SWANSEA PETTY SESSIONS. These Sessions were held at the Townhall. on Tues- day last, before the Revs. Wm. Hewson, D.D., S. Davies, and Colonel Cameron. Wm. Harris and ThoR, Owen were bronglit forward, to answer to the charge of having assaulted David Daniel. This case arose out of the strike among the coppermeti. Mr. Chas. Grenfet), one of the partners in the Middle Bank Co., was in attendance as a witness, if required. It appeared that the two defendants were employed as watch- man and gaieman in the Middle Bank VV orks, while the complain- ant was one of the men who had joined the 11 strike." The latter stated, that a boot eleven o'clock on the night of Saturday last, when returning home from one of the meetings of his clnb, held at a public-house, in the village of Lansamlet, when on that part of the highroad immediately opposite the Middle Bank Works, the two defendants ran ap from the Works towards him. On nieeting bim, Harris laid bold of the stock which was about his neck, and twisted it in snch a manner as would have choked liini had not the fastening given way, at the name time saying, What did vou want to throw stones down towards the Works?" Com- plainant most positively denied having done so, when Harris "aid" You are a liar." Thos. Owen then joined in the assaolf, and laid Iwld- oj. complainant's both arms, so as to prevent self. defence. While the both were in the act of assaulting him, they cried ont for assistance, when four men passed them, but did not interfere. The defendants ttien desired complainant to go home, which the latter did.—In his cross-examination by Mr. Tripp, who attended on behalf of the defendants, Daniel said, that he had not been standing over the Works for any lime; he was on the rmd home-I hat was the only way to his home. Afler huing assaulted him, the "\0 defendants did not say- As you are if member of the chapel, we will take no notice of it this time."— Mr. Tripp submitted, that, looking at the relative position of the IHlrlirs-lhe complainant as one of the men who had struck, and the defendants as persons taking charge of the Works, the assault was of too trifling H nature to merit punishment, and therefore he contended the case ought lo be dismissed Evidence could be adduced to prove 'lint stones had been thrown into the Works, at the time, and that some of the men who had struck were very indignant that others worked.-Col^Cameron said, such evidence wonld have no effect in the case, II the defendants thought that the stones had been tbiown by complainant, it would have been aullicient for them to identify him, without assaulting hilll. The fact of his being one of the strikers" gave them no greater right to do so, than if they bad aasaulted him (Col. C.), or any other gentleman.—Dr. Hewson took the same view of the cast-, but observed, thai, considering the defendants were in authority in the Worittfeand knowing that stones had been thrown, the as- Fault wits AM, very trifling nature and told complainant that the case might have been dismissed, and the costs he incurred by him.—Complainant said, he bad come there to vindicate his ulia- racier he would rather pay away all he had. than lose his character.—Defendants were then lined 6d., and 7s. costs. Anne Alacdonald, of Myrlon, a very old woman, charged Mary Gwynne with having assaulted her. The parties lived next door to each other, and on the morning of last Sunday week, the old woman found that her house was filled with water, a circumstance nhe attributed lo defendant's conduct, in having placed a quantity of rubbish, to the obstruction of the couise of the water. When complainant remonstrated with Mary Gwvnne. the latter pushed her until she fell backwards. The old woman, who evidentl y bordered on garrulily. afforded the audience considerable amuse- ment. She said that the defendant had been round Ihe village," to endeavour to procure a bad character for her (complainant) but she had as gooil a character as complainant; and the old ladv added, with considerable emphasis Aye, and belter, loo," (Laughter).—The defendant called her mother as a witness o prove that lit" old woman came forward, and charged them with bavin? caused the wafer to flow into her house, at the same time using very t iolet/1 language, and that she fell (lown in turning, defendant not having touched her. I he Magistrates dismissed the case. Robert Johnson, the mate of the Eliza SOl/ler, nr Sunderland, charged William Petty, the master of the vessc-l, with having! assaulted him. Complainant, who had his arm in a sling, said, 'hat the vessel came to the port of Swansea on Friday, and was placed alongside one of M r. Richardson s vessels, for the purpose of getting the ballast discharged. The ballast-men came on board, and could not well agree with the master about the charge for discha rjjiug. However, the cOlllplalllflnl had ordered them to discharge in a particular way, while the mf-ster, who was Ihe worse fur liquor," wished them to adopt another method. After having his own wav, lie returned to the first method, and after- wards changed his mind, ar.d determined upon doing the work in enoltier wav. Aller changinif four or five times, he became im- patient, and peremptory I told complainant, (iet the bal last ou t." The latter said, We shall get it out by and bye The captain then struck complainant on the side of the head, and alterwaids struck him against the winch until he became disabled.—Thomas Jolin.,oti and Thomas Goddard, shipmates, corroborated com- plainant s statement. 1 lie defendant did not deny having strnok the mate, hot said that the latter had. made use of abusive lan- tfuage. and lie denied being intoxicated—that was the first time lie had been called a drunkard.—Complainant said that the wit- ness Goddard ai'd liimsel! put the captain to bed that night, when the latter was ••quite dfunk. —Tbe Magistrates censured dt- feiKltfrit for sif!h H))d told liim that were the facts which had transpired in Court known lo his owners, they would not go Inr towards recommending him. I lie Magistrates also reocm- luended that, as the parties were to sail in the same vessel, the case should be settled IIL" ol Couit. After having retired for a sttort time, an arrangement was entered into.—The defendant paid costs. Anna Rees was charged with having assaulted Raehael Rees. Both parlies resided on the Strand, and a quarrel took place be. tween ihem, which ended iu blows. One ol the belligerents ex- hibited to the bench a handful of hair, which she stated had been rooted out ol her head. The Magistrates being ol opinion that fault lay with both parties, dismissed the case. There were a few other trilling cases disposed of. KiiDL'CTlox IN Rtivrs. — Mr Bowen, Llwyngwair, at his audit oil Tuesday se'niiight, at Langhai ne, returned ten per cent, to his tenants of the rent for the last half-year. He äl.o diil the sallie at Mydrim on Ihe following (fay—. eorge Smiih, E*q.,of Foe la tl i, Cardiganshire, has inst i ttcied liis agent Mr. Robert Sihhald, to make a reduction lit 15 per cent, in his rents as a temporary relief to his tenantry owing to the depressed state of the times. NEATH TONYNHALL, A ttq 25,- Before F. Fredricks, Howel Gwyn, and G. Lewellyn, Esqrs.— Jane Harris wils charged by Jane Howeil, both of Skewen, ill the parish nf Cadoxton-jnxta-Neaih, with having assaulted her by throwing salt in her face. The defendant was only ordered to pay 5s. including costs. Paid.—Few other cases that were of no public iiiteiesl were allowed to he serrletl out of Court.— Tuesday, 2$th. — Before the Mayor, Howel Gwyn, Esq.— William Giiffith Hughes, shoemaker, was charged with being tottnd begging, and rppresentiim himself to lie one of the coppetmen who wall ont of enipiov. He was severely reprimanded and discharged—with an order that he should immediately leave the town. A little hov, three years old, son of Howell Jenkin, collier, of MelingiythaB, near Neath, "as found drowned in a Small brook, which passes Dear ihe house. This is the ttixth accident, within a very short period, of a similar nature that has happened in this neighbourhood.

At a Meeting of the parishioners of Penally, Pem- brokeshire, held in the School-room, on the 28th nit., the Churchwarden in the chair, the following resolutions, among others, were ag eed to :— That the Poor-law Commissioners, having refused lo.anction a redaction in the salaries of the officers of the Pembroke Union, which was proposed by the Guardians, and acceded to by the medical officers, and of whose services the Commissioners do approve, we consider it to be an unwarrantable interference on their part and, although the Act of Parliament may give them the power of naming the salaries for the officers, il neller could have been contemplated, tnat they were to fix them at a larger amount than which the Guardians can get the duty performed for properly, and we call on Ihe B. ard to resist it. That the Commissioners not residing in the neighbourhood, and whose manner of living is likely to b. expensive, from the large salaries derived from their offices, and from not having a local knowledge of the country, we consider that thev are not so well qualified to decide what would be a fair remuneration to the oilicers for services to be performed, as what the Guardians are, and who ought to have a knowledge of the locality of the country, and the duty 10 be performed and that we consider that the Poor-law would be carried out better without the Commissioner* than with them, as their interference has only been to increase our expense, while they report, at different times, the good the measures introduced have on the country :—but, when comparing it with that which appears to be the oase in the neighbourhood, we can place but very little faitb in it. The above meeting was numerously attended, and the resolutions were signed by nearly all present.—Another meeting was held at Gunfrestou, on the 29th alt., when similar resolutions were unanimously agreed to. ROBBEKY OF A TRADING-VESSKL BY HER CRF.W.— The schooner Peamore, of Exeter, Captain Peek, sailed from this port about a month at;o with a full cargo of iron and tin plates. She arrived at Newcastle, where she duly delivered her cargo, and took in another for Exeter. While at the latter port, some of her crew went to the shop of an iron- monger in that city, a Mr. Foreacre, and offered some tin plates for sale, which he, being a respectable tradesman, very properly declined to purchase, and suspecting that the men had not come honestly by the property, gave information to the police. A constable followed the men, and observed them go into another ironmonger's shop, where they also offered the plates for sale, when the policeman endeavoured to take litem into custody. He succeeded in detaining one, the others making their esenpe, btU leaving the stolen pro- perty behind litem. The man was safely lodged, and appli- cation being made to Captain Peek, he instituted enquiries, when one of the boys explained the whole affair. It appears that the crew—four in number—had entered into a regular league of plunder, and that 011 the voyage thev were accustomed, when they found an opportunity. to go from the forecastle info the hold of the vessel, and then opening the boxes, took as many plates out of each as they thought would not be missed. The quantity found with the men by the constable, together with a considerable quantity after- wards discovered secreted in the men's be ths. amounted in the whole to 4 cwt. One of the crew is in custody, and the police are iu pursuit of the remainder. Monmouthshire Merlin. BRISTOL ASSIZES.—At these Assizes, the following cases, possessing some local interest, wore disposed of: — Hud Jen v. Buckltotd.—Mr. Montague Smith opened the plead- ings, and Mr. Crowder stated the case 10 the jury. Hc SHid they would have no trouble, as he understood there was no one present to oiler any opposition to the claim of the plaintiff. T|,e plaintiff clttimed, as secretary to the Cambrian Iron and Spelter Company, a very Iar?e sum of money from the defendant, a sum amounting to 88361, 16s.. and which was made up of tWIJ parh, one, a portion of 3062/. 10s. dne tor calls on shares held bv the defendant as a proprietor in the company, and the remainder of 571,tl. (5s. for moneys received by the defendant, as manager of the works, over and above his disbursements. The company was established in 1838, when the iron trade was lar better than at the present time i< was situated nt Neath, and the works had been carried on UI: to Ihe present time. The defendant was a member of the company, and took a very active part in the commencement of the speculation. The capital to be raised bv the company was 300,000/ and the defendant took at first 100 shares, at i>5/. per share, and subsequently increased tho number 1030; A deposit ot 21. lOs, per share was paid, and cat's were made from time to time as the directors judged fit. The first five culls were paid by the defendant, hut lie became indebted for four additional calls'; so that on that head he hfcame indebted for 21. lOs, on each call for his 305 shares, making a sum of 3050/ to which was to be added a balance of 121, 10s. dne on a former call, being together 10s. The defendant was also intrusted with the manage- ment of the works at Neath, and had to pay and receive moneys, f/econtinued the management from June, 183S, to February, 184' and he forwarded eveiy month to the secretary of the company ah account of his receipts and disbursements. From those, his own accounts, there uppeared a balance due from him to the company, at the time 01 his quitting; their employ, of ,')1/4/. 6s" which, with the ainoiit due on the calls, made tbe snin of hSOCyl. IDs., for which tbe company now sued him. Evidence having been niten of the above facts, and no defence olTdred, the jury found for the plaintifl* for the amount claimed. Execution for 4000/. was granted iu three weeks Brntiel v. Goodrich and Others rs, YJ-Mr. Cock burn and Mr. Butt Appeared for the ptnintifF j Mr. Sergeant Hompas for titedefenditnt Goodrich; Messrs.

The personal remuneration was stated bv Mr. Cockborn. ill-his opening, to he a very small portioll of the gross 111101-2;),11. The defendants were gentlemen of fortune connected with loivns through which the railway was intended to pass, and who, it was alleged, had taken an active part in the preliminary meetings, in 1830, at which the plaintilV was appointed engineer, and directed to make tlie survey. They all, by their pleading?, denied their liability, and also pleaded Ihe statute 01 limitations. Although the case occupied a long time, there was nothing in the details of all interesting character, the evidence principally contesting of documents from which it was sought to fix the liability of the defendants.—His Lord-hip more than "nee suggested an arrange- j meni, and it was at length agreed to take a verdict for the plaintiH, subject to a reference.

THE MEETING AT ALLTWEN, NEAR PONTARPAWE. A Meeting of Farmers and others, was held at the above place, on Tuesday evening last, for the purpose, according to the jVelsh notice, which h&d been circulated, "of considering tbe causes of -the present unprecedented distress of the farmers, and other inhabitants of the parishes of Langtiicke, Kilybebyll, and Ystiadguolais, and also for tbe purpose of devising remedies thereto." The meeting was held in a field nearPontardawe, where a plat. form had been erected, on which were tables provided for the accommodation of reporters. [We must take this opportunity of observing, that parties underlakingto prepare platforms for public meetings, should construct those of such strength somewhat pro. portionate to the weight they might probably be required to sus- tain, instead of endangering the limbs of public speakers and others, as at the present meeting, where the platform broke down," and portions of it more than once, by which one of the reporters was precipitated to the sawpit below.] The numbers present nnounted to between fourteen and eiatheen hundred persons, consisting of freeholders, fanners, farm-labour- ers, and prities connected with the collieries and other works in the neighbourhood. It appeared that no resolutions had been prepared by tbe parties who had convened the meeting, and no persons had selected any gentleman to be proposed as chairman. Some delay consequently ensued, as several gentlemen present declined permitting themselves to be proposed. Mr. BENJ. HILL, at last, came forward to explain the cause of the delay. He said, that many of the gentlemen present declined, from diffidence, allowing themselves 10 be proposed. It had been suggested that be (Mr. H.) should be proposed. Though he would rather decline the honour, as there were many present more capable of performing the duties, yet, rather than delay the business, if any person would propose him, ai d tbe meeting agree to such proposal, he would be perfectly willing to act to the best of his ability —Mr. Hill having been proposed and seconded, was unanimously elected Chairman. The CHAIRMAN then said, that printed notices had been circu- lated, stating tbe objects for which the meeting had been convened, yet, as all persons might not have had an opportunity of reading them, he would briefly explain the purpose of the meeting. They were perfectly aware that he could not address them very fluently in Welsh, but after having volunteered himself to their service, he must work with the instruments he was possessed ot, rather than seek for better. If thev looked to the length and breadth of the land, thev perceived that poverty and distress were prevalent. The object of the meeting was to inquire into the origin of this disastrous state of affairs—to see if any measures could be suggested for bringing about some change for the better. It was probable—though all acknowledged the existence of the deeepest distress—though all felt the disease—that all would not agree that the same remedy would perform the cure. He would only say, let each man stand up and explain his own views, and he f the Chairman) would endeavour to give themall fair play. The farmer yttell knew, that after exerting himself to the utmost of his abililv, from one year's end to tbe other, and paving bis rent, &c., that he had nothing left for the mninlenance of his family. The labourer, after working hard from week to week, could Dot procure bread for his family. How could this state of things be remedied? The colliers might be inclined 10 say, We wlllstaud out, and decline working, until the masters give us a fair price." He would say, that would not do, for masters, as well as workmen, felt the effect of the general dis- tress. The question, then, was—Why did the farmer nnd. after all his labour, exertions, and economy, that at the year's end, after paying his landlord's rent, the assessed laxes, the police rate, and the county stock rate, he had nothing left for the main- tenance, in comfort, of himself and family. They were assembled for the purpose of proposing some remedial measures. They would take care not to transgress the law. He presumed that his friend Mr. Jenkins would suggest the measures which, in his opinion, would be most conducive to the interests of the country, and the meeting might either assent to. or dissent from, his pro- positions. Any other persons might in the same manner submit their views to the meeting. He would take that opportunity of saving, that both Mr. Martin and Mr. Leach had been requested to take the chair at the meeting, and both had expressed their regret at being unable, from prior engagements, to attend. He would offer no apology for being chairman—any man might be chairman They were met to inquire into the grievances them- selves. Unless tliey would exert themselves, nobody would do so for them. He wished thetf to act up to the old English motto, God helped them who helped themselves He was prepared to hear any observations. A person in the crowd, said, that several persons in the meeting wished to hear explained the position of this country, witti regard to its trade with foreign countries. Mr. JENKINS, M.A., after some observations from Mr. Joues, which were inaudible to us, observed, that the meeting had not been called to propose any remedies before, in the first place, inquiring into the causes of the existing distress. Let each speak from his own experience They were not assembled as persons determintd to support one party or the other, but that each might relate hi* own experience of the distressed condition of the country, then they miltht look at the remedies. Let them enquire the reason why the working man did not procure a fair day's wages for a fair day's work Whv, after working twelve hours or more in the day, he was unable to maintain his family. There must be some great and radical causes for ibis state of the country. The REV. JOHN JAMES, Unitarian Minister, observed, that when he attended the meeting, it was not his intention to take part in any of the proceedings. He had a great objection lo speak at political meetings, because what he spoke was liable to be mis- represented but all there were reporters present at that meeting, he was confident such would not be the case on that occasion. He seldom interfered in politics. Though forty-five years of age, be had drawn up but one petition to Parliament during his whole life-lime, and that was a petition against the New Poor-law. There had been much glorying and rejoicing at the time the Re- form Bill was passed. The landlords were then going to let thetr lands for nothing, and the tenants were to live as gentlemen. He (Mr. J.) then told his friends that they would be deceived. He thought all farmers would now tell him that be bad told them the truth. He had, bis windows then broken for opposing the Reform Bill, but no person would do so now. He then told farmers that Tithes were oppressive. They said no, but they would not say so now. Two years after the passing of that bill great distress visited them Then came the Poor-law, after the enactment; of which, it was said, no person could starve. He had then said that thousands would starve, and his prophesy had been verified. He then said that the Poor-law would be at a future time kept up by the force of arms, and so it had. Let the towns of Swansea, Carmarthen, Cardigan, Newcastle-Etnlyn, and other places bear testimony to the fact. Lord John Russell had stated that, by the passing of that bill, two millions of money had been saved, while the fact was, that many millions had been taken from the poor, 8.'1 well as from general circulation, alld given those who had (00 much riches beforc- to tbe numerous officers whose incomes were increased by. anJ who rejoiced at, the distress of I he people. If the old law were again put in operaiion, poor people would go to their respective parishes and procure plenty of food, and the farmers would feel a pleasure in dispensing to the poor the rates contributed by themselves. They would see that the poor re- ceived the whole, He remembered that when the Romans, in ancient times, gol iolo confusion, they retraced their steps, JlnJ re-enacted the laws of their ancestors. So he (Mr. James) would say, our Government should act—do away with the new Poor-law, and re enact the old and if the people would co-operate in that, it would be a much more legitimate way of getting rid of their grievances than by night prowling and tbe destruction of gates and toll-houses. He would say that the New Poor-law was almost the sole cause of distress," by keeping such a large amount of money out of circulation. The relief afforded the poor in their own parishes would be expended by them in those parishes. They ought to get rid of this law rather than listen to persons who went through the country telling people that one measure and another wonld better their condition. He (Mr. James) occa- sionally read a journal which called the Times newspaper the lying Times; he thought that journal merited that apptllation rather than the Times, for he was happy 10 say that he lound the Times very consistent in its opposition to the New Poor-law, in spite of much opposition, and at the risk of offending many •« great men." who were its supporters. That powerful journal bad already overthrown Lord Melbourne's administration by the ex- posure of this monstrous law, and it would overthrow Sir Robert Peel s government unless he would abolish the law. Were that were done by him, he might be the most popular man in Earope —-Mr. James then proposed a resolution condemnatory of the New Poor-law, which, having been seconded, was carried unanimously. —Mr. James afterwards proposed a vote of thanks to the Editor of the Times, for his consistent opposition to the New Poor-law, which was also seconded and carried unanimously Mr. POWELL, the Reporter of the Tones, acknowledged the compliment. He said he could not address them in Welsh, but he was happy to (ind them opposed to the New Poor-law, which he thought a very cruel law. He thanked them for the compli- ment paid by them to the Editor of the Times. He hoped the Editor would continue to merit their thanks, and that when he ceased to merit it, they would cease to give their thanks. The CHAIRMAN then observed, that the meeting had heard Mr. James s opinions as to the cause of the prevailing distress. He (the Chairman) coincided with what had been spoken by Mr. James, but the New Poor-law could not be the sole cause ofdis. tresS. There must he some great grievances besides the Poor. law. He wonld be glnd to hear the opinions (if farmers. A person, named DAVID LEWIS, then rose to read some statis- tical observations from A book written by Mr. Colquhoun, who was, he stated, a great political economist. The statistics went to sho," the great difference between the incomes of a certain number of the working or productive classes, and of the unpro- ductive classes. To the great disproportion between the incomes of the two classes that writer mainly attributed the distress. The RF.V. J. JAMES could not agree in the npinion quoted by the last speaker. The distress did not proceed from the large incomes of the upper classes. It was frequently stated that the Queen spent so many thousands on a dinner He was of opinion such things did not produce distress, for all the money so ex- pended returned in some shape to the people. He was aware that when the nobility and gentry expended their incomes out of the country they did an injury, but not otherwise, for farmers and others were bettered by the expenditure of lar;;e incomes. Mr. James reiterated his opinion that the New Poor-law was the cause of I he present distress. Mr. JENKINS. M.A., apologised to the meeting for his speaking Welsh but imperfectly, for though by birth a Welshman, he had spent a great portion of his lifetime out of Wales He hoped they would have the patience 10 attend to him for a few mi, ules, He agreed with many of the opinions expressed Ly Mr. James, but there were olher causes why the farmer and the shopkeeper suffered—why the persons employed in the various manufactories, after labouring twelve, thirteen, and sometimes fifteen hours, cou1d barely oblain a livelihood. He was of opinion, that though a good poor-law might be bencficial, yet it was infinitely better to keep people independent of any poor-law. It would be better to raise the price of labour than enact a good poor-law, for Pro- vidence undoubtedly intended that everv diligent man could pro- vide for the wants of his family. Mr. Jenkins then proceeded to show, I hat the low price of lahour was caused by Ihe disproporl ion existing between the f*ipply and the demand He illustrated this \VeIl, known theory, by supposing that eighty men WHe required in any works at Pontardawe, while one hundred offered rheIn" selves, the price of labour would be lower than if seventy only- had offered themselves. The speaker then showed how trie do- mand for labour decreased with the decrease in the demand for the viiriotts kinds of manufactures, and how the decrense ill the demand for manufactures was caused by the prohibitory duties iii.-pi sed by our Government Oil 'he productions 01 foreign countries. He would shew the effect of the Corn Laws upon our trade with the Americans, who formerly took a great portion of our iron and manufactured goods, but as this country could not take in return any of their corn, in consequence of the high duty imposed thereon, their Government soon imposed a duty upon our iron and our other productions, amnunting, ill some instances, lo 50 per cent., which immediately decreased the demand, and the low price oflabour followed as a natural result. Mr. Jenkins then showed, from statistical returns, how our trade witli Ger- many, and other continental countries, decreased from the same cause, while the duties thus impo-ed did not enrich the treasury nfthe country, hut went into the pockets of the landed proprietors. Mr Jenkins then explained the difference between taxntion for the pioteciion of the agricultural interests, as it was called, and taxation for revenue purposes. Ile contended, that the taxation for the benefit of the lauded interests amounted to 10s. upon svery quarter of corn and taking Mr. J. Deacon Hume's calcula tion, that on the average each of the twenty-six millions in our country consumed one quarter in the year. that would gi, e thirteen millions ss the amount paid for protection to the landlords. The proleclive duties and indirect taxes paid on all articles, amounted to a hundred millions per annum, while direct taxation amounted lo no more than fifty millions. The duties on sugar were imposed upon the same principle. The landlords wssisled the West India [iroprietors to keep up the sugar duties, wbik' tbe tatter, in return • helped tbe landlords to maintain the corn and provision | Tbe effect of the combination was, that every pound of sugar consumed by the people of this country, was enhanced 3d. to 3^d. in price. Mr. Jenkins then explained to tbe meeting, at consi- in price. Mr. Jenkins then explained to tbe meeting, at consi- derable length, the principles of free-trade—how every country had some superfluities, consisting either of tbe productions of the soil, or what was produced by the ingenuity, industry, and skill of the inhabitants. We bad a superabundance of iron, and other manutactufes, white there was a superabundance of food on the banks of the river Mississippi; but the laws of this country, in effect, said—" You cannot interchange commodities. Mr. J. then adverted to the restrictive duties imposed by the French Government upon British iron, which was thereby enhanced to the people of that country. He also contended, that the Corn Laws were of no benefit to the farmer, whose prosperity depended upon that of commerce. Corn Laws bad, ever since their first enactment, deceived tbe farmer. One corn-law fixed tbe price of corn at 80s. The farmer took his lease, or stipulated 10 pay bis rent, on the supposition that corn would be kept at that price; but it soon fell much below. The farmer consequently had to pay rent out of his capital. The next attempt made WHS, to fix the price at 72s., soon after which it fell to 40s. Sir Robert Peel's Corn-law, which had been lately passed, wss enacted with the professed object of keeping corn at 56s. but it had fallen to 47s. since that modification of the Corn-law was passed. Mr. Jenkins concluded by showing, that the importation of foreign cattle bad contributed little or nothing to the depression of agri- culture, for the number of cattle imported would not provide one dinner for half the populalion of London. The above is but an outline of Mr. Jenkins s address, the subject having been so re peatedly before our readers, it is deemed unnecessary to enter into details.—Mr. J. then submitted to the meeting a resolution in favour of free trade. Mr. REES THOMAS, farmer, seconded the resolution. The REV. J. JAMES rose to propose an amendment. He thought distress was not caused bv the Corn snd Provision Laws. Landed proprietors frequently gave bread to the poor, which the manufacturers did not do. The home market was tbe principal support of the manufacturing interest, but the New Poor-law destroyed that market The Corn-laws litid been twenty-eight years in existence, and no distress equal to the present had existed. Mr. Jenkins had said that he would supply them with books to read on the subject. He (Mr. James) would inform them, that the books were sent by the Anti Corn-law League, who had sub- scribed fifty thousand pounds for (he purpose of distributing tracts, and paying persons for preaching against the Corn-laws. He thought people did not sufficier tlv understand politics to in. terfere in subjects of that kind.—Mr. James then moved an amendment to the effect •• that the present distress was not attri- butable to the Corn-laws, but that the New Poor-law wa.. the principal cause of the existing distress." Mr. THOMAS, who seconded Mr. Jenkins's proposition, said, that it was not necessary to understand much politics to know that thepeopieofthis country wanted bread, and that the Corn-laws shul it out of I be coul/try, He WitS confident, as a farmer, thllt the Corn-laws were of no benefit to him, and he had heard nothing from Mr. James to induce him to withdraw his support from the free trade resolution. Mr JOHN THOMAS then addressed the meeting, and said ibat he did not dispute Mr James's opinion that the Poor-law was one cause of distress, but be thought it was not the only or prin- cipal cause. He was of opinion it arose, in a great measure, from tbe want of feeling and sympathy between the wealthier and poorer classes of society. The speaker tbeu proceeded to com- pare the British constitution to the human body, which was formed of many members, and contended that one class should feel for another like all the members of the bodv suffered whtm one was injured He found fault not only with the Corn-laws, but with the Game-laws, which kept from the poor man the fish of the river as well ItS the fowls of heaven, and all oiher restrictive laws. The CHAIRMAN submitted the proposition in favour of Free Trade to tbe meeting and Mr. James s amendment-the former was almost unanimously carried, about thirty hands having been held up for the latter. The REV. W. THOMAS then addressed the meeting in a power- ful speech He reminded them of Nelson's motto, England expects every man to do his duty," and he would advise them to act unanimously, then they would see the New Poor-law, whioh he characterised as the devil in flesh," and the Corn-laws and all bad laws abolished. He referred to many instances recorded in Scripture, in which unanimity had contributed to extraordi- nary success. He also illustrated his remarks by a reference to the bee and the ant, and concluded by saying, that if the people acted together" in a peaceful and legitimate way, all bad laws would fall like Dagon before the ark of God." Mr. JENKINS, after a few observations in reply to Mr. James's remarks relative to the Anti Corn-law League, submitted to the approval of the meeting tbe following Petition, which was unani- mously agreed to :— To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty. "The bumble and dutiful petition of the undersigned free- holders, fanners, and others, inhabitants of the several parishes of Languicke, Kilybebill, and Ystaogontais. assembted in public meeting at Pontardawe, in the comity of Glamorgan, this 29th day of Auglhl, 1843, sbeweth— That your Majesty's petitioners reside in a district of the country, which in respect of obedienoe to the laws, tbe peaceable demeanor of its inhabitants, and their loyal affection 10 your Ma- jesty s person, has hitherto yielded to no part of yoor Majesty's dominions. Thai yoor Majesty's petitioners view with alarm the progress of distress in this neighbourhood — a distress which extends equally to all classes and trades, to the retail dealer, the farmer, and 10 the workman as well as to the manufaclurer. That your Majesty's petitioners conceive that the distress in which they, nnd others of your Majesty's sobjecln, are at present involved, arises principally from the want of demand for thp. pro- duce of British industry and that thecanse of the want of such demand is 10 be sought for in those impedimenls to II free inler- change of Ihe commodities of different countries, imposed in Ihe form of protecting duties. And your Majesty's petitioners conceiving Ihal, by tbe course of legislalion adopted during the late session of Parliament that body has declared itself inadequate to meet the present circutn- stxnces of the country, humbly pray your Majesty to exercise yourroyat prerogative, to dissolve the present Parliament, and summon a new one, with directions to lake into its moslllerioUI consideration the present condition of the country, and to devise measures whereby its commercial prosperity may be restored— the demand for the produce of British industry may be rendered commensurate with the IlIpply-and the happiness of all classes of your Majesty's subjects be promoted. And your Majesty's petitioners, &c," A Correspondent, residing at Llanon, says—" After all the speeches, exhortations, and recommendation on Myiiydd Sylen, on the 25th ult., to desist from nightly meetings of the population, Rebecca and her Daughters, notwithstanding, made their appearance on the very night, and in the immediate neighbourhood of the spot where the meeting was held. The village of Pontyberem, about a mile and a half from Mytiydd Sylen, was the place selected by the t.iir Dame to march in battle array. On the road a man met them, and endeavoured to wrestle a gun from one of the" fuir daughters," but missed his aim—the damsel would not yield to him, but kept her grasp. The man took refuge in a public-house close by,CH))ed tbe New Inn, when the fair one opened fire, and sent some shots after liim through the front entrance, which lodged in the cellar door opposite, passing close to a person who stood in the way at the time. They then malched through the village, blowing their horn", shouting in triumph, anJ then disposed. --==

To the EDITOn of The CAMBRIAN. SIR,—1 beg to send you copy of a letter, which I inserted about three weeks ago in (he Fife Herald, on the subject of your Rebecoa riols, whicb perhaps ynu hue not yet seen I sent several copies Bllhe time 10 M agist rates in Ihe dislorbed districts, and I perceive by the Reporter of the Times, that my suggestion hall been pariially adopted. Your obedient servant, JAMES AYTOUN. SlR,—It humbly appears to me that the authorities are not following the right course to put down the riots in Wales The disturbed districts are filled with soldiery, both horse and foot, nnd yet, such is the combination among the inhabitants, that the 11'10 houses are torn down ill the night time almost 110 soon as thev are erected in the day. Tim rioters are willing to risk detection, and the punishment which will follow deteciion (transforation ), for the sake of getting rid of the tax. And lliev have hitherto completely succeeded for, as soon as a toll gaie (transforation ), for the sake of getting rid of the tax. And lliev have hitherto eOll1pletel.T 1i11cceerted; for, 1\1\ sonn as a toll gaie has been removed, the tax is for the lime done away with and horses and carts are allowed to pass free. Now, is itnol almost certain, if the rioters coold be onoe con- vinced that their illegal conduct would he attended with no advantage to IbelO. that they would abnndon Ihe course they are following, and t!,attuev would 1101 incur "Ieat personal ri-ks when no benefit would accrue lo them? The course, then, I conceive, ",I,ich ought to be adopted is II very simple nne, and I Hill some- what surprised it has not been thought of before. The right 10 exact toll-dues does not depend upon there being a regular turn- pike gale Rnd toll-house, but 00 the act of Parliament, which ,.ull1o. ises a loll to be exacted at Ii parliculllr local it v. If, then, a gate is destroyed, nothing would be easiei then to place a chain across tbe road—and this is frequelldy done ill our county, pre- vious to the erection of a gate, when a new toll has been ordered bv the trustees-and 10 have ibis chain guarded by a tollman and two or three policemen or soldiers. The exaction of the tolls would tlifei) be quite independent of the existence or removal of the gate, and 'lie rioters would at once perceive that nothing could be gained by their IlIe!1;1I.1 and felonious CHlldu,ct. I would even go further than this I consider that an act of Parliament ought to be passed-and this could he done in the course ot a week- authorising the trustees in the disturbed districts to exact a heavier toll, for the purpose of re-erecting the gates and teahouses which have been polled down. The rioter- would thus soon find, that, instead of gaining, they were actually doing themselves an injury b, their illegal conduct. The maintenance of a snllicient force to protect tbe chains would of course be required, but there is already ample force in the dis- turbed districts for this purpose nay, one half of the troops nnd police at present employed, and that, its it appears most ineffec- tively in suppressing the noci nrnal riots, would be quite sufficient. ror the chains and guardians might ue removed altogether in the ni^hl time, and the troops and police only employed during the day. Very little Iralic, as is well known, can be carried 011 in the night, and if the rioters were to attempt it, they would soon find that this would ùe mnch more expensive than paying the tolls for the use of the ro,.ds in the day time. Aller the riots were suppressed, which I am fully nf opillion would easily be done in Ihe manner I have suggested wilhnutlhe shedding of a single drop of blood, then would be the time for a searching investigation as to whether the toll duties were exces- siveornot, and whetllerlherewereaJlY abu"e,in the management of the funds. But ulllillhe majesty of the taw has been vindicated, this would be eritirrly out of place, for all classes of subjects must be taught th-tt, as long as laws remain on the statute book, they must he obeyed. As far as I htte been able to judge, it doeii not appear to me that the tolls exigible in Wales are heavier than those of many other districts of England and Sootland. The reporter of the Times informs us, at a pioof of giievous oppression, that adoubte horse cart of lime pays 6d. toll. Whv, in Fife, our own county a double horse cart of lime, very moderately Itmded, is charged 10dl andl'ullv lo-ided considerably more. J'olK are aliv ays complained of In farmers and carters, w o wish to have excellent roads, and at the same time to pass free. Those two things are not, however, compatible. Good roads can only benmde and kept in repair by sufficient money being laid out upou thetn and when it is con. sidered that a horse will convey twice as much upon a good road as upon a bad otif, Ihe saving of lior.se power upon a well kept turnpike road is at least four times as valuable to the person using il as the money which would be *aved were there no tolls at Ht), and were he at the same time ohiiged, as he would be, tn make use of a bad road, I am tar from saving that Ilwre is not in a number of districts a great deal or extra*agance, jolibing, IInd evell peculation hut I will maintain that, taking everything into consideration, our sy stem "f road management is infinitely preferable to lhat of Fi ance and other countries where there are no tolls. Compare, for instance, the firm, hard, and smooth roads in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh almost equally good in winter as in .wnmer-with the toads in the neighbourhood of Paris, which, as was well remarked by the Editor of the Scotsman, in one of his letters fiom the Continent, resemble in wet weather nothing so much as canals of mud. Is it not. therefore, the duty of every intelligent and patriotic citizen to discountenance, as much as possible, the short-sighted and barbarous opposi ion 10 the expediency of lolls, a spirit which. I am sorry to say, exists in other places besides j Wale*; and which, if ii were to spread, would serve most mate- j rial ly to impair the excellency of tbe roads of Great Britain, which have more than anything else tended to forward the wealth and prosperity of this country ?

To t%t EDITOR of Tht CAMBRIAN. St. Clauk, August 23,1843. | SIR,—"Hie Timet of the 17th inst., having circulated a retort prejudicial to the character of the Dissenters, I shall feel much obliged by vour giving publicity to the following letter, addressed to the 7V»i<«;, contradicting the report. -I remain, Si" vour obedient servant, JAMES ROGERS. "TO THE EDfTGR OF 1'ft.I'. TOtES." S'r.— Having seen in your paper of the 17tb inst.,a report of the state of South Wales, and. sneaking of the Dissenters, yott say, that, at the commencement of these outrages, the farmers met 'he landlords, for the purpose of discussing the question, at St. Clears, and there a Dissenting Minister was the spokesman of the Rebecetutes; and at this meeting every mlln of the farmeis refused to he sworn in as speci-d cons'tables,' untii this Dissenting Minister, being pressed to iI, consented to COlli" forward WIKMI about fifty of his congregation followed his example immediate! > -Now, the whole or this statement is entirely void of truth, In the first place, no such meeting eve.- took place here, and no snch circumstances as those stated bv you ever rraospired and further, Ihe report carries on the face of it tlie greatest absnrriiiy, as the landlords bad not the power to swear in special constables—tins was a duty that devolved on the civil power. There was a meeting h. ld al the Bl. Boar Inn. Sr. Clears, on the Itli of February last (vide report in the Welshman, 17iti tebmt.ry). which was attended by a great manv Magistrates a::d other influential gentlemen of the comity, and by a fen farmers. If the report in question has any reference to this meeting, it is as far from tbe troth as the other. This Hireling was convened by the Magistrates, to take illlo consideration the slate of liis country, and for devising means to restore peace and order arid IJUl" a meeting of landlord. and farmers, to di*cn*s the rjueslicn of outrages. Several gentlemen addressed this meeting, amongst the number I tie Rev. Joseph Williams,of Bethlehem, a Discerning Minister. Thii. gentbman suggested the propriety of dispensing with the services of the military and police here. The .suggestion was taken into consideration by the Magistrates, and after a short consultation an order was given to dismiss the military and pen- sioner*, but to retain the police and this order was i.'nmedintelv carried inio effect. The farmers were now called upon to be sworn its as special constables, and having had the duty explained to them, all present came forward, without hesitation, and were sworn in—perhaps to the number of fifty or sixty, and a Teat many others were called uponthe next day for a similar purpose. "No spokesman for the Hebnrailes attended this meeting Ifr- Williams, was not asked to be sworn in (I special amstable — he d il not go forward with fifty of his congregation—there was no refusal or reluctance on the part of any one to he sworn in that I could see. So much for the truth of the statement contained in your re- P°rt. and I shall feel much obliged by your giving publicity in •he I"itnes lo ibis letter. I was present at all tbe meetings held here, and am well acquainted with all that transpired. "I remain, Sir, your very obedient servant. "St. Clears, Aug. 22d, 1843. •• ROGERS."
