We learn .from a person who bad recently oc-
casion to travel it; the northern parts of this county.
stud from thence into some parts of the county of
Limerick, that the peasantry appeared ill those places
to be pursuing their usual agricultural occupu-
tions. and where they are cot employed in these
labours, that the women are occupied in spinning
fl ix and wool. Oa his questioning some per-
sons of intelligence on the causes of complaint
among the peasantry, they all unequivocally re-
ferred to the onerous mode in which tithes are
collected. If thia source of cumplaiut was
once modified or corrected, they 'almost uui-
venially gave it as their opinion, that the chief
ground 31 diraffection would he removed. At the
same time nothing can exceed the wretchedness
which previils in most of the cabins of these people ;
in sonic places they are mostly uuthatched, sad
the rain pours down in torrents, except in the corner
where thriftiest fur the bed is placed.
On Suuday night last, * body of White Boys, in
search of fife arms. attacked the house of Mr.

Oa Moioliiy one of the villains was takeu into cus-
tody, at the fair of Mallow, by Mr. G. B. Lowe, and
ideuisfied by Mr. Frooks,jun.—(Cork Chronicle.)
TITHE CASES.
The Quarter Sessions for the County, which have
been held in the usual country towns, and which
have just terminated, have been rendered remarka-
ble. we uoderatatid, by * greater number of tithe
cases than has beets Lilowu for many years. To
what cause this circumstance is owing. whether to
the growlug resistauce on the part of the peasantry
to pay the heavy impost, or to greater severity than
usual ois the part of the proctors. we cannot say ;
but it is evident, while a system exists which is the '
parent of such perpetual litigation, the country
will 'lever know repose or trsuquillity, and we must
lay our account to hearing of outrages mid
turbatices.

In Middleton, we learn, the number of civil bills
was about one thousand, of which over seven hun-
dred were fur tithe cases; and in Alacroons, where
the processes were apwsrds of sixteen hundred,
thirteen hundred had their origin in the some fruit-
ful source of contention.

All this strife may bring revenue to the State,
and put tummy in the lawyerb' pockets; but it is
still infl,cting deep calamity on the country.

of Ballinvinsiy. to which Riverstown is situate.

duced his tithes this year to per cent..-(4ireirderrs
