;►ulation of the parish ! The average attendance at his
Church is but 80 ; that is, out of the 432 Protestants,
only 80 go to the Church, leaving 352 who pray
for themselves, or have some Dissenting clergyman
to pray for them. He was incumbent of Desertserges
for more than eleven years. He had for these eleven
years 9601. per annum ; when, behold ! in the. year
.1809, another benefice, sixty miles off, is bestowed on
him, worth on an average 4001. a year. Why did he
get the second benefice ? How had he deserved it ?
In no one way whatever. He had neither said nor
done, nor written, nor practised any one thing to have
himself turned into a pluralist; but he was the near re-
lation of a Lord, and his. connections were of wealth,

station, and influence, .and therefore benefices are
'heaped on him ; and in addition to 9601. a year in the
county of Cork, for which he gives little value, he is
gifted with 4001. a year in the county of Kerry, for
which he gives no value at all." The above is but
one instance—and by no means the most aggravated
one—of the monstrous injustice of the Lis!' tithe

system—a system of which the Tories are so ena-
moured, and which has wound itself so strongly about
the susceptible heart of STANLEY, that both are
eager to perpetuate it at all hazards. Their zeal
however will be fruitless, for the tithe system in Ire-
land is doomed, and down it must go. Attorneys,
proctors, process-servers, and Exchequer writs, with
their auxiliaries, the musket and the blunderbuss, will
be able to render it no farther assistance, so inflexible
are the Irish in their determination to bear with the
nuisance no longer.

We have received the whole of the Paris Journals
of Friday and Saturday. The state of affairs in Spain,
and the preparations which are making for the cele-
bration of the " three glorious days" occupy the greater
portion of their columns. In the Moniteur of Friday
we find the following official communication :
" In Gallicia the band of Lopez was surprised and defeated
on the 9th instant. Lopez and several of his officers were
taken and shot. On the 13th General Espartero came up with
the rear-guard of the Carlist expedition on the other side of
Buron ; he took from it 100 men and all the baggage of the
expedition. Every passage is shut against the Carlists by the
troops of Generals Latre and Manso, and by the Portuguese
brigade."
This document requires further illustration, which is
afforded by a letter addressed by the Captain-General
of Galicia to his Excellency the Minister of War. It
bears date the 11th instant, from Lugo, and is as
follows
" Excellent Sir,—According to a communication which I
received yesterday evening from the Judge of Arzua, the
assassin chief Lopez has at last fallen. He bore the title of
Major-General and Commandant of the province. Besides
him there were several killed, and seventeen of his party re-
mained in our hands, with seven horses and other trophies.
The surprise of this party was effected in San Pedro de Car-
dens, in the night of the Bth inst., by the column under the
orders of the indefatigable Lieutenant-Colonel Don Nickolas
de Lima, and as soon as he shall have returned, I will inform
your Excellency circumstantially of all those who have dis-
tinguished themselves on an occasion of such transcendant im-
portance for Gallicia. The chief Silva, according to a com-
munication of the same Judge, has been killed by his own
followers ; and a brother of his has been shot by this time, by
the officer whom I have placed in command in the canton of
" In the afternoon of the 7th inst. the faction of the chief
Ballan was defeated, and dispersed in the neighbourhood of
Forsagrada, by the column under the orders of Don Manuel
Perez, with the loss of four killed and some wounded, while
we lost a soldier of the third battalion of Castile killed, and
another soldier and a horse wounded."
This affair is, after all, of little consequence.
LOPEZ, who styled himself a Field-Marshal and
Commander-in-Chief of Galicia, was a mere robber,
and had but few followers. The Captain-General,
MANUEL DE LA TRE, whose account of this affair
we have just given, further informs the War Minister
that he had 2,000 men at Lugo ready to march
against the Carlists at a moment's notice. The Cap-
tain-General of old Castile had given orders to the
Baron DEL PUENTA DE SANTA MARIA, who Com-
mands a division of the Portuguese auxiliary legion,
and was at Leon on the 10th, to march upon Villa-
franca del Bierzo, to watch the movements of the
Carlists in that quarter.
With respect to the Asturias expedition, the only
account received in Madrid up to the evening of the
16th, is the following official despatch from General
MA Nso, Captain-General of Old Castile, to the Mi-
nister of War. It bears date the 11th inst. :
" Excellent Sir—Since the departure of General Espastero,
which took place yesterday, I have not received any commu-
nication from him respecting the movements of the enemy ;
but a despatch received by the civil governor of this place an-
nounces that the faction left Grado at twelve o'clock yesterday,
and that the division of the General entered that place at
three in the afternoon. The enemy marched in the direction
of &los, so that he may proceed by Cangas de Tines to
Laceana, or by the route of Ibias to Gallicia. Supposing
the first route to be his object, I have determined to march to
morrow in the direction of Pajares, in order to take a position
on the road to Leon, for the purpose of impeding the progress
of the enemy. I shall have with me a battalion of the regi-
ment of the Prince, three companies of Mercadades, and the
squadrons of the Corps Francs, which are already posted on
the high road in question. I shall leave here 300 men of the
battalion of Zamora, who have come with the Colonel Losado,
and twenty men of the squadron of Valladolid, that they may
attack any faction which may make its appearance, or be ready
for what may occur, in conjunction with the regiment of Pun-
tevendra, which forms the force of this province. The fac-
tion of the Cure of Folgueros, of which I spoke in my com-
munication of yesterday, has been reduced to five men, who
will, I hope, soon be dispersed, in consequence of the acti-
vity of the Colonel, Don Bernardo Alvarez."
The Carlists quitted Oviedo on the 7th, so that the
delay made by General ESPARTERO allowed-them
two clear days in advance of their pursuers. We have
copied a letter from Oviedo, written by an officer in the
QUEEN'S army, and published by a Morning Contem-
porary, which states that ESPARTERO was obliged to
halt in consequence of the over-fatigue of his troops.
During their occupation of Oviedo the Carlists levied
money upon the inhabitants to the amount of fifteen
thousand pounds in specie, beside other plunder which
did not find its way to the common stock.
General CORDOVA fills up his leisure hours .at
Pampeluna by writing holyday addresses to his arm).
One of these appears in the Madrid Gazette of the
12th, and is of a most terrific character. In fact if
Dots CA RLOS does not studiously keep out of the way,
CORDOVA will make mince-meat of him and all his

army. As the gallant Commander-in-Chief is so little
a favourite with his men, that conspiracies have been
formed by them for quitting his standard, and
putting themselves under the command of General
MINA, he very gravely and coolly tells them—
" that all those who attempt to foment the slightest
disorder, under any pretext whatsoever, shall be put to
death on the spot, be they few or many, who make
the attempt ; and also in whatever town any dis-
turbance of the public peace occurs, all those who are

found out of their houses, unless they be authorities or
persons in whom is confided the maintenance of the
laws." But the army laughs at CORDOVA and his
addresses ; and unless he be shortly removed from the
chief command, we expect to hear of nothing less
than that whole regiments have passed over to swell
the ranks of the Pretender.
So much for Spanish affairs in the French Papers.
With respect to France itself, considerable excitement
prevails in the capital, in consequence of the number of
arrests that have taken place during the last week,
with a view to keep suspicious, persons out of the way
on the 29th, when the KING will appear in public.
The prosecution of the National, the Gazette de

France, and the Bon Sens, for libels against the Go-
vernment, is also complained of as a most tyrannical
stretch of power.

PARIS, JULY 23. A morning paper contains the following
article:—

" A person who has been in high favour with the King of
Bavaria has been at Paris for these two da) s. It is M. Von
Klenze, Director of the department of Fine Arts at Munich,
and the ostensible object of his jot.rney is to visit our Museums;
but as M. Von Klenze, who hrs long resided at Paris, is

very well acquainted with our Museums, it is supposed that
he has a very different mission, and that to obtain at length
the remainder of the Greek Loan, the King of Bavaria has
more hopes from the address of his Confidant, than in official
diplomatic notes. M. Von Klenze and`the Bavarian banker
appointed to receive the loan, have been perfectly well re-
ceived by M. Thiers ; they have even dined with the Mini-
ster in company with M. Jannison the Bavarian• Envoy ; and
if King Otho persists in refusing to return to Greece without
money, we may expect to see a further sum paid on account,
that is to say, to see the money of the tax-payers thrown into
a bottomless pit, to support an interest diametrically opposite
to the interests of France."
The same paper adds—" The events in Greece have forced
the officers of the Staff, whom we kept in that country to com-
plete the general map of the kingdom, to abandon their labours.
The Abistry being silent, several of these officers have come
bale to 4:rance, paying the expense of their passage. On
their return to Paris, they waited on Marshal Mace with the
materials- which they had collected. The Minister declared
to them they must themselves bear their travelling and other
expenses ; and to add to the injustice of this act, he has
signified to them that they are put on half-pay. The whole
Committee of War has protested, but the Marshal remains
in flexible. —Messager, July 23.

Bonen, QUARTER TO FOUR.—The Three per Cents. were
done to-day at 80f. 20c. The price has been maintained, and
is now 80f. 25c., buyers. Spanish Active Stock fell to 36.
The elections in Madrid and Bilboa are said to be the cause
of this depression.

P. S. The further fall in the Spanish has been occasioned
by the sale of a large portion of Active Stock for the account
of a house in Frankfort.
