Relying on your kindness I have not had those communications with you previous to the day of election which I should have had, if your flattering reception of me in July last had not encouraged me to suppose you neither wished for, nor required them. But you may rest assured that my feelings of respect for you are undiminished, and my anxiety faithfully to discharge the duties of the honourable position in which I am placed by you is unabated. In- deed, I hope my conduct will show you how deeply I appreciate your favour, and how desirous I am to evince my gratitude to you for renewing, for the thirteenth time, my honourable and grati- fying connection with the County of Monmouth. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient humble Servant, Granville Charles H. Somerset Monmouth, Sep. 24th, 1841. i ;f; .cr: r ..=- TAFF VALE RAILWAY. QUARTER SHARES.

"I" Ml'— II ISSFEUIAIi jPAHILXABSENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS. FRIDAY. Tne CHANCFLLon of the EXCHEQUER post. poned the Committee of Ways and Means tillllIonday next. After some routine business, the bill providing a retired annuity to th VIce-Chancellor drew forth some observations from Col. SiMhorp. Mr. Ev art, and Mr. Wa'dcy. who considered the amount proposed to be too large. Sir ft. 1 eel and Sir John Easthopc de. fended the amount. A division took place, on Mr. Ewart's motion, that the amount be reduced from L3,500 to £ 3,000, when it was lost by 150 to 36. The Administration of Justice "Bill went through Committee, after a desultory discussion, and a division on an amendment moved by Mr. Ward, the effcct of which would have hern to deprive Mr. Scarlett of the compensation proposed to be. given, when there appeared for the clause 140, against it 81-majority 50. The remaining clauses of the bill were then disposed of. and the report was ordered to be received on Monday. The Koyal Gardens Bill and the Frogmore Lodge Bill were then passed. On the motion of gointr into a committee of sunply. Mr. P. M. STEWART rose to call attention to a petition which he had pregpill8d on the 21st September last. from the provost, magjstratrs, and town council of Paisley, on the present distressed condition of the man- ufacturers of the county of Kcnfrew. He read somp, statements respecting the appalling distress existing in Paisley and its which, one of the writers said. was a disgrace to a Christian country. The silent system pursued Ly the Government, with the single exception of Sir R. Peel, was not likely to satisfy the the country. After some observations from Alr. ill. Gibson and Mr. Parker, Sir H. PEEL said that the plan he intended to pursue, was to ask the house to cive him a short time to preDare his measures for repairing the enormous financial em- barrsssments of the country A general election had taken place under the ausp'.ces of the late Government and before that election he had declared that he had no intention of bringing forward a neneral financial scheme. The country had, notwithstanding, decidcd against the late ministry and since his acceptance of of.ice, nearly thirty members of the government ha,1 been returned without opposition, nith the r',ccptirn of itic very for- midable opposition of V r. A eland. He had not expected that Air. Stewart had intended to raise a discussion; and certainly the series of very bad jokes in his speech, was not in harmony with that sympathy with the suffer- ings of his constituents which was to be expected. He admitted the existing distress tut it was of impor- tance that they should not be driven into hasty letdsla- tion in providing a remedy. The Manchester Chamber of Commerce had formerly attributed the distress to the misconduct of the Bank of Knglano and the lavish accommodation of joint-stock banks, which had stiinu- lated over-productjpn, but now they attributed it to the Corn Laws. While admitting the existence of distress, he did not despair of returning improvement and he produced the returns of the savinas hanks, showing an increase in the United Kingdom during June ami August of the present ycar, as a proof of his assertion. ° Mr. M. Phillips, Mr. Ewart, Mr. Walker, and Sn J. Fasthope, 'then joined in the d< bate, and after some remarks from Mr. Villicrs and Mr, C'obden, the House was addressed by Captain Carm-gie, Air. Thorneley. Mr. Brotherton, Mr. Aglionhy, and Captain t'itzrov, who contended that the opposition was uselessly wasting time by prolonging the discussion when no motion had been submitted. The House then well, into a Committee of Supply, and on the notion of Captain Boldero, the supplemen- tary Ordnance Estimates were vo o: Sir C NAPf 'R pressed on Sir n Peel the propriety of having a naval officer on the Board of Ordnance and considerable amusement was created bv the discussion in which Sir ft. Peel, Sir J. Graham. Sir H. Hardincc' Lord Palmevston. and other members, took part; and some striking statements were made by Sir C Napier and others as to the condition of the arms supplied to the navy. The votes having passed the Committee, the Speaker resumed the chair, and the repurt was ord red to be received on Monday n,!m, The Poor Law Commission Bid was postponed to the same day. MONDAY. Lord GIUNVRLE SOM !CKS;t, r.«rd K!iot, and SirU. Rae.took the oaths and ti.eir seats on their re- election,respectively,for ijijn.nouthshirc, Cornwall, Ino Bine; and Mr Tuile the ont s aud Ins scat as Member for ill county of tn" h O the, motion of (he Cil^V 0f t'<» E 'v CR. Q'-KR tr. House then «,nt into cmr-mi-ec of wavs •<nd mrao« ar..J th*- j{i.t n. (i, his I. m an iai state.:>■ r.t I" said that the supplies ,oted amonsited to-.fl .727.432 that fl.e sum r,'qliircd for the payment, of in crest on outstanding Kxclrqmr fulls was- £ 710.000 making a total of £ 2 4«7,4:,2 to be now for. 'll.i, ttllid, as nearly he, with the deficiency an'iripatcd by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, when be calculated the income for the y,,ar at £ 4^,3*0,000 and the exnendituic at xoO,7dl. 000 With a view to meet the deficit thus arising Mr Gonll.urn said he had issued the notice of which the ilousn w as aware, for tite purpose of raising £ 2,500.000 in money and I iz I, te n i the unfunded debt to the same extent. It was trnr that the amount of unfunded debt now was only E-21 (XO.f)()o while at no very distant period it had been hut the necessity for reduction did not alone depend on the numerical amount but on many other circumstances. Thus at the present moment, a larjer interest was allowed by hanks than could be procured on Exchequer bills, and the charge in the Usury Laws hnd occasioned the employment of modi capital in discounts that had fonueily been invested in unfunded Government securities The first object of the Right Hon. Gent, therefore, had been to diminish the unfunded debt; n: d in this he hud heen successful. The amount subscribed was about f3,5,10 000 and though it was impossible in this stage of th.. proecedinus to pronounce how much of this was in Exchequer bills, and how much in monev, the unfunded debt was very considerably lightened, and there oniy remained £ 1,700 000 — for in no case could it exceed that am"lInt-to he nos provided for. He proposed to make up the sum in question by the sa!e of Exchequer bills or of stock, so as t., carrv it to effect his. orifinatpianuf withdrawing £ 2,500.000 of Exchequer bills from circulation, and realising [2,500.000 in monev The Hight lion. Gent, admitt d that this mode of providing for a deficiency was one that he could n.,t have approved of nndei ordinary circumstances, and that ought not to he drawn into a precp-dent; hot to equalise the revenue with the expenditure by means of the legitimate method of taxation would have involved the necessi'y of such a minute and careful revision of our whole financial system, as would be perfectly impractica- ble to a Government only a few weeks in possession of office. It was for this reason he had been compelled to resort tu the present plan and in accordance with it, he should not now propose the imposition of any new tax(-s. B. fore he could be prepared to a,1\; the house to consent to a measure of taxation, he required time for ravc and mature consideration, and the recess would afford him an opportunity for giving nis deep attention to the subject, lie hoped m the next session of Par1.allle..t. to bring the whole matter forward in a detailed form, with a proposition for permanently r storing the equality between revenue aiidexpeiiditiire. The Right Hon Gent, concluded by moving resolutions embodying the statement here given and after a pro- tracted discussion, the resolutions were agreed to, and tbe House resumed. It was then moved that the House should go into committee on the loor Law Commission Continuance Bill. Mr H. R. YOHKE moved an instruction to the com- mittee to prevent the tuturesrpara ion of 10811 from wife. On this a debate arose which lasted through the remainder of the sitting. At lengt+i a division took place, and Mr Yorke's amendment was negatived by le7 to 36. The Bill went into committee pro forma, and was ordered for re co,inittal. TUESDAY. On the order of the day being read for going into C°^vrIn'VPe °n l^c ^'oor Eaw Continuance Bill. MrCR\WFOR[) moved that it be an instruction to lhe committee to insert the following clauses; 1. That it shallllot belaufu; for the commissioners, from the date of the passing of this bill, to declare the formation of any new unions in districts which are not already placed under the operation of the Act 4 and 5 William IV. c. 76. "2. I hat it shall not be lawful for the commissioners r. tl) disallow by auy general or other order, any payments which shall be made by the authority of a board of guardians for the relief of any poor persons or their families out of the workhouses, notwithstanding any poweis given to them by the said recited act of 4 and 5 Wm. 4. to the contrary." [Lt:ft silting.j On a division the first c.ause of Mr Crawford's motion was lost by 143 to 2). After some dj3ClJssi,m the IJonso divided on the second clause, and Mr Crawfoid was again defeated by 145 lo 32. THURSDAY. The proceedings of the House of Commons did not occupy one hour, an(I no business of public interest was transacted.

THE YVESLEYAN CONFERENCE. The following resolutions appear in the "Minutes of Conference" for the present year:— "LAW OF MAKlllAGE. "Q. 28. What is the judgment of the Conference as to the duty of members of our societies in re- ference to the present law of marriage 1 A. 1. That, in unison with the general ktrerm of authorities, in both the. Jewish aiitt iiristi;incliurclies, the < celesinstica la w of this country, ever since the epoch of the Reformation, has affirmed the degrees of cmis liiK'uiuity and affinity, within tho limits of which the Divino Lawgiver has prohibited marriage, to be such as are expressed or implied in tho 1 Stli chapter of Leviticus; and that, tnercfore, such marriages alone 'are Godly and agreeable to the laws' which are contracted between persons not included in those prohibitions. "2. That, fioln tho same auspicious period to the year 1835, the civil or political law of England has adopted the ecclesiastical %iow which is before stated concerning marriage, by regarding all marriages within such prohibited degress as voidable by the ecclesiastical courts on proper process, commenced during the lives of the contacting parties; and since the year 1835, by pronouncing all such marriages actnallr void, without the interposition of any legal process whatsoever. 3 That, on the great New Testament principle of submission to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, tho Conference is solemnly of opinion that the members of our societies aro bound by the law of Cluist to con.'oiii) themselves in al) arrangements concerning marriage to tho institutions of their country and especially because, in the very form of their enaotu.ent, there is a national recognition of the authority of the Divine will, as made known to mankind in the llolv Scriptures. "4. The Conference, moreover, deems itself now called upon to declare, that it is by no means comely, nor of good report, for members of our societies to repair to certain parts of the United Kingdom, or to foreign eountric*. in the hope of there finding facilities for contracting mar. iages within the prohibited degrees, aed without any intention of fixing their permanent residence in those countries,"

1 APPLICATION OF HOT-BLAST IN SMELT- ING. To the Editor of the Mining Journal. s,R.riie introduction of "hot-blast" to the manufacture of iron is so important, that every peculiar feature in its use becomes iuf resting there- fore, although tho follow ing property in atmospheric nii- is fimiliar to most men, its application to smelt- ins; purposes may f-iiriy be made tho subject of con- sideration. Air increases in volume as its tempera- ture is raiseel-ils progressive rate of expansion is nearly uniform for equal increments of heat, and the law which governs this increase is, that gases expand -I-tti of the bulk they had at the freezing point for hu every degree of Fahrenheit; it has also been as- certaiiifd that the constituents, as regards volume, are that one cubic inch of oxygen, mixed with four cubic inches of nitrogen, will represent the proportions of any part of flic surrounding atmosphere by atomic weight, tho relative proportions are nearly three and a ha If nitrogen to one of oxygen. Now, as combus- tion goes on accordingly, as a greater or lesser quantity of oxygen is admitted into the furnace, it will follow that, where cold air is used, the, maximum quantity of this elementary body is duly sent in, because the chemical proportions being known, the quantum of oxygen consumed can always be ascertained by cal- culating thedimensions of the cylillder and the number of strokes made per minute; but where hot-blast is employed the temperature of the prepared air is liable to variation, and, as a matter of course, the important constituent of the atmosphero, above- described, will vary with it. Thus, if the heat which the air receives from the stoves is only 480 deg. Fahrenheit, it is clear that, at this temperature, it would exactly double its volume if uriconfined under such cir nmstanccs, a cubic foot would yield an amount of oxygen equal only to one. half the quantity contained inn foot of cold air. 1 he remedy for this is to confine, or condense, the hot air, and so admit it into the furnace, at what is termed a strong pillar of blast; and, in order to effect this, the motive power and blast apparatus must all be off sufficient capacity. If no other advantage arises from a proper application of the natural law, herein described, than that of care- fullv suiting tho machinery to the duty to be performed, it will be no iuconsidurablo benefit to those who embark in the manufacture of iron. It is ti ue that, whether with hot or with cold air. tho ox} gen forcrd in CHI always be calculated, because the delivery of blast from the cylinder must pass throuht Iho regulator into the heating stoves, and thence into-thc furnace, so that the absolute quantity can bo easily ascertained but as it is an object, in working with hot blast, to arrive at a temperature much above 480 dcg-sny, 591, deg. the melting point of lead, which is, in fact, tho test made use of, it becomes necessary, in a high degree, to ascertain, by calculation, the equivalent pillar or extra pressure which will be required for every given increment of temp'Talure—so that the dose of oxygen, which proper combustion demands, shall, by such increased pressure, be fairly supplied to the furnace. That this is of importance cannot be matter of doubt, when we know that, if tho temperature of the hot air be (JOO deg. (and it is often liigln r), it would, if not subjected to restraint, increase its bulk in the pro- portion as two and a quarter is to one. Fortunately, for easy calculation, the law holds good that tho dilatation, previously referred to, is uniform, both at very aud very low temperatures, so that great exactitude may bo arrived at. It may be objected to all these observations, that their application to smelting purposes can be no use to the iron master; but I ;1111 satisfied that if science soes hand in hand witli m ouilacfure, the latter must Ip benefited. It has b • •en (oLInd m the reduction of Welsh ores I with anthracite (to which this letter may heconsiderfd principally to rcfei ), that but littlf good can be done under a pillar of blast equal to 2i lbs. in fact, fill greater the f>r<>s«uro and higher tne temperature 01 the hot. air, tho more will (Ins otherwise intractable fuel be made to the reduction of the ores as-ociafed with it; indeed, bv the aid of "hot-blast," stone coal wiil smelt any description of iron in,n,- w.'iatever—it i«-liters not lean or how rich- whi tuir a HUM" or a mine, as [lip. local phrase m>8-—this remarkable fuel will reduce th-, m all.

NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. The report of the Odd Fellows' Meeting at Lan- harran arrived too late for insertion this week, as did also the Brecon gaol commitments. The report of lI-Ir. Stephen's Lecture at Newport is unavoidably postponed until our next impres- sion. The proceedings of the Town Council Meeting at Swansea must also stand over. We must press on our Correspondents the necessity of sending their communications earlier in the iveek —the mass of intelligence which reaches us on Friday precludes our inserting one-half of what, if sent before, would be available. We have received an interesting notice of Kirtling, which shall appear next week. A Correspondent—(Newcastle Enilyn)-itext week. We shall be glad to hear again from ourillcdical Corrcsponden t. E. G.-C,-trdifT- The Linns shall appear in our next. Gruffydd is thanked. He will see that ive were pro- vided with a Report of the proceedings. Canibrensis.- The poetry, or rather doggrcl sent us is unfit for publication. Let Ollr Correspondent leave tty? off verse making—the specimen submitted to our notice convinces us that he will never attain fiLlne in that line. Several names of persons and places were tcrongly spelt in our last. We will endeavour to prevent such errors in future.

THE Members of Sir Robert Peel's Administra- tion whose seats were vacated by the acceptance of office, have been all triumphantly re-elected— a proof, if proof were wanting, that the fate of the Whigs is deliberately sealed. Not one of this party was found to shew his face in opposition, were it only for the purpose of defending the measures of the ousted Cabinet. They have one and all maintained a decorous silence—have abandoned the field—and gorged with ten years of place and salary, have retired probably like Bruin to h)-bernate on their fat. The office of annoying the Treasury Benches and interrupting public business appears for the present to be delegated to the smallest of the small sect of the Radicals, and these gentlemen proceed much after the fashion of the mannikins of Lilliput, sticking pins and, needles into the Minister's breeches. Their ohject seems to be irritatioji, and how small an insect may produce this result on a sensitive cuticle, most of our readers who have felt the bite of a midge can determine for themselves. But the patience of Sir Robert Peel is inexhaustible— an occasional fillip to one-the slight pressure of a finger upon another-the suicidal singemg of a third—and the whole insect tribe is disposed of without the slightest loss of temper, or the dis- composure of a single muscle. He will not waste a thought on things so contemptible, and to dis- charge artillery at flies, or to break butterflies on the wheel, is but a waste of powder and a profit- less expenditure of strength. Whatever be the name in which these painted children of dirt" delight, they may be suffered to fulfil their several vocations, and to live out their ephemeral existence, whether as the sacred beetle represented by Dr. Bowring, or the gadfly by Mr. Roebuck, the wasp by Mr. Ewart, and the musca domestica by Mr. Williams, they will be all pickled or impaled for the use of the scientific entomologist. But seriously there is something inexpressibly disgusting in the obstructing movements of opposition, and did we not know that civil strife is their gain, and faction their proper element, we might also feel surprise. But in their petty war- fare every weapon is legitimate. They gloat with fiendish exultation in every symptom of national distress as furnishing the means of annoyance. Their sympathy is like that of Judas,—not that they care for the poor, but that they carry the bag of discontent. Their spirits rise and fall with the barometer, and the prospect of a deficient harvest is a delight. A scarcity of employment —a severe winter-and high prices—these are the political levers by which Sir Robert Peel is to be moved from the Treasury Bench. Of the existence of great distress in the manufacturing districts we do not express a doubt, but that the statements are grossly exaggerated we also be- r lieve. The sources of this distress were traced by Lord Stanley in his admirable speech to his constituents—and we commend the following extract to the serious attention of our readers "Gentlemen, I will tell you frankly to what I at- tribute the present great distress. Are we told that the exports on manufactures are diminished or not! 1 know that Mr. Acland will not tell you that our exports have diminished. I know that Mr. Aeland will tell you that from 1831 to 1840 the exports of our cotton manufactures have nearly if not quite doubled. An enormous extension and an immense increase of our goods has been taken -up by the markets of the world. And now, permit me to ob- serve to you, that from 1831 down to 1841 these same Corn-laws have existed, and that throughout all the fluctuations of manufacturing and commercial prosperity, these same Corn-laws, without alteration and exception, have been in operation and if the distress now felt be attributable to the Corn-laws, I ask you why that distress has not been uniformly and systematically felt from 1831 to 1811?—(ITear, hear.) Has that been the case ? On the contrary, it is notorious to all that 1834, 1835, and 183i, were years of great, and I would venture to say, of extra- vagant manufacturing prosperity. And what was the result of that great prosperity < In 1830, the Ponr-law Commissioners published an account that at that moment there was in Manchester and its neighbourhood so great a demand for labour that, in addition to all the manufactories then existing, there were then in progress of construction mills and machinery to thj value of £ 3,000,000 sterling and that in the course of the following year there would be a demand for no less than 8,000 additional hands in the district surrounding Manchester alone, There was on this demand a vast number of additional hands invited to come into the town of Manchester. Labour was abunùallt-prosperity was supposed to -p- have no end, manufacturing exports were increased with a rapidty unknown and unheard of before the markets of the world were glutted with our produce, which we were compelled to sell at very low prices, in consequence not merely of the competition of foreigners, but in consequence of the most unwise competition which existed between ourselves. To add to this mischief, the joint-stock banks and the country banks gave large and unusual facilities in the way of discount. A large and fictitious capital was advanced to manufacturing speculators of no capital, who were thus tempted by the facility of ob- taining credit, to enter into the race of competition with men of real capital. This increased the demand for manufacturing labour but the fever passed away, ruining a large proportion of those who in- dulged in these speculations, and dragging with them also, in their fall, a great proportion of those manu- facturing labourers whom they had called into em- ployment, but whom they subsequently, from their ruinous over-trade, were compelled to discharge and throw on their own resources." Now, here on my conscience, and in the face of the country, I declare I believe the great source of the distress now prevailing exists. You have glutted every market of the world with your goods you have run a ruinous race of competition with others, through which you have diminished and lowered your profits almost to nothing you begin now to find that you have embarked your capital in ruinous speculation you begin to work short hoiirs, then to close your mills and the result of this is not only the loss of your own capitaf, but the throwing out of daily employment, and the means of earning a livelihood, thousands of persons who swarm the mar- ket for labour, and who are thereby also compelled to enter into ruinous competition, and to work for wages inadequate to maintain life, health, and com- fort—such as the labouring classes ought to enjoy."

If England would avoid the recurrence of the dangers from which she has so narrowly escaped she must examine well the causes which have led to them. The springs of her intestine divisions must be traced, the sources of her civil discon- tents must be examined, and the malady by which the body politic has been inflamed must be as- certained. That the Institutions of the country have been placed in imminent peril, and that such peril may be attributed to the neglect of successive Governments we hesitate not to affirm. The origin of the evil has been the culpable omission of providing for a rapidly increasing population the means of a sound religious educa- tion, and failing to secure a due supply for their moral and spiritual wants. But whilst we assert this we are bound t9 admit, that as our national welfare was endangsred by the absence of sound principles in the many, so was it mainly to be attributed to the healthful and vigorous Christi- anity of the middle classes, that the progress of the revolutionary movement was arrested. We charge however upon the legislature, whether the Government were Whig or Tory, the negligence of which we complain. There was, it is true, a vast difference in the degree of culpability mani- fested by the several Administrations. That of Lord Liverpool roused itself to action, and a large sum was voted for Church extension; whilst the principle of the Whig Government was, not merely indifference but positive resistance,—not only refusal but confiscation. This gross and irreligious proceeding was however overruled for good, and the duty which the state neglected, private benevolence and personal piety in some measure performed. Still to the neglect of sound Education as a national work, and to Church extension as a national duty, in the early part of the nineteenth century, much of the mischief that has threatened us must be traced. Truth is dearer than party, and Truth demands the grateful ac- knowledgment, that but for the activity of the Dissenters in partly supplying the deficiencies of pastoral superintendence, the heathenism of vast districts would have been the result. We ought never to forget, that widely spread Dissent is an evidence of some dcfect in our own Church administration, and involves a heavy blame upon our neglect. This in all honesty we are bound to concede. It is beyond all controversy the duty of a Christian Legislature to provide with parental care and anxiety the means for sustaining the religious improvement of a community commit- ted to its charge. The responsibility of such supply is with the Government, the responsibility of the acceptance lies with tl e people. They may accept or reject—they may cultivate or neglect the blessing offered,-but the first great duty of the Legislature i3 to attempt the advancement of religious truth, by spiritual culture, whether they will hear or whether they will forbear. If the Deity has reckonings with men in their national I capacity, then religion must be a national con- cern, and that education which attempts to erect I the social edifice independently of this great prin- ciple, will be surely confounded its Babel experi- I ment, if it be not crushed in the ruins. WTiat man has attempted to be and to do without God, History if it be not an old almanack" or an old wives' fable" is pregnant with warning and example. Such a nation may shine awhile in arts and arms-it may dazzle men's eyes with secular aggrandisement, but the principle of vitality it has not-it is neither at unity with itself, nor has it a foundation on which to stand. But whilst the religious instruction of a people should be the especial care of a Government, the obligations of individuals are in no degree lessened. Wherever a population has been gathered, whether to administer to our ease and comfort, or to in" crease our wealth, there is a moral and equitable demand upon us for a spiritual provision for those we employ. The duty cannot be evaded by any plea that will avail before him to whom all are accountable. A Church, a Pastor, and a School we are bound to"supply, as we would avoid the guilt of trafficking with immortal souls. There is but little probability we fear of the immediate attention of Government being di- rected to this important subject, and still less chance in the present delapidated state of our public finances of a Parliamentary grant for sort10 time to come. It remains then to be considered | of the Church by a better and more equal distr" bution of her revenues, assisted by the offering of her children, does not possess the means 0 meeting in some degree the difficulty by wbi^ we are embarrassed. A most valuable pamph^ has recently issued from the pen of the Rev. » Palmer, the learned author of "Church HistorY" f and to this and the equally practical Treatise of the Rev. W. Wilberforce, on the Paroefri System," we will speedily draw the attention of our readers. j

Upon reference to our Report of the Revis^ Court held at Merthyr, our readers will obs^r the importance of the establishment of a servative Society foy this County. It appe' that out of 143 County objections, of which Prgf9 of service was established, no less than 73 itl expunged, which shews fully how votes vV°^f be thrust upon the Register at Dowlais, but^. the activity of the Agents of the Society, i leads us again to call upon every individual jjt servative to add to the Register, and thus £ {t our enemy with their own weapons. We ^gli that the Dowlais Votes alluded to in our are nothing less than faggots, and if the Re?1^ is annually to be loaded with the name of eN{ jt new labourer in the employ of Sir J. J. Gue & certainly behoves the Conservatives to vote in every instance where it can be poS effected. I
