INTELLIGENCE FROJI CANADA. -r-= TOTAL SUPPRESSION OF THE REBELLION IN CANADA—CAPTURE AND DESTRUCTION CF ST. EUSTACHE,A\ND GRAND BRULE, WITH THE DISPERSION OR SUBMISSION OF THE WHOLE .REBEL FORCE. The Virginian, Cap-ain Harris, of New York. which arrived at Liverpool late on Monday night, brings New York papers to the 26th, and Montreal papers to tbe 113: 1, ult., communicating the important intelligence 'shieh we havc announced above. Oil the 14th Sir John Colborne having reached St. Eustache, a village ;ib ut 1-5 miles north-west from Montreal, but separated from that city by t'.vo branches of the St. Lawrence, attacked the rebels, who took post in the church and some ecclesiastical buildings attached, and, after a brisk engagement, which lasted about two hours, succeeded in routing their whole force, setting the church and all r 1;c other edifices occupied by them on fire. The rebels either fled in disorder or surrendered; 120 were made prisoners, for the, most part with arms in their hands, and it is;snpposed about 80 were killed in the streets and fields, besides a much greater number believed to have perished in the vaults of the church and in the adjaccnt buildings. It is said that Chenier and Girod, the rebel leaders, N-rere among those who met this fate. The greater part of St. Eustache was then burn d. From St. Eustache, Sir John proceeded to Grand. Ih'ule, a village ,e a few miles further to the N.W., and the focus of re- bellion. The rebels offered submission, upon condition that the town should be spared, but any terms were re- fused, and the rebels, scarcely making even show of resistance, fled in dismay and dispersion, and Grand Brule was utterly destroyed by fire. The volunteers from St. Andrew, on the Upper Canada frontier, mainly con- tributed to the facility of the victory. The British loss was very inconsiderable; but two or three private men were killed, and no officer was either killed or wounded, save Mr Gugie. (sheriff, we believe, of Montreal,) who received a wound that is not dangerous, though severe. The United States' journals at first represented this decisive success as a defeat of the British, but they have been since compelled to confess the truth, that the re- bellion in Lower Canada is at an end. These journals console themselves, however, by sto- nes of a revival of disorder in the Upper Province—the sole foundation for which seems to be that Mackenzie and a few traitors and United States' adventurers have possessed themselves of a waste rock in the Niagara river, called Navy Island, and formed there what they called a provincial government. The Governor of the State of New York has issued a proclamation enforcing the duty of neutrality. CAPTURE AND BURNING OF ST. EUSTACHE. (From the Nvta York Daily Express of Dec. 2:2.) The Montreal Gazette of the 15th of December gives an account of the attack made by the British troops upon St. Eus-tache. The Patriots defended themselves at first in the church, but two field-pieces on the north- east side of the church, and another in the rear of the village, with fire-works, soon set the church on fire, and the Patriots fled in all directions. Three regiments and the cavalry in the meantime, made a circuit round the village in rear, and took up positions to intercept the Patriots when they should be compelled to abandon their position. The Nunnery and Presbytere situated on either side of the church, were also destroyed, as well as several other houses in the village. The loss sustained on either side has not been accurately ascer- tained but it is reported that 80 of the Patriots have been killed, and over 100 taken prisoners. Dr. J. 0. Chenier was killed in the yard of the church. The commander-in-chief, Girod, and Fereol Peltier, are said by the Gazette to have taken flight towards St. Benc.it, immediately after the first fire. On the part of the troops, the Gazette has no account of any having been killed, except one man. Mr. Gugie, while storming the Sacristie, was severely, but not dangerously wounded, in the left shoulder, the ball coming out at the right arm. Having taken possession of St. Eustache, the troops proceeded on the 15th of December to St. Benoit, or Grand Brule, where it was said the Patriots were strongly fortified. St. Eustache, four o'clock, Thursday. St. Eustache has fallen. The church, the priest's house the nunnery, Dument's house, Chenicr's, and Scott's, all the leading Radicals, and many others, arc in a heap of blazing ruins. Five of the Royals, I hear, are killed, and thrae of the artillery wounded. Gucie is the only man of consideration hurt. 1 He had dis- mounted from his horse, and was storming the Sacristie, in the most gallant manner, wher^he was hit on the top of the left shoulder by a ball, which came out in his left arm -most happily devious the course of the ball must have been. He looks very well, and the doctors say it is by no means serious. I know not the number killed among the rebels—I should suppose, from what I have learned and seen, about 6J, but the village having been surrounded there was no possibility of escape; and the prisoners say that numbers retreated into the vaults of the church and the cellars, where they must have perished miserably. A prisoner assures me that Girod was in the church to-day, with Barcelo and Chenier they therefore must have fallen. Such a scene you never witnessed. It must prove an awful example: I trust in God a satisfactory one. A prisoner at my elbow declares that both Chenier and Girod were in the church with between 200 and 300-they must have all fallen. The artillery first opened at about half-past one. Every thing was over except the shooting of a few fugitives, at half-past three. Montreal Herald, Dec. 16.—" We have received still later information from the seat of war. Previously to leaving St Eustache, a flarof truce had been received by Sir John Colborne, but that did not interfere with his preconcerted operations. Every house within a mile of the village of Grand Brule had a white pocket hand- kerchief stuck on a stick exhibited from a window to give evidence of the peaceful intentions of its inmates. Oil arriving opposite Girouard s house, the general halted and made it its head quarters. Immediately opposite were about 2-30 Canadians drawn up rank and tile, a few of them holding up white handkerchiefs on sticks. They exhibited as pitifuban appearance as could possible be imagined, and surrendered them uncondi- tionally. fix Girouard's house several papers were found, containing lists of his various companies and various other matters connected with his mad projects. —A person named Majore, one of the prisoners of St. Eustache, who was wounded in the side by an offic r with his sword, and who was one of the fomenters of the rebellion, says that at the beginning of the action the rebels amounted to nearly a thousand. A consider- able number of them fled as soon as they heard the first discharge of artillery, and it is conjectured that from one hundred and fifty to two hundred were killed by the military, or perished in the flames. The stench from the burning of the bodies was very offensive. The number of the corpses in the church-yard and the nuns gardens is twenty eight, and from thirty to forty indivi- duals were killed in the brushwood in attempting to retreat. When the troops arrived at St. Eustache, Girouard, Peltier, and few others left to bring up rein- forcements, as they said, but, as a matter of course, they never returned. They called at a tavern kept by Mr Inglis, at Grand Freniere, about four o'clock, and said that the troops had met with a signal defeat. Mrs Inglis asked them how, if that were the case, tbe village was in flauies ? To which they replied, that it was acci- dentally set on fire by themselves. They then went to Grand Brule and the North River, but were not success- ful in either place in raising troops, and they are now supposed to be skulking about the woods. The nurnber of prisoners taken at St. Eustache is, 12-1, and the num- ber of wounded is about 20, of whom four have died since they were placed in the hospital. The troops lost one man killed and five men were wounded, though not Seriously. On Thursday evening the village of St. Eustache presented a heart-rending appearance, the whole of the lower portion being one sheet of lurid flame. It is sup- posed that about fifty houses have been burnt, and no- thing now is left of them but stone walls or solitary chimneys. The moon looked blue and wan through the thick and curling smoke, and seemed as if mourning over the melancholy scene. The Montreal Gaxette of Dec. 18, ,ay;Yesterdav the 83d and the Royal Regiments returned to town the latter with the prisoners from St. Eustache, among whom was Mr. Demochellc, one of the most active and the most wealthy among the rebel leaders. He is said to possess about 70 farms in that part of the country, which, of course, must be confiscated. In Upper Canada, Mr. M'Kenzie, with a handful of fugitive followers, is said to have taken possession 00 Navy Island, which he was doing all in his power tf fortify. He is reported to have six pieces of cannon, and to receive supplies from Buffalo. Navy Island is situated in the Niagara, is not more than a thousand acres in extent, and stand on the borders of the United States. In the meantime, Sir Francis Bond Head has greatly increased his popularity by releasing his pri- soners, and granting a free pardon to all who will lay down their arms, except such as have been guilty of murder, robbery, or arson. With the exception o fthe fugitives pent up in Navy Island, the whole Jie Upper Province is perfectly tranquil.

MEYI5ICX. :\Ir JamC's, fdr lh( plailltiff, movccl for t'ip produc- tion of certain deeds and papers by the defendant, Mr William Meyriek, a solicitor in Wales, in order that they mi^ht be inspected by the plaintiff. He stated that tlie piaititi.T iiad sold ati estate in Wales to the for x2,100,, but had only received ti0o, the. remainder having been retained for.bills of costs; A mortgage to soenrfi ^1,109, part of the amoullt of the bills of costs, had been executed, but the plaintiff afterward demanded to have the bills, and was refused, upon which the suit was instituted for the purpose of setting aside the deeds. The learned counsel then detailed a variety of transactions in which the defen- dant was professionally concerned for the plaintiff, and submitted, that in order to enab'e the plaintitF to make out his case lie was entitled to the inspection for. Mr Pemberton and Mr Ilomilly, for the defendant, said, tiie bill was fiied to impeach a deed for fraud, and the plaintiff thewforo bad no right to see it until the hearing of the cause. In 1782 tbe plaintiff was tenant in tail of the estates subject to the life interest of his fttlipr, but his father dealt with the estates as if lie was absolute owner, and devised them away. After the (IL-iltil the defendant was employed by the plaintiff as his solicitor, and all action was brought to recover the estate under the old entail. The Court of Session directed an issue, which was tried, that involved "only a portion of tiie premises. An ejectment was^afierwards brought, and a bill was filed by the other party to stay the proceedings at law. Up to 1823 litigation, such as seldom occurred, ensued, and although Xi,loO, Ille amount of the defendant's bills of costs, appeared to be a very large sum, it was in fact a very small one. for so many pro- cpedings, both at law alld in equity. The costs were made out, the accounts were given, investigated, and settled, and after very long- credit, a. mortgage was given. Under such circumstances it was fit that the soiicitor shouM have both security and interest. The bill was filed to impeach the deeds for fraud; the plaintiff therefore was not now entitled to look at them. Mr James-The costs received by the mortgage deed were £lmJ. Is. 3d., but that included tbe costs of the It was necessary to see the deed in reference to the prayer of the plaintiff's bill, which prayed an account of the money, and tosee the sum re:dly ¡Jue, for winch and which only the mortgage should be a security. l,o.-(i., ile-Tlie defendant is not entitled to see the deed in this stag-e of the cause. As to the papers and briefs, he saw no reason why they should not be delivered up at once. They were the plain- tiff's. Mr Peiiibcrtot)-If tne plaintiff is to have the account opened, these papers will be the defendant's vouchers. The Court directed the papers and briefs to be pro- duced for inspection, but not the deeds. [With respect to the above case, we only know from general report that Mr Meyrick had strenuously exerted himself to recover a property which was in considerable jeopardy, that the litigation had been of the most protracted and expensive nature, and that he had eventually purchased the farm in question at a price at which the Marquess of Bute, and others, had refused it. We have not had any communication on this subject either directly or indirectly from Mr Meyrick; from the channel through which we have received the above information, we believe it to be the real statement of the case.

Harris.— Lord Denman, de- livered judgment in this case, which was an ejectment for copyhold premises, by the heir-at-law of the per- son last seized, against, olle wllo claimed as tIt person's devisee. The plaintif fsucceeded at the trial, but leave was given to the defendant to move for a non suit, or a verdict in her favour. The question was, whether the will, admitted "to have been duly executed, had been well revoked. The testator was much under the influence of Harris, who lived with him as house- keeper, but according tQ the testimony of a witness, to whom the jury gave credit, had frequent quarrels with her, and oil one occasion when irritated he threw the will on the fire. Slio rescuqd it, at which he expressed his displeasure. The paper in which it was wrapped was partially burnt. The will itself was not affected by the fire, and Harris kept it until after the testator's death. In another case tried between the same parties.the Court had decided that the will was not revoked in respect of the freehold estates passing under it. Their decision proceeded wholly on the statute of frauds, which applies to freehold and personal pro- perty, but not to copyhold property. In the present case, where the question was whether the circum- stances mentioned amounted to a revocation of a devise of copyfiold premises, the Court were of opinion that as the jury had been satisfied with the evidence, the verdict must stand, and the rule be discharged. ## [Law, the perfection of common sense!

Mr Francillon moved for judgment, and mentioned that the tenant was a lunatic and confined in an asylum, and that the declaration had been served upon the luna- tic's daughter, who resided upon the premises in con- ti-oversy, upon whom the declaration was served upon the premises. The Court was of opinion that the declaration ought to be served upon the lunatic himself, and re- fused the rule for the defect of such service. It was stated that no committee had been appointed.

THE TALES OF THE CIIUSAr)ERS.-Tlie first of these tales, which is entitled "The Betrothed," and to which Sir Walter Scott, was prompted by the conversations of his friend Archdeacon Williams on Welsh history auri aniiquices, was not a favourite with its author, who had been biassed against his offspring by the disapprobation of James Ballatitytie-- and, but that the greater part of it had been actually y printed, this piece would probably have been cancelled in disgust, although the merits of the second tale, "The Talisman," which was written before the com- pletion of the other manuscript, was felt by Ballantyne to be strong enough for the support of its weaker- twin. While Scott was hesitating whether to abandon or to finish "The Betrothed," the German newspapers announced a pew romance, by the author of 1Varerley jn and there was some ground for suspecting that a set of the suspended sheets of The Betrothed" had been purloined and sold to a pirate. This put an end to his scruples. So he finished "The Betrothed;" and early in June The Tales of the Crusaders appeared before the public, who received "The Talisman" with an enthusiasm which, as Ballantyne had foreseen, covered all the defects of its less brilliant companion. -Times.

General Sir John Colborne, K.C.U to Major General Lord Fitzroy Somerset, K.C.ii., dated Montreal, December 13, 1S37. I have the honour to acquaint you, that, on the re- turn of Colonel Gore from St. Ilvacinthe with part of the force under Jus command, I detached Lieut. Col. Hughes, of the 24th regiment, with ten companies, to attark the rebels which had entered St. Armand, from Swanton, in the United States; the brave and loyal vofunteers of Missisqui, however, had, previously to the march of that oflicer from St. John's, dispersed the Canadians of wilicii, he was in pursuit. They were commanded by Bouehette and Gaynon. I proceed this day, with all my disposable force, towards St. Eustache, in expectation of speedily putting down the revolt in the Grand llruJé, in the county of the Two Mountains. Head-quarters, St. Benoit, Grand Brule, Dec. 15, 1837. My Lor(f,-In transmitting to vou a copy of a dis- patch to the General Commnndin^-in-Ciiief, I beg to inform your Lordship, that I entertain no doubt that tiie revolt in Lower Canada is completely at an end. The whole of the habitans, who were in arms, in the county of the Lake of the Two Mountains, the most disturbed part of the district, since the commence- ment of the revolt, are returning to their homes, and bringing in their arms to my head-quarters. I have the honour to be, &c" J. CoMjoftNE, Lieut.Gen. The Right Hon. Lord Glenelg, her Majesty's Secretary of State, Colonial Department. (Copy.) Head-quarters, St. Benoit, Grand Brule. My I marched with the disposable' force under my command from Montreal, on the 13tb, and entered St. Eustache on the next day; this village had been occupied for 10 days, hv about 1200 rebels, commanded by Chenion and Girod, two of the most active of their leaders. On the appearance of the Queen's troops, the greater part of the rebels dispersed, bu-fc others remained, and fired from the chcrch and adjacent houses, which were taken without much loss. I continued mv march to St. Benoit, Grand Brule, this morning; a scat ion of the country in which more outrages had been committed than in any other part of the country, since the commencement of theTevolt. H appears that the rebel army dispersed yesterday and this morning the peasantry, which have been as- sembled, are bringing in their arms to head-quarters; and, I have reason to believe that, in every part of the country, the habitans have returned to their houses and that the revolt has been completely put down. Our loss has been inconsiderable the details of the march I shall take an early opportunity of communicating to you. I have the honour to be, &c. J. COLBORNE, Lieut. Gen. Major Gen. the Right Hon.

DESTRUCTION OF BEVBRLOO HOSPITAL BY FlitE. Brussels, Jail. 29. The old hospital of the camp at Beverloo is totally destroyed by a fire which broke out on the 19th, in the evening. It was ocnpied by a detachment of soldiers labouring under ophthalmia, and by the officer of the Board of Management. The magazines without exception, the accounts of the hospital, the strong chest of the director, are burnt, and the arms of the soldiers are lost. Some say five dead bodies have been found among the ruins, six of the blind soldiers were wounded, three of them very severely. 130 of those unfortunate men escaped from the flames in a state of nudity-clothing was provided for them.

MERTHYR TYDVIL, SATURDAY, Jan. 27, 183S. Ministers have allowed that little haranguer, Roebuck, to address the House on what he calls the Canadian cause. This proceeding would have been pronounced at once foolish and cri lUinal on the part of any other Cabinet. It is foolish, because in the first place this Roebuck is not the agent for the Canadas. An agent for;, province cannot be regarded as such, unless he is appointed by the provincial Legislature. Now Roebuck has Dot been sanctioned as agent by either the Legislative Council or the Governor, he has .simply been appointed by a vote of the Assembly, which Assembly has been already declared by the British Government to be unfit to exist, aud existing no longer. Its Speaker, Papineiw, and the author of all its resolution?, and, in fact, concentrating in his own p"rson tlie whole power of that factions assembly} being a fugitive from the law, proclaimed a traitor, and, with a thousand pounds set upon his head Roebuck himself having publicly used language at the Crown and Anchor arrogant and ferocious as could come from the lips of man The harangue of this person at the bar of the JToiise of Commons was exactly sr.eh as might have been exp2cted from the man and the occa- sion. It was the speech of a hireling for his mas- ters. A ten-pound fee upon the other side would have made this itinerant advocate swallow every syllable that he uttered, and declaim as furi. ously against Canadian insolence and ingrati- tude as he declaimed against Tvig'ish law and lenity. But the ^ood sense of England is no! to be thus beguiled. Any man may fabricate any number of complaints for any assembly under the sun. The true question in all cases is, whether those grievances have been practically felt; and the true answer in the case of the Canadas is, that there is no colony on the face of the earth, excepting that other great colony of England, New South Wales, which has ever thriven in population, commerce, civilization and comfort equally with the Canadas, since the close of the French war. What is it but the consciousness of this fact takes so many thou- sands out of England and Ireland yearly ? They know the Canadas to offer an easier, more pros- perous, less burthened and IlOfe productive life than even the mother country, confessedly as she is, in all these points, the head of the Eu- ropean world. But aiiothei question strongly bearing upon the whole matter is, VVrho are the men by whom ;ill those grievances have been so diligently preached iip ? Have they b(.cn friends to Mo- narchy? Have they not been notoriously Re- publicans? Have they been anxious that a single grievance should be redressed which would attach the people closer to Alon-trcliy ? Is it now not notorious that their determination was to separate the Empire,- to bring Canada under their personal controu!,—divide its offices and revenues among themselves and their faction, and imitate tl\e Democracy of the United States ? Has not the mask been thrown off, and is an English Legislature any longer to be insulted by listening to the gibberish of the masquera- ders? We find them all for their season, sor- rowing over their pretended grievances, as threatening to impair wilat was so dear to their innocent hearts—the English connexion but the moment in tviii, 11 they think they have gained all that is to be gained by the somno- lency of the British Cabinet, they burst Into open rebellion and then speak the truth at once and for the first time. Thus we have the rebel Mackenzie distinctly proclaiming to the United Statss that the object of the conspiracy was to establish a revolution; Thus the scoundrel Papineau, whom Roebuck had the unparalleled effrontery to panyg-erize at the bar of the House of Commons, has compelled the Government to denounce him as a traitor and offer a reward for him, dead or alive. Thus Nielson, and thus all have declared, that tbeir real object was not reform, but Revolutiou. Thus we have had Roebuck himself in this country extolling de- mocracy and declaring in the face of the Legis- lature that his principle was to do away with the Peerage altogether;" the inevitable result of in the opinion of every man ofcomn.on sense, would be a revolution. But would all this have been done but for the sufferance of democratic insolence at home? Is not Joseph Hume s letter to Mackenzie extaiit, tle black and while orator to the man now proclaimed a traitor, and then as much a traitor as be is at this moment? What is his language to this vil- lain, who, after kindling rebellion and bringing his infatuated followers under the bayoret, fled, leaving them to execution, and satisfied with saving his Own culprit life? What are Joseph Hume's words, under his own in the letter of March 29th, 1834, to this r(-I)el-" Your tri- umphant election on the IGth and ejection from the Assembly on the 17th, must hasten that crisis which is fa'3t approaching in the affairs of the Cunadas, and which will terminate in independence and freedom from the baneful domination of the mother country." This is Joseph's political Mil- lennium, the independence of Canada from the baneful domination of England." He then fur- ther exhorts his pupil to persevere in his praise- worthycourse.—"Go on, therefore, I beseech YOII, and success, glorious success, must inevit- ably crown your joint efforts." He then touches on another topic perfectly familiar to the specu- lations of the gallant Mackenzie,—" the pro- ceedin- s between 1772 and 17S2 ought not to be forgotten and, to the honour of the Americans, and for the interest of the civilized world, let thei.) conduct and the result be ever in view." The conduct of the Americans having been a ficti- tious clamour against grievances, their remedy rebellion, and their success a separation from what this person has the vulgar impudence to call "the baneful domination of the mother country b.LI:>.

It will be recollected, that on the unprincipled and most factious, ntwittnfortonateiv for the country the ,,iiccessfitil attempt to drive Sir Robert Peel from office, his retirement was accompanied by addresses from till the respect- able portion of the English community, expres- sive of their regret for the loss of his services as a statesman, and of their high respect for the man. These addresses,signed by hundreds of thou- sands of his countrymen, are now deposited in the muniment room of Drayton, amon°" the noblest of family records, and are subject matter for the future historian of England and her Worthies. But we question if these addresses, however gratifying to the feelings of the Minis- ter, could have afforded him more satisfaction, than when from the lips of the most factious of his opponents, the following truths were ex- torted, complimentary to the noble minded colleagues with whom lie was associated. In the late debate on Canada, Mr GROTE said "that Sir George Murray's conduct as Colonial Se- cretary was beyond all praise, and that well it would have been for England had all her Minis- ters been such as he." Mr Hume said that had Lord Aberdeen continued in office, there would have been no insurrection in Canada." Well might Sir Robert Peel observe, that nothing but unprincipled faction could have driven from office such Mimstcis as these whom their most violent adversaries were compelled to eulogize. But Truth is mighty, and will pre, vail". Faction is ephemeral, and born but to perish.

SWANSEA AND NEATH HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. —We have deferred the report of the General Meet- ing, anticipating the arrival of the President, but circumstances haveprevented Mr Vivian from leaving London, so that the second meeting has not taken place, nor the delivery of the inf-daii but we hear they will shortly be sent to the members to whom they were awarded. It has been determined that three shows shall take place this year, two at Swansea, and one at eath; and the schcdule will be prepared and sent to the members as soon as possible. The funds of the society are improving, but we are sorry to learn there tire still several delaulters. The challenge snuff-box was gained by Mr Vivian—two of the fancy prizes by Mr D. L!ewe lyti-tlie other by Mr Vivian. The pruning knives were awarded to Mr Lll'welyn'j. gardener, for the best basket of vegetables. The Honorary Secretary has informed us that it is the intention of the President not to compete for prizes, but to send his plants as usual for exhibition the effect of this will be, that possessors of smaller cbJlections of plants will be enabled to compete with each other with a better prospect of success. Mr Llewellyn has also handsomely expressed his desire to do evory thing he can to lor ward the society, and having been one of the most successful competitors, he has intimated to the sectetaiy that he will act in accordance with Mr Vivian, and send his plants as before for exhibition, but not as a competitor. We may therefore antici- pate no little rivalry amongst the other members.— Cambrian. [Wo have no room fur the list of prizes awarded at the Chrysanthemum show. Such notices to be inter- esting should be given at the moment. We received a report in print only on the 25th instant.] SVVA-,sE,(.- AcerDENT TO THE 131113TOL AND PEM- BROKE MAIL.—We have been requested by an eye witness, to give the following correct account of this occurrence on the 15th illst. The coachman was diiviugat the visual mail pace, both wheelers were trotting, and when within a mile of Bridgend, one of fore-axles broke, and the coach came down. The- coachman (Tuck) was thrown a considerable distance on his face, and received much injury the guard (Harris): escaped with a slight contusion. The passengers; wereuiilivi-t. The guard conveyed the bags by one of the mail horsey to Bridgend, and procured a post chaise- in which he carried them on to Swansea. From the- general opinion entertained of Tuck, as being a care- tul, sober, steady and obliging coachman, as also from the very upright conduct and excellent character given of the guard (Harris) who has been on tho- road for many years, we consider it but an act of common justice to give insertion to the above, as we Are led to belive that no blame can be .attributed to either of them. Weare glad to hear that pootf Tuck, though severely hurt, is out of darker. A meeting (tr the inhabitants of Swa", was, upon the requisition of some of the most rspedable of tho inhabitants, convened on Thursday last by the Mayor, for the purpose of considering the best mode of mifcU gating the sufferings and privations of the poor, wlion certain resolutions, carrying into effect the humane intentions of the requisitionists, were agreed to. The Mayor presided, and upwards of one hundred pounds was subscribed by the gentlemen present. A managing and also a collecting committee were ap- pointed, and it was agreed that the subscription money should be applied immediately to the purchase of coal food, and clothing, to be distributed among the de- serving poor of the town and neighbourhood. Wtr arc informed that owing to the severity of the weather their distress is great. Such benevolent interference on the part of the gentlemen and tradesmen of Swan- sea does them much honour, and it would be welt if their noble example were followed in every joww where there is suffering to be relieved. A sad accident occurred on the intended liie of'the> Taff Vale Railway, the latter end of last va(jelt, oppor- site Nantgarw. Two men were buried usdtr a poiitiiwi of soil in which they, were digging, Ijjdtwiien dis. covered, one was found crushed to- dratb, and the other so much injured that but Siint hopes of his. recovery are entertained. Both are unmarried htf. that was killed was to have been married this woek.. SrATE OF THE ROADS, Such was the sJiBoerv condition of the roads on Sunday evening, <-flie rain which fell on that day being almost "immediately frozen) that the horses could not dr:g the Cardiff Mail up the Quaker's Ynrd Hill, and the bags were- forwarded on horseback. They did not arrive in. Merthyr for several hours after the usual time. FIRE AT THE HAVOD ROLLING MILL.—Early Ont the morning of Monday last, a fire was discovered itir the engine-house of the copper rolling mill at Havod, near this-town, belonging to Messrs Vivian and Sous. The fire appeared to have commenced in the upper story of the engine-house, and rapidly extended to tllt root of the mill. Some delay took place before the fire engine of the Norwich Assurance Office, and that belonging to Messrs Williams, Foster, and Co. at the Morfa Copper Works—the use of which was wost liberally afforded—could be brought to the sp(it, attij. a still further delay occurred in getting them to. play on the flames, from the difficulry of procuring water from the canal, in consequence .)f the great thiekuessi of the ce. However, these difficulties having beeu overcome, and three fire-engines having been brought to play Oil the flames—the wind being from a very favourable quarter--the fire was speedily got under, and we arc happy to learn that the damage sustained is very being confined entirely to tho roof, and that the loss to Messrs Vivians will not exceed £ 3><> to £ i(K). The mills are expected to be again working in the course of a week, the machinery being uninjured. We have heard no sur- mise as to the origin of the fire, which however is believed to have been purely accidental.—Cambrian. Such was the intense severity of the frost towards the end of the last week that many of the most rapid stream., in the county were frozen over. The TatT above Cardiff Bridge, was arrested in its fastest low- ing current, and formed a sort, of small cataract over which the stream was frozen almost as fast as it flowed. The ponds broken on the Friday night for cattle to drink, were frozen in many places abovQ two inches thick on the following morning. Mr Murphy, in his almanack, has certainly innee some very happy guesses as to the state of tho weather. [So says the Times. Amongst the happy guesses of Mr Murphy was one that Wednesday J¡¡..#; should be distinguished by an universal thaw. A friend informs us that all London was indignant that its inllocent. confidence should have been thus betrayed., -ED,] A chemist remarked that all bitter things were hotf —what say you, said his hearer, to a bitter cold day SPRING CIRCUITS.
