A letter from Mr. O'Connell to the Protestants of Ireland

appear, in the Pilot of Wednesday. It is devoted to an explenation of the new Irish Tithe Bill ; which, of course, Mr. O'Connell generally approves of; though he thinks that lay tithes ought to be included in its provisions, and is averse to the " surplus" going to the Treasury. Mr. O'Connell may be very easy as to the nonentity called "a surplus."
