DUBLIN, ounissn 31.

A communication has reached us, to which we
deem it expedient to give the 'tidiest publicity.
least a misrepresentation of the fact upon which it
is founded may furnish a subject of rejoicing to the
lower chiles of Oraugemen, or of unreasonable jea-
lousy to the snore enlightened close of the commu-
nity. The circumstances by which the Lord Mayor
came by a Knighthood. and the promise ohs Baro-
netcy, are simply-these: A. soon as the procession
'inched the Castle, his Excellency conferred the
honour of Knighthood on the Lord Maeor ;• but his
Lordship intimated to Mr. Blake, the Catholic
Barrister, that the Sheri& had been knighted, and
that on such occasions it was customary for the
Lord Mayor to look for a higher honour. M►.
Blake generously acted from the impulse of the
moment, and represented to the Marquis Wellesley
the suggestion of hits Lordship. The Noble Mar-
quis then kindly added the promise of recom-
mending hint for a Baronetcy. Thus a Lord Mayer
of Dublin, and a Lord Mayor, in the composition
of whose character liberality is no drstingnishiog
ingredient, is indebted to the generous recomm-n-
-dation of a Catholic Gentleman for the honour that
he hiss received. In this favour it is evident there
ix nothing 'political ; in it there is nothing that can
possibly be construed into an approval of the past
conduct of the Lord Mayor. Indeed we have some
reason for asserting, that Lord Wellesley was not
apprised of any thing that Mr. James—we beg par-
don—Sir Kingston James, may have done to con-
stitute him a person of political interest to any party
in this country. He recognised him only as the
Chief Magistrate of the metropolis of Ireland, and
if any other motive be even insinuated, we have
abundance of proof before us to disprove the mai-
nuation.—(Dablin Freenvon./

EFATE OF THE COUNTRY.
lIILLINNT.

A notice was served on the gamekeeper of P.
Power, Esq. of Tibbroughney, commanding him
to quit his house and service within seven day.,
" or have his coffin." The party who made the ser-
vice fired several slug. through his windows.
• A notice was posted at Pdtown, cautioning and
desiring Mr. Sandy., Rector of Fiddown, to di4-
' charge Adams, his Proctor, to reduce his tithes to
Is. Gd. per acre ; and not to execute any decree fir
tithes, at his peril—that if he did he should be
sorry for it ! !

A similar notice was posted, stating that Adsmr,
the Proctor, should not, under any circumstances.
be allowed long to live, " so to prepare for death."
A very well written notice, signed by Marshal
Iteston, Mar►hal Feassought. and Geueral Reek,
was posted, prior to service, at White
remptorily directing all landlords st
reduce their rents and tither; and orderii
sour, having taken lands during the last
to surrender them, and all middle men
their ground to their tenants; and that
paving mo e than 40s. per acre for
meet the same death as the Sheas.

A party went to a farmer's house at
placed fire to the thatch, determined
down, finless he gave up his arms, which
Connell is the name of this farmer.
But the most audacious of these criminal
ciations is that which folluvrc—A letter
into the l'iltown Post-Office, addressyd
man of the Meeting to be held there
day, forbidding all persons whatsoever,
meeting, to take the Oath of Allegiance,'
the consequences! but that the meet
order and resolve, chat rents sod tithes
