No tythes are paid Even those who would be willing

branded "tythes," returns in triumph from the
place of sale, to give milk anew for the aid chill
der". We hear some people exclaming against this
unruly conduct of the Irish; but for single SELF
we are delighted with it. There is much justice
IN chousng the parson-there is much and so
good reason, in euding the exactions of a Hierar-
chy imposed upon Ireland contrary to her wishes,
and to every principle of religious and political Ii
berty, that any MEANS (Revolution itself) are just
ihable' which can bring redress English alarm
anticipates extension of the system to the rents
of Absentees, and generally to whatever is con.
nected with the oppression of Ireland, and this
alarm is certainly well grounded No man can
possibly believe that Ireland will ever again be pa
cifc, until one of two things has occurred-the
concession in full, of all her just political demands
or the extinction of the insurrectionarv shirt
once moro, in the blood of the Irish People. That
spirit is abroad in the word-in ENGLAND itself

improbable. England will have to do that last.
which had better have been done first-restore Ire
land to her independence, and depend upon the af
lection of freemen, rather than the submission of
slaves for that benefit which was anticipated from
the Union. We invite attention to the extract
from the New York Americana
eve mentioned yesterday in our summary of
fhnfr oh
henson was felt in England about the various
movements taking place in the sister kingdom upon
the 1.-THE question. The Ant-tithe meetings, which
are now held in various parts of Ireland are
characterized by GOODNESS in council and system
attic form of procedure, from which England has
more to apprehend than from the tumultuous as
semblage and rash conduct of mere mobs however
large. There is a unity of purpose among them
and general sobriety of demeanor. which enables
them to act with all the energy arising from
concert and good counsel. OF this our readers
may Judge by the instances we find them
given I'm an English paper:-A farmer, or man of
respectable landed estate for instance offends

compassion, to relieve the agonzed and perishine
brutes OF the denounced delinquent, and he is com.

this prohibited impost." Again, an extensive coach

messed, when the vehicle arrives laden with passen
gers or goods, on the transmission of which the
comforts the peace, the trade perhaps the bre of
families are dependent. The communications be-
tween themetropolis and a whole line of thorough
fare in country, whose inhabitants live, and barely
live by their industry alone, is interrupted by the
soppage ofth only vehicles that exist for that com
municatlon; and the very springs from which life is
supplied to hundreds of the laborng poor sudden

must be some individuals of intelligence and influ-
ence behind the curtain, who act as moderators,

Proceedings advisedly conducted, must while
they alarm, still claim the respect of tho British

! the proud threat of Mr.. OConnell in the House
of Commons, that if England did not at once
reeVe his country from the oppression of the tythe
system, the people of Ireland would soon place
themselves beyond the power of British legsla-

"Were st. Paul (says the London Morning
Chronlcle) to return to life and to pay visit to

land and the tithes of number of churches while
