It is the general opinion of these g-cntlcmen that nhould. r'-csiiem Polk even assume the tone that has been anticipated, in his message lo Congress, ueither branch of the legislature will support, him in it. and ail will end in bluster. It is stated that. ?dr.

We only remark 0.1 these statements & opinions that they proceed from parlies in the northern and eastern states, the most sensible and paciiie portion of the Union; that no doubt the prevailing sentiment in that part of the United States will be against the violent courses and quarrelsome spirit of the west; but that we cannot implicitly rely on their sentiments if t-he west and sou to, whicii have a prepon- derating influence in Congress, should resolutely urge an opposite course.—Leeds it!ercury.

Tile banker challenged the stranger 011 the spot, appointing time and place for the duel, an hour thence. ine other appeared to be much alarmed, but promised to be punctual, and dis- appeared.

IB LB MUKDEII IN CuFOBN.—lt aeoears that a woman named Bridget Barrett eonabited with a man of the name of Mannion, by whom she had a child. Ithaving lately come to her knowledge that he was about being married to another woman, sbj^jying aware of his mode of living, and some secretUpJnaecled, threatened to expose and prosecute nim if he did not marry her. In order to quiet her he held out some promise of marriage, and induced her to sell aco.v she had to pay the marriage expenses. He enjoined oil her -the most strict secrecy, stating that he had no money, and that his friends would be enraged with him if t.iey heard it. It was arranged that on a given night they would be married, and that they should go to the mainland on that evening from the isiand they lived on, Errislannen, a distance of a little more than half a mile, to Ronndstone, where the priest lived. Bridget Barrett, however. before going to the mainland, told her sister the particulars, enjoining her to kcepthenitttersecret. The sister, ho-,sever, did not do so, but told a male acquaintance of hers ait she heard, and he being curious to see them off, hid himself behind a rock on the snore, and plainly, saw Mamiion, with his brother-iu law, Thomas Cos grave, and Biidg-'t Barrett, enter a boat together, and push olf towards the Ul(¡ïilLlIJlI. ile remained there a considerable time aw.»i;in-f their return, but there werc theu ouly two men in the boat.

At a lat" hour Oll Wednesday week, accounts reached Dubiin of the occurrence on the Royal Canal of a calamity of the most deplorable nature, by which the lives ofvoy many of our fehow-rreatures were sacrificed. It is certain that sixteen individuals are already dead. The following facts may be rciiednpon, having been j communicated to us by an individual who arrived in j town ill the course of the night from the scene of tiie j tragedy. The night boat to Longford started on Tues- day ai the usual hour, two o'clock in the afternoon, I There were eight passengeis in the fore or principal j cabin, and considerably upwards of twenty in the after- cabin. On reaching the neighbourhood of Clonsilla, the ■ steersman went below to dine, and unhappily committed the rudder to a man who either knowing nothing ol the proper mode of steering, or not attending to the serious duty unfortunately and rashly committed to him, pei- miited the boat to run upon the bank of tiie canal, wnie.h caused her immediately to capsize, and speedily to idl with water. The fore-cabin passengers were saved, as that portion of the boat lay almost, out of the water, which is of course shallow at the bank the unhappy after-passengers, plunged into the deepest portion of the canal, cou!d not extricate themselves, and as no imme- diate H8Sls.lJilCe was at hand, many of them ha\e perished in the waters. At the time our corres- pondent leit Clonsilla, the bodies of sixteen ot tns drowned lay upon the banks, and the dra »-s were plying busily in search for more. An inquest was held on the following day, when it appeared irom the evidence that the regular steei er of tiie boat was a man named Keating, but he was not onboard, and his place was supplied by a cabin-boy, between eighteen and twenty years of age, named Dunne. Dunne, who had been in the habit ol steering this boat occasionally, went down to dinner, leaving the care of the vessel in the hands of Pat Teeling, a labourer, wno woiks on the banks of the canal. Teeling having occasion to go into the cabin, placed a buy (Campben) at he heLu, under whose unskillnl management, Teeiiu; said, the boat struck the banii but Campbell, in his evideuc■ said lhut- reeling 'an returned to the deck, that he (Campbell) had gilti) up to him the helm, and that the boat was under Teeling s charge when the accident oceutred. It was also slated that i'eeliug bad been drinking wiih two or three ..ion l" Alter the examination of several witnesses, 'ae jm'.v returned a veidict of manslaughter" against Teeling, and a deodand of </ne hundred pounds ou the boat, AVERSION TO CHANGE IN THE IUISH.—A clergyman in a neighbouring county to this offered a receipt in full to all his parishioners, whose tithes amounted to but eight shillings, on the condition that they should white- wash their houses. The cost of this whitewashing would have been about sixpence and yet but one man availed himseif of tiie offer. They all paid the whole debt in preference and this, doubtless, more from indolence than any other cause. Sir J. who applied him- self with great zeal to the improvement of his tenantry and their abodes, and who finally, notwithstanding all difficulties, succeeded in making them comfortable and orderly in spite of themselves, had his patience or(c:1 sorely tried in the beginning. One morning be was out. riding over his estate, when his attention was attracted bv a thick smoke in the distance. It was in the direction of a row of cottages which he had just finished rebuilding and putting into order. His first impression was that one of these must be on fire; and putting spurs to his horse he rode forward towards the place in some alarm. When the gentleman reached the cottages, he beheld a dense volume of smoke rolling slowly from out of the open door of one of them at a little distance was ils owner, quietly seated on a large stone, his arms folded, and apparently looking on at his smoking domicile with considerable satisfaction. What is the matter here 1" cried the landlord. Nothing in life, plase your honour nothing at all the matter or out of the way. You see they went and whitened the house upon me, Sir, inside and out: and what with the light, and the whiteness, and being always used since we were born to the place being black, we were nigh distracted. The eyes were sore and burnt out of us with looking round about at them staring walls. They'll be nice and black and wholesome now, your honour. I've lighted a heap of straw and potat 3 storks inside, and when the smoke clears away, by-and- by, 'twill do a body's heart good to see the fine colour that it wid leave behind. — Scenes on the Shores of the Atlantic. ANOTHER. MURDER IN Tiri'KRARY.—The Nuwgll (htardian contains the following account of another murder. The victim, a poor cripple, his offence taking laud 15 years ago, and not leaving when ordered by the conspirators who have so long afflicted the county of Tinperary. Here is th; gloomy tale:—" A poor man, named Molowney, in the parish of Drom, near Temple- more, took some land, which had been evicted, or in dispute, 15 years ago, and had been in possession of it ever since. The provincial executive sent some fellows about six months ago to give Molowney warning to quit. They then attacked him and drove him off his own laud. This warning not producing the desired effect, on last Sunday, the day generally selected for deeds of blood, fo 1r men, two of them armed, entered his house after dusk, and beat the unfortunate man to such an extent that his death ensued in about 24 hours after. Hu was a cripple, and could make no resistance." A luggage-train was run into, the other night, on the Great W estern Railway, at Box station, by an engine which was to have assisted it from behind up an incline. The night was dark and tempestuous; the lamps at the station had been blown out; and the train was of great length—forty trucks and two third-class carriages. The driver of the assistant engine saw the engine of the train pass, and heard its whistle and when he thought all the carriages were ahead, he moved on to the line, dashed into the broadside of the train eight or nine trucks from the end, and only one from a passenger-carriage! Part of the train was detached by the shock, and some of the other carriages were forced off the line. The passengers were greatly terrified, but none were hurt. MUNIFIGKNT Gin- TO GREENOCK.—It is with great pleasure that, we have to intimate the presentation of the most valuable donation ever given to Greenock by any individual. The late Sir Gabriel Wood, whose demis,, took place in London a few days ago, has given in charge of appointed executors the princely sum of £ 80,000, to be expended in the erection and maintenance of an hospital in Greenock for the reception of the aged, infirm, and disabled seamen of that port. This well- designed legacy to his feiiow-townsmen must convey the most gratifying news to many an old tai, whose shattered timbeis will now be safely moored in the harbour more c\1cerfLlI and commodious than they ever dreamed of, and cause the name of Sir G&briel Wood to be enrolled among the kindest, the best, and the bravest of Green- ock's sons. Let us hope that those whom the kind- hearted donor has appoinied to carry out his benevolent purpose will exercise all their caution, energies, and prudence in the erection and other preliminaries of the work. —Glasgow National. ODD FELLOWSHIP.—-We learn that this fraternity is on the increase. Not only in the cities and commercial towns of the empire not only in the thickly peopled districts, and in the places of popular resort do we hear of this society, whose great object is universal charity but we are able to state that an inclination to form lodges in our villages and more retired localities is observable. A NOBLE FEMALE .MINER. -The example set by Sir Robert Pee;, of raising the first so 1 on the Trent Valley Railway, appears likely to hmo imitators even among the fair sex. iïlC first blasting of the rock for the tunnel on the line of the Derry and Coleraine Railway was lately performed by Lady B.-uce. We are told, in an Itish paper, that bar ladyship applied the match in a scientific and workman-Yum rnauner," and that the ex- plosion which followed was hailed with loud bursts of enthusiastic applause; truly, the Irish are all enthusiastic nation I A11 advance of sixpence per day has been given to the thick co d colliers at Dudley, making their wages now 5s. per day.

THE RAILWAYS. Considering it a matter which would greatly interest our subscribers and the public generally, to know what railway companies in the district through which we circulate had been able to deposit their plans with the Clertv of the Peace for this county, in compliance with the standing orders of Parliament, we called at Mr. Dalton's offices in this town, and that gentleman has, with his usual courtesy and readiness to oblige, favoured us with the following list, which may there- fore be depended upon as strictly accurate PLANS DEPOSITED ON SATURDAY, NOV. 29TH.

Chute's benefit. Whatever the merits, or rather denies its, of other parties may be, he (Mr. Chuti) is certainly descrying oi public support. TUE L.<TE DEAN OF LLAXDA Fr.-J t \"ill be seen b,\ a reference to our advertisements, that the Library 01 this lamented gentleman is to be disposed o^by auction. The announcement must, we feel convinced, be hailed with pleasure by the clergy of the diocese—not so much for the opportunity afforded them of making valuable additions to their book-shelves, as that they will thus be enabled to provide themselves with a fitting memento ol one who stood so high in their esteem and affection. The catalogue, which will immediately appear, proves the Library to be rich in curious, as well as in useful and edifying works, reflecting, in fact, the richly-stored nundoftheir lamented owner. WELSH ELEGY ON THE LATE DEAN OF LLANIXYFF.— We find from Daniel D In that the word haeddiant should have been substituted f >:• fynlves in the third line in the last stanza but two—and we therefore insert the whole stanza according to his correction—• Fe rodiodd yn uniawn ya neddfau'i Greawnwr,— Ymgeisiodd aro "gamp gaHvedigaelh" ton tn.uvr, Ei 1J\vys rho Jd yn dawel ar haeddiant ei 15ryowr,— Fe drechodd y "gelyn diweddaf" Yi1 awr. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Saturday night last, shortly after nine o'clock, as Mr. David Lewis, of Radyr Farm, near this town, was proceeding slowly homewards on horseback, he was suddenly attacked by two men, when between Canton and Penhiii, who sprung out of tlu hedge—seized the bridle-pnt their hands into his pockets, from which they took about 20s. in silver, and made off over the neighbouring hedge. The whole transact ion did not occupy three minutes, so sudden and expert were the villains in effecting theirpurpose. Mr. Lewis pre- tended that he had company near at hand, and called out, which may have hall the effect of frightening the fellows, who, by the few words spoken by them, Mr. Lewis sup- poses to be Englishmen. CARDIFF POLICE. — We understand that the police force of this borough has been augmented by the addi- tion of two men. ACCIDENT AT SEA.—On Friday last, as the schooner Hope, of Liverpool, Captain Lever, was on her passage from Bristol to Liverpool, she ran foul of the light-ship Iyingbetween the Welsh and English grounds, and carried away her mainmast head and rigging. She put back to Bristol to be repaired. The Bishop of Llaudnff's Charge will be found at full lenirth in our fourth page. V< m. Edmondes, Esq., of Cowbridge, has been ap- pointed sub-division clerk to the deputy-lieutenants for Cowbridge sub-division and M". John Huckwell, of Llandaff, sub-division clerk to the deputy-lieutenants for Kibbor sub-division. CARDIFF FAIR.—Thi-j fair, on Monday last, was most numerously attended by buyers and sellers. A large quantity of horned cattle were exhibited for sale, and in very numerous instances realised high prices. One case which accidentally came under our notice we may men- tion :—A farmer in the morning said he should "think himself well off" if he obtained JE20 for a certain lot: itwascagerty bought up in the course of the fore- noon at £2,1. Several of the light-fingered gentry were, it seems, among the crowd, as several farmers complained of having been robbed of various sums. CHILD BURNT.—On Saturday last, a little girl, aged 4 years, and daughter of Thomas Llewellyn, of the Hayes, was severely burnt, by her clothes accidentally taking fire. It seems that the child's mother left the house with the view of transacting some business in town, and left the child playing by the door—her husband being in the house at the time, having been for some time confined to it by a broken leg. The child, by some accident not clearly explained, came in contact with the fire, and was instantly enveloped in flames, which her father promptly extinguished, however not before she was severely burnt about thechs, arms, and face. Shestiitsurvives. A SEAMAN SUFFOCATED. — Information reached our office yesterday [Thursday] evening, that a seaman had been suffocated in a vessel in the Bute Docks under the following circumstances: On Wednesday night, two seamen retired to rest in the forecastle; and as the night was cold and wintry, they made a fire in a crock or saucepan, in order to warm themselves by. it — completelv closed the hatches, and thereby cut off all communication with the external air—and, after some short interval, went to bed. Oil Thursday morning, one of the men awoke, and had just strength to crawl to the hatches—force them open—and thereby procure a supply of fresh air. His companion was quite dead and cold, having probably been suffocated by the foul air evolved by the coal during combustion. Another version of the matter is that the men Raw that there was no fire in the forecastle at seven o'clock, and that they did not retire to rest until ten. If this latter statement is correct, we think the man conld not have been suffocated by inhaling any deleterious or poisonous gas. An inquest is to be held this mornin"- on view of his remains, when, probably, as a rumour to this effect is current, namely, that there was 110 fire in the forecastle for three hours previous to the time at which the men went to bed, the coroner and jury will deem it advisable to have the testimony of a medical man as to the causes which led to the poor fellow's death. We have not been able to ascertain the name of the vessel, or of the deceased.

It appears that the wages of the col- liers are regulated by the price of the coals; and the col- liers having ascertained that the coals had risen in price, they simultaneously threw do-.vn their implements and left the pits. Ultimately a deputation of the men waited on their employer, when the demands of the men were promptly conceded, and all hands are now at work again. — From a Correspondent.

TREFOREST.—HOUSE-W ARJTIMI DINNEH.—On Monday last, the Istinst., tue house-waruungdinner of the Castle Inn,Treforest, took place upon which occasion upwards of forty persons sat down to a most sumptuous entertain- ment provided by the worthy host, Mr, Cooper, in his best st, Ie, and which, 111 addition to exquisite viands, included the choicest poit, sherry, champagne, and other excellent wines. 1 he chair was ably filled by E. Davies, Esq., surgeon, of Newbiidg-e, and the vice-chair by John Evans, Esq., wine and spirit merchant, Cardiff. After the cloth had been icmoved, the usual loyal and constitu- tional toasts were given and received with loud and eu- thusiastic cheering. Ine "Anny and Navy" was pro- posed by the vice-chairman, Mr, Evans, in a very spirited speech, in the course ot which he alluded to the present louring aspect of our political horizon, and expressed his firm conviction tnat, as heretofore, the British army and navy would-be found "the terror of tyrants, the boast of the frec." A vanety of songs, toasts, and senti- ments were given and duty respondeffto. The landlord's "health and prospenty w'as drank with loud cheers, and the compliment was ably acknowledged. The com- pany did not separate till a late hour, after spending a delightful evening) wnicb, we firmly believe, will be long remembered by all who wvre present. NEWBHIDGE MARKET BRICES.-Wheat, 7S.

SHIPS' STORES.—The Commissioners of the Customs having had under their consideration the practice of surplus ships' stores, wnicb have remained unexpended, being left on board vessels which have arrived from foreign voyages at a port of the United Kingdom, and are about to proceed with or without a cargo coastwise, preparatorily to making another foreign voyage from such other port on the British coast, H uti the board being of opinion that some further regulations are necessary, in order to assimilate the practice, and provide for the due account and delivery of such stores, it has been directed that surplus stores left on board any important vessel about to proceed coastwise only be placed under seals of office hy the waterguard department, and a par- ticular account thereof transmitted by letter of advice from proper officers to the collector and comptroller at the port of destination; and in addition thereto, that in all cases in which the quantity of high dutiable goods left on board sucn vessels may appear to the proper officer of the revenue to be excessive, a special bond for the removal of the same and the proper and due delivery thereof into the custody of the officers mentioned, at such outport be required, This order, which is of con- siderable importance to the shipping interest generally, vessel being frequently required to proceed coastwise immediately on the discbarge of their inward cargoes for the purpose of loading again there for a foreign port, has been printed and furnished to the several departments in London, and the collectors and comptrollers of the revenue, at the various outports of the United Kingdom, for their information and government.

CARDIFF POLICE.—MONDAY. [Before R. Reece, F.S.A., Mayor; the Lord James Stuart, M.P., and Rev. J. Evans ] BREAKING INTO THE GUILD-HALL. John Abrahams, who seemed to be a sort of travelling vagabond, was charged with haviug broken into the Town-lml^ and with having stolen thereill divers articles- Superintendent Stockdale said that at about nine o'clock on Saturday evening as he was passing the Town-hall, on duty, he observed the front door njar—or rather open. He weat to the police-station thinking the door had been left open by inadvertence. Accompanied by a policeman he retur- ned to the Hall—entered it -found the large hall in some J disonlt-r-the moreen curtains had been drawn out of a box in which they are usually deposited so that he was induced to believe some one had been there with a 'elonious intent. Lie looked at the floor and could plainly distinguish 1 lie impressions of feet in the saw-dust upon It, by wnich impressions he was enabled to trace the pro- gress of the person through the building. He went on and came ultimately to the room in which the magistrates meet, anu in which the "county business is transacted at Quarter Sessions. The door oittusroom he found fastened although it is generally left open. He was now convinced that gome one had fastened It, and putting his houhler to it forced it open. Upon earing he dis- c ivered the prisoner who had prepared a lar^e bundle <>! vai ious articles—such as the covering of the desk usi-o hy judges at asaiz.es, the engraving of IlngiUth's "Idle App c 'ice, curtains, See. Prisoner had two keys aooj! hi HI, one of which would open the Town-hail and tin station-house doors. Tiie prisoner in reply to question.* j out to hi in told Superintendent St ickdaie thai lie intended I robbing the HaJJ-that he had formerly been convicted oi forgerv, but had effcC'ed hi= escape )ro>t» prison. Hewas taken into custody. In reply to the magistrates be Ireeh admitted that it was his intention ta c ury the variou- articles which he had collected away WHO him. Remand d. CAUTION TO HOUSEHOLDERS.—Superintendent Stock- dale said lie wished householders getieranj would forth- with examine the fastenings of their doors, itS d,ey were in nany instances, which had n-cently come to his knowledge, nostiusecure. Many had no fastenings at ali to their doors. Again, some of the watchmakers, silversmiths, and jewellers of this place were negligent iti fastening their premises at night. [Mr. Stockdale m.-mtioneu a par- iicul ir case in which a jeweller's shoo had receutiy been found with the door wide open at midatgiti.] ASSAULT. — Francis Foul, seam 01. who rppeare" wiih his face most curiously and ingeniously tat- tooed, was charged with having assaulted the servant- maid of the Royal Oak public-bouse. Tiie young woman state to the bench the circumstances under which the assault had been committed, but didnotwishto press the charge. Defendant said he was too drunk to know what he did or said at the time. He was discharged on putting three shillings into the Infirmary box. DRUNKENNESS.— Robert Manship was convicted in the penally of eight shillings, including costs, for having been drunk on Saturday night, and far having whi'st in that disgraceful state committed several breaches of the peace. Paid. Tit3 attention of the magistrates was called to the state of Cardiff market on Saturday evenings. It was said that boys, and in many instances, men 111-ide a practice of peiting potatoes, pieces of apples, turnips, &c., at per- sons who were quietly pursuing thEir avocatIOns, or making purchases. The magistrates gave the necessary instructions to Superintendent Stockdale so as to prevent a recurrence of the offensive and dangerous practice. "IRELAND'S WEAKNESS."—Three of "the finest pis- anthry in the universe," natives of the "jim of the say," applied to the bench for assistance under these circum- stances They said they had recently engaged at Newport with a master of a vessel to convey them irom that port to Ireland for balf-a-crovvn a head. They went on board and the vessel proceeded on her voyage as far as Penarth roads, where she was, by stress of weather, obliged to anchor. The provisions of our Emeralders began to wax short and they determined to go ashore. The master of the vessel put them ashore, but refused to return their passage-money. They now applied to the bench for a summons against the captain in order to compel him to refund their two-and-sixpences. The magistrates toid them they could not interfere. They (applicants) then left the Hall, loudly exclaiming against the "lhralemint" they received ashore as well as at sea. A young seaman next advanced and said his captain [a master of a coasting vessel] would not pay him twenty days' wages. He (complainant) wished to ieavethevesset as he was too unweii to proceed and to do duty at sea. The person complained against appeared soon afterwards, and having heard the seaman's story said that he certainly objected to pay the wages claimed, inasmuch as the man had not served his month out, which by law, he ought to do. The magistrates after hearing statements from both sides at considerable length and with much patience, told the young man to return to his duty and to endeavour^to agree with his employer; who was also enjoined to take a fair and merciful view of his seaman's position. THURSDAY. [Before Rev. J. Evans and W. Nicholl, Esq.] ASSAULT.—Mr. Henry Hod'ier, articled clerk to Mr. Langley, of this town, solicitor, was charged with having assauited Mr. John R. Reece, surgeon, on Monday evening lasf. This case excited the deepest interest in this town, in consequence of the high respectability of the parties, and therefore the magistrates' room was crowded. The mayor was present, but took not the slightest part in hear- ing the case. Mr. John R. R"ece sworn:—I have to complain that on Monday last, December 1st, between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock at night, in coming out of the theatre, I was assaulted by a man of the name of Hollier. I saw him hehind me in coming out. A party ol ladies and gentle- men, including Lord James Stuart and his party, were waiting for their carriages auJ I did not wish to push beyond them, but waited, as I thought it was my place to do so. I felt somebody pushingbehiad me. I looked round and saw Mr. Hollier. He managell to push me on one side and get before me. There was not sufficient room without his doing so. It was done with his body. I immediately, on being pushed, said, You are a rude monster whoever you are and I should imagine that you had been brought up at the ploughshare all your days." Nothing further was said, as he managed to get out before me. On getting outside the theatre, just before I had got on the path, he said to me, You called me a rude mon- ster ?" I had my hands in my pocket at the time, with my gloves on, and had just time to say I did, when he struck me with his fist on my moulh. 1 instantly pulled my hands out of my pocket-a person interfered-when I received a second blow from him (Mr. Hollier) on my mouth. Several persons then interfered and I saw no further of him. I saw Mr. James Lewis pulling him away. That is ali I have to complain of. I could call a host of witnesses to prove (he assault, but one is sufficient. P. C. Phillips fully corroborated Mr. Reece'sstatement. Mr. Hollier, addressing the magistrates, wished to know whether he might enter upon his dispute with Mr. Reece generally, or confine himself to the assault? The magistrates thought he had better confine his ob- servations to the assault. Mr. Iloliier then said :—T am charged with having pushed Mr. John Reece, in the passage, on leaving the theatre. As far as that charge is concerned I can only say that it is impossible for lue to say whether I did or did not. It was in a crowd, and I therefore neither contradict that charge nor admit it. I can say nothing about it. What first attracted my attention to him was hearing a remark made behind my back, which was this-" Did yon ever see such a rude monster." I turned round to see who the speaker was, and to whom he applied such an unnsuairetuaik. On my turning 1 saw Mr. John Reece, but did not say a word to him then. On my going out of the theatre these words were repeated twice or three times. On coming outside the th-atrelbeard Mr. John Reece make use of the same words again, and added—" It shews In", he must have been brought up at the ploughshare." I waited till he was outside the theatre and then asked him if he made that allusion to me?" lie said, I did;" and then I struck him. Astubishandsbeinginhis pockets I have nothing to say: they ought not to have been there when they were wanted somewhere else. (Laughter.) However, he attempted to strike me back, and I received his blow on my left arm. I then gave him a second blow, which he says took effect in the same place as the first. Mr. Lewis (surgeon) took hold of me and led me some distance off. Mr. Russell then joined me. I soon afterwards heard a voice cry, Shame, shaise, to strike a man behind his back.1' I turned round—saw Mr. John Reece about to strike me, and I then struck him again. Some other circumstances were entered upon, which the magistrates thought did not form part of the transaction, and therefore Mr. Hollier did not proceed with his state- ment. After considerable discussion the magistrates ex- pressed a wish to hear the evidence of any one who saw Mr. Hollier push Mr. Reece in the passage, with the view of being enabled to form an opinion as to his (Mr. Hol- der's) intentions—whether he pushed Mr. Reece accident- ally or de.si^nedly. Mr. James Lewis, surgeon, was, with that view, examind, but his evidence did not touch npon the point under consideration. Ultimately, after a pro- tracted conversation, the magistrates convicted Mr. Hol- lier in the penally of one pound, exclusive of costs, which sum was instantly paid. Mr. Reece said he had been violently pushed by Mr. Hollier in the passage of the theatre. The magistrates seemed to think that it was advisable to require the principals in ibis case to enter into sureties tokecp the peace. A friend of Mr. Hollier's thought it but right that he (Mr. Holiier) should shew the magistrates a note which lie had received from Mr. Reece, and which was a challenge to Mr. Holiier, reqlJiring him to meet Mr. Reece on Wauntreoda commou [a bleak unfrequented spot three miles from Cardiff] at four o'clock this morning, with pis- tols and a friend." ( Great laughter.) We understood Mr. Reece to say that he had received a similar note from Mr. Hollier, which caused explanations to take place, and by which it appeared that both gentle- men had been played upou by some wag—or, in the words ot a gentleman present, "both were regularly hoaxed." This liule incident set the whole party laughing. The following is a copy of the letter received by Mr. Reece: Sir, -In consequence of the misunderstanding having taken place at the Theatre' 011 Monday last, I demand that satisfaction which one gentleman gives to another by meeting me with your friend and pistols on Waintrodda commons at four o'clock to morrow morning. Yours, &c., Cardiff, Deer. 3d, 1845. IIENIIY IIOLLIER, jun. It is more than probable that by the sune post Mr. Hollier received a similar note, couched in precisely simi- lar terms, and being evidently written by some one well acquainted with the particulars of the affair on Monday night for in the course of the week Mr. Reece received the following letter, which may, or may not, have been written by the gentleman whose name is attached to it: — Sir,—! have placed your note in the hands of a friend, who tells me that the terms are too ridiculous to comply with. A Gentleman, when he seeks satisfaction, sends a friend to his opponent to arrange matters. I will add that at this lime of .he year daylight docs not commence un il some hours af er the 'ime you mention. Should you wish to proceed further in this affair you will find that I shail not flinch. Yours, Sic., Cardiff, Dec. 3rd, 1845. H- J. HOLLIER. Mr. John Rees, Cardiff. [Before R. Reece, F.S.A., Mayor, and W. Nicholl, Esq.] Mr. Thatcher, landlord of the Railway Tavern.Crockherb town, was charged with having refused to receive three soldiers into his house who had been regulariy billetted on him. Case dismissed, as it appeared Mr. Thatcher had not refused to receive them, but had merely sent to inquire of Superintendent Stockdale whether the soldiers were to remain there. In the interim the soldiers walked away and refus d to return when asked to do so. Two young fellows were brought up, charged with pelting apples or potatoes about the market. Case dis- missed for want of evidence. The young man wiio is charged with having broken into the Town-ba i was lurtker ren.au tiU ^louday.

MERTHYRANDXEIGHBOU -J. With the exception of Higii-s'.reet and a few others, die streets of this to wn, panictilarly the parish roads am' ay-streets, are in a deplorably filthy condition, and impe- ratively demand the im mediate attention of the prope: authorities and the inhabitants at large. The disgustin, habit of throwing ashes to the streets is strongly to be reprehended, and parties guilty of that vile practice richly deserve to be punished t>y due course of law. CORONER'S INDUESrs. — It is our melancholy duty this week to report the f-"bowing inquests, which were held before Win. Davids.. 1., coroner.—On Friday.the 2>t!i ult., at toe A;.e" in <, on view* 01 tne body of .Vd iam Morgan,aged 8 years, who met his death at Cwmbargo*! Colliery, by a tram passing over his head, which nearh severed it irom (be body, "Verdict—Accidental death. On Saturday, at Rhymnoy Iron Works (Glamorganshire side), on the body of Mary Rees, aged 3!), the\vife o' John Rees, miner, of that place, who was found dead in one of the Rhymnoy pin on the previous Wednesday night. Rumours were afloat that the deceased had com- mitted suicide the coroner ami jury were, therefore, ver\ particular in making toe st-ictest investigation into all the circumstances which bad a tendency to throw light on the melaneh dy event. It appeared in evidence that she and her husband lived very happily together, anil nothing transpired to prove the correctness of the suspi- cious reports. The jury, therefore, after the most patient investigation, returned the verdict of "Found dead." O11 the same day at Aberdare, on the body of David Hughes, taylor, aged 48. From tbe evidence adduced it appeared that the deceased lefi his home on Thursday weeklast,to work at a farm house in the neighbourhood, and was not expected home until the following Satur- day. In consequence of his not returning that day enquiries were instituted, and a diligent search was made in every direction, but to no purpose, until Dyffryn pond was let out, and the body was found therein. When the deceasclllcft home he had the sum of thirteen shillings in his pockets, and when his body was found 12s. 3d. were found on his person. Verdict-" Found drowned." On Monday, at the Angel Inn, on the body of Philip Phillips, aged 14, who was killed that morning at Ply- mouth works, by a fall of coal. Verdict—"Accidental death." His brother William Morgan, aged 20, was also severely injured by the same fall, and but faint hopes are entertained of his recovery. On Tuesday an inquest was held at the Angel Inn, before the same coroner, on view of the body of Sarah Jones, aged 61 Fars, who was found dead in the Ply- mouth feeder, on the evening on Monday last. Verdict— Found drowned." An inquest was also held on the body of a man (name unknown) apparently about 50 years of age, who was found in the same feeder that morning. Verdict as before. Also that it be notified to the proprietors of the Plymouth feeder, that in consequence of the sawifice of so many human lives in the said feeder, that protective measures be adopted immediately to save the public from falling into it. A woman, named Mary Meyrick was found drowned in the Glamorganshire canal, on Tuesday morning.

[WEDNESDAY, Nov. 26. Before T. W. HILL, Esq.] ASSAULT.—A young man was charged by his father with assaulting him on Monday night, while in a state of intoxication. Defendant expressed great contrition for what he had done, and promised not. to do so ih future. His fat her said he did not wish to press the charge he was therefore discharged, after receiving a reprimand from the bench. Evans Evans, of the Lamb and Flag, Dowlais, was charged with refusing to admit a police constable into his house in the execution of his duty. P. C. Parry said, that on Sunday morning last, at one o'clock, he was passing by the Lamb and Flag, when he heard a great noise in the house. He tried to open the door, but it was locked. He then knocked three times, and said that the police was there. Defendant made use of very insulting language and refused to open the door. Fined £ 3 and 12s. Gd. expenses. Allowed a week to pay. George Thompson was charged with being a deserter. P. S. Rees said, that having read a description of a deserter, he went to Pontstorehouse and charged the defendant that he was the person, which he denied. He apprehended him and brought him to the police station, and read the descri ption in his presence, when he con- fessed. It seems he deserted on the 4th of the same month from the 37th Regiment of Foot, stationed at Dowlais. He was ordered to remain in custody until orders be received from the Secretary of War. Edward Williams was brought forward on suspicion of being an accessary in the late forgery on the Brecon Obi Bank. He was, however, discharged for want of evidence. MONDAY, DECEMBER 1ST. Before T. W. Hill and W. Meyrick, Esqrs. Joseph Williams, toll-collector, was charged by Mr. Thomas Austin, woollen manufacturer, of Pontytypridd, with demanding more toll than was lawful. Complain- ant said, I am a woollen manufacturer, and live in Newbridge. On Tuesday morning I went through the Dowlais gate, of which defendant is the keeper. I had a market cart drawn by one horse. I gave the collector a shilling, and he returned sixpence to me. I demanded another twopence which he refused to give. I told him I would summon him before the magistrates. No angry words took place between us. The cart was a market one—011 springs with two wheels, and acovering of planks, and drawn by one horse. Had never used it to carry passengers. Had paid only fourpeuce at another gate on the previous day. Never paid sixpence before since the passing of the New Turnpike Act." Defend- ant said that he considered the vehicle used by Mr. Austin to be similar to a gig, for which reason he de- manded the amount stated. Complainant said he did not wish to press the charge, but summoned him merely for his information in order to have a proper understand- ing. Fined only Is. ann 10s. Gd. expenses. Diivid Davies was charged by JO!1!l "TilIiams with assaultiug him at Aberdare, on the 15th October. Wiliiams said, that on the above day he was in the shop, when a person came in and said that Davies was killing his dog. He went out and saw the defendant kicking the dog, and he desired him to desist, when he came on and knocked him on the shoulder. P. C. Roberts, of Hirwain. said, that before the summons could be served defendant had absconded, but he apprehended him yesterday at his father s house. Fined 5s. and 15s. Gd. expenses. -———- GLAMORGAN CENTRAL MINEBAJL, RAILWAY.—A divi- dend of 41 per cent., for the half-year ending October 31st, has just been declared, and paid by the Duffryn Liynvi and Porth Cawl Railway Company. This railway is about to change its name into" the Glamorgan Cen- tral Mineral Railway," and to extend its line by the addition of twenty miles of new railway. The additional twenty miles will be divided into four branches, averag- ing the miles each.and running up four different mineral valleys. lhese lour branches will meet together, and join the old Porth Cawl Railway, which runs up a fifth mineral valley. All the five valleys abound with coal and iron ore (both argillaceous and black band), and may be looked upon as the best district in the kingdom for working coal cheaply, and making good iron at a small cost. The Glamorgan Central Mineral Railway 1 will provide the means of easy and expeditious transit to the sea at a low rate of tonnage, and the new harbour at Porth Cawl (about to be made by the same company), will not be excelled in the Bristol Channel. BOWRINGTON.—Our esteemed correspondent at this place informs us that Anne Lloyd, who was so dreadfully mutilated at the woiks a few weeks ago, & David Morgan, who met with a severe accident, have received several sums from benevolent persons. The scarlet fever is very prevalent in the neighbour- hood of .\1aesteg. A Dutch vessel was driven ashore on the sands between Aberavon and Briton-ferry last week. By an advertise- ment it will be perceived, that her materials are to be sold by auction. NEATH PETTY SESSIONS. — Friday, Nov. 28.-[Before F. Fiedricks, H. Gwyn, and G. Llewellyn, Esqrs.] — Evan Harry, landlord of the Half-way House, Crumlin Burrows, and David Llewellyn, copper-nailer, Foxhole, were fined the sum of £ 2 each, including costs, for having trespassed 011 Pen-issa-Coed farm in pursuit of game— neither of them having a game certificate. PORTH CAWL—SHIPWRECK, AND Loss OF LIFE.— Early in the morning of Monday last a sloop called the Olive Branch, of Plymouth, about 80 tons burthen, William Prout, master, came ashore on the rocks near a farm house, called Houtchings, about half a mile to the westward of this port. She first struck on the sands t beillg about half tide) when the sea completely broke over her and as the tide advanced she was driven in upon the rocks. One of the crew, a young man, jumped from the bowsprit on the rocks, and escaped without any injury. Before, however, any of the others could follow him, the vessel was drawn back by the powerful reflux of the tide, and began to break up. The young man, not knowing what to do, as it was quite dark and the wind blew a fearful gale from the south-west, proceeded from the rocks towards the land, and finding a cart rut traced it to the farm house before-mentioned, where he procured the assistance of two men and a lanthorn. On their return to the rocks they found that the cabin boy had been washed ashore, on a part of the bow of the vessel, but could discover no traces of the captain or mate. As soon as it was light the full extent of the wreck was seen, as the vessel was literally in pieces. At low water the bodies of the illfated men were found among the rocks, a short distance to the eastward of the wreck. Their names are William Prout, captain, and William S.iowdeii, mate, both living at or near Plymouth, The bodies were deposited at the Knight's Arms Inn, Porth Cawl, to await the coroner's 0 inquest. From enquiries personally made of the survivors, we are enabled to state, that the vessel left I-almouth, on Saturday last (29th ult.) for Newport, Monmouthshire, in ballast. They made Lundy light, off which they split their square-saiis, and proceeded up channel (course unknown)—wind south-west, blowing a very strong gale —under three-reefed mainsail and second jib. It would seem, however, that they had mistaken their course, as they supposed themselves to be above the Nass lights. How any of the crew were left to tell the hapless tale appears almost a miracle, as the place where the vess«l ••vis di iveil ashore is covered wi'.h .Jarsre limestone rocks The materials aie being gaihi-;ad from he wreck, and will await tbe disposal of the rwn-r, (j-.i j-, Hart, of P y-iK Uth). It is not known whether she was insured >:• not. Tiie survivors, whose names are John Evans and William Turner, have been relieved by Lient. IJradley, R.N., harbour master, p.-ent to tiie Shipwrecked Mari- ner's Society, and will be sent ou to Cardiff or Newport, 'Vom whence they will be enabled to iirocec-1 direct to their home, Plymouth. ^FURTIIit.'i PARTICULARS.—The inqnost ws held on \V ednes lay last, before Alexander Cuthberts >:i, Esq., •••oroner, and a respectable jury, at the Knight's Arm* Inn, Poi'thcawl, when verdicts of Accidental!v Drowned' were returned by the jury. Our correspondent says— "From the evidence of the two survivors, John Evans and William Turner, as adduced at the inquest, lam enabled to correct my former account in some minor points. x he vessel did not first strike on the sands, but was driven right in upon the ro.iks the lad, Wm. Turner, was the last upon the wreck. lie, at first, endeavoured to follow John Evans, who escaped off the bowsprit, but was afraid it would break, and therefore remained on the 'leek with tue deceased. He saw the mate thrown down 011 tue deck by a sea; and afterwards saw the caotain washed overboard by another sea. The lad held on by the rigging tiii the chain plates broke, when he was compelled to let go his hold and fall into the water how be came ashore lie does not know. The bodies of the C IPtain and mate will be buried on Friday (this day) in Newton Churchyu-i." SWANSEA SAVINGS' BANK, Nov. 20.— Deposits received t!573 4s. 9d.; paid, £ 2(32 13s. 2d.

Joseph Skantlebury, master of the Gratitude, of Swansea, cut his throat dreadfully after which he jumped o*Vrboard into the water, from which he was with difficulty extricated, and medical assistance immediately procured, but he died on Tuesday afternoon from the injuries inflicted by himself. The cause for this rash and awful act is not known, except that he was not on good terms with the owner of the vessel and he was for several days observed to labour under great depression of spirits. About six weeks ago his family, a wife and three children, were removed from Fowey, in Cornwall, to Swansea, as the vessel seldom or ever visited that place. His widow seems in a frantic state, feeling her distressed condition most acutely. Another corres- pondent writes :-On Monday evening last, great sensa- tion was caused in this town in consequence of a report that a person named Abraham Scantlebury, a resident, had attempted self-destruction in the following dreadful manner:—It appears that deceased was master of the Gratitude, of this port, and that 011 tbe above evening he was in the cabin of that vessel, alone, when he inflicted a dreadful gash in his throat with a razor, and afterwards threw himself out through the cabin window into the river. The tide being out at the time, he fell into the mud. His descent was noticed by a person who happened to be passing al the time on the opposite side of the river, who instantly gave the alarm, and the rash man was in a few minutes afterwards taken out and conveyed to the cabin of the vessel. He was promptly attended by Mr. Terry, surgeon, who dressed the wound, which appeared to be nearly three inches in length, and had almost severed the windpipe. He was removed to his residence the same evening, where he lingered until Tuesday, when. death put an end to his existence. It is stated that deceased committed the rash act whilst labouring under a fitof passion caused by a dispute which had taken place between him and his employer. He has left a widow and three young children to lament his untimely and misera- ble end. An inquest was held Oil Wednesday on new of his remains, before Charles Collins, Esq., coroner, when the jury, having heard the evidence, returned a verdict of" Temporary insanity."

ummmimim SIR CHARLES MORGAN'S ANNUAL SHOW.—We beg leave to remind our agricultural friends, and all interested, that this annual gathering is to take phce on Tuesday next. Our next number will contain a full account of the proceedings. "WE perceive by Mr. Price's advertisement, that the lovers of harmony will have an opportunity afforded them, at Newport Town Hall, OIl the ISth instant, of hearing some of the first vocalists of the day. We refer to the grand concerts which are to take place under the most distinguished patroluge-names which would inevitably secure a house crowded to the ceiling even if the attrac- tions provided by Mr. Price were not of that high order which, upon a reference to his announcement, every one must perceive them to be. ABERGAVENNY.—llio u WA Y ROBBSRY.—On W ednesd ay, the 19th November, as Mr. George Window, farmer, was returning home from Abergavenny fair, when about a mile out of town he was met by four or five men, who pulled him from his horse and robbed him of three £ 5 notes, one £ 10 note, a sovereign, a hunch of keys, and a penknife. They then decamped. Oil Friday week a person, supposed to be one of the party, changed the JStO note, which circumstance induced P. Cusack, a most active police. otfieer, to take him into custody, and subse- quently two others. They have been fully committed to take their trial at the next assizes for the county of Mon- mouth. The prisoners are well known characters it seems. Their names are —James Thomas, alias Here- ford Jim George Walden, and George Lewis. Two are still at large, it is said, named John Edwards and George Bowen, both masons. Cn"ack has been mast indefati- gable in his endeavours, and certainly great credit is due to him for his exertionsin the matter.

It may be that where the commodity 13 of a per.-i.i.t" riafurc, it must be r-sold even when the inferiority is known. The remedy wbi<-h m >-t usually suggests itsel' is that 0? li'i aatiou f>r ftuu I. But a recent euoJ ot g.ait author*v has narrowed th Ground on wnich such a; action ;:V „h cy 0.1'y wb- ill- iafr.ioritv of the goods 11 ,iv enmp'.e is brought'horn- r» tho l;;ioiv!c;l r- 1 the defendim* at' the ?i=?> • h<? ><•>• "• V'.e u.r!e U I. o v. ,,I, t, 25, !? was an artiinu ii the c-.s'e again:-r the dr- feadai.T.s'v.-h* > wore dealers in eo.ton, tor fraud, in re,!r. sen tin2 eort.-l.i samples of cotton as fair samples of 11- bales, \vhich the p'.aintiiF w..s thereby induced to bay t, the price of £ 1,(W6 15s., whereas they_ wereuot fair sim- ples.

Tim enrt thus explicitly hiiii down thy ml;: of law on the su'we.et .— The rule which is to be derived f-0m all the ^sos apppar- to us to be, that where, upon the saie oi go;?, tne pur-a'-ij. is satisfied without requiring a warranty. which w a mutter for his ,),v;i con iteration, h« cannot recover upon a mow repre- ssatauja of the quality by the seller uales3 he can snow th the reprwr-nfutiou was bottomed in fraud. If, in representation was false to the knowledge Oi the party mitiiii it. this would in general be conclusive evidence of fraud, but i the representation was honestly made a-id believed at tae tunc to be true by the party making it, although not true in ptmii of fltd, ue think this does not amount to fraud in law, but thai the rule of caveat emptor app'.ioand the representation itsen does not furnish a ground of action, and aUhoagi tne c.i"se may in L i ,c.- raise some ditilcntly čt- to tiie eftjet of a false »sse:tl,>n or representation of tiile ia theseiter, yet it wid he found 011 examination that in each of those cases t'lere w..is either an assertion of title embodied in the contract, or a repre- sentation of title which was false to the knowledge of the seller. The remedy of an action for fraud is therefore virtu- ally cut oil from the sufferer, for it. is only in rare eases that the knowledge of the fraud could be brought home to the vendor. Where the goods are discovered to be inferior too late to return them and to rescind the con- tract, if the vendee have a remedy at all, it is by an action for the damages he- sustains by reason of the good not corresiiouiii i!t with the sample, Wilier, taere 13 some snow of authority for holdiur; to be an implied warranty. The case of I'arker v. Palmer is an authority for sue an action, and it ouirht to be tried under the circumstances We have named. It is monstrous to suppose that there would be no remedy, although in Ormerod v. xruth in: court hn" very nearly gone that length. We may here conveniently note another recent case, which clearly deliaes the rule whereby contracts for spe- cific .chattels are sometimes he'd binding, although the aitiele ia unfit for the use intended. We refer to the ease of Olivant v. Bayley (5 Q. B. Rep. 2.8), where the defendant ordered one of the piain- tiif's patciit printing machiues for printing two colours. The machine was made and proved useless, but the Court of Queen's Bench held the contract, to be binding, le.r the tnachwe was" a known ascertained article;" and, in this case, the vendee must take and pay for it, however unnt for the purpose intended. Hut it it was not a known ascertained article," and the defendant had merely or- dered tt machine for a stated put pose, and it was not fit for it, he wonid not have been houitd to take ii, but might return it under the same conditions we have mentioned in th;) opeuius of this note. These cases very strongly enforce the policy and en- large the application of the old rule of caveat empfur— the law is siiil less useful to imprudent purchasers than to llis!lO ;1,2;)t sellers. Economist. ■ <$p~ LOUD JOHN IiUSSEL! LETTER OX THE CORN LAWS. The varied aspect which the same question will assume to some men, is truly remarkable. A lawyer was once consulted by a client, but he declared that the case Was so dark and obscure that he could not see it. The client supplied him with a pair of excellent spectacles in the shape of a heavy purse, and as if bv magic, the whole matter became clear and radiant as the light of day. There is reason to think that the same rule holds good in a portion of the political world. For tea years Lord John Russeil was a leading member of the Reform Ministry which held complete sway over the destinies of this country. During that time lie had the power of proposing and most probably of carrying the repeal of the corn laws, but did he do either1? Not a syllable on the matter ever escaped his lips. Bread-corn tnigbt rise to fourteen shillings per bushel, work might be scarce, distress abound, and the industrious classes un- dergo the must severe privations, but no kind was ever submitted by him or his colleagues. A change of circumstances, however, arises. Lord John is no longer in office. Other men have been-called by the national voice to the direction 0/ public ali'airs, and after years of prosperity, a serious difficulty which no human prudence could avert, is supposed to have arisen in an extensive failure (or mysterious disease" as his lord- ship terms it) of the potatoe crop. It is at this conjunc- ture that a distant ulimp«e of Downing-street, anticipated embarrassments of the Ministry, and the sweet hope of a return to power, effect a complete change in hia lord- ship's vision. The corn-law, which was perfectly harm- less before, now assumes the shape of a monster of evil, and roust be got rid of at ail hazards-in other words Lord John turns his coat as completely as any political Jim Crow whose renegade propensities have brought disgrace on public men. We intended, if space had admitted, to reply by argu- ment to the general Declaration issued by Lord John Russell i rom the Scotch capital, but it is unnecessary to do so--tirs" because the question has so oft"n been dis- cussed in tnese columns, and secondly because his lord- ship is so well replied to by himself—ex. gr.
