We ask in what point does the promise of payment to a Clergyman -liftVr from the promise of payment to anv other-nan. As to the remaining Limho, the imaginary grievance, the presumed hardship of the Papist supporting a Protestant Church while lie has also to support his own, this, every man who knows any thing of Ireland, knows to he a con- temptible fiction. It is perfectly ascertained that nineteen twentieths of the Land belong to Protestant Gentlemen and it is palpable thai in Ireland, a country where the land is nearly the only source of rent, the peasantry bein, a'] labourers, the Landlord is the man who virtually pays the tithe-for when the Land is tithe-fiee. the Landlord always demands an increase of rent at least equivalent to the tithe, and gene- rally much more than equivalent, and much more rigidly collected. Thus this fiction vanishes. The whole matter would be indeed too palpably absurd to be worth remarking on, except that the paper in question pronounces itself an organ of the Government, and is clearly anxious to figure as the advocate of Government niiixlins.-If r'apist conscience, delicate to the extent of cheating hy conspiracy, be the rule,-THEN HEAVEN HELP THE COUNTRY.

The melodrame of the "Death's Head and Jross Bones" is going on with great effect in Ireland. It is now announced, and by the Journals which call themselves Ministerial, that the "passive resistance" is now extending to the refusal to pay rent The Courier pronounces, in the calmest manner, that it is neither sur- prised at. nor can regret, this i I) tell igence, adding that the landlords have, generally speaking, so conducted themselves towards their cottiers and dependents-our only wonder is a resistance to rent did not begin many years ago." So! this is the confession at last! And the point which we have been pressing on the ears of the Government and the country from the beginning, is acknowledged, after countless denials, to be deniable no longer. There is a conspiracy, and a wide one too, among the finest pisantry under the sun," against paying their dues to the landlord. Nothing can be more natural. The law which orders the pay- ment of the Clergyman's right is the very same law which orders payment to the Landlord. If in the one instance, it can be defied, why is it to be reverenced in the instance of the other ? Law is a shadow of a shade, except where it can be enforced. But if there be only two ways, military force and civil force, by which it is pos- sible for law to be carried into effect, Ministers have said, in the case of tithes, that the soldiery shall not be employed, and the peasantry have said that the bailiff who is employed shall have his brains beaten out. Thus the law of tithes is the shadow of a shade, having advanced this 11 Step to liberty, what shall stol) the liberators t the next? The brains of a bailiff distraining for rent are as easily beaten out as those of a bailiff distraining for tithes; and the object in the for- mer instance is worth ten times or twenty times the other. Indulge the free-borii with the right of keeping their rent for their own pleasure, and they are secure of estates at once, and at no slighter trotible tiiiiii ringing haif-a-ilozeti chape bell., to sumnipu a few thousand of the inspired and patriotic sons, and murdering every servant of the law, or of the landlord who ventures to doubt the legitimacy of the proceeding. The thing is done week by week and day by day.- But what is to hinder the extension of the ex- periment to the taxes. No man laves them much —the resistance would be merely an effect of the agitating principle. The blood of an excise- man would be as easily reached by a knife or a club as that of any bailiff, tithing-man, or land- lord in the island. So much for the general pacification.

While Merthyr is glorying in her present un- exampled prosperity, while visions of im- portance and grandeur are hourly becoming realised, which, had they been entertained hall a century ago, would have been pronounced extravagant or ridiculous, how is it that while her Wealth an 1 population place her far above any other town in the Principality, she is yet miserably inferior to many smaller and poorer, though in so many points more compact places of public accomodation and convenience. We have already given several hints for local improvements, some of which have been adopted and some neglected. We now proceed to call the attention of our fellow-townsmen to another deficiency which calls strongly for redress, and which, if remedied, would, we are certain, be found to be of the greatest advantage, not only to Merthyr in particular, but generally to the whole county. We allude to the want of a res- pectable Lock-up House at Merthyr. The two apartments at present used for that purpose are damp, insecure, and inconveniently situated; they argue a want of proper humanity to the prisoners, of carelessness and inattention to public interests and the preservation of public property and public peace. In redressing this evil, the Merthyr Rate-payers are greatly con- cerned, even in their character of contributors to the County Rate, to forward such a plan.- The Chairman of the Quarter Sessions said, that if Merthyr would come forward, he would enter a motion that the County shoull vote a large proportion towards the expense. It would be an act of economy and of saving to the County itself to erect such a building entirely as an expense of nearly £ 200 a year, charge- able on the County Rate, is incurred in the con- veyance of prisoners from Merthyr to Cardiff, which expense would be thus avoided; and Merthyr would have the advantage of the money spent in their maintenance,—of a secure prison for offenders—and the saving of their propor- tion of the County Rate.—If the "proposed tlarkei-house is to be built, then indeed a Town uall. with the 1 uilding in question, might be beneficially united; the latter to be under, or attached to the former. But, at any rate, we earnestly recommend the adoption of some plan,—of something which may be worthy of, and equal to the vast population and increasing wants of this important manufacturing town and district. They have a large House of Cor- rection at Swafitea, which is less populous, and certainly not more abundant in criminals 'ban Merthyr. Tile County will never be in a better situation for this undertaking than at this pre- sent moment, when it will he saved nearly £500 a year in the abstraction of half tilf- expense "f criminal prosecutions, and the WHOLE of the expense of the conveyance of convicts Woolwich-—both of which will henceforward be defrayed from the public revenue. We strongly recommend these observations to the notice of our active fellow-townsmen and we hope that they may not be '0 lost in the con- templation of their present gigantic and dazzling schemes of aggrandisement, so absorbed in the whirl and bustle of personal and political eleva- tion, as to overjook the less shining, but not less needful, or less useful improvement which we have suggested.

The young Queen of Portugal was married a week or two since, just as one Lord Chancellor has been substituted for three Lords Commis- sioners, and the wife of Sir John Campbell made a Peeress, preparatory to the opening of the Session." Love seems to have had as lit le to do with the one as with the other. The little Qlleen has never seen her litisl)aitd-tlie husband has neverseen the little Queen. The Dukeof lYrceira is at present only the image of matrimony which has been otrered to the eye of t his six months widow; the husband, probably, does not speak a Syllable of her language, nor would know his wife among ten thousand; the wife, prohably, does not know Teutonic enough to ask him his name, and certainly would not recognize her Lord and Master among any regiment of the heavy dragoons of his Imperal Majesty, in whose service so many of his brothers have earned their five shillings a day. Suf-harethe sentimental enjoyments of crown wearers- Any thing undoubtedly is better than the marriage which the unfortunate little Sovereign so nar- rowly escaped with the brother of t"> her dead husband a notion, too repulsive to be thought of, always except in a land of Popery or than the marriage with Don Miguel, a marriage for which Popery alone, violating every feeling of nature and religion, has so often found a dispen- sation in the Popish realms of Spain and Portu- gal. But what dispensation, for what insults to the law of nature and morality, will ever be refused by Rome when the money is at hand r is it a judgment that these abominable mar- riages have generally produced an idiot or an p insane offspring ? But, without tijis (leel) viola- tion of all feeling, who can augur good of the gross perversion of marriage implied in an union, divested of all personal regard, and governed solely by worldly motives. The little Queen makes no secret of her sentiments on the sub- ject, and tells the people she has considered only the interests of the country, and silenced before that consideration all oilier feelings ivhate-r." The husband, without using the same words, very fully grasps the same ideas, by deferring his visit to his bride until the time when he can move comfortably, britchska and all, oil his sum. mer tour from Saxe Coburg and reach his people, his place, and his spouse, in the flowery month of May. What will our English Minis- ters say to this ?

Again we are reluctantly compelled to allude to the horrors daily perpetrated by the Spanish Liberals. The last accounts give the particulars of the ma-sacre of the prisoners of war, and prisoners on suspicion, at Barcelona, worthy of the most "glorious days" of theFrench Re volution -we mean Revolution A, 1. 1792. Ibe "people at Barcelona, in the presence of a large garrison, and assisted, according to custom, by the vational Guard, broke open the prisons, put the inmates to death, with cries of long live our innocent Queen," carried a Colonel nell's body about as a standard, and finished rhe evening" with the utmost harmollv and COII- viviality," by burning it in the public square with music and Tbe Rodney. British man-of-war, Capt. Hyde Parker, was in he port during these proceedings. When how- ever, the next day. the mob wanted to proclaim the constitution of 1812, Capt. Parker threatened to quit the port, and offered to land his men to help the rVhig governor to put down the Bar- celona Radicals. Thanks to the Rodney's 32 pounders, "order now reigns in Barcelona." General Mina, of course, arrived in all liiiste when all was 0\ er. and got back aain as fast as lIe could to his valorous troops. It aplwars that Don Carlos has already a corps of English deserters, com- manded by an officer of distinction. We sbou'd be glad to know what our "esteemed friends" at Neath, and the other members of the Peace Society, think of these doings ? It certainly may be non intervention, but it has a wonderful resemblance to war in disguise." At present the understanding seems to be that the English mercenaries and deserters shall do all the fight- ing, and the English navy superintend the Republican gaol deliveries, the whole under the able management of that ditinguished member of the Derrynane and Downing Street Grand Junction Company, Lord Palmerston.

Letters and papers from the Carnccas, to the 6th of December have been received. They have some official despatches which relate to the submission of General Monagas and others of the rebellious chiefs. It appears that the insur- rection which seems to have been purely of a military character, has been entirely suppressed, although with difficulty. It has bad the %ne- cessary consequence of rendering the mainte- nance of an armed force by the State extremely unpopular amongst the V enezuelans. The question of its utility has been much discussed, and, strangely enough, in a land where the Exe- cutive is already weak, and has always been so, and where much of disturbance and hloodsllcd has arisen inconsequence the question has been settled in the negative. Government have it in contemplation to dismiss the whole of the vi standing army! The next dlSIrJlSStl will Le that of the Government. It is proposed to lia, e a militia, to be "instituted on an impartial and comprehensive plan''—which means, we pre- sume, the very impartial plan of the Llaneros of former days, who, composed the Militia of that country—viz. to profess to fight when they wanted arms and clotliiiit- and is soon as these were obtained, to desert and form themselves into banditti that scourged the country or to Occasionally enlist under the temporary banner of any disappointed and ambitious leader who wished to subvert the existing Government and raise himself into power. Extract of a letter from New Brunswick, Dec. 3, Our whole population is in agitation 11 about the timber duties, as recommended to be altered by the Committee of the House of Com- mons, and though it is evident that it will de- stroy this trade, which is the main stay of the country, people are most industriously at work ill logging for tbe saw mills, the only business the farmers and labourers ('an turn to at this season they will labour at it to the last moment, .'Ollle speculators have turned the heads of our men of business; and banks, chartered mill companies, both Royal and vJolonial, china companies, rail- roads. canals, steam-mills, steam-boats, &c. are all in contemplation, with capitals five times more than the fee simple of the colony is worth. The deputies or commissioners of our New lirnnswick Land Company are at a difference, and are going home to the directors." The following is an extract of a letter from an officer of rank in the British Legion in Spain, dated Vittoria, Dec. 25, 1835: Here we are drilling and blazing away at the targets preparatory to shooting the Carlists; I do not know cxaetly when we shall take the field; General Evans is at present at Pampeluna with Cordova and the Minister of War, concocting, I suppose, the plan of the campaigu: we hope this will not take place until the weatiier moderates. The cold here is beyond all bearing, especially as there are no fire-places in Spain. Take my word that there will be broken heads in Spain ere two months are over. Carlos has 25,000 men within two leagues of us. We never go out to drill without seeing some of their gentry, who, if at a mile distance, let drive A us Q lflt us know their onjskets are loaded.

Mr Talbot and his bride arrived at Penrice Castle the beginning of last week, to the great satis- faction of his Gower tenantry, who, as well as all the poorer inhabitants of tlie nieghbourhood, have received so may advantages from the residence of the Penrice family in that district. A report is current among them (and wcbelieve it is founded in fact) that Lady Charlotte lalbot is maternally of Welsh extraction—and that St. George Jeffreys, Esq., of the county of Cork, the father of the Countess of Glengall, is descended from a Brecknockshire family. His other daughter (the Countess's eldest sister) is the present Marchioness of W estmeath. Sir Christopher and Lady Mary Cole and Miss Talbot, are staying at the Cottage, Margam.

It will be in the recollection of many persons in Merthyr, that some months ago a large fiarty rather unexpectedly, took a certain good-humoured and coinelv-Iooking landlady in Merthyr bv surprise in favouring her with a "drop in" to her establishment. Their demand for bottled porter was vociferous and liheral-her desire to accommodate her customers was great and laudable. The good lady, in her haste, drew the cork but bad forgotten the glasses, the porter was gay it fizzed and bounced and frothed like as many tailors at a political meeting—what to do the lady knew not, but in her anxiety to save tne precious fluid she popped her finger into tne mouth of the vessel. The porter irritated at being pent up against its will fizzed bravely—the fizzing and whiz- zing was prolonged,the finger was pushed more violently in, the good landlady stared to see the noise she had t' made, like Frankenstein, afraid of the monster of her own creation. At leilgtil the glasses came—the finger was withdrawn-but I the power of the liquid had been all spent in fi-otit -out it came a dirty-look- ing flat and miserable potion, that no one would deign to notice. Just so has been tne progress and the re- sult of the Birmingham Pol tical Union. It has fizzed and blurted forth its froth, and when the froth was gone there was nothing to he seen but the dirt. CORONERS INQUEST. On Monday last, an inquest was held at the Old Angel Inn, Merthyr, before Lewis Reece, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Mary Rosser, who was found drowned in a small brook near Perthi Gleision, in the parish of Merthyr Tydvil. The deceased, it appeared from the evidence adduced, had lived as servant in the house of Mr John Williams, farmer, upwards of nine years, and was much esteemed by her master and mistress, and by all who knew her. She had been seduced by Morgan Powell, a fellow-servant living in the same house, by whom she was considerably advanced in pregnancy. Morgan Powoll, it appeared, had trifled with her feelings in a most heartless manner, by promising from time, to time to put up the banns of their marriage in Merthyr Church, but which, it seemed, he never intended to do. On Tnursday morning last, having endured on the pre- vious night a fresh disappointment basely inflicted on her by her seducer, and having had, at an early hour on that morning, some conversation with him in which Morgan Powell hinted a wish that she should leave her service and go to some other place, the deceased, who was mil king at the time, went with her pail of milk, into the kitchen, where she laid it down, and from thence to the brook where she was found. The unfortunate girl wasdiscovered lying-on her back in the watpr, which was barely enough to cover her, with her mouth immediately under a water-spout, and a bruise was observed under her caiu. Some circumstances of rather a suspicious charac- ter appearing in the evidence, the inquest was ad- jourttedti)) half-past five o'clock in the afternoon to enable Mr, Williams, the mistress of the deceased to attend. From the evidence of the latter it was shown that the deceased had been low-spirited since her dis- covery of the faithlessness of Powell, and that she had said that she "must do away with herself, for that she could not bear to look any one in the face." The bruise under the chin of the deceased was sup- posed to be caused by her being laid upon a hand- barrow, with her face downwards, in order to convey her to the house. Under these circumsanccs the Jury returned a verdict" That the dec-eased, Mary Rosser, drowned herself in a fit of temporary insanity, caused by the conduct of Morgan Powell towards her. The want of feeling and extreme apathy of tlie brutal seducer was visible to all present. Tne Coroner very pro- perly rebuked him, in terms of strong indignation, for his base treatment of the deceased, and observed that Jie, Morgan Powell, was morally as guiltv of the de- ceased's death as if he had inflicted it with his own hands, and that be he had, probably, driven her to do it Jicrsvif, wanting sufficient physical courage ou his a 0 own part to accomplish the end he desired. The object of these remarks listened to them with the utmost indifference. The whole of the Jury concurred in the opinion expressed by the Coroner. The master and mistress had behaved very k-iiid I ytow-irds the deceased: the latter had offered her the advantage of being confined in the house, a.nd said she should want for nothing, a fact which speaks volumes both for the humanity of Mrs Williams and the worth of the unhappy girl, whose fine feelings would not allow her to brook the shame so wantonly inflicted upon her. The father of the deceased, a small farmer, was present, and spoke in terms of exceeding propriety and good feeling on the unhappy occurrence, and the utter want of consideration shewn by Powell. Every thing, however, failed to make any impression upon the latter, who exhibited a more perfect picture of hardened callousness than we ever witnessed, or than we could have contemplated. The deceased was 23 years of age, and is said to have been very handsome. It is reported that the object of Powell was to marry his master's daughter. Another inquest Was also held at the Angel fun, before Lewis Reece, Esq. Coroner, on Wednes- day evening last, to enquire into the cause of David Lewis, a labourer in the employ of the Plymouth Iron Company, who was found drowned in a water course leading from the. Plymouth Works to the river Taff. The deceased, it appeared, had been drinking on the night of Sunday hist, but'was not drunk, and entered into some conversation with Thomas Oliver, a fellow workman, respecting a widow named Eleanor Lewis, in whose eyes each of the rivals imagined lie he had gained most favor. They went to the window of the widow in question late on Sunday night, but she did not feel inclined to get up, and desired them to de- part in peace. Thomas Oliver left the deceased, who, it seemed, returned to the widow's abode, but with no better success than before. After this the deceased must have slipped into the water-course, and must have been, by the force of the stream, driven through the culvert, in which there were several old bottoms of furnaces, &c. which tore all his clothes and bruised his head. When found, his hands were placed before his face, over which his shirt was drawn. 1 here was not the least reason to suppose that the deceased's death was caused otherwise than by accident, and the Jury returned a verdict of Found drowned. MERTILYII POLICE, (Before J. B. BRUCE and W. THOMAS, Esqrs.) JAN. 22.—Ann Lewis was ordered to pay 14s. value of goods fraudulently removed from the premises of Mr Henry Jones. Thomas Jones, Shoemaker, Dowlais, was fined 2s. and costs for being di-unk on Sunday the 17th instant. Evan Evans, six bells beer-house, lleolgcrrig, was fined 40s. for keeping his house open on illegal Loui-s, on Sunday the I ith instant. Jenkin Jenkins, Travellers' Rest, was convicted of the same offence, but in consequence of his children being seveiely ill at the time, and the possibility of their not being aware of the offence, the magistrates remitted the penalty. 152 cases of appeal against the poor rate 011 the score of inability, were heard :— Exonerated ]30 Ordered to pay 9 Removed and not found 13 152

There were but few who dressed in character: Lord Glent- worth (we believe that was the Noble Lord's title) represented the character of Henry VIII., and Miss Jenkins, a Chepstow lady, certainly equalled, if not surpassed her original, Mary Queen of Scots. The stewards of the bail, John F. Vaughan, Esq., of Court- field, and his coadjutor, John E. W. Rolls, Esq., with their respective parties, shone among the most conspi- cuous. There were also large parties, mostly in fancy dresses, from the hospitable mansions of Messrs Bailey, Hall, and Jones of Clytha. L'pwards of 120 attended. The Cheltenham band was hired for the occasion, and the music was excellently performed and well selected. Quadrilles, waltzes, gallopades, and fiiiallv, a cotillon, were the order of the night, and dancing was kept up with spirit till a quarter to seven on the following morning. Among the gay as- semblage we noticed—Mr and Mrs Vaughan, Court- field; Mr and Mrs llolls; Mr and Mrs W.Jones. Clytha; Mr and Mrs Hall; Mr and Lady Charlotte Guest; two Misses Rous; Mr and Mrs Scudamore; Miss Jenkins; Mr and two Misses Bailey, and Mr BaPey, jun.; Mr and Mrs Carr; Mr and Mrs S. I toiiiri v Ilr-, Stables; Mr Williams, M.P.; officers of the lotll foot, from Brecon, &c. &c. &c. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT, LONDON, THURSDAY, JAN. 7th, I806. The King, on the prosecution of Stuekcfis Banking Cumpanj, against Thomas Leonard. Mr Bodkin, for the prosecution, stated that the prisoner was indicted by the respectable banking company of Stuckey's and Co. of Bristol, for forging a bill of exchange, with intent to defraud them. It appeared that the prisoner had written to their bank- ing-house three different letters, one III the name of Wm. Williams, another of Thos. Baker, the third of Thos. Thomas, each letter enclosing a bill evidently of a fictitious nature. The first witness called was P. F. Aiken, Esq. who stated he was a managing partner in the firm of Messrs. Stuckey's banking- house, Bristol. On the second of September last, a letter was received at the baukiug-nouse, one osing a bill, purporting to be an acceptance by Mr Geaeh, of Pontvpool, and the writer of such letter, who signed his name Thos. Baker, requested that the bank would discount such bill. Witness knew no one of the name of Baker, wiiose letter this appeared to be, but knowing Air Geach's responsibility, and believing it to be his acceptance, they discounted the biil, and sent an order to the address of Thos. Baker, upon their London correspondents, Robarts and Co., for payment accordingly. t George Moales, the next witness, stated T am a clerk in the banking-house of Robarts and Curtis. Ou the third of September last we received adviee from Stuckey and Co. to pay a sum of money to Tuos. Baker, who would call. A person came to receive this money, who called iiiin-elf Tiios. Baker. Joseph Davis Minson—I am casaier in the house of Robarts and Curtis. On the third of September last, the prisoner, who called himself 1hos. Baker, cam to our Bank, when I paid him, with other money, in pursuance of the advice of Stuckey's and Co., a "X' 10 Bank of England note, Xo, 10,058, dated 3d July, 1835; a £ 5 Bank of England note, No. 10,759; dated 3d July, 1835. We always kcep an account of the number and dates of bills yvhicb we pay away. Jacob Korn-I am a baker, living at 70, lurnmill- street. Prisoner lodged with me for about six months. Ilrisoiier 1110!ltils. I knew his name was Leonard. About the 4fli of September last, prisoner asked me to give him change for a i?10 note, No. 10,058, and he would pay me what he owed me. I took the. note, and changed it next door, at Mr Parker's. When Parker changed the note he wrote my name on the back of it. Joliii I'arker-I am a pilbli,tn. I ive next door to the last witness. In September last he brought this note, No. 10,058, to me for change. I wrote his name on the back. I am certain this is the same note. Jane Korn-I am wife of Mr Korn. I know the prisoner. He lodged at my house about the 15th of September last. I changed a < £ 5 note for hi in, No. 10,759. I wrote upon the back of the note the pri- soner's name. This is the same note. Hannah Firiner.-I live at 116, Fore Street, Cripple-gate. I know the prisoner at the bar. In September last, I frequently saw the prisoner at the house where I live, which is a coffee-shop. Prisoner always passed by the name of Thomas Baker. I took in letters for him addressed Thomas Buker. Lucy Stewart,Niv husband is a baker, living at 08, St. John-street, Sinithfield. I know the prisoner. oti(,r. He called at my house about three or four months ago, and asked if there were any letters for him. He called himself Thomas Thomas. I am quite certain that the prisoner at the bar is the man. Prior.-I live at No. 29, at Mlnories. It is a coffee-house. »I know the prisoner at the bar very well. He came to lodge with me some time past. Ile did lot give ally ninic until lie give. a letter directed to Stuckey's and Co., bankers, Bristol. He gave me the letter, and asked me to pay the postage of it, which I did, and if any letters came in the name of Thomas Thomas, I was to take them in for him. Jane Waring.—My father keeps a coffee-shop at 122, Lower Thames-street. I know the prisoner at the bar. I knew him by the name of Thomas Thomas. He told me to take any letters in that name. A letter came from Bristol, directed for him, about a fortnight or three weeks ago. The letter had the Bristol post-mark. I)ij-cvtly I lilvc him tile letter, Mr Roe, the police officer, who was sitting in one of the boxes in the room, waiting for the prisoner, took him into custody, John Roe.-Ï am an officer of the City Police. In consequence of certain information which I had obtained from Messrs. Stuckey's banking-house, I went to 122, Thames-street, a house which I had heard the prisoner frequented. The last witnpss told me that there was a letter waiting for Mr Thomas. l I rp mained in the room until the prisoner came there. he last witness gave the prisoner the letter, which he opened. I took the letter from him, and took him, into custody. This is the letter, which is from Stuckey s banking-house at Bristol, addressed "Thomas Thoillts, which the prisoner was reading. T. Greenway, clerk to Mr Geach of Pontvpool.— I knew the prisoner for about four years whilst he Jived at Pontvpool, and carried on the business of giocer there. During that time Mr Geach was in the habit of assisting the prisoner with money. Mr Geach often gave the prisoner checks upon his bankers, by which means the prisoner became acquainted with Mr Geach's writing. The name W. F. Geach written upon this biJl, which was handed to witness, is not i u-ach,S ^a,1d writing. I believe the whole of this bill and acceptance to be the prisoner's hand writing, having seen him write many times. I also »«/ n V e' ^'IC ^'lrc.e letters signed Baker, Thomas, and vvV?15 Pr'so,lcrs writing. V. K Geach, Esq.—lam a solicitor residing at Politypool. I know the prisoner. I liaveleiit him various sums of money, for some of which he has had CIICCKS on my bankers, and of course he has had fre- quent opportunities of becoming acquainted with inv writing. I think the bill now produced is entirely in the prisoner's hand writing. No part of it is mine. 1 never gave the prisoner nor any other person per- mission to use my name in any bill transaction. The acceptance on tiiis bill is an imitation of my writing, The learned Judge in summing up told the Jury that they could have no doubt of the prisoner's guilt. A verdict of guilty was immediately given, and the prisoner was sentenced to be transported for life. —Merlin.

^trcottglnte. THE PRIORY CHuitcii.-A meeting was held on Friday the lbth instant, at the Town Hall, to take into consideration the propriety of improving and warming the Priory Church, and to consult on the best mode of effecting the desired alterations. The meeting was attended by several of the most respect- able inhabitants of the town. The Rev. Archdeacon Davies, having been requested to take the chair, re- solutions were past, which had in view the erection of a screen, to separate the nave of the Church for the purposes of divine service, the formation of a raised floor, and the employment of hot air stoves, in order to produce warmth and ventilation. Much interest was evinced by the gentlemen assembled, and a com- mittee was formed to carry into effect the designed arrangement. A subscription was immediately com- menced, and most liberally supported by all who were present. Since the first day, it has received a consi- derable accession, and little doubt is entertained that a sum amply sufficient will be realized for the accom- plishment of this excellent design. Mr Bickersteth, (now Lord Liiil-dale), the new Master of the Rolls, is married to Lady Jane Harlev, eldest daughter of the Earl of Oxford. Lord Eastnor, eldest son of Earl Somers, is appointed Colonel of the Hereford Militia, vicc Sir George Cornewall, Bart, deceased.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH. The King v. William Roberts, in the matter of the Mayoralty of Carnarvon. Sir VV. Follett moved for a writ of quo warranto, callIng- on Mr Roberts to show bv what right he held the office and executed the duties of mayor in the borough of Carnarvon, the question arising partly under the old charter, and partly under the new Municipal Corporation Act. The 25th section directed that the new body should consist of a mayor, aldermen, and council; the 30th regulating the choice of the latter, and the 49th that of mayor. The order of the Privy Council directed the election of coun- cillors on the 26tii of December," of Aldermen on the 2Sth, and that the mayor should be chosen on tho 1st of January instant. No provision, however, existed in the act for the event of there being an equal number of voices in the choice of aldermen by tne councillors elect, as had occurred in this and two other boroughs; and here a difficulty arose which did not appear to be remediable except by a distinct act of Parliament. A certain number of councillors, 18, appeared to have been ejected on the day appointed for that purpose, but upon this point a doubt arose as to the validity of the election, in consequence of the absence of the proper presiding officer, whose attendance was requisite under the di- rections of the act. On the 28th of December, on proeeeding-to the election of aldermen, of whom six were to be chosen, there was an absolute majority for two on] y, the numbers for the other four being exactly divided between two sets of candidates; and, as the act specified the choice of six, and not two, the whole matter fell to the ground, the councillors failing to complete the number. Notwithstanding their in- complete numbers, the councillors, together with the two persons for whom there was a majority in the choice of aldermen, proceeded to the election of a mayor, which, it was now alledged, was a proceeding altogether unwarrantable, the other component parts not having been filled up. The election of mayor must therefore have been void, and it remained to be seen on what authority the present claimant was acting, Mr. Justice PATTESOX.—Suppose four vacancies had occurred in the number of aldermen between the choice and the election of mayor. Sir W. Follett.Ti iit would have been held suffi- cient, and-the new body would have proceeded to fill up the vacancies. But here the whole intermediate grade was wanting, there benig, in fact, no aldermen chosen, as the two could not he sufficient to meet the terms of the act. Had 16 councillors only been chosen, the informality must have been iilike fatal. This point has not yet been discussed, although the same accident and difficulty had arisen in two other boroughs, Rochester and Newport, but in these in- stances the councillors had not proceeded to the election of a mayor. Mr. Justice Patteson wished to mention the matter to his learned colleagues before giving a decision; but at present his impression was, that the rule ought to be granted. Sir W. Follett said there was another point at issue, which arose under the old charter, by virtue of which the Constable of Carnarvon Castle was by right of his office mayor of the borough, and always took the oaths as such officer. Under the 36th section of the new act it was directed, without any exception, that the election of tile new corporate body should be held under the presidency of the existing mayor. This had been omitted in the case now before the Court, the election having been held before a person exercising the office of deputy-mayor, under the ap- pointment of Lord Anglesey,'the present constable of the castle, and late mayor, but the right to appoint such deputy having no existence in the terms of the old charter. The writ of quo warranto was, therefore asked on two distinct grounds-first, tltat the whole of the proceedings were informal and void, there having been no proper presiding officer; and secondly, that the appointment of Aldermen must precede tlie ejection of a mayor. Mr Justice Patteson again observed, that as the act had given rise to several motions, and probably would to more, he should like to mention it to the other Judges. The King v. the Churchwardens of the Parish of St. Michael, Pembroke. Sir W. Follett applied for a mandamus, calling on the authorities of St. Michael's, Pembroke, to raise a rate for the payment of interest on monies borrowed under the provisions of the Church Building Act. The present applicant had advanced a Sum of 1,000/. under the terms of the Act, and she now asked for payment of interest, and also that an arrangement should be entered into for the liquidation of the debt. The present officers had not directly refused, but, although ) epeatedty applied to upon the subject, had not com- plied with the applicant's request. Mandamus granted The King v. the Justices of Gloucestershire. Lord Dcnman said the Court had considered this cnse, which was an application for a mandamus against the Justices of Gloucestershire, and they were of opinion that a rule to show cause ought to be granted. Rule Nisi granted, COURT OF EXCHEQUER, FRIDAY, JAN. 15.- THOMAS v. EDWARDES.—Mr Chilton showed cause against a rule for a new trial in this case, obtained by Mr Williams. The action arose out of a contested election for Pembrokeshire, in which Sir Char!e3 Greville was candidate, in the year 1831 the defen- dant, as Chairman of his Committee, being held liable for certain refreshments furnished to Sir Charles's partisans. The cause was tried by Mr Justice Patteson, and the judgment of the Court was post- poned until his Lordship could be consulted on the subject, P.

The defendant was condemned in the costs of suit,Hercford Journal, THE GOSPORT CASE.—On Tuesday lasf at a further hearing, at the Gosport Bridewell, of the alleged felony against Mrs Mary Bromley', before Colonel Hugonin and Captain Purvis,she was fully committed to the next county assizes for stealing from Lady Elizabeth Dickens a German crystal seal, a piece of embroidered silk (which had formerly belonged to Queen Elizabeth), a child's trock of her Ladyship's own work, and sundry books, with a foreign print and a map. The magistrates immediately took bail for her appear- ance at the trial. With reference to the letter from the Dowager Marchioness of Northampton to the magistrates of Gosport, we said that the Marchioness wrote "she had lost nothing, and had no charge to make against her servant." This was not correct. Our information was from hearsay onlv, as the examination of the case was not so publicly conducted as in our own borough court and we must be excused from wilful fault. The' Marchioness merely said, It was not her inten- tion to prosecute Mary Bromley." To prevent similar errors, we should recommend that the Gosport magisterial bnsiness should be conducted in the Market-house, or any other large room, with with open doors, and not in the Rridewell in a parlour 12 feet square, with a gaoler at the gate, and admission by him made a matter of favour Hampshire Telegraph DUTCH VEGETABLES.—The almost total failure in this country of the crop of turnips, owing to the fly, and the partial failure of the cabbage crop, from the long dro iglit and consequent ravages of the caterpillars and the slugs, are being compen. sated by ample importations of these useful escu- lents from Holland. The quality is generally very good, the low lands of that country, from the peri- odical natural irrigation which they receive from the overflow of the canals, being greatly fer- tilized and adapted for the production of all kinds of garden produce. Of turnips they have sent us over two varieties, the lange raapen, or long turnip, and the knol reapen, or round turnip. The latter differs scarcely at all from our own, ex- cept perhaps that the specimens run rather larger • the long turnip is in shape something like a short thick carrot, has a rind tinged with copperish green at the upper part like a Sweedish turnip, and is of rather inferiorquality, being deficient ki sweetness Of cabbages, the kind sent is the kaate koppen' otherwise witte koolen, or white cabbage. It is" easily distinguished from i:s enormous size and the compactness and whiteness of the leaves com- posing the heart. Bcsrecole, commonly known as Sooteli kail, and smaller green, are likewise brought over thence. NARROW ESCAPE PANT ™ J- ° many years since a distinguished character in that crcck regiment, the Hereford Militia, had lately a nar- row escape from severe injury. On Monday the 11th instant, the above gallant officer, in a pedes- trian excursion in the county of Radnor, called at the house of a gentleman, whose near relation w < in the habit of amusing himself in experimental chemistry, and which often enlivened that same- ness of scene, which, to a man cf the world and superior education a secluded country life too often generates. Being Christmas time the house was nil of company, and the Capt. was put to sleep in he library where an occasional couch was placed, nil, ^Ffned that early the next morning (six o clock) the philosopher, unconscious of the di £ tmguished guest, went to the above It to experiment with the gases. In a short time a most violent explosion took place, the window was entirely blown out, and the above gallant officer- forced from his couch, and slightly bruised upoa the abdomen, and one of the hips the bed-clothes* it is presumed, acting as a further preservative. The operator will, it is to be hoped, be more careful in his future experiments. — Hereford Journal. J
