THE POSTA L REGULATIONS. Lord CAMPBELL said that us he hud NOT been present when the report of the Commissioners on the Post-chice was presented to their Lordships, he would take the present opportunity of stating how stiff-tried he was with the result to which they had arrived. As one of the judges of the land, he could state that by the new rrgulatio-ns which had been recently introduced the work of mercy had often been interrupted; not to speak of social incon- veniences while on circuit, it was absolutely necessary that com- munication should take place between the judges and with the Home-office, but, by this Post-office regulation, all communica- "un had been cut off for twenty-four hours. More than one instance had occurred where very serious inconvenience, almost a.fiecting human life, had occurred, and himself and his brother Judge on circuit had found it impossible to obtain, any relaxation, even under such serious circumstances. Lord MCNTBAGLE said that he couid not give a testimony so striking as the noble and learned lord, but he could state that an instance had occurred in his own family where it had been found impossible, in consequence of the Post-office regulations, to summon a physician in a very urgent case by any other means than by the electric telegraph. Had such a case occurred with a poor man, it would have been impossible to have got over the difficulty. Their Lordships theii, at half-past three. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY AUG, 14,

The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after two o'clock; when fev.ral petitions were presented, and notices were given of taotions for next session. The Yeoman Usher of the Black.Rod appeared at the far, and having advanced to the table, summoned the House to attend the House of Peers to hear the Royal assent given by commis ion to several Hills which had passed both Houses. Upon their return the House adjourned till Thursday. EISTEDDFOD BLAENAU OrWENI.,

TIIE LATE SESSION. PARLIAMENT has nearly finished its proceedings. The White Bait dinner has been eaten; on the Moors grouse- shooting has commenced reporters luxuriate in idleness the reader of Parliamentary debates has a holiday; there are signs that the Session is over-that our representatives have done the national business—or what they took to be s.uohr-and that what of political life we have must be sought elsewhere tnan in the Palace of The late Session is now a matter of history—its blunders—its ex- travagant waste of the public revenues—its shortcomings—• its lack of all great enthusiasm and aim are now registered beyond all power of erasure. Not again can the curtain be drawn up, or the farce replayed. Once upon a time our maiden QUEEN, when before her appeared the SPEAKER of the Commons, is reported to have asked that illustrious personage what they had got through—" May it please your MAJESTY, eight weeks," was the reply. In as far as time is concerned, our modern Commons, at any rate, cut a more respectable figure than those of QUEEN ELIZABETH'S days. They have got through considerably more than eight weeks; but comparisons are odious, and,, possibly, if we pursued the subject further, we might find the Commons of an earlier day rather more useful than the Commons of our own. The results, of the late Session are stale and unprofitable. A splendid opportunity has been lost. It has become ob- vious to all men that the want of the times is a further reform, and a reconsideration of our financial system. Men of intelligence-omen in respectable situations—men of in- fluence find themselves excluded from the franchise whilst the poor tool of a tenant-farmer is ordered up to the poll tevote for protection and high rents. The large masses of artizans, who constitute the greatness and wealth of the State-by whom it is preserved against ruin and decay-are overlooked. Their political existence Is ignored—they are not to be trusted with a vote-the franchise is to go with bricks and mortar, not with men. This state of things re- quires to be remedied. To effect such a radical curje, how- ever, the Whigs are not prepared nor is this the only sin of omission. III the way of reducing expenditure and of re- adjusting the system of taxation, nothing-has been done—- for the taking off the burthen of the poor, nothing has been done—for.the education of the people-for- the removal of religious. persecution from our statute-book—in short, for the progress of the nation,—nothing has been done. And yet no session has been a busier one than the one that is now gathered to its fathers. SIR BENJAMIN HALL stated on Monday night,—" Since the passing of the Reform Bill he never knew a Session of Parliament in which a more anxious desire to transact the business of the country had been manifested. On the first Monday and Friday in July the House sat 19 hours. On the second Monday and Friday they sat 24 hours. On the third Monday and Friday they sat 22 hours and, on the fourth Monday and Friday they sat 2-5 hours and 50 minuths. On Monday, the 29th, and on the Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday follow- ing—four days—they sat-47 hours. They Jmtduring the session 1,041 hours altogether; or 10 hours every sitting day since-the commencement of the session." This was in- dependent of committee business, to which many of them were-obliged-to attend, in- addition. A tale is told of a cl countryman, whose regular attendance at his church excited the admiration of his neighbours. "Yes," was his reply, I goes to church, and lies my legs up, and -thinks of nothing." This luxary of thinking of nothing evidently is denied to the members of the'House of Commons.: They enjoy no sinecure.* They must work:—and work they do; but not in a manner to earn or deserve a nation's thanks. Their work has been but folly, and were better left undone. To squander thousands of pounds on a house that will never accommodate the members of Parliament, and in which hearing is altogether out of the question—to sanction the Admiralty in building steamers that wont sail, and that will splinter all to pieces when struck by a bullet—to up- holdsthe Woods and Forests-to shelve all inquiry into uni- versity of abuses—to pension off Royal Dukes—and to vote Iioval Palaces as if the land suffered from a plethora of abundance, has been the principal aim of the late session. Such measuresaspromised to be useful—such as were-required by the urgency., of the times—have been indefinitely post- poned but measures for- tiie promoting Royal extrava- gance were passed by i-nsc'leiit" majorities with indecent haste. How short were the passages of the Duks of CAMBRIDGE'S Annuity and the MARLBOROUGH'S Palace Bill through the House ? How long has Baron ROTHSCHILD z, knocked for admission at the door of ST. STEPHENS ? How long has London been virtually disfranchised? We recollect once hearing a comic song; the burden of which were the exploits of a would-be hero, whose efforts were always marred. by some im looked-tor circumstance. Whatever it was that lie intended to perform, alas! A little thing prevented." This little thing in some shape or other constantly attended, him, and in consequence his mighty plans vanished into air. Something akin to this has been the fate of our pre- sent Parliament. At the beginning of the sesson "There was siieneedeep as death, And the boldest held his brcat'U For a-time." There was great shaking of the head—much of the appear- ance of intellectual labour. According to the Protestionists, the farmers were again to have high prices and money in the purse. The friends of Reform was to be done for the consummation of that policy to which Free Trade led the way. Down to the veriest understrapper on the Treasury Benches, appearances were kept up—even the bottom of the Cabinet altered his language; for once he left the lion's part, and prepared to figure in the new comedy of Much Ado about Nothing." "1 will aggravate my voice so as I will roar you as gently as any sacking dove. I will roar you as t'were any nightingale," yet after all the miser- able results are one halfpenny worth of bread" to an intolerable deal of sack. The doom of the present ministry is sealed. Lord p ALIERSTON has saved them once, but even he will fail to do so again. A shuffling set of incapables; so awkward a squad should never have been entrusted. with the reigns of power. The session is drawing to its close; the members are on their way to their country seats—for fashionable watering places at home or equally fashionable haunts of gambling and dissipation abroad. For this session, at least, it is too late for them to retrace their steps—they have, how- ever, time to avert the impending storm—they have yet, however, another chance of achieving a nations deliverance from want and crime, and for obtaining for themselves a nations gratitude and praise. Prouder work was never given to them to do. The teeming masses of our countrymen it is yet in .their- power to mould, to influence, to direct. Young England, ill at ease, anxious, uninformed, seeking a rest for the sole of her foot, with undefined longings for what she knows not, they may yet lead on to greatness and to glory—the path is before them—the hour calls *>n them to tread it, duty imperiously commands, them, and the des- tinies of our country invite and implore. Hitherto they have shrunk back. In frivolities—in the tactics of party warfare—in ignominious debate—they have wasted their opportunities and powers. The hand writing is o/h the wall; they have been weighed in the balance and found wanting.

TOWN LETTEII. No. m. .0 ONCE more-1-as Horace Walpole wrote with his usual aristocratic insolence, or, rather; with the usual insolence of his orderthere is nobody in town. Royalty has flcd, aiid fashion follows. All things have an end, and a London season is no exception to the general rule. In whatever light it has been been viewed, the past season has no.) been a very brilliant one. In no walk of life has there been anything wonderful. The Black Mali bran was a failure— a very poor kind of Ethiopian serenader, nothing more. La Tempesta, notwithstanding the elaborate eulogies of. the press, did not take. Mr. Lumley has reaped little either -==-=. of praise or gold. Her Majesty's other theatre, under the management of Finality John, has been equally profitless. The only novelties of the season have been the arrival of the Nepaulese Ambassador and the hippopotamus. The latter, at any rate, after the unusual excitement it has had to undergo, will find it a relief that the season has come to an end, and that London is out of town. The inconvenience of the present stoppage- of all postal communication on a Sunday will, we apprehend, be very speedily done away with nor do we regret it. The reso- lution of the House of Commons, by which the old system was suspended, did in no manner represent the religion, but the hypocrisy of the country and that resolution was a thing not to be proud of but to be sorry for. On Wed- nesday the Report 01 the Commissioners appointed to con- sider whether Sunday labour in the Post-office may not be materially reduced, without putting an end to the delivery of newspapers on Sunday, was presented to the House of Commons. We are authorised to state that the Commis- sioners advise a single delivery and receipt of letters and newspapers on Sunday, that arrangements may be made to enable postmasters and their assistants to attend divine worship on alternate Sundays, and report that in very Small rural districts no extension of the time for the re- ceipt and delivery of letters and newspapers beyond that formerly permitted is required. The cry about the Sun- day Post-office profanation has not been a very creditable affair. Real true religion after all has gained but little by it. As our readers are well aware, the Freehold Land Movement has ever had our hearty sympathy and support. We consider it the most praiseworthy movement of the age. We believe its effects will be good socially, politically, and morally. Wherever it has been it. haa. been a positive blessing, .and no where more so than in the to wn-in which it had its origin, and where it is yet worked out to the fullest extent. We trust the friends of the people will support it more than they have yet done. The Importer says:—"It is not much more than two years since the first Freehold Land Society was established, upon the present improved and/equitable plan. Now there are nearly fifty in full force in various parts of the country, having no less than 14,281 membeis; They have issued 20y475 shares, 31 estates have been purchased and.allotted,the number of allotments being 3,193, and the votes created, 3,199, whilst' the price of the shares has varied, in the different societies, from £19 10s. to £ 40. The number of votes actually created is as yet but a drop in the ocean- towards the political emancipation of the masses by the aid of their own industry but before five years have passed away the above number will be augmented to not much less" thair 50,000r— a power of no insignificant nature, and' which may be wielded with immense weight either for good or for eviL" Governors must look out. '1 he people will not need to whine and beg the franchise: as a favour, they will win it for themselves. As regards money matters there are signs that the Free- trade policy, of late years is far from being so sucidal, as the Association for the Protection of British Capital and Labour believe. Employment is more plentiful and the necessaries of life are cheap. A great decrease of pauperism has in consequence taken place. The usual quarterly return of the Registrar-General has been published. The births regis- tered during the quarter ending June 30; were 155,727, the greatest number ever registered in England in the same I'1 t5 time. The marriages, which are registered only up to March 31, have only once been exceeded in the eleven cor- responding quarters of 1839-49; they number 36,425. The deaths registered were 93,005, -which is much below the average; indeed, the mortality has not been so low, except in one quarter, since 1837. The natural increase of the population was 62,722, without taking into account the births of children who may have escaped registration. In the same period, the number of emigrants from London, Plymouth, and Liverpool (the only English ports at which there are Government emigration officers), was 61,778. It might hence be inferred that the population of England was stationary; but a great number of the 50,156 emigrants from Liverpool were, it is believed,' from Ireland, and there has been for many years an uninterrupted stream of Irish immigration, which has replaced the emigrants of English origin; so that, notwithstanding the emigration, the popu- lation of England increased at- a faster rate from 1831 to 1841, than the probable excess of births over deaths would' imply. It is true people marry and have children in times- of scarcity, but not so readily as they do when money is to be made and the times are good. Hymen smiles most kindly on those well to do. Love in a cottage in England is con- sidered certainly an absurdity, almost a crime. Another cause for congratulation may be found in the following paragraph The reduction which the National Debt is about to undergo from the natural expiration of various annuities during the next twenty years is one of the most encouraging circumstances which -stimulate confidence in the future prosperity of the, couilli,y. The present annual charge in connexion with the public fund imd annuities is £ 27,686,458 and by statements recently prepared, it ap- pears that from this amount no less a-reduction than £ 3,2.07,500 will take place by the 5th of January, 1860 while, by the 5th of April, 1867, the diminution will have reached to £ 3,793,200, leaving the annual charge at £23,893,258. In France the President is spending his time in making a progress throughout ilie country like our maiden Queen, and yet in a far.different style. Hisg'ourftey continues to form the object of political speculation; and the general surmise that some pronunciamknto lies at the bottom of it keeps all parties eagerly on the stretch. The President seems to have done hw best to foment- this spirit of alarm- by his series of military dinners on the eve of parting. One remarkable feature in these was their quasi-publicity, for nothing but a few shrubs and palisades separated the revellers from the public road of the Champs EJysees; but Denmark and the Duchies continue to be the-principal topic of conversation. It is time that foolish war- should be brought to a close. The Daily :News v/ell remarks,— Another sanguinary battle is reported to have taken place on the confines of Schleswig-, Some ten thousand lives, with incalculable misery and loss, will have- been sacrificed, because the stupid and selfish statesmen of Europe have not been able either to respect people's rights or define their allegiance. In this matter England has not acted very honourab!yPa 1 morston sides with Russia-and"the irre- solute King- of Prussia trifles and delays, when the, interest of the whole fatherland are at stake. If we are to have arbitration we must have a new class of statesmen, We must not trust to the tools of Princes or-Courts. When the people's rights are to be secured the representatives of the people must be placed at the council board. Holstein put her faith in a King and bitter has been the result. "WIDE AWAKE.

CARDIFF. IN the H&iise of Commons on Tuesday, Sir R. Inglis pre- sented a petition from Glamorgan against the admission of Jews into Parliament. The county of Glamorgan has but little reason to be proud of such a fact. There is one alleviation connected with it—it must have come from a. locality so obscure that even its name is unknown. QUOIT CLUB.—On Saturday last, the Swansea Quoit Club, held at the Oxford Inn, met the Merthyr Club, at the Bnte Af nis, Cardiff, to playa match for the hoonur of the game. The ..morning was beautifully fine, but rather windy for large quoits. The number of players was eight on each side, arranged two against two, each to play forty-one shots—distance twenty-one yards. The play throughout was excellent on both sides, Swan- sea won by thirteen ,hofs-, the score for Sawnsea, being 164 Merthyr, 151. Several single matches were afterwards played, after which dinner was announced, when members and friends, to the number of thirty, sat down to an excellent entertainment provided by Mr. and Mrs; Taylor. After the clofh had been removed, several appropriate toasts were'given and responded to, and the party separated at five, highly delighted with the day's proceedings. The return match will be played at Swansea. SotiTii WALES DEPOT.—It seems that Cardiff is to be the regimental depot for South Wales. This will occasion the per- manent occupa ion of the Long Cross birracks and we have heard that applications have been made by official parties for a house in the neighbourhood of Charles-street, for the accom- modatiou of six officers, in connexion with the new arrange- ments. -in inquest was held yesterday at the Glamor- gan Hotel, before L.Roece, Esq., coroner, respecting the decease of two boatmen, named Joseph N\Iilll,Illli, ID, and 1 homas Jones, 18. It appeared that the two men, together with a man named Lewis Perry, were sleeping in a "barsje laden with iron rails and lying in the Glamorganshire Cauai, on Yv eunesday night. Another boatman, namec! David D:\vif!: was passing on the following morning about three o'clock, when he heard groans issuing from the boat. He immediately ran for assistance, and having procured the help of about It dozen men, the boat, which was partially filled with water, was drawn up, and after taking some planks of the bide of the boat, they succeeded in drawing up Lewis Perry, in an insen- sible state. They at once took him to Davis's house, and Dr. Wallace having been sent for, the usu-d remedies were applied. and in a short time he recovered sufficiently to be able to state that two others were left behind. Upon returning to the hoat Joseph Williams had been taken out quite dead, and upon further search being made the other unfortunate individual was discovered, life also had fled. The cause of the accident appears to have been owing to a stage having been erected on tire boat of an unusual height, and the barge being in a leaky state, it overturned during the night. The jury re- turned a verdict of Accidental death," accompanied with a strong recommendation to the Canal authorities to prevent stages being erected above a certain height in the bou:s in future. CRICKET.—On Friday last, a match of cricket was played between the Cardiff, and the Clifton Cricket Club. After somJ excellent play the Cardiff gentlemen beat their opponents with 7 wickets to go down. QUOITS.—A match of quoits was played on Saturday last, for zilo a side, between the Swansea and Merthyr Clubs, and vie. tory was gained by the former., After the game, the players ad- journed to Mr. laylors, at the Bute Arms, where they enjoyed a good dinner.. ANOTHER CASE OF FURIOUS DRIVING,- We have alluded else- where to an act of furious driving, in which a child was nearly maimed for life. On the following day, a boatman named George Pitton, was brought before the Mayor, and C. C. Williams, Esq., at the station-house, and fi-ried E I and cost", for furiouslv driving over- Thomas Palmer, Carpenter, of 77 Great Frederick street, and breaking his collar bone. This no doubt will prevent parties from being so reckless in future. THE PALIESUF. Ihis boat has unfortunately been suffering; from. another slight accident. She is again however, in excellent trim and reached this port on Wednesday, with a good comple- ment of goods. A STREET. COMMISSIONERS' MEETING was held on Monday, but no business of any importance was transacted. An adjourned meeting will take place on Monday next. GAUDIER SAVINGS' BANK.—ELECTION OF ACTUARY.—On Monday last a meeting of the trustees, shareholders, &c., took place at the bank, for the purpose of electing a fit and proper person to fill the office of actuary, lately made vacant by the decease of. Mr. James Berry.. There were several candidates previous to the meeting, but they had all withdrawn their claims, the bnly one remaining in the field being Mr. James Emerson Williams, editor and reporter of the Cardiff and Merthyr Guardian newspaper. This gentleman was proposed in the most flattering manner by Bruce Pryce, Esq., seconded by the Rev. Thomas Stacey, and was unanimouEly elected. The salary was fixed for £ 100 a-year, with the house to reside in, the occupier paying rates and taxes. To prevent any inconvenience to the widow, Mr. Williams has kindly consented to allow her to remain at the house until December, and a subscription has been set oil foot for the purpose of rendering her assistance iu her bereaved condition.- ACCIDENT.—On Monday morning last, an accident, which might have terminated fataliy, happened to one of Mr. Robert Nichul's children, a girl 3 years of age, painter, residing in this town. The Ii ttle creature was passing across St. Mary-street, on an errand with the servant, when a cart belonging to Mr. Treodar, gardener, of Canton, was being driven at such a furious rate that before the little creature, who was a little behind .tLs giri, couid get out of the way, it was knocked down and run over, its legs .suffering severely from the accident. Owing to the prompt and skilful surgical attendance of Dr. Wallace, she is going Oil favourably. We have olten cautioned .persons for neglect of horses whilst in the street, and also for furious driving, and sincerely hope all such offenders will be made examples of. And on Wed- nesday, as a female was crossing, at the top of High street, she was knocked down by a cart belonging to Mr. Evans Chyia mer- chant, of tihs town. However we are glad to sinie that ail parties are rapidly recovering from the injurieifreeeivtd.

POLICE.—MONDAY, AUGUST 12. — [Before C. VacheU, Esq., Eayor, and C. C. Williams, Eaq. John Bryan, Cornelius Bryan, "Michael Harrington, and ael Bryan were charged with being, drunk and disorderly in Lan- clo1'c-coart, on Sunday evening, about nine o'clock. It appeared upon the evidence of P.C. Thomas Morgan (Mo. 9), that they were all trying to break the door in, of a house in which a woman was near her confinement. They were also all fighting together and were quite drunk. There were a great number there, and it was described by the policcman as being a regular irish row. Fined 5s. each and costs. James Carney.was charged with assisting in the row in Laa- dore-eourt, and attempting to rescue Michael Bryan from custody. Eined'TOs. and expenses, or fourteen days' imprisonment. David. PhiUips' Was coniphtined against for descr.ii.-g his wife and family, and leaving thefrr chargeable to the parish of St. John's. It appeared trom the evidence of the relieving officer that he was applied to by Phillips' wife, two weeks ago, for relief, and had received from that time, 5s., in two payments. The de- fendant said he was a night watchman at some coal yards near tha Bute Dock, and had frequently given his wife money to provide the house, which she disposed of otherwise. The wife denied that she had received so much money-as deposed to by her husband, and lia '(I paid rent &c. with what she ha;1 given her. The Mayor, said that the evidence was .conflicting, and both man and wife appeared to live on yeryunhappy terms. TLc better way wouid be ft;r,ttiezii-to live separately, the husband to allow her 4s. out of his week's wages, which he had stated to be 14s. a week. Tint defendant muTiiiured much at this decision, and upon the Mayor informing him that he was liable to a month's imprisonment for Lreaking the law, also ordered that the 5s. advaneed to the wife, should be refunded or the penalty of imprisonment inflicted. Elizabeth Alexander, an old woman, complained against Arm Phillips,, a. "young lady," for an assault. It appealed from complainant's evidence, that on Friday morning last, a captain of a vessel came into defendant's house, where complainant lodged, and was requested^ by the landlady to send for drink. Some hav- ing been procured, she advised Alexander to use the usual method adoptedthat of rohbing from the person upon the first opportu- nity offering itself. Before refused, the old woman felt annoyed, and after imbibing an improper portion of intoxicating liquor, a row ensued, and complainant was cut with a knife. A witness was called by complainant, named Charles Foot, who proved to be her favourite, and he corroborated a portion of Alexander's statement, but did not see the bio ,v struck with the knife. A cross summons having been taken, out against Alexander and her paramour, the old woman was-placetl upon. her oath. She stated that they both came home drunk and sent for a pint of beer by Foot, with a ticket, and also promised to put another pint to it." Considering afterwards that he could not afford it, she did not do so, and, on returnidg, Jseceived a severe blow from Foot.
