The coal wastes or exhausted mines were foriiiei-ly left in this condition -the roof was supported at necessary distances by masses of coal like rugged pillars, left in removing the g-eneral body, The spirit of economy induced the owners to dispense with the columns, allying the roof to fall, and close up the vkorkin-s-a inferable spirit, to which may be traced the masses of small unused coal left in the strata to generate "fire-damp and choke- amp, ottei1. carried from these wastes into the mines under operation. Depression of the surface, (iften cracking and destroying houses and other buildings, may also be traced to the removal of the supporting pillars, especially w hen the *eum of coal lies 11 near the day." [They manage these matters better in the coal levels of South U ales. The quan- tity of pit-wood used as prlipsis enormous, and far beyond the point of necessity for safety.

T0 THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE & GUARDIAN. Sir,-We. are exceedingly sorry that there should be any occasion for our coming forward to correct any statements that have gone forth into the world but that sorrow has been more Pungent when the subject for scurrility and falsehood has been a pious or a humane institution. Culpability would have been ours if we should suffer the present occasion to pass without cor- recting the statements of your Newbridge correspondent relative to the visit of Mr Smith the other Sabbath. We would rather be disposed to imagine the person, whoever he may be, to had his information from second than we would suppose him to send a false statement abroad on this subject. How any one could have communicated such things to your correspondent, seems to us quite as strange as that he should have written as he did. There seems only one way of resolv- ing the query, and that is by suopo-ing Smith's word not to have been so consolatory to him as it was to others. The naked truth i, that few men have had such a hearty welcome to Newbridge, and as few could have produced the same feeling on the auditory as the Rev. B-n did. He preached in three chapels, and the chapel he occupied for the time beine;, was the only fwj] chapel, the people following more eagerly in the evening than they did in the morning. The English was very plain, and the little anecdotes which he related were very interesting; they were the only parts that had the embellishments of nautical expression, and produced the greatest interest. We have heard several express in strong terms of disapprobation, the advertisement in your columns. The little puppets, as they are called in the advertisement, seemed to be quite :.t home, and did not complain of the labour they had in exhibiting as they did. We can see nothing injurious in their e er- cise, either to body or mind, and none caa call in ques- tion the moral influence as highly felicitous to them and others. We had some conversation with the young- est, and were pleased to find how much they esteemed Mr. S., as their best benefactor under heaven. The allusion to the f5. and odds, and the appropriation clause in Mr. S.'s accounts, seems to be as diabolical as it was uncalled for, and only reminds us of the old adage, The dishonest is the most suspicious." Hoping you will do justice to the visit of Mr S., to himself, ¡;nd to the religious feeling, &.C., of the people ofewbridge by the inserting of this as early as you can, I remain, &c., VERITAS. Taff Vale Iron Works, Sept. 26th, 1837. [We know nothing of this usurper of an Editor's prerogative who uses the plural unit. We have inserted his communication, against a general rule that the names of our correspondents should be con- fidentially communicated, simply because his abuse is confined to ourselves. Veritus" (?) seems to have profited little from the Boatswain's discourses, if ruiling be forbidden by that great teacher of the ignorant.] .#1' MERTHYR. An investigation into the circumstances attending the refusal of the keepers of a workhouse, to permit a man to see his dying wife, was lately instituted by the parishioners of St. Nicholas, Deptford, in which some appalling facts were related. We have never permitted political feelings to influence our opinions respecting the Poor Law Amendment Act. We have always contended for a fair trial of its provi- sions, with a general impression that its oppressive character was more to be attributed to the working of it by Commissioners, the Boards of Guardians, and their subordinates, than to the Bill itself. Hence all the glaring discrepancies in the administration of the law, as given in evidence before the Committee of the House of Commons, were owing to its partial con- struction by different Boards. It is, however, clear- that the parties most -interested in denouncing and exposing the cruelties proved against the Law, are those wiio have defended it as a merciful provision for the poor, and have assisted in working it merci- fully. In the case to which we have referred, no defence nor palliation can be offered —it is one of un- mitigated barbarity, and so far as regards the specific act of cruelty recorded, we agree with our indignant Contemporary. AfUr giving the evidence at length this is the commentary. Now, we ask our reader, dispassionately and calmly whether such a case as this, would be believed to have occurred in this free country — more free and more liberal than ever under our reforming and liberal Whig Ministrv-if it were not published by authority. A man, for forty years, has p.dd his share towards the maintenance of the poor, is reduced to poverty, and, under a regulation of the master of a workhouse, is forced with his wife into the bastile, where, however, he is separated from Her, and kept from her, while she is living within hearing, by a bigli wall, over which her entreaties to him to come and to see hlT are made by some of her fellow-sufferers, and he not permitted to fulfil her last wish, or gratity the anxious desire of his own Iieart. The poor man's daughter brings him nourish- ment suited to the age and infirmities of her parents; lie is not allowed to eat it himself, or partike of it with his wife, fie goes to his children to warn them of their mother s danger, after having been twice previously denied permission, and because lie cannot get across the river in time, he is shut out even of the wretched prison to which he is forced to return. I lis wife sinks under her disease; he is refused access to her; he wishes to pray with her, knowing that there is no Clergyman appointed but no, it must not be, and the unhappy womall with her last breath praying God to let her see her husband, the father of her poor children, perishes within twenty yards of hiin, without being permitted even that alleviation of tier misery. Wuen she is a corpse, and not tIll. then, he is allowed to be gratified with the sight 01 her lifeless remains, and the satisfaction to be. derived from the conviction that her soul passed away without the consolation of religion, and that the last word sue uttered was the name of the fond and faithful partner of her life, who, although literally within sound of her voice, was put asunder F.-oill her by the barbarity o; the rules of the place, established under the New Poor Law, and mercifully and literally adhered to, by that excellent servant of such masters Mrs Carter." Tne Merthyr Cricket Club gave their dinner to Mr Thomas on Monday. They mustered, professors and amateurs, to the number of 40. Mr J- Busseh presiding, and Mr Overton acting as croupier. The dinner was excellent. The wickets were pitched at six o'clock, "plaf iwas immediately called, and the forced meat balls" found their destination without batting. After the first and second innings the game" in,tv be said to have been brought into full play- until at length more notches having been scored than could be tiumber(-(I,aii-ict of "grare" concluded this part of the pastime. Good Wine was the inspirer of several good speeches, and no' speech was more distinguished for good sense, good taste iind good feeling, than that in which Mr Thomas returned thanks for the honour done him. A Welsh poem (as we hear) was recited in the course of the afternoon by a rq(Jar Bard," but we have not been able to ascertain his name. The tollowing translation has been sent us by an anonymous correspondent; and another correspondent, whose Ita- lian hand bespeaks the softer sex, enquires, Why the Bachelors of the Cricket Club do not give the ladies of Merthyr a ball '?' Are they afraid of being caught CRICKET!

Thus various art with various fortune strives, And with each changing chance the sport revives. Emblem of many coloured life!

We find the following paragraph /from the Suffolk Herald:- We received, by post, yesterday (Tuesday) morning, a large letter <ith a lar«e seal, containing a'little letter anj a printed r.o'icc..Ml the documents were from the office of the Registrar C.-nr-rrd of Births, neaths, and Marriages; but the only document which condescended to communicate anything to U" was the above-men- tioned little letter, which politely stat d The editor i, at liberty to insert the enclosed explanatory notice.' Of course the editor is at liberty to do so if he thinks proper, and the editor is also at liberty to let it alone- which is what he will do. If the cunning and ecoiko- mit-al Whigs have found out that their laws require explanation, let them pay for inserting notices of their blunders." We will not deny that something like what our Suffolk Contemporary has thus enunciated, passed across our minds on receipt of the large letter. anil the condescending permission, but it is a Con- servative maxim to return good for evil; and though all Government Advertisements, (witness the Game Lists) are strictly 1 i in it cd to Radical and Revolutionary Journals, we wiii not condescend to imitate so paltry al; example—and if the poor old Whigs can- lIot afford lo pay us, we will insert the r advertisements — gratuitously—something, (a mere trifle), more than gratuitous, being the remuneration for OTHER QUACK ADVERTISEMENTS. We, will that Lord John Russell's brother-in-law, the Registrar General, is the shabbiest of all Whig Officials—he ought to be ashamed of himself. An advertisement in this day's paper announces a meeting at tiu? Bush, on Monday next, to consider the propriety of forming a Literary and Scientific lnstitu- tion at Merthyr. Our wishes for the success of such an institution are far stronger than our hopes. We give our active and zealous Contemporary, The Chronicle, credit for the purest and most disinterested intentions, in all that he has done or expects to do; all that we would entreat, as lie hopes for the accom- plishments of his plans, is that no politic; feeling be suffered to taint the institution in its formation; it will be difficu:t enough to exdude such feeling when it has gathered strength. And we as earnestly hope that the gentlemen of this neighbourhood, who profess Conservative principles, will lend the influencc of their names, and the substantial support ol their purses, to agelluine attempt to place all reasonable mental occupation within the reach of the labouring classes, and to substitute the intellectual for the sensual gratifications, so far as is practicable, amongst all classes of this densely populated town. We stated in our last, that the house of Mr Jacob How els, of Cvfartbfa, had been entered and robbed of upwards of 40 sovereigns. Oil Monday, that person made a diligent search on the premises, and the lost money was discovered hid under a stone. The thief had no doubt placed it there for a more con- venient season of removal, either in the lump or by drawmg out the deposit by instalments. We agaiii avail ourselves of the opportunity of pressing the Merthyr and Dowlais Bank of Savings on the atten- tion of the workmen, and of removing some absurd mi-appreheusious on the subject of it. If they can- not find a sufficient security for the safety of their deposits, in the circumstance that Mr Guest is the president, that Mr David Evans is the trrilsurer, that the list of trustees contains the names of many gen- tlemen connected with the works, that the managers are thirty-six of the most respectable persons in Mcrthvr and Dowlais, of which three ire clergyiiieg, we cannot satisfy them by anv argument. The deposits may be made at tlil house of Nir Atkitis, of wlwm the Institution has hired a room, every Mon- day, between the hours of ten and one, and every Saturday, between the hours of two and five, by a person appointed to receive them. Interest is allowed at the rate of one pelJIIY per month, on eyery thirty shillings deposited, and the monev so deposited is invested in Government securities, agreeably to Act of Parliament. ORIGINAL CO!tfl.ESPODESCE.-The Jfining Journal copies what it evidently believes to be an original communication to the Merthyr Chronicle."—Kxvry word of this pretended letter, but the signature, 111:1) be found in page 341. of the "History of Fossil I Fuel,iii(i was given iu the MERTHYR GUARDIAN, as an extract from that work, nearly two years ago. On Tuesday two lads were amusing themselves with gunpowder, when, as one of them, the son of Mr Waters, of PenydariMi, was laving a train with the flask, his companion, thinking it was complete, applied the match, and rhe whole exploded, shatter- ing his hand so severely, that Mr Ruiseli, who promptly attended, found it necessary to amputate his thumb. We are happy to state that he is doing well. n On Tuesday, as Mr Phillips, of Pontypool, was climbing the rocks at Sully, he fell from a consider- able height, and severely lacerated the hack muscle of* one of liis legs. Tnrough the kind and skilful attentions of Mr Scale, surgeon, of Cardiff, he is so far recovered as to be enabled to return homp. INDIAN COAL. — New mines of coal have recently been di-covered at Hauarecbang and at Bidgegur, in the south-eastern corner of the Mirzapore district, said to be superior to the coal of Burdwan. This discovery \s ill probably form an important era iu the histoiy ol steam navigation in iudia,

If the hearty prayers of t,je Clergy and Laitv of his Diocese could cause his recovery, we should very soon have liis Lordship among us. We do not believe that a Bishop moie beloved, or more deservedly popular, sits on tiie Bench. Mis Hall (the fascinating Gwenynen Fach) has issued very numerous invitations for the Fancy Ball at Llanover Court, on tbe 19th of October. It is expected that the display of Welsh plaids will far outstrip all former occasions. Tile British weavers in Glamorgan, Brecon, and Gwent, have been long engaged in exercising their ingenuity for the occasion. We are authorised to state that the Cymreigyddion Dinner is to be at the George Hotel, and not at the Angel Hotel, as advertised. A man who calls himself William Purton, was met and interrogated bv tiie police, as be was riding through Monmouth, about 12 o'clock on Monday night last, and there being reason to believe tbe animal 011 which he rode to have been stolen, they are both detained in custody, while the necessary in- quiries are made. We subjoin a description of" the latter, hoping it may be useful —Black mare, from 14 to 15 bands high, low itTcoridition, the near hind- eg white up to the fetlock joint, a star in the fore- head, and turned six years old. A mart is about to be established at Usk, for the sale of cattle and other live stock, ou the Friday in every week—the usual market. THE liton TRADE.—The iron trade of Dudley and the neighbourhood is reported to be considerably improved. Several furnaces that some time ago were put out of blast are now in full operation. .## GRAND SPLIT AMONG THE RADICALS. BOHOUGH OF MAKYLEBOXE—PUBLIC DINNER TO MK HALL, M.P. Yesterday t (lititier was given to Mr Hall, the newly elected Radical Member for the borough, at Chalk farm Tavern, Hampstead Road. It will be highly satisfactory to the friends of the Constitution to learn, tlirt both in the parish of Mary- lebone and the adjoining one of St. Pancras, a coiii- plete split has taken place among the Radicals, and they have resolved themselves into parties of high, low, jack, and the game. The democratic house is divided against itself—Peachum accuses Lockit, and Sneer tells Sir Fretful Plagiary that he "cannot steal Wellhence, matters appear to be settling down into personality and party bickerings, and there can be little douot as to the result. On the next election the Conservatives will have the game. At about five o'clock the chair was taken by Mr Hovenden, supported on the right by Mr Benjamin Hull, M.P., and on the left by MrRevell. Thc cloth having been removed, the usual toasts on such occasions were given and after a whole newspaper speech from Mr Rev ell, The health of -Air Benjamin Hall" was given, and drunk in a very enthusiastic manner. Mr Hall returned thanks. He stood before them not only as their representative, but as the represen- tative of the whole borough, aid he went into arlianient unpledged to any measure, and perfectly >*t liberty to exercise his own judgment. (Hear, r. cheers.) He was truly sorry to find that any dif. trtnoes should have arisen among the Reformers as to this dinner; he had trusted that it was merely to celebrate the triumph of liberal principles, or, in other words, the independence of the borough," for which they had met; he, however, understood that there was to be another dinner, and, to show his thongs upon the subject, he had also accepted an vitatioll to titit, lie, for one, would lot be tlic, person to throw the apple of discord among the Re- tOIIlt rs. (Hear, hear") Aftersomc further obser- va ions relative to the anjry leelings subsisting among the parochial committees and the general -J ° Radicals, Mr Hall adverted to the 01 icoiniiig Parliament parties, he said, were near.y oqually ballau ed, and the struggle 1 V. i^'ess, be severe. Upon one point, )o\ i vir, be was determined to oppose the Ministers It was upon th introduction of the Poor-law 13ill illtq tilu metropolitan districts. (Hear, 1 and "no more starvation;" "bill oug-lit to he to be bui-nt, &c." He bad heard that it was the intention of her Majesty s Ministers to bring in a special bill for the purpose of forcing the New Poor-law Amend- ment Act upon the whole of the metropolitan pa- rishes. (S:iame, shame, we won't have it.") Although he had supported some of the clauses of that bill rotating to rural districts, he should certainly oppose tne Ministry in this attempt; and he would have told his constituency so upon toe hustings had it not been for bis rooted aversion to anything in tiie shape of a pledge. Six years'experience had taught him that tiie "pledged man" was seldom seen to per- form that which he had pledged himself to do. (Hear, hear ) Mr Hall then went into some explanation regarding the recent letter of Mr George Aiusiie Young, relative to the election, at which the said Whig nominee polled 760 votes, and concluded by expressing his thanks, &c. Mr Kitelv,and several others, subsequently address- ed the Meeting; and in the course of such speeches every satisfactory proof was given of the breaking up and disorganization of the Radical banditti. The adage, "When rogues fall out honest men come bv their own," is about to be verified.-Fron the Standard of Thursday.

BRECOX, Saturday, Sept. 30, 1S37. It is onlv as the Master of the contemptible Ministers who are our masters, and who if not prevented will become the masters of our young Queen, that (j Count;]! possesses power, or is entitled to the notice he receives at the hands of the Conservative Press. Revolutionary itifio- vation is the price whilh the feeblest administra- tion that ever cursed a country is compelled to pay for the support it receives from the fiercest Demagogue that ever was enabled by the force of circumstances and ;he balance of parties to execute mischief, or raise himself to the bad eminence" he has gained. Ilis last letter to the people of Irtlaud proclaims, in language not to be mistaken, what is the further price lie re- quires for sustaining the Melbourne Cabinet, his terms rising with the necessities of the buyer, and if Lord Melbourne had one spark of Eng- lish feding left,—one atom of the spirit of a lie Litelifield House compact would be tossed to the It is clear that the more equally parties are balanced in the House of Commons,the greater is the power of this Master of slaves; and yet, and he knows it well, tltis is also the crisis of his fate, and out of the extrava- i gance of his demands his power mav vet be crushed. And what are the declared principles of O'Connell in this letter ? It is manifest," he says, that the Reform Bill has not gone far enough in England or in Scotland,-it seetrls to me that all the people of England may with the greatest safety be empowered to vote for Te- presentatives." Thus he proclaims Universal Suffrage; which would turn the nation into a mob—the Parliament into a Bedlam-the Ca- binet into a cypher—and the Throne into- nothing. He proclaims the Ballot—" I do not hesitate to tell the people of Ireland to put but little faith in any man who does not votefor the Ballot." The Ballot would be the temptation to bribery in the first instance, to perjury in the second- and to the rniti of all honesty of Election in both. He proclaims Repeal; which would be massacre in Ireland and civil war between the islands. In case of Popish success, the separa- tion of the Empire; in case of English triumph, torrents of blood let loose in the coiitesi, the strength of the Empire wasted. Ireland ruined by the combat, England left languid by the victory. And all this with the powers of the Continent looking on, and ready to piiMBge Jhe sword into both as they lay fainting on the field. Rein«tfiber I am ft Repeater," is the language of the ruffian. -1 Reinf-niber, I tell you it is my belief that justice will never be done to YOll iintil you have once again a Parlia- ment in Co'Jpge Grel'II." He prodnims war against the British people- The result of the recent Elections," says he, in the English Count ies, all-all prove that with the good will of England justice will never be obtained for Ireland." How then is it to be obtained ? By force—if words have any meaning. He finally offers the deepest insult to the Government that Government ever received, if the charge were not true to the letter. The Queen's Ministers are our decided friends!" Friends of the party of Universal Suffrage—of the Ballot-of the Repeal—of Popish 'aseeridalicy Where sleeps the power of the Attorney-General when libels like this are flying through the land. If this man is not as palpably denounced in the first speech of the Virgin Queen to her first Parlia- ment as he was when Lord Grey was Prime Minister of England and Lord Stanley was Secretary for Ireland—then do his friends, the "brutal and bloody Whigs," owe him an apo- logy for the language in whteh they spoke of him, and fur the bill of Coercion by which their denunciation was followed.

BRECON RACES. Go.- These Races came off," as the phrase is, 011 Wednesday and Thursday last. The fine- ness of the weather—a perfect contrast to that of last season—contributed much to the full attendance and the general cheerfulness of the course. \e question if Newmarket at its best, Epsom in its fullest, and Doticaster in its brightest, ever afforded half the gra- tification which such races as Brecon produce, be- cause the pure Jove of the amusement is the animating principle of our congregated spectators. To give a list of the fashion and beauty which graced the course would lead us farther than we have space and time. We mu.;t not, however, omit to mention that the venerable Marquis Camden was present 011 both days; that Charles Morgan, Esq. M.P., ably officiated as steward for bis relative Lord Rodney, whose unavoid- able absence was much regretted, and that H. Touchet Davies, Esq., performed the duties of his office in person, to his own honour and to the general satis- faction. Tne sport opened with the Produce Stakes. The Card had seven entries, but two only came to the I starting-post. Capt. Davtt's, br. f. Merry Lass, and inir. Nlivberv's br c. The Skipper. We suppose the latter was out of his reckoning," for he was dis- tanced. The contest for the Ladies' Plate was natu- rally more animated. The following horses started and were thus placed :— Capt.

TO THE I \J EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE & GL ARD^N^ Cl v; SIR, As the avowed and zealous advocate of testantism, I -beg you will further advance the good cause by inserting in the columns of your ablv conducted Journal the inclosed resolution. In your paper of the 23rd instant, I observed that a subscription has been entered into, in aid of the expenses of the Dublin and other Irish elections, and that subscriptions, in aid of the same cause, will also be received in Merthyr, at tbe GTARDIAN OFFICE. Xow, from the general feeling which prevades the Conservative classes in this enlightened County, I trust, and sincerely hope, that feelings of a simultaneous nature exist amongst us, and that in the balance of the presen t important crisis tremble the future destinies of our country. It is, therefore, devoutly to be v.-ished, that no Protestant or lover of his country's peace will be found so ungenerous as to withhold his mite in support- ing such a cause, and, consequently, join in an unholy compact with Popery but, that in every Town and res- peetable Village, the Conservative cry will be vieorousiv responded to, With hearts resolv'd, and hands prepared, The blessings we enjoy to euard." R, P. At a Meeting of the friends of the Conservative cause held in Beltarbet, County Cavau, Ireland, the following resolution was proposed and carried, on the 2nd day of August last It was resolved- That in consequence of the strong grounds there are to petition Parliament against the undue returns of Messrs. O'Connell and Hutton, at the late Election in Dublin, we consider ourselves, and all other true friends to the Queen and State, most imperatively called noon to subscribe, according to our means, in aid of the Lon- don Subscription, to meet the expenses necessarily attendant on prosecuting such petition. And, viewing' as we do with uninitiated abhorrence, the n-farious means resorted to by the O'Connell Government party, both in Dublin and at every other contested Election, in order to hear up their falling interests, we warmly re- commend our Conservative brethren, every where, energetically to come forward now, and w'ith their strenuous support to aid in hurling the enemies of our Church and Throne from their uniustlv acquired eminence. EAST GLOUCESTERSHIRE REGISTRATION- Counx- The Courts for Revising the Lists of Voters for this division of the comity, were opened at W ineheomb an Wednesday last. Messrs. Peake and Wfjitmore ore again appointed the Revising Barristers. The Conservative claims and objections have been, for the three circuits, advocated by Mr J. S. Cox, solicitor. Clit-itenham, atid Mr Barnett, solicitor, Tetburv those of the Whig-Radiciiis by Messrs. R. Wiiiterboihain, Gvde, and D'Oylcy. Under are the results of the first three days work at Wineheomb, Campden, and Stow-on-the-Wold. At Campden, the Court sat from ten in the morning till half-past nine at niybt, without once adjourning. In the Court at Stow th(: Whig-Radicals established only one out of nineteeen objections the whole day, but the Conservatives suc- ceeded in 18 out of 28. Objections by Conservatives Off. Retained 69. 37. 24. Objectionsby Whig-Radicals Struck Off. Failed ir 15. 17. 56, So that, numerically and proportionably, the Conserva- tives have a large majority in their favor.

MR BRADLEY returned thanks in an able speech. The Chairmall then rose and said, he felt much I 8fttisfactiou in announcing that there were several new Subscribers to their list, and among them, he had pleasure in seeing his friend near .him, J. E. **iclieno, Esq., whose presence and assistance must bea great acquisition to any society, and to none more than to an agricultural one, to the practical carrying out of which, the science of the naturalist and geologist must always be of the gieatest advantage.

Mr BUUCE FRYCE said he had one other "Wst to propose, for which he sliouM ask per- mission of their Chairman: it was the health of a Kwtlcinan of the 'True Glamorgan Breed;' the rt'l'resentative of one of its most ancient families, and who was ever foremost to promote the prosperity Agriculture and the IlIeal institutions of the bounty of Glamorgan: lie would give them "Their Chairman, the Itev.

His lordship's absence was greatly regretted, as from the "Very liberal and judicious premiums which are given to the tenants on his estate, not only in this county, butin Bedfordshire, Ayrshire and Bute, his Lordship encouraged the industrious farmer in a manner not to be exceeded by any landed proprietor in the king- dom. .### BRISTOL AND THE PORTS UPON THE CHANNEL. We copy the following article from the Bristol Mirror of last week. It estimates very correctly the importance of that gigantic undertaking the HVTE •SHIP CASAL, and expresses some very natural appre- hensions of its effect on the port and trade of Bristol. Its effect on the town of Cardiff,—a matter which Hare concerns us,—will probably be to raise the town to the rank of a city, and its port to one of the first •class. That the enterprise of one individual, and he a Nobleman of the highest rank, should have undertaken o vast a work and brought it to the eve of comple- tion by his own resources, is, so far as we know, with- ■out precedent in this or any other country. It is an undertaking honourable alike to his patriotism and his liberality, and will be an imperishable monument of public spirit. The stimulus which this great im- provement will give to industry and commercial activity is incalculable, and we doubt not that the foundation of many an ample fortune will be hereafter traced to the advantages afforded to Cardiff by the Bute Ship Canal. The apprehensions so repeatedly expressed, as to 'the effect which certain improvements now in progress some of the Welsh ports may eventually have the trade of Bristol, do not appear to be with- out foundation. We have lately had an opportunity •of ascertaining the extent to which, in one or two •instances, it is proposed to carry them and certainly the /result has led us to coincide with those who foresee an approaching as well as dangerous rivalry from uur Cambrian neighbours. There are four ports upon the great estuary of the Severn, which, under this view, may be considered its Jikely to influence that of Bristol: of these, Glou- cester lIlayalrPildy have done its worst. We, per- lnvpSk, know the full extent of injury which Bristol may expect to receive from that competitor, and suf- ficiently grievous it is. At Swansea, considerable additions to the accommodations of the harbour are in contemplation, but Swansea has long since been in great measure supplied from Liverpool; so that the two intermediate ports of Newport and Cardiff may now be considered as the only points through which any further diminution of the trade of Bristol may he apprehended. At the former, a very capacious Hock, to be connected with a basin of proportionate 'dimensions, has already been commenced. Although ithe work has not yet been pushed forward with much -activity, the recent changes in the engineering super- intendence, and the visit of the highly talented iu- dividual, who has, in consequence, been consulted, afford a fair presumption of their eventual comple- tion. At CauliiF, on the contrary, for the last t\yo years MttHndertakingot the utmost importance has been in acti.vc progress. The canal and sea-lock, con- structed nearly 40 years since, have long been found inadequate to the growing commerce of the place; additional accommodation has been loudly calltd for, and how necessary it has become the last report published by the Canal Company will best prove. By tiftt document it appears, that in the past year, ,114,148 tuns of iron, and iy"2,241 tons of coal (nearly 101)0 tons per day), were sent down the canal. -The '•delays so very frequently incurred in shipping this 'uaormous quantity of produce, by means so limited ■a* those furnished by tiie Glamorganshire canal, were i-alifc vexatious to the ship-owner and manufacturer. vVarious schemes have, from time to time, been in- •elWtually suggested, nor until the present work was undont-a.kien did there appear much prospect of the requwabe improvement being made. It has been reserved for individual enterprise to carry this desira- ble objed tuto efiect. The Marquess of Bute, who is the proprietor of the ground immediately ad- joining the shore, at Carditt, a few years since obtained ait Act of Parliament, empowering him to construct a new harbour there: the work was • commenced two years since, and has been carried forward with great activity. As ihe port of Bristol 1 will pro: ably experience considerable effects from its rising neighbour, our readeis will, perhaps, feel in- terested by a geie ral outline of the undertaking, and Wttis be in some measure enabled to estimate the ttutLufe of those, apprehensions which we have atready oxyir.eesed. A straight open cut is proposed, from the mkMle of Cardiff Roads to the entrance gates, 01 what may he described as the outer basin. These gates will be lit) feet wide, with a depth of 17 at high Water iteap tides, and 32 at spring tides. At the north end of the outer basin is situated the maw cn- trance lock, IWXect Iwg and 36 feet wide, sufficient to admit vessels of from five to six hundred tons bur- then,and connecting it with the inner basin, or wet docks, which constitutes the principal feature of the undertaking. This basin, the excavation of which is nearly completed, extends in one continuous line from the luck to within a short distance of the town of Cardiff: its length is 1,400 yards, and width 2)0 feet, varying in depth of water from 10 feet to U, finis, i< d with substantial qinv-wa'ls, with granite copings, and containing an area of IS acres of water surface, and 5,100 feet of uninterrupted iine of wharfage—a work which, in point of magnitude and utility, rivals many public undertakings, and far excecds all that in- dividual enterprise has ever attempted. Let us now for one moment consider the possible consequences upon this port, from a creation of such importance as that which this intelligent and public- spirited Nobleman has commenced. We have before us. then, the certainty of a port being opened within thirty miles of our own, affording all the accommo- dation at present furnished by Bristol, and free from those heavy imposts to which this harbour is un- fortunately, but unavoidably, exposed. It is situated at a point of the Channel eminently qualified for such an undertaking,whetherconsideredasaport of refuge or of trade; for the prevalent wind in the Bristol Ctiannel being to the W. of S., Cardiff Roads have long been known to mariners as safe and roouiv groundsill westerly gales; while the entrance to the Bute Ship Callal, effectually protected by the bold headland of Penarth, will offer additional security in heavy weather from that quarter. Nor are the com- mercial advantage* of its position less striking; the population in the hills north of Cardiff, from the vast growth of the iron-works at Merthyr and elsewhere, has more than trebled within a very short space of time. To those who are best acquainted with the circumstances likely to influence this part of the ques- tion, and the state of the mineral property there, there, does not appear any limit to its increase. From the new port there is direct and easy access to the vale of Glamorganshire eastward, as well as to the populous towns lying west of Cardiff. The Tail' Vale Ralroad is commenced, affording immediate and rapid means of pouring the produce of the port among the dense population of the hitts..And thus we find Cardiff situated, with respect to sources of demand upon its imports,precisety as Bristol was before that branch of her trade found its way to Gloucester. Such then, are*our prospects with respect to this and the other ports upon the Channel. Whether any steps which we now can tIC will be able to recall, or after the completion of the noble work which we have thus de. scribed, we shall retain any portion of our trade with the Principality, appears to us very problemetical. We have stated the grounds upon which our apprehen- sions are founded, and which have been so often echoed in the Council, but the remedy of this evil (and there certainly must be one) must be suggested by others. "J># IRIsH ELECTION PETITION FUND.—We beg to re- mind our Conservative readers of the subscription to this fund—and to recommend that some active gen. tlemen in each town take upon themselves the office of receiving such sums as it may be agreeable to those who patronize the subscription to contribute, and forward the list to us. It is our intention to pub- lish the first list next week. In the meantime we call the attention of Conservatives to the following extract from the Standard, in the sentiments of which we concur:- We expect a large amount of abdications, upon the meeting of the house and this is a considerations which, with all respect, we would earnestly submit to our Con- servative countrymen. By promptly subscribing they will prevent, instead of provoking, the counter-subscrip- tion. Nothing but the expectation of an equivalent in one shape or the other, will ever induce a Whig-Radical to part with his money and if the Conservatives show by a prompt and liberal subscription, that the attempt to defend the usurped seats must fail, these seats will not be defended." Our readers will observe in the Newbridge Church Subscription of this day, that the Bishop ud Chapter of Llandaff, have subscribed dflOO. His Lordship had before, in his individual capacity, subscribed the munificent sum of The Chancellor and Mr Prebendary Norris had also liberally subscribed. When it is considered bow miserable is the income which the Prebendaries of Llandaff receive, the public will gratefully appreciate this munificent donation. Died on Sunday last, the 24th inst., at High Clere, near Newbury, the seat of the Earl of Carnarvon, Susan, Countess Dowager, of Guilford, in the 66th year of her age. Ikr Ladyship was the second wife of George Augustus, late Karl of Guilford, fatlwr of the Marchioness of Bute. She was the eldest daughter of the late Thomas Coutts, Esq., and sister to the late Francis Marchioness of Bute. Died, suddenly, on Saturday night last, while riding home from Bridgend to Cornellv, Mr John Beyuon, aged 62. The clerk of the peace having received the writ for the election of a coroner, vice Lewis Reece, Esq., resigned, the election will take place at Bridgend, on the J4th of October. It is dillieult to say whether Mr Davicsor Mr James Russell will succeed. Both partit's arc confident. We are bound to say that both are highly respectable, and that we are satisfied that the duties will be well performed which- ever is successful. Mr Reece held probably his last inquest, at Bridg- end, on Wednesday last, on the bodv of Mr John Beynon, of Cornclly, and on another ease of sudden death, at Coychurcb. CARDIFF THEATUE.—The performances on Monday last, under the patronage of Mrs Homtray, were for the benefit of the Cardiff Infirmarv, and we are hap'iy to find there was a very full house, and that the receipts amounted to £20 12s. Messrs. Hamilton and Sabine (from the late Liver- pool Scientific Meeting,) Mr Bicheno, and Captain James Ross, R. N., are at present guests with Lord Adare at Dunraven Castle. On Saturday last, a fox, supposed to have slaugh- tered more than pound's worth of poultry, was killed at Cefn Colson, by four couple of the staunch hounds of Mr Lewis, of Park. And, on the same day, smother lox was killed at Porth Kerry, by the celebrated pack of the 'Squire of Llan- harran. ,##4> GLAMORGANSHIRE AGRICULTURAL REPORT. SEPT. 28.—After rather a tedious harvest, the corn has now been secured throughout the vale of this county. In the hilly district.a portion is still out, which the present favourable weather affords an opportunity of securing in good order. The result is nearly as follows:—In the fine week at the commencement of the harvest, a small portion of wheat and barley was housed in good order: this eanliot amount to a tenth of the whole. This was succeeded by a fortnight of showery weather, during which period the bulk ofthe crop was secured in this county.and although it was put together inadamp, unkind condition, yet we do not consider the injury it experienced as very serious; some portion will be mouldy and heated in the rick. For the next fortnight, up to the 19th instant, it set in more decidedly wet, and the corn exposed during this time sprouted very considerably, and is greatly discoloured. On the whole, it will be found that every grain is, in quality, far inferior to last year's crop in bulk we consider it a fair average, especially the barley, which is rather above an average. Old lIrll has found eager purchasers, the new being unfit for grinding. Tlte sloek in the hands of the grower of the former is now exhausted. A great portion of the barley and oat straw is rendered unfit for fodder, by the long exposure to the weather, which will tend to raise the price of hay; the old stock of which having been entirely consumed, and the crop of last summer being deficient, the stock may prove short before the spring. The present fine autumn, and the good stock of grass now on the ground, will be a great help, aud enable the farmer to economise the use of it at the commencement of the winter. 'I urnips are improving fast, but the crop is patchy from the attacks of rubs. The Swedes escaped and are a good crop. The mangels are an inferior crop, the complaint of bad seed and wa lit. of vegetation until too late to ensure a crop being universal. Fat stock are scarce, especially beef, and primeeattle are worth from 5J, to 6d. per lb. Wool is improving in value, and is at present worth lad. per lb. An unusual quantity of foreign corn has been taken out of bond during the last few weeks, but particu- larly in the hist fortnight, which seems to indicate either that grain of the first quality is wanted or per- haps a prevalent opinion that on the striking of the next six weeks'averages the price of eorn w III be found lower, and the scale of duty therefore higher. The quantities so taken out have been For the week ending September 5, IS,671 quarters; lor the week ending September 12,25.523 quarters. For several weeks previoush,with the exception of one week, which was about 9,000 quarters, tne quantities cleared weekly varied between .1,0110 and 5,0, 0 and 6,00j and the rates of duty chargeable ranging they have been at 28s. 8d. The facts are remarkable in the latter supposition, as tending to show that the harvest is generally considered to have been nearer an average crop than from appearances a month since it was con- sidered likely to be. The benefit will certainly be telt in the Exchequer, and in that light the event is, no doubt, a very unexecuted one, NEATH HORTICULTURAL SHOW, The following is the list of prizes awarded to the successful competitors in flowers and fruit at the late Horticultural Show, at Neath. We would beg to recommend an extension of the prizes, both in number alid amount, to the cottagers. We would not only tiave tiie best rewarded, but every cottager, the pro- ductions of whose garden reaches a certain standard of excellence, should have a prize. We know a villnge the moral reformation of which commenced, and was in a great measure effected, by an allotment of a piece of ground for a garden to each householder, and stimulating industry by annual exhibitions of vegetables. 'I he cottagers prizes too should be some useful implement of husbandry—something that can be shown and perhaps transmitted. Flowers. To whom adjudged. Class oj Priftss. Cut Flowers.
