[FOR THE GUAKOIA5."] THE DOOM OF THE TRAITOR. Hcgcnlr of Caitrtff Cajertle. [Cardiff Castle was besieged by Oliver Cromwell in person for three days. On the night of the last day, it was taken by means of the stratagem alluded to in the following]:— i. How fancy to the se recalls, "Whilst gazing on these ancient walls, Where ruin note the eye surveys, The scenes of long, departed daJ8! The Olden Time, when bower and Hall, Rang with the shouts of festival; Or when in sultry noon, "Within the cool and verdant shade, By overarching branches made, Minstrel's or Maiden's footstep strayed, Beneath the blue of June! Oft-times when 'neath yon Donjon gray, The brother of a monarch lay, Sighing his dreary years away Warrior and Prisoner, shield and spear, Are numbered all with things that were; And in yon roofless magazine, Wild flowers and tangled boughs are seen The crow, the daw, the owl have made Their nests within its hoary shade, And but their flapping wings, Disturbs the stillness of the place, Where struggled once a warlike race, In bloody strife of kings u. Peace with her halcyon pinions broods O'er these delicious solitudes The daisy decks the dewy sod, Where the mailed heels of warriors trod Wall-flowers and stately trees abound Where the grim warder took his round And oft a deep-toned challenge sent, From bridge and moat and battlement! Here, where upsprings the primrose pale, Let's weave from history a rhyme A strange, true legendary tale- Of Cardiff in the Olden Time. III. Long since in dark and troubled days, Wild war lit up his awful brand, And threw its red, unnatural blaze O'er this devoted land! Then brother warred against his brother, Then sons against their sires arose, And Britain, like some maddened mother, Found in her children, foes Then the loud shout of cavalier, Or Roundhead's war-cry smote tha air; And happy homes in dust were laid, And British blood defiled the blade, Forced upon British ground— Then from his throne a king was driven, And in the name of God and Heaven, The state's strong cords unbound 'Twas then 'neath this old castle gray, A stem, beleaguering army lay And cries of fierce defiance rose, On either side, from mortal foes. IV. From the Roundhead camp the cry upwent, For the Lord of Hosts, or the Parliament!' And long-drawn hymns and sounds of prayer, Rose on the Morning and Evening air— But on CardifPg turrets and rampart's high, God and King Charles was the loyalist cry! Twice the glowing sun arose, Lighting to strive the eager foes; Twice the golden orb bent down, Behind the mountains bare and brown \— His earliest and latest beams were shed, Upon the wounded, dying, and dead- On Castled height lay some Cavalier Smiling defiance in death And the Roundhead below, with brow severe, And grasping bible and bloody spear, Yielded his fanatic breath. v. 'Tis midnight—through the Parliament Camp, Is only heard the measured tramp Of the sentinel, as to and fro He paces with footsteps heavy and slow And who, if assailed by ghostly qualms, Quotes through his nose from the hymns or psalms; Who goes there V is his sudden cry, A friend,' the word V but no reply Comes from th' intruder, who, upright, Fearlessly stands in the pale moonlight; And his armour and plumed cap declare That he comes from the ranks of the cavalier. VI. 4 Bring the Deserter!' Cromwell cried, Now, Caitiff, say'st thou thou wilt show God's chosen soldiers, undescried, This subterranean path below The river's bed, and lead us straight Within yon Castle's stubborn gate I will, but my reward 1' a smile Curled Cromwell's lip, I'll use no guile,' He answered, do thy work, and I Swear that thy guerdon shall be high- Aye higher shalt thou be than all Who yonder keep loud festival; Fools their .stronghold, to-morrow's sun Shall see a mighty victory won, By the sword of the Lord and of Gideon!' VII. Cardiff Castle's baronial Hall Is lighted as if for a festival; The shouts of war and of wild affray, Died with the sun's declining ray Many a doughty cavalier, Has laid aside the sword and spear; Many a flagon is drained, and the sound Of martial song, or of jest goes round- Roof-tree a.nd rafter ring As curses they vent on the Roundhead crew, And toss off their bumpers with honours due To the name of their Lord and King. VIII. ■ Along a caverned way which led Under the river's rocky bed, Guided by treachery—silently sped The troops—a secret door was unbarred, And vain was the watch of the Castle guard, The Roundheads filled the inmost yard When the dawn of the coming morn appeared, Loud shouts of victory were heard And the Parliament banners that waved on the wall Of Cardiff Castle, declared its fall! IX. With arms reversed, and footsteps slow, I rom the conquered fortress the garrison go — And within the castle yard, And along the Parliament ranks doth come To the gloomy sound of a muffled drum, A Prisoner and his guard Ha 'tis the soldier who yesterday Led Cromwell's troops through the secret way; He comes for his Reward! Traitor! prepare,' with brow of gloom, Stern Cromwell said to meet thy doom I used thee but as an instrument, By Him' I serve, to his chosen, sent;—• The topmost bough of yonder tree, The high and fit reward shall be Such, Traitor, as I promised thec- And thy reptile life shall close A warning unto friends and foes.' x. And ere another hour had past, The soldier swung in the morning blast; And Cromwell's voice of thunder rolled Along his follower's ranks, Behold A Traitor's fate—I gained the prize, But such vile Caitiff tools despise Gaze on him as he swings on high, For all who dare like treachery, As the Lord lives, such death shall die."

BACHELORS.—The word bachelor has been commonly derived from bas chevalier, in opposition to banneret. But this, however plausible, is unlikely to be right. We do not find any authority for the expression bas ehevalier, nor any equivalent in Latin, baccalaureus certainly not suggesting that sense; and it is strange that the corruption should obliterate every trace of the original term. Bachelor is a very old word, and is used in early French poetry for a young man, as bachelette is for a girl. So also in Chaucer :— A young squire, A lover, and a lusty bachelor." LEARNED WOMEN.—In a word, WE laugh at and in our hearts despise, learned women, because their learning is generally ridiculously worthless, or most absurdly employed but in France learned women are respected and admired, because their learning is learning—laboriously gained and also wisely employed.—Correspondent of the Edinburgh Weekly Register. ARGUMENTATIVE. —The Vermont Mercury" has the following excellent defence lately made to an action by a down-east lawyer:—" There are three points in the cause, -may it please your honour," said the defendant's counsel. In the first place, we contend that the kettle was cracked when we borrowed it; secondly, that it was whole when we returned it; and, thirdly, that we never had it." No man is so foolish but he may give another good counsel sometimes and no man is so wise but he may easily err, if he will take no other's counsel but his own .Ben Johnson. Emulation looks out for merits, that she may exalt herself by a victory Envy spies out blemishes, that she may lower another by defeat. — Cotton. To EXTINGUISH A FIRE.—Doctor Clanny says, that a solution of live ounces of muriate of ammonia, in one gallon of water, will instantly extinguish a large tire. RAILROADS.—They are talking abroad of making glass rails, and running wooden wheels on them. THE CANDID MENDICANT. — Monsieur —, a wealthy banker and a deputy, was lately crossing the Place Louis XV., Paris, when he was accosted by a sturdy beggar in the full vigour of health and manhood, with 'Charity, if you please, good sir; charity, if you please." The gentleman dipped his hand into his pocket for a few sous, when the stalwart appearance of the man caught his eye. What! a man like you demand charity—strong, healthy, in the very prime of life go and work as you ought to do; you don't want charity!" Yes, yes, I do, sir I do, indeed," said the beggar I am so very idle This naif avowal could not be resisted the lazy scoundrel received the money that would have been better appropriated to some really meri- torious individual.
MARTIN CHUZZLEVVIT FOR JULY.
MARTIN CHUZZLEVVIT FOR JULY. The present number opens with the landing of Martin and his servant Tapley—a counterpart, bye the bye, of the facetious Samivel Weller—at New York. Here Boz ab- solutely luxuriates in his description of Brother Jonothan, whose peculiarities he gives in his happiest style. The good ship Screw in which he sails is, on touching the shore, boarded by hundreds of news venders, who fairly stun him with their recommendatory eloquence in praise of the broad sheet which they respectively patronised.

Here's some of the twelfth thousand of to- day's Sewer, with the best accounts of the markets, and all the shipping news, and four whole columns of country cor- respondence, and a full account of the ball at Mrs. White's last night, where all the beauty and fashion of New York was assembled, with the Sewer's own particulars of the private lives of all the ladies that was there Here's the Sewer!

Here's the Sewer, here's the Sewer. Here's the wide-awake Sewer; always on the look-out; the leading journal of the United States, now in its twelfth thousand, and still a printing off. Here's the New York Sewer." We cannot resist the temptation of introducing a trans- Atlantic brother of the bioad sheet in the person of Colonel Diver, Editor of the New York Rowdy journal. It is in such enlightened means, said a voice, almost in Martin's ear, that the bubbling passions of my country find a vent." Martin turned involuntarily, and saw, standing close at his side, a sallow gentleman, with sunken cheeks, black hair, small twinkling eyes, and a singular expression hover- ing about that region of his face, which was not a frown, nor a leer, and yet might have been mistaken at the first glance for either. Indeed, it would have been difficult, on a much closer acquaintance, to describe it in any more satisfac- tory terms than as a mixed expression of vulgar cunning and conceit. This gentleman wore a rather broad-brimmed hat for the greater wisdom of his appearance and had his arms folded for the greater impressiveness of his attitude. He was somewhat shabbily dressed in a blue surtout reaching nearly to his ancles, short loose trousers of the same colour, and a faded buff waistcoat, through which a discoloured shirt-frill struggled to force itself into notice, as asserting an equality of civil lights with the other portions of his dress, and maintaining a declaration of independence on its own account. His feet, which were of unusually large propor- tions, were leisurely crossed before him as he half leaned against, half sat upon, the steam-boat's side; and his thick cane, shod with a mighty ferrule at one end and armed with a great metal knob at the other, depended from a line and tassel on his wrist. Thus attired, and thus composed into an aspect of great profundity, the gentleman twitched up the right-hand corner of his mouth and his right eye, simultane- ously, and said once more:- It is in such enlightened means that the bubbling pas- sions of my country find a vent." As he looked at Martin, and nobody else was by, Martin inclined his head, and said— You allude to—" To the Palladium of rational liberty at home, sir, and the dread of foreign oppression abroad," returned the gentle- man, as he pointed with his cane to an uncommonly dirty news-boy with one eye. To the envy of the world, sir, 'and the leaders of human civilization. Let me ask you, sir," he added, bringing the ferrule of his stick heavily upon the deck with the air of a man who must not be equivocated with, how do you like my country V I am hardly prepared to answer that question yet," said Martin, "seeing that I have not been ashore." Well, I should expect you were not prepared, sir," said the gentleman, to behold such signs of national prosperity as those He pointed to the vessels lying at the wharves, and then gave a vague flourish with his stick, as if he would include the air and water generally in this remark. "Really," said Martin, I don't know. Yes. I think I was." The gentleman glanced at him with a knowing look, and said he liked his polic). It was natural, he said and it pleased him, as a philosopher, to observe the prejudices of human nature. You have brought, I see, sir, he said, turning round to. wards Martin, and resting his chin on the top of his stick, the usual amount of misery and poverty, and ignorance and crime, to be located in the bosom of the Great Republic. Well, sir, let 'em come on in ship-loads from the old country. When vessels are about to founder, the rats are said to leave 'em. There is considerable of truth, I find, in that remark." The old ship will keep afloat a year or two longer yet, perhaps," said Martin, with a smile, partly occasioned by what the gentleman said, and partly by his manner of saying it, which was odd enough, for he emphasized all the small words and syllables in his discourse, and left the others to take care of themselves, as if he thought the larger parts of speech could be trusted alone, but the little ones required to be, constantly looked after. "Hope is said by the poet, sir," observed the gentleman, 14 to be the nurse of young desire." Martin signified that he had heard of the cardinal virtue in question serving occasionally in that domestic capacity. She will not rear her infant in the present instance, sir, you'll find," observed the gentleman. Time will show," said Martin. The gentleman nodded his head gravely, and said—"What is your name, sir" Martin told him. How old are you, sir" Martin told him. What's your profession, sid" Martin told him that, also. What's your destination, sir" inquired the gentleman. Really," said Martin, laughing, I can't satisfy you in that particular, for I don't know it myself." "Yes V said the gentleman. No," said Martin. The gentleman adjusted his cane under his left arm, and took a more deliberate and complete survey of Martin than he had yet had leisure to make. When he had completed his inspection, he put out his right hand, shook Martin's hand, and said,— My name is Colonel Diver, sir. I am the Editor of the New York Rowdy journal. Martin received the communication with that degree of respect which an announcement so distinguished appeared to demand. "The New \ork Rowdy journal, sir," resumed the colonel, "is, as I expect you know, the organ of our aristo- cracy in this city." Oh there is an aristocracy heie, then 1" said Martin. Of what is it composed '?" » Of intelligence, sir," replied the colonel; of intelligence and virtue. And of there necessary consequence in this republic—dollars, sir."
OPPOSITE VIEWS OF A WELL-KNOWN…
OPPOSITE VIEWS OF A WELL-KNOWN QUESTION. MISERIES OF A BACHELOR'S LIFE.—Poor fellow! he returns to his lodgins-I will not say to his home." There may be everything he can possibly desire, in the shape of mere external comforts, provided for him by the officious zeal of Mrs. > his housekeeper, but still the room has an air of chilling vacancy; the very atmosphere of the apartment has a dim, uninhabited appearance- the chairs, set round with provoking neatness, look reproachfully use- less and unoccupied and the tables and other furniture shine with impertinent and futile brightness. All is dreary and repelling. No gentle face welcomes his arrival—no kind look answers the listless gaze he throws round the apartment. He sits down to a book—alone there is no one sitting by his side to enjoy with him the favourite pas- sage—the apt remark—the just criticises j 110 eyes in Which to read his own feelings his own tastes are unappreciated and unreflected; he has no resource but himself; all hit happiness must emanate from himself. He flings down the volume in despair hides his face in his hands, and sighs aloud, 0 me miserum !—Book of Courtship. BACHELORS' PRIVILEGES.—These gentlemen accept all the privileges of society, and support none of the expense. They dine out, and are not bound to give dinners in return. Instead of taking a box by the year, they buy an admission for life their carriage holds two, and they are never obliged to set down a dowager. Weddings, christenings, fêtes- nothing comes amiss to them. They art never called papa they are not regularly assailed with milliners, staymakers, and jewellers' bills. We never see them ruining themselves in suits for conjugal rights for them, La Belle Mere is destitute of point, and they yawn at La Femme Jalonse. They are never godfathers from reciprocity they sleep in peace during the best part of the morning, leave balls when they like, and invest money in the funds.— Quarterly Review. OMENS.—Among Lord Teignmouth's peculiarities was a belief in omens, which developed itself at an early period. He stoppped writing a letter to his mother as he felt it was useless and the next post brought an account of her death. He had a more distinct warning" of the death of his little daughter, of which he gives this account to his friend, Charles Grant:—" The loss unhappily furnishes me with an instance. In a letter to Lady Shore, of the 11th of May last, I mentioned a dream respecting my daughter Caroline, which had shocked me to agony but I did not communi- cate to her the particulars. It happened on or about the first of that month—my letter particularly mentions the first. I thought I was walking out with the dear girl, when, stop- ping to speak to somebody, I missed her. A ladder was erected against a house which was repairing, and I con- cluded she had ascended by it. I entered the house and, on inquiring for the child, was told a coroner's inquest was sitting on the body of a dead infant. I hastened to the room, and was struck with the appearance of the dissevered limbs of a child, which I knew to be my own. I took up an arm and the hand grasped my finger. I need not add that I awoke with a scream, and in an agony of tears. It was perhaps at that time that my beloved girl ceased to exist." His biographer says it was the same night.—Life of Lord Teignmouth. LOOKING-OUT.— If young ladies of our acquaintance con- nected themselves by marriage with men who were rather above than below them in property or station, we consider it, without exception, reasonable and estimable. But if a man, whose connexions and prospects were similar to our own, walked towards our house for a wife, we consideret great audacity, and treated it accordingly. We were secretly looking out for genteeler and richer individuals, who again, on their parts, were looking out for genteeler individuals than we.— The Home. ORIGIN OF THE LATE DUEL.—The fatal termination of the duel between Colonel Fawcett and Lieutenant Munroe has excited universal regret. They were married to sisters the one had raised himself to eminence by his services in China, and the other, from his good conduct, had raised him- self from the ranks to a commissioned officer in one of the proudest regiments of England. What a melancholy spec- tacle Two brave men, nearly allied by marriage, at their first meeting after a long separation, quarrel about some money affairs high words pass between them they appeal to their friends—we mean the seconds—and these friends decide that the quarrel must be decided, not by an appeal to a court of law, or by arbitration, or by any other way than an appeal to arms. The seconds are not known, but who- ever they are, on them rests a heavy responsibility. Knowing the family connexions of the principals, and the cause of the misunderstanding, they should have made every exertion to reconcile the differences they should have urged the im- pression which would be made on the public by a hostile meeting between two men who stood in the relation of brothers and if their advice had failed, they should have said you must find other, seconds. But from the rapidity with which the resolution to fight was formed and carried into effect, they evidently had no such humane intentions. The quarrel took place at a late hour of the night, and by 5 o'clock next morning Colonel Fawcett received his mortal wound, exclaiming repeatedly, Oh that I had died on the field of battle." This is a melancholy picture. Two men in the prime of life, honorably distinguished in their respective regiments, and of determined bravery, which should have been reserved for the good of their country, rushed into an unseemly contest in the heat of passion, the one leaving a widow and a sister-in-law equally afflicted, and the other obliged to conceal himself as a felon till he is tried for the crime of murder. Grievous insults from strangers may require, under certain circumstances, such a mode of vindication, but between persons so intimately con- nected, who could have no enmity to each other, who were in fact members of the same family, and who should have been allowed to settle their domestic differences in the usual way, such a collision should, by every possible means, have been avoided. Had the seconds done their duty, it would have been averted and, from what we have heard of the character of the surviving principal, he must now regret that he intrusted his honour to such injudicious friends. Inde- pendent of the hasty manner in which the duel was resolved on, there appears also some mystery as to the way in which it was conducted. At the inquest held on Thursday se'n- night, three witnesses swore positively that they first heard two shots, and after a brief period one. The last, no doubt, was the fatal shot. But what are we to think of seconds who, under such circumstances, and after the honour of near relatives was asserted, allowed them a second opportunity of shedding each other's blood 1 It is altogether a savage transaction, and little honourable to the army or the country, DISCOVERY OF Two HUMAN SKELETONS.—A day or two ago, as some workmcn were engaged in digging the founda- tions of some new houses at the bottom of Lower Harley- plaee, Clifton Down, they turned up a portion of a human skeleton. Information having been conveyed to Dr. Fair- brother, that gentleman proceeded to the spot, and instructed the workmen to dig farther, when it appeared that two skele- tons, one of them measuring six feet, were imbedded in the ground, at about 18 inches from the surface. They were lying north and south, and there were no remains of coffins or other indication of christian burial; there can, therefore, be little doubt but they were murdered. The field was ploughed up about two years since, and nothing of the kind was then discovered. Dr. Fairbrother removed all the bones he could collect, and, after examination, is, we understand, of opinion that they are the remains of two elderly persons probably of a man and woman.
STATE OF SOUTH WALES.I
STATE OF SOUTH WALES. I find, says the Times correspondent, that the result of Mr. Maule's attendance here is that the Government will take the prosecutions on themselves; and, as far as I can learn, the Solicitor-General will attend on the part of the Crown at the forthcoming trials of those concerned in the riot here on the 19th ult. The depositions have been placed in the hands of Mr. Maule and Mr. Raven, who attends with him, and those functionaries are now engaged in preparing the necessary indictments. A woman of the name of Frances Evans was last night apprehended at Cilgwynucha, and examined on Tuesday se'nnight before a lull bench of magistrates, charged with having participated in the riot at the Carmarthen workhouse, and with having incited and led the mob on that occasion. Mr. Maule and Mr. Raven attended the examina- tion, which was conducted in Welsh, as the prisoner was un- acquainted with English. Sarah Thomas, the schoolmistress of the union workhouse, being sworn, deposed to having been at the workhouse on Monday, June 19. when the riot took place, and the mob broke into the hall. It was at about one o'clock in the day. The mob marched in, and began beating the tables, &c., with staves, which they had in their hands. Witness ran up into the school-room, where the children, who were much alarmed, were crying. Two men, one of whom she thought she could identify, followed her there. They said they had no wish to hurt the children, but let them out. Witness replied that the children had no homes, and would be far better off there. The men said they had applied for redress, and that now they would have redress by force themselves, and one of them said he would spill every drop of blood in his body before they would lose the day, for they did not fear the military. The men then went out into another part of the house. Shortly afterwards witness saw the prisoner Fanny Evans, whom she knew from her having been in the workhouse a short time previously. She was leading, the mob upstairs. Witness asked her if she was not ashamed of herself, to which the prisoner replied, that she had seen enough of the workhouse, and was determined to go on with it. A female in the workhouse then forced the prisoner down stairs, and witness afterwards saw her dancing with violent gestures on the table in the hall. The door of witness's room was broken open and she was put in fear of her life. She saw the violence of the mob increasing, and believed that if the military had not arrived when they did, the workhouse would have been pulled down or destroyed. Another witness having given similar testimony, the prisoner, who declined saying anything, was held to bail to appear and take her trial at the assizes. The attack upon and destruction of the gates not only is continued with increased daring, but is spreading into a wider locality. Not only have they levelled the priucipal gates in Carmarthenshire, but the work ot destruction is going on in Cardiganshire and Pembrokeshire, and yet not a single indi- vidual has been apprehended. A night or two since they marched in very large numbers to the Scleddy-gate, near Fishguard (where the French landed in 1798), and in a very short time demolished the gates, posts, and houses, and broke the toll-boards, &c., into pieces so small that in the morning not a piece was discovered larger than would be fit for matchwood. After the work ot destruction had been com- pleted, the whole party left in the direction of the Haverford- west-road. On the same night they attacked the Fishguard Hill-gate, which they also broke in pieces they then pro- ceeded to the toll-bar at the other end of Fishguard, where they attacked the toll-keeper's, house, the windows of which they demolished. Things have now reached such a pass, that it is thought by respectable persons of the neighbourhood, that unless stopped, both private property and persons travelling on the roads will shortly be rendered very insecure. They appear now to have adopted plans to harass the soldiery. Last light, from information received, the troop of the 4th Dragoons were ordered to mount at 11 o'clock, to march to some gate in the neighbourhood just, however, as the men were about to start at a gallop, subsequent informa- tion was received which prevented their proceeding. The troop of Dragoons at St. Clear's were also out upon the roads all night, lights having been shown at various spots which induced them to believe that an attack was being made on gates in different situations.
Glamorganshire Summer Assizes.
Glamorganshire Summer Assizes. The Assizes commenced on Tuesday last, before Mr. Baron Rolfe. On Monday afternoon the High-sheriff of the county (J. Homfray, Esq., of Llandaff House), accompanied by his javelin men, several of the borough authorities, and a nu- merous cortege, left the Cardiff Arms Hotel for Rumney turnpike-gate, where it was supposed they would have met his lordship, and conducted him with the usual ceremony into town. The procession left the Cardiff Arms at half-past six o'clock, and consisted of-Sir George- Tyler, Mr. Traherne, of Coedriglan; Mr. Bruce Pryce, Mr. Jenner, Mr. Traherne, of Coitrahen; Mr. Knight, of Tythegston, Mr. Jones, of Fonmon Castle; Mr. Thomas, of Llandaff' Court; Mr. Bassett, of Bonvilston Mr. Lee and Mr. Henry Lee, Mr. Fothergill, of Hensol Castle Mr. Coffin, Mr. C. Williams (the mayor of Cardiff), Mr. Evans, Mr. Needham, Mr. Beaumont, &c., &c. On arriving at the place of assignation they were informed that his lordship would not leave Newport till eight o'clock. This intimation had the effect of abridging the ceremony of conducting his lordship into town by the return home of the greater part of the carriages that formed the procession, leaving those only in waiting on his lordship whose official attendance was indispensable. This want of precision in the arrangement was no small disappointment to the multi- tudious holyday-niakers, who mustured a strong force and were not a little chagrined at the absence of the customary show. The windows and balconies along the line of the expected procession were filled with elegantly-dressed fe- males, who experienced not a little of the vexation incident to the disappointment. About ten o'clock, however, his lordship reached Pengam bridge, and was conducted into town,- the rival luminaries—moon-light and gas-light— showing him the way he should go. At that hour a large number of pedestrians were promenading Crockherbtown, in anxious expectation of the arrival of the procession, and their loyalty was rewarded by a full view of what remained of the spectacle. His lordship directly proceeded to the Town-hall, where the commission was opened with the usual formalities. On Tuesday morning his lordship went to church, attended by the high-sheriff, the mayor and corpora- tion, &c when a sermon, suitable to the occasion, was preached by the high-sheriffs chaplain, the Rev. Windsor E. Richards, rector of Saint Andrew's. At the conclusion of the service, his lordship proceeded to the Town-hall, and proceeded at once to the business of the assizes. On the proclamation against vice and immorality being read, the following grand jury were sworn :— LOUD JAMES STUART, M.P., foreman; J. W. Bennett, Esq. Whitlock Nicholl, Esq. T. W. Booker, Esq..William Needham, Esq. Walter Coffin, Esq. J. Bruce Pryce, Esq. Hugh Entwisle, Esq. Robert Savours, Esq. Rowland Fothergill, Esq. M. P. Traherne, Esq. Sir J. J. Guest, Bart., M.P. Gervas Turberville, Esq. It. F. Jenner, Esq. Sir George Tyler Robert O. Jones, Esq. N. Y. E. Vaughan, Esq. E. H. Lee, Esq. J. H. Vivian, Esq., M.P. Henry T. Lee, Esq. and J. Lewis, Esq. Wm. E. Williams, Esq. C. M. R. Morgan, Esq., M.P. His lordship then addressed the grand jury. It afforded him, he observed, much satisfaction to be able to say that their labours were not likely to be either long or difficult. He had looked over the depositions that had come before him, and, except in two or three cases, the matter of accusa- tion was comparatively trifling. None of them, in fact, would call for any particular observation. There were, however, two cases in which two individuals were charged with wilful and deliberate murder by means of poison. On that subject it would be for them to decide, in the first instance, whether the crime charged had been committed and that disposed of, then comes the question—by ivhomt To gentlemen of their experience, this distinction would at once appear to be necessary. There would be, it might be expected, in such a case, purely circumstantial, much con- flicting testimony. They, however, would narrowly look at the cases, and give the proper degree of weight to the evidence, and the reasonable circumstances on which it was founded, whether by poison and if so, whether the parties accused, or either of them, were implicated. That the poison of one individual was contemplated by the perpetrator of the act, there was no (loiibt;-that it was meant to be extended, or that others should participate in it, wag, per- haps, not quite so clear. He was bound to tell them how- ever, that this absence of intention, as regarded the second victim, did not, by any means, detract from the enormity of the alledged offence they were charged with. This incidental, and, perhaps, underground act of poisoning was, he was bound to tell them, as much a murder as if the act contemplated alone. If, for instance, a person intended to poison A, and that B accidentally came by his death, the accidental death of B was as much a murder as if it was originally intended to take him off. He thought it right to direct their attention to this view of the case, as material to a proper investigation of the matter. Undeniable testimony as to the state of the bodies of the deceased would be sub- mitted to them, from which the cause of death might be inferred. In submitting those observations to them, which, ih the discharge of his duty, lie felt bound to make, he would observe, that matter of this nature tended somewhat to give a bias to the mind, which it was material to guard against. Upon the whole case, with all its complication of circumstances, he had no doubt they would exercise a sound and legitimate discretion. He could not help, in the dis- charge of his duty, adverting with regret to the disturbance of the public peace in the adjoining counties, in a manner to excite well-founded apprehension of violent breaches of the peace. He was glad to find that the large and im- portant county of Glamorgan had not united with such. Perhaps he would not be going far out of his way in recom- mending, on their part, the utmost vigilance, iu order to detect and punish any infractions of the public peace because lawless men should be taught that there was nothing to justify lawless excesses and that such would be punished with the utmost rigour of the law. It was probable that through ignorance, or inadvertence, excessive tolls might be de- manded. It was their duty, he should say, to give such cases, ifany, a consideration, with a view, if practicable, to immediate redress. They should not shrink from any such emergency through any craven or discreditable fear for he would tell them, that the worst of all timidity was the fear of being thought afraid. It was the bounden duty of all to act in concert, and put down the insurrectionary feeling but, at the same time, while they did this, it was equally their duty to ascertain, and, if possible, remove the causes of this discontent. With these remarks he would commend them to their duties, satisfied that they would discharge them satis- factorily. His lordship concluded by adverting to the case of a woman charged with stealing a pair of boots, the de- positions in which had been just put into his hands, as to the responsibility of her child the accomplice. The grand jury then retired, and the court proceeded to the TRIAL OF PRISONERS. Mary Williams, of Merthyr, was put to the bar charged with having stolen a pair of boots and a pair of shoes, the property of John Jones. Richard Kayes stated, that on the 8th of July, he had a stand in the market, for selling shoes. John Jones had a stand next to his. He saw the prisoner near the stand. She took a pair of boots from Jones's stand, and put them under her daughter's cloak. She then went to the gate of the market, witness followed her and brought her back, and took the shoes from her, and placed them on a nail separate from the others until the policemen came. John Jones stated that he had a stand next to Kayes. He remembers the little girl being given into custody of the policeman. He saw the shoes hung up on a nail. Rees, constable, deposed to the boots being given to him, and to having taken the girl into custody. The daughter of the prisoner was produced. She stated that her mother did not give her the shoes, but that she took them herself. Kayes possitively affirmed that it was the mother took them. Guilty.—One year's imprisonment and hard labour. His lordship strongly reprobated the mother for an attempt to screen her guilt by her daughter's perjury. John Thomas pleaded Not Guilty. Isaac Harries, sworn—Is a tailor in Caerphilly. Remem- bers on the 3rd of July, lending an umbrella to Evan Evans, blacksmith, of the same place. Saw the umbrella next in the possession of Thomas Lloyd, policeman. Evan Evans sworn-Is a blacksmith at Caerphilly. Bor- rowed the umbrella in question from Isaac Harries, on the 3rd of July. He put the umbrella against a stable door, whilst he caught a mare, about 15 yards off. In saddling her he lost sight of the umbrella, and when he came back 3 minutes. after, the umbrella was gone. Called upon Stephen Evans, who overtook the prisoner with an umbrella on his shoulder. Prisoner said he found it. Guilty of stealing it,—imprisonment and kept to hard labour for 21 days. Catherine Peeclall and Mary Mahony, pleaded Not Guilty, to stealing 1 cwt. of coal, the property of Mr. T. Powell. Thomas Davies, policeman—Was on duty on the 3rd of July last, opposite Air- Powell's wharf, at 3f, in the morning Saw the two prisoners with two bags of cottl-met them at the bridge—took the girls and coal to Mr. Powell's foreman, who came to the yard and found a quantity of coal missing Prisoner Mahony—We found it on a heap of straw. Guilty. 14 day's in solitary continement.

The defendant pleaded that he did not make the note, and that plaintiff gave no consideration for it. — Davies, a clerk in a Merthyr bank, proved the hand- writing of Williams to the note. Mr. V. Williams addressed the jury. The real defence on the action was, he contended, that Williams put his hand to the note at Richards's request, and for his accommodation. The learned counsel then called the following evidence :— Watkin Williams stated that he had been released in the matter of the note by Wm. Williams. He objected to pro- duce the release unless obliged. In May, 1841, he kept a a public-house at Merthyr, and has since taken the benefit of the Insolvent Act. There was a bill of exchange of his, given to the plaintiff. dishonoured. Richards gave him a bill instead of that which had been dishonoured, and asked him to get four sureties for another bill. Neither of these was Williams, the defendant. He urged him to accept a bill, as he was in want of money and he hoped he would do it for his sake. He ultimately did sign the note, together with WUliamg, -•» Cross-examined by Mr. Chilton: He made over E250 worth of accounts when he came out of prison. He was never a bankrupt. He had the value in malt for the bill. It was the balance of an accouitl run with Mr. Richards from time to time. The bill in question was given in ex- change for another. After some other immaterial evidence was gone into, Mr. Chilton addressed the jury. His lordship left the case to the jury, observing on the danger of accepting accommodation bills and that it was for them to determine how far the defendant, when he put his name to the bill, was exonerated from its liability by the plea that it was for the accommodation of the plaintiff.

AN INTELLIGENT Juity.-At the Bucks quarter sessions, held at Aylesbury, Mark Crabtree was charged with stealing several small articles of plate from the White Hart Hotel. The constable found a missing salt-cellar and salt spoon, a glass, and a knife, in prisoner's pockets. The jury, after a long consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but not with a felonious intent (much laughter.) The clerk of the court then told them they must amend their virdict. They then returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the prisoner left the court. CONSERVATIVE LEGISLATION.—-The Conservative Govern- ments of the two first States in the world, and France, have little reason to be proud of legislative labours during the present sessions, for it would be difficult to find at any former period so many hills withdrawn or re- jected within the space of a few months. In the French Chamber there has been a wholesale destruction of bills, which were almost unanimously adopted by the Government, and, when brought nearly to the last stage, were rejected without any assigned cause. Such were some of the railroad bills, and especially that great line, of such importance to the tu-o capitals, the line from Paris to the English channel. That was thrown overboard in opposition to the Ministry, without ceremony or any real cause, if we are to judge from the brief speeches made on the occasion. A bill, too, for the better administration of justice met with the same fate. It was disc jsied day after day; all the clauses were adopted, with certain amendments, which appeared to meet the ap- probation of members yet when it came to a third reading, and the Government anticipated no opposition, the Chamber, in a fit of economy, we suppose, put an end to it. The Sugar Bill introduced by the Government was also rejected, and another substituted in its place, in a similar fit of economy, which for four years will, by a slow torture, ruin all the beet-root growers of France, without affording any immediate relief to the colonies. M. Guizot and Marshal Soult, in fact, can carry hardly any measures except those for maintaining a vast army, and "completing the greatest folly of the age," and even these they carry only by threats and uproar. Soult frightened the Deputies to vote for the full complement of troops, by announc- ing his determination to resign, and even then he had only a majority of 20. How the Fortifications Bill was carried against such manifest opposition, we cannot tell but those in the secret say that Court influence did it all. The bastiles are a hobby of his Majesty, and the numerous Royal dinners given lately to every man of note in the two Chambers have not been vain, or without an object. Louis Philippe knows his men well, and he knows also how to rule and control them. Sir Robert Peel has a strong Government, he has a majority in both Houses able to pass any measures he may think propel to recommend. The session is drawing towards a close, and if he does not take advantage of the dog-days and grouse-shooting, scarcely one bill of the slightest importance will receive the Royal assent. He may console himself, however, with the reflection that he has companions in affliction, and that his Conservative friends, Guizot and Soult, have the best of all reasons for sympathising with him.-Sun. IRELAND.—MORE DISMISSALS OF MAGISTRATES.—Writs of liupersedeas have been issued from the Hanaper-office for the following named gentlemen, at the particular request of Sir Edward Sugden:—Mr. Denis M'Carthy, county of Cork (an actor at the Newmarket demonstration) Sir Valentine Blake, Bart, M.P. for Galway Messrs. Dunne and Lyons, for the Queen's County. The two latter gentlemen can have no solid reason for complaint on the score of precipi- taney, as both figured at the Repeal demonstration on the Curragh of Kildare, an occurrence of some six weeks' standing. THE WELSH R.IoTs.-The correspondent of the Times alleges that poverty is among the incentives to the late out- break, and adduces the following anecdote in illustration Happening to call at a respectable watchmaker's shop, the conversation of course led to the subject of the riots and their causes. I can only tell you, sir, said he, that scarcely a week passes without some farmer or his wife coming into my shop, and having asked to speak to me privately, begging me to purchase his watch, or an old family clock, which he was loth to sell, but stating that he was unable to pay his rates, and should be seized upon unless he could make them up. He then showed me a wedding ring, which had been brought him by a farmer's wife, who declared with tears in her eyes that she was obliged to part with it, as her corn had not sold for sufficient to make up her rates. I took the ring in my hand, it was a very substantial one, weighing upwards of two pennyweights, although it had the appearance of having been worn for years, and bearing inside of it, as a motto, the words" No riches like content." This poor woman must have been in the utmost exigence before she would have parted with her ring, which she held of nearly equal value with her life but I will simply state the facts, and leave your readers to draw their own inferences, -merely remarking that these are not solitary instances. With the exception of _a further destruction of gates, ] do not anticipate any renewal of outrage at present, as the country is completely garrisoned with military. At Brecon, Carmarthen, Callllft and New- castle Emlyn, there are both horse and foot, and there are companies of infantry or marines at Merthyr, Pembroke, Swansea, and Cardigan, and at Narberth and St. Clear's squadrons of the Yeomanry cavalry. There "are also two companies of the ltitle Brigade at Bristol, under the orders of Colonel Love, to be brought here if necessary.

THE REVENUE.
THE REVENUE. The Revenue accounts for the quarter ending April 5th, have been published. The general balance for the year shows an increase in the total revenue of the country, to the amount of 12,342,942, as compared with the year ending July 5th, 1842. This, however, is not to be taken as the absolute increase because, in this sum is included the pro- perty-tax, amounting, for the year, to £ 3,317,997, and the money received from China, which, being given under the. head of" Miscellaneous," cannot be stated with accuracy, but, which must amount to, at least, a million sterling. These- two items deducted, it wiil be found that on the ordinary sources of revenue for the year, the actual decrease is nearly one million nine hundred thousand pounds. In the customs,. there is a decrease of 1514,926 on the year, as compared with the year 1842, while, on the quarter, there is an increase of £ 135,015 as compared with the corresponding quarter of last year. In the Excise, the decrease for the year is no less than £ 1,012,868 as compared with last year: while for the quarter, there is an increase of £ 140,013. In the Stamps and Taxes, there is a decrease on both the year and the quarter. In the stamps, the decrease on the year is X203,717, and on the quarter E39,369 and in the Taxes, the decrease on the year is C294,033, and on the quarter 1:74,408. There- is a small decrease in the revenue of tho Post-office for the. quarter to the amount of 1:9000 but on the year, the increase- is £ 59,000. Upon the whole, though we do not think these- accounts are such as to be matter for much exultation, yet as there is a small increase in some of the more important sources of revenue, we hope that they may be considered 3S an indication of reviving trade and prosperity.—Mommy Chronicle.
