The crew were fortunately savfid. The bill for the, iinproyenient of our har^.otjr was read a second time in the House of Commons on Monday. The bill enabling the Company of proprietors of the Brecon and Abe gavenny Canal to raise a turthcrsum for completing the same, received the Royal Assent by Commission on Thursday. The nominations for the sweepstakes of lO -gui- neas each, to be run for on.the, first day..of Cardiff Races, will be found in the advertisement inserted in a preceding column. Lord Dynevor and family arrived on Saturday at their house in Portman-square, London, from Dy- nevor Castle. Her Ladyship, it is rumoured, in- tends giving a grand ball and supper about the lat- ter end of this month. -1 The Carmarthen militia were expected to march into Winchester barracks, this week, from Ports- mouth. It must give infinite satisiàctiQh to the Lieute- nancy of Pembrokeshire, and it reflects the high- est honour on the zeal and exertions of the ma- gistracy of that county, that their quota ton the army of reserve was fully completed early in February last, while many ther parts of-the king- dom are yet so deficient; and the-yejy handsome, compliment they have received on that head, musi' be highly grateful to their feelings. One man only having been since rejected, the vacancy, thus oc- casioned is all that now remains "to,-foe filled up. wh-ep the. whole will be complete. The venerable old mansion of the Stepney family, at Llanelly, in Carmarthenshire, which for years has wef>T for the loss of its respectable » v\ < s, now dividing mto.three distinct; fewiily .ne-.s- ■> and the out-ollices are.aiso converting into com- fortable tenements—an 'accommodation xhuch I wanted from the increase Ùf population in that neighbourhood. The ingenious Mh GfiiHths, tlie -priattgal; engi- neer at LlaneUy'j has added some considerable itn- provemeutS-in the mode tffworking MrrTre^^thick's patent engine; the sanicarti'st is abotit to introduce- a regulator on an entire lie vv principle, for ascertain- iug the powerrof any engine, iniil, or watef-wheel, at the time it gotfefiis its xilotion. >, Tuesday last, a gentleman angling, in the rivers Sleddu, caught, with a natural tly; a trout s^veii-. inches long,' with two heads; it was in every other respect like unto fish of that specics. In the night between Thursday and Friday last, we experienced a violent storm ot thunder and lightning, accompanied with heavy rain and hail, which appears to have been very general through- out the kingdom. South Wales felt its destructive effects only in a trivial degree, but much damage was done in some of the northern countieis of the Principality, particularly in 'Montgomeryshire, where a barn belonging to Mrs. Swain, ol Peuygaer, ill the parish of Bettws, was set on fire by the lIght- ning;, which destroyed that and another barn ad- joining, a waggon, from 40 to 50 bushels ot wheat,, a quantity othay, all the poultry, and a dog.— Many parts of England have suffered;severely; in the neighbourhood of Bath, unprecedented exam- ples ot devastation appeared, wheta the torrents ceased to tallroads torn up, gardens destroyed, and considerable portions of land removed from their situationsv Among these phajnoinena may- be reckoned—a vast body Of" earth from the "sum- mit anddeclivityof Beéchen cliff, which leil" with Iiideous ruin and combustion (for it is doubtful whether ii was occasioned by the action of the elec- trical fluid or water) loaded with bushes and trees into the field below;—the dislocation of almost half an acre in afield belonging to the ltcv. R. War- ner, at Hanging-land; and a slip of neat;y the same magnitude in a field on the Prior-park-estate. A more awiul and tremen- dous storm <?f thunder 'and lightning was never ex- perienced in the memory of the oldest person liv- ing, than that which occurred last Thursday night in the counties of Lancaster aud Chester, and, we are sorry to say, the damage sustained is almost incalculable. The thunder was succeeded b,y im- mense torrents of rain and hail. Not far from Warrington, on the Cheshire side, a bolt fell, which did great injury, and by which one person in parti- cular suffered severely in his property. At Bolton and its vicinity the people experienced a most dreadful tornado, and it is supposed that a water- spout must have burst in that neighbourhood, the river Irwell having swelled to so great a height as to sweep Mvay many buildings, and large quantities of household furniture, &c. among which, it is said, a cradle was observed, but whether an infant was in it or not, we have not been able to ascertain, though the cradle-clothes were distinctly seen. The storm appears to have been general in these parts; its duration was upwards of two hours, and was dreadful and destructive in the extreme. At Hul- ton Park ball of fire fell with such torce as to split in shivers and tear up.an old ash-tree, which had long been admired for its strength and, beauty. The effects Of this truly terrible terhpest, we appre- hend, are very extensive, and will be severely felt by the inhabitants of our circumjacent dis- tricts. Several bridges have been throwa down. by the devouring elements. II T, T. Andrews, Esq. of King-square, is appointed Comptroller of Customs at Bristol, in the room of the late Mr. Racster, who had enjoyed it but a few weeks, upon the. designation of .Mr- Harford. c l'O Monday the Royal Bristol light-horse volunteers received their standard from the hands of the lady of P. J, Miles, Esq. The standard was consecrat- ed at Clifton chvifch by the Rev. J. Vaughan. The ceremony of presentation took; place on Durdham- down, the Bristol volunteer infantry attending to keep the ground. On May-day a dinner was given by Mr. Barnes, of the Fort, near Monmouth, and the Rev. VIr. W illiams, of Goodrich, to the volunteers be- "longing to the parishes of Whitchurch and Good- rich. The table was spread in the principal court of that venerable structure, Goodfich Castle; the repast consisted of true old English fare.roast beef, with plentiful libations uf ale and cider; and the entertainment was enlivened by martial music. The'greatest hilarity prevailed throughout the day; in the evening, joined by their female friends, the parties commenced the jocund dance; and all de- parted highly gratified with the liberality of the donors, and the fascinating novelty o* festive scene. A member of the Cheltenham troop of yeomanry cavalry, stationeci on permanent duty in Glocester, was on Sunday mornihe fast expelled the corps for disorderly, unsoldierlike conduct, »nd disobedi- ence of orders, The wisdom of the British Legislature knows, no difference of persons when the pevice or property of any one is disturbed or invaded. 0n Saturday last a lady of self-created distinction, in a sea-port not far west of this town, was obliged to enter into a bond to keep the. peace for making use of striking argu- ment's, not only to her dearly beloved, but to an inof-, iensive and unprotected neighbour of her own sex, OIl the visionary idea that ?iugh6 would overcome right. The impartial conduct of the Magistrate, before whom (in private) the matter was settled, deserves to be recorded; but in Consideration of 0 ity, we the younger branches of the agressoy's famiiyrwe will take no further notice of so violent a breach of ieni'ale decorum, than to remark, that the Magis- tracy of this quarter are not to be biassed by either shew, family, Or fortune, nor the weak deprived of the effect which the excellency otolIr laws has, or- damedtorfheirpTotection. Friday night last some villains stole the blue cloth lining and part of the apron from the curricle ofCo'I. Warde, at Woodland Castle, near this town, which they carried off undis<;overpd-and between Saturday night and .Monday morning, tour pigs of lead were stolen from the alum works at- Melin Crythan, near Neath, Tuesday night, a-bont half past, nine o'clock, as Lieutenant-Colonel GWft;was retiirning from Bris- tol, to his house at Brislington, on the road be- tween Mr. Maxse's antLKensington-place, he obser- ved two stout men quitting the foot-path to come toward-s him, upon which he warned them to keep off, as he-was armed. Shortly after, however, they rushed on him, seized his horse's bridle, and one of them holding a pistol to bis breast, demanded his. .money. The Colonel immediately drew out one of his pistols, but iri attempting to nre, it flashed in the pan in taking out the other, it fell to the ground. One of the fellows then stepped back, and said, Now, damme, I'll do for you, Si,r," and prepared to fire but being, now defenceless, the Colonel clapped spurs to his horse, which being a spirited animal, sprung with violence from the hands of the loot-pads, and carried him in a few minutes safe home, Colonel Gore, having re load- ed his pistol, re-mounted his horse, and with some attendants went in quest of the men. On coming to the spot where he was attacked, he found the pistol he had-dropped, but the fellows, had de- camp,e.d, ,and he could get no further sight-of them. Had the Colonel's- pistol gone on, the villain must inevitably have losthislife, as. tpemuzzle was within a span of his breast, and it was loaded with a ball and buck-.shot.. It is supposed they are the same persons who onFriday se'nnight stopped a gentleman and lady gpingiii a post-chaise to Bath. on ferislington Common;and treated them in a Very brutal maniier, alter having rifled them of more than a hundred potinds in cash and notes: In consequence of the late rains, the face of this country is quite changed, and is now clothed with the most, beautiful verdure; The cider countries have assumed a most favour- able appearancc, and indicate an abundant bearing of fruit this year. t, The price of butter iri Haverfordwest market has fallen two-pence per pound. At Llanelly fair, yesterday, there was a good, shew of fat cattle, and prices were rather high: oxen computed to weigh 40 score, fetched from Q2 to 23guineas; good draught oxen, ,351. per pair; milch cows with their caives, lo to 12 guineas; ewes with iambs, 15s. to 30s.; Jean cattle were very heavy of sale, owing to the scarcity of grass. At NewtowH fair, Montgomeryshire, on Tuesday last, but few cattle were sold, and those at lower prices than have been of late demanded—of pigs, many were sold low—wheat from 7s. to 7s. 6d. per customary measure of 40 quarts; A five-years-old ewe, belonging to Mr. John Ar- mistead, near Melliug, ycaned. a lamb ou the 14th ot April, and, what is very singular, yeaned ano- ther oil Saturday last, after an interval of 17 days. Neze additional stamp duty upon Conveyances of land- ed'property:—Oil bargains above 5001. and under lOOOl. value, each transler skin of parchment is to to have a '25s.stamp; above 10001. and under 20001. 30s. and so on, according to the amount of the pro- perty conveyed. Five Pounds 'lost to sâve One" Penny!-Two but- chers were last week convicted at the public-office, Coventry, in the penalty of 51. for sending- skins to tanners without being first inspected at the office appointed for that purpose. .I Committed to Gflocester gaol for one year, unless he sooner^pay a fine of 201. Stephen Woore, for hav- ing in his possession the scalp and horns of a deer. folunteers.A. curious trial came on at the Den- bighshire Assizes, held at lluthin, a few days since, beiore Judges Mansfield and Burton: It was an action brought by Mr. Robert Williams, attorney- at-law, of that town, against Messrs. Richard Hughes and William Ellis, two of the Aldermen and Justices of the Peace of Ruthin, to recover a compensation in damages ( laid at 10001.) for an assault and false imprisonment. In consequence of a meeting of the inhabitants called by the defend- ants, as Magistrates, in July last, several hundreds of persons, it appeared, enrolled their names as vo- lunteers, who assembled on the 20th of August, for the purpose of taking the oath of allegiance, which was administered in English and Welsh by Mr Ellis to 270 persons. The plaintiff was present, but did not offer-to, take the oath and at a parade on the following evening, he placed himself in the front rank: the men who had not taken the oath on the preceding day being directed to ad- vance a few paces, and form in the centre in order to their being told to attend on the morrow to take the oath, they all cheerfully obeyed, except the plaintiff, who, on being desired so to do, not only refused, but behaved very insolently; upon this the defendants ordered their constable to turn him out, which was done, and this was the ground of the action. After the evidence had been gone through,, the Chief Justice (Mansfield) proceeded to sum up, and in an impressive address to the Jury, he ridiculed the charge of imprisonment, en- forced the necessity of implicit obedience on the part of volunteers, as. insubordination would pro- duce distruction, and was of opinion the Aldenfien had done no more than they had aright to do, and what he should have done in a similar situation.— The Jury withdrew for a few minutes, and on their return gave a verdict for the defendants, to the s'a- tisfaction of a very crowded Court; upon which the Judge certified double costs to the defendants, according to the statute. Cork, May 5.—Two gentleman of this city had the curiosity to openä. vault, belonging to the family of b n the Grants, in Lower Shandon church-yard, which j had not been disturbed' for aboye-jtwenty-two years, and to theirasturiishmeiit discovered a coffin emp- ty, with the lid removed, and the corpse lying prostrate alongside of it. From the inscription on the coffin, it appeared that the body it contained was that of a Mr. Grant who was interred in the year 1782. As many instances of premature inter- ment have occurred in this country, it is highly probable that this gentleman had been only appa- rently dead, and might possibly have recovered, but for the' culpable haste of his inhumation. AGRICULTURE. Monthly Report for April- The winter's rains having been succeeded by almost constant northerly and north-east winds, vegetation lias been nearly at a standthroughout the country, and both the natural and artificial grasses are very backward; in some pafts, the latter are considerably injured. This wantofkeepmust reduce the price of lean stock. In some few quarters the sheep have suffered "Severely, from the wet first, and afterwards from the cold winds; but particularly those fat wethers which have been sheared in this unfavourable season, previous to their being driven to the London market-—a practice as cruel as it is hazardous; for, withthe view of ..saving perhaps eighteen-pence in a tieece, and perhaps nothing, the risk is incurred of the losis of five to seven shillings a-head on the sheep, which catching cold at being deprived of its extremely warm clothing at such an unfavourable season* will often lose a stone or upwards extra in weight, and more than a. shilling per stone in quality of mutton. On Easter-Sunday morning a very great blight was per- ceived in various parts, extending in some to. a consider- able distance the cifects-of which may be considerably felt by and by." The Wheats have in general planted well, and wear,at {his time a most promising appearance, excepting upon Cold and exposed hilly land, \v here they now begin, if not to fail, yet to shew plainly a want of genial spring weather, The Beaiis, and Pease are up in forward soils, and appear to. plant Well, Oats are scarcely sown-'yet, and. Barley-sowing but beginning in many parts. The heavy pda hy lands have given the farmer much trouble this spring, and indeed are. scarcely yet got into any tolerable tilth. The Mop plaiitaxiprts in Kent and Sussex have thrown out their bine uhusnally late, but it is strong and healthy. Hay continues reasonable in all counties, except near the coast, where the demand is large,for the use of the army. Lean Cattle are somewhat lower, but good stock is scarce, particularly Scotch runts, and Irish oxen. Stock Sheep have increased in value. Horses are lower, except of superior kinds, and these fetch as high prices as ever. The Wool markets are dull, and have had little or no va- riation since the last month's report. BIRTHS.
