W. Crocker, Esq. who has been returned for Dublin University. The Services connected with the Ordination of the Rev. Robert Oxlad, as Minister of the English Baptists in this town, were held on Wednesday, at the New Meeting-House, Mount-pleasant. The Rev. W. Wihterbotham, of Horseley, Gloucestershire, delivered the Introductory Addieas, asked the usual questions, and received the confession of faith. The Rev. F. A. Cox, LL.D. offered the Ordination Prayer, and delivered the Charge to the Minister, from 1st Tim. iii. 1, most eloquently and effectively enlarging on the arduous nature and excellence of the Ministerial Office, and on the energy with which the Christian Minister should devoie himself to his work. The Rev. T. Morgan, of Bir- mingham, preached to the Church from Ep. vi. 19, 20. The object of the discourse was to recommend ardour and per- severance in the duty of Prayer for the Minister. The Revs. Messrs. Newman, M.A. D. Davies, J. Buckley, and D. Peters, conducted the devotions of the congregation. The attendance throughout the day was numerous and respectable, and the services proved highly interesting. The Annual District Meeting of the Welsh Wes- teyan Methodists, which was held this year at Carmarthen, concluded on Tuesday last; it commenced on Sunday the 20ih ult. when the Rev. Morgan Griffiths, of Denbigh, at half- past two in the afternoon preached from Isaiah 10., and the Rev. John Williams, of Llanfair, at six in the evening, from Acts xx. 21. The Stationing Committee, preparatory to the General Meeting, met on Monday, the 21 st ult. at liiae in the morning. On Wednesday, the 23d, the Book Committee met, and transacted business. On Thursday, the 24th, the General Meeting commenced, and continued to meet at six o'clock every morning. On Monday, at six p. m. the Rev. W. Evans, of Pwllheli, preached from 1st Timothy ii. 4, and the Rev. William Davies, from Jainesi, 5y6. On Tuesday, at seven p.m. the Rev. H. Hughes, of Llanidloes, from Hosea xiv. 5, 6, 7, and the Rev.

On Saturday evening, the Rev. J. Buckley, of Swansea, preached ^ora Mark i*. 30, 3t, 52, and the Rev. William Batten,.of Cardiff, from Job xix. 25' 26. Ou Sunday, the 27th, the preaching was as follows, viz. two sermons at six in the morning, in Welsh, by the Rev. Lewis Jones, of Holywell, from 2d Corinthians v. 8, 9, It), and by the Rev. Evan Hughes, of Llanrwst, from 1st John iii. 2; at ten o'clock a. M,, in the Welsh Chapel, by the Rev, D. Jones, of Abervstwith, from Luke xxiv. 45, 46, 47, and by the Rev.

Humphrey Junes, of L!anid[oes, from Revelations iii. 2). It was was reported,at tiiis meeting that much good had been done through the medium of the printing-press and book-room established in North Wales that they had been able to diffuse the knowledge.of Christ beyond the limit of theircongjegatious. Tneir Monthly Magazine (with other publications) had beeii favourably received, and had had a gratifying tendency to diffuse Divine light and conciliation by its correct statements and illustrations- of the doctrines of the.Gospel, and discipline maintained by the Wesleyan Ministers. The congregations were exceedingly numerous throughout the meeting, particularly on Sunday, and the kind- ness of the inhabitants of Carmarthen, in providing for the Preachers and strangers, evinced a spirit of Christian liberality worthy of being recorded. It is to be hoped that this religious festival, for so it may with propriety be called, will long be remembered, and bring forth much fruit to the glory of God. These successive and interesting services were concluded bv the Ministers and many of-their friends receiving the Ordi- nance of the Lord's Supper together, on the evening of the Sabbath; and by an interesting Missionary meeting on the Monday, the Rev. Geo. Marsden in the Chair, when many animated speeches were delivered and much feeling excited in behalf of this great and ^ood cause It is several years since the Welsh Wesley ans held their Disfrict at Carmarthen; the ininiber of members in their Society, in Wales, is rapidly increasing, and now amounts, we are informed, to about 7000. Great preparations are making at Milford, for the reception of the Lord High Admiral, who is expected towards the latter end of this month.' About that period, the Goiiah, a beautiful 84 gun ship, built on the plan of Sir Robert Seppings, will be launched. Tuesday last, being the Anniversary of King Charles's Restoration, about .SCO members of the Benefit Society of Ancient Biitons, at Milford, assembled at their Club-Room, at the sign of the Coopers' Arms, and at eleven, A. M. went in procession, with the Band of the Royal Pem- brokeshire Militia, to Staynton Church, where a very appro- ptiate sermon was preached by the Rev. Wm. Ellis, and thence they returned to Milford;, whete a substantial and ex- cellent dinner was served up by Mis. Mumford, of the above inn.

The Ball, at the Ivy-Bush, on Tuesday evening, was opened by S. Gwynne, jun. Esq. and Mrs. Prickard. DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday se'nnight, as the Acornsloyp, ot?Carmarthen, Philipps, master, was COlli- ing alongside the quay, the wind and tide being strong up the river, she drifted rapidly. and the vviup being made fast ashore, an attempt was made to check her, when by some unfortunate circumstance, the rope was coiled about the cap- tain's leg, drew it Tip against the stanchion, and completely severed it below the calf, tearing away the muscles-com- pletely dividing the large bone, and wrenching the small bone from the knee articulatiou. The severttd part of the leg was thrown to some distance by the uncoil of the rope. Amputation above the knee was immediately resoited to, and we are happy to add, that the suiFeier goes on favourably. BRISTOL THEATRE.—This place of amusement closed for the season on Monday se'nnight, with what the Manager never objects to, a bumper, particularly at his benefit. Fashion and taste graced the circle, and a crowded house evinced the general esteem in which Mr. M'Cready is held by the inha- bitants of Bristol. The entertainments afforded the utmost satisfaction, and his farewell address was neat, appropriate. and expressive of his gratitude for the encouragement he had been honoured with, which enabled him to prove that this city was capable of supporting Theatre, independent of, and unconnected with any other concern. Mr. M'Cready stated, that he purposed returning, as usual, to the September Fair, and that the intermediate period should be occupied in fresh endeavours to merit a continuance of public favour and pro- tection. He was interrupted repeatedly with applause, and several rounds after he left the stage testified the sense of the audience.—Bristol Mirror. At the Swansea Pelty Sessions, on Tuesday last, Rees Bowen was committed to the House of Correction at Cowbridge, to take his trial at the next Quarter Sessions, for uttering counterfeit shillings 011 Saturday last. Such of our readers its feel interested in the efforts now so generally ranking for the promotion of the moral and religious improvement of British seamen, will no doubt be gratified to know, that a Mariners' Church, erected between Newport and Pilgwenlly, Monmouthshire, was opened on Wednesday last. As this is the first place of worship erected in the Principality for the accommodation of seamen, it is hoped the religious public will liberally support it. A public meeting was held at Hereford on Friday last, when an address to Mr. Peel and other retired Ministers, was adopted, highly expressive of the approval by the meet- ing of the course of policy adopted by JVJr. Peel and other seceding Ministers. On Saturday next the notes of Messrs. Bodenham, Jay, & Co. will commence paying in full, and also a dividend of 10s. in the pound on all deposits, at the Bank of Messrs. Matthews, Phillips and Lye, in this city.-Hereford Journal. The aspect which the country now wears from the effects of the late genial rains, is most satisfactory and en- couraging. The wheat plants have acquired strength, and Jook altogether luxuriantly and kindly the spring corn is growing rapidly and vigorously; and gives equal promise; whilst the meadows and pastures furnish a truly gratifying coutrast to their appearance last season, and exhibit already the assurance to the farmer that lie has not now to fear the recurrence of those evils and difficulties which their scanty produce of the last year occasioned him. A considerable blight has appeared on the apple trees in many situations in Herefordshire during the last week, which, however, may be regarded more beneficial than injurious to them, for if they realized half the produce which the extraordinary blossom promised at one time, the trees would doubtless be so exhausted, as to leave few hopes of a crop of apples for some years to come. The orchards in this neighbourhood, and through- out this and the adjoining counties, were perhaps never before covered with such a profusion of blossom as at this period. Uncertain as (lie pttiduce of cider generally is, the advanced state of the season and the strong and plentiful fruit-bearing which the trees now exhibit, allow 110 doubt whatever of a crop of apples quite sufficient to replenish all the exhausted cider casks.;—Taunton Courier. Satorclay a meeting was held at Cheltenham, for the purpose of raising a fund for the erection of a Free Church, for the accommodation of the increasing population of that place; when upwards of 5001. was subscribed before the Meeting broke up. Among the donations the names of Lord Sherbone appeared for 10QL the Lord Bishop of Gloucester, 501.; A. Rosenhagen, Esq. 501.; and the Rev. C. Simeon, 1001. The Sinall-pox is very prevalent in the neighbour- hood of Berkeley, and numbers of children are suffering much from the unaccountable prejudices of their parents. That this should be the case in the very scene which gave birth to the invaluable discovery of Vaccination by the immortal Jenner, affords another proof of the applicability of the old adage, that truly a prophet has no honour in his own country. The Poor Rates for the parish of Broomfield, Somer- setshire, were, 100 years ago, 301. per annum; 50 years ago they amounted to 48t. per annum; and are now 2501, per annum. Should they increase in the same ratio for the next 2.5 yurs, they will swallow up the teiltal of the whole parish. In cases of Seduction and Breach of Promise, the Judges, in our opinion, have lutely laid down two very whole- some rules. One is. that where the complaining parents, while encouraging the addresses of yourig men to their daughters, do not inform the parents of the young men of their proposals or intentions, the parties shall not be entitled to damages. The second is, that parents cannot substantiate a claim to compensation, if they have been so careless as to leave their daughters sitting up with their suitors for hours after themselves and the rest of the family have retired to bed. The last judicial dictum, especially, will do much good. Friday evening about five o'clock, as Mr. Matthews, Basket-maker, in St. Maryport street, Bristol, was coming out of his Withy-bed in Barrow-lane, near Barton-hill, he ob- served three men seated upon a heap of stones, dividing some property on seeing Mr. M. who was accompanied by a friend, they took the alarm, and two of them escaped, but one was secured, with six watchen, several seals, silver snuff box. &c. on his person, which upon investigation proved to be the property of Mr. Abrahams.—The other two with an ac- complice were taken by Mr. M. and his fl¡end on Sunday. The rest of the gang it is hoped will be discovered above four have been duly committed to goal. The average price of Wheat in the maritime dis- tricts of Wales is at this time higher than in any other part of the country. In the week ending May ) i. 591 quarters were solrl in Nurth Wales at all average of 6.5s. 6d. per Winchester quarter; whilst in South Wales, 1U8 quarters were sold at an average of ô2s. 4d. The general average of all England (56s. 8d.) does not reach the average of Noith Wales by the sum of 8s. IOd. per quarter. The lowest return is from Sussex, being 53s. 9d. per quarter. Barley is also ill South Wales 10s. 8d. above the average price in England; IInd ill North Wales 6s. 8d. The general average of Oats is 30s. 7d.; in North Wales the price is 5d. lower, and iii South Wales 3s. fid. The highest return is from Gloucestershirc. being an average of 41s. lod.-Foreigil Oats are now allowed to be Imported at a duty of 4d. per quaiter, About four columns of itic Norwich Mercury of Saturday last are emphatically headed "Norwich, a Port." It seems that neatly nine years since Aldermau Crisp Brown first proposed to his fellow citizens a pIau for making "the liver to Y armouth navigable for ships of burthen, and thereby effecting the transport of goods to distant ports without relading but a bill for the same, or, rather, to a better end, namely for a navigation by Lowestoft-a passage of the ocean unimpeded by any uncertain barriers,—after much opposition by the Yarmouth Corporation, encouraged b) unaccounted-for lukewarmness in a part of the Corporation of Norwich itself, has finally been sanctioned by the Legislature, and supported by the Naval Administration of the country. MURDER OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND,—Tuesday morning a man named Afaesbury, and his wife, who lived in or near the parish of Wedmore^ Somersetshire, and whose chief employment was the raising and selling of turf, had been in the tin/or adjoining to woik, whete some angry words arose between them, in consequence, it is said, of the supposed .adulterous or improper intercourse of the husband with some other women these words ended in blows. The parties, however, returned home, when similar angry feeling and words again arose, which also ended in blows; and the hus- band gave the wife a blow which terminated her life 011 the spot! The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the husband, who is fully committed 011 the coroner's warrant for trial.

To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. SIR,—Sonie time ago I suggested, in your Paper, that it might add much to the security of passengers in steam-vessels, were the room occupied by the steam-boiler strongly parti- tioned out from the rest of the vessel, as in. that case, were the steam-boiler to burst, its effects would be upwards, which would be in the direction where it would meet least opposition. The paragraph in your last week's paper, respecting the bursting of Mr. Stofhart's (of Bath) steam-boiler seems to me a proof of what I advanced. The account says, the upper part of the steam boiler gave way, and though the stea.m car- ried thcToof of the house off, yet there were men near It, alld only one of them seriously hurt. Itappearstomethemen owed their safety to the lower part of the steam-boiler re- maining entire, which prevented the steam from acting in a lateral direction. W.
