On Weelnintdity! night an attempt' was made to set on IN

the Al Mallow road, within foUr miles of this City.—
(Cork !tondo
A Oentletimn who his a large farm near Mallow, made
a compromise for his tithe with the Rector of the Parish,
agreeing to make him an annual payment In lieu of B.
His Steward intending to make the hay of the farm into p
rielt. made arrangements for that purpose. On Sunday
night a party of Whiteboys came to the house of the
Steward ; and, on his opening the door, they desired him
to keep inside, .and they threw stones to prevent hint
coming out, lest he should have any opportunity of oh.
serving their persons. They then told him that no
promise relative to tith's would he allowed; that the !teegr
must he made to draw his tithes, SS otherwise they would
set• fire to the house an I haggard. The steward was
allowed %few days to communicate with his employer on
tbi subject. and the party went oft —(lbid.)
LtsuutteK; SEPT. 17.—A large barn, the property of Mr.
Dauirl Nibill, between Croach and Mare, was maliciously
burned down on Sun lay night, between eleven and twelve
o'clock, together with a plough, harrow, and other arti-
cles of husbandry. The Police were on the spot shortly
after the fire, but no trace of the incendiaries appeared.
On Saturday morning lase, at the hour of six o'clock,
Mr. John 11. Wit:isms, with a party of twenty men, dis-•
trained some of his tenants on a farm situated about eleven
miles west of Bandon, and two of Baleauren, fmr non-
payment of rent—line of the tenants, with a whistle ins-
ineiliaely'eagenshleil a mob of over two hundred men, and
attacked Mr. tVillhuns and his party, with vollies of atones
rescued the cattle, struck Mr. Williams hiniselt, wounded
some of Isis men desperately, and disarmed one wan of a
gun.
A violent attack was made last Tuesday, on some tithe
valuators at New-Inn. County Tipperary, who hal the
precaution of taking a few police for their protection;
they were assailed, eight in number, in the open day, by
a banditti of about 30 ruffians, blackened. and mostly
armed, who commenced firing on them ; this the police
r turned, and it is hard to say what might have ensued,
if some of the military from Nest-Inn had not come to
' the relief of the proctors. The assassins then fled.
leaving various costs and I.a's behind theism; and two were
wounded, having been obseived to fell frequently in their
retreat.—(Lioseriek Chronicle.)
TITHES, COUNTY K CERT.— A meeting took place yes
termsey in this parish, for the purpose of carrying this act
if practicable into eff et. I'he parishioners offered the
Llergyinan an annual payisient of 26411. being 201. a year
more than they hate been let for to a yearly tenant for
some time, and at which he had stirrendered them as too
high. This offer was rejected, and a demsliol of 3501. (or
1101. more than they had been let fai) made to which the
parishioners would lint agree. Under these eircitinstances
and as the tithe books were not produced, the treaty ter-
minated. As an experiment is to lie made in severs) otter
parishes in this county, under this act. we shall have an
ttisportstility in each case of relating the result in the
success of which the peace of the country is so deeply
involved.—(Kerr) Paper.)
CARLOW, SEPT. 18.—On this subject, as far as relates to
our own vicinage, we leave to congratulate ourselves, and
to thank Providence, that all is perfectly tranquit—There is
I no lacteal demonstration of any thing evincleg an evil ten-
Idency in the people. nor are thereamsy very great complaints
of poverty or privation, even amongst the lower orders of

that an attempt was to be made that night to rub the Cus

Officer, remained op until a late hour. About one o'clock
lon Saturday morning they discovered some persons in the
yard, and observed a triangle placed against one of the
inflows of the tobacco stores. by which means one of the
, ruffians ascended and entered between the bars of the win-
-1 slow. As soon as Mr. Blake observed this lie and Mr.
Townsend left their concealment. Mr. Blake soon returned
with a Sergeant and 6 men,and discovered that the person,
who entered at the window was "the Sentinel left in the

truth whatever in the assertion in Inc &eighty ,Vail, of Wed-

soy, that the statements recently made in the Journal in ques-

quent thereon, are without foultdetion.—(Freciaaa's Jaunted.)

,INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.--(Tute DAT.)
NOVEL APPLICATION.
In the matter of Wm. Simmons an Insolvent,
Mr. MATH showed cause against • rule obtained by the
Insolvent calling upon a Mr. (Alden an opposing creditor,
to shew cause why he, the Insolvent, slioidd not have a re-
hearing. The Insolvent bad been on a former bearing re-
manded, at the suit of Mr. Cullum, fur a period of 18
months.
Mr. Cootie supported the Insolvent's application.
'Mr. HKATII said that as the case was one entirely new,
and no such application having ever been made since the
establishment of the Court, it was necessary to call the
attention of the. Court to the circumstances.—On the 15tb
July last, the Insolvent's discharge WAS opposed by Mr.
Cullom. and the evidence stated that that gentleman was
farmerly a dyer, (having now retired from business) ead-
he had in his service a man named Jarvis, wbo wisued to
purchase the business, hut Mr. Cullum wicked fur security
for the payment of the piirebase money, and Jarvis got
Simtnons, who consented to accept bills fur the amount.
Shortly after j arvis got possession of the premises. Mr.
Cullum saw that a considerable portion of the property
was removed and made away with, and before the expire.
thin of the time for which the bills were drawn, both
Jarvis and Simmons were in custody. The Insolvent
swore that when he accepted the bills, he told Mr. Cullum,
that he was in insolvent circumstances, from having lost ts'
smack which traded to the ron'intot, and of which he,
was the sole owner ; and that Mr. Cullom said " never
mind, put your hand to these bills, it is only a mere
matter of form.—Mr. Cullum in answer, admitted,
that the loss of a vessel ors weet:oned, but said that
was after he hail received Sionnon's hills as a
seenrity. Had it been mentioned before, he would not
have taken them. The hills were exchanged for smaller
ones of a longer date, but amounting in .the whole to the
same sum. The Court then su,pecting that a fraud was
committed between Jarvis end the Insolvent, giving err
dance to Mr. Cullton's testimony, remanded the Insolvent
for IS months. Is op. eared that subsequent to snob rrietatri
the Insolvent ii! take 1 the re e for a le-hewing in his own
affidavit. anti that of five or six o. hers bout persons woo
swore that they had known NIG Cullum from sot to twenty
years, and that they would not bilievet. him on his oath,
when business was concerned ; and that tot evidtuce be had
given was false.
Mr. Hearn argued at great length against the rule, on
the improbability of Mr. a man of integrity, and
who, by honourable ege,tions, had acquired a respectable
fortune, +eriuting himself as had been insinuated by the
affidavits. (Vas it to Ise ant posed that Mr. Cullum, who
would not trust Jarvis, would iim•eot the security of Sim-
mons if he had Ic.iowte that individual to be insolvent ? also
why did not the d ponents conic forward at the first hear-
ing, and give view ruse: testimony? If it were covibrusable
to the Rules of the Court, merchants from the city, of the
first eminence, cook' be ptolnwtl, who would give Mr.
Cullum the most honourable character,
Mr. (oogg was heard in reply —lle contended that the
application was divested of in dignity, and quite within the
scope of probability. The fearsie t Coon el pta)e.l the
Court to grant the Insolvent a re- raring,
The COCUT considered, however, that the matters con
tained in the affidavits were Emily atisoereil, and that they
had no right to iliscred (the test' yof Mr.Culium ; they

lion of this case, which displayed the existence of mud►
bad feeling towards. rich oilier hi tween the brothers, it
appeared that Pose lissolvent hail smote ileclaralons of his
intention to pay his opposing creditors nothing ; and
havini.4 received SJI., from his attorney while In prison, he
remained two mouths losiger in cosilinement, daring which
time he •xpended the .501., and then filed his petition instead
of having none so at unce„'aisil shielded the money so i.ar as
it went, fairly atissongst his creditors.
The Court. un tiiese gr• unds. r-utan•led the insolvent for
six mouths, and ordered Min to be cuoficied within the walls
of the prison.
Jona Elgie, opposed by Mr. POLLCICK, on behalf of the
execistois ut Hen.y .avow, was rem *tided to ',Maio the
consent of three fo lithe ot his creditors to his discharge ;
