The Diocesan Union of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross, regularly convened
by the Archdeacon, has, by an unanimous vote of the clergy, con- demned the projected union with the Marlborough Street Institution, and refused to cooperate either with the Commissioners of National Education, or with the Committee of Derry and Raphoe. " We do solemnly and firmly protest," say they, "against any plan or system, from whomsoever emanating, which may in anywise interfere with the liberty, privileges, and rights of Christian men, and against any sort of compromise in respect of this fundamental and essential point."— Dublin Mail. [Pretty fellows to talk of the "rights of Christian men" are these Protestant consumers of Catholic tithes.] We lament to state that the accounts from all parts of the country, North as well as South, give a most heart-rending description of the sufferings of tbe poor.--Dublin Post. Mr. Otway Cave has stopped the tithe-suits against him, by paying the tithes. He excuses himself for yielding. by sa)ing that when be found resistance occasioned the loss of life, he determined that it was wrong to persevere in it. He pledges himself to vote for the absolute extinction of tithes. There is a rumour in Dublin, that a gentleman of the highest rank, on entering his bed-room, found his wife in the embraces of another, and stabbed the adulterer to the heart. lithe rumour be well founded, and we have some reason to think it is, the names of the individuals cannot long remain a secret.—Freeman's Journal. It is said that the parties are a lord and an officer in the army.
