The Re- form Bill has entailed an average expence of 1001. a year on the county rate, fey'compelling the clerk of the peace to iuruish a classified 1st of voters. Tl\ee lists must be furnished annually to the sheriff, and one piinter in Loudon stated that he could not print them iu conformity to the act under 12JZ! Mr. Guest at this sessions made some strong ob- jections to the Magistrates transacting the business of the County Rates in the Grand Jury-room. Notwith- standing the Grand Jury room is open to the public, Mr. Guest considered that this business ou!{ht to be transacted in the Town Hall; to which the Magis- trates were unanimously opposed, on the ground that it was impossible to dispatch a business consistinar of numerous items of account in 81) large an assembly. The Chairman observed, that the experiment had been tried in Norfolk, and had most deplorably failed. Mr. Guest afterwards moved that wti account of the items of expenditure of the County Rate be adver- tised quarterly a plan which had been proposed by the late excellent Chairman of the Quarter Sessions, Evan Thomas, Esq. of Sully, and which was unani- mously adopted. On Thursday last, at a Capilular Meeting, held in the Cathedral, at Llsndafl', the Rev. IV. B Knight, M. A., Chancellor of the Church, was elected a Mem- ber of Convocation for the Chapter of Llandaff. At the same meeting, the Rev. John Williams, M. A- Curate of Landough St. Mary church, in this county, was presented; by she Archdeacon and Chap- ter of Llandaff, to the Vicarage of Eglwysilan, va. cant by the death of his late tUth^Hhe Rev. Howel Wi1 Haras. We understand that several views of Cardiff and its neighbourhood,, have been lately painted by a youug artist of the name of Wilson, who is a native of Cardtft, and has, for some years past, been a house- painter there. These paintings are highly creditable to the talents of the artist, particularly a view of the northern entrance into Cardiff, and a north view of St John's church, painted for the Rev. H. E. Graham. We and that Wilson is now engaged in taking a view of Caerphilly Castle, for the Marquis of Bute; and we have no noubt that, under his Lordship's patronage and that of Mr. Graham, and his friends, at. Cardiff, this young artist will be enabled further to cultivate his talents. DJNER. AT CoWBttlDCE TO JOllY NiCHOLL, Esq., M. P.—On Thursday, Dec. 2T, a very num r ous and most respectable. body of the electors of the eastern borough* of this comity, and of the gentry resident in the neighbourhood of the hotoughs of Car- diff, Cowbridge, and Lanfrissent, met at the Bear Inn, fit the town of Coivbi-idgei and entertained the newly ejected member, John Nicholl, Esq. at a dinner to celebrate his return. The great room at the Bear Inn was most tastefully decorated for the occasion, and the company, to the number of 115, sat down to a sumptuous dinner at four o'clock. The tioll. William Booth Grey presided, and Mr. E. Ballard officiated as V. P. Among the gentry of the county present, we noticed Charles M. R. Morgan, Esq., of Ruperra, Col. Morgan, of LiatidouZh Castle, Robert Francis Jenner, Esq. ofWenvoe Castle, the Reverends Dr. Williams, John M. Trahertip!, George Traherne, Robert Knight, James Coles, Roper Trevor Tyler E. Kaight. O. Jenkins, J. Williams, — Morgan, &c! Lieut. Col. Bourne, Major Edmondes, Llewellyn Tra- herne, M. P. Traherne, Whitlock Nicholl, T. W, Booker, Hugh Entwisle, Richard Franklen, Nash E. Vaughan, John Hardiiisr, Wheatley, H. Lewis, Robt. Savours, John Samuel, Thomas Basset, Richard Bas- set, William Meyriek, R. L. Reece, Euward Bradley, Esqrs.^&c. &c. On the removal of the cloth, the _uuat loyal and patriotic toasts were given from the Chair—" the King, the Queen and Royal Family?"" the Army and Navy," 41 the Lord Lieutenant of the County," and the Members for the County," were severally drank with every demonstration of respect and loyalts. The Chairman, in proposing the toast which he said *f all-others he knew would prove the popular one of the day, lamented that the unexpected call wh ch had been made upon him to preside on the present occa. sion had prevented the duties of the chair from falliuo- into abler hands; he still, however, most cheerfully y undertook them. He had at the bustitigs proposed Mr. Nicholl as an individual in every way qualified and worthy of the honour of representing them, aud, after a struggle which had been maintained ou both side's with perseverance but with the most perfect go^d humour, he now fe!t the greatest pride and pieanure in presiding at this meeting in celebration of his triumphant return. He now welcomed him as their rected and honoured representative, in whose character they placed sufficient reliance to de' ar !'m from asking from him any pledje but he (the Chair- man) here pledged him-nay he even pledged himself and the friends that he saw around hint, that a more respected, honoured, and independent representative was, not returned to the House of Commons, than the representative for the eastern boroughs of Glamorgan. He had known Mr. Nicholl from his early y^uth until now, and in his character aud conduct both public private, and domestic, he had ever witnessed those sterling qualities both of head and heart, which are th<* strongest claims to public confidence and private regard. The Chairman concluded a most feeling and eloquent appeal by proposing the health of their re- presentative and guest, John Nicholl, Esq with four times four. the Toast was drank with the most enthusiastic •chee. ing. Mr. Nicholl rose amid the most rapturous applause, and spoke as follows:- Gentlemen,- I asstire you that it has recently repeat- edty occurred to me to feet totally at a loss for words to -express my sentiments and sensations; but on no occasion of oiv life did 1 ever feel so overpowered as at the present moment. To be selected as a member of the legislature of his country ia a proud distinction for any man, but to he returned by such a constituency as I possess, under circumstances, so peculiarly flattering and gratifying to my feelings as I have been, and moreover to be sanctioned and welcomed by such an assemblage as I now see before me, are events which, between the load of gratitude under which they lay me, and the exultation with which they elate me, leave me barely master of my own feelings. I can only say, Gentlemen; that from the bottom of my heart I thank you. Gentlemen, the present meeting, is especially gratifying to me, arising as it does from a volun- tary invitation to me from you, in all of whom ( recognise my constituents, my neighbours, and my personal and valued friends, And, gentlemen, if there is one circum- stance more than another gratifying to n;e on the present occasion, it is, that this meeting is presided over by my long known and deservedly esteemed and respected friend, to whom, for the sentiments and opinions he has expressed regarding e, I feel it beyond my power to express my thanks. Gentlemen. there is one sentiment which he has expressed, which is peculiarly gratifying to me he has said your confidence in me has debarred you from demand- ing any pledge from ice but he has pledged himself and you that I will prove uot unworthy of the s:a:ion to which you have elevated me. Gentlemen, if I ever forfeit that pledge, to which he has made yourselves, himself, and uiyself sureties, dismiss me with the ignominy I atiali deserve. It is true, indeed," you have required no pledges from me in guarantee of my public conduct. Had you done so, it would not have consisted with my ideas of propriety to have accepted the trust you have reposed in me. You have sent me to parliament a free, unshackled, and independent representative and as sucii I will freely iing hjdepen4*ntly serve~ you. Although, .bowev.er.1ien. tleiuen, not pledged, it would be absurd to say that I have er hot my political prepossessions. I will freely confers I was a determined opposer of the measure of Reform, which is tIOwbecome the law of the Land. It is, however, be- come the law of the land; a majority of the con- stituted authorities of the Siatep has made it so; and a such I will pav it; not a constrained, but a cheerful obedience. Yousliall not find me aiding captiously in endea- vouring to thwart it. I shall feel it my duty not to pay obedience to the letter Anly, but to the spirit of the law also. Bat, gentlemen, here I must pause: the Reform Act, from roe, shall have fair play but I must take leave to consider it a final measure, and I cannot, and will not lend myself to those WHO, clamouring for Reform, would hurry us on to Revolution. In saying, gentlemen, that I must consider it a final measure, I only adopt the idea and determination of some of its very authors. Foreseeing, I presume, or rather experiencing the licentiousness into which liberty is fat degenerating, one of the Ministers of the Crown (Mr. Stanley) on a recent public occasion, has declared that he considered the measure of Reform afinal measure-, and as such it must be tried, and have fair play, and not be hastily or rashly tampered with. Mr. Stanley I knew in early life, and he is one of the King's Ministers in whom I am disposed to place confidence. I am similarly disposed towards Lord Lansdown." The Hon. Member proceeded in a strain of great eloquence and power to comment upon the political topics of the day; and, after some allusions to local and county politics, and to the position in which he bad himself stood as a candidate for the representa- Hou- of the county, and the circumstances which had induced him to wit'ndruw the contest for a county seat, he concluded by saying, Gentlemen,—f havenow the honour of being Member for the Eastern Boroughs of Glamorganshire, I shall take my seat, itl the first reformed Parliament I trust, as independent a man as any that are returned thither. 1 shallncither how to the frowns, nor be allured by the smiles of the rich and powerful, nor shall I he deterred from the honest discharge of mv duty by the clamour and intimidation of the riotous, the lawlcs< and tumultuous." Justum & tenaccm propositi virum TJort civium ardor prava jubentium, "Nonwultos instan^ Tyranni sclrcia.] ;1' i I The Hon. Member concluded a most maniy and I brilliant address in the course of the delivery of \xhich, he was repeatedly interrupted by bursts cf applause, by thanking the company for the high honour they had done him. He then said, Gentlemen,—I have now a toast to propose to you, 'hat I know will be received with all the warmth that the worth of the individual to whom it relates deserves. Gentlemen, the toast I give you is, my honoured and valued friend, o r worthy and universally esteemed and beloved Chairman. In speaking of my friend, gentlemen, I cau hardly trust my own feelings: he has himself told vou the length and standing of our intimacy, and I here publicly express the pain I feel that I was ever for one moment separated from him. On one occasion, however, 1 waa separated from him, and although it was solely on public grounds, I atn fully conscious that a less generous li,-art than Mr. Grey possesses, might have made that t'mp Tary separation operate against me under the circum- stances in which I have recently been. and am at present placed. He has, however, generously forgotten and tor- L' given all and indebted to him, as 1 avow myself to be,, for acts of kindness in early life, such as I have received from no one else. it is a piond satisfaction to me, in the meridian of life, to find myself again united with him in bonds of friendship and public and private regard, which nothing, I am hold to hope, can or shall now weaken or unlove. Gentlemen, I have here only paid a debt of gratitude, due from myself to my friend Mr. Grey. In calling upon you to driuk his health, I well know that the estimation in which vou hold him will ten you how you should drink him. Drink him, gentlemen, as You. love him, and this room will scarcely contain your enthusiasm. I give you our respected and honoured friend and presi- dent, Mr. Grey." The Toast was drank with the most tremendous cheers, and Mr. Grey, who appeared much affected, most warmly returned thanks. Mr. Nicholl very delicately and gallantly proposed "The Ladies of Glamorganshire, associating wi,h them, as a model of every social and domestic virtue, the Hou. Mrs. Grey. The Toast was drank with rounds of applause. Mr. Grey very neatly and ap- propriately relurued thanks. The Chairman then bt'gged to give the health of a gentleman who sat on his left, Mr. NTorgan, of Ru- perra. He gave him on private as well as pubtic grounds: on private grounds, as an individual con- nected by a long line of honourable ancestry, and by very extensive property, with this county, and who, in h;s private and domestic character, was a pattern j of every thing that was estimable, amiable, and kiud la him the rich found a steTliug" friend and neighbour, and the poor a benevolent protector; white a nume- rous and respectable tenantry regarded him as a kind and considerate landlord. 4s a public character, he had especial claims upon their notice ahd regard; for who had not heard of the manly fight he had recently maintained for the conservative principles which they all had so much at heart, in a neighbouring borough, where, though he had been defeated, it was said to be by such means as rendered his very defeat a vic- tory. and made it more than probable that they might even yet have the satisfaction of congratulating hint on being the real Member for Brecon. He begged to give Mr. Morgan, with 3 times 3. Mr. Morgan rose and was received with immense applause; when the cheers had subsided he spoke as follows Gentlemen, I assure you I am deeply sensible of the kindness which you have shown mc on this, and on every occasion, when I have the pleasure of meeting my Gla- morganshire neighbours and friends, I am conscious, gentlemen, that I am but little personally known among you, but most assuredly this county has the strongest claims upon my interest and regard, and I can only hope that as we grow older we shall know each other better Gentlemen it has not only afforded me great pleasure to meet you here today; but I have derived peculiar pleasure from joining you in paying aVleserved compliment to my friend, now your representative, lr, Nicholl, whom ( have known from a boy and have only known to admire and esteem him gentlemen, I congratulate you on the choice you ave made of him as your representative. The chairman has been pleased to allude in very kind terms to my recent defeat at Brecon; every one who knows me will allow, that from my personal habits a seat in Parliament is not an object of any great ambition to me. I feel, however, that these are times when all men have duties to perform, and from which no private and personal considerations ought to induce them to shrink. I feel that a spirit is ahroai), which threatens destruction to every institution which we value in the state, and which is alike an object of danger to the comforts and tranquility of the poor, and the wealth and possessions of the rich. To check this dangerous spirit I have stood forward, and although a defeated candidate, I feel that my defeat is not attended with degradation. In my late struggle I had all the wealth and respectability of Brecon on my side my friends did not desert me, nor did I desert them r I did not shrink from the contest, nor, when it was over, IIld I sneak away from the place of my defeat. Upwards of 1<50 gentlemen on horseback and an immense assembly on foot escorted me ottt oFferecon, and I felt I could well afford to u:y oplionciittlie triumph he had gained. But, gentlemen, I rejoice that the "principles we prof sshave been more triumphant here than at Brecon, I can assure you that Glamorganshire will always be (teelply interesting to me, and it will ever afford me the greatest pleasure to be in any way instrumental in promoting its welfare and prosperity, and also in contributing to its sport and amusements. I beg to return you my sincere thanks for the honour you have done me." Mr. Nicholl gave in most affectionate terms the health of the Rev Dr. Williams, to whom he sai he was deeply indebted for the honour he had done him 10 seconding his nomination at the hustings. He paid a most eloquent and merited eulogium to the pub- lic and private character of the Rev. Doctor, which was received by the company with marked applause. Dr. Williams acknowledged the compliment very feelingly, saying that in Cowbridgc all his piide ..nd happiness was centered, that if he possessed the esteem of his neighbours, it arose from his constant residence among and uninterrupted intercourse with them; that h,s time and his fortune were expended among th-m, and he could five no better proof that the regard they expressed for him was mutual. That in seconding the nomination of Mr. Nichol', he felt he was introducing a worthv man to them, and one who was in every way qualified to serve them; that Mr Nicholl's public character was based on the strong rock of private iutegi ity and relig-ious and moral prin- ciple; and in such a man, residiug as he did in their neighbourhood, and identified as he .vas with the county, he felt Cowbridire and the other boroughs miffht b jusfly proud. Mr. Nicholl with great warmth and animation. Lrave the «Squire of Lauharran." The toast was drank with immense cheelinrr The chairman gave their adopted countryman and estimable sportiug friend aud neighbour, Mr. Entwisle, and success to the Uaoblethian hounds. Mr Entwisle returned thanks and gave The Farmers." The chairman, in eloquentand very appropriate terms gave, the '-Co.ntm.rciat and manufacturing interests of the county of G'amorgan," associating with the toast the name of Mr. Booker, who returned thanks and gave « Agriculture, Ships, Colonies, and Commerce." The chairman gave ,l Col. Morgan and the Glamor- ganshire Militia." Col. Morgan returned thanks in a wery eloquent and animated speech. Mr, Nicholl gave -ci The Rev. Robert Knight," who returned thanks in a most impressive, eloquent, and powerful speech. The heatth of Llewelyn Traherne, Esq was also drank with great applause, and that gentleman re- tortied- thaoku. 1; .1 1: Mr. Vivian and the Western Boroughs. Mr. Guest, and the Borough of Merthyr," and many other loyal aud patriotic toasts were also drauk; and the meeting separated at a tate hour, all deliglited with the conviviality of the day. e. We much regret that great press of matter prevents our giving at length the admirable speeches of the Rev. Robert Knight, Col. Morgan, T. W. Booker, psq &e. &c., which were particularly animated and eloquent. The funeral of the Rev. John Llewelyn, whose death we noticed in onr last, took place at Coycburch, on Tuesday, the 1st instant. His remains were fol- lowed to the grave by a number of clergymen, anxicus to testify their respect and affection for Olle so well known and deservedty lameuted, and by nearly the whole of his parishioners, who will lonsr bear in re- membrance his piety, sincerity, and zealous exer- tions iu the cause of his Gre:>.t Master. Unconnected as he was by the ties of family, or long residence, the general sorrow, testified by all classes for his prema- ture loss, affords the best proof of the affection, with which his memory will be loti,, and juraly cherished. SWANSEA.—On Sunday morning last, between eight and nine o'clock, the inhabitants of this place were much alarmed in consequence of the shock of an earth- quake. The ctfect was so violent and unexpected, that many persons, who were in bed at the time, were were glad to make their escape into the streets with all possible speed, expeclhig at least that the houses were falling on their heads, In many parts of the town chimuics were thrown down dressers,cupboards, clock c'ases, t,c. &c. were removed from their places, and some china and g'ass broken. The bells in many bowses were also agitated, and several vessels were removed nearly two teet from where they lay. We understand the shock to have been partial, as it was not felt much beyond Aberavon, where a wall was thrown down. At the Mumbles, Glanmore, and Gower, it was severely felt, but we do not understand that it at all experienced at J-Ianctly or Cartnarthea, *■ ■ r- 1 :¡ ..) P rovidentially we hear of no lives being lost, and but fittle damage sustained. JUVENILE OFFENDEftg.gonic days since four younsr lads, from 14 to 16 years of age, succeeded in carrying off the till, with its contents, between 41. and 51. from the shop of Mr Cawker, of Swansea, grocer They were overheard by some persons who heard them eli-puling whell dividing the money, &c. which led to their apprehension. They are now in custody, and it is expected they will be fully committed il a few day. ITLON TIIADR, (From a Correspondent).- We have much pleasure ill being able to state that a slight in- crease has taken place in the price of iron, which, although at present we believe confined to particular works, augurs well for a general rise in the spring. ASTOVISHING ESCAPE —On Monday evening, at eight o'clock, Mr. James Havard, of Brecon, was riding from Dowlais t. Merthyr, when, near that part of the road in which Gellyfailo;,r bridge forms a rather abrupt curve, the sudden report of som- fire works caused the horse to spring with such violence against the parapet of the bridge as to precipitate Mr. Havard over his head. Mr. H., by great activity, contrived to tret hold of the stone wo k on the outside ot th? bridge, by which he clUll for some minutes, calling for assistance, without being heard. The stones by wh ch he held at length loosened and gave way, upon which htt clung to others, which in like manner failed, till at length being completely exhausted, he iell -1110 the Taff from a height of rather more than 34 feet He received a severe contusion in the head from a stone striking him as he fell but fortunately sus fained, oil the whole, so little injury as to be able to resume his journey the following day. GLAMORGANSHIRE AGRICULTURAL REPORT.— The operations of farming at this season afford little to interest, being chiefly confined to the flail and the thrashing machine. Of these instruments the lat- ter is in this county falling into disuse, to the great advantage of affording more regular employment to the labourer in winter as well as in summer. The weather has been unusually inild, with scarcely any frost, the thermometer having barely touched the freezing point during the winter but we have had a share of rain exceeding whatis usualevenin this moist climate, fi-ocn which we look forward to an interval of dry weather. Below is the monthly depth of rain for the last year. The ground is so saturated with moisture, that clayey soils have been too wet for the plough, and some pieces of potato land remain still unsown with wheat; on dry gravelly soils ploughing- is not backward, and the usual quantity of stubbles are turned over. 'I he wheat plant where the laud was laid up dry at seeding time looks we 1, aud continues to grow the small old-fashioned ridge of only three or four feet wide, almost peculiar to this country, now assumes its superiority over the wide flat lidjje, as tending to keep the land much drier. The early sown wheat would he greatly benefitted by a little frost to check its growth. At our late fairs, store stock have produced only low prices, and the demand was very limited good sheep are scarce, from the great mortality in the last three or four years, and mutton, we expect, will be dear in the spring.

HYMN OF THANKSGIVING FOR PRESERVATION FROM THE CHOLERA. (oaJoi.Nii,.) Within our Isle, along our shores. The angel ofdestrtiction pours The vials of his wrath The rich, the poor, the young, the old. The strong, the timid, and the bold Have met him in their path. But vainly do they interpose O'er Isles and Continents he goes. Nor ought to bar his way In RUIIsia, and the glowing East, I In seasons, ci lines- expected least, > He marks his route with prey. Hedips, like sea fowl,on the tide, ADd reappearing, tar and wide, i Surprise and terror spread '• He breathes, and sickness iu his breath Induces agony, and death J The living fear the dead. While moving his mysterious round, In life and death we still arc found, Before our Maker's face. Let now, 0 Lord. thine arm be bared, And whom thy Providence hath spared, Save fully by thy grace I In awe of Thee we still would stand. In prayer to Thee we bear our land, And still on Thee rely Remove the scourge, upon us smile, And bless thy Church, our King, our Isle, Then bear us up on high. J. EVERETT, J. EVERETT.^

As the constable was conveying- his charge to prison, Howe bolted, and es- caped across the Monnow a manoeuvre which he had practised once before.

I BRECONSHIRE. BRECON.-On Thursday the 20th ult. Col. Wood, M P. for the county of Brecon, visited the gaol of that county. He expressed himself much pleased with the arrangements within the prison, and with his usual benevolence left fotif sovereigns in the hands of Mr Rice, the governor, to be laid out as he should con- sider most advisable for the benefit of the poor pri- soners. BRECON QUARTER SF.SSIONS.—These Sessions com- menced on Tuesday, and we are happy to say, have been exceedingly liLIit, with the exception of one most outrage- otii case of assault upon Sir Charles Morgan. The appeal of the parish of Pembrvn, Carmarthenshire, v. the pari-h of Penderrin, Brtconsfiire, was quashed by mutual consent. The appeal of the Inhabitants of Traionglaes, in the parish of Llywell, v. the Inhabitants of Maoscorr, in the parish of Devynock, was heard, but the appellants having failed to produce the pauper, the order was confirmed, with 40s. costs. Lewis Morgan was tried on an indictment fetmd at'the Michaelmas Sessions against him for an assault on Sir Charles Morgau. 11. Jones, carpenter of Aber, was at Brecon the first day of last Assizes in July; saw Sir Charles Morgan entering the town in his carriage at five in the afternoon saw prisoner-, opposite Mr. Bright's liouse, the butcher in Highstree.t.. stoop down behind some crates, and on rising up he cried out Watkins for ever," twice the second time he threw something, witness could not say what, which struck sir Chailes Morgan in the face. Sir Charles made an excla- mation, and put his hands to his face, and immediately witness saw the blood flow from his nose. Witness col- lared prisoner, and dragged him to the door of Mr. Sym. monds, the shoereakel's shop. Witness, being cross examined., deposed, in addition to his former evidence, that prisoner afterwards being in custody, said that Hargest was going to appear against him, and requested witnesanot to do sn. At the time the stone was thrown the carriage was stopping, and near upsetting, Powell the sawyer hav, ing got between the wheels near the axlctren. John Hargest, in Bailiglaes, Brec.-n, mason, saw pri- soner throw a stone at the carriage; did not see whether it hit the carriage cross-cxamined, did not endeavour to take prisoner into custody. Miles Jones, servant to Sir Charles Morgap, opened the carriage door when Sir Charles caime to his )iouse, and ftw his nose bleeding from a deep cut near one of his eye*; mentioned it to him; Sir Charles said he had'beeiFMrack. Thomas Bait. Esq. surgon. Was called in to attend Sir Charles in July last; the wound had been prcvfously dressed by Dr. Wynter, as witness was from home when sent for. It was a severe wound by the angla near the eye; apparently a contused wound occasioned by acme hiunt substance striking the place. Had no doubt if the blow ha 1 been full on the eye, it would have deprived that eye of sight. Guilty.—Sentence, A fine of five pounds, and to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour three calendar months, and to be further imprisoned until the fine was paid. Warkin Price to a charge of ssaultlng oneTbos. Jefferys, pleaded guilty. Sentence, a fine of 20s. and six weeks' imprisonment and hard lahotir- THE BIT Ens BIT. (Fi-on)aCork-e-pondent.)-AtBre. con, a short time bince, three young men were sum- moned before the magistrates to answer ail information laid against them for what is termed ferretting rab- bits, or rather for a trespass on grounds where they had no right to tread upon. We understand the partift were returning towar.ls Brecon, aloag tbe Trecastle road, and in their way, we dont know whether to make their route shorter or otherwise, they, f-ither from the d rkness of the evening, or from the wish of having a little sport, got into a wood on the road side a person narrowly watched their progress, and shortly afterwards waited on the Brecon magistrates and aid an in format inP against the three; however, two were not summoned to appear, the one who was, appeared In-fore the OIag-i trates, a id ably defended himself, but did not succed. H:" wa* convicted in the penally of 21., which he immediately paid. He, however, with great presence ot mind, ihonght of au old conviction against his present informer and ano- ther, of about twelve months' s anding, and requested h? mi^ht bedetained until the same could be procured. Search was accordingly made forthwith, and the con- viction for sporting, against the present informant and h:s compauiOIl. was found, and the result wa,% that the person who had now to pay the 2Z. had, to his great satisfaction, the pfeasiug offi(" (with asbitaiieel of conveying the informant and his former companion to the county gaol, where they both now remain without being able to obtain the means of finding sufficient cash to exiricate themselves' from the bondage made by their own hands.—Mertin. CARMARTHENSHIRE ELECTION—The election for the county of Carmarthen terminated in the return of the HOll. Col. Rice Trevor and C.H.Adams, Esq.; the slate of ths poll being, Trevor Adams 1638; Will ams 1501. On Monday week the result of the election was officially deci&red by the Sheriff, and the Hon. Col. Trevor, the Conservative Member, escorted by a splendid and numerous cavalcade of his friends on horseback, proceeded from Dyuevor Castle, under a salute of cannon from the castle, and peals fioni the church bells, through triumphal arches erected for the occasion, into the town of Llandilo. The procession, which spread over a Joult extent of ground, and presented a most interesting view, was preceded by two excellent bauds of music, and headed by Mr. Caleb Jones, who was decorated with a red scarf, bearing- the motto "Y coeh yn erbyn y byd." He was followed by about four hundred horsemen, two al reast—numerous flags and banners, with appro- priate insci iptions; these were followed by a iQiig string of carriages, in the last of which was the Hun, Colonel and home of the leading gentlemen in his in. terest the whole cavalcade was brought up by about a hundred horsemen, as a garde lilt corps. Mr. Adams and his friends entered the town, attended by a small escort of hor emen and about half a dozen carriages and other vehicles. Shortly after the parties had ar- rived at the hustings, the Sheriff declared the result of the election, and the return of the Hon. Col. Tre- vor was received with enthusiastic cheering; which having somewhat subsided, the Hon. and Gallant Col. addressed the electors, and courteously and eloqueutly returned thanks for the honour they had done him. Mr. Adams them came forward, and addressed the meeting in a speech advocating the principles of Re- form, and concluded by saying, that if, when in Par. liament, the county did not approve of his conduct he should resign his trust into their hands. Mr James Williams then addressed the electors, and was received throughout his speech with loud cheering. The substance of his address was, that he had endeavoured to prevent the county from becoming a nomination borough, and the Hon. Baronet read some letters which he had written to Lord Cawdor, in confirmation of this fact. He had been a real reformer, a.id had not buoyed the pfopteupwithmacoinceht hopes which he knew could nerer be realized. He hoped th,it that motion of which he had given notice, for the repeal of the ntalt duties, would he followed up by other members and he said that if the income placed under the control of Ministers was retrenched, they must, by lopping off useless places and pensions, make it suffic to meet the public creditor. He thanked the 1 5.14 voters who had supported him, for their support, and he thanked the electors then assem- bled for the kinduess with which they had listened to his last dying speech. (No, no. ) John John-, Esq. of-Dolecothy then eddreeeed the electors, and after a warm eulogium on Sir James Williams, said that Mr. Adams was the representative- rather of Lord Cawdor than ot'he county, and that Col. Trevor, in soliciting the undivided votes ofhis friends, had conduced no lets than the Noble Lord to the suc- cess of Mr. Adams. The electors by returning two members of opposite principles had completely neu. trailed the representation of the county. It was to Sir Jam s Williams that the county was indebted for its donble representation, and they uow beheid hima signal mon m-nt of their gra-itude for the benefit bt- had conferred upoa tlJf'II!,AI,d of what migbl be ex- pect od by men who Cdnte fo ward to represent the. county upon purely independent principles. Col. Trevor requested to be informed, whether the gentleman meant to impute to 111111 the violation of any pledge; to which Mr. J hns replied, that on the con- trary he cons.dered Colonel Trevur too honourable to do so. The members were then chaired; and Cok Trevor and his friends af terwards sat down to an excellent dinner, and the usual loyal and patriotic toasts, which callrd forth several able and eloqticat iipeeches, closed he proceedings of the day. BIUTISH BENEVOLENCE.—E. Eardly Wilmot, the Conservative Member, returned by a large majo- rity, for the northern division of Wawickshire, has made an appeal, through advertisement iu the iiirm- ingham Gozeltr, to the nobi ity, clergy, laity, and and ladies of Warwickshire, on behalforf the distressed ribbon weavers. Her Majesty, with that prompt be- vi,ilfch pervades ad iter actions, has ously bien p eased to stibscrtuc i')o/. for their relief: her exam; ie has been immediately followed by her Royal H:ghtioss the Duchess of Kent; and, with the assistance of several other ladies, exalted no less in benevo'ence than in rank and station, the sum of M.151. has in a short time flowed in towards this excellent object. BRISTOL PORT CHARGES.—We have seen in a cir- cnlar from one of the most respectable wipe merchants ofour port, the following paragraph. We are glad to > 1 ■ ■ > • i f •> ii j I find that our merchants are becoming alive to some J the causes with which they have to contend in, keep" ing their charges on a level, at least, with their rf* [ ports. Our public bodies will soon alpo in | be compelled to follow this example, and take in manl t instances the minimum rate instead of the maximulo, f which they are authorised to charge.

To Ù E I EDITOR OF THE MERTHYR GUARDIAN. I SIR,—On the evening of the funeral of Mr. ThOf'j Edwards (who perished so suddenly on the Ystr# Hills} 1 was much struck with the following passa#* from Ecclesiastcs, which occurs in the evening le§POO for St., Stephen's day, the day on which that nnfirt*' mate gentleman was buried: Two are better than one; for if they fall the one will lift up liis fellow but woe to him that is alone when & j falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. The following lines of Thomson, describing man perishing in the storm, may be acceptable w i many of your readers r who may not have the boO* f at hand to refer toj As thus the mists arise and foul -«nd fierce, I All winter drives along the darken'd air; On his own far extending killt, the swain t Disaster'd stands; sees other hills ascend, t Of unknown, joyless brow; and other sccnes Of horrid prospect, cloud the trackless plain: I Nor finds the river, npr the Cam conceal'd | Beneath the formless wild, but wanders on i From hill to dale, still more and more astray I Impatient floundering through the deep morass Stung with the thoughts of home the thoughts of hom* | Rush ou his nerves, and call their vigour forth I In many a vain attempt. How sinks his soul! J What black despair, what horror fills his heart! When.forthe dusky spot which fancy feign'd His well known dwelling rising through the fog, 1 He meets the roughness of the middle waste, Far from the track, and blest abode of man; While round him night resistless closes fast. And every tempest howling o'er his head. Renders the savage wilderness more wild. Renders the savage wilderness more wild. i' Then throng the husy shapfS into his mind < Of cover'd pits unfaihomably deep, ) A dire descent! beyond the power of frost. Of faithless bogs of precipices huge— 1 Of the loose marsh or solitary lake, H Where the fresh fountain from the bottom boiJl- t These check his fearful r.teps; and down he sinks Deep in the softness of the slial-clesti peat, i Thinking o'er all the bitterness of death. '*t Mix'd with the tender anguish nature shoots Through th» wrung bosom of the dying man, iff His home, his family, and friends unseen! Alar no more shall he behold Or friends, or sacred home. On every nerve The deadly winter seizes shuts up sense; And,o'er his inmost vitalt creeping cold, Lays him along the peat, a stififen'd corse. Stretch'd out, and bleaching in the northern blast." 1 am, Sir, your sincere servant, « MONTIVAGUS. |
