Mr. O'Connell is expected in Dublin on the 80th ;

and on the 31st the question of dissolving the General Association will be discussed in that assembly.

We observe that the work of tithe-hunting has been renewed ; and that the Constabulary are once more in requisition. We had thought that we were not to have such proceedings resumed,—certainly, that the Government did intend that the Constabulary or Military force would not be culled out, unless for the sake of preserving the public peace, upon any occasion connected with tithes. We wish some of the Dublin papers would explain the cause of this new movement, to- gether with the nature of the Government instructions under which the Constabulary are so employed. We shall keep the subject in view, and call attention to it again, if necessary.—Northern Wide.

The English Tory papers, particularly the Times, have repeatedly asserted that the appoiremeets in the newly-organized Police force of Ireland have been made solely with the view of filling the body with the Papist partisans of O'Connell; and that, instead of consulting Colonel Shaw Kennedy as to the persons fit for promotion, according to Lord John Russell's pledge to Sir Robert Peel, that officer's recom- mendations were so systematically disregarded that he had in disgust

ceased to make any. Such is the Tory statement. It appears to be a complete falsification of the facts. At least the Globe positively asserts, that " a single man has not been admitted into the present Constabulary force through any other medium diens that".of Colonel Kennedy ;" and that the " choice or rejection of the men applying to be taken into the service has been left absolutely and entirely at his unquestioned discretion." As to the charge of packing the Police force with Papists, it appears that out of ir,0 chief officers, 212 are Protestants.
