Boxee, 5s.; Pit, 2s.; Gallery, Is. -+- -+--+- CAUTION.—A. man drfsbed in a. shabby black coat, who has lost an eye, and travels in a gig with a brown horse, made his ap- pearance in Swansea yesterday and solicited subcriptions for a new publication respect- ing Botany Bay. • In one instance we know, tie obtained lialf-a-guinea from a gentleman in thi6 town, saying he had the book with him, and would deliver it personally, but darned to another person, who questioned him on the subject, that he was to dcliver it in iess than ten days; and finding that he was suspected, decamped rather hastily. Our friends to the westward, and the public would do well to be on their guard, as there is strong reason to believe that he is a swindler. In this town he confined his visits to genteed private houses, and siiowed a newspaper in which the work is advertised, together with a long list of subscribers. On Monday last Colonel Marlden inspected the Swansea Cavalry, commanded by Captain Hughes; Sir G. Powell's troop of cavalry; four companies of the Western. Glamorgan- shire Regiment, commanded by Colonel Llewelyn ■ and the Prince of Wales' Fusilier's, coun mantled by Colonel Vaughan; all of which went through their evolutions, much to has suitleiiactxm. On Tuesday Colonel Madden inspected the Forest Ride Corps, commanded by Captain Jeffreys (in the ab- sence of Major Lockwood), with whose man- oeuvres and advanced state of discipline he expressed himself peculiarly gratified. Same day he inspected three companies of the Western Glamorgan at Neath; and on Wed- nesday the three remaining companies at Bridgend, who were deservedly compli- mented by the inspecting officer upon their appearance and discipline. -+--+-+-+--+- Theatricals.-—The attendance at our new Theatre on Friday, Monday, and Wednesday teet must have been highly gratifying to the manager, to whose merits all give the willing meed of praise. The performers, too, de- serve every commendation, and for the ample justice which they render to the several parts allotted to them. Mr. Cherry s excellent production, "The Travellers, "or Music's Fascination," announced for Monday night (see advertisement) cannot fail, we think of drawing a good house. -+-<-+- -+- We are happy to find that the spirit of ffiamng speculation is begining £ o show itself strongly in IroLartd. Several dargoes of the richest copper ore that lias ever been aeeBL in Swansea, have been sold here this summer, from the Rosa Island Mine, in the Lake of KilLarii' V; CouraoiRoir Lapp, of Cork, who is largelv concerned with these mines, has just passed through Swansea-, on his way to Ireland from Cornwall, where he, has engaged a number of miners fof the pur- pose. of working a mine on the estate of tins Earl of Derby, near the town of Tipperary, which, from the very superior quality of the copper ore, promises considerable benefit to the country and to the adventure. The ad- vantages of an undertaking of this nature, in a country where the modes of employing the lower classes of the community are so few can be readily imagined. We ;ire assured that the Ross Island mine and the Eiinin- oorthy mine have given almost constant em- ployment to 1,000 persons for the last three years. -+- -+-+- An old lady residing- at Little Newcastle, in the neighbourhood of Fishguard, in the county of Pembrokeshire, of the age of 92, who had lost all her teeth several years ago, has, to the astonishment of her friends., cat five new teeth within the last twelve months, and enjoys herself so slight satisfaction at being once more able to bite a crust. --+-+- "In the time of Queen Elizabeth of our Tudor race (jwys a corresjx>nde<nt) when this island was threatened with a Spanish inva- sion, every pulpit I with prayers to the Almighty for his protection; every pul- pit rung with exhortations to the people to defend their country. Is it not the duty of the Established—the Dissenting—the Methodist clergy ar pre&e*nt to rouse their hearers to sail-defence ? Vve should keep1 our eyes wide open to the iniininertce of the dan.ge,r we are in France ;.yv*c v an im- mence army of veterans, headed by the m-ost capable and experienced of jnanerals; command's nearly every port in Europe, from the Baltic to Gibraltar; from any of which she may watch an opportunity to invade. Our safety, under Heave. can alone ar is-1 from our becoming a military people; every man should be provided with arms, and should .'ticcustom himself to their use. In every parish the ancient custom of shooting at a target should b revived; the exercise of arms will not impede our agricultural or our commercial pursuits. Every individual ought to be prepared to repel the jxvad^r of has native Lmd; to prevent his property from being plundered, his person from being emhvoo 11i6 wife a.1Id daughters from leing violated by a merciless foreign roldiery. Above all we. the descendants of the ancient Curnrv (sic) should not forget ancestors, who for seven hi'' elided years defended their country aga-initt a f«--reign foe. So descended, our being daeta-ruly Or ^wwardly wtraid bring down upon us a t-rni^d disgrace. LORD BYPb'v S PO ENIS.

The damage suffered by the Cheea- peak is represented as being more serious and extensive, except in the loss of livee, than was at first suppo&ed. She received in her hull 22 round shot, her foce and her main masts were destroyed, and her mizen- iBaat much injured and her standing rigging and sails greatly cut about. The lots in killed stated in one account to be three; in another two; and of the wounded (2.3) eight are considered dangerous. Ttie Com- modore suffered a contrusion from a. splinter, and a midshipman was slightly wcnin<ied. A letter from New York, the 30th June, men- tions: "That a Cabinet COlUlcil lias been called by the President of the United State* to act upon the outrage committed by the British ship of war Leopard, upon the United States frigate Chesapeak."

Monday, August 3rd.—Mr. Sheridan presen- ted a petition to the House, signed, he said, by 1,000 respectable persons, Ctnga-ged. in the biswexy, distillery and victualling business, complaining of hardships, oppressions and cruelties experienced in their business, under the partial and capricious exercise of the control vested in magistrates for granting or withholding licenses from publicans in var- ious parts Ö of the Kingdom.—The petition was received and ordered to lie on the table. Mr. Sheridan sa-id it wms not his purpose at present to trespass long upon the attention of the House. He would barely beg leave to recapitulate a few of the leading f-eatures of the petition; which was in substance much the same, with several others as had recently been presented upon the same subject. It stated that the petitioners felt themselves in the prediea-ment of being eompeJIed to rest their property, their industry, their live- lihood and the means of existence from their families solely on the discretion and often on the mere caprice of magistrates, acting se- cretly and often influenced b., partial and prejudiced misrapresentatans. He did not by any means wish to take from the magis- trates" the just control with which thev are already vested of granting licenses of this kind; he was convinced that the control was justly and wisely exercised by the ^ou-ntry gentlemen of England, who executed, with- out fee or reward, the arduous and trouble- some pi-does of magistracy: but he believed there was no impropriety in drawing a line of distinction between these gentlemen and another species oi justice, who acted for pay undier the government, and did not always act with the impartialitv and calm discretion rlsat characterised magistrates of the_ other descriftion. The object of the petitioners, and that which he wished was, that those licenses should not be granted or withdrawn in srer-d but openly at the Quarter Sessions in a iudicial way. and that those who apnlied aiid were refused, shoaild liavo full oppor- tunity of hearing the objections against them, and vindicating themselves from suggestions often proceeding from &ecret enemies; and allowing these persons aftarwards, if they should find it necessary, to apoeal to the Court of King's Bench. He would therefore move for leave to bring in a bill for that purpose. After srome conversabicm, leave was given t.c hrirg irL the bul.
