BRECONSHIRE. PRESENTATION OF A SILVER VASE TO C. M. R. MORGAN, Esq. Shortly after the termination of the late election at Brecon, it was determined by some of the sup- porters of Mr. Morgan, to present that gentleman with a testimonial of the high estimation in which they held his exertions for the independence of that borough, and the many virtues which adorn his cha- racter. Accordingly a subscription was entered into, and the amount subscribed was applied to the pur- chase of a silver vase, which forms a permanent and splendid memorial of the esteem in which the public character and private virtues of that honourable gentleman are held. This vase is chased, standing on a quadrangular, pedestal, and forms a magnificent and capacious goblet, in weight 141b avoirdupoise, and containing three gallons and a half. On one side of it, surmounted by the Tredegar Arms, is the following inscription:—■ PRESENTED To Charles Morgan Robinson Morgan, Esq. by Uq, the one hundred and nine Electors and Burgesses of the Borough of Brecknock, and other friends, whose names are hereupon inscribed, ",who faithful stood." Dec. 12, 1832. (Then follow the names of the subscribers.) On Wednesday last, the vase being then completed, the interesting ceremony of plescnting it to Mr. Morgan took place at the Castle Hotel. About five o'clock, a most respectable company of 130 gentlemen, the subscribers for the purchase of the vase, and eight gentlemen who were visitors on the occasion, sat down to an excellent dinner in the long room. The chair was taken by Lancelot Morgan, Esq. Bailiff of Brecon, supported on his left by C. M. R. Morgan, Esq. and the Venerable the Archdeacon, on his right by John Powell, Esq. The Vice Presidents were Philip Vaughan Esq. and Walter Maybery Esq. Among the 1!1 -1 company present we remarked Major Price, the Rev. Hugh Bold, the Rev. Thomas Vaughan, Henry May- bery, Esq. John Jones, Esq. Edward Jones, Esq. Dr. Wynter, Tfjomas Davies, Esq. of Langattock, &c. The cloth been removed and thanks returned in a very impressive manner by the Venerable the Archdeacon, the healths of the King," the Queen and the Royal Family," and 4the Princess Victoria," were drank with great enthusiasm, after which Major Price rose and said, "Charles ftjoifgan Robinson Morgan, Esq.—Sir, having been called upon by my fellow-townsmen to be the humble medium through which to convey their sentiments to you, I may perhaps be permitted, in the first place, to avow my satisfaction, that I should be found in any degree worthy of such a mar of confidence, independently of the pleasure which I experience in the opportunity thus afforded me of repeating what I have so frequently felt and expressed on former occasions. In the name, Sir, of the hundred and nine electors of Brecon, and of the other independent and respectable individuals who so faithfully stood to their engagements in support of your just pretensions in the contest of December, 1832, I am proud to claim your acceptance of the vase, which they have now the honour of presenting to you, not only as a testimonial of their unshaken attachment, but of their sincere respect for your acknowledged private worth, and for the inflexible and uncompromising adherence to principle, exemplified in the course which you have pursued during the period in which you continued the representative of this Borough in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. I shall only further undertake to add the united wishes of all present—that in undiminished health and prosperity, through a life long protracted, you may continue to enjoy the proud and gratifying reflection of having merited and received, through the rectitude of your conduct, such a splendid record of the good opinion of your countrymen and that it may ever remain in your possession, as an im- perishable memorial to your children and to your children's children, how justly so respectable a body as the men of Brecknock consider that private worth is the only sure foundation of public virtue, and that without this vital ingredient, no confidence can ever be safely reposed in the conduct of public ,nen- I now addr€*» py?elf to the 109, who have so nobly supported their principles through the contest, and call upon them to All brimmer to the health of Charles Morgan Robinson Morgan, Esq. of Ruperra Drank with nine times nine, in immense cheering, and "one cheer more." Mr. Morgan then said, "Gentlemen, I can truly say, that I never addre"e(i any assembly under feelings of embarrassment eqtai to what I now suffer. I fear my words will bo t0 express the sense that I entertain of your kind and pnshaken attachment to me and to my family. Gentlemen, it has always been my endeavour, as long as I have had the honour to represent the borough of Brccon, in Parliament, to merit the good opinion of the inhabitants of the town, and I feel more gratified than lean express that those humble endeavours have been received with the plartiality and kindness that you here evince. T believe that the votes that I have given in Parliament have, in some cases not been in unison with the sentiments of some of the gentlemen whom I see present but I can most sincerely assure you that, in every vote, I have been actuated not by any private motives, not by any desire of promoting my own or any other individual interest, but by a firm and conscientious conviction that the objects for which I voted were for the public good. (Loud and long cheering) Gentlemen, although I was, at the late election, an unsuccessful candidate, I can say that my own taste and the bent and qualifications of my mind would lead me rather to seek the enjoyments of that country in which I first drew breath, and to which all my earliest associations cling, than the arduous career of parliamentary life. But, gentlemen, we are bound to remember that we live in times which, while every thing venerable in morals is assailed with derision, and every thing valuable in our best and most sacred institutions is attacked with crafty and unrelenting hostility, it is not left to ns to repose in the pleasures of self gratification, or to shrink from the stormy difficulties of a public life. (Loud and enthusiastic cheer- ing ) If, it be the sense of the majority of the electors of Brecon, that on any future occasion my sincere, though humble-exertions may bo useful in promoting their interests (Great cheering), I can assure them that the best endeavours that I am capable of making for their welfare, and the welfare of our country, shall be unre- mittingly made. (Loud cheering.) At the same time, gentlemen, should it he their opinion that any other indi- vidual is likely to till that station more to their advantage, most happy shall I be to render to any gentleman who may be honoured by their choice, what very humble assistance, for that purpose, I may be able to afford. In every way, gentlemen, whether as a Member of Parlta. inent or as a private individual, I shall be most happy in using my best exertions to promote the prosperity of the town ami the inhabitants of Brecon. (Loud cheering.) Gentlemen, I return you my most hearty thanks for this favourable proof of your partiality and kindness, and beg leave to drink to your health and prosperity." (Cheers.) The Chairman had now to propose the health of a gentleman whose name he was sure was cherished by every individual who was connected with the town of Brecon, and zealous to promote its welfare. He should propose the father of our respected visitor-Sir Charles Morgan." (Loud cheering.) Mr. Morgan feelingly returned thanks for the honor conferred on his father, and wished that he had been able in person to be present, to witness the marks of respect that had been paid to the house of Tredegar. Ths Chairman then gave the health of" The Re- corder, Hugh Bold, Esq. which was received with loud cheering. J. Powell, Esq. in the absence of the learned gentleman, read a letter from him, expressing his great regret at being prevented by ill health from attending a meeting, the objects of which he felt most zealous to support II, Bold, Jun. Esq. in returning thanks for his father, said that he rejoiced in offering this tribute of respect to their honourable visitor, and that he regarded it not only as a testimony of their esteem for his public and private virtues, but as a bond of uion, in a cause, which the returning sense of all parties is rapidly discovering to be the cause of good sense and honour. Mr. Morgan.—I cannot on this occasion refrain from alluding to a highly disgsaceful paragraph con- tained in the Cambrian newspaper, stating that Mr. Lloyd Watkins had said that Mr. Bold, on his exami- nation before the committee of the House of Commons, had made evasive answers. I do not believe that Mr. Watkins made any such assertion, and I have examined several newspapers in which I find no mention of it. But I have heard that the chairman of that committee did say, that if, all corporations had conducted them- selves as the corporation of Brecon has done, there would have been no necessity for the appointment of the committee. Philip Vaughan, Esq. intimated that steps were being taken to obtain legal redress for the wrong. Toast, The Archdeacon of Brecon." The Rev. Gentleman returned thanks, and proposed The health of the Bailiff of Brecon after which Mr. Morgan rose to propose the health of the gentle- man who had first suggested the idea of presenting him with the handsome vase that now stood on the table. The zeal with which that gentleman had acted on the late occasion, and the firm and persevering adherence to principle which had ever distinguished him, raised to JHqjor Price a strong claim on the respect and at'tacbinent of the supporters of their common cause. He begged to propose The health of Major Price."—Drank with loud applause. The gallant Major begged in the first place to re- turn his sincere thanks for the honour done him, and for the kind and flattering manner in which his health had been received. In expressing what he did, he felt confident that he had expressed the sense of what the meeting felt, and of what he had uniformly dis- covered in the character of Mr. Morg an-ood faith and sincere straightforwardness. He regretted to say that he had read in a speech, certainly of great ability, which had been delivered in the House of Commons, the doctrine which he had heard with indignation and surprise at Brecon, that a man's promises are not to be observed if he afterwards finds that it is against his interest to keep them. This was a doctrine which he condemned as the last violation of every moral obligation, and he trusted that every honest man would condemn it also. The Rev. Archdeacon Davics proposed the health of Colonel Wood, M.P. which was drank with im- mense cheering, and "the health of the Duke of Beaufort, Lord Lieutenant of the County," was re- ceived with similar honors. Mr. Morgan begged to propose the health of a gen- tleman who was not certainly one of the corporation, but to whose great legal talents, and to whose mas- terly eloquence exerted at the late election, he con- fessed he considered his cause deeply indebted. He thought it scarcely necessary to say, that the gentle- man to whom he alluded was John Jones, Esq. (Great cheering, which continued for some time.) Mr. Jones then said, "Mr. Bailiff and gentlemen, I assure you I am perfectly unprepared for the distinguished compliment paid me on this occasion by the hon. gentle- man who has just addressed you. Gentlemen, it will always be matter of pride, to which I shall look back with the most pleasing reflections, that my humble exertions have been used in so good a cause; a cause which has for a time been clouded, as we know; but "coming events cast their shadows before them" (cheering) and recent occurrences furnish us with grounds to hope that that cause will ere long burst forth and shine in its native splendour. In congratulating you, I feel I aid congratulating myself also, that in presenting this splendid tribute to our hon. friend, we are recording our adherence to the best of prin- ciples in the worst of times, while we are looking forward to the period, I hope not far distant, at which those prin- ciples shall be clearly understood and established. But gentlemen let me carry you to a higher sphere I think I perceive a change in higher quarters, when we see, as we do see on a recent occasion, Mr. Hume rejecting his attach- ment to the ministers of the day, and expressing his hope of seeing the man, who, more than all others, supports and adorns the Conservative cause, Sir Robert Peel (loud cheers) borne to his proper station'on the shoulders of the people. That right hon. gentleman we know, was, like many others, on a late occasion, on public grounds opposed to the great measure of Reform. But now that that great measure has passed, he says, it is the law, let us repect it because j* 's so, and concur in aiding to make it of useful effect. In the patriotic career of this right hon. gentleman we have seen no public acts from private motives, no factious opposition springing from party spirit. To his opponents in political life, where he has found them acting rightly, he has given his assistance; where he has seen them acting wrong, he has endeavoured to point out their error. Geatlemen, when I propose to you the health of the right hon. baronet (great chcering) I am sure that in our own locality, anil among the Men of Brecon, that toast will be received with the same zeal and enthusiasm as when it was lately given by the chief magistrate, in the metro- polis."—The healthf of Sir R. Peel was then drank amid loud and lasting cheers. Numerous other toasts were afterwards drank, and appropriately acknowleged, which we much regret that, on account of the space engrossed by the im- portant occurrences in Parliament, we are compelled reluctantly to withhold.

We again respectfully entreat our readers to enter themselves as regular Subscribers, to prevent disappointments com- plained of in the receipts of their papers. We print only the number necessary to the established consumption, and cannot, from circumstances, undertake for one more, unless subscribed for beforehand. There is no Journal in our neighbourhood, we may be allowed to add, that can boast of so steady and constant a progress, or of a more extensive and respectable circulation.

GLAMORGANSHIRE. -CARDIFF.— Circulars have been sent, in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons, to all the gaols and houses of correction in England and Wales, including those unler corporate jurisdictions, for a return, stating the greatest number of persons con- fined in each at one time, in the year ending 1st Jan. 1833 the number of separate light cells in each; the number of additional separate cells to be obtained by the conversion of the large sleeping and day rooms into cells the expense of such alteration the number of additional cells that would be required in order to provide for the separation of the greatest number of persons confined in the said gaol or house of correc- tion in the year ending 1st January, 1833; and the expense of providing such cells by additioqs to the building. STEAM PACKET.—We are happy to learn that the Steamer Nautilus will shortly be placed in this port to ply between Cardiff and Bristol. Such accommo dation has long been wanted for the trade and advan- tages of this part of the country, and we hope that the spirited proprietors of the undertaking will be rewarded with that success which they so amply merit. The Glamorgan and Monmouthshire Horticultural Society held their first meeting, for the year, at the Town Hall, Cardiff, on Wednesday last. The show room was thrown open to visitors at one o'clock, and we never witnessed so truly beautiful and elegant an assortment of flowers. Indeed the collection con- sisted of some of the most rare and choice plants grown in the Principality, and reflected much credit on the fostering care and attention paid by the ladies and gentlemen in the neighbourhood to that most pleasing of all amusements, the cultivation of flowers. The produce of the cottage gardens, in vegetables and flowers, excelled and we trust the rewards held out by the society will be the means of producing the necessary spirit of emulation amongst so useful a branch of the community. The following were the list of prizes awarded FLOWKRS.—Most curious plant in a pot (Iris Susiana), E. P. Richards, Eq.; most beautiful do.

At the same sessions, Elizabeth Morris, widow, was cliarged on the oaths of Posthuma Robinson, wife of David Robinson of this town, and James Matthews, con- stable, with having stolen, on Friday last, four pairs of stockings, from the prison-yard of Swansea, within the liberty of Gower, the property of the said David Robinson, when going to see her daughter, who was confined therein on a charge of felony remanded for further evidence and on other charges.—The follow- ing order was drawn up, agreed to by the magistrates, and directed to be distributed. Ordered, that in future, in all cases, where persons are placed in confinement by the constables or watchmen, the officers apprehending the parties, do immediately report the names of the persons so placed in confinement, and the charges made against them, at the office of our clerk, wllh a view to an investigation of the charges so made, with the least possible delay." =:a- ,N LATII.-IT is intended that the new built and fast- sailing- Steamer, the Nautilus, will siiortly leave this port for Cardiff, where she will be a regular sailer be- tween that port and Bristol. We anticipate great advantages from this extension of the means of inter- course between the Principality and the great city in the West,' and we doubt not that it will prove a profitable speculation to the proprietors. FATAL ACCIDENT—A little ijirl, twelve years of age, met her death on Wednesday at IJanmihangel Mill, near Pyle, from throwing a cord twisted round her body across a strap connected with the machinery. She was literally crushed to piece-i.

ASSISTANT OVERSEER.The election of an as- sistant overseer for this parish took place on Thurs- day. when Mr. John Lewis was elected into that office by a large majority. THE,, LEADING JOURNAL OF EUROPE."—We in- serted, some weeks ago, a paragraph relating to the Iron Trade, which our contemporary, the Cambrian, copied, and with a regard to truth and good faith truly characteristic, omitted to acknowledge. This, in the Cumbrian, wedid not wonder at; but great was our surprise at finding, afterwards, our news (then about ten days old) transfused into that very respect- able print, the Times, and quoted as from the equally respectable authority," Ca,itbi-iatt." BAD NEWS FOR THE TITHING MAN.—We are sorry to liea,* thatthe lambing season in our mountain districts has been unusually bad on most of the hilly farms of Merthyr, Aberdare, Lanwonno, Ystradfodwg, and Riij'os, the loss of lambs has been full two-thirds. The last week of March was bitterly cold with snow— during this lime vat numbers of tambs were abandoned by the ewes, who had no milk for them. April, for the most paj't, has been wet and cold,and has been a more fatal month to the mountain lambs than the oldest farmers remember. May-day was ushered in with cold driving rain and boisterous wind from the south- east. INQUEST.—On Thursday last, an inquest was held at Dowlais, on the body of Thomas Davis, collier, who was killed by the falling in of a roof. It ap- peared, by the evidence of William Phillips, that the deceased was in the habit of remaining at work, in the level, until a late hour, and very frequently by himself. Three witnesses stated that they called to Davis, previous to leaving their work, to "come alongdeceased made answer, that he should stop to make up for some time he lost in the morning they further stated, there is no blame whatever attached to the coal agent, Mr. Williams, who has the collieries well supplied with timber, but unfortunately deceased neglected to prop the part which fell in. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death, with a request that men would not remain in such dangerous places at work, in future alone.

the great annoyance sustained by the inhabitants of the town generally, and especially to the injury suf- fered by invalids, from the practice, among persons who bring cattle to Brecon market, of leaving calves without their mothers in the main street from the hour of four to ten on Friday morning. The incessant roaring of these animals is an evil, for the remedy of which our correspondent suggests to the magistrates^, that either the place of sale be the Captain's Walk," or the owners of the calves be obliged to bring the mothers with them. ESCAPE FROM JAIL-About ten o'clock on Sunday night Mr. Itice, governor of the jail at Brecon, was greatly alarmed at discovering that two prisoners, named Hart and Salt, who had been apprehended at Bristol on suspicion of the robbery at Mr. Lloyd's, watchmaker, and committed to the jail at Brecon, had escaped. 1\11"' nice bW seen the two prisoners in safe custody at seven o'clock, and it was found that since that hour they had made their escape, passing three doors, which had been secured with padlocks, and from which the padlocks had been carried away, and leaving thrown over an inner wall a cord in snch a position that it is difficult to conceive how it could have been instrumental in their escape. An active pursuit is on foot.

His Lordship likewise appointed the Rev. H. Parry, A. M., Vicar of Llanasa, to be Cursal Canon of St. Asaph, vacant by the death of the same reverend gentleman. It is not yet known who will have Cwm, but it is expected that the gentleman who has offi- ciated there for some time will be preferred By this arrangement the Bishop gives to Cwm the advantage of a resident incumbent. Mr. Parry is well known as an ex.. cellent Welsh scholar, and Mr. Jones has discharged the arduous duties of the vicarage of Holywell for 25 years.

FOR THE MERTHYR GUARDIAN. THE REVOLUTIONARY PRESS AND ITS REA DERS. ( No. 3. ) OUR LAWLESS LAWGIVERS, THE POLITICAL UNIONS ( COlltinued from ow last.) Perhaps I may appear diffuse in this long disquisition on popular sovereignty yet I cannot but think it a subject well worthy every man's most serious study, when we find daily great part of the British Press setting up, as a real power and judicature of final: appeal, and referring thereto the most vital questions of a commonwealth this some- thing-this dim, great, and ever agitated human chaos of jarring elements, which they please to name-" The Peo. ple." Of what immense consequence is it to us and our children, and children's children, that we should try to clearly comprehend what is this new power we are to obey, instead of that known in this our fatherland ever since the days of Kin" Edward 1. at least with the exception of one short period, bloody, fanatiqpl, and disastrous What do these writers mean by such expressions as this, The People demand such or such measures t I abhor as utterly as any mock patriot, perhaps move,-all tyranny. J abjure the monstrous doctrine that any man, wear he a diadem or a coronet, possesses any right divine" personally to exercise rule over millions of men. This is no question of preference betwixt the interests of a dynasty and those of a great nation; the People indisputably form the sole object of all legislation the People s good is the all in all to be aimed at but does it follow, as these false friends of the nation pretend, that their will is therefore to be implicitly obeyed ? The sahis Populi," not the Vox -far less the Furor populi, surely is what every wise man would wish to see supreme. Suppose a fine estate inherited by a minor or a maniac-his interest, not that of his trustees would be the sole object of that government it would be necessary to establish over his actions. They would prove themselves most hollow or most erring friends of the incompetent party who should protest in their dear love for him, that he and none else should be his own director, and coerce his guardians instead of their leniently directing him The mass of a nation has in all ages proved itself, and been deemed by all wise men, as scarcely more competent to devise and execute profound and righteous plans for their own good, than such minor or lunatic. Hence the excellence-hence the prcciousness of any form of rule which has succeeded in drawing order and harmony out of such a confused over-jarring body as the mad multitude with all its opposites of sentiment and interest. This wonder, this beautiful miracle, has-been wrought by the English Constitution. It cannot be denied that it has—our enemies, themselves, all acknowledge it. Yet is this tried bulwark, uuder which every man has sate fearlessly and free, as each under his own fig tree, now to be made a mere form-a shadow of its former substance- and all our lives and safeties to be made dependent on the PeOple--in other words-physical force and its mcrcy Our three estates exist indeed in shew, the shape remains; but what is left of its power to protect, while those whom It only exists to coerce into peace and virtue, have risen to coerce it into doing their bidding? (Peaceful and virtuous no doubt will be that bidding!) As much as was left to Pompcy by the legions of his rival; the hollow yet still magnificent looking oak which Lucan made the emblem of fhe once mighty but falling power of that hero, affords no 'napt image of our venerable constitution, sapped and tottering to its fall. The misfortune seems to be, that Eng- lishmen have enjoyed the blessings it conferred so long- have so long truly boasted the Englishman's house is his castle" that they cease to appreciate them. Like ease, or health, or wholesome air, they need deprivation of those every-day blessings to recollect the system which confers them and how much they owe to it. Perhaps the peculiar beauty of the British mixed government, is of too complex and subtile a character of all sorts of minds to duly admire and understand, though all sorts of men are indebted to it every hour. The more flagitious they, who instead of recalling their sense of gratitude and right, set up the idol °f the absolute. People in the stead of the constitution, which they teach them to scorn and undermine A government wherein the King is strong to do good, weak to work evil; the aristocracy great, and salutary in their interposition between the plebeian classes and the prince, yet neither sycophant dependents on the one, nor cruel tyrants over the other, the King having no De¡uod.es or Sejanus at his board, the Peer no villain or serf to pine in will or dungeon, wherein the plebeian class is not over- looked in its composition, but contributes its quota of representatives and enjoys absolutely equal rights of doin and protection with the peer and prince—such a government I say, from its very perfection—from the gentle perpetual calm of its influence, becomes an oOJ" v. indifference to obtuse minds and restless men. contrast of wild and bloody' vicissitudes—some terrible outbreak of the popular-some insufferable grinding excess of the monarchical power, can alone force on such charac- ters a sense of the exquisite blessing of a well-balanced, strong, yet mild system of government. We, whose fathers, and their fathers' fathers, have known peace only jn our time and in those former times, are apt to consider a state of peace the state of nature, because we have expe- rienced no other. But as much wisdom to project, as much exertion to produce, as much activity to perpetuate, peace and its blessings in a great kingdom is required, as to prosecute a war of the most stupendous extent, which instead of blessing even the triumphant party, entails on it ultimately most of the evils it inflicts. Force and tumult belong to war, and may give to those who wield its accursed agency, an imposing grandeur, of effect, with lml weak minds; but the labour of the legislator or the execu- tive are silently progressing to the consummation of peace as surely as those of the warrior or the war cabal to the frightful and mournful issue of theirs, with all that tumult and homicidal struggle. Let every thinking man reflect on the different states of a nation the seat of war, and of one in the state of peace, (in which security of life and limb, great as is that blessing, is but one and not the greatest we enjoy under it) and his mind will warm into enthusiasm toward the system that has maintained that state during one hundred and eighty years'. A system of repose maintained by incessent vigilance of legislation directed by rules of ancient wisdom A poetical imagination would not run riot wholly, should it compare the working of this fine machine of olfrconstitution to this beautiful end, peace and safety to millions, with the sublime system of the universe itself, with its most ancient of laws, and their harmony from the first of time. As our planet holds its way eternally through space, we know that we all are flying also round the solar centre yet this violent, cease- less agitation is, to our perceptions, a rest and a profound calm.. Were it not too bold—not impious—to compare the mortal to the Almighty mind, we might almost liken this eternal harmony amidst such discordant elements as compose a people, and those minds, past and present, which produce it, to that sublimer kind which reigns among the never resting spheres, and that mind of the universe which ordained and ordains it, yet secretes, as it were, its Almightiness in profound peace and order and silence! Descending from our altitudes, we may add that a vulgar mind will wonder at and admire any common vehicle and its driver, which transports the giddy being several miles an hour-meanwhile he is travelling several thousands, without even a thought of that more wonderful journey or its impelling power. And the ranting, restless radical, in like manner, stares in stupid wonder, or shouts at the. 1, bidding of some orator and constitution monger; mean- while he lives and breathes and has his being from the finest system of protecting law in the world, and thinks of it but to rail against it, or never thinks at all.

BLACK EYES AND BLU E. Black eyes most dazzle at a ball; Blue eyes most please at evening fall. Black a conquest soonest gain The blue a conquest most retain The black bespeak a lively heart, Whose soft emotions soon depart; The blue a steadier flame betray, That burns and lives beyond a day. The black my features best disclose In blue my feelings all repose. Then let each reign without controul The black all mind, the blue all soul. LINES ON MIDNIGHT. How sweet is this hour, when the dark night has hung The magnificent veil of her glory on high, And around her those diamonds of beauty has flung, The dews of the earth and the stars of the sky. How sweet is this hour to the soul, which, opprest, Still must smiling and calm in the day time appear; But at this lonely moment, when all are at rest, May pour forth its grief in an agonized tear. Oh trust not those glances, which sparkle most bright In scenes where the thoughtless and worldly are nigh; The sorrow that's deepest will shrink from the sight, And wither the heart while it dims not the eye. Grief shuns the cold pity the world would bestow, And fain would in darkness its misery hide Then blest be this hour, which its shadow can throw O'er cheeks that are glowing with anguish and pride. Yes! dear art thou, night, when thy beauty and rest Can steal o'er a bosom so troubled as mine Yet, oh there's a silence more hallow'd and blest, A slumber more deep and more welcome than thine;— Where the sound of these rustling night-flowers will cease As the winds o'er the lattice their fair blossoms wave, Where the throb of this heart will be husli'd into peace, And all be as silent and calm as the grave THE DRUNKARD. Who leave-, at noon his restless bed, With juicelees throat and nervous tread.. While piercing pains oppress his head 1 The Drunkard. Who, to resist the conscious pang, Rejects his home, rejoins his gang, To plunge care in the poisonous can? The Drunkard. Who dooms his children and his wife To lead the beggar's wretcfied life ? Who makes his home the scene of strife ? The Drunkard. With money spent and credit fled. Who on the highway hangs his head ? Who always has the bailiff's dread? The Drunkard. Ah soon thy soul shall cease to brave Such shock: then sinks into the grave An uuregretted, self-made slave— The Drunkard. Dowlais, April 29, 1833. H. M-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GUARDIAN. SIR ,-In these days, when a disposition to cavil at every thing like an established order of things unfortunately so widely prevails, you will not be surprised to hear, that the Press teems with attacks upon the Church. I am called to this remark by a pamphlet, published last week at Cardiff; a pamphlet so indecent in its attack not only on the Church of England, but on religion in general; so full of the grossest errors, and betraying such ignorance of that language in which the New Testament was written, (the knowledge of which alone can enable a man tojudge of the accuracy or inaccuracy of the translation,) as it never fell to my lot to read. In it also the most unfair conclusions are deduced, from detached passages of various writers with- out any comparison with the context: and the learned author may be assured that notwithstanding his apparent accuracy in his quotations, and his pages 219, 220, &c. &c. his views are too apparent, and the cloven foot too dis- tinctly displayed, to mislead any one real friend of social or religious order. I cannot withhold my indignation, when I read in the very title page, the words our present dishonest version of the New Testament:" to tho gentle- man, who uses the words quoted, it may appear dishonest, for it strikes at the very root of his peculiar teuets: and is totally unfavourable to his views of subversion, both civil ecclesiastical; but to those whose views are consistent with the great atonement made for sin by the Son of God, there never has appeared anything in the slightest degree bordering on dishonesty; and those who have the happiness of being able to compare the translation with the original, have in all ages borne testimony to its faithfulness, and strict adherence, (as far as the idioms ofdifferent languages will allow) to the original. To answer page by page this abortive attempt (which may without difficulty be done) would render the pamphlet of more importance than it deserves, or ever will of itself attain; and the learned author may be assured, that a bank note signed Wm. Towgood, will be current, long after the pamphlet has been consigned to the fatQ of tyiost works of the kind, a fate which alone it merits, of being the means of conveying certain small portions of grocery to the habitations of those purchasing such necessary articles. I remain, Sir, your obedient Servant, A. B.

SCRIPTURE ILLUSTRATIONS. No 2.—PSALM cxix. 32. I will run the way of God's commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart. It is good to be in the way of God's commandments, even at the slowest motions. Love will creep where it cannot go. But if thou art so indeed, then wilt thou long for a swifter motion. If thou do but creep, be doing, creep on, yet desire to be enabled to go. If thou goest, but yet halting and lamely, desire to be strengthened to walk straight; and if thou walkest, let that not satisfy thee, desire to run. So here David did walk in this way, but he earnestly wishes to mend his pace; he would willingly run, and for that end desires an enlarged heart. Some dispute and descant too much whether they go or not, and childishly tell their steps, and would know at every pace whether they advance or not, and how much they advance, and thus amuse themselujs and spend the time of doing and going in questioninf^ml doubting. Thus it is with many Christians. But it were a more wise and comfortable way to be endeavouring onward, and if thou make little progress, at least to be desiring to make more to be praying and walking, and praying that thou mayest walk faster, and that in the end thou mayest run: not to be satisfied with any thing attained; but yet, by that un- satisfiedness, not to be so dejected as to sit down or stand still, but rather excited to go on. So it was with St. Paul; Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press forward Some are retarded by looking on what is past, as not. satisfied they have done nothing, as they think, and so stand still discontented. But even in that way it is not good to look too much on things behind, we must forget them rather and press onward. Some, if they have gone on well and possibly ran for awhile, yet if they fall then they are ready to lie.still and and think all is lost, and in this peevish fretting at their falls, some men please themselves and take it for repent. ance, whereas it is not that, but rather pride and humour. The humble Christian is better taught! His falls teach him, indeed, to abhor himself; they discover his own weakness to him, and empty him of self-trust: but they do not dis- may him from getting up and going on.-Lr- IGHTON.

RETURN OF THE BIRDS. Numerous species of birds at the beginning of winter emigrate to other countries; some in search of a milder climate, and others to find secure retreats and warm shelter in caves, holes, and retired places. These birds return to us when the gentle mildness of the spring advances; it soon awakens the swallows, and a secret instinct brings back the others, which had traversed the seas to far-distaat countries in search of that subsistence and temperature which their nature required. Their return is generally in such an order, that those which went away the latest are the first which come back. The air will soon become rcpeopled with its feathered songsters; the nightingale will again rejoice the groves with his melody, the twittering swallow resume her former nest, and the stork again inhabit the retreat she left at the beginning of winter. In a few weeks the skies will once more be gladdened with the joyful songs of the returning choristers, and the valleys will resound with their swelling notes. Two circumstances in the emigration of birds particularly claim our attention they know exactly the time when to return, and the direction they are to take. The stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed time; aad the turtle, and the crane, and the swallow, observe the time of their coming." No doubt the temperature of the air and the natural propensity of creatures to produce and rear up their young, are powerful motives to influence them to a change of abode. But besides these, there is a very singu- lar, and in some respects inexplicable, instinct, which prompts them to it. How astonishing that these timid animals, deprived of reason, should know exactly what direction to take and how far to go Without compass to steer and guide to direct, without provisions, they undertake and finish, in the most regular order, a voyage which is sometimes many hundred mlls Ill. extent! Who marks out to them their track through the devious air ? Who informs them of the length of way they have passed, and of that they have yet to accomplish ? And who is it that guides their flight, and supplies them with every necessary during the voyage? Which ever way we con- sider these facts, we must discover and acknowledge the manifestation of a power superior to mere animal instinct; we must confess the influence of God, and own the effects of his Almighty power. It is to him the birds are indebted for that instinct they biindly obey He pointeth out to them the country and the very trees and shelter where they may dwell in security, and He, who hearkeneth to the feeble birds, will never forsake his children, nor suffer the deserving to perish.
