RENTS and Rates have ever been felt as a burden in social economy. Persons of all classes have complained of their pressure, and more especially when the Badness of the Times has made them harder to be borne. Rents and Taxes might be greatly lightened by a little prudent economy in household purchases. HENRY SHEPPARD, Has ventured in this manner to call attention to the Quality and Price of his TEAS AND COFFEES feeling convinced of the fact, that a tradesman now-a-days must ascend the ladder of quality, and descend the ladder of price and it Rents and Rates are oppressive, Teas, Coffees, and Groceries, must be the opposite. Competition is undeniably a great source of pecuniary benefit. The large extent of H. SHEPPARD'S business assures him, that his system of selling at the lowest scale of profit, is properly understood by a fair judging public. The prices given beneath will serve to show that no house, either in London, Liverpool, Eristol, or elsewhere, can possibly undersell. COFFEES. Sound Fresh Roasted, lOd. per lb.

[ADVERTISEMENT ] To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. SIR Your raper of the 7th instant, contained a letter from Mr. John Phiilpotts in answer to my observations in your previous publication, and aiso a notice to correspondents that one had been received from Mr. Davis too late for insertion. I therefore, waited patiently to see all that could bealleged,and' at the tail of the promised letter from Mr. Davis, see one signed hy his clerk, but which I must treat as a postscript to that of Mr. Davis, as the only way in which I can notice it. With respect to NJ r. flijillpotis' alle,ation. that he did not ask Mr. Price for the prosecution, I can only say that I was not present at the conversation alludrd to. On the one side I have the statement of Mr. Phiilpotts on the other that of Mr. Price, and if I prefer to give credit to the latter rather than to the former, I believe I adopt the same view as many of your readers. The other case alluded to by Nir. Phiilpotts, occurred so far back as Monday, the 1st April, IS41. I was engaged before the magistrates at the moment when the goods were stolen-the offender was immediately triken into custody, and, within two hours, committed to prison for trial. The impres- 0 sion on my mind is, that it was in the court room that I fit-a. had any conveisation with Mr. (Matthews on the subject, when he came into court and sat by me, and if he was under the im- pression that, as town clerk, I was antitled to the conduct of the case, and, therefore, placed the oflRter in my hands, it was an error into which he certainly was not led by uie. And lastly, when I wrote to Mr. Phiilpotts. on 18th January, to complain of Mr. Davis's breach of compact, the answer I received was written by his clerk, to which, as a matter of course, I diu not ^ply. And it was very near the middle of March before Mr. Phiilpotts, himself, wrote to me, before which period I con- sidered myself no longer bound hv an arrangement not observed by Mr. Davis, the other parly to "it. As for Mr. Davis and his ;onteinpt-contempt Well, the contempt oi a person of such literary celebrity, and respectable proiessional conduct (even by his own shewing), may surely be horne without much humiliation. We now come to his indignant denial of assisting in the concoction ot the arjicle in your paper of the 23rd June, of which I complained in my former letter.- It would be rude to say 1 doubt his word; but when it is borne in mind that Mr. Davis came into court at the same moment as Mr. Phiilpotts—that he was there engaged in cloge conversation with him-that just as Mr. Phiilpotts was about to make his charge, he slunk behind the division, so as to keep as much as possible out of sight of the persons in court- and that the report was written in his office, if I am not verv muoh mistaken (not having been allowed to see the original mauusciipt, which would perhaps throw some lj»-ht orAhis point)—I do not think 1 can be found fault with for charging him as I have done; and the accidental circumstance of Mr' Davis coming over from Bristol to Newport, on this particular day-the landing of the cargo of Irish paupers at the particular moment when Mr. Davis was coming up the river-and hishap- perung to come into court to speak to the magistrates, just as ^lr. Phiilpotts walked in, lull charged and ready to no off— is not merely a coincidence, but rather a tissue of coincidences much more e-inordinary than the instance narrated bv Mr. that oar?!1!

If I had, as Mr. Davis alleges,condescended to get the police officers to recommend prosecutors to employ me I am ?ure it could not be done without comingto liis knowled 'e • aT1,i proof of their interference woul. by the regulations o'f « Watch Committee, be quite sufficient to en.ure the police con stable's dismissal; and the case mentioned in the F)Oltscript (for as such I treat it) shows pretty clearly that Mr. Davis and his dependants are on the alert. I deny Tie assertion, that I ever admitted that Lloyd the police officer, Ind asked for a prosecution for me. However nothing is like documentary evidence. The follow^ j3 a QQ of the entry in the superintendent's report on the subject lotil Ja iuary. Police report The superinten !ent received information from Mr. kessick, that P.C. No. o, George Lloyd contrary to the special orders of the W atch Committee, solicited' Mr. Zo-ich, draper, of High-street, to give the prosecution in a recent case of his to Mr W oollett 1 took care that notice of the next meeting of the watch committee should be snt to the informa. t, that he might attend and support his charge, as I saw it was a paltry attempt to raise a suspicion against me, of tampering wit1) the police, which, it I allowed to pass unnoticed, would some day be referred to by .iir, Davis, in support of some charge e -j-,I)t trump up against me. On the 16th of January, the committee met, and the following is a copy of ''eir minute on the subject: "A report of a charge against Lloyd, for endeavouring to influence a prosecutor, as to mduct of » prosecution, having been read, and It appear- t the informant had been summoned to attend the "diich he neglected to do, Lloyd was called on to make it, which uus satisfactory to the com-,it tee. The party afterwards attended, and said he personally knew le matter." ;o go into every minute point of the letter of Mr. his clerk, my letter, already too long, would be ye •nded. However, I will mention one case, wh>c i, supported by documentary evidence, will show ie to their assertions, In borough prosecutions* have for a long time acted as attorney, on behalf of Messrs. Rennie and Lot;an, the railway contractors, their regular pro- fessional advisers, Messrs. Prothero and Co., being officially prevented from conducting that branch 01 their business. Previously to the last August assizes, a man was charged with stealing some brass from their quarry at Crumlin. Mr. \V in- stone, the conductor of the quarry, attended before the boroimh magistrate-, by whom the prisoner was cotdmitted and a clerk in Biicii and Davis's employ, at the same time asked him to sign a retainer, which he at onc. did as readily as he signed his deposition, without communicating with his employers. When Messrs. llennie ard Co.'s general agent heard of the case, he 9-ve me directions to attci d to it. I sent to the office where ¡¡e magistrates' business is carried on, for a copy of the depo- sitions, and leannd that Birch and Davis, having a retainer, "ere determined to conduct the case. Mr. VVinstone was then directed by the manager to call at Birch and Davis's officer explain the general orders, and direct them to take no furthe, steps in tlie matter. On the 2nd of August, I leceived a letter Slgued by Mr. Davis, stating he would give up the conduct of the case, hut requiring payment of one guinea, on the ground that he had actually prepared the brief before instructions were countermanded. On the same day, the soi disant deputy clerk to the borough magistrates of Newport," fho is exceed- '"tily indignant at the idea of being "used" by Birch and Davis, to get prosecutions tor them, wrote to Cormack, then police constable of Risca, the following letter, I "ill venture to assert, not without the knowledge of his employer, Mr. Davis 1, Newport, August 2nd, 1848. Dear Sir,-I would esteem it a favour if y,),, would see VVinstone, with this letter, and tell him he will get. illto a scrape by listening to Chambers, Rennie's foreman. The letter enclosed demands a guinea for the brief prepared if that is paid, i, e will e up the case to Woollett. who has had Wuistone down specially to give him a retainer! See if you cunnot talk him into the right nay. Don't show this to any t-me Yours truly, T. Kessick. Write me the result forthwith." 1 he original letter is in my office and I shall be happy to submit it, with another communication from the same quarter, to the inspection ot any person who may be sceptical or have any curiosity on the subject. I have elicited two facts which are now clear as noonday; first, that Mr. Davis interferes with the chents of other solicitors; and, secondly, that Kessick, who is the clerk to Mr. I'o^, the clerk to the borough magistiates, does exert him- self to secure prosecutions for his other employers, Messrs. Birch and Davw; hoth of which facts have hitherto been most strenuously denied and 1 trust that in the estimation of the public, I alii justified in the remarks made in my former letter, wirfi respect to Mr. Davis, and those in his employ; and if I decline entering into any arrangement with him in future, I think I am only exercising ordinary prudence. I remain, your obedient servant, THOMAS WOOLLETT. Newport, 17tb July, 1840. [We have already triven, without pecuniary charge, ample space for statement and reply, inthe great "touting" question. As, however, fresh matter is adduced tin's week, we place the letter in our advertising columns, where all future corres- pondence on the subject, must appear ]

To those medical friends we reply, write to Mr. liaise, and order one of bis poriable Calvanic Apparatus, and you may take our word for it, you will lind them all that you can desire His battery is constructed ol zinc and silver plates, and he has so arranged his regulating apparatus, that the practitioner may apply just what ptwer he may think proper. It is the most petlect thing we ever beheld, and we do not see how it is possihip, for medical purposes to impiove upon it- It is well known that quantity of fluid is the gieat desideratum in medical galvanism. N'>vv in the small machines which are usually sold, H is very evident to any one who knows anything of the principles of galvanism, that the quantity ol "j1!" which circulates through the body of the patient is next to not iing, although the shock may be very powerful: for the human Dody is an imperfect conductor, and it requires a series of pairs of plates to enforce the current through an imperfect con uctor. In Mr. Halse's apparatus there are both quantity an< iutt-nsity brought into action; and yet his machine is Q SO beautiful a manner, that even an infant may be galvaD,s y't without the least unpleasantness.

THE IRISH CONVICTS.
THE IRISH CONVICTS. As the convict ship is now about to bear away some of the principal of those eccentric burning mischievous geniuses—but geniuses st li-a brief personal notice of the leading individuals in the late outbreak may not be uninteresting. A short memoir of 11 the head and front of their offending," Smith O'Brien, has before appeared; so it will not be necessary to allude to him. Meagher, whom we might call second in -command, has also made his o, n history known young, good and enthu- siastic, there were none of them who blighted better prospects than he did having a good deal of vanity naturally, the present of the "swoid" turned his brain, and the spirit which before expendei itself in the purchase of patent leather boots and fine clothes, suddenly burst out into t'easoni Doheny, one of the most savage of them, was so ugly as to be almost a lusus. It is credibly asserted that so inhuman was his appearance, even as an infant, that the priest Co cforis'ened under protest," securing himself against the consequences should the putative child turn out a real monkey. He was of a stunge figure, with arms so long that, standing up, he could almost touch his ankles, and when at C'the camp" on Slievenamon, he struck the country people with fear and wonder, by the almost supernatural feats of jumping which he performed.—one moment making wild and burning orations to them, and the next throwing somersaults over three horses at a time. O'Doherty had been an appren- tice to an apothecary, and was said to be first filled with his dangetous doctrines of patriotism" by the sights he witnessed In the fever sheds of Dublin. It is a curious coincidence that Kaspail, who was an eminent chemist and physician in Paris, and who attended the poor gratis, with great humanity, was said to have received hi* socialist docttines amidst similar e,nes* O'Don ghue was an attorney's clerk in Dublin, and his D ?.r!ut>a,e wife is now, we have beard, an inmate of the North fal^ ,n. Union. Richard O'Gorinan was engazed with his fat be, in a larx*e cloth business. It was under his captainship e^ils weie attacked, and few of his confreres were so person 1 ac,ion.

Soir e literary papers, which were prepared for press, are set aside for our next impression.

STATE OF THE MERCANTILE MARINE.
STATE OF THE MERCANTILE MARINE. THE statement of Mr. Labouchcre, with respect to va- rious subjects of great importance to the merchant navy of this country, divides itself into three parts which it will he best, for the sake of clearness, to notice separately. The first part relates to the light dues; the burden of which, says the President of the Board of Trade, has been long and justly complained of, with respect to their weight, to their unequal distribution, and to other reasons connected with the system on which they are founded." These dues, as most of our readers know, are managed by those ancient corporations, known as "Trinity Houses." That at Dcptford being the principal, and the whole being under the very partial and inefficient controul of the Privy Council. The total sum received for light dues on the English and Welsh coasts in 1847, was £ 318,000. Of this amount, X50,000 a-year is applied to the repay- ment of moneys borrowed of the Bank of England, to buy up private lights in which individuals have legal and vested interests; of which money half a million is yet unpaid. Condemnable as this system of private monopo- lies was, it is evident that this debt must be paid. It seems that the Trinity House, on being communicated with by the government, have proposed to reduce the gross amount of dues by A:97,101 a-year, that is, from £ 318,000 to £ 220,899 and that this can be done with- out an Act of Parliament. This, of course, will be a sub- stantial benefit to the shipping interest; and we rejoice to announce that the reduction will come into operation on the 1st of October next. Of the revenue received in 1817, the proportion from coasting vessels was £ 140,000, and from over-sea vessels £173,000. On the ground that the former class, under the system of payment by ton- nage, are unequally burdened, their cargoes being on the average so much less valuable, it is proposed that out of the reduction of ED7,101, the sum of X70,000 should be for the benefit of the coasting trade; thus diminishing dues upon coasting vessels nearly one-half. The re- mainder will go to the benefit of over-sea vessels, by re- lieving them from the second toll which they now pay on passing a light as they go out of port, in addition to that which they paid on entering.' This relief will amount to sixteen per cent. on the present payments, and will, therefore, be felt. Such is the alteration which the government have been able to effect without a bill, and which must be viewed by the shipping interest with great satisfaction. In commending, however, her Maiesty's ministers for this practical reform, we cannot join in Mr. Laboucheres compliments to tlie Trinity House. Jt is quite obvious that the changes which the fear of parlia- mentary interference has now induced them to make, might have been made easily Ion before now. As the sum being repaid to the Bank is but X50,000 a-year, it is evident that the paying of a smaller sum, and spreading the repayment over a greater number of years which the Trinity House now proposes will not provide for half the reduction of £9i ,000, which is about to be made. Con- sequently there must have been great extravagance some- where, at the expense of the shipowners such extrava- gance having been continued as long as it could be with impunity. With the details of the doings of this vir- tually irresponsible body, we are not yet acquainted; but some light is thrown upon their management by a re- mark ot Mr..Labouchere, that they were going to use rape-oil, which would occasion a very considerable saving Mr. L. adding that Mr. Hume had repeatedly recom- mended such a course, and had complained of the extra- vagance of the Trinity House in not adopting it, When, therefore, Mr. Labouchere talked about the merchant service owing a dcbt of gratitude to that great corpora- q tion the Trinity House for the manner in which they had met the just demands and wishes of the shipping inte- rest," lie only disfigured his generally excellent speech by the introduction ot what was unsound in principle, and practically absurd. The fact is, the debt is owing to honest Joseph Ilume and the financial reformers, and the fair men of both the great parties, Whig and Conservative, see it as plainly as a right ship. The second question is that of PILOTAGE and here we have a broad general principle upon which to take a stand. For a vessel to be obliged to pey for a pilot—as over-sea vessels are when no pilot is needed when, in- deed, her master, or mate, or both, are perfectly compe- .t I tent to take her into port, is so monstrous an injustice, that it cannot be tolerated in the present enlightened state of the public mind: and would not have been borne so long bv the shipowners had they not been blinded by the old Protectionist heresy, that it is profitable for one class to submit. to a burden, in order that it, in its turn, may lay a burden upon another the ultimate effect of the extension of this principle being, as such parties suppose, the good of all, whereas experience shews it to be a com- mon loss. The President of the Board of Trade proposes that the unjust vested interests" of the pilots shall be so far interfered with, that, by a permissive bill, the pt Deptford Trinity House, the Warden of the Cinque Ports and the local bodies having jurisdiction over pilots, shall be empowered to grant certificates of competency, which will exempt masters and mates from the necessity of em- ploying pilots. We fear that this entrusting of "the dis- cretionary power to the very bodies which now possess- in their subordinates, at least-a monopoly of pilotage, will prevent the attainment of the object sought for. If so, however, it will demonstrate the imperious necessity of more effectual legislation. The third question, that of the GENERAL STATE OF OUK MERCANTILE MARINE opens a wide field, upon which the government do not, of course, intend to enter during this session, but their views with respect to which, are developed, generally, by Mr. Labouchere; thus indicating the course they intend to take next year. Laying down as a basis that the present qualifications of masters and mates, and the state of discipline among the men, are so far unsatisfactory as to make it at least desirable that something should be done by the Legislature; and no- ticing, among other particulars, on the one hand, that we have lost most of the whale fishery through the inferiority of our discipline to that of the Americans, and, on the other hand, that no fewer than 14,000 seamen have de- serted from British merchant-ships, in a single year. Mr. Labouchere proposes to protect seamen from the vil- lainous extortions of crimps to which they are notoriously subject when making their agreements, by the appoint- ment of officers for the purpose; the system of licensing agents adopted last year by the Admiralty, having proved inefficient. He further intends that measures are to be taken for securing more attention to the diet and healthy accommodation of sailors on shipboard. Then a department called the department of mercantile ma- rine" is to be added to the Board of Trade, to consist of two persons who have been merchant captains. The vo- luntary examination for masters and mates now in exist- ence is to give place to a compulsory one, the latter, how- ever, being only prospective. All persons at present en- trusted with the command of ships, are to have certifi- cates of having been masters or mates, which will be called service certificates, and will entitle them to conti- nue but all future captains or mates will have to be ex- amined, and, on'passing their examination, to receive certificates of competency. Without one or other of these ccitihcates, persons will no longer be allowed to be put in command; and gross misconduct will subject the par- ties to the loss of either certificate, and in some cases, to trial for misdemeanour. It is also proposed to require every master to keep a log book, prepared in a definite form; and somewhat to increase the power of punish- ment on board, now possessed. Articles of agreement, embodying punishments for breaches of discipline, are also to be drawn up, and the seamen invited, though not compelled, to sign them; and the officers to be appointed under this bill are to have power to settle disputes be- tween masters and men, for sums under 40s. The officers' fees on shipping agreements, after paying the expenses, will form a surplus which it is intended to devote to good service gratuities and pensions. These, with some alte- rations not specified, in the system of advance notes, form the outlines of the scheme developed by Mr. Labouchere. Until next session, when the whole will be submitted in the form of a bill, we need not discuss them but recom- mend them, in the meantime, to the careful considera- tion of the shipping interest. It is said that government have it also in contemplation to introduce a measure for the regulation of the Merchant Seamen's Fund.

THE ORDNANCE ESTIMATES. THOSE forms of the House of Commons which enable a minority to put a stop to business in certain cases, are constitutionally of great value, but shonld not be lightly used. They are the shield which the wisdom of our an- cestors has left us against the tyranny of a majority and should only be brought forth on important occasions. The government were very angry with Mr. Hume for availing himself of this right, on the moving of the ordnance esti- mates. In our opinion, which we are confident is that of the great bulk of tax-payers, as well as that of some thoughtful and practical members who supported Mr. Hume, he was perfectly justified in the course he took. Constitutional writers dilate upon the excellence and im- portance of the power which the House of Commons has of stopping tha supplies but, so long as the minister can always command a pliant majority, this power, so far as it depends upon a majority, is virtually non-effec- tive, and must, therefore, be used by a minority, if used at all. "hen the executive government and its sup- porters call for an extravagant expenditure, and, persist in maintaining it in defiance of the repeated complaints of those who have to pay the money when they abuse the general confidence reposed in them by their political adherents, to fasten upon those adherents burdens be- lieved to be both unequitable and unnecessary; and par- ticularly when they insist upon voting money without due inquiry, or in staving off the operation of reforms already contemplated—the powers of the constitution should then be called into operation. The argument of ministers, and which is urged also by ex-ministers, is, that reforms in the expenditure can only be similarly car- ried out by the eXf,'utive, after due deliberation, and that, therefore, supposing the ordnance committee to have de- cided on recommending certain reductions, it is too late in the session to carry them out. This argument, plausible in itself, and sufficient for those who are content to leave everything to the govern- ment, is unsatisfactory to the country. It is true that the executive are the proper parties to carry out financial changes, and that due deliberation is essential; but the country has long ceased so to confide in any administra- tion, as to be satisfied to leave financial reform in their hands. Of this, indeed, the very appointment of com- mittees of inquiry is a proof. Againl late as is the pe- riod of the session, the voting of the ordnance estimates, might, without inconvenionce, have been left under such circumstances as the present, to its very close; and, though there are alterations which could not be deter- mined upon in so short a time, there are others, such, for instance, as the suspension of questionable military works, which might be decided upon at once. When her Ma- jesty's present ministers are taunted with proposing small and inefficient measures, their answer is, that it is well to get small improvements, when larger cannot be obtained. Let them apply this reasoning to the ordnance estimates, and they will escape from' further censure on that account. Even if nothing could have been done, they would but have paid suitable homage to a sound principle, and have given an exemplification of political prudence, by acceding at once to that request from Mr. Hume their compliance with which was at last extorted Then, again, the Observer" might also be much better employed than in denouncing the sound and useful po- licy of Mr. Hume as a waste of time," and an ob- struction of the public business." Public business, in its true sense, is the business of the country, and not the mere arrangements of the ministers of the day; and it is now too late, among independent men, to hold up as ob- structives of the business of the state, those who will not run at the heels of the government, and vote for every piece of extravagance they may propose. 0
RAILWAY COMMUNICATION WITH…
RAILWAY COMMUNICATION WITH LAN- CASHIRE, &c. WE perceive, with much pleasure, among the bills which have just received the royal assent, one obtained by the Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Company, not only to improve their line (which forms part of our route to the north-west), by branches to the river Dee, and powers for a joint station at Shrewsbury, (always a great accom- modation to travellers) but also to subscribe to the funds ot the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, another of the links in the great chain of communication which it is so much the interest of this locality, as well as every other along the line, to have completed. We hope that strong manifestations of activity beyond Hereford will quicken the movements of all who can promote the carrying out of the projects south of that city, in order that the great public benefits which are in store on the completion of the whole scheme, may, as speedily as possible, be realized. i'r I, —

LOCAL lA TELLltiEA CIS. —»— NEWPORT CATTLE MARKET.-There was but a limited supply in the market on Wednesday of beef and veal; but of mutton and lamb there was an abundance, though the demand was somewhat sluggish, at about late rates. TIIE COAL TRADE. -NVe are much pleased to find that the coal trade has considerably revived in this port; and we have no doubt, when the increased facilities which will be afforded by the opening of the Western Valleys Line, are available, and larger quantities of coal are promptly brought down, that there will be a flourishing export trade. ESTERN^ ALLEYS LINE.-During- the week, the greatest activity has been exnibitcd in the various departments of pre- paration for opening this line at the appointed time. Several line locomotive engines and tenders, manufactured by Messrs. Stothart and Slaughter, of the Avon-side Iron Works, Bristol have arrived, and been put in operation for trial; the station on the dock road, presents the appearance of an almost-com- pleted range ot buildings; the line has been railed in through the town and gates arc being fixed at the different spots where the line crosses the highway. All these movements have excited an unusual bustle in the town, and the opening of the line is looked forward to with great interest. The following gentlemen of the committee have gone up to inspect the line this (Friday) morningR. Blakemore, Esq M.P., Sir Digby Mackworth, Bart., C. Bailey, Esq., Aberaman, C. Cony/ay, Esq., Ponthrydryn, O. A. Wyatt, Esq., Troy, J. Jenkins, Esq., Caerleon, W. Jenkins, Esq., solicitor, T. Powell, Esq., The Gaer, Rev. J. Coles, R. Ruscoe, Esq., &c. NEWPORT DOCK.-Tlle fleet of towering vessels which at this time fills our dock,'daily attracts numbers of visitors, who look with wonder upon such cashes."

Last Monday.a considerable number of the Hills population left this port per packet for Bristol, there to embark for the United States. CHOLERA.—There have been four cases of the prevailing epidemic during the week, at Newport, and two deaths. Pub- lic alarm appears to have almost entirely subsided, on findine the dire disease yield to cleanliness and medical art. To use a homely phrase however, people must not holloa till they b^kept up^infl^ncldnglyf' the SaQat°ry measures should PAVJ.VO FOR XUISANCES.-Mr. Thomas Jones, shopkeeper, Mellons Bank, was charged with causing a foul and unhealthy nuisance, in having conveyed from Mellon's Bank to George- street culvert, the contents of a privy. He was fined by the magistrates, 40s. for the nuisance, and lis. 6d. costs. He was also ordered to pay for two cart-loads of lime, and 121bs of chloride of lime, which the Sanatory Board had directed to be used in the purification of the neighbourhoods poisoned by the disgusting nuisance. This was a stringent measure to discountenance and abate a nuisance but it was essential and imperative. APPOINTMENT.-—We understand that Messrs. C. H. Stone- house and Co., ship-brokers of this port, have been appointed agents tor the St. 1 etersburgh Commercial Company, for irSS'iriXl ■ Nad.jda, for alHh/port, C+?1C\rET ,MaTcii-~YeRterday, a capital match was played on the Marshes between the Newport old club and the mili- tary (the 14th), when the club made sixty-seven the first innings, and one hundred the second. The military made sixty nine the first innings, and twenty the second the latter small number being somewhat attributable to the rain, which now began to fall heavily, and rendered the ground slippery The players appeared pretty well matched. EXCURSION.—The pleasure-seekers of Newport and its visitors, will have another opportunity of enjoying the charming scenery of the Bristol channel, by a marine eLur! sion in the Eclipse steamer, the politeness, care, and attention l^hose ProPrictor ami captain, were so highly praised upon d i^7r]Car\, The Prescnt eMursi™ be to the I;W!I00LF °!F S.T-?,TAILY> NEWPORT.—The attention of the iiocrai and charitable is earnestly directed to the advertise- ment in another column, announcing a sermon in behalf of i>t. Mary s schools, in tins town, where upwards of three hun- 1.Tia'e alJd female, amongst whom are many of the offspring of the most destitute people in Newport are rescued from the curses of ignorance and idleness. MELANCHOLY COINCIDENCE.—Mr. WilHam Edwards, the bookseller, who had for many years been a determined 'sup- porter of Chartist opinions in Newport and elsewhere a few days since breathed bis last, after a painful illness, at his resi- dence, 173, Commercial-street; and just at the same time intelligence reached the sister of Mr. Edwards's widow who carries on business in the same establishment, that her husband, Mr. John Battershill, had met with his death in America. Thus two young sisters and mothers found themselves almost at the same moment, widows under the same roof. Particu- s i j 'f c'3use,of death in the latter instance have not yet reached the iamily. J" REWARD FOR ZEAL.-At the last meeting of the Newport watch committee, Sergt. Harlow reported that he had been presented with a sovereign by Mr. Daniel Dalv, the person who had been robbed ot a large amount of money in Cross- street some time since, a great portion of which, Sergeant rlar.'ow had been instrumental in restoring to the owner. The watch committee expressed their approval of the activity and zeal exmoited by the sergeant in this case, and allowed him to retain the gift. "TRUE TEMPERANCE." — A public handbill, with this heading, attracted considerable audiences at the Town Hall on the evenings of Tuesday and Wednesday last, when Mr. G. E. Lomax, a celebrated advocate of the Temperance cause delivered eloquent appeals to his hearers to forsake the filthy slough of intemperance, and become sober and respectable men. The lectures were productive of much good. We ob- served upon the platform on Tuesday evening, the Rev. Mr Barfield, chairman, and the Rev. Mr. Off en, the latter gentle- man presiding on the following evening. ORDER OF FORESTERS.—A compact little society of the ancient order of Foresters removed from Bath to this place is progressing very rapidly at Mr Palmer's London Stout House. It is stated that the benefits of the order are some- what in advance of those of benefit societies in general; and that this fact is inducing considerable additions to the order in this place. It is a gratitymg circumstance, that nearly two-thirds of the working men of Newport have been OTU- dent enough to enrol themselves as members of benefit socie- ties. This speaks well tor the prudence of men whose daily occupations expose them to risks and dangers in which the funds of a provident institution may prove a vital aid.

The next thn n mystery was unravelled. The police had tracked parties, and discovered that they were club women," io, having had a rumpus with the landlord of the club- ouse, had run off with the money box, to a more approved- °l hostelry! A PALSE HUMOUR.—The humane inhabitants of Newport Were greatly shocked at a rumour which was widely-spread last Saturday through the town. It was alleged that just on the departure of an American vessel from the dock, force was employed to hoist a black man (one of the hands) on board from the quay, he having a desire to stay a little longer on business of his own, which would detain the ship; and that on being hauled up by the tackle, he was allowed to swing with such violence against the vessel, as to expire from this alleged barbarity, before the vessel reached Penartli. e alleged barbarity, before the vessel reached. enarth. obo have the most undoubted authority for stating, COITODO- rated by the pilot, that before the vessel reached Fenarth, the black man was at his usual avocation of cooking, &c., without being at all incommoded by the bump which he had received. The fact stated by an eye-witness, is, that the man had got druiik, and whilst in that impracticable state, was going back again to add fuel to flame, swearing he wouW take his time, as he was determined to go de hole b?& when a rope was fixed round him, for the purpose ot hauling him on board, and another rope to prevent any accident. I his latter getting entangled, was cut by one of the crew, and the men on board beginning to haul, the cook, struck, against the side of tha ship, but with a part of his frame which did not experience much injury. Welsh blood was, however, excited by the an pearance of cruel treatment towards the cook, and the ci cumstance of his being a black,and put upon in a free count v perhaps increased the indignation of the spectators poured thick vollies of stones upon the vessel as she down the river,
