WHITEBOYISM. —A. Gentleman who has a
large farm near Mallow, made a compromise for
his tithe with the Rector of the Parish, agree-
ing to make him an annual payment in lieu of it.
His Steward intending to make the hay of the farm
into' a rick, made arrangements-for that purpose.
On Sunday night a party of Whiteboys came to the
house of the Steward; and, on his opening the
door, they desired him to keep inside, -and they
threw stones to prevent his coming out, lest he
should have any opportunity of observing their
persons. They then told him that no compromise
relative to tithes would be allowed ; that the
Rector must be made to draw his tithes, as other-
wise they would set fire to the house and hag-
gard. The steward was allowed it few days to
communicate with his employer on the subject,
and the party went off.
The system of intimidation, by posting threat-
ening notices, has been again acted upon in
various parts of the country. The following was
posted on Sunday morning last, on the Chapel
gate of Ardnalyntha, within a few miles of Mal-
low, and was spiritedly taken down immediately
afterwards by Charles Purcell, Esq. son of that
excellent Magistrate, George Purcell, Esq. of

Lohort Castle
" No mercy whatever for any person buying or withholding
hls Tithes this year, for God and man have conceived to punish
the wickedness of the times, animated with a firm hope, that
I will for the next entirely abolish arid subvert this present
and passing tyrannical system of oppression under which we
groan. In order therefore that you may avert the impend-
ing scourge which inevitably awaits .the nonobservers of my
Constitution, I do hereby Strictly Caution yoti and all of you
to Surrender, give up, and Deliver, unto your respective Rec-
tor, your tithes for this harvest under pain and penalty of pur-
chasing to yourself, the punishment herein prescribed which
will Cost you not less than your life with a total Consumation of
your property Including your Cattle. I find by Experience
that some of you may flatter and deceive yourself by Expect-
inF a Remuneration for The loss of your property but alas.
NI hat remuneration can you Expect when you shall make a
short and perhaps unprovided exit from cattle Stage of life for
if this My first anti last Notice do not make the Satisfactory
impression, I shall unavoidably have Recourse to the above
measure Which I find So highly essential_ for the Stability of
the public cause.
6 As I had been on my Tour to Inspect the Southern Dis-
tricts I got various Complaints of that Infernal Stephen Wig.
more I now timely caution you and Church to resign your
Demonic offices or I will Settle your wig the wrong way, any
person in Future Serving process or ceasing Distress by Virtue
of a Decree shall be Shot to Death or burned alive and his house
and property Destroyed.

A letter from St. Thomas's of the 31st Julyof
says—" Affairs at Maracaibo look extremely
gloomy, and the patriots have been completely
beaten by Morales."
On Tuesday last, a proclamation was promul-
gated by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, offer-
ing 5001. for the discovery and apprehension of
the murderers of the Frank's family.
DREADFUL FIRE IN BAy.tatA.--(Frankfort,
Sept. 10.)—The Bavarian frontier town of Hof
was nearly destroyed by fire on the 4th. It
broke out at nine in the morning, and the wind
being very high, all the houses in the principal
street, and in many others, the Church, Town
Hall, &c., were consumed before midnight. The
number of houses stated to be consumed is 400.
The little town of Newbrunn, four leagues from
viVurtzburg, was visited by a similar calamity the
evening before ; above, one hundred buildings,
with the harvest that was just housed, and a
considerable quantity of cattle, were destroyed ;
the unfortunate inhabitants are sheltered in the
Church, the School, and the Parsonage, and the
few houses that have escaped the flames.
INFANTINE REVENGE.—Yesterday afternoon a
little boy, named John Pollard, not more than
six years old, son to a poor man in the K ingsland-
road, was playing with another about his own age.
In the course of their amusement they quarrelled,
whicit was put an end to by the parents of both.
Shortly after the little boy Pollard was cutting
an apple with a small knife, and his playmate
attempted to snatch it, when the other thrust the
knife at him, and the blade entered above an
inch between the third and fourth ' right ribs.—
The injured boy was carried to a surgeon, and
we are happy to say the wound is not so serious
as it wus first thought.
We have been informed that steps are now
taking to'bring in the London Mail at five o'clock
in the afternoon, in place of nine—that the
Lords of the Treasury have ordered a survey of
the road, particularly from Berwick to Edin-
burgh--41tat they are to afford some, relief to
the road trustees in consequence of the heavy
advance they have been at with the new road
by Renton--that the long hill of Pencraig be-
tween Haddingtort and Dunbar, is to be
' avoided by the formation of a new line along
the banks of the Tyne—and that various other
alterations will be made, by which the mail will
complete its journey in 45 hours ; and if the mail
to, be put upon the same footing as the mail
from London, and the stop at York done away,
it will not require to leave Edinburgh sooner
than nine o'clock in the morning, tb enable it to
• arrive in London at 6 A.M. the next morning but
couiant.)
