FROM TITS DUBLIN EVENING POST.

It is very curious to observe, that almost in the
arithmetical proportion in which firming produce de-
dined, the demands of the tithe-owners have advanced.
Ten years ago wheat was from I2s. to 15s. a bushel,
and a parish was assessed in 5001. a-year on account
of tithes. Wheat is now from 3s. 6d. to 4s 6.1. a bushel,
and the demand on the same parish is 1,5001. But
perhaps the whole palish is not able now to pay 1,1 60/.
in rent. This is not an imaginary case—we know
several of the. kind. But one of the most extraordinary
instances we heard of we shall beg leave to state,
without,however,*mentioning names. What does the
reader think of three pounds an acre being demanded
as a tithe upon wheat ? The statement is astounding
and incredible. We pledge ourselves to its truth,
however. The miracle occurred in the county Of
Clare, and the demand is at this moment in course
of litigation. Now, we would relieve this worthy
Gentleman, and others in his predicament, from tlie
necessity and the odium of making suck. demantri ;
and this, we assure the Church, never can be done
lunless she consents to a commutation of tithes.

.
It would be very difficult, we know, to make out
the account, but we are satisfied that if the amount
of tithes demanded throughout Ireland this year,' 822,
was compared with that levied ten years ago, when
coin was four or five times its present average price,
the total would be found double. Now, do the d-
vocates of tithes think that such a state of thingras
this can last? Or do they imagine that the silly and
outrageous imputations which they lavish upon the
Nobility, gentry, Land-owners, and Farmers of Ire-
land, can perpetuate such a system?

DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Wednesday afternonn,be-
tween three and four o'clock, Mr. THOMAS FLEDIJ-
LEY, a respectable shopkeeper at I.ewisharn, Kent,
drove up in a light cha4e cat t, to the door of Messrs.
CUTLER, the coca-factors, in Fleet-market. Having
ordered some corn in the morning, he called to take
it home with him. Mr. FLEDGI.EY was in the acs of
putting the horse-bag on the horse's head, when the
animal suddenly started off', and ran with alarming
speed up Fleet-market and along Bridge-street, Mr.
FLEDGLEY still keeping fast hold of the shafts of the
cart, and endeavouring to check the career of the in-
furiated horse. When opposite the house of Mr.
GOLDSMITH, chymist, in Bridge-street, Mr. FLEDG-
LEY was unfortunately jammed between his own and
a town-cart that was coming towards him, and killed
on the spot. He has left a wife and family to bewail
his untimely death. An Inquest sat yesterday, .and
brought in a verdict of a Accidental Death," with a
deodand of 2s. 6d. on the cart._

In some parts of Sornersetshire the farmers are ac-
tually selling their wheat at .51. the bushel.
