REGISTRATION FOR DUBLIN.

The Court closed on Monday evening, leaving as the
result of these sittings alone, a clear majority of ONE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY conservatives over destructives.
In point of fact, the battle for the representation of the
metropolis is won ; for this number added to the class of
electors iu the same interest registered on former occa-
sions, and since the return of MesSrs. O'Connell and,
Ituthven, sets contest and competition at defiance. Great
as is our joy in being rid of the disgrace inflicted upon
the citizens of Dublin. by such a gross misrepresenta-
tion of their opinions and sentiments, as that to which
they have for so long a season been compelled to submit,
we will own that we turn with pleasure from the victory
thus achieved, to the means by which it has been effect-
ed ; and we do this with the greater satisfaction, as it
affords an irrefragable proof of what individual exertion
is capable of producing, and presents a bright and
glorious example, and one singularly worthy of imita-
tion to the Protestants of every county, city, borough,
and town in Ireland. It is idle to say that Mr. O'Con-
nell did not derive much of this political influence from
the moral weight attached to his being the representa-
tive of the capital of the kingdom, and in just the pro-
portion that his power of doing. mischief was increased,
by reason of the situation in which he was placed, so
should our gratitude he rendered to those who, by their'
exertions, have released us and the country from the
odium attachable to both from such a political connexion.
That debt is due to a few gentlemen, who, as a regis-
tration committee, have effected all this good. It is true
they sacrificed their time and ther talents to the good
work—they continued with a perseverance which, al•
though ultimately crowned with success, received, from
time to time, checks sufficient to disgust, and encounter-
ed impediments calculated to appal men of less zeal,
courage, and determination—they had to meet the
apathy of some, the despondency of others—the in-
difference of all; but they continued their labours re-
gardless of difficulties, and they have the satisfaction of
knowing—and a deep and delightful sentiment it must
produce—that they have not only driven Mr. O'Connell
from his strong hold in Dublin, but have proved that no
organization, whether of trades' unions or political clubs
—of repeal associations or county societies—of priests,
papist; or demagogues—can resist property and pro-
testantism, when the one is fairly represented and the
other properly excited.—Dublin Evening Mail.

ANTI-TITHE OUTRAGES AND THREATENING

NOTICES.

The constant boast of the government journals is, that
Ireland never enjoyed such a degree of prosperity and
tranquillity as she has enjoyed during the viceroyalty of
Lord Mulgrave, and much vituperation has been poured
forth on the tory high sheriffs, Lord Glandine and Mr.
Fowler, for refusing to convene their counties to con-
gratulate his excellency on his wise and paternal govern-
ment. This is the age of cant—of high sounding and
unmeaning words; our readers may judge, from what
follows, of the nature of the Taunted tranquillity, and
how deeply indebted the country is to Lord Mulgrave for
securing to it. the possession.of such an inestimable bles-
sing.
The Rev. Robert Kirchoffer, rector of Clondrohid, hav-
ing determined to appeal against an illegal conspiracy to
the laws of his country, despatched several persons to
serve law notices on the parties in arrear for tithe com-
position. The servants of the law were, however, op-
posed by riotous and tumultuous mobs of the peaceful
peasantry, and obliged to desist from their undertaking
and to seek their safety by immediate flight. In the
same parish, on the night of Sunday the 15th instant,
the following threatening and atrocious notice was
posted on the house of Plowman, the Sexton :

(coPv.)
" Ploughman take notice that if you dont quit this place be-
fore this day week that your blood will be drawn to wash the pave-
ments ofyour house, and your wife and Children will be torn in
pices befor your eyes and your prodedestants souls wilt be sent
to hell to keep company with Luter and Calvin we will see then
if your master or his brave wife will save yon.

"To Ploughman
"Sexton -."
And on the morning of last Tuesday, another notice to
the following effect was found under the hall door of Mr.
Kirchoffer's house :

(copy.)
" TAKE NOTICE
Parson Kirchofer that if you persist in recovering your tides
that you will be sarved worse than ever a heietick minnister
was sarved recollect that your sons ar not at home now there-
fore take care of yourself as we ar determined never to pay
them.

The parties were not content with these peaceful and
legal acts. On last Thursday evening they celebrated them
in a manner equally peaceful and legal :—a large fire
was kindled in the immediate vicinity of the rector's
house, while the surrounding hills blazed with fires, si-
multaneously lighted. The back windows of the sexton's
house were on the same evening broken with stones,
and Plowman himself violently assailed with the same
missiles while closing his gate, and to conclude all, the
windows of Mr. Kirchoffer's front parlour were broken
on last Saturday night.
This is tranquillity with a vengeance; and who can
doubt that, in nineteen out of every twenty parishes in
the south and west of Ireland, any attempt on the part of
a protestant clergyman to recover, by law, his legal
rights, would be attended with the same or worse re-
sults, and that this lawless spirit has been encouraged
and enabled to act with impunity, by Lord Morpeth's re-
fusal to grant to the clergy the aid of the military or po-
lice?

The bare fact of his being a protestant clergyman
would be sufficient to account for this hostility towards
Mr. Kirchoffer ; but there is another remarkable circum-
stance to which the intense malignity displayed towards
him is traceable. In the winter of 1832, Mr. Kirchof•
fer's house was attacked by a large party of insurgent
vvhiteboys ; the rev, gentleman, however, aided by his
sons, bravely and successfully repelled the dangerous as-
sault; on that occasion also, the greatest firmness was
exhibited by Mrs. KirchotTer. The unmanly sneer in the
notice at the bravery of his wife, and the cowardly boast
that his sons are not now near to protect him, clearly
prove that the anti-tithe conspirators of 1835, were the
rebellious vvliiteboys of 1832, and that they have not for-
gotten nor forgiven their former defeat.—Cork Consti-
tution.
