TITHES AT BERWICK-DPON-TWEED. — The Corporation of this borough make

a nice thing of their tithes. The value of them is above 2,000/. per annum, out of which the corporators pay the vicar 80!.; a renewal fine is paid every seven years to the Dean and Chapter of Dur- ham, which amounts to some 600/. annually ; the remainder, 1,300/. or 1,400/. the Corporation spend as they see meet. The Dean and Chapter have privately added 100/. to the Vicar's pittance, but the Corporation has not yet folloewd their example. What renders the case more no- ticeable, is the fact that the tithes were originally leased from the Dean and Chapter by the Vicar, and only lapsed to the town by the suicide of one of the lessees.
