we learn, the sum of 108., tithes due to the Rev. Frederick E. Trench, of Kellestown, in this county. The commissioner of rebellion was attended by Captain Vignolles, R.M., and a large body of the constabulary. Nolan struck the commissioner on arresting him, but was instantly captured by Captain Vignolles and the police, and safely escorted into Carlow. We trust - this will be an useful warning to the tithe delinqents not to heap costs on themselves by opposition to the decrees of the Court of Exchequer. At all events, a few such captures will bring the agitators to their senses, and teach their priests that the laws shall not be set at defiance with impunity. On Thursday last, two men mounted on excellent horses, proceeded to the parish of Kilabin, Queen's county, when they succeeded in serving with law subpoenas several of the most notorious of the antitithe conspirators. Horses were immedi ately saddled at the houses of Kenny, of Ballinagar, M. Longhlin, of Clonebeacon, and John Cahill, and men sent in pursuit. The whole parish was in a short time in motion, but the process-servers had effected their business before a mob could be collected, and, being well mounted, secured their retreat in safety.-Ibid.

ANOTHER PATRIOTIC CONFLAGRATION. -The dwelling-house of John Conway, of Upper Farnans, barony of Slievemarigue, was maliciously set fire to on Friday night, the 6th of May. Conway and his family were awoke by the noise of some geese that were burned by the flames. Conway is the person who, at the last election, was brought by priest Doran to vote for Messrs. Lalor and Cassidy, but declined, when he came to Marybro', to comply with the wishes of the priest, and would not vote at all. Considerable hostility has been ever since evinced towards him, and an effort was made by some of the "patriots" and advocates for "freedom of election," to have him ejected from a place which he held from one of that party, which would have succeeded had he not paid up.-Leinst. Exp. From the annual report of the CORK DIOCESAN ASSOCIATION in aid of Scriptural Schools, for the year ending September 1, 1835, (just published ):

This association was formed in consequence of parliamentary aid being withdrawn from all schools in which the Bible

was read. It has existed one year, and has relieved, with salaries, sixty-two schools, in which are 2,931 children. (Now 3,500.) These and other scriptural schools have been supplied with school requisites. No money has been expended

on agents or inspectors, as the work of inspection has been gratuitously performed by the clergy. Within the last year twelve new schools have been established, and eight revived. The committee intend to adopt the plan (which has been so useful in other districts) of half-yearly inspection, and examination of the masters and children. Besides the schools relieved in the last year, the committee have reason to know that several other scriptural schools, from want of funds, are about to apply to this association for support. Increasing demand will therefore be made on the funds of this association. But the committee, trusting in that kind Providence who has already raised up so many benevolent contributors in England and Ireland to the cause of scriptural education, feel assured the same kind Providence will still put it into the hearts of his people to meet these increasing demands with liberal contributions.

It must be interesting to the friends of the cause to know that similar scriptural school associations have been formed (under the established clergy) in Ardagh, Elphin, Tuam, Cloyne, Monaghan, Enniskillen, Strabane; and that similar associations are about being formed in other dioceses and districts.

The following are the questions proposed by the clergymen who inspect the schools:-1. What is is the name of the teacher ?-2. What is the number on the roll, of males ?...and of females ?-3. Average number last quarter in attendance ?...males...females ?-4. How many in the school on the day of inspection ?... males...females?-5. How many are learning the alphabet ?-6. How many are learning to spell ?-7. How many can read fluently?-8. How many are reading the holy scriptures?-9. Are the holy scriptures read daily in the school ?-10. Are the holy scriptures committed to memory? -11. Specify the portions of scripture which each class has learned to repeat off book, since the last inspection?-12. Do the children understand the meaning of what they have been taught?-13. How many can write?-14. How many are learning arithmetic ?-15. How many are in or beyond the rule of three ?-16. Are any taught book-keeping ?-17. Are the protestant children taught the church catechism?-18. Do the children attend a Sunday school?-19. Do the protestant children and teacher regularly attend public worship ?-20. Is the roll of the attendance of the children at school regularly kept?-21. Are the patrons of the school pleased with the conduct of the teacher ?-

22. Is the school-house in good repair, and are the children kept clean ?

"The Editor is requested to observe, in consequence of Mr. Baden Powell's letter to the 'John Bull' newspaper, that the author of Tracts for the Times,' No. 45, &c., does hold" the Lord's day to be of divine obligation, and does consider it binding on Christians by virtue of the Scripture notices concerning it; that, so far from the denial of that observance' being 'precisely one of the tenets' held by the author of those Tracts, the author considers it a sin against scripture, in any Christian, to deny it."

The republication of "Fox's Martyrs," by Messrs. Seeley, is designedly cheap. It is, in fact, only to cost 10s. 6d. a volume, and this is, beyond all doubt, as reasonable as possible. But there will be eight volumes, and thus the book will cost four guineas, and, if bound, (at 38. 6d. a volume,) will come to 57. 12s. This is about the price of good copies of the old edition. Now, surely this is answer enough to the charges and insinuations made against the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge for not undertaking the work. It was not abandonment of protestantism, but common prudence, which dictated to that society this abstinence from a course so wholly unprecedented. Now the Religious Tract Society often publishes large books; but that society does not undertake Fox. Why does none of the abuse lavished on the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge fail on the Religious Tract Society? The truth is, that only a spirited publisher, by making a strong appeal to the public, can make so great a work answer. Messrs. Seeley's price is, unquestionably, a very reasonable one, and all success is wished to their undertaking.

The Editor is exceedingly anxious to call attention at once to a most beautiful and interesting volume just published by Mr. Murray, being a translation and improvement of Count Laborde, the younger's, "Journey through Arabia Petræa to Mount Sinai, and the excavated City of Petra." The beauty and interest of the engravings, illustrating so many places mentioned in Holy Writ, deserve notice; and there appears to be very much directly tending to illustrate prophecy. It has appeared so late in the month, that there is no time for a fuller notice.

In answer to a truly excellent letter from a lady, inquiring in what way she could best give her aid towards supplying the spiritual wants of the population, the Editor (entirely agreeing in every word of her letter) would beg to suggest the forthcoming subscription, under the auspices of the Bishop of London, for the supply of this great (and, in many parts, almost heathen) metropolis with churches and ministers."

"A's" letter is, in every respect, just and true; but would "A" consider whether the freaks and ill conduct of an individual—amounting, if not to unsoundness, at least to something not far from it—are of any consequence; and whether his very just and powerful reasoning does not apply to a very large body who are doing the real mischief?

The Editor has heard of no such proposal as that mentioned by "L. X." It has, at all events, not appeared in any substantive form; but if, in an episcopal church, the system of distrusting bishops begin, what is to become of that church? No possible mode of appointment can be devised which will not be open to strong objection. That election produces the worst effects (let any one who really knows the condition of things in the Romanist election of bishops in Ireland give his opinion on the point) no one can doubt. We must submit to evils in nominations of all kinds; and we must have reliance enough on God's blessing on the mode of government sanctioned by his word to believe that that blessing will outweigh contingent evils.

The suggestion in "W. B. H.'s" letter is most important and valuable. But, for reasons which will readily occur to him on consideration, it will be better to say nothing in any quarter for the next two months. The few months which follow will be the time to act on it, if the means of doing so are left. The public notice of them, at present, will ensure their being taken away. When his letter is published, he will perhaps allow a different signature to be given to it, which, after this notice, will be better.

With every possible wish to attend to the gentleman who complains of what is said as to Mr. Coneybeare, and with the most sincere and unfeigned respect for that gentleman, who is so well entitled to it, the Editor cannot retract anything said as to 1 Tim. iii. 16, except that it should have been more distinctly stated exactly what the MS. authority for Mr. Coneybeare's view is. But it was taken for granted, that, in a passage so much discussed, that was fully known. What was meant was this, that although a few good MSS. favour Mr. Coneybeare, a very few do so, and that the large mass of MSS. are against it. As to admitting Griesbach's authority as supreme, the Editor begs to decline altogether a compliance with his correspondent's wish to do so. Any common book would tell the gentleman who has made these remarks, both what Griesbach's views were, and how entirely his verdict on this passage, has been disputed by subsequent critics.

Circumstances, of no public interest, have so occupied time, that many correspondents will, it is hoped, excuse their letters not being formally acknowledged till the next Number.
