We have only one or two observations to make on
this letter. With regard to the dues claimed by
the Catholic Clergy, we have no doubt that our
correspondent is correct with respect to the fact ;
hut though these dues may occasionally have led to
resistance on the part of the peasantry, we believe
that the demand of tithes has been the more Unarm-
,
diate cause of the recent disturbances. There are
many facts in our possession that would justify
this conclusion, but we shall content our-elves wit ii
teferting to an official document, which puts the
question beyond a doubt. We allude to the Reso-
lutions passed at Kilcosinel. in this county, in Octo-
ber last, end published in this Journal about that
period. They were proposed by Mr. Mahon, a
gentleman of considerable properly, end intimately
ricipsaiiittil with the county, and the causes of the
disturbances—who knows the character of tile
peasantry well—a practical man beside. and who
filled the official situation of Judge A•iet.edie in
this district during the Rebellion. the Resolutions
were seconded by Mr. Minden, of Ballydo-
orlon, a gentleman of great possessions in the
comity, and a man, geurially, attached to the in-
terests of Gosertnent. The sixth Resolution is
as follows :

irintilig will teed isamtllo preserve peace and
grit air among the lower claws of society. than the
declifillel• thews the relay...at of their properties, in the

some ClergyMem of the Established Church, to introduce
the parnea‘of the tithe of hay, soil ether &Metes, within
thea county, contrary to such immemorial usages and cots.
Wats, as tending, IN its consequences, to disturb that good
order sod peaceable demeastur fur which the inksbitawla of
this county have bees generally distiuguished."
We cannot conclude this article, without revert.
ing again to the meritorious exertions of the CM
tholic Clergy its this district. They have been, ite•
deed. most exemplary.
That the statements of the provincial Journals
are to be received with great caution, is manifest

We have ti'lltitiationable authority for stating
that a large party of Ribbonmen came to the house
of Canino, within two miles of this town, about
live o'clock this morning, and surrounded it, while
come of them dehtlinded admittance, rind threat-
ened to break iu Flie door if their demind was not

the South Mayo Militia, on hewing 'of the first

plied, " merely to get the lire-army, and swear the
servants." By thie time the two brothers of the
Lieutenant came into the room, armed. aided by
the servants of the house, and made their
