We are totally above the trilling and vulgar policy of making either too much of a triumph, or too little of a defeat. The examination of the Poll books has decided that Mr Grote is returned one of the four Members for the City of London, if no scrutiny shall fake place. The numbers were, for j\Mcnnand M ood 7 Crawford (io-i I Pattison (>070 587:1 Palmer This miserable majority <»! six, then, makes the whole dilicrence between having a vigorous and intelligent iiepreseutative of the lionour- able and responsible portion of commercial London, and having a low, bitter and ridiculous Representative of the rabble. SlIch is tllc wis- dom of the populace, and such is the working of that desperate revolutionary measure, the Re- form Bill. Xo man in his senses, whether Whig or Radical, doubts that Ballot, Universal Suffrage, and the fall of the Peers, would be the instant fall of the Constitution. Yet the multitude vote for the ranting and talentless blockhead, who makes it his boast that he bellows for the whole three. the most absurd of lhose who burlesque the name of public abili- ty, the four present Representatives of the City are probably the most burlesque. In the House totally ineffective, out of the House habitually laughed at; it they are silent,of course nothing if they speak, worse than nothing. Thus, either shutting or opening their mouths, certain to brillg some customary sarcasm on the "boobyism of City brains." Yet such men are the chosen of the Reformers wise and legis- lative rabble that ye ¡Ire! iiut why is this? The rabble can discover a fool as well as their hetters; they can enjoy a laugh at a miry brained blunderer, as keenly as any other men they can as readily, and they often do, pronounce on the hascllcss, sillillCSS, alld Slupirlily of .\[ellluer, of Parliament as well as any critic, or scholar in the land. Why then we ask do the rabble of Reform tolerate such men ? But for one reason that though they cannot Ilelp knowing them to be a disgrace to the common sense of the country, miserable creatures in private life, and dunces who cannot open their mouths but to bring scorn upon themselves and their Consti- tuents, they rely on their goillg all leng-ths The Republican, the Ruffian, the Hater of every great Institution of the Country, the Pai),sl> the rancourous Political Dissenter, all look to such personages as slaves, with the full con- fidence, that be their ferocious will what it lyl,'Y, it can meet no check from the hone.st.Vj prin- ciple, or feeling of such exhibitors. Time will shew whether tllis shall he the case, or whether fear, shame, or compunction may not stop them when the dreadful requisitions of Democracy shall be finally made. But nothing can be clearer than that the shirtless crowd who in unequivocal ruffianism throng the hustings, roaring for the Radicals, are not of that opillion; tliat, oil the contrary, they live in full hope of making those automatons ttie mouthpiece of every extravagance when the occasion shall arise and that, in this confidence alone, they vote for individuals whom their uncouth souls fully appreciafe, and of coune utterly despise. However, London is neither an example nor a guide of the national feeling. Prom the very nature of its crowded and profligate population, the populace must always dictate its Elections, so long as the wretched and mis-called Reform Bill shall take the power from the intelligent, opulent, and principled, to throw it into the hands of the men of the hovel. It was one of the iniquities of that most revolutionary Bill, that this subversion of every established rille of government should have been its direct object. One proof is enough. It had been proposed in the Whig Cabinet, to fix the franchise r.t £ •_><) a year- fix there, and you will shut out all our What was this but to say, crush the Constitu- tion, that we may plunder in its ruins, strip (ioveriiiiieitt of its dignity, force, and truth, that we may flutter in the rags of them all. Such is faction throughollt the world at this hour, in Spain,wading in civil blood in I' ranee, la\ jug the train fot utiiversalexplosion; in Ireland,poisoning the springs of Christianity; ;n Enlalld,tying the Constitution to the horns of the Altar of rebel- lion, to be sacrificed, in due season, with the popish hierarchy in their usurped pomp round it, and some craven Minister, some dwarfish tool of time-serving, some trembling slave in the robes of degraded office, standing to strike the knife into its vitals. And arc Englishmen to look on and be silent at the sacrifice ? But the Country Elections Itave alrpady shown what the feeling of the country-is. That gallant mute, General Palmer, and that prating hireling, Mr Roebuck, have been contemptuously turned out of Bath. Two Conservatives, and gentle- men, have replaced them. The result, I Lord Powerscourt says, will send one of the rejected to enjoy the populous solitude of where he is sti,-e to have intercourse with congenial souls, and ,v ill spoil the other's beggarly menialism to the Canada Reformers, stripping his collapsing purse of v'COU a year at one fell swoop." This is "the UUK iudest cut of all." At "Teymonth, I we rejoice stiW more to see the ignominious and ridiculous expulsion of Thomas Fowel Buxton, the ci-devant Quaker, whom the pleasantry of' the House has long designated as Tom fool. How this heavy-sterned legislator ever made his way into public life, or even into the mis- cellaneous civilization of the House, has lono- been a problem to every man who did not know the f-ralt of the individual and of the party that sent iiim there. He is it, the first place pro(i',gl()Iis all(i of' (*otirse a pro-Papist, an Emancipator of tin? first absur- dity, and aChampion (poordismantled creature !) of ail kinds of ^Dissenterism in xh»r% he ''goes the w, hole hog, all Jor the sake of his conscience But lie iitfs found his natural gravitation, he has gone plump4own and, like Milton's hero" still is falling!" -y- R

It is the common talk of the pounty, lV^'onl will Mr return fGr Mtrlhyr, in case he I should llimsdf be returned for tile By others it is said, Whom will the Jameses start for this borotigii Now, though we look upon Mr Guest's return for ti.a county as highly improbable, it is cer- tainly less so, since MR Talbot has attacked the independence ,of Glamorganshire by coalescing with him. Let every elector who values the blessing of independence, refuse to promise any individual whatever, till he sees who is to come forward for if a nominee of Mr Guest and the Messrs 1 James should' be elected, who will dare to say hereafter that Merthyr is not a rotten boroi<g?u

"1' #' ,1>'1 '1' CARDIFF UOitOLC.il KLF.CTIOW The oft Member of Parliament for this borough, took place on Monday last, the 24th inst. At eleven o clock in the forenoon, a numerous body of electors proceeded from the Cardiff Anns Inn to the Guildhall, where the returning: officer. C, C. Williams, Esq. Mayor of Cardiff, had already arrived. The meeting having been opened, the Town Clerk read the Sheriff's precept for the election of a Repre- sentative of the borough in Parliament, and also the several other documents necessary on such occasions. These having been gone through and the returning officer having enquired.of the meeting if they had any candidate to propose, the Iev. Dr. Williams, of Cow"- bridge, in a neat and concise speech, wherein he pointed out the acknowledged good qualities and qualifica- tions of the late Member for the borough, as its repre- sentative, begged to propose John Nicholl, of Merthyr Mawr, Esq. D.C.L. as a candidate for rc- election. Tnis proposition, which was received with shouts of applause, was seconded by John ilomfray, of Lindaff House, Esij. who expressed to the meeting his regret at the cause of the absence of Dr Nicholl. [Our limits will not allow our giving the addresses of the proposer and seconder in No other candidate proposed, the returning officer declared Dr. Xie|u>!l (!u!v e[0(.ted. flill, Nicholl, returned thanks to the electors for the honour conferred on his fripllll, and the flattering manner in winch the mention of his name had been received.

Tue usual oyal toasts were drank, and in the course of the even- itig many good songs were sung.

#1" sWANSEA ELE(;TIO\. (From our Correspondent.) The election of a Member for Swansea ami its contributarv boroughs, took phi/e on 'I'ut'sda.y last, at the Town Hall. The Mayor (Col. Carnero:,) after reading the usual preliminaries, came forward and aski-d if ;\11:- oee wished to propose any gentleman to represent them in Parliament, when L. \V. Diilwyn, ICsq., late M.P., saiil he had much pleasure in proposing his much respected and valuable friend, John Henry Vivian, Esq., as a fit and proper person deserving of the high honor of representing the Western Boroughs. Air D, commented for some time on the Parliamentary conduct of that gentleman, which he believed had given his constituents generally, the greatest satis- faction. John Rowland, Esq., (banker), of XCltth, came in front and expressed himself lilost happy in having the opportunity of seconding the nomination of Mr Dillvvvn, as lie fully agreed with the sentiments en- tertained by that gentleman of their late Member Mr Vivian. Colonel, (the mayor,) then enquired if the electors had any other person to propose; and, after waiting the usual time, and no one appearing declaredJ. il. Vivian, Esq., to be duly elected to represent tlwrn in the ensuing ParJiatnent; to which the thousands present responded with one voice, crying Vivian for ever. The ceremony of Chairing took phce soon after 13 o'clock, with every demonstration of respect. Bells ringing", cannons firing, band [(la ving, and banners flying, with different appropriate emblems. A great number of gentlemen, tradesmen, and others of the town and neighbourhood, formed a procession, which, upon a moderate calculation, must have been from 000 t) 11), 00 The I IC- t I c,, adverted to Ins Parliamentary conduct, which he hoped had given Ills constituents satisfaction, itis votes were given conscientiously, although SOlllp lIIaV be at variance with many of his constituents. Being as he vyns immediately connected and interested in the welfare and prosperity of the town, it's trade and constituency, he feit it to be the highest honour thllt could attach to him, as a Member of Parliament, to have the honour of repre- senting that place. After the procession had returned to the Town Hall, the Hon. Member returned thanks lorlJe honour con- ferred again on him by his re-election; it being,he said, the proudest day of his Iii-c observing, that the kindly feeling evinced by his constituents towards him would never be obliterated li,o in iiis memory. The ladies wore to be seen waving their, handker- chiefs at every window, as the lion. Member passed, which were decorated with laurels, flowers, and ribbons, the smiles of whom must have been highly gratifying to him. The Hon. Member ordered the populace to be regailed with a sufficiency of Rolls's XX., to drink the health of the young Queen Victoria. The Mayor very good humouredlygiv iug tiieiu as a word of ad vice the old motto" to be merry and wise" We are happy to add, that the whole, proceedings of the day went off with the greatest good order, and much to the satisfaction of every one without the slightest indication of disturbance. Much praise is due to our much respected towns- men Mr John Francis, and Mr Thomas Jones, for their able and judicious management on this occasion. The Mou. Member, after the business of the day, with his usual hospitality, entertained agreat number of his friends with a dinner, at Singleton. At 10 o clock there was a grand display of fire- works in the Burrows Square, opposite the Assembly Rooms, LIe windows of which, and 01 every house in the Square, were crowded with all the fashionables of the town and neighbourhood the fire-works were under the superintendence of a gentleman from Vaux- hall, and gave the greatest satisfaction to thousands of spectators. There were a great and splendid variety of wheels, skv rockets, &c., with green, blue, and red lights, and finished with a grand star, which soon exhibited the words Vivian for ever. "# EPIGRAM.

The Steward's Ordinary was well attended, as was the Ball at night. SWANSEA.—The Regatta went off very tamely—it is probably the last. There were no yachts. The races were confined to pilot boats and "altogether it was a very do'! affair. many Candidates were in t:;e field, and the elections were conducted amidst wreathed smiles" and tlie bounding of exulting bosoms to tiic mirth" o! dancing.

=-=. -_c_- --=- merthyr. ROROUGH ELECTION. The Merthyr election has terminated in a way most consistently with the cause of "Liberalism'"—and most disgraceful to the cause of decency, order, and common sense. Every trick and artiifce that cunning eould supply-every injustice that malice could perpe- trate—every fraud that could be adopted to rob electors of their privileges—-and,finally, every species of intimidation that Radical Ironmasters, assisted by their agents, could devise, have all been brought to crush tue freedom of election and to bear against the cause of Mr Bruce—and the issue has been that Mr Guest has been returned by a majority of 133. It is quite impossible that the success of so much falsehood and intimidation can be otherwise than temporary— the state of the representation of Merthyr will be brought before the House of Commons, and if this wretched borough is not. disfranchised, itseontinuance will be fraud upon the Reform Bill, and a disrace to civilized England and Wales. Some twenty years hence, perhaps, Merthyr may be restored to the list of boroughs entitled to send a Member to Parliament; at present its constituency, overawed by Dowlais and Cyfarthla, is a mockery of the very name of dent. We will proceed to give a short account ot the I proceedings which have taken place during the election that has passed—in which, as we before observed, every unconstitutional act that could obstruct the course ol independent thought and freedom of action has been practised by men who have arrogated to tile, titic. of "Liberal, which, being in- is freedom from all the restra ints of honour, the obligations of decency and the usages of civilised man. •" Monday, as we announced, was the d.vy of nomina- tion Dowlaispoured its myrmidons iutotbe town; but, m justice to the spirits who composed them it must be said, that the cry in favour of their employer, was feeble, hesitating, "and unwilling, and might easily have been converted into an Hurrah for the JJruce." I ne party of this gentleman confined their gathering to stich unbought and unforced attendance as chose to volunteer an appearance; and the heartiness of their cheers formed a striking contrast to the noise of tbeir opponents. The business of the day was opened by reading the proclamation, the writ, aud other formalities; upon which, j lwmas, Esq., the Returning Officer delivered a protest against the reception of the register placed in his hands, the requirements of the Act of Parliament not having A(,.t ( I been performed by his predecessor. We have since learnt that this important document had been in the hands of Ili- Committee, at the Rush, and what erasures and interpolations it may have received there, will appear before a proper tribunal; but we assert that a more flagrant dereliction of duty on the part of the offieer, and a more "ross instance of neglect or of partiality,has never been submitted j 0 a Committee of tlie I louse ol Commons since the passing of theReform Bill, Rut, to proceed with the uainuive. After these rOI':nalitil's ¡¡(Ie! ()/W;Udl'Ù, :\11' ('1"¡\1by rose to pro- pose Mr Guest to the consideration of* tile electors, "e was the only person listened to throughout the proceedings. Mis speech consisted of an eu'ogv on Mr Guest's consistency which, as Mr Crawsbay bad vigourously opposed Mr Guest at the last election, excited some astonishment among his bearers. Bllt on went the worthy speaker with bis praises of -lIr Guest, of Radicalism, and consistency utterly we hope) forgetting that he himself had so recently been the warmest supporter of Mr Meyrick, a Conservative. Truly, the weathercock paraded during the election was not all inappropriate emblem of this gentleman's versatility. Mr Christopher James seconded the nomination of Mr Guest.^ Mr Hill then rose to pro- pose Mr Bruce, and his rising was the signal for the Dowlais mo!) (which by tue bye, has hanpily enough received the nick-name ol Leans's Brigade,") 'to commence tlie veilings and hootings, for wiiic thev nad been collected, and which prevented every gen- tleman, who afterwards endeavoured to address tliem from being heard. Mr Meyrick in dumb show, Mr Bruce's nomination; and Mr Guest and Nir Bi-iice in vain endeavoured to get a 1, 0111 their senseless audience. The show of hands wis declared to be in favour of Mr Guest, although it is very doubtful, whether the people knew wbicb candi- date they were supporting, as the noise was deafening A Poll was then demanded for air Bruce. The crowd was immense: nearly 10,030 persons were supposed to be present, and the town presented a scene of the greatest disorder during the whole of the eveuiu" The polling took place on the next dav, Tuesday. It had been arranged that there should be three polling booths; one at Aberdare, one at Dowlais and one at Merthyr. It had been hoped that by these means the crowd would have been divided, and tint the operatives" of Dowlais, who had been so ob- streperous on the day before, would have staved to watch proceedings at home. But it had been other- wise planned bv the Liberal" party. N0 sooner had the polling commenced, than a band of ruffians as- sailed the bootb with volleys of the stones collected for the building of the new Market Place, and so effectu- ally preventcu the electors from that. after about SO had been polled, the Returning- Officer adjourned the poll till next day, having first recorded the outrageous disturbance that took place. Many persons were severely wounded; friends and foes suffered alike; alld we were sorry to observe a ellticlrl III o,t"j professional gentleman of the Liberal pady frig-htrully gashed in the face. The mob then paraded the street^ for the rest of the day, armed with large clubs and wijh stones, until the safety of the town was so endangered, that at nine o'clock in the ev ening Mr A. II ill swore in special constables for the protection of the peace. WEDNESDAY.—The polling recommenced at half- past eight in the morning for Merthvr and Vainor, Aberdarc and Dowlais having been completed within the prescribed time. In consequence ot the scandalous tumult of the day preceding, the Candidates and their friends had arranged that no banners, music, or badges should be exhibited, and that none but ElectorssllOuJJ enter the field; the last condition was found impracti- cable but owing to the arrangements which had been made, the polling was not interrupted. About one o'clock in the afternoon all the voters likely to be forthcoming having been polled, and it appearing by the books that Mi Guest was 13 a-Ilcad, both Candi- dates agreed that the poll should be closed. The numbers being. For Mr Guest 310 Air Bruce 177 Majority for Mr Guest. 133 The above votes for Mi Guest include a large number of persons who had removed to Rvmnv and other places, some of them r_etul'IlllJfor temporary occupa- tion but the Retui mug Officer allowed their votes, with a protest on Air Bruce's behalf. When it is considered that Mr Bruce, had to con- tend vitil tlle powerfu) influence of Cvfarthfa and Dowlais, both most earnestly and pressingly exer- cised: with the ultra-Radicals: with the James and Jones association- and, also, with an Ironmaster nearer home, Wit!1 whom, up to the dav of his start- ing, lie had lived on terms of the closest intimacy and friendship, it is a high tribute to the private and punlic character of Mr Bruce, that so many indepen- dent electors were found bold enouarh to espouse his cause; embracing though it did, the cause of the sick and aged poor, and that of the Protestant faith. Mr A. HILL then came to the front of the hustings, and stated that as the votes were exhausted, the Candidates had agreed that the poll should close he advised the people to disperse to their own homes,and to make up all their differences. Mr GUEST shortly addressed the electors, stating that though the poll could not be actually closed till four o'clock, he considered himself virtually their representative: that he believed the of his constituents desired a Liberal, and as lie bad acted up to Liberal principles, he trusted be had not forfeited the good opinion of his constituents. He had a hisfh respect for g;v(, ililn fill credit for honesty of purpose in his political opinions, and claimed such credit for his own. No doubt they de- sired the same end, the welfare of their country; but would use different means to obtain it. He earnestly recommended the to all their election quarrels to obliv.on, and to return to their homes, determined to forget and forgive. MK BRUCE then said, that the situation he then occupier had not been of his own s^ekin^; and that A. Hill and others could testify how importu- nately he had besought them to stand in his place- as, however, Mr Guest, not content with the borough, had grasped at the county also, he should be readily acquitted of presumption in picking UP a crumb winch had fallen from the rich manYtnble. It had been falsely said, that because he had been born and bred a mem icrof the Established Church, that he was thereto.e unfriendly to the Dissenters: a more scan- (Ialous eitarg-e had never heen made: he defied any man to say, that in the course-of rather a long and active life, he bad even oppressed or thwarted a Dissenter; that as to the cant watch-word of Ciril ard Religious Liberty, which some persons exclusively approp. uited, be thought they would find some difficulty in rlefining the motto-but he would tell them what it was not. It was conducive to religious liberty to follow submissively in the wake of y Ministry who were the too)sofapopish dictator—and he could also tell them what was not civil liberty, but that his trienc on hij lelt (Mr A. Hill) had implored him not to touch upon the Poor Laws, lest he should excite the people. He certainly had intended to have entered lully mtotiie discussion of the Bastardy, and non-relief clauses on the day of nomination, but his opponents harl taken pretty good care that the people should not hprlr him. As to what he had adverted to, touching tie lotostant Faith, it was far from his desire to raise an unnecessary cry of No Popery;" but it was the opinion of many wise and judicious men that the trotestantCtiun-h was in danger, and that the rtilei- ° ti present Ministry would never be content till he saw the Roman Catholic religion predominant in this country. Let tile Dissenters bcwrlre-Ict those who would have their Bibles unsealed, and read them with- out tear of detection, beware He begged to assure the electors that he retired from tue contest full of the warmest gratitude to t;iose who had supported him, and without the smallest particle of ill will to those who had opposed him. After the election was over, immense bodies both of Dowlais and Cvfarthfa men paraded the streets—for what purpose we could not discover, as both Air Guest and Mr Crawsbay, had, in their speeches, earnestly recomended the maintenance of the peace. It was thought tit, however, that an election farce so conducted, should maintain its con- sistency to the close, and that, as the battle had been ■fought and won by violence and intimidation, the sons of order and'civilitv"' should swell the triumph. Accordingly an immense mob—a most correct in- carnation of the virtues we have named—with the words Crawsbay and Guest, order and civility," printed on a brimstone ground, paraded the streets and illustrated the attributes thev represented throughout the remainder of the,I, v We cannot close this account without bearing our willing test.mony to the ;i(iinir:il)lc conduct of Mr Lsruce, throughout these proceedings.

But who is your master? 1 i did receive a letter from Mr Ilollord, desiring me to vote for Mr Guest, so I came to vote for my maister." « Yes, but the question is, do you vote for Guest, or Bruce ? I vote for mv maister." I'bis vvas all the reply that could be elicited and the faitatul fellow s vote was not recorded. Nvill some of our numerous friends favour us with an analysis of t.ie poll tor this borough ? Whether a constituency residing in five p0Und bouses, raised, for electioneering purposes, to ten pound beer houses is the constituency contemplated by the Reform Bill do not pretend to determine, but such is a large portion of the constituency represented by Mr Guest, It was with sinjubir propriety, therefore tuat the triumphal procession was beaded bv a Dow- lais brewer. Among the missiles used bv "Evans' Legion" on Tuesday, were small iron balls, weighing more tlJan a pound padi; and among the banners was one inscribed The Iron Trad* and another, "Punt;/ of Election." We have often heard of Election Balls, but they are generally addressed to the toe, and not the head. Shakspeare speaks of "sermons in stones;" we suppose those addressed to the electors bv the tioti- electors were open air discourses, and many a bat bore witness to the fact that they were felt, By virtue of the mode in which he gained his c;I(7<tio1'" *}T is "ovv calied by Ids friends, 1 he Electurof Saxony.

On the contrary, we learn from the best autitoritv, that Mr Palmer's committee are already aware of so great a number of bad votes polled for the Radical cai)- didates yesterday, that they have not the least doubt of unseating Mr Grote, and of establishing Mr Palmer as the sitting member. Mr Guest is said to he so enamoured of appearing between GROTE and GULLY, In the published lists of a division, that Merthyr is intended for one of these gentlemen, should a scrutiny unseat the former or if the latter will condescend to return to Parliament — an arrangement in favour of which, Mr David James is said to have reluctantly waived his own pretensions.

fttoumoutfiSlutT. -0 The Election for the Monmouth Boroughs has terminated in favour of Mr. Blewitt, bv a ma- jority of 54. The parting address of lir. Baiicv well explains the true cause of his defeat. It is a model of calin and dignified reasoning —of Christian for- bearance and gentlemanly propriety; and, if they have hearts to feel, will cause the blush of present shame and the feeling of future regret on the part of those who have dealt so treacherously by him. Of his opponent we will say nothing more, than believing that he has fanned the flame of popular excitement for private purposes, he will, we feel assured, disappoinj Radical expectation in the votes he will give, and his admirers in the speeches he will deliver. The Con- servative cause i:i the Monmouth Boroughs has sus- tained no real defeat. Cwild its supporters have stooped to the arts and descended to the practices of the Radicals, the victory might have been theirs but their laurels would have been irreparably tarnished. W e exhort the Consei vatives, therefore, to be of good courage, to centralize their strength, to remain firm, and tosbowa lesson of moderation in their unexpected defeat,worthy of the name and the cause they have espoused. MONMOUTH ELECTION. The contest for the United Boroughs Of* and USK, off" on Tuesday; and modern Liberalism, in alliance with Poppry, Democratic tyranny, and rank corruption, has gained the victory. A reference to the numbers polled, will show "that Monmouth and Usk, are virtually disfranchised or, at least, that the majority iti those towns, must submit to be governed by tIle minority. L.t us, we sav, have a "Rqalc" of the Union, and leave Newport "alone in her glory." The pretenders to purity mav ascribe their success to the very active personal influence and exertions of Philip Jones, Esq., the High Sheriff, of the county, and head ol the -Monmouthshire Banking Company.

G. George; and that Nir. Bailey was proposed by Mr. Williams, of Newport, seconded by Mr. Dyke; that Mr. Blewitt shortly addressed the Electors, and commended himself to tljeit- favor. Mr. Bailev then presented himself to their notice, and with a clear head and manly elo- quence, entered seriatim into the leading questions now agitating the public mind, and noblv responded to the call of Mr. George, by giving a full, honest, and very able expose of his political views, by which he should steer his public conduct, if etected their Re- presentative. Mr. Bailey spoke for more than three quarters of an hour, and was listened to with respect- ful attention. His opponents say that his abilities and aptitude for business reminded them of Mr. Hall and we believe that every respectable man in their ranks entertain sincere respect for him. In the esteem of his supporters and friends he stands higher than ever. TREDEGAR.—On Monday, the 17th July, ]837, there was a numerous meeting of the inhabitants and rate-payers of the parish of Bedwellty, in the ooullty of Monmouth, held in the Town liall, for the pur- purpose of bearing and dotermining upon any propo- sition that might then be made by or on the part of Messrs. Harford's and Co., for settling the differences at present existing between them and the inhabitants of Bedwellty, respecting certain public highways within that parish; when the parishioners came to a deter- mination that their solicitor, Thomas Jones Phillips, k*q-, should proceed w ith the indictment against the fords, unless they came to a" amicable arrange- ment, in 11 rlnvs frr.m the lTtll instant. A Votl of thanks v, as then proposed, and unanimously carried, to Samuel Homfray, Esq., as Chairman; when the meeting broke up. On the lith instant, our Sovereign, the Queen, was proclaimed in this town, and although the morniug was unfavourable with respect to tiic the proresslOn met no inconvenience, as It cleared up at four o'clock in the afternoon, and was numerously attended by equestrians and pedestrians. Loud cheering responded to the national anthem of God save the Queen. 0,1 Saturday, the 22nd of July instant, Major Holtord s supporters, accompanied by Summers Har- ford, and 000 or 700 of the Harford's men, came into ttustowt),to canvass the inhabitants in favour of the red; and, beillg" market day, great confusion was occasioned. I lappily the Tredegar workmen were too busily employed to join in the throng, or the red would have been more speedily beaten out of the field.

BRECOX, Saturday, July 29, 1S37. IVe need scarcely rcaauti our Brecon friends —friends of t! ueell and the Constitution, that the day for the nomination of Candidates fcr the County Representation, is on. Thursday I I i ue :nerler'Tice of non-electors on 1 these occasions has of late years converted I the "sllOw of hands" into a mere matter of form it not of mockery, it is at the Poll that the real strength of a partn, is ascertained, and we counsel the Conservatives to mustc r in fulift rce. on theirs/ day. and. by a triumphant majority, put an end at once to the hopes of the Radical Candidate, and to the disorders necessarily attendant upon an election. Be early therefore, at tne Poll. Exercise the great trust committed to you as men who understand its value and the purposes for which it was bestowed. Let no general notion of a speedy and easy victory- keep you at home- Consider it to be a posi:i \-e duty to enroll your names on the side of the Monarchy and the Constitution—but above all, on the side of PROTESTANTISM—for this is the great question at issue; and this question should enlist Protestants of whatever sect m ills defence. The opinions of men may vary as to the existence of, or the best method of cor- recting, abuses—but, with respect to the main- tenance of the Protestant Religion in us in_ tegrity, no man who has any regard for P i vine triifii. can hesitate as to the course lie should pursue. The present Ministers are but it kno of popish menials—compelled, if not ready, tv adopt any measures which their master pleases. To that Ministry, Major Holiord, if elertc. has pledged his support. We need sav no more. Electors of the loval <ouutv of Precon vo" M," do your duty, not only by placing Colonel Wood at the head of the poll—but by such a majority as wil! mark your sense of the meat iiiterests fie represents.
