the parish were Piro nnt, the Right Hon. Lord Dunally
was requested to take. the Chair. The Noble Chairman
having stated the object isf the Meeting, recommended a
composition of the Tithes of the parish with the present
Incumbent, the Rev. Dean Holmes, on terms equitable id

At a Special Vestry, for the impropriate.parish of Cos.-,

after a fair. candid, and able statement of the object of

Act wilt be proceeded on forthwith.—(Lieserick Oros.)
About twelve o'clock on Friday night, the schooner

Cattbow, Oct. 21).—A few nights ago, the Church elf
Fennagh. io this County, was robbed of its furniture, and
although the theft was a petty one in point of profit to the
robbers, yet the disposition it evinces, is a strong proof of
the demoralized state of society. We fear, and we have
long been under the impression, that, although our immedi-
ate neighbourhood is tranquil, the same spirit of malignity
which has superseded every goad feeling, is fast spreading
through the kingdom at large ; and sinless put down by
some more than ordinary exertion an .l energy, is likely to
increase, till it shall acquire a strength and force not easily
resistel. by the means now applicable.
Since write ng the above we have beet) informed that sons,
window curtains have been pawned in one of the offices
of this tows, supposed to be those stolen from Fennagb
Church.—lt would be well if there was an inquiry made
into the cireumstanee, as this might lead to the discovery
of the thieves.—(Carlow Morning Post.)
