UEUTUyii TYDVIL, SATURDAY, June 10, 1837 .0 A few days since the Lord Mayor of London, the City Authorities and a considerable train of the Aldermen, &c. &c. presented an Address to the Duchess of Kent on the topic of the Princess Victoria's reaching her 18th year. The papers, blundering, call this her coming of age. But as she is now no more out of her minority than when she was in her cradle, the homage so sedulously shown, and on higher authority too thai) that of the Radical simpleton who now so ridiculously wields the Civic sceptre, has been unluckily premature. The Duchess of Kent on this occasion read a paper, in which she entered into rather a loii,, detail of her merits, as the wife of tile Duke of Kent, and the mother ol the little Princess. Among other merits she look to herself one ill the shape of never having exhibited a bias for any of the contending parties in the State. We as strongly doubt the merit of this IIH\trollly illlpartialllY, as public opinion strongly doubts its truth. That it would be presumptuous in the Duchess of Kent, or any other Duchess, to busy herself i" political intrigue we perfectly allow; that it would be impotent we as perfectly allow hut that it would become the mother of the Heiress Pre- sum itive to look with equal favour on the loyal subject and the dangerous partisan to see no difference between the Royalist and the Radical, and think that she was doing her duty to either her King or her Child by this miserable neu- trality, we altogether deny. With the freedom that ollght never to be separated from the Press, and with the honesfy which gives all its vallie to tijilt freedom, we say to persons of the rank of the Duchess of Kent that they must not be neutral that they must not expect the nation to fight their battles, il they smile equally on the honour- able champion and the villainous assailant; that their fate depends upon the ail'ections of the people, and the best retllrll which they cau make for those affections is to be grateful. Yet even if this poor impartiality be culpable, are we to believe that it has been sustained ? Why are the io Pieaus of the O'Connells vociferating I'" round the land ? Why is the insect activity of Mr Roebuck in full flutter? Why is the sullen reptilism of Joseph JIuine gathering up its spires and making its way on its belly through the dust to Kensington? Why is tile wholu mingled folly and ferocity of Radicalism gri- macing like the tigers and monkeys of a menagerie as the hour comes when they expect to be fed? Why is an obscure member of an obscure family of Irish Papists the oracfe of Kensington Palace? Or, to judge of the way the wind blows by tossing up straws, why was the first partner chosen for the Princess Victoria on her first appearance before the nobility and lead- ing gentry ofEnglalld-theyrand-son of a Papist Peer, and that Peer notoriously one of the most bigotted and ostentatiously Papist of his tribe? These things may seem trifles, and of course no one can desire to interfere with the qlladrillcs of a girl of eighteclI,-ullt ill COllrts IIOII( of those matters are by chance. The choice of the partner was doubtless duly considered, and the choice of a Papist Lord for the hand of a Pro- testant Princess, even but for the first half hour of her public existence, was not without a pur- pose, and a significant one. What! Was there not one English Protestant Nobleman in the room who might be thought worthy of so marker a distinction ? Unquestionably, if tjie object of the Duchess of Kent" was to show that she regarded Popery and Protestantism Oil the same cold aud worthless level,-or rather, if she pre- ferred the Papist, she could not have given a more intelligible hint to ^hose whose acclama- tions, profligate and prodigal alike, have re- sounded from every IJauot of Popery and Radicalism in the empire. Thus we find the horn of Rebellion in Mr j O'Connell's hands suddenly turned into ominous panegyric. Thus we find Air Shiel suddenly Hinging his hand over the discordant strings his little grasp has taught to utter no sound but mutiny. His speech at the Lambeth Meeting was a sin-offering, whose smoke could onlv have stained the shrine on which it was offered, it probably astonished Ilimself as much as it enraptured the rabble of the paltry tavern whi're it was delivered, and the insulter of the Duke of York on his death bed, lavished his whole travelling provision»of mercenary meta- phor on the niece of that Duke, in sight of a throne. In these remarks we can have no desire of dealing harshly with females. But mighty interests are bound up with the conduct of those females. Our Protestant Constitution, which is the life of the Empire, mav depend on a woman's caprice, an interested match, an early predilection for a dangerous party, or a mere chilling indifference Jo the principles of British political wisdom. Long live we say the Princess Victoria, if she be the Queen that England desires to see. Long live the sanctity, the energy, the justice, and the dignity that make a lhrone at once splendid and secure. But now is the critical time. We must have no Coboiirg religious indifference, no political trifling. The Princess has the model of Sovereigns, the great Elizabeth before her She has only to adopt her sincerity, her love of England and her holy homage to the purest form of Religion, British Protestantism; and her government may defv every storm. No task can at once be easier and more triumphant. The whole essential knowledge is condensed in this single principle. '• SUSTAIN PROTESTANTISM AT ALL HAZARDS." Elevate the religion of the country and the Sovereign elevates herself. Like the prophet, she will be borne up by that resistless spirit, and at her last hour transmit her wisdom and her remembrance, in glury to her people,

Jttomnouthgfure. The Lord Chief Baron and Mr Justice Coleridge are the Judges for the Oxford Circuit, the ensuing Summer Assizes. Though we have given the Worshipful John Frost, Esq., the Mayor of Newport, a long respite, he has not escaped our remembrance. Our respect for the nffiee. he so nnworthilv mic L- r0ciram..H rm„, "y JIH. >4.3 .IUIII speaking in the strong language of remonstrance; but, as the Burgesses of Newport are still without their rights, as they are too poor, or too unwilling, to go to law, and as they have been accustomed to consider the GUARDIAN" as their friend, we again ask Mr Frost, in the name of common decency, in the* name of common honesty, why be withholds from persons who so greatly need it, and who are legally entitled to it, the money which he has received onlv as a Trustee ? Oh, that this hard hearted mall-and where is the man whose heart Radicalism has not hardened into the substance of the nether millstone, could be softened by any appcnl that could be made to him, and that if he has never tasted the luxury of doing good, he would yet purchase the comfort of doing what is just. The blessings of him that was ready to perish was upon him, and he caused the widow's heart to sing for joy." Think of this record, your worship. We solemnly declare, that if we bad an interest in this fund, we would give Mr Frost no rest —we would weary him with our "continual coming;" and if we could not shame him into the performance of a duty, we would extort justice by importunity. We know that this plan once succeeded, and for an unholy purpose, with one who "feared not God neither regarded man;" and, surely the widow's cry should not fail to pierce the ears, and soften the obduracy, of one who is manifestly not insensible to the applause of men—nor, we charitably hope, to the approbation of his Maker. This money must be distributed, or we must have a satisfactory reason why it is withheld. We believe that the large balance in the hands of Mr Frost, has recently ac- cumulated. Many of our readers are aware of the forcible removal, by the competent authorities, of obstructions to the Highways, erected by Messrs. Harford and Co-, at EbbwV ale and Sirhowy, and which were demolished, after a ioleiit resistance, on the loth of May. In the execution of this public duty the Riot Act was read more than once. But law and right, on behalf of the public, were victorious. On one side of the highway called Heol y Mwyn are two dwelling houses, and between them and the centre of the highway Messrs. Harford and Co. have lately erected a dwelling house so near them as almost to exclude the light, and pre- vent the possibility of their being occupied. Occupied, however, they are, and the tenant of one of them has unfortunately a wife in what the ladies term an inte- resting situation," and who is on that account unable to escape from her dwelling. She is, in fact, "prema- turely confined," and that by Messrs. Harford and Co. The liberation of one prisoner can only procure the escape of another. The poor woman cries, after the fashion of Sterne's starling, that she" cannot get out" Sue is like the runaway Nun, Constance of Beverley, who was built up in a liviii, tomb, as described by the Poet of Marmion. She is, however, waiting until law, by a forcible process, or the accoucheur by his obstetric skill, shall effect her safe deliverance." Monmouth monthly market, on Wednesday, was well attended, and well supplied in point of numbers; but there was no sale, except for such things as were fat and in good condition; and for want of more grass the lean kine every where abound. MONMOUTHSHIRE IRON AND COAL CONIPAN-Y.-WC have the pleasure of informing our readers, that the new town now building for the Monmouthshire Iron and Coal Company, at Lower Ebbw Vale, is to be (letioiniiiated I Victoria,, in honour to the Princess Victoria. Application for the consent of her R. II. to this procedure was made through Sir John Conroy, from whom the following reply was received per returii of post:— Kensington Palace, 3d June, 1837. Sir,-I have laid before the Duchess of Kent vour letter of the 2d instant, signifying the wish of the Direc- tors and Shareholders of the Monmouthshire Iron and Coal Company that a new town tliev are about to build in connection therewith should be denominated 4 Victoria after HcrHojal Highness the Princess Victoria. Her Koyal fliglinesi colntnaridq me to request you will assure the Director? aud Shareholders that she has much gratilication in acceding to their request. I have the honour to be.

At a Petty Sessions, for the division of Bedwellty, held at the Town liall, in the town of Tredegar, on Wednesday, the 31st Mav, 1S37, before Samuel Homfray, Edmund Williams, and Joseph Davies, Esqrs., tll following persons were convicted of the offences with which thev were charged :— James James, of the- parisll of Bedwellty, retailor of beer, for having, on the "tb of May, 1837, kept a disorderly house.0' Penalty 40 shillings, costs 11 shillings. Henry Workman, of the parish of Bedwellty, victualler, for having, on the 14th of May 1837, kept a disorderly house, contrary to the terms of his license. Penalty 20s. and costs lis. Henry Workman, of the parish of Bedwellty, victualler, for having on the 8th May, 1837, cpt a disorderly house, contrary to the terms of his license. Penalty "20s., costs lis. Richard Recs, of the parish of Bedwellty, labourer, for unlawfully assaulting Gwenllian Owen, of the same parish, singlewoman, on the 2stli May, 1837. Penalty I Os., costs I Is. Walter Walter, Daniel Jones, Rosscr Thomas, Henry Richards, and Wm. Bowen, colliers, of the parish of Bedwellty, were fined in the penalties of 5s. and costs, for drunkenness. Great praise is due to Mr W. W. Homan, the police superintendant, stationed at the town of Tredegar, for the great and manifest improvement he has, by the strict performance of bis arduous duty, occasioned iu the habits of the colliers and miners of that populous district. Before his services commenced, the town was notoriously, and particularly on Sundays, the scene of drunkenness, indecency and every other immorality but, now it may be questioned, whether the Radical town of Mprthyr Tydvil, or a:.v other town in the Kingdom, is more orderly or respectable.

BRECON, Saturday, June 10 1S37. If the gallant Radical Candidate, for Bre- conshire, have not yet discovered the unpalatable truth, that he is pursuing a shadow, then must the truth be judicially hidden from his eyes. The fact is, that relying upon the angry feelings of a party, the Dissenters, and depending solely upon their numerical strength, and their exaspe- rated animosity towards the Church, he rushed forth as their Champion, without measuring his own strength, or ascertaining the temper of his weapons. Do we wrong the Dissenters, wtien we say, that angry feelings, such as they exhi- bited, are rarely permanent, (Heaven forbid they should be ') and that time and reflection have softened, amongst the many, the bitterness of hatred, and that they now begin to see that they have "disquieted themselves in vain." They may continue indeed to look with solicitude, proportioned to the interest they feel, on the matter in dispiate, but they look with more patience, more calmness, than they at first exhibited, and with a greater desire that a subject of contention may be quietly removed, than that a viotory oveT right should be gained. The Champion of the angry-the hasty—the in- considerate-tha Representative of hostile feel- ings to the Church, as a National Establishment, the Candidate in question may have been but, for a Champion of Truth, of Reason, and of Religion, no man was surely ever worse quali. fied. Hence it is, that, as anger has subsided in the breasts of real Dissenters, their confidence in him whom they rashly adopted has declined, and they are beginning to be ashamed of the dol they set up. Of tbis. top4 they must be now fully aware, that having associated themselves with the bitterest enemies of the Church, for reform in the Ecclesiastical Establishments, there were at least two parties in the league, *%N liom nothing less than subversion would satisfy, we mean Infidels and Papists. lt is bN, a tliiiely disconnection from allies so unprincipled, by bursting asunder the bonds of so unnatural a confederacy, and casting away the cords of so wiiked a compact, that they will vindicate their claim to be descended from the Non-conformists of old, of whom the world was scarcely worthy it is by rendering their motives more pure and their means less suspected, that the only object worth their attainment will be secured--tiiat of being firmly placed beyond the reach of civil disability, and the fear of religious persecution Surely, when these improved feelings come over the Dissenters, they will see how unworthy is the Candidate whom they now support. To the friends of Col.Wood,we would sav, ll.at one of two important battles is approaching the one, however, is certain and near, the other mav be as remote as it is precarious: a Dissolution of Parliament and a Registration of your votes. That you may be prepared fur the first event, come when it may, louk well to the latter. Perhaps a fiercer struggle in the Courts of Re- gistration, than will be exhibited in the ensuing July, may never again engage your active energies. As you would swell the triumph of a Conservative Candidate then, we sav, whether as yearly tenants, annuitants, possessors of rent charges, or whatever be your qualifications, register your vote, and prize it as a sacred deposit, to be employed in defence of Institu- tions threatened, and Protestantism endangered, a Throne shaken, and Temples despised.

Mr Baron Gurnev is the Judge for the South Wales Circuit at the ensuing Summer Assizes. The Duke of Wellington has been inaugurated Master of the Trinity House. The Marquess ( amden, who has long filled the important office, with the greatest ability and attention, must feel lllJlyg-rati- fied that the trust has devolved upon so illustrious a successor. LEOMINSTER ELECTION-.—It is now certain that this borough will be strongly contested at the next election, and that Mr Bish, the Radical candidate, will stand but little chance of being re-elected. Mr John Arkwright, of Hampton-court, has been call- vassing in conjunction with Lord Hotham, and has received the promises of a majority of the electors. The Depot of the 10th Regiment, on being relieve! by the 14th from Ireland, will marcu for Water- ford. On Monday, the Duchess of Kent received, and presented to the Princess Victoria, Mr Morgan, the member for the borough, with a congratulatory address froth Brecon, on the occasion of her Royal Highness attaining her lSlh year. The same was most graciousiy received. At the Brecon Quarter Sessions, on the 27th inst., the magistrates (ill conformity with tue order in council, of April lQth'i. will divide the county into convenient polling districts, assigning their respective districts to Brecknock, Devynnock, Hay, Talgarth, Crickhowel, and Iiuillt. It is expected that a new keeper of the county gaol will be appointed at the same Quarter Sessions, for which situation there arc several candidates and among many others, Mr Roger Powell, of Brecon, Mr Woods, JUD of Cardiff, and Mr Darker, of Dowlais.

JOHN lISTER H ART.—It will be recollect* d. that some two or three central criminal court sessions ago at the Old Bailev, the above ii,iiiicd individual was convicted of forgery on the son of Dr. Jenner, of Doctors' Commons, and ordered for transportation for life. By the letters recently received by his relatives, who are highly res- pectable, it appears that while the vessel was or* its voyage to Sydney, to which place Ie, with other convicts, was consigned, the deceased suffered severely from change of diet and his Inn; im- prisonment, which soon terminated his life. t Irish agricultural labourers are offered in 'ho West India Islands free board and lodging, and 'i'l!. a year each, clear wages. They may be sent out free of expense from Dublin. Notice has been sent from the agents of the coalowners, now resident in Spain, desiring: that im futher supply of coals might be sent from Newc-ast lo to that country, the Spanish government having put a duty of fourteen shillings a ton on English coal arriving there. There had been no duty wharece upon coals entering that country since iSl Mercury.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. Ministers were defeated on Wednesday even- ing, on the second reading of a Bill for the lletter Observance of tbe Sabbath, by a majority of 44.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (Continued from our last page.) HOUSE OF LORDS—TUESDAY. After the presentation of some petitions and some routine business, Lord DFN.Ni.AN, on the suggestion of Lords Ellenborough and Lyndlmrst, withdrew, or rather* postponed, his motion relative to the resolu- tions of the House of Commons on the matter of privilege. We cannot describe the motives of the Noble and Leanwd Chief Justice in anv language So appropriate as his own, in which there is an eloquent simplicity and modest dignity at once COli., ciliating and imposing. Mv Lords, I consider my- self in some degree as standing under accusation — I believe I might say conviction. (I lear, hear.) Iam witi, conduct which is descrihed as rash and illiprol)er, in giving an opinion which, as one of the sworn Judges of the land, I should have deserted my duty if I had not given. (Loud cheers.) My conduct has been considered rash for laying down the taw as in iflv conscience I believed it to be. My Lords, the "pinion which I then give I have seen no reason to change in any discussion which has been brought Under my notice. To that opinion I still adhere. That Opmion I am prepared to yield the moment I am convinced that it is incorrect; but it is one to which to the very last moment of my life 1 will adhere as long as in my conscience I am convinced that it is Well founded. (Cheers.) I certainly have thought that it was becoming in an individual so peculiarly situated as myself to take some notice of a charge of having acted with rashness and impropriety. 1 have •ll> wish to step forward as the voluntary censor of the House of Commons; but when I find such resolutions P:iss->d, and when I find that there is a growing dispo- sition to agree to such resolutions. I think that I c<mnot be to blame in bringing before your Lordships this important subject. My Lords, it is extremely difficult for me to resist the impression which seems to be prevalent among your Lordships. (Hear, hear.) have to thank the Noble Lord opposite (Lord *"lcnborough) for his suggestions, and i am sure that Whatever falls from the Noble Duke (Richmond) will always be received by me with the greatest respect. I have to thank also the Noble and learned Lord (Lyndhurst) for the manner in which he expressed his opinion. I think I see that an impression pi-evlils anions your Lordships that this is a matter which oUl{ht not to be brought forward unless there is something like a pressing necessity for it. I shall, however, beg leave to say, that in adopting the advice which Ins been tendered to me. 1 do not Withdraw the notice of a motion which I gave, thc particulars of which are comparative!y unim- portant, but that I shajl reserve to myself at some ■ uture period, when other events may make such proceedings necessary, the right of bringing this "latter again before your Lordships. The Noble étlld Learned Lord (Olwluded by an intimation that "6 should probably bring the subject forward on Tuesday next. # HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY. Several Petitions were presented; after which a 'orig discussion ensued on the subject ol the lirighton "Hilroad. Lord W. nETINCK postponed his motion on Steam Navigation to India till to-morrow. Mr YVAlvLKY also postponed his motion rehtivo to the dismissal of Colonel Home till the 7th of July. Thcttouse then went into Committee on the Poor Relief tJiu for Ireland and having agreed to several Onuses, up to the 60th, the CHAIRMAN reported P'ogress, and obtained leave to sit again on I'l iday. Mr Serjeant TALFOURD'S Copyright Hill was then read a first, and ordered to be read a second tlle on the 14th; after which the House, at 1 o'clock, adJourned.

II\. Cituilcti MISSIONARY SOCIETY.-A sermon is to be .it preached to-morrow, at St. Mary's and St. John's ('unrobes, Swansea, in behalf of the Church Missionary Society, by the Rev. Humphrey Allen, of the Hay; and on Monday a meeting will be held at the Town Hall there, where that important cause will be advo- cated. The Rev. Dr. Hewson, Vicii- of Swansea, is to take the chair. Mr Allen, who has been deputed for this year by the Society, is son of Mr Allen of the Lodge, Brecon, formerly Attorney-General on the Brecon Circuit, and after his retirement fioin the bar, Chairman of the Quarter Sessions for that county. NEWBRIDGE.—We understand that the building committee met on Thursday last, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the state of their funds would admit of their entering into arrangements for beating the church, with Mr Price's hot-water-apparatus, which has succeeded so well at the Priory Church, Brecon, andseyera)oth"r))ui)dint;s. We were sorry to hear that the funds were considered inadequate to provide this very material comfort; and that so great a dcsidpratum in this moist climate,-has been post- poned for better times, if not abandoned. NEWHRIDOE CHURCH.— Among the subscribers, the name of Mrs Llewelyn, of Baglan Hall, for X2, was accidentally omitted. We regret to state that on Mondav night after the Dorset Cavalry had arrived in this town, Capt. Lord Stavordale was taken alarmingly ill, by a sudden inter- nal hemorrhage.

JUNK S.-The temperature of the past month has been fully as high as the usual average for Mav. Occasionally it has been warm, and although vegeta- tion was more backward at the commencement of the month than we had ever known it. the rapid pro- gress it has lately made, has almost made up for the severe check it had previously experienced. The whole country now presents a rich and cheering ap- pearance, affording every prospect that the growing crops will approaeh to an average. y law- back is a deficiency of moisture, the quantity of rain which fell in May is only lin. 35. This was sufficient to produce immediate vegetation in the barley, and the braired has looked well, hut. it will Soon require rain. The wheat, as usual at this period of the year, seldom experiences ruiv check from the want of moisture, and in general it. looks in a very healthy state, but it is very backward. In former seasons we have known it out in ear at this date, but there is no appearance at present. I'hc pasture land is greatly in want of rain, and the hay i rop must in general be light. The old stock being entirely disposed of, must keep up the price, for another season, above the usual average. The vetches are a good crop this season and will prove valuable. The weather has been highly favourable for preparing the turnip fallows, which are in a forward state. A g-rcat portion of the Swedes are set, but cannot succeed without more moisture. The mangels are also at a stand, awl a great portioll of the seed has not yet appeared. The tardiness of this seed to vegetate is a serious objection to the cut- tivation of this valuable root, and, for the last three or four seasons, the drought in the month of May has been fatal to the crop, which can only be guarded agaills by sowillg earlier. Fat stock, especially beef and mutton, are extremely scarce, and the market is now dliefly supplied with veal and lamb. The corn market is stationary. The scarcity of fodder through- out the iiis emptied the stack Yilrds of nearly all their contents; and should the harvest be pro- tracted to a late period, tue stock of wheat on hand will be found deficient. "1' TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE & GUARDIAN. -It is earnestly hoped that they who have not yet tried furze as food for cattle, will attentively read the following observations; the compiler has only had in view the benefit of the public, and he flatters himself that the trouble he has taken will not be thrown away:— Several sorts of furze grow on our hills-French furze, small furze, or, as tlicv are called in Denbigh- shire, Eithin Marwlas, Crach eithin, &c.; but the French furze are the best, and are those most com- monly used for cattle. Hedges around fields are often made with tiie in but, our object being with them as food, I will proceed to shew the way to raise them. The virtue of this plant is, that it will grow on the poorest land: but the best soil is (try gravel, and the best proof of the litncss of the land, is that in which furze flourishes naturally. On these spots it is cus- tomary to burn down the furze to the roots, then to remove the stumps, and preserve the young- shoots carefuify-from sheep who would otherwise crop them. When you have no furze growing naturally, the best way to prepare land for sowing the seed is as you would do it for clover. If the land is good, and dry, and cleaned as it should be, about eight pounds of seed to the acre is enough; in other places it will re- quire from 10 to 151 bs. But the farmer will soon ascertain the necessary quantity. The usual time for sowiug is the end of March or beginning of April, and tl are often sown with barley or oats— they are usuatly left to grow lill the October of the following year,, though some cut them the first year, but we do not recommend this course. Some cut them every year, some every second year, but this will depend on the qualitv of the land, and oil the situation. M^Spooncr, a gentlcmanliving at Brick- field, oear Worcester, has cut his furze every year: he has done so for nine years successively, and his crop of this year is the best of any. Others affirm that if they are cut every year, the plant will fail; -but in one thing all agree, which is, that they must not be left more than two years without cutting, otherwise the sprouts become too tough, the leaves wither, and become valueless as food. The seed of the French furze being 2s. a pound, a crop will cost as much to sow as anv other; but the industrious man can gather enough of seed in the summer he caiKow tiiein in his garden, and plant them out in the field-and thus with a small expense collect enough to plant many acres. Especial care should be taken to keep sheep, hares and rabbits from the lerze ground, for they not only crop the sprouts, but the wool and fur is injurious to the cattle. This should be attended to; for, from this cause, manv have been disappointed in the crop, who owe their disappointment only to their own neglect. In my next I will explain the way to cut and bruise furze. PUILEtTiHN. #'##"1'' To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE & GUARDIAN. SIR,—I cannot admit that your correspondent, who sigiis 11 A Breeder," is fully qual ified to pronouncejudg- ment upon the merits of our different breed of cattle. His wholesale condemnation of Mr David's and Mr Powell's stock, will, I expect, only create a smile from those gentlemen. Their extensive practical experience must qualify them to judge of what is best adapted for their respective situations; neither is there any great probability that they will be much influenced by the fancy of your correspondent, whose predilection, I suspect, for every thing in, or near Lantrissent, must aiso diminish, very considerably, the value of his opinion when passing judgment upon the whole county. It. is true, that the cattle exhibited at our fairs are much inferior to what they formerly were; but, Sir. this arises, in some measure, from the great increase in our population, and also from the altered habits and diet of our labourers, whose con- sumption of animal food is so considerably augmented. All the best bred cattle in the county are now fed at home, and disposed of to our own butchers; formerly they were exhibited at our fairs and purchased by the English grazier. If your correspondent will like- wise extend jiis researches a little further, he will find that the stock he condemns are brought to per- fectioll at all earlier age, and realize far better prices, than has ever been done by his favourite breeder. But, Sir, my chief motive for troubling you is, to express my regret that any one should be thusattaeked. principally, ] believe, because in the recent discharge of a public duty, Iw fearlessly opposed a proposition which was considered to be brought forward more to serve a favourite than to benefit the public. I am, Sir, Yours, æc" June 7, 1837. OBSERVER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE & GUARDIAN. Siiz,-Tiie Hampden question was thought to have been fully settled. It has, however, been revived by the refusal of a Whig Bishop of the Diocese of Litch- field to ordain a Candidate for Orders, because he had not brought a certificate ot having attended the Lec- tures of tilC Regius Professor of Divinity of the University to which he belonged, such Professor being the celebrated Dr. Hampden. The Bishop of LlandafT is understood to be of the same opinion with his brother of Litchfield, and that a certificate of attendance on the Lectures of the Professor, as aforesaid, will be expected of every Candidate for Holy Orders in this Diocese, who has graduated at the University of Oxford. It was thought that the fate of Dr. Hamp- den, as a Theological teacher was sealed. It appears, however, that we were mistaken and it shall now be my ungrateful task to inquire, whether an individual, who has public, declared opinions in opposition to the Church of which he is a member, and which every man capable of reading his Bible must pronounce to be startling and hazardous, is fit to hold the most responsible sta tion a lIIong the teachers of the Christian Religion in a great Protestant Utiivei-sity ? 011 the authority of his own printed statements, then, it is that I presume to charge him with heresy. He is iiis own accuser; and if the declarations which arc now quoted from his works are not heretical, let him be a)togetheruncondemned. Of the Trinity.—" One fact is clear, through all this labyrinth of variations, that there is some extraordi- nary communication, concerning the Divine Being, in those Scriptural notices of God, which have called "forth the curiosity of thinking men in all ages. To me it matters little what opinion on the subject has "been prior, or has been advocated by the shrewdest wit or the deepest learning. All differences of this kind belong to the history of the human mind much as to Theology." Tims, we find it almost in so many words declared, that the doctrine of the Trinity amounts to no more than the fact, that some shadowy mysterious intelligen c has transpired, that all Cnristian faith on the subject is mere human speculation, one form of that speculation being entitled to as much respect as another, the whole (the Church of England declaration included) belonging to the history of the human mind i. c. to the fluctuations and lollies, the whims and changes of philosophic reveries since the beginning—and moreover, that the shrewdest wit (intellect), or deepest learning, in other words, that no capacity or labour of man can arrive at any solid conviction- on the subject. Can he who wrote this passage be considered, by any leniency of construction, to believe in the doctrine of the Three Persons and one God? To make the fact plainer still, he actually pronounces the Athanasian Creed, "evidence of the triumph of a party in the Church," i.e. the work of faction, careless, like all faction, whether it propagated truth or falsehood. Then of the Nicene Creed, framed by the first great council of tile Church, and framed for the express purpose of declaring the Trinity in unity, he writes, that "the notions oil which tiio several expressions of this Creed and of the Athanasian are founded, are both un- philosophical and unscriptural." Does the Church, of which Dr. Hampden demands to be appointed a prominent teacher, admit this? He further says, that those notions are. not impressed on the Christian as matters of affirmative belief." Does the Church of England admit this and may any man using the words of the Nicene Creed, whether in the Church, or the lecture room, act like a Christian or an honest man in using them without believing them ? Under such circumstances, we should not be surprised to find Dr. Hampden using all tiie words of the Liturgy, while he enjoys the benefit of this easy principle, and thinks he is not bound to give them an affirmative belief. What other belief can exist ? A negative belief is nonsense. THus, a member of the Church may sign all its articles with a safe conscience, and yet not believe any one of them, because they are not regarded by him as matters of affirmative belief! If not,—as wnat are they regarded ? I should regard the act. by whomsoever it was done, as a base evasion, a guilty falsehood, a vile pretence to the possession of a conscience, while in the intent of perpetrating a desperate fraud on God and man. Of-tne Incarnation.—" The discussions on the In- carnation were partly physical, partly logical." I lie confusion of rrlnciples in the different sciences, in these promiscuous enquiries, is sufficiently appa- rent. But it was by such a philosophy, that the orthodox language was settled." In the theory of the Incarnation, certain distinctions in Christ were the data, and Van problem was, to find a common idea in which they should agree." Thus, the simple and ancient belief, that God was in Christ, to save us Ironi our sins, is nothing more than a compromise of various sects, a compound of notions from various sciences; the solution of a philosophical problem, which maybe true or false, according to the human data. The "orthodox language," i. e. the language ol the Church of England, being only the result of a confus^H of scientific principles How can anything be more monstrous than all this? And are they, who would prevent this man from imposing those tenets on the minds of our Divinity students, to be accused ol personal rancour? This Professor talks, too, °f appealing, from Paul philosophising, to Paul preach- ing," and asks What is the chaff to the wheat ?" Can lie believe in the inspiration of the Epistles? If so, why does he charge their great writer with philo- sophising, which, in his meaning, is nothing but reverie and nonsense, human giddiness and learned absurdity. The crowning doctrine of the atonement he reduces to the statement—"That Scripture savs, looking to "ourselves, wo cannot expect happiness, that our "attention has been fixed on a lioly One, whose perfect righteousness it has connected with our un- righteousness. Thus Christ is emphatically said to "be our atonement. Not that we may attribute "any change of purpose towards man, by what Christ ,,has doiic." Now, is not this a direct denial of thdt suffering of Christ for sin, and the reconciliation of God, through that suffering 1 And is not this belief, the solemn and declared doctrine, to which Dr. Hampden has pledged himself in the articles, the doctrines of the English Church and the plain doctrine of Cbristiantv ? And what is he, who, in the robe of a Priest, and the authority ofta Professor, publishes this rash and sceptical denial ? And why are the alarms, the honest and sincere alarms of a Christian believer, to be charged as the outpouring of personal vindictivencss ? The inaugural discourse of Dr. Hampden, may be considered by some, as the best evidence of his present opinions. On the contrary, I presume to think it was but a heightening of his offence, retracting nothing and excusing nothing. III conclusion, I venture to express a hope, that the Bishop of LlandafT will not persist in his demand— that Candidates for Holy Orders should produce testimonials of having studied Divinity in so question- able a school; or if he does, that a rigid examination of those who produce them, on the points to which I have called your attention, will be instituted. But for this there is ample security in the learning and ortho- doxy of his examining Chaplain.

We conclude (though we have not- heard it) that the parish gene- rally have been consulted on the Bill in question. Thus far we bave spoken on authority. 11-c mtv now venture to enquire who are the persons who so disinterestedly take upon themselves to legislate on behalf of Merthvr ] Who arc the Ego ct rex nieus" on whose nod or noddles it is to depend, whether at one time the office of Stipendiary Magistrate is to be supplied bya Body Corporate, and at another whether the Corporation scheme shall be abandoned and a Stipendiary Magistracy restored? And all this is done, not accord ing to the fitness of things, but as may best suit the local partialities and prejudices, feelings and interests, of the Member and his man, or the man and his Member, as the case may be; for each, like the inmates of that pleasant toy, the weather house, has his day rule. Whatmostexcitesoursurpriseis.that this Duocracv should be permitted, by persons no way their inferior in station and intelligence, thus to lord it without remonstrance and resistance. We con. scientiously believe, that not a move is made in the game, without reference on the one side to the strengthening of Parliamentary influence, and on the other to the securing a post which has been usurped, namely, that of Director General of the affairs of Merthyr. The interest of the few, not the good of the inanv, is the animating motive, and we trust ere long to see this ridiculous faction broken down. Thc. day of reckoning is approaching, when Repre- sentatives must give an account of themselves and their Parliamentary doings. The times of physical strengthand mob intimidation have passed away. It is time for those who clamoured so loudly for Reform, and toiled and sweated so much to obtain it, to ask for fruits-and the "sour grapes" of Protestantism discouraged, civil libertv infringed, mercantile insol- vency, manufacturing distress, and a Poor Law Amendment Bill, will not satisfy the tastes of the s 1 and English people. A NEW MECHANICAL POWER.—An application of electro-magnetism to the movement of machinery, has been made by a Mr Davenport, of New England; and a model of apparatus for applying the principle, is now exhibiting in New York. Professors Silliman, Renwick, and others have expressed an opinion, that tile power of machinery may be increased from this source beyond an assignable-limit. It is also computed by these learned men, that a circular galvanic battery, of about three feet diameter, with magnets of propor- tionable surface, would produce at least a hundred- horse power! and therefore, that two such batteries would be sufficient to propel ships of the largest class across the Atlantic. The only materials required to generate and continue this power for such a voyage, would be a few sheets of copper and zinc, and a few gallons of mineral water.-American Paper.
