LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 31, 1834

The division on the Irish Tithe Bill last evening
has sanctioned a principle of the most ominous con-
sequence, not only to tithe-owners, but to the commu-
nity at large, with the exception of only one class—
the landholders. It is true only 115 members were
' present, but 83 of these (a vast majority) voted for
compounding with the Irish tithe payers, and accept-
ing, as' in the case of a bankruptcy, 12s. in the
pound. Thus, taking the amount of Irish tithe
at the lowest at 600,0001. a year, the House of
Commons is prepared to accept 360,0001., and
allow the landlords to pocket 240,0001. This is
a boon worth contending for ; and the result forms a
strong ground for believing that the opposition to
tithes did not proceed entirely from the miserable
tenants, but was excited and fostered by the only per-
sons really interested, the proprietors of the soil. They
alone will profit by this measure, for if we judge of
them by their past conduct, they will continue to
screw up the rent to the highest pitch, and raise
it exactly in proportion as the tithe dimi-
nishes. Those tenants who have leases will
profit for the time being, but .on the expiration of
the leases, the land will be let to the highest bidder,
and any one acquainted with the subject knows that
the rise in the rent will go on at a uniform pace with

the reduction of the burdens. Of what benefit then
will this be to the poor tenants who hold from year to
year ? The scramble for a few acres of ground will
be as great as ever—there will be the same over-
bidding—the same ejectments on non-payment of
rent—the same scenes of want and suffering
and outrage—and unless some other healing measure
accompany this, Ireland will continue as hitherto, the
most disturbed and most miserable country in Europe.
The question has been carried by the influence, we will
not say of Irish landlords only, but of English also,
who have a natural sympathy in the cause, and who,
on the settlement of the English Tithe Question, will
claim something like an equivalent reduction. This
is contrary to every principle of justice or sound
legislation. The landlord has no more right to
tithes than he has to abbey or church lands, and any
portion of them that goes into his pocket is just so
much taken out of the pockets of the people—in other
words, out of the Consolidated Fund. We can make
allowances for country gentlemen voting for such a
measure, on the strong grounds of self-interest, but
how any borough members could support it consistently
with their duty to their constituents, we are at a
loss to imagine. It will in fact reduce the surplus
tithe, from which so much was expected, to little more
than a non-entity, and the country will thus be robbed
of the relief which might have been obtained by the
useful appropriation of some 300,0001. or 400,00/.
_a year. The bonus to be given to the landlord as pro-
posed in the original Bill we always considered too
great, and the only thing that could reconcile the
country to it was the contract by which he was
bound to make good the payment of the remainder—
but the amendment does away with everything like
contract or bond, and remits 40 per cent., leaving the
question of tithes in every other respect the same. It
is greatly to be regretted that the discussion has been
deferred to so late a period of the Session, when there
,
is neitner time to do justice to it, nor a sufficient num-
ber of members in town to show the general feeling
of the representation of the people on a subject of
such importance to England as well as to Ireland.
If this boon, however, is finally acceded to, the Go-
vernment next Session can have no choice left as . to
the question of Irish Poor Laws. The Irish land-
lords are not to be exempted from Church Rates—
from the payment of nearly a half of the tithes—and
a
other rates which are paid in England—without being
compelled to provide for their own
poor.

The LORD CHANCELLOR complained last evening
of the newspapers giving an incorrect account of the
division in the Lords on the bastardy clau3e. Neither
the reporters nor the editors of papers are to blame for
this. They have no interest in giving false lists of
divisions, for the mistake is sure to be remedied in
twenty-four hours. The fault lies with the two Houses
