THE SPIRIT OF RODENSTEIN.—Gossips
have been busy in Englaid with the spirit of Rodenstein.
It s, ems the spirit has been disturbed, and departed from
Rodenstein to Schnellartsburgh ; to those who have seen
the opera of the Freischutz, the incantation scene is what
the noise may be compared to—or rather, as people say,
the noise in that scene is taken from what is heard in the
Odenwalde when this spirit is troubled—all the horrible
noises combined which can be im ,gined. It prophesies
war; when peace is near at hand, the spirit will return to
its own mountain : however, for the credit of the improv-
ing generation. this tradition has lost some of its import-
ance, for the &host of the old Baron RODENSTEIN walked
abroad s nne seven years since, and no war followed.

It has been reported that the cholera morbus
had broken out with great virulence in the little village of
Greenhithe, in Kent, but it is ascertained that though a
great number of deaths, considering the size of the place,
had occurred there within a very few (Lip, the real cause
was the having partaken freely of periwinkles, which
were exceedingly abundant and cheap there, and which
have since proved to be of a poisonous quality. The
great supply of this fish took place on Saturday week,
and the first fatal case occurred on Monday. In the whole
about 70 persons had been attacked, of whom up to Fri-
dgearyeelasststla7te,hiamdt died, ,onaenddematahny

instance of those who hid partaken of the periwinkles.
The following notice has been given at the
General Post-office :—" The mails for Lisbon will in fu-
ture be made up on the Ist and 16th of every month, unless
either day should happen to he on Sunday ; then, on the
following day, to bt conveyed by steam packets from Fal-
mouth. His Majesty's steamer Columbia is appointed
for the Ist of June."

The « desperate fidelity" with which the
peasantry adhere to their resolution of persevering in a
passive resistance to tithes is very remarkable. A correse
pondent informs us that an auction of distrained cattle
took place on Monday, on a townlind near Rathangan, in
the presence of 100,000 people. There were portions
of five regiments (having two pieces of artillery) and about
200 police to superintend the proceedings ! The multi•
rude were addressed by the parish priest,-(the Rev. Mr.
DUNNE) his curate, (the Rev. Mr. WATERS) the Rev.
Mr. BaENAN, P.P., of Kildare, and Mr. C. Qum, of
Robertstown. There was not the slightest violation of
atiulectopienael'eer. and as soon after the sale as the names of the
and purchasers were announced, the vast assem-
blage dispersed. Our informant states that he has atten-
ded auctions at which the owners of cattle worth 6/. a
piece suffered them to be sold for 3s. On one occasion
he saw two cows and two heifers knocked down for la, 6d.
