THE TITHE SYSTEM IN IRELAND.

On Sunday, the Bth inst., a notice to the following
effect was po•ted on the chapel of Bells, county of Meath

" NOTICE.

" Brave hurlers of the county Kilkenny, keep up your
courage and persevere. There are 40,000 inert well pre-
pared and firmly determined to join you in the counties of
We:fold and Carlow. Send notices to New Ross and
Graigue, and they shall be with you in 24 hours. Any
man that pap; tithes, or does not join you to defeat the
supporters of that damnable imposition, is a traitor, and
an enemy to the country, and you ought to pour the vial of
your vengeance imrnediitely upon him.
"Inniscorthy, Jaa. 4."
" N.B. Any person that takes down this bill will incur
the displeasure of the Supreme Degree."
This document differs from the general run of" notices,"
in the superiority of its orthography. Enniscorphy is the
only word mis-spelled ; " Inniscorthy" being very old
style. Notwithstanding the denunciation, a policeman
tore it down. In the North, the farmers and peasantry
are emulating the opposition of the South to tithes, but in
a more peaceable course of proceeding.
A resolution was lately entered into by the people, not
to deal with a publican in Caller, who is engaged in col-
lecting tithes; the consequence is, the man's business is
knocked up.—Limerick Post.
Gerald Fitzgerald, Esq., chief magistrate of Police at
Thurles, is summoned to attend the Parliamentary Com-
mittee on Irish tithes.
Last week, pursuant to requisition the great meeting
of the parish of Ballyadams, for the abolition of tithes,
took place at Corbally-house. It was attended by all the
leading and influential Catholic landed proprietors, while
some Protestant gentlemen took a leading part in the pro-
ceedings. Several thousand persons were present.— Car-
low Sentinel.
Sunday last, according to requisition, a meeting of the
farmers, &c., of the parish of Newtown, near Carrick-
on-Suir, fur the purpose of opposing the payment of tithes
in every legal and constitutional way in their power, was
held in the chapel, immediately atter mass, Mr. Michael
Wall, of Mainstown, in the chair. Several strong reso-
lutions were passed, and a petition, adopted to be presented
by Mr. O'Connell, in which it is stated that they think it
oppressive and unjust to contribute to the support of a class
of men from whom they receive nothing in return ; par-
ticularly by them, there being neither a Protestant clergy-
man, a Protestant, or a church in their parish.-- Water-
ford Chronicle.
On Monday an immense number of country people con-
gregated between Mullinahone and Freshford. Several
speeches were delivered on the occasion, and resolutions
entered into, by which they pledged themselves, that in
case the military were sent among them to assist in the
collection of tithes, they should share the fate of the police
of Knoctopher.

The parish of Tacutnshane (county Wexford), is again
about to lead the way in petitioning the Legislature for the
total abolition of the intolerable burden of tithes.—Wex-
ford Independent.
A notice was posted last Sunday on the Chapel of
Dumore East, warning the people against paying tithes,
and threatening death to the clerk of the chapel if he did
not publish it in English and Irish.— Waterford Chron.
A requisition, already very numerously and respectably
signed, is in progress, calling on the independent inhabi-
tants of Carlow parish to meet on Sunday, for the purpose
of adopting legal and constitutional measure:a for the total
abolition of the hated tithe system.— Carlow Post.
A meeting of the public spirited and respectable inha-
bitants of Crook town (county of Kildare) will be held
on Sunday to discuss the horrors of tithe. Petitions to
both Houses of Parliament, and a setieN of resolutions,
will be submitted for the approbation of the meeting.—

At the quarter aes•ions of Athy, on Monday and Tues-
day, several tithe cases were called, but no professional
man could be found to proceed with them at any fee.
1-low ungracious must be the task, when even the attor-
neys refuse the fees. These are certainly strange times.
