IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MAY 30.
The anniversary of his Majesty's birthday, which had fallen
on Sunday the 28th inst., was celebrated yesterday by a re-
view of the troops in the Phoenix Park—a grand dejeune,
given by his Excellency, the Lord Lieutenant, at the Vice.
regal Lodge—and by the other usual marks of respect proper
to such an occasion.
ANOTHER TITHE VICTIM.—The Rebellion Attorneys can
number another amongst the multitude of victims, and ano-
ther practical illustration has been exhibited of the blessings
which they confer upon the people of Ireland. A corre-
spondent informs us that " Thomas Tiquin, of Shinrone, in
the King's County, was arrested on the 14th of March last, at
the suit of the Rev. William Brownlow Savage, and committed,
under a writ of rebellion in Easter Term, to the Four Courts'
Marshalsea, from whence, having been seized with typhus
fever, he was removed, on Friday last, to Cork-street Hos-
pital, where he died this morning." Our correspondent adds
that " the arrest was illegal, and an action was commenced
against the Rev, plaintiff, which was to have been tried in the
sittings after this Term."
The party implicated is, however, perfectly safe from the
action. The law, or an abuse of the law, enabled him—
whether rightly or wrongly it would now be bootless to in-
quire--to incarcerate Tiquin as a rebel against tithes, and
pestilence has completed the work. The hand of death- re-
leased the tithe victim from the sufferings of a dungeon. The
Church loses the dead man's tithes, if he owed them; but the
Parson escapes a law-suit. Thus the account is balanced,
and the authority of the Christian Church, as by law esta-
blished in Ireland, is fully vindicated.—Dublin Evening Post.
A novel scene occurred at the City Auction Mart yesterday,
which we hope will prove an instructive lesson to all tithe
cormorants, and persons who endeavour to force from a recu-
sant and conscientious people the support of a Church from
which they dissent. The furniture lately taken from Dr.
O'Reilly in lieu of certain Ministers' money which he did not
deem himself, either by the moral or civil code, bound to
pay, was brought into the Mart in order to be put up for
sale, by two as ill-looking beings in the human form as
could be obtained to do the business of the Rev. person at
whose suit the distraint was matte. Several of our fellow-
citizens, taking an interest in the matter, attended, anxious,
no doubt, to witness the sale, if a purchaser could be found,
of which there appeared very little chance. The furniture
was brought in by degrees. At first two chairs were placed
on the floor, which the captors regarded with looks of self-
complacency, as trophies of their skill. Next came a table,
followed by other articles, which would furnish a pretty large
room. Having arranged them in order, and being brushed
up for the occasion to make them attractive in every sense of
the word, one of the captors proceeded to Mr. Sharpe and
informed him the nature of his business—hoping that a profit-
able disposal would be effected, for which that gentleman
would have the compliments and prayers of Archdeacon Ken-
nedy. Mr. Sharpe looked at the furniture with the eyes of a
connoisseur, and shaking his head very meaningly, coolly
told the agent of the Rev. Archdeacon, that he could have
nothing whatever to do with the matter—that the best
way to dispose of the articles was to brine- them whence they
came, as for his part he could not think of making a sale of
them. The captors, not calculating on such a disheartening
answer, made the best way out of the mart, amid the loud
laughter of nearly every one present. They then piled the
furniture on a barrow or hand-cart outside the door, remaining
there for some time the laughing-stock of a number of little
boys and girls who witnessed them. We understand that the
furniture taken from the Catholic curates by the emissaries of
the Archdeacon, was returned by his Reverence, with a noti-
fication that he would not sell it. This loo's very fair, indeed.
But we think we can discover a motive fur the apparent act of
generosity. Is it not true that an action at law at the suit of
one of the curates is now going on against the Archdeacon
for illegal distress? Could this have any thing to do in
shaking his resolution of selling the furniture of these clergy-
men ?-- Waterford Chronicle.
O'CONNELL TESTIMONIAL.—This city displayed its wonted
patriotism and devotion to the Liberator on Sunday, when a
collection, equalling, if not surpassing, the most sanguine an-
ticipations, was made to repay, in some measure, the great
debt due to him for his exertions in the cause of civil and
religious liberty, not alone in the land of his birth, but
throughout the universe, wherever his name and influence ex-
tend. The citizens came forward, willingly and cheerfully,
to give their mite towards the compensation fund. They
proved how fully they estimate the virtues and services
of the man who has been their faithful guardian, advo-
cate, and leader—who unceasingly toils for their political
welfare, and whose deserts can only be appreciated by
those who fully understand their immense value. It was
not the forced tribute of reluctant donors, but the spon-
taneous offering of a generous and attached people. In
the country and neighbouring towns' parishes, the same
enthusiasm was exhibited. With the Carrick-on- Suir, Car-
rickbeg, and Windgap subscription lists we elsewhere present
our readers. They indicate forcibly and truly how strong is the
attachment in which the people of these parishes hold the unri-
valled champion of their claims, and that they arc unwilling to
be rivalled in devoted generosity by any others in the king-
dom. In the parish of Moncoin there was a magnificent
contribution. No less than one hundred and five pounds
were awarded by that spirited and exemplary locality as
their donation to the fond. Our accounts from other pa-
rishes are equally cheering, and we have no doubt that
the testimonial of a brave but oppressed nation's gratitude
to the merits of its powerful and untiring advocate, will fully
come up to the desire of his best and most anxious friends.
Ross, with its usual generosity, contributed 70/ , and it is
expected that future contributions will raise it to 901. These
are facts which we would have the enemies of O'Connell, and
the cause of which he is the champion, and the people with
whom he is identified, well ponder. It is notorious that for
many years there has not been so great a dearth of money as
is everywhere experienced. Trade is stagnant—agricultural
produce is at the lowest ebb—scarcely is there anything doing,
and yet, when a call is made on the people to aid him who has
been long their ardent leader, they generously and firmly take
the opportunity of exhibiting to the world the estimate in
which they hold him, and their irresistible desire to further the
great cause in which he and they are equally embarked.—.
Waterford Chronicle.
GENERAL ASSOCIATION.—The proceedings of this body at
their last meeting had reference principally to the Addresses
to the King and the petitions in sustainment of the Melbourne
Ministry which have been so generally adopted throughout the
country.
CHARGE OF HIGH TREASON.—The Derry Journal gives
an account of the arrest of Mr. Crybbace, a clergyman, on a
charge of high treason. It appears that whilst he was preach-
ing to a large meeting of respectable people, chiefly shop-
keepers and tradesmen, assembled near the magazine, he was
unceremoniously seized by policemen, and carried to the guard-
house, and thence to the county gaol, where he now lies a
prisoner en a most extraordinary charge, advanced on the affi-
davit of a policeman, namely, that he did (we quote literally
from the warrant) " collect and harrang a number of persons
in the Diamond of said city, by saying that William the Fourth
had not a right to be the head of the Church, and that the
Bishops had not a right to receive the benefits they enjoyed ;
and, at the same time, made use of dangerous and improper
language." We hear that a memorial from Mr. Crybbace to
his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, has been forwarded, and
accompanied by a request from a vast number, including the
most respectable of the inhabitants, praying his immediate li-
beration.

The Freeman's Journal records the demise of its proprie-
tor, Mr. Patrick Lavelle, " a man," says the editor of that
journal, " whose services in the cause of Ireland will be grate._

fully remembered so long as public virtue is appreciated and
unswerving consistency admired in public men. Cut off in
the flower of his days, and in the full maturity of his intel-
lect, his loss will be long deplored by those who were ac-
quainted with the purity of his mind—the urbanity of his.man-
nors—the kindness of his disposition, and the sterling inte-
grity of his principles."
DISTRESS.-The County Down, as well as the Antrim,
weavers arc suffering severely ; but in Clare the distress is
truly dreadful, from the failure of the crops, particularly that
of potatoes. This calamity, which has not occurred since the
harvest of 1821, has brought nearly the entire of the popula-
tion to the verge of ruin. According to a letter from Mr.
Duggan, a parish priest, relief has been sought without much
success. Two or three persons, however, it seems, Messrs.
\Visby, Burton, Studdart, and Kean, have given some seed
out to their respective tenants.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 1.
STOCKDALE V. CHAPMAN, ESQ.

This was an action of alleged trespass and false impri-
sonment. The plaintiff had obtained a verdict, with 70/.
damages, and a rule had since been obtained to set aside
that verdict on the ground of excessive damages. The
plaintiff in person showed cause against the rule. Mr.
CHANNEL, in support of it, was stopped by the Court.
Rule absolute.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE 1.
ADDENBROOKE V. SCOTT, BART.

At the sitting of the Court this morning, Lord AnINGER
pronounced the judgment of the Court in this case, which
was argued yesterday. They were of opinion upon the
construction of the covenants that they were limited to the
mines and thick coal under the demised premises, which
comprised only 177 acres of the 300 over which the mines
extended, and to such portions as the occupations would
enable them to supply. Both covenants being therefore
limited to the demised premise!, the judgment of the Court
was in favour of the defendant, the plaintiff's lessor.

WALKER AND OTHERS V. RICHARDSON.

This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, the lessees
undiir the Bishop of Durham of the tolls and duties arising
within the port of Stockton, to recover from the defendants,
who are shipowners, the amount of certain anchorage and
plankage dues. The defence set up was that the port of
Stockton, though it might extend to the middle of the river
Tees, did not extend to Middlesburgh, on the Yorkshire
coast, where defendant's vessels were anchored. At the
trial-before Mr.. Justice Patteson, at the last Assizes for the
county of Durham, it appeared that the Bishop of Durham,
in 1829, had demised all his interest in the port of Stock-
ton for 21 years, with all anchorage, plankage, and other
tolls and duties to four persons, of whom plaintiffs were the
only two surviving, in trust for the corporation of Stockton,
.to keep the public streets and pavements of Stockton in
repair. The plaintiffs put in a long series of leases from
former Bishops, commencing so early as 1602, leasing the
tolls on the same trusts as in the lease of 182.9. The de-

fendant put in letters patent and petit.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, JUNE 1.
WARWICK AND CLAGGETT'S BANKRUPTCY.

The first meeting of the creditors under the fiat issued.
against Messrs. Warwick and Claggett, extensive American
merchants, was held to-day for the proof of debts and the
choice of assignees. M-. Warwick, who had absented him-
self since the firm became a bankrupt, had not surrendered
to the fiat up to the conclusion of this day's business. The
liabilities of the firm arc not yet ascertained with full cor-
rectness, owing to the state of the commercial claims with
America, and the assets will be comiaratively small. The
total amount of the proofs to-day we: e about 60,0001. Mr.
Meinertzhan and Mr. Pettyvaughan were chosen as as-
signees.

It is understood that the fiat issued against Madame
Vestris has been superseded, a composition having been
tendered and accepted by the creditors. The second meet-
ing of the creditors was fixed to take place to-morrow.
