SOUTH WALES RAILWAY BILL (No.…
SOUTH WALES RAILWAY BILL (No. 2.) On the motion that this bill be read a second time in the House of Commons on Monday night. Captain Berkeley said, that last year application had been made to the Admiralty for its assent to the erection of a bridge across the Severn, which the Ad- miralty Board refused, on the ground that it would interfere with the navigation of that river, and the intended bill was abandoned. This session, however, the application was renewed by the Great Western Hailway Company, which sought to obtain permission to construct a tunnel under the river, not far from the aite of the intended bridge. This project would, if completed, be most injurious to the free navigation of the river. He had in his hand a letter from the Secretary to the Admiralty, dated the 13th of December last, in which he stated that he had laid before the board the communications sent on the subject of the works intended to be erected over or under the Severn, and he was directed by the commissioners to state, that they would not consent to any bridge, tunnel, or other work which would interfere with the free navigation of the Severn. The commissioners further directed him to say, that they had not seen the plan of the tunnel, but they would take care that no tunnel or work of any kind should be permitted to interfere with the bed of the river. He (Captain Berkeley) had received a letter from the secretary to the same effect. It was also intended to cross by a bridge the canal which communi- cates from the Severn to Gloucester, which, if permitted would have the effect of ruining the trade of that city. He had no wish to impede the second reading of the bill, but he wished it should be delayed for a week, in order that parties might be certain whether the Admi- ralty would assent to or dissent from the erection of the proposed works. The hon. and gallant member then tnoved an amendment to that effect. Mr. C. Russell (who was very imperfectly heard) was understood to say, that he had received a letter from the Secretary of the Admiralty which would put an end to any further doubt on the subject. In that letter the Secretary informed him that the Admiralty gave its assent to the erection of the proposed tunnel, on condition that the crowning of the arch of the tulinel should be 13 feet below the bed of the river. Captain Berkeley, after expressing his regret that he had not got this information sooner, consented to withraw his amendment. The bill was then read a second time.
CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL. I
CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL. I At the usual meeting which took place on Tues- day last, there were present, Alderman Webb, (who presided in the Mayor's absence) W. Morris, J. G. Phillips, J. Jenkins, W. G. Thomas, Councillors B. Lawrence, M.D., E. H. Stacey, Job Jones, J. Adams, C. Brigstocke, T. Jones, W. Simons, B. Jones, and E. B. Jones. Upon a bill being presented for making certain returns relative to the Borough Gaol to the Secretary of State, Mr. Simons objected to its being paid, upon the principle that as it was part of the gaoler's duty to make the returns, it was also his duty to pay for their being made out if he was unable to make them himself. Upon enquiry, it appeared that the returns for the County Gaol were paid from the county rate, and not by the gaoler. The bill was therefore ordered to be paid. Alderman W. Morris wished to know the opinion of the Council as to whether the same anxiety existed as formerly for an amalgamation of the Borough Gaol with that of the county. The question would be brought on at the ensuing Quarter Sessions for the County, and the opinions of several eminent legal practitioners had been taken, which were all favourable to the practicability of the amalgamation. After a brief discussion, the Council unanimously resolved to prosecute the attempt to amalgamate the gaols. -t. II Alderman W. llLOrns, saia uiai m consequence oi- an Observation which had been at a late Council Meeting respecting the position held by Mr. Galpin, Clerk to the Works of the Market, with regard to the Council and Mr. Fowler, Mr. Galpin had written to the gen- tleman by whom he was last employed, and by whom he vras entrusted with the superintendence of a number of buildings at Kensington Palace gardens, the contract for which amounted to Elo,oOO. The result was that Mr. Earle wrote to the Mayor, stating he deemed it due to Mr. Galpin to state that he had known him for some }'ears, and that he had every reason to place confidence Il his integrity; further, that having engaged him about "'0 years ago as Clerk of the Works to superintend the action of the house in which he was now living, he found thIn. to be very earnest in the execution of his duties; ft during the progress of the work, Mr. G. made many Suable suggestions, most of which were adopted, and subsequently his strict examination of the accounts convinced him that he had held himself independent, both Of the architect and the builder. Alderman Morris said that his only object in bringing this letter forward was that as Mr. Galpin was desirous of standing well with the Council and the ratepayers and as from the important situation which he filled at the New Markets It was highly desirable that his cha- racter should be unimpeachable, it was satisfactory to have such testimony to his ability and uprightness. He trusted there would be no discussion on the matter, as Ms end had been answered by the reading of Mr. Carle's letter. Mr. Job Jones believed that the character of Mr. Galpin stood high in the estimation of every member of the Council. Mr. Simons asked if Mr. Fowler had made any report '11£ the state of the Works at the Market. Mr. Job Jones thought the Mayor had taken it. Alderman W. Morris believed it was produced at the Meeting of the Council on the Market ground, which Was very fully attended. Mr. W. Simons said that he had been too unwell to attend. Mr. Job Jones said he had been requested by several respectable tradesmen to complain of the number of Unlicensed hawkers that were allowed to frequent the town unmolested by the police. He was afraid that the Police were not sufficiently attentive to their duty. In Haverfordwest there was scarcely a hawker to be seen ln consequence of the vigilance exercised, and it was to be feared that silver or copper dust got blown into the eyes of our police and prevented them from being so Strict as they ought to be. Alderman W. Morris said that it was not the duty of the Council to look after the matter. Mr. Jones should attend before and complain to the magistrates who met every Friday in the Town Hall. As, however, Mr. Jones had cast a reflection upon the police, Mr. Young had better be called in to answer for himself and for his men. Mr. Simons said that he considered Mr. Young a very efficient officer, in fact, the most efficient that had been 1n the town for many years. Mr. Young was then called in and directed to be more strict in future, with regard to the hawkers frequenting the town to the annoyance of ratepayers. The Council then adjourned for a month.

THE WEATHER during the past week has been cold and stormy, while hail and snow storms have been of frequent occurrence. CARMARTHENSHIRE ASSIZES.—In our last page will be found a full report of the two most interesting cases at these Assizes, which were tried on Friday last, after °ur paper had proceeded to press. They will, we have no doubt, be read with considerable avidity. We under- hand that in the case of Pendry v. Thomas, a new trial "'ill be moved for next term. COMPOSITIONS OF ASSESSED TAXES.— Persons de- lirous of compounding for these taxes (windows ex- cepted) must send notice to the Surveyor at Carmar- then, before the 5th April next, otherwise the oppor- tunity will be lost for five years. CARMARTHEN MARKETS. We understand that the department of the New Market which is to be devoted to the sale of fish of all description, is to be handsomely fitted up with massive slabs of white marble, which will Present an unique and pleasing appearance. The market, It is anticipated, will be opened in June, and the en- trance from Lammas-street.. is to be proceeded with forthwith. COMMITTED TO THE ComiTY GAOL on Friday last, by George Lloyd, Esq., David Rodrick, for leaving J. Johns, Esq., Dolecothy's service, (5 weeks house of correction. -John LV[orga?;, and Thomas Morgan, (brothers), by J. E. Saunders, Esq., on suspicion of stealing potatoes J. Morgan, 3 months, T. Morgan, two months in the house of correctio7i.- Thomas Thomas, by W. Chambers, Esq., charged with burglary it the house of Richard Morgan, Pantybared, parish of ^lanedy.—For trial. CARMARTHEN PETTY SESSIONS.- lvtit. Daniel was c°Uimitted to the house of correction for one month for fitting the service of John Treharne, a farmer, living at Minke mawr, Llangendeirne. Wm. Williams, arnawllon lodge, Llanon, entered into a recognizance to keep the peace for 6 calendar months towards one James Evans.-Thos. Williams, Dderwen, Llanon, £ as fined E2 and costs for assaulting Evan Thomas, of yrynnis, Porthyrhyd. On Tuesday, three of the Inniskillen Dragoons sta- ined at Carmarthen, who had volunteered into the l'egiments about to proceed to participate in the con- gest of the Punjaub, took their departure by the hecnix steamer for head quarters, where their exchange III be effected. THE CARMARTHEN Fox HOUNDS had a capital run oil Tuesday with a bagged fox. Reynard was turned fjut near Mydrim, about 20 minutes to 12 o'clock, and one he was pulled down by the gallant pack. of SHIPWRECK IN CARMARTHEN BAY.—On the night °* Friday last, or early in the morning of Saturday, a rnack of about 21 tons burthen, named the Dove, for- merly of Douglas, Isle of Man, but now supposed to sailed from Ireland for Llanelly, in ballast, sprung It e k leak on entering Carmarthen bay, and when a little to lih northward of the second buoy, went down in fallow water. There were on board two men and a who had the greatest difficulty in extricating the a ?' but eventually they succeeded in their efforts .d got safe to Laugharne. The mate was serioufly j ^J. Ured by the fall of the jib-boom upon him, and lay for a considerable time in a senseless state. He re- ered, however, and the men then took their de- p V"6 for Ireland, having been very hospitably treated It L..gh.r., they being necessarily in a state of great dp ?n.tution. It is supposed that the hull of the vessel ? ?"?cdded in the sands and is not yet broken up; '[ ftl)  the masts and spars have been washed away U rn her, CARMARTHEN MECHANIC'S INSTITUTION.—We un- derstand that a'lecture on Architecture will be delivered by F. E. H. Fowler, Esq., at the Town-hall, about the end of the ensuing month. MONUMENT TO GENERAL NOTT.-A neat model of a monument to be constructed to the memory of the late Sir W. Nott, planned by Mr. Davies, sculptor, of Fitzroy Square, London, is now in the County Grand Jury Room. It represents a plain square pedestal, which is to be 18 feet high, and upon which a statue of the General, eight feet in height, is intended to be placed. We have no doubt the committee will receive numerous models upon due notice being given of their requirement PICTON'S MONUMENT.—The subscription for the re- pair of this testimonial of admiration of the gallantry, and regret of the loss, of one of the bravest men the princi- pality of Wales ever produced, having reached a sufficient sum to warrant a commencement of the intended alter- ations, it was deemed advisable to take the opinion of Mr. Galpin as to the state of the figure of the gallant General which surmounts the column. In his report, Mr. Galpin states that the first wet season followed by severe frost will shatter the figure to pieces." It is therefore probable that the present pillar will be taken down and a Corinthian column built in its place of the same materials, with a new statue of some durable stone. This will evidently be a much more judicious plan than to expend the sum collected in embellishing the present base, before the completion of which, it is not unlikely the structure may be without its principal feature. CHILDREN IN FACTORIES.—On Tuesday last, Mr. Brown, Inspector of Factories in South Wales, visited Carmarthen. After inspecting various factories, he proceeded to that belonging to Mr. Lewis Thomas, near Glangwilly, in which a child under thirteen years of age was found working. Mr. Thomas was, therefore, sum- moned before the magistrates on Wednesday last, and fined £ 2 for this offence against the Factories Act. INQUEST.—On Monday last, an inquest was held at Pensarn, near Carmarthen, before Wm. Bonville, Esq., coroner, on view of the body of Mr. Francis Evans, who died suddenly on Sunday last. From the medical and other evidence, it appeared that the deceased had died from exhaustion and collapse, in consequence of the excessive irritability of the stomach. A verdict waa- returned accordingly. The deceased was much respec- ted by all who knew him, and has left a widow and a large circle of relatives and friends to deplore his loss and to add to the widow's loss, their only child (a daugh- ter) which had been ill for some time past, expired on Tuesday. AN INQUEST was held on Monday last before George Thomas, Esq., coroner, at Woolaston, in the parish of St. Clears, on the body of Thomas Jones, aged 3 years, son of Thomas and Elizabeth Jones, whose death was occasioned by his clothes having caught fire. Verdict, Accidental death." AN INQUEST was held on the 25th instant, at Carregsawthe, in the parish of Llangadock, before Daniel Price, Esq., Coroner, on view of the body of Jane Walters, an aged female, who, having on the 23d. gone into a farm house to buy some corn, unfortunately lost her footing in going up stairs to see it measured, and falling down to the floor, was so injured on her head that she only survived four hours. Verdict, Acci- dental death." Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent attended divine service in the Chapel Royal, St. James's, on Sunday last. The anthem was Hear my prayer." Among the nobility present were the Duke of Beaufort, and Lord Cawdor. THE ROYAL SOCIETY.—The Marquis of Northampton as President of the Royal Society, held his third con- versazione on Saturday last at his Lordship's mansion on the Terrace, Piccadilly. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge honoured the noble Marquis with a visit, the Royal Duke arriving as early as 10 o'clock accompanied by Major Stephens. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Lord G. Lennox, Sir E. Bowater, and Captain F. Seymour, was also present. The soiree was extremely well attended, and among the visitors were—the Earl of Cawdor, Viscount Eralyn, and Lord James stuart. CATTLE FAIRS.—The Welsh Spring cattle fairs com- menced at Narberth, on Saturday last. The show of store beasts was a fair average one, and all were bought up with avidity, by the usual dealers, for the purpose of driving up to the English fairs and markets, at ?y high, and we may safely say remunerating prices. Fat cattle were rather scarce, they sold off briskly, at from 4d. to 6d. per lb., to sink the offal. Good horses and colts were scarce, those offered were all sold at high rates, inferior ones were also in demand at good prices. The show of sheep was below an average one, prime ones fetched from 7d. to 8d. per lb., sinking the offal; stores were also in good demand at high prices. The pig fair, on Monday last, was fairly supplied with small stores, which were nearly all disposed of at satisfactory prices. Newcastle fair was held on Monday last, and Cross Inn on Tuesday following. They were attended by the same dealers, and prices reached nearly the same for all descriptions of cattle as did also the pig fairs, on the following days. There were no sheep offered at either of those last named fairs. We congratulate the landlords and farmers of the principality, on such an auspicious commencement of the season, where so much depends on their realizing the means of meeting their engagements, &c. It is a great draw back for this part of the kingdom, that we have no railroad to convey our live and dead produce into those parts of England where they are consumed, and it is to be deeply regretted that the Welsh Midland in particular is not likely to be proceeded with this session, as it would have been by far the most beneficial one for such purposes. We have been gratified with a sight of Knight's Celebrated Engraving of the Waterloo Heroes, sold by Mr. Spurrell, agent for Carmarthen. It is a splendid production and worthy of the glorious subject it awakens in the memory. See advertisement.
PEMBROKESHIRE.I
PEMBROKESHIRE. I HAVERFORDWEST BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—At a meeting of this Board held last week, a resolution was proposed that the salary of the master and matron of the workhouse be increased from JE60 to E75 per annum; upon which an amendment negativing the original proposition was put to the vote, and carried by a large majority. On Monday last Geo. Sharp, who was sentenced to transportation for the term of 7 years, at the late Pembrokeshire assizes, for stealing a silver spoon (having been previously convicted) was removed in the custody of the keeper of the prison at Haverfordwest, to Millbank Prison, London. PEMBROKE.—A snort time smce a parcelfis for- warded by Messrs. Biddulph and Co., Bankers, of this place through the Post-office, to their correspondents in London; containing provincial bank notes to the amount of E60, and bills of exchange for upwards of E200, but which parcel never reached its destination. The Post-master here affirms that the parcel was sent by mistake to Haverfordwest, whilst the clerk at the post-office of the latter place alleges that it did not arrive there. The numbers of the notes were taken at the bank, and one of the missing notes made its appearance last week. As, however, the matter is in- volved in great mystery, and is in course of investiga- tion, we shall refrain from making any remarks at present, further than expressing our hope that the result may establish the innocence of the individual who appears to be the suspected party. PEMBROKE DOCK BARRACKS.-A detachment of the 37th Regiment, under the command of Lieut. Stavely, took possession of the New Barracks, on the 17th inst., for the purpose of getting them in order, as several companies are expected in shortly. MECHANICS' BALL. On Friday evening last, a Tradesmens' and Mechanics' Ball took place at the Clarence Hotel, Pembroke Dock, which was attended by a numerous and respectable party, who tripped on the light fantastic toe" with great zeal, and in a style that could not fail to be admired. The stewards were Mr. Luff, Mr. Pattick, and Mr. Boyce, who were most assi- duous in their exertions to render the entertainment as agreeable as possible, and if we may judge from the expression of every countenance, we may safely conclude that their object was fully realized. The refreshments provided by the worthy host, Mr. G. T. Husband, were composed of everything that could be desired, and were served up in a first rate manner, to which ample justice was done by the company. At a late hour the party separated, highly gratified with the proceedings of the night. SUICIDE AT PEMBROKE.—Considerable sensation was created here on Monday last, by a rumour that a man of the name of John Rees, a-blacksmith, had committed suicide by cutting his throat, which proved to be too true. Immediately on his being discovered, medical assistance was procured, but without avail, as he died shortly afterwards. SURGICAL OPERATION.—On Monday last, the wife of Benjamin Mortimer, n tailor, residing at Portfield, near Haverfordwest, who was afflicted with the scrofula in one of her legs, underwent the operation of amputation of the affected limb, which was skilfully performed by J. T. Evans, Esq., surgeon, Haverfordwest, in the pre- sence of several other medical practitioners. We regret to add that the unhappy patient died a few hours after the operation had been performed. SURVEYOR OF TAXES.—A gentleman named Haworth, from Conwil, has been appointed surveyor of taxes for the county of Pembroke, in the room of the late Mr. James Morris, deceased. TENBY STEAMERS.—We are happy to inform the friends of Capt. Jackson, that his health is so far restored that he has resumed the command of the Phanix. We understand the Star has gone into dock to refit for the season. PROBLEM. The following ingenious arithmetical problem we translate from a German paper: A man had a certain number of apples, which he divided among three boys, as follows :-To the first boy he gave half the whole number and half an apple to the second boy, half of what remained and half an apple and to the third boy, half of the residue and half an apple. What number of apples had he, to make this division without cutting any of the apples, and without having any apples remaining ? DEATJI OF MR. JOHX LISTON, THE COMEDIAN.— The admirers of histrionic excellence will learn with regret that this matchless disciple of Momus has shuffled off this mortal coil," at the age of 69, having been born in the year 1766, in the parish of St. Ann s Soho. His death took place on Sunday last, at his house, George-terrace, Knightsbridge. His name is associated with the brightest recollections of the British drama, when Kemble, Young, Cook, Emery, Johnstone, C. Kemble, Fawcett, Mrs. Siddons, Miss O'Neil, Mrs. Dickins, Miss Stephens, Mrs. Gibbs, and a host of others, shed lubtic on the boards of Covcut garden Theatre. SOUTH WTALES RAILWAY.—The following is aropy of a letter received from the Secretary of the South Wales Railway, yesterday morning:- "South Wales Railway Office, 449, West Strand, London, 24th March, 1846. "SIR,—I am favoured with your letter of the 21st instant. The South Wales line is so extensive that it is quite out of my power to say at what time the works on the several parts of it will be commenced, but due notice wi 11 be given to all parties interested in the land through which the line passes. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "N. ARMSTRONG, Secretary." To Mr. Thos. Davies, Castle-Square, Fishguard."
CARDIGANSHIRE.I
CARDIGANSHIRE. I ABERYSTWITH, MARCH 21.-Three sloops attempted to come in, but the wind being short and very strong, they were obliged to put about and run for Aberdovey. The sloop Venus of Aberdovey in attempting to run in struck on the bar, and is expected shortly to become a wreck. ABERYSTWITH RAILWAY.—Though the" Crewe" Railway Bill has passed the second reading, it is not expected that its turn will arrive to go in to committee until after Easter. From the latest intelligence received at Aberystwith, its prospects are in every respect the most flattering.
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN THE…
THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN THE PRINCIPALITY. (From our Aberystwith Correspondent). I The claim of the Welsh for a government provision for education, is grounded upon the basis of absolute and immediate justice. It must not be confounded with that moral claim to education which it possesses in common with the rest of the kingdom with a view of being happier men and better subjects; the Welsh have amuch stronger claim -they do not understand the language of their laws. The terms of. their submission to.the English go- vernment is written in a foreign language, and I maintain that according to every principle of justice and equity, the Welsh have an irrefragable right upon that govern- ment to be taught the language in which their laws are written. But the strength of this claim upon government forms no excuse for the apathy which exists among the Welsh themselves in not agitating for the purpose of en- forcing their claim. The Welsh members are blamed; but before blaming them, the people should ask them- selves-whethei- they have done their duty ? Where are the public meetings Where are the petitions to enable the Welsh Members to demand of Parliament either that our laws shall be written and administered in-Welsh, or that a state provision shall'be made to educate the Welsh in the English language; or that we shall be governed by a language we understand. Until such petitions are sent from every corner of the Principality. I cannot see how we can well blame our representatives, or find much fault with the government for doing nothing when we give them the example by doing nothing ourselves. At the bottom of all this extraordinary apathy may be a feeling that to petition Parliament for English schools is by a side-wind to destroy the Welsh language. But horo destroy it ? What is to prevent you from speaking both languages ? By all means speak and venerate the Welsh, but you must be perfectly aware that if you speak nothing else you must be a hewer of wood and drawer of water", a mere clod-hopper all your life. We want you to give up nothing, but to add the English to your Welsh; and then instead of being inferior to the Englishman you will be his superior for he has only one language, while you will then have two. The subject is a most important one to Wales, and it is to be hoped that the number of pe- titions that will be sent to back Mr. Williams will con- vince government that the Welsh are sufficientlyadvanced in civilization as to be desirous to learn English.
-GLAMORGANSHIRE.
GLAMORGANSHIRE. COMMISSIONS SIGNED BY THE LORD LIEUTENANT OF THE COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN.—Richard Bassett, Esq.; Henry Austin Bruce, Esq.; William Meyrick, Esq.; Thomas Powell, Esq.; and Evan Williams, Esq., to be Deputy Lieutenants. YORK PLACE SUNDAY SCHOOL, SWANSFA.-The anniversary services in connexion with this school were held on Sunday last. In the morning, at eleven, the Children were examined; and at six a sermon was preached by the Rev. D. Evans, in aid of the funds of the schools. The collections amounted to £4 12s. 2d. SWANSEA SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION.—-A public meeting in connexion with this society was held at Castle-street Chapel, on Monday evening last, the Rev. W. Jones, in the chair. The meeting was held for the purpose of ascertaining the practicability of extending the usefulness of sabbath schools, and calling on the friends of religion to make renewed efforts for their advancement. The secretary, Mr. William Davies, Draper, having read the report, the meeting was ad- dressed by the Revs. Messrs. Evans, Jacob, Howell, J. S. Hughes, Parry, Davies, Dodd, and Mr. David Lewis, Schoolmaster. Suggestions ofa highly important and practicable character were offered by the Rev. Mr. Howell, and also by the Rev. Mr. Hughes, who ad- dressed the meeting in a very able manner in Welsh, and which suggestions, if carried into effect, will add in no small degree to the usefulness of sabbath schools. The meeting which was very numerously attended, separated about ten o'clock. SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—Last week a hen, the pro- perty of H. B. Marriot, Esq., Vale of Neath Brewery, was sitting on duck's eggs for the fifth week, being a week more than the usual period Mr. Marriot's son thinking they were not good eggs threw them into the canal. It being a windy day they were all blown into a corner together, and when Mr. Marriot passed the spot in the evening, the hen was found sitting on the eggs in the water, and quite dead. CADOXTON NEAR NYATii.-On Sunday evening last, a man named John Bowen, going home in a state of intoxication, fell over a quarry 20 or 30 feet high. He now lies in a dangerous state. NEATH PETTY SESSIONS, FRIDAY.—Before Frederick Fredericks, Esq.; Thomas Thomas, of Aberavon, and his son, were charged by P. C. Jones, with trespassing in pursuit of game, at Aberavon, Griffith Llewellyn, Esq., Baglan Hall, having the rights of preserving the game on the land in question. The case was adjourned for a week, Mr. Llewellyn being in London. Several cases were this day again adjourned in consequence of there being only one magistrate on the bench. MERTHYR POLICE, MONDAY, MARCH 23.-Before T. W. Hill, Esq., Ellen Mackivrigan audi John Mere- dith, of Pontstorehouse Cellars, were charged by Michael Brown, a Jew, with stealing from his person the sum of £ -5 10s. on Saturday night last. It appeared that defendant had occasion to pass over Jackson's bridge to the Wel- lington, and on returning, two young women came to to him and asked him where he was going. He answered, I am going home." They followed, and the girl in custody put her hand in his pocket and took the purse away. While doing so, he caught hold of a part of it, when she screamed out Murder!"—Two men then came up and knocked him down, and kicked him in a most cruel manner. He rose up and having gone about four yards, Meredith came back, knocked him down again, and both kicked him several times. He then returned to the Wellington public house. Serjeant Rees was soon informed of the transaction, and having made a diligent search on Saturday night and Sunday, but without success, he at length apprehended them at half-past 3 o'clock in the morning of that day, in a house at Penydarren. A sovereign, half sovereign, and two half-crowns, were found in Meredith s pocket. The above facts were sworn to, and both prisoners were committed for trial. LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF THE NEW CHURCH AT MERTHYR.-This interesting ceremony took place on Tuesday last, when the clergy having met at the Girls' National School-room at 10 o'clock, went in procession to church, where the Rev. J. C.Camp- bell, M.A., Rector, read the service in a very impressive manner, and the Ven. Archdeacon Williams preached a most admirable discourse from Exodus 25, 8. And let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them." Lord James Stuart then laid the foundation stone with the usual ceremony. The streets were lined with spectators. The Rev. W.

LETXELLS TO THE EDITOR. I TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN. Haverfordwest, 23rd March, 1846. SIR,—In Mr. Leach's letter which appeared in your last paper, he refers to an attack upon him which is said to have emanated from an esteemed correspondent of standing in the county of Pembroke," and to which he, as chief magistrate of "that county has condescended to reply. I feel myself called upon to repudiate its author- ship, for this reason, viz., one or two of the provincial papers have, I remember, upon several occasions, facetiously alluded to me as a correspondent of high standing, and of long standing, in the county of Pem- broke, and it is barely possible that I may be erro- neously identified with the correspondent of standing in the county of Pembroke," and therefore be obnoxious to the just indignation and contempt of a man, and a magis- trate, estimable in every point of view, and whose public and private character is as far above the reach of petty and malicious attacks, as it is impalpable to censure, blame, or criticism from the just and the wise. I deny the paternity of that letter, and I renounce the enter- tainment of one feeling, which could lead me to reflect discredit or contempt upon an upright magistracy, and more particularly upon one whose indefatigable per- severance, through a long life of unrewarded and most arduous and responsible duties to his country, entitles him to universal praise, reverence, and support. When it shall please Providence to remove him, or himself to .withdraw, from the exercise of his magisterial and judicial functions, and from the fulfilment of those arduous and gratuitous duties, who can fill his vacant chair ? Echo answers—who I am, Sir, Ynnr nlipdient servant, W. C.
HAVERFORDWEST JURIES.
HAVERFORDWEST JURIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN. Siit,-Believing that the press is a powerful corrector of public grievances, I am induced to ask you for a short space in your columns to refer to a subject which ap- pears now to meet with so much public ridicule, cer- tainly not unmerited. The matter to which I refer is the present state of the Haverfordwest Jury. Now, on glancing over the list it will appear that nearly one-half of the persons named as legally qualified to serve as jurors are in fact not so qualified, nor are they indeed qualified in any respect—and I take this opportunity of respectfully hinting to the parochial functionaries on whom the duty of returning such list devolves, and to the respected magistrates who have to revise it, the propriety of striking off such names, and to add to the list in future none but persons possessing the qualifica- tions required by the Act. Is it not essential to the good order of society-to the maintenance of the public weal, that the jury of our country-men who are to sit in judgment in all civil and criminal cases—many of the most vital importance-who are to measure out with an even-hand, justice to litigating parties, i and who stand between the crown and the felon's dock to see that the guilty are punished, and the innocent acquitted, should possess sound sense, independence, and good reputation f It may be asked, will the legal qualifications ensure the essential ones ? Certainly not, but who has not greater confidence in the integrity and judgment of respectable men, than in those who sit at ease over their cups at low pot-houses, and there canvass the merits and deme- rits of the case, and others equally disreputable, who having regard neither to truth or justice, are at once actuated by feelings of sympathy for their favorite party, and thus decide on their verdict before they have entered the box, or listened to a particle of evidence ? To gain their purpose would seem their only object even at the sacrifice of—I was going to say—their reputation, but alas they fear not the loss of any thing so valuable, for like the thimbleriggers at a merrymaking, they have nothing to lose. It has been properly remarked that many are the strange verdicts which have proceeded from a Haverfordwest jury," but at the last assizes they excelled thentselves"-tliis at first sight would strike an honest man with indignation, but on cool reflection there is something encouraging. in the latter part,, for* one is ready to believe that they have now arrived at their acme, and that ere long A change will come o er the spirit of their dream." I cannot close my letter without giving publicity to a fact-a rich specimen of common sense-too rich to be withheld from the public gaze, and which will speak well for the worthy juror when he cannot speak for himself- one of thp good-natured fellows who sat on the town pro- secution at the last assizes, on being asked to account for his apparently strange verdict, seriously but unwittingly replied, that he acted on the principles of Sir Robert Peel-11- Free-trade over the nation, let all be free" were the words he uttered. This is certainly carrying out free-trade a. little farther than its originators intended. Trusting, Sir, that ere long the jury list will be pro- perly scrutinized; and that it will afterwards contain but few men in whom the public can have no confidence, and that the jury of Haverfordwest will no longer deserve the derision which a host of the present jurors so richly merit. I have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, Haverfordwest, ',Nfarch 2.5tli,- 1816. A. I Haverfordwest, ;March 25th, 1846. A. I
PUBLIC EDUCATION. I
PUBLIC EDUCATION. I To the Editor of the Welshman. I SIR,—It is well the hon. member for Coventry has con- tributed his efforts.to the great cause of the public educa- tion of the people, having no doubt witnessed the melan- choly absence of it in this his native county. The cultivation of the general mind ought to be one of the foremost public -duties of an enlightened government. Until the public mind be elicited, we are, and ever will be, quite in the dark as to the mental wealth of the country. Many a Watt, and a Brunei, a Pope, a Byron, and a Scott, or a Junius, a Cobbett, a Denman, a Peel, and a Cobden may have been, may now be running about rollicking in emulative and inventive mischief, in recklessness and raggedness about our streets and lanes, our roads and byeways. Public education is indispensa- ble to public morals and elevated principles—to the dis- pensation of public j nst:e-to public and state economy, and to the due disclosure of the public mind. What for instance upon a small scale, and as a case in point hap- pening at the fitting time, what can we expect from the intelligence or acquirements of accountants or jurymen or public officers, such as a copy of the notice which follows denotes ? The notice was posted & published on the church door of a parish at a fashionable watering place, about seven miles from Carmarthen and four from my castle, not longer ago than Sunday morning last, and is now in my possession :— "To the Rate Paiors of the parish of Saint Ishiiiall- This is to Notice that a Parish Mating will be Held on Fraiday the 27th Day of this month at the Ilower of Eleven of the Clock in the fore Noon at Llansaint Chapel for the Porpases of Ficksng New Overseers and to settle other parish Bisnes—Evan S Edward G. Overseers, Thos. H. Dd. T. Churchicars—Dated this 21 Day of Marih, 1846." I hope ere very long, particularly if the public press take the matter up; to see juvenile instruction as com- mon as that of adult; and a board of public instruction established as part of the government. We are in pro- cess of entering fresh paths of practical science, and why may not the rising mind be brought out to assist its progression? Science and education are as yet I would presume to opine but in their swaddling clothes, which sinister influences and ill-omened predictions may retard but cannot thwart. I remain, Mr. Editor. vours truly, I Ar SIENCYN. Cydweli Castle, Lady Day, 1846. A.p SIEXCY.

f BRECONSHIRE ASSIZES.
f BRECONSHIRE ASSIZES. The Commission for the Spring Assizes for the county of Brecon, was opened on Saturday last, about half past four o'clock. The High Sheriff, Morgan Morgans, Esq., and a highly respectable company of the gentry of the county escorted Sir W. Wightman into town. His Lordship attended Divine Service in St. Mary's Church, on Sunday morning, when the Assize sermon was preached by the Rev. David Griffiths, Rector of Cadoxton, near Neath. On Monday the Court was opened at ten o'clock, when most of the County Magistrates answered to their names. The following gentlemen were swore on the Grand Jury:-Craivshay Bailey, Esq., Foreman; John Powell, John Lloyd, J. P. de Winton, Walter Maybery, D. Watkin Lloyd, W. Stretton, Penry Williams, junior, Esquires, Col. Pierce, and the Rev. T. John Powell, &c. In his address to the Grand Jury, his Lordship re- marked on the great diminution in crime in the county, there being only four prisoners for trial, and passed a high eulogium on the magistrates and inha- bitants of the county at large. John Morgan, charged with having been accessory to a forgery, was discharged by proclamation, no bill having been found against him. Thomas Hall, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with having on the- 31st of July, 1845, feloniously broken and entered the dwelling house of David James, in the parish oft. Michael, Cwmdu, and stolen certain articles therefrom. He was sentenced to 4 months im- prisonment with hard. labour. Joseph Adams, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a gold watch from the Castle Inn, the property of Mr. John Butler, and was sentenced to 12 months imprison- ment with hard labour. Samuel Bridges, was sentenced to transportation for life, for having been foun d at large previous to the expiration of a former sentence of transportation for ten years. There were several causes entered, but all except one were settled out of court, and that one was of no public interest. The whole business of the Assizes occupied exactly three hours and a quarter, and by a quarter past one o'clock the jury were discharged, the sheriff's men were sent home, and the town had resumed its usually quiet aspect. Within the memory of that most venerable individual the oldest inhabitant," Brecon has not witnessed such an s Assizes. s The contrast between these and the Assizes of last year is strongly remarkable, as at that period Thomas Thomas, was tried and sentenced to death for murder, whilst at the present there was no crime of any magnitude charged against any of the prisoners.

A petition has been presented against the return of Mr. Cochrane for Bridport, on the ground of bribery, which it is expected will lead to Mr. Romilly being declared the sitting member. THE DIVISION IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS.—The general belief in the political clubs is that'the measures of the Government for the immediate reduction and eventual abolition of the duty on foreign corn, will be carried in the House of Lords by a majority of 25 or 30.- Observer. DREADFUL FIRE AND Loss OF LirE.-Oil Monday morning a fire broke out upon the premises belonging to Mr. Simpson, chemist, No. 77, Crawford-street, Mary- lebone. Assistance was promptly at hand, and fire escapes were fixed to the premises. As this was going on, a female, apparently about 45 years of age, suddenly approached one of the front windows, and threw herself into the street. She fell on her back and head. The poor creature was picked up, but she so was dreadfully inj ured that the only thing she could say was, Oh, my poor children are in the house." This becoming known, the conducter of the escape ran up the machine in the expectation of being enabled to save the parties in the place. When, however, he had got upon the top of the escape, a sort of explosion occurred in the shop, which blew the shutters off, and the flames rushing through set the escape in a blaze. The poor man attempted to slide down the canvass bag, when he fell through the hole made by the action of the fire. Falling upon his head he received a serious, if not fatal, injury to the skull. The female and the man were promptly removed to the hospital. After the fire had been extinguished, the bodies of Mr. Batters (the husband of the female before mentioned) and his three children were found quite suffocated. APPALLING AFFAIR.—On Friday last, as some per- sons were engaged in clearing a barn near East Paul, in the parish of Chivelstone, they found the body of a woman which had been mutilated by rats. The face and the breast was disfigured in a most shocking manner. it appears mai me ueceaseu person was tne granu- daughter of one Philip Elliott, formerly of Chivelstone, who died at Brixham some months ago. The poor creature was in consequence deprived of her only earthly friend, and was returning to her own place, when, from fatigue, she was unable to proceed further than the barn, near which she was met by a person named Crimp. The deceased was at the time carrying her shoes, being unable to walk with them any longer. A post mortem examination of the body took place, when it was found that deceased died from exhaustion and inanition, there being nothing of aliment found in the stomach. Report states that she made application for relief to a certain parish, but was refused. Inquiry will be made, and if this is found to be the case, the parties shall nor escape the punishment due to their conduct.— Western Times. THE CHAMPIONSHIP.—A letter has been received by Burn from Bendigo (William Thompson), wherein he formally accepts Caunt's challenge to meet him for EI,000, time, &c., to be settled by their respective backers. The money for any amount of deposit is ready at Burn's. Bendigo will be in town in a week or so in propria persona, and expresses a hope that no cavil will prevent a fair issue, and that the best man may win.Globe. A HINT IN GARDENING.—If brewers' fresh grains be put down in handfulls here and there about the gar- den borders on mild nights, they will soon be covered with slugs, which can readily be destroyed by a dusting of powdered quicklime or salt. THE KING OF HANOVER ON MARRIAGE.—His Ma- jesty has just issued a most arbitrary order to the army, which has excited the just indignation of all the young ladies in the land. No officer is allowed to marry until he is 25 years of age-he must not marry without the king's permission—he must not marry unless his bride's pedigree is as good as his own—he must not marry un- less he can post so much cash-he must not marry unless his commanding officer can testify to his being a good housekeeper. "THE DUKE" AND "NO MISTAKE."—A Dr. Orpen has, it seems, been publishing some plan relative to the payment of the national debt, by government taking in hand the working of all, the railroads in the kingdom. Amongst others to whom he wrote on the subject was the Duke of Wellington his Grace's reply is perhaps the best that has yet appeared, as it certainly is one of the most cliaracterisric. Here it is:—"London, No- vember 7, 1845.—F. M. the Duke of Wellington pre- sents his compliments to Dr. Orpen; he has received his letter. The Duke has no relation with any railroad, and declines to interfere, in any manner, in their con- cerns. lIe entreats Dr. Orpen to communicate his opinions to any other individual in the community, whom he pleases to select. lIe cannot address one who is more determined than the Duke not to interfere in affairs over which he has no control." A PRIEST'S CURSP,At the Carrickfergus assizes, on Friday last, a case was tried, Charles M'Laughlin v. the Rev. Luke Walsh, P P., which excited a great deal of interest. It appeared that the plaintiff is a miller, of the Roman Catholic persuasion, but being a very intelligent and amiable man, he was in the habit of reading an Irish bible to his poor neighbours, who only spoke that language. The priest of the parish, the defendant, Father Luke Walsh, was offended at this, and told him to desist from his" evil practices." It was also proved that the defendant said he would ex- communicate the plaintiff and others, and that he did so, saying-" I give my curse, and God's curse, on all who salute them on the road, or eat at the same table, or work in the same field with them defendant then turned and blew out the candles, rang a bell, and closed a book which was lying opcn on the altar; the congre- gation shortly after broke up. It was contended for the defence, that the defendant had alright to excom- municate the plaintiff for contumacious conduct, he being a Roman Catholic. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages £ 70 and 6d. costs. MARCH OF INTELLECT.—A person called upon the wife of a labourer in Taunton the other day, and asked some questions respecting her son, and was informed that he had been sent to a Boarding School." On further inquiry it was ascertained that the young gentle- man was a pupil in Wilton gaol! WESLEY'S WIFE.—Wesley's domestic life was not happy. When about fifty years old, he contracted a marriage with Mrs. Vizelle, a widow of independent fortune having first agreed with her, that he should not preach one sermon or travel one mile the less on that account. His constant journeys were, no doubt, a heavy sacrifice to duty; but the lady kindly made it as light as possible, by allowing him no peace at home. Her temper was insufferable, and her jealousy equally positive and groundless. She is said to have frequently searched his pockets and opened his letters, and some- times ewn struck him and tore his hair! Wesley him- self, in writing to her, complains that she had tried him in numberless ways, laid to his charge things that he knew not, robbed him, betrayed his confidence, revealed his secrets, given him a thousand treacherous wounds, purposely aspersed and murdered his character, and made it her business so to do At length, without as- signing any cause, she left his house, and declared her intention never to return. Wesley, whose journal had previously been silent on her conduct, shortly mentions her departure, and adds these remarkable words: nom earn reliqui, non dimisi, non revocabo. Their union— if so it can be called—had lasted twenty years, and Wesley survived their separation for twenty years more. —Lord Mahon's History of England.
