In the first instance, a, I have stated, •he rams aphis,
tithe at the auction to tenlimes its value; be.next
waits upon the Procter and purchases up hiubill, and
the moment the clock strike the hour at which the
money i, due, if it is mgt brought to hint he employs
the needy Attorney, who loses nOtime in prosecuting
the delinquent. He does not summon the poor maxi
before the Court in his own district, bnt drags hint
to a distance of perhaps thirty or foi ty miles; to the
farthest corner of the county, when perhaps a•
Court is sitting within ten yards of h.s 0.% n door.-
This, by the bye, k the fault of the Act by which
these County Courts are held, and can only have
proceeded from the framer of this Act being i3norant
of human nature. This journey of 30 or .10 miles is
not the whole misery which the creJitor can inflict
upon his unfortunate debtor. By a little manage-
ment he can postpone the cause till the last day ; nay,
till the very last hour of the Com t's sitting, and thus
keep the debtor away from his home and ,his labour,
at consi ierable expeme, for ;natty days, exposed also
to the influence of the evil propensities of others si-
milarly circumstanced, and then, after having spent
his last penny, he is dragged into Court to hear a
decree passed, authorising his enemy to levy by dis-
tre,s for the whole amount of the debt and exrenses.
Can it, then, be wondered at that murders and btu n-
ings take place, when 120 or 30 su;11 wretches leave
a Court with a certainty that all they possess is to he
forcibly driven from their hovel, and sold at the
mercy of such revengeful creditors; when they know
too, that they can only return to their homes to find
their wives and children starving, and without a
rag to cover them.
These, Sir, are some of the evils which the tithe
system has engendered in Ireland. It is not the being
obliged to pay a tenth of the produce of the soil to
the Ministers of Religion, who, in most instances, are
highly respectable, and endowed with every Chi is-
tiim virtue; let the long leases be set aside, and Tithe
Proctors rendered illegal, and the first step towards
the improvement of Ireland will be accomplished.—
I am aware that the leases in question have become
private property, and that there may be some diffi-
culty in accomplishing their abolition, but it. is not
an insurmountable difficulty; and as to the dispensing
with Tithe Proctors, that can require little eonsi- .
deration. Let the Clergy be compelled to.talce their
tithes in kind, as in this country, or accept of , a
modus, to'be mutually agreed upon between the in-
cumbent and the actual occupiers of the soil. In this
there is surely no hardship. I forbear to enter upon •
other matters at present, being satisfied that, if ;the
Legislature begin at the root of the evil, they will
do more good than all that could be accomplished, ,
if matters of a higher import, in as.far as theorists
reason, were-at once conceded to the factiouis c4;40!..

POMT)101.111, FILL ts.—Thursday, the Pemaamca, round stern,
74, was taken out of dock, having had a thorough repair ; the
VALIANT, 74, was taken into dock for a like purpose. The
ships before noticed as preparing fur commission, are yet pro-
ceeding with. only in an ordinary course of expedition. The
statements we yet perceive in some of the Papers, of the dock-
yard gates being closed, to keep secret the preparations going on
there, are all idle fabrications.

The PANDORA, 18, Captain Wrwast GORDON, sailed on Wed-
nesday for Sheerness, to bring thence newly-raised seamen fur
the Banos, and other ships fitting out in the harbour.
The limos:aye, 18, Captain G. F. Rico, went out of harbour
on Thursday, fitted for the purpose .of joining the squadron in
the iNest Indies, under Sir EDWARD Owes:. It was intended
she should join the SERINGATATAII and REDWING, but these ships
hiving been detained throughout the week at St. Helen's, by
strong S.W. gales, were yesterday ordered not to sail for the
present, but to continue in a state of readiness to proceed. They
came up to Spithead this afternoon.
The BRAZEN, 28, Captain Grolox Wous, fitting at Ply-
mouth for the South American station, will receive her final
orders at this port.
The following ships arrived and sailed from Jamaica, between
the Ist and 12th December, for different destination., viz.

Cape. The Ilexicos arrived at Madeira the 13th of Septem-
ber, and sailed next day for Barbadoes. The Corwav, 24,
Captain Bastx Hail., sailed on the 25th of November, from
Rio Janeiro, for Bahia and England, with a large quantity of
