ST. ALBAN'S, TUESDAY EVENING.—This elec- tion has terminated in the defeat of Mr Cabbell, tlie Conservative candidate, by a majority of forty-seven. The victory achieved by the Ministerial candidate will, however, prove far more faial to her Majesty's Minis'ers than the most ingioiioMS defeat. The corruption and bribery exercised oil his behalf; the lavish sums spent to purchase the privilege of sitting in the House of Commons for a few weeks, until he be expelled bv the inevitable decision of a COIll- mittee of the House of Commons, will do more to disgust all the sincere Reformers than any circumstance which has taken place for a con- siderable period.

MERTHYR TYDVIL, AND BRECON, February 13, 1S41. The triumphs of Walsall and Canterbury have met with fitting re-echoes on the hill sides and in the vales of Iollmolllh, alld the honoured descendant of holt of Wales will shortly greet with the rioht hand of fellowship, in the Com- mons' House of Parliament, the honoured de- scendant also of the Sir PHILIP and ALGERNON SYDNEYS of England, with one of the worthy founders of a new and already one of the tpost distinguished families in modern annals from the sister country of Scotland. It will be a proud sight to see the MORGAN side by side with the SMYTHE and the GLADSTONE, fighting the battles of the Constitution in Parliament, nd advocating rights and interests of the people, independent, unshackled, and nobly ri!Y, a! representing the blood, vigour, integrity, and purity of youn England. The triumph of Mr OCTAVIUS MORGAN was the more grateful too, as it led to 110 electioneering 111r:>;t!ts, as it created 110 political dissensions, as it interrupted not for olle moment the peace of families. nor interfered with the tranquil course of industry or the quiet pleasures of social and domestic life. His claims—the hold of the house of Tredegar— were found to be so deeply rooted, so inefface- were found to be so deeply rooted, so inefface- ablv fixed, in she affections of the men—of the inhabitants at la,-ge-i)f that opposi- tion was felt to be unavailing, and, to render the justice due to an opponent, handsomely ac- knowledged such by Mr TRACY himself, at as early a moment as might reétsonably have bern hoped. Honour, therefore, to the MORGAN of tiiat ilk," justly endeared to all by ihe virtues of private life, which are the best earnest of all of a constant career of public usefulness and patriotic service. Even as we rite East-Surrey is nobly follow- ing in the wake of Monmouth, and ANTROBUS, the young and zealous Conservative, has polled more than double the votes of his Ministerial adversary.

We have been congratulating ourselves on a narrow escape from the perils of one war, the threatened one with France, and with hopes which seemed founded that another with China might be averted; but we are destined only to dis- appointment,and bitterly reminded of the truth of the old saw, not to halloo before we are well out of the wood. riie storni is this time and-agriiii brewing across the Atlantic, from whence more than one hurricane during the last three or four years has interrupted the peace and excited incipient warfare. The sanguinary inroads of American brigands, in league with Canadian rebels, into the lands and against our unoffending fellow subjects of Upper and Lower Canada, are yet fresh in recollection the usurpations of Maine still more recently, and the foravs of Maine marauders into the peaceful territory of New Brunswick, are events but just recorded, when behold a new breach of the peace, more heinous, if possible, than all before, because involving more deeply the national honour, by an outrage more dastardly still upon the per- son, trampling on the liberty and menacing the life of a British subject. If the atrocity be not forthwith atoned for, if the sufferer be not indemnified for the wrong, or if one hair of his head be injured,then welcome war—better war, we say, with all its horrors, than tame and abject submission to insults and outrage, whose continued repetition and accumulation can only be provoked and ensured by the patience and supineness with which, when smitten on the one cheek, we have meekly turned the other to the aggressor. Our readers are well aware of all the facts accompanying and preceding the burning of the American steamer Caroline at tlie close of 1837. The Canadian rebels, with their American free- booting allies, had gained possession of a small island in the midst of the Niagara stream, and not far distant from the celebrated falls. The steamer was regularly engaged in their service, carrying over reinforcements of men from the American side, supplies of provisions, with cannon, arms, and warlike stores. All this was done openly, in the light of day, and with the full knowledge of the Ame- rican authorities on the spot standing hy, and well knowing these acts were contrary to law. The Canadians on the other side the water were eye witnesses also of all, and fully awale of the fact, neither concealed nor denied that all these preparations, and these forces congre- gated at Navy Island, British property by-the- bye, were for the invasion and devastation of Canalla, their own country. Accordingly they were not idle on their side, not only to give the foe a warm reception, but to forestal his designs by accomplishing his destruction before the landing. So one night a party of Canadians silently crossed the water to the American side, surprised and took possession of the steamer, driving the crew on shore, and then setting fire to her and leaving her to drift down the stream, and be dashed to pieces over the falls. Of course a great outcry was raised by the American Government about violation of territory, de- struction of American property, the loss of American life, and all that; although the shed- ding of Canadian blood, and the devastation of Canadian properly had been coolly contem- plated all the while without an effort at preven- tion or repression of the illegal acts of Amer ican citizens. To the remonstrances of the United States, the Canadian authorities, as the Govern- ment of Great Britain, temperately replied by verified statements of the real facts of the case. Conscious of wrong, the complaints were only faintly pressed, to which Lord PALMERSTON, with his cusloinary indolence and supercilious- ness, did not deign reply, when reply might have terminated all pretence of dispute. So stood the case when on the 12th of Decein. ber last, three years after the occurrence, Colonel M'LEOD, of the Canadian Militia, and at the time of the Caroline affair Sheriff of Niagara county, chanced to be at New York on business, when he was suddenly arrested, thrown into prison, and process commenced against him on the charge of murder, for being concerned in the capture of the Caroline, by which, as said, one American on board lost his life. His trial takes place this very month of February, and if found to have been present, a verdict of guilty will be recorded, and, as some say with fero- cious joy all- the members of Congress who spoke On the subject, in that event lie will surely hung. To the remonstrances of Mr Fox, the British minister at Washington, Mr Forsyth, the American secretary, replied only with insolence and contumely. When interrogated on Monday and Tuesday in the Commons, Lord PALMERSTON, as usual, could give no informa- tion, and declined to produce despatches, but enough transpired to fix him with culpable negligence, in not having come to, and forced on, a final understanding on the Caroline busi- ness with the American Executive. Here, then, we are on the eve of another war—and a war more dreadful and to be depre- cated than all wars. As a British official, acting under the orders of his Government, Colonel M'LEOD, even if a party to the attack on the Caroline, was not amenable to American juris- diction. The responsible party is the British Government, and to that only the Americans can have right of recourse for grievance, if such there was, although. iiitionally, all the other way. The result will be waited for with the deepest anxiety.

We have no room for comments on the Par- liasnentarv debates. j

CHUHCII OF ENGLAND ASSUHANCE COMPANY.— We are glad to perceive that this very valuable insti- tution is coming before Parliament for legislative sanction. Mr Greene, the conservative member for Lancaster, it appears, presented a petition for a bill of incorporation on Wednesday week. An insurance office, founded upon sound principles, patronised by the elite of the established church, and providing so iiaiidsoiiiely as it does for the necessitous and hard working clergy, deserves the popularity it so largely possesses.

It was arranged that the court should leave Buckingham Palace yesterday for Windsor. Her Majesty has commanded that the cele- brated tiger's head (taken from Tippo Saib by the Karl Oornwallis), with a solid ingot of gold fur his tongue, and crystal teeth, should be sent from Windsor Castle to Buckingham Palace, to be placed on thesMeboard in thedining room, amongst the other rich and splendid ornaments with which the room is to be decorated. ACCIDENT TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PIIINCB ALBRRT- Ycsteroav morning, about ten o'clock, as his Royal Highness Pri tco Albert was skating on the spacious water in the grounds of Buckingham Palace, his Royal Highness unfortunately passed over some rotten ice, which immediately broke under him, and he was immersed to the chin in water. The Queen was a spectator of the accident,andwasforatime greatly alarmed. We are happy to add that his Royal Highness is going on well under the care of Sir James Clarke, one of the Royal physicians. MALTA, JAN. 28.-Queen Adelaide's church, for which tier Majesty gives I 10,000., is advancing fast. Her Majesty is going to endow a bishopric here. THE DUKK OF WELLINGTON.—Tlie Duke h is been so seriously ill within these few days as to alarm the country for hioi safety. We are happy to be able to state that he isquite recovered from his attack. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland left Alnwick Castle last week for Northumberland House. The reason of the Nohle dnke and duchess leaving Northumberland so early this season was that her grace w tS desirous of being present at the christening of the Princess Royal. The Duke of Northumberland, it is said, will be installed as Chaucellor of the University of Cambridge at the commencement of July, and that the festivities attendant on that ceremony will be on a scale of unusual splendour. The Right Hun. Sir Robert Peel's birthday was on Friday week, when the I1011. baronet completed his 53d year. CONSERVATIVE LIUEHALITY. — We have great pleasure in drawing attention to the munificent dona- tions from the Beverley Conservative Association to the poorer Conservatives of that borough. The association has distributed in coals and flour no less a sum ihau between X400 and .£50U. This chari- table allowance has been annually distributed since the year 1837, and has cheered the hearts and greatly benefitted the poorer classes whilst struggling against the inclemency of the weather. On inquiry at Trinity Lodge last evening, we were informed that Dr. Wordsworth, the Master of Trinity College, is recovering the effects of his late accident (a fall from his horse), and that his convalescence may shortly be ii.ticil),te(J.-Canibri.,Ige Advertiser. SiR ASTLEY COOPED, BAUT.—The above eminent surgeon is still living, though no hopes of bis eventual recovery are entertained. It is Drs. Chambers and Hright who are in attendance 011 him, and not Dr. Holland,as before erroneously stated.

TO THB EDITOR OF THE STANDARD. Sir.—I be'ieve the following figures will show the present strength of parties in the House of Commons. On the division on Sir J. Buller's motion last year of want of confidence in the ministry, I believe the num- bers, including tellers and pairs were— Ministerialists. Conserv. Ministerialists 339 Conserserv,nives 0 308 Conservatives absent 0 9 Ministerialists absent 4 0 Also absent four members who will not vote with either ptirty, viz., Mr J. Bi nett, Mr H. I). Goring. Sir R. Howard, and Mr S. Jarvis. Vacant, Ludlow. Totlles, and Meath, since filled up l 2 334 319 Ministershave since lot Lewes, Radnorshire, Carlow, Wal- sall, and Canterbury 5 5 329 324 Awl lJave gaillccI Sutberlallclshire I I 330 323 The ministerial majority on a like motion would therefore now be 7, supposing no alteratioll to take place in the representation of Monmouthshire, East Surrey, and St Alban's, now vacant, and members to vote as before. But the majority on the former occa- sion included Mr Tolleinache, Mr Ingram, and Sir G. Heathcote. I'lie f,)i-iii(,r wou'd iio%v,, no doubt, vote the other way, as he has since uniformly voted against ministers; and the two latter would probably absent themselves. Thus the ministerial majority, on a set motion of a want of confidence would he reduced to three on all other questiolls, it is evident, that ministers would be in a minority. 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant. A-z OiisERvtit. [It will he seen elsewhere that the Conservatives "Vel have gained Monmouthshire and lost (for a time) St. Alban's.J

ST ALBAN'S—The reason assigned for the Hon. Mr Grimston's resignation of his seat for St. Alb.in's is, that lie means to exchange the senate for the Church. REPHESINTATION OF THE KIN(i",i COUNTY.-N,lr Armstrong (Liberal), and Lord Oxmantown (Conser- vative), it is said will be the candidates for the repre- sentation of Kiug's county in the room of M) N. Fitzsimoii. It has been rt-solved bv the House of Commons that every member presenting a petition to the house, do affix his name at the beginning thereof. REPORTED DISSOLUTION OP PARLIAMENT.— We should do wrong if we were to oiuit mentioning ft report—which, as they say. is now in everybody's mouth"—that ministers intend an almost immediate dissnluliOIl of parliament- We, of course, know nothing of their intentions, and can only speak to the currency of the rumour. Looking, however, at the present advisers of the Crown as surrounded oil every side, and pressed at home also, with difficulties and dangers, we not wonder if they endeavoured lo relieve themselves, for a while, by tlie bustle and agitation of a general election, though the issue cannot fail of involving them.and perhaps the country too, In greater eOllfusioll.-Times. The good service pension, vacant by the decease of Admiral Sir William Harwood, will be conferred on that truly gallallt and intelligent officer, tlie Karl ol Dundonald, better known as Lord Cochrane. PEIISIA.- At Teheran, the Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs has been convicted of forgery; the Shah wished at first to put him to death, but spared his life, they say, at the intercession of the Russian Ambassador. Although his life has been spared, he has not escaped scot free, for he got well bastinadoed, and is to pay a fine of 30,000 tomauus (, £ T 5,000.) Cape of Good Hope papers of the 29th of November contain the following extract from the Graham's Town Journal of Nov. 19: Some accounts have reached us from Natal, and from the country to the west of the Draakberg, stating that a system of domestic slavery among the emigrants is becoming very general, and it would be absurd to aftect to believe that they are altogether baseless. It is affirmed that a traffic in native children is a unit ter of every day occurrence, and that the authori ties, if they do not openly countenance it, take no measure to suppress it, or to puuish those who are engaged in such nefarious dealings. We are assured that, amongst the emigrants, the sale of native ser- vants takes place under the very eye of the govern ment. It behoves the emigrates to look carefully to themselves in this matter."

The following report of the committee has been lately circulated amongst the subscribers. The annual donations and subscriptions, during the pait year, amount to X134 17s 6d; on the audit of the account there appeared to be a balance of 1:93 9s 5d in favour of the institution. The endeavours of the committee, during the year closing in July last, to carry into effect the objects committed to them, have not been intermitted, although they have not been exercised for the whole period in the direct prosecution of the education of the children of the poor. The committee regret to say that a serious and lengthened interruption of the work of the boys' school took place on the retirement of the late master. A long season of sickness had incapactated Mr \V. Willes for conducting the school to the satisfaction ot the committee,—and he was accordingly induced to resign his office- Upon which the committee proceeded to the appointment of another master in the person of Mr William Davies, a young man recommended to them by the steadiness and piety of his lite, by his knowledge of the system of tuitiun Z, and discipline pursued in your school, in which he had lormerly received the whole of his education, and by his extreme love of teaching, as shewn in his long, gratuitous, and efficient labours as a teacher in your Sunday school. In order to give the best ellect to this is appointment, the new master was sent to the Central School in Westminster for fresh instruction (the children meanwhile being discharged from attendance); and after more than three months' tuition he was sent hack to the committee with very high testimonials of tiualification for the office from the superintendent and secretary of the National School- an,1 certainly (he whole tenour of his course in the school since fully justifies the favourable anticipations entertained of h is fitnes for the duties of a master. The atten- dance of the children is strikingly improved in num- ber and punctuality, and averages weekly higher than it ever did before, being about one hundred and forty per day. Their improvement in reading also is already perceptible; and it is evident that ifsufliciently strong inducements were held out to parents of certain boys to permit their children to remain at school so :ong as to become efficient teachers, the character of the institution would recover its tone, and be again, what it was long acknowledged to be, quite adequate to the spiritual, moral, and elementary instruction of the poor children of the town and neighbourhood. \t present the great want is that of competent teachers and the committee desire the subscribers seriously to consider some mode of supplying this radical defect, and whether an increased ratio of weekly payment and regular clothing may not be .leeined the best. The committee, on the suggestion of the most noble the president of the institution, have recently attempted to make every child pay one penny a week for his instruction, and they are glad to report satis- factorily of the attempt as yet—for although many children are occasionally suspended and deprived of the advantages of the school for non-payment, still it is found that even these return in a few days; and others, the great majority, whose parents judge of tha value of a thing by what they pay for it, make their contributions regularly, and improve in the regularity of their attendance in proportion to the value they seem to give for it. The amount of these contributions, which will appear in the next year's account, will be found to be no inconsiderable item in the means of the society. The committee acknowledge with humble thank- fulness to Almighty God that the public support of the institution is not diminished, nor their confidence withdrawn- Th amount of subscript .ons,collections, and other proceeds, last year was £ T84 8s 10d, and the expenditure, including part of the master's expenses to, in, and from London, E131 14s lid, leaving a balance in favour of the schools of [52 14s 8d, It is with much satisfaction that the committee is able to speak of the condition of the girls' dchool-it is conducted and the objects carried out well under tile superintendence of the mistress who has so long been at the head of this department, and who seems to have derived some valuable hints from the master, which she appears to have improved. The committee rejoice to speak with pleasure of the state of the Sunday schools in connection with this institution. The fruit of the labours of those excellent persons both ladies and gentlemen, who have given themselves to the work with the most laudable perseverance and fidelity, is beginning to appear, and improvement in the personal and moral sense and conduct of the children, especially of the bojs, which was for a long time a point unattainable, is now clearly manifest, and is repaying in some sort the anxiety, efforts, and prayers of their Christian teachers. The committee, however, have to reiterate their coin- plaint of the inadequacy of the annual contributions to the maintenance of these schools. The amount does not much exceed a moiety of the necessary expenses, and the committee express the greatest regret at finding that the treasurer is in advance at the present moment of not less than X31, with an annual income of only about £5; and they trust they may have some powers given them of putting this matter on a better footing, and more meet for the im portance and sacred interest of such a cause. The number of boys now in the day and the Sun- day schools is respectively one hundred and seventy, and fifty and that of girls is respectively one hun- dred and three, and thirty two; making together three hundred and fifty-five, with every prospect of a large increase from the returning confillence of the people in the efficiency of the institution, and the if diminution of that demand for juvenile labour, which for some years served to thin the ranks of such as otherwise would have sought admission to the schools. The committee feel it an incumbent and agreeable duty to acknowledge with great thankfulness the kind and ready senices of the Rev John liarditig, who, in Cardiff Church, pleaded the high claims of '.his illslitutioo most scripturally and eloquently, and aided the collection by a most liberal contribution. They desire to thank him cordially for his successful labours. Other details of the proceedings and interests of this society will be found in the transactions and accounts which are usually given in full in the pub- lished annual report. Having, for five and twenty years, as it is hoped been an instrument in the hand of the Most High God for training the young of this town and neighbourhood in the way they should go — the way to the kingdom of His dear Son-an(i laying open to them, and through them, perhaps, to others, sources of hope, help, and consolation iu the troubles, intricacies, and trials of life, it is not too much to ask from a Christian public a continuance of efficient support. It should be remembered that this is a fresh accruing work—and not to be intermitted while the world remains,—and that it therefore demands con tinued and proportionate zeal and liberality from such as would have the vineyard ol the Lord flourish and abound. Conscious too that without the divine blessing the best concerted plans and amplest means must be laid and be spent in vain, it is hoped that in this great work we shall all proceed in that faith which stands not in the wisdom of man, but in the power of God—with a single eye to the glory of God —Sincere affection for the souls for which Christ died —and with humble thankfulness that we have been thought worthy to become workers together with him :;i ejecting (he great purpose for which he came into tile wodd-the establishment of his uriiversa- kingdom for the present reception and final salvatioi, of sinners."

NEATH BENEVOLENT SOCIETY, FOR VISITING AND RELIEVING THE SICK AND DISTRESSED POOR. This society, which has just made its fifteenth report, has rendered very important service to the distressed and sick poor of Neath. and has distributed since its establishment upwards of X780, the amount of subscriptions from the benevolent inhabitants of the town and vicinity. During the past year it received J--50 3s. 3d., and expended the whole of that sum with the exception of a balance in hand of £2 16s. 8d. As it may be of use to henevolent and influential persons who may be desirous of forming similar institutions in their neighbourhood we subjoin the rules of the Neath society 1. "That this society has ill view to afford imme- diate relief to those in any part of Neath or its precincts, who are under sickness or distress- That this relief be given in such articles of food, clothing, or other necessaries, as the urgency of the case requires and he then only allowed, when its objects have been visited and closely inquired into. 2. "That the business of the society be conducted by a treasurer, two secretaries, and a committee; the committee to consist of contributors for the year of seven shillings and upwards any three of whom, with a secret try, shall be competent to transact business. 3. That the committee meet once a fortnight in winter, and once a month in the summer, to receive the report ot cases recommended and relief afforded and to order relief until the ensuing meeting. Tiiat for this purpose a register be kept in which an exact account of each case shall be entered under the following heads:—No,—by whom recommended,— niiiiie,- resialerice, earnings. other resources,— circumstances of distress, character, &c.-relief or- dered,—visitors for the ensuing week. 4. That visitors be appointed at every meeting of the committee, whose office it shall be-to make the requisite investigation in each case, to convey the relief granted by the society, and send or bring in the tickets issued by them every Tuesday at noon, for payment by the treasurer. 5. -1 That an annual general meeting be held on the first Tuesday in every year, previous to printing the report, on which day subscriptions become due The sum of £ 11 Is. has been forwarded to the treasurer of the National Society for the Education of the Poor, being the collection made after a discourse on occasion of reading the Queen's letter The handsome and very acceptable donation of X5 was enclosed in a letter to the rector of Neath, in aid of the good cause.

CAERPHILLY. We learn with great pleasure that voluntary sub- 1 14 scriptions have been raised in this parish for the purchase of bread, flour, coals, &c., for the relief of the poor who are reduced to great distress by the inclemency of the weather preventing them in many cases from pursuing their usual avocations. .,#

GELLYGAER AND LLANVABON. We are sorry to learn that in consequence of the stoppage of the canal from being frozen over, the various collieries iu these parishes have ceased work- ing, by which numbers of poor people are thrown out of employmwt and involved in the greatest distress .1.1'

MliRTII YR. Last Sunday the Rev. Mr Williams, curate of this parish, read the Queen's Letter 011 National Educa- tioll, ami announced that on the following Lord's Day (to-morrow) two sermons would be preached on that subject, when collections would be made in aid of the national schools. We hope that every person who can will be present on this interesting occasion, and contribute to the utmost of his power towards the support of an object so truly benevolent. It tvill be seen by an advertisement in another part of our paper that a meeting of the ratf payer's has been called by Mr John Hooper Davies, high constable, to take into consideration the proposed bill for the appointment of a stipendiary magistrate and a body of police for Merthyr. The meeting will be held in the Board Room of the Poor Law Union, on Tuesday next, at eleven o'c'ock in the foreuoon. The requisi- tion was numerously and respectably signed. Alderman Thompson, M.P., has made a donation of if 10 to the fund for erecting a hall for the accommo- dation of the Sunderland Mechanics' Institute. Northern Times. RAILVVAYTO BHEcn", FROl MERTHYR.— We under- stand that it is in contemplation to take measures for forming a railway from hence to Brecon. PONTYRHLN BRIDGE.—On Thursday last a special meeting of the Board of Highways was held at the Vestry HonlD to take into consideration certain repairs that are required on Pontyrhun Bridge, when it was resolved that a deputation should wait upon the iron masters to learn their opinion respecting the said repairs. BALL AT THE Busil rNN,-A ball took place at the Bush Inn on Wednesday niht, in celebi-atioll of the christening of the Princess Royal of England. The bail took place under the auspices of the Loyal Cambrian Lodge of Freemasons, and was attended by a very numerous party composed of the most respect- able inhabitants ot Merthyr, Dowlais, and their vicinity. The arrangements were in every respect excellent, and the company entered into the spirit ot the occasion, and kept up the gay dance until supper time, after which they again joiued the festive ring until Solus warned them lrom the scene, by dimming with his rays the brilliancy of the lights with which they were surrounded. All present were loud in their praises ot the polite attentioll of the worshipful brotherhood, who were indefatigable in their exertions to give universal satisfaction, and make the meeting one which will long be remembered with pleasure by the merry convives. THE WEATHER.—.On Friday, Saturday, and Sun- day, the wind blew with great and almost unceasing violence, accompanied by excessive cold. all the hills around being covered with snow Sunday particularly was a colder day than has been known in these parts within the memory of man. On Monday and Tuesday the cold moderated a little, and 011 Wednesday it became decidedly milder, and that night it rained heavily un.il the morning. It has since continued mild, and is now almost as warm as in summer. PHRENOLOGY.—Mr Marriott, of Bristol, delivered lectures on this science at the Glrlhl National School Rootuv on Monday and Tuesday evening, aud which appeared to give general satisfaction.

See Advert. FIRE.—On Saturday morning the inhabitants of Jackson's Bridge were roused from their slumbers by a cry. very unwonted in Merthyr, of a house on fire. It proved to be the beer shop of E. Edmunds, near the shop of Mr Henry Charles. The tire was disco- vered about two o'clock, A.M., and notwithstanding the piercing cold and the violence of the wind the neighbours hastened to render every assistance in their power, owing to which the fire was soon extin- guished, but not before almost every article in the house and brew house behind were completely de- stroyed, and the premises reduced to a shell. The cause of the fire has not been discovered. Mr Edmunds was from home, and his father in law, hear- ing an alarm, came down stairs, but perceiving the house to be on fire, he ran back to save his daughter ("Irs Edmunds) and her children, in doing which be was much burnt. Fortunately they were all saved, although the bed in which one of the children and a servant were asleep was actually burning when they were rescued As there is no fire engine in the town, water was carried in buckets from Mr Todd's and •Mr II. Charles's premises. The poor family have been deprived by the fire of all their little property. Wc think ourselves bound in justice to mention the laudable conduct of a workman, named David Ed- wards, who laboured on the occasion with great zeal and spirit, and who met with a sad accident while doing so. He was standing with one foot on a ladder and the other in a window sill up stairs, pouring bucketslul of water into the house, when some one moved the ladder, and he fell to the ground, by which his ankle was sprained, and he now lies in bed a cripple, with a large young latnily looking to him for bread, which the accident deprives him of the ability to earn for them. We hope his hard case and merits will receive the attention of the generous and humane. Another poor man named John Baylis was very active and uselul, and it is owing to his exertions, perhaps, that tlie w)MLg street was not burned dawn as he, at the risk o™iis life, succeeded in cutting, away the burning timbers that communicated with the uext house, and otherwise rendered valuable aid. MERTHYR POI,ICE -TUESDAY. [Before William Thomas, Esquire] THOMAS OF THE IHOS ARM.—Warrants were ap- plied for by Thomas Lewis. landlord of the Fanners* Arms, Dowlais, against Thomas Thomas, engineer there, for committing an indecent nuisance in his house and for assaulting him.— I'he warrants were granted. The said Thomas Thomas, who appeared to have been dreadfully mauled about the head, then applied for a warrant against the said Thomas Lewis and "l'an Davis, fora violent assault upon him.—Warrant granted. Both these oflences were committed last night. In granting the last warrant the magistrate commented in severe terms on the conduct of Thomas Thomas, whom he described as a man dangerous to be at liberty, and continually involved in trouble of his own causing, saying that he had an iron arm, and it was his custom, it refused beer where he went, or deemed himself affronted, to smash the tables with his iron arm. He was the terror of Dowlais. IN RE G. DONNELLY, BANKRUPT.-Nirs Gay, o the Morlais Castle, complained that a person con'f nected with the bankrupt, obtained a mare from her on Thursday, which he said he wanted to take with him to Neath and back she had heard nothing from r him since. A person, calling himself W. H. Morgan, and living at the shop where the hats, &c., were seized bv Millward, last week, told Mrs Gay not to be alarmeel, as he "ould be reponsible. This did not satisfy her, and she now applied to the magistrate. It appears that a messenger has been sent by the assignees of the bankrupt, to look after the property, and he is at present at Swansea, in search of a cart load of it which was taken there from Merthyr. On his return the whole matter will be gone into. At present the magistrate said he could do nothing in the ttiatter.-NVe have since learned that the person (James Donnelly) who took the mare, has sent a letter dated Abergavenny, Feb. 7, to Mrs (Jay, telling her that he had left her mare at the Cawdor Arms, Llan- dilo, with directions to have it taken care of, and that Morgan would pay her demanù- it was not. he said, convenient" for him to come back. A servant from the Cawdor Arms has brought back the mare to Mis Gay, and with it a bill for II s for its keep. We have not heard that Morgan has paid Mrs Gay or the carrier who took the hats to Swansea. Donnelly, it appears, rode as far as Swansea, procured the goods, and put them on boanl of ship, with a view to having them carried off; they were taken f otn Merthyr as the property of II. Morg&n, and shipped as the pro- perty of Weatherton and Co., and were intended for Bristol, but the assignee's messenger was too sharp for him, and caused them to be seized and brought ashore again, and has since brought them to Merthyr. THIEVING PARTNERSHIP. — John Stacey, alius Casey, and John Barrett were brought before his worship, on two charges, viz one for robbing the shop of Mr Joseph Barnett, a Jew clothes salesman, and another for robbing the shop of Mr Samuel Davies, also a clothes salesman, and both of High Street, NlerLilyr. It appeared from the evidence of the witnesses that between seven and eight o'clock last night, the priso- ners went into Mr Barnett's shop, and Stacey asked tor a pair ot drawers, which were shown to him. He then asked for a flannel shirt, and while Barnett was getting the shirt he observed Barrett leave the shop, ) and he thou ht he had somethiug with him. on which. he asked Stacey whether he hud taken any thing; but Stacey replied that he had only gone to the door to speak to another man who had come with them. Very soon after this, William Evans, brother in iaw of Mr S. Davies, and employed by him, went into Barnett's shop. saying he ha,1 seized the prisoner Barrett, who had a white flannel coat under his arm. which he (Evans) suspected he had stolen from Mr Harnett's shop. Mr Barnett said it was his coat, and he had seen it just before in the shop. Here both the prisoners made a dash at the shop door, with a view to escape, but Evans .stood firm and prevented it. A. constable was then sent for, and Barrett was given 1 into custody, while nothing positive being charged against Stacey, he was !ct o. and took his departure. This was the whole of the charge as far as related to the robbery at Mr Barnett's, and on this charge both the prisoners were committed, as was clear that Stacey was implicated in tin crime of Barrett. The charge of robbing the shop of Mr Samuel Davies was then gone into. It appeared from the evidence that as John Mtllward. the constable, was walking down the High Street, with the prisoner Barrett in his custody he was called by Mrs Elizabeth Davies, wife of Mr S. Davies, and informed him that her husband's shop had heen robbed about an hour before by the prisoner (Barrett) and another man (bftth navigators). stating that they had come into her shop, under the pretence of buying some stockings, which, however, they (lid not buy, and that as soon as they were goua she missed a waistcoat piece, which she had seen a few minutes before in the shop, and she had observed while her back was turned, that the prisoners wade a rustling noise as if they were hiding something. Soon alterwards her husband came in, and she told him the facts, on which lie sent his shopman, William Evans, who had passed through the shop while the prisoners were there and said he knew them, to see if he could learn whither they had gone. Evans accordingly went after them, and presently observed them enter the shop ol Mr Barnett, the door of which they closed. He watched the door, and in a short time Barrett came out ot the shop with a white flannel coat under lus arm, and having walked a few steps lie put on the steam, and was running off, when he was seized by Evans, who said to him "Come back, you have got the man's coat with you," to which be replied that the man (Barnett) had trusted him. He then took him to Mr Harnett's shop, as before stated the constables took Barrett to the lock up and then went in search of Stacey, whom they could not find any where that night, although they searched newly
