TA'FFYLAN'Y.
[FOR THE GUARDIAN."] TA'FFYLAN'Y. a Hegeulr of RteU. [A few miles from Cardiff is a well of warm water which constantly bubbles up from the bed of the River TAFF. It is much in repute for its medicinal virtues, and resorted to by great numbers of invalids from all parts of the Principality.] Where the^TafPs translucent waters Wander on with rapid How, One of Cambria's plaid-clad daughters, When the sun was sinking low, Sat, and sang a mournful ditty, Sat, and sang she all alone, "Whilst the waters, as in pity, Took a sympathetic tone. False Llewellyn, falsc Llcwelhn" Was the burthen of her song- Anguish seemed her bosom swelling As the strain was home along; 'Twas good truth! a sight to melt one, —Those sweet eyes of tears so full, Through loves pangs—(Who never felt one) Eyes 'twere pity tears should dull. Far behind the mountain's hoary, Sank the God of light, and soon, Following in his path of glory, Star attended, rose the moon Paler seemed the love-lorn maiden, Faster fell her glittering tears, When a Sylph-like form arrayed in White, came on her unawares. "Ta'ffylan'y! Ta'ffylan'y!" (So was called the Cambrian maid,) Cease your sorrows-If I can I Wilt afford you peace and aid Cease now—in my secret dwelling, I've been listening to your plaint, All about young Pryce Llewellyn, 'Tis enough to vex a Saint! With ap Rice, ap Shenkin Morgan's Daughter, he has made a match But he'll quickly find his bargain, After all, is no great catch Old ap Rice's gold attracts him, Not his daughter Gwenny's eyes; And already has he packed him Self off with his bride and prize." Is he wed? gasped Ta'ffylan'y, Never heed, the Fairy said, I'll be down on him," Alaiiiii.* Hard shall be the false one's bed Little shall be worth his having That he gets from Morgan's house, Every horse shall have the spavin. And the murrain take his cows! Crops shall fail and barns shall perish, All his children shall be plain, Gwenny, whom he vows to cherish, Soon shall in the grave be lain; TTpon all shall lie a ban, I Will the plague be of his life- Then, perhaps, sighed Ta'ffylan'y, He will want a second wife. Higher as the moon was climbing, Lighter grew the damsel's grief, For she saw (believe my rhyme in) In the Future some relief; Slumber maiden!" said the Fairy, As she touched her with her wand, I am off, in pinion's airy, To my own enchanted land. O'er the mead a chariot's rumbling, (To your mortal sense unknown,) I can hear—so to a bundling,"t Little matter of my own I must go, a Fay expects me- Fairest he in all the ring If I'm late, and he rejects me, I shall sigh, like you, poor thing! In a green and cool pavilion, By broad fern-leaves, arched o'er, Where all azure and vermillion, Gleams the moss enwoven floor- Where the glow-worm in a prison Of the Harebell, swinging free, Lights the place, he waits for his'n," That, sweet Ta'ffylan'y's me." Swiftly on her gauzy pinions, Off the friendly Fairy flew, To those radiant calm dominions, Whose bright stars are purest dew— Ta'ffylan'y forced by magic, Slumbered near the murmuring stream, Where she had a very tragic Story told her in her dream. Of that vague, mysterious vision, Nought did e'er her tongue rehearse; But the maiden's sad condition, When she woke, was worse and wois?;" Chill night-dews were on her streaming, Vapours wreathing her about, ::> Did their work, whilst she was dreaming, And she caught Rheumatic Gout. As the morning-star comes peeping O'er the hill the maiden spies, By her side, a fair one weeping, Crystal tears from azure eyes,— Grief her snowy breast was swelling, Fay's, like men, are false,' she cried, Whilst the glistening tear-drops fell in Streams by Ta'ffylan'y's side, fill they filled a pebbly basin— Bathe therein,' the Fairy said, And each pain, will go away soon, From your throbbing heart and held- Fare-thee-well! the light that's breaking, Warns me-try my magic spell, 0 And poor Ta'ffylan'y, shaking, Plunged into the wondrous well. Ta'ffylan'y feels no longer, Pang of heart or pain of limb, Every moment she grows stronger, Whilst she takes her tepid swim Now, with footsteps light to smother Every sound her home about, Hies she, for her anxious mother, Never dreams her child is out. Pryce Llewellyn lost his cattle, Wife and children drooped and died, On his last cob left, and that ill, Rode he to the river side, There a fairy form assured him, Gold alone would never do, And his false love lost, adjured him, To "try on" again the true. Pryce Llewellyn soon was seated Close to Ta'ffylan'y's side, And all matters now completed, She was Pryce Llewellyn's bride Children came, of course, in plenty, Oft was heard their cheerful laugh, As they danced (there once were twenty Capering round the Well of Taff). Very near the Taff Yale Railway, Bubbles still the Healing well, Trains go to it, three times daily, Fares, the railway clerks can tell; Have you Gout or Rheumatism, Try the might of fairy spell- Take a sixpenny baptism In the waters of TafPs Well. Stitch, sciatica, lumbago, In that hurdledt well are lost- You may a much longer way go, At a larger rate of'cost— Such the tale in Taffs fair valley, Moonlit maids at night who go See the Fairy's mystic ballet, Hear their music soft and low. NEMO. O-Alanni or Alanna is said to be Irish but the Fairy might have been an Irish importation for all we know; and so av coorse." used her own term of endear uent. f The practice of" Bundling," or courting in bed, is even now common in Wales; and, as may he supposed, it imposes many burdens on the parishes. The supporters of this immoral custom assert, that it is not immodest! f Taff's Well is surrounded by a few straw hurdles, to one of -which is attached a pole, on which, whilst men are bathing, is mounted a hat; a bonnet on the same, denotes that ladies are having a dip, and warns any pryiug Act--on to keep at a respectful distance.

NON-PUNCTUALITY OF THE FAIR SEX. Madama De Genlis, in a work on the subject of Time, relates an anecdote of a certain Chancellor D'Aguesseau, to the following pur- port The Chancellor, observing that his wife always delayed ten or twelve minutes before she came down to din- ner, and being loath to lose so much precious time daily, commenced the composition of a work, which he prosecuted only whilst he was thus kept waiting. The result was, at the end of fifteen years, a book in three volumes quarto, which has gone through several editions, and is much esteemed." The anecdote is told as an illustration of the -value of time, and to show how much might be made of the very crumbs and parings of this valuable commodity. SHABBY HOUND.—A fellow who won't lend you another five pound the last having been duly paid—by the Statue of Limitations, SOVKREIGN REMEDIES.—A foreign paper gives the follow- ing as sovereign remedies for afflicting diseases :—For the gout, toast and water; hooping cough, ipecacuanha; bile, exercise; corns, easy shoes; blue devils, employment I rheumatism, new flannel and patience; tooth-ache, pluck it out debt, retrenchment love, matrimony. THE DofToit's HOY.—The boy is part of the master, and who does not hate the sight of a doctor ? He is looked upon as a necessary evil—an income tax—a thing that every man may abuse and cozen if possible. How cautiously the doctor's boy handles a knockcr he never gives more than a pat at a door, and as to a bell, he only tickles the clapper. His heart sinks at the click of the door-latch, for he dreads the reception from the servant. What, more sttifr Well, missus knows best if she wants to be a ivid(ter-Yoti'i-c nice- utis, you are as though the boy was au accessory before the fact to some medicated manslaughter. Whoever heard a doctor's boy whistle We can conceive the possibility ot such an occurrence, and imagine the air would be the Dead March in Saul. THE RULING PASSION.—It is remarkable that, with a highly poetical temperament, Sir Humphrey Davy seems to have been senseless to the beauties of art. The wonders ot the Louvre extracted from him no sign of pleasure lie paced the room in hurried steps, in apathy, roused only by the sight of an Antinous, sculptured in Alabaster;" "Gracious fican-eii he then exclaimed, "what a ùeautiful stitactite FATHER MATIIEW On the day we arrived at Cork, and as the passengers descended from the drag," a stout, hand- some, honest looking man, of some two-and-forty years, was passing by, and received a number of bows from the crowd around. It was Theobald Mathew, with whose face a thous: n I little print-shop windows had already rendered me familu r. He shook hands with thc master of the carriage very et rdially, and just as cordially with the master's coach- man, a disciple of temperance, as at least half Ireland is at present. The day after the famous dinner at --NI'Dowall's some of us came down rather late, perhaps in consequence of the events of the night before (I think it was Lord Bernard's quotation from Virgil, or else the abseive of the currant jelly for the venison, that occasioned a slight headache among some of us, and an extreme longing for soda water), and there was the Apostle of Temperance seated at the table drinking tea. Some of us felt a little ashamed of ourselves, and did not like to ask somehow for the soda water in such an awful presence as that. Besides, it would have been a confession to a Catholic priest, and, as a Protestant, I am above it. The world likes to know how a great man appears even to a valet-de-chambre, and I suppose it is one's vanity that is flattered in such rare company to find the great man quite as unassuming as the very smallest personage, and so like to other mortals, that we would not know him to be a great man at all, did we not know his name, and what lie had done. There is nothittir remarkable in manner, except that it is exceedingly simple, hearty, and manly, and that he does not wear the downcast, demure look which, I know not why, certainly characterises the chief part of the gentlemen of his profession. Whence comes that general scowl which darkens the faces of the Irish priesthood I I have met a score of these Reverend Gentlemen in the country, and not on3 of them seemed to look or speak frankly except Mr. Mathew and a couple more. He is almost the only man, too, that I have met in Ireland who, in speaking of public matters, did not talk as a partizan. With the state of the country, of landlord, tenant, and peasantry, he seemed to be most curiously and intimately acquainted; speaking of their wants, differences, and the means of bettering them, with the minutest practical knowledge. And it was impos- sible in hearing him, to know, but from previous acquaintance with his character, whether he was a Whig or a Tory, Catholic or Protestant. Why does not Government make a Pi ivy Councillor of him -that is, if lie would honour the Right Honourable body by taking a seat amongst them. His knowledge of the people is prodigious, and their confidence in him as great and what a touching attachment that is which these poor fellows show to any one who has their cause at heart—even to any one who says he has !—Mr. Tit- marsh's Irish Sketch Book. A DIVINE IN TROUBLE.—A short time since the impor- tant ceremony of expelling from the pulpit by authority took place in the Methodist Meeting-house at Atherstone. The unfortunate ex-minister, after having preached three sermons the previous Sunday, and partaken of the many good things in the way of eatables and drinkables (not being a thorough • teetotaller), on his return home from his religious duties, in an evil moment transgressed the seventh commandment, the observance of which he had been very particular that day in impressing upon the minds of his congregation and friends. The companion in evil of this "pious" transgressor is an idiotic girl, who, when questioned by the elders of the frater- nity, and by the wife of his reverence, made several disclo- sures of a nature which could not leave the slightest doubt on the mind of any persons of the immorality too truly ascribed to, and practiced by, their fallen brother on the present as well as on former occasions.- Leicestet- Journal. TRIBUTE TO A CLERGYMAN. A handsome silver ink- stand has been manufactured by Mr. Keeley, of New-street, Birmingham, for presentation to the Rev. H. T. Hill, of Lye, near Stourbridge. The inkstand bears the following inscription Presented to the Rev. H. T. Hill, A.M., by the congregation of Christ Church, Lye, on his leaving that incumbency, in testimony of their high sense of his kindness and attention during his ministry among them. June, 1843." INSURANCE. — The London insurance-offices have again increased their rates, in consequence of the recent fires in Liverpool. The increase is from twenty-five and thirty shillings per cent. to thirty-five shillings on floating policies, and on other kinds of policies in the same proportion. By this increaase the cost of insurance in Liverpool becomes very nearly two pounds per cent., whilst in London it is two shilliings and sixpence, and in Manchester five sililliilgg CIIARITADIE BEQUESTS.—The late Job Harril, Esq., of Bristol, has made the following bequests to charitable insti- tutions in this city: -To the Bristol Orphan Society, con- tingent oil the death of an elderly person, :C400 to poor men and women in Temple parish, the interest of £ 200 for ever; to the Bristol Infirmary, Eloo to the Bristol General Hospital, £ 100; and to the Bristol Strangers' Friend Society, £100. THE GROTS.—Barley is beginning to shoot into ear, and in many parts presents the appearance of being an excellent crop. The fine dry weather with which we have been favoured during the week has had a good effect on the wheat crops, and has enabled the farmers to commence the hay harvest in good earnest. In every direction hay is in cocks, and the luxuriant perfume which fills the air is truly delightful. This is really splendid weather, and the country is looking beautiful in consequence. Should it last, there is every prospect of a bounteous harvest. Upwards of fifty thousand labourers are at present em- ployed upon the St. Petcrsburgh and Moskow Railway. The whole distance will be nearly five hundred English miles and, nevertheless, it is confidently hoped that the gigantic work will be completed in less than two years. REBECCA AT CARMARTHEN. On the subject of the late riots the Times observes :— We observed about a week ago that" such events as those still unsuppressed tumults of Rebecca and her daughters" in ales, do make us seriously apprehensive" that the Government is not sufficiently alive to practical dangers." Outbreaks of this kind sometimes assume one pretext, sometimes another; but the cause which lies at the bottom is usually physical hardship. Men who have nothing to lose by disorder but their lives, and whose lives are not comfort- able enough to be worth much forethought,—these are the combustibles on which rebellion and tumult live sensible oppression or injustice is the spark which fires them. The south of Wales is unfortunately but too full of men whom the depressed state of the iron trade has already thrown out of employment—and, without entering here into a dis- quisition upon the Poor Law, we must beg to observe, that as that law stood prominent among the catalogue of their grievances, so their most daring, and, judging from the mul- titude of their forces, their most popular act has been the attempted destruction of the union workhouse. Now, is the Home Secretary aware of the present prospects of South Wales 1 The late construction of railroads, and other causes, gave during the few last years an immense im- pulse to the iron trade, called furnaces into existence, capital into action, hands into employment. Mines could not be worked or iron manufactured fast enough for the demand. These causes ceased. The immense sources of supply which the accidental demand had created went on casting into the market their thousands and thousands of tons of iron (for furnaces cannot be blown out and blown in again like a blacksmith's forge), till every avenue has been choked- every market at home and abroad glutted with their produce. We will not call this state of things over-production, as we are told the political economists wiUlaugh at us. But, what- ever its name, it has this ruinous effect, that it makes it im- possible for the producers of iron to go on manufacturing their commodity at a remunerating price. At present, rather than incur the heavy loss of stopping their furnaces, they persevere in producing even at a loss (as in the instance of the Ebbw ale works, now actually carried on by the assig- nees of the late bankrupt proprietors), partly in hopes that trade may revive, partly that the prior ruin of some less wealthy rivals may leave them in possession of a market in which demand and supply may bear a more reasonable pro- portion. The first of these hopes is for the moment visionary not so the other. It is, we fear, but too likely that the next few mouths may sweep away one-half of those establishments which are at present employing thousands of hands in raising and manufacturing iron. What will be the result in Carmarthen and Glamorgan- shire ? What will be the result when these thousands of men, already disposed enough to find fault with the Poor Law, are brought under its actual operation—when the ranks of'Becca are recruited by multitudes driven from their avo- cations by the ebbing of commercial prosperity, and indignant at the provision which the law offers for their support '? IN'ill the Home Secretary secure the country from the outrages of these new rebels, as they are too likely to prove, by enlarged relief, or by fresh troops of cavalry 1 It is in no triumphant or hostile, or even reproachful, spirit that we ask these questions. We ask them before the evil arrives, in order that those on whom the task lies may be prepared with an answer and, whatever that answer is—whether concilia- tion or force, may they exhibit it betimes, and not leave South Wales a prey to rapine and violeuce, DUFF11YN LLYNYI AND PORTHCAWL RAILWAY. The Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders in the above undertaking, was held at the Pyle Inn, on Monday week. The meeting had assembled on Thursday, the 8th of June, but the business was not then proceeded with, in consequence of the proprietors of fitty shares not having been present, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and also of an informality as to the time of calling the meeting. Among the shareholders present, we observed Sir Dighy Mackworth, Bart., Sir Robert Price, Rev. Robt. Knight, Rev. H. II. Ivaighl, Joseph Rusher, J. H. Allen, J. Halcombe, J. Rawlinson, Win. Llewellyn, Win. Jones, M. Moses, M. P. Smith, and J. M. Buckland, Esqrs., &c. It was unanimously agreed that the dlair should be occu pied by Sir Digby Mackworth, Bart., who said, that he would feel pleasure in presiding, in the absence of Mr. Merrnnan, whom he should have been glad to have seen at the meeting. He would first of all desire the secretary to read the advertise- ment, calling the meeting. The secretary (Mr. Bradley) then read the advertisement. The chairman then said, the first thing to he ascertained was, if there could be any possible illegality in their meeting --tll;kt was tlii-- t ine to iic,t-taiii it; because if there were, lie, as chairman, would not allow the meeting to proceed farther with business. The Rev. Itobt. Knight said, he did not feel inclined to raise the question but he felt hound to state that lie bad his doubts respecting the legality of the meeting. Notwith- standing that, he was not disposed to moot the question. Alter a long discussion, respecting the legality of the meeting, it was resolved to proceed with the business. The chairman desired the secretary to read the report of the committee, which occupied nearly half an hour. On the whole, it was a favourable report. Itanticipated an augmentation of traffic on the line, and called particular attention to the benefits likely to accrue from the discovery of blackband. It was also stated that a dividend of 4 per cent. would soon be paid the shareholders. Along conversation then took place respecting mortgage- bonds, which ended in a meeting coming to a resolution, that a one-tenth portion of the undivided profits of the Company, for the present year, be used to pay off mortgagees' claims. Mr. W. II. Buckland then moved, and Mr. M.P. Siniih seconded, a proposition, to the effect that the proceedings of the Committee be confirmed. The secretary then read a letter from the Maesteg Company, requesting an extension of tim' for the payment of an amount due to the railway company. Mr. M. P. Smith observed, that knowing the characters of the men concerned in the company's ailairs, he would propose that the time for paying be extended two years. The Rev. R. Knight, alter referring to the respectability and integrity of the partners, seconded the proposition. It was then unanimously agreed, that the licence be extended two years from the 18th June, IS43. Mr. M. P. Smith stated that Mr. Williams, the superin- tendent of the railroad, wished to make a communication to the meeting.—[Mr. Williams was then admitted to the room, and handed to the chairman a letter, applying for an advance of salary. The letter stated that when the company first en- gaged the writer, it had been stipulated that it he would succeed in performing his duties satisfactorily, an increase in salary would be given him. The letter concluded by appealing to the meeting, whether he had not succeeded better than anticipated in surmounting various obstacles, and removing many difficulties in the working ot the line. After a Ion,, and desultory conversation, it was resolved that Mr. Williams should devote the whole of his time to the superintendence of the Porthcawl and Dullryn Llynvi Rail- way, and that his salary for the future should be 1: 1 instead of £ 100. Mr. Llewellyn stated that the mail coachman had com- plained that the place where the railway crossed the turnpike road was quite dangerous. Mr. Halcombe asked if there were no report of the state of the road prepared. A short report, drawn up by the superintendent, was then read. It stated that the whole lille was greatly improved, compared with what it had been, and that malter would proceed prosperously, if labour, &c., were to continue at the same price as it is now. It was agreed that the report read, together with the report of the expenditure, &c., should be printed for distribution among the shareholders. Mr. Ilalcombe rose to move the appointment of a commit- tee. After the long meeting which had hitherto been peaceably and satisfactorily conducted, he hoped it would continue so. He had come among them the last time tIny met, as well as then, for the purpose of healing differences; and he hoped there would be no ripping up of old grievances. He considered they met as a company of railway proprietors, having the same interests in view, and nothing should be in- troduced contrary to the interests of the railway. They ought to have a fair committee of proprietors, and not of those only who had works, &c., on the line, though lie allowed there should he a fair proportion of those who had traffic. He w*sliccl-tlie names of the old committee should continue, with three Instead of Mr Talbot, Mr. C. Knight, and Mr. Bicheno, who retired, the three gentlemen he would pro- pose would be Mr. Llewellyn instead of Mr. Talbot, and Al r. Malins and Dr. Bowring, M.P., instead of the other two. I Ills He hoped some such arrangement would be entered into. He mentioned Mr. Llewellyn hecause he was connected with Mr. Talbot, who had great interest on the litif, and Mr. Malins and Dr. Bowring because they were extensively con- nected with the works in the neighbourhood. Mr. M. P. Smith observed, that Mr. liawliuson (Mr. Malins's partner) was already on the committee. Mr. Halcomhc said it was a large concern, occupying- a large portion of the road. He proposed Dr. Bowring because he was the principal partner in the Cambrian iron works. The chairman understood their was no objection made to Dr. Bowring and Mr. Llewellyn. It was unnecessary to give reasons for objecting to any one. He deprecated entering into personalities, and which would most certainly produce unpleasantness. He would recommend Mr. llaicombe lo produce his list. Mr. Halcombe produced the following list to be the com- mittee for the ensuing year: —Sir Digby Mackworth, Sir Robert Price, Rev. J. M. Traherne, It" v. Robert Knight, Rev. H. II. Knight, Mr. W II. Auckland, Mr. Rusher, Dr. Bowring, Mr. W. Llewellyn, Mr. Marriot, Mr. Smith, Mr. W. Jones, Mr. J. T. Jenkin, Mr. Malins, Mr. Rawlinson, Mr. J- H- Allen. Mr. M. P, Smith then proposed the following listSir Robert Price, Sir Digbv Mackworth, Rev. H. If. Knight, Rev. J. M. Traherne, Mr. W. H. Buckland, Mr. William Jones, :\1r. Joseph Rusher, Mr. Jenkin Thomas Jenkin, Mr. M. P. Smith, Mr. George Rawlinson, Mr. Marriot, Mr. W. Llewellyn, Mr. J. II. Allen, Mr. George Halcombe, Mr. John Morgan, and Dr. Bowring. A long discussion followed the reading of the two lists, which contained the same names, with the exception of those of one or two gentlemen. The Rev. Robert Knight then produced a paper, which he hall prepared. The chairman, upon Mr. Knight's commencing, said lie had not better introduce a subject for discussion, as it was irrevelant to the object of the meeting. Mr. William Llewellyn hoped the meeting would allow Mr. Knight to proceed. 11 Mr. Knight then read the f(,Iio,vin(,- piper:- Before we proceed to the election of a committee for the ensuing year, I feel that it is requisite in me to trouble the meeting with a few observations in reference to a controversy which has taken place between myself and some members ot the late committee, and others who, though they have taken a prominent part in the direction of the company's affairs, were certainly at this time twelvemonth ineligible to that trust. After much altercation and many disagreeable meetings (little, I fear, beneficial to the well-doing of our port and road), I found myself at the close of last, year hopelessly contending against an overwhelming majority in the committee of traders 7 on the road, with their friends and lessors. I asked them for bread, they gave me a stone. I urgell upon them the injustice of appropriating the whole surplus income to their own pockets, while the non-trading shareholders were starving. They told me if I did not like their proceedings to apply to the Queen's Bench for redress. I, however, had an alternative, and I adopted it, rather than the recommendation given me. I believed, and I am sure I have seen no cause to alter my opinion to this day, that the non-trading section of the proprietors have had abundant ground for complaint of the manner in which the affairs of the company were ad- ministered. I addressed myself to the principal movers in what I considered the illegal and objectioual transactions, in- forming them of the course I intended to pursue, aud was defied and threatened. I therefore published the letter, which I now hold in my hand, addressed to Sir R. Price, and the shareholders generally. The main facts stated in that letter are, I believe, unanswerable; at all events, they remain without anything like relutation to this day. But 1 atn here in my place at this hoard ready to prove, trom the company's books, the truth of the principal complaints I have itdvocated, or to answer any reasonable question that. may be put to me. After some weeks had elapsed, a pamphlet was,published and circulated, purporting to he an answer to my statements and regarded as an answer, I think I cannot more pithily dismiss it than in the words of one of our members, to whom it was sent for approval and signature. L ndoubtedly," says he, I shall Dot sign the intended letter to the shareholders, in answer to Mr. Knight's Circular, because, having perused it, I am of opinion that it contains no answer to Mr. Knight's charges, but rather seeks, by a personal attack ou himself, to divert the attention of the shareholders from the real matters at issue." On the subjct of that personal attack I am un- willing to trust myself. to make many observations at the present time. I have, in my reply to the answer of the nine, most emphatically contradicted the most important of the misrepiesentatious; and if any one now believes them, I thus publicly challenge an investigation. Before I quit this very disagreeable part of the subject, I cannot help faintly express- ing my unutterable surprise and regret, that any gentleman should have so far forgotten what was due, as well to me and themselves as to the whole body of shareholders, as to attest, by their signatures, the truth of certain transactions at which they were not present, and, consequently, could know nothing but by hearsay and upon being respectiully requested to give their authority, the one coolly tells ine he ''signed it in the full belief ot its being throughout the exact truth but if it was not so, not the truth, he adds, "you had better write about it to those who were present than to me, whom you know and acknowledge to have been absent." The other, the same friend who had previoulSly referred me to the Queen's Bench, writes to me-" You are zt,, are tlk,,tt I was not present at that meeting of the committee which appointed a sub- committee to prepare a reply to your pamphlet, but I attached my signature to it, because I deemed its contents correct. ou assert the statement at page nineteen to be a malevolent arnllihellolls falsehood. If that be the fact, the remedy is in your own hands "-by ni)if- actions for libel, I presume. I now come to the more immediate business of this day's meeting,—the appointment of the managing committee for the ensuing year aud in the published pamphlet which I have before alluded to, the nine subscribers distinctly tell you they fear it is not possible to act for the benefit of the company, Mr. Knight being upon the committee." And I now as plainly a-%k, Why ? Is it that any of my sayings or doings have been illegal, or injurious to the real interest of the dona fide non-trading section of the proprietors, or that I have proposed any measures, or made any contracts for my own special benefit and profit, or is it not rather that I have single handed exposed the participation in most injurious and unworthy conduct in all the nine subscribers,—my opponents ? For an answer to these queries, I would refer any inquirer to the minute books on your table. The fact Is, that in the committee of last year, Mr. Rawlinson, my son, and myselt, have represented the interests of more than 100 shares, the bona fide property of ourselves and eighteen or nineteen absent proprietors, who, being for the most part orig-inal sub- scribers, have paid a full £ 100 each for their shares, and have nothing to do with the works or minerals along the line of road, made the investment on the guarantee that all the surplus tolls, alter a fair and liberal provision for interest to the mortgagees, and the maintenance aud repairs of the road, should be divided amongst them. This is all, and, indeed, more than we require but for insisting upon some part of our dues, and for pointing out how the long-expected and promised consummation has been evaded, au adversely in- terested majority in your management declare they cannot act longer with me in the committee. But let us here, for a moment, look how this majority has been obtained. The nine gentlemen signing the answer were at that time, and, I believe, are now, the real owners of 118 shares, on which, in conformity with the spirit and intention of the act of parlia- ment, they could only have given Ii.) votes; add to this about 30 or 3.1 bona fide proxies, and you have their proper strength but in consequence of the extraordinary amount of business lately done in one hundred pound Porth Cawl Railway shares, at one shilling and five shillings each (and be it here observed that the whole capital has been paid up, and the concern is now returning an income of something' very nearly approaching to £;j,í)!)iJ per annum), these nine subscribers will, by themselves and their agents, bring some- where about 150 votes to bear against the humble individual now addressing you. I am not at all unprepared for this. I have long known the perversions and misrepresentations which have been industriously circulated among some of the timid and the less stable of our shareholders to induce them to revoke their ptoxies, or to deter them from voting at all. I, however, have not been, nor shall I be, in the least dis- mayed or iniluenced by such conduct. I conscientiously assert I have 'dui-iii,(r the eighteen years in which I have taken an active part in the management of your affairs, endeavoured to be legally, beneficially, and morally right in all the measures I have proposed or persisted in. If I lia e failed, you must impute it to a deficiency of judgment rather than to any wrong intentions. Before I sit down, I must take the liberty to call the attention of those gentlemen who are not so intimately acquainted with what is, and what ought to be, the state of our exchequer, as some of us who have better oppor- tunity of looking at these details undoubtedly are, to the annual statement of accounts on the table. It is there shown that the gross income of the last year amounted to £4,044 Is. lid, being an excess over the previous year's receipts of £ 4.(50 14s. fid. But it is right the shareholders should know, that had the managers on our road been paid, as the act of parliament directs, and as I have been contend- ing tor, the available receipts would have been more by E-d 71 18s. 5d. and instead of E 1,044, the company's income would, the last year, have been more than £ 4,800. So much for the benefit of the contracts to the non-trading share- holders. I have only to add, if a majority of the proprietors considfr that my past services and exertions on behalf of the absent.sharehold rs, as well as for my own interest, entitle me to a re-election of their committee, I shall endeavour faithfully and fearlessly to fulfil the trust reposed in me. If, on the other hand, a majority of this meeting, unfairly composed as I know it to be, shall declare either that I am too good or too bad for them, I assure you it will not discompose me for five minutes. My residence is yet "near the spot j" and, with the restless and persevering temper" imputed to me, I believe I may be of as much service, and it will be quite as agreeable to myselt occasionally to meet the gentlemen of the committee at Porth Cawl under the 49th and otJth clauses of our act of Parliament as under the 45tli." The chairman observed, that he was fully aware of the in- convenience and unpleasantness of entering upon the subject he had been so desirous of avoiding, and he regretted that Mr. Knight had done so. IJe was sorry to observe, that it had never fallen to his lot to hear a greater tissue of misrepre- sentations than those made by Mr. Knight. He did not object to Mr. Knight personally; but it was well known, that when the rest of the committee were unanimous, Mr. Knight was the soleopposer. He (the chairman) was not interested in the traffic along the line. He had no interest in the works, but was a mere landowner, and let out his minerals to he worked by other parties, and would not, for many years, derive an increase of one shilling from them. Mr Knight t had called the attention of the meeting to the letter which lie read. lie (the Chairman) had taken care that the contents were correct, for lie was present, and could bear testimony to the accuracy of the facts. Everything could be positively asserted. Mr. Knight:—Asserted? The chairman — Yes, he would say that every statement was capable of assertion. He would say "asserted, because that was evidence in a court of justice, were matters were de- cided upon an assertion upon oath. He would refer to another suh¡tct which had been alluded to, which he did not like entering upon. He referred to the bounty granted upon coal. He did not say that it might not have been strictly leg-aI-strictly in accordance with the Act of Parliamrnt; but it had been adopted by very large companies, who had been benefitted by the adoption. The Monmouthshire Canal, for instance, had granted a bounty on coal. The chairman then read the proceeds of the line during a series of years, to prove that the bounty on coal had greatly increased the traffic. It would be perceived, that since the bounty had been allowed, the traffic had been nearly double what it formerly had been. He (the chairman) could not attribute the increase to any other cause. It was evident that there had been a great in- crease, and at a period when trade generally had greatly diminished. He did not wish to attribute motives to any one; but if what Mr. Knight brought forward was disapproved of by all the members of the committee but himself, he would not merely give his reasons for objecting, and then concede to the majority, but would endeavour to move heaven and earth to defeat their ends. He considered his judgment to be so snperior to that of the whole committee. llev, Robert Knight :—No no. The chairman did not mean to say that Mr. Knight was so in opinion, but he was so in effect. The bounty on coal had been considered illegal, and would be discontinued after the 30th of this month, ft was ot no heueiit to Sir Robert Price more than to other freighters. The paper read by Mr. Knight was of so desultory and general a character, that it was im- *1)1 possible to go all his charges. The chairman then referred to what he thought to be fictitious transfer of shares by Mr. Knight. The Rev. R. Knight would give his word that they were bontÎ fide sales. The chairman proceeded :—They might have obtained a much larger majority bv selling shares. It was a very singular fact, that all the shares referred to did, at one time, belong to Mr. Knight. (Hear.) He was also surprised that Mr. Knight should have accused the committee of frightening old ladies. He was sorry to appear in what almost be considered an unchristian attitude. Ile liadainiost expressed a wish that Mr. Knight should be elected; but in that case, they would have nothing but quarrelling and dissension. It might be supposed that when nine gentlemen were unanimous, they might he right, and Mr. Knight wrong; but Mr. Knight 11 9 had,no notion ot conceding to the majority. The Rev. R. Knight denied having accused the committee of frightening old ladies. Mr. J. H. Allen believed that the expression made use of was frightening timid shareholders. Mr. M. P. Smith asked whether lie was- referred to in the charge against them ot' having frightened timid shareholders. The Itev. II. II. Knight contradicted the Rev. Robert Knight's assertion respecting having been threatened with proceedings in the Queen's Bench. That was mentioned because the committee had heard it reported that a mandamus would he issued. Sir Robert.Price, after a few observations, contended that they (the committee) were not the !irst to transfer shares. He e ti saw that Mr. Knight was not such an influential man in the company as he (Sir R, Price) thought he was, as he had no more than 10 shares, whereas he formerly had 2; Mr. Rawlinson said they were his sharcs- A shareholder asked if they were real sales, and if tha money had been paid for them. Mr. Knight thought that a rather impertinent question, after he had stated on his honor as a gentleman, that the transaction was a bona fule one. What right had any gentleman to inquire, whether he (Mr. Knight) was paid in meal or malt, in iron or by bill but even it they were merely transferred, Mr. lhaherne was the first to transfer to Mr. Titl It, t shares, to be used against him (Mr. Knight,) but they were taken back because they were not used against turn. Sir Robert 1 nce^ denied that they were taken by Mr. Traherne trom Mr. lalbot, in consequence of their not having been used against Mr. Knight. A long and desultory conversation ensued, and the meeting afterwards divided, when there appeared for Mr. Smith's list, 162 shares ;—for Mr. Halcombe's list 1U).—The gentlemen named in Mr. Smith's list were consequently declared to be committee for the ensuing year. '1 he sum ot £ 00 was then voted for the current cxpences of the committee. It was agreed that the next annual meeting should be held at Bridgend.
IREBECCA AND HER DAUGHTERS.~
REBECCA AND HER DAUGHTERS. A contemporary, the Cambrian, whose veracity to the scene of the late disturbances has enabled him to give more detail than we had space for in our last, and contains the following pi,rticulitrs A correspondent informs us, that, on'Saturday night last, a party of about 30 Rebeccaites destroyed another toll-gate situate near the town of Narbeth, on the Whitland trust, together with the toll-house, They accomplished their work without any interruption, and 'afterwards marched off triumphantly, not one of them being recognized. Some of our contemporaries assert, that the Rebeccaites are always under the command of a particular individual, and that they never set about their depredating performances excepting when headed by that individual, who some even say, is a county magistrate,andamanof fortune. Such reports may be well calculated to please those readers who are fond of the marvellous, but we would rather confine ourselves to what is really true. On the same night (Saturday), the Narberth gate was destroyed, and we also tlt,.(Ierstati(I tilitt the Ponty- berem gate and house were burned to the ground, which prove that Rebecca may be in several places at one time, or rather that there are several Ttebecc iits. On Tuesday last, two gates in the neighbourhood of St. Clears were entirely destroyed, and on the same one at Llanddarog and another near Cross Hands, on the Llandilo road. Our correspondent at Cardigan states that Rebecca is the sole topic of conversation there, and the inhabitants trembling lest she should pay them a gate- destroying visit. Thesame correspondent encloses us the follow- ing address to Rebecca and her Daughters, issued by E. C. LI. Hall, Esq., Barrister-at-law — <> WELSHMEN, you have sent me a letter commanding me to appear on Wednesday night at Blaennant-lane, armed and disguised. That your object is to obtain redress, for some of the grievances with which you are oppressed, is evident. But this is not the way to obtain such redress. f have been, as you know, labouring for years to gain you the rights of tree 111"11, and now that I begin to see the possibility of doing some good for you, you step itt, and by your violence and folly hinder me in the good work; and instead of hastening the time when all your grievances will be at an end, your nonsen- sical extravagance gives an excuse to your oppressors for refusing to listen to your complaints and the redress you seek is further off than ever. Get one griev<in<-e redressed at a time. The magistrates and trustees of the Newcastle and Carmarthen trust have appointed Friday the '2.Jd inst., to overhaul the grievances connected leitlt that trust. I have been retained on the part of the men of the hundred of Upper Elvet to represent their interests at su -h meeting. Do you think I will neglect my dutyt Do you think it is likely I should flinch from insisting on justice being dim: to tlte people l Or do you think that I am ignorant of the means of screwing it out from the trustees, let them be as reluctant as they will/ They have not been accustomed to be brought authoritatively to account. Like young colts not broken, they must be treated at first both gently and firmly. DJ you think any firmness is wanting in me? Why then will you do anything that will prevent my getting the bridle into their mouth? Do you think I can countenance Or join your riotous proceedings ? I tell you No. And what is more, though I have fought, am fighting, and will continue to ifght your battles, until I can obtain perfect justice and political regeneration for you wnd your children. I am and will always be the first man to keep the Queen's peace, and prevent anything like rioting or dis- turbance. Enough has been done alreit(ly' ti) convince the Government of the great and universal discontent which your grievances have caused among you. They have sent down fl) i,) et soldiers to keep the peace. I tlie)*e i,e itol e together on Wednesday night. I have written for the soldiers to come here and prevent your doing any mischief if you istiotilki. Why will you hinder me from lighting your battles in the only way in which we can be successful; and by your violence and absurdity, which can do no good, turn me from a friend to an enemy ? Your conduct is childish and absurd and not like wen who have great objects to attain. Why will you exhibit folly when wisdom is required? Tlte penalty for pulling down a Turnpike House is transportatiun for life. hat good can you get by running such a risk, when vou may attain every thing you ought to have, in a peaceable and quiet manner,without running any danger whatever? I can only attribute it to your ignorance, which prevents you from being able to guide in its proper course the great & irre istable force which you possess. A hundreth part of your strength properly applied, will do more for you, arid without risk, than a thousand times your power wasted iu the absurdities you have lately indulged in. Be guided by me. Do what I tell you, and you must be victoriux in the end. Go ead. one to your own homes on Wednesday night, peaceably and quietly. On Thursday morning, let each parish choose two delegates to come to me (as the parishes in the huudred of Upper Elvet have done), to make me acquainted with your grievances, and their follow implicitly the advice I shall give them. If you do, peace and prosperity will be sure to return to you If you do not, I shall leave you to enjoy results of your ignorance and folly. Enw. Cn. LLOYD IIALL. Emlyn Cottage, Newcastle Emlyn, June 20, 1843. A Correspondent, at Llandyssil, informs us, that Cardigan- shire, which had been a proverbially quiet and undisturbed part of the country, has latierly become the scene of continual depredations. Last week, a little thatched cottage, in which a woman resided who received the tolls at Fontweli gate, near the village of Llandyssil, was burnt to the ground, though no fire had been lighted in it since the preceding day. The next house was with considerahle diilinllty saved from th devour- ing element. On the night of Friday last, the toll gate at Pontweli and that at Troedyrhew.bribin, both of which are near Llandyssil, and on the road bet. een Newcastle Eiulyn and Llandovery, with the gatehouse belonging to the latter (the other having been destroyed as stated above), were entirely (if-inolislied by a crowd of disguised individuals. Our correspondent adds, They were so daring, and assumed such au authoritative tone, that they forcibly compelled those whom they met to join them in the work of destruction. ion. They compelled even the toll-receiver and special constable to strike the Illst hI ow at thc gates. They carried fire-arms with them, which they discharged." Bwlch-clawdd gate, in the parish of Llangeder, Carmarthenshire, was destroyed on the same night. Oil Monday, a letter signed Eliza," and dated at Conwd, was left at the house of a person residing at Llan- dyssil, by a person unknown to the servant, and who immedi- ately decamped after delivering it. The writer requested, or rather commanded the individual to whom it was addressed under pain of a nocturnal visit, to summon all the inhabitants of Llandyssil to meet the writer that night at the gate of Llanvihaiigel-yeroth, which she intended destroying. The receiver of the letter, alarmed at the consequences or neglect- ing refusing to obey the orders ot his fair, though unwelcome, correspondent, sent the crier to publish the contents of the letter throughout the village. Eliza faithfully kept her ap- pointment, and passed through Llaudyssil with a large party, who were disguised and armed with guns, which they discharged at intervals. A great number of the peaceably- disposed inhabitants of Llandyssil, struck with terror at Eliza's threats, joined Rebecca's children, and marched to the Llanvihangel-yeroth gate, a distance of three miles, where all were "compelled to labour hard in the work of destruction, a' lie amill the cheers, howlings, and sometimes horrid screeches of Rebecca and her children." In a short time, the gate, posts, &c., were entirely destroyed and carried away by the crowd. We have been informed by a gentleman who travelled through Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire on Wednesday, that the effect on trade and bisiness generally, produced by the lawless conduct of the Rebeccaites, is most deplorable"; not only are the inhabitants in a state of great personal fear, but trade is stagnant and dull in the extreme. He adds, the farmers, who expect by such violence to redress their grievances, must surely forget that prosperity and peace are handmaidens. How-do they expect those who usually visit watering and country towns for recreation, to locate where the iron rule of might sets herself in array gainst law and order? Tenby is suffering greatly, and the tanners ought to recollect that their produce will remain on their hands if there are no persons to buy the county-rates also must be enlarged, and not diminished, by the additional expenditure thus thrown upon thrn.
