IRELAND.

The five Lieutenant-Colonels still employed under the Coercion Bill in Ireland, have received a notification that their judicial services are no longer required, and that their allowances will accordingly. vease.

The following notice is posted up in the market-place of Athenry, in the county of Galway.

"Take notice—That Archdeacon Trench's agent will attend in Athenryron Tuesday, the 22d instant, for the purpose of receiving tithe-rent, and that any person neglecting to pay will be proceeded against as the law directs without further notice.—October 12,1833."

These harsh proceedings will not at all tend to facilitate the recovery of the sums claimed by the Archdeacon and his friends ; whose Con- servative activity has placed them in a position to which the mass of.the peasantry are doubly hostile ; for, not content with enforcing their "right divine" to tithes by every means that human law permits, they- and their clerical brethren of Mayo have been long in the habit of en- couraging crusades against the creed of the peasantry by means of Me- thodist missionaries, Bible-readers, and preachers in the Irish tongue.

The accounts of our Irish Church Establishment have hitherto been kept in a strange kind of style at head-quarters. Gentlemen have been appointed to the tithe survey of parishes in different parts of the country, and on proceeding thither, have found the parishes had been surveyed and placed under composition years ago.—Times.

Mr. Samuel Guinness, a barrister of Dublin, and agent to the estates of Captain O'Moore in King's County, went on Saturday week to col- lect some rents at Bannagher. On his return, at nightfall, he was fired at from behind a hedge, and three slugs were lodged in his head : he lies at Captain O'Moore's residence, Cloughan Castle, in a dangerous state.

Tithe arrests are still going on in the county of Tipperary. A few days since, Messrs. Cleary and M'Grath (the hardship of whose case forms the ground of a memorial to the Lord-Lieutenant, on the subject of proceedings taken against them by the Honourable and Reverend Mr. Cavendish, Vicar of Cahir) were marched through Clonmel, .at the Vicar's suit, escorted by a large body of Police, and lodged in the County Gaol !

Mr. Alexander Montgomery, solicitor, of Belfast, has lately dis- covered, in the Rolls' Office, the long-lost Acts of the Irish Parliament, passed between the years 1639 and 1662, the want of which has caused such difficulties in legal affairs ever since, though sought with such care and expense by Parliamentary Commissions, &c.

A meeting of the grocers of Dublin was held on Thursday week, to consider the best means of counteracting the injury attempted to ,be done to the brewing establishment of Daniel O'Connell junior and Co., through the medium of anonymous letters. Resolutions were unani- mously agreed to, pledging the meeting to give the brewery " suck support in the way of business as it is justly entitled to."

We advert with much pleasure to the donation of 101. given by the Lord Bishop of Cloyne to the Reverend Mr. Mahoney, of Donoughmore, towards defraying the expense of building the Roman Catholic chapels in that parish. This is an act highly creditable to the respected Prelate, and well worthy imitation in other quarters.—Cork Evening Herald.

Last week, public dinners were given to Mr. Fitzsimon, M. P. for King's County, and to Mr. T. Fitzgerald, M.P. for Louth, by their

respective constituents. The Freeman's Journal, which devotes up- wards of nine columns to the report of these dinners, observes, " It is gratifying to the friends of Ireland to learn, that the national toast, on both these occasions, was "the Repeal of the Legislative Union.".

At the great October fair of Carrick, in the county of Tipperary, held last Thursday week, the Poleens and Gows (the two factions that have so often disturbed the counties of Waterford and Tipperary of late) met by appointment, and attacked each other in a most violent manner. The conflict continued for about twenty minutes ; when- it

was put an end to by the timely arrival of the Military and Police, under

the command of Major Rowan, Chief Magistrate, and Chief Consta- bles Croker and Gunn. The Gows, who are the strongest in this part of the country, had the best of the fight; the Poleens were very much beaten, several having their skulls fractured. One boy, named Butler, who was found shouting " Success to to the Poleens," was dreadfully beaten, and is now in a dying state. About thirty of both parties were taken prisoners, and lodged in the Police barracks of Carrickbeg....- Times Correspondent.

The Reverend Dr. King, of London, has lately followed the Ho- nourable and Reverend Mr. Spencer's example, by embracing the doc- trines of the Catholic church. After two years incessant searching after the truth, he lately made his profession of faith before the Right Reverend Dr. Baines.— Wexford Independent.

The Reverend Mr. Tait (son, we believe, of the prophet, if he be not the prophet himself) is now in Belfast, earnestly and indefatigably propagating the doctrines, if we may call them doctrines, which have so much amazed and bothered the Edinburgh Presbytery. We haveto state also, that he has already gathered around him a great number of followers from among the good and pious people of Belfast and its neighbourhood. Whole families have in some instances felt themselves constrained by the spirit to rally around the person of the inspired before long it will be our duty to try our skill at reporting the mutter- ings or shoutings of the happy individuals of our town on whom the gifts may most abundantly fall.—Northern Whig.

A turf boat, the Oastleraggett, of. Tralee, which left Limerick on Friday week, with pusiengers from I3allylongford, was run down by a brig off Foynes Island. The night was very dark, with a.hard gale of wind, when the brig tacking, with all sail crowded, came directly in the . track of the turf boat. Every effort by the captain tolnduce the boat- men to keep clear was ineffectual. Out of eighteen individuals, nine perished ; the rest were picked up by the captain of the brig, and put in at Foynes Island.—Limerick Herald.
