THE « PROTECTION" MEETING AT BRIDGEND. A large and influential county meeting lias held at Bridgend, tor the purpose of taking into consideiation the propriety of ad- dressing parliament on the course of legislation now beitig pur- sued by the House of Cr.mmons, on the sulject of the Repeal of the Navigation Laws, aud humbly to pray parliament, that it will at once take into its eonsideiatioh tliepoiey of relieving the agriculture of the country fiom such taxes and impositions as bear heavily and injuriously on its productive industry and re- sources. The meeting having been opened by the High Sheriff, R. Boteler, Ksq., C. R. 1\1. Talbot, Esq., moved the first resolution, and said: What were the Navigation Laws? 1 hey were comprised in a gieat variety of statutes, but the intention of all of them was the same, namely, in keepinc; up of the supremacy of the maritime dominion of Ureat Biitaiu. These laws were ^enacted by par- liament at vaiious periods and they contained numerous pro- visions, all tending to one objeci. For example, the produce of the East Indies cannot be brought to this country in foreign strips the trade with our colonics can only be carried on in British ships. A variety of re8triction were imposed upon foreign vessels, wi h the view of having the of British vessels properly remunerated and protected, and 10 secure fair wacs to to the British seaman nod to the British .shipwright. He firmly believed that those laws had had that effect; and when he slated 10 the meeting the present amount of the British shipping in- terest, he thought they would agree with hun that its welfare was a consideration not to be lightly passed over. (Bear, hear). There arc more than 200,000 men who drew their daily bread from serving on boaid liie mercantile navy of Great Britain. (Hear). Those men had families to suppcit; and he should not be very far wrong il he look the toial amount of persons who are dependent upon the mercantile navy for their subsistence at 500,00O. He thought the meeting would agree with him that the withdrawal of protection from that branch of our trade in which so many were interested was a serious matter. (Cheers) If parliament should legislate in any manner that would iuju. riously aflect the interests of 500,000 of our feltow.creatures, he thought they would all lind eventually that they were .1 in the same boat together. (Hear). He was sure they would not leave their brethren to Mnk wiihoui holding out a helping hand. (Cheeis). There are registered British vessels whose tonage amount to no less three million tons; therefore, the property that would be affecteu by any change in the Navigation Laws was vast. Intimately connected with the Navigation Laws was the subject ol free trade. In point of fact, to repeal the Navigation Laws was to establish free trade in shipping. (Hear). They had tried the experiment of free trade in corn and he asked them whether they felt any desire to extend to theslllPPlllg in- terests ihe disadvantages under which they (theagrlcu)oulahsls) were now suffering. YVhat was the effect of free trade Cheap- ness. Cheapness was the God ot the free traders. For thai they were piepaied lo sacrifice the prospeiily of this great coun- try. He confessed, lie knew it was an unpopular opinion but he could not help saying that he preferred high prices, with high wages and high profits, lo low prices, low wages, and low profits (Cheers L He was glad that in that seutiiuent the meeting coin- cided with hiin but such was not the sentiment of the free traders. The object of the free traders was to reduce everything to the lowest possible price—to let us have everything cheap; to buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market, is a prin- clple they advocate. That IS a tiuism which no one will at- tempt to contioveit but theie isafallacy involved in ii, because e who buys cheaply must eventually sell cheaply too. It is impossible to avoid that consequence for any lengthened peiiod So surely us the price of corn fell so wound the price of tverj- 'hing else and the ultimate lesult would be low prices in every branch of our manufactures and commerce. Mr. Talbot having proposed a resolution agreeably to the pur- pose of the meeting, which was seconded by Howell Gwyn, Ksq., it was carried as was a second, proposed by Sir Geoige lylsr stconded by Capt. Hichardson. Mr. Jenkins edit jr of the Swanseu Herald, moved an amend- ment, and, in the course of his speech, he said, "All expe- ritnre i one usively proved, the more commerce was interfered with by legislative enactments, the worse for its success and the less governments interfered with the expansion of trade, the better it was for the race of men at luge. (Cheers). France had tried the experiment of interfering with and restricting na- vigation, and had found, since 1830 that by degress it had a must injurious effect and operated unfavourably on the in- crease of the shipping of that country. With deference to the lord-lieutenant, lie would ask—was the adoption of free trade principles now a matter of choice ? The principles of free trade were b ginning to make great progress in other nations, but they nt urally said, that if we kept up restrictive Navigation laws, they would impose still greiiter restrictions. Which would eventually be the greatest losers ? A return to protection was impossible They might as well endeavour to reverse the course of the sun in the heavens. Free trade was notlJing more than ihe application to legislation of the progressive tendencies of the age. These could not be resisied The farmer having been deprived of his protection, as an act of justice was it not right that the ship- owner should give up his protection '} They could not go back to protection for the farmer, and he (Mr. Jenkins) would never bean advocate fcr a partial free trade in agricultural produce, while the shipowner or other blanches of commerce wele pro. tected. Justice to the farmer demanded that it they could not go back, they must go forward, it was impossible for them— for any party to do this they were attempting an imposibili y if they tried to do it. All the circumstances of this and other countries were against the restoration ot protection. Mr. Jen- kins concluded by proposing an amendment. Mr. Thomas Lewis, brewei and farmer, Bridgend, said that although the centleman who had proposed the amendment (Mr. Jenkins) was a perfect stranger to him, yet be had no hesitation in seconding it. The amendment being negatived, T. W. Booker, Esq., said he appeared before them as a mill- owner and manufacturer—one ot that class through whose noisy clamour, and fur whose assumed benefit these reckless changes had been made in the institutions of the country, and which he believed, unless cheeked and resisted, aye, and reversed too, by the strong practical good sense and reflection of the people of this country, deliberately and firmly expressed, must lead to disas- trous results—to the ruin and destruction of our most valued In- stitutions (cheers). After reading the resolution, Mr. Booker proceeded. He need not enter into dttails to point out how Glamorganshire was interested in ngriculture and shipping. The produce of her manufacturing industry was not less than five mil- lions annually. I he humble individual now addressing them was compelled to find £1000 in hard cash every week for his workmen, and therefore considered that he was as deeply in- terested in the prosperity of manufactures as many gentlemen of the Manchestei school (hear, hear). The ctrecls of free-trade on shipping, and consequently on the interests of this county, been so ably described by the lord-lieutenant and Mr. Richardson, that he need not point out how Glamorganshire, from Cardiff in the east, to Swansea in the west, was largely in- terested in the prosperity of the shipping trade. As it regarded the interests of agriculture, he could not say how the farmer could live with wheat at 42s. per qr., and beef at 4Jd. per lb. Let them look to the mines and manufactories of this district. Moie than half the furnaces were silent, with the machinery en- tirely stopped. In his opinion the COUI se of legislation pursued had contributed asmucw to produce such results at home as revo- lutionary designs had in other countries. This legislation had been thè means of unsettling everything. It had elfecltlally stopped all expenditure. Mr. liooker then proceeded to argue that this county more prosperous at periods when agricultural products commanded high prices. He alluded to 1815, when agriculturists wete getting 110s. per quarter for wheat, and they had afterwards sufficient pluck and courage to susiain the prices at the time of the wnrs, He would be happy to see an entire re. vision of taxation. This was much required. They seldom met two pa ishes or two counties assessed on the same principle. After reading a communication from a ship-owner, who had inva- riably beeu a consistent supporter of the Whigs, condemnatory of the proposed ineasuies in reference to the Navigation Laws, Mr. Booker asked how could the English shipowner compete wIth the foreigner, when it had been ascertained from the best data that for every 30s. expended in navigating a ship by the British owner, the Prussian spent only 9s. 4d., the Dane 7s. 7d and the Norwegian 7s., &c. The greatest soldier of his day, who was only surpassed by our own Wellington. had said that our strength lay in our ships, colonies, and commerce. Could he only have sunk our ships, disconnected our colonies, and so dis- pelled onr commerce, imgland would soon have become his easy prey. After some additional refeiences to official returns, Mr. Booker said that he had read and listened, and brought to the consideration of this question such an intellect as bis Cieator had given him be had, moieover, brought to its consideration all the natural bias ot bis ciass; he had "read and listened to the daring assertions and exhortations of the great champion of free trade—the man of unadorned eloquence." (Laughter.) He had likewise carefully perused the subtle quackery of the other eminent member of the Manchester school, friend Bright,"— (a laugh)—and had likewise read all the subterfuges of Sir Robt. Peel, and they entirely failed to convince him but that their con- clusions were entirely delusive and fallacious. The meeting soon after separated.

HIGn PRESSURE STEAM.—This mode of mine ventilation is about being tried in one of Messrs. Vivian and Coo's collieries, in the neighbourhood of Swansea. THE GOODRICH OlJHT COLLECTION'.—A report is in circu- lation that the unique collection of armoury &c. at Goodrich Court, so industriously collected by the late Sir Samuel Mey- rick, is likely to be lost to the county of Hereford. It is said that this admirable collection of curiosities, which have been shown to the public under certain restrictions, will ere long be brought to the hammer. > GALVANISM.-—The following is extracted from the Court Jour. nalol January AJ; It is now about four years since, that we informed our readers, it was to be regretted galvanism was not more extensively used as a remedial agent. We have every reason to believe that our advice was attended to, for, in a com- paratively short time, Mr. Halse's residence was crowded with the elite ot as uon, and their less fortunate fellow-sufferers and we feel confident, judging from the astonishing remedial effects it has produced on ourselves, after all kinds ot medicines and hydropathy had failed to impart any benefit, that the public will thank us or the recommendation.

NE PORT WATCH COMMITTEE. TUESDAY, APRIL 25. The Mayor took the chair at six o'clock—Messrs. E. Thomas, L. Edwards, T. Hughes, J. Latch, n. Mullock, J. Davies, T. urncr, and S. Iggulden, being present. P. C. Hopkins, son of the former superintendent, was put upon the first-class list, and his services and attention to duty favorably spoken of; P.C. Parsons, disliking night duty, was allowed to resign; and P.C. Ilcoper to go to Gloucester fur three weeks for change of air, he being ill. The question of appointing a new constable in the room of Parsons was nega- tived it being considered that in the summer season, the force might safely be lessened. The subject of a van for the conveyance of prisoners to Usk and Monmouth, in lieu of the present unsafe and discreditable mode, was referred to the next committee; members in the meantime to make general inquiries as to cost of new vehicle, horsing, &c. The necessary alterations in the Pillgwenlly station, the formation of cells, inscription of a name on the outside, and laying of drains, are to be procccdcl with forthwith. THE GAS SUBJECT. Mr. Evans, the mayor, said that as the usual business of the committee had been gone through, and there were present gentlemen who were both improvement commissioners and gas works shareholders, lie would wish to bring a matter import- tan t to both, aniU indeed, to the public at large, before their notice. It appeared to him, in common with many other ex- tensive consumers of gas, to be somewhat strange, that while the improvement commissioners were only 15s. per public light, or just 3s. per 1000 cubic feet of gas, the nrivate consumer should be obliged to pay at the rate of 7s. Id. n'ett per 1000 feet. It had bëen stated to him in a letter by Mr. Spinney, the gas contractor at the works, that the latter charge was laid on the private consumer, to cover the smallness of the sum charged on the public light. But he saw no reason why this anomaly should be and it was a matter of right, of common sense, that it should be looked into. • Mr-^luShes: 'Ihe price per 1000 feet for the public lights is not 3s., but 3s. Cd. Mr. Mullock considered with the mayor, that this was a pro- per subject for inquiry. Mr. Igguldcn thought they exhibited a commendable public spirit in paying a higher figure for private lights, that the pub- lic might not be so heavily burdened with the cost of public lights. Mr. Mullock Was of opinion that the increased consumption would be very considerable, were the cost reduced. Gas might then be introduced into private dwellings, which would rapidly compensate the gas company for any reduction of charges they might make. The Mayor: In the Nottingham Gas Company's Act, the Commons compel the proprietors to equalise the sum paid by the private consumer and the corporation. Mr. Hughes deprecated the idea that the company could afford to reduce the cost of gas to the private consumer, while, he said, that body were losing money by every public light in the town. If there were an increase of private lights, the average cost might be reduced. The company now kept the price as low as possible, as a matter of course, to induce a larger consumption. The cost to the company, of bringing the gas to market, was immense, without producing a corresponding remuneration. Indeed, no less than £ -50(1. had been expended in carrying the gas to the docks for consumption though the profits realised from the lights there, would not pay for the ne- cessary repairs, See. This, however, might be different, should an additional number of lamps be erected there. The cost of laying the pipes through the streets was altogether about £10,000. He had no hesitation in saying gas might be manu- factured at Is. 6d. per 1000 feet; but where was the cost of the works, of carrying the gas into the market, of constant repairs and alterations—of, in fact, the general maintenance of the establishment, to come from ? This should be considered, as well as tho actual and bare figure at which the gas might be manufactured. Mr. E.Thomas: The price is certainly less in other towns than here. Might not the gas, in point of fact, be manufactured at (id. per 1000 feet ? Mr. Hughes: Possibly it might, if there was a good market for the coke made, which there is not at present; and if it were not for the expense of the machinery for cairying the gas into the market. The Mayor It is a question which will certainly be taken up by private consumers, who see no reason why they should pay a higher rate, because the public lights are charged at a lower. Mr. Iggulden To what extent may the improvement rate be extended ?—[ I'o Is. 3d.]-Well; it is one shilling now and if it is one shilling now; and if the commissioners have to pay a higher figure for their lamps, a fifteen-penny rate will be ne- cessary, and even that, at the expense of the constant require- ments of repairs, &c., of the public roads so that nearly all the money would be swallowed up in the cost of gas. The Mayor said Mr. Spinney was then at the Westgate and had intimated, that should his presence be considered of any service, that gentleman would readily attend. Mr. Spinney was therefore waited upon, and shortly after- wards came into the room. Mr. Hughes remarked, that the cost of two private lights added to that of one public light, an average of 6s. each light per JOOO feet would be obtained. The Mayor: Yes; but. why should the prices be 7s. ld. to one party, and 3s. 6d. to the other, when that average of 6s. would suffice? I burn it all over my house; and consider it a safer, cheaper, and better light than candles; and while I would wish to reduce the cost on myself, I also wish to see other consumers lightened of the burden as well. Mr..Spinney having been here informed of the nature and object of the discussion, observed The cost, to the private con sumer was the greater, to make up the deficiency on the public lights; and this principle was recognised in almost every other gas company. It was a long lane, however, that had no turning. In the Nottingham Bill, for instance, the Commons committee wished to see the price equalised; and at Cheltenham, it was intended to equalise the price as nearly as possible. How it would be in Newport, it was not for him to say though none could be, he thought, averse to a more equitable principle. —- There was always a certain portion of gas going into the market under the cost price; and yet the shareholders expected a fair dividend. How was this to be realised ? Why, they must rob Peter to pay Paul. lie could not enter into the minutiae of the matter—he simply stated the broad facts. There was one axiom upon which gas companies always depended— consumption governed price; not the cost of coal; and he might remark, that the early-closing movement had a great deal to do with decreasing the consumption, and, by consequence, reducing the profits of the proprietors. The cost of £3. 15s. per public light, or 3s. (id. per 1000 feet, in this place, was nothing like commensurare with the actual cost. The company had first to provide capital; and then the carrying of the gas to market was a constant increase on the cost of the gas. If fifty new public lights should be added to the ninety now lit, it might afford some help but the less of such custom the better.—Mr. Spinney went into comments upon the cost to the company of laying pipes through a long dead way, in which the leakage would be considerable; incurring a loss to the company in addition to that incurred by the absence of lamps over a long space and concluded by thanking the meeting for the courtesy he had received. Mr. Mullock remarked, that a large number of public lamps would shortly be required for the parish, by the rail companies, by the dock, and other important undertakings and this would afford the probability that the cost might ultimately be consi- derably reduced. Mr. Spinney considered that the first thing to be done would be, to ascertain if the town would be favourably disposed to an equalisation of the amounts now paid for public and pnvate lights. If the town would prefer paying but a small rate to- wards the cost of public lamps, to a larger rate and a smaller cost, what would the meeting do? If it could be fairly enter- tained by all parties, it would certainly be desirable and if the gas were rendered at 6s. to all parties, which sum was essen- tially necessary to make the works pay, he did not see that any reasonable objection could anywhere exist. It was remarked, that it would be advisable for a deputation from that meeting to wait upon the meeting of gas proprietors, to be held on the following day; and several gentlemen were named; but one, being a proprietor himself, declined on that ground another did the same a third had important business to attend to; and others did not like to go so that we believe the question "went out" with the meeting, which then stpa- rated, having previously, however, thanked Mr. Spinney for his attendance.

ABERGAVENNY TOWN HALL.—ArniL 25. Before the Hon. W. Rodney, Rev. G. Gabb, W. Williams, and F. H. Williams, Esq. The surveyors of high-ways for the surrounding parishes, had their accounts audited and from their reports, the general state of the country must be in a veiy excellent condition for travel- ling; they reported, in almost eveiy instance, that the bye-roads were in good order, water-courses clear, &c and that no encroachments had been made. One circumstance occurred, which indicated the anxiety of the Bench on the subject of encroachments. When Mr. Knight, surveyor, of Llantillio Penholey, Citra side, reported as the rest of his fellow surveyors had, that no encroachments had been made, Mr. lliley Morgan called the attention of the Bench to the stopping up of the path across the fields, from the Maindiff bridge to Bryn-y-gwenyti, and said it had been stopped by the late Mr. Walter Edwards, without taking the legal course to do so that it seemed a hard case that people should now be completely deprived of their accustomed walks through fields near the town, and be obliged tojtrudge through the muddy or miry road, because a farmer chose to cast a longing eye on the land which tho pathway occupied, and wished to know what course the magistrates would recommend to have it restored. A conversation ensued, in which the Chairman and Mr. Gabb expressed themselves as being ^■'rprised that ihose interested in these walks should have allowed bemselves to be deprived ot it so long: and told Mr. Knight that it was the duty of the surveyors to prevent such encroacli- ™^nt?.an.<^ l',al 'hey subjected themselves to a penalty of £ 5, for uenliction of duty. After such sentiments expressed by the D^u ^to-day, and the anxiety of the magis.rates to preserve the ,.s r'Rhts, it will be the people's fault if they allow any fe tootpaths to be stopped up, in the neighbourhood of Abergavenny. houses iPr°r>Sser and William Jon es, the keepers of two beer- °0s an')11 slreett weie convicted in the mitigated penalty ol Times T|C°STS' ^or keeping their houses open at unseasonable laUir'af 19 otr"er. at 12 o'clock on Sunday morning, and the pvrnq^fl frlne u00 the same day.

CARDIFF POLICE CoURT-—APRIL 23. Bafore Walter Coffin, Esq., mayor, and R. L. lieece, Esq. Mr. John George Elkington, a lIub-contractor on the South Wales by John Anderson, a navigator on the same hne, for payment of nine days' wages, which amounted to AI /s- ye'endant said that Anderson had received shop goods to the amoun of 7s. M., and asked hi* worship to deduct that amount.—His worship said lie did not know whether he would or not lie thought the course adopted by defendant, in "iving shop orders to his workmen in heu of ciish, a very obiectionable one. he however would allow the deduction this tirre and ordered defendant to pay the balance of'iOs. in cash.— This case caused considerable excitement among the workmen, and about the court, as soon as the result of the first case was known Mr stockdule said there were about forty others having „ demand on the defendant, all of whom were sworn, and I their claim on defendant, for the respective sums due to uH Sv of «h» men had received no cast, at all, but got what «' ,0,| a shoD order, to the amount of scarcely one-half of was tern ■ wages in fact the whole of the proceedings their hard-earned wage b,e T k „ had ES.SST*e t&t ow .U4 "kid. fawmly forth thc disapprobllion of the Bench. Some of the men had 3s. and 3s. 6d. per day, which caused some trouble to the magis- trates, as those that received 3s. or perhaps less, endeavoured to obtain an advance, which the defendant bad some difficulty to withstand, he said there was no agreement made as to what they were to receive per day. They were all put to work on such conditions as Mr. Reece said placed the men entirely at the mercy of their employer.—Francis Fox. Jsq., and Mr. Fonester, the resident engineers, and Messrs. Warren and Denroclie, the head contractors, were present during the whole of the proceedings, all of whom seemed anxious and determined to put a stop to the course adopted by FUkington, who, it seems, was not recognized by them, but in some way connected with a person named Coslett. a sub-contractor under Messrs. Warren and Dcnroche. Mr. Fox informed his worship that the defendant had received a considerable sum from the head contractors to pay the men on Saturday, and that it was contrary to the wishes of the company, as also of Mr. Brunei, that the truck system should be allowed; indeed, notice to tbat effect was invariably made in the specifications. The men were aIlleavillg their woik, to attend this investigation, and he should lepresent the case to Mr. Blunel, who, he was sure, would discharge the sob contrac- tors who had thus broken the terms of their agreement.—The defendant said that many of the men had been paid their full demand on Saturday night, and seemed satisfied.—Mr. Fox said if that were the case, he hoped his worship would give him time to prove his case, as they seemed to him to be two to one.— Defendant said the men had combined together to attend this court, many of whom had been paid before.—Mr. Fox said they would be discharged after this.—Mr. Reece said it was a hard case for the men to be discharged for seeking redress for their grievances.—Mr. Fox said he meant those who had been paid on Saturday nighj, and who had left their work, and joined the others he would not wish to depiive the poor men of one six- pence.—Mr. Denroclie said he would he obliged if his worship would not recognise shop orders for the futu/e, and he would not hear of these complaints any more; the course adopted by the defendant was contrary to his and Mr. Warren's wishes; they always paid their sub-conuactois in cash, and they were deter- mined from this period that the men should be paid in cash also. — His worship said, if the contractors would see the men paid what was legally due to them up to the present time, they would not interfere.—Mr. Denroche said he would do his utmost.—His worship then ordered defendant to pay the men who had proved their legal demand, and for this time only, he wou'd allow the shop money to be deducted he asked defendant if he could pay them to-morrow nfternoon,—Defendant said he would pay them at the Duke of Wellington, on the next day, at two o'clock.— His worship then directed Superintendent Stockdale to inform the men, who by this time had congregated in immense numbeis, to attend at the abovementioned place, and they would receive their money. Tbey then left the town-hall in the most oideily n anner. A few cases of drunkenness were disposed of; and the houses in Stanley-strtet were reported as much improved. William Kelly, a railway labourer, was committed to prison for one month, for obstructing persons endeavouring to separate some navigators who were fighting in the Hayes, on Sunday last. rhe men had been drinking at the Rising Sun, where a general fight commenced, which was continued in the street S all parlies striking and kicking each other with the most brutal and savage ferocity. Ultimately, the police arrived, aud soon put a stop to the disgraceful afTair. The collier Who had adopted the little boy found on board a Greek vessel, some time since, now complained that he could not afford to keep him. His worship directed him to be taken to the workhouse for the present. Mr. Reece said it was creditable to the collier to have rescued the little wanderer from want, appeared a most miserable existence.

LANDLORD AND TENANT BILL. This bill was prepared and brought into the House of Com- mons by Mr. Pusey, Mr. Tutton Egerton, and Mr. Bouverie and prillted hy order of the House of Commons, as amcndcd in the committee. The agricultural interest are greatly inte- rested in its clauses, and we hope that some similar 1Hovisions will be ere long introduced for the general benefit. Indepen- dently of compensating the farmer for 'improvement on his farm, and beneficial manuring, draining,' See., it is thereby enacted That if any tenant of a farm, after the passing of this act, shall erect any farm-building, either detached or otherwise, or put up any other building, engine, machinery, or other mat- ters, either for agricultural purposes, or for the purposes of trade and agriculture, or for the purposes of trade only (which shall not have been erected or put up in pursuance of some obligation in that behalf ), or at the joint expense of landlord and tenant, then all such buildings, engines, machinery, or other matters, shall be the property of such tenant, and shall be removable hy him in all respects as if the same were fix- tures of trade by law or custom removable by the tenant; and the law now in force as regards fixtures of trade removable by a tenant, shall apply to all such matter, notwithstanding the same may consist of separate buildings, or that the same or some part thereof may be built in or permanently fixed in the soil, so as the tenant making any such removal do not in any- wise injure the land or buildings belonging to the landlord, or otherwise do put the same in like plight or condition, or as ood plight or condition, as thc same were ill hefore the erec- tion of any such thing so removed, &e.) &c., giving to the land- lord or his agent ONE month's (this period should be at least THREK months) previous notice, to be ill writing, of his in tention so to do but should the landlord elect to purchase the tenant's right to remove the sarne shall ccase, and belong to the landlord, the value thercof to 1>e ascertained by valuers (as :!rerejn appointed) to 1>e paid by the landlord, who shall have been so elected to purchase the same." Should the bill pass, this latter portion is rather unjust towards the landlord, it being presumed 1 hat thc sairi erections, &e., were made solely to serve himself. The clause should in fairness be, that the tenant shall be required to name a price; and should the landlord not agree to the same, anti an award be made for an equal or hiher amount, then the landlord should pay the expenses; and, on the contrary, should the amount named be in excess, then the costs of the award should be at the expense of the tenant; and :lS, not mereiy ill this clause, ùut in many previous parts of the said bill, awards would be requisite. In other bills now before the house, we would impress upon the lpgislature the necessity of acting upon the sternest principles of perhaps common- place and homely, but uneuestionable equity.

AUSTRIA. AN autograph letter from the King of Prussia, in reply to the Schwartzeuburg note, was received at Olmutz on the 19th. The ministers were immediately sent for from Vienna. Th" Hungarians have again defeated the Austrians at Gran. A letter from Limburgh ol the 11th says— Orders have at length been given at St. Petersburgh, in reply to the demand of Austria, that the Russian troops shall go against the insurgent Magyars assembled in Transylvania. Russia has pronJicd the assistance of 20,000 infantry, and 4,01)0 cavalry, and 21 pieces of artillery, under the command of the Russiau Lieutenant-General Von Moller, a brave Livonian. The Russian corps is immediately to occupy the Transylvanian frontier, and will soon commence operations, till the proposed attack shall have been carried in the district lying between the south, west, and north of the Theiss." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A letter from Altona, published on the 22nd, says: "We have received positive intelligence from Apenrade that yt-sterday nn rning a brigade ofSchleswig Holstein troops entered Jutland. It was composed of the 1st Jagercorps, the 9ih and 10th bat- talions of infantry,besides the usual complement of arldleryand cavalry. The Danish war has, therefore, reached a new stage. A t this place DO less than teo temporary hospitals have ben arranged. Smelling furnaces have been erected on various points of the Eckernforde banks, in order to give the Danes a warm receptioll,if they should venture upon another attack here. Yes- terday a Danish "hip-of.the-line was seen from the lifijjhti IIf Eckernforde, crusing about. It is stated, in a letter from Flensburg, of the 7th, that two battalions of the troops from Schleswig iiolsteinhad crossed the frontier of Jutland.

NOTES FOR THE YOUNG BOTANIST. The Flowers of the mouth,—The Pansy or Heartsease (Viola tricolor) pentandria, monogynia, natural order Violariic, is now springing into bloom, and continues in flower the whole of the snmraer. It is shaped like the garden pansy, and varies, from local situations, considerably in size and colour. The Irench called it Tensee (thought), whence the English name Pansy. There's pansies," says Ophelia to Hamlet, that's for tho¡¡ght." The dark purple pansy is frequently Jound, sc.1.t- tered about cultivated ground, and if we wander to a patch where once a garden smiled," we are sure to find abundance of them. In gardens oft a beauteous flower there grows -—- By vulgar eyes unnoticed and unseen In sweet security it humbly blows, And rears its purple head to deck the green. This flower, as nature's poet sweetly sings, Was once milk white, and Heartsease was its name, ] ill wanton Cupid poised his rosy wings, A vestal's sacred bosom to inflame. With treacherous aim the God his arrow drew Which she with icy coldness did repel Rebounding thence, with feathery speed it flew, Till on this lovely flower at last it fell. Heartsease no more the wandering shepherd found No more the nymphs its snowy form possess Its white now changed to purple, by Love's wound; Heartsease no more, but love in idleness." The above lines of the poet were undoubtedly suggested by tne following quotation of Shakssaearc who, in the Midsum- mer Night's Dream," after describing' the uselessness of Cu- Ptd's aim at the heart of the maiden Queen, alludes to the heartsease thus: — Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell, It fell upon a little western flower, Before milk white, now purpled with love's wound, And maidens call it Love in Idleness." The pansy of our corn fields is generally a small flower of sulphur colour, with a spot of purple an its lower petal. The common Whitlow grass (Draba. verna), didyn. mio, sui- culosa. A diminutive plant, about two inches high, with white blossoms, growing on old walls. The Wild Cherry (Prunus Cerasus), icosandria, monogynia, now ornaments our woods.
