Reece, and Whitlock Niohoil, Esqs.] Thomas Milton was charged by Joseph Purtoa with having assaulted him, and Joseph Purton was charged by Thomas Milton with the like offence. Purtoa, it appeared, had rented the General Nott public-house to Milton, at £ 1 per week. Milton became in arrear of rent, and Purtoa levied on his goods. It was alleged that part of them had been rescued and sold; notice to quit was also served, but Milton had refused to leave, and in his defence he said that Purtoa had made a forcible entry, broken his agreement, as- saulted him, and goodness knows what.—Case dismissed. Carolus de Cosmon, and four other Grek mariners, were brougl t up chained with having robbed Michael Barbien, master of the brig fcxLilatz, now in ttiis port. The prosecutor and another foreign captain were going to their ships from the town about ten o'clock on Saturday night last, and when near the Bate Docks Barbien was attacked by five men. They had treated him with great violence, when the other master had run to call the assistance of his crew. In the mean time he was robbed of his watch all! 10". in money. He would swear to two of the men, but could not identify the rest, although they were at one time his own crew.

THE FOiiGERY CASE. Benjamin Billett Bussell, who had been admitted to but!, a peared to answer the charge of having forged a promissory note for £ 40. The particulars of the case will be best seen from the t'oiiow- i;ig evidence. Mr. Bird, who appeared for the prosecution, called John Insole Lowe, who, being sworn, said I live at Baunslow, near Barnstaple, Devonshire. I know the prisoner Bussell. He generally signs his name Benjamin B. Bussell. I am the owner of ilackreford, in the parish of Llanedern. I let that farm to the pri- soner, and he entered upon it October, 1847. I previously occupied that tiinn myself. He had not to pay me anything as an in-going tenant, but he owed me for the standing crops and other things, making- a total of £ 113. I received part, of this money, and took two bill s of £ 40 each, both of which were dishonoured. I again pressed for payment, and requested him to give me security. He then paid me, in goods and money, the sum of £ 20 gave me his own bill for £ 20, and another, jointly with his brother-in-law, for £ 40, which [bill produced] bears date Feb. 1st, 1843. I wrote the body of the bill myself, and gave it him to procure the signature of his brother-in-law to it, and in a few days lie brought back the bill signed. In consequence of information which I received from Mr. Francis Langley, I had the prisoner taken into custody. Francis Laugley, who, on being sworn, said: I live at Great lioase, Whitchurch. I am the prisoner's brother-in-hw his name is Benjamin BUJSCIL I recollect-bis asking me, about twelve months ;uro, to sign a bill for him, and I refused [bill handed to witness], Tliis is not my handwriting. I do not spell my name in this way. I am sure that I did not write it, neither did I authorise any one to sign this document for m The following io" a copy oi the bill:— Hackreford, Feb. 1st, 1849. "£10 Os, Od. I IT four months after date, we jointly and severally pro- mise to pay Mr. J. E. Lowe, or order, forty pounds, for value re- ceived. Five per cent. interest to bo paid. (Signed) B. B. B-USSBLL. (Signed) FIIAXCIS LAXGLEY." Mr. Bird submitted that he had made out a case of forgery against the prisoner. Mr. Reece, who appeared for the defendant, did not cross-ex- amine the witnesses, nor did he say anything for the defence, but asked if the Bench would take bail. The application was granted, and Bussell was ordered to find sureties in f-50 each, and himself in £ 100, that he would appear to answer the cnarge at the ensuing assizes of the couuty.

MINING MARKET. The advance on the standard for copper ore which took place last week, anl the further improvement anticipated in the current week, will tend greatly to relie ve oar copper mines from that ruinous de- pression under which they have been suffering for a considerable period. Mines which have been on the eve of abandonment, and those that have held back their returns rather than submit to prices given, will now be placed generally in a profitable position. The recent advance on tin has brought a great number of these into dividend paying mines, and the general prosperity of our lead mines will also place this section of our commercial interest in a most gratifying and prosperous condition. The business transacted in the mining share-market this week has been very satisfactory, bargains in dividend-paying and fu.vourit; mines having been done at improved prices.

There are considerable orders for bars, and buyers iree.iy.. offer EG, per ton at the port for large quantities the makers, how- ever, decline to sell, unless at from £6 5s. to £ <5 10s. per ton, free onboard. The Staffordshire trade continues very brisk; makers are full of orders for some time to come, and, as an advance is ex- pected to take place in the workmen's wages shortly, it is probable that higher rates will rule. The demand during the past week for Scotch'nig-iron has been moderate, with less ifnetua&on than has characterised the market for a long period. \Ve quote the price 53s. 6d. for ail No. 1, and 52s. 6d. for mixed Nos., ordinary brands aiid for No. 1 Gartsherrie 56s., net cash, free on board at Glasgow. aiid for No. 1 Gartsherrie 56s., net cash, free on board at Glasgow. MONTHLY REPORT—IUON.—Early in the -month a large busi- ness was done in Welsh bar-iron at E 10s. per ton, free on .board, in Wales, and the price then advanced to jM per ton, at which there has been a moderate amount of business. »\Iaiers and dealers are now firm at £ 6 to J:6 5s. per ton. Staffordshire iron has been advanced £ 1 per ton. The demand for hoops and sheets is considerable. In Scotch pig-iron, at Glasgow, a large business has been done. About the middle of the month the price of mixed numbers, of ordinary brand, reached 53s. but Within the last few days, chiefly in consequence of numerous prompts falling due,-it has declined to 52s. per ton, at which several parcels have been sold. The American mail is anxiously looked for, in the exö pectation of orders from the United States, which may materially affect the market. Foreign iron is without alteration. English copper was, on the 13th inst., advanced d. per lb. on sheathing, and E4 10s. on cake and tile, at which rates the article continued in much request; and on the 2nd inst. another advance, of the same amount, was declared by the copper houses. English tin has been in good demand, and has advanced £5 per ton. Foreign has been advanced a shade more. Tin-plates have continued in good demand; and owing to the rise in the prices of iron and tin, have advanced 3s. to 4s. per box. English lead has been in good demand for home consumption and export, and the price is firm. Spelter.—This article declined from E15 10s. to E15 per ton, and continued very neglected, until about 10 days since, when con- siderable purchases were made at 1:15 and £ 15 5s. per ton to arrive, and at the latter price holders ultimately refused to sell, demanding E15 10s. per ton. Since then, however, a pause has taken place., and the price cannot be quoted beyond £ 15 5s. per ton on the spot, and to arrive. The stock in warehouse here on the 1st inst. was only 1,560 tons, against 1,700 tons at the same period last year.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. MONDAY.—The arrivals of English wheat for our market last week, coastwise as well as by land carriage, was less than 2,000 quarters. That of all other articles of home produce was equally small, and of but middling quality. From Ireland and Scotland the receipts were confined to a few cargoes of oats. The imports of foreign wheat were large, viz., 38,657 quarters, chiefly from the near continental ports-the supply from Antwerp alone exceeding 16,000 quarters—aud the Black Sea. The other foreign arrivals comprised 2,303 quarters of barley, 5,582 quarters of oats, 665 quarters of rye, 642 quarters of boans, 303 quarters of peas, 2,.597 quarters of tares, 9 quarters of linseed, 45 quarters of rapeseed, 174 quarters of sundry seeds, principally clover, and 4,302 sacks, toge- ther with 1,570 barrels of flour from France and the United States. Large supplies of foreign grain are still on their way from the Black and Mediterranean Seas. The supply of wheat fresh up to this morning's market from Essex, Kent, Suffolk, &e., was again very limited. Prices were almost nominal. The market closed heavily. There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on offer; and the cur- rencies gave way, compared with those paid on Monday last, from Is. to 2s. per quarter. The stocks in warehouses are increasing. We were but moderately supplied with barley; tho sale for that article was dull. Malting samples were unaltered in value, but grinding and distilling sorts ruled a shade lower. Nothing was doing in malt. In prices, although the supply was moderate, we have no change to notice. With oats we were scantily supplied. In beans next to nothing was passing, at last week's reduction in value. Peas of all kinds were heavy, and lower to purchase. In- dian cord and meal nominal. Flour of all kinds was offering at Is. to 2s. per sack lower. WIIFAT- -8. s. Essex and Kent, Red 39 to 47 Ditto, White, New 43 51 Norfolk and Lincoln, Red 40 46 Ditto, White 42 51 Irish, Red I.

Although the show of samples of that grain here to.day was small, the demand for it was in a very depressed state, and Monday's quotations were with difficulty supported. Only 3,170 quarters of foreign wheat have come in since Saturday, yet we had very large supplies Oil offer this morning. All descriptions were dull in the extreme, and somewhat lower to purchase. Malting barley, the supply of which was small, sold at late rates. In grinding and distilling sorts next to nothing was doing. The sale for malt was very dull, at almost nominal quotations. The best samples of oats were held at full prices. Damp qualities ruled lower. All other articles. including fi.uir, commanded scarcely any attention.

SMITHFIELD. MONDAY.—During the past week a fair average time of year supply of foreign stock has been received in the port of London. The total importation has amounted to 1,695 head, or less by 921 head than in the preceding hut more by 1,094 head than at the corresponding period in 1848. The general quality of the arrivals has turned out tolerably good. Notwithstanding the attendance of buyers was tolerably good, the beef trade, from the increase in the supply, was very dull. At the close of the market a large number of bea;ts were turned out unsold. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,700 Scots and short horns from the northern, western, and midland districts, 1 000 Herefords, short-horns, runts, Devons, Irish beasts, &c. from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds, and from Scotland 230 horned and polled Scots. The supply of sheep was larger than that shown on this day se'unight, and of fair average quality. Ail breeds of sheep experienced a very dull inquiry, and the quotations gave way 2d per 8 lbs. The highest figure for Downs in the wool was 4s. 6d.; out of the wool, 4s. per 8 lbs. About one third of the sheep on offer were shorn. Calves were in short supply and fair demand, at last week's prices. Prime small pigs were in moderate request, at barely late rates. All other kinds of pork were 2d. per 8 lbs. lower, with a heavy demand. Price per stone of S lbs. (to sink the offal). s. d. S. D.

WOOL MARKET. MONDAY.—The imports of Wool into London last week were very small, viz, 79 bales from Hamburg, 70 ditto from the Cape, and 319 ditto from Odessa. The supplies on offer in the private contract market aro not to say heavy, while the demand for all descriptions is firm, and the late improvement in value is well sup- ported. The market appears to have reached its higncst point for the present

PROVISION MARKET. The arrivals last week from Ireland were 1,580 firkins butter and 980 bales bacon and from foreign ports, 5,500 casks butter.' In the Irish butter market we have to notice a steady demand, and a respectable amount of business was transacted during the pa!-t week at irregular rates, according to quality, &c., fine being most in demand. The Bacon market continued in a dull inactive state the ssles effected were but trifling, ane a decline of Is. to 2s. on our quotations of this day se'nnight was submitted to. ENGLISH BUTTER MARKET.—OOU trade for old butter seems at an end the few parcels now selling- entail a serious loss. The de- mand for new Dorset butter is continued, and prices are fully sup- ported. The supply of English fresh butter is rather scanty Prices unaltered.

LIVERPOOL COHN EXCHANGE. At this day's market there was a middling attendance of the trade, and a fair demand was experienced for wheat, at fully 2d. per 701b. reduction on prices of this day week. Oats were neglected, and Id. per451bs. lower. In bailey, beans, and peas, there was little done, and no material change in value is reported, except in Egyptian beans, which were 6d. per quarter lower. There was a considerable quantity of barrel flour offering, and, though Is. per barrel less money would have been acceded to little progress was made with sales. In sack flour there was little passing, and a decline of Is. per sack must be noted. A moderate demand was experienced for Indian corn, at the price current during the week. Indian meal brought 15s. per barrel.

John the Baptist, Uiaiuorguw shire. Friday, March -13,

first night of his parliamentary career, was to vote in direct opposition to the interest and wishes of the majority of his con- stituents. I fully concur with you, Mr. Editor, in the remarks contained in your valuable paper of March 2, respecting Mr. P., and I would bsg to say further, that the blame in a great measure is to be attributed' to those gentlemen upon whose suf- frages he entered St. Stephens. I say the fault is with them, because, he was sent to the House far too unfettered, without expressing himself upon any of the topics of the day. These are tme i, when every public man ought to express himself ex- plicitly upon all subjects bearing upon the interest of the coun- try. The electors of those borough3 know nothing of Mr. P.'s opinions upon the connexion of Church and State the pro- vince of Government with regard to education, manhood suf- frage, vote by ballot, shorter parliaments, whether annual or triennial, extension of the suffrage, peace and war, &c., &c., in short, all the great questions which are now agitating the public mind. The contest that has just passed, was not between prin- ciple and no principles; liberty and oppression, but simply between Mr. P. and Mr. H., a neighbour and a stranger, a Whig and a Tory, a Welshman and a Bristolian and, I believe that I express the sentiments of many when I say, that the basis of the contention was far too limited, it was the story of the devil shearing the pig over again, Great, cry and little wool." Perish for ever such distinctions, I would have consi- sidercd it a far greater honour to have the opportunity of enun- ciating great truths, and thereby being for this time, in a glori- 0.1" minority, with a man of sterling principles, a Miall, or a Vincent, than a conqueror icilh a soft baked brick of clay. Is it then to be so much wondered at, that Mr. Pryse acted as he did; I see no causa to be surprised from the beginning X entertained the same opinion, and now it is confirmed. A that the Dissenters can, and ought to do now is, to organize committees in each of the contributory boroughs, in order to ■watch his furtherproceedings, and also to watch the register which is very much neglected in all the boroughs. Here alone I know oi' from twenty to twenty-five, that passes the necessary quali- cations, and are all of the right sort; they need only be put upon the list. Also to hold meetings and print pamphlets to explain the cardinal points of truth, and to enlighten Taffy in the things pertaining to his civil and religious liberty, and in this way ant by those means, I hope we should be able to strengthen even the Dissenters of Cardigan against the next election, and when that comes, let us all studiously, delibe- rately, and firmly, keep aloof from the" brick," and not to record one single vote in his favour, and say rather Give me the bold, the open, manly foe, Bold, I can meet, perchance may ward, the blow; But of all plagues, good heaven, thy wrath can send, Keen me, olt keei) me, from the slippery, friend. Dissenters of Cardiganshire, up, and be doing tell the scion of Gogerddan that you can treat his conduct with contempt; that he is Youit servant, and that when the next election comes, you will dismiss him and get another, who can sympathise with you do your work better, and expound those principles which you It jid 8U dear as your life.
