CORPORATE REFORM, AND EXTINCTION OF TITHES.-011
Monday last a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of St.
Paul's took place, for the.purpose of preparing and adopting
petitions to Parliament for corporate reform, and for the ex-
tinction of tithes.

On Sunday last a petition against tithes was signed before
and after Mass at Fermoy, by the Roman Catholics present.
ANTI-TITHE MEETING IN WEXFORD.--.OH Wednesday one
of the most numerous and influential meetings ever witnessed
in the neighbourhood, was held in the open air, at 13allyhast,
at the base of the hill of Frankfort, there being no house in
the neighbourhood sufficiently capacious to contain a " tithe "
of the Test multitude that attended on this important occasion,
to register their immutable hatred of the blood-stained system
of church monopoly.
Richard More O'Ferrall, Esq., M. P., has given a donation
of 50/. to the Reform Registry Association.
THE REGISTRY.—The Reformers and the Orangemen polled
equal numbers on Monday last.
COUNTY CLARE—JOHN O'BRIEN.— We congratulate the
people of Clare on the appointment by the government of Lord
Mulgrave of this patriotic gentleman to the office of High
Sheriff of their county.
ORANGEISM.—The iniquitous system of Orangeism will be
speedily and impartially investigated, and eventually pronounced
by the Legislature to be what it really is, creative of riot, dis-
turbance, and murder—calculated to foster and keep alive the
worst passions of the worst class of mankind, and subversive
of all morality and good will among men.
TITHES—DUKE OF DEVONSHIkE.—Were it not that we
have it from an unquestionable source, we could have scarcely
given credit to the startling communication, that his Grace the
Duke of Devonshire actually appears as the plaintiff in several
tithe actions filed this term for old tithe demands against some
of the most respectable gentlemen in the county of Waterford,
amongst the rest, against the High Sheriff of the county and
several magistrates.—Dublin Post.
On Monday his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant held his
second Levee for the season at the Castle.

Dean Dawson, and the other Deans, Archdeacons, Chan-
cellors, &c., who got up the Protest against the Memorial to the
King, had the extreme modesty to transmit a copy of the Do-
cument to the Archbishop of Dublin, intimating that it had
been placed at Milliken's for signature—expressing their opi-
nion that the Memorial, which it is understood has obtained his
Grace's sanction, " was fraught with mischief and destruction
of the stability of the establishment," and calling upon his
Grace to give the• Protest circulation in his diocese, and to ap-
point some place where the clergy might sign it. To this ex.
tremely impertinent demand his Grace returned a dignified
and cutting reply.
