The year 1005 being sub- tracted from the present year, leaves an interval of time equal to 830 years, during which time it must have accomplished eleven revolutions. On or about the 1st of this month (August) the comet was about 250 millions of miles distant from the earth. About the 1st of September its distance will be within 125 millions of miles; it will rise about midnight in the N.E. and will then be visible till the dawn of day in the eastern heavens. On or about the 3rd of October the comet will be only 42 millions of miles from the earth, and will be seen entering the forefoot of Ursa Major, or the Great Bear; this will be the period of it" greatest bril- liancy and magnitude. About the 8th ot Oc- tober it will approach nearest the earth, being within 28,000,00.) of miles. The nearest approach of the comet to the earth will be between the 7th and 8th of October but it will not reach its perihelion till the 17th of November, or about 40 days after its nearest approach to the earth, which s matter of some regret; for had the coinet been in its perihelion, and at its least distance from the earth, at the same time, a much more magniticent sig-ht of cometary phenomena would have presented itself to our view. Onthe 17th of November it will be about entering the sign Gemini, and its distance from the earth will be about 90,000,000 of miles. The tail will then increase in brilliancy and mag- nitude. The comet will now rise-earlier and earlier every succeeding evening; and its motion be very rapid. About the 20th of November the comet will lose itself in the sun's rays, and it will be in- visible till about the 27th of December, when it will again re-appear at the distance of about 23J millions of miles. Once more it will appi-oacil the earth, and will remain visible till about cither the 7th or 15th of February, when it will lose itself in the voids of space, near the largest star of Centauri, in right a.seen. 14 deg. 9 mill, ;,nd in declination 32 deg. I mln, south. The same comet was in its perihelion about the 12th of March, 1759, and having reached the same point about the 17th of November, l8o5, this shows the time which it has taken lo enjoy itsell in its last circuit round the sun to be about 70 years 8 months —a much greater length 01 time than it has hitherto employed.— Mechanics^ Magazine. The Comet will become visible in every pari of Europe about the latter end of August or begin- ing of September; that is to say, rather more than two months before its arrival at that point where it will be nearest the sun. Its situation, also, will be favonrable to the splendour o its appearance. It will also most. probably be distinguishable by the naked eye, like a star ot the Itst magnitude, but with a duller light than that 01 a planet, and sur- rounded with a pale nebulosity, which will slightly impair its splendour. Oil the night of the third of October, about midnight, it will appear in the east. at an elevation of about 30 degrees: and will be a little abo%,e a line joiilirg tile star called Castor, with the star called a in the Great Bear. Between that hour and sunrise, it will ascend the ifrmament, and will cross the meridian near the zenith of London about sunrise. On the night of the seventh, the comet will approach the well-known constellation of Ursa Major: and between that and the I I th, it will pass directly through the seven conspicuous stars ol that constellation. In our latitude this constellation n^VC1'sets, and, conse- quently the coinet may be looked lor at any j)0ur 0f the night. But the time most favorable for its appearance will be on the seventh, belore the com- mencement. of the morning twilight; on the 9th, at any time in the absence of twilight, when it will pass during the night from the north-west to the north- east, its altitude not, however, exceeding 3'J de- grees; and on the] Ith. after the close of the evening twilight, when it will be seen approaching the con- stellation of the Crown, in a direction a little north of we-t, and at an altitude of about thirty degrees. Towards the end of November, the Comet will plunge among the rays of the sun, and disappear, and will not issue from them on the other side until the end of December. On its departure from the sun, it is doubtful whether it will be visible at all; but, under any circumstances, it cannot remain long apparent. Its next visit will be in 1011. One ol' the circumstances, not the least surprising, con- nected with this Comet, is the magnitude of its orbit. It is a very oblong oval the total length of which is about 36 times the earth's distance from the sun and the greatest breadth about ten times that distance. The earth s distance from the sun is, in round numbers, one hundred millions of miles; the Comet's least distance then will be fifty millions of miles, and its greatest distance three thousand five hundred and fifty millions of miles.

An accident, which might have been attended with serious consequences, occurred as the Duke of Wellington was returningto town on Sunday morning after being present at the ceremony of an investiture of the Hon. Military Order of the Bath at Windsor Castle. Between one and two o'clock oil the above morning, when the Duke's carriage arrived at Knightsbridge, a cab, vvhieh was going in the con- trary direction, anil which was driven oil the wrong tide of the road, came in collision with one of the horses belollging,to his Grace's carriage. Both the vehicles were goiiifj at a very quick rate at the time, and the foremost postilion,on seeing the cab approach called out to the cab driver. The precaution, how- ever, was unattended to, and in a moment afterwards a collision took placp, Olle of the shafts of the cab striking the leader which the postiliou rode wilh slIeh force in the chest as to enter into the body of the poor animal to a considerable depth. The horse was immediately unharnessed by the Duke of Wellillg. ton's orders, and taken into the barracks, where he died in a short time afterwards. The cab driver did not attempt to drive away after the accident, but alighted, rendered all the assistance in his power, and gave his name and the number of his vehicle, in the event of his being called upon to answer any charge which mi-lit be brought against him. A policeman ot the B division was present on the occa- sion, but as the^Duke of Wellington did not give charge of the cabman, he was permitted to proceed on, and his Grace was driven on to Apsley House where he arrived soon afterwards,

COMMUNICATION BETWEEN NEAT11 AND MERTHYR. On Saturday last, the Commissioners and gentlemen interested in the improvement of the communication between Merthyr and Neath perambulate 1 the lines proposed, and leaving the Merthyr and Brecon road at the upper part of Coed y Cymmar. went up the line of the Ffrwd Brook, to Peumailad from thence through the Gwainedd Sychpant by Ogof-fawr. to Caer Howel. From thence bv Waterfall, to Pontneathvaughan, where they were met by the Messrs. Williams of Aberpergwm, Mr Edwards Y aughati and other gentlemen from the western end of the line. The party returned along the line surveyed by Mr Watkins, by way of Trebanog to the Finger Post. They, were unanimously of opinion that the Syc.ipaut and Penmailad line was far preferable, and a compet ent surveyor is now engaged in seeing whether any im- provement on this line can be effected. Mr. Guest was prevented attending bv the illness of Lady Charlotte but Mr Thomas, Mr Morgan of Bodwigiad, Mr Meyrick, Messrs James, and several othei gentle- men went over the grounds, and received the valuable assistance of Mr Llewelyn of Abcrcarne, and Mr Jenkin Rhys of Aberdare. We understand that Mr Williams, Mr Edwards Vaughan, Mr Morgan of Bodwigiad, and Mr Stephen Jones immediately offered to gwc then- land, and afford every other facility towards the accomplish- ment of this most desirable undertaking. The beautiful vallies of Ffrwd and Hepste, the Dinas Rock, and many other most romantic spots will thus be opened to the traveller. We have received the following from a respec- tabic Cori-espoildeiit u s,pt. 3„1, ,ra,. "SlR,-U ullerstandin it is determined upon im- proving the line of road from Merthyr to Cwmneath and that the best line of road will be fixed upon, I beg to call the attention of those interested, to the objections to the line fixed to go bvSjehpant. IVIany persons who arc acquainted with this neighbollrhood for the last 30 years, can remember that in severe winters the snow remains more on the Sychpant line tlIa I it ever has on the present line of road, and that in such weather, delays of a month may be expected, when a lower line will be quite open. There can be no doubt but an excellent line of road may be made from Cwmneath to near Hirwain Works. Following the track proposed '25 years ago by the late Mr Over- ton, for making a tram-road, viz.—from Cwmneath through Cwnicarngist (by the side of the Camnant) fro in thence above Hirwain Works, through the upper end of the Kendon Farm to the Naint, and over the mountain. Following the Cwnitaff side of Cwmflhvd to nearGelly deg. This line will be nearly a mile shorter than the present line, and will do away with all the most objectionable rises from one end of the road to the other.

WAIN FAIR. — EFFIXTS OF THE DUOUGIH.— A full average supply of cattle and horst's was offered for sale at the Wain Fair, on Wednesday last; but our informant assures us that when he left (which in ordinary fairs was at the time that the s-ile of eattle would have been over) only fourteen hcadat cattle had been sold This is, of course, to be attributed to the great dearth ol grass. The demand for lattenuath is verv great, and those who have this scarce article to dispose of may command their prices. COPpgR ORES SOLD AT Mines. 21 ewts. Purchasers. Price.

SEPT. 1.-H.ofwrt Thomas, of the Harp, Caedraw, was charged by William Badger, the younger, nailer, with an assault. It appeared in evidence that the complainant had been often desired by the defendant not to enter his premises, and that on the present occasion he had desired hiiu to quit, which the other neglected to do. The magistrates decided that Robert Thomas was justified 'in turning him out, but adjudged him to pay the costs for using more violence than was necessary. John Phillips was fined 2s. on the information of Edward Roach, for drunkenness. Henry Williams was fined 50s. for an assault on the person, and Is. for a trespass on the clothes of, Harriet Edwards. In the most unprovoked manner Iw had endeavoured to trip up the complainant in the streets, and had beaten her for remonstrating. ru default of payment he was sentenced to seven weeks imprisonment in the House of Correction (one week h:ird labour). Mary Swan, of Dowlais, was fined 5s. and costs for an assault on Gwenllian Williams. Stephen Stephens, fitter-up, Pen-y-darran, was ordered to be commit.ted to the House of Correction for twenty days, for not paving the line and costs for a trespass committed on the workshop of the Pen- y-darran Iron Company. SEPT. 3.—Thomas Rees, miner, Dowlais, was fined 2s. and costs for drunkenness, on the oath of Evan Davies, miner Dowlais. Win. Hopkin, miner, Penydarran, was fined th,) costs for playing at pitch and toss on Sunday the 30th ult. SEPT. 4.—Win. Johnson, a native of Leicester, was committed for trial on a charge of breaking into the Boar's 1 lead, early on the morning- of Monday last, and stealing money therefrom. Ilieophilus Lewis, Three Bells beer house, keeping house for David Davies, was fined 40s. for keeping his house open at unlawful hours. David Davis, miner, Dowlais, was fined 40s. and costs, for assaulting Thomas Williams and John Edwards, in the execution of their duty. A case of bigamv was clearly made out against David Morgan, alias Rees, a parishioner of Glyn- corrwg, who has absconded, both of whose wives ap- peared together this day before the magistrates. He married Alary Singleton, at Glvncorrwg, and Ann James, widow, at Hedwenty. His first wife, after a lapse of 18 years, without hearing of him, married Thomas Lewis, at Penderrin-

ITTOIIMOTTTHGHNR. 1! MONMOUTH-A confirmation was held here Oil Monday last (Aug. 31), by the Bishop of Hereford, when sixteen persons were admitted to that ordinance, viz. :-Molllllouth ü, Goodrich 4, Whitchurch 3, Dix- ton2, Welsh Bieknor 1. The smallness of the number originated in the circumstance of the confirmation being annual, and a very small number of parishes being included in the Monmouth district. It is under- tood that the Over-Mounow part of the town will, in luture, only receive confirmation from the Bishop of l,(Iilff,iii'wliieli(liocese it is considered to be situated. This of course diminishes the numbers at St. Mary's Church, The Bishop expressed his delight at the be- coming deportment of the persons confirmed. MONMOUTH SEPTEMBER FAIR.-At this fair, -1 0 yesterday, (September 4) there was a tolerable shew of useful cattle, but no attendance of strangers, and there seemed to be very little doing when the mail !eft. Fat cows about 5d. per lb., but a slack demand; of steers, there was an indifferent supply prime fat wethers, fetched 5gd. per lb.; inferior mutton, less; store sheep very low. Fiiti.Tiie alarm of a fire in the neighbour- hood of Monmouth, set the inhabitants in a state of agitation again on Saturday morning last, being the third time in the course of one week. Soon after five o'clock, that miwning, a messenger came post-haste into town for assistance; the fire-hell was rung, and four post horses from the Beaufort Arms quickly harnessed to one ol the fire-engines, which reached the rick-vard of Mr Bowen of L'angattock, four miles from Monmouth, where the conflagration was raging, by a quarter past six o'clock. Tile other engine, with a pair of horses, arrived there sliortlv afterwards. By the reports at that time prevalent, hay-rtcks, wheat-ricks, and burns were all involved in destruction; but we are Ilappy to say that, by the strenuous exertions of a ituniber of persons, many in respectable stations of life, who hastened with praise- worthy alacrity to render assistance, the fire was got under without communicating to the buildings, or to a w neat-rick, standing almost close to the two hay- ricks, which the flames had enveloped. The fire pene- trated a considerable way into both these before it was extinguished; but the greater part of the in- terior was saved, which is so sound and good as to leave it doubtful whether the hav could have ignited of itself. a, NEWPORT DOCK. On Mondnv the first meeting of the Proprietors of the Newport Dock Company was held at the King's Head Inn, Newport, Richard Blakeinore, Esq. in the Chair. 1 he greatest part of the shareholders were present, and tiie object for which the meeting was called was very ably adverted to by the Chairman. The different clauses of the Act for calling the first meeting of shareholders, and the appointment of otVieeis were gone into, when the following gentlemen were proposed and agreed to.

Thanks were voted to the Chairman for his able con- duct in the Chair. The proprietors dined together after the meeting at the King's Head Inn. NEWPORT.—Last week an elderly man of this town fell into the canal, and although immediate assistance was given him, he was unfortunately drowned. A jury met and viewed the body and ad- journed to Friday to hear evidence.

M.AItiHED—On Thursday, the 27fh tilt, the Earl of Brecknock, the only son of the Marquis- Camden, was married at Bromley Palace, to Miss Murray, daughter of the Bishop of Rochester and Lady Sarah Murray.—Lord and Lady Brecknock left the Palace soon after the ceremony for Buvham Abbey. The numerous relations and friends of the parties afterwards partook of a magnificent and hos- pitable collation. GROUSE SiloOTING.-Tlie following report of a day's grousing in Scotland, casts into the shade even the best days of Wain Tinker and the Trevells :— The accounts from Mrs Farquarson's (of ltiveroaiild) moors, in Aberdeenshire, are much better than was expected, the grouse being more numerous and full j, grown than, from the unfavourable nature oftheearlv part of the season, could have been looked for; at the same time there is certainly a greater portion of chccpcrs than usual to be met with. The following were killed ()Iltl, 12tll-,riie ],irl ofllopctown and Colonel Hill, on Glancalader, 73 brace the Earl of Darlington and Mr Tisdall, on Gairnshiel, 48 brace, after eleven o'clock; Sir R.

PENDERIN, Al(„ 30. Martha James of Coed-v-eyiner, aged 72, Daniel James, her son, Ann JPhiiiips, his kept mistress, by whom he has three children, and Margaret Phillips, her sister, appeared before M.Morgan, Esq. and the Rev. C. Mayberv, to answer the complaint of Jane Thomas of Coed-y-Cyincr, for an ass-iult. It appeared that the original cause of quarrel was, an observation made by the complainant r. spectiug the immoral conduct of her two near neighbours, the defendants; upon wllich Ann Phiiiips seized her by the hair and cap, andcominenecd kicking her;Mart))a James laid hold of her hand, saying, "Mind her Nanny''—Margaret Phillip giving her a black eye, and Daniel Jones encouraging' ilis "Nanny"' and a buJI dog, which tore the complainant's clothes. The Magistrates severely reprimanded the defen- dants, and fined t.tem in heavy-penalties aNd costs. An intelligent inhabitant of Coed-v-eyiner then observed, that the place was in a deplorable state of demoralization, more particularly so from the practice of beer-shop keepers having their houses open at all times of the night, not even excepting Sundays. The Magistrates expressed their willingness in repressing the nuisance, and granted several summons against the offenders. The Magistrates also expressed their conviction, that the presence of the Vill. Jones, who lately resided there as Curate of Vaynor, but is now removed to his Vicarage in Cardigan, tended materially to check the progress of disorder at Coed-y-eymcr. "## INTENDED LI\F/OF'ROAD FROM MER- THYR TO PON J N" K ATI IVAUG11 AN, (From a Correspondent,) On Saturday last, a number of gentlemen, among whom we noticed W. Meyrick, Esq. W. Thomas, Esq. Mr D. W. James, Mr" H. Jones, Mr J. Llewelli-i^ Mr J. Rees, &c. met at Merthyr, for the purpose of riding over the intended line. Tiiev proceeded by way of Coed-y-Cynier, Penninylert, Sychpant, through Cadlan, to the Lamb Inn, Pcndcriu, where they were joined by M. Morgan, Esq. of Bodwigiad, through whose estate the intended line will run for upwards of two miles. The party proceeded thence to Cilhepste, and by Pontydvnas to Pontneathvaughan, where they were met by Vaughan Edwards, Esq. of Rheola, W. Williams, Esq. of Aberpergwn, Rev. F. Williams, Lyons, Esq. Mr C. James, &c. Tlwmeeting was also attended by Messrs. Brough, Young, and Pearson, surveyors. The merits of the several lines which have been surveyed, and other matters connected with the undertaking, were largely discussed. The gentle- men throu^jj whose estates the line will pass, viz. MrStephen Jones,W. Williams, Esq. M. Morgan, Esq. and N. E. aughan, Esq. in a most handsome and spirited manner, declared their readiness to gin' the land. The surveyors delivered their opinions on the several lines proposed, when there appeared a "ener il impression that the line by Cilhepste, through Pen- l i '1' \i r'ai|r,l' a!1(1 i>l'IHll:iy»'rt, was the most eligi- } l." 1 1 '°weUiii then proposed, in a manner which appeared very disinterested, to survey the dis- trict and point out the best line of road for the aloptionof the Trustees at a future meeting. The partv having partaken of the good cheer of Mr Stephen Jones, remounted their steeds to ride over anothi l line lately surveyed by Mr Watkins of Bre- con, via in as Rock, Sychrhvd, to Trebannog, from whence tney separated, having engaged to meet again at Merthyr on the first Friday h, October next.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GUARDIAN. .dl.. Srn -The mutability and fickleness of the human mind, is a subject which has engaged the deep reflec- tion of both ancients and moderns. Tiie enquiry and researches of all will be futile, if anv attempt is made to fathom the intricate snares of the hlunan breast, to assign a reason for its various and unaccountable im- for NNinquam mens ccrta sede manet." and to establish some fixed principle, by which men in future may be able to trace to the source, the inward workings of tiie breast, I he proceedings of the present day fully declare tins, and for anv man even the wisest philosopher, attempting to "fathom the apparent mysterious motions of the reigning fac- tion, would be useless; for it cannot be doubted but that some ol the members (as many of your readers will allow) are aware o being in error," for in most "Mens sibi conscia recta. Yet it is impossible to account for the proceedings of these men who act contrary to what they know is right. It is allowed where some flattering object is to be attained, the impulses by which men are directed mav in many instances be accounted for yet when in pursuit of that object, circumstances may anti so materially alter the appearance of things as to' make it necessary to use specious arts and low impo- sit ions: as was shewn when ccrtam Members who were accused of being ol tue 1 ail, declared it was through fear they were so; thus they impose on their constituents When men, however have some object in view' something there is which makes that object desirable' since every effect has a cause, so the present Radical Members who compose tne independent Tail, have some object, which it appears they wish to acquire and that object is; popularity-the fickle gale of popuI larity which may bear them proudly on for a dav • but shortly, wh? al)Pe;!ml to touch the heavens-will fall to the ground, despised, avoided, and will quickly be blotted out from tne remembrance of all. They have built their foundation on the sand—the wave's 1lpidly undermine it—and it falls to the ground. I IC, who attempts popularity must conform liiiiiseif to the wishes of those whom Whip dignify by the title of People." To further the licentious wishes of these they are willing to sacrifice the esteem of all just and honorable men, who, it they acted a different part would certainly acquire it. Now the cry is not O,ii profanum vulgus. et arc en," but, after a short xpcrience, I fear it will be. All men who entertain just, honorable, and patriotic senti- ments, (as all gentlemen do), would account it a disgrace to sacrifice their feelings to a veering and Ii- centious multitude, for— Justum et tenacem propositi vinim, Non civium ardor prava Jubciitium IMelite qu.-itit solida. The members of this county, I I-eioice to say, vote according to their feelings 1, however, w ill not say so much for some of our neighbours. The independent Radical tail are egregious'y mistaken when they flat ter themselves, that, acting as they now do, they are performing the parts of patriots.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GUARDIAN. SIRThat particularly veracious (qy. voracious) and never-enough-to-bc-rcspecte'i publication, vcleped The Cambrian, has been pleased, m the counsels of HER wisdom, to ridicule the mcn al state" of the Devonshire farmers, in consequence of their having "floored" the" burning and shining light" that re- presents Fiusburv—The LanccWhen I vvas in Devonshire," says Waklev, canvassing for his (little) Lordship, I was answered by OIH> I se have na Lard J aim Rissell; I'se have na Refarm I'se have iia To another I said, do go up inde- pendelltlv-do not be brought up in the tram of your landlord; to which he replied—'Na!

At the. conclusion of this effort of mimicry, the honourable members before whom this "creature" exhibited s);Iotc" | with convulsions, whether at Waklev, the noble lord, or tue Devonshire freeholder, does not I trust, however, when this "locomotive disseminator" ot aunichy and disloyalty dares intrude himself within the precincts of mv native county, that he will meet with the same repulsive wit and sarcasm from the sturdy yeomen of Devon, which lie experienced when canvassing tor his (tcry little) lordship. I would in- form the Cambrian that my open-hearted countrymen despise the men who advocate a system which would pi eelude them from making that array before their friends and neighbours, which the High-street of Exeter presented at the last election. ;:1 No secret voting for them, they will vote for their benefactors, spite of the ballot, or any such ruffian/i/. humbug.

LITERARY .XOTICE. "OBSERVATIONS ON TIIE ADVANTAGES OF JOINT STOCK BANKS."—Bird, Cardiff. A sensible and clearly written pamphlet has just reached us, bearing the above title, which, under the advantages of brevity and cheapness, exliibits the utility of the Joint Stock Banking system in a plain and perspicuous manner. WTe cordially recommend it to the notice of agri- culturists and commercial men. We will not injure the work by extracting from it more than the following forcible passage :—• ( Vide pp. 8, 9, 10," 11.) It must be acknowledged, that to secure to the public all the advantages of banking, witho'it subjecting them to the desolation which panics have produced, the^system -hitherto pursued in England by private banking, has proved ineiffcient, For louking uack 0, er the last forty years, these panics seem to have peiiodically set in with the devactat n^- violence of a hurricane. Iu'1793 twenty- six private hanks became bankrupt. In ISl4, 1815, and tStC,there were 92. Between 1816 and 1S25 02 and in | foar months, ending in February 132fi, 59 In the whole ot" that period, no less than 400 country Banks had been declared bankrupt; and to these, upon undisputed au- thority, are to be added ],200 cases of composition, and suspended and protracted payments. At last the tre- mendous crisis of IS25 opened our eyes to past evils, and the broad and simple fuc. stared us in the face, that during all the vicissitudes which had attended banking in England, SCOTLAND HAD BL'.EN L-XEMPT FROM THF.M; and tho epidemic which had raged amongst the Banks in England, involving in one common calamit3, the healthy and infirm, hid been stated, as if by a talisman, at the border. I he truth was then pcrceived, and is universally acknowledged, that, the Security of the Scotch Banks gnose from their being JOINT STOCK COM- PANIES, w. icb, from the amount of their capital, and the number of shareholders, afford the public the strongest and most satisfactory guarantee from eventual loss that can possibly be devised, while at the same time the pllh- licity of their atTairs firmly fixes the public confidence. The directors of such companies render annually an account'of their stewardship, and declare a dividend of the profits they have made and it is beyond the limits of possible fraud that they should do this otherwise than honestly. With private Banks, on the contrary, pub- licity is unattainable j and as there cannot be any satis- factory mode of ascertaining their capital or prosperity, the sir >ng are liable in periods of alarm, to the same distrust as the weaker establishments. This grievous contrast between the the Scotch and English Banks, in point of security, was pressed so ss- verelv on our attention by the phenomena of the last panic, that we began not only to desire an improvement, but to comprehend the means of it and the Government, as was their duty und policy, so far concurred in this disposition of the public, so far concurred in this dis- position of the public, as to effect such an alteration in the Charter of the Bank of England, as permitted the establishment of Joint Stock Banking Companies in England; and in 1S2G an Act was passed expressly for 'l'6 l'080- In bringing forward the measure, it may a soi be observe'), that Government calculated upon the leadIng people throughout the country being desirous to promote these undertakings. Sir Robert Peel observed a discussing it, that "lie was sanguine in the hope that gentlemen of property would be found, many more than enough, to execute the proposed measure, (for legal- izing the establishment of Joint Stock Banks,) who would be actuated not by the mere desire of profit, but by the wish to see a better, firmer, and more useful ,;),steiii of baiikii)g in tieir (iistl-I:cti

MANCHESTER OPERATIVE CONSERVA- TIVE ASSOCIATION. The members oftliis society, composed entirely of the working classes, held a public, supper, at the Manor Court Room, Manchester, on Monday week, when four hundred were present. A great many tickets were refused for want of sufficient space to accommodate the app] ieants. The room was decorated for the occasion with flags and union jacks, and behind the Chairman's seat was displayed a large transpa- rency of ltisGraee the Duke of Wellington, which was surmounted by an excellent portrait of the late Sir Robert Peel.' A full band of music was in attend- ance, and all the arrangements, which were entirely under the controul of a committee of operatives, were most orderlv and creditable to them. The speeches on this interesting occasion arc reported in the Manchester Courier, and are very creditable to the parties who deli%-ered tliciii.-Allioll, the toasts were the followill The Polar Star of ttie British fair, the brightest jewel of the Crown, Her Majesty Queen Adelaide; and may she live IOI!g to CIIJOy health and happl,cs. (I une 'The Queen and Old England for ever.") The Presumptive Heiress of ihe Throne, the Princess Victoria, may wisdom direct her, prudence protect her, and Britons respect her with ihe remainder of the Uoyal Fainilv. ( Hail! Star of Brunswick.") Our glorious Constitution in Onurch and !"tute; aid may the noble machine framed by our ancestors never be put out of order by unskilful workmen." The House of Peers, and may they ever niain-ain their independence."—(Tremendous cheering, and after it had subsided the company again rose and siave one cheer moie for the conduct of the Peers on the Corporation Bill. The Chairman gave—"That matchless hero, and trulv-named Greatest Captain of the Age,' his Grace the Duke of Wellington."—(The toast was received with the most enthusiastic applause, which continued for several minutes.)—Tune, "See the con- quering Hero comes," after which the cheering was renewed in the most enthusiastic, manner. Mr Rennet, an old soldier, responded to this toast. —I rise, he said with peculiar pleasure, to return my sincere thanks for the very grateful manner in which you have done such early honor to our infant society, by drinking the health of so illustrious, so invincible a'patriot. The bright fame of his Grace, the Duke of Wellington, has long resounded through every corner of the wodel; and his mighty deeds, and trall- sceiidant abilities will long illustrate the brightest pages of British history, and be handed down in never- fading colours to posterity of the latest ages. (Cheers.) The arrangiiicnts of the evening will not -J- allow me to refer at length to his great military career, Ni'lli(-Il i. I doubt not, known to many of you, never- theless, I beg to remind you that he entered the army in the humble character of Ensign- Wellesiev, of the 41st, in the year I787. In 1793, he was Lieutenant- ( olonel of the 33rd Regiment of Foot, andf'under Lord Moira, accompanied the expeditions to Britannv Ostend, Flushing, and Holland, and lie it was, who, at the head of three battalions, covered all the great military movements of the British army, during the disastrous retreat of the revered and much lamented late Duke of York. After performing the verv severe campaigns of 1794, and 1795, to the entire satisfaction of all his military superiors, Colonel Welleslev, with the 33d, was sent out to India, to assist in protecting the company's territories when menaced by the French army under Buonaparte in Egypt, Tippoo Sultan, and many other petty chiefs. And under the command of General I 1-irrisi, entered th Mysore territory, and at that early period of his life formed one of his general's military council. Alter one or two victorious battles came the storming of Seringapatam, when Colonel Welleslev was appointed governor of the newly-acquired pro- vince. He soon bad to encounter a free-booter, caUed Dhoondiah Waugh, at the bead of 5,000 ca- valry, and with only four weak regiments drawn up in single line, he completely defeated them and slew their leader. He next signalised himself in the Mahratta war, where he also performed prodigies of valour, and was hailed as a protector and preserver even in an enemy's country. After being actively employed in the Hindostan campaigns, he finally fought and gained the glorious victory of Assttye, although his enemies were ten to one in number against him, with 100 pieces of cannon, and every thing complete. For his brilliant achievements in India, the thanks of both Houses of Parliament were voted to him, and he was created a Knight of the Bath by his King-a mona- ment was erected at Calcutta-the inhabitants of the citv presented him with a splendid sword, and the officers of 11 is own regiment wirfi a golden vase, and he returned to England the ad miration of his country. He also accompanied Lord Cathcart to the continent, with command of a brigade; was returned for New- port, and took his seat in the Common's House of Parliament; was appointed Cllief Secretary of Ire- land, under the Duke of Richmond, but relinquished his seat at the council board of Dublin, for the com- mand of a brigade destined against the Danish capital, Copenhagen, in the operations of which only one battle was fought, and in that he commanded. In two hours lie entirely defeated the Daiiish army, took ..&;j 'I: sixty officers and 1,000 men prisoners, will, ten pieces 01 cannon. He soon after had to contend with all the able, experienced, and victorious French Generals, iu Portugal and in Spain, and he beat them all one after another. Junot, at Ooeulos, battle of Roleia and Vnneirn. Sou t, lie beat at Grigo, drove him over the Douro, loilowed bun across that broad and rapid stream, destroyed all his materiel, and he and his brave companions in arms, actually partook of the dinners which Soult and his troops "had prepared for themselves. He then wheeled about to face General Victor, and fight and gain the battle of Talavera. e .1 Massena he beat at Busaco, and at Torres Vcdras he baffled tiie power of all the French empire. He gained the battle of Fucntes d'Onore, took Cuidad Roderigo and Badajos by storm, and nil these opera- tions were performed, although the enemy were two to one in number. Salamnica, Vittoria," St. Sebas- tian, the Pyrenees, and the Bidasoa, all bound fresh laurels round his brow; also the Nive and Nivelle then followed Orthes and Toulouse. In fact the bells were continually ringing for victory* after vietory and the great promoter of all these rejoicings received the unanimous thanks of the nation, in person, w ithin the walls of the British Senate House. (Cheers.) As a final triumph to his numerous victories, he fought and defeated the great Napoleon Bonaparte himself at the memorable battle of Waterloo, by which Europe was saved from thraldom, and Great Britain exists as a nation. (Loud cheers.) Is there a man who has not heard of Waterloo? (Loud and con- tinued applause.) This was a eloscr, for it so com- pletely destroyed the French high-pressure war steam- engine, that although more than twenty vears havo elapsed since the happy event took place, neither the whole French nation, nor our own knob-stick me- chanics to help them, have been able to reform it or set it to work again, and I hope never will. 1 cannot but thank you again for your kind indulgent atten- tion. and rest assured, a good old soldier will always do his duty. (Cheers.) The next toast was, "The late foreman of the lower shop, the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, (three times three cheers, followed by- long continued and deafening applause, which for several minutes pre- vented the Chairman from adding the remainder of the toast,) and the Conservative Members of the House of Commons." The enthusiasm with which this toast was drank surpassed everything of the kind that we ever witnessed on any former occasion, and our only regret is, that the Right lion. Baronet was not present to witness the estimation in which lie is held bv tho loyal operatives of Manchester. A Mr Dutton acknowledged the toast, in a speech replete with sound sense. "The land we live in." (Cheers.1) Song bv one of the members, the burden of which Was- Reformation but not revolution, On our banners be proudly displace! Our King and our free Constitution, And success to our commerce and trade." "The Earl of Eldon, that staunch supporter of Conservative principles." (Drunk with enthusiastic cheers) "The Right Rev. the Bishop, and the Rev. the Clergy of the Diocese. (Drunk with three times three. Mr Marshall responded to this toast, and in tho course of a long and most animated address, said, look at the Rev. Hugh Stowell, of Christ Church, Sal ford. (Cheers.) Look at that worthy man hunting through the lanes and back streets of his district) carrying every spiritual consolation into the bosom of in any a poor family, and then tell me whether you can find any thing like it in Popery or Socinianism, or in Atheistical doctrines? (Let me IICXT (lireet votir zittc-ii- tion to St. Andrews' Church, and the labours of a young man in that district, the RevG. Dugard. (Lowl cheering.) As I said before, I am stating facts and I defy eontradietion-I live opposite to him, and tiiere is nothing but a bare croft between us, which in winter, is often ancle deep in mud. Through this I have seen hilll wade, in the most inclement weather to a dungeon eight or ten feet below the earth, to find out the poor of his congregation—(loud cheers) where a bare sofa was their only bed, and a butter- tub, in winch they washed their' clothes, w as turned upside down to form their only table. (Loud cheers.) Such, my friends, is the conduct of the vouno- Clergy- men in Manchester, and yet we are told that they are wallowing in wealth and luxury, when I can find vou operatives here in this room who are receiving more for their labours than the Clergy are. (Loud cheers.) As a workman myself I here solemnly rebut tho charge, and I declare my conviction that the Clergy arc thus belioci, because there is 110 class of men wiio have been so successful in destroying the sophistries of the Infidel, Socinian, and Popish crew by whom they are assailed. (Cheers.) He concluded by allu- ding to the conduct of the Rev. John llaekett, who preached in the time of Oliver Cromwell, and said, may the Clergy of the present day be actuated by the same spirit of fervency in support of the Gospcl; may they be found maintaining their standard in defence of the Bible and the Crown, and when it comes to the point, they will find that there plenty of iliell- *• \Vith hearts resolved, and hands prepared The blessings they enjoy to guard." (The delivery of this speech was followed by three times three cheers- and other marks of applause which continued for several minutes.) The proceedings throughout were conducted with a degree of order and regularity which reflects the highest credit upon the members of the assoeiatioll; and their only cause for regret was, that time would not allow many who had expecied to be called upon to speak, to deliver their sentiments on the oc- casion.
