DUBLIN, JUNE 3.

Mr. Crybbace, to whose ease we have before alluded.
has now addressed a memorial to his Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant. A petition to the same effect, numerously
signed by the inhabitants of Londonderry, accompanies the
memorial. We concur with the Freemen in the assurance
that his Excellency will give due conzideration to both, and
decide according to the nrrifs of the case.
A TITHE MARTYRS FUNERAL—The remains of Mr.
Thomas Tyquin were, as we already noticed, on Thursday
removed from Dublin, from the scene of sufferings and per-
secutions which terminated in the decease of the father of a
young family—immolated on the altar of tithe rapacity.
Alas ! four victims have been remorselessly sacrificed by the
system—and to what end The spirit of the people re-
mains untired and unbroken, and the impracticability-of
collecting tithes is reedered more apparent by the results of
each fresh outrage on public feeling. The funeral of the
last martyr forcibly reminded us of the summer of 1532,
when the cholera raged with such banerel virulence. At
first, terror and wild affright were depicted in each counte-
nance ; but the frequency of the cot which contaiued the
dying patient going borne past lessened the novelty, but
not the apprehension ; and a melancholy gaze—perhaps- a
shudder—was all that marked the progress of the fearful
burdee. Tyquin's funeral nev very similar. It was brought
through Dublin quietly and privately. There was no parade,
no osteutation, no mockery of woe. The hour specified for its
departure in the few placard issu:el was changed, there was no
rendezvous appointed, no gathering wished for or expected.
On the hearse, and at several points along the read, a
placard was posted, of whiA the following is a copy :
" Funeral of Mr. Thomas Tyquin, of Shinrone, in the
King's County, TITHE VICTIM, who died on Tuesday, the
30th of May, 1337, white under imprisonment in the Four
Courts Marshalsea, Dublin, FOR TITHES. The funeral
will leave Dublin on Thursday morning, at seven o'clock,
and, proceeding through Rathcoole and Naas, will arrive at
Kildare, where the body will remain all night, and thence
be conveyed on Friday to Mouetratin and on Saturday to
Roscrea and Dunkerrin." The greatest sympathy-was
excited among all those who were made aware of the
mournful fate of poor Tyquin ; and exclamations both loud
and deep were breathed against a system in sustainment of
which, for the paltry Sum of 1/. 12s. Bd., the life of a fel-
low-creature had been sacrificed ; many too were the bless-
ings and prayers offered up foie the deceased.-- Several of
the respectable inhabitants have taken steps to inform the
country parishes of the fact that the funeral. will pass
through, and the very numerous attendance leaving the
town of Kildare twill be increased by hundreds every mile
the procession advances. There will not be less than from
6,000 to 10,000 persons accompanying this premature vic-
tim to the verge of his native county.
COUNTY MEETING.—The meeting of the leading geatry,
clergy, and people of this county, convened by the Sheriff,
en the requisition of ashiumerous and as respectable a body
of subscribers as have, for a long period, appeared in the
columns of a public Journal, was held yesterday in Dun-
garvan, and proved itself equally worthy the cause to sus-
tain which the assembly was called, and of the manly and
generous character of the different speakers. The prin-
cipal personages who appeared on the platform were Pro-
testant gentlemen of large and independent fortunes, whose
strong love for extensive Reforms in Church and State
?annot be surpassed by the professors of any other creed.
They spoke out their opinions with an energy of eloquence
and directness of purpose, which would hare told with
tremendoes effect, had any of those been among their audi-
tors, whose pursuits appear to consist in stirring up strife
and libelling a generous and hardy nation to
forward the views of a wretched and monopolising faction.—
Waterford Chronicle.
COUNTY GALWAY MEETlNG.—Whether we consider
the object of the proposed meeting, or the importance of a
nolitical movement in so extensive a county as that of
Galway, this requisition must excite considerable interest.
The highly distinguished names which head the list will
have due influence in the country ; and we hope that the
energetic expression of public feeling on this occasion will
be adopted by meetings in several other places, which have
not vet come forward ; and thus, that the universal voice
of Ireland mill reach the throne, and proclaim the neces-
sity of averting the dreadful c i is of a Tory restoration

NEW TITHE BILL.—Mr. S. Crawford has addressed a
letter to the agent of his Ridemond estate ; it has been
published in Belfast, and contains the following passage :
" I have opposed this proposition in its earliest stage ; and
I intend to continue that opposition in every stage of the
Bill ; because it is, in my opinion, really a Bill of oppres-
sion, under the false title of a Bill qf relief—because I
recoil from accepting this bribe—because 1 reject the de-
grading offer to put in my pocket this miserab!e pittance
of the tithes, on the condition of being a party to the de-
lusion of the people—on condition of becoming the prcctor
of the tithe owner, to levy this unjust tax (a." at present
appropriated) from my tenants, merely changing the name
trom•tithes to rent-charge, and from rentkharge to rent.
" But, then, in this opposition, 'I am standing in the
breach of a forlorn hope. Why? Because the people of
Ireland, Catholics and Protestants, give a tacit consent to
its provisions. Not a single petition has yet, to my lmow-
' ledge, been presented against it ; and numerous petitions
have come forward, expressive of confidence in, and ap-

pr)val of, the policy of the Government.
" Under these circumstances, it appears to me that the
people of Ireland are consenting parties to the acceptance
of this bonus, by those landlords who desire to receive it ;
and to the forcing the responsibility of the collection of.the
rent charge on tricke landlords who desi-e to avoid it.
"Novv, my object in addressing this to you, Sir, is, that
the tenants on my estates shall have full warning of the na-
tureor this Bill ; and, that they shall, a!so, have full warn-
ing that, in case ti!i; Bill be passed, if the•degraditg duty
be impose.: en me, of beccminff the proctor for the tithts, I
will not resist the law, after it shall become such by the act
of the Legislature—and I will hold myself justified in mak-
ing use of all its provi,i.lns, so far as I shall deem them
neccszary for my own protection, compensation, or security,
under the new responsibility which I shall be compelled to

ncur.
" I have further to observe, that, as the new rent-charge
would be payable within thirlsi-onc days (under the penalties
I have already stated), I shall feel myself warranted to
call, in like manner, for the prompt payment of my rents, in
order to enable me to make provision for the same."

PRESTON AND WYRE RAILWAY.—The works
on this railway arc proceeding very fast, nearly the whole dis-
tance from Bourn Naze to Peelton, upwards of three miles,
being ready for laying the permanent rails. Within the last
few weeks the contractor, Mr. Stanton, has commenced opera-
tions at Weeton, where he has made great progress, the works
being carried on throughout the night at this important point.
Nearly 300 men -and 4:5 horses are now actively employed.
The embankment in the Wyre is proceeding satisfactorily,
from 20 to 30,000 tons having been laid down there ; this has
caused an accumulation of sand, which has filled up the Fiber
side several feet in height.—Preston Chronicle.
SOUVENIRS OF A SUMMER IN GERMANY.—
om a dedication to Lady Chatterton, we surmise that the
writer of-these attractive Volumes is also of the better sex, and
that her travels must have been in company with the individual
thus addressed and her husband, Sir William. Be this, however,
as it may, we have great plea: are in sayiug that the volumes
would do credit to any association of grace and talent. They
are well calculated to be valuable travelling guides to whoever
may visit the country to which they relate. We cordially re-
commend them to cur readers, whom they will entertain, in-
fo:m, and improve, ;al no common degree.—Literary Gazette.
A Meeting convened by the Churchwardens of
Braintree, was hell last week in Vestry • for the purpose of
making a Church-rate, tbc edifiee of the Church being in -a
very dilapidated state, and a rate having been refused by the
majority of the inhabitants 'about six months ago. Much ex-
citement prevails in the town on the subject; end it is under-
stood that the ineetiag was convened on purpose to give the
Clau•chwardens an opportunity of making a rate without the
sanction of the mejority, if they were defeated, and try the
question at law.— Cheln4ord Chronicle.
lleckmond..vike Blanket Market continues extremely

" If the cant of patriotism be disarming, the re-cant

John Russell to Sir F. Burdett.
A farmer, a few days since, hrretiag a book-stall

owner. whether or not he had a book for sale wlaeh would in-

In Carlisle ga4 on Tuesday last, a female prisoner,
named Muir, died of grief and a broken heart. Shs was coll.
victed at the Si ring AS:izes, and seatenced tc four months'
haprisonment, fog stealing some ar:Lies of wearing apparel
w,il:st in service. She had been then only a few weeks married,
and the sense of her degraded situation as a pi isoner preyed so
bitterly on her mind as to lead, to nor early death, in a den-
! germ, ‘rhere no friend was present to soothe her dying sorrows.
