As such scale will be determined by the amount of 1!le subscriptions, we take leave to call the atten- ion of our readers to the request of the Honorary e?' etaries, that the amount of the subscriptions be Paid on or before the First of next Month imuie- Iately after which, it is understood to be the inten- tion of the Secretaries to convene the Meeting of the "bscribers at large. CARDIFF BENEVOLENT LOAN SOCIETY. n Wednesday evening, a meeting, pursuant to Notice, was held in the Town Hall, to celebrate the anniversary of a most interesting nstituiion, entitled the Cardiff Benevolent Loan Society. The meeting by several of the most respectable in- «abitants of the towu, who took a lively interest the proceedings of the evening. John Moore, Esq. -frbeing called to the chair, it was resolved, Jjat the Report of the Committee of Management be read by the seerelary, the Rev. H- G. Graham. It was gratifying to learn from the Rev. •Ccretary's statement, that very material benefits had arisen to the town of Cardiff from the existence of the institution: the object of the Society as set forth i" the report, was to grant temporary loans to small tradesmen and industrious labourers, by which the oriner were enabled to purchase goods necessary to carrying on their business at the best market, the latter to obtain many little comforts for their atailies, which could not be obtained by any weekly It was also shewn by the report, that many families had been prevented from applying to the Parish, by the timely aid of a loan from the society and it seemed to be the opinion of those who gave the matter consideration, that these loans might, if <1uly cherished, have a material iuHuence on the parochial rates and prevent much of the demoral- "illg effects arising from an applicaiion for parish belief- the evils of which are so generally felt in all Populous places. Au instance of the moral good sometimes attending temporary loans, was staled by the secretary :-A man who had been in the habit of' spending nearly the whole of his earnings every Saturday night at a public house, and leaving his ^He and children in the most abject state of poverty, Y, procured a loan of 5/. from the Society. On the Sa- turday before his return of payment, he took his whole peek's wages hpme, saying, 1 mn>t pay that 5s. on Monday,morning lie coutinucd to do so during tlie jJO weeks required for the ve-payment his conduct became altered, his wife and family were clothed, and his habitation rendered comfortable. Inde- pendent of this case, many grateful acknowledgements j (If the benefits conferred by the Society were set before the meeting. Since the establishment of the Society, in the year 1832, from a fund not exceeding HilI. The largo Utn of 5û31. was shewn by the accounts to have been distributed in loans of not less than It. and not ex- leeedilig 5l repaid by weekly instalments of Is. in the P°und, by which 190 families had been materially benefitted. In the course of the report, the secretary announced to the meeting the prompt and liberal re- P'y of the Marquess of Bute, to an application made to him on behalf of the Society. The repty was ^orihy of the noble Marquess :—" 1 think such a Society likely to be highly beneficial to the town of Cardiff; as an earnest of my good wishes for its suc- cess, 1 have desired Mr. E. P. Richards to pay you as a donation from me." After the report was read, it was unanimously resolved, that it should be Printed for general distribution, iu the hope of in- ducing influential persons in other places, to form Societies of the like nature. Mr. Wm. Bird, in the handsomest manner came forward, and offered gratui- tously to print 300 copies, that the fund< of the Society IIlIght not be encroached on. This offer was ac- CePted with many thanks to Mr. Bird for his liberal Conduct. The Secretary was then directed to convey '° the Marquees of Bute the high sense the meeting ^itertained of his munificent donation, by which the J-otniiiittee had been enabled to coufer such great enefit on the town. Thanks were theu voted to the l^aii'man for his conduct in the chair, and also to the °tneers.of the Institution and having entered into a subscription in aid of the funds, the friends of the Cardiff Benevolent Loan Society departed highly gratified with the proceedings of the evening, it is ji°ped that the accounts of this very interesting ineet- lnff may be the means of promoting the establishment such Societies in other parts of the Principality, 'here they have been established in England and Ireland, the advantages accruing from them have in- variably been very great. We are authorised to say, that the Rev. Secretary the Cardiff Society will, with the utmost pleasure give every information in his power, and aid by every Possible means,the formation of a similar Institution, Wherever it may be deemed likely to be of service. ROMNKY BJUDGE.—-We regret to filHl that at a tDg of the trustee held a few weeks since at ardiff, liitle hope was, entertained of any reduction eiug made ju the tails at present payable. The debt 11 411,101 and the anuual receipts 2291. leaving otrly, 10l. 10s. beyond the interest on the debt and payment to the clerk, and for advertising, towards the neces- T*ry repairs.

E. P. Thomas, P. C. of that parish. Tne Rev. Gentleman's text was from Heb. 10, v. 21, the exhortation in which he pleaded with great zeal and ability. He gave a lucid exposition of the state of this truly noble institution, and dilated with considerable talent on the widely extended field of its exertions, and the increased eflorts which were required to meet the spiritual wants, and to satisfy the intellectual demands of innumerable fellow-creatures whose advancing knowledge fully kept pace with their advance.in numbers. The object of the Cowbridge District Committee is to payoff a debt of IDOl. which they have contracted, without appealing to the funds (and thereby diminishing their means of doing good) of the Parent Society. Notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the weather, a very respectable collection was obtained. COWBRIDGE.—GROSS OUTRAGES.—On Friday night, last week, some mischievous ill-disposed ras- cals removed the boundary stone of Cowhridge parish and threw down a considerable part of a wall between that town and Llanblethian; from thence entering the latter village they threw a quantity of stones down the chimney of the Mill House, frightening an aged female to such a de- gree that she has been confined to her bed ever since.—Also on the night of Saturday last some villains entered an outhouse upon the premises of the Rev. R. Knight, Llanblethian, and stole from thence a tame hawk, a favourite bird of that gen- tleman's, and afterwards mutilated and overthrew the entrance-gate pillars of a lady's house, in the same village. Mr. Knight has offered a reward for the apprehension of those pests, whom we believe to be that description of scum that the beer-houses are in the habit of sending forth nightly for the annoyance of their neighbours. WRECK.-NVitliiii the last week a quantity of tanned hides, wax candles, &c. have been thrown up by the sea, on the coast between Boverton and Aberthaw., The weather has for some time past been extremely stormy here, and we expect every day to hear particulars of the wreck. SWANSEA PETTY SESSIONS. Tiec. 10, 1833, Commitments to tlte House of Correction. John Irving, a decently dressed young man, who represented himself to be a mariner aud native of Scotland, was committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions, for stealing a silver watch and silk haudker- chiet, the property of Samuel Davies landlord of the Quiet Lamb public house, Swansea. The prisoner was apprehended at Carmarthen, by Thornton the police officer, and the prosecutor Davies, who met him in the street. The prisoner on seeing prosecutor went up to him and said Mr. Davies 1 have taken your watch, here it is" and immediately gave it up with the handkerchief. The prisoner, who is a tall powerful young man, did not offer the least resistance, or attempt to escape from the custody of the officer. We understand he is respectably connected, and well spoken of by several persons who know him. Jenkin Jenkins, of the parish of Swansea, farmer, was convicted in the mitigated penalty of 5s. with costs, for uot having his name and place of abode painied oil his cart, used on the turnpike road on the 26th ult. contrary to the act of Parliament. John Davis, of Swansea, mason, was fined 51. and iu default of payment was committed to the House of Correction for two months, for assaulting William Lodwick, police officer, whilst in the execution of his duty, on Saturday night last. Letitia Hopkins, and Margaret James, two pros- titutes, were severally committed to the House of Correction to hard labour for seven days, for druuken and riotous behaviour in the streets. THE LATE GALES.—Sunday about 2 P.M. tilti Bristol Steamer being then on her station at Swansea went off to the Mumbles for the purpose of towing in the Elizabeth Clarh, belonging to Messrs. Francis Richardson aud Co. of this place, laden with timber' from St. John's, New Brunswick; which ressel en: counteied » severe gale of wind off the banks of Newfoundland, whereby both her masts were carried away. From thence she was navigated under jury masts, notwithstanding which she made her passage in 26 days. Ju the tremendous sea which carried away her masts, two of the crew were washed over- board and the captain (Alder) much injured for- tunately however the men were soon picked up. Much praise is due to the master and crew for their very arduous exertions and able conduct. The brig Amethyst, from Montreal, which was stranded about a fortniglit ago, in Swansea Bay, laden with flour and grain, for Liverpool, was warped off the sands and towed in by the steam tug be- long-ing to this port, and entered the harbour nearly the same time with the Elizabeth CLark. The pier and sands were thronged wiili spectators all anxious to witness thef gratifying, sight. On Tuesday a brig wrecked off the Mumble Head during the late gale was brought into the harbour with the loss, of her main-mast and bowsprit. The very ingenious exhibitions in glass-blow- iug, by Mr- Dukes, who is about to visit Merthyr, we are iufoimed by our Brecon friends, have afforded the highest gratification to the intelligent inhabitants of that town. They have excited, we understand, the same pleasing sensations in many other places which he has visited. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—On Sunday night last a poor boy of 12 or 13 years old, belonging to one of the Glamorganshire Canal Boats, was drowned near the at Coedpenmaen, Newbridge he had gone out of his boat for a light, and is supposed to have been literally blown into the tail of the lock by the violence of the storm. The poor mother, who has been lately deserted by her husband, lives at Abervan, in the parish of Merthyr'. The name of this unfortunate boy was John Frederick he was a son of Richard Frederick of Abervan. DROWNING- On the same day, John Williams, a finer, aged 30,who had been at a beer shop called the Bunker s Hill, and drank three pints of beer, left the house about 10 o'clock. He was missed that night and all the following day. On Tuesday a concourse ot persons went in search of him, and on Wednesday his body was found in the river Cynon, opposite farm. Though not intoxicated, it is supposed that, having drunk more than beer than usual, he either fell over the iron bridge across the Cynon, or slipped over that steep bank, where the tram road and the river so nearly meet. There was a heavy flood in the river at the time. A ilooll AIAN DROWNED IN A FIT.-On Mon- day morning1 a poor man named William Jones, a native ot Pembrokeshire, who was subject to fits, was on his way from Tredegar to that county, at the side of the Taft, at Merthyr, when unfortunately he was seized with a fit, in consequence of which he fell into the river. There was a high flood at the time, and his body was carried about 100 yards before it could be extricated. He was not quite dead, but notwithstanding able medical assistance was promptly reades-ed,,Jie expired iu a short time.. X)E>TH BY DROWNING.—On the night of IVe-ti- nesday the 4th instant, a poor man named William Saunders, a savyyer, unfortunately in a state of intox- ication, was walking home, his mother leading him, by the side of the Glamorgan Canal, near Newbridge; when by a sudden stagger, he fell into the canal. His afflicted mother used every exertion in her power to rescue him, but unhappily without success. MERTHYR POLICE. Before J. B. BHUCE and W.THOMAS, Esqrs. HIGHWAY ROBUKRY.—DI:c. IO.-William Lewis, Morgan livanfi, and John Lewis, miners, at Cyfartha, were brought to the t'ar on the following charge Jdhn Thonias, miner at Cyfartha,deposed as follows :— On Sunday evening last, about six o'clock, I went to the beer house at Pcnrhiw.in company with William Edwards of Taymawr, his son and some other persons. The three I prisoners asked me if I would go home with them and another person named John Murphy (a Pembrokeshire man). I went with them out of the house, after having been repeatedly asked by THEM to do so. When we came to the Scwrfa, MORTON Kvans insisted upon taking me by the arm WE «ent°in the direction of the mountain the four persons before named were with me. Morgan Evans pretended to be lame and still kept hold of me presently I felt his hand in my right trousers pocket, and I saw him put half-a-crown, which he took out of it, into his waist coat pocket. Jenkin Evans,one of the stewards at Cyfar- tha, has been threatening me that the men would look bad on me" if I brought this business forward.* (An ex- pression of surprize from the bench.) I said Morgan you will repent for doing that. •' Repent shall 1?!' HE said, and then struck me. 1 defended myself AS well as I eoidd I got free from him and then went forward towards the coal level; there were there the three other prisoners and John Murphy. They asked me how it had
DECEMBER 10;
Sinco. this evidence was given, Mr. Evans has com- municated to us through the medium of a triend, that at the time of his recommending this adjustment, he was totally ignorant that any robbery was imputed. That geti- tleinan understood that the case was simply one of quar- rel and common assault, and interposed only in the view of preventing any ill-feeling from growing out of the dis- pute. bcrn with me upon the Twyn J 1 SAID that it had Deeu worse with me than ever it had. Morgan Evanss had bv this time come up, he said I did not strike you. 1 said he had done worse than that, but I was afraid to tell tll,, ,rn whatitwas. ( I alliided to his having i-ol)hed me.) silo,.tly after this JuhnMurphyieft us. Morgan Evans said to lie, mind you don't mention what has happened, or you will be a dead man. I said that he should repent and that he should hear of it before I had slept much lie then struck IDC in the teeth till the blood came. William Lewis said that I lied, for that Morgan had not touched iiie we were then drawing towards a house in the Oid Patch. Morgan then said, here we are near a house, take (-are you don't say what has happened, otherwise you will be a dead man. William Lewis said, if I was in your placr I would murder him, and said to Morgan, you will suffer the law to the utmost, fur he is a De-vil of a knave, therefore' lay on him as much as you can. I called upon John Lewis for G- sake 10 assist tne. He said, he WOIIIIl" IBake no hands" (i. e. have nothing to do) with me, but that his brother Will should do nothing to me. I then ran away, and^Morgan pursued me and caught me by John Ham- mer s level, and began to beat mc as much as he could j he said, I shall never kill you by beating you with my tists, but 1 or my brother David are bound to kill you. When he could not do enough with his fists hs tO;>k hold of the pointer, (a piece of iron, about a foot in length, placed at the angle where two tram-roads join, and hxed on a pivot to turn in whichever direction of the two roads it may be required that the tram should pass.) I then suc- ceeded in throwing him down upon a heap of iron mine, and ran away. The prisoner, Morgan Evans, and I were the only two persons then present. I then escaped to my lodgings, at Wm. Howells, on the Aberdare Hill; I hal- loed as loud as I possibly could as I drew near to my lodg- ings, and Wm. Howell, the occupier of the house, leaped out of his bed, and opened the door to me. Wm. Edwards, of Taymawr, Wm. Richards, of Bryntaeg, and JJhn Thomas, the constable, came to me this morning, at the Angel Inn, and begged me to settle it for pity's sake they told me that the man would pay so as to satisty me, a.(I told me that people would took bad upon me." I said, 1 was afraid Mr. Thomas (the magistrate) would be un- willing. I told them that if I knew Mr. Tb.omas ,would be willing, and I should have my half-crown back again, 1 would. They said, yes, and you shall have two days' work besides, and said that I should be satisfied. I said, that I did not want money from them. I theu went to where prisoners were, and Morgan Evans delivered mo the half-crown and 4.1. for the two days' work. John Thomas told me, the constables had had 5s. a piece, aud a good many other people told me the same thing. Wm. Ed. wards, Taymawr, examined—I am a farmer, John Thomas (the last witness) is my workman, and is a man of good character. He was sober on Sunday evening last, in l'enrhi w beerhouse. Morgan Evans, one of the prisoners, said, they went to the beerhouse to settle some accounts. (Mr. Bruce re- marked, that Sunday was a. very improper day to settle accounts. Where men begin by breaking the sabbath, it is no wonder that they are guilty of other vices.) Prisoner continued On going out of the tavern I did not iay hold of John Thomas's arm. We went through the Scwrfa, as described by the complainant. I was not in a pool of water with him. When I was with John Thomas, by my- self, without the other prisouers, I did nothing to'him. I |>eny haviug put my hand into his pocket. °I did strike "nil, because he said he would like for some man of mv s'Ze to stand before him—(prisoner, who appeared deeply aliected throughout the examination, was iiero indui>'6d with a chair)—he said that he was too handy, that 1 could uot strike him. I said, come, let us try and he put his tist up aud 1 held up mine. 1 never threatened to kill him, nor did I lay hold on the pointer. I did not follow him to John Hammer's level, but we all went there Wether. William Lewis examined. When we left the beer house at Penrhiw, my brother and land Murphy were before, and complainant and Morgan Evans fo.lowed. We might have been 100 yards before. Hearing loud talking BEHIND US, I SAID MEN^ stop, they arc falling ouu John Thomas said, ~No, we are noble friends. 1 heard Morgan Evans say to John Thomas, I struck you, and heard John Thomas say that he did not. Morgan Evans then offered to fight him, and the other accepted the chali lengc.. I heard John Thomas say that Morgan Evans should repent having struck him, and Morgan Evans said he had not struck him. I looked on, and did not see a blow. John Lewis deposed. I heard John Thomas, who was with Morgan Evans behind me in our way hone from the tavern, call out Diafol (Devil) three ujs, and stopped, thinking sOlllctlHngwas the matter, but he assured us that he aud Mergau Evans were good friends. My brother and t were before Morgan Evans and complainaut in our way home, and we again heard loud words as if they were quar- relling. I prevailed upon my brother to wait till they came up, and I again asked tbem if anything was amiss, and the cuaipUiinaat said. No, AND that he was not afraid of Morgan Evans. After this 1 heard John Thomas say that Morgan Evans had struck him he might have done so, but 1 did not see it. When my brother and John Thomas were disputing, I told my brother to leave it alone, and to leave it between him and Morgan. I heard my brother say that John Ihornas was a knave, and tell Morgan, if 1 was in his place I would beat him un thc Devil was out of him. I then said, no, you shan't beat him to night unless you beat me also. I heard shortly after this, John Thomas, as tar as I could understand, cry out, 0 God 0 (Jo4 I 1 went last rifglrt to the complainant's -house to ask fern it he -liad any thing to say against mc he said, nit, but I wish you had prevented Morgan from abusing me. John Murlpiiy-I saw no dispute. I left him before the dispute began. I did not notice him particularly in a dirty condition, we were all very dirty. The complainant bought a pound of cheese and other things (which witness enu- merated) out ot the half crown on Saturday night,, su, how could he have the half crown to be robbed "f John Thomas, constable of Merthyr—1 understood fro the complainant that the prisoners and their friends had been with IU111 endeavouring to make it up, and 1 heard turn say that he was afraid of his life, that if he couid have security that he should be left alone, aud have his hall crown back, ancj have two days' work, he did not tuind it lie-did settle it. I told him he should have substantial bail upon that point. Morgan Evans' brother asked 111 ward and me, m case they made it up, what we ex_ pected to have for the trouble we had had; we said that as we liad been out in the mud the night before, aud keut them in custody all night, five shillings a piece wouhf not be too much. I seat John Thomas to Mr. Taomas to sa) what had been done. Mr. Uruce reproved the witness for consenting to compromise the matter. J uhn nouias, the complainaut, being reminded of the statement just made by the prisoners, said that what lie Mi. twice desired that if any respectable person could testily tnat the complainant was of such character as not to be entitled to credit on his oath in this instance, such testimony "iiofit be brought forward. A witness stated that Morgan Evans was the son of a widow, and had assisted her In maintaining her family for fitteen years, and that he (Morgan Evans) had al ways home a gooil charizeter. The magistrates considered it advisable to send for Win. Howell (at whose house the complainaut lodged) and his wite, and the mistress of the beer house and her servant, to give such evidence as they were able on the case. On the arrival of these witnesses, William Howell deposcrl-J "hn Thomas has lodged in my house about three quarters of a year, he has always bebaved well to me. I was about going to sleep on Sunday eveuing last, when 1 was awakened by hearing the voice of my lodger, John Thomas, calling out eryloud, and begging me for G- sake to open.my door, for that he was r !s I got up out of the bed, opened the door and Je t him m, auU lighted a candle. When I opened the door he appeared in a great haste to come in. When 1 lighted the candle, I saw blood on his face, and mud and 1 on his clothes; he was in a dirty condition I asked hij what was the matter with him, he said that Morgan an the boys with him had been pushing and shoviug hitn and said that he (Morgan) had lobbed him of half a crown from his pockets, and also told me that he had taken the pointer and threatened his life. I never found him out iu a fie; I never saw anything to make me suspect that his intellects were at- all weak. Jane Roberts, servant at the beer house, re-mcuíbcred the parties being there but this witness could give no evidence relevant to the-case. it. Ann Howell, wife of William Howell, corroborated several points of lierhusbaud's testimony, hut "added nothing to it. .1 Jason Thomas said there had been some dispute about matters of poetry, and that complainant was angry with Morgan, and hau said he would •• serve him." (Laugliter.) Complainaut said that ho had once assisted the last witness's master to recover possession of his tools, when that witness had taken them away. After some consultation between the Magistrates, John Lewis was bound on his own recognizance in the sum of 501. to be forthcoming at the trial. William Lewis was oidered to. find good bad Morgan Evans committed for trial, and the complainant bound over to prosecute. Thomas Timothy and David Evans were charged with having stolen a bellows at the Orange Tree, beer house, on Sunday night. Jane Plidlips, the landlady of the beer house, a very reluctant witness, deposed that she had lost a bellows, but refused to swear that thelieilows produced belonged to her. William Williams, deposed tbat Jane Phillips had iden- tified the bellows as her's by a nail, different from the others, which her husband had driven into it. The two prisoners had come on Sunday night to his fatner's house, and David Evans had offered the bellows for sale, saying, he had brought it from his sister's house at Dowlais. Wit- ness's mother advised him not to sell it but to take it back to the place from which he got it, upon which Thomas Timothy held a piece of iron over her head and told ber by G—d if she did not hold her :ongue he would strike her with it. She told them to go out, which they did, striking the window with the iron. Soon a man came in who said these two men were great blackguards, and witness asked where they had come from, and was answered, from the Orange Tree. Witness went thither and enquired if any thing had been lost, and Jane Phillips went into the bacK kitchen, where the prisoners had just before been, and found that the bellows had been taken away. Witness then went to several public-houses in search of the prisoners, whom he at last fouud at the Three Bells, and the bellows at their side. David Evans said in his defence that he went on San- day morning between ten and eleven i..to the Orange free with a sovereign and 4.J. in hi, possession, that he staid there all day and drank away all his money except si pence that tiiere were two abandoned women with hiui and the other prisoner; that the woman with him told him that half of what he gave to her was to he given to the landlady that he was so drunk at the time when lie left the house, that he did not know what he was doing. Thomas 'Timothy also said he was so drunk at the time as not to know what he was about. It appeared that the landlady did not allow them to remain in the house during the hours prohibited by law but gave them beer a short time previously, to drink at the back of the house. The magistrates strongly condemned the conduct of Jane Phillips, and the two prisoners were committed for trial. Thomas Davis, charged with assaulting the wife of Lewis Richards, was sorry for what he had done, was drunk at the time, and meant no harm—ordered to pay costs. Henry Vaughan, charged with riding in his cart without any driving reins, was feelingly admonished by Mr. 15; uce on the dangerous consequences which might have ensued in the town, if his horse had been frightened and run over any person. It being his first offence, he was fined in the mitigated penalty of Is. and costs, with an intimation that the next offence would be visited with the full penalty of 51. and costs. Richard Biddlc, for a like offence, was fined 13. John Davis was charged with an assault on William I Williams, who was then acting as a constable holding in custody the prisoners Evans and limothy above-mentioned. It was proved that the prisoner, an athletic man, came up to Williams and without any provocation, struck him with the back of his hand on the ear till it made his ear ring again." Prisoner said that it was all a joke, but the magis- trates severely reprimanded him for his "joke," and ordered him, for his further amusement, to pay a dav's work to the prosecutor and to the prosecutor's witness, as well as costs. Ann Richards was charged with assaulting Joseph Hanbury. The prosecutor was coming, on Saturday night trom the Ship and Castle, beci-shop, apparently not quite able to preserve his equilibrium, when some misunder- standing took place, which occasioned her to inflict upon him a very scientific punch. According to the prosecutor this vehement operation was quite unprovoked but de- fendant said that what she did was, seeing the man could not proceed on a right line himself, to desire a boy to help him. A witness on behalf of defendant stated that prose- cutor called her by a name which no virtuous woman can hear unmoved, and added to it two epithets most in- tolerably disgusting; upon which she struck him. The magistrates reproved the parties, and ordered them to pay, each half of the costs. Catharine Power was charged with unlawfully detaining a sovereign the property of D.Davis butcher. It appeared that the defendant puihased some meat from the plaintiff, and tendered a sovereign for which he was to give her change. Davis said that he gave the meat and the change, but that she went away without giving him the sovereign. It ap- peared, however, that on this point he had required the assistance of his wife to refresh his ineiiinry upon which the magistrates eonsideredlhe evidence insufficient, and ad- journed the case. DECEMBER 10; RATING RELATIOISS IN AID OF PARISH FUNDS.— The Overseer of Cef penuar, Aberdare, applied in behalf of that parish for a summons against Thomas Jones, a single man, for refusing, to contribute to the relief of his mother, Margaret Jones, widow, formerly of Pantycer- dinen.-The old woman had once occupied a considerable farm, but had been reduced by a scried of misfortunes, and the parish were,paying her.3. a week. Her increasing infirmity required an additional allowance, and the Over- seer called upon her single son to contribute Is. a week in addition to the 3i. When, the Overseer called upon him to do so, he was in a public house at Aberdare. having just finished his second quart, and was calling for a third! lie said he could not afford to give any thing. The ma- gistrates ordered him to pay Is. weekly in addition to the 3s. paid by the parish, and in default to be proceeded against according to law. DECEMBER, 13. THE SMI'GGI.ING CASE.—In the case of David Jones, convicted of smuggling, Robert Daw, Esq. Collector of Customs, sued for the penalty of loot. imposed by 1<9 and 85 sec. of 3 and ,1, William IV. cap. 53, for carrying and conveying smuggled goods. The defendant was convicted in the penalty, and in default of payment, committed to Cardiff Gaol. In this examination he retracted his former designation of his abode, and stated that he lived at Pen- bryn, Cardiganshire. Mr. Bruce expressed his opinion that it would be proper, on the next licensing day, to bring under the notice of the Di-ecousbire magistrates, the con- duct of Roger Vaughan, who told the constables that the parties suspected had left his house at 12, when they had not left till past seven. Mr. Walter Morgan interceded warmly in favour of linger Vaughan, who, he stated, had a large family dependent on his exertions. Mr. Daw said that the offender had nad a warning which he hoped would be effectual; and Mr. ltruce said that the course lie should tak would depend much upon his future conduct. John Charles, otherwise 1. C. Gabriel, was committed for obtaining goods from Messrs. llryant, brewers, Merthyr Tydvjl, in the month of October last, under false pretences, with intent to defraud them of the same. Win., Perrott, of Gelligaer, was fined for being drunk in the magistrate's room, atid also 22s. for profanely cursing and swearing eleven separate oaths in the presence and hearing of the magistrates.

DlONlttOUTHSHIRE.
DlONlttOUTHSHIRE. MONMOUTH.—PRAISEWORTHY CHARITY. — To alleviate distress and contribute to the comiort of our poor deserving fellow creatures, at this par- ticular season of the year is so truly amiable a'nd benevolent, that we feel it our dftty to hold up such conduct to admiration. Active goodness and silent unostentatious cbarity are happily not rare virtues among the females of Britain, so many of whom Do goon by stealth And blush to find it fame." Two recent praiseworthy examples of this sort of charity with which we happen to be acquainted deserve to be mentioned. A lady residing in the forest of Dean, but connected with Monmouth, was one day last week for hours engaged in a draper's shop there, in selecting dttterent articles to distri- bute amongst the poor of her neighbourhood; such as blankets, counterpanes, sheets, flannel, &c. the cost of which, with a number of cloaks and shoes afterwards ordered by the brother of the lady, amounted to nearly sixty pounds.- The week before a lady of high family, living in the village of New- land, near Monmouth, made similar purchases for the like benevolent purpose, amounting to up- wards of forty pounds. To those whose lot is cast in affluence, and who delight in works of charity we may say in the language of Cowley__ h With a fraIl good they wisely buy The solid purchase of eternity." FLOOD.—Owing to the continued rains, we have had a partial flood from the waters of (he river Wye, which rose rapidly on Tuesday night last, and inundated the road leading out of Monmouth towards Ross, to the depth of two or three feet, rendering travelling somewhat unsafe and alarming. This is an evil that might and oughr to be remedied by raising the road, or diverting the course of it, for a mile or a mile aud a half. LONGEVITY.—The united ages of the ten poor men and ten poor women in Mr. Willifm Jones, aini- houses,.Monmouth, amount to more than sixteen hun- dred years. The mother of Mr. Thackwell, watch- maker, a cheerful aud hale-looking old lady, residing with her son in Monmouth, will, we are informed, attain the age of 88 in the month of January next. It is worthy of remark, that, this venerable lady has two widowed sisters, the one 86, the other 82,' and a batchelor. brother 78 year* of age, all iw- the laud -of the livings < ABr,RC.AVEN-NY.-O,U Wednesday last. Anne Thomas and Hannah Davies were convicted before the magistrates on Wednesday the 11th inst. for breaking the hedges of Mr. William Jones, Crosonon, near Abergavenity, filled 10s. each and costs. CFrom a Correspondent.) The establishment of Cymmriegyddion Societies in various parts of the Principality bids fair to attain the object for which they are lritelided. The anticipated Royal Eisteddfod 'n the coming year in Cardiff will give an additional Stimulus to the many that have been already (ormed. One has (within the last few weeks) beenconuuenced in Aber- gavetiny, and numbers amongst its supporters- W. A. Williams, Esq. M.P. B. Hall, Esq. M P and his Lady, Mrs. Wadditigton, of Llanover, W. Morgan, Esq. of Parity Goitre, and Miss Morgan, VV Morgan, Esq.ot Llanwenarth, Lady Greenly, of ritley Court, Herefordshire, &c. &c. As the rules of the Society are not yet published, I can not give you as much information on the subject as I could wish but, from the energy evinced by the officers, there is little doubt it will be conducted with spirit and ability-to those who know them the mere mention of their names will be a sufficient guarantee for the solidity of the institution. Rev. John Evans, of Llanover, President; W. Price, Esq. ot Aberga- venny, Vice-President; Mr. Thomas Be van, oarrier, of Abergavenny, Secretary; Rev. Thos. Price,Rector, Cwmdft, Breconshire, Corresponding Secretary Mr. T. E. Watkins, of Blaenavon, liard; Mr. Thos. Jenkins, of Abergavenny, Librarian, j and Mr. Michael, Treasurer. This Society took its rise in the zealous desire of its Secretary that his native language should be held in higher estimation, and spoken with greater purity, by his countrymen. The members (already amounting to more than 50) meet every fortnight, on which occasion subjects, previously proposed, are discussed, of course in the Welsh language the subject matter of debate on Wednesday, Dec. 1 J, was, < £ which is most to be blamed, the man who, having obtained a portion of knowledge, neglects to use it ? or that man who, having the means of obtaining knowledge, neglects the improvement of those means ?" The subject for the next night is, "Which is the most dangerous charactel"-the thief or the slan- derer." NEUTOIIT, DEC. lo.-Durilig the absence of our Curate, the Rev. Mr. Roberts, Vicar of Christ- church, has officiated at St. Woullos Church for the last two successive Sundays. On both occasions his discourse was taken from the same text, Mathew xxi. 13. All who heard the Rev. gentleman, bear witness to the uncommon disp'ay of talent and eloquence which characterized his exertions. Perhaps all no occasion was a deeper or more favourable impression made on an audience. We are only sorry it is not in our power to furnish our columns with some extracts, for we are assured his seutimeuts would be road and admired by every sincere member of the Church. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY—A deputation from Bristol, of the Bristol and London Railway, met on Thursday at Newport, to take into considera- tion the inllueuce of that improvement upon the prosperity of that town. We have not yet heard the result of their deliberations, but presume they must have been most favourable 10 the undertaking. The trade of this town is at present rather dull; the contrary winds having detained vessels from coming ill, the port appears deseited, but we under- stand there are many orders on baud waiting for shipping. TIIE LATE GALES,—The winds during the past week have been very boisterous, but we are glJd to hear that the shipping from this port has not been seriously injured. The only disaster is the wreck of a collier at the mouth of the river on Saturday last, the crew were saved. It was geuerally reported to have been the Caerleon, a regular tradei- to and frcm Bristol; she however arrived safr ou Sunday. A distressing accident occurred at iilai kwood, about ten miles from Ne.iv port j on Saturday last, to two little girls about the age of 11 and 16, by cross- ing the river over a temporary wooden bridge, put for the convenience of workmen. It is supposed that, by a sudden gust of wind, they were blown olf the bridge when returning from taking their father's din- ner, who was at work in one of the neighbouring collieries. No one saw them fall in, and it was late befure their parents felt any anxiety for them, thinking they were loitering with the neighbours. As night drew near they became alarmed, and, conceiving the result^ traced -their footsteps to the middle of the bridge, and there saw marks of the slipping of the teet. :They were found the next morning about half a mile down the river, which was flooded by the rains a great depth, at other times it is very shallow.
BRECONSHIRE.
BRECONSHIRE. BUILTH.—Mr. Edmund Thomas Lewis, of the town of Builth, gentleman, was last Micliaelmas term re-adu.itted an Attorney of His Majesty's Court of King's Bench at Westminster, and appointed a Com- missioner for taking affidavits in the several counties of Hereford, Monmouth, Glamorgan, Brecon, and Radnor. < GREAT FLOOD IN THE RIVER WYE IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF BUILTH.—The incessant rain on Sunday night caused the river Wye to overflow its banks, and by nine o'clock on Monday morning, the river almost deluged the neighbourhood, being, save one, the largest flood in the memory of the oldest in- habitant, carrying with it almost-every thing within its reach. Great loss, it is feared, will occur to the farmers and graziers generally on the banks of this river. The Groe turnpike gate posts and rails, and the stone wall adjoining, on the Radnorshire side of Builth bridge, wee coinpletely carried away, cutting up the high road, and making chasms in, it more than a yard deep. The Rhayatrer' post was prevented passing, and compelled to delay i»s--progress till early on Tuesday morning. Mr. Jojies, of VVhitehouse, lost four sheep, and had a narrow escape from losing the whole of his flock and teatri of cart horses. At Aber- tihono farm, nine cart horses, ivbre in the greatest jeopardy the whole of Monday,-rjaud several sheep were found drowned on the banks of the river below the bridge upon its receding. The town of Bui!tb being inaccessible from the Radnorshire side, scarcely any market took place on Monday, and being a general rent and tythe day, it caused not a little disappoint- ment to the parties interested in the receipts. iNQ'J.y.ST,—An iuqucsl XV 48 lately held at Broyullis, before Lewis Watkins, Esq. one of the coroners of the county of Breton, ou the body of Hugh Rees, an infant, who died suddenly iu its mother's arms white w'atking' to T.dgat th. Suspicious arose as to the cause of the child's death, but after a most patient examination of witnesses, the Jury re- turned a verdict of—Died by the visitation of God. Ou Monday last an inquest was held before the same coroner and a most respectable jury, at Gorse- wen, iu the upper part of the parish of Ystradfellscy, on the body of Thomas Jones, a fanner, who was fouud in a field adjoining his house. It appeared iu cvi- denee that the deceased, who was upwards of eighty years of age, had been employed in driving cattle llIto some fields that his niece shortly afterwards followed, and discovered him lying on his back ou the ground, foaming at the mouth, aud quite senseless. No sus- picion appearing, the coroner suggested to the jury that the cause of death was tipoplexy. -Verdict ac. cordingly.

MILFOKD.—On Sunday morning last H.M. Revenue Cutter, Wellington, arrived herefrom Dublin, for the purpose of taking in stores and being supplied with a new boat. She will proceed back as 60011 as the weather permits. THE LATE GAtES.-On Thursday piorning last H.M. Post Office Steam Packet Sovereign, Captain Hammond, put back, having eal-i-ied away her paddle boxes and one man washed overboard, who was 20 minutes in the water, but owing to the exertions of the crew was fortunately saved by catching bold of some cork buoys, which were thrown overboard for his assistance. The Racer Tender, under the com- mand of Mr. Collins, of H.ll. Revenue Cutter, Sky- lark, will proceed heuce for Cork the first fair wiud, having undergone a thorough refit here. Tuesday last the mortal reumins of Mr. Charles Morgan, were consigned to thl-ir final resting place, in the family vault of Aberg willy. Thousands of the inhabitants liued the streets through which the pro- cession moved, and the tear of, Mournful-regret mois- teued many an eye, as the hearsp passed, which con- veyed his mortal part to Ihè hfluse appointed for all the living." We never saw people behave with greater decorum, and the highest <-oinplin»ent we ever recollect paid to the memory of a private indivi- dual, was on this mournful occasion paid to the la- mented gentleman who is the subject of this notice. All the shops in town were shut up, in testimony of respect for the deceased, and during the greater part of the day, every street wore the appearance of general mourning. The funera^piW^^ioii oonsisted of t wel ve carriages, filled -wi4b. thc frieiidis dud relatives of the deceased i Sackville Gwynileriull- and John Jones, of Ystrad, Esqrs. being chief wourtiei-s -Car- morthert Journal..

We are' requested by Mr. Sayer, the surveyor, to state that he was fined in the sum of JOs. but not with coits and that the reason the fiue was mitigated was, thdt it was.the first com- plaint ever inftde against the surveyor, who has heid the office for two years-Ibid. HAVERFORDWEST-—On Tuesday last, an in- quest was held oil the body of James John, a lad of 12 years of age. From the evidence adduced, it ap- peared that his eonsin, atso named James John, iu a moment of passion (having a previous quarrel with a person named William Owen,) took from the ground a large stone, and threw it at the latter but the de- ceased, being in a linebet-weert the couteuuiug parties, received the stone ou the forehead, which occasioned a fracture of the skull. He lingered until Friday last, when death put an end to his sufferings. A ver- dict of Manslaughter was returned, and the party de- linquent was committed to prison to take his trial at the next Assizes-II)id.

ST. ANORUW'S I)AY AT DENBIGH.-Oil Satur- day week this day was celebrated at Denbigh by the natives of Old Scotia, and their friends, residing-in that neighbourhood. About seventy gentlemen sat down to sumptuous dinner at the Red Lion Inn, and which was highly creditable to the culinary taste of the worthy host and hostess. After the cloth was drawn, the chairman, appointed by the unanimous voice of the party, was the venerable Dr. Pugh, the well-known lexi-cographer, and who may be justly esteemed the Johnson of Wales. He assumed the '• post of honour" amid general applause. Mr. Hobert Jurner was appointed vice-chairman, the duties of which he fulfilled very efficiently. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were drunk with great devotion, and several eloquent speeches delivered by Aueurin Owen, Esq. and several other gentlemen. Subse- quently a vai-iety of toasts were duly honoured. Among them were Sir Watkin Williams Wynti, Bart, r,. D^°bt. M. Biddulph, M.P. Ex-alderuian Hughes. The Rector of Denbigh, and better health to him, Capt. Heaton, the Denbighshire Yeomanry Cavalry. The memory of Sir Walter Scott Lord Diuorben, Lord Mostyu, Captain Ross, the intrepid navigator, &c. &c. Ihe company separated about half-past eleven, highly delighted with the hilarity and friendship that reigned throughout the evening.
