I I TEn Disturbances in Wales and THE LONDON Times Reporter.—We perceive in the IfflifctiwH of last week a proposition to present a piece of plate to the reporter of the Times, for his conduct in setting before the public the many grievances under which the farmers in the disturbed districts laboured, and for the fearless- and independent manner in which he furnished to the important journal ot which he is the repiesentaiive, the proceedings which have taken place. We are given to understand that the gentleman about to be so complimented is Mr. J. G. Powell, of Biistol, to whose exertions and conduct during the whole of the unfortunate distnrbatAJes, we are proud to bear our most unqualified approbation and praise. HEUECCA Again1. —On Monday night the 'oil-gate situated between Bellws Gwerfil Goch and the Holyhead lfoad, called the Manly gate, within five miles ofCorwen, in the parish of Llangw m, in the county of Denbigh, belong- ing to the Rala trust, was entirely taken away, the posts parted with a saw, and a note put under the door, informing the toll-keeper that the breach was committed by Sister Rebecca, with a caution against placing another in that neighbourhood. "tV EI.SH TOLLS-A surgeon who resides at Crick- 11oweI!, Hreconshire, had to visit a patient at Tre-tower, a distance of three miles.

Special Commission in Cardiff.—It is generally reported in circles likely to be well intoimed ou the snb- jPcf, that directly after the sittings in the present term, a Special Commission will be held again in this town, for the Ilial of the Rebecca prisoners at present confined in Cilr. tuarthen gaol.—Cardiff Advertiser. Final Examination and Committal of Twexty-six Reel.ccaites.—The following is the result of the appreheu- sion of tiie Rebeccaites for pulling down the gates ami de- sttoying the toll houses at Paikymorfa and Fishguard, Pem- bvokeshire. on the 11th September last. They were ex- aminei) before Hugh Owen Owen. Esq., Vice Liplltewlllt of the County, and a lull Bench of Magistrates, at Fishguard. — WilljanrOwen (the Lady Rebecca), James Gwynne, and Thomas Gwynne, were committed to the next Assizes, but were held to bai). themselves in 1001. each, and two snrerie" in 5(1/. each; ami the rem lining twenty-three in 50/ each, and two sureties in 25/. each.—The excitement in tlie town was verv great, particularly as regarded the informants, Thomas Williams and wife, who were obliged to be gua-ded night and day front the Barracks to the Commercial Ion, where the Mngistiates sat.—They have since been removed to the gaol at Haverfo dwest, as a place of security.— The prisoners w ere confined in the Market-house, surrounded by a treble guard of marines. The Commercial Inn was also strongly guarded during the lime the Magistiates were sitting.—New gates have been erected at Scieddy, Fishguard, and Penvmorfa and it is believed, thdt the exertions of police-men anil magistrates, resulting in a committal of so lIIanyof the Rebeccaites, will effectually prevent any fur- ther destruction of gates in this quarter. MeIiTING of Tl'KNPIKB TiU'STKES AT lilt! DO END — It may be tecollected that at a Monthly Meeting of the Bridgend Histiict Turnpike Tmstees, held on the 4th inst., and a report of which appeared in the Cambrian of the fol- lowing week, two petitions were presented—one from the pa- rishioners of Coychnrcli, Llaiiillid, and the adjacent parishes, and the other, which was presented by Mr. Jehosophat Powell, having emanated from a public meeting held at Kenfig, over which he presided. The petitions, our readers will emernber, complained of the number of gates, bars, chains, &c., in the district, and also contained very giave chaises of extortion, nominally, against the toll-collectors, but in reality against the lessee, who is their employer, and who is ht.) < t„ be responsible for their acts. The Right Hon. John Niehol, M:P. the chairman of the meeting, and the Ti iistees present were unanimously of opinion that the com. plaints and charges contained in the petitions could not be satisfactorily decided at that meeting, and that it was ad- visable not then to discuss them. It was therefore agreed that the meeting should adjournal its rising, and that the peti iousshoofti beieferred to a Committee of gentlemen, who should meet as often as necessary—make a full investi- gation of the cha ges preferred, ntid present their report at an adj'Hiined meeting on the 23d of November (Thursday la»t). On that ()H%ithe adjourned meeting was accordingly held at the W\ndham Arms Inn, Bridgend, when our Re- porter attended. The Trustees present were, the Right Hon. John Nicholl, in the Chair, Robert Lindsay, E-g., of Cvvmavon, iVI. P. Tiaherne, Esq, of Covtraliene, M. P. smith,Esq.,of Newhouse,VV. Jones, Esq., Hall. VV.LIewellin, Fsq., of Neath, W. Lewis, Esq., solicitor, Bridgend, W. Llewelyn, Esq., Com teolman, and Mr. Morgan, wine-mer- chant, HI idgellll. TiieCleik having read the minutes of lhe list meeting, the Chairman observed, that the tuiMness tor that day was to receive the report ot the Committee "('pointed at their last monthly meeting, tor tlie piripose of making an investigation into the allegations of the petitions presented at that meeting. He begged to tell them, that be report had been prepared and made: ready or p. esenta- tion on t hat d ay, but in consequence of additional information received ill the course of the previous day and on that morning he thought it would bo desirable that the Coin- nnttepsho-dd again proceed with their labours, ami at thp next monthly niretiiie, oil Satuiday week, present their report which should betaken into consideration at a meet- in" to be at that time appointed. II would be impossible, he said to discuss the subject of the report at the same ineet- in" at which it w hs presented, as it would be ofconbidcrabte length, tbe Coino.ittfe having considt red it to be their duly to enter into vaiious details connected with the accounts. Tbe Clerk observed, that it was competent for that meet- in' to adjoin ii to thp day previous to the General tleeiing. The Chairman said, that it would be perfectly useless to meet on Friday, and take the report into consideration on :he following Saturday. The Commissioners won 1 <1 not have sufficient time to pel use it.—After a lew additional remarks, the Ch-iirm in n';1C1 the following resolutions, which were unanimously agreed ¡o That the Committee do report at the next monthly meeting, and that 300 copies of the report be in the meantime piloted under the orders ol the Committee, and that it be taken into further consider ation on ad y to be appointed at the next monthly meeting."— That the Committee be continued, and have power to meet from lime 10 time 10 make such fnrther recc;nmenda- lions as they may think advisable." Meeting OF Tkusties of the Maim Tkust.—A n1Petilll: of tlie above wss held 011 Fridav afternoon lasI. ill the Talbot lnll, Carmarthen, Mr. Mollis in thechair. Tlw!Ouhject of Ihe removal of Ihe gates at Llandovpryalld Pelltrpbach, to he replaced by allolher in a central-ruination, was brought again before the meeting-, when Mr. Stephen Jones staled tint he had an objection to a toll-house being erected 0:\ his property, as, if the gates were discontinued, pat ties of loose character might become tenants of tbe hoosf, and damage lIIi:;ht be done to his woods in the neighbour- hood. He therefore declined the |>roposal which had been made to him. The Clerk stated that he had no doubt that 1\1 r. Goderich would have no objections to the toll-house being erected on his land, and it w is ordered accordingly, ihe land to be paid for Oil valuation. — Mr. Bnliin, toll-con- iractor, presented his hit! lor the loss he had sustained in this trust, in consequence of the "Rebecca" outrages. He had added the whole amount of the receipts together, and compared them with those of the previous year. He found the deficiency in the present ear amounted to 3141. Pis. 4.1.. and lie claimed thil this sum, therefore, he allowed him. The Chairman was of opinion that ibis was not a tail method of makiti'i the calculation, and that the more proper course would be for .\] t, |-J. to || lve slated the length ot tioie tnat the gates were down, and no tolls taken then to have as- certained the amount taken during the same periods in the formei year, and to hive ciaioicd this sum as compensation for his loss. So few trustees being present, the matter was left over to the ne\t meeting, which will be held on Friday, the "iDtlLol December. J nicest. — <hi Monday last, an inquest was held at Ll-ine.lv bv Win.

THE LATS GALES.—During tlie present week the Principality has been visited with some seyere gales of Kind but we are happy to state, that in our own immediate neighbourhood very little damage has been sustained.—At Milford, during Sunday, the wind was W.N. W., blowing fresh with heavy squalls of rain, which proved the forerunner of one of the most terrific gales that has oecurred for some time past. Soon after dark the wind increased, shifting towards the south, whete it rem lined till about one o'clock the next morning, when after a withering squall, it backed to the old point, and continued to blow with great fury till half-past tour P.M. ;-it then moderated. The roofs of the houses and the shipping in the harbour have seldom been more severely handled. We believe that the following in- cludes most of the damage that was done to the shipping:- The schooner Advocate, of Halifax, N.S., lately alli,ed from I'arrsborough, N.S., laden with wood goods, drove on Ihe rocks near the town, and had a hole knocked in her bottom and nearly filled with water. A pai t of her keel at) ) forefoot were knocked away, and is much irijiii ed fi mil chafing against the rocks. The foremast was cut away for the sarety of the vessel. She has commenced dischai <ing some of bar cargo to repair the damage.—A sloop, called the IVUlnim. of Cnr- digan, laden with pipe-clay, bound to Liverpool, drove on shore athwart the hows of the Advocate, and whilst in con- tact her htilwaiks and slanchions 011 the larboard bow were kll"ckt.d in. She is also strained in the bull and chafed, and must unload to repair. — The schooner Trident, of Cardigan, drove on shore and sunk, bottom damaged, and stein post tltnl tPd coal laden.— I he a mve vessels succeeded ill getting off the next day.—The schooner Fame, of Cardigan, laden with lead ore. drove on the rocks a little to the eastward of the town, where she lennins, but will It" got off during the present spting tides. Slip is much dam iged in the bottom. — Dining the sto m of Tuesday la-I. a vessel, supposed to be a Ftencii one, and loaded with wine and spirits, was wrecked otT Pembrey sands, and all bands perished. No t aces were found where she sailed from or was bound lo. Though the wind Ins, in a great measure subsided, yet the agitation of the waters has but little diminished, so as to lender a safe approach to her pi acticable.—Few disasters occurred in the neighbourhood of Cardiff try the storm of Sunday night. One vessel got caps zed in the old canal, not having any ballast in her, and a few broke from their moorings. With these exceptions, and the tall of a tree here and there, nothing of any consequence occulted. Loss oF THE .SCHOONER N i M bli;. — The hopes for the safetv ofthisvesset and her'ill-tated crew are now at an end, a month nearly having elapsed since she sailed from Hayle, with a cargo (130 tons) of copper ore, for Llanellv, about sixteen hours passage. She left at 8 A.M.; a schooner kept her company till nearly 4 P.M., but the gale increasing, she bore up. Mitchell stood nil; in the night it blew a peifect hurricane, and the waves, it is now pretty certain, over- whelmed poor Mitchell and his crew of eight men. This has been truly a most unfortunate family Mitchell's brother Nicholas fed from a cliff to the westward of the Lizard, and "a" killed, al)ol11 seven years since, leasing a yiiug widow and small family. William was in his thirtieth year, and had married one of the danghteis of Captain David Cooke, the much respected Superintendent of the Southampton, Ports- mouth, and Is!e of Wight steam-packets. Another of his daughters married William IJnrridge, master of the schooner Matilda, and about seven months since he fell down the hold of his vessel, when at Swansea, and was killed; so thai in little more than six mouths, two of Mr. Cooke's daughters have lost their huslJamls. alld returned again lo their fathel 's roof.

At Aberciave tlieie bad been raised (5290 tons 6f limestone, and sold 63S.1 to s. At the Lion Collieries the:e had been raised for sale 7IGS tons of coal, exclusive of the quantity used at the works. The result of dlesc operations was a balance of 13.4:;71. Is. 5d. upon the business of the Company, inclusitfe of rents and j law expense". The Directors having obtained funds from other quarters, had postponed the call fixed for the 5'h of Ihe present month to the 15th of January next they had likewise forfeited three hundred and ninety-five shares out of the five hundred named ai tbe last meeting. The Di- rectors, in conclusion, stated that applications having been received by the Provisional Committee from proprietol's of the present Company for upwards of ten thousand shares, the establishment of the new company had been announced, and arrangements made for the transfer of the properties and carrying on the operations on account of the new coin- pauy.—Alter the reading of the Report some con»ersation took place between the Chairman, Mr. Htcl^uy-^ Mr. Cliap- man, Mr. Biownrigg, M.P., and other proprietors; after which a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and tlie meeting adjourned. FESTIVITIES AT CASTLE M a DOC. Thursday se'n- night being the day on which Powell Price, E-q only son of Major Hugh Price, of Castle Madoe, attained the age of 21, was set apart by the inhabitants of ihe Vale of Homhlu as <i general holiday. At an early hour in the morning Ihe bells of St. Mary's and St. John's at Brecon, as well as those of Gurthbrengy, Llaudevailog, and Merlhyr Cynog churches, by their merry (teals gave note of preparation; and by mid- day many joyous groups might may lie seen wending their way towards Castle Madoc farm, the appointed scene of the festivities which were to celebrate the event of the day. At two o'clock, a large party of the tenantry, as well as nearly all the respectable yeomanry of that neighbourhood, sal down to an excellent dinner, itndjao)p)f- justice was done to the viands which had been profusely provided for the occasion, among which, according to ancicnt costom, "roast beef and plum pudding" occupied a distinguished position. After dinner, in order to afford room for the exercise of that hospi- tabty winch was evinced to all comers during"l!ie day, the party adjourned to anolher commodious apartment to enjoy their glasses, when Mr. Hugh Jones, of Brecon, Major Price's land azent, took the chair, and ai'tcr proposing the usual loyal and public toasts, which were drunk with due honours, he called their attention to the "tonstofthe day," and, after alluding to the antiquity of the Castle Madoc family and the high respect in which the young heir's ancestors had alwajs been held in the county of Brecon, he referred to his personal amiable character, as giving the highest promise of following in then-footsteps, and spoke of his literary talents, which bid fair to render him an ornament to "oeil ty and an honour to his country, concluding by proposing Ins health, which w;is drunk with three tunes three cheers again and again repeated. Several other toasts followed, and shortly after many of the party joined the ladies at the tea tabic and the pleasures of the day were wound up with a bonfire on the Mount, and a brilliant display of fire works, managed by the juvenile mem- bers of tbe pa.ty, whose high spirits and hearty participation in the proceedings had much enlivened the whole oftiteantuse. ments. A large bonfire piled on the suinruitofCaru Llehach, visible for many miles round, lit the company on their way homewards, ami ha,1 a heaufitul effected contrasted with the 1 darkness of the surrounding scenery.—The weather during the whole day and evening proved unusually fine, and the arrangements reflected great credit on the management of Mr. Hugh Jones, whose efforts to add to the conilorts and amuse- ments of t!)e dav were unceasing. The provisions for the festival was on the most liberal scale, and vast quantities of bread, heef and cirrw da were distributed among the poor of the surrounding parishes who thronged in during the day.

The grtel caused by the death of this estimable gen- tleman has been very great, and felt not only by his imme- diate family relations, but participated in by all who, during his life-lime, had the honour of his acquaintance. This was evinced by t|ie great length of the cavalcade which followed the remains of the lamented gentleman lo the place of inter- ment, which was such as has scarcely ever been witnessed in ihe town ofSuuderiand. in it were included the carriages of all the principal gentry of the town and neighbourhood, ami very many throughout the county of Durham amongst which may he enumerated (hose of tbe .Marquess of London- ilerry, flIP Mayor of Sunderland, J.

SWANSEA PETTY SESSIONS.
SWANSEA PETTY SESSIONS. At these Sessions, held at onrTownhall on Tuesday, before Sir John Morris; Bait ,T. Edw. Thomas, John Grove, and C. H. Smith, Esqrs., a young girl about fifteen years of age, named Catherine Hughes, appeared to answer to the charge of having assaulted Mary Morgan. The complainant stated that she was standing at the door of her parents' house, in the parish of St. John's, on Friday last, when the defendant came op to her, and after making use of several very offensive and opprobrious expressions, in speaking of complainant and her mothl r, she took up a piece of Ilrick, and struck her (complainant) on the lower lip, which bled ptofusely. Slle could assign no cause for defendant's conduct, as she had not previously qoarielled with her, but supposed it might have arisen out of a had feeling from the circumstance of her (defendant's) brother's lodging at the house of complainant's parents. The de- fendant denied having struck complainant, but the latters evidence was corroborated by a woman named Richards, who saw the brick tin ow n.—The Magistrates, after having commented upon the defendant's violent conduct, ordered her to pay a fine ol 13s. including costs, or be committed for one week. < The e was also a charge of assxult preferied again-t the mother of the last defendant, by Datid Aubrey, a constable of the parish of St. John's. The constable stated that, having heard ciiesof "minder," he went into the house of the parents of the young woman who was complainant in the last case, and upon seeing her mouth bleeding, and being fold that she had been struck either by Catherine Hughes or her mother, he went iu'o the latter's house, and re- monstrated with her—told her that she was a common dis- tnrber in tbe village, ani that he must lodce a complaint against her. lie also asked Imr why she bad struck Sarah Thomas? Did she mean to kill her? Defendant said, '• Yes, and I'll kill you too and suiting the action to the word, struck him with a biickliat on the side of his face, and proceeded to her fireplace and picked np another, which she brought in her hand to a aids complainant. In his endeavour to wrest it fiotil her he got into the bouse, when defendant shut the door, which she fastened, and then called upon her family to kill him." Thpy immediately commenced throwing tongs, pokers, brickbats, and missiles innumerable at complainant, until a man from outside broke open the door and rende ed assi tance.—After a short con- suhalion among ihe Magistrates, Mr. T. Edw. Thomas said, that all the gentlemen present considered the case a very aggravated one, and that, consideting the mother's violent disposition, it was not surprising that the children should follow the example. The fine, including costs, would be It 8s. Gd. The defendant's husband, in rather an animated st ain, contended that the constable had no right to enter— as "every man's Iionse was his castle," and he would bail his wife and daughter to answer the charge at the Quarter Sessions. — Tbe .Magistrates informed hilll that his house was not his castle if he or anv member of his family acted illegally, an I that bail to the Sessions could not be*ecei»ed. Hughes, who appeared to consider himself a bit of a parish lawyer, became considerably excited, atfiiming tint the Magistrates were but men, and he was not afraid of the face of mall," and vented mnchadditiona) frothy matter. The wife, on the oilier band, was more resigned to her lot, observing, I am o her lot, sine the gentlemen done right" thev knows the Act of Parliament"—" you did not see the last Act." The husband persisted that he knew enough 10 sav that the decision was illegal. The fine for the daughter was finally paid, but the mother was committed. Dtivid Price was charged by Mr. Morgan on behalf of ihe parish, for refusing to maintain his wife and child, who con- j seqneuily became chargeable to the parish. Mr. Morgan represented ihecase at t be request of the Board of Guardians, to whom the wife had applied for relief. It appeared that the conduct of the defendant, w|,0 was a copper man, Iowa ids his wife, had been very violent. He had also communicated to her a loathsome disease, and she in consequence left him, and became chaigeable to the parish. —The Magistrates severely reprimanded defendant for his bitiial and ,iolent conduct, and ordeied him to pay 5s. a week towards his wife's maintenance, until be could provide a house, &C., for her. Cakdiff POLICE, Nov. 20.-lh.fore H Morgan, Esq., Mayor, and C. C, M iliums, E'q— Wm Oicen, a fireman on t'oird the rince of lVal<s sieamei, appeared to answer a complainant Richard Worlev, for an assault. From Ihe complainant's statement, it appeared that about seven o'clock in the evening, he went into !),€ Clolic inn, to set) some fruit, when the prisoner look an orange from h.s basket without paying for it. On being requested to retu n it, lie the complainant a severe blow in the face, and drawing a live cat from under bis co<t threw i; at the complainant, and then finished by knocking him dowlI and kicking him.

From complainant's state- ment, it appeared he w-as sitting qn'etly down in his owu j house, and being unwell was drinkmg some hot herb tea, when the piison r walked in, took bi n by the collar, and tluew him on the grou d and severely kicked him on the face. Witness is too ill to resist, aiid begged to be left alone. The p isoner, in his defence, said that one lime back, when be was in bed, the complainant came and beat him (the prisoner}* but as this was not deemed sufficient a,3 justification for the present assault, he was fined IOs. aud co-ts, or io be imprisoned for ion. teen dajs. Committed. IMPUDENT Deckphon and CHI-DPI.my. —A few days ago, a female named Eliza Beavan, alius Evan*, was brought before John Matthews, Esq., one of tbe County magistrates at the Shire hall. Herefoid, charged with obtaining money and wealing apparel by talse pretences, and with being a rogue and vagabond. Mr. Owillim, solicitor, conducted the complaint on the part of Mi. Ivias Evans, of Wellington, and fully developed the proceedings of the piisoner, which for coo! impudence exceeded hov thing tiro we have ever heard of. It appears that after a previous similar errand to another individual, she called upon Mr. Evans, and reore- sending that he had been left a large sum of money (80,000i.) by a relative who had just come from abroad and died, Succeeded by her know ledge of Mr. Evans's relatives in obtaining board and lodging at his house, the loan of weaiing apparel and money to hnv shoes. She went to Leominster and called upon the father of a respectable tradesman of Hereford, and there gave a similar tale, the names of the parties only being changed, then took lea, and borrower" Is. (Jd. Subsequently site came to Hereford, and called upon ihe tradesman referred to, who admitted her into his house with the view of testing her sinceiity and punishing her if sire were an impostor. Here she found it convenient to put on a pious denieanorir, and attended divine worship. To make a long story short,' suffice it to say that after a series of the most impudent attempts to keepup the deception by the aid of accomplices, by stories about her having been 1 at court, &c., the whole was proved to be a complete tissue of falsehoods Mr. Evans never leccived any answer to a lettei which he had written about the 80,000^. and the fortunes left to Ihe other parties existed only in imagination, Her imposition was detected, and she was lodged in the station-honse by Payne, the maiket constable. — Mr. Mat- thews, the magistrate above-named, convicted her under the 5th Geo. IV c. 83, as a rogue and vagabond, and sentenced her to one month's imprisonment with bard labour. The complainant, Mr. Ev,inS) vvas directed to pay 15^. 0d. costs I Mr. Gwillim rendered his sei vices gratuitously,—Tbe pri- sonerisofthe middle siature- dark complexion; has lost one tront upper tooth llai,- rather short; and speaks in a strong Welsh accent. Citt'Ef, Rohbkkv AND MunDiiii On Saturday morn- ing, between one and two o'clock a cuul robheiy was per- netrated at the house of two aged and i firm persons, named Sperring, situated in the Upper Bristol road, in the parish of Weston, near Hath. Tbe villains, three in number, made an entr lice thtongh Ihe ,0,">F 0t the dwelling, by removing several of the stone files. They then rushed into the kitchen, where they found Mrs. Sperring, and threatened to blow out her brains if she gave any alarm, or made the least re- sistance, and the poor old worn in faiuied. The thieves then entered the bed-i oom of the old 111311, illld. with imprecations, demanded his money. He dfered them a sovereign to |t-aie the place, but they refused and threatened his life if lie did not tell them where he kept his money, staling they knew he bad money in the house. One of them prilled out a box from under the bed and broke it open, from which they took 7ul. it, money, and a silver watch, maker's name, Bullock," Bath, with which they decamped, leaving the old woman in a state of insensibiiiiv. Sperting, who ap- peals to be a man ot very penurious habits, occupies a detached collage, which is situated allOllt 20n yard" from the K'dsoti turnpike gate. His wife being a cripple, and he re- fusing to allow any person to enter his d welling, the house piesents a most tilthy appearance. We are given to under- st ind that the 70/. ot wlucb he has been plundered were honied in the handle ot all old saucepan, and that an addi- tional 20/ secreted in some rags, fortunately escaped the hands of the burglars. The violence of the ruffians resulted in the death of the old woman (who is about SO years of age), which event look place yesterday morning.Hath Gazette. -An inquest was held on the body on Thursday, when a verdict of Wilful Murder against some person or persons il !> !< nowai" was teturned.

FRIDA Y.-Before the Mayor.—John Fox was com- mitted for trial at the next Quartet Sessions, on the evidence of Police-sergeant Bennett, for stealing a pair of shoes, the property of a person at whose bouse he lodged. MONDAY.- n'illiam Jones, and his son William Jones, were committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions, on a charge of stealing several deal planks, which had been placed near the Steam Mill, on the Strand, and which were the pro- peity of Mr. David Walters. TUESDAY.— Miriam Uarse and Anne Krith, were charged by P. C. Jones, with drunkenness and tlis rderly conduct, and with making use ot most disgust int; lananaue. They vtpic discharged after having been reprimanded by the Mavor. Two brothers, named Charles Jones (alias Blneskin) and Daniel Jones (alias Robin Hood) well-known juvenilt depredators, were charged with biting in their possession a quantity of copper sheathing, which, it was suspected, they had stolen. Remanded for further evidence. WEDNESDAY.—CHARGE AGAINST A BAILIFF. — Henry Scriver, a bailiff, was charged with having obtained the sum of two pounds from Wiliiam Da»ies, of the Weijr, under false pretenses—bv represent ng him-elf as authorized hy Mr. Richard Jerikiii-, solicitor, to receive the sam". In 11:- examination by Mr. Wm. Wallers, who attended on behalf of the p'-osecution, Davies, the piosecnior, said that, about the beginning of the present year, he was sued in the Comity Court by Mr. Richard Jenkins, af the suit ot David Rees, for the sum of of. 6s. (id. lie had allowed judgrmnt go by default, and execution against his goods was issued, and was levied by the prisoner and another b. ilitf named Conk, who took two horses from his farm. With the view < t inducing them to leave the bor-es, he offered them 2/. The bailiffs accepted the 21., and wiuo ss gave them a written promise, with Evan Hopkin as sectrri-y, to pay the remainder'• to Mr. Jenkins, or order," which was intended as" srtllpmrnt of the action. Some t'tne after witness iva- at work on the Quay, with his two horses, when fhe piisoner advanced towards him —told him that he still had the ex, etitio!) in his posses-ion, and unless he (Davies) would pay the balance, he (the bailiff) would be cuiged to lake the two horses. He lepeatediv pressed him to p tv during th a day. In con- sequence ot that conv e s iiion, witness made an appointment to meet the prisoner at the Three Compasses ptildte house, but they subsequently met at the Iiose and Harp. in Orange- street, where witness paid him 21., for which be gave a receipt (which was produced). It Was t0 tl,e following effect: — "Glamorganshire in the County COllrl,-31. 6s. 6d.,—W. Davies D. Rees — received the sum of 21. in pari debt and cosis in this action —11. 6s. 6d. remains, to b» paid on Mon- day," and signed Henry Sciiver. In consequence of a con- versation with Mr. Jenkins, witness saw .he prisoner, and asked him how lie came to receive money fiom him under false pretenses, and without authority, and what had he done with the money. The piisoner replied that he was "gelling rather ragged, and hall bought clothes wiih them," and added that Mr, Jenkin. could not again sue him for the same debt. He also offered to refund ihe mmiev as soon vs he should hr. paid for a job he had in hand.— Mr. Richard Jenkins corroborated the first part of the above s atement, and added, that the piisoner brought him tbe 21. and the undertaking signed by Evan Hopkin and W. D ivies as a secmiiy for the lemainder. He paid Ihe prisoner ll)s. 6d., being his fee for the levy, and it wis understood that he (prisoner) had nothing tin ther to do with the debt, as he had accepted the 21. and the undertaking as a settlement of the action. He did not however desire the prisoner to deliver np the execution, as executions are frequently left with hadiffs after debts luve been satisfied. Witness never afterwards authorized hitn to receive anv money on his ac- count. The last witness wished an abatement to be made in the debt on account of the 21. paid to p isouer, but wit- ness refused making any deducion, and the undertaking was^satisifed. — The prisoner, ill his defence, acknowledged having received tbe nionev, but said that he did not do so under false pretences. He also denied ha>ing prested Davies 10 pay him while on the Quay, but that the latter had requested him to receive lliem for Mr. Jenkins.—The prisoner was committed to take his trial at the next Quarter Sessions, but was admitted to bail. Margaret Staunton wasorderet) to enter into recognizances, ami find sureties to keep the peace towards Anne, the wife of Thomas Jones, of Lluisamlet. The required sureties were found. Toe two boys charged with stealing copper were ag^m brought up, but were dischaiged from the want of sufficient evidence. VT 4 Neath PETTY SESSIONS, Nov. 17.—Presen', ITowel Gwyn, Esq., and Giiffiih Llewellyn, Esq.— William John, of, Cwrn Aton, was chatged with selling beer without a license. It appeared, that he cored on the system of "Cwrw Bach," or sold beer in his house without a licen.se, wlieie young boys were in the habit of assembling and d'inking to gieat excess. One of the witnesses, Thomas Lewis, slated, hut he was sixteen years of age, that, on the oatniday ni^bt in question, about eight o'clock, he went to defendant s atilt remained there until one o'clock on Sunday moining, hit lie drank four pints or beer, lot which he pad defendant. Another hoy, Evan Thomas, slated that he also went to defendant's bou-e on the night in question about nine o'clock, where he remained until three o clock 011 Sunday morning—that t'rsrr* weie a great many boys there drunk. The prisoner, iu his defence, said, that he bad been three months ill, about the time that the beer was sold, and that be now only earned 3s. a-week besides his food and lodging, and that he bad a wife to maintain. The Magistrates fined him in the mitigated penalty of five pounds wh ct) he did NOT pay, and he was therefore com- mitted to the House of Correction at Swansea.— Ev an Jones, of Llangnieke, mason, was charged with an assault on John Jones, quarryinan. It appeared that the complainant and defendant wotked together, and that they had some high words; the latter accused the formei of stealing his stones, upon which complainant cailed defendant a liar, who there- upon took up a large stone and struck complainant, so that his head was cut and he was stunned. The defendant was fined 50.. including costs, which be paid with great reluct- ance.— II illiam Jenkins, of Llangendeirue, Carmarthenshire, was committed tot- trial at the next Quarter Sessions on a charge of stealing a pewter pot, the propeitv of Mr. J"IIII Smith, of the MackwoUh Aims, on the night of the 15th instant.—.John Thomas, of Moiriston, labourer, was charged with stealing a quantity of bent or froze, off Crymlvn Bur- rows, in Ibe parish of'Cadoxton-juxta-Neath,the property of Lrn-d Jersey. — Mr. Rees Preece, tbe tenant of the Burrows, stated that defendant, his wife, and djughters, were in the habit of going to the Burrows with a horse, and sometimes a horse and cart, and returning loaded with hent — 'hat he warned defendant innumerable times not to remove any of thp bent, and thieateued him with proceedings if lie con- tinned to do so. On the day in quesiion defendant was told by Preece not to cut any hent. This remonstrance he would not listen to. He was subsequently told not to remove the benl after it was cut, bin he, with Ihe assistance of his wife and daughter, took away a horse load. It also appeared from the evidence, that the bent which grows on the sands is of the greatest value in checking the drifting sand, and should be protected wilh the utmost care, and by reason of the frequent commission of the offence, large tracts of land are being rendered valueless along the sandy portions of the coast of this county. In conseqnence. however, of the •lian-'s poverty, the Magistiates tined him 2s. 6d. with 5s. the damage and costs, and in default of pay ment he was committed to the House of Correction at Swansea, without hard labour, for one week. It would be well to observe, that the defen !ant'" two daughters, who live and work with him, were in the month of February last brought before the Magist ates in Neath, for a similar offence, when they vteie severely reprimanded, and ordered to pay ihe expenses, but on account of their poverty the Magistrates' clerk re- III, II ed them his fees.

Twe contrast of (be conduct of the English Attorney- general with that of the Irish Attorney-General, must ^'rike everybody as being most remarkable. Lately, 'I¡1ve witnessed the English Attorney-General, when proceeding; against the rioters of this district, coiidnct- 1ng the prosecution in the most calm, forbearing, and indulgent manner and even when the guilt of some of the prisoners was of an aggravated nature, exercising *l»e influence of the Crown us leniently as possible. Now, however, we see the Irish Attorney-General, in a Weightier case, certainly-one in which the accused srand charged with committing acts more dangerous tu the safety of the realm, but yet not uemaudiug to be tllH with sterner justice, exhibiting an apparent ran- c'3ur and malice,such as is rarely seen even in a violent political opponent. He seems, throughout the whole otthe Irish trials, to be ea^er for a conviction. In- stead of staling a plain unvarnished case to the jtiiy, lle atteuip'.s to prejudice their minds by designating ^Coniiell and his Party conspirators the question abont to berried being, whether they had done ticls ^oiintiiio' to conspiracv. lie ti:en attempis to take a paltry advantage over the accused, by demanding of ùne of their Counsel h;i1 license from the CroIVa to Plead on their behalf. Now, no one denies the rignt °f 'he Attorney-Genera! to require a Counsel's license to i>!e:i<i against the Crown, but the insisting upon the light, in this instance, is evidence of the illiberal and Harrow spirit bv which her Majesty s clnef law adviser is actuated. The raising objections to delivering the ^-fendants a copy of the caption, and a list of witnesses' "anies endorsed on the original indictment, and to receiving their pleas in abatement, is characteristic of tLe same hostile and ungenerous feeling The Attor- ],ey-General has had, in se> era! instances, the Jaw in llis favour, but everybody will admit that the letter of the law ought not to be strictly carried out in all cases, find certainly not in a case like the present, where the lndictme;it is enormous, the mere abstract of it occu- l'ing four or five columns in the papers. The duty {;f the Attorney-General, in a State prosecution, is a very plain and simple .one. He has 'o take care that j''S!ice is not defeated, bm satisfied and he is only to Seek for conviction on a calm consideration of the ('vidence against the accused, without attempting to >ve a colour to it by any interpretation of his own, nas the Irish Attorney General pursued this straight- forward course? The general voice declares he has It has been said-wiiv all this outcrv against Smith, the Irish Attorney-General? Is he not "cling by the advice of the Crown ? Are not her ajestv's Ministers responsible ? Such is the case. They are responsible, and in thus exposing Mr. Smith's faults, the Ministers are blamed for appointing to an oRice a man who has shown that he wants one very "ecessary qualification-that of being reasonably and Politically unbiassed in discharging the duties thrown ''pen him.
