WE do not understand Mr. Walter and his movements in opposition to the New Poor Law. He is far too high- minded a man to be for a moment regarded as a popu- larity hunter. We believe him to be influenced solely by a conscientious sense of duty in all he does and says- but still his views may be mistaken, his benevolence misdirected, and his interference highly detrimental. Instead of engaging the attention of the House on a set of Resolutions involving certain abstract questions, about which there may be no great difference of opinion, we submit it would be far better to lay his finger at once on such weak or impolitic portions of the New Poor Law as may invite direct, rathei than desultory, discussion, to expose the evil and suggest the remedy—that wbefe the principle is wrong it may be reformed-and that the true distinction may be preserved between an error in prin- ciple and an abuse in practice, the latter being a conse- quence to which the best laws are liable, even if the wisdom of Angels had framed them. The intentions of Mr. Walter are beyond suspicion—his heart is right, but we think his head is wrong. We wish he would exercise his philanthropy to a more practical purpose-and this he may still do by directing his energies against such portions of the Poor Law as are easily assailable. Let him bring forward some tangible and substantive proposal for the amendment of the Law, or, if it so please him, for its total repeal. An Act which has for its object the con- troul of the Poor in their claims for parish relief, can never be rendered palatable or popular amongst those who are subject to its administration-but so long as it is the Law, it should be treated with deference, and all attempts to inflame the public mind and excite prejudices on the subject are highly to be deprecated. The debate was carried on in a comparatively thin house, and termi- nated in no satisfactory result. There was much assertion on the one side, and contradiction on the other; Sir Robert Peel and Sir James Graham defending the Law, both in its principle and its working. We sincerely believe that the New Poor Law Bill, supported by men of all parties, had for its purpose the restoration of the character as well as the comforts of the poor. It is quite beside the mark, we think, to make invidious comparison between the old and the new; the simple question is, has that purpose been effected, or has any amelioration in the moral or social condition of the poor taken place. It cannot be denied that it has had to contend with almost every impediment which could obstruct its progress as an experiment—it has not only been assailed by the most vigorous resistance, but since its first introduction we have seen severe winters, bad harvests, epidemic diseases and the most unexampled Commercial and Manufacturing distress. We, of course, have no power of disproving or verifying the statements and counter-statements pf con- rlictir.g parties, but we wish that each would take a more comprehensive grasp of their duties, both as Christians and as Legislators. There is no system that human wit can devise which can meet all the diversities of cases that present themselves for parochial relief. ettori must be conceded to those in whose hands the distribu- tion of funds is placed. If there is controul there should be also sympathy-and how much judgment is required to distinguish in those cases that lie between poverty as misfortune, and poverty as crime, we need not say. To involve them in one convenient and compendious category is to make the law hateful and oppressive. One uniform inflexible rule, prescribed by statute is impossible to be acted upon with the least show of justice in the administration of public charity, and we fear that the attempt to enforce such well, has furnished the opponents of the New Poor Law with many of their most formidable arguments, and with instances of the most grinding oppression. In its enactment the boldness of modern legislation was eminently conspicuous, and it was im- possible to effect so thorough a change, and to introduce novelties so questionable with powers so enormous, without a vast deal of opposition, if not of tumult,— much suffering and misery was the certain consequence. Under the old system of Poor Law relief a large mass of evils was engendered, which, though it were wisdom to remove, it were true wisdom to remove gradually. The evils were the natural fruit of bad legislation, not the fault of the poor themselves—and the generation of paupers, which legislative errors had called into existence, should have been treated with more kindness and con- sideration. The Duke of Wellington wisely recommended that the experiment should be tried in a few Counties round the Metropolis—but a Government that had carried the Reform Bill was little likely to attend to the suggestions of caution. The Poor Law Amendment Act passed, and has been renewed. Let its operations be narrowly watched, but let us not load it with aspersions that are unjust—where its enactments are severe let them be softened, where its abuses are proved let them be corrected.

Physician Dr. Moore Consulting Surgeon Mr. Reece Surgeon Mr. Evans Visitors. The Rev. J. C. Campbell and Mr. Daw F. M. RUSSELL, House Surgeon. —^r'— SOCIETY OF ANCIENT BRITOIs.-This valuable institu- tion, which maintains, clothes, and educates 200 children born in or near the metropolis, of indigent Welsh parents, celebrated its 130th anniversary of St. David's day on Thursday, the 2nd instant (the 1st being Ash Wednesday, an event that has not occurred since 1797). The Bishop of Hereford preached the sermon at three o'clock, at St. George's, Hanover-square, and the patrons of the charity afterwards dined at the Freemason's Tavern, The Right Hon. T. Frankland Lewis presided. THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.- The Bishop of Chester has had, during the last few months, upwards of thirty applica- tions from Dissenting ministers for admission into Holy Orders. Our own Bishop is continually receiving similar applications. We were glad to see in the Oxford paper, that the Rei. Evan Evans, Scholar of Pembroke College, in that Universitl, (son of our former Mayor, D. Kvans, Esq.,) has been elected a Fellow of that College. MUNIFICENT BEQUEST.—In a short paragraph last week, which had the above heading, there was a misprint, The hundred pounds to the Infirmary was bequeathed by the latp Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins, mother of the late Mr. J. J. Wat- kins, of Crockherbtown, and not by a Mrs. Ely as mis-stated in that paragraph. The Marquess of Bute, according to annual custom, has given a quantity of flannel and shoes, for distribution amongst the necessitous poor of this town and of Lantrissent. ABERAVON.—The Marquess of Bute has lately remitted E25., and Lord James Stuart E20. towards the completion of the Town-hall some years since commenced in this ancient borough. SUDDEN DEATH.—An awful instance of the uncertainty of human life occurred in this town on Tuesday last. Mr. Charles Bradgate, of Newport, Monmouthshire, collector of turnpike gate tolls for Messrs. Hodges, the contractors, was returning from the north gate, on the above morning, when lie turned into Jones's coal-yard, and suddenly staggered an fell to the ground. A surgeon was immediately sent for, but unavailingly, for the unfortunate man was quite dead. The deceased was between 60 and 70 years of age. He had upwards of £ 150. in his possession, which was safely deposited in the bank. CARDIFF CORN RETURNS.—Wheat, per imperial quarter, £ 2. 6s. 0 £ d. Barley, £ 1. 4s. 8d. Oats, 16s. Beans, 1:2. Os. 6d. ———— BOROUGH OF CARDIFF. On Wednesday last Courts were holden by the mayor, and Richard Reece, Esq., alderman of the north ward and Thomas Morgan, Esq., alderman of the south ward, for the annual election of assessors and auditors, and the following gentlemen were elected Auditors. William Richards, timber-merchant, Montague Grover, solicitor. Assessors for the borough. Thomas Evans, solicitor, Evan Morgan, gentleihan. -v.-• I, Assessors for the nortlt ward. ) William Minchin, Esq., William Jones, Esq., Rose Villa. Assessors for the south toard. George Farmer, gun-smith, Daniel Jotham, draper. The mayor also appointed Mr. William Alexander Bradley, one of the town-council, as his auditor, pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Corporation Act, HURDLE RACE.—Our sporting readers will perceive, by advertisement, that another treat in store for them Oil the 27th instant; and we can only hope, that the weather may prove as propitious as on the former occasion, and the amusement. as free from accident. NLW OMNIBus.-In addition to the various conveniences already in use for conveying passengers and luggage tq and frdtft Swansen, there has lately been added ♦* The Queen," which performs three journeys to Swansea ana back every week. The faies being only 5s. will afford a cheap oppor- tunity to visit Swansea during the forthcoming summer.— (See Advertisement.) Our readers will probably recollect the account of a rob- bery at Mr. Hooper's counting-house, which appeared in this journal of the 18th ult. we have now much pleasure in stating that the whole of the property has been recovered. It was found concealed in various places in the sand of the ballast bank. near the premises, and not an article missing. CARDIFF.—The Bishop of St. David's passed through this town on Wednesday last, on his way to Abergwilly. We are rejoiced to see that his lordship is strongly opposed to the union of the Sees of St. Asaph and Bangor. The Conservative majority in the House of Commons gradually gains fresh strength. The elections for the county Monaghan and Bodmin have virtually added four to the ministerial ranks. In Ireland-once the Liberal stronghold —the Liberals have shown no sign." BURGLARY.—The premises of Mr. R. Thomas, of St. Mary's-street, were entered on Thursday night, or early this morning, and several copper kettles, candlesticks, and nume- rous other articles stolen. Information was early forwarded to the police station. A person has been apprehended, and the whole of the stolen property discovered, which is now in the hands of the police. TAFF VALE RAILWAY.—In addition to the full report of the half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders of the above railway, in our last. we now give the following resolu- tion which we then omitted —" The board of directors having taken into their most serious consideration the report of the committee, to which was referred the examination of Fowler's accounts, and how far the secretary (Mr. Burgess) had any concern with the matter Involved in them, and also Mr. Bu,gess's reply to such report, together with Mr.; Burgess's letter, dated 6th Feb. 1843, upon the same subject and having also considered fully the report of Mr. Brunei upon Mr. Fowler's contract, and upon the present state of the permanent way and works, have reluctantly felt com- pelled to come to the unanimous resolution that the contract made with Messrs. Fowler, under the advice of the secretary, Mr. Burgess, was most disadvantageous to the interest of the railway company that the extra works performed by the Messrs. Fowler, were paid for at a most extravagant rate, and that part of the extra work so paid for was included in Messrs. Fowler's contract for the permanent way, and that several expenses, have been incurred without the sanction of the board they therefore have arrived at the painful con- clusion that the confidence which, for the interest of the company ought to be maintained between the directors and the secretary, has ceased to exist, and that the connexion between Mr. Burgess and the company cannot be continued satisfactorily to either party. CARDIFF POLICE,—MONDAY, FEB. 22. [Before the Mayor and James Lewis, Esq.] Edward Pound, a plaisterer, appeared to answer a sum- uuuu obtained against him by Richard Perkins, from whose evidence it appears that the quarrel had been of long standing, and on each party occasionally meeting in the streets, mutual abuse of each other took place. A witness, named Wm. Summers, said that he saw Pound collar com- plainant three times, and wanted to fight, which com- plainant declined, on Wednesday evening last. It appears that on the evening in question, Perkins, waxing exceedingly pugnacious, challenged Pound to fight, which was agreed to, but on the way the challenger's courage began to abate, and he wished to declare off, whereupon Edward Pound, committed the assault complained of. Defendant said he was provoked by the complainant, who first proposed fight- ing. There were witnesses who proved seeing the assault committed. The magistrates fined Pound the low sum of Is. and costs, or go to the House of Correction for 14 days. John Phillips, of the Richard's Arms" beer-house, in Whitmore-lane, was charged with keeping his house open after hours. It appears from the evidences of P. C. Geo. Davies, and T. Davies, that on Monday night, the 20th of February, they were on their beat between 12 and 1 o'clock, and they saw persons going in and out of the bouse; there was music and dancing there. It appears that a supper was held at the house on the evening in question. Phillips was ordered to pay 10s. and costs, for keeping the house open at illegal hours. Joseph Hilton and Thomas Jenkins, young lads, who had been before the magistrates several times before, charged with begging, were again placed at the bar for a similar offence. The prisoners had, it appears, been previously re- lieved and found work, but they soon discovered that the alms-seeking line' was far more congenial to their feelings thnn manual labour. P.C. George Davies proved that they had no fixed lodging or place of residence, but that they were in the habit of sleeping by limekilns. Mr. Superintendent Stockdale said the prisoner Hilton had not been long out of gaol, having been convicted in January last for one month. The magistrates committed Hilton to gaol for three months, and hard labour, and Jenkins for one month and hard labour Ellen Gayney was charged with stealing coals, the pro- perty of Thomas Powell, Esq. Mr. Clapp, an agent of Mr. Powell, appeared to prosecute. The first witness called was William Jones, of Bute Terrace, who stated that he saw the prisoner pick up the coals from below the jetty-head, at Mr. Powell's wharf. The coals fell oyer the jetty on the river- bank during the time the vessels were loading.' The witness produced the coal, and said there were about six or eight pounds' weight. Thomas James, the superintendent at the wharf, said that the coals were so frequently being stolen, that he was directed to prosecute. The prisoner, a miserable object of humanity, denied stealing the coals, and with tears coursing one another down her* wan features, said her hus- band had left her, with three children, and that she was, unfortunately, left destitute. She was, however, committed.

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.—The recent publication of the Sanatory Report of the Poor-law Commissioners is likely to lead to some practical result. On the 13th ult., in answer to a question from the Earl of Clarendon, as to whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce a General Drainage Bill in the present Sessioti, the Earl of Ripon said, that some measure would be intro- duced with reference to the building of houses and the drainage and sewerage of the city of London. With respect to the general question, as to regulations that should be uniformly adopted in towns throughout the country, it was intended to appoint a Commission to inquire into the subject, because great difference of opinion prevailed amongst prac- tical men as to what ought to be done.

The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England, held a meeting on Tuesday, at the office in Whitehall-place. There were present the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Bishopof Bangor, the Bishop of Chichester, the Bishop of Hereford, the Bishop of Ltandaff, the Bishop of Rochester, the Lord President of the Council. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Dean of Westminster, the Earl of Devon, the Earl of Chichester, the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, and the Right Hon. John Nicholl, D.C.L. REMARKABLE CIRCUMSTANCE. Upon opening a sheep belonging to Mr. John Martin, of Shrewsbury, last week, there were found four large lumps of fat unattached to the intestines by any ligature or sinew. The largest weighed above six pounds and a half,, and the whole more than 14 lbs. and a half. In a few hours the fat congealed into hard1 suet, and on the largest lump beijtig severed, it was found quite solid. The interior of the animal was perfectly healthy, with the usual quantity of fat about the loins and kidneys. The circumstance exceeds anything in the annals of the oldest butcher in Shrewsbury. THE LATE GENERAL LORD EDWARD SOMERSET G.C.B. —Our attention has been called to a report that a public monument is intended to be raised over the remains of the late Lord Edward Somerset, in the Beaufort Chapel; at the west entrance of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and we htsve the satisfaction of stating that a similar testimony of respect is obout to be erected by the Duke of Beaufort, in Badminton Chapel, to commemorate the military services and private worth of his noble relative. Mr. Evan Thomas, F.S.A. has been employed by his igrace to execute the work,i and it cannot be doubted that the design will be felicitously carried out by this rising sculptor. We have also great pleasure in noticing a beautifully-firiished monument, by the same artist, to the memory of the Lady Frances Somerset, recently put up in Badminton Chapel.

MERTHYR.
MERTHYR. Trade is exceedingly dull here still in consequence of the depressed state of the iron-market. The hon. member for Brecknockshire justly remarked in his place in the House of Commons these several years since, that the agricultural produce of Carmarthenshire, Cardiganshire, and even Pem- brokeshire, found a ready market at Merthyr when the iron trade was flourishing; whilst last week, to our knowledge, a'butter merchant failed to get customers for the contents of his casks at the low price of 8d. per lb. The streets in general are in a capital state of repair, which reflects great credit on the surveyors but Victoria- street is a reproach to her Majesty. Let its name be changed to that of Filthiana-street, until properly repaired. Situated as it is by our splendid market-house, and being a direct communication from High-street to Bridge-street, the densely populated side west of the Taff-Aberdare and H invaiwe are at a loss to know why it is kept in such an ankle, if not knee-deep, muddy state. It i$to be re- t gretted that the streets in Caedraw, and from Jackson's Bridge to Caepanttywyll, William Town, &c., are not in much better condition. Hitherto, these, it seems, are pmate 1 streets, though of great public use and the inhabitants will, I long, undoubtedly, set their wits to work to have them efficiently repaired.

Such is the boasted liberty of Brother Jonathan. jy:. TEA PARTY.—At Horeb Independent chapel^ about midway between this town (Merthyr) and DowlalT, a,feting took place on Monday aftehioon last. About 1506 cards, .atone shilling each, were." sold, the jprofits of which are applied to liquidate the debt of the chapel, which is alflost a new one. The minister, the Rev. Joshua TbOin'nd the church under his care, were quite cheered to see sucji a company of visitors from all sects and parties in the town and neighbourhood. The company was well pleased with the tea and cake, &c. Brief addresses were given at the close by Messrs. John Williams and William Morris, of I Caepanttywyll, and the Rev. Benjamin Owen, of Zoar chapel.

We have reason to rejoice, that employment for so many workmen fbr'to'idng a period, has been thus secured. MERTHYR TYDVI'L.-On Friday, the 24th ult., Lord James Stuart presented a petition to the House of Commons, for leave to bring in a bill for the appointment of a Stipendiary Magistrate for this town and the district adjoining. MALLEABLE IRON FROM HEMATITE ORE. INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS FEB. 21. (The President in the chair.) At the commencement of the meeting his Grace the Duke of Beccleuch was presented on his election as an honorary member. The discussion was renewed upon Mr. Clay's procest of making malleable iron at one process from hematite ore. It was shown, that of the twenty-five thousand tons of steel j made annually in this country, not more than two thousand five hundred tons was made from the best quality of Swedish iron, the rest was made from inferior charcoal iron from j Russia and Germany, or. from English iron, which was not well calculated for converting it; it was therefore highly I desirable to encourage Mr. Clay's process, which, if as suc- cessful as was stated, was calculated to emancipate Great Britain for being tributary for steel-iron to foreign countries, and enable her to use the indigenous produce of her own rich and comparatively unworked mines of hematite ore in. I Lancashire, Devon, and Cornwall. The superior quality of the Indian iron for making steel was treated of at great length, the yet undeveloped resources of that great country j only requiring to be better known in order to induce a proper appreciation of them. j TUESDAY, FEB. 21.

Ann Tew, married woman, Merthyr, was charged by Ann t Jones of the same place, also married woman, with assault- ing her on the 18th ult. complaint dismissed, parties ordered to pay costs between them. The above defendant was also charged by Margaret Thomas with an assault on her person, on the same day. In this case also, the parties were ordered to pay expences between them. William Thomas, Merthyr, was charged by his stepfather, Michael Fitzgibbon, with assaulting him on the 13th ult. Defendant did not deny the charge, but stated that the assault complained of, was committed whilst complainant was in the act of illusing defendants' mother, which state- ment was fully borne out by the testimony of the old woman herself; case dismissed, and complainant ordered to pay cost. Isaiah Edmunds, miner, was charged by Ann Llewelyn, with assaulting her on the 19th ult.; case dismissed, and complainant ordered to pay half the costs. Stephan Falator, Merthyr, was charged by John Jones, Dowlais, with stealing a shovel, value 3s. 6d., the property of complainant, on the preceeding Monday. In this case it was proved in evidence, that the shovel in question had been in the possession of the defendant six weeks previous to the charge being made against him, and about the same time prior to the shovel being lost, and was proved to be the bona fide property of the defendant; the complaint was therefore' dismissed, and the complainant ordered to pay the expences of the hearing.

SWANSEA. The Assizes Ball was held on Thursday night, at the Assembly Room, under the patronage of the High Sheriff,, J. Homfray, Esq. It was numerously and fashionably attended. The festivity of the scene was enhanced by tha urbanity and assiduity of the stewards, who exerted them- selves to give brilliancy to an entertainment, which every thing conspired to render.one of the most attractive in the season. ASSIZES ENTERTAI^'MEWI'.—The only ~th<ng ^servine of the name in town are the Wax works of Mr. Major, now exhibiting at the Assembly Rooms. Very many however visited them and pronounced them excefleiit. As the, spectator enters he is struck with the beauty of various groups, and conscious that he is intruding ou the gaieties of a court scene. He unreluctantly retires a step until he is reassured by the touching stillness of the figures, and the free and easy manner in which ladies and gentlemen from the mountains flit about them. On a Dais as you enter a very distinguished group is seen. The Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel, are confronted by the beauteous and lamented Lady Flora Hastings, the Duchess of Kent, and the fascinating Duchess of Sutherland. At the head of the group, not more distinguished for her imposing presence than the fascination and queenly repose which the artist has thrown around her, stands Queen Victoria. She looks every inch a queen. Her train which floats in all the am- plitude of ermine folds, is supported by two figures at the side of one of whom the boy Jones, of Palace intrusion notoriety, lis couching apparently listening to some state secrets. The extreme beauty of this group is not a little en- hanced by that distinctive attribute of this presence chamber," which cliaraterized the group repose. The Prince of Wales and the young Princess, with their nurses, are in another part of the room. The nurse is a sweet creation, and her countenance is redolent of the nursing mother, and the tenderness which breathes in it for her precious charge. The little prince is romping on her knee, and by the variety and vigour of his antics would appear to insist on being his own master. Grace Darling, too, is seen, just as she merges from the waves, into which her heroic humanity had led her. The paleness of exhaust on overshadows her fine countenance, but in despile of it there appears a flush of triumph for having rescued the object of her noble struggle. Pitt and Fox occupy another pedestal. The faces are strongly marked with the peculiarities which distinguished them, and are full of character. So is Bernatd Cavannagh, only that he is plumper and better dressed than when last at Bow-street. The other characters, which we have not space to enumerate, are good, and would repay a visit. An excellent band is in attendance, and elivens the whole. PORT TALBOT, Feb. 22.-The Swan, Davies, from Cardiff to Swansea, is ashore off Newton Burrows, and expected to beeome a wreck.
