7 r IN,l F- I -PI L JjTIWE l¥IEIRui]J NEWPORT, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1840. The Queen held a Levee on Wednesday last, which as very numerously attended. Her Majesty appeared 'igb and happy spirits, and most gracioasly received y? nobility, and gentry, who attended her court on occasion. Her youthful aud accomplished con sort !Uood by the right hand of her throne, and was most ur- bane and affable in his demeanour. On this interesting "^caskm a large number of noblemen and gentlemen pie- loyal and dutiful addresses of congratulation on Her "pj'esty's lateauspicious(alliance,from various parts of the r-ited Kingdom. We regret, for the character of the British Press, that fr"li incident has been eagerly siezed upon by the ultra Conservative organs, to give a colourable pretext for un- generous and un-English attacks upon her Majesty's feel, 10gs, and if possible to alienate those sentiments of de- toted affection on the part of her people, which were grounded upon the convictions of the kindly disposition %at so peculiarly characterised her in every one of those Nations of life in which she has appeared. The most Celebrated, we may add the most illustrious of her Ma- tty's subjects, whose declining health is a matter of pub- lc regret and apprehension, was a few days ago severely attacked by illness. The circumstance was only through the medium of the evening papers of Fri ,<,ay, and the morning prints of Saturday, which journals "Onveyed at the same time, the consolatory assurances that the Duke of Wellington was rapidly recovering from the 'e*erity of the attack, and that by the perm ission of his me- 'cal advisers, his Grace was allowed to attend to public "siness in his library. ^The Queen is assailed, and unscrupulously charged disrespect and inhumanity, for not having sent to en- tire concerning the health of the invalid at Apsley-house, this occasion. Questions are peremptorily asked, and scornfully uttered, for this alleged breach of good N^"ers by the Royal bride. It is pompously demanded, ia^bat «an the British people think ? and it is arrogantly «atened to surround her Majesty by the moral influence' "Jore Conservative, and there/ore better qualified advi- *»s ^al 080 the people of England think? Why, *Tedlyf if they think at all upon the matter, they must «onv,nced that the young and joyous bride either did 'lot apprehend any serious consequences from the illness K ^°k'e Duke, particularly as the papers of the day, hi announce £ ^'s 'I'ness, likewise conveyed the graii- 'n^orina,'on> 'bat his Grace was progressing towards eSCenCe' or that her Majesty had authentic infor- atlon on the point, which rendered the formality of a ^^SOnal enquiry unnecessary. And with respect to the ioof*CfOU8 'reat forcing a malcontent party under the Royal dwelling, to perform those duties in the ^5* which would bring then) in close association wiih dornestic life of her Majesty, the public doubtlessly '*nd 11 as 'mP0,ent as >s insolent. The Qneen of En«. d(>lh ,s 001 now less able to resist the encroachments of a n^ty rieering party, who would surround her by obnoxious StoT8' t',an w^en determinedly opposed the Royal the 0 l^e demands of a Conservative administration, for f e'n°val of her early and attached fiiends. Nor are ^ted0t,rce an^ circumstances °f this new indignity, calcu- 5o0s: lo weal{en the firmness of purpose and alter the He 'ency of the Royal mind and we believe there can ^question o7 the sympathy of the Royal Consort, and S of6*! maiorily of her Majesty's subjects, with this feel- Queen, towards a party that have thus acted for ca| purposes, and have carried their hostility even 10 ^Person of their young and lovely Sovereign. ^!ctor'a ^as ascended the throne of England, her respect and kind attention to the Great Cap- *1^ 0 'he Age," have been most markedand flattering, ^il l* lo be regretted that the gallant Duke has allowed '° usec^» an(* ^'s unquestionably great influ- 1|0| 0 wielded, in the tortuous efforts for power of pir are not n'ce a'>out the means, so they obtain St h'S—P'ace an(^ power; nor has his Grace erincad Pell spirit of gallantry, nor expansiveness of I c,» for which the public have given him credit, in |liJ? ace in the House of Lords, pending the proceedings JL binary to her Majesty's marriage.

TOWN COUNCIL',—At A htastiftg of the Council °',thi. bortugti, tield at the Public Office, Charles street, on Wednesday last, present, the Mayor, Sir Thomas Phillips, J. Latch. J. Corner, J. Gough, Lewis Edwards, S. Iggulden, D. Tombs, S. Jones, J. Johns, R. Burton, C. Desmond, and Thomal Monis. It was unanimously resolved-that a loyal and dutiful address be presented to her Majesty on the auspi- cious occasion of her marriage with his Royal Highness Prince Albert, of Saxe Coburg and Gotha. The address will be en- trusted to Sir Thomas Phillips, for presentation at her Majes- ty's next Levee. Newport Monthly Market) on Monday last, was large for this time of the year, there being a good supply of all kind of stock, particularly fat stock. The average of fat beasts was full 6d. per lb., and in some instances, for prime, 6i.

The pig market very full, with an excellent supply of very prime Irish, bacon, and pork averaged from 8s. to 9s. pet score, a good supply of our own country store pigs, in middling- condition, and rather a heavy sale. At the late Levee> the Rev. Arthur S.

We trust, for the advan- tage of out friends, the working classes, that this state of things may !ong continue, and that the madness of the many for the gain of a few—that the stoppage of the great machine of ho- nest and well remunerated industry, to gratify the cupidity, or flatter the vanity, of a self-sufficient but ignorant cirque, who 'e prefer playing the fantastic tricks of political Charletans. to a course of legitimate labour* wiU b-0 tooger disgrace the Hill Country." The amount of gold required to pay the nume- rous workmen of Sir John Guest and Co., last Saturday, weighed 7 cwt. 2 qrs. 9 lbs. Henceforth the persons employed at the Dowlais works are to be paid separately and in hard cash. Sir John Guest, Bart., M.P., Lady Charlotte Guest, and family, have aflived at their new mansion in Spring- gardens, which Sir John has lately purchased of the Duke of Bedford. The Provincial and several London papers, have given very exaggerated accounts of the iron works and collieries in the counties of Monmouth and Glamorgan we have the authority of a gentleman who has visited the above localities within the last ten days, in fact, he has been at or very near each of the iron works, and also conversed with the government authorities who are now making enquiries, and the result is, that for many years past the men have not been better em- ployed, or receiving higher wages. The men employed at the Dowlais works complained that they wele paid in companies at heer-shops and taverns, by the agents, who were compelled to do so to get change. A few days ago Sir John Guest and his partners, gave notice that in future every man would be paid separate, and in hard cash. Many of the roller men are earn. ing from 50s. to £3. per week puddlers and and firemen, 25s to 35s.; carpenters, 21s. to 24s.; masons, 24s.; their labour-' ers, 15s. The colliers at Blackwood and Risca are fully em- ployed at 25s. to 30s. per week for, rent, including coal, they pay from 10s. to 12s. per month. A great many houses are now building in Merthyr, and more would be commenced bnt for the scarcity of masons those who employ them at piece. work, pay 2s. 4d. per perch for stone walls.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.-Last week fourteen men, employed at the Fleur de Lys colliery, got into the basket, for t tbe purpose of being lowered down into the pit, which is fifty yards in depth. They had gone down about half-way, when the chain broke, and they were all precipitated to the bottom. Providentially there was not one of them either killed or seriously injured, and in a shoit time they were all able to walk to their home*. TEETOTALISM IN MONMOUTHSIRE.—A meeting, fw the promotion of temperance, was held at the Varteg [ School-rooms, at seven o'clock on Monday last. At a few mi- nutes past seven the upper-room was full, and a great number of persons were standing outside; it was necessary, therefore, to open the lower room, which was immediately filled yet numbers were obliged to go away, because they could not gain admittance. In the upper room the chair was taken by G. S, Kenrick, Esq., on the motion of William Needham, Esq. The meeting was then addressed in a convincing and effective manner by Wm. Needham, Esq., upon the general principles of the society, and he was followed by the Rev. G. Jones, in a speech exhibiting the progress of Teetotalism since he b,. came a member it was then a term of reproach, but it was no", considered a most honourable distinction. Thomas Thomns and Rees Price, two respectable operatives, gave a very encou- raging account of their trial of three years' teetotalism AND the chairman closed the meeting by giving a summary of the advantages which a working man might expect to derive FR^M becoming a teetotaler. As soon as notice was given to receive signatures, there was a rush towards the table; each one seemed fearful that he should not get his name put upon the list, and for about twenty minutes the beat and crowd about the chair was quite oppressive. The number of names enrollea in this room was above a hundred. In the meantime, the chair was taken in the lower room by E.. Bowman, Esq., supported by the Rev. J. Lewis, and Messrs. E. Thomas and Jenkins, who pointed out so clearly the evils of the drinking usages of society, as to persuade thirty-four of their auditors to sign the pledge. The total number of signatures received this day was 144 but it is in vain to attempt to describe the interest a id enthusiasm which was exhibited by the meeting upon this occ a- sion. Though the speaking began at a quarter past seven, and the meeting did not separate till a quarter past ten o'clock, there were no symptoms of weariness the men listened with the same eagerness at last as at the beginning, and they sepa- rated, exclaiming to each other, What a splendid—what a glorious meeting we have had what a deal of good it is cal- culated to effect!" The next day showed that its happy iuflu- ance was not exhausted by the fervor of the moment, for thirty- eight more signatures were added, making in the two days a grand total of 180 persons, whose minds have been purified from the prejudices of early education and habits, or who have nobly set the example of self-denial that they may be the means of reclaiming the unhappy drunkard. PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO W.R. STET- TOS, ESQ., OF DANY PARK.— Dinner at Abergavenny.- Thursday being the day appointed for the dinner, at which the Piece of Plate subscribed for by the inhabitants of Aber- gavenny and the neighbourhood, was to be presented to this highly popular gentleman, the town from a early hour in the morning, afforded proofs that it was intended to afford a general and public demonstration of that respect and gratitude, which Capt. Stretton's conduct has won for him from all classes of the inhabitants. As a resident country gentleman, and still more as master of the Monmouthshire Hunt, he has conferred great benefits on the district in which he resides; and this merited testimony of public gratitude, must be grateful to his feelings, while it will act as an inducement to continue a course a honourable to himself as it is beneficial to the community. The day was delightfully fine, and the hounds having met in the neighbourhood, they soon found a fine fox on the Little Skirrid. Reynard was stealing away for his retreat in the Blorenge, when he was tallied by the gallant master, and away went the pack in full cry round the declivity of the hill, and across the meadows lying between it and the river. Having reached the bank, a little below the castle, Reynard boldly plunged is, followed by the staunch pack, and some of the horsemen, dis- regarding the rapidity of the river, and the piercing east wind, which continued to blow, dashed into the current, and succeeded, amidst the cheers of those who witnessed the bold feat, in reach. ing the opposite bank. The ramainder of the sportsmen adopted the wiser course of coming through the town, and havingcrossed the bridge joined their more daring and adventuruos com- panions on the Blorenge side. Alter a capital days sport, the gentlemen of the hunt accompanied Captain Stretton into town, where he was received by the inhabitants with every de. monstration of respect. The dinner was to have taken place at the Greyhound Inn, but so general was the desire to parti- cipate in the pleasures of the day, that there was not any room in the house sufficiently large to accommodate the company. The Town Hall was then procured, where a capital dinner was served up at five o'clock, by Mrs. Hickman.—Thomas Hughes, Esq., Coroner, presided, Mr. Thomas Cooke, of Hereford, vice, on the right of the chair sat the respected guest Captain Stretton, and around the table some of the principal members of the Monmouthshire hunt, and the leading gentlemen of this and the adjoining counties. After the cloth was removed, the chairman proposed the health of Her Majesty, which was re- I sponded to by loud and continued plaudits, and after the other loyal and patriotic toasts had been disposed of, the chairman rose to propose the health of their guest, on the mention of whose name, the walls of the Town Hall echoed to a cheer louder, hartier, and more prolonged, than ever rose within their circuit before; when the applause had subsided, the chairman proceeded to allude to the claims which Captain Stretton bad upon therespect and gratitudeof the inhabitants of Abergavenny, and concluded, by presenting to him a piece of plate, in the name of the subscribers, as a token of their esteem. Thill was fol- lowed by loud cheering, after which the gallant Captain ad- dressed the company, in one of those speeches which reach the heart, because they are the emanations of genuine and unaffected ( feeling in the course of which he expressed his gratitude for ( the splendid token of public respect with which he had been i honoured, and promised to pursue the same course which bin I won for him the approbation of those amongst whom he lived. I Seveial admirable speeches were made in the course of th«WFL- iag, and the conviviality wp kept up (ill late FOW, i PUBLIC DINNER.—On Monday, the 10th instant, a public dinner TOOK placi at the f(ingli WEAD IHRIJ litki to celebrate the hiarriage OT otir beloved Sovereip;II.

A niimber of other lbyal toasts followed songs were sung, and the rejoicing kept up with spirit and good humour until a late hour. USK.—VIOLENT OUTRAGE.-About one o'clock, on Tuesday morning, the 11th instant, Three persons vio- lently attempted to force the door of the Greyhound Public House, in the parish of Llantrissent, within two miles of Usk, kept by a widow of the name of Jones, one of whose sons being disturbed, he got up and went to the window, desiring them to go about their business; on ctosing the casement, a shot DAS instantly fired, artd ft balt lodged in the ceiling, lmmeoiately above his head. IN a shbit time, another shot was heard, and a ball, with a piece of cartridge paper attached to it, was found in front of the house. Two of Mrs. Jones's sons went in pur- suit, on the road leading to Usk, where they were deliberately shot at by two persons; a ball was heard, by one of them; striking the hedge, wjthih *,YA^ °F TH6 persons then took the direbt56ft 6f Usic. Two soldiers, of the 19th Regt., Stationed at Usk, named Muriay, and Lakey, are in Usk House of Correction, on suspicion, having been remanded by the ma. gistrates, on Friday last, and a reward of £100. has been offered by Government, to any person who will give such in. formation as shall lead to the conviction of the persons c'on; cerned in the said outrage, and a free pardon granted to any accomplice (excepting the person who fired into the house) who shall give the like itiforrtiatiop AT^D evidence; USK ASSEMBLY.—A ball took place at the Three SaliAons Inn, on Tuesday last, which was, as usual at these assemblies, numerously and fashionably attended. Among the company we noticed Colthurst Bateman, Esq., High Sheriff, and Henry Mostyn, Esq., who acted as stewards, on the occa- sion Mrs. Bateman, family, and parly Rev. J. Irving, and family, Llantrissent; Misses de Minton Capt. Oakley's fa- mily, of Monmouth Iltyd Nicholl, ESQ.J and f«[tiil,V J A. Waddington, EsqF) Mrs» Waddingt6b( ahd friends; T.

The room was biilliantly lighted BY tlirfeehandsome Chandeliers, IND presented A scenfe 6f unusual splendour, eiegafice and fashion. Refresh- ments were served up by Miss Prichard, with her usual aood taste, and gave general satisfaction. Dancing commenced at half-past ten, and continued with buoyant spirit until day- break. 3 CHEPSTOW.—FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Saturday evening last, about five b'clock, as a man named Edward Jones was walking on the gunwale of a trow, lying alongside the quay, he unfortunately fell overboard, and, although assistance was promptly at hand, the poor fellow sunk to rise ho MOITE ihe body was found the same evening, within a hundred yards where it fell. An INQUEST was held at the Hole in the Wall, before B. M. Bradford, Esq., Coroner, when a verdict of Accidental Death was returned. The detachment of the Rifle Brigade, now quar- tered at Monmouth, will march from that town about the 2nd of next month. On Monday week, the friends of the Monmouth Wesleyan Sunday School commemorated the day by bolding a public tea party at the spacious room of the new market house in that town. About 300 persons attended, who were suitably addressed by the ministers present. PENNY POSTAGE.—Many tradesmen at Merthyr refuse all letters that are not pre-paid wholesale houses ought to take the hint. No commmercial room is now considered to be furnished if not supplied with a letter balance, or a pair of scales, with a half or one ounce weight. By an act of Wm. IV. Overseefs of parishes are compelled to put up directing-posts in all cases where the roads are not turnpike, and not only are the places to be specified, but the distances this has been attended to near Pontypool, but in nearly every parish of Monmouth and Glamorgan there is sad neglect. About Merthyr this is very conspicuous from that town to Abergavenny or Neaih there is no such thing as mile- stone OJ directing-post: for this negligence the turnpike trusts and their surveyors are answerable for the penalties incurred.

NEWPORT POLICE.—THURSDAY, FEB. 13. (Before T. Hawkins, and. W. Brewer, Esyru) WATKIV RICHARDS, HARBOUR-MASTER, v. JOHN PASSMORE ROWE, for unmooring a vessel without the authority of the Harbour-master. Watkin Richards, deposed: I am Harbour.master of this port. On Thursday, the 6th of February inst., I was called upon by Alltridge, master of the schooner Aid, to proceed to his vessel that the had been cast off from the wharf, and was then lying in a very dangerous position. I went with him to the defendants wharf within the borough where we saw Mr. Rowe. I asked him if he had cast off the Aid he said he had. I told him I was sorry for it, as she had a very valuable cargo on board and that if the ship had gone one foot further, she must have upset. I also told him I should be obliged to have the chain refastened to the same post he told me if I did he would again cast it off. I told him that I should summon him, in order that he might prove his right to do so. I then returned to the vessel. It is part of my duty to see that vessels aie properly moored. The tide was a foot ebb, at the time I saw the vessel. Other evidence having been given confirming the above, the defendant was fined f 1. and costs, this being his first offence. John Walker, aged fifteen years, and a native of Law. ford's Gate, Bristol, was last Thursday committed by the Mayor, under the Vagrant Act, for one month, to Usk House of Correction. John O'Brien. for assaulting Michael Haggerty, was brought up on Thursday, but discharged—the case being settled by the parties.

BRISTOL. THE DOCK QUESTION.-Whilst the inhabitants and the council are differing about the precise terms on which the desi- rable improvements in our poit are to be effected, one at least of the anticipated advantages is likely to be lost in consequence of the delay. The Hants Advertiser of Feb. 14. says We have the pleasure of congratulating our town's people on the fact of Southampton having been finally determined on as the port from which the West India Mails will depart. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company have contracted with the Govern- ment for the conveyance of the West India Mails for ten years, at £ 140,000. per annum. The fiist steamer for the convey. ance of these mails will arrive here immediately upon the com- pletion of the first of the new docks, the works of which will be accelerated as much as possible, in order to accommodate her. Here iR another benefit dawning upon the port of South- ampton. We perceive by the London papers, that a meet- ing has been heid in the metropolis, at which several Irish members expressed themselves warmly in favour of the pro- posed pier at Fortisbead, as improving tbe means of communi- cation between this port and Ireland. Since writing the above, we have been informed that the Dock Company, on Monday, rejected the terms proposed bv the Town Council ol taking their shares at 2:1 per cent.—Bristol Gatette. A ball, in honour of her Majesty's nuptials, took place on Monday night, at the Clifton Assembly Rooms, and was very numerously and fashionaNy attended. The company, (which amounted to about 400) composed almost all the leading fami- lies of Clifton and its neighbourhood, as well as several fiotu a distance. Very large quantities of oatmeal have lately been imported into Bristol from Ireland the meal is peifectly dry. Now that the corn is so much injured by rain, innkeepers would do well to avail themselves of this nutritious food for horses.

HURRJBLE MURDER.—Bodmin, Cornwall, Feb. 9.— (From a Correspondent of the Courier.) — Mr. Nevil Nor- way, who is a timber and iron merchant of Wa.lebridge, left Bodmin about half-past nine on Saturday night to return home; he had been attending the market here, and J is supposed to have received some considerable sums of money, which he had about him. His horse, about half past ten,-came home without its rider, with a quantity of | blood about the saddle. An immediate search was made 1 when he was discovered with his brains knocked out, near the four-mile-stone, between Bodmin and Wadebridge < and pitched head foremost into a mill stream which runs I close by the side of the road. His pockets wete rifled, I and but Is. 6d. was found about his person. It is sun- ( posed that he must have been knocked off his horse with the butt end of a gun, as part of a lock of a gun was found] close to the spot, and there is every appearance of two persons having been concerned in it. He has left a widow i and eight small chIldren, and was a person universally 1 beloved. His death has cast a gloom over all the neigh- ( bourhood. The spot where the murder took place is be- I TWEEN TWO SMALL VILLAGES, AND NOT ONE HUNDRED YARDS FROM EITHER, AND ABOUT THREE MILES FROM HIS HONIE.

THE CHARTIST CONVICTS—FROST, WILLIAMS, AND JONES. PORTSMoufii, ^"rost, Williams, and Jones, arrived here this morning eärlJ, in ths tlsfc steamer, after a bois erous passage of thirteen days from Cardiff, part of which lime (ias, tfeeri spent, from ,the severity of the weather, in Wra. sombe, Padsiow, iflfl St.' 74es. They arrived in good health, but in bad spirits-Frost, in parlic'iJaf, having anxiously in- quired if the Queen had extended mercy to them Pn her mar- riage., Tfjey were immediately transferred to the York hulk, artd pf^ce^ in a ward by themselves, which had been prepared for the purpose, so il.'al tfcij may hold no communication with their fellow convids and though t'ney vste immediately clothed in convict apparel, they will not e sent on shore tc "ivork with- out further instructions from t, e Secretary of State's office. Under the usual regulation, however, of their letters being un- sealed, they will be permitted lief? communication with their friends j but no One, from idle ctitiosity, will be suffered to in- trude bil them.—Hampshire Telegraph, feb. 15. I CHEPSTOW.—Return of •'HE U^k Stkameh.— Arrived, at a quarter past nine this (Tuesday) rocrnirisr, 'he Csk, Parntt, from Portsmouth, in forty-four hours and a half, atid landed the troops that embarked from this place on the morning of Mon- day, the 3rd instant, in charge of the convicts, Fros', Jones, and Williams, who were, immediately on their arrival there, placed on board H.M.S. York, 74.—Captain Parfitt states that on Frost taking leave of him, he felt his situation most acutely; ahd virept bitterly. Williams did not appear to exhi- bit atiy pahicufar erhbtibh, and <va!keil up the ship's ladder with a firm step, and when on deck he gaieu vacantly around for an instant. It is to be regretted that Jones, during the whple of the passage, behaved with the greatest indifference— apparently quite careless as to his si'uation and, repeatedly, during the gale, when the sea was making, a complete breach over the vessel, he expressed a wish that flie would sink, and all on board with her, when Frost, with the greatest mildness reproved him for the impropriety of his conduct at such a time, stating flpt i; was not the fault of those around them, but their suffei n. oiiginated from their own indiscretion and when the former ascended the ladder of the York, he evinced the greatest levity, and appeared as going to a theatre, or some other place of amusement: on deck he turned himself round aud smiled to thosfe about him, ?s Well aj.to the officer and men of 19th, on board the Usk. Captain Parfitt says that on Friday, 7th inst., they experienced, between Ilfracomhe and Padstow, a tremen- dous sea, which carried away the binnacle, and nearly washed himself and another man overboard, prevented only by the net- work round the quarter deck.—We were mucli pfeased at the appearance of the officer and men; 00 landing they looked better than we could have anticipated, after such a boisterous voyage. Great praise is due to Captain Parfitt for his skill and intrepidity in the management of his vessel during the tempes- tuous weather, and for his kindness and attention to those on board.—A slur having been attempted to be catt, in some quitters, on the inefficiency of the above steamer, from the un usual liisgth of the passage from Cardiff to Portsmouth, it is but tight to add that in anything like ordinary weather, her voyages.are made with speed and regularity as a proof of which it may be mentioned that she accomplished the return, ftom Cowes to Chepstow in 44 hours. The statement In the Eietev Flying Pest that the Usk had put into Padstow, leaky, and that the prisoners were conveyed to Bodmin Gaol, is whoih unfounded.

NEWPORT CASTLE. To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. Sin,—Standing ou Newport Bridge to contemplate tl,e scant arni disfigured remains of the once powerful and handsome New Castle en the UsV," as Newport Castle was anciently designated, it was wir. great regret that I noticed the little regard in which the inhabitants < Newport seem to hold this hoary vestige of antiquity, Ptid the proltf source of the most interesting historical associations. As the Clients o the tide are strikingly apparent in the undermining of the base of t);, principal tower remaining and the equally ruinous power of the ove: strong ivy, throughout the inner wall to the very top. is manifest; n will scarcely require the gift of prophecy to foretel that the eve of it final destruction is at hand. It is difficult to reconcile the public fP: rit, that so eminently distinguishes this town, in other respects, wit its apathy in the present instance; involving as it dpes the preservatio of the principal remaining Jink of that perishing chain which attache it to the times of oid; when a comparatively small expense might rc medy the evil, and transmit the venerable ruin to the safe keeping ( our successors on this mortal scene. Among the many historical assc ciations with this castle, tbe following deserve attention. King Henry il. returning from Ireland, h!s army being amictedwit 4 dreadful distemper, which rendered his expedition thither usele3', Janded In Wales. Having made peace with all the princcs of thu: country, except Iorwerth, Lord of Caerlleon, to secure himself fro;, further annoyance, he now proposed terms of amity with the powerft chieftain; which were readily accepted. lorwerth set forward to mix the king at Cardie, having despatched an express to his son Owen, n Valorous young gentleman;" ¡!S Wynne ,desigJ,1.ates hijn, ,to join him b the way. According to his fathers orders, the youth ir. journey, with a small retinue, unarmed, and thoughtJcsô of <1eceit, n lying firmly on tbe king's promise of safe conduct and honourable treatment. On passing the New Castle on the Usk, thc Earl of Bri tol's men rushed upon and slew the whole party, except one or two. who bore the dismal tidings to the bereaved father. During the bloody wars of the York and Lancaster factions, OW2 Tudor, the cönsort of Catherine of France (formerly the widowed qUC01i of Henty V.), being It LaneaStefian, 1Vas taken prisoner by the parti- zanslof the House of York, and corifined In Usk Castle. 'JL'be flerl animosities and unrelenting rancour which characterized tliu tÎ1ll: convinced his friends that his life was in perilous jeopardy. His cousin John ab Meredith, with a hundred gentlemen of North Wales, unite,: together, with a determination of effecting his rescue, or perishing i i the attempt. So very judiciously was this expedition conducted, th. they completely succeeded ingetting him securely olf from thc of Usk. Intelligence, however, soon reached the New Castle l1;)()n t' (Newport Castle) of this daring feat, that the soldiers with their ('1" cers, who formed the garrison there, issued out in vast swarms, <1: having waylaid them on their return, their retreat wag attempted ti' l.c cut off. The triumphant LaneMteMBM, with their litefated c'i! were witfcfif two JI1Í!.es of Caerlleon, when the dreadful fact be""1" known to them, that they were literally encompassed by a superior !;>VL of their enemies. Conceiving the utter destruction of their small ;> c: y inevitable, John ab Meredith harangued his companions, to il1Ji'rL,< them with the necessity of at least making a graceful c.t iif it should be theil Jot to fall. Never let it he said by posterity." added the chief, that here a hundred gentlemen of North Wales flcd; but rath r let this place be memorable, as the honoured spot where a hundred patriots were slain in opposing an unequal force." Thus assumii. courage from despair, he so arranged his small detachment, by placin; the heirs of families in the rear and the rest in front, himself leadiij the van, that the result surpassed the expectation of the most sangui; among his party. The rush of the Lancasterians was tremendous rword in hand they cut their way through the midst of their enemies, and the whole party escaped. p.

WELSH LITERATURE. To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. SIR,—As a person much interested in the success and welfare uf Welsh Literature—though disabled by circumstances from taking th t leading part that I could wish in any thing likely to promote the bono r and welfare of the principal,ity-I cannot forbear asking whether, the inieresting account (which appeared in last Saturday's MERLI'J of the Welsh MSS. Society, the word Kengurt" is not'a false print I conceive that Hfingwrt is intended to be designated, for two reason first, that I never heard or read of any place in the principality called Kengurt; next, that the letter K does not exist in the Welsh alphabc and that the place called Hfngwrt. in Merionethshire, has always hee.i celebrated for its valuable collection of MSS., the property of Col Vaughan. Often having an opportunity of perusing your valuable paper, and always admiring the liberal and gentlemanly manner In which it is conducted, I trust you will pardon my naming one thhes, which might be improved and this a trifiein itself—would much con- tribute to render it unrivalled it is the evident want of a Welsh cot positor to correct the Welsh orthography. For instance, I observe in a Turnpike Meeting Notice, the name of a parish I once was w,1I acquainted with, spelt Manuthvsloin, instead of Mynyddyslwyn. N" the former has no meaning whatever-the latter a very plain mea ing, as almost every Welsh name has; and although, no doubt, the word was misspelt by the ignorant clerk who sent it to your office, yi t, Mr. Editor, were you to have such bad orthography in English, woi:M not your compositors correct it ? Would they, for instance, print Bri- tol as Bastile. which is not so much out of the way after all as making Mynyddyslwyn into Monuthusloin. Hoping you will excuse an old man's freedom, I am, Sir, your reader and admirer, A WELSHMAN IN LONDON. London, February 18, 1840.

ABERGAVENNY CYIVLREIGYDDION SOCIETY. To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. SIR, Please to allow me, through the medium of your-valuable journal, to inform your correspondent, Syr Harri Ddu," that t;.p committee of the above society decided, some time ago, upon the "Marsh of Rhuddlan" (Morva RhuddlanJ with variations, tol* played at the competition for the Tredegar and Ruperra gold brooch harps, at the next Eisteddvod, as published in the Seren Gomer f. r this, month: and that they do not see any necessity to deviate fiom that decision. That air was not selected owing to its being extremely difficult," but to its being an ancient and beautiful Welsh air, as ,f. Parry, Esq. (Bardtl Haw) testified, in writing on Welsh music in the Cambro Briton, vol. i., page 53 :—" To my countrymen, who are un- acquainted with the science of music, it may be necessary to say that Morva Rhuddlan and Davydd y Garreg JVcn, are in minor keys; and I appeal to their own feelings, whether, when they hear these plain- tive melodies well performed, they do not experience a most pleasing, soothing sensation, and whether a tearful eye will not often bespeak a heart rapt in ecstacy." And again, in page 95, he said, Morm Rhuddlan IS a sweetly plaintive air in G minor. The eommeneemC!1t of the second part in the relative major key, B flat, bursts upon lIS. like the last effort of the unconquered spirit of a dying hero." Those airs mentioned by Syr Harri Ddu" have becomc quite common in every musical meeting; but the Marsh of Rhuddlan" is not so com- mon, though a sweet air with good variations and as there is plentv of time for the competitors to practice between this and October, wc hope there will be no objection to it. Selecting two airs might cause some confusion. We had only Penrhaw" last Eisteddvod, and it went off well. I am, Sir, vours respectfully, Abergavenny. lEV AN AB GRUFFYDD, Secretary.

i&JEEN'S MARRIAGE DAY. To the J&ditor of the Monmouthshire Merlin. SIR, Knowing your willingness at all times to expose anything like wantonness, and, to say the least, ungentlemanly conduct, I beg to cali your attentIon. to an act of which I was an eye-witness. From a re- spectable shop in Commercial-street, a set of persons, wishing, I sup- pose, to be t gentlemen, were amusing themselves by annoying -very respectab e remale, who happened unfortunately to have to pas;. 3y throwiBg squiM at her; and several ladies, with whom I am ac- juainted, were y such brutal-conduct so seriously alarmed, that I fear in one instanee^^Tnay prove fatal. Such conduct, I feel assured, will »e highly you, and, I trust, by every one who subscribes limself, as I uo A FRIEND TO THE FEMALES. [We trust the foregoing letter will meet the eye of the (we hone roung and inexperienced; persons who were guilty of the unmanh jonduct alluded and we trust it will warn them not to offend in like manner again, it may be necessary, should such practices be re- peated, to indicate the o eaders by name.]

Her Majesty was escorted by a company of the 2nd Life Guards, and the distinguished visitors at the castle, with I er Majesty's suite, followed in sePfc-al of the rojsi carriages and four. Her Royal High- nessTtlie 21uclwss of Kent led for London shortly before eleven on JWday morning, attended by Lady Fanny Howard The Roy a.' rorffge was warmly greeted on the whole li ,f! oi road, and reached the entrance of Kensington at ten mmstes before i^ur o'clock, at which ttmeitwas nearly as throned as on i.Jonday se nnight. Every window was crowded, and the pav'eftie^t impas- sable. As it entered the H»gh-«»reel, the acclamations were long, loud, and continued. The carriages proceeded through the town ,t almost a walking pace, and the Que^n as they passed eac ) house, appeared toTtcoiinise the (to her) well-known f. ces of its inhabitants, returning their demonstrations of h yally and affection in a n.'H'iner which will not soon be effa ed from their memories. The accla- fnationswereeontiured throughout the progress ihiou^h llyde Park and Constitution-hi'l to Buckingham palace, where her Majesty and her illustrious consort arrived a\ ten minutes past four o'clock. Her Majesty will give a eeries of twelve State Balls at Buckingham Palace, the first to take plate the week aher Easier, which falls this year on the 2CKI) ot April. One of the most magnificent fetes which has taken place in Pans for a length of time was given last nulit in ho- nour of the marriage of her Britannia Majesty, by his Excellency the Earl and Countess of Granv.fe, to which npwards of 2,500 persons were invited, and at whwh at least 2,000 persons were present. Several families of the Faubourg St. German, who would otherwise have attended, were absent on account of the day heing he anniversary of the assassination of the Duke de Berri The baH-rc-nm and one of the saloons were crowded with dancers to tile music of two orchestras. The lawn, which forms part": die yarden, was tastefully fitted up as a tent, and, from i » opening ail round into ine conservatory, was a delicious letreat from the heat of the interior rooms. The eli-te of fashionables of all natic-.s attended this delightful fete, amongst whom we noueed iheir Royal Highnesses the Duke de Nemours, the Prince de Joinviijes and Duke 1'Aumale, Paince Paul of Wurtemburg, the Infante and [nfanta of Spain and family, the Corps Diplomatique, Mr. Temple, Ambassador at Naples; jjr.

Countess Cadogan and daughters;: Lady H. d'Orsay, &c. The omforms of the tJumeTOOS peers ol France, with the varied costumes of foreign courts, of officers of most countries in Europe, naval ana military, French functionaries, &c., added much lo the brilliancy of the scene. The French ministers present were Marshal Soult, and the Ministers of Marine und Commerce; weatto observed the Prefect, Count Ram- buteau; the new Ambassador, M. Goizot; M. Thiers, and other distinguished characters.— Otilignani, Feb. 14. THE QUEEN'S COUKT.—The Queen held a Coutt on Tuesday, at Buckingham Palace, tor the reception of the congratulatory addresses from the Houses of Parliament on the auspicious occasion of her Majesty's marriage. BOlh addresses were very numerously attended by Mem- bers of either House. That from ti e House of Lords was presented by upwards of sixty Peers. Their Lord- ship' arrived in procession at the Palace, at the minutes past two o'clock, and all appeased either in uniforms or Court dresspf- Lord Chaacellor came in his State coach, attended by blS Secretary and Pursebearer, and preceded by a Sergeant-ai Anns bearun the mace. His Lordship woTe his ?tate robe, The Duke of Cambridge came in state1. His llcyal Highness was habited in his uniform as Coionsl of the Coldstream Raiment of Foot Guaids, and wore the ribbon and star of the JVIost Noble Order of the Garter. The Duke of Sussex came in state, and wore a military uniform, with the start of the Orders of the Garter, the Thistle, and the Bath, with the ribbon of the Older of the Garter. The Fcfts were conducted on their arrival up <he grand staiicase to the green drawing- room, and, as soon as all were assembled, weie conducted to the presence of the Que?») in the throne-room, by the Gentlemen Ushers in Waiting, her Majesty's Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms, commanded by their Lieu- tenstit, the Hun. ward Buffer, Imm# tire rtefes of tire room. His lioyal Highness Prince Albert was on the left of the Queen; and the Duchess of Sutherland, JMJS- iress of the Robes, and the Duchess of Bedford Lady in Waiting, stood on the ritfhl of her Majesty. Tht' Oxbridge, Lord Chambetlain; the Lar, of Erroll, K.I., Lord Steward the Earl of Albemarle, G.C.H., Masterof the Horse; the First Lord 01 the Treasury, the Loid Pre- sident, the Lord Privy Seal, the three principal Secretaries of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial Depart- ments, the Chief Comrniss;c??er of the Woods and Forests, and the principal officers of the household, stood on either side of the throne. The Peers advanced near the throne, when the Lord Chancellor read the address of congratula- tion, to which her Majesty was pleased to return a most jraeious answer. Hut MA/ESTY'S LEVF.E^-The Queep held her first levee this sea-Ort, on Wednesday last, at St. Jaruess Pa- lace. Her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived from Buck- ingham Palace, attended by their suite, and escorted by a party of He Guards.

The Levee was very numerously attended, and a large number of congratulations and ioyal addresses oa the ioyal marriage, were presented. After the Levee, hft Maiesty and Prince Albert returned to B"< kingliam Pa- lace. His Royal Highness stood at the riti-ht hand ot her Majesty when seated on the Throne. The University of Bonn has conferred the debtee of Doctor on Prince Albert. The dry rot has materially injured the timber of the private apartments of Windsor Castle, and extensive re. pairs it is feared will be necessary. DEATH OF THE EARL OF MANSFIELD.—Lord M ns- tield departed this life at Leamington, on Wednesday :ast. DEATH OF THE COLNTESS OF HARF.WOOD.—We regret to announce this event, which took place at Harewood House, Yorkshire, on Saturday last. The deceased lady was the eldest daughter of the late Sir John Saunders Sebtight, Bart., aud was married to the Earl of Harewood on the 3rd of September, 1794. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—The metropolis was on Thursday the 13th inst., thrown inlo a state of the greatest anxiety and alarm by the prevalent rumour that his Grace the Duke of Wellington had experienced on the preceding day an attack of violent and dangerous illness. 10 this report, as is usual in such instances, there was some truth with much exaggeration and we are happy to be ensued 'o give such a statement of the facts as will not fail 10 allaý, if it does not wholly remove, the apprehensions of the public upon a subject in which they naturally take the deepest interest.—After taking a hearty meal on Wednes- day afternooni the Duke rode in Hyde-park on horseback. During this exercise his Grace was seized with sudden debility, to an extent which at fiist excited considerable apprehension. The cause of the attack is supposed to have been that the exercise of riding so soon after dinner had interfered with the process of digestion. We have the highest gratification in stating not only that his Grace was much better on Thursday, but that during the day, the improvement was progressive, and that towards evening his early and complete restoration to health was confidently anticipated.—Morning Post. The accounts respecting his grace s health conttnue favourable, though he has not yet ventured to quit the housp. The French journals of Friday announce the death of Marshal Maison, carried off suddenly by a cold, which opened an old wound in the lungs. The Marshal was a soldier of the revolution, who rose on every field of battle, tie commanded the French expedition to the Morea, and was created a Maishal on his return. It will now be seen whether the Court can keep its promise to General Sebas- tian), of giving him the Marshal's baton. On Saturday the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort accsm- panied by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, Lady Southampton, Lady Augusta Somerset, and a distinguished party of 16, drove from his Grace's seat at Badmington to Bath, in live carriages, each drawn by four horses. After dining at York House, the Duke and his numerous party honoured the Theatre in the evening with their presence. A number of workmen were sent in the mansion of Lord Ingeslre, in Belgrave-square, yesterday, to commence the lequlsrte alterations and re-embellishments preparatory to its occupancy by her Royr 1 Highness the Duchess of Kent. Colonel Cowper. the netV comptroller of her ftoyal Highnesses's household, had an interview on Monday with Mr. Cubitt on th§ subject of constructing new sta- bling, &c. The rental is 10 be £ 1,500. per annum, acd the mansion has been tyken pn leas? for a term of fowf years, <
