NOTICES TO CORRESPONDENTS. We are much obliged by the communication of our Brecon friend, which we only absfain from inserting through fear that the statement, eren though true, might subject us to a criminal information for libel. We are sorry that the request to withhold the paragraph re- lating. to the Meeting at Abergavenny did not reach us until too late to be complied with. We have received Tan anonymous letter relating to the Eis, teddfod, signed" Merthyronian if the writer will ap- ply to us in his proper name, we will take care to give the subject of his letter every possible publicity. We have again to express our regret that want of space con- tains us to postpone many valued communications. MUNICIPAL CORPORATION BILL.

MERTHYR JYDVIL, SATURDAY, Xoo. 30, 1833 -to- There is probab!y no form, in which the unfail- ing effects of Whig principles are more signally manifest, than in the present condition of the agricultural districts. The depressed state of the farmers is already matter of paiuful "notoriet,ý but the feature, not less important in our view, which occupies our preseut reflections, is the moral and social condition of those parts of the kingdom which subsist by rural industry. To Ireland, although of the agricultural part of the kingdom a very large proportion, we shall not allude not only because it is remote from the seat of our labours, but because the ewls which occupy our present attention are there not of recent birth. But the subject to which we particularly call the attention of our readers, is the frightful recent increase, in the agricultural districts of England, of the diabolical crime of incendiarism upon agricultural property, and of robbery on the highway. Scarcely a week passes but the t, provincial papers bring to us numerous and pain- ful records of the willnl destruction of agricul- tural property by fire: while the practice oi robbing on the highway has become so common that in Wiltshire the farmers ride to Devizes market and home again armed. These are evils which strike so directly, not only at the .e»j°yments and comforts of human life, but even at the safety of it, that we conceive them to call for serious consideration. Although they appar only to occasionally affect individuals, they indicate alarming and recent strides in moral depravation, in which the interests of the public are deeply concerned and, in the sense of inse- curity, and even terror, which they bring upon 0 the possessors of a certain kind of property, they defeat, pro tanto, that sense of security which it is the principal object of the laws to afford, and through which alone the prosperity of the country in its prosperous days was effected. It is a remarkable fact, that the day when the crime of incendiarism was first perpetrated in England, was just six weeks after the consum- mation of the French Revolution of glorious days." It is also a singular fact, that the French King had at that time sent hither, as his minister, a states whose astute political dexterity, and talents for intrigue in all its forms, are universally known; and wilose services, for all ordinary pur- poses, were infinitely more wanted by his Royal Master in Paris than in London. The great in- flux also of French people, of French principles, and no doubt of French politicians, at this time, was universally remarked. However, the people of England were at that time such ardent admi- rers of their Gallic allies, that no suspicion ol foreign agency in this matter could be tolerated, and the blame was all put down to "Tory misrule and boroughmongering corruption." Put out the Tories, and bring in honest Lord GREY and the Reform in Parliament, and the fires would die away of themselves. Soon after the Whigs came into power they took the matter in hand with needful energy, and, by hanging some, and transporting others of the rural offenders, quietness was restored. This was certainly a great desideratum but the Whigs left one thing omitted: THEY MADE NO ENQUIRY INTO THE CONDITION OR DISTRESSES OF THE CLASS OF PEOPLE WHO COMMITTED THESE OUTRAGES. From that time to the termination of the late Session ot Parliament, the promise of the Reform measure, and the hopes fondly entertained of the magnificent blessings which were to flow from it, have kept the population of the rural as well as other districts in a state of patience supported by hope. Now, however, the bubble has burst, the delusiveness of Whig promises stands undis- guised, and the people awake to a sense of their real situation. They find that honest Lord GREY has kept the word of promise to the ear, but mocked it to the heart. They have the Whigs, but they have the GREYS also, (yea and the GREY- LINGS) the BROUGHAMS, and the PLUNKETTS, and the DUKllAMS, battening on the hard earned fruits of the people's industry. They have the Reform Bill; but they have with it a Ministry which has belied its hundred times told professions, in re- taining the Assessed Taxes: a Parliament, a Reformed Parliament, which voted one day the repeal of the Malt Tax, and voted the next day its re-enactment. They have seen, with deep and silent disgust, the property of every man who had 'I property to preserve, exposed naked to the spolia- tion of any robber, be he only sufficiently cla- morous they have seen the Church, under which the people, but above all the agricultural people, and their fathers and their father's fathers, have lived in faith and in happiness (and to which they cling with the strongest, with the longest lasting attachment of rural men) abandoned to spolia- tion at the first summons of loud vulvar scofl: they have seen the Magistracy of the country degraded, (and what to such men can be more galliug than degradation) whenever they manfully upheld the authority of the throne and the laws against the torrent of sedition and crime: and they have seen, that when their own sufferings were to become a theme, twice, (on the motion of the two ArrwooDs) they were cast off to pine under the nipping frost of the Ministerial veto. My Lord GREY, that which placed you in office was, not your own qualifications, of which even those who 'saw little saw the extent, for public business it was not your professions of a Reform in Parliament, d. thing which even six months before was a subject of derision but it was the indiscreet expression of the Duke of WELLINGTON, in the first speech of his present MAJESTY, that the distress which the people suffered was partial and local. To have remedied this distress, to have revived the drooping commerce of the country, to have fostered its agriculture, its manufactures, and its shipping, and to have upheld all its authorities and all its classes and gradations of persons in their just and becoming station, was your duty, not only as of loyalty to that King whom you had sworn y a to serve, but to that people of whom you were the professing champion. Instead of this, we find you, but no; here we must pause; for even truth is a libel-if it impute gross malver- sation. It transpired in the evidence on the Agricul- tural Committee, that the farmers, from their trade not being a remunerating one, were com- pelled to employ ONLY THE BEST LABOURERS. The labourers not of this stamp, and therefore unemployed, are a class of persons for whom it behoves the Government, upon every considera- tion that is imperative, to devise means of e:n- ployment. It behoves them to do so because it is by the weight of taxation (which we admit to be in great measure necessary) that these poor men are precluded from the exertion of their honest industry and for that evil, the legislature, which imposes the burden, is bound to provide a com- pensation. The Government are the more bojind to do this thing, because they have now a Re- formed Parliament (and never was a Parliament more compliant to the Ministers that be) wliich, they said, was all that was wanting for the pros- perity of the country. The Government are also the more bound to do this, because, by their own supineness in not upholding the dignity of the laws against audacious delinquents, they have invited, they have even justified, the offences of smaller criminals. And lastly, it behoves the Government to provide employment for these men, which can be done only by improving the agricultural interest, because the cost, even of the most remunerating employment to these people, canuot be one twentieth part of the actual loss to be sustained by the stagnation of industry, in a country where the roads are impassable, and where men cannot rest in safety, through fear of the midnight incendiary.

FF-ANCE.-Tlie intelligence from France, during the present week, contains no circumstances of importance, excepting the death of Marshal Jourdan, who died at eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, in the 72d year of his age. Private correspondence from Bayonne speaks of all in- tention of an armed interference in the affairs of Spain. SPAIN—Notwithstanding the reports from Spain continue to be of a mixed complexion, the intelligence on the whole materially prepon- derates in favour of the Queen's cause. Gen- eral Sarsfeld has had an action with the insurgents, under the Cura Merino at Delorado, in which the Carlists were defeated with a considerable loss in killed and wounded, and 700 or 800 in priso- ners. Afterwards upwards of 400 of the insur- gents laid down their arms. The Cura Merino after this took refuge in Alava, and Sarsfeld proceeded in full march upon Yittoria, arriving on the 15th at Pancorvo, about 11 Spanish leagues North of Burgos. The Indicateur of Bordeaux speaks of an action on the 17th in which El Pastor (Col. Jauregny) defeated a body of rebels to the number of 1,800, on the heights of Hernani, and drove them as far as Anduain. The leader of the insurgents, Yturniaga, was killed in the action. On the 19th Gen. Sarsfeld appeared at Vittoria, where he defeated the insurgents and took pos- session of the city for the Queen and intelligence from St. Jean de Luz of the 20th November, states that Sarsfield's troops were at that date in possession of Bilboa, and that El Pastor's troops were at the same time in possession of Irun. PORTUGAL.—We are without positive intelli- gence from Portugal; but a gentleman, who has arrived by the Leveret from Lisbon, reports that on the 5th instant the Miguelites, 4000 strong made an attack on Oporto, but were repulsed after five hours hard fighting. In consequence of indirect encouragement afforded by Don Miguel to Don Carlos, diplomatic relations between the Queen Regent of Spain and Don Miguel have ceased. HOLLAD.- The Brussels Papers state that the Convention for arranging the communications between the fortress of Maestricht and Holland, was signed by the Commissioners of Holland and Belgium on the 18th instant, and that the ratifica- tions were to be exchanged by the 26th of Nov. In the distribution of the payment of the interest on the old national debt of the kingdom of the Netherlands, it is calculated that Belgium will have to pay X735,000, after which, the annual incumbrance from this source on the Dutch Trea- sury will be £ 997,200. The expense incurred in the contest with Belgium has, during the last three years, burthened Holland with an annual charge of £ 857,500 for interest, anrd £ 52,500 for extinction of the debt; making a total charge of £910,000 per annum. The whole amount which the Dutch Government, therefore, will have to provide for paying the interest on the respective debts, after deduction made of the Belgian quota, will, for the year 1834, amount to 91,907,200. The Public Income for the year 1832 was £ 4,440,066. BELGIUM .-Ministers have been appointed on the parts of France and Belgium respectively, to form a commercial treaty, and are engaged in deciding upon the objects of merchandize to which the treaty is to apply. The coal trade of Belgium is in a flourishing and rapidly im- proving condition but there are great complaints of want of a market for their manufactures. The estimates of the expenditure for the year 1834 have been submitted to the Chamber of Representatives, the total is fixed at £ 3,364,897, which is £ 560,000. less than the expenditure of 1833. The abatement is principally on the military branches of expenditure. The Extra- ordinaries" in the Estimate amount to £ 656,640. of which sum it is probable that the hostite aspect of affairs towards Holland will absorb £ 600,000. PRUSSIA.—The only intelligence of interest re- lative to Prussia is that with respect to the Prus- sian tariff, which is expected to come into opera- tion on the 1st of January next. The King of Wurtemberg has signified his accession to it, and negociations are on foot at Munich, in which it is supposed that the accession of several other Ger- man states will be obtained. So much for the success, after fourteen years experiment, of the Reciprocity system RUSSIA.-The Southern provinces of Russia are suffering under a scarcity of Corn, amounting nearly to a famine. What aggravates the misery of the case is, that Corn cannot be exported from Odessa, as, under the present state of affairs, it is supposed ships will not be allowed to pass Con- stantinople with provisions of any kind. Marshal Paskewitsch is about to be replaced in Poland by a Civil Functionary, after which the Government of that country will be placed upon the same footing as prior to the last Revolu- tion. EGYPT.—A statement of the Budget of the Viceroy has lately been circulated, in which the Poll Tax is set down at £ 490,000, and the Cus_ toms Duties and other sources of revenues, at £ 560,000. The estimated profit on Cotton, In- digo, Flax, Sugar, Honey, Wax, Corn, Linen, Silk Manufactures, &c. is assumed at about £ 960,000 and the produce of the .Land Tax, at upwards of £ 1,560,000. In the list of Disburse- ments we observe a sum of £ 407,500 for the Pasha's Household Expenses; the various de- partments of his administration form a charge of £ 270,200. The charge for his Navy is stated at £420,000; the infantry and Cavalry cost £ 300,000, and the Bedouin Arabs, in the field, £ 105,000. The construction of his Navy, which, in 1829, occasioned an expenditure of C73,500, has not cost him less, during the five years since elapsed, than £ 360,000 and upwards. THE CANADAS—Accounts from Montreal state that the number of emigrants this year is 21,945, which is 3,000 less than the half of last year, but they are of a more wealthy class. The Pro- vincial Parliament of Upper Canada is convened for the 19 Nov. for the dispatch of business. WEST INDIES.-Tlie intelligence from the Western Colonies is by no means of a pleasing nature. A circular, very ably written, by Mr. Stanley, has been forwarded to the governors of the different islands, stating at length the reasons on which the legislature was induced to pass the Emancipation Bill. It appears, however, that at some of the islands the measure still excites great discontent. At Antigua, at a meeting of Colonial Proprietors, some strong resolutions have been passed, and a petition founded upon them is to be presented. The Resolutionists declare that the Apprenticeship clause will be a constant source of irritation between the two parties they deny that there is any constitutional right to compel them to employ labourers over whose conduct they would have no control: and express their willingness to consent to entire and unconditional Z, emancipation upon receiving £30. per slave, and being exempt from the four and a half per cent duty. At a meeting held at Nevis, it was agreed to accept the compensation offered, provided if were distributed in proportion to the number of slaves though the meeting considered the amount far below the loss they would sustain, and only what they are willing to call something towards a compensation. The intelligence also from Ja- maica to the 14th ult. represents that the Colonial legislature is prepared seriously to investigate how far the Emancipation Bill is compatible with their just rights, as soon as all official documents relative to it are laid before them. A strong repugnance to it appears in the Jamaica papers.

THE RHINE AND THE DANUBE.—A Frankfort paper, in an article from Dresden, dated the 8th instant, has the following:—"Some days ago, seve- ral gentlemen from Prague and Vienna arrived on the banks of the Elbe. It is affirmed that the object of their meeting is to realize the plan, which has already been conceived, of uniting the Rhine with the Danube, and even to join the Rhine with the Elbe, by means of communications with the Danube and the Moldau, and then to form a passage by water to the Black Sea, by way of Vienna, Opau, Semlin, and Necropolis, as far as Vienna, and then by the Black Sea to the Archipelago and the Mediterranean; and on the other hand, by means of the Moldau and the Elbe, by way of Prague, Dresden, Magdeburgh, and Hamburgh, with the Baltic and the German Ocean; as there is already a communication be- tween the Danube and the Moldau, by the iron rail road, to Budwert, it remains only to over- come the difficulties of the navigation on the Mol- dau and the Elbe, especially by means of steam- boats, and it is with this view that the gentlemen above mentioned have been commissioned by Austria to examine, the two rivers. It is sup- posed that the plan for uniting the Rhine and the Danube has already been adopted by the powers concerned." At, Madras, in June, the heat surpassed any thing previously known at that Presidency: people were dying of heat alone, without any actual disease. Orangeism is making rapid strides in the South, particularly in Waterford. only a few months a go, such a thin g as an Orange Lodge was not knowu in VVaterford, and now there are three. CAMBRIAN, GLOUCESTER, AND BIRMINGHAM RAIL- WAY.—At the meeting held yesterday week at Kid- derminster, and which was most respectably attended, to consider the expediency of this Railway passing through Kidderminster, it was unanimously resolved c that that line would be highly beneficial to the town, and to the public. Mr. Woddesson ex- plained his plan at great leng'h, and the thanks of the meeting were voted to him. The resolutions adopted are advertised in another column. Miss FANNY KEMBLE.—The New York Ad- vertizer says that 20,000 dollars have been offered by the intended husband of this young lady, to re- lease her from the remaining term of her engagement at the New York Theatre, and that the offer has been refused. A further advance has taken place of three- pence per day in the waget; of workmen in the collier- ies and ironworks in this vicillity.Shrewsbury Chronicle. CHOLERA AT WIGAN.-The cholera is prevalent at Wigan, cases being of frequent occurrence. On Tuesday, a young man named Barnes, who was on the eve of marriage, died of this complaint,after « few hours' illness.

THE LATEST LONDON INTELLIGENCE. The Paris Journals of Monday contain ac- counts of disturbances among the operatives in the provinces at Louviers troops were sent to put down the excesses. Movements of considerable importance, and in favour of Don Carlos, are said, upon good authority, to have taken place in the provinces of the Asturias and both Castiles. The Queen, con- vinced of the insufficiency of the number of regular troops, had resolved to ordain a levy of 4o,ooo.-Albiotil From the Memorial Bordelais of Nov. 23. Accounts from the Portuguese frontier state that Don Miguel, driven from all his positions, has determined to cross the frontier with the rem- nant of his troops, and to act upon Spain in con- cert with Don Carlos. We shall see whether this intelligence will be confirmed. Letters from Madrid of the 13th speak of a loan which the Spanish Ministry intend to make, in three per Cents. This measure has become unavoidable, on account of the insufficiency of the receipts, and the exhausted state of the treasury. Montreal and Quebec Papers contain the answer, dated 28th June, of the Right Hon. E. G. Stanley, to a petition from the Tsland of Cape Breton, praying for the restoration of the Constitution grahted to the settlement by King Geo. Ill. He recommends that the petitioners be heard byCoun- sel before his Majesty in Council. By intelligence by the Plover packet, which left Havannah on the 27th August, we learn that the government of Santa Anna was fully estab- lished. He had completely dispersed the insur gents after a battle on the6th, and was conducting his government with much popularity. The Cholera, which had been severe, had decreased. Private Correspondence from Bayonne, Nov. 21st says the news is confirmed that Sarsfeld has resigned his command, and that his successor, General Quesada, has beeji ordered to march im- mediately upon Vittoria. The Spanish Consul has been changed: his cessor, the Chevalier de Ribus, has just arrived. The Carlists, who were at Tolosa, have disbanded themselves." The Augsburgh Gazette" announces in a letter from Constantinople that everything was tranquil there, but that in most of the provinces insurrections and discontent abounded. The Sheriffs of Norwich have addressed a letter to the Commissioners appointed to enquire into the state of that Corporation in which they disclaim all right in the Commissioners to conduct the enquiry, and firmly but tempera tely- refuse to permit their officers to afford them any infor- mation The O'Connell tribute having been a great failure, it has been resolved-by his committee that circulars be addressed to those who have not yet subscribed, and that a list be published of those who do and those who do not subscribe

DREADFUL SUICIDE IN THE FLEET PRISON.—* On Saturday evening an Inquest was held in the Fleet prison, on the body of the Rev. John Borthwicke Bingley, aged 50.-The body of the deceased was prostrate on the floor of one of the upper wards of the prison. The head was nearly severed from the bodyv and the place covered with blood. The deceased it appeared, formerly held a living in Yorkshire, where his family, who possess considerable estates, resided. Prior to his arrest, he was known in the sporting world, in which he betted largely, and was unsuccess- ful. His misfortunes reduced him, and brought within the walls of a prison about seven years &S0' He was subject to fits of epilepsy, and frequently la boured under a delusion of vision. He imagined that he saw visions before him, and he would often the poker, and strike at every-thing about him, call'11? out "Murder Murder! as if some one was at- tacking him.

BURGLARY.—On Sundav evening last, between six and eight o'clock, while the family of a matt man named Davis, residing on the Stapleton road, next door to the Waggon and Horses, were absen at Chapel, some villains entered his dwelling-house and carried off money and clothes to the value 0 201. And on Wednesday evening an attempt wa' made to break into the house of Mr. Marks, SllrgeOI1 who resides near the Three Blackbirds, but just a the moment the thieves had succeeded in opeiliflg the outer shutter and removing some glass to e^e°j an entrance, the servant-maid gave an alarm, they were obliged to make a precipitate retreat.

Nov. 26.— Since this day week the arrivals of wheat and flour are large from Ireland; and extensive sup- plies ot Euglish wheat to the neighbouring markets- About 4000 quarters are reported from the Baltic. The demand for wheat was principally for the finest qualities, and some sales made on rather lower iet-rus; inferior samples quite neglected'; very little busiuess done in Sour, although best marks were offered at Is. reduction. Oats in fair request; and oatmeal sold at 3d.advance. The imports of butter are 5,920 firkins; the de- maud during the week has been languid, in some in. stances lower prices taken. Bacon dull; hams in re- quest. At this morning's market there was but little wheat disposed of the finest quattrios barely supported last week's quotations inferior parcels declined Id. to 2d. per bushel. Oats supported their prices. The de- maurt for flour very dull, and above noted decline submitted to. Oatmeal supported the advance, but demand not brisk. STATE OF TRADE.At length the uniformity which has characterised the business at our celebrated woollen marts during almost the whole of the current year, has been interrupted and on Tuesday last very few sales were effected, particularly in the Coloured Cloth Hall. The market is admitted on all hands to have been one of the worst that has been experi- enced for some time. Trade in general has been less brisk, but we do not hear of any very large number of workmen being out of employ, except in the stuff trade, which is wofully slack at present.— Leeds Intelligencer. A At Halifax market on Saturday it with much difficulty that any considerable sales were effected either in stuff goods or wool, but the former prices were in general obtained.—Ibid, The finest cider is delivering in Worcester by the grower at 4d. per gallon. ENGLISH WOOL.-This article advanced 2d. per lb. at Yeovil fair on Monday last; Is. 9d. per lb. was freely given, and a farmer from Netherbury refused that price for five years' clip. THE BOBBIN-NET INTANUFACTU[tE:. -This is a branch of manufacture nearly new. It began in 1811t and in 1831 it employed in its machinery, and in the various subsidiary processes connected with it, about 211,000 persons, had attracted capital to the extent I of 2,3lO,OJO/ and produced manufactured goods to the amount of3,417,7001., out ofaraw material, cost- ing originally about 150,000/. While it has greatly increased the population of several manufacturing towns, it has spread employment over the country more than any other business -of the same absolute extent. Of the 4,500 maclH/tes which it employs, about 1,000 belong to persons who work them them- selves, and who thus unite the character of journey- men with that of master in the same individual. In two years previous to 1831 wages had fallen con- siderably, from the competition in the market, and from the unavoidable transfer of the manufacture to other countries. The same causes have continued to operate to the present time, and Mr. Falkin estimates the capital now employed in the trade to be 1,932,0007. and the number of hands 159,300. Meanwhi'e, by improved processes, the number of yards of net made in the lattei- period exceeded that made in the former by 7,000,060-beiiim, iu 1831, 23,400,000 square yards, and in 1833, 30,771,000. It would appear that about three-fourths of the goods manufactured are exported. France has begun to manufacture for her- self, and anybody who has been at Calais must have heard of the number of English workmen employed in that frontier town in this particular branch of busi- ness, which employs 600 machines. The machines employed altogether in the north of France, amount to about 1,600.—Manchester Chronicle. CARMARTHEN FAIR.—At our Fair yesterdayr there was a fair shew of Cattle, but we do not remem- ber seeing so few Horses, which were of an inferior sort; however, we are happy to sta'e that for the former there was a bri.-k sale, at increased prices, the demand for the latter was very inconsiderable, but those disposed of realized an advanced price.—To-day the Pig fjir is held, and we are informt-d from a gen- tleman farmer, who has been in the habit of attending Ciirs, that he n-vei- saw so large a show of pigs of so superior a description in any fair in this cOllntyal1 was exhibited to-day. They had an average sale, at abont 3d. per lb.-Carmarthen Journal. FAIR OF CASTLEBAR.- The fair on Monday was a shocking bad one. The supply of cattle was scanty the number of buyers small, and the price unusually low. Milch cows, however, were in tolerable demand, but pigs were cheaper than almost any man recollrcti the,n ever to have been. Sheep are scarce in the country, and therefore those in the fair brought pretty good prices.-Cast;ebar Telegraph. WHALE FISHING -All the Greenock whale fishing vessels have now arrived. Their success, as is al- ways the case, has been varied but the fishing on the whole has been productive. The produce of nine vessels is, in number of fish 217, and 2,015 tons in weight. The whalebone will amount to about 100 tons. Estimating a ton of oil at 20/ and a ton of the bone at 150/ the value of the whole nine cargoes will be 65,3001. The gross produce of this year'# fi hing brought to Britain has been calculated to be 15,00u tons of oil. If this be correct the cargoes of th ships belonging to this port will amount to be- tween a seventh and eighth part of the whole.- Glasgow Evening Post. The manufacturers and dealers in cotton and silk piece goods, the fabric of Bengal, have signed a petition to the King in Council, complaining of the import of the fabrics of Great Britain into Bengal without any protecting duties, while manufactured cottons are charged ten and silks twenty per cent on importation into Great Britain, and praying an equality either on terms of free trade or a like amount of duty- DISEASK AMONGST CATTLE.—We are sorry to state that au epidemic is at present making sad havoc amongst cattle &e. in this neighbourhood. On Tue"- day, eight fine cows, seven pigs, and one horse, the property of the Earl of Harewood, died at Harewood in the course of a few hours. The doctors" are at fault in the matter some of them consider it a specie* of cholera. The bowels of the animals were violently affected, and the lungs of those opened after death shewed a considerable ijiflam mat i on.-L-eeds Intel/»' gencer.
