Cambrian lias given a statement of the 1:RflS issued to the South Wales papers from the <\l1\p Office, from the 1st of January, to the 30th "tie inclusive. It dates the number of Stamps JssIJed to the Cambrian, 46,00; to the Welshman, ^276; and to the Merthyr Guardian, 30,275; s/amy less thsti our Radical Contemporary ^arinartlien, in which superiority he rejoices eXCjng-ly. Now, we have not the slightest ^J^cthiM to the publication of this statement, ^°r w< are quilt satisfied with our position { but we it Ito' t!tiier protest against the inference which Cambrian draws from this issue of stamps^ dutiv the trutli of the evidence founded on Alit: ,d isttii(,tive d Ie." its & of the circulation 01 "ewspapers. It would lwve lJeell lIIore to purpose, had the Cambrian Uoi^estly and ^^t.c,|v scaled what its real circulatioo was. •v a little management as to time, in ordering II r ^'amp^ wt-i could have increased <;iir uppili'tul in six months. Now, with \'erY.pf)s,b\e IlIdu,t.'IW:'lIt to doso, we hd\ 1\ 'vt.r Q'lt>ted ofour circulation. We have no hesitation now tliat it is upwards of One Thou- *(lrici tine Hundred and Fifty weekly, and, so far We are concerned, the Sta<.up Office return is lIiarly right. Now we ask the Cambrian to out;—Is ii« circulation upwards of 1/00 xv as indicated by the same return? We Wa't ca;](Iid answer. After all, we maintain I'V "'e respectability of the parties aniongss r ''ch the Paper circulates—a respectability as property and intelligence, is of more j P°rtai)ce to Advertisers than mere numbers. j* *is respect we fear no comparison with any in the principality.

Great credit is due to the several butchers, for the ex- cellent supply of meat for the occasion. Severat of the olde st inhabitants of the place never recollected such a display ot meat. We could not help observing the beautiful lamb of Messrs. Jenkins and Thomas, which we hear was fed by H. J. Grant, Esq. of the Gnoll and the finest mutton we ever saw, belonging to Messrs. Brown and Bassett. We have only to ex- press a wish that now, as the butchers have an oppor- tunity of exhibiting their meat to the best advantage, no exertion will be wanting on their part to sup- ply the inhabitants with the very best.

WiLlies.; I U)AVID'I'IIOAIA-I, "Sept., 4th 1837." WILLIAM THOMAS." 1"1'##1' MERTHYR, It will be seen by an advertisement in this dav's GUAHDIAN, that the Committee for superintending the building of the Church at Xewbridge, have been compelled by circumstances, which have lIL-en honestly stated, to make a further appeal to Curistian hene. volence, iu behalf of their undertaking. To the lover of the picturesque, the Church of Glyn Taff is a most beautiful addition to the scenery of a most beautiful valley; but to the eye of the Christian it presents the noblest ol all attractions, as he antici- pates the change, the great moral change, which a faithful ministration within its walls may produce on ^uch a population as that of Newbridge. We will venture to say, that the whole principality does not exhibit a place more disgraced by Sabbath desecra- tion, or by tue vices to which Sabbath desecration of necessity leads. We cannot close this subject with. i out the expression of regret that Mr Crawshay, who has drawn a large and ignorant population to New- bridge, for his pecuniary benefit, should be so indif- ferent to their spiritual welfare, so regardless of the moral atmosphere around hlln, as to permit this Cnurch to have proceeded almost to its completion without contributing a shilling to the work. It woufd liave been the pride of many we could name, woo have amassed enormous fortunes as manufacturers, to hive built such a Chcrclj at their proper cost We beg to suggest that the sum required for the completion of this building, could be easily raised by a few persons of influence, who, in their several dis- tricts and neighbourhood, might set on foot small subscriptions, varying from asuiliing to a pound. We arc acquainted wiLh a Christian lady WHO has com- menced such a subscription, and we are happy to add, that it isadvancing prosperously.— We think the Christrian inhabitants of Newbridge and its neighbour- hood must feel very deep obligations to the subscri- bers who cpuiinenced this good work, and to the Committee who have sq ably and successfully per- formed the duties entrusted to thetli, .#' POLICE. [Before W. THOMAS, Esq. and C. MAYBERY, Clerk.] SEPT. ll.-Tllomas Lewis, of Cyfarthfa, collier, was fined 5s. and costs, for an assault upon David Jones, shoemaker. John Thomas, of this town, was convicted (upoi all information exhibited by order of the Board of Excise) in tlie iijitigated penalty of £ 0 for that he being a licensed postmaster to let horses for hire, did neglect to insert in the "Excise OlIioe weekly account, the particulars required by law to be ill- serted therein, upon the letting of his horse to go from Merthyr to Cowbridge, 011 the 10th of Apiil last.

SIR, I understand from your last Paper that Mr Crawshay has given up the Guardian and it is the talk of the place that he has done so because yoti exposed his tyranny in discharging David Derbyshire, Beer-house keeper, ot .Worthy r and Richard Morgan, Beer-house keeper, of Row am, because they preferred Mr Bruce to Mr Guest. If he would be considered the friend to the liberty* of the people that lie pretends to be, let him disprove this. With respect to Levi Thomas, the Aberdare publican, said to have been brought to the poll at the risk of his life," it should be generally known that a Surgeon of acknowledged humanity and skill was consulted as to his being capable of being safely conveyed in a Gentleman's carriage to Merthyr. The answer was, that so far from injuring, it would be of service to him. Mr Bruce, how- "e". objected to his going ■ and it was after this that the poil was taken at Aberdare, within a few yards of his own door. Far ditTerent was the case of old William Robert, residing nearly opposi te the Caitle Inn, Merthyr, who was taken by Mr Guest's party out of his Led, from which he should never have been disturbed, to vote against the oldest friend of himself and family,a cry of Shame, shame resounding on all sides.

Sept. 6th. —There is still a very great degree of excitement amongst the proprietors of our iron- works, The price of bar iron is now nominally t9 per ton; I say nominally, because I do not hear that such a price has been actually realised to any extent. Large orders came suddenly upon the trade when it was in a very depressed state, and each was readily snatched at as a sort of God-send, until it was unex- pectedly found at most of the works that no more could lor sometime be executed and then the ques- tion was, whether the sellers had not been too hastv. Of course, all would gladly avail themselves of the present prices; but it will probably be some months before many of them will be in a condition to do so, without.breaking through existing agreements. The Messrs. Harfords were, I believe, the first to declare that their hatches were down;" and this, I think, gave the decided impulse which has produced such rapid and extraordinary results. As far as I can learn, the present orders are confined, in a great degree, to home consumption. Most of the large English railway companies, whose works are in progress, have entered into contracts with our manu- facturers for the necessary supplies of iron; and these contracts operating upon the diminished supply occa- sioned by th" stoppage of several furnaces, led to that general demand which always ensues when men fear they may he in want of an article, or may have to pay for it a higher price at a future time. I am not parti- cularly well informed in iron statistics, but what I fear in this trade is, the power which the Welsh iron district affords of making to almost atiy extent. I believe there are now in blast, or ready to be put in blast, within fifty miles of Newport, from ninety to one hundred furnaces? whose average power of make cannot be calculated at less than sixty tons eaph per week, or say about 300,000 tons per ainimu. I have no doubt that the American merchants, distrusted as they now are, will soon again find money or credit to purchase largely our iro-i-so necessary for the main- tenance and improvement of their internal communi- cations. I read, too, that in various parts of Europe, particularly in France, Belgium, and Germany, rail- roads are in course of execution, which will take from IjenCC, as the cheapest market, considerable quantities of the same needful material. It is the inclination of my opinion, that from these various soiwces an excess of- demand over supply may ensue to maintain tile price of iron for the next twelve months; but taking into consideration the eagerness of the iron masters already displayed to increase largely their make, and recollecting tlie sudden retrograde movement of the last prosperous year, during which similar arguments might have been urged, I do not feel over sanguine on the subject. Recent experience, indeed, seems to warrant a belief which I entertain in common with many others, that the whole trade of the country is more or less at the mercy of the Bank of England. Through her means, and to suit her own private and selfish objects, money is again made so plentiful that speculation must necessarily be revived in all its wild luxuriance. As a natural consequence the exchanges will soon turn against us, and then adieu once more to every dream of commercial prosperity. Mr Horsley Palmer, when examined before the Bank Charter Com- mittee of the House of Commons, in 1832, said, Bullion is always purchased by the Governor, who considers that he has no power to refuse the issue of notes fur gold tendered to him at the Bank-thesupply of a paper currency founded upon gold being a main object of the institution." This is a precise representation of the present state of things at the Bank of England. Its coffers are being filled with gold, and the public is deluged with notes, which the currency of the country does not at present require, l'he Bank of England has always adopted the policy of arrogating to itself the character of a national institution established for national pur- poses. This, however, is a false pretenco," with which the nation will be no longer deluded. If the Bank had really at heart the good of the country, it would not now be buying gold with its own pernicious paper, but with Exchequer Bills, and suell other of its securities as would tend to diminish rather than increase the circulation at a time when it was far too abundant. The truth really is, the BaliK of England, like other similar establishments, wants to realise a certain dividend. The proprietors require it 011 the principle II faut vivre;" the public, f think, are all ready to exclaim with me, "Je 110 vois pas la uecessi te."—The Economist.

Prime extra heavy and Bark-tanned Light Butts have mostly found buyers; whilst those of inferior quality, and middle weights, have proved a heavy sale.

BRECON, Saturday, Sept. 16, 1837. Who, we ask, arc the libellers of the Dis- senter ? Are we, who give him a "zeal of God," even if that zeal be not according to know. I ledge;" who respect lis rights o! conscience even if that conscience differ from all authority » W»U believe that with his fathers he shrinks from the polluted altar, and believe he would rather perish at the stake than live in the base bondage of Antichrist or those who are indif- ferent to the heresy it they can combine with the faction, al,.1 take the profanations of popc- dom to their arms if that licentious e.ediock can but have a hope of offspring; in tlie shape of rebellion; ready to march in the procession of popery with the image of the Virgin at its head and join hand with the Infidel in tbe destruction of the Jliurch and the Constitution? We have never charged the religious Dissenter as capable of such atrocities; the real libeller of the Dis- senter is he who assuming the pretext of reli- gions liberty for the defiance of all its princi- ples, and not we who endeavour to distinguish between sincerity and claniotir, rights and robbing; between the pure in spirit following, in whatever variety of garb, the majesty of Truth. Yes—we repeat, the real libellers of the Dissenters are the insolent Pharisees and Sadducees of our times, priding themselves 0:1 their power to insult the Trtitli,-tlieir perse- verance to hunt it down, and their resolve to crucify it. These are the traducers of Bissenf. It is gratifying to find that all the more intel- ligent classes of Dissenters are taking a correct view of the emergency and determining to clear themselves of the stain of political-abomination. No later than the last day of August the Pres- byterian Synod of Ulster, the chief Dissenting Body of Ireland, joined with the Clergy of the Establishment in Belfast in forming an Associa- tion 011 the largest scale. The assemblage was held in the IVIee ing House of Dr. Cook, the chief head of Presbyterian Ministers. The chair was taken by the Vicar of Belfast, and the resolution was moved by Mr. M'Xeile of the Established Church, and seconded by Dr. Cook. This resolution was as follows That it appears to this meeting that all true Protestants are called on to unite to maintain the blessings of civil and religious liberty against the artful policy and reviving powers 11 of the Church of Rome and whilst they loudly protest against the principles of that Church, to return good for evil to all who "profess them. And that all, and especially tile Ministers of the Gospel, are bound to use every faithful and Christian exertion to en- lighten their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects." Dr. Cook, in seconding the motion, observed, That he would merely glance at the circum- stances which brought him, a Presbyterian, on the same platform with Ministers of the Esta- blished Church. I\FIDFLITI--[]Efil.-ISY and LA- TIDUDINAK1AMSM HAD UNITED, and why should not all Christian Churches quite. He allowed no superiority to the Church of England but as a Christian Minister he gave his heart and support in the day of trial, because it was a Christian Church. There was ?zo?v a great union on opposite priiiciples going on in the world. Su- perstition had taken a deep root in the land, and were they still to allow it to gather weight and overhang Protestantism. Popery had ever been hostile to liberty." Now in the conduct of this fjble and manly divine is a model which the Dissenters should be proud to iinitate-itplioldincr his own concep- tions of Church discipline, yet not abandoning the spirit of that illustrious Church from which his fathers separated, forgetting the minor for- malities in the essential principles, disdaining to join the image worshippers for its overthrow, and abjuring the Jufidel .ylio. NyQuid crush the Establishment that he might crush all religion. We say to the honest Dissenter, contrast this example with the sanguinary rage of the Popish harangues at the hustings—with the foatnings of their priests at the altar-ivitti their open general Of the most abhorred perjury. Every popish Member of Parliament has sworn to these words in the IJoly Evangelists. "I do swear that I will defend to the utmost of my power the settlement of property within this kingdom as established by the laws and I do hereby disclaim, disavow and solemnly abjure that I never will exercise any privilege to which I arn or may be entitled, to disturb or weaken the Protestant Religion or Protestant Government in the United Kingdom." This oath is the oath prepared by popery itself for the express pur- J pose of binding every Papist before God and man, and yet we hear the popisji Priest urging the peasantry to extinguish the property of the Church the popish Representative demanding its extinction with furious menaces in Parlia- ment; and, most monstrous of all, men in Eng- land calling themselves Christians applauding this horrid compound of rebellion, perjury and blasphemy.

The venerable Marquis Camden, accompanied by his daughter Lady Georgiana Pratt, arrived on Tues- day evening at the Priorv, Brecon, 011 a visit to Col. Wood. {From our Correspondnt,) -It gives us much plea- sure to state that the inhabitants of the Town and Borough of Brecon, who entertain Conservative prin- ciples, have entered into a very handsome subscrip- tion, tor the purpose of purchasing for Philip Vaughan, Lsq., a piece of plate, in order to testify their hi,{h opinion of the uniform zeal and ability displayed by him ill suppurting the Conservative interests in that borough, and particularly for his exertions in securing the return of Charles Morgan, Esq., at the late elec- tion. We shall short.y be enabled to give further particulars. WE ha ve received a long letter from a Commercial Traveller, complaining of what appears to be a most vexatious proceeding oil the part of a collector at a toll gate in the town of Brecon. It appears that the practice is, to claim the toll of a shilling from HAWK- ERS, and our correspondent's gig, owing to the nature ai-ti(-.Ie,, being somewhat argcr than usual, he was treated as a hawker, and all attmrt made to enforce the toll, which he properly refused to pay. But he has been compelled, in addition to his loss of time, to employ a solicitor to put in an appearance, all adding to the vexatious annoyance. VVhat renders the matter worse, is, that he formerly resisted the same at- tempt at exaction withsuccess, though at the expence of twenty shillings. — [Our correspondent requires our opinion of his case. So far as his own cx parte state- Ulentg-oes, it is a simple one. The toll applies only to hawkers. He is not a hawker, and therefore, lie is not liable to the toll. We hope the authorities have the power to saddle the toll keeper with all the costs and to recompense t4e aggrieved party for his loss of tunu.J ANECDOTE OF BISHOP BURGEss, The good Bi- shop of ST.

The following is a passage from a speech delivered by Mr Mostyn Pryce, of Gunley, at a dinner given to Mr Panton Corbett, the Conservative candidate for the Montgomeryshire boroughs, on the occasion of pro- posing the health of the Duke of Wellington. It has all the vigour of Burke. and the brilliancy of Canning. "I have this moment been called upon to propose the health of one whose name, unaided by words of mine, must command tlie most enthusiastic reception —the Duke of WELLINGTON. Yes, gentlemen, we have within us that spirit which leads us to gaze with ad- miration on the glory of iiisictioiis, and the splendour of bis achievements 5 nor, iu spite of all that party rancour and MALIGNANT jealousy may have asserted, can any of us be led to believe, that, struggling as lie did, throughout glorious ;i c/irepr, with such iu- trepid courage, in defence of his King and his country, he cou:d ever, for one single moment, have scorned the one or been an enemv to the other. And we believe that the same devotion to his country ill- terests and love of Ins country's honour, which led him on to victorv iii the field, have been the guides of his public conduct since the clarion of war has ceased to sound.

emigration. .
emigration. LETTER U, TO THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE & GUARDIAN "it respect to my second proposition-" In- ferior food, or that which is inadequate to keep up a population." We have only to advert to our sister kingdom (Ireland) where two cases have occurred within ten years, marking in powerful manner, an excess of its population, caused by inferior food, which forms their chief support, I mean the potato, that ex- cellent and useful vegetable, as an auxiliary, but as a staple in the way of food for the human race, totally inadequate. An acre of land will yield 400 to 500 bushels of potatoes the number of families which this quantity will sustain, is four to one more than the same quantity of land laid down in wheat; the country be- comes a mass of population, and in a fatal year (such an one as we witnessed some years siiice) and also in the year 1830, a failure occurs, no resources are at hand, and the population is prostrate. These awful facts are fresh in our minds, and Ireland bears sad monuments of the consequences. There are few wheat lands in cultivation the whole country teems with potatoes, no other food is thought of for our Irish bretheren, and when the crop fails, the population fails too. A wheat district boasts a strong and robust peasantry if a scarcity occur the remedy is at hand, and a substitute, for a time, resorted to in an inferior food but the tesource from a generally inferior food, in case of failure, to a superior food, is not obtainable. Had it not been for alms giving and charities, which were extended with unsparing hand on the two last-mentioned occasions, certain districts in Ireland would then have become one great charnel house for her noble people. To whatever causes we can attribute these changes, whether from severe seasons, want of new seed, or in- judicious husbandry, &c., it is not necessary to discuss; we have the facts before us, and our duty is to frame some plan of relief. We have again a further proof of a fluctuating population, and in a country rearing chieflv potatoes for her home consumption, as in Ireland, where the demand for labour is on a limited sealer redundancy of population must be the consequence j what relief more salutary than emigration to distant lands, keeping up still constant communication with the parent soil, and thus becoming mutually beneficial. We may lay down as a maxim, that if a people depend on the lowest species of agriculture, and where a minimum of labour is required (as in potato crops) that people are ia. a most dependant state on the contrary, eU'. they feed OIl produce of a higher species o. ^gweuhure, demand- ing a maximum of labour, as in WHeat, the population is always better oil, having resources at hand as substi- tutes, which are required for a people fewer in number than those feeding on inferior food, and which, spile of the virtues I would ascribe to the potato., uo,t adapted for the support of a robust and behy people. I will, moreover, challenge enquiry, that during the worst pri- vations of our English peasantry, in certain districts during 40 years past,they ever encountered, collectively ope tithe of the miseries of our Irish bretheren- and this disparity will always appear, the one being fed on wheat, where the population is compact, and the other on potatoes, where the population is dense and crowded. In both countries, however, emigration would do gooo. 1 do not mean an indiscriminate choice of foxetgn lauds t some of which term with the luxuries of ii,, the foot of man has never penetrated As to a sudden check to employment in and manufactures," it must be evident, in efher case, that a population which before was only an a wholesome state as to numbers, necessarily becomes redundant in these circumstances. Previous to a check to employ- ment, everyone filled his proper niche in socieiv, he had his local occupation, and biie return of his labour and skill was met by a corresponding boon from his fel- low man like the action and re-action in mechanics nothing seemed out of place, but all harmonizing to some great end, labour, produce and consumption. One spring, however, impaired order and beauty are suc- ceeded by confusion, and our mechanism is disturbed and overthrown so man, by a check to his labour, cast., aside his energies, and where he once filled a noble des- tiny, is now paralized and useless. In our own great country we have witnessed these vicissitudes we have seen districts, once teeming with industry and pouring out their treasures to other am distant lands, suddenly thrown back, and the spade the loom both by necessity cast aside; we have wi:- nessed painful revulsions in our commercial labour*, and the very spots formerly gladdened by prosperiu and the full measure -of our care and watchfulness, sad- dened by gloom and despondency. am, Sir, G.

Liege Lady! all the nation's in high dud- geon that Lord Melbourne's brain should be so muddv, As to advise you sell your roval stud, Which to preserve should be your roval snidu. II. Poor nags you should not in your stables tind Like cavalry of Evans called De Lacv No I do rather hope your royal mind Is naturally fond of something racy. III. Pray, what has Hampton done, thatvou should trounce ill- naturedly its prancers and its sport ? You have a breed of asset in the council, Do keep a breed of horses in the court! IV. His truth, who says that you should sell ihem, fails Believe, lady liege, he tells a crammer You'll set your people biting all their naiL6. If you put up your horses to the hammer. V I like these money-turning Whigs, indeed Who into coin change every thine they're able You're just installed, and they would 'sell the steed- It does nt make me think they're very stable. VI. I dare say they believe they're very knowing, I think they're close to their official shelves And when they set the horses going, going," It's nearly time they should be gone themselves. VII. The nation quite ill Hampton-court rejoices. What sell its stud of steeds beyond all praise ? Aoy, shout the people with indignant voices, And the stud echoes with a hundred neighs VIII.

ACCCIDENT ON THE MANCllHSTFJi.…
ACCCIDENT ON THE MANCllHSTFJi. AND LIVERPOOL RAILWAY. We regret to state that a disastrous accident occurred on the line of the Manchester and Liver pool Railway on Saturday se'nnight, by which nearly all the passengers sustained severe injuries, and one or more have lost their lives. It that the Manchester and Liverpool second class train left the former place at six o'clock for Liver- pool, and from some circumstance at present unexplained, was detained near Bolton (a distance of about nine miles from Manctiester) mnii after seven, when it was overtaken by the Manchester and Birmingham first class train, which started from the same town at half past six. The latter was proceeding at a rapid rate, and came into violent contact with the Manchester and Liverpool train before it could move forward, or the Birmingham train was enabled to slacken its pace. The concus- sion is described as most territic. the engine of tne Manchester and Birmingham train literaliy smash- ing the last carriage of the Manchester aud Livei- pool train, and tearing off the roof of the vehicle, which it threw with great force upon the Dl'H carriage. Various rumours are afloat as to the injuries sustained by the passengers. It was sdii by one of the principal managers of the tirst train, which arrived here this morning, that three lives* were lost, and that all the passengers were more or less injured, some of them dangerously. H'e have made inquiry of the best authority at the station r °f Which is' thal UP 10 the arrival of the informa(J^>Ur|O C'OCl<'>eSterdaJ af!e™OOn, the latest °f>iamed was that although m..s! of tne "nlt ..remark, „„ par.rot.wrX'^n, occurrence which can be in,plicitly relied have been received. With regard to the ..rede cause of the accident, that also is at present iu volved in obscurity but blame appears to be attached to the engineer of the Birmingham train for not slackening his pace and stopping the ve- hicles under his charge.—Birminghuut Guzettc. THE LATE FATAL COLLISION OF THE RALWAYI CAREtIAGEs.-Tiie carriages belougiirsj to the Buhoii train which had been crushed by tile Birmingham engine formed also a subject for animadversion tin y were literally smashed, particularly the one iu whicu the poor creature was sitting, who has thus met a frightful aud untimely end. There were also a soldier's wife and ciiiid in the same carriage, whose escape was most miraculous, and fears were entertained at one moment that al- though the mother was saved the infant had perished but this arose from the mother's shrieking out, On God, my child is killed:" They are both now, it is believed, dowg well. A lady who resides year Leeds, and was a passenger to Liverpool, now lies, much hurt (though not dangerously, it is hoped, at the Legh Arms at Newton. There are ui;;nv other suf- fncrs in a greater or a less degree, m",iool course, tLóld the inquest been held, we should have learned names of, but as that important part ol the day's work was not entered upon, the public must needs rest content with the knowledge that the cases ;ire numerous. From information which was obtained on the spot where the catastrophe took place, it seems that the Bolton train had, about seven o'clock on Saturday evening, been attached to the train just it-ri ed iron,. Manchester, and which had stopped for that purple when in an instant, before they could start out of us way, (which they could and would have done liiu: r„ minute only been given) down came the Birmingham train upon them at a speed of thirty uules per uour The crash was terrific, and the by-standers siv, that the shrieks of the passeugers in their agony th ■ groaning, crushing, and breaking up of the riolton carriages were most awful and appalling. The engine of the Birmingham train was mum damaged, the chimney being actually l'oreed ouL of its place, rivets and all appendages. It is not known positively whether the engineer of the Birmingham train is much hurt or not, though it was reported here this morning that to his injuries might be ascribed his non-appearance at the inquest-room Tue inquest was to have been held on the woman who was killed, on Monday, but owing to the iUaess of the Coroner, was postponed.
