TIIE ORIGIN OF TITHES IN ENGLAND.—Tithes were not
uncommon among the Jews, but they were chiefly confined to
a tenth part of the spoil taken from the enemy.—Bishop Barlow,
Seldon, and others, have observed, that neither 'tithes ncr
Ecclesiastical Benefices were ever heard of in the Christian
Church, or pretended to be due to the Christian Priesthood;
and, as that Bishop observes, no mention is made of Tithes
in the Grand Codex of Canons ending in the year 461
Selden contends that Tithes were not introduced here into
England, till towards the end of the eighth century, i. e.
786.—About the year 1794, Offa, King of Mercia, gave unto the
Church the Tithes of all the kingdom (Mercia) to expiate far
the death of Ethelbert, King of the East Angles, whom in the
year preceding he caused to be basely murdered. -( This was
one way of appeasing the wrath of God.)—Tithes were before
paid in England by way of offerings, and about 60 years after
OfYa's establishmen t,E thelwolf enlarged it for the whole kingdom.
Charlemagne established the paymentof Tithes in Franee (A.D.
778), and made the famous division of them into four parts.
One to maintain the edifice of the Church, the second to support
the Poor, the third to the Bishops, and the fourth to the Paro-
chial Clergy (a most suitable and just law). The next au-
thentic mention of them is in the laws agreed upon between.
King Gertrum, the Dane, and Alfred and his son Edward theelder, about the year 900.—Blackstone says he will not put the
title of the Clergy to Tithes upon any Divine right, though
such a right certainly ceased with the Jewish Theocracy, &c.—

THE SERPENT AND THE BRIDE.-011 • the sth
August, in Jackson county, United States, a Co-
roner's Inquest was held on the body of Et IcmARD
DAVID, who was found dead in the woods: The
Inquest, on examination, was of opinion that
his death was occasioned by the bite of a rattle-
snake which appeared on his ancle. He was
to have been married on the day following
to Miss CATHAB.INE CHAMBERS, Of this county,
and was in search of his horse to ride on
the occasion, when he received the deadly blow.
No intelligence being heard of him until the
morning of the day in which he was to have
been united to Miss CHAMBERS, she made the
necessary preparations ; the marriage party was
collected, and were waiting in merrymood the
approach of the expected bridegroom, when
they received the painful intelligence cf his
death. The scene was then changed and the

intended bride, together with all who had as-
sembled to witness their happy nuptials, repaired
to his burial. The reader can imagine the feelings
of those who witnessed this solemn scene better
than we can describe them.—(lndiana Farmer.)

THE LONDON JOURNALS.

EXTRACTS FROM TIIE' DAILY MORNING PAPERS,

October 30, 182.

[THE TIMES.]
We publish a letter from Mr. Bowring to Mr.
Canning (see 'FIIE SUN of this day), descriptive'
of the treatment 'which he has experienced from
the French Authorities. The question as to the
justice of the original arrest of Mr. Bowring is a
very different one from the question of the justice
of detaining him without any specific charge. In
the present situation of France, where several
provinces have been the seat of almost open re-
bellion, and considering the public fact that the'
press of England has been made
.the medium of
the most violent and seditious attacks on the
French Government, and on the family,
it was not primafacie unreasonable to suspect that
an Englishman, of politics avowedly hostile to that
Government, might have suffered himself to be
the instrument of communication between the
domestic and foreign enemies of France. The
arrest, therefore, did not furnish ground for
the presumption that wrong had been committed
by. the French Government. But when the ori-
ginal ground of detention is abandoned, and when
it appears that no proof exists against the pri-
soner, except what is-sought to be elicited from
the mouth of the prisoner himself—when, even
after the failure of such proof, fresh causes of
detention are apparently yet to seek, then it be-
comes the duty of that prisoner's Government to
interfere in his behalf, and to insist that one of
its subjects shall not be detained, except for
avowed reasons capable of regular proof. Sus-
picion is ground of arrest ; but it is not ground
of perpetual or even protracted imprisonment,
except in cases of extreme magnitude, which
(from the turn this affair has taken) can hardly
Dow be supposed to be the case here.

[MORNING POST.]
We received last night, by Express, French
Papers to the 28th instant. They have brought
a letter from Verona dated the 19th, the con-
tents of which are of considerable importance.
They state in the most confident 'manner, that,
one of the first acts of the Congress will be to
decree the evacuation of Piedmont by the Austrian
troops, and that this measure will excite no dis-
cussion, the determination having been taken in
the previous conferences at Vienna. The same
justice, however, is not to be done to the Nea-
politan people, notwithstanding the reconimen•
dation of England, who is represented as having
resumed amongst arbitrary Sovereigns the noble
and-truly British character of Advocate for the
rights and independence of nations.- The pro..
posal.made at Vienna to withdraw the Austrian
troops from the territories of Naples and- Sicily
is said to have been outvoted, and was expected
to meet with the same fate at Verona if it should~
he renewed.

[BRITISH PRESS. 3
New York Papers to the 21.1 instant contain a
detailed report of the capture of the French brig
Azema. • This vessel, it appears, arrived. at
diartestodon the 17th last, having been previ-
ously. plundered :off the Havannah by a piratical
schooner of 3 guns and 50 men, of old plate.
amounting to 155 Hi.; 25 watches, of which 14
*ere gold ; and 2,621 dollars in specie, besides
309 bags of silver. This is another very happy
illustration-- of Admiral Rowley's assertion, that
the Under-Writers had invented • tales of plun-
der to enhance the premiums, . and a decided
proof of the activity and protection given
by his squadron to the trade in these seas.
—We regret to state that this is not a solitary
example, and that the Arnerical Papers contain
other cases of similar character. This new and
unfavourable intelligence has excited a -great
sensation at Lloyd's, where, we understand,
there will be a meeting this day, to take into
consideration the correspondence between their
otntnittee and the Secretary of the Admiralty,
respecting these robberies. Considering it of
great importance to the commercial world to as-
certain where the blame attaches, we hope to be
able to give an account of any proceeding that
may take .place in our Paper of to-morrow.

[NEW TIMES.]
The accounts from the South of Ireland are
not of a nature, we are glad to perceive, likely to
create much alarm. With the exception of a
few outrages in Westmeath,-Kilkenny (where we
are sorry to find a murder has been committed),
and Tipperary, the system does not appear to
-wear that formidable character which people are
disposed to apprehend. In Tipperary there has
been a meeting of the Magistrates at Cashel;
the Earl of Donoughmore in the Chair. At this
meeting the Earl of Glengall moved a series
of Resolutions, the object of which was,
on the information of certain persons, whose
names he stated, to place a part of the county
under the Insurrection Act. The Resolutions
gave rise to some debate, in which the Noble
Chairman took a very active part against the
measure. His Lordship pronounced a very
animated eulogy on the Marquis Wellesley for
the vast labour which he had effectually taken,
in restoring the country to a state of quiet ;,great
indeed, in comparison to that in which he found
it. If all had not been done, there was yet more
good effected than could have been looked for in
the time. As to the Barony of Iffa and Offa
West, he declared solemnly to God; that for
twenty years back he did not recollect those
parts of it with which he was acquainted in so
quiet a state as they are in at present ; and
several other persons of the highest character,
who know other parts of it, bore similar testi-
mony ; and who in the face of the documents
produced of the spirit of disturbance, proposed
laws to be confined to one parish only, the parish
of Caber. On the question being put to the
vote, however, the Resolutions of the Noble
Mover were carried by a majority.

[MORNING HERALD.I
It appears that the Irish Government has de,
termined to prevent by force the, usual assem.
blages.in Dublin, on the 4th of November.--

This determination certainly deserves credit. It
will extinguish one torch-•-or more properly one
rush-light, of bigotry and discord. From what
we can learn, its importance is greatly exagge-
rated on this side the_ water. This periodical
Orange fete is mischievous, but it is at the same
time contemptible. On the morning of the anni-
versary, the Statue of King William is dis-
covered with yellow rags floating from itf in
the wind, which naturally attracts an-assemblage
of blackguard boys, and others of the lowest class,
with orange lillies in the hats of such of them as
wear hats. Sometimes the refuse of some corps
of Dublin volunteers march by with a cracked
fife and kettle-drum, and towards night the
streets are rendered disagreeable by the encounter
of these persons reeling along, drunk and dirty,
after their orgies. This is a nuisance that should
be abated—but almost as much a nuisance to
Protestants as to Catholics.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
We received the Paris Papers of Sunday, last
night, by express. An account from Verona of
the 19th alludes to the recent discussions at Vi-
enna of the subjects to be again taken into con-
sideration at the Congress. We are told that
the occupation of allitaly by Austria was agreed
to by the great majority of the Ministers,
but that England was dissentient. The 'Em-
peror of Russia had been some time amusing
himself with viewing the picturesque scenery of
the Lake de Garda. Upon the whole there does
not seem so much eagerness as usual among
the Potentates with respect to this Congress.—
We do notknow precisely what to make of Ma-
jorities at Vienna or Verona. We should ap-
prehend that the serious dissent of any one State
in a matter of such moment as the occupation of
Italy necessarily broke up the Alliance. In a
Constituted Body, we can understand the mean-
ing of majority and minority ; in the case of an
Alliance of States for the effecting a particular ob-
ject, such as the carrying on a joint war, we
can also understand why, in determining as to
the measures necessary for the, accomplishment
of the end in view, the Minority should also
yield to the Majority ; but when States are not
embarked in a common object, are not deliberating
how they should give effect to a line of policy
which has been already agreed on, but meet for
the purpose of discussing the very policy itself,
a diversity of opinion necessarily ranges the
powers on opposite sides.

The new Chapel on Blackheath was opened
for public worship on Sunday last, when a most
excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr.
LOCK, of Lee. The neatness and simplicity of
this structure does great credit to the taste and
liberality of the parties concerned. It has been
built at the sole expence of a young Clergyman,
resident on the spot (the Rev. Wm.GREENLAW.)
The Bishop of Oxford, who is Vicar of the pa-
rish, has not only testified his entire approbation
of the measure, but has also accompanied it by the
donation of a hundred pounds.
Monday se'nnight, about half-past nine o'clock
in the evening, a beautiful meteor was seen to
the north of Edinburgh ; it passed with great
rapidity in a horizontal line from east to west,
throwing, out sparks from behind. It was in
appearance about the size of a star of the first
magnitude, and of equal brilliance. It disap-
peared without explosion.
