DUBLIN, JUNE 1.
TYQUIN VIE TITHE VICTIM.--The poor felloW has gone
to his last home; yesterday his remains were removed to
Shinrone. It will be recollected that the whole' amount
claimed by the Reverend plaintiff of Tyquin, amounted to no
more than thirty-two shillings and eightpenee. His case was
simply this—There were two bills filed by the Rev. William
Browulow Savage, for tithes of the two separate parishes of
Kilmurry and Kilcommon, in the King's County. Tyquin
was made a defendant in the Kilmurry one, and having been
duly served with process, au appearance was entered for him in
the name of Mr. John Chadwick, nu attorney. Tyquin's name
was afterwards struck out of the Kilmurry bill by the ll'inin!iff's
own attorney,
,and inserted in the Kilaommen hill, and they
actually proceeded to enter up process against h;:m in that suit,
upon his appearance in the former one.
'the Dublin Evening Post, in some tsble and well-timed
remarks on the circumstances of the case, says, " We have
the fact of the irregularity admitted., and two conflicting affi-
davits, about the explanatory circumstances; and yet, in a
custody case like this, with the 'man in gaol for contempt only,
Barron Pennefather, sitting for himself, in open Court, re-
fused this man's applicatieei to be discharged, with costs ! and
the grounds on which *he founded his order were, that Mr.
Talbot should have stated the facts contained in his last affi-
davit in the first tnstance, whereas it appears evident that they
were called teeth in answer to the extraordinary statements of
Mr.- •Smiti.-:" Look at the consequences of giving costs
against a prisoner in custody, continues our Contemporary :
" What are all the poor wretched paupers who crowd our
gaols to do, if they can only apply to be discharged at the risk
of such a penalty ? In many cases, an order, with costs,
is a sentence of perpetual imprisonment, and, as in poor
Tyquin's case, can only be rescinded by the death of the ictim.
If ever there was a case that called for public investigation it is
this : the facts in this case arc admitted by all, and we trust
that many days will not elapse before the British public will
be put in possession of them. As there is a tribunal to which
' even the highest are amenable, we trust, for the sake of justice
to the dead, and of safety and protection to the living, that an
inquiry will be instituted into the circumstances we have de-
tailed ; and that a decision it ill not go unquestioned, involving
principles of such a perilous and astounding nature."
GALWAY.—A most important requisition has emanated, for
convening a meeting, with a view to express public opinion on.
the present aspect of affairs, and confidence in the present
Government of the Earl of Mulgrave.
DR. WHALES'S RESOLUTION s.—ln reference to the tesrAtt-
tions recently agreed to by Dr. 111•11a1e. and the Crtholie
clergy of his diocese, on the subject of Tithes, Corporation
Reform, and other social ameliorations, the 13'efast News
Letter admits that the language of these resolutions is not of
the violent character ascribed to them ; 'out, says the News
Letter, " their meaning is abundantly significant." " Open
war," our Belfast contemporary coetieues, " is now declared
against the Established Church as such, and an intimation is
given to the landed proprietary, that, under the arrangements
of the Ministerial Tithe Bill, the agitation which is at pre-
sent directed against tithes and parsons will be transferred
to rents and landlords. The impolicy of these resolutions
must be felt by every one who wishes to see the disteae-
lions of Ireland removed in an amicable manner, but which.
removal can never be accomplished, if the extreme ground
assumed in this ill-timed document is to be seriously main-
tained. We long feared that it would come to this, and
that the ominous delay which has occurred in regard to a final
settlement of the tithe question would originate a still more
dangerous agitation, and our worst fears are evidently on the
eve of fulfilment. There is a deliberateness about the reso'u-
tions in question which precludes the idea of their having been
hastily ad6pted, and if the sentiments which they express shall
be generally responded to by a certain class of the population
of this country, as there is too much reason to apprehend w',ll
be the case, we can only state our conviction, that as a tration
we have yet experienced but the beginning of troubles.'
The events of each succeeding Session of Parliament, are ren-
dering everything like a fair compromise still were hopeless
than before."
NATIONAL PRESENT —A rumour has reached us which
we hope will he confirmed in the result, Chet it is the intention
to purchase the Thomastown est:tes, which are advertised to •
be sold, and make them a present to the Lherator. Than
those estates there are few in the world superior. Situated in
the heart of the great county ei Tipperary, they arc unrivalled
for richness of soil, and mat;niiieence, and beauty of scenery.
It would be a present wort'ay the great man in whom a nation
Col;fldCS—Zild not less WOr:ily the generosity and geod-will of
the nation towards him. We should siuccrely hope that. the
rumour is correct.— Wutetford Chronicle.

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—The performances
last night were for the benefit of Mr. Rodvrell ; and it having
been rumoured that Mr. Liston was to take his final farewell
of the stage on this occasion, the house was filled in every
part. It was barely possible to obtain standing room long
before the half-price commenced. The performances began
with Henry the Eighth, after which Madame Pasta sang, as
she only can sing) " I tool frequenti palpiti," and very nar-
rowly escaped an encore. Mr. Planche's amusing burletta A
Peculiar Position then introduced Mr. Liston in the charac-
ter of Monsieur Champignon, which he played with his accus-
tomed excellence. Ile was called for at the fall of the cur-
ta'n, and made the usual bow of acknowledgment for the com-
pliment. We do not know yet whether the public has lost
him entirely as an actor, as the bills did not announce last
night's as his final performance ; and it has been stated that
he is to appear at least once more—probably for his own benefit.
COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE AND
HUMOURIST FOR JUNE, EDITED BY THEODORE HOOK, ESQ••-•
This amusing miscellany continues its gay career with una-
bated spirit. The present number is embellished with a
striking and characteristic likeness of James Smith, and one
of the articles is a pleasant and pungent, memoir of his life.
The Gurney Papers are continued in the true Gurney spirit.
Captain Mal-ryat gives the continuation of his new tale of the
sea, the Phantom Sint). Mrs. Norton contributes some har-
monious sentimentalities to Sappho: The Tiger Hunt on the
Neilgherry Hills is as spirit-stirring as if the incidents were the
offspring of an inventive imagination, instead of being matters
of fact. Shakspeare in China, by Douglas Jerrold, is au inge-
nious satire. Buckstcne and Alfred Crowquill have enriched
the number with two excellent papers, and Bibo Perplexed
threw us into an agony of perspiration and distress. Whoever
the author of this classical atrocity may be, he certainly de-
serves a patent as the most perdurable perpetrator of puns and
plays upon words that have ever emulated the influence of
Shakspeare's bagpipe.—Morning Post.
THE PEERESS; A BIOGRAPHICAL NOVEL.--.
EDITED BY LADY CHARLOTTE BIMY.—TheFC volumes con-
tain the romantic experiences of a life of no every-day vicissi-
tude—the acute observations of a mind of uncommon strength
—and they are written with a pen at once so playful and pow-
erful, so brilliant and so elastic, that ever had the subject for
i.s exercise been wanting in the stimulant of interest, it would
have invested it with attractions, and set forth a story full of
point. But it happens that the subject is of an exactly oppo-
site order, and even in ungifted bands would have absorbed the
attention of many circles of society, the more distinguished
ones especially ; as it is, we know of no class that will not
peruse these pages with mingled feelings—pleasure preponde-
rating ever all in the main, and admiration of the writer over-
mastering every prejudice which the reader's own prejudices
may now and then provoke. —Court Journal

CAPTAIN ALEXANDER'S VOYAGE AMONG THE
COLONIES OF WESTF.RN AFRICA.—The public have reason to
esteem very highly their present entertainer, both as an officer
and as an author. Captain Alexander- by this new work will
considerably advance his reputation. He sailed at the close of
1834, in the Thalia, which, on her way to the - Cape of
S'orms, touched at Madeira, Tcneriffe, Sierra Leone, Cape
Coast, and many other places. The whole of South Africa
was found, on arriving at the Cape, to be in commotion. Cap-
tain Alexander followed Sir B. D'Urban to the scene of inva-
sion, and was placed on the personal staff of the Commander-
in-Chief. He had thus an opportunity' of giving a true ac-
count of the Kaffir war and' its causes. Every chapter adds
its testimony to the acuteness and diligence of our author, who
speaks his mind freely, whether of a Kaffir chief, or of a semi
political missionary. Altogether the work will be found one
of the most important of the season.

A RGOED COLLIERY._ Out of the thirty-two per,
sons involved in this calamity ten have been preserved.
On Friday afternoon, the mine was emptied sufficiently to ad..
mit several persons to enter the shaft, and six men were se-
lected from the numbers presenting themselves, who immedi
ately sought the courses of the mine most likely to lead to the
recovery of the bodies. On teaching the shaft +they fell in
with several bodies of the drowned men, and were attracted to
an air-hole in the sean by hearing groans issuing therefrom.
It is impos%Ne to deieribo the joy felt by these Men on dis-
covering ten of their companions, four men and six lads, still
living. The poor fellows had crept into the narrow passage,
where they bad sustained life for three days and two nights.
They were in the most exhausted condition, so weak from wet„
cold, and hunger, that they could not walk. Notice was given
to Ow medical gentlemen of the neighbourhood, several of
whom immediately attended at the pit's mouth, and dire,_•ted
the best mode of treatment to each sufferer as be arrived at the
‘orfa ce.
