To the Editor of the Carmarthen…
Monday last being Charter-day, an unusual degree of interest and importance was attached to the proceed- ings from the expected contest for the vacant office of Councilman for this Borough. A proposal, we under- stand, was made by tite gentlernan who supported Mr. William Hughes's claims to compromise, by allowing the Red party to elect the whole of tfce other Municipal Officers without opposition, if Mr. Hughes should be elected Councilman. This overture was rejected, and the Blue party put Capt. John George Philipps, the fix-Candidate for the Membership, in nomination for the office of Mayor; the Red party proposing Daniel Prytherch, Esq. A spirited contest ensued, which, in the course of the day, terminated in the election of Mr. Prytherch by a majority of thirty-three; the numbers being for Capt. Piiilipps, 175, and for Mr. Prytherch, 208. Just before the close of the poll, a most dis- graceful and brutal attack was made on the constables by the mob in the Mayor's presence. The constables were necessarily "Scattered in different parts of the Court, and this gave their assailants, from their im- mense numerical superiority, great advantage Over them, and they were overpowered and obliged to fly, after having their batons wrenched from their hands and employed against the nselves. We saw several thrust out of the Hall, and some tremendous blows in- flicted on them, and they were obliged to consult their sjafety in flight. Mr. La.zenby, the head of the police, was very severely punished in endeavouring to quell the riot, and itas obliged to quit the Hall, when he was again assailed and forced to take refuge in one of the neighbouring houses. Things at this juncture ap- peared so serious, tllat the Magistrates called out the Staff of the Militia, under the command of Adjutant Banks Davies, and they remained under arms in front of the Hall until the close of the day's proceedings happily there iirose no occasion for their employment. There was no opposition oftered to the election of the Other Corporate Officers, except the Councilman but in the thenxèitedltateof public feeling, it was not i g, deemed prudent to proceed with a contested election p that evening, and theCourc adjourn to the following r "> n ( day, to enable the Authorities to take wleqiiate mea- sures for the maintenance of the public peace. A very [large additional constabulary force was sworn in the following morning, and by tlwal)pi-eliensionlof a. few j of the most active in the riot of the preceding day, and the firmness of the Chief Magistrate, public tranqui- llity was preserved, and the business of electing suffered to proceed-without furtherinterruption The candi- tiiti-s foi- the vacant office of Councilman were (hi. rnond Philipps, Esq. a Cwmgwilly, and William I Hughes, Esq. of Tregib,—the former supported by the friends of Mr. Jones-, or the Red interest, and the latter by the Blue party. In consequence of the nu- merous friends Mr, Hughes had among the Red party, who had promised him their support, and the conse- quent division of interests, a nicely-balanced and an animated contest was expected, and the result was con sidered doubtful. After, however, a keen struggle, the Ile;l interest again prevailed in the return of Mr. Philipps, by a majority of eleven the iiitryiliet-s polled being, for Mr. Philipps, 191; for Mr. flughes, ISO.- The following were the Officers elected for the year ::> ensuing: — 3/ai/or-Daniel Prytherch, Esq. CCharles Morgan, Esq. John Bowen, F,sq. M. D Peers < D. J. Edwarrles, Esq. Aaron Tim in ins, Esq. £ Urismond Philipps,Esq. David Jones, Esq. Chamberlain— David Jones, Esq. J ,Slie.riffs-Messi-s Posthumous r:, Philipps and David Rees. Serjeant at Mace—Mr. Isaac Young Evans. We cannot too emphatically deprecate the system of terror which is attempted to be establisned by the agency of the mob to overawe and deter the timid from the honest exercise of their franchise; but we trust that tlu arm of the law, as in the present case, will ever be found sufficiently powerful to crush every at tempt at intimidation, come from whatever quarter it may. The Carmarthenshire Harriers will meet on Tuesday next, at the Plough and Harrow, on the ComviPrnuil, a lid 011 Friday, atTroedrhiw bridge, on the .L'.anpump- saint i-o,,i(l,-eacii morning at 10 o'clock. The Pembrokeshire Fox-hounds meet On Monday next, at Cotts, and on Wednesday, at Den-natit Mill, each morning at 10 o'clock. The Pembrokeshire Election commences on Thurs- day next. Tiie Marquis of Anglesey has arrived in town from Ireland, with the View of being present at the discus- sion on the Reform Bill in the House of Lords. A most melancholy accident happened to George Williiiitis, one of the Carpenters in pnttingon the roof of the New Church now erecting at Aberystwyth. He fell upwards of fifty feet high: his legs, thighs, and arm were broken, and in consequence of being other- wise bruised he died almost immediately. We understand that a large'meeting of "the friends of Sir John Owen toJ! place at the house of the Rev. D. Prothero, Eg-lwysw-rw, yesterday, to arrange measures for securing the worthy Baroiiet's re-election for the county of Pembroke among whom were Mr. Bowen, Lhvyngwair, Mr. Williams, Cwmgloyne, tiie Thane of Kemys, Doctors Rowlands and Jones, and several other gentlemen of the first influence and consideration in that part of the county. The prevailing opinion seems to be that Sir John's return is secure, should there be any contest, as he has gained a considerable acces- L, sion of interest since the last election. We have been informed that the Carmarthen Militia will be called out forthwith for training". It is sup- posed they will be drafted to Ireland to rej lace the re- giments of the line now embarking at Cork. The Lord Bishop of Bangor has been pleased to ap- point the Rev. J. W. Trevor, M. A. Vicar of Carnar- von, and the Rev. John Jones, B. D., Perpetual Curate of Holyhead, and late Fellotv of Jesus College, Oxford his Lordship's Examining Chaplains. Sir Claude William Champion de Crespigny, Bart., now on a visit at llhoseduon Tower, Cardiganshire, recently experienced a most miraculous escape from premature death, in consequence of being accidentally fired at by his uncle, Herbert de Crespigny, Esq. who lost not a moment's time in obtaining for his nephew the attendance of it surgeon and physician, both of n p lo-reat practical experience, who, howeverimminent at first they considered the danger of the case, now, we are happy to state, pronounce Sir Claude in a rapid state of convalescence. « Thursday last, Thomas Grove, Esq. was elected Portreeve of Swansea for the year ensuing, and Mr. John Davics and Mr. James Hall, re-elected Common Attornies, for the same period. S ime day, John Bird and Whitlock Nicholl, Esqrs. were elected Bailiffs of Cardiff, and Mr. W. Jenkins and Mr. Robert Thomas, Common Attornies.

Abbott, son of Lord Teriiterden, and j nephew by marriage to the Duke of Beaufort, has been appointed Recorder of the Boi-iitig-li of Monmouth, in the room of the right Hon. Charles Bragge Bathurst, deceased. At Brecon fair on Friday week, there was a consi- derable improvement in the price of cattle. A gieat many horses were sold, but not at advanced prices. On Saturday there was a brisk sale of pigs. A circumstance of a very extraordinary nature lately occurred in Pembrokeshire Daniel Eviins, of Llan 11 J'i nwthan, near Fishguard, impelled by vibenevolent-whh of providing a coffin for the interment of his wife (who was considered dangerously ill, but is now in a fair way of recovery), went to the above town for tha pur- pose; but so narrow and imperfect is human foresight- that, after having completed the bargain he became in toxicated, returned home that evening", and at ten o'clock the following morning he hirnsèlfstood in need of the same article he intended for his wife. On Thursday, the 15th ult. the numerous tenantry, friends, tradesmen, &c. of Charles Hanhury Tracy, Esq. of Cregynog, in the parish of Tregynon, Mont- gomeryshire, assembled together to celebrate the mar- riage of his son, Charles Tiacy Leigh, Esq. when a fatted ox and sheep were roasted, and a plentiful sup- ply of cwrio da, after which Mr. Dyer (agent) with the tenantry, partook'of an excellent dinnfer at Gregyriog. Musicians being present, with many of the fair sex, dancing was set up, and coatinued with great mirth and spirits to a latchour.-On the next day, the tenant- ry and friends in the parish of Penstrowyd assembled. Mr. Francis, of Tymawr, and Mr. Cleaton, of the Halt, gave fat sheep, which were roasted, and divided with plenty of bread and ale to the poor; the other tenants subscribed in proportion Sheep were roasted on the summit of that mountain called Pen-y-garn, which commands a beautiful view of the extensive valley guns were fired, and the day was spent with demon- strations of joy, and happy festi vity.—On the 21st inst the genttemen and tenants residing in the neighbour-' hood of Caersws assembled: a fat ox was given to the _4 poor, and a highly respectable party dined at the Buck Inn: and the evening was spent in unanimity, and hearty wishes for the welfare of the families united by the marriage. BAD MONEY.—A correspondent requests us to cau- I tion the public against counterfeit crowns,halt-browns, and shillings, which are circulating- in considerable quantity in town" They are composed of an alloy, into which some silver enters, and are rather a clever imi- tation. They may. however, be distingnishedfruIII good money by their slippery feel between the fingers, by their darker or more leaden hue, by their inferior and lower tone when rung, and, on minute examina- tion, by divers irregularities in the letters.—Herald. MKRTHVR TVOPTTI.—The discharged workmen at Merthyr continue very peaceable—some of tiu; more sensible have returned to their work—-but some thousands are still holding out, buoyed up by the false hopes of large remittances expected from "the North." -if tlipy mean the North of England, the" Unions" there are either unable or unwilling to support the refractory workmen in their own immediateneighhour- 1 10111,- hoods; it is not likely, therefore, they will send any thing to Merthyr. CIVIL PUNISHMENT FOR SABBATH BREA Monday last, Jane Yeates, who keeps a house at lii-oa(Istoiie for the retailing of beer, was by our own town magistrates fined 10s. and costs, for having kept her house open and allowed tippling during the bourse of morning and evening service, on Sunday,the 1.8,11 September last. George Evans one of the tipplers, was at the saui€ time convicted in the penalty of 10s. and 14s conts, for an assault upon William Lewis, another of riie partv, who in his turn was, at the same time, fined £ 3 and 9s costs, for having broken the windows of Mrs. Yates, the proprietor of the beer shop.—Monmouthshire Merlin. CAUTION TO PARENTS.—On the night oi Saturday ii-eeli, a fire broke out in a house in Swansea, which was happilydiscoveretl in time to sare ttie-lives of three children. 11 appeared that during the temporary ab- sence of the occupiers, the house was left to the care o! their eldest daughter, who, after putting the children to bed, went out, thoughtlessly leaving the candle to bed, went out, thoughtlessly leaving the candle burning by the bedside, which it is supposed, must have communicated to the bed-clothes. The neigh- hours from the density of the smoke were unable to enter the the room. Sir. Thomas Morgan, jun., at the risk of his life, gained admittance through the front window, and was successful in his benevolent and courageous attempt to rescue the poor children from suffocation. lei NA- LIGliT'S.riio-,e %i,lio are concertie(i for the iiii- vigable welfare of the daiigerous but much frequented Bristol Channel, will detivegreat satisfaction in know- ing that, through the indefatigable exertion of Lieu tenant Denham, R.N., this summer, in having by his Admiralty Survey sufficiently pourtrayed the dangers east and,west of the Nass Point,—and the spirited anxiety of the Corporation of the Trinity House to meet the exigencies of such vital importance to life and property,—the sites were determined upon, and the foundation laid of Two Light-houses on that point, last Mr. Nelson, the Trinity House Architect, is making most rapid progress in the erection, which will he carried on through the winter, however incle ment.—We understand that these Lights will be so arranged as to lead clear of the ill-fated Nass and Scanveather sands, westward, and clear of the danger ous point of Breaksca, and One Fathom Bank, east- ward, also proving against the Culver sands. DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—The only case which came under the consideration of the Magistrate, at the Pentice (Joint, this week, was one in which two pri- vates in the 53rJ Regiment, stationed in this citv.Thos. Bedford and James weiecharged with robbing Thomas Rowlands, labourer, of Hawardcn, near the Castle ditch, and not above eight yards from the City Walls,about half-past ei_ht o'clock onSaturday even- ing. Rowlands met with the soldiers about four o'clock in the afternoon, and treated t^em at two pub- lic houses with ale; he then left them, but he had nut proeeded fat, before lie was overtaken by the soldiers, who persuaded him to accompany them to the Liver pubic-house, wli re he also gave them two glasses of ale. They afterwards accompanied him out of the house, and took him to the spot above described, where one of them knocked him down, Md while on the ground they stuffed his mouth full of nettles, and rifled his pockets of all he possessed, two half-crowns, and two ,slilling-s. They then kicked and cursed him heartily and ran off along the walls. During the time they were abusing him, Rowland begged them to spl;re his life. As soon as he could, he gave the alarm, and several persons came to his assistance. The following; morning Rowland went to tiie parade and immediately recognized the two offenders. Two artillerymen de- posed to seeing Rowland in company with these men. Redford and M'Coy, acknowledged that they were with Rowlands at three public-houses but declared tilitt tl, did not rob him.—The evidence against them was of the most satisfactory nature, and they were committed for trial at the next October City Sessions.—[Redford was only liberated from the City gitol about a mon'h ago, where he had been confined for twelve m n lii, for another highway robbery.].—Chester Chronic'e BRECONSIIIRE RACES.—These races took pla-e on Aberennrig Course on Wednesday and Thursday se'n- nig-ht, and, as usual, were attended by the principal fa- milies in that and the neighbouring counties.

Augustus Morgan and Octavius Morgan, Esq. on which occasion the bells of the different churches rang- merry peals. On Monday evening, Charles Mor- gan Robinson Morgan, Esq.

TO THE J Independent Freeholders OF THE J COUNTY OF1 PEMBROKE. GENTLEMEN, ———— TIIE attacks of our opponents have for a moment prevailed, and the accusers of the Sheriff have a temporary triumph. To those who are the Enemies oj all oppression.— To those also who professing great personal regardfor nlC, ref used me their support at the late Election, solely a. they declarcdfrolll their still greater attachment to the cause of Reform, 1 venture confidently to appeal. The Enemies of oppression will not permit those excellent and honourable individuals the High Sheriff uad Deputy Sheriff of your County to be accused as they have been, -with such cruelty and injustice, with- out marking the attempt with their decided reproba- tion, and trusting that by the way in which I have ful- filled my Pledge to the County, have proved to the friends of Reform the Sincerity of my promises and declarations, I anticipate from them in return a proof of the sincerity of theirs. If yon are only true to yourselves the triumph vf our opponents will be of short duration, I rejoice thai in defending the Sheriff's character you will assert the Independence of your own, and I hail in the incen- tives to these exertions the certain foundations of future victory. 1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful Friend and Servant, JOHN OrrEN. Orielton, 26th September, 1831. T~ TO THE -rid Mtwgesses OF CARMARTHEN. GENTLEMEN, f pHK late Contest in the Borough of Carmarthen, for the Election of a Common-Councilman, must have impressed ojn your minds the conviction, that had the Returning Officer with the impartiality belonging to that character, alloyved me the short time required of him to bring up ihe Burgesses who were on their way to poll for me. the result would have been far different from what h has been, and would have ended in a majority indisputa- bly in my favour. I do not wish to allude to party spirit 5 Illy wish is to c,insi:ii it to oblivion I)tit I Cannot cor,is- tently with trulh and the firm opinion I entertain of the "ntVir course pursued by the Person who now fills the Civic Chair, and w ho to those of my family, whit are numbered JVi(h the dead, owes all the consequence which lias raised "nj from insignificance, and who ought, if possessed of gra- Illude, to have been mv supporter, forbearing noticing the gross of his, conduct. In the public estimation, however, he still retains his former rank; and therefore I *lwtll abst ain from any further comment, but merely asking '"m to make the contrast between himself in 1825 and 1831. Did he not, when in the same situation and on a similar "ccasion in the former year, keep Ihe poll open until half- Past ten at night ? and what could his motives be for closing It with five minutes' notice only, before three o'clock in the afternoon, yyhen I as-ured him that Voters still unpolled were nearat hand, & who did arrive in my Committee-Room "'most at (he moment when th-is unwarrantable decision made ? To himself and his conscience Ilease the answer. Sorry was I to perceive, and much do I regret, that riot 111al disorder occurred in the town, and to many, I fear, <erinus injury but to whom can these evils be attributed, Except to" those whose pusillanimity and want of firmness, "fraid to tru.-t to their common Townsmen, called to their aiel a Rand of bludgeoned Colliers,—w hose partiality denied equal justice,—and who by futile attempts vainly thought coerce the current of public opinion. From these unpleasant reflections I turn with gladness to Subject more gratify in to my feelings, and one which will t'v"r cling to my I)e;ii-t-the warm and disinterested support I have received and to every Friend, without any refer- ence to party distinction, who gave me his Vote, and to all Illy supporters, I beg to offer my grateful thanks, and to as- 81i,re them that the recollection of theirjkiudness w ill end only Will my life. o With every sentiment of gratitude, I rcmawr, Gentlemen, Your obliged and faithful Servant, W.

POLITICAL SUMMARY.
The liberty of the Press without its licentiousness." POLITICAL SUMMARY. THE decision of the Lords on the second-reading the Reform Bill has, we should imagine, been Pronounced ere this. 1 The debate was opened by Lord Grey in an elaborate speech, which was merely a recapitulation of what. bad been previously rurged by the Commons, and presented no new point whatever. We do not say this in disparage- ment of his Lordship's oratorical powers,, which are undoubtedly great, but to shew that the subject is worn quite thread bare, and that the Lords have little to expect in the shape of information on this now exhausted subject. FromthegcneraLspuit of I heir speeches, and the firmness of their tone, weare inclined to think that the Lords will do their duty, uninfluenced by the menaces by which they have been assailed. Lord Winchelsea, we are convinced, sjJoke the sentiments, and rightly expressed the feelings, of a vast proportion of his Peers, when, in relation to the brute threats that had been employed to frighten the Lords from their propriety, and to scai-e tlieni from the honest andconscientious discharge of their duty, he said, he could not c'.moenl that the constitution should be completely and violently destroyed, although he was a. reformer to a considerable extent. It had been asked, 'What will the Lords do?' He answered in the name of the aristocracy of Eng- land, the Lords will conscientiously and fearlessly do their duty to their King, their country, and their God. To the King, whose honour and dig- nity it is the duty, as I am persuaded it is the earnest wish, of every individual who hears me, to uphold j to the country, in whose welfare and pros- perity we have all so deep an interest, and for whose happiness we should all be prepared to make any sacrifice which would really conduce to it; and ta that God who has hitherto graciously pro- tected our country in the hour of danger, and will still continue to protect us if we are true to ourselves, and adhere to those principles which are the best security for the national interest."— Ministers are now beginning to be frightened at the sound themselves had made." Lord Melbourne, in his reply to Earl Htfrrowby, admittetltlietlifii- culties that would beset the working of the Bill, and the DANGER of the MEASURE itself. Theseare his Lordship's own words,-H It was impossible to doubr {hat the measure was one of GREAT DANGER, but to admit this was only to say that it would af- fect a great and important change. It was also impossible to deny that with respect to the intro- duction of ministers and other officers of the crown into the House of Commons there might arise great difficulty under the hiJl." Here is an important admission from the Minister of the Crown, tha this Bill would create a difficulty that does not at prsent exist in carrying on the operations of go- vernment; and superinduce great prospective dan- ger. If this admission be true, why endeavour to effect this EXTENSIVE alteration in the machinery of the Constitution, if you are satisfied that it will not tend to its improvement? Why make wild work with that Constitution which has been the means, under providence, of bringing a greater amount of prosperity to our Isle, and has conferred a greater degree of liber'y and of security for person and property, than any other form of Go- vernment in the world? To say that it is perfect and incapable of improvement, would be absurd; but it would be equally preposterous to say, thai it is radically bad and requires remodelling. We say, renovate whatever defects time may have OC, casioned in the Constitution but touch it with a caution and circumspection befitting its transcen- dant importance. Let no rash orru'hless appetite for novelty or theoretic experiment, be allowed to approach its hallowed fzine but let every thing, which the light of experience has proved defective, be remedied, and we and our posterity may yet, beneath its protective shade, enjoy in tranquility what we would look for in vain under the new Constitution propounded by his Majesty's Minis- ters. If Ministers, it may be asked, are convinced of its dangers, why do they persevere in the whole Bill ? and why does Lord Grey say, that he will stand or fall by it >" simply, because he has no al- ternative between that course and retiring from office, which, to a Whig, would be worse than death itself. Love of place has ever been consi- dered one of the most powerful Whig instincts, and to suppose that our present Ministry would con- template with complacency the probable occur- rence of circumstances which would involve the dire alternative we have above glanced at, would be to give them credit for more philosophy, disin- terestedness, and self-dtnia!, than they have ever exhibited when sipping the sweets of office. Oiie thing is, however, pretty certain, that the Lords will throw out the Bill on the second reading, and that a measure more consonant to the wants and wishes of the rational part of the community,—more cal- culated to ensure public tranquility.-the stability and permanence of our institutions, will be intro- duced, should Lord Grey be induced to relinquish the helm of affairs.
