COLLECTION OF TITHES—THE GOVERN:IENT.—The
following official circular has just been issued by the Irish
Government

" Dublin Castle, 24th December, 1835.
His Excellency directs that the Inspector-General will in
this case grant the protection required, under the direction of
4 -magistrate : but his Excellency wishes that the Inspector-
General should distinctly understand the grounds on which the
police protection is in this case given, because cases may occur
hick
the Inspector-General may consider similar, but with
the pect to which a different rule is to be observed. In this case
Processes issue from the Civil Bill Court, and are to be
served by persons apPointed by the Court, who have of them-
selves no authority to command the protection required. On
the other hand, when the processes issue from Superior Courts,
parties have the means of obtaining the assistance of the
Sheriff, who is by law invested with full power to call on the
police or military to protect him in the performance of his duty.
The same rule applies to the case of decrees of the Civil Bill
Court. They are directed to the Sheriff, and the parties may
call upon that officer to execute them ; besides, in suits in the
Superior Courts the parties may obtain from these Courts an.
order for substituting, as it is called, the service of process,
which renders it unnecessary to serve the process personally on
the defendants, or even to leave it at their residence. In all
eases, therefore, except in the service of Civil Bill processes,
his Excellency considers that the parties should apply to the
mown and responsible officer appointed by law for the perform-
ance of this duty, The Inspector-General will understand
that, even in the ease above-mentioned, where his Excellency
considers police protection should be given, under no circum-
stances are the police to act except under the direction of a ma-
gistrae, and after reference has been made to the Lord Lieu-
tenant, and his Excellency's sanction obtained. The Inspector-
General will understand that there is nothing in the above to
prevent the interference of the police, if called on, in cases of immediate emergency, on the written requisition of a magis-
trate, to suppress an actual breach of the peace.

COUNTY DUSLIN REGISTRY.---It appears from our re-
Port of the County Dublin Quarter Sessions, that the
Liberals have a majority of sixteen upon the registered ! This is most
gratifying, and it behoves the Liberals whose names are
coittained in the remaining 2.62
notices, to be up and stirring, to prevent their enemies from
beating down the advantatre' already obtained.
The dinner to Mr. O'Connell' in Cork is postponed to
the 20th.

rat shots were fired.
