AN OBELISE, one hundred and fifty feet in height, now stands upon the opposite side of the river, near the en- trance to a picturesque glen. It commemorates the prot where William of Orange was wounded on the rat day of the battle by a shot from a masked bat- tery. The battle that consisted of only an ar- fiulery duel, but ttf following moi forces forded the river, and attacked the Irish army in front and upon both flanks.

Although. the irish cavalry had gained a temporary advantage, and Duke Schomberg, William’s second in command, had been killed, yet the Irish infantry, being un- disciplined, were seized with a panic and fed. ‘King James was among the earliest of the fugitives.

The — antry of Willlam, on the contrary, as, Managing the bridie rein with his wounded arm and holding his sword in his left hand, he led his respira excited the admiration of friend and joe alike. “ONANGE KINGS and we'll fight the battle over again,” is said to have been the exclamation of Sarstleld and other gallant Irish officers, Though the war in Ireland was not terminated until the defeat at Aughrim, July 12, 1691, its result ‘was at no time doubtful after the battle of the Boyne, and that may be considered the decisive pontics, The spirit of the Catholic population was horoughily crushed by thetr misfortunes, and many of their noble yramilfes sought a volun- tary extle abroad, while from the remainder for many ‘ears, to use the language ot Macaulay “there was no more danger of a Tising against the dominant party to be appre- hended, than of a rising of the women and chil- dren against the men.” ‘The 'l'reaty of Limerick was indeed moderate in {ts provisions, but the penal laws subsequently euacted by the Irish Parliament are among tie worst specimens of class legislation, Hallam, a historian of acknowledged impartiality, after Mates their provisions thus sums up their re- Bu “These tremendous statutes, which have scarce ® paratle! in European history, had m some mea- sure the effect which their framers designed. The Catholics wore extinguished as a political body. To have exterminated them by the sword, or ex- pellet them like the Moriscoes of Spain, would have pecn littie more repugnant to justice and human- city, but vastly more politic.’ WHAT THE CHURCH TEACHES. pe A Catholic Organ Speaks for Peace and Harmony. [From the New York Tablet, for this week.} {t seems that the Orangemen of this city are de- termined to waik through our streets on the 12th inst. The sad memory of the events which marked the day, one year ago, with a iatal and indellible @tain lias aroused in any of our fellow citizens, of all natioualities, an apprehension of a recurrence this year of similar lamentable scenes, For our pare We entertain no such fear, and we cannot help hinking that the exaggerated apprehensions for some wecka past expressed in some of our city jour- nals spring either from a morbid craving for sensa- tion or from a dark and malicious endeavor to bring haves that which is affected tobe deplored. We ave not forgotten the perverted energy with which he “riot” of last 12th was fomented by certain organs of an unholy stripe. We trust, in all sin- cerity, that the malice which actually rejoiced, in the somowhat too flippautly styled “Irish” riot of last 12th will not be gratified by a similar ove ‘break this time. In this connection we ma; ermitted to say that the clergy. of the Catholic hurch will do their duty in warning their flocks fSgainst interfering with any procession wherewith Orangemen may see fit to keep the 12th. Those who are in the habit of “hearing the Church” will, assuredly, never be led into any riot or violation of the peace, and as for misguided men who, keeping out or the way of her voice, obey but the law of their own passions, the Catholic Church is surely not responsible. So much for tho religious view of the case, We have a ‘word to say of that which will be the better part in @ mere human sense. If the Orangemen of New York parade on the 12th let those who are op- pone to such parade swatiow their displeasure and leave the Orangemen to themselves. hen acer- fain handful of Italians in this city undertook, last August, to pee: in honor of Italy “unified, city journals of well known anti-Catholic pro clivities were in sore apprehension of Irish-Catho- dic interference, But trish Catholics held their hands and stood aloof, and the pro-Italia “proces- sion’ became the lamest of fizzles. Without per- secution there 4s nothing in an Orange procession to awaken public sympathy here, and without that @ympathy such processions will certainly give trouble to no one, and very little gratification to ‘fhe participants. ORANGEMEN IN CANADA. Orrawa, July 11, 1872, , Mr. Johnson, M. P., and Grand Master of the Orangemen in Ireland, who is now visiting this country, was entertained at a banquet here last night. He spoke in very cordial terms of his recep- tion by the Canadian Orangemen and expressed as- tonishment and gratification at the evidences of prosperity he saw on every hand. He will be pres- ent at the Orange celebration at Kingston to-mor- row, where av immense turnout is expected. Great preparations are being made throughout the -Dominion for the celebration of the twelfth, MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS, The Board of Audit, A meeting of this Board was held yesterday ymorning.

The document, which was lengthy, recited the progress of legislation in reference to the advertisement claims, and also commented on the judgment of Judge Barrett in the Pomeroy case, Counsel urged that a fair and liberal con- struction of the Judgment of Judge Barrett and the action of the Legisiature sup te the Board of Audit in ordering the payment of the claims of these newspapers. “THE STOCKHOLDER.” AN application was read from the Stockholder stating that it would be taken as a signal favor if a judgment obtained last year against the city for advertising, In amount with interest $10,668 43, was paid without delay, as the proprietors are in want of money. The application and counsel's opinion were laid --over, and the Board adjourned until Thursday next, at twelve M. board of Supervisors. The adjourned meeting of the Board of Super- ‘visors was held yesterday at one o'clock. A quo- Tum not being present the Board adjourned until Monday next, at one ovclock.

Alderman Conover moved that the several city railroud companies raise the pavement {nside their tracks to a level with the established grade of the street and tho pavement on elther side; also, that the Commissioner of Public Works hereafter prevent the said city railroad companies from lay. ing any rails unless the same shalt be flat and square on the outer edge, so as to allow the street to be paved to a level with said ratis, On motion of Aklerman Vance the repairs and alterations were ordered to be done by the Commis- sionor of Public Works, If the rattroad companies did not do it, and charge the same to the respec. tive companios, Department of Docks. fhe Departinent of Docks presented a printed an- nual report of the proceedings of the Board for the present year, Alderman Vance said that was not all that fhe Aldermen wanted us an answer to the request, but, to meet that dimicul » Woull move that tne report of the Department of Docks be re- ferred to the Finance Committee, which was agreed to.

A QUIET DAY ALL AROUND. ——~- Money Easy at 8a 4 Per Cent. The Stock Market Dull, but Higher and Strong. A FLUCTUATION OF TWO PER CENT IN ERIE. The Terms of Issue of the New Consoli- dated Mortgage Loan. Cold Firm and Governments a Shade Lower. Conversion of New York Cen- tral Serip. A Little Flurry Among the Cotton Dealers. Watt! Sree, } Taurspay, July 1i—6 P. M. On 'Change to-day the chief feature was a reac- tion in the tone of the cotton market, with a firmer feeling generally, consequent upon advices from the South that the CATERPILLARS have made their appearance in numbers enough to threaten the growing crop, especially as the warm, wet weather recently prevailing has had a ten- dency to assist the development of swarms of tho destructive insect. The short crop of 1868 was, it will be remembered, owing to the inroads of this creature. The flour market was steady, the de- mand running rather on wheat, which was moder- ately active and firm. THE BANK OF ENGLAND rate of discount remains unaltered at the minimum at which it was adjusted a few weeks since—viz., 3 per cent. The weekly bullion report shows a de- crease of £521,000. It was fortnightly settling day in London, or “medio,” to-day, and the aberrations of Erie in that market are attributed to the occa- sion, THE GOVERNMENT SALE OF GOLD. The bids for the government gold were twenty- two in number, calling for a total of $4,506,000 at prices ranging from 113.55 to 113.94. fora time it was thought this large amount would tempt the Secretary of the Treasury to sell two millions, but the award was confined to one million, which was disposed of at 113,94 a 113,88, MONEY 3 A 4 PER CENT. The money market was easy and quiet at3a4 per cent on call loans, with pledge of the usual col- laterals of the Stock Exchange. The stock brokers were supplied in great part at 33s per cent—a na- tural compromise, and a splitting of rates indioat- ing a full supply at 4 per cent and a good demand at3, Prime paper was quoted 5a7 per cent dis- count, Foreign exchange was a shade steadier and quoted 109% for prime sixty day sterling and 1103 @ 1103s for sight bills. GOLD 113% a 114. The gold market was dull and firm with the sales at 113% and 114 alternately, the quotation standing 113% @ 114 at two o'clock, when the board ad- Journed out of respect to the memory of Mr. C. W. Beebe, one of the organizers of the board anda Member of the old bullion brokerage firm of Beebe Brothers, whose house was a landmark in the Wall street of bygone days, before national banks were known and when gold was oftentimes at a discount of 4 @ % percent as compared with “good, handy city bank notes, which you could carry about with you, boys.” The large amount of gold bid for at the Sub-Treasury had a tendency to keep the market firm. On the other hand our bonds in Lon- don were quoted steady. The SPECIE SHIPMENTS to-day reached the amount reported last night as engaged being $1,193,990, inclusive of a small pro- portion of silver, The amount put up for Saturday is said to be $1,600,000, but the engagement Is sub- ject to “conditions,” doubtless the temper of the foreign exchanges meantime, and may be partially receded from. The Sub-Treasury paid out $623,000 on account of interest on the public debt and $30,000 in redemption of the called five-twenties of 1862. In the gold loan market the rates ranged from 2to4 per cent for carrying. The operations of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows:— Gold cleared. $39,146,000 Gold balances 2,047,052 Currency balances. . + 2,840,358 GOVERNMENTS “OFF.” The government bond market was very dull and prices a trifle lower, its tone being steady, how- ever, the slight yielding in quotations being the consequence as much of the extreme dulness as of anything else. The following were the prices at the close of business:—United States currency sixes, 114% a 115; do. do., 1881, registered, 115% a 115%; do. do., do., coupon, 117% @ 11744; do. fiv twenty, registered May and November, 114% a 115; do, do., 1862, coupon, do., 114% a 115; do. do., 1864, do., do., 114% a 115; do. do., 1865, 1153 a 115%; do, do., 1867, registered January and July, 114 8 114% ; do, do., 1865, coupon, 113% a 114; do. do., 1867, do., 115 @ 115%; do, do., 1863, do., 114% @ 115; do. ten-forty, registered, 11134 a 111%; do. do., coupon, 11244 a 1125¢; do. fives of 1881, registered, 11334 @ 113%; do. do., coupon, 11344 a 113%. THE SOUTHERN LIST QUIET. The Southern State bonds were generally quiet and steady, the only change of note occurring in the new South Carolinas, which were about one-half per cent lower. The folowing were the closing quota- tions :—Tennessee, €X coupon, 7444 & 75; do., new, 7444 075; Virginia, ex coupon, 44a 50; do., regis- tered stock, old, 38 a 45; do., sixes, consolidated bonds, 51 @ 5234; do., sixes, deferred scrip, 16 a 17; Georgia sixes, 72a 78; do., sevens, 86a 89; North Carolina, ex coupon, 83 a 34; do. to North Caro-’ lina Railroad, 41 a 43; do, funding, 1866, 26 a 30; do. do., 1868, 24 a 25; do. new, 21425; do. special bai anl St. Joseph, 91 a 92; Loutsiana sixes, 50 a 58; do,, new, 46 a 55; do, levee sixes, 60 a 65; do. do. eights, 75 @ 80; do. do. elghts, 1875, 80 a 85; Alabama fives, 60 @ 65; do. eights, 848 86; South Carolina sixes, 55 a 56; do., new, January and July, 29 a 20%; do. do.; April and October, 26 @ 27; Ar- Kansas sixes, funded, 52 @ 55, THE RAILROAD BONDS.

STOCKS DULL AND STRONG. The stock market displayed hardly any improve- ment in the matter of business, but was decidedly stronger in tone, particularly jate in the day or after opportunity had been given to Erle to exe- cute {ts usual gymnastics and retire into quiet. The “point? was treely circulated to buy New York Central, with success enough to cause a rise in that stock to 98%; one theory of the movement being the reported fatention of Mr. Vanderbilt to do something in tne way of an increased rate of dividends, ighout all the vicissitudes to which the Erie upany has been exposed its revenues have EXIT “goRtP.'" New York Central scrip, or, ag it wasso long fami- liarly termed at the Board, “scrip,” until the initia- tion of Commodore Vanderbilt's peculiar process of “watering” led to other and later “scrips,’’ has passed out of existence, and its namo is stricken from the official list at the Board, yesterday, July 10, haying been the day on which it was cdanverted into stock in furtherance of the resolution of the directors of New York Central adopted last month. After the Ist of August Lake Shore “scrip will share a like fate and disappear from existence by a similar conversion. In the case of ERIE the movement was erratic, but, as before, closely sympathetic with the course of the London quota- tion. The first sales were at 53%, succeeding which came an advance to 55 with a heavy busi- ness, later a decline to 534, and lastly a rally to 64% and a quiet ending in the vicinity of that figure. The situation as regards Erie is greatly be- fogged. There is a heavy ‘short’? interest out- standing and a good deal of volunteer information consequently as to the utter worthlessness of the stock, allof which fails to make any serious and lasting impression upon its quotation, the “bulls,” whoever they may be, seeming to be willing to take enormous amounts when the price gets down NEAR 50. Pacific Mail was the next feature of interest on account of widest fluctuation, its price having ad- vanced an even one per cent, when elsewhere the vise appeared to be about 3 per cent, taking an average of the extremes of the day in the usual speculative favorites, HIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES.

An adjourned meeting of the holders of the bonds of South Carolina was held at the office of Drake Brothers, No. 65 Broadway, at noon yeater- day, with a view of taking some united actiom looking to the enforced payment of the interest om the bonds held in this city. At the previous meet- ing it was clearly shown that the resources of the State were abundantly suMcient to meet the tm dehtedness were the treasury not syatematioalig robbed »y the carpet-paggera, A. A. Drake acted as chairman, After the read- ing of tho minutes of tho previous meeting by Goodwin Ward, Secretary, a lettor waa read from @ gentleman in Baltimore, reporting that he bought bonds at sixty-five, and when they dectined to fifty he wrote to Governor Scott asking ifanything waa wrong. The Governor responded that the State was able to pay, The letter refers to the com- mencement of legal proceedings to compel Scott and his associates to dlsgorge; but they were de- ferred by the sudden death of Mr. Brent, the coun. selfor the Baltimore bondholders, It appears that Mr, Brent had ascertained where a large amount of the stolen money could be found, and he intended to continue both criminal and civil proceedings, looking to the punishment of the offenders aud tho recovery of the money misapplied, A lengthy legal opinion on the subject of tho rights of the crediior to recover from the state read from ex-Governor Magrath, who advise € bill be Med*in the United States Court to cor the agents of the State to make a statement of tie disposition of the funds, and that a prayer be adde® for an tojunction restraining them from turther misappropriation. The Governer, who ta one of the ablest jurists of South Carolina, gives tt as hte optnion that the creditors would time recover, although it would require lengthy tigation, The following resolution was offered :— Resolved, That a committee of three person . 1, &. B. We and aA Di pointed to solic the ers or the bonds of the State of South Carolina in tho at- tempt to collect the past due coupons, with authority to engage counsel to commence legal proceedings aualnse the officers of the Stato on its legal financial bond, Also to raise tunds by subscription to promote such proceed- ings without delay. ‘esolved, That’ all parties interested be earnestly re- quested to assist said committee by as carly subscription ts possible, Mr. W. R. Dantina moved asa substitute that a committee be appointed to confer with the bond- holders and report at another meeting, which waa carried, The committee consists of Messrs. &. A. Quintard, E. B, Wesley, Willlam R, Darling and A, . Drake as ex eficio members. Mr. OC, L, Cuicunsver, of Charleston, declared that all the taxes have been collected, often threo times over; that they are not used for the purposes raised; that for want of funds there 1s nof a publto school open tn the entire State; that the lunatics have been turned ont of the asylum, sent back te their respective counties, where they run wild; that the inmates of the prisons have been turned out, and the people were poor, ruined in fact. It was necessary if any action be taken that it be at once, as the gubernatortal clection occurs in November, and the ring thieves, who are building palaces in Ohio and other States, will not remain in the State. Several other gentlemen, tn- cluding Messrs. Herbert and Underhill, urged im- mediate action, Mr, Underhill reported that suey intended to take out executions on property i this county owned by the ring. he committee were instructed to retain Gov- ernor Magrath, of South Carolina, and Mr. Herbert as logal advisers, The meeting wijourned, to re- Sesemblo noxt Thursday, at noon, at the same place.

The Killing of OMcer Donahue. About one o'clock last Sunday morning OMcer John Donahue, of the Fifth precinct, E. D., who was a very worthy official, attempted to disperse @ gang of rowdies from the corner of First and Union streets. One of them, who possessed himself of a cart rung, struck the ofMicer over the head from behind and crushed tn his skull. From his wounds it would appear that the blow was repeated, ‘The officer was removed to the City Hospital, where he lingered unconscious until yesterday, when he died, He leaves a wife and family.

When the fatal shot was fired Quail stood about the centre of the room in the rear of the store, and deceased stood upon the threshhold of the door, about four feet fron his assasain—so close, in fact, that he received the full charge of the powder as well asthe ball. The missile of death entered at the righteye, and, crashing through the skall, passed out, breaking the Tung’ over the store door and falling tu tha street.
