COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, November 4th, The Queen, on the prosecution of James Da vies, v. the Mayor and Corporation of the Borough of Swansea. Mr. W. James applied on the part of the de- fendants, for a rule to show cause why the verdict given for the plaintiff in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial granted. In this case there had been a mandamus issued to the defendants, commanding to execute a bond to the prosecutor, securing to him payment of a sum of £270, or an annuity calculated on that amount. The case had come on for trial before Mr. Justice Erskine, at the la3t Welsh assizes, when a verdict was given for the pUintiff. Tlw d..fpndallls' case was, that the claim had no legal foundation. The facts of the case were these. The prosecutor alleged that he had filled the situation of common attorney, collector and treasurer of the borough before the passing of the Junicipal Corporation Act. When that act passed, he put in claim for compensation for the loss of the office of which the new corporation had deprived him. lie allpged that the corporation had not taken this claim into consideration in the way required by the act, and, therefore, applied for the mandamus. On the trial of the return, evidence was tendered on the part of the defendant, with a view to show that the town council had in fact considered and decided ou the claim of Mr. Davies, and had rejected it. This fact Was to be proved by the paroi j testimony of a witness who had been in the town council at the time of the discussion, and who had been directed to communicate the result to Mr. Davies. This witness would have stated, that when he communicated to Mr. Davies the result of the de- cision of the council, that gentleman desired to have permission to appear before the town council, which he was allowed to do, and was then, in the most formal manner, informed of the fact. On the objection to the evidence being made, the learned Judge had desired the defendant's counsel to state what was the nature of that evidence, and on the above statement of it haying been made, the learned Judge held it not to be admissible, and his Lordship took the distinction between the acts of an individual and those of a corporation, and said that, though an individual might act bv word of iiiouth, the law did not recognize in corporations the power to act in that manner. The learned counsel submitted that this was an erroneous decision, for that it was not necessary that in all cases whatever a corporation shou d act by a deed under seal. There were many things which a corpo- ration might do without a deed under seal. The Municipal Corporation Act chiefly required, that a!l the proceedings of the to-ii council should be duly entered in the minute books, and signed by the chair- man, and the acts of the town council thus declared were valid without the execution of any deed under seal. Lord Denman said, that the point now presented to the Court was of considerable importance, and there ought to be a rule to show cause. Other points connected with this particular case were then mentioned, and one of them was, whether Mr. Davies eould be legally considered the holder of the offico in respect of the loss of which he had claimed compensation. Oil this, and the other points also, a rule was granted.

BIRTH OF A PRINCE OF WALES. It is with hearty congratulations that we an- nounce the safe accouchement of the QUEEN, and the birth of an heir apparent to the British Throne. This auspicious event took place on the 9th inst. at Buckingham Palace. Both the Royal Parent and the PRINCE OF WALEs are doing well. In London the manifestation of the public joy was honest and exuberant, and the same feelings of love and loyalty will be echoed by the country. May it please the Disposer of Kvents to protect and bless the young mother and her child- enduing her plenteously with heavenly gifts," and perfecting her offspring in all those princely qualities which befit the son of such a parent, and the heir to such a throne. To take up the language of one of England's early writers we say—" Live long our Prince, and when your Royal Parent shall convert her Regal Diadem into a Crown of Glory, inherit her virtues with 11' hronj". and prove another Phcenix to suc- ceeding generations." The must appropriate exhibition of public re- joicing on this occasion, independently of those loyal addresses which are the natural and long-established modes of popular congratu- lation, will, in our opinion, be some well arranged and liberal distribution to the poor in each town and village in the United Kingdom. The occasion—the season-the public distress also point to such a plan. We would recommend some rational festival, which the aged of half a century hence shall be able to remember as one of the few days of their existence to be marked with a white stone,—a landmark in their lives,—a prominent event in their monotonous chronology, which shall become as familiar to their lips as household words, and to be spoken of in their homely language as a festival that gladdened their hearts when they were boys and girls on the birth of a Prince of Wales. We are not strictly correct in assuming this title for the heir apparent,Ile is Duke of Cornwall by inheritance, but in a few days he will probably be Prince of Wales, by patent of creation,—this dignitylwas conferred on George the 4th when he was five days old. The event which has caused the heart of a mighty nation to leap as it weie for joy, would afford Her Majesty the opportunity of conferring upon the Principality a boon so long desired, and which could be granted, unlike most other Royal benefits, without, expence to the Queen or to the Country. We mean an order of merit- that of St. David's probably—to be limited to natives who have distinguished themselves by public services. Whilst England rejoices in her St. George, and Scotland and Ireland have their St. Andrew and St. Patrick, it seems little less than invidious that Wales should have been so long unhonoured. It is not, we are aware, through the instrumentality of the Provincial Press that the suggestion we have thrown out can be brought under Her Majesty's notice, but surely some of our influential noblemen and gentlemen could be persuaded to bring the matter to the royal ear, and obtain, without difficulty, an honorable distinction for their native country. Let them remind their youthful Sovereign that one of the best and wisest of England's Kings- "The most Christian Champion of the Church- the bright beam of wisdom-the mirror of "justice—the unconquered King-the flower and pride of all chivalry," Henry of Monmouth, was a Welshman.

THE illness of the Queen Dowager excites the deepest sympathy amongst all ranks, not unac- companied with the most serious apprehensions. The insidious disease under which it is well known Her Majesty labours is we fear undermining the springs of life, and defying the skill of the ablest physicians. The affections of the best portion of the people of England have been long placed on this noble lady. From her first appearance amongst us as Duchess of Clarence, and during the whole of het royal course, as Queen Consort and Queen Dowager, she has been distinguished by those exalted virtues that adorn the Woman— the Queen—and the Christian. The foundations of her popularity are solid and enduring—for they have been laid in the hearts of the British people. Her charities have been liberal and un- ostentatious—and it has been well observed that the Church of St. Paul at Malta, built by her liberality, would alone do honour to her name. It is a perpetual monument, and worth all the marbles in the world. Nor is it in England alone that the name of Qusen Adelaide is held in such affectionate Esteem.—They who have visited Meiningen can speak of ihe enthusiastic fondness with which she is there remembered, and there is but one voice of commendation from high to low respecting their cherished and never-forgotten Princess. It was amongst this happy and single minded people that she learnt and afterwards practised those social and domestic virtues, which endeared her to English subjects, and have made her an example of royal dignity and female worth. We do but echo, we are sure, the general voice, when we utter the sincere prayer-tbat He whose hand hath chastened the beloved Queen Dowager, will make all her bed in her sickness, and sustain her in all bodily suffering,—to his gracious mercy and protection we commend her.

IT is with no ordinary satisfaction that we notice the efforts that are making in all quarters to devise wholesome means of occupation for our half-fed artisans and labourers—and we look back with ptide and gratification to the course pursued by ourselves in having long advocated the necessity 0 of providing for our rapidly increasing population from our own resources, and in the land of their birth, as the first and most practicable means of effecting a vast national benefit. The cultivation of waste lands, or in other words Home Colonization,/ if judiciously and energetically carried out, will tend more to remedy present distress, and guard against future privation, than any scheme which the ingenuity of man can devise. As a point of policy its expediency can- not for a moment be. doubted,—in an economical point of view" it is equally desirable, from its requiring no large funds to transport labour to its destination, and from its producing no dislo- cation of society to ensure its fair and effectual adoption. The great evil, in all previous attempts of the kind, has arisen from an over anxiety to reclaim too much at once by the same individual, who (taking a hundred acres as an example) spends much capital and labour to very little pur- pose, solely because it has been distributed over too large a surface, and whose operations if they had been limited to ten or even five acres, (expending the same capital and labour) could not fail to succeed in bringing into a high state of cultivation the smaller amount of waste, how- ever stubborn or impracticable it may have been previously. We hope this point will not be lost sight of-the necessity and advantage of much smaller allotments of waste, than has been cus- tomary hitherto. Farming operations on a large scale can only be carried on successfully on well cultivated and perfectly reclaimed soil,—but the minor duties of the husbandman—the rearing poultry and eggs-the making butter and cheese —the cultivation of fruit and vegetables, &c., might all be made a source of great profit to the peasant farmer, of five or ten acres, and without his at all entering into competition with the farmer who breeds and fattens stock on a farm of as many hundred acres—while the towns of the neighbourhood would be benefitted beyond measure, by the ample supply of such smaller articles of agricultural produce :—making their markets what they used to be, cheap and well stocked-and affording thereby a strong induce- ment for persons of limited means to take up their residence there. This is the class of allot- ments into which we wish to see the present wastes converted.—We want to abstract no por- tion of the capital or labour at present devoted to farming on a large scale,-hut we do desire to see a new field for enterprize created for those of limited means—we above all things long to open a channel for the idle sinew that is waiting for employment in our too densely populated towns, —the more particularly as in the projected field for their industry the evils of over-pioduction can never affect us-as it is the growth of food for man and beast that will employ their time and attention. We annex the following extract from the Norivich Mercury as evidence that the subject is largely engaging public attention, and we can assure our readers that the subject of an extensive appropriation of the crown waste lands for such purposes, is at this moment under con- templation by the distinguished head of the Woods and Forests :— CULTIVATION OF WASTE LANDS.—About twenty- five years ago we commenced our endeavours to convince the country of the utility of turning to til- lage the waste but cultivable lands in England, Scotland, and Ireland. We have at intervals, both by public and private representations, unrelaxingly enforced the same object. When the amendment of the old Poor Laws was in contemplation, we urged the connection of a settlement of the unemployed upon the wastes with the general project, by pro- visions which in the majority of instances would have raised the pauper into a small landowner by the agency of his own industry. A crisis is now, we conceive, arrived, when its adoption must be more than ever useful, if not positively indispensable. Two things are at all times, but now most especially, to be desired—food and employment. In contemplating the means of procuring the one and promoting the other, we need only refer to that example which the greatest inventors regard and purslle -the course which nature, herself adopts. What then is the first step towards the settled and permanent production of national wealth ] The cultivation of the soil- from that begins the means of barter for every other creation of labour and art. Food is the first principle as well as the first medium of exchange. We pre- sume that we shall be met at the outset with the argument, that if corn can be more cheaply raised and purchased abroad, it is most advantageous to the country so to procure its supply. We intend neit her to admit nor to deny this assumption, but we propose to maintain that under the existing, under the most probable, or under the best possible, state of our re- lations for years to come, it will be a judicious policy to open this source of fresh agricultural production. For first, we believe (and the belief is sustained by high authorities, Von Raumerisone of them) that the agriculture of this country can compete successfully with foreign ugticulture. Secondly, it is maintained, and can hardly be questioned, that a foreign supply, adequate to the average tcauts of a country, cannot be raised or obtained from abroad, but by the applica- tion of much capital and labour to the foreign soils, and especially till roads or means of easier transit are formed. This must be the work of years, during which, it is probable, England will be compelled to pay the advanced price, a demand equalling or rather above the supply, and the knowledge of her wants will naturally superinduce. 1 hirdly, it appears but too probable that increasing numbers must be born to idleness during the transition to that complete inter- course which it is hoped may be established by the removal of commercial restrictions. These must to a certain extent be gradually abolished, while popu- lation will go on, and perhaps at an accelerated rate, from the promise thus held out. Whatever then is appropriated to the maintenance of the idle-the innocently idle, so to speak-is a deduction from the gross amount of annual earnings, and consequently this total is a premium to the like amount for the employment of those paupers upon our own soil. If, for example, four men must be maintained at a cost of seven shillings a week each, in or out of an union house (food, clothing, fire, and lodging included), it acts as a yearly.bounty of seventy-two pounds six- teen shillings upon the cultivation of every hundred acres of waste land, which would employ the labour of these individuals. We put the comfort, moral and social elevation of these poor people out of the, question for the. moment, and wish merely to show.. the financial operation of the measure in this ret- ,peot,. There are, according to actual survey, about opFTBB* MILLIONS of cultivable acres now lying waste, and its? may fairly be stated the great proportion lies waste- on account of the expences attending the passing of Acts of Inclosijre. It is no exaggeration, to compute that, could all this land be brought into cultivation, at least one hundred millions sterling would be thereby added to the productive annual income of the kingdom, to say nothing of the production it », would stimulate in other ways. ÄgmerqJ inclotm f bill, giving the greatest possible liberty to proprietors to accomplish the purpose by the least expensive means, would at once afford this power so desirable to the owner, the occupier, and the country.- The condition of the country demands it: it wants food—it wants • employment. The waste, lands offer both. They would realize eventually the immeneellum we have named at the very feast—they would gradually call into employment six hundred thousand agricultural workmen, the production of whose labour (all but their expenditure for raw food) would be exchange- able, and exchanged for commodities of other kinds, and wake into action the labour of other hundreds of thousands.

THBRE is no assertion put forth with greater confidence, and none received perhaps with more blind credulity, than that of the Papists respecting the greater antiquity of their Church in Ireland. ;This eripr ig, greatly calculated to deceive the public mind; and a few words on the subject may not be without, their use at the present season. The Church in Ireland then, as Archbishop. Usher has proved, w;as. «ot originally Roman Catholic. It existed and flourished-many centu- rips befell Popery was known there. "Popery became the Teligion of Ireland in the reign "our second Henry. Me and the arms of England forced it on the acceptance of the Irish. It can be shewn that the Hibernian Church maintained its independence both as to authority and doctrine to a much later period than the Anglican. It can be shown, that for three centuries only did Popery maintain its domination over the former. The Reformation, it is true, so invaluable to England, produced but little influence in Ireland- Its in- troduction was but little calculated to make such influence known. Many of the Popish Bishops and Priests, under pretence of conforming to Protestantism, continued to propagate old errors. Plunder and confiscation were the orders of the day-they were numerous and extensive-and it is upon record that 1480 glebes once belonging to the Church are in the hands of laymen, and 562 impropriate rectories and 118 parishes wholly impropriate, making in all 680 parishes. The amount derived from tithes by laymen is said to be;C300,OOO a year. But our present object was to deny the superior claims of the Romanists to antiquity as a Church in Ireland. We call the attention of our readers to the following facts Before the 12th century the Irish paid to the Pope no Peter's pence, no annates or primitije, nor even tithes. The non-payment of these is in fact admitted in the Pope's grant of Ireland to Henry 2nd, for it is therein stipulated, that the king shall cause these imposts to be levied So late as the year 1134, their independence of the Papal authority is manifest from the writings of St. Bernard, who speaks in terms of great in- dignation against the Hibernian Church, because the Irish Bishops chose to marry, preferring the advice of St. Paul to the dogmas of the Roman Church. The Irish were equally independent of the Roman Church in doctrine. The ancient Irish Church knew nothing of Purgatory. St. Patrick in his work De tribus Habitaculis, which he describes as the first, the lowermost, and the middle. The first, the kingdom of God, the lowermost, Hell, the middle, this present world. They were ignorant of prayers for the dead. Claude, an Irish Theologian, about the year 815, writes "Whilst we are in this world we can assist one another by prayer and counsel, but before the tribunal of Christ neither Job nor Daniel nor Noah can entreat for any one but everyone, must bear his own burden. The Irish Church also received the Sacrament in both kinds. Fursenf, an Irishman who died in the year 648, exhorted the Irish Pastors to strengthen the souls of the faithful with the participation of the body and blood of Christ. Thus the present Church of Ireland is the true representative of the ancient,—and the Papists, the usurpers of its authority, have no more claim to its rights and privileges than the disciples of Mahomet, or the followers of Confucius. We are most unwilling at all times to enter upon subjects purely theological. We consider them unfit, and too sacred for newspaper dis- cussion. Our object in this brief statement has been by the relation of facts to show that the early Irish Church was not Papal-and that the Romanists could and did dissent from her doctrine and discipline.

THE RELIGIOUS PROTEUS. The Rev. Mr. Sibthorpe, brother to the eccentric M.P. for Lincoln, is become a Papist He had tried his hand at a variety of Creeds, which had indeed been almost Catholic before he turned Roman.

Vice Chancellor Knight Bruce, and Vice Chan- cellor Wigrarn are both to.he--appaiated- Privy Councillors. The distinction of Vice Chancellor of England is to ccase with Sir Launcelot Shad- well's tenure of the office, and the Vice Chancellors will then rank according to seniority. The new Vice Chancellors take rank immediately after the Chief Baron, and before the Judges. A Danish schooner, called the Gibson, from the Port of Cardiff, botfnd to Altona, had a dreadful collision on the night of Monday the I st inst" with the Schooner "Mark Breeds," Capt. Wallis, which was on her way from London to Liverpool. The Danish schooner sank, and every soul on board perished except the captain, who sprang frGm the rigging to the bowsprit of the Mark Breeds, and was saved. The Danish vessel was laden with iron ore. Our readers will perceive by an advertisement in our advertising columns, that Mr. Jefferson, the Physiologist, is now in this town, and may be con- sulted by those who are anxious to dive into the mysteries of Physiology and Phrenology. We have heard Mr. Jefferson spoken of as a very clever man and we know that many individuals have visited him during the time he has been here. His stay in our town will be but short those, therefore, who wish to consult him should lose no time.
