FADiULT. Tr;
TULL::ER Of THE FRANKS' ADULT.--
Cork Constitution of the '2Bth Sept. gives th*
following information connected with this horrid
affair :

The information whirl:- we communicated on Monday, te:--
lative to the detection of the worse than savages implicated
in the murder of the Unfortunate and unsuspectiog family of
the Franks', was perfectly consistent in its details._Tbr
younger Sheehan who sat in conclave when their doom
sealed, but who denics having been: inside the house wheat
the murderous edict was executed, as the only atonement be
can make for this atrocious outrage against the laws of God arm
man, has furnished the information, which has been farina,
up with. promptness by that intelligent And active Magistrate,
Alajor Carter, and has led to the apprehension of six .of
those concerned in as wicked and wanton murder as any
that has been committed within 'our recollection—numerous.
as they are They were brought into Doneraile on Wednesday,
and lodged in the Bridewell, preparatory to their transmiltAl
to the County Gaol." The female clothes in whiCh the ruffian-,
leader acted so conspicuous a part, have also been secureitt.
with traces of blood of the victims en them, and with other
proofs which will further assist, should any be wanted, in esta-
blishing the guilt of the parties now- in euro..ly. • It is rather
a remarkable circumstance, and perhaps not inappropriate to
notice here, that at the period of Sheehan, who was prose-
cuted by the young Mr. Franks, having received sentence,
of tianspiwtation, Mr. F. addressed a Gentleman who sat'
near him in Court, to the following emphatic terms :—" Now
I may g.o home and make my, will as speedy as possible."—
Alas! how soon his words were verified.

Tiff. Opimtorts; pro and con.--Some time ago
Mr. O'Cint NE was state& to have given a law opinion; de-
chledly against the legality of the practice of decorating trio
Statue in College-green of our, Delivern King AVil-
Barn 111. with colours consecrated to that renowned Prince.
because such practice might tend to a breach if the peace.
—lle is now stated to have given it as his opinion that a
breach of the peace may be legally hazarded as an introduc.
Lion to try a civil right. now are such opinions reconcile-,
abler Suppose the sexton to a Churcli.yard, upon having
intbrmation that a Catholic Priest intended to perform the,
office for the burial of the dead, according to the Liturgy of
the Church of Home—were to appear before a Magistrates_
and to depose on oath that he hnd reason to apprehend a breach
of the peace; would not a Magistrate be obliged to prevent such
Pries from officiating ? Would it not beau obligatory on such
Magistrate to prevent by' his authority the Priest from doing
that which may lead to a breach of the peace, at it would
be on the Loot Mayor to prohibit the dressing, as it is popu-
larly called, of the Statue, lest a breach of the peace fol.
low ? Those public law opinions are not likely to settle our
habitual differences in this country.—( Dalin Cart espondent.

..4.IViTSTMEXT OF TITHES.—We understand that a nego.
ciation was sonic time since entered upon between the Rev.
r. Meade, rector of Innishanon, and his parishioners, be
the adjusting the rate of tithe payable on the growing-crops of
this season. Various meetings are stated to have been held,
at which the best feelings of mutual wishes to complete the ar-
rangement prevailed. 'nay have been successful'm drawing
near to a conclusion, not only productive of beneficial maul% its
the parties concerned, but. perhaps laying the foundation of
a system descrying to be imitated by other parishes. It ap-
pear* that the rectory of Innislitmon contains about 7,000 acres
altogether, of which the cultivated part yielded in tithes (taken
at the lowest calculation from preteding years) about 700.
per annum ; upon this average it remained to form artiLdiunt
valuation suitable to the interests of the rector, and ptopor.
tinned to the depression of agricultural produce; this, we
leach, has been struck at AMU., which, taking the number of
acres in the rectory at 7,099, subjects the entire to an average
of about one shilling and sixpence per acre; thus holding
out encouragement to the working farmers to iacrease their
industry and extend the cultivation of their grounds, with-
out any additional charge upon the produce. It must be
very gratifying to the gentlemen who undertook this arrange-
mi nt that their devotion of time and attention bas been so sue..
ressfiil ; they deserve the- thanks of every person interested
in the subject of tithes throughout Ireland.—(Cork Mercantile
Chronicle.) •
