G LAM ORG A NSHIR E. 4 THE PLYMOUTH INSTATES. — We 1Inders!an(] t'.iat in tlie disposition of the Rst;itcs if the late Earl of Plymouth, Ih. Hon Robert Clive, M. P son of the lvirl of is comes into the possession of 29,0001. a year, in wbieh are included the whole of the Glamor- ganshire estates. The honourable gentleman's resi- dence at present is in the neighbourhood of Bishop's Castle; but we hate great pleasure in learning that it is his intention to reside a part of the year at St- I-avail's fas le, near C-irditf. We are hitp^y to hear that the honourable gentleman has a son and several daughters; but, in the possible contingency of their leaving no issue, the estates arc to devolve on Lord Viscount Bolmesdale. uterine brother to the deceased Earl. The late E.ii-I. not having anticipated that he huulcl besurviveo by his uncle, the present Earl, had entirely omitted to make suitable provision in his will; so that the present Earl succeeds to the title without an acre of the family estates The highly honourable character of Mr. Clive, distinguished as it is for nuoie<ous benevolent and amiable qualities, cannot tail to render his succession to the Glamorgan- shire estates, and his consequent residence in the county, a most gratifying event. Ei.sTKDDFOD.—Mr. Parry, of musical celebrity* we understand, is now at Cardiff, arranging prelimi- naries for the approaching Eisteddfod. It is rumoured that the Rev. Bruce Knight, and the Rev. Daniel Evans, known by the bardic name of Daniel Ddu, are to be two of the judges. NEATH BAZAAR.—This charitable institution was opened at the Town-hull on the 23d instant, and displayed, by means of different stalls, superintended by females, various specimens of paintings, drawings, and other articles of science, chiefly the production of ladies, influenced by a desire to forward the laud- able objects of the charity. To enumerate the ele gance, ingenuity, and number of specimens exhibited on this interesting occasion, would be too tedious, and next to impossible sortice it to say, that they were of that attractive description as to draw from the willing pocket the large sum of 80l. for the benefit of the fund. ST. MARY HIM-—At this fair on Monday last there was a strong muster of dealers, and generally a very fair shew of stock; yet the sales were slow, and by no means satisfactory. There was a brisk de. mand for inferior horses, but the prices were low and in the cattle department, in consequence of the scarcity of pasture food, the sales were extremely flat and prices depressing. A number of the light-fingered gentry were present, and it is supposed that a fight between a tinker and a sweep was got up by some of those amiables to cause a crowd; one indiscreet gentleman getting into the melee was eased of his watch worth 18 guineas. WANTON Canary.—ON Sunday morning last, two servant-men, in the employ of Mrs. Williams, who holds a farm at Ely, near Cardiff, worried and drove with dogs a valuable Alderney cow, the pro- perty of Dr. Hopkins, of Llandaff, and forced the poor nimal over a very high bank into the river Ely, where the animal was instantly suffocated. Those abetting and encouraging ruffians in such brutal and barbarons treatment to dumb animals are just objects of the severity of the law. Another animal "óulù have suffered the same fate, if it had not been prevented by some persons coming up when the dogs were in the act of worrying it. BURGLARY.—On the night of the 22d of this mouth a house belonging to a labouring man at Llan- blethian was forcibly entered while the man and wife were asleep upstairs. The thieves succeeded in getting in at the window of the lower room, and, undisturbed, rifled a chest of drawers, from which they took five sovereigns, six silver tea spoons, marked M. D., two silk hankerchiefs, a silk shawl, and a gold ring. The five sovereigns had that day been received by the woman for washing, and had been reserved to pay the rent of their cottage. Uufortunately the thief or thieves remain still undiscovered ROBBING GARDENS —Two boys, named Thomas Morgan and Thomas Davies, were convicted on Tues day last of robbing the garden of Mr. Rhodes, at Aberdare, of fruit. These delinquents climbed the trees on Sunday last, about three o'clock in the after- noon, and handed over the fruit to other boys who were waiting on the other side ofthdfrvall. The pri- souer Morgan said in his defence tha»it was generally understood that Mr. Rhodes, the owner, had aban- doned" the garden; and that gentleman remarked that certainly such were the depredations committed upon himself and his neighbours in that respect, that he had for years considered that he might as well abandon the cultivation of his garden Th worthy magistrate, J. B. Bruce, Esq. read aloud the act rela- tive to the offence, which affixes a penalty not exceed- ing six months imprisonment, or 291. fine, and said that for the protection of the public against this in- creasing nuisance, the magistrates would in future carry the law into full effect. In the present case he trusted the ends of justice ufould be answered by im- posing a fine of half a crown and costs; in default of payment of which the two offenders were committed for a month, 41 CAUTION CO THE PUBLIC. swindler, de- scribing himself as John Davies, timber merchant of Nantgarw, met a poor farmer of the name of William Edwards, residing at Cwmbach, Aberdare. and stated that he haid received tt considerable sum of money for timber, and begged to leave a cheque and a ^antity of sovereigns at the pop*- man's house for safety. While there for this purpose, he watched tl*p temporary absense of the people, and stole a watch and six silver spoons. The sovereigns were gilt medals of William IV, of about the va'ue of one penny per dozen. The same man has been practising various frauds both at Virthyr and Hirwain, and from measures no.v taken there is a great probability of the villain's apprehension. DREADFUL ACCIDEN-r.-On Saturday last a sudden explosion offoulair took place in one of the Pen- trebach pits, by which three youths, named John, David, and Nathaniel Lovatt, the sons of John Lovatt, collier of Plymouth Iron Works, were burnt in a dread- ful manner. The youngest son, a boy only seven years of age lost one finger frorw each hand; and one of the mutilated fingers was shewn by the father of the unfortunate youths when he applied at the^Justice ^to^fcto establish their parochial settlements. ESCAPE FROM PRISON.—On Monday night the 26th inst. Richard and Robert Harwood, smiths work- ing at Dowlais Works, made their escape from the lock-up-house by breaking a hole in the wall. The prisoners were confined on a charge of stealing files, the property of the Dowlais Iron Company. fichard, one of the brothers had been only the last week ap- preheuded in the lodgings of Samuel Morris tinman, on suspicion of breaking into the hfcse of Mr. Darker, and committing the burglary iroticed in our paper of the loih inst. but an alibi was then proved on the oath of the woman where he lodged. They are natives of Porlock in Somersetshire, and had been working for some time at Dowlais. The very insecure station for lodging prisoners has long been a reflection (considering the very large proportion which Merthyr conlributts to the county rates,) as much upon the county at large as upon the inhabitants of the place. We have had occasion before to notice this subject, and we sincerely hope that steps will be taken forth- witboto remedy so crying an evil. DREADFUL ACCIDENTS AT HIRWAIN IRON WORKS.- On the 13th inst. a miner, at Hirwain, named "Thomas Davis, a native of Rumney, Brecon- shire, was pushing an empty tram into the carriage of a balance pit, when he unfortunately missed the track in which he intended to go, and was precipitated, with his tram, to the bottom of the pit, a depth of 46 yards. When the body of the unfortunate man was discovered, his head was completely smashed to pieces and on the following day a piece of his skull, about the size of the palm of a man's hand, was found on the spot. He has left a widow and three children to mourn over their loss. NEGLECT OF GUNPOWDER.—On Wednesday week the wife of William Hugh, a collier, at Hirwain, went out, leaving in the house two children of the age3 of five and six and there were six pounds of mining powder on the table. In consequence, it is supposed, of the children throwing some of this powder into the fire for amusement, in about two minutes after she left the bouse, the powder ex- ploded, blowing off the roofs of that and the adjoining house, and- leaving the rest of the building a perfect wreck. The two children were immediately picked out of the ruins and attended by Mr. Forrest, Surgeon of Hirwain, from whom they received the most humane and careful attention but we regret to state that one of them survived its sufferings only a few hours, and the other it is feared will not recover. DEATH BY I1 IRK.—On Tuesday last a littU- child belonging to John Richards, shoe-maker, living opposite the Castle Inn, during the absence of its mother, went to a tabic where there was a lighted candle, in playing with which the poor little child set fire to its clothes, and was so dreadfully burnt that it survived but a short time. DRRADI-TL ACCIDENT.—On Monday last, an infant, 15 months old, the son of Win. Gay, miner, at Pontmorlals, crawled out of the house in the moment- ary absence of his mother, when a tram heavily laden came up, and passed over both his legs! Mr. Russell, surgeon, immediately rendered his able assistance on the occasion, but found it necessary to amputate both the limbs; and even during the pain of this opera- tion, the poor little innocent derived rcliefby imbibing nourishment from the breast of a woman who was present It is but justice to the driver of the tram to state, that a few moments before the painful oc- currence he had called to the child, who was then sitting near the road side, and out of danger, not to move; but the poor little infant went forward to the tram as it came up.
