Pront 229, Strand, Frimlry, near Ragslfot, Surrey, FdHuary l4-th. 181-2. CJIR—Having suffered much f/f% k"} from acute Rheumatism, ll' filly 1 was induced ttv try your Blair's ""S- Pills. and beg to bear my humble   testimony to their efncacy, not     own case, but in several of my friends who have taken them on my recommenda tion. I am, Sir, your obliged, JOHN GILES. The never-failing effects of Blaii's Gout and Hheumatic Pills, curing every description of Gout or B helllllatism, has secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give rdief in a few hours, where the patient has been driven nearly to madness by excruciating tor- tures, but restore to perfect health in an inconceivably shott space of time. See Testimonials of Lieut. Masters (of Hawley, near Bagshot), late at the Royal Newfoundland Veteran Companies, who was invalided home by a garrison order; the Rev. Dr. Blom- herg the Chevalier de la Garde; Mr. Miskin, Dartford; Mrs. Chambers, Maidstone, &c., &c., which demonstrate this prepa- ration to be one of the greatest discoveries in Medicine. They are equally speedy and certain in Rheumatism, either chronic or acute, lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head and face, and indeed for every rheumatic or gouty affection in fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it, and there is not a city, town, or village in the kingdom, hut contains many grateful evidences of the benign influence of this medicine. The efficacy of Blair's Gout and Hheumatic Pills is unparalleled for I the foregoing diseases, and it must be consolatory to the afflicts d with Gout to be assured that it possesses the property of prevent ing the disease flying to the stomach, brain, or other vital part. Sold by Thomas Piout, 229, Strand, London; and by his ap- pointment by Mr. T. Stephens, druggist, Merthyr fydvil Mr. Phillips, Cardiff; Mr. Farror, Monmouth Mr. Williams, Brecon; Mr. Williams, Newport and all respectable Medicine Venders throughout the united Kingdom.

AN ANTE-DILUVIAN TOAD.-Oil Saturday week, while some workmen were employed at their avocation in Boag Quarry, near Stevenston, they, on breaking up a piece of rock, found a toad imbedded in the mass. On being re- leased from its prison-house, it lay motionless for several minutes, but eventually became animated, and at present is quite lively. It is very large, and somewhat dffierent in appearance from the common toad. The curious may see it, in the possession of Mr. William Logan, Steveustou.-Avr Advertiser« NOTICES, &c.

FACTORIES' BILL.-EDUCATION. To the Editor of the Advertiser and Guardian. SIR,-I am induced to trouble you with a few remarks, from having attended a meeting in this town, convened for the purpose of getting up a petition to oppose the Factories' Bill; when several persons spoke of it in very harsh terms. My object is te defend the Bill, as a whole, leaving to others the task of-replying to speeches characterised more by noisy declamation, than by clear ideas, or continuity of thought. One speaker (Rev. E. Griffith), though he had not read the Bill, did not scruple to designate it a daring infringement of civil and religious liberty! Others, after stating that the preceding speakers had entered so fully into the subject, that it was not necessary for them to follow in the same track, concluded by informing the audience, that they had said enough, and it would be better for them to say no more the truth of which none appeared disposed to deny. Notwithstanding their being (with one exception) all ministers of the Gospel, the grossest misrepresentations were indulged in, which could only have arisen from wilful igno- rance, or axtotaI disregard of moral rectitude. This letter, ad- dressed to the thinking public, will be branched into three principal heads:—Ought government to interfere in the educa- tion of the people? Who are to teach 1 and what is to be taught? In almost all; indeed, in all European countries, with only two exceptions (one of which is England), the question has been asked: Ought the government to interfere in the education of the people and in the majority has been answered in the affirmative, by the adoption of national education, the management of which is, ultimately, vested in the sovereign. It is needless for me to enter into an examination of the continental systems of instruction it suffices for my purpose, that they are considered to be fit models for adoption in England. The reasons upon which they were founded, and by which they are supported, are what more immediately concern us. The idea of society, necessarily implies a state of being, where general advan- tages requite concessions of individual independence and as the interest of a whole society is binding upon every part, it follows, that the partial loss of a profitless independence, is only a lesser evil attending a greater benefit. It is a practical illustration of the Scriptute precept, Love thv neighbour as thyself," to bring mankind to a knowledge of the great end of human existence. Where the legitimate idea of society is carried out, it teaches us an important lesson, that self-love and social" being the same, is not the fiction of a poet's brain, but an actual, and interesting fact, connected with the history, and development of human nature. He who considers man born to live in, by, and for himself, sets aside his noblest aspirations. Man was born for something better than mere personal existence he was not destined to be wrapped up in, or to make all things subservient to, his own individuality but to form a part of an extensive whole, who live for him, and he for them. The human faculties have, for ages, been devising means to draw more closely these bonds of mutuatadvantagets and their efforts, in all ages, have had obstacles almost insur- mountable to contend against. Commerce at the present time forms the principal one its ultimate tendency will be to level all distinctions save those of merit; but in its inter- mediate stages it calls out and gratifies the worst passions of human nature and to this cause must the extreme selfish- ness of the age be attributed. What measure more eminently adapted to unite the contending elements, composing civil- ised life, and call forth those generous sentiments which do so much honour to mankind, but which selfishness must always paralyse; than an enlightened and extensive system of national education? Such are the principles by which continental governments were guided such the tendencies which the systems of education they have adopted, are cal- culated to promote. The principal fault of the German schools is, that they exercise too strict a censorship over political sentiments, in which practice the Dissenters would willingly follow them, but only with respect to religion. In both cases it is a pardonable though an useless exercise of power. It is useless, because in spite of every obstacle, mental aspirations always have been, are, and will be pro- gressive. They may hinder but can never, effectually, deter the march of intelligence. The Rev. Thomas Davies desig- nated as tyrannical the compulsion of boys to attend the schools! How threadbare must the cause have been worn, that these intolerant bigots should have been obligated to assume their real colours, that of the greatest enemies of education, the promoters of moral and intellectual decay, the advocates and patrons of barbarism To teach children is to exercise tvraiiiiv However accordant these sentiments may be with his wishes, they are totally at variance with the best feelings of generous and intelligent men; and if he adopts Watts's standard for the admeasurement of his im- material man,— I would be measured by my soul, The mind's the standard of the rnan.IVATTS. it were but a fitting compliment to the doctor's memory to conform more rigidly to his logic. Were the compulsion of children to attend the schools of no benefit to the children themselves, it is a measure which society demands, and a mild restraint, the power to exercise which is granted to the gov- ernment, by the conditions of civil liberty and any measure, though it may inconvenience a few, which has for its object the good of many, cannot be a breach of either civil or reli- gious liberty. The human mind will receive a good or evil tendency, in accordance with the external impressions which it comes in contact with, and the associations which it forms; it is, therefore, a duty on the part of the government, who have the care of the rising generation entrusted to them, to provide a liberal and sound education and to observe, that the positive sensations with which they may become im- pressed, shall have a tendency to elevate and refine the mind. The Rev. E. Griffith designated that clause as a breach of civil liberty, which enacts, that no master shall employ un- educated children, alleging that it had a tendency to put out of work those who were not. Were evidence needed of the motives of the Dissenters, we have here proof sufficient the cloven foot protrudes from beneath the cloak, and displays a hideous web of selfishness and hypocrisy. Are these men most solicitous to protect their own interests, or those of the education of the labouring poor ? The government is deeply imbued with the importance of general education, and is justified in adopting these measures. To allow masters to employ whom they please, educated or uneducated, were to nullify all the intentions of ministers, to 'promote vice, ignorance, and crime. But it is impossible for any master to employ an uneducated youth, for if all the children attend school, as they must, it is evident, that that portion of them who may be employed, must be attendants at some place of instruction. These most obsequious slaves of Lord John Russell have the arrogance to rail at tyranny, tyranny which themselves support. What will not these men do when their pecuniary interests are at stake ? "N here were the Dissenters during the whole period of Whig misrule ? Neither abject poverty nor deplorable ignorance had power to move them then but all was viewed with stoical indifference, and as long as it served the Whig interest that they should be so, they were religious teachers, it being no part of their calling to interfere in politics. Disgraceful dissimulation! Soon as a change of ministry took place, at the beck of the Whig leader, they start into life, a new light dawns on them, and they discover that politics and not religion is their proper vocation. Heaven forbid that the Dissenters should ever become the dominant party- Who are to teach' By the bill, the seleetion of' teachers is vested in a committee of seven—the clergyman, two churchwardens, and four others two of whom shall be millowners. It frequently happens that one churchwarden is a Dissenter, and the majority of millowners are Dissenters also (Sir R. H. Inglis), so that the power is nearly equally divided. The inspectors are altogether independent of church control (Sir J. Graham). It is the duty of a govern- ment to see that the teachers of youth are fully competent, and the Bishop of the Diocese possesses no other power than to see that such is the case (see debate and bill). Who shall be teachers? There is no college for the instruction of teachers; the choice, therefore, is between clergymen and preachers. Who are the most competent teachers 1 There are but very few Dissenting ministers who are possessed of the slightest share of liberal knowledge. Cooped up in petty jealousies and cramped views, they are incapable of con- ceiving themselves, or conveying to others, ought that is above the narrow sphere of their thoughts and actions. Far from being able to unfold to the youthful mind the beauties of the material world, and immutable laws by which it is governed, these grovelling followers of benighted leaders would confine it to the quagmire of useless subtle- ties and antique prejudices in which they are themselves so deeply sunk. As reasonable is it to expect a rustic to lecture upon the motions of the spheres, as that these men can teach what they never either conceived or understood. If the stupid speeches on Friday last are to be taken as specimens of their knowledge, the wilful perversion of truth, of their morality, the people will have cause to thank the beueficeat government, Tyhich bag eared tbeii childrea I from the fangs of beings so ignorant and unprincipled. I lav the more stress upon scientific attainments, as no system of education will be thought such -without their forming a principal part. e Look, on the other hand, to the Church. It was the ori- ginator, and is the supporter of the State. It was the protec- ter and is the promoter of learning. In past ages it was the parent, in the present it is the enlightened patron of liberal knowledge, numbering in its ranks the greatest scholars. purest moralists, and most rigidly pious men of the ape • what wiser measure could the able ministers of a great nation adopt, than employ the efficient machinery thus placed at their disposal 1 r One speaker (Rev. T. Davies) stated that the Bible does not countenance such an anomaly as Church and State. 1 hose^portions of the Scriptures which relate the history or describe the laws, customs, and institutions of the Jewish people can be no criterion. They hate no affinity with the institutions of a people whose character is essentially differ- ent. n ould that these gentlemen were to read the Scriptures as they ought, and not through spectacles where every ex- hortation to unite in brotherly love excites rampant dissent: every brook generates ideas of immersion; they would then find, that the Levitical priesthood stood in the same relation to the democracy which Moses had instituted, as the Church in England does to the State. How fruitless are their efforts to conceal their real motives for this opposition. Those are political, neither religious nor educational. Some years ago a cry was got up for the liberty to celebrate marriages. They, in order to get power, repudiated church practices and ceremonies (as they termed them) as idolatrous, and church principles as errors, but having obtained their wishes, the repugnance with which they had viewed the principles and practices of the church is forgotten, and they now adopt similar usages to those which had previously been reprobated. Short-sighted mortals! In their avidity for power they seem to have forgotten, that the repulsive aspect in which the practices of others was represented, is in no wise mitigated by their own adoption of them. Men are not to be so easily hoodwinked ;—they will look more to the conduct than to the professions of their ministers. The Dissenters are utterly careless as to the education of the labouring classes and they oppose the bill, not from any feeling that the interests of education are at stake, but, knowing the people's avidity for knowledge, they have seized upon this fertile topic to excite popular alarm, which though groundless in itself, yet furthers their purpose, to aggrandize themselves at the expense of popular infatua- tion. When their real motives are generally known, as they soon will be, their conduct will justly be thought insincere, and their professions estimated at their real value. This bill is the greatest boon which has been offered to the country for many years. There is not a doubt but it will, pass, yet am I anxious to have it understood, that we are not to receive with sullen countenances, on account of trifling imperfec- tions, a measure from which benefits inconceivable will result. The discussion of what is to be taught must be postponed to my next. I will conclude by observing, that on no occasion was I more impressed with the necessity for education than at this meeting, where the silliest portions of wretched speeches were those which met with applause; when one speaker pa- thetically illustrated his argument with a box of Parr's Pills, (to be had at Mr. White's, he said,) I could have wished them to have effected a thorough regeneration in him, have pointed his obtuse faculties, and convinced him that he was attempting to enact the mountebank, without having learned his part. Future ages will admire the genius who could dwindle the discussion of so important a subject as education into a dissertation upon quackery cities will contend for the honour of having been his birthplace and his memory will be treasured up as the Homer or the Erasmus of the nineteenth century. Yours, &c., Dowlais, April 5, 1843. CLERICUS. .##### To the Editor of the Advertiser and Guardian. SIR,-Being the successful competitor on the praise- worthy subject offered by Mr. T. Evans, at the last Dowlais Cymreigyddion Society, I cannot but be affected by the wholesale insinuations of Delta Gawr." To the adjudi- cator I am a perfect stranger. With the Society I had no connection. Permit me, therefore, to rebut these charges as far as I am concerned, and demand of D. G." either to retract or prove his assertion. If D. G." has been unsuccessful on the same subject I have no objection to submit my Essay to the decision of a classic" of his own selection, and the prize will be refunded. To assert that Mr. Davies, (Brychan), was selected by the Society for an improper purpose, is both absurd and unjust, for the office, it appears, had been declined by two other persons previously. Waiting for D. G.'s" retraction, with his proper name affixed thereto. I remain, Sir, yours obediently, J. REES, (CEEADVK.) Penydarran, March 22d, 1843. To the Editor of the Advertiser and Guardian. SIR, An Old Roller" once more intrudes on your kindness in begging you to insert this letter in your valuable paper, by doing which, you will allow him the opportunity of proving that the statement he gave in his former letter of the bars rolled at Dowlais and Cyfarthfa was correct, and that he was not led away from the truth by partiality as the Penydarran Operative" would wish you to believe. My only reason for troubling you with my first letter was in consequence of having seen in your paper the account of the Dowlais bar, which was so given that every one who read it might have taken for granted, that it had been fairly rolled from a pile, as bars usually are, and not previously worked into a bloom under the hammer, which every one knows (who has the slightest knowledge of the process of manufacturing bar iron) makes all the difference in the difficulty of rolling such bars. I will now give you the true account of both bars, which I have obtained through the kindness of some of those per- sons engaged in the working of them. First-The Dowlais pile, which the I- Penydarran Operative" makes to weigh 31801bs. is not correct, for it was not weighed at all, conse- quently his statement must have been guess work. Se- condly—This pile was heated and worked under the hammer five different heats until it was hammered into a solid bloom of about 9 inch. dia., it was then reheated and put into the rolls which reduced it to 8 in. bare dia., and 14 feet 1 in. long. Tliirdlv-As to its strnightnese any otic could hare satisfied himself on that point, as it lay for five weeks after it was made on their mill floor, and, in the opinion of those who saw it, twenty-five forge smiths" M-ould make but a very poor impression upon the slight curvature as described by the Penydarran Operative." Knowing this, and also that a bar 6¡ in. dia., 25 feet 3 in. long, was rolled at Cyfarthfa in the usual way, viz., passing through the roughing and finishing rolls in one heat fairly from the pile, induced me to lay before your readers a true account of the manner in which they were made, and also to shew that the Dowlais Co., had not performed so very great an exploit, or anything more than their neighbours could do, as they would wish the public to believe. I presume the" Penydarran Operative," wrote with a Paddy'spen," which enabled him to draw such a beauti- ful line for the Cyfarthfa bar. It was rolled on Saturday evening, the 25th ult., and the thousands who came to see it from the neighbouring work, from six o'clock the next morning until dark, pronounced it to be as straight and as beautiful a bar, in every respect, as could be seen. Allowing him to be correct in the weight and dimensions of the Dowlais bar, it will be at once seen, by observing the following, how far he is correct in the Cyfarthfa bar. A bar of iron 8¡ inches diameter, and 14 feet long, con- tains 5.19 cubic feet. Divide 2594 lbs., (his own weight of the Dowlais bar) by 5.19, and you have 499.8 lbs. the weight of a cubic foot of iron, consequently, a bar of iron 6 in. diameter, and 25 feet 3 in long, (the accurate dimensions of the Cyfarthfa bar) contains 5.3 cubic feet, which multi- plied by 499.8 lbs., will give 2649 lbs., the weight of the bar made at Cyfarthfa, which, according to the Penydarran Operative's" own account is 55 lbs. heavier than the Dowlais bar. The above shews what a strong adherent he is to your excellent motto Truth against the world," which he, doubtless, finds easier to quote than practice. Had he taken the trouble to inquire, he would have found that one bar only of 6 inch. bolt, 14 feet long, was made at Dowlais, and not 30 tons of 6 inch bolts, varying from 15 to 18 feet long, as stated by him. I wTill also add, that I have no doubt the Cyfarthfa folks" can vie with their neighbours in manufacturing bars^ but in throwing the sledge," they have not the slightest chance. Apologizing for trespassing so long on your columns, and thanking you for your former kindness. I am Sir, yours respectfully, AN OLD ROLLER. Tjdvil's Well, March 29th, 1843,
