TITHES.

In the neighbourhood of Borneen, near Cavan, county
*heath, on Monday, two men, about to serve law processes
upon a person named Brangan and others, at suit of the
Hon. and Rev. Dean Packenham, were attackrd by a nu-
merous party, severely beaten, dipped in a bog-bole, and
compelled to tear the process.
Another case of the same sort recently occurred at
Templemore, where a threatening notice was sent to Mr.
Crawford. _

On Thursday, the 14th, a bailiff, named Shean, accom-
panied by Mr. George Burchill, the local agent of the Rev.
Robert St. Lawrence, proceeded to the lands of Tullyglass,
in the parish of Morragh and within about three miles of
Bandon, to serve supmnas, for tithes due to that Rev.
Gentleman. Shean proceeded to the house of Thomas
Bradfield, while Mr. Burchill remained at a short distance,
and succeeded in serving one. Shean had no sooner done
so than an attack was made upon him by four men, who
struck him with stones, and knocked him down and took
from his pocket the original Supaena. He is desperately
cut on the head, and several parts of his body are marked
with blows of stones.

THE TITHE CAMPAIGN.-The. Faction—the Orange-
Tory-Conservative crusaders plainly desire nothing so
much as to see in operation that sanguinary system of ex-
termination—
Which (the Dublin Post justly says) did not succeed against
half a million of men.
Which did not succeed after ten rebellions.
Which did not succeed, although the land of the country
was forfeited three times over.
Which did not succeed, even with the infernal machinery of
the Penal Code.
Which did not succeed with all the power of mighty Eng-
land, flushed with the victories of Marlborough, and undisputed
mistress of the ocean.
We aro told to prosecute this system ; and under what cir-
cumstances ?
The people of Scotland are with us. Their representatives
have declared it.
The people of England are with us. Their municipalities
have declared.it. .
The people of Ireland are with us. The registries have
pronounced it..
The Commons of the Empire have said that tithes shall be
extinguished.
England, Scotland, and Ireland are one. They are and will
continue indivisible.
They have said that the tithe system must cease in Ireland.

MR. GENAN.—The following is the address unanimously
voted to this Gentleman by the Cork Chamber of Com-
merce :

" The firmness which you, Sir, have at your advanced age
exhibited, in offering yourself an additional victim of an odious
and accursed system, demands the expression of our sincerest
condolence and of our highest admiration. We are not with-
out the expectation that the period of redress is not far distant,
and your fellow-countrymen will hereafter refer to your
name, amongst those of others, by whose exertions and suf-
ferings this great object shall have been achieved."
HUDSON.---The cork Herald calls upon the Govern-
ment to prosecute the murderers of Hudson, and say sthey
should not hesitate to appoint at once a Special Commission
for that necessary, essential, and more important end !
THE DUBLIN DINNER.—Monday the 25th instant has
been fixed on for the festival ; and Mr. O'Connell must
sail for E❑gland on the following day to attend dinners to
which he has been invited rs the representative of the
Reformers of Ireland.
CORK.—In the last past year 2,159 persons have emi-
grated from this city.
A young Lady at Ennis, lately a Protestant, has avowed
her resolution of taking the veil.

the. Bank ,sgg
of October, 1835, to the 12th instant, which was inserted
in last Friday's Cawltc, gives the 7fo !I o wing results—viz.,
that the average of the,month ending the 12th instant, as
compared with the average of the trionth 'ending the 20th of
October, K:l5, shows a decrease in the circulation or
177,0001., an increase in the deposits of 4,320,000 h and
an increase in the stock of bullion of 1,350,000/. Where-
fore it appears that the inezease of the. liabilities is
4,143,0001., and this represents the increase in the total
quantity of money in the month ending the -12th instant,
as compared with the month ending the 20th of October,
1835, in so far as regards the administration of the cur-
rency by the Bank of England.
The yearly comparison is as follows :—The average of
the month ending the 12th instant, as compared with the
average of the month ending the 10th of February, 1835,
shows a decrease in the circulation of 1,233,0001., an in-
crease in the deposits of 7,443,0001., and an increase in the
stock of bullion of 921,0001. Wherefore it appears that
there is an increase in the liabilities of 6,210,0001., and
this represents the increase in the total quantityof money in
the month ending the 12th instant, as compared with the
month ending the 10th of February, 1835, in so far as re-
gards the administration of the currency by the Bank of
England.
The fluctuations in the stock of bullion have taken place
in the following manner and proportions :
In the month ending the sth of May, 1835, as
Compared With the month ending the 10th of Feb.,
1835, there is a decrease of £398,000
In the month ending the 28th of July, 1835, as
compared with the month ending the sth of May,
1835, there is an inereaSoof
In the month ending the 20th of October, 1835,
as compared with the month ending the 28th of
July, 1835, there is a decrease of 225,000
And in the month ending the 12th instant, as
compared with the month ending the 20th of Oc-
tober, 1835, there is an increase of
Which leaves upon balance an increase of . 921,000
The changes and fluctuations in the circulation will ap-
pear from, the following statement :
In the month ending the sth of May, 1835, as
compared with the month ending the 10th of Fe-
bruary, 1835, there is a: decrease of
In the month ending the 28th of July, 1835, as

And in the month ending the 12th instant, as
compared with the month ending the 20th of Octo-
ber, 1835, there is a decrease of
Which leaves upon balance a decrease of 1,233,000
The following are the changes and fluctuations which
have taken place in the deposits :
In the month ending the sth of May, as com-
pared with the month ending the 10th of February,
1835, there was a decrease of
In the month ending the 28th of July, 1.835, as

as compared with the month ending the 28th of July
1835, there is an increase of
And in the month ending the 12th instant, as
compared with the month ending the 20th of Octo-
ber, 1835, there is an increase of ... 4,320,000
Which leaves upon balance an increase of 7,443,000'
The chief thing obserVable in the preceding statement
is the great and continued increase in the amount of the
deposits, and which now have attained such a height, that
they now exceed, by many millions, the amount of the
circulation—a circumstance wholly without example in the
annals of this country, which has, nevertheless, during
the last forty years, been fruitful of so many extraordinary
anomalies.

21,000

This enormous increase in the deposits proceeds entirely
from the large payments made in full on account of the
-West Indian Loan, and so thtlt, the money coming in at a
much faster rate than the liquidation and payment of the
claims for which it is intended, it naturally goes to increase
the amount of the deposits, and the resule of the whole
affair is a most unnatural and unheard-of position of things ;
for—
First. Interest is allowed to the West Indian claimants
at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, till the period that
their claims shall be liquidated.
Secondly. Interest .at the rate of nearly 4 per cent. per
annum is allowed to the holders of the Omnium who pay it
np in full, and this notwithstanding that if the money should'
,
only be paid gradually, and at the different periods when
the instalments become due, it would still come in faster

than is required for the purposes of the Government.
Thirdly. The dividends (that is, the interest) on the loan
itself run and commence, for that part Which'conSists in Re-
duced and Long Annuities, from the sth of April, 1835,
and for the remainder, which. consists in Consols, from the
Lth of July, 1835.
All which is entirely without parallel.
In the mean time, the Bank of England dexterously con-
trives to profit by this state of things, and this in the most
simple way imaginable—viz., by lending large sums of
money that are not wanted, and which consequently remain
in its coffers at per cent. interest per annum, which is
all one as if a publican should charge some muddy-brained
fellow, not vvith the pot of beer that_ lie has drunk, or is
drinking,.or is to drink, but merely for the trouble he takes
to score a pot of beer against him behind the door ; and
this is no idle metaphor or mere likeness and similitude, but
the plain, literal state of the case ;
,for the Bank scores
away, and then charges interest as for money, but whereas
in real result nothing whatever is lent and no money passes,
but there is simply a tranfer of the debts of individuals to
the credit of the Government, and th en the Bank charges
interest for keeping the score.—Tinics.
