IRELAND.-TITHES.

(From the Times.)

DUBLIN, JUNE 5.—1 have just received a letter from
Kilmeague, descriptive of the state of society caused by
the Rev. Mr. Preston's pertinacity in enforcing tithe by
public sale of the defaulter's cattle. On Monday, the 2Stb
ult., it was reported in the Bog of Allen, that Mr. Pres-
ton was about to seize more cattle for arrears of tithe, and
two young fellows mounted on active horses were sent
blowing horns through the country. In the course of
two hours 2,000 people at least collected and marched in
order to Kilmeague pound, to watch the proceedings as
before. However, it was a false alarm. Mr. Preston,
meantime, barricaloed his house, and placed his proctor
on the top, to observe rte conduct of the people, and
make signals of distress if necessary; for though he and
his friend Mr. Pim (the Magistrate under whose warrant
the sale took place) have regular police stations in ,their
houses, they have made telegraphic arrangements to call
for more help on occasion. This day, however, no seizures
were attempted, and the crowd dispersed quietly.
Not a man in the neighbourhood will now work for
either of these gentlemen, or buy or sell to them, or those
who have acted with them, " for love or money." Mr.
Pim's farrier, who had some of his cattle under cure, has
" given them over," and would only go once to Mr.
Pint's Louse to receive money due to him. One of Sir
Gerald Aylmer's tenants, who bid for the tithe cattle at
the auction, sent to Dublin for potatoes, which were for-
warded to him by the Grand Canal. These, on their
arrival, were thrown into the canal by the neighbours,
and the boat proprietors, Messrs. Hyland and Co., were
warned, that if they supplied any of the tithe party with
provisions, their boats would be sunk ! A shopkeeper who
supplies the police with provisions, and who sold Mr.
Preston two stone of salt, to preserve his tithe mutton
slaughtered after the auction, has had his supplies cut off
for miles round. Even his baker will not give him a loaf.
He sent his cart to a distant town, where the fact was un-
known, and procured a supply of bread, groceries, &e. ;
these were, on their return, seized by some neighbours
passing by, tied up in a bag, and sunk in the nearest hog-
hole. He hoped, by paying treble price as a penalty, to he
able to stock his shop for the police, but he has been asked
20/. for a bag of potatoes in open market, and the owner
would ask " no second price."
One of Sir Gerald's tenants, who bought seven cows at
the sale, has determined on throwing up his farm and
leaving the country. He offered these to their owners for
the 3s. a piece that lie had given for them. They refused,
as these 3s. would amount to so much tithe paid. He
offered to let their owners milk them ; they refused to take
the milk of tithe cattle, and, in fact, will be sufficiently
indemnified from the fund collected for the purpose, now
a considerable one. With this aid the parishioners are
commencing legal proceedings against Mr. Preston, who
it appeared n.giected to register the pound, employed an
illegal auctioneer, &c. He now repents heartily of his
rash proceeding, to which, it is said, lie was especially
urged by Government on a.surances of its most complete
support,—which, indeed, lie has had, but it avails him
loifttle. His father,

Mr. Pita has also seen the impolicy of his conduct. He
has expended 6,000/. on his estate at New Park, and
cannot get any labour done on it since the tithe affair
commenced. He now confes'es that he would nut for
6,0001. more have taken part against the people. Ile
now declares that lie will pay no more tithe or church
cost, nor attend church vestries, if the people will work
for him; they, however, remember many late declarations
of the zealous iragistrate not at all complimentary to the
power of the people, and insist that he shall show his sin-
cerity by signing a parish protest against tithes, church
rates, &c , and subscribing 50/. to the common fund. This
Mr. Pint thinks would be too great a recantation, and so the
affair stands.

It is worthy of remark, that the Rev. Mr. Preston's
strong proceedings were not for arrears of tithe ; the pa-
rish is under the Composition Act, and payments were
regularly made every half year till last month. There was
not 1/. owing of ti:e tithe due in November, 1831.

M. ABEL REMUSAT, Member of the Insti-
tute, died in Paris on Saturday, after a short illness. The
cause of his death was csncer i❑ the stomach. He was in
his 61th year. The death of this gentleman among others
leaves a vacancy in the office of keeper of the Oriental
manuscripts in the King's library. He was a very lesrned
man, and particularly distinguished fur his knowledge of
the Chinese language. In 1811, he published an essay on
the language and literature of that nation, and in 1814, a
Professorship of Chinese was established in the College de
France, to the chair of which he was at once appointed. He
was also one of the principa's in the establishment of the
Universal, one of the Journ,ls annihilated in 1830—an
occurrence which caused him a great deal of vexation.

CHOLERA IN YoRK.—It is our painfal duty
to announce that this disease has at length made its ap-
pearance in our hitherto healthy city.—The first case
which occurred was on Sunday, when a man named
THOMAS Hueasxs, residing in a court called Hagworm-
nest, in Skeldergate, was attacked ; since which six other
persons have been seized with the disorder, four of whom
have died.—The deaths have occurred in the following
places :—One in Hagworm-nest ; one in a back court in
Swann-street, Nunnery-lane, and one in the First-
water-lane. Of the remaining cases, the man
(Huones) mentioned above, is doing well; of the
other two cases, one in Middle-water-lane, promises to re-
cover ; the other, near Skeldergate-postern, is still in a
precarious state.— York Chronicle.
A RAREBIRD ON THE BRITISH COAST.--
A male spoonbill was shot by Sir FREDERICK FULLER, of
Aldborougb, on the 14th of May ; his height 31t. 7in.,
the wings extending over 4ft. 6in., bill 9in, which, with
the legs, are jet black; the body snow white, with a ring
of golden feathers rand the neck next the breast, and a
fine crest on his head. He was seen in company with
two others. Mr. FULLER has added him to the many fine
specimens in his possession. In dissecting him, there was
found in his stomach near half a pint of shrimps.—Bury
Herald.
