terror and dismay, the music of the popular
bands, and flags, and banners, rousing the
iercest and most latent feelings of the people.
The auction commenced, under the direction of
,‘ strange" auctioneer—the Catholic priest,
,done preserving law, and restraining the temper
of the infuriated multitude. No bidding was
even risked by a puffer. The most deafening
and tumultuous shouts rent the air. The cattle
were ultimately given up to the people, who
separated, to carry with them to the most distant
counties the tithe epidemic ! We offer no com-
mentary on this most extraordinary and dramatic
scene in a Christian country. We extract from
the same Journal (the Cork Reporter) a similar
affair in Carlow :

" TITHES IN CARLOW.—We published on Tuesday an
extract from the Carlow Morning Post, stating that a
number of cattle, seized for tithes, had been lodged in the.
Carlow gaol-yard, and that yesterday was the dak-fixed
for offering them for sale. Accordingly preparations were
made yesterday for that curpose—the country people at an
early hour began to collect, arriving in patties from all
quarters of the counties of Carlow, Kildare, Kilkenny,
Queen's County, and Wexford, to the number of at least
40.000, wbo, through the influence of several of the Ca-
tholic Clergy, preserved the most provoking good order.
A large body of military were in attendance. At twelve
o'clock one bullock was put up to auction,,but not a single
bidder could be found ; and in the presence of 40,000
persons the cattle were returned to the owners."

•
Such is the damnable consequence of the ob-
stinate resistance of the Duke of Wellington
and Sir Robert Peel to Catholic Emancipation
and to Parliamentary Reform ; such the result
of their infatuated and blind support of " Pro-
testant ascendency." We give these extracts
for the information and benefit of the English
people—a commentary on the labours of their
sagacious Legislators, the Tories. Will they
ever again tolerate Tory mis-rule ? Do we
wonder at the favourite project of a dissolution
of the Union when we witness such disunion
and unchristian persecution and strife—such
robbery of humble members of one religion to
enrich the clergy of another? While famine,
pestilence, and fiscal extortion lay waste this
district—while the Irish Government refuses to
aid a suffering population—yet it is quick and
lively to lend its civil and military force to sell
the blanket and the cow of the poor peasant to
stuff the greedy parson and voracious ecclesiastic.
The following letter affords another instance of
the Castle policy in a copy of an official docu-
ment we have been favoured with by a corre-
spondent

" Dublin Castle, 19th May, 1832.
" am directed by the Lord Lieutenant to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th inst. ;
and I beg to acquaint you that his Excellency's directions
have been signified to Major Miller, to concert measures
with the military authorities, so as to have a sufficient
force to prevent the sale which is to take place at Rath-
cormac being interfered with, or the public peace broken.
" WILLIAM GOSSETT.
" To the Rev. Richard Deane Freeman."
Can military satraps conciliate Ireland ? Are
the mild precepts of religion to be thus super-
seded by cannon, by the bayonet, and glitter-
ing steel ? Is the Sermon on the Mount to be
abrogated for a fatal code of pains and penal-
ties ; and, are men's consciences to be forced,
and their faith thus vainly endeavoured to be
coerced ? Is a fertile country to be laid waste
as a desert, and coercion to be falsely called
" peace ?" Are the many thus to be plundered
and alienated from the common Government,
that a few Noble families and ecclesiastical
drones may live on plunder and unjust taxation ?
Some may exclaim, " wait for the Reform Bills ;
do not expose the wrongs of Ireland." We will
not wait a day—no, not an hour—in sending
the thunder of the Public Press of England
throughout the empire, and denouncing this base,
this almost incredible misgovernment. If the
Right Hon. E. G. Stanley remains in the Irish
Administration, he must pass a little of his
tune in a countr' he professes to govern. Had he
done so, he would not have doubted the unani-
mous, determined, and righteous spirit of the Irish
people, to rid themselves of the monster of Protes-
tant Tithe in Catholic Ireland. Our Sister Country
must be newly governed ; or a dissolution—aye,
separation—will speedily become inevitable.
Ministers must quickly pass the Reform Bills.
The amendment of the representation of Ireland
is, above all, necessary and pressing. Ministers
must turn over the old leaves of Irish legislation.
A master-mind is called for to heal the wounds,
to cauterise the political cancers of her constitu-
tion. The whole political system of Ireland—
especially the Lord-Lieutenancy—must be re-
considered and altered ; her landed aristocracy
must be made the protectors instead of the
scourges of the people ; poor laws must set
bounds to the extortions from the miserable
cottier ; education must be extended and nation-
alized, or a political crisis is inevitable. These
" mock auctions " of tithe cannot continue many
weeks without the most disastrous and irrepar-
able consequences. The Irish people will soon
be picked to the bone.—Morning Chronicle.
We give a short report of the public reception
of Mr. Attwood in Birmingham, and we cannot
but contrast it with the painful scenes above no-
ticed in the county of Cork. What a singular
and grateful contrast the different objects of the
two vast assemblages of the people ! How vainly
have the boroughmongers deceived themselves !
In hope, in fear, in exultation, the hearts of the
people have been true. Such a nation never
could be subdued by a miserable faction ; and

gle. They have falsely calumniated the Bir-
mingham people especially, as revolutionists and
anarchists ; they have denounced the Political
Unions as aiming at the dissolution of the social
system. Had Mr. Attwood and his able coad-
jutors, the leading Reformers of Birmingham,
meditated or desired revolution, it is palpable
that in October and in this month they might
have achieved that end ; but the Opposition
Press and the boroughmongers know well that
these intelligent and patriotic men have upheld
law and order, and controlled the passions of
the people—hence their calumnies and acrimony
—hinc ilh lachrymee. But it is the nature of
men to vilify and slander those they have in-
jured; and the Oligarchs acutely feel that the
energy, talent, and moral courage of the people
of Birmingham, aided by their countrymen
throughout the three kingdoms, have at last
placed the hook firmly in the nose of Leviathan.
The boroughmongers affect to predict and fear
the future movements of Political Unions ; the
crafty foxes only groan under the past exertions
of those useful associations.—Morning Chro-
nicle.

BYRON.
STIRLING.—On Thursday evening, when the
news of the restoration of Earl Grey to power
arrived in town, the bells, by order of the Magis-
trates, rang a merry peal. Two splendid bon-
fires were immediately lit up, and continued to
blaze till after midnight. The streets presented
the appearance of a joyous throng, exchanging
the most hearty congratulations, and several
convivial parties assembled in the different inns
to give vent to the feeling of general and intense
satisfaction with which the news was hailed.
BANNOCKBURN.—The immortal field of
Bannockburn presented on Thursday an enthu-
siastic display of patriotic feeling, and attach-
ment to the cause of liberty, well suited to the
sacred spot. On intelligence of Earl Grey be-
ing reinstated in office reaching the spirited and
populous village of Bannockburn, part of the
Committee of the Political Union gave orders
for publicly testifying the joy which such tidings
were calculated to impart. A bonfire was lighted
up, the band of music assembled, flags waved
in the air, and a procession of the Union coni-
menced, consisting of the manufacturers, iner-
' chants, proprietors of the adjacent collieries,
and other gentlemen of the village and
cinity, attended by almost the whole popu-
lation of the place, of whom the female
part, not behind in zeal, bore no small pro-
portion. The procession passed through the
village, with merry hearts, to the far-famed
Bored Stone. By this time it was mid-
night—calm, sweet, and still. The moon shone
mildly through a thin veil of fleecy clouds, and
the season, the hour, the soft moonlight, and
the recollections of past times, harmonized de-
lightfully with the feelings which led the assem-
bly to the memorable spot. Three cheers were
proposed for the long devoted and true friend of
his country, Earl Grey, and three for his young
favourite and now hopeful darling, the Bill,
which were most enthusiastically given ; and
three for the unflinching supporter of the people's
rights, Mr. Hume; three cheers were next given
to Mr. O'Connell for his late compliment to the
Scotch ; and three for the Scots Greys. A hor-
rible burst of groans was also given for all the
enemies of Reform. To the memory of Baird
and Hardie, who suffered for the sacred cause,
every one uncovered, and slowly waved their
hats in profound silence ; and in the utmost har-
mony and order each party retired, rejoicing that
a good cause, and firm supporters, will always in
the end completely triumph.
LINLITHGOW.—A numerous meeting of the
inhabitants of Linlithgow was held on the even-
ing of the 14th inst. at half-past seven o'clock.
the Provost of the burgh in the chair, when a
petition was unanimously agreed to, beseeching
the House of Commons to withhold its confi-
dence and the public supplies, from any admi-
nistration which may refuse to pledge itself to
carry through the Reform Bill. Two hours
afterwards the petition was despatched to Mr.
Gillon for presentation with the signatures of
568 able bodied men. By the same post, in a
similar strain, a petition was forwarded by the
Provost, Magistrates, and Council of the burgh.
On Thursday the 19th, when the tidings of Earl
Grey's restoration to office arrived, they were
hailed here with every demonstration of joy. A
band of music paraded the streets, a bonfire
blazed at the cross, and the friends of reform as-
sembled in the town-hall to dedicate a few bum-
pers to the members of the patriot administra-
tion. The inhabitants are resolved to erect a
monument in honour of Earl Grey, in a suitable
place within this ancient burgh, and subscrip-
tions for this purpose, to a considerable amount,
have already been received.

PENNIC-UICK.—A numerous and highly re-
spectable meeting of the inhabitants of Penni-
cuick and the vicinity, on the subject of Reform,
took place there on the 18th inst. Previous to
the hour of meeting, a number of the inhabitants,
as well as those from a distance, paraded the
streets with bagpipes and banners, bearing appro-
priate mottoes. At the hour of meeting, as the
Gardeners' Lodge could not contain half the
number assembled, it was agreed to adjourn to
the street, where a temporary hustings being
erected, a number of very appropriate speeches
were delivered, to the great satisfaction
and delight of the assembled multitude ; and ul-
timately it was agreed to present an address to
Earl Greyyl which has been since sent off to Lon-
don, expressive of their pleasure at hearing that
he and his colleagues were to remain in office.
Three cheers were then given for the King, the
same number for Earl Grey and his Majesty's
Ministers ; but the hero of Waterloo, who ap-
peared in effigy at the meeting, suffered the
death of a political heretic. The people• after-
wards dispersed quietly and peaceably to their
respective homes, highly gratified with the result
of the meeting. A subscription has since been
commenced in Pennicuick and the country round
it, for E irl Gey's monument.

ERROL.—The prevailing enthusiasm in the
national cause of Reform was displayed here on
Saturday, when the villagers to the number of a
thousand, assembled at the cross, for the pur-
pose of constituting a Political Union. Mr.
Bruce was voted chaiimau. In moving several
spirited resolutions, there were speeches delivered
Nhich indicated no ordinary share of political in-
formation. The meeting was enibellished by
several flags, and enlivened by a band of music.
CUPAR.—The excitement last year at the
election of the Lord Advocate, was nothing to
.vhat took place on the news of Earl Grey's re-
storation. The bells were set a ringing, and in
less than half an hour the people on the street
must have amounted to two or three thousand.
A bonfire was kindled at the Cross, and a band
,f music played along the principal streets, ac-
companied by the cheers of the populace, whose
..,,reetings and congratulations, when acquaintances
inet one another, would have made one think
hat each had just found a fortune. It was

imusing to see here and there a solitary Tory
,hooting along, and stealing homewards to re-
►ret in solitary disappointment that we should
nave no hangings or banishments for the sedi-
tion (as they call it) of the last eighteen months,
Ind that all hopes now of places and appoint-
,flents and town-council influence with our future
representatives should be for ever at an end.
ST. ANDREWS.—Friday last was a day that
will not soon be forgotten in St. Andrew's. The
:vents at least that made it up—trifling and in-
•onsiderable as they will seem in the eyes of the
great world"—will long be had in remem-
►rance by our little .community. With Whig
tnd with Tory—Reformer and Anti—Mode-

ite and Waverer—with one and with all—old
►dies, lame priests, and cracked pensioners,
Friday, 18th May will be remembered « many
13)s hence." On that day came the news of
.Vellington's complete failure, after many efforts,
forming a new Administration, and of Earl
Trey having been sent for by the King. The
ilea which this intelligence produced on the
