IRELAND.

Mr. Littleton has ordered the dismissal of Colonel Verner, of An. magh, from the commission of the peace, for ecglect of duty, as respected some proceeding of the Orangemen in the North.—Corh Evening 11cr aid.

Positive orders have been forwarded from the Castle to the constabulary in the North of Ireland, to disperse any Orange processions which may be formed on the 4th November (King William the Third's birthday) or the sueceeding days. This is bringing Orange affairs to a crisis.

It is said in the best-informed circles, that Baron Smith's late charge will be made the subject of a Parliamentary inquiry early next session.

Mr. O'Connell has renewed his agitation of the Repeal question: He addressed a letter to Mr. Fagan, the appointed Chairman of the dinner given to him on Monday last in Cork ; in which he says, that having had his two moeths play, Inc is as ready and willing as ever "to agitate for old Ireland." lie then denounces the Coercion Bill in strong terms; declares that he would never think of' accepting office except under nu Administration that would " impeach Stanley and Lord Anglesea," and that lie has nailed the Repeal colours to the mast. He concludes in these words " Yes, we will repeal the Union ! Yes, we will reestablish the Irish Pellamerit, by the peaceable, legal, and constitutional combination of Irishmen, to which legislators yield, iii order to ottey it sentiment not to be re6i,rted, because universal Ireland will set another example to the nations (If the world of the mode in which great political ellitrwes might to be brought about; that is, without a crime or an offence—witgout sacrifice of property—and, above all, without one drop of blood."

The war of the parson with the peasant is, we are told, about to re. commence; many of the clergy of the Tithe Church having deters. mined to reject the proffered luau in lieu of the tithes of the current year, and of the arrears of the two last years A letter of advice to the Clergy of the Tithe Church, purporting to be written by Mr. Shaw, M. 1'., Recorder of Dublin], having found its way into the newspapers, displayed to the public the disposition and plans of the Clergy and their adherents. The writer of this letter, reckless of the consequences which his pernicious advice, if adopted', would inevitably produce, recommends the tithe-collectors or owners to reject the loan which is proffered to them, and to proceed to the enforcemeat of their tithes by the most expensive and vexatious process in the superior courts; and, for that purpose, he advises them to combine and support each other, and sacrifice even 50 per cent. of their present tithes rather than accept the ternis proposed by the act of last session. The writer shrewdly enough comments upon the object and tendency of this act ; and anticipates from it extinction of tithes and the consequent downfal of his idol—the lush Juggernaut. Be may be right in his anticipation of the tendency of this measure; bust it is difficult to divine how the unguarded and pernicious advice which he gives, and which, if adopted, would provoke a civil war in this country, could in the smallest degree postpone the catastrophe he dreads, or tend to uphold a monstrously anomalous establishment upon the ruin of the people.—Irish Correspondent of the True Sun.

The Tithe system, in one shape or other, is, it seems destined to cause heartburuings, disunion, and contention through the hind. Term* has begun, and with it the never-ending warfare of Clergy and defaulters. The former are giveniby the Composition Act the opportus. nity of bringing their actions for debt simply and cheaply; but already it appears that they are haunted by the spirit of' vengeful litigation, and are crowding the records of the Courts of Chancery and Exchequer with bills and applications, which will in their progress through these Courts load the unfortunate defendants with heavy costs. This terra promises a rich harvest to the gentlemen of the long robe in the matter of tithe-suits alone. Poor farmers, some charged as being only SL in am-rear, are under process of citation to these expensive Courts from the counties of Meath, Westmeath, Wicklow, Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny, King's County, and even Cork.—Times Correspondent.

The following attorney's circular has been addressed to the tithe. payers of the entire parish of Swords, a large village (called in Ireland a town) seven miles from Dublin.

" 5, Talbot Street, filth October..

" Sir—I am directed by the Honourable and Reverend Mr. Howard to apprise you

that be will, immediately after the first day of November next, expect payment of your tithes and arrears of tithes (if my) due up to that day.

" I would respectfully suggest the prudenco of your taking advice as to your liability to pay this demand, before you involve yourself in litigation and expense.If. however, you shall refuse to pay during the ensuing week, I trust you will conceive I am only doing my duty towards my client in takiug proceedings after the time specified

without giving further notice. " I am your obedient servant, " Payment to be sent UsNo. 5, Talbot Street, Dublin."

Mr. Thomas Steele has addressed a letter " to the People of Ireland," which occupies two columns of the Dublin Morning Register, on the subject of the O'Connell tribute. He maintains it ought to be termed " the national debt of Ireland to Daniel O'Connell." He argues in support of the claim which the Agitator has upon the people, in consequence of the loss he sustained in giving up a large professional income and devoting himself entirely to their service. Moreover, he says that it is Mr. O'Connell's duty to maintain his family ; which he cannot do if he gives up his profession and reeeives no equivalent for its gains. This letter is an extraordinary production, as the following extract from it will show.

" The moral compact between O'Connell and his family is positive and explicit, and has imposed on him certain sanctimonious duties to them which rannot he dispensed with, and which it would he a heinous offence in the eyes of God and man to violate by leaving them unfulfilled. The compact between him and Ireland is only tacit and implied ; and if lie la never taken a part in politics at all, and had left Ireland as he found her,—betrayed, terror-struck, and desorted by the world,.--' Lone, as a curse within its shroud,' almost festel rug in its shroud, lie would no more be guilty of any actual positive moral criminality, than any one of those tens of thousand, of amiable and honourable, but retiring Irishmen, in every part of the empiro, who, being unfitted by temperament for public life, shrink almost with shuddering from embroiling themselves in political turmoil, however they might deplore the political destinies of their country. "In one of the languages of the North of Europe, the word which signifies 'to die' is a compound of exquisite pathetic beauty ; literally translated, it would be 'to pass over sorrow.' Now, I am a good deal inclined to think that the highminded into of Enniscorthy will not differ from my opinion, if I affirm that although this beautiful verb shows, in its analysis, a short way of providing that a family shall not endure sorrow, or even exist under the endurance of the slightest inconvenience from the utter deprivation of property, O'Connell would not be quite justified in putting his daughters in easy c i re u mstances for ever, and causing them to pass over sorrow,' by taking them by the tresses and ringlets of their hair, laying his knee on their bosoms, and affectionately cutting through their windpipes with a highly-tempered and fine-toothed Epicurean voluptuous, In

Sylphide, sweet-tnovin,g, not skreekitag, but zephyr-like, lover

like, soft-sighing handsaw ! Neither, -I ELM persuaded, do these •Wexfind men believe that O'Connell would be right, in the presence of their mother, to provide the avoidance of sorrow for ever for his sons by burking them, and sending their bodies as a present to the College (of course the Irish College) of Surgeons for dissection, even although it be evident that he might, to a certain extent, promote the progress of physiological science in Ireland by this 'free-gratis-fornothing' anatomical donation."

The number of human beings turned lately out of their holdings on Lady Ross's estate, in the county of Longford, amount to 281. Their tenure was a life one, which some time siziee expired ; and they are cast upon the world, for the sin, in the first place, of being Papists, mud in the second, of supplying from their entire number four voters for the popular candidates at the late election. The case of one is particularly deplorable : he is a person named Farrell, who reclaimed the principal part of the land he held, and erected considerable buildings upon it, on the express condition with a former landlord that he should get a renewal of his lease. He is now in the decline of life, and not able to labour for his bread ; and he is thrown upon the high-road like the rest, though he never interfered in the elections one way or the other, and to avoid giving offence had not even qualified himself to vote. He is connected by marriage with a priest ; and this, it is supposed, had so far aggravated the crime of being a Papist, as not to make even his nun excepted case, notwithstanding his being so peculiarly circumstanced. .The entire of these 281 souls are wholly destitute; not having, independently of the charity of their poor neighbours, as much as one day's food. Talk of the Poles and their sufferings.' Is their fate, after all, as hard as that of these miserable beings? Would not Farrell and his hapless family look upon transportation to Siberia as a clemency in comparison to what they are compelled to endure? On the Lorton estate, we understand, the ejectment process is in active operation. Arrears, it is suspected, have been allowed to run on for the mere purpose of getting them into a difficulty from which they could not extricate themselves. We have beard of one who owed two years and a half's rent. He presented all but the last half year's to the agent in a certein district ; and it was about to be received, when the agent's son asked his father how he could give any quarter to a man who voted against his landlord's friend at the last election? The appeal succeeded, and the man was obliged to clear off to the uttermost farthing, which he was only able to do by the assistance of his friends. Many who bad no such resource were sent adrift without ceremony. We should mention, that there was not one of the Ross tenantry wino was in arrear to the extent of a single farthing !—Dublin Morning Resister.

On the 25th ult, while the Sheriff of Donegal was executing an attachment issued by the Court of Chancery against two men for nonpayment of rent, be was surrounded in the town of Letterkenny by a number of persons who attempted to rescue the prisoners, and who threatened the Sheriff with immediate death. The latter presented a pistol, declaring his determination to use it in self-defence ; when the crowd recoiled, but turning on the Sheriff's Bailiff, they cut and beat him severely on the head. The Police, however, coming up, the prisoners were promptly secured. This daring attack took place while the Barrister of tile county and the Magistrates were holding the Quarter-sessions in the above town. The persons arrested, and many others in the same neighbourhood, owe seven years rent, which no one dare demand.

According to the corporate inquiry at Cashel, the Corporation of that ity consists of a Mayor, and sixteen Aldermen, Recorder, two Bailiffs, Town-clerk, two Sergeants at-mace, Sword-bearer, and Towncrier. The Mayor is chosen annually by the freemen, from three candidates selected by the Aldermen, who with freemen constitute the ..Common-hall. The salary of the Mayor is only 50/. a year. He is ex-dficio Magistrate of the county of Tipperary. Baron Pennefather is the Recorder of Cashel, but has a resident deputy. The Mayor and sixteen Aldermen of the Corporation are immediate relatives or near connexions of the Pennefather family. Mr. Matthew Pennefather is considered the patron of Cashel at present. The rental of the Corporation is 219/. annually, from 2,500 acres of land, of which land 1,314 acres were leased to the late Richard Pennefather in 1830, for 89/. a year, for ninety-nine years, after he had purchased the interest of the previous tenant, Mr. Bolton, for a large sum.—Limerick Chronicle.

The potato digging has been very much retarded by rain ; but the crop, so far as has been dug, is turning out good, both as to quality and quantity. At least one half remains in the ground, and wheatsowing will consequently be very backward ; however, there is a good breadth of fellows and clover leys sown, which has a promising appear. ance.—Droyheda Journal.

On Thursday night, Martin Bowe was murdered at Ballinasloe by three men, with whom he had a dispute. There can be little doubt, we should hope, that justice will be speedily avenged ; the perpetrators of this foul deed being well known, we understand, to the police.
