ANTI-TITHE MEETING.—On Monday last a meeti:ng of the
parish of St. Mary's, Shandon, was held to petltir, n for the
Et:`tal abolition of tithes and minister's money, and also for cor-
porate reform.
TITHEe IN THE COUNTY OF WEXFORD.—We have already
noticed the .'anti-tithe meeting which was held in Ross. We
learn that simu;!aneous meetings in Wexford will be held 00
the 14th instant, in order that three hundred thousand voices
may exclaim at the saine moment, and with one accord, "titl
shall be no more."
A meeting was held on Monday last at Tramore.
Tun TITHE VICTIM.—The yoor man slaughtered at Shan-
drum was, it appears, a servant, and the sole support of a
widowed mother, who is left utterly destitute by his death.
An appeal has been made to us front Cork to recommend the
bereaved widow's case to the sympathy of the public, with the
view of obtaining, in contributions of trifling amount, the veil
small sum that would suffice, when aided by local charity, to,
sustain, during the brief term of life that remains to her, this
miserable being, now 70 years of age. One friend has ob-
tained 405., collected in sums of from 6d. to 2s. 6d. We
will be happy to receive and transfer to him any donations,
however small, that may be had for this truly benevolent ob-
ject. May this " widow's son" be the last victim to the
Moloch of tithes.—lrish Paper.
A correspondent of the Dublin Post writes—Mr. 13511
canvassed the electors this day. The result: was most trium-
phant. From electors of every shade and political opinion be
scarcely met with a single refusal.
Mr. Bagwell will not start. It is, hcrwever,• stated that 3
Conservative of the right sort will be named to-morrow, not
with the slightest hope of returning him, but merely to armor
the reformers. _ _ _ _

After all, I think it not unlikely that M(r. Ball will have
walk over.
ADDRESS TO THE a letter to the people of Ire-
land, dated Dublin, Feb. 8, Mr. John Law less calls on his
countrymen to simultaneously hold meetings in all counties,
cities, towns, and parishes, to petition the leeslature in strong
and emphatic language for the extension to Ireland of the sarno
principles of corporation reform as England and Scotland enjoys-
Regarding the proposed address to his Majesty, ,Mr. Lawless
writes—" An address, too, of national gratitude to our King
of immortal memory, William the Fourth, for his parental,
honest, and comprehensive speech from the throne, would be
a most creditable and wise proceeding from every part of Ire-
land. Well and truly may our present Sovereign boast that
he is the only English Sovereign who ever was able to cony'
mand the hearts and hands of the Irish I,l4tople. God help
the foolish enemy who would dare to disturb th e solid fowl'
dation on which his throne rests at this moment. Half-s:
million of Irishmen would instantly march in its &fence and
demonstrate to the world how gigantic and overwhelming tli
arms of the freeman, compared with the palsied and unnerve°
arm of the mercenary soldier."
ELOPEMENT.—On Saturday evening last a chaise and four
r
was observed wheeling through that part of the good to NO fe
Tipperary denominated Church-well, at a rate which led ,i"
gaping inhabitants to form many surmises as to its ultinlat°
destination, and whom it contained. However, their curiosil
was necessarily suspended until morning, when it was disco--
vcred that an elopement had taken place on the preceding

fugitives ,u,jth open arms.
DROWNl,Nth—About ten o'clock on Friday night last, a nou
fell from the
.
.schooner Three Sisters, Captain Power, lying
in our river, opt
Nioite the Coal Quay. He swam or floated far
a very long distance, shouting with amazing strength of lungs,
" Save me ! save ni;') !" So loud were his cries, that theft
created considerable se.:natinn •at houses on Newton-road,
least half a mile from the place. A considerable and inac,!,
to be regretted delay ocem:-ed in putting off boats, and taw
man perished, notwithstandi,v his keeping so long abole
water.—Waterford Chronicle.
THE APPROPRIATION CLAUSE. --Were the appropriation
clause carried to-morrow, and any portion of tithes, under any
name, made compulsory, the bitter and ths9 heartburning cause
of Irish degradation would still continue. It to the principle
that Irishmen are opposed—it is to combat tl;).s demoralising
and degrading principle that so many Irishmen haw., voluntarily
resigned their liberties, and laid down their lives ; a,:d would
not this principle be perpetuated by any bill which made the
salaries of the parsons payable by their Catholic parishioneis?
