TITHES. O❑ Monday last the Rev. Alr. Picaton, Rector of Kiltnague, in the Bog of Allen, called an auction on the hay which he had seized fcts 71. tithes, sad tyro thipgs bap Fletcher thanked the Magistrate, and said he would act upon his suggestion. On Saturday, after the public business was disposed of, an application was made to Mr. MINSHULL on behalf of a gentleman, named Best, by his solicitor, Mr. Langham, for a warrant against a person named Daly, who it was alleged had feloniously obtained posession of a bill for 1,2501., drawn by the Earl of Uxbridge, and accepted by the late Mr. Bouverie, the Commissioner of Customs, who some months ago committed suicide, in consequence, it was alleged, of some gambling transactions in which he had been involved. Mr. Langham intimated his wish that the matter should be private, and, yielding to that suggestion, Mr. MINSHULL directed him to the clerk's office, in order that an information on oath should be taken down in writing. We believe, however, from what subsequently transpired, tat the warrant applied for was not then granted, in consequence of a suggestion thrown out hy the Magistrate. At the evening sitting Mr. Langham, accoFn• panied by two gentlemen, appeared again before Mr. MtiNstitlLL, Mr. Daly, the party accused, having intimated his intention of meeting them at Bowstreet, for the purpose of explaining under what circumstances he had taken possession of the bill in question. Mr. Daly, however, did not come forward, but a person named Murphy attended on his behalf, and stated that Mr. Daly was unable to attend, having gone to Cowes, in the Isle of Wight, for the purpose of procuring the attendance of the Earl of Uxbridge, who would bea necessary witness on his behalf. Mr. Daly would return to town on Thursday, and meet the charge before the Magistrate._  Mr. Langham knew nothing of Mr. Murphy Mr. Daly was the party whom he charged with feloniously possessing himself of a bill which was presented for payment, and he would have no dealing with any other person. Mr. Daly had promised to come forward that evening, and had failed to do so. Mr. Murphy said, that Mr. Daly, in taking possession of the bill, had acted under the directions of the Earl of Uxbridge, the drawer. His Lordship had declared that he had been defrauded out of the bill, and had never received any value for it. Mr. Langham said, that the circumstance of the Earl of Uxbridge having declared that he had been defrauded out of the bill had not been stated by Mr. Daly when he (Mr. Langham) saw him that morning. It appeared to be an after-thought in order to gain time. Mr. Daly had, however, committed an act of felony, and must be answerable for the consequences.  Mr. Murphy s iid, that it would be hard if Mr. Daly should be obliged to meet so serious a charge in the absence of a material witness. As soon as he understood that a warrant was intended to be applied for against him, he left his address at the public office in Marlborough-street, in the division of which the offence, if any, was committed. There would be no felony, however, in the case, as Mr. Daly gave an acknowledgment under his hand on obtaining possession of the bill. Mr. Langham had nothing further to say upon the subject, and he wished it to be understood that he was not now making any application to the magistrate upon the subject of the bill. He should adopt his own course respecting it. Mr. Murphy wished to know if it was intended to apply for a warrant against Mr. Daly, and if so, whether the hearing was to be in public or private. Mr. Langhatn, appearing as he did for the prosecution, should not intimate to a party charged with felony what come be intended to adopt. Thus far,,
