TITHE AGITATION IN WALES.  Mr. Craft, an auctioneer, recently visited the parish of Derwont, near Ruthin, for the purpose of effecting distraint. for tithes due to the rector, which he had levied the previous week. His visit was well known, the sales having been advertised by bills, and consequently a crowd of about 500 persons assembled. 'I he auctioneer was accompanied by two police-officers, and the secretary of the Anti-Tithe League was also present. The crowd, says the Times, were nearly all armed with bludgeon., and many of them carried horns. Many of the women carried tins of all shapes and sizes, which they beat continuously. At the first farm visited the auctioneer's face was covered with soot by a woman, whose act was loudly cheered. An effigy, covered with what was intended to represent a surplice, was carried about in triumph as a representative of the clergy of the Church of England in Wales. In several instances the animals distrained upon had been re. moved, and could not be found, and throughout the day not one sale was effected. The crowd obstructed the road so that the auctioneer's trap could not get along faster than at a walking pace. Great excite. mint prevaileiLand several stones and other missiles were thrown at the auctioneer and hie party. The officers of the League seemed to have little control over the crowd.
