VIA A E li '1'() THE lEJi. IV, J E A7 6, The Rev. William Jenkins, late Curate of Ystrad- y-fellty, in the county of Brecon; preached his farewell sermon on Thursday last, to a numerous and respectable congregation. The Rev. gentle- man chose for his text on the occasion the 13th chap. of 2nd Corinthians, and the lith verse. The words are The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with you all Amen." In a faithful and clear manner he enlarged upon the general duties of the Christian Heligion his inferences were such, as could be understood by the meanest capacity, and the discourse will no doubt be long remembered by many, to whom Mr. J. by his piety, humility, and general deportment has endeared himself. After the service he was invited by the parishioners to a public dinner at the Village Inn, when Morgan Morgan, Esq. of Boedwigead (a native of the parish, and a Magistrate for iJie County), was unanimously called to the chair. About fifty sat down to dinner, consisting principally of the most respectable inha- bitants of the parish. Among the company were the Rev. E. P. Thomas, of Aberdare, Mr. John Thomas, of Hirwain, ill r. D. Morgan, of Merthyr, Mr. Stephen Jones, Mr. Jenkin Powel, Mr. Jenkin Walters, Mr. Walter Jones, Mr. Wm. Morgan, Mr. D. Powel, Mr. D. Matthews, &c. The cloth being removed, the Chairman proposed Church and King,—" The Queen, a pattern to her sex,"—" The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria." Then came the health of Mr. Jenkins, in introducing which the Chairman stated that it was unnecessary for him to give a history of Mr. J.'s life, as he was so well known to them all; but in justice to him, he was bound to say, that u in prosperity and adversity, in health and in sickness, he was ever to be found at his post of duty j" he then added, he leaves this place for another and a distant part of the county with a spotless and unsullied name, and with the best wishes of his late parishioners L Mr. Jenkins stated that he felt undeserving of such high encomiums, but was much gratified by the warm attachment on the part of his late parishioners, and to the latest period of his life, he would cherish a lively remembrance of the kind feeling thus shewn towards him. Here the health of the Chairman was given by Mr. Jenkin Walters, which was well received by the party present, and 31r. Ilorgan returned thanks in a neat and appropriate speech. After which the health of the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese was proposed, accompanied with a wish, that they may long continue to possess the respect and affection of their countrymen.—Mr. Jenkins got up and returned thanks. The health of the Bishop and Clergy of the Dio- cese of Llandaff was also given, the Chairman ob- serving that they were labourers in the vineyard," and engaged in the same great cause.-—Mr- J homas returned thanks —The two last toasts were warmly received by the company. Mr Morgan thep said, that he wished to give the health of an upright, intelligent, and indefatigable p 11 magistrate, who lived in their neighbourhood—he meant I. B, Bruce, Esq. of Dyffryn, Aberdare, who (although unavoidably absent) had not forgotten to send his contribution on the occasion.—Mr. Thomas apologized for Mr. Bruce, at his especial request. The health of Mr. Harris, of Treverig, and that of all absent contributors were then given; and lastly, the Chairman proposed Success to the Merthyr Guardian," emphatically adding, that warm supporter of the principles of order and regu- larity." The company separated highly pleased with the )u, proceedings of the day, and one only thought broke in upon the comfort and hilarity of the meeting— it was that of so soon parting with Mr. Jenkins, whose ready zeal and ministerial labours, during a period of twenty years, was well known to the majo- rity of the party that were then assembled on an occasion so interesting. Mr. Jenkins is now Vicar of Llangammarch, near the town of Builth, which preferment was given. to him by his Diocesan, Dr- Jenkinson, in consideration of his merit and exemplary conduct.

I It ON S TEA M-BOA TS. Vessels constructed of sheet iron have been sometimes tried in this country, but it does not appear that any essen- tial advantaje was gained by the change, as the use of metal for wood has never extended beyond the firstexperi- ments, except for track-boats on canals, where the lightness of the structure seems to have rccoinmendcil its adoption in some cases. In warm climates, however, the case is different; the superiority of iron over wood is thereevinced in many essential circumstances; and it is so decided, that, in the course of time, it must cause a total revolution in ship-building for these countries. The great changes, from excessive drought to heavy rains, which take place in hot climates, have a powerful effect in destroying the joinings and frame-work of the best built ships, as well as wasting their timber. Sometimes, during wet seasons, the rains pour down for days together, till the whole decks and frame of the vessel are soaked with moisture the sun im- mediately after breaks out with a strong cloudless heat, and the planks, which have been swelled with wet, now shrink from the penetrating drought, till their joints separate from each other, and leave large gaps and seams. During the next heavy shower, perhaps, these give free entrance to rain, and the cabins below are frequently deluged, in such cases, like an open shed. This takes place particularly on the coast of Guinea, but it is felt to a painful extent by all coasting vessels ii, tropical climates. This, however, is not the only inconvenience wood, it is well known, is a bad conductor of heat, so that whatever wariii- li is genera- ted within a wooden vessel, is likely to remain there, and even to increase, within certain limits, so long as the cause continues to operate. The breath of the sailors, therefore, when they sleep below decks, and the heat communicated through the planks, by the vertical sun,frequently make.the hold of a ship in warm climates so iusufferably hot, that it is almost suffocation to remain in it; and though there are. contrivances (called windsails) which are used to send down a current of cool air, the heat and the effluvia are still injurious to the health. The same warmth, however, which is hurtful to mankind, makes the hold of these ves- sels a favourite shelter for all the noxious vermin of hot climates; scorpions, centipedes, rats, cockroaches, and all abominations, delight III their recesses. Henry Martin, a well-known and benevolent chaplain of the East India Company, who made a short passage in one of the native vessels, could compare It to nothing, on this account, but a sepulchre full of every thing unclean and poisonous. The unpacking of boxes which have been any time on board of such craft is sometimes a work of great danger, and a person has to stand by, with a sharp instrument, to prick the scorpions to death. The vermin are sometimes killed by introducing a tube from a steam-boiler,and tilling the hold (which is well closed down in the meantime) with hot steam; this kills them, and boils them down to a pulp but the vessel requires much cleaning afterwards. The chief cause of the preference shown by such vermin to the holds of ships is the heat generated in the confined atmosphere, which the non-conducting properties of their wooden sides do not allow to escape. All this would be avoided by having vessels constructed of iron; that metal is so com- plete a conductor, that the heat generated within the hold would be transmitted instantly through the sides of the. ship, and abstracted by the cool sea water; so that the in- terior air of the vessel, instead of being kept at a suffo- cating heat would never become warmer than the surround- ing water. This result is not matter of conjecture or spe- culation; the experiment has been tried in steam-vessels on the Ganges, and found to answer perfectly; and it is also now und"y trial in the case of the stealn-boat which went out with Mr. Lander to explore the river Niger, and its eastern tributary, the Quorra. Accounts have uenl re- ceived from this interesting expedition, which dwell par- ticularly on the advantages derived from the coolness of their metal steam-vessel, and its capability of resisting the effects of a tropical climate. Indeed had it not been for this invention, it seems likely that the heat generated by steam-engines would have been a powerful bar to the employment of that power in waim climates, at least in vessels coasting along the hot sultry shoresand river, where the health of European seamen already sutlers sufficiently from the temperature. It is singular to consider how science enables mankind to defy the extremes both of heat and cold, and to carry on their enterprises in safety, under the pole or the equator. When our ships were sent to make discoveries near the pole, they were lined with non- conductors, cork and double planking, in order to preserve within them all the heat that was generated either by the people or by the necessary tires while, under the equator, on the other hand, where the heat is in excess, ships are made entirely of a conducting substance, in order to carry away the heat as fast as it is generated.

A PAIR.—The "Sunday Times" says, Mrs. Long Wellesley is in great distress in Calais, whilst her Lord is living1 at the rate of 10,000 a-year :—"She has no pecuniary resources, and, to fill the cup of sorrow, Mr. \V. denies his being married to her, and that the young William Richard Pole Wellesley is not his son. Mrs. VV. denies this in positive terms, adding1 she has a paper written and signed by him, acknowledging her son to be his child. RETURNED EMIGRANTS.—On Wednesday the American ship Francis arrived at Greenock from New York and a pretty considerable number, as brother Jonathan would say, of Scotia's sons have found their way back with her, after tasting the sweets of Yankee liberty, and seeing vote by ballot, annual parliaments, universal suffrage, and not a trifle, we dare say, of universal vuffei-tity, too, in full operation.—Scottish Guardian,

UNGLAAJJ AiXJJ ptiANCE (From the London Guardian.) We pray. our readers attention to a few broad facts, resulting from an accurate comparison of the moral and physical condition of France and our own country. They cannot be weighed too often, too in- tently, or too soberly. The extent of soil under cultivation in England is lilty-two millions of acres and upwards; and the gross income derived from them is 216,000,0001.; the number of acres under cultivation in Erance is one hundred and fifteen millions, whilst the gross income derived from them does^ not exceed 228,000,000/. The power applied by England in the pcocess of cultivating its soilj in- clusive ot human, animal, and mechanical means is equivalent to the labour of twenty-live millions of men the force applied by France, of the same de- scription, to the cultivation of more than twice the English surface of soil, does not exceed the labour of thirty-seven millions of men; whereas, in the same proportion as in England, it ought to have been equivalent to that of at least tifty-tive millions In England, the annual average consumption of every individual is 102 lbs. of meat; in France it is but [ 38; nor is the latter deficiency made good, as most suppose, by a comparatively larger consumption of bread or farinaceous substances; on the contrary it has been ascertained by French economists them- selves, that the English consume nine per cent, more of farinaceous food than the people of France I The country people, under the latter sky, have scarce wherewith to cover their nakedness, and we have it, on the same authority, that one-half of the French population have neither shoes nor stockings to their feet ( murchent puds vus). The yearly in- crease in that population, instead of being ten thousand in every million of souls, does not extend beyond four thousand four hundred yet in Grellt Britain the increase is above sixteen thousand in every million; nay in Prussia, it is seven-and- tweuty thousand in every million. Look again at the state of education in England and France. In the latter country, the proportion of children educa- ted to the number of inhabitants, is one in thirty; whereas in England, it is one in sixteen. And it may be added, to crown the parallel, that out of every eleven recruits called out by ballot in France, lour are rejected for diminutireness of .stature alone!" These facts are collected from a publication which enjoys the direct patronage of the government of France. Wre give them as we find them, leaving it to our fellow-citizens to determine which they ought to prefer, those ancient and admirable institutions which have given their country such pre-eminence, or the new fangled speculations which are grafting on the model of French Reform? That pre-eminence is not an embryo of yesterday's birth; it has gradually grown out of the enlightened caution with which the Tories have influenced and developed the mind, the morals, the energies, and the resources of Britain for half a century, and of the reverence, with which they have clung to the legislative and politi- cal wisdom of its preceding Sovereigns and Parlia- ments. There is much of dazzling splendour in the large and specious reforms which are the order of the day; but it is the splendour, which a volcano throws up before it is about to break the bounds of its crater, and pour its desolation over the beauteous face of nature and the product of ages of human industry.

NICE PICKINGS-POPISH TITHES. As far as can be collected, the religious houses in England and Wales were in all to the number of 1041 of these only 653 are of known value, whilst there remain 388 of which we have no es- timate. The only fair method of computing the value of the latter, will be by considering the pro- portion which they bear to the former in number. Common Arithmetic will inform us, that if 653 houses were estimated at X171,314 18s, 4d. then 388 houses may reasonably amount to the sum of £ 101,792. Os. 2y1. which, added together, make ■ £ 273,106. 18s. 6id. Now one penny in those days, was equivalent to a shilling at present, as does un- doubtedly appear, from the observation that may be made upon the proportion that labourer's wages,* the price of wheat, and the subsidies granted in Parliament then, bear to those of our times, for this reason, you ought to multiply the above-mentioned sum of E27,7 106. 18s. 6id. by 12, which will give the real value at this day, and amounts to the sum of £3,277,283 2s. 6d. Now, although this may appear to be an almost incredible sum, yet we are not to imagine that it was the only income of these religions houses for it was but the reserved rent of their manors, and the yearly produce of their demesnes, withoutjeomputing fines,herriots, renewals, deodands, &c. which would have, perhaps, amounted to tuiicv as much. But to be more exact in our calculations, let us, from this early income of the monastic houses, deduct a sixth part for demesnes, and then the re- mainder will be merely their reserved rents If therefore, from £ 3,277,283. 2s. 6d. you will subtract £546213. 17s. Id. there will exactly remain for their rent 92,731,069. 5s. 5d. Now the reserved rent being in all Church tenures at least a fifth part of the estate, it will follow that the lands which the monks had out upon lives, in all, amounted to the sum of 1:13,655,316. 7s. Id. and if to this you add their demesnes, you may fairly afiirm that the whole land, which the monks were lords of, came to 1:14,2,91560. 4s. 2d. (for the support of super- stition.) How great a part of our land this must be, may be learned from the following calculation :— The land tax is paid so unequally, that when it is nominally 4s. in the pound, though in the midland counties they are kept up to the rigour, yet in the north and in the west, in many districts only one and a half, and others but two, but in almost in no place above two and a half, is paid. The land tax is supposed, one year with another, to bring in two millions, and this may be accounted, when multi- plied by ten, to be the value of all the lands in England, which is twenty millions per annum. + Of which only £ 14,201,560. was dependant on the poor and humble Popish Priests in other words, the monks were masters of above fourteen parts out of twenty of the whole kingdom. Such were the exorbiant and enormous sums of which the people were pillaged by the Pope and his servants.— See "Toone Chronological ilistoi-ian," Vol. I. p.151-155.

The wages of a hay-maker in the reign of Henry YIl was settled atone penny and in the reign of Henry VIII. never exceded three half-pence. + Gregory Kings's calculations, published by Dr. Davenant, compute the whole rent of lands in England to be but fourteen millions; and Sir William Petty's cal- culations, which are much older, only compute them at eight millions a year.

A MODERN SOLON.—A letter, dated Jamaica, Aug. 2, says There is a report that Lord Mulgrave in a despatch to the Colonial Secretary, said that the slaves were not fit for the boon of freedom but that, should the British Government insist on the abolition of slavery, this island must be dotted over with soldiers. On the receipt of this despatch, Mr. Stanley is said to have exclaimed, Would to God you had sent me your opinion before I went down to parlia- ment upon the slavery question !A-,alu most of the negroes, when they learn that, though emancipated, they are still to work, and to be punished by a magis- trate instead of by their masters, cry out, Why King no let we alone, and let we go on as before time?' Those slaves who have property are much opposed to the abolition of slavery. Many declare they will not believe that such a measure is contemplated. All the negroes say that they had much rather be under their masters1 authority, than be taken before a magistrate for every fault, as, to use their own words, Massa often pardon, but whocbcr hear dat magistrate for- flive ? 'Nlaijy of the white people are talking of leaving this island, and settling in America. 1 shall wait a litth to see how things turn out, and, if they put on a sombre hue, 1 shall depart iutalltly.

SUICIDE OF THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND'S BUTLER. —Last week, an unfortunate man named Henry Harn- fieldt, a domestic in the service of the Duke of Cum- berland, drowned himself in the Thames. At the Coroner's Inquest several letters written by the de- ceased were read, in one of which he spoke of his royal master as a tyrant. The Jury went very fully into evidence on the case, and his Royal Highness was examined at considerable length. Nothing was elicited to warrant the imputation cast by the de- ceased on his Royal Master but it transpired that the unfortunate man was much addicted to drinking. It appeared that the Duke had ordered that another person should go with some plaie into Germany, instead of the deceased who had been proposed for that service, as his Royal Highness had oecasion for the services of Harnfieldt in London. The jury room was crowded, and all persons, without exception, were deeply impressed with the frankness and candour with which his Royal Highness gave his evidence, and with his gracious affability of demeanour.

THE LATEST LONDON INTELLIGENCE. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday, from which we take the following extracts :— Letters from Vienna, dated the 21st ulf. ascribe the late fires in Constantinople to the discontent of the regular troops occasioned hya reduction in their pay. It is stated that the Emperor of Russia proceeds to Modlin to review a large body of troops assembled there. The Moniteur" of Tuesday contains an or- doniiatice reorganizing the French artillery. In future there are to be fourteen regiments of that force instead of eleven. It has been reported in Paris that a courier had had arrived from Madrid to the French Govern- ment with despatches, dated the 24th ult. stating that the King was at the last extremity. Our Correspondent, however, informs us that the fact of the arrival of the courier was denied by the official people in Paris.

A GRICULTVRE, COM3IER CE, AND LONDON MARKETS. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE. SEPT. 30.—We had a good supply of Wheat this morning, chiefly from Essex and Kent, and the demand being slack, the trade was extremely dull at a decline of full Is. per quarter on the best, and at least 2s. per quarter on the middling and ordinary descriptions. Fine Malting Barley, being scarce, obtains our last quotation but other sorts are somewhat cheaper. Beans, both old and new, meet with a particular heavy sale at a reduction of Is. per quarter. Grey Pease are a ti-ifle iower i but White sell on quite as good terms. Though we are very moderately supplied with Oats at present, the trade is far from brisk; our last prices are fully supported.

Although there was rather more business done in good wheat to.day than last week, the demand was by no means lively, and choice qualities of Irish were the only descriptions which maintained our least quotations, the common runs being dull at the decline above mentioned, and the damp inferior sorts very unsaleable on still lower terms. Barley and malt were in very limited request, and each Is. per quarter cheaper. Beans were also taken off less freely, and were the turn lower. For oats there were few buyers, and with an encreascd supply, and more disposition to sell, the prices of old are re- duced Id., and those of new 2d. per 45lbs., from the rates of this day se'unight. Flour and oatmeal con- tinued to meet a limited inquiry, the former declining in value 6d. to Is., and the latter 3d. to GrJ. per sack.

OATs-The crop4 of oats this season are generally considered excellent, both in quantity and quality and the following account (the accuracy of which may be relied on) will, we believe, afford a rather remark- able instance in certifying the general opinion on this point. Mr. John Wetherald, of Portinscale, having thrashed 32 stooks of oats, which were indifferently taken in, for the purpose of getting the straw for thatching, being nothing more than a perfectly com- mon hand, in point of size, actually had from the above ten and a half Carlisle bushels of well-dressed corn and, as a proof of its quality, Mr. W. sold four bushels of it, which was made into meal, when it was found to weigh 22 stones, averaging five and a half stones per bushel.—Whitehaven Herald The seasonable weather of the present week has enabled the farmers to raise the cheering cry in the north of England of" 1-facvest home The dan- gers of the season, though frequently menacing from the precarious state of the weather, have happily passed, and a full average crop of grain has been gathered in excellent condition.-Bo,don Herald. THE IRON TRADE,-A. further increase of ten shillings per tou has taken place in the price of iron since our last. This long depressed trade seems at length to have recovered all its former spirit and activity.—North Wales Chronicle. COMMERCIAL MARINE OF FRANCE -Accnrdin to the calcu'ations inserted in the work the Scale Id Commerce, there exist in France, at this period, more than a thousand ships, of 250 tons one with another, employed on long voyages.

MERTHYR TYDVIL, SATURDAY, Oct. 5, 1833. Among the few occurrences of the present times which we can notice with pleasure, there is none that affords more extensive prospects of advantage than the formation of Agricultural Associations. Those wonderful sages of the modern school, who hold it philosophy to use the floor on which they stand, to light their fire, have so far bewildered the minds, at no time remark- ably clear, of the orators and statesmen who hold forth at public meetings, as to make it really a received and accredited maxim, and one which it is obsolete and stupid to doubt, that if we bought all our corn abroad, and the agricultural interests of England were thrown overboard, the vessel of the State would then sail gaily and prosperously. As these agricultural interests happen to give us, (we say it with sorrow) not all that they might give and all that might be wished, but nearly all that we possess it is a circum- stance which men who have some common sense remaining must see with pleasure, that a stand may possibly be made against the new scheme for turning the farmers into paupers. It is by com- binations, it is by meetings, and unions, at which such people as the philosophical Mr. MUMZ impart their knowledge, that this en- lightened discovery for sweeping the farmers off the stage, obtains credit and strength. We have sometimes heard, of public assemblies, that the wisdom is not always in proportion to the noise; but it is the noise in these cases that has spread from one assembly to another, and thus carried the doctrine. There are certain persons who sit in high places, and with whom noise is of great weight (" the voice of the people") who are inclined to illustrate practically this new philo- sophy as was officially notified by Lord ALTHORP in the House of Commons, when he said that in the next Session he should bring "forward a measure" on the subject. As the same noble Lord in speaking of measures for regulating (otherwise, restricting) the trade to India, said that the measures would regulate" only British subjects, we can perfectly understandjwith what sort of tenderness for British farmers, the mea- sure of the uoble Lord will be framed. Now it is a proposition which must be clear to every man capable of forming a calculation, that the British farmer, if the laws of his country subject him to many local and national burthens, is entitled to a protection, fully adequate, against the competition of those who bear no such bur- dens. We will not mince the matter: we say entitled, on the broadest principles. The law, made by the members of the Reformed Parlia- ment, exacts the tribute: the law then, which places him thus on terms of disparity, is bound to make him compensation. We will have no shuf- fling; the law is bound to make him compensa- tion it can do so only one way—by a protecting duty. It is by the loud clamour of men banded together in Associations and Unions, and not less stupid to their own interests than unjust to those of others, that the trade of the honest and meri- torious English farmer is threatened with destruc- tion. It is to this clamour that honest Lord ALTHORP and the honest Whigs (they are all, all honourable men) are prepared to render up what they well know is the only subsistence of seven- eighths of the people of England; and we avow our anxious hope that they will hear, ere then, that the farmers of England, who have done their duty nobly in their station, have property to preserve, and have feelings to be respected, and have organs through whom to make themselves legitimately heard. We look to these Associations with profound respect for the characters of the persons of whom they are composed for the important aids which they will doubtless bring to the most useful of all human occupations; but still more for the patriotic stand which we trust they will now make in defence of the best interest of their country. To every reflecting man it is perfectly clear, that if the measures which the Whigs contemplate, to conciliate Mr. ATTWOOD'S rabble, be adopted, the whole industry of tke country, agricultural, ma- nufacturing, and commercial is alike swallowed in rttin. To the Noblemen and Gentlemen who toriii these Associations, to their intelligence in collecting and detailing facts, to their industry and promptitude in diffusing widely the knowledge of these facts, and to their firmness and energy in impressing them on the minds of their hearers in the two houses of Parliament, we look for the rescue of the country from the most appalling and degrading ruin that ever was inflicted by a corrupt and prostitute administration.

The Paris Papers contain some intelligence relative to the movements of the Duchess of Berry and her partisans. It appears that the French Government in its alarm at some fancied or real designs of the Legitimists had sent the sloop La Perle to Leghorn to watch the actions of her Royal Highness. The Captain of the sloop having received some information that the steamer Carlo Alberto, already so celebrated in history, was to convey arms to the coast on the South of France to arm the supporters of young Henry V, proceeded to sail for Massa di Carara, a small port in the bay of Spezzia, belonging to the Duke of Modena. Upon the arrival of the Perle the Duke, who had taken the steamer under his protection, in a very spirited manner sent down a body of armed men to oppose any attempt at landing, or insult upon the Alberto. In the night the latter vessel weighed her anchor and de- parted, hotly pursued by the Perle, but the action of the machinery enabled the steamer to get clear off In the meanwhile the Minister of the Interior having been informed of the arrival of the Carlo Albertu at Marseilles, sent orders for laying an embargo on that vessel and subjecting it to a strict search. This pro- ceeding will now be rendered nugatory, as it is affirmed that her boats have already deposited objects presumed to be chests of muskets on the co 'ist of Provence. The Quotidienne," after giving the particulars of the great distinction with which the Duchess was received at Florence and Bulogna, announces her departure on the 18th for Germany. The movements of the Duchess are still uncertain and excite much speculation. Intelligence from Lisbon to the 11th inst. states that the Miguelites were occupying since the Gth the Palace of Adjuda and Faubourg of Belem on the 9th they had advanced as far as the Pas- sada, on one side, and the other descending the rough Junqueira, they bad proceeded as far as the Amaroto the Palace of the Count d'Aponte, occupied by the English Legation. At first they took down the English flag, but the representa- tions of Admiral Parker induced them to restore it to its place. The Miguelites were occupied in constructing batteries 011 the heights of Monchyne and of Alcantara. Private letters to the 17th Sept. received from Portugal by the Lord Nelson, state that no fighting had taken place up to that date. They mention that one of Don Pedro's ships had seized the Lord of the Isles steamer, and carried it into Lisbon, as also a sloop with shot on board for the service of Don Miguel. It is not ascertained whether the steamer had effected the landin g of the French officers and ammunition before it fell into the hands of the Pedroites, A vessel has ar- rived at Falmouth with accounts from Lisbon to the 26th ult. The Chron:ca Constitutional" to the 24th inclusive, makes no mention of any engagement, but it is affirmed that Bourmont made an attack on the 14th, and was again re- pulsed in consequence of which he has resigned, in conjunction with all the other French officers. Donna Maria arrived iu the Portuguese capital on the 22d. There certainly appears to be a great mystery in the act of Bourmont's resignation. The accounts from Al-idrid to the 19th, afford favourable information of the health of the King of Spain. German papers state that the Saxon Chambers have agreed to ratify the convention establishing the Prussian tariff. The Gazette of Augsburg publishes a letter from Constantinople, dated the 3d Sept. Ac- cording to this letter the Reis Elfendi has fre- quent interviews with the French and English Ambassadors, and it was said in the Turkish capital that a treaty between England, France, and Turkey, was negociating. The object of this treaty would be the establishment of a counter influence to that of Russia, and by it the statu quo of the The Turkish empire would be guaran- teed in it present limits. The Diet of Switzerland have made applica- tion to the King of Prussia that Neufcbatel may be detached from that Kingdom, but his Prussian Majesty has declined acceding to the request. Considerable ferment consequently prevails among the Swiss cantons. Accounts received from India bring the news that six Indianten were driven on shore, in Ben- gal ri\er, on the 2d June, in a hurricane. Madras papers to the 26th May announce the suspension of payment of Messrs. Colvin and Co. We have received information from Mexico to the 17th of July and from Bogota to the 28th. In the latterwe have an account of the assassination of Colonel Montoya by a party of conspirators headed by General Sarda. It was intended that Generals Sautander, Obando, and other officers of rank and influence should have shared a similar fate with the unfortunate Colonel Montoya, but they fortunately escaped. The conspirators, about 70 in number, absconded. A serious insurrection broke out at Cuba among the slaves in consequence of a report which had been spread, that a great mortality which prevailed from Cholera, was produced by poison administered by the white inhabitants. The rebellion was not suppressed till 400 or 500 of the insurgents were killed.

On Tuesday la*t two very appropriate sermons were preached in Crickhowel Church in behalf of the funds of the Church Missionary Society that in the morning by the Rev. Daniel Bees, of Aberys- truth. and that in the evening by the Rev. D. Jones, of Vaynor. At three o'clock a Missionary Meeting was held at the long room, opposite the Beaufort Arms, where several Rev. gentlemen addressed the meeting with great abili'y. The collections during the day amounted to 251. IRON TRADE.—Several of our contemporaries quote an alteration in pi ice, but it has not yet taken [ lace in the iron works of South Wales.
