GLAMORGANSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. The Michaelmas Sessions for the County commenced on Tuesday last, at the Town Hall, at Swansea, be- fore the following highly respectable Magistrates. JOHN NICHOLL, E«.q. D. C. L. M. P. Chairman. L. W. Dillwvn, Esq. M. P. I. I. Guest, Ksq. M. P. 1. H Vivian, Esq. M. P. I. D. Berrington. i B. Jones, Clerk. B. Bruce. i r. Lev-hon. Col. Cameron. II 1.

Hickey, R. N. Capt. Warde, K. N. C. R. Jones. Win, Williams. At these Sessions, Wm. Chambers, of Llarielly, Esq -qualified as a Magistrate for the County of Glamor- gan Thomas Stephen Todd, Esq as Comptrolh-r of the Customs, at Swansea; and Pollard Jones, gent, as Portreeve of Aberavon. The Learned Chairman, in a concise address to the Grand Jury, remarked that there was.only one case on which it was necessary for him to make any obser- vation. It was that of a female under a charge which might involve a felony. The prisoner had been left in charge of a house and had pawned some of the goods entrusted to her care. The question for the Jury to consider was whether, iu so doing, she had acted with a felonious intent, to apply the proceeds to her own purposes, or whether to apply them to some temporary purpose, and afterwards to redeem them. It the Jury were of opinion that the former was the case, they would find a true bill if, on the other hand they believed that she intended to restore the goods, there could be no true bill, for there was no evidence of a felonious intent. The other cases were very simple ones of no very aggravated colour, and the lightness of the calendar he ascribed to the great improvement in the staple manufacture of the county which afforded employment to the labouring" classes. The appeal in which the parish of Langonoyd were appellants, and the hamlet of Clas, I-espondeii, "I hav- ing been referred to Messrs. D. Powell and W. Llew- elyn, was decided in favour of the respondents. The a;»pej, eils and Liaiielly-Order of removal reversed by con scut. The Magistrates then proceeded to the Grand Jury room to transact the County business. We observed in the room several gentlemen who were not magis- trates. The Rev. J. M. Traherne and J- M. Richards, Esq were appointed two of the visiting Magistrates of the Gaol and the House of Correction at Cardirt. The Chairman called the attention of the Magis- trates to the 2 and 3 of William IV. cap. 40. as to the removal of Irish and Scotch vagrants, who are not, under the present Act, to be removed from parish to parish, but direct from the purish where they may become burlhensome to the nearest port, (the ex- pence to be repaid by the County,) where (their re- ception not being now imperative on masters of vessels) the Chairman strongly advised some arrangement to be made as to the fair rate of passage. L. W. Dillwyn, Esq. (VI. P. gave notice that he should make a motion at the Epiphany Sessions that the Clerk of the Peace should be instructed to give circular notice to the Overseers to explain to them their duties uuder the Reform Act. Ordered, on the motion of the same Magistrate, (in the absence of the Rev. J. M. Traherne,) that no sum exceeding 10Z. be laid out by the visitiug Magistrates of the prisons at Cardiff and Swansea, unless in com- pliance with a previous order of Sessions. Also, for the uumber of persons committed ta the prisons at Cardiff from Michaelmas, 1829, to Michaelmas, 1833. J. 11. Vivian, Esq. M. P. proposed that the same return should be made from the House of Correction at Swansea, which was ordered. The Chairman stated that he should make a motion at the ensuing Sessions on the state of the Records of the County and also upon the Salaries to Inspectors of Weights and Measures. J. J. Guest, Esq. M. P. gave notice that he should move at the ensuing Quarter Sessions that the County business be transacted henceforward in the body of the Court, where the ordinary and usual business of the Sessions vas transacted. A County Rate of five fartfiings in the pound (amounting to 1685/. or thereabouts) was ordered. Mary Walls, MerthyrTydfil, hawker, forfeited her recognizances, not appearing when called. Churchwardens of Llandilo Fawr, appellants, parish of Gellygare, respondents, toutlung the removal of Sarah Lewis, wife of William Lewis, and her children. Mr. Meyrick appeared for the appellant, Mr. E. P. Richards for the respondent. Mr. Richards called William Lewis, who deposed that he served William Edwards, a farmer, at Talley for a year and a day, upon an agreement made for him by his grand- father when he was between 14 and 15 years old j he had forgotten at what wages. Examined by Mr. Meyrick.—Knows John Parry, was in his service part of two years, but not one year at a time. The first service was on a hiring from Lansawel fair to All-hallow-tide, (ilbout I I months): thet-econd service was on a hiring for a year, of which about nine months were served. This witness made a rather obscure statement of having received leave from his master to go home at the expiration of his first service also the agreement for the second service had been made when he so went home. Re-examined by Mr. Richards.—The first hiring was to cease at All-hallow-tide, When he went home to hUGrandr'ather, was under agreement for the second hiring for a year. Made no bargain with his master as to the visit to his grandfather it was allowed him because II it was the fasliiou.Order Quashed. Hamlet of Lantwit Lower appellants, Church- wardens of Neath respondents, touching the re- inoval of Elizabeth Hussey, widow ofThoroas Hussey, and tier children. Mr. Griffiths for the appellants, Mr. Meyrick forthe re.-pondents. Mr. Meyrick called Catherine Hussey. This-witr ne-s deposed that Thomas Hussey, husband of Elizabeth Hussey, was her son, and had been ap- prenticed when he was 17 years of age to Morgan Gibbon, mason, in the appellant parish. She had not seen the indentures tiil after the expiration of his apprenticeship, when they were placed in certain drawers a great flood had come some years ago aid burst open a side ofthe house and carried away the drawers and the indentures. Her husband and Morgan Gibbon were dead, and her son had died six months ago. He was then 42 years old. Could not read, but always understood that her son had been apprenticed to Morgan Gibbon. What she took to be the indenture was sealed with one seal at the corner. Had seed it with her two eye-, herself, before the flood." Never saw it after the flood carried away drawers and all. It came in like a sea. The circumstance of John Hussey having worked for Morgan Gibbon was confirmed by several wit- nesses, who all understood that be was an apprentice. Gibbon took pains in teaching him the trade, which he did not do with other labourers also the youth received wages, which increased as he became more skilful. None of these witnesses ever saw the in- dentures. It was also shewn that the husband of the pauper was once imprisoned, ]3 years ago, for poach- ing, on which occasion the pauper applied before the Magistrates (whether she then proved her settlement was not shewn) and obtained an order for relief from the parish of Lantwit, on which she received, she said, six shillings, but the parish books state only two shillings. The pauper stated that she produced the indentures at the vestry and there proved her parish. To l'et this, Mr. Griffith, for the appellants, pro- duced theoverseer of that parish, who stated that the two shillings were paid only on the order of the Magistrates, as a temporary relief till the parish of the pauper could be discovered. Several other parish. -ners proved that they attended the vetti-y meeting, and never saw the pauper with any indeuture. Mr. Meyrick, in cross-examining these witnesses, excited great amusement by connecting their memory of an occurrence 13 years ago with the place of their meet- ings at Touna, where he said, to his knowledge, there was excellent cwrw da. i\1 r. Griffith, for the appellants, contended that there ,was no tolerable proof even by parole of the existence of any indenture an indenture was a deed indented and what the witness who said she saw the indenture described, was a deed poll. Who was the attorney who drew up the indenture? That gentleman could have been called upon to produce the counterpart. Also the expense of drawing up this indenture must have been a sum which would have made sonkp yn- pression on the memory of that witness. It was most clearly proved shat the payment by the Overseer was not a recognition of her claim in that parish and it was equally proved that she had never established such claim by the exhibition of the indentures. Mr. Meyrick, for the respondent, in a powerful address, contended that the strongest evidence that could be afforded in the circumstances of the parties of the existence of a deed executed twenty-five years ago had been here produced The witnesses who must have seen that deed were now not in being, but numbers of respectable men had testified to facts which could only have happened in consequence of such a deed. The witnesses from the Vestry of Lant- wit were men whom he jutly respected, but it was for their Worships to consider that they were called upon to remember an event which occurred 13 years ago, and tor remembering which they would saddle their parish with the whole maintenance of a widow and her family. His case stood on the strongest grounds with respect to the indentures, and he ear- nestly appealed to the Bench not to deprive him of of the great right which he thus possessed, because the witnesses from the appellant parish failed to re- member. After a short consultation the order was quashed. These were the only two appeals tried-a great improvement upon the year 1817, in which year no less than 36 appeals were tried at the Neath Quarter Sessions. True bills were found against Thomas Edwards, Catherine Williams, Thomas Johnsou, David Bradley, (two bills), all for felony Mary Llewellyn and Thos. Thomas, for assault. Bills ignored against Rees Howell and Aun Rees, William Thomas, Joseph Morgan, SylvauusPrice, and David Rees. Catherine Williams, aged 18, was indicted for steal- ing a silver watch, chain, and seals, from the person at Thomas Griffiths. The case was conducted by E. P. Richards, Esq. It was clearly proved on the oath of the prosecutor that prisoner committed the robbery, and that when she was charged with it her confede- rate, William Evans, struck at him three times.— Guilty. Sentenced to one year's hard labour in the House of Correction at Cardiff, the last week of each month in solitary confinement. Watkin Edwards was convicted of stealing a waist- coat and other wearing apparel, the property of David Thomas, of Cardiff. Mr. Richards conducted the prosecution. About five weeks ago, prosecutor was with his barge on the canal, when Edwards asked leave to sleep in his boat. Watkins allowed him to do so, and shortly afterwards left the boat, and re- turned in a few hours. He then found that Edwards had decamped, and that the things named in the in- dictment had decamped also. He saw prisoner about a mouth after uear the Sea Lock with the stolen jacket on his back, and saluted him with Holloa old chap, how be ye." Prisoner made no reply, upon which prosecutor laid hold of the jacket, and said this is my jacket." Prisoner denied that it was, and drew a knife, threatening to stick the prosecutor. Other persons came up, and prisoner threw off the jacket, which was taken up by a constable, and identified by the prosecutor. Guilty. Sentenced to six months' hard labour, of the last two mouths alternate weeks solitary confinement. Thomas Edwards, for stealing a sack of horse hair, some rope, &c. the property of Wm. Morgan, was sentenced to three months' hard labour, Wm. Johnson, charged with stealing a waistcoat, trowsers, &c. at Lanfoban, the property of Thomas Rees, was acquitted it appeared doubtful whether the prisoner was of sound miud. Rachel Lewis was convicted of stealing a watch, chain, &c. from the person of Wm. Watkins, in the parish of St. Brides Major, on the.20th of September. Prosecutor was at the races, where he saw a crowd, and a mau had been severely beaten. He assisted the poor man by tying histieck-cloth, &c. and while he was so doing, the prisoner came and attempted to pick first the right pocket then the left, and ultimately came in front of him aad stole the watch. He de- sired her to return his watch, to which she made no answer, but went away iu the^diiection of Ewenny, in company with eight men. Prosecutor waB afraid, theu, to say anything more, hut followed them, and afterwards, when some persons came up, he charged her with the theft. She ran away but was pursued and overtaketi.-Guilty. The Court, after some time, passed a sentence of seven years' transportation, which excited loud expressions of grief from the prisoner. Richard Lloyd, late of Swansea, was convicted of stealing a water-bucket, the property of Benjamin James—One month hard labour in the House of Cor- rection. Mary Smith wai charged with unlawfully pawning a quilt, some spoous, blankets and other articles, the property of Miss Mary Popkin, who had entrusted to her the charge of her house, in. which the articles were left. This case excited extraordinary interest, and the court was crowded to excess the facts were as foHows ;-In the month of May, last year, Miss Popkin met Mary Smith on the sands, and entered into conversation with her. The prisoner said she was in great poverty, and spoke of the difficulty of raising Is- Per week to pay her lodging. Miss Popkin gave her some needle work to do, and shortly afterwards, having occasion to leave Swansea, she en- quired the character of the prisoner, of which she heard a favourable account, and left her in charge of her house and all the contents of it during her ab- sence. At the same time, she left with her between 21. and 31. ill money. Miss Popkin apparently con- sidered that she was doing a service to the prisoner in saving her the expense of rent. Mary Smith supposed that Miss Popkin's absence would be only of a few weeks duration. The lady, however, was about fifteen months, during which, Mary Smith several times wrote to her stating her great dis- tress for want of money, and begging Miss Popkin to send her some. Miss Popkin wrote to Mary Smith desiring' her to remain in the house, to keep the fur- niture, &c. in order, and to shew the house to whoever might apply* all it was to be let. Tfye prisoner, who had been formerly in better circumstances, after severe suffering from want, requested a woman named Elizabeth Eynon to pawn, at different times, several articles belonging to Miss Popkin, on which about 10s. were proved to have been raised. Elizabeth Eynon deposed that from her knowledge of the former circumstances of the prisoner, she con- ceived it probable that the articles pledged were her °*Several articles were missing, the fate of which was not proved on the trial. On Miss Popkin's return to her house, prisoner was at the door and refused to open it, until she had advice from her Attorney whom she had directed to proceed against Miss Popkin for a sum as wages Upon this the lady sent for a lock- smith, who forced open the door. Miss Popkin and the prisoner then went into the drawing-room, where the prisoner stated,besides other things not relating to the trial, that from her necessity she had pawned some of Miss Popkin's goods, which she meant to replace, andwou!d do so by eleven oclok the following day .This however the did not do, and subseqnently Miss Popkin caused her to he committed. The principal question for the Jury was, whether the prisoner had committed these acts of pawning with the intent of replacing the goods or with the intent of entirely appropiiating the money It was proved that there had been for several months of the time a check for about 31. be- longing to Miss Popkin under her care, which she had honestly left untouched, and given up by Miss Popkin's order to Captain Hickey. The prisoner also on her defence alleged, and appealed to the pawn- broker, who was a witness, that some of the articles had been nled»-ed by her and redeemed several times. She a'so stated that she could not believe that Miss Papkin would not make her some remuneration for her services during the fifteen months} and that from this remuneration »he intended to redeem the articles pledged. Several respectable witnesses, among whom were the Rev. Dr. Hewson, Captain Hickey, R.N. and John Grove, Esq. Magistrates, spoke favourably of the prisoner's character previous to the time of these tran- sactions The last-mentioned gentleman stated that he had doubts and that Mr. Bird, Surgeon, entertained the same doubts, whether the prisoner was ofcoul- pletely sound mind. t f The unfortunate woman delivered her defence evi- dently under strong excitement. It consisted of a detail, at great length, of the bodily Rullenngs that she had undergone from want, and of the mental suf- fering that she had endured, before she could bring herself to act as she had done. The learned Chairman, previous to summing up, tated that by the law of the case, the gravamen of the charge of felony consisted in the intent, and it was necessary, before they could pronounce the prisoner guilty, that they should be convinced tha she tended to appropriate the money absolutely to he, own use. (The observations of the learned Chairman to this ettect were greeted with loud applause, which was not easily suppressed He also pointed out that fur the ottt nee of pawning, eveu with the intent ot restoi ing ihe goods pawned, the^law assigned a pro- per punishment, on summary conviction before a Magistrate. The jury returned a verdict Not Guilty.-— Richards conducted the case for the prosecution and Mr Hopkinsou for the prisoner. David Bradley, who had pleaded guilty to two charges of larceny was sentenced, as he had been be. fore convicted at Cardiff, to two terms of imprisonment, of each six months: at the end of each month of the first term to be three times publicly whipped: the second term to be kept to hard labour, and of the last month, the alternate week,; to be in solitary confine- ment. The prisoner, a mere youth, exclaimed with a loud voice, "That.k you, my lord." Dinah f'Jiis, who pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing shoes from an open shop, this being a second offence, was sentenced to four calendar months' hard labour in the House of Correction. Mary Llewellyn, for an assault, pleaded guilty. Mr. Lewis, Bridgend, for the prosecutiou, regretted, to be under the necessity of adducing evidence to shew the aggravated nature of the asssault. The evidence, which was cross-examined by Mr. Griffith, shewed that the prisoner, on receiving sudden information that the boy whom she assaulted (a boy 14 years of age) was beating her only son, a boy six years of a,, e-, rushed out with the poker, which she was then using, in uei iiatiu, ana in her passion beat him with it, (KlU that the boy had been seriously injured since that tune. In mitigation it appeared that some boys, throwing clay at each other, had accidentally thrown some in the face of the prisoner's child, who was so discolour- ed by the mark of the clay on his face, that her feel- ings at the moment were highly excited. The Court, allowing on the one hand for the feeling of the mother and the good character of her husband, -and on the other hand considering the serious injury that she had inflicted in her passion, sentenced her to four months' hard labour. William Thomas, William Thomas, and Joseph Morgan, were discharged by proclamation. We were much pleased at seeing four out of our five County Members attendiug so industriousty to the business of the County. The other, (C. R. M. Talbot, Esq.) is enjoying the truly British amusement of cruising in his beautiful yacht, the Galatea, on the coast of Spain, and in the Bay of Naples; a relaxation to which every member of Parliament, who attends to the laborious duties of his station, is amply ciltitled. He is accompanied by the Hun. John Strangways, the Hon. John Edwardes (second son of Lord Kensington,) Raleigh Mansel, Esq. of Heathfieid, and the Rev. Calvert Jones. BRIDGEND NATIONAL SCHOOLS.—The anniver- sary of these schools was held on the 4th iiis. when the children, 140 girls, and 115 boys attended divine service at Newcastle church, and heard an excellent and impressive discourse from the Rev. H. E. Grahaiu They returned to the school rooms (built and sup- ported by voluntary contributions) and underwent a strict examination by the subscribers present. The reading of the upper classes especially of the girls was correct and clear, their writing and arithmetic good, and their clear explanations and ready replies to many unlooked for, and by no means easy questions, in their religious instruction, gave sincere satisfaction to all 'who heard them. Their plain work, wholly fitted by themselves, was then handed round and pronounced to be most perfectly good. The whole examination, indeed, gave the best proof of the excellent discipline and teaching of the schools. The children then sat down in the Town Hall to an excellent cold dinner, the company waiting on them; and after grace, having sung God save the King verse and chorus, the party broke up with three hearty cheers. CORPORATION CHARTER, AND TOWN-HALL.— The meeting to take into consideration the Municipal Corporation Bill and the erection of a Town-Hall, will take place on Friday next, when we have no doubt, from the great importance of the subjects to be deliberated, that a very numerous meeting will be assembled. AURORA BOREALIS.—A beautiful appearance of Aurora Borealis was visible from this place on the evening of of Saturday last. INFAN,rICIDL.-Oll Wednesday last, a strong sensation was excited by the discovery of the body of a new born infant in the water course leading to Pentrebach Works. Edw. Davis, Esq. surgeon, has examined the body, but from the decomposed state in which it was found, it having been in the water for nine days, it is impossible to pronounce whether violence had been used. The child is supposed not to have been born in due course of gestation and a reward of 5/. has been offered by the Churchwardens tor the discovery of the unnatural parent.
MONMOUTHSHIRE.
MONMOUTHSHIRE. THE, LIBERALITY OF A "LIBERAL AGE." Oil 'llllrsday, the 10th instant, a Vestry Meeting was held in St. Woolo's Church, Newport, agreeable to notice given by the Churchwarden for the town of Newport, for the purpose of obtaining a rate to defray the necessary expences of the Church, for the present year and for paying off the debts due to this time, which appeared to be about 1-101. a moiety of which is paid jointly by the town and parish. A rate of .18. in the pound was granted for the purposes for which the meeting was called about a dozen persons at- tended. A numerous body of Dissenters was ex- pected to attend to oppose the rate but after a pri- vate conference held by them, Mr. Prolliero) the solicitor, appeared as the mediator, and stated that the rate would not be opposed, provided the Organist's salary, Organ-blower, Singers, Lights, Coal, and washing the Surplices, which was calculated at about 601. per year, should not be paid (!) by a rate after that day; but if any objection were made to this, the meeting was to be adjourned, to give the Dissenters an opportunity to come to a vote. No opposition was made, as the Church congregation generally had de- termined not to attend the meeting, but independently subscribe and pay the expences necessary to support the dignity of the Church above what the law com- pelled to be paid by a rate. A subscription has since been entered into, and sufficient funds raised to carry their determination into effect. The Organist, who was not in future to be paid out of the rates, was under apprehensions that he would not get his salary for playing even one day (Sunday). «< No Pay, no play the service of the Church was performed without his assistance or the singers The proprietors of the Gas Works had greater con- fidence in the Church congregation, and allowed the usual lights. to, At this meeting it was decided that one pound paid by the late Churchwarden at a Visitation, Easter 1832, for copy Revocation of the Rev. T. Bodding'ton's Licence," and copy -1 Licence to Rev. Mr. Lang- shaw," is illegal, and was struck out of his account ENLARGEMENT OF CHURCHYARD.—At a Vestry Meeting held on Thursday, to take into consideration the propriety of enlarging the church-yard at New- port, it was resolved that the Rev. A. A. Isaacson, Vicar, be requested to confer with the Bishop of Glou- cester and the Lessees to grant a portion of the Glebe Land for a burial-ground. USK GENERAL QUARTER SESSIONS.

The vacancies occasioned by the death of the late Venerable Archdeacon Beynon (we mean those in the gift of the Bishop of St. David's) have, we un- derstand, been thus disposed of :Tile Archdeaconry of Cardigan has been conferred on a most distin- guished Scholar, the Rev. John Williams, or-Baliol College, now Rector of the Edinburgh Academy. Mr. Williams resigns the Vicarage of Lampeter, which the Bishop has conferred on the Rev. Dr. Lewellin. The Living of Penbryn, vacant by the resignation of the latter, is conferred upon an exem- plary and most deserving man, the present Curate of Lampeter, Mr. Hughes. By these judicious arrange- ments, the Bishop has been able to carry into effect an object which he has long had in view, viz. to secure to very important and valuable parishes the benefit of a resident Incumbent. The Bishop has collated Dr. Lewellin to the Prebendal Stall of llyro, in the College of Brecon vacant by the death of Archdeacon Beynon and the Rev. John Williams, now Archdeacon of Cardigan, to the Stall of Llan- arthney, vacant by the resignation of Dr. Lewellin. Slit WATKIN WILLIAMS WYNN.-Ttic exemplary and liberal conduct of this baronet, in not only re- ducing his rents twenty per cent.but in forgiving all arrears, entitles him to the popular distinction of the King of Wales," which was bestowed by the Cambrians on his grandfather, who, on one occasion during an interview with George 111. was asked by that Monarch if it was true that he was so called in the Principality. "No," said Sir Watkin, "your Majesty is King of Wales: I am only King in Wales."—Standard. In the "St. Christopher Gazette," a West Indian paper, we find high enconiums paid to Lieut. Whitaker, formerly of this town, for his strenuous and successful exertions to preserve from depreda- tion the cargo'of the William Manning, West India trader, which was wrecked on that islaud.Carntai,- then Journal. The remains of the late Archdeacon Beynon were interred last Tuesday morning, in the chancel of Llandilo church. The funeral was plain and un- ostentatious, yet in every respect suitable to the deceased's rank in life, and was attended by many of the neighbouring clergy and gentlemen. Every unnecessary expense was carefully avoided, thereby honourably consultip.g the interest of the many poor claimants to the residue of the property. As under- taker Mr. Benjamin Edwards gave the greatest satisfaction, in conducting the same in a manner highly to his credit.—Ibid. At the last ordination held by the Lord Bishop of St. David's at Lampeter, Charles Vaughan, B. A. was ordained to the Curacies of Boughrood and Llan- ddewr Vach. There was a very numerous attendance at the Statute Fair held in this city on Monday last. A great number of the female servants were hired; but we understand few agricultural labourers were en- gaged.- Gloucester Chronicle. MITCHELDEAN FAIR,-This fair was well sup- plied with stock, but in consequence of Ross market being held upon the same day there was a great defi- cieney of buyers. Best cheese found a ready sale from 56s. to 54s. per cwt.—Ibid. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last, Henry ^Ppersley, a boy about ten years of age, an inmate of the workhouse of Newnham was burnt to death by his clothes taking fire.-lhid, AFFECTING AND SINGULAR CASE OF SUDDEN DEATH.—We last week mentioned the death of the highly respected Rev. Mr. Lockey, of Lanwarne; on Saturday whilst the plumber was engaged in solder- lllg down the coffin which contained his remains, he was caJled down to the coachman, Wm. Dowding, a young man only 25 years of age, who had been taken III in an outhouse, and who expired soon after being conveyed into the house. He had been ill for some time, but was in this city only the day preceding on husiuess.—Z/e?^eford Journal. On Wednesday the 2nd inst. the parishioners of Vowchurch attended their parish church, in com- pliance with the summons of their minister, to return thanks to Almighty God for his goodness, in vouch- safing us so favourable a season this year. A very apposite discourse was delivered on the occasion, by their worthy Curate the Rev. Morgan Jones, taken from the 107th Psalm to theSth verse. EXTRAORDINARY CONFLICT.—On Wednesday, in a field belonging to T. A. Smith, Esq., near Port Dinorwic, a cat was observed iu a state of con- siderable excitement, to dart at some object, supposed to be a rabbit. Her agitation was so unusual as to raise the curiosity of our informants, who happened to be at no great distance. On their going into the field, the cat ran away, and they found that she had been maintaiug a sharp contest with a snake, two feet and half in length and three inches circumference. The reptile was bleeding profusely from a wound in the back of the neck. They killed it and left it on the spot. Not long after, to their astonishment, the cat returned eagerly seized the trophy with her teeth and bore it off in triumph.—Chester Courant.. PUOLIFLC POTATOE.—Mr. White, of the Bridge Tavern, in Nantwich, lately dug from one root no less than 162 potatoes, of the blue farmer kind, weighing 47 pounds. He intends to preserve them for next year's seed.-Ibid. USES OF CAOUTCHOUC, OR INDIA RUBBER. ivfr- Brockedon, at the Royal Institution, lately de- livered a lecture upon the nature and present uses of caoutchouc, or india rubber. This substance has only been introduced into Europe 100 years. The lecturer's table was strewed with various articles of elastic materials—such as cables, ropes, rigger bands, whale lines, clothe, surgical bandages, &c.; the strength and elasticity of which is under the control of the manufacturer. The lecturer stated that the whale now could be held (the rope having no jerk upon it) as easy as the trout is taken by the anglei with a single hair line, from the elasticity or pliability of the top joint of the rod, and without which the first plunge of the fish would snap the line were it ten times the strength. He pointed out the great use of the surgi- cal bandage, and of all articles where equal tension was necessary, it being perfectly under the control and comfort of the wearer. Some threads ot India rubber were shown, cut by machinery, III which one pound was cut into 8,000 yards, and by the aId of steam, with a beautiful machine two git-is can cut 240,000 yards-daily, perfectly even as to size, and not thicker than a thick sewing thread. The lecturer ex hibited a solution which rendered rotten India rubber perfectly strong, a sample of which would not allow of the least tension when cut into a thread the same being became strong and difficult to break.
POETRY
POETRY THE LAMENT OF LIBERTY. (From the Liverpoùl Standard,) From the White clitis of Dover the sun was declining, The bode of t e sea-bird was heard on the strand, And a red gory hue over England was shining, As the genius of liberty wept o'er the land Ilerry England, farewell! chosen home of my giory- The blood of thy martyrs hath hallowed my fane— My holiest deeds are engraved in thy story. Alas! that thy weakness such record should stain And, oh! where are the spirits that pressed at my warning. And braved to the death the proud Babel of Rome, And awaked sleeping millions to truth's second morning, And reared thee, love island. her temple, her home Oh, Albion! thy power and thy glory is waning— The scourge of the despot, the hope of the free- Thou art forging the thrall—thou art i-ipe for the chaining- Thy p!ace 'mid the nations is taken from thee Oh, Albion no rival such ruin doth bring thee— No foemun assails thy strong bulwarks of yore- Thou hast cherished political vipers to sting thee- The coil of the basilisk lies at thy core Fallen star! 'inid the nations once satellites round thee, Neptune's trident was thine to rule over the iJood- The vile web of thy mountebaukstatesmen hath bound thee; The state is deceased and the laud lacketh blood. Oh foul fiend of reform thy dictates flllfilling- The horrors of France fitting prototypes bc- Rejoice for thy well-chosen actors are willillg; The play is revived, and the theatre free. Merry England, farewell! the proud sceptre I won thee, Thus broke at our parting. I ihng to the wave- Wo, wo for the fate that thy weakness bequeaths thee- The curse of thy children-the blood of thy I)rave."
TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE…
TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GUARDIAN. Sir,—Your motto being Y Gwir yn erbyn y By I flatter myself that in accordance with this manly avowal, you will have no objection to give publicity to an observation or two upon the neglect of a duty due to the public in general. A few days since I was unexpectedly led to travel over a, considerable part of the turnpike road leading from Merthyr Tydvil to Abergavenny. It was between five and six o'clock, P.M. when I left the former place, and and as the evening, at intervals, was dark, I could not perceive the large heaps of stones yhich in many-in very many places were lying on the road side in consequence of this I was very nearly bringing down my horse, (a valuable animal,) and perhaps, in regard to myself narrowly escaping an accident of no trifling nature! Will you, Mr. Editor, through your paper, allow me to ask those to whom the care and regulation of this road is confided, (should what I now write attract their notice) whether the heaps of stones to which I have alluded, arc deposited, as before stated, with their consent and permission ? The truth ot my position cannot be doubted—it is obvious to all facts are stubborn things. Now, I cannot avoid thinking that if additional attention were given to this subject, it would be an act of charity to the public, and that the turnpikes so frequently encountered, would be more cheerfully paid than they are at present. I am, sir, yours obediently, A CONSTANT READER. Oct. 19th, 1833.

The following eloquent remarks were made by Sir Robert Peel, Bart. M. P. at the Anniversary Meeting of the Birmingham District Society for the promoting of Christian Knowledge, held at Bir- mingham on Tuesday, the 1st illst- he was the Chairman on the occasion. For the means of affording religious information this Society was established, and I feel proud in being a mem- ber of it. I am aware that little importance may be attached to individual labour but I am also aware that it is only by a combination of individual efforts -A union of strength —a consonance of feeling—and a cousolidatioa of exertions, that the objects which the Society has in view, can be accomplished. It is impossible not to deplore the spirit of infidelity now abroad-but it is vain to deplore, and equally vam to lament its influence on the morals of society— its con- tempt for our institutions and our laws-and its attacks on our established religion,-urlless we are determined zealously and resolutely to maintain the ascendancy of religious truth I We heartily agree with Sir Robert in the sen- timents which he has so ably expressed, and at the same time deeply lament the apathy and want of union now so generally existing among believers nevertheless, we would fain hope that the period is not far distant, when a fresh and renewed energy will be called into action, in making known the Redeemer's kingdom, and in advancing the glad tidings of salvation, not only at home, but in dif- ferent and distant parts of the earth. » A contemporary Journal gave last week a state- ment of the residence of the Clergy in the Diocese of Gloucester, as it was returned in the year 1831. by which it appears that there were then 116 in- cumbents resident on their livings. We are informed upon good authority, ttat, at the present time, there are 150 residents. We have here a substantial proof of the good effects of the efforts made by our present Diocesan to promote the residence of his clergy. It may be observed, that this number is in- dependent of a great many incumbents, who, from want of residences on their on benefices, live in ad- joining parishes, (several within balfa mile of their churches,) performing their own duties. We learn from the same authority, that the erection of Glebe Houses is at tills" mornent in actual progress in ten parishes of the Diocese --Gloucester Chronicle.
