tkntoslpto Asti Quttlra," ipasto. LONDON. MARCH 19. WE regret to state that accounts have been received from Lisbon, dated the 12th inst., of a serious disturbance in the wine country on the Douro attended with the loss of many lives. This melancholy affair took place in the district of Felguieras, in conseqnence of an attempt of the tax-gatherers to levy a new im- post on wine. The farmers had resolved to oppose it, and they were aided by a vast number of the country people who collected in the district of Pena-Co.a, ringing the church-bells, and calling upon the inhabi. tants of the place to arouse from their lethargy, voci- ferating Death to the Contractors Down with the Taxes!" It was with the greatest difficulty that the contractors, through the protection of the administrator of the district, together with the aid of a few other in- dividuals, were enabled to escape with their lives. They af'erwards returned with an escort of 30 infantry, but in the meantime a great number of men, headed by the Morscado Magalaes, a country gentleman of the district, had assembled at St. Martinho, armed, some with fowling pieces, but most with pikes or scythes. The soldiers seeing this array, retraced their steps, and took up a defensive position on a neighbouring height, from which, however, they were soon dislodged by the people, who pursued them, by firing a few shots at them and abusing them as robbers and oppressors of the poor. Next day a detachment of eighty infantry and some dragoons, under the command of Captain Guedes, attacked the insurgents, who stood their ground for some time, but at last fled and dispersed, leaving ten of their number dead on the field. The official journal of Oporto states that the disturbance Lad been completely put down, and the district was iranqnil. The Chambers had been occupied during the week in discussing the remaining articles of the project for the establishment of savings banks, all of which had been adopted. The American packet Hibernia arrived at Liverpool this morning. She brings New York papers to the 1st March. -The Bill for the annexa ion of Texas was still under consideration in the Sena-e —The President has addressed a message to Congress relative to the nego- tiations between Englamd and America on the Oregon territory, in which he states that "considerably pro- gression has been made in the discussion, which has been carried on in a very amicable spirit between the two Governments; and tha' there is reason to hope that it may be terminated, and the negotiation be brought to a close, within a short period."—The commercial intelligence from the United States is somewhat encouraging. The spring tratle was opening with a good deal of activity. The Stock Market was firm, and in Railway Securities rn immense business was doing. —Canadian accounts report that the Ministry had expe- rienced two defeats—the first on a local measure, by a vo'c of 34 to 26; and the second, on a Bill reducing the salaries of certain public officers and funding the fees of office, by 35 to 23. THE CONVICT TAWELL.-(From the Times).On Monday, Tawell was visited by hi!! wife, his step daughter, Miss CUI worth, and his brother, Mr. Wm. Tawell, who is said to be a draper in London. Mr*. Tawell had not seen her husband since Sunday week last. This meeting was thought likely to he a most painful one, and the prisoner had been heard to declare that he dreaded it more than death itself It lasted for near two hours, after which they ex- pressed themselves astonished at the manner in which it had been sustained. They evinced great fondness for one < another, and Mrs. Tawell, who mentions him in terms of great affection, does not hesitate to express her firm convic- tion of her husband's innocence. Her daughter is of a similar opinion. Up to the time of the trial, Mrs. Tawell spoke hopefully and cheerfnlly, and at times confidently, of her husband's acquittal. Tawell likewise made remarks, from which it appears that he felt certain of escape. After the meeting in question, Mrs. Tawell said she felt more re- oonciled to the fate of her husband, but his brother was in a state of distraction at the doom which has overtaken one so dosely related to him. All alike speak of his kindness as a parent, bis affection as a husband, his amiability as a friend, and his constant benevolence and unbounded charity. The dajr of execution is now fixed for Friday th6 28th instant. PARLIAMENT.—In the BoesE OF LORDS, on Monday weuing, several bills were forwarded in their respective naf«a.—The Hoase having gone into a Committee on the Deodand Bill, the Earl of Ellenborough, in consequence of something that fell from Lord Campbell, said that he was ready at any moment to defend his conduct from the aspersions of any man, great or small, noble or mean, who Ctiose to attack it, and that he only wished what had been said in his absence might be repeated in his presence.— Lord Brougham begged to assure the Noble Eltrl, that when- ever he had been assailed in his absence, he had been defended by the Dnke of Wellington, and not quite so ably yet still defended by liiinself (Lord Biougham).—1The Earlof Ellenborough expressed lirsobligations and the matter dropped.—The Property-tax Bill was read a second time, on the understanding that a discussion should take place on the third reading. — Adjourned. On Tuesday evening the Royal assent was given by Com- mission to various bills and after some routine business, the House adjourned to the 3d of April. In the HousE OF COMMONS, on Monday evening, Mr. W. Hilet mowed that "it is the opinion of this House that, in the application of surplus revenue towards relieving the burthens of the country, by reduction or remission of tax- ation, due regard should be had to the necessity of affording relief to the agricultural interest.He asserted that agri- CVltnral distress was not local, but general, and that it did not arise from any unfortanate vicissitudes of the seasons, bnt from the erroneons legislation of the present Parliament. —The Earl of March, in seconding the motion, declared his entire concurrence in the sentiments expressed by Mr. Milea.—Sir Janus Graham controverted Mr. Miles'* posi. tion, that the distress of the agricultural interest was not local bnt general throughout the United Kingdom, and al. serted that in Ireland, Scotland, and in the north of England, agriculture was in a prosperous condition.—A long debate ensued, in the coarse of which Lord J. Russell and Sir Robert Peel addressed the House and the motion was niti. mately rejected by a majority of 36.-The House then went into Committee on the Customs Duties Act, and after several items had been agreed to, the Honse adjourned at a quarter past two o'clock. On Tuesday evening, after the transaction of private bnidness, Lord Dunem brought forward the motion, of which had Jiyen notice, on the subject of the window-tax. The Noble Lord went into a great number of details, shew. iqx the injustice of the tax, and concluded by moving for a Select Committee to inquire into the present mode of as- seasing, levying, and collecting the window dnties in Great Britain, and to report their opinion thereupon to the House. -C.pt; Ross seconded the motion; which was opposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, because agreeing to it wonld be equivalent to an admission that the tax ought to he immediately repealed—a s'ep which no Hon. Gentleman would, under existing eircnmstances, think of recommend- ing, when it was remembered that no less than one million and a half of revenue was involved in the question.—After a long discussion the motion was negatived by a majority of46.—Jfr, G. W. Hope, in moving for certain papers re- lating to New Zealand, took the opportunity of vindicating the conduct which Lord Stanley had pursued in his nego- tiations with the New Zealand Compaoy.- He was replied to by Mr. Charles Buller, who concluded an admirable ad- dress by moving, as an amendment—"For the production of all correspondence that bad taken place between Lord Stanley and the New Zealand Company."—After an angry debate, the motion was agreed to, and the Hoase adjourned at a quarter to two o'clock.

Shorllv after m> Father s arrival at Carmarthen, he was requested to tillow his likeness to be taken lor the Town, and he then informed the Mayor of his having accepted your oiler before he left London He had naturally supposed that Ihe Corporation of Carmarihen would wish a portralllnlended for their Town-Hall, to be painted by a fellow-townsman. The Cast was taken by Mr. Francison thefl fiflh dRY after death; he had made an unsuccessful attempt two days previously.

I THE LATE REV. DR. HEWSON.
I THE LATE REV. DR. HEWSON. I I\ the death of the Rev. Dr. HEWSON, Vicar of fSwansea, which litis week it is our melancholy duty to gannonnce, our town has sustained a loss, the depth and |magniiude of which it is as difficult to estimate, as it viilia |soon he found not easy to repair. Under ihe citcnin-S ^stances ot ordinary friendship or relationship, this chiliing| inexorable visitation of COD'S all-wise providence! seldom fails to transform the scenes of domestic hap-f piness, and the mirth of the least thoughtful and sus-j cepiible, into indications of pensive gloom and affliclivej Sadness; but what moral element, in such common occur-# rences, can sustain comparison with the touching conditions| cepiible, into indications of pensive gloom and affliclivej Sadness; but what moral element, in such common occur-# rences, can sustain comparison with the touching conditions| ^of that deeper event, in which a large and populous town? lis suddenly called upon to suffer from the abrupt extinetionj of its brightest light-in which a numeronsly-inhabiteda parish of enlightened Christians is summoned, at once andj without condition, to accept the hard terms of the calamitousa sentence, which peremptorily and for ever removes from amongst them one who, for the long period of thirty-two years, under the direct view of all, led a life of exemplary piety-of unceasing and active usefulness-of spotless in. legrity; an upright and revered Pastor, who was the confidential friend of their parents, the instructor of their y< nth, and the honoured instrument in the moral training of a new generation;—one who, on all occasions, employed the opportunities of his sacred office to the inculcation of roles and precepts, of which his private life was a practical lapplication, and of doctrines on which his private habits awere a rigid and undeviating commentary. In the history gof Swansea, the least interested can scarcely refuse to Badmit that the death of such a man assumes the magnitude got an important epoch—removed distantly from the category of ordinary events. Within the extended range of half a century, it can happen no more than once. Apart, there- fore, from the feelings of deep and unmingled respect which awe ourselves entertain for the memory of Dr. HEWSON, we hope that we are achieving a public good, and withal acting. under the concurrent sentiments of all, in holding np to the admiration of a wider circle than that within which his gefficient ministrations were circumscribed, the exalted Equalities of his character. ■ The death of ihe Rev. Dr. HEWSON took place in London, on the 14th instant, at the comparatively early age of sixty- three years. For a period of thirty-two years, Dr. HEWSON has almost throughout, with the greatest constancy and regularity, personally discharged the sacred and responsible duties annexed to his important station as Vicar of Swansea —an extensive and nnmeronsly-populated parish, diversified by many denominations of Christians. As Chancellor and Canon of St. David's, and Rural Dean for the upper division of Gower, Dr. HEWSON has long ranked amongst the superior dignitaries of the Church. | In his capacity of Chairman of the Swansea Board of Gnardians-an office which he filled with great pnnctuality, ftom the fi st establishment of the" Union" to the close ofl his life-his unrivalled usefulness will long be cherished in grateful recollection. In his position as Magistrate, the efficient services ren. dered by Dr. HEWSON will long be appreciated. In all these manifold relationships in which for so many years he stood connected with onr neighbourhood, the ever- shining feature of his condnct, imparting a commanding dignity to his deportment and expressions, was his inviolable regard to the claims of truth and justice. His decisions on all public occasions were marked by great aenmen of dis- crimination, extensive knowledge of [he multifold springs of hnman actions, and singular accuracy and penetration in the detection of imposture. In the performance of his duty, in whatever direction it lay, he was stedfast and conscien- tious—ever-ready to lend the kind ear of friendship and sympathy to the objects of real distress, and always willing, when the stringency of official rules fettered the hand of charity, 10 meliorate the painfnl conditions of real indigence by the commiserating promptings of his own feelings No man was ever more distinguished than Dr. HEWSON for the possession of those rare qualities of heart and mind which incited to a zealous and inflexible attachment to his own ^principles, notwithstanding Ihe liberality and politeness with9 which, in every instance, he encountered and treated the! prejudices and differences of others. By such conduct,! prejudices and differences of others. By such condncr, uniformly maintained to the last scene in the drama of his useful life and honourable career, he succeeded in winning the attachment, and continued to the end to deserve the: friendship and good-will of a!! the denominations and classes of his parishioners. Notlrng could he conceived as a higher and more gratifying proof of the worthiness and uptightness of bis character, alid of the exalted position which it occu- pied in the estimation of this town, than when, on the pre- sentation of a Service of Plate to him by the Poor-la^ Guardians, in testimony of the value which, they attached to his services as their President, and in proof of the high respect which they bore for his character, all classes of Dissenters willingly nrged forwards with their contributory girts, in promotion of the pleasing object. In private friendship, Dr. HBWiON was noble-minded, stedfast, obliging, and mo*t faithful. In the discharge of his Magisterial duties, the noble qualities of his heart, the extensive and varied resources of his mind, the force, accuracy, and elegance of his language, challenged the admiration of all. Bnt with these must be conjoined the higher and still more estimable qualities which tinctured with the hnetof religious sobriety, and pervaded with religious earnestness, every act of his official life;— kis jealous anxiety to be npright and impartial in the admi- nistration of justice. With snch principles as the guide of his life-with snch mental and moral resources as the instru- ments of doing good, how difficult to discover another man competent to occupy the numerous positions of trust and usefulness rendered vacant by hi* lamented death For the conclusion of this brief and imperfect sketch of his life, we have reserved the notice of his qualifications as a minister of religion. Though distinguished by many elocutionary peculiarities, Dr. HEWSON undoubtedly ranked high as a Pieacher. No higher guarantee of his pulpit popularity could be men-B tioned, than that his stated hearers rarely, if ever, wishedg to exchange the voice of their Pastor for that of a stranger; nor are we acquainted with any more prominent iustanceB of the control and power which the practical example of private life carries with it to the pnlpit. Every hearer feltg strongly impressed by the persuasion, that in his pnblic discourses he invited to no heights of practical piety tofl which he did not himself attain; and ilins it was that the efficipncyof his ministrations heightened, and the impres-8 sions produced by each successive sermon, deepened nnderS the influence of the consistency and integrity of his life, and the respectful reverence in which his character was held. I Throughout the long career of his Ministerial life, Dr. HEWSON* has never been known to wander into extremes^ in the principles and professions of his religious views—B consistency in practice and profession, in precept and ex. ample, was the ever-dnring characteristic of his religionsH life. His discourses uniformly bore the stamp of stiperiotS scholarship, of high literary attainments, and of gieat ear- nestne-s of conviction in the importance and truth of the doctrines which he taught. B Dr. HEWSON was an nptight man, a sincere and conllistent Christian, and an exemplary citizen. He was a man who lived as he died, in the respect of all. These are, indeed B the laurels which the potent hand of death by one sad strok S has just transmuted into the weeping cypress which now mourns his much-regretted departure fl Is it presumption in believing that, if-such a viitnous lifeH :e8 that which we have inadequately pourGrayed — snch a religions course as lhal which we have delineated—in the death of out revered Vicar, Swansea has to bewail the de- privation of the central prop of its morality nnd respects-fl bility-the Church has parted with an useful man and unswerving Minister—that.earth has hid adieu to a stedfast fl Christian—that Heaven has gained a deserving occupant! fl

SflfT"rt-1 WALES RAILWAY. —In the Hottseof Commons. on Tuesday, the Sooth Wales Railway Bill was ordered 10 be brought in by Viscount Einiyn, Col. Rice Trevor, andfl Sh John GueM. fl SWANSEA MECHANICS' INSTITUTION'.—a Public 1 Meeting, in connexion with this thriving institute, took placefl last eveniog, at ihe Theatre ot the Royal Institution which9 was well filled by a highly regpectabie as&embUge, amongst fl whom were many hdieq, L. 1.1. Dillwyn, President of the 8 Institution, took the chair, and was ablv supposed hy the Vice-president9, Dr. Bird and Richard Aubrey, E<q. Thp meeting was addressed by Mr. John Jenkins, F.A.S. lhe3 |liev. T. Dudd, Dr. Bird, Mr. W. II. Michael, ibe [tev. C.ig Kavanagh, Mr. John Lewis, Mr. Pugh, Mr. R. Aubrey, Uev. D. Davies, ami Mr. Moggridge. In |],e eourse 0(- ibe| evening, a report ol the past years' ptoceedings was read by J the Secietary, which indicated a surplus of 6J. on the ex-|j 'pendilure of the year. A vote of (hanks to the Chairman f having been given, 35 new members came fotward, aud enrolled their names, Jj Il is intended to erect a New Shire-hall in Aberay-* ron, in consequence of its being pioj»osed to hold the Cardi-J ganshiie Quarter Sessions at that place, £ ■,MFI'IARTWIII TNWMHIIIUMIMIBMIRI ITIWWMMIINIIWFAIIII INIIN RM IMIIIIIINI I J We understand the p&Hmftutrjr »orvey of the Tin. for the Welsh Midland Railway is proceeding most satis- factorily, an excellent locomotive road having been fonmi from Worcester to Swansea, exceedingly cheap in construc- tion, and with good working gradients. The difficulty ex- pected at the Malvern Hills, between Hereford and Wor- cester, has proved to be of no magnitude. At the head of I the Swansea valley, where the line will have to pass into the inside country, a tunnel of three quarters of a mile, or there- abouts, near Canwr, on the Black Mountain, will suffice. The line from Brecon to Merthyr was surveyed some years ago by Palmer, and only estimated by him to cost 100,000/ tor a single line. The Llanelly Railway Act gave powers, which have lapsed, to continue that line lo Llandilo, so that the intermediate country is known. The traffic, as far a<« jitaken, proves extensive, beyond any estimate that was formed t'of it. There appears, theiefore, no doubt of the prospectus j? being issued immediately after Eas er, under the most fa- vourable circumstances. The feeling at Swansea is very I warm on the subject, and all the interests of the valley a e ^united in support of the direct inland line. In the upper | parts of Carmarthenshire, and in the Borough of Carmar- then, the warmest support, we understand, is proffered. GJ CHAPEL OF EASE AT RHYMXEY.—We have authority £ to announce, that a Chapel of Ease is immediately lo be built fin Rhymney, tbe Church, although very large, being loo rsmall to contain the overflowing Welsh congregation. The Lgentlemen connected with the Rhymney Iron Works have, 1 unsolicited, handsomely contiibuted the sum of 8001. towards fithe erection of the same; and the Lord Bishop of Llandaff, |with his wonted munificence, contributed 1002. Thus a sum gof 900/. have been subscribed in less than three weeks. jgThree hundred pounds more will be sufficient to complete the contemplated building—one-third of which sum wil), without much difficulty, be collected in the place. No -application has, as yet, been made to the Church Building Society. Thus much for the unprecedented progress and success of the Church principles on the hills. 9 CARDIFF SCHOOLS Folt THE EDUCATION OF THE SPOOR.—The 29lh Annual Report of the Committee has been gduly printed and circulated amongst the subscribers, from which it appears that 3041 children have received instruc- tion in these schools since their establishment in 1815, on which occasion the pre ent Marquis of Bute presided. New School-rooms and a Master's residence are about to be Serected in Whitmore-lane, in St. Mary's parish, on a site figiven by the noble President, amply sufficient, as well for the buildings as for play-grounds attached. S Cowbridge FAIR.—This fair was held on Tuesday last. The show of fat cattle was rather better than ex- pected, and sold freely at advanced prices; bnt, in con- seqnence of the shortness of fodder, there was little or no demand for store cattle. The demand for sheep was pretty brisk—but the supply limited. The horses were the poorest that have been seen at Cowbridge for many years, very few of which changed hands. THE WELSH BISHOPRICS.— We beg to remind our readers of the importance of memoralizing the Queen and of peiitioniug Parliament, in favour of the doomed Welsh Bishopric. Earl Powis has already given notice of his intention to move in the matter immediately after Easter, therefoie, no time should be lost in preparing memorials and petitions to be ready for presentation to the Queen and to Pailiament, by the time the Noble Earl makes his motion in the House of Lords. With a very large number of me- morials and petitions then ready, his Lordship's hands will be immensely strengthened, and those of the Government proportionally weakened. Considering the formal point upon which the Noble Lord was defeated last year, it ia presumed that his Lordship's motion will this year be fop an humble address to her Majesty, to allow the subject to be introduced. As the Government last year deemed this a necessary preliminary, of which they as a matter of state craft availed themselves at the last moment, when they saw a probability of their being out-voted, it is presumed that they will this year bring all their forces to bear in opposition to a motion to ask her Majesty's permission for the intro- duction of a bill to repeal so much of an Act of the late reign as relates to the uuion of the Sees of St. Asaph and Bangor. Hence the necessity for immediate action and we do earnestly hope that every clergyman will exert himself in this matter at once, and not suffer anything, however pressing it may appear to be, to cause him 10 put off this most necessary business of prepaiing petitions and sending them to proper persons for presentation. To Earl Powis- for the House of Lords, and to Sir Robert Inglis or Loid Clive for the House of Commons, they may be safely con- fided, or they may be forwarded to Mr. John James, secretary of the Cymreigyddion Society, 165, Aldersgate- street, London. Success having been so nearly obtained last year, will we trust inspire all with the confidence of tliis- year accomplishing their object. We do sincerely hope that the Archbishop of Canterbury will now see better than to set himself in direct and almost solitary opposition to the wishes of the people and best interests of the Church. Of Ihe Bishop of London we have hopes thl! l this year hi& Lordship will be on the right side, and not again oppose so wholesome a step as the preservation of one of our ancient Bishoprics. Only let Churchmen at once make a powerful toovement and the object is fully secured. REBECCA AGAIN.— A Correspondent writes—"On Saturday night last, the 15th inst., or earlv on Sunday morn. ing, some outrageous ruffians broke off the staples, and drew off its hinges a gate, which was on a wood near Ynisy- get wn, wnd threw it ou the middle of the high road, to the great danger and inconvenience of travellers. Some of those wanton poachers think it proper to avenge themselves by destroying private property but I trust that they shall meet that punishment which is their deserto. FIRE 1:\1 CARDIFF CHtJHCH-SOOII after theconclusion of the secontllessoo, in St. John's Church, Cardiff, on Sunday morning last, a strong smell of burning wood was very apparent; and shortly afterwards flaines butst from a pew, which had caught fire from a stove, used for heating the church. The alarm of the congiegation was depicted on their ronntenances, and the rush to the different means of egress was very great, but fortunately, with the exception of a few biuses, no accident happened. Prompt measuie^ were adopted in order to extinguish the flames, which, with a plentiful supply of water, and the assistance of a troop of soldiers who were in church at the time, was soon done. Had the fire occurred at any oilier lime, the destruction of the edifice was inevitable, and the injury done only extended to three pews, which were completely destroyed. As most of the congregation had dispersed, the remaining part of lb. morning's service was omitted. F'RE—On Saturday evening last. a most dreadful fire broke oot at a place Called Caswrddy, a row of thatched cottages in the neighbourhood of Hanefy, Carmai thenshire^ The straw and timber being so exceedingly dry, it spread with such Mtonishing rapidity, that in a few minutes the whole place was enveloped in flames and all the praise- worthy efforts of the inultiinde to arrest its progress proved unavailing, for it blew a gale of «ind at the lime, and n& water at hand. We are happy, however, to state that there were no lives lost, and that the furniture of the inmates was preserved. The houses sieod upon an eminence, so that the fire could be distinctly seen from many parts of Glamor(aft- shire and Pembrokeshire, and even from the island of Caldy.
