HER MAJESTY'S! SPEECH, r d ,t"'1!f, ( '7: The Opening of Parliament. .— The Lords Commissioners took their seats on the Woolsack; "on Thursday afternoon at the usual hour, when the Lord"; Chancellor delivered the following most gracious speech My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, We are commanded by her Majesty to. acquaint you that her, Majesty receives from all Princes and States assurances of a friendly disposition towards this country, and of an earnest desire to co-operate with her Majesty in the main- tenance ofgeneralpeace. By the Treaty which her Majesty has concluded with the United States of America, and by the adjustment of those differences, which, from their long continuance had endan- gered the preservation of peace, her Majesty trusts that the amicable relations of the two countries have been confirmed. The increased exertions which, by the liberality of Parlia- ment, her Majesty was enabled to make for the termination of hostilities with China, have been eminently successful. The skill, ardour, and discipline of the naval and military forces employed upon this service have been most conspicu- ous, and have led to the conclusion of peace upon the terms proposed by her Majesty. Her Majesty rejoices at the prospect, that by the free access which will be opened to the principal marts of that populous and extensive empire, encouragement will be giveni to the commercial enterprise of her people. ,i As soon as the Ratifications of the Treaty shall have been, exchanged, it Will be laid before you. In concert with her Allies, her Majesty has succeeded in obtaining for the Christian population of Syria the establish- ment of a system of admiiistrition which they were entitled to expect from: the engagements of the Sultan, and frogc the good faith of this country. The differences for some time existing between the" Turkish abd Persian Governments had recently led to acts -of hostility but as each of these States has accepted th^r jpint ii^ediation of Great Britain and Russia, her Majesty' entertains a confident hope that their mutual relations-wilt: be speedily and amicably adjusted. Her Majesty-has concluded with the Emperor of Russiw-a- Treaty of Cofewnerce and Navigation, which will be laid before you; Her Majesty regards this Treaty with great;, satisfaction,7 as the foundation for increased intercourse ife-- tween her Majesty's subjects and those of the Emperor. Her Majesty is happy to inform you that complete success* his attended the recent military operations in Affghanistan." Her Majesty has the greatest satisfaction in recording her high sense of the ability with which these operation have been directed, and of the constancy and valour which have -been manifested by the European and native forces. The superiority of her Majesty's arms has been established by decisive victories on the scenes of former disasters, and the C9mplete liberation of her Majesty's subjects who were held in captivity and for whom her Majesty felt the deepest interest, has been effected. We are commanded by her Majesty to inform you that it has not been deemed advisable to continue the occupation, by a military force, of the Countries to the westward of the Indus. GENTLEMEN-OF TttlB HotisE OF COMMONS, Her Majesty has directed the Estimates for the ensuing year to be laid' before you. Such reductions have beeni made in the amount of the Naval'and Military Force as! ree as] have beert deemed compatible, Under present circumstances, with the efficient performance of the Public Service through-: out the'extended Ejnpire of her Majesty. Mir TOROS AND GENTLEMEN,— Her Majesty regrets the diminished receipts from some Of the ordinary sources of revenue. Her Majèsty fears that it must be in part attributed to the reduced consumption of many articles, caused by that de- pression of the manufacturing industry of the country which* has so long prevailed, and which her Majesty has so deeply lamented. 1 J In considering, however, the present state of the revenue, her Majesty is assured that you will bear in mind, that it has been materially affected by the extensive reductions in the Import Duti,es, which received your sanction during the e last session of Parliament, and that little progress, has been hitherto made in the collection of those' taxes which were imposed, for the purpose of supplying the deficiency from that and other causes. Her Majesty feels confident that the future produce of the revenue will be sufficient to meet every exigency or the public service. ■ Her Majesty commands us to acquaint you, that her Ma- jesty derived the utmost gratification from the loyalty and affectionate attachment to her Majesty, which were i fested on the occasion of her Majesty's visit to Scotland. I r Her Majesty regrets that in the course of last year the public peace in some of the manufacturing districts was seriously disturbed, and the lives and property of he^ Majesty's subjects were endangered by tumultuous assem-i r tilages and acts of open violence. The ordinary law promptly jSntbrfced Was sufficient for the cffeCtaal repression of thesi! didr" Her Majesty confidently relies upon its efficacy, And upon the zealous support of her loyal, and peaceable t subjects, for the maintenance of tranquillity. We are commanded by her Majesty to acquaint you that iheasures connected with the improvement of the law, and with various questions of domestic policy, will be submitted for your consideration. "r' Her Majesty confidently relies on your zesloiis endeavours to promote the public welfare, and fervently prays that the favour of Divine Providence may direct and prosper your counsels, and make them conducive to the happiness and contentment of her people.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS.-TUESDAY, JAN. 31. (Before Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce.) MUNTZ V. GIIKN.FELL. In this case, in which Mr. Muntz, M.F., waa plaintiff, an injunction had been obtained shortly before the holidays restraining the defendants, Messrs. Grenfell, from infrine- ment of an alleged patent of the platntiff. The order for the injunction directed that the plaintiff should bring an action to try the validity of the patent with all due diligence. The facts were stated at length when the motion for the injunc- tion was made. Mr. JC. Parker, Mr. Sergeant DQwlhig, and Mr. Hethe- riligton," now moved, on the part of the defendants, that the injunction, might be dissolved, on the ground that the plaintiff had not used due diligence ihbringing his action. Mr. L. Wigram and Mr. Fullett opposed the motion. His Honour at the conclusion of the argument said he should direct that, the venue should be changed either to London or Surrey, at the election of the defendants; notice of such election to be given to the solicitor of the'plaintiff before twelve o'clock oil Thuasday next—both parties to consent to set down the cause as soon as possible for the present sittings for London, if that should be the venue chosen, and to admit that sufficient notice of the trial had been given either for the assizes or the sittings, as the case might be. The trial not to take place after the 18th of February, the defendants on or before Saturday next, to deliver to the plaintiff, or to his solicitor, a list of all such books, pamphlets, publications, specifications, and lectures, as he should offer in evidence, or produce for any purpose at the trial. The parties were to have liberty to apply, and he should reserve all costs. His Honour, in the course of the day, noticed the ex- tremely inconvenient nature of the construction and ar- rangemedts of the Court. He trusted that before he sat there again, some alterations would be made so as to give better accommodation to the bar, and the practitioners in the Court generally.

THE COLLIERS OF LANARKSHIRE. -The ejectment of the colliers and miners of this county from their houses, with the view of bringing them to the terms of their employerlJ, goes forward vigorously. We are informed that yesterday about 30 colliers, with their wives and children, beddin^ furniture, &c., were turned out at a colliery above Hamil- ton. To-morrow a number more will be similarly ejecte4,1, and on Monday and the early part of next week about 2i50 more.—Glasgow Chronicle. MURDER OF MR. DRUMMOND.—That Sir Robert Peel was the individual intended to be shot, the following letter to the Times on the subject clearly demonstrates. The writer says—Veiwing the accounts of NicNi, augliten's alleged insanity in conjunction with his "frequent visits to France," and his acknowleged intention to have killed Sir R. Peel I cannot help supposing that the design had been lurking in the prisoner's mind for a considerable period of time, and t lat the symptoms of insanity which he manifested in Scotland were assumed for the purpose of hereafter afording impunity for the black deed he was meditating. This idea is strengthened by the fact that the person chosen to be the witness of his madness was no less than the Lord Provost of Glasgow of himself, whose testimony he probably thought would, in a court of justice, prove of no inconsiderable weight in his behalf f and when we remember that Mr. Drummond was, during Her Mrjesty's visit in Scotland, ac- tually mistaken for, and cheered as, Sir R. Peel, it seems but natural to conclude that McNaughten then fancied he had in the person of Mr. Drummond, made himself ac- quainted with the Premier himself. It is not my desire to c'eate a prejudice -against the prisoner, but to see all these circumstances thorougly sifted, and weighed collectively, .„,c, ein& t'ie method best apopted for carrying out the ex- cellent maxim. MILFORD, Jan. 20.The stern of the Jessie Logan's longboat was washed ashore on Freshwater Sands, also the cut-ater of a vessel of about 600 tons, apparently North American build, and sexeral pieces of logwood. The stem of a small boat, marked George Evans," painted inside, was also washed ashore, which leaves no doubt that the vessel seen to founder off this harbour was the Wellington, of Cardiff, Evans, master, from Waterford to Gloucester. r',lv,eL- the Countess of Arran, from Liverpool for Savannah, with loss of sails, out thirteen days. SINOuLAR C I RCT, -,ISTAN cE. --Last week a dog, belonging to Mr. D. Gunn, Nypster, pursuing a hare, and while in the act of laying hold of her, pussy suddenly turned round, caught ner antagonist's tongue, and bit it off. The poor dog sur- vived but a few minutes, and the hare consequently escaped. -Wwv'GwtJwMU

POLICE.—COUNTY DIVISION. [Before the Revs. Pope, and S. Hall, at Mr. T. J. Phillips's Office, Febuary the 1st.] HORSE STEALING. John Duchett, was this day committed to take his trial at the ensuing Assizes for stealing a mare of the value of 1:20 the property of Mr. W. Keen of Nash. LARCENY. Thomas Hurn, was also committed to the next Assizes, to take his trial for stealing a handkerchief belonging to T. Rees of Risca. ROBBERIES AND ATTEMPTS AT HOUSEBREAKING. — Within the last week, the house of Mr. John Phillips, grocer, of Ebbw Vale, was attempted to be entered by some person or persons breaking the window and stealing some butter. They could not succeed in doing more mischief.— At Fleur de Lis, at attempt was made to enter the premises of Mr. John Watkins, shopkeeper, by cutting the glass in the window by a diamond. The inmates being alarmed, arose, upon hearing which the thieves decamped without doing further damage.—On Saturday night, a watch, value nine pounds, was stolen from the mantle piece in the bar of the Rising Sun, Ebbw Vale.—A person called at the Red Lion Inn, Tredegar, on Friday morning, and, after drinking a pint of beer, contrived to take from off the line in the kitchen, a pair of the landlord's stockings, but boniface being rather too wide awake, the fellow threw them under a bench in the room. There were three or four men drinking in the kitchen at the time, but did not perceive the stockings making their exit.

THE MONMOUTHSHIRE COLLIERS.-The Bristol corres- pondent of the Times writes :-The strike of the Mon- mouthshire colliers still continues, but fr0f^ accurate information I can ascertain, I am ena e o s a e that it is entirely a question of wages, and not at all of a political character. Though the meeting of men in large bodies under such circumstances is always alarmiii-I yet I am happy to state that in no instance, as far as I can learn, have they committed any breach of the peace. J^,v conduct of the magistrates of Glamorganshire, ai e • Davies, the superintendent of police at Merthyr, has com- pletely stopped any disturbance in that lleighbourhood, and some of them. having been apprehended andbrougt before the magistrates at Aberdare, were convicted of leaving their work without notice; sentence was not, however, passed upon them, upon their agrseipg to retUW, WW » at a meeting held afterwards, they all of them agreed to do. An intelligent superintendent of police in this district say- I am afraid much injury may be done on the outskirts of Monmouthshire, but here I think we have crushed it in its bud, solely through the mild yet prompt and decisive measure adopted by the magistrates." In Monmouthshire they have been holding meetings at Rtsca Cross, Penmain, Gelly Gaer, &c., and they continue prowling about different parts of the country in hundreds. No disturbance has, however, yet taken place, and I sincerely hope none will. MONMOUTH. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.SATURD.&Y, JAN. 28. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QURF14 V. CAPTAIN MAYER. It will be recollected that a rule was obtained a short time since calling upon Captain Mayer to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him, for sending a challenge to Major Coles, clerk of the peace, and under-sheriff for the county of Somerset. The Attorney-General (with whom were Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Watson) now appeared on behalf of Captain Mayer, who was desirous of doing to-day what he was very willing to have done before; and, as soon as he had discovered the improper conduct that he adopted towards Major Coles, he was desirous of doing him that justice which every man was bound to do towards another, whose conduct was misun- derstood. Captain Mayer had acted under an impression which had turned out to be erroneous. Captain Mayer was perfectly satisfied that Major Coles bed not taken any part in the conduct of which Captain Mayer complained. Capt. Mayer was, therefore, desirous of offering the most ample apology which any gentleman could properly offer, and which another gentlemen with propriety could receive. He wished to express his extreme regret that he had entertained an erroneous impression, -and to admit that he was wrong in calling upon Majer Coles at all. He was also Anxious to have it distinctly understood that Major Colqs went from this Court with the character of having, throughout the transaction, acted as became his station, and had throughout conducted himself as a man of honour. He believed that this would satisfy the Solicitor-General, and he hoped the good feeling which formerly subsisted between these parties would be renewed. Lord Denman thought the best course had been adopted to secure that object.—Rule discharged.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE RICHARD SMITH, ESQ. The obsequies of this lamented gentleman took place Oil Wednesday morning; and it having been publicly announced that his remains would be attended to the grave by the members of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Bristol, in masonic mourning by other gentlemen desirous of paying the last tribute of respect to the departed and by the chil- dren of the City Schools, the line of route was thronged with spectators, not- only in every window of the houses, but by multitudes on foot, who tramped through the mire of the dirty streets to catch a glimpse of the procession. The arrangements were under the superintendence of Mr. Penton, undertaker, of High-street, and were carried out with much ability, and with every regard to the mournful solemnity of the occasion. The hearse and carriages having left the private residence of the deceased in Park-street, were joined at the Institution by the full body of Masons, in their respective lodges, and at the Mayor's Chapel by the Charity Trustees, and children of the City Schools. As the procession moved slowly onwards to its destination, due decorum was manifested by the countless thousands who had gathered to witness the novel spectacle. Nearly all the shops on the line of route were either wholly or partially closed; the bells of the different churches tolled their melan- choly chimes as the procession entered the boundaries of their respective parishes, whilst a muffled peal from the venerable tower of Temple, indicated that there was the spot where the remains of the deoeased were to find their last earthly resting placo. On nearing Temple-street, the procession was much im- peded in its course by the crowds of spectators assembled. In a short time, however, the road was cleared, and the pro- cession arrived at the gates a little before twelve o'clock. The Red Maids, the City-School Boys, th-e Charity Trustees, the Body of the deceased, and the Ministers of Religion, &c. entered the church as they arrived; but the members of the Masonic Lodges ranged themselves on each side of the court leading to the church, forming an avenue, through which the officers of their body passed. When all were assemble-d in the chwrch, the Rev. L. R. Cogan, minister of Temple, read the beautifully appropriate 39th and 90th Psalms, and also delivered a short but im- pressive address. The procession was then re-formed, and took its sorrowful way to the north-east corner of the- church- yard, where the grave was prepared for the reception of the body. The solemn and affecting service for the dead was then read by Mr. Cogan, and the body committed to the earth those who had taken part in the procession gathering round the grave to take a last look at the coffin which con- tained the mortal remains of their deceased brother, friend, and benefactor. Upon the return of the Brethren to the Masonic Hall, a very impressive address was delivered by the Provincial Grand Chaplain, Brother Rev. Dr. Irvine, which was listened to with the deepest interest and attention and thus closed the mournful proceedings of the day. Mr. Smith was passionately fond of music, and belonged to several societies, to one the Saint Augustine's Glee Club," for nearly forty years. In connection with his love of this delightful science the following anecdote is told.; for years he had been in the habit regularly of dining with his very particular friend, our esteemed fellow citizen, Alfred Bleeck, Esq., on the anniversary of the birthday of the latter, which occurred for the 44th time about a month since, on which occasion Mr. Smith presented his friend with a fine and rare set of Warren's Collection" of glees, catches, &c.: on a blank page of the first vol. was written in his own hand the following inscription, which as we now perceive had an almost prophetic air about it: — With the best wishe3 for his health and happiness and prosperity through life, These Five Volumes of "Warren's Collection," are Presented to ALFRED BLEECK, ESQ. On the 44th Anniversary of his Birthday, byan old Associate and boon Companion in the Saint Austen and Phoenix Glee Societies, RICHARD SMITH, Surgeon, of Bristol. Now know ye all men whom it may concern, that these are the conditions of the Gift:- 1st.—That the said worthy Comrado Alfred Bleeck, Esq., shall not part with them so long as he is able to bear a Bob in a Catch, Glee, or Madrigal. 2nd.-That daring his ensuing Birthdays, he shall, together with the Company then and there assembled, at some con- venient time in the Evening, drink Bumpers in profound silece, to The Pious Memory of the Donor." But after a lapse of two minutes exactly, the Company shall strike up Smart's Glee of" With my jug in one hand, and my pipe in the other." And to recall the memory of auld lang syne Shall old acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind." N ON' OMNIS MORIAR. In this same book there is a short history of several glee and catch clubs that have been in Bristol during the last forty years, with a list of the members, and the dates of the death of several of them. It is curious that it was in order to fill up a blank left for one of these obituaries that Mr. Bigg was furnishing him with the information before alluded to, when his death occurred.

THE MECHANICS' INSTITUTE. To the Editor of the Advertiser and Guardian. SIR,-It is with some pleasure that I hail the advancement of any object calculated to improve the condition of the in- habitants of any town; and it is with infinite satisfaction and gratitude that I perceive a visible improvement in the Mechanics' Institute, held in this place, from the fact, that classes are about to be formed for improvement in various and useful branches of knowledge and will, I believe, as soon as the lists of the respective classes are filled up, be commenced. One thing connected with the Institution I very much regret. I allude to the very few public lectures which have been delivered since its formation. During the first session, if I may so term it, several lectures were delivered, which tended much to amuse, as well as improve, its members on the subjects treated by the several able lecturers who then came forward. The present session, from some unknown cause to me, has proved far more insipid in this respect, there not having been but one or two lectures delivered altogether. I do not wish to attach a dereliction of duty to either of the secretaries, Messrs. Clinton and Lowder, but I believe them to be most zealous in their efforts to improve the Institution in every possible manner, and to have the interest of the society at heart. Still I hope before the session has entirely departed that some gentleman of the town will come forward, and favour the members of the Institution with an occasional lecture. I could name many but, probably, should this meet their observation, they will take the hint, and at once announce their lectures. I remain, Mr. Editor, Yours, very obediently, Jan. 30, 1843. A MECHANIC. I To the Editor of the Advertiser and Guardian. Fallax T-Ulgi jUAiCiUM.PIIA:DRUS. SIR,-IVith extreme regret I read in your valuable columns of the 21st instant, an account of the disgraceful and tur- bulent character of the Church Rate Meeting at Merthyr," and with still deeper feelings of regret, I find the name of a gentleman there, who appears to me to be in a false posi- tion- one of folly. "Stultitia plerumque exitio est," ap- plying the least offensive and most charitable construction to his conduct--but the consequences of his folly may become most serious. I allude to Mr. Charles J. Powell, of Dowlais, who, as he has assumed a public position, and become part and parcel of public property, I have a right to deal with in that capacity. The old adage says, "Cui fidas, vide," he has made the leap, aud must now look with regret into the abyss into which he has plunged The value of your time and columns will not permit me to dissect this meeting in the manner I should wish; on the whole affair from beginning to end, there can be but oia opini,'Dn- still I consider myself bound to address the observations I am about making to the individual in question, and in doing so, I am not biassed by animosity or political difference, far from it, but from a feeling of deep respect for the venerable parent of Mr. C. J. Powell. Should my remajks be ob- noxious to him, he must recollect that he has sought them by his own act and deed. For brevity's sake, I will put a case to this gentleman, one, that is just as likely to occur in his father's parish, as it has in the one where he now resides —A church rate meeting is called on a certain day at Aber- gavenny—the chair to be taken at an appointed time—that chair by all former precedents (for nearly half a century) filled by his father, the much esteemed and venerable vicar, but from some untoward event, he has not arrived!—de- tained possibly at the bed side of some dying parishioner, for whom he is offering up prayers to the Throne of Mercy. This is no extreme or rare occurrence—but thus, or in any other respect detained-the ministers of the church are not their own masters. During this delay the ostler of the Angel Inn, at Abergavenny, is proposed and seconded to take the chair the son of a Clergyman of the Established Church, is requested to take the sense of the meeting on the question-he decides in his favour, and Bob Oàta, the ostler, is duly installed chairman! I aek him what would be his feelings. under similar circumstance-%I What! & scion of the house of Wernddu, tamely submitting to be a passive tool in the hahdsi of Mr. D. W. James, and permit himself to be put in juxta position with the Dowlais ostler and thus be the tacit instrument of insulting the respected, and worthy curate of his parish! Where are hjs feelings of paternal love 1 Where the respect for that Holy Church, and its ministers! upon the footsteps of whose altar he was born, nurtured by it in infancy, and supported in manhood I ask him where are all these?-" Fructu, non fbliis, ar- borem estima."—What value can be placed upon such fruit, although from so honest a tree, to be the led captain of Lewis Lewis! From the known respectability of Mr. C. J. Powell's family and his connexions, these persons borrow a ray of confidence, transient as it is, which swells out at last to intolerable indolence, and the spirit of spch, once raised, becomes a demon upon earth, for they will carry out the old proverb—" lmprobi, ne pereant, perdunt." Mr. C. J. Powell has raised a hornets nest around him, that may one day sting him to death, and the advice of a sincere well-wisher to him, is this, let his reform commence upon some other fabric than the corner stone of the Church of England, let him not pollute his hands, by assaulting that establishment, of which, for generations, his own family have been the ministers and rupporterfi-let not his, name stand forward as a beacon, upon which thousands of workmen, partially enlightened, may turn, as upon a pivot, and respond to the call of the Dissenter and disaffected, sounding forth as a warrant for their contumely-4be name of the son of the Tenerable, the esteemed, and honoured Vicar of Abergavenny!! But I am much astonished in not finding in the report of this meeting the names of Mr. Crawshay, Mr. Alderman Thompson, Messrs. Hill, Mr. Meyrick, &c. &c. How is it that these large. rate-payers were not present to support the minister? Is Merthyr Tydvil so degenerate 1 that her sons are not forth earning in a case of such emergency-that a Socinian Gallio, and a cidevant Ostler, are permitted to undermine the Church with impunity 1 I blush for Merthyr! I Thus deserted by her ungrateful children. With great reluctance I have troubled you on this subject, but I consider it a duty I owe to society, and to the family of the Powells of Wernddu, to give this warning, trusting that I may be the humble means of timely preventing this young scion of that ancient house, from being a participator in any attempt, direct pr indirect, to injure the Established Church of England, the support of His Sovereign, and the bulwark of the British Constitution 1 I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, FABRICIUS. London, January 26th, 1843.

SUPPOSED MURDER.-DREADFUL STORY. A circumstance occurred at Leeds on Sunday last, which has caused great excitement in that town, as it appears there is every reason to believe that a deed of blood, of a charac- ter as horrid as those of which Greenacre and Daniel Good Were the perpetrators, and also of a similar description, has been perpetrated. On the day mentioned the headless and limbless body of A human being was found floating in the Knostrop Cut of the Aire and Calder Navigation, within about 50 yards of the lock on that cut known by the name of the Red Dick Lock, and within a few yards of the Thorn-hall or Waterloo Coal Staiths, belonging to the Thorp-hall Colliery, the pro- perty of Messrs. Fenton and Leather. The body had been seen on the previous day by some men who were loading a vessel with coals at the staith, but they took it to be the Remains of a dog or a pig, or some other animal, and left it remain without touching it or at all examining it. On Sunday it was floating with its back upwards, and then at once it was seen to be the trunk of a human being. It was got to shore by a policeman and two young men, Who were walking on the bank of the cut or canal, who first really saw that it was a large portion of the body of either a man or woman. On being got to shore it was found that the body was dreadfully scorched and burnt; that the head with the neck had been cut off, the right arm cut and seperated by the shoulder joint, and that the left arm had been partially cut end sawed off. Both the legs and thighs had also been either cut, burnt, or sawed off, and the body itself cut across just below the ribs, taking away the lower portion of the abdomen, Indeed, the whole of the body, except from the shoulders to the lower ribs, had been removed. The front of the body, especially the upper Portion, was burnt in a most shocking manner, both the breasts being completely burnt off, so that there was only a piece of shrivelled matter on each side where the breasts had been. The front of the abdomen had also been burnt away, and the heart, the-lungs, and the other viscera had suffered from the action of fire. From the appearance of the back of the body MEDICAL men haye Judged it to be that of a female, NEATH. An inquvjt was held before Thomas Thomas, Esq., coroner, at tlr, Miner*' Arms, Skewiti, touching the death; of Marv Jenkins, widow. The jury, after a short consults- }ion, returned a "ènf."t of "Found drowned." NSATH TOWN-HALL. January 27, present—F. Fredricks, 1 Gwyn, Henry Thomas, and Griffith Llewellyn, Esqrs.]- Mr. Thos.

Mr. Tripp stated the case on the part of Rolls and others, whom hip said were trustees to a certain building club, established! iii the above town, and tba thequestipn for the consideration of the jury was, whether the plaintiff, Mr. Smith, was tenant to the defendants, and was at preseilt indebted to them in' the sum of jES 9s. for arrests,* The committee of the clubi designated this "^Singleton Terrace Buitdmg Cl^b, weire; tu Messrs.

Jones to rent one.of the bouses, under that agreement until August 1842; in consequence of the rent not being paid Mr. Maiisifeltl, as solicitor to the club, ordered a distraint forjthe sum of £ 9 9s. to.be made on Mr. Smith's effects, on which Mr. Smith had thought proper; to commence the present action of replevin. Mr. David Howell, builder, was called to prove that the plaintiff held possession from December 25tu, 1841. On cross- examination by Mr. Melvin, the witness admitted he had an; interest in the house in qwstiou, and was a member, of the above club; and that the ho.use was not quite finished, when Mr. Smith took possession. George Harry, a clerk in the office of Mr. Mansfield, was also examined to prove as to some prior distraint made on Mr. Smith s effects, and.as to What was done on that occasion. Mr. Melvin, on the part of the plaintiff, called Caroline Hughes, who had been ser-; vant to Mr. Smith for the last eight months,-and she proved; that the plaintiff, Mr. Smith, was not in possession the, house in question. until the 18th day of June last, and that np goods were removed there until the last-mentioned- period; that the house was not even at, that time finished, and;that the paper-hangers did not come in until about the -middle of July, about a month after Mr. Smith had removed his goods to the premises.. Mrs. Caroline Gibbs, the wife of IS (' Mr. Thomas Gibbs, of this town, was next examined by. Mr. Melvin, who stated that she perfectly well reanembered Mr. Smith taking possession of the house on the 18th day of; Jiune last; that it was not then fit for occupation, and that the water came pouring in from the roof upon the beds from the attic and the lower story, much damaging them; that the paper-hangers did not come in until the middle of July tiast., Mr. Jones, one of the committee, had promised Mr.' Smith, that be should not commence, rent until the house was finishedand rendered rexitablq. On the witness making this assertion, Mr. Jones. "who was in court, and standing- behind the judge of the court, loudly exclaimed, That's a lie." JLe was called to order immediately by Mr. Thomas Thomas, and reproved by him for his conduct. The witness concluded by stating,|that the house was not finished so as to be in a tenantable,state to the present period. r., Melvin, in his address to the jury strongly urged on behalf of his client, the injustice of charging his client with rent from so far back as December, 184l,i when it, was proved that the plaintiff did ,not remove into.the house until June 1842, arising from the fact proved; and also by the admission of Mr. Howell, on, his cross-examination,: that the house was not finished, and that workmen Were even upon the premises after the last- mentioned period. Mr. Melvin also severely animadverted upon the conduct of Mr. Jones, in giving the lie publicly in court to one of the plaintiff's witnesses; and that witness, a ret;pectable femate, and this whilst under, examination on. her oath.

NEWPORT. OPENING OF THE NEW TOWN HALL, NEWPORT 0 THE BALL. A ball took. place at the Town-Hall, Newport, on Tuesday evening last, to celebrate the opening of that splendid building. The weather was very unfavourable, as it rained in torrents all the evening. This, however, did not prevent the attendance of a large company, as we understand that 170 tickets were taken at the door. About ten o'clock, Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., C. M. R. Morgan, Esq., M.P., of Ruperra; O.Morgan, Esq., M.P., General Milman, and other members and friends of the Tredegar family, arrived at the Town-hall. There were also present Sir Charles Salushury and friends, from Llan- wern; Rev. J. Coles, officers of 73rd Regiment, C. Prothero, Esq., (Maindee) and lady S. Towgood Esq., and lady; T. J. Phillips, Esq., lady, and daughters T. Woollett, Esq., lady, and Miss Woollett: W. S. Cartwright, Esq., (Mon- mputhshiire hunt dress) Messrs. Iggulden, Morrison, D. Tombs, jun., Morgan, Hughes, Morris, Dowling, H. J. Dalies, Townsend, and Desmond, members of the Town- council; R. Fothergill, Esq., Tredegar: T. R. Williams, Esq., W. Williams, jun., Esq., and lady Jehoida Brewer, Esq., N. Coats, Esq., Sirhowy; J, Justice, Esq., and lady; Mrs. H. J. Davies, Mrs. Martin Morrison, J. Frazer, Esq., and family; T.

Sir Charles Morgan led off the good old country dance, the "Tiiph," with Mrs. Morgan, of Ruperra. The band of the 73rd Regiment attended, and played throughput the evening various favourite waltzes and qnadrill^Sj apd dancing was kept up with some spirit until two o'clock, when the company adjourned to a room on the ground flopjj where a collation had been laid out in Mr. Ljoyd'sjery best style. Sir Charles's health was rapturously drank, with ntusical,^ipp^^rs j and he left, accompanied by his suite, at -three o'qlqck* ^Abo^tj^ve o'clock the room was pretty well cleared. £ The e,vening passed off delightfuliy, and the arrangements werpf really excellent. Great credit is due to Mr. Superin- teadent,.Ana't,vo. officers on duty with him, for keeping such good order, and preventing the slightest annoyance to visitors ffom the crowd, who pressed forward, anxious to thave a passing glanse of the showy dresses. The ball-roorn was magnificently lit with the Bude Light. Mr. H. Webber, of the Gas-works, had also caused a flighted; pipe of gas to be fixed outside the front entrance, and. a splendid star to be placed at the end of the passage at the foot of the staircase. On the whole, we believe every party derived the greatest satisfaction from the evening's •. a m use men t—a very rare thing, we fancy, in public balls generally. Mr. Bjlewitt was unavoidably absent in town. 4 v NEWPORT POLICE.-Jan. 30th. ■ [Before the Mayor and T. Hughes, Esquire.] Mr. Flint, the master of the Union Workhouse, charged a bby, named Allen, with having been guilty of several misde- 'meanours in the Union-house that rendered it necessary he should be brought before their worships.

COAL STEALING. Charles Foland, John Rowe, and Thomas Taylor, three youngsters about fourteen years old, were charged with stealing coal from the yard of Mr. Martin Morrison.

A VAGRANT. 1 A fellow-calling himself by the fashionable name of John Jones," was charged by Mr. W. Townsend with loitering about Hill-street, and not giving a good account of himself, between 11 and 12 o'clock on Friday night.

He was sent to his old quarters for two months. A HAPPY COUPLE. Joseph Summers and Ann Summers, his wife, were placed at the bar, charged by Mr. John Frost, of Market-street, with being drunk and disorderly, making a noise in his hoHse, and stealing a pocket handkerchief from him.

The two prisoners commenced fighting .with each other, and the male knocked the female down. -*he, however, came to time," and appeared per- ifewy wot acquainted with the art of self defence. Upon FBost interfering to turn them out, and collaring the ;male .jMisoiieri the female attacked him. Before this time Mr-. Ejpast felt J. Summer's hand in his pocket, and accused stealing his handkerchief, which he saw afterwards ..ob:the giouiid.
