THE CHOLERA.—-This malady still continues to afflict our town but it affords us sincere pleasure to state, that an evi- dent decrease has taken place in the number of deaths within the last few days, as will be seeu from the following oliicial return: DAILY REPORT OF CHOLERA CASES.

Walters, of Orange-street, in this town, were severally con- victed by the Magistrates, in the penalty of ten shillings for the nuisance of slaug-htering on their premises.—Mr. William Jenkins butcher, was cal'ed on his summons, on a similar charge, but lie did not appear, and his case stands over for another hearing. \Ve were not a little surprised to see only two Magistrates sitting on such an occasion, to discountenance the violation of the laws. The conservation of the public health demands that the Act of Parliament should be put in force to prevent such unwholesome practices, the disgraceful existence of which we have in the dis- charge of our public dutv repeatedly reprobated. The Commis- sioners of our Paving and Lighting Act have erected public, and private slaughter-houses on a large scale, free from every objec- tion, and surpassed by none in the kingdom. Why then will the butchers not use them? We beg to call the attention of onr literary friends to a very entertaining Bagatelle," about to be published by sub- scription, entitled "A Conversazione," in fifty-two poetical ques- tions and answers, written by a young lady, who, as L. N., has occasionally favoured us with a few contributions to our Poet's Corner. We cordially wish her success, and trust that native talent will be stimulated and encouraged.—See advt. Last week, at a meeting convened for the purpose, David Morgan Lloyd, John Higgin, and Thomas Henry Davis, Esqrs. were elected Common Councilmen of the town of Haverforwest. A Board of Health has been regularly constituted in Carmarthen by an order from the Lords of the Privy Council and Central Board of Health, London though we are happy to hear that no case of cholera has hitherto appeared there.

The Town-hall was decorated in the most beautiful style by fes- toons of flowers, radiating from the centre of the ceiling to the corners of the room, where four fir trees were placed to receive them, and again from tree to tree around the walls, the festoons hung in the most graceful manner. The dressing of the room was under the direction of Mr. Warren, gardener to H. J. Grant, Esq., of the Gnoll. The fruit, flowers, and vegetables, were admitted by the most competent judges to be of the very first order. Al- though it may appear invidious to allude to a"ny particular pro- duction, all being so line, yet we cannot forbear noticing a Queen Pine, weighing about 51 bs., some bunches of Black Hamburgh Grapes of prodigious size, and a bunch of Lombardy Grapes (a berry of which was measured and found to be four inches in cir- cumference the long way, and three and three-eight inches in the girt), from the Guoll gardens,—also from the garden of Col. Cameron, nine varieties of melon, one a seedling of the Rock va- riety of more than 9ibs., and which was cut in the room, and ad- mitted by all to be delicious, and a curious double melon showing !i7° Per^ect when cut.—The varieties of the orange tribe from Margam added much to the interest of the show, but our space forbids our enlarging on the fruit or flowers, but the list of prizes will give a faint outline of the variety. At five o'clock several members sat down to dinner at the Castle Inn, and perhaps sel- dom or ever did a more superb dessert meet the eye than was served up on this occasion by the liberality of the contributors to the show.-The PrizePine of the Black Antigua variety, weighing 4|lbs., was at the head of the table, from the stove of J. E. Vaughan, Esq.,ot Rheola, a Black Hamburgh Vine in apot(from the Knoll), with eleven bunches of fruit on it, adorned the centre, and the Prize Meioirfrom Col. Cameron was at the bottom, with side dishes in profusion of muscat and other grapes, peaches, nec- tarines, figs, &c. &c.-After. success Lad been drank to the So- ciety and to Horticulture generally, the Chairman proposed the health of J. H. Vivian, Esq., who has been so active in the for- mation of the Society, which was drank with the greatest enthu- siasm. The healths of the gentlemen of the neighbourhood fol- lowed, H. J. Grant, Esq., C. R. M Talbot, Esq., and J. E. Vaughan. Esq. &c. &c.; and it appeared that every one separated highly gratified by the result of the whole day's entertainments. The Cafvinistic Methodists at Cowbridge and its vicinity were engaged on Thursday week, in praying to God to arrest the progress of the dreadful sickness with which it has pleased Him to visit our country. They commenced their pious work at their Meeting hous'5 at Ccwbridge, in the morning; about noon they met in their house at Aberthin and in the evening they again assembled at Cowbridge. It is to be hoped that this excellent example will be followed by all the churches. BRECON UNITED PRAYER MEETING.—(From a Corres- pondent ).—The Dissenters of every denomination in Brecon, En- glish and Welsh, devoted last Monday as a day of humiliation on account of our national sins, of thanksgiving for being hitherto spared from the ravages of the pestilential disease, to which many thousands of the Inhabitants of this kingdom have lately fallen victims, and of prayer to Almighty God to avert his impending judgments, and in the midst of wrath to remember mercy. No Chapel being large enough, application was made for the use of the Town-Hall, which was readily granted. A meetingof appeal was to have been held there on that day, but the Chief Magistrate kindly proposed holding the same at theTown Clerk's office. The shops were all closed, and busines suspended, and the day ap- peared as a Sabbath day. The first meeting commenced at seven o'clock in the morning, when the Town-Hall was nearly filled. One of the Ministers read an appropriate portion of Scripture, delivered an address, and gave out some verses to sing he then called upon other Ministers to engage in Welsh and English, al- ternately, and concluded the meeting in prayer. The next meet- ing was held at ten o'clock, at which there was an overflowing owli congregation, a vast number of persons completely failed to ob- tain room, and returnedhome greatly disappointed. At the close of this meeting it was announced that the next service would be- gin at two o'clock, and that there would be a meeting held in the lower part of the Hall, on account of those who would not be able to get admittance to the body of the Hall. So great was the excitement throughout the town, that the Hall was filled an hour before the appointed time at two o'clock the number of persons congregated was from two to three thousand. It wa.s then re- solved to hold three separate meetings, one in the Hall, which is a spacious room capable of containing about 1200 persons • ano- ther in the Jury Room, which will hold about 200 persons'- and the other meeting in the Market Place underneath the Hall. Th" services were conducted without any interruption to one another" and each place was crowded to excess. At six o'clock the at- tendance was still more numerous, many persons being outside of the Kail there were three meetings "held at the same time as at two o otock. Fourteen Ministers and Preachers, and several memoers of the respective congregations engaged in the devo- tional services. The immense number of persons assembled to getheron this important occasion far exceeded every expecta- tion. There appeared to be great union and love amono- all par- ties, and an extraordinary spirit of prayer pervaded each meet- ting. The earnestness and fervour of the people were truly astoishmg. Notwithstanding the excitement produced there were no indications of enthusiasm, but the whole proceedings were characterised by the greatest order and solemnity. Such prayer meetings have not been known in this country, and it is confi- dently hoped that many hundreds will have reason to say it was to us good we were there" and that The sweetness of that happy day, Our souts would wish it long to stay." THE DUCHESS OF KENT AND PRINCESS VICTORIA.— The Duchess of Kent on Saturday last passed through Carnarvon, to visit the romantic lake.and pass of Llanberis. Accordingly Carnarvon was all in the bustle of preparation to display proofs of esteem and attachment to the Royal visitors. A little after 12 o'clock the Royal carriages arrived in front of the Uxbridge Arms Hotel. It was soon perceived that the Princess was not present, and a feeling of anxiety pervaded the people to learn ')o the cause. It was soon understood that her Roval Highness was slightly indisposed, on account of the fatigues of the preceding day, and it had not been deemed advisable that she should leave home. After changing horses the party proceeded in the direc- tion of Lianberis, amid the loud greeting of the assembled in- habitants. ihe cavalcade stopped at a temporary pier erected for the embarkation of the Royal party, near the northern extremity of the lake, a few hundred yards from the ruins of the Hall of Lewellyn, where, tradition informs us, King Edward the First embarked to attack the Welsh, when thev made their last stand. Here her Royal Highness and suite filtered the boat of T. A. Smith, Esq. provided for their reception, at the stern of which floated the Royal Standard of Britain, for the first time since the days of Edward. The cortege was by this time increased by the arrival of a number of carriages from Carnarvon, which kept pace with the boat as it proceeded up the lake, and pedestrians of various grades and conditions lined the roads and rocks. As the boat proceeded slowly along, the Royal visitor was greeted by salutes from above two thousand rock cannon, a species of artillery which will require some description. In convenient parts of the rock holes are bored to a sufficient depth, and, being charged with gunpowder are connected by means of trains, so that, upon the application of a match, successive explosions take place, which reverberate in a surprising manner among the mountains. The Royal party landed at the ruins of Dolbadarn, one of the ancient British castles which guarded the pass, where they were escorted by several hundred members of the Benefit Societies of the vale to the New Inn, now called the Royal Victoria After partaking of refreshments the Royal party pro- ceeded to visit the ancient castle, and Mr. Smith's beautiful cottage on the lake. They then set out on their return by land, receiving as they went a thundering fareweli from the mountain cannon, which the llangciau Eryri (lads of Snowdon) had reloaded. It was the intention of the miners to seek an oppor- tunity of presenting an address to her Royal Highness, but they were deterred from it by the fear of being thought intrusive. I THE HARVEST.—The weather has been unfavourable for the harvest during the last week and the present. The early- sown wheat crop throughout the vale is nearly all secured in ex- cellent condition, but the late sown and spring wheat is still out. Some barley has been secured on a few early situations but this crop is nearly al1 out, Should we have rain a few days longer, it will be stained, but the temperature being low will check its sprouting for another week. A field of 18 acres, near Messrs. Vivian's smelting works, in this neighbourhood, has produced this year 22,456 sheaves of wheat. A single root of this wheat produced 27 ears, which con- tained 2052 grains. Several of the ears are above seven inches long. BRISTOL CHANNEL.—It will be seen, by a notice in ano- ther column of our paper, that the lights on the Nash Point will be exhibited on the 1st of September, and thenceforth be con- tinued. In December, 1829, the Trinity Board was petitioned by Mr. D. Propert, master of the brig Peregrine, of Milford, on the subject, who recommended" two tower light-houses, with fixed lights, placed some distance from each other, to lead ships in the night clear of the Nash and Skerweather sands to the west- ward, and clear of Breaksea Point to the eastward." The peti- tion, we recollect, appeared in our paper at the time, and we have now to congratulate Mr. Propert on the adoption of his recom- mendation precisely by the Trinity Board. The utility of these lights will be invaluable to the trade of the higher ports in the Bristol Channel, for, previous to their exhibition, every ship- master and his crew, no matter how experienced they might have been, were required to be on deck nearly the whole of a dark winter's night, to navigate that narrow part of the Channel, having strong tides and dangerous sand-banks to contend with whereas a single bearing of the present lights will enable masters to ascertain their exact position, and thus allay the anxiety of those on board, and often, no doubt, save from destruction valu- able life and property. A correspondent, who draws his information fiom a high source of reliance, asserts, that "neither Whig nor Tory will agree to a repeal of the Corn Laws, seeing that the country has already often suffered enough from being at the mercy of foreigners in respect to corn. That the Corn Laws will undergo a revision among the first acts of the new Parliament is unquestionable, but nothing beyond the restriction of the importation of jlour and some trifling abatement of the duty on corn will be the result since no one can affirm that the price of Hour is at present more than the working classes can accomplish. Would the speculators in grain quite destroy the farmers, and also the millers, whom it must be admitted are no insignificant props to the agriculturists, and reduce rents to a mere nullity? Puny Legislators indeed, and who have given but little thought to the quantity of adulterated flour constantly imported from abroad." THE HAFOD ESTATE OF COL. JOHNES, M. P.-This immense demesne, in Cardiganshire, which has been very aptly called a little Principality" by Mr. GEO. ROBINS, will undergo 0 the uncertain fate of the hammer on the 6th of September. This fine property has been doomed to a protracted and uncertain Chancery suit, which lasted nearly eighteen years; and shortly after its termination (two years since) the worthy possessor (subject to the existing debts), believing that at length, all his wishes had arrived at consummation, paid the debt of nature. The necessary consequence is, that the sale of the property must be absolute (with a view to pay all the debts) and the only question that has been a suoject of doubt is, whether it be desi- rable to sell the mansion with the valuable appendages, including one of the finest libraries in the world, the statues, original pictures, &c., together with the park, and about thirteen thousand acres of land, in one lot. A council of deliberation has been the consequence, and the result is, that the experiment of selling the whole in one lot will first be tried, and, supposing this to fail, the mansion and park will form a separate lot, all the farms be sold separately, and the valuables in the mansion by public auction. Gsorge Robins has said so much in favour of this little territory that, had we not read Cumberland's attempt, as he modestly terms it, to describe Hafod, we should have thought the picture a little too highly coloured but when we have the high authority just quoted, who tells us that, after visiting Switzerland, he re- turned to Colonel Johnes confirmed in his first opinion, that Hafod's scenery was at least equal to the all that had delighted and surprised him in that interesting country, we must admit that the picture is not overcharged. The-advertisement appears in our first page. On the 22d inst. James Sennan, a miner, of Dowlais, was committed as a rogue and a vagabond, for 14 days' hard labour, for indecently exposing his person, for the purpose of insulting Elizabeth, the wife of David Davis, of that place. On Wednesday the Lord Bishop of Hereford held a Con- firmation at Monmouth, when upwards of 100 persons attended and were confirmed. EXECUTION.—On Saturday, James Gammon, convicted at the last Hereford assizes of a rape, suffered pursuant to his sen- tence, at the drop of Hereford gaol. The atrocity of the crime and the acknowledged guilt of the wretched man, left no hope for mercy, and his just fate excited little commiseration: he had employed the time allowed him to prepare for the awful change, in prayer and the deepest penitence, and the humane and devoted attentions of the worthy Chaplain to the Gaol, the Rev. J. Garbett, were unceasing, and rewarded by the repentance and resignation of the object of his solicitude, who fully acknowledged the justice of his sentence. Very few persons attended the execution. At Saint Mary llill fair, in this county, on Monday last, there was a great demand for horses, which consequently sold well. Fat stock sold at ad. and 5^d. per lb. 2 ST. JAMES'S FAIR, BRISTOL^—At a meeting, consisting principally of the Clergy of the city, held on Friday morning, it was determined to memorialize the Secretary of the Home Depart- ment to suspend, for the present year, the Fair usually held in St. James s Churchyard, in consequence of cholera in this citv, and the probable-tendency of the collection of large masses of the po- pulation, and the dissipation which usually prevails on that oc- casion, to propagate the disease. The Board of.Health pre- viously memorialized the Corporation on the same subject; but that body, not being invested with the necessary power, were un- able to attend to the application BRISTOL ASSIZES, WEDNESDAY, AUG. 22.—Williams v. Jarret. — Mr. Danson having stated the nature of the action, which was for a balance of 511. 5s. oil a promissory note, Mr. Follett said, the plaintiff in this case was a currier residing at Cardiff, and the defendant a miller carrying on business near that place. In the course or business the bill was discounted by the plaintiff, who now sought to recover the amount from the defendant. He (the learned Counsel) had heard that two defences would be setup, one of which was a very serious one, namely, that the signature was not in Jarret's handwriting. From what he had witnessed in many cases in London, singular to relate, the Welsh were much in the habit of denying their handwriting. The fact was, that the bill in question was in the handwriting of a Mr. Harris who had sent it to the defendant for signature. to A witness was called, who distinctly proved that he saw the defendant sign the bill. He was sent with it by Mr. Harris to the defendant, and saw him sign his name. He believed it was the last week in July; he tffok the same bill oil the Ist August to the plaintiff, who discounted it, paying Ihe amount to Mr. Harris. Upon the bill being put in, Mr. Serjeant Merowether objected to its being received as evidence, as it was drawn upon a wrong stamp, being post dated. Mr. Follett.—That is another honest objection. Mr. Serjeant Merewether.—My learned friend says a great deal about honesty, and I shall have all opportunity of making all observation or two about that hereafter. The Judge.—Honesty, has nothing to do with law. (A Laugh. ) Mr. Crowder followed on the learned Serjeant's objection, and con- tended that the issue of the bill took place immediately it was put into the hands of Hanis Mr. Follett said, the plaintiff was no party to the fraud, if any were, committed, and if the plaintiff were turned round upon this point, it would destroy bill transactions altogether. He should be borne out by numerous merchants in this city in saying it was a very common prac- tice to post-date bills.' The stamp was correct according to the date in the bill, and an innocent holder ought not to be prejudiced by circum- stances of which he could not have had any knowledge. Mr. Serjeant Merewether ssid, his learned friend had not moved him from his objection. The isssue of the bill took place on the day it was signed. [This was admitted by the Judge.] He had been told that the party set up his own fraud. If it vvere a fraud, it was so christened for the first time. It was not, he submitted, a question of fraud between the parties, but the law helll, for the protection of the revenue, that a stamp in such cases must be of II celtalll vallie, It was no fraud of the delcn- I dant's, for Harris had sent the bill ready drawn, and Jarret had put his name to it. His Lordship said, however unwilling he may be to nonsuit the plain- tiff, he telt bound to declare the transaction void. He said this with reference to the Stamp Act, and without regard to the question of fraud or no fraud. Mr. Follett wished to have his Lordship's leave to enter a verdict. His Lordship said he coulrl not allow this, without kllowing if there was any defence to the action. Mr. Serjeant Merewether.—We have a defence, and a very serious one. Mr. Follett said there was no proof that there was a date on the bill when it was signed. The witness was recalled, and could not say there was a date on the bill when it was signed. Mr. Follett requested his Lordship to take a note of his objection and the plaintifl was then nonsuited. The point ruled by the Court in this case is calculated to create alarm in the minrls of all commercial men, for it is impossible to expect that bankers and otiier persons receiving bills of exchange in the course ot business, are to enquire, or can l ightly ascertain, all the facts connected with the creation of the bills, and especially whether they were signed on or before the day on which they bare date. The date on the face of the bill has been hitherto considered the criterion from which to judge the period for which it is drawn, and so governing the amount of stamp duty requisite. The subject is of serious importance; and on enquiry, we have been referred to a decision on the same point, which defines the law in this respect in a wholly different manner, and as we humbly con- ceive more agreeable with justice and convenient practice. The case of Upstone v. Marchant, I Law Journ. 1823, p. 244, and Barn. and Cress. itep, 2 vol. p. 10, is the one we refer to. The reporter's note is in the following words The time for which a bill is drawn is thatexpressed on its face, and therefore if it be post dated so as to make it in fact drawn for more then two months, yet it is sufficient to have the stamp for a bill payable two months after date." And the judgment of the Court in the same case was as follows We cannot go into an enquiry whe- ther abill was actually drawn on the day itbears date. It is quite clear the date required by the Act iMhe one which appears written on the bill, otherwise the greatest injustice would ensue. A drawer might post-date a bill by a connivance with the acceptor, and then, in the post-date a bill by a connivance with the acceptor, and then, in the hands of an innocent holder, who could look only to the date on the bill, it would be void for having a wrong stamp." This is a singular instance of the uncertainty of the law, so proverbial and so truly verified to the un- fortunate plaintiff. THE CHOCERA.—At Bristol, the disease is abating, yet (says the Bristol Gazette of Thursday) precaution, and vigilance, and assistance, to the poor, are still necessary." The number of new cases on Wednesday were 15, death 7, and recoveries 11, making in the whole 1046, and 422 deaths.—We regret to learn there is no mitigation in this direful malady at Gloucester, though every precaution is adopted, and the most judicious measures re- sorted to for the purpose of arresting its progress. Total number of cases 297, death 86.—It has raged with fatal effect at. Tewkes- bury during the last week. Since the commencement of the dis- ease 92 cases have been reported, of which number 33 have died, 29 have recovered, and 30 remain on the register.—At Worcester though the disease continues, it certainly is not so fatal as at other places; from the 18th to the 24th instants, only 8 deaths oc- curred total cases 155 deaths 39.—In Shrewsbury the disease continues but the cases are not numerous, and few of them ma- lignant. Many of the worst cases have been induced by poverty and want of due care. Onlv seven deaths have occurred.—The disease has made dreadful havoc at Bilston: the number of deaths from the 4th instant, to Saturday last, amounts to 450, ac- cording to the population, one in thirty of the inhabitants.—The accounts on Saturday were, however, of a more favourable cha- racter.

Tredegar Iron Works, Monmolithshire. Mr. Davici (says a correspon- dent) stood distinguished among Uis brethren and countrymen by the cheerfulness and equability of his natural disposition, the fervent and unobtrusive character of his piety, and the talent and affection with which he performed his Ministerial and Pastoral functions. He was a Juan of deep thought, of patient and cheerful reflection, which ac- counted for and justified the respectful tenacity with which he held his sentiments and opinions. Not having formed them hastily, and having considered attentively the various objections urged against them. he was not a man to be "carried about by every wind of doctrine," or to be affected at all by the subtle and sophisticating disputant. Few men exhibited more firmness of character in the maintenance of his sentiments, blended with more kindness and courtesy. He could welt afford to exemplify the suaviter in inodo in connexion with the fortiter in re. Of the Welsh language he was an enthusiastic admirer, and had acquired a very considerable acquaintance with its rudiments and struc- ture, as his writings evince. But lie is no more" to his family, his friends, and the world he liasentere(i the presence of the Saviour whom he served, an,1 hononredby the patient endurance of a very protracted affliction and who addresses his servants on their exchange of worlds, with Well done thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faith- ful over a few things, I will set thee over many, enter into the joy of thy Lord," "Och angen llywiawdwr lIawctnnn, A'i draed plyf, a'i ddyrnau plwm Gorchfygwr, crymwr gwyr cred, A brenin pawb a'r aned."
