IRELAND.-DUBLIN, OCT. G.

A correspondent of the Kilkenny Moderator giv, s the
'6llowing account of the serious opposition experienced by
he police piny employed in posting notices respecting
tithes on Wednesday last, near Mooncoin, in that countv:—
'' While constable Webb, with the Kilinacon detachment
cf police, was enga4ed in posting notices in the neighbour-
hood of Mooncoin, on Wednesday last, they were sur-
ounded by a mob of country people, who assailed them
with stones, and obstructed them in the execution of that
duty. The p dice were compelled to retreat, and at length,
after having expended all their ammunition in firing over
the heads of their assailants, with a view to intimidate
them, took refuge in a house about two miles from
Mooncoin, in the direction of Waterford. The police now
app ied to the Rev. Mr. Carroll, a Roman Catholic priest,
to interfere with the people in their behalf. He did so,
and undertook to protect them from any further insult or
attack, and he accordingly accompanied constable Webb and
ths

men were injured, and only one policeman hurt by the
blow of a stone."

It appears that the parish of Graigue is now undergoing
the operations of seizure and sale on account of tithes. A
body of police left Kilkenny yesterday for that neighbour-
hood, taking with them a cart load of provisions and two
kegs of gunpowder !

In the county of Kildare the suffering farmers and pea-
santry are now turning their attention to legal remedies.
In the parish of Kill, where the Rev. 11r. Warburton
posted notices of sale in six days, they have contrived to
baffle him, and remove the cause out of the hands of the
auctioneer and police into Chancery. They have appointed
an agent, named Harrison (a country attorney), to conduct
their cause, and have subscribed liberally to meet the neees..
sary law expenses. To evade the law against subscriptions
for illegal purposes, the parishioners of Kill have thrown
theirs into the fund for defraying the expenses of the Catholic
el apel,where all their meetings on business are held. Thus

They have already succeeded in converting his two valua-
tors, who declare they will rather go to goal for three
months than swear to their valuation of crops through
the palish for 1831, the matter now in dispute. Lord
Cloncurry has been consulted, and thinks the parishioners
are going on legally. Mr. C. Maxwell, tire proprietor of
the Kilkenny Journal, was at rested yesterday, and
obliged to enter into recognizances, himself in the sum of
4001. and two sureties in 2001., to appear in Dublin on
