It is to be a ‘grand affair, according to the programme. ‘Probably forty thousand men will turn out in the Procession, with all the gorgeous decorations of the different Orders to which they belong— motable among them all the Father Mathew temperance socicties. It is intended, we “understand, to introduce into the pageant a representation of the ancient costumes of Ire- Jand as worn by her kings, bards and soldiers. ‘Even to this day the vestments wern by the priests on such festivals as Christmas and Waster are invariably of orange color. We need hardly say that, although “the wearing of the green” has been long considered the "badge of Irish nationality, the original and favorite color of the Irish people for hundreds of years was orange or saffron color. Never- theless for some insensate reason these colors—orange and green—have been made the symbols of dire hostility between certain classes and religionists in Ireland, and have created antipathies frequently leading to bloodshed and always evincing a want of One of the *48 enthusiasm, wrote these lines:— Ireland rejoice ! and Engiand deplore ! Faction and feud are passing away. Twas a low voice, but ‘tis a loud roar— Orange and green will carry the day | Unfortunately—and very foolishly—the feuds and factions still exist, and all about these two prismatic colors, simply because the Protestant successor of the Catholic King James was known as the “Prince of Orange.” The union of the orange and green in one standard as the national emblem of Ireland, and also as the emblem of the union of the hearts and hands of her chiidren as nationalists, was the day dream and grand political object of O'Connell. In one of his earliest tours of agitation for the restoration of the native Par- liament he stopped both at Oldbridge—where William the Third fought his great batile— ‘and in Drogheda, and ‘toasted the canse of Trish union in a glass of the water of the Boyne wiver. The great agitator wore the orange cand green mingled on bis breast on that occa- sion, and referred to William Prince of Orange in the most complimentary terms, as being one of the first ruling men who ever called atten- tion to the vast water power of Ireland and the adaptability of the country to manufactur- ing purposes in consequence. The despatches of the Prince of Orange excited the envy of the English manufacturers, who complained of the injary it did to their interests by diverting capital to the banks of the Irish rivers. Leading Irishmen have ever accepted the Prince of Orange as an industrial and religious reformer for home trade, and really an opponent of great ecclesiastical corporations. Would it not be a good idea, then, for every man in the forty thousand who turns out to- morrow to intertwine a bit of orange ribbon with his green badge, and thus—as O'Connell did—put a veto upon the foolish distinction soemphatically that it shall never be heard of more? If this suggestion were adopted “orange and green would carry the day” over a very ignorant prejudice on one St. Patrick’s festival at least in this great metro- polis. Dinmond Cut Diamond.” A sort of “diamond cut diamond” case came up yesterday before Judge Sutherland, of the Supreme Court. Its salient point was the ‘‘influence” dodge, which lately has pecome quite a frequent and potent lever in operations to secure money otherwise than by honest toil and legitimate merit. According to the plaintifl’s showing the defendant in the case represented to him that a valid claim against the United States government for twenty thousand dollars could be bought for about half this amount, and that he could ‘‘influence” the Third Auditor of the United States Trea- sury to take up this claim out of its order and pass it at once, when the only remaining required formula would be a warrant on the United States Treasury and pocketing the full amonnt of the claim. It was stipulated that the ciaim uegot.ator should bring this “4pfluence” to bear upon the Third Auditor at once. It is said that he agreed to do so, and next day reported that he had, and that the financial -functionary in question promised fortuwith to audit and allow the claim. The plaintiff paid over the stipulated price for the claim. Instead of being promptly allowed the claim was disallowed. Still smarting from the loss of his money, although tiis little trans- action occurred some four years ago, the piaintit! yesterday brought suit to recover the’ amouat. He claimed that the money was obtained from him through fraudulent repre- senlations, The defendant denied the allega- tions of fraud, and pleaded as a bar to the action that the plaintiff’ bought the claim in violation of the laws of the United States and knowing at the time that such purchase was in violation of such laws. The Judge put a quiet quietus on the suit by dismissing the complaint. Both parties, he said, were equally wrong, and to entertain such a complaint would be against publio policy and manifestly contrary to the plainest principles of justice. The suit and {te sequel portray a moral he who runs— and particularly after claims against the gov- ernment to buy them up cheap—may easily reud. Goop ror BrookitynN.—The Grand Jury have indicted the city jail of Brooklyn, in Raymond street, as a nuisance—first, because it is full of vermin; second, because, although there is plenty of room in the building, the cells are overcrowded ; and, third, because the Grand Jury have discovered some very gross bad ireatment towards a female prisoner. Now, let us ask whether there is not good work to be done in this city by our grand juries in looking after our jails, station houses and houses of detention? It is shameful that a large city like Brooklyn should have her jail in such a condition; but it is creditable to her that a Grand Jury can be found to remedy the evis NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 187] THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT PARIS.

This is made evident by the fact that the Ministers have asked for an ex- traordinary credit of one hundred and fitty or two hundred millions of lire for the completion of the armament of the kingdom, The debate upon the subject of the reorganization of the army has been closed in the Senate, and the adjournment of that body at an early day is ex- pected, The Italian Chamber of Deputies has approved the bill providing guarantees for the bishops of the Catholic Church.

Around a large and bountifally spread table in the grand banquet hail of the St, James Hotel, bright with fruit and fowers and gleaming with glass and Silver, the publishers of the Aldine gathered together last evening the best known New York wits, ‘Knights of the Good Company, and a Pleasant Journalists and men of letters to fittingly celebrate the triumphant success of thelr monthly venture. It was pre-eminently a Iterary banquet, Not a single unprofessional face inet the roving eye of the journalist as it made the circuit of the festive board. Kuights ot the quill of every rank were there—some of them the big fish, who write the big books and gain by letters the an- nual guerdon of the President of the United States Others scarcely so great, who eke out respectable salaries on the great journals by the manufacture of an occasional respectable volume, and others again, ‘the small fry of the literary fish pond, who live by | reporting fires, aud dinners, aud balls, and courts, and primary ward mectings, and dreadful ratiroad massacres, The press—religious aud secular, sporuve and sedate, commercial and sensational—contributed each its anatomical mite to this grand collection of successful pen drivers. Mr, Beecher, beaming with good humor, and every one of his many gray hairs— in his case, im sober truth, the witnesses of early piety—eleciritied by the spirit of the occasion stand- ing out in decorous excitement from the top of his heaa, presided.
