We would not use this langllage in any instance to any body of men that bore the semblance of a legitimate Ministry of England but how arp. 1 11 we to discover that semblance in the dilapidated faculties of the Premier, in the empty petulance 0f Lord J. Russell, in the dandyism of person and politics,embodied in that office-loving person, Lord Palmerston, or in the owl-like gravity and somnolent wisdom of Lord Glenelg? As for the rest, no man knows more about them or cares more, than about the pages and cooks in the royal kitchen. They eat, drink and are merry, prepare, the official mess for their masters' tables, feed on its remnants, and are forgotten. But contemptible as this Cabinet is, it can signalize itself by doing irreparable mischief to the country. Neither the Papist nor the Radical will serve for nothing, and the feebler the Cabinet, the higher must be the wages. A few years more of this misrule must inevita- bly see all our great Institutions sacri- ficed. Democracy is already blowing the torch that is to reduce the Stale into ashes, for the simple purpose of clearing the ground for a Republic. Popery has already thrown off the clonk that hid the armour of the rebel ■ inder the vesture of the Priest, and is now openly brandishing the dagger against the Church. We repeat, that the question is not now between parties, but between essential vice and essential virtue; between the principles which concoct the life-blood of the nation, and the principles which infuse poison into every vein—Between the horrid sway of mingled malice and rapine, and the glorious supremacy of truth and honor. In one word, between Popery and Protestantism. This is the whole question. The Elector who is now called on to give his vote must be taught that he votes not for men, but for principles; the enquiry with him should be, shall I vote for the protection of my fire-side, or for its plunder Shall I vote for the Church in which I have been borll, in which the bones of my forefathers lie protected, 'and in which my children are at this time learning their duty to God and man, or shall I vote to put them into the hands cf some uncouth ruffian of a Popish Priest, who shall tell them that the Pope is a God on earth,, —that murder and adultery can be bought oft by paying the confessional,- that all oath is only a thing of words, and that all Protestants, himself alld his fathers included, let their virtues be what they may, are only food for sulphur- If Englishmen are not to be moved by such things, by what are they to be moved? What stones have supplanted the hearts in their bosoms? What sensual apathy can have blotted out all the warnings of ages? Or what solid and rapid punishment must they not be drawing down on their own heads, from an affronted heaven ? These feelings have still to make their way through the nation. When they have done so, all will be astonishment rhat they were not the ruling impulses of the Empire from the beginning. Their existence is its only hope of safety. It is honourable in the highest degree, to the estimable men who have already acted on these impulses that they have not waited for the terrible lesson of national calamity. In our own county, we have individuals worthy of standing forth in the first rank of national championship. We rejoice to see some of them coming forward, neither de- terred by the difficulties of the struggle, nor hesitating to divorce themselves from that private life in which the virtues and enjoyments of Englishmen grow up together more substantially than those of any other country of Europe. We should have more of such men. Glamorgan has its whole preponderance of property, personal character, and public distinction, CONSLitvATIVII. Need we mention to Welshmen the names of the Marquis of Bute, that noble friend of all that constitutes the virtue, manliness and pros- perity of Glamorgan the DUllravens, a family which at this hour are giving a proud evidence of their patriotism in the young and accom- plished Candidate for the County, Lord Adare; —the Dynevors,—the Jerseys,—the Morgans, —the Greys,—the Trahernes, — the Nidiolls, and a crowd of others, all alike vigorously and faithfully Conservative ? In Mr Bruce, the Candidate for M erthyr, we have a man whom, as Frederick ot Prussia once s-i-id of one of his celebrated comrades, we i should be equally proud to show to our friends and our enemies." Bllt how much nobler are the deservings of the true patriot than even of the gallant soldier;—the one coming forward in the spirit of peace to fix the rights of freedom, religion, and liiittiaiiitv the other, at best, plucking a precarious laurel from the miseries of mankind. Of Mr Bruce S opponent we shall here say no more than he can say for himself, which is—nothing. We shall not trouble our minds with comparing the intelligent Magis- trate, the educated scholar, the able speaker, and the wtii-itiforitied friend of the Constitution, with Mr Gueat, TIIt latter has, all onr pit: We pity his display on the hustlllgs-we shall pity him in his, we trust, double defeat; but most of all shall ne pity him if, by any accident of malicious fortune, he shall again worm his way into tlie House. There, indeed, our ridi- cule shall be mingled with our pity. Risu solventur tabulae."

The Electors of Merthyr may rely upon the following statement, as a fact:—One of the most influential gentlemen (a Whig) in the County of Glamorgan, enquired of a gentleman of equal influence in Merthyr, what would be the conduct of .Mr Guest, with respect to the Borough, presuming that he succeeded for both places. The gentleman interrogated professed his ignorance on the subject— •' Why," said the other, it is understood that Merthyr is promised to one of her Majesty$ Ministersor words to that effect.—If there be any pariicle of manhood in the Electors of Merthyr, they will sptira the odious com- pact which Mr Guest is making-if they have the mettle of Welshmen, they will die rather than suffer Merthyr vo be the pocket Borough of the Dowlais ironmaster. There is not a promise which has been made to Mr Guest, under an impression that he was can- vassing for himself, tile breath that uttered it. The question is no longer between men of opposite politics — between BRVCE and (iuiiST, but whether Merthyr, after a short enfranchisement, is already a Rotten Borough, -the private property of Dowlais,and worthy only to be included, under some new Reform Act, in Schedule A. From this degradation it remains to be seep if there be virtue and manliness enough in Me.rttyyf to r.ef;ne it. Men of all parties are interested ip 1i¡¡ uetqn, and they should unite to answer it in th only 8tit;sfactory way, by the Rejection 01 Nr

The Marquis and Marchioness of Bute are ex- pe ted at Cardiff CastU-, early in August. The nomination of candidates, for the county, has been fixed for Tuesday, the 1st of August-Lammas day CAERPIIILLY FAiii.-Lord Adare availed himself of the opportunity of Caerphilly fair to canvass the electors. His Lordship's success was most flattering and decisive. He was accompanied bv R. H. Jenkins, Esq, of Llanharran, Anthony Hill, Esq, Rev. George Thomas. Rev. Win. Price Lewis, John lIom- fray, Esq., William Meyrick, Esq., W. Thomas, Esq., \V. E. Williams, Esq., of Pwll y Pant, Chas. Llovd, Esq., E. Williams, Esq.. of Ystrad, H. Williams, Esq., of Duffrrn Ffrwd, George Williams, Esq.. Hendredenny, W. Morgan, of Watford, Joseph Davies, Esq., Rev. W. Watkins, Rev. H. J. Thomas, E. M. Williams, Esq., of Garth Hall, D. Hopkins, Esq., and other influential gentlemen. Mr Guest also canvassed but he had neither the smiles of the fair nor fair promises. He was accompanied by Mr- Perkins, of Merthyr, Mr L. Lewis, of Dowlais, (his Kingship's master of the horse,) and Mr W. Rees, of Llanvabon. The report of his success did nottraowit-e. INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD FELLA-IWS.-Tiie Third Anniversary of the St. Cenydd Lodge, Caei philly, was held on Monday, the 17th; when the members and others, preceded by banners and the Melin Griffith band, proceeded from the Castle Ion to St. Martin's Chapel, where an excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr Evans. In the course of the evening the chair was taken by Mr John Edmunds, of Penyrhose, and the vice chair, by Mr Eli rivans, of Whitchurch. The spirited address of Mr Edmunds, called forth the reiterated cheers of the meeting, in which he declared that the moral obligations of Odd Fellowship had tended greatly to check many of those propensities that youth and a .social desposition had made him subject to. The profound and sober remarks, both in Welsh and English, of the Vice Chairman, will not easily be erased from the minds of many present. Mr Owen Samuel, the G. M. of the District, on his health being drank, returned thanks, and addressed the meeting in the W elsh language, when all separated in good order, before nigbt had closed in upon them. BRIDGEND.—The arrival of Lady Adare, at Dun- raven Castle, has beeu a source of much gratification to the neighbourhood. Her Ladyship appears to have those right dispositions which make the residence of rank an influence, at once a blessing to the poor and an example the affluent. We sincerely trust that the ties which connect the family of Dunraven to the county of Glamorgan, may be still further cemented by the success of Lord Adare, and his return to Par- hament as one of our representatives. An antiquary observed lately, iu a field near Cow- ndge, a large erect stone, which he determined to be eitiiei- Druidical or Ionian. He enquired of his Welsh Cicerone, why it was erected? "For the cattle to rub against," was the reply. 1\'1 A. D DOGS. We are sorry to say that several cat- tie and sueep have been attacked and bit bv mad dogs upon I I irwiii, common. Two valuable oxen, belong- ing o Mr Richard Williams, of the Bwllla, Aberdare, were among the number. Many dogs have left their y lomes, within the last week, from the same neigh- )ouihood: and the farmers who have right of common are universally engaged in looking after their stock. NEATH. Mr Guest, accompanied by one or two county gentlemen, and a few of the respectable tradesmen of the town (but many of whom, bye the bye had no votes and as little interest,) canvassed this place on VV ednesday. The party was headed by children and some of those description of men always anxious to obtain drink, but who, unluckily on this occasion, leceived only a few shillings, after displaying such zeal and warmth for their Guest; and, at the close of the canvass, the consequence was, they parted anything but friends. The trick of this Guest to endeavour to neutralize votes was anticipated, and has proved a complete failure here, notwithstanding the attempts made to induce the voters to break their words. The men of Neath, however, will prove at the poll, that they are firm and true to their friends and promises. Tile Neath committee sit daily, and the returns made by the canvassers are, really and truly, most gratifying. MELANCHOLY Accii,Ei-r.-Oi) the evenin" of Wed- nesday last, July 10th, an awful and melancholy catastrophe occurrpd, (war a romantic village ill clv, Neath. A beautiful little girl, aged thirteen, the child of a peasant named Thomas Thomas, residing at Centre Clwvdau, while gathering wild strawberries, with her companions, on the summit of a precipice overhanging the liver Clwvdau, suddenly fell down the rock, a height of fifteen feet, and. though assist- ance was immediately procured, was taken up a lifeless corpse. SWANSEA.—The friends of Mr Guest are injuring the cause of Mr Talbot, by the use of his name, in conjunction with that of the ironmaster. A more unpopular man, in the county generally, does not exist than Mr Guest. His outrageous indiscretion, in attempting to secure the County, whilst he is a Candidate for Merthyr, has disgusted men of all p,irties, and the whole of Gower have determined to divide their votes between Lord Adare and Mr Talbot. .### COPPER ORES SOLD AT SWANSEA.-JDLY 19.

TO T|IK EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE & GUARDIAN. c StR,—I am sure you will feel anxious to hear accounts from all quarters of the progress of your late recrearit Member's canvass for this county. I have, therefore, much satisfaction in contributing to your numerous readers and his quondam friends, a history of his sup- porters and success in the central town of the county, where he arrived about two o'clock on Tuesday. The canvassing party consisted of the would-be new Member, and the Lady Charlotte, two Baptist Proachnrs, one Independent Minister, the Rev. Picton Jenkins, (under Ecclesiastical Censure,) a Socinian coal-merchant, a Catholic gentleman, a Radical lawyer, with a Gor-swain to steer them, and about 20 ragged urchins cheering the party (their only consolation), as they were civilly bowed out of the different houses, with an audible, but unequivocal, negative to their modest solicitations. The success amounted to two or three dissentino- votes, and some talk of another, from one of the reverend d canvassers; but, on a little cross-questioning from a bye-stander, it was discovered the qualification lay in the r.ext county, upon which the party consoled them- selves by determining the said vote could do for the Radical Mr Williams, in Monmouthshire. I am, Mr Editor, Yours, &c. spectator. THE MEN OF ST. PAGAN'S. AIR—" Croppies, lie down!" COM, fill up your bumpers, ye spirits so choice, And joia in the Chorus with heart and with voice To Glamorgan s old heroes here's fame and renown, The men at St. Pagan's who fought for the Crown. Down, down, Radicals, down The men of St. Pagan's they fought for the Crown. Our fathers drew swords for their King and their laws, And shed their heart's blood in defence of the cause For shoulder to shoulder, and on the right side, They fell in their ranks, and like heroes they died. « Down, down, said the foe, « CHt Vm down," « For while they have life they will fightforthe Crown." Old Ely ran red with our Ancestors' blood, It flows by the graves of the loyal and good And whenever we cross it we'll think of the men, And exclaim with one voice, like our forefathers then, Down, down, Radicals, down The men of Glamorgan will stand for the Crown. Though Radicals now have a different plan, And Cromwell's succeeded by Joe and by Dan, The Church and the Lords should the rascals pull down, The rent" would be paid with these gems of the Crown. Down, down, they'd melt it all down, And pay off the rent" with the gems of the Crown. And though now 'tis the fashion to war but with words, And to fight with long purses instead of long swords, Let but Treason appear, and it soon shall be seen, That again in Glamorgan we'd light for the Queen Let the trumpet be sbunded, thl aauntlet thrown down, Like the men of St. Fagan's we'd strike for the Crown. Down, down, Radicals, down Talk treason you may, but you shan't touch the Crown. Note.—The battle of St. Pagan's was fought in 1648, between the Royalists and Parliamentarians. Eighty Glamorganshire gentlemen were slain on the field. There is a tradition, that the Ely ran red with blood. f-r There were two misprints in our last song. Spirits for spirit-Conservatives for Conservative. LORD ADARE'S AND MR BRUCE'S CAUSE IS THE CAUSE OF THE FARMERS AND THE POOR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GUARDIAN. 8 1 R, -Allow me to say a few words to the Farmers and other Electors of this county, on the propriety (nay absolute neeestity) of supporting Lord Adare and J. B. Bruce, Esq., in preference to the Liberal, alias Catholic, and Socinian cause. Farmers open your eyes, and be awalte to all the crafty endeavours of the Reform party to gull you. Do not be persuaded to cut your own throats, by voting for those who have invariably shewn themselves, hitherto, the Farmer's enemy. Remember how they voted upon all subjects connected with your interests. Recollect how they have tried to ruin you and to support the commercial interest only. Look, I repeat, at both Mr Talbot's and Mr Guest's votes they are the men who tried to injure you by giving their support to the New Poor Law Act. Will you be persuaded to give your votes to those who are for dividing the husband from wife, the parents from their children ? Will you sup- port those who would do away with the Corn Laws, and so bring you to poverty ? Will you be smuggled out of your senses by the hacknied word Reform ? What, let me ask, has Reform done for us ? Has the Poor Law Act diminished your rates ? Has the Bastardy 13ill checked the growth of crime ? Have the Beer Shops tended to increase sobriety ? Has the punishment of poverty, as a crime, given happiness to the people ? The answer is—No! Why then will you support the advocates of these measures ? Be persuaded,then and, with AOARE and But CE as our Champions, let us oppose these supporters of O'Connell. Let us rally round the standards of two of the most ancient and truest friends of the people. Let us remember the ancient cry of" Wyndham for Ever," and not only Fuimus but Sutnus ready to support the good cause, and leave the supporters of the Catholics to the fate they deserve. Your well-wisher, Cowbridge, July 14th. A FARMER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GUARDIAN: SIR,-Some time since, the Editor otthe Cambrian newspaper vaunted, in his most ab y conducted Paper, that there were not more than 20 Conservatives in the populous town of Swansea! This must have been either a mistake of the learned Editor, in omitting a nought or two after his figure, or it was intended as a little Jett d'esprit with which to amuse the natives. If it were the first, he has so many apologies to offer for his erratics that he stands readily cxcused and were it the second, it must be viewed as one of the usual lucubra- tions of that erudite gentleman's vivid imagination, and therefore most pardonable. All people have their jokes, and the jokes of learned old ladies are not always of the best description. How- ever, I think Lord Adare's canvass in this Borough affords a tolerably correct illustration of the true state of the case. The fact is, that the elements of Conservatism are as powerful in the lioroughs of (Slamorganshire at they are in the Cottnig they merely require to be properly called forth, wet the gathering cry once be heard on behalf of a good Conservative Candidate, willing and able to fight the battle, and it wi'l soon be seen by the world who in these Boroughs are Radicals, and who are Conservatives, Anon you shall hear again. 1 remain, Sir, Your obedient servant, ONE OF THE TWENTY CONSERVATIVES.

IOLO FARDD GLAS. MERTHYR. The nomination for the Borough of Merthyr, is fixed for Monday next; the day of poDing, for Tues- day. At length Merthyr has found a Candidate in Mr Bruce. Wo have spoken elsewhere of this estimable man, in a way which the generous of all parties will admit to be True. All we have now to say is, that as he is fairlv in the field, may success attend him. Sure we are, that he is neither seeking his own ad- vantage, nor attempting to gratify his ambition. He is willing to forego the domestic comforts by which be is surrounded, to do violence to all the natural ten- dencies of his mind towards home gratifications, and to relinquish habits that are most dear to him, for the support of a good cause in perilous times. There is not a Welshman better qualified, by high attainments -by habits of business—by unblemished honour, and by incorruptible integrity, for the statiou for which he has consented to be a Candidate. The tribute paid to the character of Mr Bruce, by Mr Crawshav, the most formidable opponent to his success, was 11011OUrable to both; and the readiness with which Mr Meyrick, has waived his own pretensions, and the cordiality with which he supports Mr Bruce, entitle him to the praise of a most generous disinterested- ness in the great and good cause of Conservatism. As to Mr Guest, if the power ot working evil were limited bv a man's talents, we should be less anxious for the result of the election than we are. But the recorded votes of the late Member for Merthyr, are proofs to the contrary; and having, to the best of our ability, made war against the principles he supports, we will do all in our power to keep biin out of further mischief. A letter in our columns of this day, rough and pungent as it is, exhibits in the simple language of truth, sound reasons why those who wish well to their Country and its Institutions, should not vote for Mr Guest. To that letter, signed A.VTI-GLEST, we refer our readers. A TRUE Lisi-A List of 400 names, in support of Mr Guest, is promised this day in a certain Journal, not one half of whom are Electors-for what purpose but for deceit ? iVe recommend a comparison of this list, if it appear, wiCh the printed copy of the Register Among the various election stratagems of the Radicats during this last week, was a meeting called for the purpose of Fleeting a Member of Liberal Principles," for the Borough of Merthyr. A hand- bill, bearing no signature and totally unautbenticated, appointed the Vestry Room, as the place of meeting. However, the room was so crowded, that Mr Guest moved an adjournment to the new Market Place, which was soon thronged with electors and non-electors. Many of the friends of Mr Bruce, curious to see what was going on in the enemy's camp, attended. Mr Crawsbay, was unanimously called to the chair, and commenced by observing, that although this meeting was called strictly for the purpose of nomi- nating a Whig Candidate for the Borough, still he had noobjection to the attendance of those who dif- fered with him in their opinions.—With all due de- ference to Mr Crawshay, we conceive, that if this was really the object of the meeting, a greater accuracy in the wording of the handbill should have been observed. No man or set of men has a right to ap- propriate exclusively the title of Liberal." In what, we would ask, is Mr Bruce, a whit less" Li- beral," than his honourable opponent] Is be, or are his supporters, less liberal, less generous, less free from prejudice, less candid, less charitable, than the inde- pendent electorsof Dowlais? But we forget—there is one point in which Mr Bruce is strangely niggardly; and that is, he will not make promises which he does riot intend to, or cannot, perform. This, we are ready to grant, is very foolish, and very impolitic-but it is an amiable weakness, which if it cannot be applauded, ought at least to be overlooked.-But, to return to the meeting, Mr Crawshay proceeded to deprecate all personal hostility, all diminution of private friendship, among those,who happened to be opposed to each other. In the ranks of his opponents were those whom he loved ana honoured as much as anv men living-but he was a liberal, he was determined to bring forward and support a Liberal Candidate, and lie couceived that Mr Guest, was entitled by his conduct in Parliament, to the approbation and support of his present constituents. The Chairman then asked if any gentleman was disposed to address the meeting—upon which, Mr David James came forward and proposed a resolution, that Mr Guest deserved the confidence of the electors, and that the meeting was determined to secure his return. Mr Fothergill rose to second the resolution; he had, however, scarcely uttered a few words, when the bench, upon which the Liberals were elevated, came down, to their great confusion. The omen was speedily taken up, by their opponents; and, as Mr Guest's party had not far to fall, the cheers and laughter were universal. It was to ttie Hon. Can- didate himself a speedy illustration of the proverb of which we had only two days previously reminded him, that between two stools he would come to the ground." The coutre-tems was home with good humour, and order having been restored, the resolu- tion was seconded and carried.—Mr Hill then rose amidst great cheering, and said, that it had not been his intention to address the meeting, but that hw protested against the term "Liberal" being mono- polised by the opposite party. The gentleman, whom lie supported Was liberal in the true sense of the word, not merely in profession, but in action.-Mr Mevriek then rose and commented very severely upon Mr Guest's support of the cruel and oppressive clauses in the New Poor Laws Act. Mr Meyrick was listened to with great attention, and was much cheered throughout his speech—Mr Guest then rose, and a iiiore iiielaitclioiv exiibitiot, or petulance and disap- pointment was never witnessed. lie was coldly received, and, in spite of the exertions of the Chniruan, the talking and noise were so loud that he was scarce) v heard; and sat down, alter having endeavoured in vain, during five minutes, to command the attention of the meeting. For the benefit of those who failed to catch the words or the meaning of the ill-fated orator, we must inform them that the greater part of his speech consisted of an ill-tempered, unmannerly and ""J,0" tul1 Mr Meyrick an attack which called do wn that display of feeling which 'Drought the Monouia e ember s speech to so prematrre a con- clusiou. >e rest of his speech consisted of a vindi- cation of his conduct, with regard to the Poor Laws, and n promise to support the repeal of the obnoxious S" t uesk sat down amid very faint applause. t ti oe,,r^ ol'es then rose.

Mr Henry Jone* w^nfi 1 i° ''is hearers bv addressing them in "ft 1 J^Vam did he Cl7 °ut» Men of YVales," I •„ C Cymry," his unwilling audience drowned II voice with laughter and with shouts, and the orator sat down without being delivered of the mig 1 y sentences which he probab'v had spent manv nights 111 preparing. The men of Merthyr have before listened to the harangues of this gentleman and it seems that (whether rightly or wrongly, we do not pretend to say) thev are not anxious to hear him again. Mr Uenrv Jones should remember ttie Latin adage, Orator "fit, Poeto nasciturand console ltiltlself. It is not his fault, if among the labours, cares and fragrant odours of currierv, he should have been unable to bestow the proper time and attention nccess.iry for the attainment of the art ol leading the multitude by the force of words. Let mm confine himself to the cultivation of that poetical genius which nature has bestowed so lavishly upon 1 him,—let hi III court the muse that dieth not,"—and e nin content himself with living, as he has lived, the admiration of the Jameses, the Joneses and of iimself, and the bugbear of Taliesiu Williams. The iiirman, having then invited any other person to speak, and none answering the call, dismissed the meeting in a speech of great energy and eloquence; an which, from its manliness and candour, entitles him to the approbation of all parties. Speakillg of Mr Bruce, he said, I desire it to be distinctly understood, a no man entertains a greater respect than myself if j ^ruc6' J have a hundred times seen him oo[/gcd to sign a warrant with one hand, while he put e ot er into his pocket and gave the poor culprit money Jrrnn his private purse—I know no man of a kinder heart, of a more charitable disposition; and I never heard a whisper of censure or suspicion which could sully the fair fame which he has jo justly earned If 1 oppose him,I do not oppose the MAN, but the M E A S LUES he advocates-for in everything, but in the representa- tion of this Borough, I most heartily wish him success and happiness." No part of Mr Crawshay's speech was better received than this; loud cheers were raised, a tribute as well t" the generosity of the speaker as to the public estimation in which the gentleman spoken of, is held. On the whole we wish every man, in the Borough of Merthyr, could have attended this meeting; they would have returned to their homes with in- creased esteem for the character of Mr Bruce, which could elieit such warm applause from an opponent; they Would have returned, filled with the idea of the weakness and unpopularity of a party, which having called a meeting of its own, and stocked it with its own emissaries, should have so utterly failed in its object, and been turned into a Conservative triumph. .###,##"# THE FOUR WHIG CARDINAL VIRTUES.

I he Candidate observed, We are sure of that voter on the Galatean principle." .Alam fugie ad suhess sed ss cupit aille viicri," LIBERAL PRINCIPLES." The Burgesses of Merthvr, &c. are aware that a Meeting was called on Monday last, to fix on a can- didate of "LIBERAL PRINCIPLES," to stand for that Borough; and, 011 the proposition of Mr David James, seconded by Mr Jothergill, Mr Guest was fixed upon as the representative of LIBERALITY. We beg to subjoin a letter we have just received SlK,—I was lately sent for by -Ir Bruce's committee, for the purpose of carrying letters and messages. Three days afterwards, my father's horses were discharged from the D(,II-LAIS M ORKS. Your humble servant, WILLIAM WILLIAMS. The above is another instance of the honourable conduct of the" Liberal Principle gentry." We are certain that no other ironmaster in the country would have been guilty of so paltry a revenge. Indeed there were noble instances to the contrary at the last election: nd we are bound to quote Mr Fothergill as one. Many electors in his employ voted against his then friend, Mr Meyrick, and for "the man of Liberal Principles: not one of these men were dis- charged or otherwise ill-treated bv him oil that ac- count and he now declares that he wishes all electors in his employ to vote according to their conscience. We must also do Mr Crawsbay the justice to say, that he has declared the same sentiments. In consequence of the indignation expressed at this transaction, the horses, we hear, are now restored to their work, and full compensation made for the day on which they were idle.

fft 0 itrno ttthgftt vc. The nomination for the Monmouthshire Boroughs is fixed for Monday next, and the election011 Tuesday. ELECTION FOR THE MONMOUTHSHIRE BOROLGHS — Mr Mostyn, the under-sheriff, arrived in Monmouth with the writ for the election of a member to represent these Boroughs in Parliament, late in the afternoon of Tuesday last, and immediately waitfd upon Henry Hughes, Esq., the Mayor, who on being informed that the Town Clerk was not at home, and it not being at the moment known where he was to be found, deputed Mr George, the solicitor, to prepare a notice for posting up, fixing Saturday for the day of nomina- tion, and Monday for the polling, This notice however, had scarcely been affixed against the Town Hall, before it was torn down by the Mavor himself in consequence of Mr Williams, the Town Clerk's: unlooked for appearance in the Town (having been no further off than the Beaufort Arms, which adjoins the Town Hall,) and discovery of the error which haste had betrayed them into. From Tuesday afternoon, fiv, o'clock, to Saturday llo clock in the forenoon, not being the full four days notice required, it became necessary to alter the days to Monday and Tuesday. We would not insinuate that there was any unseemly eagerness for the contest, or that the worthy Mayor of Monmouth could have anv unworthy motive. Thus far our correspondent. We have heard from various quarters that the High Sheriff ol the county has been a very prominent partizan for Mr Blewitt, and using that sort of influence which cannot be called scrupu- lous or delicate -but it will not avail Mr Bailey is to represent the Boroughs of Monmouthshire. Thursday the 13th inst., the half-vearlv clear-off night of the True Blue Benefit Society, took place at the Club Room, Salutation Inn. The meeting was numerous. J. Bailey, jun (who is a member) with other gentlemen members attended. Mr Bailey spoke at some length, to the great satisfaction of those present; the contributions received this night amoUII!t.t1 tu uell.l-ly "ttiU. The society has been established four v attd the lunds ist-imud amount to upwards of j?7<K). TitEDEC.AR Mr John Llewellyn has at last been determined on, and appointed our Spiritual Pastor in this town. We understand lie is likely to give great satisfaction to his congregation. Our superintendent has been absent for several days, in pursuit of William James, who was com- mitted some weeks since, from the Petty Sessions, held at the Rock Inn. in the parish of Bedwellty, for obstructing the working of the Waterloo Colliery, and who, with the constable, effected their escape. Tiie superintendent having traced him through Glamorganshire, succeeded in apprehending biin at Newport, from which town lie was safely conveyed to Moninouth gaol, on the 5th instant. On Saturday the Sth instant, William Griffiths, was brought before Samuel Homfray, Esq., at the Town Hall of Tredegar, for stealing a pair of shoes in the Tredegar Iron Works, and was fully committed to take his trial at the next Assizes. So wonderful has been the change in the habits and customs of the inhabitants of this town, within the last four months, that we are bappy to state the greatest decorum was observed on the day appointed for the interment of our late lamented Sovereign. The shops were half closed during the day, and the market and public-houses entirely cleared, and all tranquil by nine at night. It gives much satisfaction to witness this reform. We hope iiillccfeJy I may long continue. NEWPORT.—On Saturday last, the first spring ship, Prince Regent, commanded by Captain William Moon, and consigned to Mr R." Harrhy, arrived here, with a cargo of timber, from Quebec. Ever since the Regent has been in possession of the present spirited proprietor, Mr William Phillips, through the per- severance of a steady master, her return, like a bee to the hive, has been calculated on pretty accurately. For the last three years, she made two voyages an- nually, to America, with cargoes out and home, and has rarely been more than three months from her port at one time. She has all the appearance of a first rate ship, and although an old friend, is pre- ferable to many new vessels. Her cargo is dis- charged, and she will be loaded and ready for sea, on Wednesday next, replete with every comfort and convenience for passengers. On Tuesday a sphooner was launched at Newport, huilt by Mr John Young. NEWPORT.—On Tuesday last an inquest was held 011 the body o| John M'Cabe, a stout able man about 38 years of age, who died ou Monday, under the follow- ing awful circumstances. It appeared that the man and his wife (Irish) having been married J3 or 14 years, lived in this town a few months, and kept a clothes shop in Market Street. They were both in the habit of drinking and quarrelling. On Saturday last they had a dispute in the morning, and the wife was kicked out of doors, the husband brandislijtng a naked sword and swearing he would cut her head off if she returned to the house, In the middle of the day she came back and. foond the man drunk and asleep 011 the counter; another quarrel ensued, and S,JC W¡\S again beaten ad turned oat. She returned about ;>ine o'clock at night, the sword was a^ain pro- duced, w hen the woman picked up a stone and struck the man on the side of the head, and on Monday tnortllllg he died. The man and woman, on Satur- day, had both drank freely the man, it appeared, had not been sober for three months, indulging In spirits and other liquors. The body was in a deplorable state, the face black and much decomposed, the wound appeared small, and hied freely at the time of the accident, fhe head was opened and examined by Mr Joheiada Brewer, surgeon, and assistants, *1;q found the scull fractured and a piece of the bone driven into the brain, which was the cause of the man's death. I he Jury, of which Mr Webber was foreman, having sat some hours, adjourned to 7 o'clock in the evening, to hear further evidence, which was then adduced. After a consultation, they returned a verdict of Man-slaughter, and the woman was cominitted for trial. Groups of people were collected in the streets all day, and the circumstance caused great excitement in the town. .rttJOu 8attt.

BRECON, Saturday, July 22, 1837. The ensuing week will probably determine many of the Elections for places within the circulation of this journal. In Brecon, for eopnty and town, our cause is secure; and 0 a though we are not prone to shout victory before the battle is won, nor disposed to boast on the putting on of our armour like men who put it off, yet, as the contest in which we are about to engage will be determined by numbers, and as a reference to the Registration lists shows a large preponderance of numbers on th-j side of the Conservative Candidates, we repose with confidence on the certainty that the triumph is already that of the Friends of the Constitution, and the supporters of the Altar and the Throne. In the adjoining County of Monmou:h, although the contest between Mr Bailey and Mr Bleweit promises to be severe-yet the issue we have reason to believe is not doubtful. The ultra Radicalism of the latter Gentleman has failed in its object; he has overshot the mark and, to use the terms of a profession with which he is familiar, he has injured his cause by attempting to prove too much. He has endeavoured to spread a net so wide as shall inclose every shape and size of Liberal and Republican, and has thus frightened away as many as be has caught. His post-prandial Address will not bear the morning's reflection, and he must first elevate some of his supporters to the same temperament before he can calculate upon their services at the hustings. But men may be drunken, though not with wine," and stagger, yet not from strong drink." The extreme opinions professed or entertained by Mr Blewitt may produce a mental inebriety fatal to the right exercise of reason, and favourable only to democratic ex- cesses-a torch in the hand of the maniac were scarcely more to be deprecated than political power entrusted to the of Mr Blew itt's opinions. We have in another part of our paper endea- voured to show the mighty issues that are at stake, and the motives that should influence the Electors every where in the choice of their Representatives. If the contemplatjon of the importance of the cause will not arouse them to exertion, and if the highest motives that can animate the soul of man will not quicken their activity, any lecture that we can give will be in vain. To all those motives and feelings, in the sincerity of our hearts, we believe that Mr Blewitt is opposed ;-lie is on the side of those who at one moment speak of the discouraging blow given to Protestantism," without regret, and at another by the mouth of the Queen, boast of the support they will give to our ecclesi- astical and civil institutions by the maintenance of their fundamental principles." In such men we can have no co-ifideii(-e-tliev are the s'aves of a Popish faction, and it is the duty of Pro- testants to rescue the Queen from their hands. Of the present Cabinet it may he said, as it once said of that of which the. Duke of Grafton was the head, that it is the creature of accident, adopted withcmt choice, trusted without confidence, continued without favour, and in due time, will be discarded with- out the forms of regret. Round Mr Bailev then the friends of the Con- stitution will rally-lie is not, as his political enemies would assert (other enemies he h.,s none), a man who wou!d think that all im- provements are dangerous. We believe his opinions are these, and we express them 11t better words than our own, although we fully concur in the sentiments they convey, re ï's a politician holding a middle course' between extremes, avoiding alike the extravagances o>" despotism or the licentiousness of uubtiiiled freeuoill; reconciling power with liberty, 1I(1 adopting hasty or ill-advised experinv/u', r pursuing any airy or unsubstantial theories • but not rejecting, nevertheless, ttie applaud 01' sound and wholesome knowledge iu 5>rac■ i<■;• I affairs and pressing with tobriciy and eaui.-Ju into the service of his country everv generous and liberal principle, whose excess indeed may. be dangerous, but whose foundation is iu trulu
