Kitinanc, a notorious Tithe Commissiorer, the same who was so
much praised by the Chief Baron for good conduct while serving tithe processes in the neighbourhood of Kilinallock, and now an officer of his court, was convicted last week of stealing two heads of cabbage, the property of a reverend gentleman in that district !—Limerieh Star.
The great annual fair of Carrick (in Tipperary) was held on Mon- day ; and it was decidedly the most numerously-attended fair ever held in that populous district. The show of cattle was large, and buyers and sellers were brisk in exchange. As a proof the value of the Tip- perary Society, for the suppression of riots at fairs and markets, gee., we have great pleasure in stating that there was not the slightest dis- turbance on Monday. The factions of the Poleens and the Gows have " turned their swords into ploughshares," and are now as anxious to preserve the peace as they were heretofore to outrage it.—Diddia Weekly Register.
A Catholic cathedral has been consecrated at Tnam, with great pomp and sole lllll ity ; much to the annoyance of the Orangemen, who are eager for the punishment of those who join in Catholic, as well as Orange processions. The Tuam procession, however, seems to have been quiet and orderly, and not insulting to any class of religionists. The Catholic Archbishop, Dr. Crolly, delivered an eloquent address at a dinner which was given on the occasion.
The Orange Society of Sligo has been revived, under the title of the "Protestant Brotherhood." Mr. Cooper, Member for the county of Sligo, is its chief patron.
