Mertbyr Guardian Newspaper, DUKE-STREET, CARDIFF, BEGS most respectfully to inform his Friends and JD the Public generally, of the Counties of Glamorgan, Monmouth, and Brecon, that, with a view of rendering his paper a medium of furnishing copious and accurate Reports of all Public Meetings and Proceedings of in- terest that take place in the several Counties above named, together with a well condensed summary of Parliamen- tary, Metropolitan, Provincial, and Foreign Intelligence, he has enlarged the GUARDIAN to the present size and, upon comparison, it will be found one of the LARGEST PAPERS IN THE PRINCIPALITY. An extensive font, it will be perceived, of BEAUTIFUL NEW TYPE of the most modern description has been provided. H. W., therefore, confidently trusts that his efforts to make the CARDIFF AND MERTHYR GUARDIAN thus more worthy of general attention, will secure to it an iucreased share of public support. As an Advertising medium, the GUARDIAN possesses peculiar and powerful claims upon the attention of the Commercial and Literary Public, as it is the only paper advocating Conservative principles published for the Counties of Glamorgan and Brecon, and consequently is. most extensively circulated amongst the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, Professional Men, Merchants, and princi- pal Tradesmen of those Counties; whilst in the important County of Monmouth it enjoys a circulation of some hundreds weekly.

ENGINEERING EVIDENCE. Usually the most profitable part of the present railway mania consists in persons going before the committees of the House of Commons, to give what is called engineer- ing evidence. Engineers are consequently in very great request; and, while they are at their present tremendous premium, Punch has it in contemplation to take a few. pupils, and qualify them for giving their testimony at ten guiueas a day from each Committee before which they are examined. Punch undertakes to qualify any person to pass an examination in the following triumphant style, for a bonus of ta0 and a share in the profits of the evidence;- Q. Now, Sir, can you explain the engineering advan- tages of this line? A. I can. Q. Do so if you please in your own manner. A. It is obvious that if I take a mean isosceles triangle of three and a quarter, it gives a gradient of five to the square inch, and thus tunnelling will be avoided through at least one-half the line. ° Q. But how about the embankments ? I. Cl,t a square inch out of a rhomboid, and throw i on at right angles, it is clear that there can be no sup- port to the sides. If on the other hand, I establish a fulcrum on the surface of a spheroid plane, it is impossi- ble that the embankments can fall in and this, I take it, is the great advantage of the proposed line. The Chairman -Allow us to ask, Sir, whether you think a gradient of two will be sufficient? A.-Certainly I do. If I had a lever and a screw now in the room, I would undertake to show in five minutes that a patent axle working on a broad gauge and going consecutively in rotation after a double stuffing box would be of itself sufficient to do all that was required. his an9wer caused the greatest excitement in the L'i Lomnuttee-room, and strangers were at once ordered to withdraw that the Committee might deliberate. In 8 •»« J a ^uar^er °f an hour the public were re-ad- mi ted, and the Chairman said he had only one more question to ask of the last witness. It was simply this -Can it be possible for the broad gauge to wear out the cylinder of a single valve, without tearing off the siphon- cock from the main boiler 1 The witness, after making a few drawings in his note- hook, and a TeFereoee to a five foot rule, with which he measured the table in three different directions, answered diliberately, • and with great emphasis-Certaiuly not. f ,e V., Irifau immediately announced the preamble o ue Bill to be proved; and the rush to the door was so overwhelming that our reporter was carried into group Z, and thence into Palace-yard cab stand. Ex- presses were waiting for every part of the kingdom, and shares immediately went up to 75, at which everybody, refused to realise; but a flaw having been discovered, after every one had left the room, and before the Com- mittee had finally broken up, the Bill was subsequently, declared to be lost, and the shares fell to 2, with a down ward tendency—Punch.

v? J^SII.—On Sunday morning a ring was heard at the door ot a gentleman residing not many iniles from Redcliff-crescent,and who is well known for his "deter- mined vigour and zeal," and, on the servant answering the door, a respectably dressed and exceedingly pretty young woman handed in a basket, stating that it contained a pre- sent of fillh from a lady to Mr.—, and requested that it might not be left too long in the basket, as the warm wea- ther would not be likely to improve the flavour. Betty placed the welcome parcel in the hall, and was pursuing her household duties, when, to her great surprise, she saw the basket turned a complete somersault, and in a state of extreme excitement she rushed up stairs to inform her mistress of the lively present below. In less than no time the basket was in the drawing-room, and master and mistress both intent on examining its contents, the master 'nsI8t'I1ff it was no fish but a young puppy-dog which he had been kiudly promised by a political admirer—the lady prophesying several brace of fresh trout, or a good sal- mon from the Conservative Society. When, lo! on cutting the strings not salmon, trout, or puppy-dog appeared, but a charming infant of about three months, nicely diessed and with an extra supply ofbaby-linen for a change. The glance which passed between Mr.—and his lady on the discovery may be imagined but not described. Mrs.— bethought herself of a certain Mr. Lobskoi, who once said to to his wife J'™ going a fishing to-day, my life," and the recollection made her quite crabbed," whilst Mr.—swore by his soul (sole) that the present was alto- gether unexpected, and quite out of "plaice" in his hoube and he should send it to a certain public establishment, at Bedminster, where there was a Room" always ready or the reception gf such « email fTj,0ri9tvl Gatttte-

dforrigtt EntflUgmre. SPMN.—The Spanish Government have uecidod tliat they would publish no official reply to fie manifesto of the Prince of Asturia<, but they have dexpa-chei private instruction* to their agents to watch most caref dly life movements of the Carlist party. A meeting of deputies war held at the hou-ie of Scnor Pacheco on the 20th, to aiscusi the question of the Queen's marriage, when the parties present were unanimous in rejecting the pretentions to the hand cf her Majesty of the Count de Trappani and the. Prince of igtmias •, but it was unanimously agreed that the Queen ou;ht to be allowed to take the initiative in the matter. GRKHCE.—We have accounts from ithens which present in afflicting terms the state of disorder itto which Greece has been plunged. Coletti having succeeded in packing an assem- bly, now finds a rival in Metaxa, who jiosvs symptoms of an inclination to set up on his own acctunt and Balbi, the minister of justice, is said to have S'nt in his resignation on the ground that he can no longer tale part in the acts of such a cabinet. In the meantime Cole.tihas presented a law for the suppression of brigandage, the >assion for which has seized men of all ranks anil classes. KUSSlAV FROSTIEH8, JtlNE 7—The imperial ukase relative to the dress of the Jews is 3taed in an account from the Russian frontiers to have already produced some deplo- rable effects. These were, indeed, not intended by the Hin- peror, but were almost the inevitalle consequeucc of a measure, which so suddenly and violently interferes with thn most cherished habits of a people. In Bordiczew, a con- siderable commercial town in Nolhyna, where, as in many towns of Southern Russia, the Jews ftrm the Majority of the inhabi ants, some young Jews appearccin the synagogue with- out long locks of hair; the Chassdiin, a most fanaucal religions scct, prevailing chic-fly in liussia and Po'and, re- sembling in some respects the Shak;rs of North America, incensed at this violation of a sacred custom, fell furiously on the blasphemers, as they call them, threatening to tear them to pieces. All their representations, that they had only obeyed the commands of the Emperor, were unavailing. The Chassidiin exclaimed that the Emperor could not command them in a religious manner; that lie might be the god of the Jawanim (so the Jews call the Russians, as properly the Greeks), but he was not theirs; that they should rather suffer themselves to be alive than to submit to such wicked oiders. A dreadful tumult occurred, and two of the young men are said to have expired under the ill treatment of the Chassidiin. A strict investiyaiinn is set oil foot by the Go- vernor, and we are assured that fn'teeu of the Chassidiin have already been sent to Siberia. What has grieved these unhappy fanatics worse than all the rest is, that before setting out on their melancholy journey, they had to change their natural dress for that usually worn by the exiles to Siberia, and that their heads were shaved, their long locks being, of course, the first sacrifice. INDIA AND CHINA.—Bombay and Calcutta papers have been brought by the Overland Mail. Their dates are Bombay, the 20th of May, and Calcutta, May 7, with intelligence from China to the 20ih of March. The Victoria steamer, with the mail. arrived at Suez on the lltli ult., twenty-two days from Bombay, bringing thirty-two passengers.

AMERICAN ICE.For some time pit this novel importation has been in pretty general use in Glasgow. It is perfectly clear and transparent, being carefuly cut from large ponds prepared for the purpose, and kept free from all impurities. It is certainly a very striking instaice of the spirit o: enter- piise, that a regularly organised compiny should be established for the purpose of dealing in such aoinmodity.

HOUSE OF LORD.-MO.VDAY. The Royal assent was given today by commission to a number of public and private bills, iipwards of 80). Amongst them were the Maynooth College (11 the Creditor's Small Debts' bill; Wilts, Somerset, andWeyraouth Railway bill- Clifton Bridge bill; Taunton Gas bH &c., &c. The Banking (Scotland) bill passed the third reading, after a division in which the numheri were, Content 47, Non- Content 15 majority for third reaJing 32. The Charitable Trusts bill was read a third time and passed. RAILWAYS.—Lord Campbell ased the noble Earl at the head of the Board of Trade whether, according to the existing law, the practice of one nilway company purchasing other projected railways could le prevented, and if not whether it was the intention of Gcvernment to introduce any measure to put a stop to that prac<ce? The Earl of Dalhousie said, tlat no doubt could be enter- tained of the fact that projected lines of railway were bought up by existing companies, /s to the state of the existing law, the Board of Trade certainly had the power under the Act of le,U, to interlere in such transactions by sending a certificate of the fact of purchase to the law officers of the Crown, whose opinion wa-, that such purchases were not legal. Notices were accordingly given to the railway com- panies, who would have to meet the case against them. He believed the law was sufficient to reach them, but if not, the Government would make it a duty to put the law into such a state as to stop the abuses complained of. The house then adjourned. TCeiv.u. Several bills on the table were forwarded a stage, but no business of any peculiar interest was brought unuer'discus- sion. Their lordships adjourned early.

SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. Tt, E--DAV.—The Committee on the SotithWale-; Rail- way Bill, which had been referred back to them by the House of Commons, for the purpose of proceeding with the remaining clauses, in order that the Bill might be re- ported, assembled this morning at twelve o'clock, Mr. E. liuller in the chair. MR. COCKHURN took an objection to the clauses being proceeded with, and was about to state the grounds of his objection, when he was interrupted by The CHAIRMAN, who inquired whether, under the cir- cumstances of the case, the Learned Gentleman would peisist ill his opposition. Was he aware that the matter had been discussed in Parliament, and that the Bill had been referred back to them, to go through the clauses to enable them to report on itl MR. COCKBURN suggested that the clauses, if taken at all, should be gone through sub MO do. The great diffi- culty. as it appeared to him, was the crossing of the Severn, and it would be useless for the Committee to pro- ceed with the clauses, unless some plan should be sug- gested by which the Company could obviate that difficulty. The Committee must be satisfierl that the passage across the Severn could be properly arranged with the Admiralty, otherwise they would be precisely in the same position, as they were when they last left the Committee-room. lie was sure that if the sufficient powers could not be ob- tained, an insuperable bar would be presented to the further progress of the Bill. The Committee must feel that they could not proceed unless they were satisfied that the difficulty which was involved in the resolution they had come to on a previous occasion could be got over. The only way of resolving the difficulty was by referring the Bill to the Standing Orders Committee. The Bill had been before the Committee on the petition for the Bill, and he believed had also been referred to the Stand- ing Orders Committee, which was to meet to-day, and if any difficulty should arise on the standing orders, the entire scheme must be destroyed. He was aware it had been proposed that the passage of the Severn should be effected by means of a tunnel under the river, but no positive statement to that effect had been urged and even were the statement correct, before the Bill could be fur- ther proceeded with all the requirements of the standing oiders must be complied with, and it must also be made clear that the altered line in an engineering point could be propcrlv carried out. Mr. T.u. HOT, in reply, said it appeared to him that his Learned Friend had fallen into several errors in his state- ment. It was a serious mistake to suppose that the Committee were in the same position now as when they last left that room. The whole matter had been referred by the Committee to the House of Commons, and the House of Commons had decided in so distinct a manner that it could not be left to the suggestion of this or that individual as to what the course of the Committee should bf. The House of Commons had clearly called lInon the • oiiimittfce to proceed with tiie clause' the Bill, in older that it ini^'l'il br ¡ep"r("d to the House. He could not see how the ( oininittee could do otherwise, than pro- ceed with the d:lIl: 0, they would bp acting in coutra- vention to tlie express older of llie limine. The CHAIRMAN Slid tiiat. it was the opinion of the Committee that the clauses should be proceeded with. The 21st clause, which affected the passage of the Severn, must be postponed until the Bill had been before the Standing Orders' Committee. Mr. DANIEL wished to be heard, in pursuance of a notice of motion made on Thursday last, in the House of Commons, by Captain Berkeley, to the effect that the peti- tions of Mr. Cambridge, Mr. White, Mr. Cothers, and of the Corporation of Gloucester, against the line of the South Wales Railway, be referred to the Committee of Group P, and that the several petitioners be heard by counsel against the bill. He wished to know whether he was competent to be heard. After some conversation, The CHAIRMAN said it was the opinion of the Com- mittee that the Learned Counsel could be heard in opposition to the clauses relating to the passage of the railway across the Severn. The clauses of the Bill were then proceeded with. The 21st to the 27th clauses were postponed for con- sideration until to-morrow. The CHAIRMAN observed that he expected to-morrow morning all parties who had clauses to propose would be ready to proceed without delay, and they should in the interim mutually exchange clauses, so that no difficulty might be presented. At the close of the day's proceedings, Mr. DAVIS, who appeared for Sir T. C. Bovey and the Rev. Mr. Jones, complained that the overweening influence of the Great Western Company had deprived his clients of many ad- vantages to which they were justly entitled, and he strongly reprobated the course which had been adopted by the promoters of the Bill. The Committee then adjourned till twelve to-morrow. WEDNESDAY.—On the re-assembling of the Committee this morning at the usual hour, Mr. E. BULLER, the Chairman, announced that yes- terday the Standing Orders' Committee were unable to- form a quorum, and, in consequence, no business was transacted. According to the rules of the House, Mr. Escott was obliged to give notice, for leave to sit for a quorum of three. He had given that notice, and the sub- ject would be brought before the House to-night the Standing Orders' Committee could not, therefore, sit until to-morrow, and this Committee would adjourn till Friday, in order to have the report of the Standing Orders' Committee. 0 l\lr. D- UollJui 1: .1 tho onrporsition of Gloucester, requested the Committee to adjourn until beyond Friday, otherwise he would be perfectly unable to meet any new case that might in the interim be set up. He begged an adjourn- ment till Tuesday next. Sir T. PHILLIPS objected to any adjournment beyond Friday as unnecessary. To-morrow afternoon, at three o'clock, the decisiou 011 the standing orders would be known. GENERAL JOHNSON, M.P., refused to entertain the application. He had at great inconvenience to himself come a distance of one hundred miles to attend the Com- mittee yesterday, and next week he wanted to be four hundred miles away. There was no instance of a Bill in Committee at so advanced a period as July being passed during the session, and he certainly should not agree to adjourn the Committee till Tuesday next. The CHAIRMAN observed, if any case should arise re- quiring further delay, there would be sufficient time to consider the application, but under the present circum- stances the Committee had distinctly decided that they must adjourn till Friday. The Committee then adjourned.

ANOTHER MURDER IN TiPPI!RAIIY.k man named Kennedy was murdered on Thursday evening week when returning from the fair of Borrisokane, accom- panied by his wife. The ill-fated man's brother was murdered about four years ago, and a fellow named Shea was executed for the crime. It is said that Kennedy was killed in a fight which he had with some of his companions. I:> CAUTION TO WAGGONERS. — On Saturday evening se'nnight, as John Smith, a waggoner in the employ of Mr. C. Mapp, of Richards' Castle, in this county, was flogging one of his horses in the stable with a whip, the animal kicked him in the chest with both his legs. He crawled out of the stable into a bay; a surgeon was sent for, but his services were of no avail, for after lingering 23 hours in most agonizing pain, death terminated his sufferings. An inquest was held on Tuesday week, be- fore H. T. Fluck, Esq., deputy coroner, when a verdict of accidental death was returned.-HeTeford Journal. N::w RAILWAY SCHEMES.—The week's enumeration of new schemes embraces no fewer than 14. Amongst them may be mentioned the Birmingham and Oxford Junction, which proposes to connect the north with the west of England the Gloucester, Aberystwith, and Cen- tral Wales, with a capital of one million and a quarter; the great Sicilian, to skirt the north-west coast of Sicily the Bengal Great Western, 425 miles from Calcutta to the interior; the Carlow and Kilkenny the Manchester, Liverpool, and Great north of England the Auxerre a branch of the Paris and Lyons; the Bremen and Bre- menhafen, 40 miles from Bremen to the harbour of the. Weser; the British Guiana, for connecting Demerara Essequibo, and Berbice; the direct west of England, a broad gauge line from Reading and Newbtfry to Taunton The Birmingham Thame, and Buckingham the Bir- mingham, Warwick, and Daventry Junction the Swe- dish General; and the Regent's Canal line from Pad- dington to Limehonse. NIEDEK. SELTERS.—The Nieder Selters Spring has been the object of numerous researches both to chemists and naturalists. The igneous power 'of the earth are unquestionably employed in its production. To be con- vinced of the fact, one has only to examine the basin of the Emsbach and Taunus. The central fire of the earth has singularly influenced the configuration of the Taunian chain and adjoining country. All the springs which arise in the Taunus, and indeed, in the whole duchy of Nassau, are found, as in the Caucasus, to take their origin, in vol- canic formation, in a series of basaltic rocks, which are reft asunder, as it were, to afford them a clear passage. Germany, the cradle of Werner, Buch, Humboldt, and Leonard, contains not a single canton which remains un- explored by scientific devotees. The Taunian chain, particularly, has been the Theatre of many and profound explorations, which all demonstrate the presence of volcanic formations and mineral waters.—A short Essay on Sellers Waters. INGENIOUS TOBACCO SMUGGLING.—Monday a seizure of casks, which contained 2001bs. of cigars and cheroots, was made on board a vessel at Brewer's Quay, Lower Thames- street, London, by an officer named Kirgeman. The ves- sel had just arrived from Holland with a cargo of butter, cheese, and other goods, and seven beer casks, which were directed to Brewer's Wharf, to be left till called for, and were about to be landed as empty casks, in the usual manner, when the revenue officer, Kirgeman, took off the head of one of the casks, and it appeared at the hrst glance to be quite empty, but°na c|0^r inSpectio„ he found the barrel was lined with a tin case of the same shape as the barrel, and between that and the barrel itself the cigars and cheroots were concealed He then opened the other barrels, and found them lined with tin in the same manner, and a similar quantity of cigars and cheroots in each. He seized the casks and their contents, and rolled them to the Queen's warehouse at the same time giving information to the Board of Cus- toms, who ordered the vessel to be put under seizure also for the present. Each barrel contained about 301bs. of cigars and cheroots T:» are of the beit quality, and the duty upon them alone is JE90.

MuuDBH.^vnurder, startling even for Ireland, was perpetrate^ pnjay week, in the county of Cavan. Mr. George ,n looth, of Urumcarbin, near Crossdoney, was shot de 0 fcis return from church at mid-day.

The murderer got clear q4NIr. Booth is said to have been a gentleman of ejingly mild and courteous manners, of great good.Je an,l benevolence, very popular in the neigliboti, highly esteemed of the gentry in his own rank, gloved in his family circle." The only motive that caityScri{jed for this foul crime is, that Mr. Booth had ofy some of the lawless people of Cavan by acts in his matrial capacity. He is also said to have been the lea.dilrangeman in that quarter. The murder was witnessed^any, and a lady called to the bystanders to stop the dercr; but, of course, he who shot a man In Irelauls in no danger from the people. A contemporary t'ksthat this national trait, the readiness to harbour.rdercrs, has existed ever since it was pointed out b^ncer in the time of Eliza- beth there is no proof thi did not exist long before —in the boasted days of lj Boroihme. How deeply _it is fixed in the Irish ellier, appears from the fact that the most humane ROtelligent natives, such as Mr. O'Connell or Mr. grtO'Brien, do not appear to see anything peculiar in the murder is deprecated but the harbouring of theassin, the act most signifi- cant of evil, is passed oveunimportant if not venial: and murders in England mentioned by way of set- off,-as if there were IlOtillctiou between individual crime, where the inurdtls obliged to skulk like a hunted beast, and the ursal misprision of murder.

Are we then to dispair 0nendment ? By no means; although the remedy is so obvious as to be glibly re- commended in half a d' sentences.

Fust deliverU('gment in this case, the question in which carne be the Arches Court by virtue of let- ters of request fri/he Lord Bishop of London, under the provisions of toliurcii Discipline Act. There had been no defence and the Court had to take upon itself the duty o'nsidering the cases without having heard arguments P*rt of the defendant. The Rev. Mr. Oakeley, in fhad admitted that some offence had been committed him against the canons and laws ecclesiastical of Church of Rngland. The learned judge then statJle articles exhibited as set forth. The principal cle, against Mr. Oakeley was his pub- lished letter, adsed to the Bishop of London. He admitted most of Nicies exhibited against him. lie admitted that ii"9 he subscribed the Thirty nine Articles, that hè's a member of the Church of Eiig- lan(I, an(1 licenser the Bishop of London. He admitted that he Was the hor of the letter complained of, and that he resiùed ;he diocese of London, consequently that he was wit the jurisdiction of the Court. The admissions of however, he must observe, were extremelyarded ill language; neither did he admit that he hafended against the law ecclesiastical; therefore it woiie necessary to inquire how that alle- gation had been ved. At first there was a doubt whe- ther the doctrintPeach«d by Mr. Oakeley were repug- nant to the doctp of the Church of England, and the Court would haieen hiippy to have heard the argu- ments of counstfoii tfait point, but Mr. Oakeley had not thought projto instruct counsel or take any steps for his defence Mr- JOakeley declared himself in favour of the (rLnes 'of the Roman Church. The learned Judge a read, the letter addressed by Mr. Oakeley to the 6ulk of London, and commented upon its contents as Mr. Oakeley admitted that he was account tat'the bishop for his conduct, and, therefore the (rt to decide whether that conduct was against the cipWe and doetrines,of the Church of England, and b*S^lhe ReV- gentleman under ecclesi- astical censure. Mr"I'keley contended that he had a right to maintaitif -he-Wased,the whole of the doctrines of the Romish CJrdMVith that the Court had nothing to do. What iihad o decide was, whether the rev. gentleman had 3ted 3titrary to the tenor and spirit of the Thirty-nine Arties, to which he had voluntarily subscribed, and t the nons of the Church of England. The Court then rad a' referred at some length to va- rious paragraphs in t pamphlet of Mr. Oakeley, and concluded by saingtt was not necessary to travel through each anicle the Church of England. Upon almost all the Church Rome dilfered from that Church and as Mr. Oakeley reed with the former, he could not agree with the er. The Court could not think that the words of thirticles admitted that Catholic or Roman meaning whictr. Oakeley contended for. No man could entertain doubt that Mr. Oakeley was a professed Roman Catle; and the Court being satisfied of this, it had no hetion in saying that the promoter of the suit had provedi case, and that Mr. Oakeley was Liable to ecclesiastic-lensure. -What should be the amount of that censuir punishment the Court had now to consider. Mr. Oaly had professed doctrines utterly inconsistent with alfJpposed to the doctrines of the Church of Englandnd he had given no explana- tion-he had olfered justification for such conduct. If, then, in any caseirely in this case, the court must Pronounce a severe tence in order to prevent other Persons from falling ) those errors into which, in the opinion of the court,r. Oakeley had fallen. The sen- tence of the court, tkfore) would be that the license of Mr. Oakeley asnster of St. Margaret's chapel be revoked that he be permitted to perform ministerial duties in that chapeb in any other church or chapel within the diocese of,ntion, or within the province of Canterbury, until hllQuld declare his willingness to renounce, and shoulinQtjnce, his present heresies and errors. This sentenq to be published in St. Margaret's chapel on Sunday t, the 6th of July, and Mr, Oakeley must of cae be condemned in the costs of thwt frocçedwf8.

THK CARDIFF AID MERTHYR GUARDIAN. FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1845.. OUR readtrs will perceive, by the present number of the CARDIFF AND MEKTIIYK GL-AIIDIAX, that the Proprietor has carried into effect his intention of adding very considerably to the size of his paper, thereby making it one of the largest Newspapers published in-South Wales, and a most desirable medium for Advertisers. This Enlargement will enable us to give a greater extent and variety of Political and General information than we have hitherto given by reason of our limited space; and will, we trust, render our Journal worthy of the dis- tinguished patronage and support which we are proud to acknowledge has been aiforded us since its establishment.

tiLAilORii A;\MII«K <d» *RTi,K Our tomth contain?, j lull reporr oi tlie piocerdiiiu> of the magistrates on Monduy lust i.t tkr General Unai-ler Session* for this Cumnv. There were 'Ir twenty-one magistrates present, including the Vice- Chairman, Henry Thomas, Esq., who took the Chair in the unavoidable absence of the Right Honorable John Nicholl, M.P. The Finance Committee, in their report, notice one or two items in the accounts Of our County Prisons. Satisfactory explanations were instantly given by the respective Governors- Mr. Woods and Mr. Cox. At the last Sessions a conversation took place respecting the state of the Weights and Measures used in certain districts of the County, and the manner in which the Inspectors performed their duties the Finance Committee were requested to direct their attention to the subject. In their report, the Committee state that in accordance with the expressed wishes of the magistrates they made inquiry into the care and custody of the Weights and Measures belonging to, or lately used, by the County Inspectors, and found that those used by the Inspector of the Swansea district until this spring were the property of the Town Council of Swansea, who had declined allowing the further use of them out of the town of Swansea; consequently no inspec- tion has since taken place in the towns of Neath, Aberavon, and their respective neighbourhoods. In the Cardiff district," the Committee report, no inspection has taken place for some years." An inspector was appointed at the last Epiphany Quarter Sessions, but he has been unable to perform his duties, in consequence of the defective state of the Weights and Measures handed over to him by his predecessor." The Merthyr district is provided with a complete set of Weights and Measures; but the Committee could not ascertain when any inspection took place;—so that in the most populous and im- portant districts of this County,—in fact, with the exception of the town of Swansea, throughout the County, the duty of seeing that tradesmen use correct Weights and Measures is most inefficiently performed. The Report concludes by calling the attention of the magistrates to certain items paid by two of the County Coroners to medical witnesses, but which payments, although not made strictly in accordance with the letter of the law," are declared to have been requisite. Upon the motion of Mr. Thomas Edward Thomas, e items were unanimously allowed. A county rate *n ^le P°und was ordered. Captain Isapier s usual quarterly report was read by Mr. Dalton, from which it appeared, that within the three months ending on the 15th of June, 494 persons were summoned and apprehended, of which number 191 were cases of drunkenness-H a much greater pro- portion than has occurred in any previous quarter during the last three years;" and which Captain Napier attributes "to the increased rate of wages now given at the various works in the county, and to the rapidly increasing number of beer-shops." During the last quarter no less than 30 convictions took place against public-houses and beer-shops. It was stated in conversation, that the station-house at Bridgend smoked," which elicited an observation from the Vice-Chairman, that "the Swansea gentlemen were best calculated to deal with nuisances caused by smoke. Orders were passed for raising the various sums required for the maintenance of the police force. The rate for the Ogmore and Merthyr districts will be heavy this quarter, as, in consequence of the large ba- lance in hand, but in opposition to the wishes of the County I reasurer, no rate was made at the last Sessions for these districts. The rate-payers will, therefore, bear that circumstance in mind. The Vice-Chairmau drew the attention of the magistrates to the numerous accidents which, within the last two vears. hav. untortunately taken place at Eagles' Bush Colliery near Neath. It was unanimously agreed, that the Secretary of State should be requested to send a sur- veyor to the colliery for the purpose of making a minute examination of it, so that correct information may be obtained as to its actual state, and that the magistrates may be enabled to take ulterior pro. ceedings under Lord Ashley's Act, should the report render such a step advisable. The only notice given for next Sessions was by Mr. N. V. E. Vaughan- namdy, that in the event of the passing of the South Wales Railway Bill this Session, a communication he made to the Directors, expressing the wish of the County Magistrates that a sufficient additional Police 4 force should be employed along the line of road durinir the period of its construction;" and that the force be placed under the control of Captain Napier.
