orange assassin ; but he did what I say he had a right to do, and with stones he drove his would-be- murderer from the window. He did nothing

going on.

before this, he did nothing after it except, indeed, what Smith tells us, that he saw the prisoner forcing a man to drop some stones which

he had seized to throw at the Lodge, and he heard him distinctly say, ‘‘ Stop that; it is the likes of you that get men into troubles You well remember that the traverser’s brother was there, and while it might be quite true that ‘*McCloskey”” threw many stones, the wit- nesses did not particuiarly identify which brother it was.

And now, gentlemen, 1 have done. I shall leave the matter with you. In a few minutes you will be urged by the counse! for the prosecution to consider no mitigating cir- cumstances, to look only with an evil eye at my client, and to put what evil construction you can upon his conduct. You will hear the officer for our Sovereign Lady the Queen palliating the crime oi firing shots into an un- armed crowd, because these shots were fired by Orangemen. You will see him shedding tears of sympathy over John Moore for the blow on his head; but no tribute of regret will he offer to Lafferty. Twice he was fired at, twice he was shot in the head ; not a man, not even an Orangeman, can say his conduct was riotous or disorderly ; he was quietly looking on, and he was taken away wounded and bleeding. This, however, 1s quite right ; there was then, there is now, a¢ ark stigma resting wpon Lafferty—he is an Irish Catholic —and my learned friend can not afford even one of those crocodile tears which will pre- sently be poured out in such copious libations as he relates the story of Orange wrongs. And this is what is called ‘* upholding the Law.” I have ever understood that Law has its resting place in the bosom of God, that Heaven and earth are filled with the voice of its har- mony, that nowhere is there anything too small ior its protecting care; nothing too great for its restraining influence. I had always hitherto hoped that with us there was one place where no considerations would be allowed to obscure a sense of justice; where no considerations of title, or rank, or wealth, or religious convic- tions would be allowed to weigh even as ‘‘the tine dust in the balance,” but that here in our Courtroom, before a jury, all stood equal, not to bee, but to demand the justice they felt and knew showld be theirs. I say hitherto; I thought this was our boast, but it is our boast sow no longer. The object sought is, as the Levverninent organ has told you, that by your

A Constantinople despatch saya the idea | of the Sultan's withdrawal to Broussais! again mooted at Constantinople.

lt is positively maintaiued, despite the statements in the British Parliament, that the arrangement between England and Rus- sia is by no means perfect ; that the an- nouncement of the Muscovite intention to occupy Constantinople caused the whole affalr to enter upon a new phase, and that in consequence the British squadron again returued to Princess Island. Thus the whole question a t issue seems to be again renewed.

The Times’ Paris correspondent says: ‘** According to a telegram from Bucharest fresh Russian detachments are arriving in Roumania, several without guns. It is be- lieved that they are destined to form a mil- itary colony in Balgaria.”’

The Times, editorially, says it considers the situation very unsatisfactory. Europe isarmed to the teeth and increasing its armaments daily. In such circumstances the country can but have confidence to the Government, and trust that they will be able to counteract the dangerous complica- tions which have on all sides been aroused.

The Telegraph says: ‘** Nothing could vell be darker or more difficult than the prospect now before the country.”

A Balgrade despatch to the ‘‘Timoes” says that a feeling of animosity against Ruasia is prevalent here. A Reuter, Constantino- ple, despatch says that the Grand Duke Nicholas and Cafras Pasha will meet to- morrow at St. Stefano

Lonpon, Feb. 24.

The supporters of Government assembled | in great force near the Arch this p. m., for | the purpose of yoting down the peace reso- | lutions protesting against, any attempt to embarrass the Government, and against Russian occupation of Constantinople.

After enthusiastically passing resolutions in favor of the Government, the crowd at- tacked and temporarily broke up a peace meeting in progress in Hyde Park. After some time, Charles Bradlaugh moved a re- solution in favor of peace, but was frequently obliged to change his position. Several fights occurred in the meantime, and the mob sang ‘* Rule Britannia.” After Bradlaugh’s departure, there was some heated discus- sion and more fighting. The crowd in and around the park is estimated at from 80,000 to 100,000, of whom 19,000 actually took part in the proceedings—they gradually dispessed, A large and excited section went to hoot before Gladstone’s residence, but were prevented doing so by a_ strong force of police.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 25.

The Grand Duk Nicholas, accompanied by a detachment of troops and Turkish Plenipotentaries, has arrived at St. Steffano. Reol and Mehemit Ali Pashas have gone to welcomes him.

Lonpon, Feb. 25.

A despatch from Constantinople of the 2ist inst., gives the principal points of the fresh conditions of peace demanded by Russia. The proposed boundary of the new Province of Bulgaria will include the coun- try between the Danube and the Balkans and a portion of Roumania between the Black Sea and Servia, comprising Sofia and Phillipolis, the greater part of Thrace and Macedonia andthe whole Valley of the Naritza, except Adrianople. The con- ditions provide for the assembly of not- ables to elect a Sovereign Prince for Bul- garia, whose nomination will be submitted for the sanction of the Porte and European Powers. Bulgaria’s tribute to the Porte to be equal in amonnt to the net revenue of the Pro- vince. A Russian Commissioner is to super- intend the Bulgarian Government for two years, and 50,000 Russian troops are to occupy the principality during the same period. The conditions also require the session of Podgritza and Antivan with other territority to Montenegro. Russia to have this power to cede Dolmdscha to Roumania in exchange for Roumanian ter- ritory in Bozinia towards Nichs to Saura.

The prohibition of the passage through the Straits to men-of-war, except in isolated cases; absolute freedom of the passage of merchantmen, except in times of war; the payment of an indemnity of 14,000,000 of roubles, to cover which Turkey is to cede Batoum, Kars, Bayazid, Ardahan and ad- jacent territory. Turkey will also be re- quired to pay £40,000,000 in bonds, the in terest and sinking fund of which are to be guaranteed by Bulgarian and Egyptian tribute, Anatolia revenues and Heraclea mines; ten millions of roubles to be paid im- mediately to indemnify%Russian residents of Constantinople; Turkey to reimburse the Russian capital invested in Turkish bonds; also to pay for the maintenance of prisoners of war and reopening of the Salina mouth of the Danube. It is now believed Russia will accept four ironclads, instead of six, as de:
