Then came the wedding of our cwn fair
bride, and she seemed almost seared to find
how solemn were the words which bound her
'to share the burdens as well as the joys of,
her bridegroom ; but she had always meant
| to do so, and taking heart of grace she smiled
happily as he banded her into my sleigh for
‘the return journey. Again we swept through
ithe bush with laugh and jest, and in the in-
tervals my servant, Antoine, sang jubilant
bridal pazans, and trolled o!d ballads of love
and marriage enough to have turned Hymeo- |
/ward a whole community. But after a time |
there were only but the newly wedded couple |
‘aud myself to Jisten, for my high-bred|
| horses, freah as when we started, had far
out-sped the heavy steeds of the other
‘travellers, and we were ruoning them out of |
‘sight and hearing.
Let us go by the lake-shore, cried the!
| bridegroom ; then you'il see * Tumble,” and
we will be bome yet before they are.
| The idea was highly approved by the
jnew-made wife, and as I was somewhat,
| weary myself of the monotony of the woods, |
‘L readily agreed. Between us and the’
‘shore was a winding gully filled with frozen
‘snow, which soon brought us to the broud |
| belt of ice bordering the land, Beyond was |
the lake, which, so far as we could see, |
| stretched a vast expanse of blue, refreshing |
| to the eye wearied by the universal whi'eness, |
‘and troubled by a recent gale. It heaved |
‘and rolled in heavy swells, whose very action |
was cheering amid the deadly stiliness.
Meanwhile we bowled merrily on over |
ithe wavy ice, which flashed and sparkled |
‘in a thousand blinding and gorgeous rays be- |
‘neath our horses’ feet, while on our left, the |
| land rose into lofty promontories, crowned
| with battlements of suow, or swept back into |
| the deep bays bordering with. pise forests,
(or with vast expanses of dreary swamp,
| where the loon made her nest, among the |
/moss, and the water-suake lurked beneath |
| the rushes, |
At lengyh a deep reverberation announced |
‘the “ Tumble’—a succession of foaming
cascades, by which the waters of a lolty.
river found their way into the lake, and!
fringe the overhanging rocks, aod the glucier-
lke cone of ice the spray had raised before |
it. This duly admired, we passed on, for |
the short day was drawing to @ close, and)
just as the sua sank bebiud the pine crest of |
a distant headiand, we came to a wide estuary |
whose further point it formed. Beyond was
ihe farm, and we uiged the horses to aj
swilter pace, for with the suu’s departure |
came a great access of cold,
‘The estuary some eight miles wide stretch- |
ed deep into the laud, aud to save time, we
drove straight across the vast sheet of ice
which bridged it. Night fell as we pro-
ceeded, but though the moon had not yet
risen, the mist reflection of the snow lighted
us Ou Our Way, aud ahead was the promon-
tory, showing darkly against the starlit sky.
We bad about reached the centre of the bay,
iatraight from the frozen north, swept over |
in broken rays on the broad Jake, which |
now rolled in waves areund us, aod shiuing |
like a glory on the distant hills, giving us!
one more glance at earth.
But the cold was intense. The wind, '
the luke in fitful gusts, and seemed to pierce |
us like icy arrows ; and though, wrapped in |
the heavy sleigh furs, we crouched within |
its narrow limits, we could eearce endure |
the rigovs of the night ; aud worse than all, |
our fair companion had to share these bard-
ships with uo protection save the most
sheltered corver of the sleigh, and the
warmest wrapper; yet she never murmured,
but, with the gentle heroism of ber sex, laid
her bead silently, aud now tearlessly on her
husband’s shoulder; and [ thought she
prayed. Day at last broke on this long”
night of misery aod desolation. The im-|
perceptible current of the lake had swept us|
out of sight of land, and the huge mass of |
ice lay steady a8 an island among tho sur- |
rounding waves. We told ourselves we had |
|no hope of rescue, yet long and anxiously |
'we watched the circling horizon for some |
sign of coming aid, and it was with a deeper |
despondency we discovered taat, as far as/
the eye could reach, there was nothing bat
lake and sky, saye On One spot some miles
distant, where floated a fragment of our raft,
which cracked from the commencemeut and
parted during the night, bearing away with
it both our horses. And as the day wore
on auother hardship was added, which re-
doubled all the rest—that of hunger. Since
the preceding morning we had eaten nothing,
and our long exposure to the cold began to
make the want severely tell ; while, though
many birds flew over the lake, not une came
within reach of our rifles to soften this new
calamity.
Two days passed, and no words can tell
the intensity of our sufferings as we floated
on that frozen prison, which the wiud and
waves seemed powerless to destroy; each
hour seemed but to augment our misery ;
and when the third day broke upou us, cold
and exhaustion were fast duing their work,
and we lay hopelessly in the corners of the
sleigh, about to die ag it seemed. But the
young bride still bore up; whether it was
the vigor of her youth that sustained her or
that marvellous euduranee of her sex, which
has so often carried them through wreck and
tempest, 1 know not,/but she was still com- |
paratively unsubdued, and while she drew |
the coverings still more c'osely round us, |
she earnestly eutreated us to hope aud trust.
I began to think with horror that the time
would shortly come when the unbappy girl
would be left alone upon the ice.
Thas another night closed on our sore ex- |
tremity, and we did not think to live it out.
As the hours passed, a furious storm arose |
upon the lake, la-hiwy its waters into foam. |
ing billows, whieh dashed against our raft, |
as if they sought to shatter it in pieces;
vlouds black as ink rolled over the sky, and
appeared to fill the air; and to crown all
the faintness of our hunger was succeeded
by raging pains, almost beyoud endurance,
and which hourly seemed to increase.
Never have [ suffered as [ did that night.
It was well nigh maddening, and many times
as we sat cowering in the sleigh, listening |
to the rustling of the waves, did we almost |
pray that they would overwhelm our raft at |

dreadful accounts, that their object was)
the extermination of all the Catholics of |
thatcounty. It was a persecution conceived |
in the bitterness of bigotry, carried op |
with the most ferocious barbarity by a}
banditti, who, being of the religion of tie |
state, hud committed, with the greatest |
audacity and confidence, the most horrid |
murders, and had proceeded from robbery
and massacre to extermination ; that they
had repealed, by their own authority, all}
the laws lately passed in favour of the)
Catholics, and had established, in the |
place of those Jaws, the inquisition of a}
mob resembling Lord George Gordon’s
fanatics, equalling them in outrage, and
surpassing them fur in perseverance and
success ; that theee modes of outrage were
as varioug as they were atrocious. They
sometimes forced by terror the masters of
families to disniiss their Catholic servants,
they sometimes forced landlords by terror
to dismiss their Catholic tenantry, and they
seized as deserters numbers of Catholic
weavers, and sent them to the county gaol,

one in question generally led to processions,
and when men were congregated and excited,
they sometimes thought that there should be
no person in the world except themselves.
For his part he did not care how many pro-
cessions there were in the country, as long as
he had his own share of the road. But others
thought differently ; therefore he would like
to be infermed by the hon. introducer of the
measure, if he intended to submit to the
Uouse the bye-laws of the society, in order
that hon. members might know whether it
purposed having processions or not,
Hion. Col, Seckerany said he knew of
nothing in the bye laws of the association
requiring processions, but if the hon. leader
of the Government was afraid of processions,
he might introduce a bill-to preyent them,
like the Act in force in treland,

Through mavy of the backwoods settle-
wents clergymen have never passed, and
troths are lawfully plighted before the near-
est magistrate. But on this occasion it
‘chanced that a clergyman was visiting his
‘brother at a farm house some twenty miles
distant, and the marriage was hurried that
| the bride might have the advantage of a
'“ parson’s wedding.” My two-horse sleigh
being the best appointed vehicle in the com-
pany, I placed it at the bride’s digposal, and
‘we were soon speeding through the forest,
followed by a bevy of eleighs and trains,
filled with a laughing crowd ; and while the
| peals, the young settlers played wild choruses |
| upon horns, until the eld woods echoed with
| their minstrelsy.
_ About mid-day we reached our destina-
tion, and bad to wait the conclusion of an-
‘other ceremony. It was a wedding, and the
strangest I cver saw, for the bride was
portly, the bridegroom griazled, and they
made the respouses with @ decision which
, showed they had quite made up their minds;
The bridegroom was
eager to swim thespace,and bear tidings to (he
farm; but it would ouly be a uscless sacri-
fice of life, for ere he had gone half the
distance, he would have died in his frozen
clothes. There was but one chance left—
that we might yet hit upon some projecting
point of the lake shore. But as our raft
floated steadily further and further out from

Smith, Baron of the Court of Exchequer in
Ireland, who s&ld :-—
‘* He was persuaded that the Government
lored that the Magistracy should be so
Dtind to the danger which they were |
suffering to grow. He trembled at the |
pernicious effects of mixing any religious |
prejudices with the distractions which a}-
ready agitated the Kingdom. There was,

the poisonous acrimony which religion adds |
to any contest in which it shall mingle, nor |

spirit of bigotted religious animosity.”’
would never prefer one treason to another, |
or use less severity towards the bigotry and
excess of Peep-of-day boys, cr Orangemen,
than towards other equally abcminable
outrages. He had heard it insinuated, on
both sides of the House,that the Defender-
ism might call for the extraordinary
interposition of the Legislature, yet the
opposite class of insurgents might be left
to the vigilance of the Armagh Magistrates
and to the ordinary efficacy of the Law as
already established. To such a doctrine
he must expressentire dissent. He viewed
both species of offence with equal abhor-
rence, and thought the Legislature ought
to meet them with equa! indignation.
The scene next shifted (says theright bon.
genticman) to the special assizes of the
this question.
Hoa, Mr. Warsurron qnite agreed with
the hon. leader of the Government, that too
much time was taken up on this matter; bat
it was altogether caused by the remarks of
That hon. member
had referred to the danger of Roman Ca-
tholics obtaining ascendancy in this Colony.
The fact that so many districts possessing a
majority of Roman Catholics had returned
Protestant members, shewed that there was
no danger on this ground—that they did uot
seek ascendancy. ‘The hon. Colonial Secre-
tary also argued that the Orange [nstitution |

United States, the Roman Catholics of Canada |
did all in their power to support Britain by |
assisting in the transport of troops. This.
proved that they did not wish to rid them- |
selves of the rule of England. It bad also)
been asserted that the Koman Catholics now |
formed a third party in the British Paria-
ment. He did not see why this etatement
should be made; it was only a short time
since they were allowed te sit in Parliament, |
and it could not be expected that they would |
add that he was heartily sorry this measure |
had been introduced here, ag he felt certain
that it would cause disturbance in the)
Colony.
Mr. Conroy rose to express his disappro- |
bation of the Bill before the House, He |
thought the words employed by the bon. Col. |
Seeretary were a direct insult to the 35,000)
Roman Catholics of the Colony. He (Mr. UC.)
believed that ail be could say would not pre-
vent the Bill from passing; but he felt con-
fident that it would never become the law of
the land—that such a measure would never
be sanctioned under the British constitution.
Hie did not wish his Protestant friends to
think less of him on account of what he might
have said on this question, because he made
quite a distinction between a Protestant and
a person called an Orangeman. He looked
upon an Orangeman as his greatest and sworn |
enemy, and very much regretted that there |
were men in both branches of the Legislature
who belonged to the Institution. It wasun-
it would fall to bis lot to sit in the Legisla-
to gross, and he might say, blasphemecus in-
sults against his religion.
Hon. Mr. Braron said about one-third of
his constituents were Protestants, that he
lived on most intimate terms with sume of
them, and considered them his best friends;
therefore be would be sorry to sey anything to
hurt their feelings. He would endeayour to
avoid doing so while he expreseed his opinions

This Bill was to incorporate quite a dif
ferent institution from other secret societies,
referred to, which were for a benevolent ob-
ject. This association was a combination
against another class of the community, and
he believed au Act to incorporate it was cal
culated to do injury. There was nothing
which he disliked sv much as religious dis-
eension. He held his owa views, but admitt-
ed that others might entertain opposite
opinions, and do so conscientiously. Evil
consequences, he feared, would result from
the discussion uf to-day.

ment, which Was unanimously carried.
Farivar, March 20.
Mr. HWowran resumed the debate by re-
ferriug to the fact that as Romaa lics
were restricted from various offices, under
the Crown and Constitution, there could be
no fear of ** Papal aggression,”’ and as those
who were styled the ** Foreign Powers”’ close
ut home, had their hands full, there was
little need of apprehension here. The hon,
the Colonial Secretary stated that the Orange
Society had for its first object the practice
of the Christian religion, the support of law
and order, constitutional liberty, the sup-
pression of rebellion, and the preservation of
national tranquility. This sounded all very
fine; but he would read to the Houss ex-
tracts proving the contrary. In ‘* Plowden's
Ilistorieal Disquisition on O Sveictica

«“T, A. B., do swear that [ will exterminate the
Catholics of Ireland as far as lies in my power.’”
The Banner of Ulster, an Irish Protestant
newspaper, had also published, in reference
to the trial of some Orange rioters, that
‘There never had been peace iq Ireland since
Orangeism had raised its hydra-bead; there never
can be peace in Irelacd till Orangeism is cousti-
tuted a felony by law, ard some thousands of the

There was not, nor there could not be any
doubt that the leading statesmen of
had set themselves against the crzanization
of this society. Both Lord Palmerstou, the
present premier of England, and Earl Russell,
Her Majetty's Secretary for Foreiga Affairs,
had expreesed opinions adverse to the organ-
ization of the Society which it was proposed
by this Bill to incorporate. The co the

Then came the wedding of our cwn fair
bride, and she seemed almost seared to find
how solemn were the words which bound her
'to share the burdens as well as the joys of,
her bridegroom ; but she had always meant
| to do so, and taking heart of grace she smiled
happily as he banded her into my sleigh for
‘the return journey. Again we swept through
ithe bush with laugh and jest, and in the in-
tervals my servant, Antoine, sang jubilant
bridal pazans, and trolled o!d ballads of love
and marriage enough to have turned Hymeo- |
/ward a whole community. But after a time |
there were only but the newly wedded couple |
‘aud myself to Jisten, for my high-bred|
| horses, freah as when we started, had far
out-sped the heavy steeds of the other
‘travellers, and we were ruoning them out of |
‘sight and hearing.
Let us go by the lake-shore, cried the!
| bridegroom ; then you'il see * Tumble,” and
we will be bome yet before they are.
| The idea was highly approved by the
jnew-made wife, and as I was somewhat,
| weary myself of the monotony of the woods, |
‘L readily agreed. Between us and the’
‘shore was a winding gully filled with frozen
‘snow, which soon brought us to the broud |
| belt of ice bordering the land, Beyond was |
the lake, which, so far as we could see, |
| stretched a vast expanse of blue, refreshing |
| to the eye wearied by the universal whi'eness, |
‘and troubled by a recent gale. It heaved |
‘and rolled in heavy swells, whose very action |
was cheering amid the deadly stiliness.
Meanwhile we bowled merrily on over |
ithe wavy ice, which flashed and sparkled |
‘in a thousand blinding and gorgeous rays be- |
‘neath our horses’ feet, while on our left, the |
| land rose into lofty promontories, crowned
| with battlements of suow, or swept back into |
| the deep bays bordering with. pise forests,
(or with vast expanses of dreary swamp,
| where the loon made her nest, among the |
/moss, and the water-suake lurked beneath |
| the rushes, |
At lengyh a deep reverberation announced |
‘the “ Tumble’—a succession of foaming
cascades, by which the waters of a lolty.
river found their way into the lake, and!
fringe the overhanging rocks, aod the glucier-
lke cone of ice the spray had raised before |
it. This duly admired, we passed on, for |
the short day was drawing to @ close, and)
just as the sua sank bebiud the pine crest of |
a distant headiand, we came to a wide estuary |
whose further point it formed. Beyond was
ihe farm, and we uiged the horses to aj
swilter pace, for with the suu’s departure |
came a great access of cold,
‘The estuary some eight miles wide stretch- |
ed deep into the laud, aud to save time, we
drove straight across the vast sheet of ice
which bridged it. Night fell as we pro-
ceeded, but though the moon had not yet
risen, the mist reflection of the snow lighted
us Ou Our Way, aud ahead was the promon-
tory, showing darkly against the starlit sky.
We bad about reached the centre of the bay,
iatraight from the frozen north, swept over |
in broken rays on the broad Jake, which |
now rolled in waves areund us, aod shiuing |
like a glory on the distant hills, giving us!
one more glance at earth.
But the cold was intense. The wind, '
the luke in fitful gusts, and seemed to pierce |
us like icy arrows ; and though, wrapped in |
the heavy sleigh furs, we crouched within |
its narrow limits, we could eearce endure |
the rigovs of the night ; aud worse than all, |
our fair companion had to share these bard-
ships with uo protection save the most
sheltered corver of the sleigh, and the
warmest wrapper; yet she never murmured,
but, with the gentle heroism of ber sex, laid
her bead silently, aud now tearlessly on her
husband’s shoulder; and [ thought she
prayed. Day at last broke on this long”
night of misery aod desolation. The im-|
perceptible current of the lake had swept us|
out of sight of land, and the huge mass of |
ice lay steady a8 an island among tho sur- |
rounding waves. We told ourselves we had |
|no hope of rescue, yet long and anxiously |
'we watched the circling horizon for some |
sign of coming aid, and it was with a deeper |
despondency we discovered taat, as far as/
the eye could reach, there was nothing bat
lake and sky, saye On One spot some miles
distant, where floated a fragment of our raft,
which cracked from the commencemeut and
parted during the night, bearing away with
it both our horses. And as the day wore
on auother hardship was added, which re-
doubled all the rest—that of hunger. Since
the preceding morning we had eaten nothing,
and our long exposure to the cold began to
make the want severely tell ; while, though
many birds flew over the lake, not une came
within reach of our rifles to soften this new
calamity.
Two days passed, and no words can tell
the intensity of our sufferings as we floated
on that frozen prison, which the wiud and
waves seemed powerless to destroy; each
hour seemed but to augment our misery ;
and when the third day broke upou us, cold
and exhaustion were fast duing their work,
and we lay hopelessly in the corners of the
sleigh, about to die ag it seemed. But the
young bride still bore up; whether it was
the vigor of her youth that sustained her or
that marvellous euduranee of her sex, which
has so often carried them through wreck and
tempest, 1 know not,/but she was still com- |
paratively unsubdued, and while she drew |
the coverings still more c'osely round us, |
she earnestly eutreated us to hope aud trust.
I began to think with horror that the time
would shortly come when the unbappy girl
would be left alone upon the ice.
Thas another night closed on our sore ex- |
tremity, and we did not think to live it out.
As the hours passed, a furious storm arose |
upon the lake, la-hiwy its waters into foam. |

as if they sought to shatter it in pieces;

appeared to fill the air; and to crown all
the faintness of our hunger was succeeded
by raging pains, almost beyoud endurance,
and which hourly seemed to increase.
Never have [ suffered as [ did that night.
It was well nigh maddening, and many times
as we sat cowering in the sleigh, listening |
to the rustling of the waves, did we almost |

place of those Jaws, the inquisition of a}
mob resembling Lord George Gordon’s
fanatics, equalling them in outrage, and
surpassing them fur in perseverance and
success ; that theee modes of outrage were
as varioug as they were atrocious. They
sometimes forced by terror the masters of
families to disniiss their Catholic servants,
they sometimes forced landlords by terror
to dismiss their Catholic tenantry, and they

would never prefer one treason to another, |
or use less severity towards the bigotry and
excess of Peep-of-day boys, cr Orangemen,
than towards other equally abcminable
outrages. He had heard it insinuated, on
both sides of the House,that the Defender-
ism might call for the extraordinary
interposition of the Legislature, yet the
opposite class of insurgents might be left
to the vigilance of the Armagh Magistrates
and to the ordinary efficacy of the Law as
already established. To such a doctrine
he must expressentire dissent. He viewed
both species of offence with equal abhor-
rence, and thought the Legislature ought
to meet them with equa! indignation.
The scene next shifted (says theright bon.
genticman) to the special assizes of the
this question.
Hoa, Mr. Warsurron qnite agreed with
the hon. leader of the Government, that too
much time was taken up on this matter; bat
it was altogether caused by the remarks of

had referred to the danger of Roman Ca-
tholics obtaining ascendancy in this Colony.
The fact that so many districts possessing a
majority of Roman Catholics had returned
Protestant members, shewed that there was
no danger on this ground—that they did uot
seek ascendancy. ‘The hon. Colonial Secre-
tary also argued that the Orange [nstitution |

proved that they did not wish to rid them- |

been asserted that the Koman Catholics now |
formed a third party in the British Paria-
ment. He did not see why this etatement
should be made; it was only a short time
since they were allowed te sit in Parliament, |
and it could not be expected that they would |
add that he was heartily sorry this measure |
had been introduced here, ag he felt certain
that it would cause disturbance in the)
Colony.
Mr. Conroy rose to express his disappro- |
bation of the Bill before the House, He |
thought the words employed by the bon. Col. |

Roman Catholics of the Colony. He (Mr. UC.)
believed that ail be could say would not pre-
vent the Bill from passing; but he felt con-
fident that it would never become the law of
the land—that such a measure would never
be sanctioned under the British constitution.
Hie did not wish his Protestant friends to
think less of him on account of what he might
have said on this question, because he made
quite a distinction between a Protestant and
a person called an Orangeman. He looked
upon an Orangeman as his greatest and sworn |
enemy, and very much regretted that there |
were men in both branches of the Legislature
who belonged to the Institution. It wasun-
it would fall to bis lot to sit in the Legisla-

his constituents were Protestants, that he

them, and considered them his best friends;

This Bill was to incorporate quite a dif
ferent institution from other secret societies,
referred to, which were for a benevolent ob-
ject. This association was a combination
against another class of the community, and
he believed au Act to incorporate it was cal
culated to do injury. There was nothing
which he disliked sv much as religious dis-
eension. He held his owa views, but admitt-
ed that others might entertain opposite
opinions, and do so conscientiously. Evil
consequences, he feared, would result from
the discussion uf to-day.

Mr. HWowran resumed the debate by re-
ferriug to the fact that as Romaa lics
were restricted from various offices, under
the Crown and Constitution, there could be
no fear of ** Papal aggression,”’ and as those
who were styled the ** Foreign Powers”’ close
ut home, had their hands full, there was
little need of apprehension here. The hon,
the Colonial Secretary stated that the Orange
Society had for its first object the practice
of the Christian religion, the support of law
and order, constitutional liberty, the sup-
pression of rebellion, and the preservation of
national tranquility. This sounded all very
fine; but he would read to the Houss ex-
tracts proving the contrary. In ‘* Plowden's

to the trial of some Orange rioters, that
‘There never had been peace iq Ireland since
Orangeism had raised its hydra-bead; there never

There was not, nor there could not be any
doubt that the leading statesmen of
had set themselves against the crzanization
of this society. Both Lord Palmerstou, the
present premier of England, and Earl Russell,
Her Majetty's Secretary for Foreiga Affairs,
had expreesed opinions adverse to the organ-
ization of the Society which it was proposed
by this Bill to incorporate. The co the
