Meetings against tithes, to be held in the open air,
are announced in the counties of Kildare, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, and the Queen's County. It is stated that resolutions similar to those adopted at South Wexford, pledging those assembled never to pay tithes in any shape, and threatening the non-consumption of exciseable articles as an alter- native, will be proposed at these meetings. At the Kildare meeting, which is to take place on Sunday next, a resolution is to be brought forward, expressing " perfect satisfaction" with the present state of the tithe-law, and declaring that, no matter who may be parties to a " compromise" on the question, no payment of tithes in any shape or denomination will be made. In the districts which I have named, the agitetion against tithes is now as general and active as at any period during the last five or six years. There has been, too, a very general expression of discontent and disappointment at the payment of his tithe arrears by Mr. O'Connell.—Dublia Correspondent of the Times.
Mr. James Anderson, steward to the Reverend Joseph Wright, was brutally murdered, on the night of the 4th instant, on his return home from Dundalk. At a Coroner's inquest, a verdict of " wilful murder" was found against four persons. The Lords Justices have offered 2001: reward ; to which Mr. Wright has added 1004 for their apprehension. —Belfast Northern Whig.
