The Glamorgan Monmouth and Brecon Gazette and Merthyr Guardian

SIR J. COLERIDGE'S CHARGE. a The admirable charge delivered to the Grand Jury of Glamorgan, by the HOII. Mr Justice Coleridge, at; the last Lent Assizes, has been printed by desire of the Magistrates, and a copy is now before us. A better address we never read -it isequallv distinguished for the chaste and perspicuous character of its style, and for its luminous exposition of the law, as it re- lates to the offences to be submitted to the Grand Jury. Too great pubjicity cannot be given to his Lordship's opinions on the subject of wrecking-and it would be well if this portion of the charge were printed in a cheap form for distribution: The first charge, (says his Lordship) is against three persons, for what is commonly denominated wrecking. Since I have had the honour of a seat on the bench, I have not been called on to try any Such offence; nor have I had acquaintance enough with this county to enable me to say whether it is a crime of frequent oc- currence on your shores. If, however, it be a new or unusual offence here, or if, unfortunately, I am to con- sider it as one which disgraces your population by its frequent recurrence, in either case it is necessary to repress a crime of such magnitude and mischievous consequences, by the strongest interposition of the law. It is fitting that your population on the sea-coast should be taught how seriously the law regards the offence, and upon what grounds—that it is not because the ship, its stores, or its cargo, are a species of property which, in themselves, it is more wicked to plunder, than any other-but because it has been found that the plunder of these leads more frequently, by more obvious and certain steps, to the commission of brutal violence, and even to the destruction of human life. It is indeed melancholy to think, where this crime has become ha- bitual on a line of coast, to what a state of savage and deliberate barbarism it has reduced the people-to any one of us the spectacle of an impending and in- evitable wreck would be, perhaps, the most heart-rend- ing which could be imagined; the dullest and least courageous among us would be roused to very active exertions to ward off the ruin or administer help to the sufferers it is, however, the tendency of this practice to make that spectacle not merely a matter of indif- ference, but of savage and selfish p 'lea-ure-nay, to inure the mind to contrivances for bringing it about- and not only to steel the heart against active pity towards our fellow creatures in that most fearful agony of human life-but to urge us on to deeds of violence and blood, so much the more atrocious, as the objects are wholly unoffending, and in circumstances which in themselves might soften the most obdurate natures. I do not mean to use the language of exaggeration in this place-what I say, you know that history attests to be the simple truth-it cannot be too widely or too generally circulated; for many commence the practice of plun- dering wrecks in blind imitation of what their fellow villagers have immemorially done before them; not aware of, nor intending to advance to the fearful con- sequences I speak of—often, indeed, half-persuading themselves, that if not entirely innocent, it is, at least, a very venial offence to appropriate to themselves that property, which the storm has deprived of its owner- and which, they think, might perish uselessly, if they neglected to take it as cast before them. With such notions they naturally are led to set themselves in array against the law as too severe, and partial—regard- 'I ing it only as framed for the protection of property, or the manorial rights of the lord. In the present case, it appears that a vessel with a general cargo, having been driven on shore near-Una- raven Castle, a great number, of persons, I may indeed say the whole neighbourhood, turned out, apparently with no shame, and little concealment, and proceeded to the plunder of the wreck as a common property. The facts of the case are not stated with much distinctness in the depositions, nor shall I attempt to give them to you in detail. But I am anxious to take this opportunity of stating to you the several enactments of the law on this subject. Here his Lordship states the several enactments of the Law. The result of the whole is this; where the offender boards the vessel, wherever therefore there is temptation to commit violence, the punishment is death. The crime is barbarous and barbarizing—it tends directly to provide against its own detection by the making away with those who might be interested to prevent or prove it- it is a crime that spreads upon a line of coast, and becomes imprest upon the habits and feelings of the people-tlke law, therefore, calls forth all its terrors to repress it. Where property only is concerned, the punishment is lighter—but considering how difficult it may be to prove the actual taking, how urgent the necessities, and how feeble the means of a ship-wrecked stranger far from his own home, and among a population united, perhaps, to suppress inquiry :lP(' prevent detec- tion, the law calls on the subordinate officers of the public, the exciseman, the sen-ants of the customs and the peace officer it encourages all by the hope of reward to assist him-it casts on the possessor of the plundered property the burthen of proving his possession to be rightful—and it arms the magistrate vvith summary and plenary power to do right and award summary punish- ment.'

GLAMORGANSHIRE ELECTION. rrbc nomination of the candidntes for this county tOOk. place on Tuesday last, at Bridgend. The hour appointed by the High Sheriff was nine o'clock. It *h'HSH,ra"^ that Lord Adare's friends should meet on his way from Dunraven Castle, at Kwetiny ridge, and escort hiin to the hustings. At half-past s> ih su,cordi"Sly, his Lordship's supporters as- "led in great number-; we noticed upwards of "rty carriages, and the cortege of gentlemen and aTd f'°rS °" horseback exceeded GOO in number, made his Lordship'? entry most imposing. Con- JV<cuous in this muster of the noble and loyal was the ^gutre at Uanharran, wiio joined the train iu his car- lH{fe ^'id four, followed by upwards of 150 grey- ated tenants and freeholders, who wore anxious to pince their gratitude and attachment to their old 'end ;in(j benefactor.

Shortly alter his Lordship's arrival, Mr Uest made his appearance,supported by Mr Crawshay, £ ?r Eothergill, and Mr W. Coffin, and followed by Mr • James, and some few other Merthyr shopkeepers; *"d about half an hour after the time fixed by the Mr Talbot arrived, followed by Mr Moggridge a»d about 200 of his tenantry and supporters.

Colonel OIGBY MACKWORTH begged to se- Rd the nomination of Lord Adare, and would his reasons for so doing. Lord Adare was friend to the Protestant Religioo,-be was no advamte, for edueation which excluded the Bible, ■». *°uld oppose the insidious and unprincipled ag- which the Catholics and Radicals uuited making on the Church of England, under the °f improving it,—he would not yield a wr_ obedience to the dictates of a man, whose only of aupport were wrung from a starving people *g(tation and menace, and whose designs were jJP*Qly avowed to be hostile to the best interests of '^SUnd. They were told that Lord Adare was too e| important a trust. It was for Ihe eetors to judge whether or no a youth of. promise as preferable to matured incapacity. It was very slble for a young muu to be wise, and for an older Ul to be unwise. It was wise in Lont Adarc to give ^P the pleasures and. comforts which his situation in 'uruishod, and the attractive pursuits of science, it setise ul patriotic duty, and nobly thus to answer in the iutelligciifraurt influential meu who hud '>'rn to stand. It was unwise in Mr. (luost to l^?tpH to the" seductive voice of ambition, and to allow be flattered into a belief that he .would be T^tJible to tlte Electors of Glamorgan. He was to inform them that Lord Adare's canvass been jfiost sttcccssful, that the triumph of hi' :'niplethaclbeen.wolOt èomplcte, and that, if promises Wo ere to be relied on, he every hope -of- being re- ^irned by a hirge mnjority. We have given but a _r,e^outline of the gallant CotjOneFs speech, which loudly cheered throughout. Colonel CAMERON then proposed Josiah John Esq., of Dowluis, as a candidate for the ^presentation of the county. It was utterly, impos- 8»ble ftj,. us f0n0w the wanderings of this rambling 'tor. His speech consisted firstly of an attack on jjjiuidlottds who forced their tenants to vote against *'°ir consciences. Whether this was meant as a -Proof to Mr. Guest for causing every one of the 150 ^"dependent elecfcors of Dowlais to vote for him, or ? Ir. Talbot, whose tenantry by word and look gave ^of tho reluctance with which they split their for Mr. Guest, we do not pretend to say. The Colonel informed us that he had been so libe- j** so wise as not to canvass his OWIJ tenants, and 'OPed atlior landlords would do the s;i -iie. Secondly, ",e gallant orator assaulted the Clergy—for what ^*ons we were not allowed to kuow. Thirdly, the Wt proposer of Mr. Guest asserted that the r^tion of Dowlais and Margarn was a. coalition of lu "k'Ples, and not of party; but failed to make it •of st°°d by what process the principles of a follower tfVff^rd Lansdowne's, and of a train-bearer of Mr. ?WHel's, were assimilated.

He began by obs^ry- «eel{in(r k 8 present situation was not of his own ■°f a ja that he had yielded to the solicitations "J hese Jff a"d highly respectable body of the electors. re tlw tiajes iu which the ease of retire- ment and the enjoyments of home Wi-ro to he preferred, to the arduous, but all important performance of public duty. lie had obeyed the ca!l of the electors of Glamorgan he had, as tar as it was possible for him to do su, personally called upon every elector, and was happy to say, that if he had himself spared no exertion that could ensure success, the electors on their part, had nobly redeemed their pledge to support. It had. been. objected to him, that he was not a Welshman-that he had no sym- pathy for their feelings—no love for their country. It was known to most of thon present, that his mother was the daughter of the Welshman, who had been so fortunate as to be their popular and respected member for nearly 20 years. They would readily grant that he could have no voice in choosing the place of his birth, otherwise he would have had no hesitation in preferring Dunraven Castle, to London. But of this be would assure them, that the cold fogs of London had not been ablfe to etfpel or to cool the warm Welsh blood that glowed in his veins. In the course of his personal canvass, the kindness with which he had been received, every thing that he had seen, had tended to bind him more and more to his and their beautiful colmtry; and he must say, that by blood, property, and personal ties, he was as much bound to the county of Glamorgan, as either of the candidates now present. It should be his highest object, and his constant ailn, -it) Parliament or out of Parliament, to further their interests, and to evince his gratitude font he approbation with which they had honoured him. Thenyouldfjnd him a firm supporter of Protestantism, a stanch friend to the Bible, and disposed to concur in any measure that would further the better religious observance of the Sabbath. He was averse from the violent organic changes, which a Ministry, weaker and more incapable than any that ever guided the destinies of this mighty Empire, was rashly introducing, to the great peril of a Con- stitution whidl the common assent of the best and wisest of men had proclaimed to be the consummation of human wisdom. He did not wish to be bdlilld the age, to stand still when every thing else was advancing; but what he wished was-to moderate and direct that rage for change and destruction, which was but too evident in the self-cdled Reformers. With regard to the Poor Laws, he certainty saw great defects in the manner in which the old law had been administered but it was his anxious wish to mitigate the hardsuips, and to abolish the arbitrary powers which the new Bill had introduced. We would give this question that careful consideration, which humanity, whichitterktioii to the comforts and moral improvement of the poorer classes of society, re- quired. He was not bigotedly attached to the pre- sent system of levying the Church Rate, and would have no hesitation in supporting a measure like that introduced by Lord Altborp. Let not, the People Of Wales be deceived by the cry raised by the opposite party, that their cause was the cAuae of the Queen. Had the Queen's opinions been completely hostile to those entertained by the Ministry, she could not have n slil' acted otherwise than she bad done. She had dissolved Parliament, leaving the Ministry in the possession of that power which was theirs at the death of the late King, and she left it to be decided by the country, in y the present election, whether or no this millistry was deserving of her confidence. It was for them, there- fore, to decide the fate of the Ministry—they were called upon to exercise "their privileges in the defence of good order, of their venerated religion. of their matchless Constitution—and to them he fearlessly left the decision of this momentous question. Lord Adare Was loudly cheered throughout a speech admirable in its matter, in its arrangement, and in its delivery. We do hot pretend to present, anything more than a faint though correct outline of his Lordship's sentiments—but we are bound to say that the eftects of his speech .were .most important as it utterly confounded the falsehoods of those per- sons who had asserted that his Lordship waS represent the interests of this important county. It was clear to the dullest-apprehension-that as no speech was so loudly cheered, so none delivered oil tns day so well deserved the approbation which it received. Mr GUEST lastly addressed the Meeting, and re- peated the numerous inanities with which he has so long been regaling his admirers at Dowlaíl1. It is as wearying, as it is useless, to repeat the maudlin liberalisms of this quondam Member of the Pitt Club — this upholder of tue truck-system—this professor of every thing, and performer of nothing. But one thing we must notice, as characteristic of the man, that by way of an elegant wind-up to his speech, the Member for Merthyr thought proper. to accuse the High Sheriff of gross partiality, in appointing so early au hoar, as nine o'clock iu the morning, /or the business of the day. THB HIGH SHBRIFP properly reiented what be justly called an insidious and ungentleihanlike attack, and said, that as the Act had directed that the no- mination should take place at any time, between eight and eleven, he had fixed upon nine o'clock, as a convenient hour for all parties, as it would enable them to resume their business in the afternoon. Colone! CAMEBOY begged that the Sheriff" would retract the word "ungetitteinatilike," and substitute "unwarrantable" in its place, w.hich the Sheriff accordingly did. Colonel MACKWORTII settled the matter, by saying that as the Act had fixed that the nomination should take place between the hours of eight and eleven, the business of the day having, through the delay of one of the members, actually commenced at half-past nine, it seemed to him impossible that oititer party could complain of an undue partiality. The solution of Mr Guest's indignation may, we believe, be found in the fact, that a party of -Dowlisiatis were on the road, for the purpose of making a demonstration in his favour, and that this notible and worthy scheme was frustrated by the earliness of the hour. Here the regular business of the day ended; but Mr Joseph Price was bent on giving some advice to the elec- tors before they dispersed. He first was good enough to warn them against the use of ardent spirits, and afterwards gave his reasons for supporting Messrs. Talbot and Gufst, which, as they cannot be of the slightest interest to any of our readers, and as our account has already been extended to a somewhat unreasonable length, we fear, must be consigned to the oral tradition of his hearers. Mr. BOOKER rose to reply to him, and spoke, as he always does, with a happy mixture of wit and elo- quence. He drew a striking comparison between the coalition of the Whigs and Radicals at Litchfield House, on a late occasion, And the minor coalition which has excited so much disgust among the more moderate and respectable VVhigs. He gave most convincing and unanswerable, .answers to many of the arguments brought forward by his opponents, and exposed their fallacies with au irony and power that cut them to the soul. The Sheriff now called for a show ofhallds, and aftet consilrabie hesitation, declared it to be in favour of Mr.' l'albotand Lord Adare. A poll was demanded by the friends 01 Mr. Guest; and thus ended a meeting, which no Conservative who attended it, will ever think of without an honest feeling of pride and satisfaction at having such good champions tosogooda.cause.. We cannot pass without notice the admirable arrangements which were made on this occasion. The steeds of Lord Adare's mighty cavalcade disappeared as if by magic, and every tiling was conducted with the greatest order, until the business of the day was over, when a tew single coinjwts here and there gave evidence that the decay of public spirit, lamented at Westminster, had not extended to Wales. .ø# ,.¡ By the death of the Hon. Mrs Grey, the poor in the neighbourhood of- Duffryn, have lost a generous and sympathising friend. And as since, by settlement, her property passes toanothe)' branch of the family, we rejoice that it has fallen into hands equally prompt to acts of charity and benevolence. In J. B. Bpupe, Esq. now the inheritor of the Duffryn Estates, we re- cognize one to whom An accession of fortune is chiefly valuable as the maunii of a more enlarged philanthropy. Nor is it tlie least cause of our own rejoicing, that he has for ever escaped the petty malice of a clique at Merthyr, who, insensible to his claims upon public respect both as a magistrate and a gentleman, omitted no opportunity of insufting him, and of making a salary which they did not pay, but which he hardly earned, a subject of the most unmanly and paltry annoyauce to oue of his high and generous spirit,

Suttoij more titan eitoulclrli to secure the return of the former had signed the requisition to him, and it yet remains to be developed by what government interference these persons were aposta- tized. His Worship, the Mayor, and Mr Spring Rice were not inactive, and Messrs. illaberly and Earnshaw, two highly respected Members of the University, (one a Senior Wrangler) were sent to the-Station Houte by the Mayor, for which no other reason can be divined than that one of them inveighed against the cruelty of the new Poor Laws, especially on the separation of man and wife in the workhouse; and the other indig- nantly remonstrated at the oppressive detention of his friend!

TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE AND GUARDIAN. Sin,—I attended before the Revising Barrister, on his last circuit, for the purpose of registering my vote for the Merthyr Borough. It was too clear to be disputed—it was fully admitted by the person officially appointed to register it. An Election: comes, my vote is tendered; hut it is not on the Registry. Wliat is my remedy ?

"1' TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE & GUARDIAN. Sllt,-Allow me through the medium of your valuable paper, to put out a few hints which I hope will be taken into serious consideration by the Magistrates and Clergy- men of the neighbourhood of Newbridge. Having resided for the past live years in the above neighbourhood, I have npticed with pleasure the rapid increase of the population alld commerce of the place, but with regret, the still greattr increase of immorality, which is allowed to reign, in almost every form,unchecked, especially Sabbath breaking and drunkenness, On Sun- days, the public houses are kept open every hour of the day, not excepting church hours, and at all times of tlie night. Only a few Sundays ago, by going from New- bridge to Treforest to a place of worship, I found the edge on both side3 of the tram road lined with drunken men some of them, from the quantity of intoxicating liquor they had taken, were unable to move; others were fighting and making use of language, not to be re- peated, to those who were passing to their places of worship. The whole scene was a disgrace to a civilized neighbourhood, and called loudly for the interference of the cjvil authority. To such ar. extent does drunkenness prevail, that a female dares not return from a place of worship on a Sunday evening unprotected. I do t mean to insinuate, by the above, that the clergymen of the neighbourhood neglect their duty, far from it: no persons could render themselves more useful in their sacred office, or display more zeal to suppress viet and promote piety and virtue, or set a brighter example of morality t. the world than they do; but, from their living at a considerable distance from Newbridge, and being fully engaged in their official duties on Sunday, they may not be aware that diunkenness ,'nd Sabbath breaking prevail to such an extent. After they are aware of it, I have, no doubt they will use every means in their power to stop the progress of drunkenness, by compelling the landlords of the beer shops ta close their houses during church hours, and not to draw beer at such uns-eiwonable hpurs as twelve and one o'clock at night. I remain, Sir, Yours respectfully, W. JONES. Treforest, August 3rd, 1° •

SONNET TO THE QUEEN, When some fair bark first glides, into the set, Glad shouts of thousand, echo to the sky, And as she leaves the land, fond hearts beat high With hope and fear; and prayers are heard that He Who stirs and calms the deep, her guide may be; That over sunny seas her path may lie And that she still may find, when storms are high, Safe anchor underneath some sheltering lee. Even so thy subjects' hopes and prayers, fair Queen Go with thee c ouds above thy bark may brood, And rocks and shoals beset thine unknown way But thou in virtue bold may'st steer serene Through tempests Englands glory and her good The load-star of thy course, and Heaven thy stay.

BRECON, Saturday, August 5, 1837. Tlie proceedings at the Town Hall, at Brecon, are briefly reported in our Paper. The show of hands in favour of Major Holford was obtained by filling the Hall with non-electors. It is much to their credit that they behaved so well, We have now briefly to remind the Conservative Electors that it is at the Poll, and by an early attendance there, they can best serve the cause of Colonel Wood. The game is iu their hands, -they can only lose it by supineness,—their opponents are subtle, they can only be defeated by energy and watchfulness, ft* the Foll then, at the first moment of its opening, suffer not your opponents to take the lead for an instant there ;— it is in your power that the success of Colonel Wood shall never be for a moment doubtful. Let the first hour of Polling be decisive of the battle. The standard by which the Represen- tative of Brecon should be tried, is attachment to the Monarchy, and to the principles of the constitution; reverence for the Laws; lose for Protestailtisni pure and tindefiled, eye, ciple, in short, by which a souridr^fe^ted Englishman \yas formerly known, and by which so many "fine old English (ientlemen i--are proud, even in bad times, to be distitignifjwed. Principles of honour, loyalty, and religion, Auch as grace,in no ordinary degree,your tried friend, Colonel Wood.

BRECONSHIRR ELECTION. NOMIVATFOJF OF CANDIDATES. The nomination of Candidates for this County, took place on Thursday, in Brecon. Early iu the morning, the friends of Colonel Wood, to Jthe number of sixty of the most influential gentlemen of the county, went to the Priory, and escorted that gen- tleman to the Town Hall. The procession vyas as unostentatious as well coqltj be imagined. Hjs sup- porters went on foot headed by a band of music, and were accompanied by banners, which seemed to have seen hard service. These were the whole of the outward 41 braverv" exhibited, but the Colonel's friends were strong in the confidence of their cause, and relied more on the muster at the poll, than ex- ternal show at the day of nomination. Not so Major Gwynne Holford. He was attended by about thirty carriages of all descriptions—open and close, and, as nearly as we could calculate, about one hun- dred and fifty horsemen. His banners were splendid and imposing; not less than twenty of light blue and silver fluttered in the breeze—and verily the breeze was a fresh one. The Major himself appeared in an orpen carriage, drawn at b? beautiful horses; these were afterwards exchanged for bipeds of more questionable grace, an *8' and docility, but tbi-v would not be denied, and tljoiMajor was thus drawn to tbe Hall, Here an attempt was made to fill the building with non-elec- tors, ölnd the attempt succeeded. After the reading of the Writ, the Act against bribery ant! other formalities, Mr. CRAWSHAY BAILEY, the respected High Sheriff for the County ex- plained, 111 a few Words too object of the meeting, exhorted the people to be peaceable, and to give both cheering. hea>n&,>nd «a( 'down amidst loud HKN RY A U.ES, of the Lodge, then rose to pro- pose ( o-onel Wood, and spoke io substance »s folios —He naa often addressed the electors on occasions similar to the present, and had always experienced a kind and patient hearing. His growing infirmities now rendered that patience more imperative. Tha electors bnd assembled to discharge a very important trust,- i iuportall t trust, important at all times, but doubly so ,n times like the present. He considered that we had reached an awful crisis in public affairs, and he la- mented that the spirit of innovation which bad its b, 1 counlry had reached this kingdom, He hoped that those whom he now addressed would consider well the important duty before tliem, and discharge it with caution, and be more thn usually scrupulous in fixing on their representative. The gentleman he had to propose had every requisite for public life. He believed sincerely, that without private worth no public character could be respected. Of the Gallant Colonel he was once proud to be the eulogist, but thirty years experience of his worth now rendered all praise 0:1 bis (Mr A's) part superfluous. Calumny indeed will raise its voice against the noblest and the best; it had levelled a shaft against their gallant friend, but it had fallen harmless. But other requisites than private worth went to the making up of a representative for the county—wisdom, habits of business, courage, industry; and tbe gentle- man whom he had the honour to propose possessed tbem all. And yet this man is to be opposed, and by whom ? The champion of Reforiii I (ironically.) By a man who was to deliver them from the thraldom of the Tories. (Loud laughter and cheers.) He asked what was the evidence and where were the badges of this slavery to be found,-were they in the Army, the Navy, the Chureh, the Protestant Church, (cheers,) in the attachment to our youthful and promising Queen? or was it in their opposition to a Roman Catholic Priesthood, who were endeavouring to destroy our Protestant Lstablishment ? If bis (Mr. A.'s) opinion of the merits of the gallant Colonel, was insufficient to convince them, let them look to higher autboritv.- Our late gracious, good, and patriotic King, what thought he of him? He manifested his regard for Colonel Wood, by appointing him to a situation than which none could be more delicate and honorable,- the Executor to his will. Sure we ought to be proud of our late Representative. Mr. Allen then proposed Colonel Wood, and concluded a speech listened to throughout with great attention, by saying, that he begged gentlemen, when he again attempted to speak, to remember the adage, Nee meulI andpt Rem tentare pudorquain vires ferrerecuscut. JOSEPH BAILEY, ESQ., M.P., for Worcester, rose to second the nomination, and commenced by eulo- gising tlie conduct of the Gallant Colonel, during the 30 years he bad represented that county. He had studied their private as well as their public interests. The electors of Brecon were well calculated, from general intelligence, to form an opinion of his merits. He was a Conservative, (and Conservatives were not confined to what were vulgarly called Tories), some 01 me most strenuous supporters of the Re- form Bill were Conseivatives. Look at Earl Grey. Was be a supporter of the present administration ? Was Earl Spencer ? Lord Brougham ? Stanley ? the great patriot, Sir Francis Burdett ? Had the Reform Bill effected the ends for which it was intended Look at Stroud; or you may find pocket boroughs nearer home. Is it not in the power of Mr Guest, or Mr Crawshay to "pop in" whoever they think proper for the Borough of Merthyr Tydvil? Why Gatton, with its proprietor and two menial servants for Electors, was not worse than Mertbyr now is. After some forcible remarks on the avowed principles of Major Gwynne Hplford, as contained in his public address, the Hon. Member concluded by seconding the nomination of Col. Wood J. PARRY WILKINS, Esq., then rose and said, that it was with great pain he opposed a gentleman of whom, in the year 181S, he had been so strenuous a supporter. He could not, bow- ever, give his support to the gallant Col. without being a traitor to the opinions which he at that time entertained. He bad then exerted himself with other Reformers to shake off the yoke of the houses of Bad- minton and Tredegar. The Col. then came forward to rescue the independence of the county but he bad now turned Tory." He admitted that the private character of Col. Wood was irreproachable, but the claims of the gentleman whom he was about to pro- pose to the notice of the Electors of Brecon were greater, in his opinion, than those of the gallant Colonel. He was a Welshman; spent his fortune among them. He was allied to one of the most ancient families in the Principality. He comes for- ward" continued the speaker, in defence of a lady, the first lady of the realm, and the independence of the County of Brecon. The gallant Major has fought and bled for his country.—(Cries of where?)-—He is a friend of the Queen's Administra- tion." The speaker then Jaunched into the praises of the Whig Radical Administration—and uttered a fierce tirade against the Tories; indulged in many gross perionalities against Col. Wood and others, and concluded by proposiog Major Gwynne Holford as a proper person to represent the County of Brecon in Parliament. MIDDLETON POWKLL, Esq. in a short speech second- ed the nomination. No other Candidate appearing, COLONEL WOOD arose, amidst general and tremendous cheering. He commenced a speech, (to which we regret that oat time and limits will not allow us>to do- justice,) lay saying, that however some of bis tie«u°e?$might differ L in opinion on the 1^, bppp'i both sides would be did not wish, like the prwortsr of t'rt? gallant Major, to descend to personalties, but tuHrusted. that in ■ justice to himself, he would be allowed to reply to the charges so unfairly brought against bin. There was one subject, however, to which lie would first advert. He had been honoured with the friendship of William the Fourth, our late revered and patriotic Sovereign, but though be had enjoyed the confidence of his King, and had been offered honours and emoluments, be had refused them, and had never forgotten that be was tbe Representative of the independent county of Brecon. I have been told (said the gallant Colonel) by the proposer of my opponent, that the County was hand- ed over to me by the, House of Tredegar in 1806, whilst it is well lIWU that I was then opposed by Mr. Horn fray, a candidate nominated by that House. And did I, unsolicited, come forward on that ocenioll'! (A boy in the crowd—-Yes.*) A lad says yes, why, he was not in existence at tbe time. (Laughter.) A requisition Was sent to me numerously signed,—I obeyed the call, and this is termed ,ILindilig over" the County to me. (Cheers.) Colonel Wood entered seriatim on all the charges brought against him by M. Wilkins, and refuted "them all. amidst tbe cheers of his friends and to the satisfaction of the meeting. It was the free good will said the Colonel, of the County of Brecon, that elected me in every contest, and I feel assured will do so again." After inflicting some well merited chastisement on the Member for Radnorshire, the Colonel continued, when I have forfeited the confidence and good will of the electors of Brecon, I will that instant retire into private life, with a grateful recollection of past confidence never to be forgotten, and with a determination never to enter the service of any other master." He (Colonel Wood) had been taunted with a breach of promise. on the subject of not voting for the Repeal of the Malt Tax. He denied that any such promise had been given by him- (A Voice-Ii You promised to vote for the repeal of half). Col. Wood denied that such proposition bad been ever made. lie would neither vote for the repeal of ilair nor the whole, unless a substitute could be found. He had never been a popularity-hunter, nor did he think his constituents expected to find him oue. Unfortunatelyt there were too many members returned tQ Parliament, pledged to measures wWch they knew would never be carried, and which many of the pledged would be sorry to see carried. Col. Wood applied himself to the address of Major Gwynne Holford, and exposed the fallacy of his calling himself a supporter of the present Administration, the Major having pledged himself to questions which no Ministry would sanction. He concluded by thanking tho Electors (or the patient hearing they bad given him, wd resumed his seat amidst geiieral applauiie. Major HOLFORD WlUf enthusiastically cheered on his risill hy bis ucyi-electing friends who oooupied the Hall. He addressed them in a few words, the mere echo of his electioneering addresses. His voice was drowned in the applause of his friends. Mr LLOY D, the defeated candidate for Brecon Town, addressed the Meeting, in a long speech, which we hear was but the repetition of that delivered a few days previously. The Hqo, Speaker was congratu- lated by a gentleman present, oil the souiyhtess, and accuracy qf bis memory. Several other gentlemen attempted to address the Meeting, but they were prevented by the Radicals, amongst whom the Major was most active. The SHERIFF then called for a show of bRndS, which, on the first occasion, appeared so equal that he requested the experiment to be repeated, and decided >n favour of Major Gwynuo Hojfo.rd, a'n announce- ment received hv the non-electors with tremendous appl. A Poll was demanded on behalf of Col. Wood. After a vote of thanks to the Sheriff, the Meeting broke up. The friends of Colonel Wood accompanied him to the Priory, where he addressed them in a brief, but efleretic speech, requesting their early attendance at the Poll, on Monday.

¡; Walter Wilkins, Esq. was re-elected Member of Parliament for the County of Radnor, on Monday last, without opposition.

Several persons were on the spot soon after the accident occurred, but too late to save the life of the unfortunate vouth. Verdict found accordingly.

THE CROWNED HEAD. — Her Majesty the Queen is the twenty-seventh in regular descent from the Conqueror, and at the same time thirty- sixth sovereign in succession from the conquest. This ffives nearly twenty-nine years to a generation and twenty-two years to a reign, in I-espect of the seven hundred and seventy-one years which have elapsed siuce that period. The commonly received average is thirty years to a generation and twenty years to a reign according to which it appears that the cares or luxuries, or both, of a crown** oCQUion8 sacrifice to the wearer of it of one year (i life, as compared with ordinary mortals.
