DUBLIN. JANUARY lA.

It is mill that the Theatre will close to-morrow
night, the Attir of the Potent being still moire-Wed.
It is most rxtr.onlinary that the interests and dis-
pates of u.clividnals should thus be suffered to
terfere w.i h the tights of the public.
On Sot tini.ty, the Sth instant, as Gen. Brownrigg
was reses.mog rum Cloncillo to town, be was

severe disloctoi,, .of his shoulder. It was reduced

We are concerned to state, that on Friday last a
most unfortunate air, occasioned by a resistance
of the (weltered in a remote part of this coun-
ty. Some con-13bles, aided by a party of the mili-
tary, and accompanied by Mr. Wu►. Burgess, went
to execute n livisch warrant, near Ballyhacket. On
arriving at the lonise, they were opposed by several
persons aimed pitchforks, who attacked the
party, and wounded one mail, a soldier
of the loth rig•• ient. lit the scuffle, the fellow
who he•irled tip; 'wisdoms was shot dead, and twn
others w inn l.rl. We understand that this deplor-
able busiortas oris►nated in an effort to collect tithes.
About two years ago some property was wised and
rescued, its. which the bench warrant above men-
tioned was issued against the party. On attempt-
ing to execute this, the result has bee►► as already
stated. The resisting party consisted of four men
(brothers) of the name of Griffin—two of them have
been brought into this toms prisoners, the third
being despaired of.
We have uniformly preached obedience to the
laws, but we 'Wok they should, if poesible, hr en-
forced without violence, or the shedding of blood.
We have used every effort to ascertain the facts
tit this case. and we believe that they are accurate;
however, we could wish there was some commuta-
tion of the tithe system, which would put an end to
the necessity of these kind of proceedings.—(Cor-
low Nursing Post.)
O.► Monday there was a Coroner's filmiest held
on the body of Sylvester Griffis., the man who was
