POLITICAL LUKEWARMNESS.
POLITICAL LUKEWARMNESS. V,Is OlLi Jt,iiii-;oti, I think, who said he t)ked"a?ood ltater b'-in?snretbat the breast in Wllidl I a sound hearty feeimg of .my kH.d took up its abode, there must be something good about it, and that the man's j heart must be in the right place. I think so too, Sir: and I ri¡.d¡t IJ am ) to "ee you stirring up those iiberais"— liberals indeed 1 —who arc too une,orlsh?t']df'av.too fdise and wishywashy, to stick to their party. For my part, I hate your hall-and-half people—felicuvs who have not iieart enough to say their polities are their own. Good i never.came from a mail who had no opinion of his own, or wno was ashamed to avovv. it. I desp-se these timorous j tune-serving animals. Depend upon it, when a man has "no politics'—whe.i he makes, as you said, no distinction betw?fn foes and .friends, and would aasoon serve ''I: enemyutciviI and religious freedom ?sonf of the most uncompromising adherents to the Rights and Liberties of the People, depend upon it. it the cock crows three times before he denies his principles, it is only because the temptation to play the part of Judas lsc<iriot has not ar- rived. T heartily join with you, Sir, in savin?, that those who hre nut/w Reform, are ajuinst it. We either believe ordtsbelicve-it thehttter, Lnkewarmness, Political Indifference, Latitudinarism, and anythingarrism will be manifest; but if oil the contrary, we believe, if we hrdd to toe good faith, that the greatest happiness of the greatest j number is God's rule and ought to be the Government's, then, my friends, we ought to be earnest Reformers, we ought to advocate reform early and late. It i- our I bounden duty to do so—it is a duty tor the neglect of the due performance of which, we are answerable at the bar of pnbhcoptnion; and [or wInch. I ven]v beHeve. weshuH be held responsi jle at a higher tribunal. No good reformer will persecute his enemies or injure them, it, aiiN, way, but short of persecution and exclusive dealing, we cannot by our lives make too tt.aniicstthe political faith that IS in lis. It IS ollr duty, my .friends, as men, as C hristians, and Re- formers, to sliyw that we are in earnest-and, moreover, to let our ligiu so shine, that tnir hearts mav be seen inlo through our words and our actions.- I am.

THE AGRICULTURAL INTEREST.…
THE AGRICULTURAL INTEREST. We borrow the concluding passage of a long article in list Wednesday's Stuu/lard, principally, though not ex- clusively, for the purpose of showing that the disunion, the existence of which has been conjecturally asserted by the Welshman, is now admitted even by its principal organs. The Tariff vias the principal subject of discussion in each of the houses of parliament last night. (Observes the Standard), As to the ridiculous analogy between the possible supply of corn and the possible supply of cattle, we have already answered it in saying, that in the case of corn the British farmer would have to compete with the whole world, whereas it is physically impossible that in the case of cattle he can have to contend against more than a very limited area. This answer was last night given by Lord Sandon, of course in better language, and with more effect. Major V ivian's motion was rejected by a majority of 121 to 32. Some other articles of the tariff were then discussed, but they are not important. We have scarcely anything to add to what we have already said upon the subject of the two mghts ùebate. We have not the least doubt of the perfect honour and perfect sincerity of the gentlemen who voted in the several minorities, but we *nUst regret that that they placed it in the power of the Whig-Radical opposition even to seem to support d Conservative ministry. We can scarcely hope that anything we have said or can say will convince these gentlemen that their views of the effect of the tarifl arc mistaken but we would submit to them that there is another consideration. From the first they must have been conscious that the success of their opposition was hopeless. Why then give to the enemy the advantage of a division in the Conservative party, though it be but a temporary and limited division ? 1 he case is surely not a pressing one. Suppose their worst fears from the tariff to be well-founded, years must elapse before the lightest of these fears can be realised. The competition of flocks and herds not yet in existence w not an immediate or even a proximate danger, and the determination of the ministers, even though a bad one, is "one of tlioqe Mala consilia tjuse non revocari possunt." It will be always open to parliament to revise the tariff, and ample time must intervene for the opportunity to watch its progress and effect. We, for ourselves, have no doubt that 10 years henep) (and the experiment will hardly have time to commence its trial before that date), men who now fear will smile at their present fears but even should we prove mistaken in this respect, there can he no reason to apprehend that a tiritish, parliament in 18,52 will not be as faithful guardians of British interests as a British parliament in 1842; and it is quite plain that the debates of the last two nights catinot influence the result one wav or the other, although they exhibit an unlucky difference of opinion in the party of the country."
PARLIAMENT OF THIS EVENING.…
PARLIAMENT OF THIS EVENING. I The House of Lords did not sit this evening. I HOUSE OF CO.Il.NIONS-Tiiis DAY. 1 The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock; but for Upwards of half an hour there was no business of any description before the house and at one period not 30 members were present. Mr. S. Wo RTLEY presented a number of petitions from places in Yorkshire, praying for a total repeal of the New Poor-hw Act. Mr. SIIAW presented a petition from a place in the county of Clare, in favour of the system of church educa- tion in Ireland. Mr. VILLIERS presented seven petitions from places in Lancashire against all duties on provisions. THE INCOME TAX AND Til E SUFFRAGE. I Sir C. APIER gave notice that, in the event of the I ti- come Tax Bill passing into a law, he should move for leave to bring in a bill early next session to allow all per- sons who came under its operation the privilege of vo- ting in elections for members of parliament (hear). SLAVERY. I Sir CL CLRRK gave notice that on Friday next he I should ask leave to lay on the table three bills, the object of which would be for the better preventicn of foreign slavery. RAILWAYS. I Sir R. INGLIS inquired if instructions had been issued from the Board of Trade to the railway companies, directing them not to lock the carriages which conveyed passengers ? and, if so, whether any of the railway direc- torsobjected to comply with the order ? Mr. GLADSTONE said, the Board of Trade, since the late melancholy accident in France, had requested the directors of the different railways to give orders that pas- sengers' carriages should not in future be locked and he had no reason to suppose but that that recommendation would be attended to. On the contrary, he had every reason to suppose that the recommendation would be universally adopted. THE TARIFF. On the motion of Sir R. PEFL, the house went into I committee on the Customs Acts Bill. I [Left sitting.] EPSOM RACES (THIs DAY.)

HF.R MAJESTY'S BIRTH-DAY.— Claremont, May 24.— At an early hour this morning the bells of the parish church were rung 't Illerry peal," in honour of the anniversary of the birth of our beloved Sovereign. The ringing was continued at intervals throughout the day. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal are in the enjoyment of excellent health. THE SPITALFIELDS BALL.—The effect of the patro- nage by her Majesty of the production uf British si k manufactures has tended to create an extraordinary im- provement in the silk trade. It may not be generally known, that the object of the Spitalfields weavers' ball is for the purpose of raising funds towards the erection of the building where the children of the Spitaluelds weavers may be educated, in order to promote the invention of design for the fabrication of silks. THE ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.—The first sailing match of the above club, under the patronage of her Majesty and Prince Albeit, is appointed to take place on Saturday, the 4th of June, when three superb pieces of plate will be sailed for by yachts, belonging to members of the club. There is no Foreign News of any general interest.
CARMARTHENSHIRE.
CARMARTHENSHIRE. PETTY SESSIONS.—.SHIRK HALL, MAY 21st.— Held before Daniel Prytherch, TholUa Jones, John George Philipps, Henry Lawrence, David Davies, and It P. Beynon, Esquires. Thomas John appeared to an- swer the complaint of John Wafers, hsijiure, for leav- ing his service without his consent: Mr. Simons attended on behalf of the complainant; the case being fully proved a portion of the defendant's wages was ordered to be de- ducted this was the only case heard to-day. The Justi- ces then went through some unimportant business. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—Last Wednesday night, a dreadful accident occurred in Green Castle wood, near I Carmarthen. It appears that a butcher, named William Edwards, having bought an ox rt Pentowin, was proceed- ing with the animal homeward, through the wood, when he fell and broke his leg. The poor fellow, of course, unable to walk and being out of the reach of all human aid, lay in the wood suffering severely from his fractured limb all night, and what is wonderful to state the ox staid by him all that time. He was not discovered till the following morning, when lie was conveyed to Carmarthen, where surgical assistance was procured; he is now doing well. • I The Carmarthen Cricket Club acting on the good old principle that practice makes perfest," are playing I away with nil that spirit and perseverance winch is neces- sary to ensure piofieiency in one of the best and most manly games in the wsrlcl NATIVE ART.—Amongst the pictures now exhibiting at the Royal Academy is the Re eerie of Alnaschar, by our fellow-townsman, T. lirigstocke. We ourselves have not enjoyed the gratification of seeing the picture a London contemporary, however, speaks very tilvourably of it, but less so than it merits; for we have seen paintings of Mr. T. lirigstocke which evince a truthfulness that is excelled by no liv Itigirti,t Titere is something so sublimely ridicu- lOlls ill the expression of the whole figure that the spec- tator turns to look ap;ain: The artist has evidently studied his subject closely. The fifth brother of the barber, who begged by night for a living by dav, was likely to be, as he is here represented, a fleshy, idle rogue, with a busy fancy. His suddenly acquired'seven hundred pieces of silver' having exalted his imagination as well as his person to an elevated place,' all the pompous display of suck a millCl is happily depicted by the fore-shortened portion ot the body, and the mock contempt of the countenance of one who will look at a submissive wife from the corner of his eye, and command her to remain standing that she may taste the savour of humiliation,' and then, at further supplication, spurn her with his foot, and awake to the full extent of his folly. In execution, both as regards drawing and colouring, the picture is admirable, and its merits will we have much hope and little doubt, elevate this artisan to the position to which his talents entitle him." HIGHWAY RIIBBL.Ry.-Saturday, the 21st. inst., as Mr. Rees, of Pen Ian, was proceeding along the Cardigan Road, he was stopped by two persons, who he thought wished to rob him a police officer was sent for aiil the persons were taken to the Station house in this town, when the Inspector declined taking them into custody on a charge of robbery; however, on Monday, a summons was taken out dgainst each of the persons for all assault The case will be heard to-morrow, and we shall be able to give further particulars next week. BRUTALITY TO ANIMALS.— A correspondent informs us )f one of the most brutal and atrocious acts of cruelty towards a dumb animal which has ever fallen within our notice. It seems that the inhuman fellow who coinmited the following act is a person who resides nearCarmarthen, but we are sorry that we are not enabled to give his name. The particulars of the case are thus:—It hap- pened that 2 or 3 donkeys, belonging to a poor person residing at or near Llanstephan, had trespassed on the lands of the person above noticed, and, consequently, when he found them, he immediately pounded them, but seeing that the owner did not come for them on the second day following, he took one of the poor animals out of the pound, and struck him with a hatchet on its head, but not so forcibly as to deprive the poor animal of his life he afterwards caused a large hole to be dug ill the earth, about 4 feet deep, and threw the poor crea- ture alive into it, and afterwards filled it up with earth and it is said the groans of the poor animal, for hours after its inhuman persecutor had thus interred it, were truly distressing. The monster, if we may call him so, prevented anybody from extricating the donkey, and left it thus to be smothered in the grave in which he had the villainy to inter it We understand (and we are very glad ot it too ( that this man (.')—-monster is to be pro- ceeded against hy the" SJciEty against cruelty to ani- mals." May he be well fiai/ed by the gents, of the long robe for his barbanty. Silurian. FOREIGN CATTLE.—The Hon. Mr. Trevor. a member for the coiinty, voted on Monday, in the ministerial ma- jority of 38t), against the motion of Mr. Miles, who sought for a larger amount of protection to our breeders of cattle than that which is proposed by the new Tariff. Mr. Morris, the member for the borough, voted on Mr. Miles's amendment in the minority of 113. On Friday last, Mr. James Rowlands, son of the Rev. Daniel Rowlands, of Llanllwch, near this town, was ad- mitted a Member of the Royal College of Surgeons. IVORITEs.-I,ast Tuesday, the Female Ivorites; ac- cording to annual custom, dined at the Victoria, Laugharne, the cuisine of which inn is first-rate. Before dinner they went to Church in procession, with two splendid banners streaming gai:y in the air. And after dinner they were joined by a party of fashionables, and dancing com- itieiiced with spirit. A QUICK PASSAGE. Last week the IJtiaries, Marker, master, for Lhulelly, performed her passage from Bristol, to Rossilly Bay in the short space of seven hours. THE WEATHER.—Since our last publication rain has falleu in abundance. Will there be any public dinners here to celebrate her Majesty's Birth-(fay ?-better late than never. Other parts of the Principality have dined and drunk in cele- bration of the anniversary. Are the diners-out of Car- marthen to be disappointed, or are they to have an oppor. of evincing their taste, and displaying their loyalty BEGGARS.—A board, inscribed with a notice that the police have orders to take up every person found begging in the town, might be placed at each of the principal en- trances to Carmarthen, in order to protect the inhabitants from the trampers who are perpetually knocking at people's doors. To answer the polite calls of the mendi- cant tribe at morning, noon, and night, really every house ought to have a porter. The nuisance is rendered the less tolerable, by the fact of our having so many resident poor-aiid such enormous rates. NUISANCES.—We are sorry, but not surprised,that the nuisances which we have pointed out still remain una- bated. The bill-sticking proceeds as ustial. Is it pro- per ?-is it decet,t to bill the very cliureli-gates ? Is not the air of squalid poverty about the entrances to them (especially to St. David's, with its wretched shed-like strips of unpainted plank.) sufficiently disgusting, but that the public should be shocked by all sorts of placards ? If such nuisances are not disgraceful, and it they do not deface the entrances to a sacred edifice, we really do not know what can be so held. Then the Monument, we repeat, is a standing reproach. And surely, ifainanument,crecte(I iiilionotirofoileof the heroes of Wales, must remain a monument ot our poverty, we need not permit every filthy bill-sticker to bedaub it with bills. If poor, we may, at least, be cleanly and de- cent i-nay, it is disgraceful not to be so. In noticing the several nuisances of the town, we, of course, have no other interest to serve, or object in view, but the good of the town. We disclaim all intention ot dictating any particular course of action. We oursel ves personally are not particularly fastidious, and would not quarrel with people who may like the sort ot thing w hich we ourselves dislike, i hose gentlemen and ladies, for instance, who like to feast their eyes with posting-bills on the Sabbath, preparatory to going to church, are perfectly welcome to the pleasure-if they think such a preparation for prayer is right, well and good 1 hey have odd notions; but that is their affair. So with regard to another nuisance; some people, it seems find a fragrance in the filth which stinks in the nostrils of ourselves and other persons; otherwise their doorways Would not be ii-iade dllughills of. It is im- possible to account for the prevalence of emptying the contents of cinder-holes, and even worse holes. in mid- day, laying it down, if not at the very doors of houses in the thoroughfares, at least a yard or two only from their parlour-windows, on any other supposition for as we said a week or two ago, there is no necessity whatever for this disgusting, and we will say, disgraceful practice-a couple of men, a basket and a cart are all that are necessary for taking away, in a short time too, all those masses of filth which are now wheeled out into the public thorough- fares, to the great disgust of every decent man and woman in Carmarthen. M e repeat, however, if people like this snrt of thing, in Goth's name let them have it—they may luxuriate in nastiness if they like-we can't stand it, it is true but then we can gallop away from it, as we gene- rally do, blessing our stars, that however feculent the town may be, there is sweetness in the country air. Is this nui- sance to be abated, or is it to be tolerated for ever? Talk of the unhealthiness of living near a church-yard why what is that to the nameless nastiness that offends the nos- trils at every turr. in our otwn ? We repeat that we only point attention to the nuisanceswe shall continue to do so until they disappear—but we disclaim all desire to dictate what ought, or ought not to be done by the reign- ing powers." The steam and stench of a dung-hill may be grateful to the olfactories of some of the natives—gales wafted from citron groves would, perhaps, be less sweet to these people, than the feculent fumes arising from ex- crementitious matter, and the decomposition of animal sub- stances. Far be it from us to interfere with the pleasures of any set of people—they may, if they like, steep them- selves to the lips in nicetics— all we do or shall (to, is, simply, to say that we ourselves deem such dirty prac- tices, nuisances—nuisances, belonging less to civilized life than marking the semi-savage state of r-ocietv. THE SURVEYOR OF THE HIGHWAYS. A very useful j little bonk, of which th" author is a magistrate, has just I be« ii published by W. Evans, of Carmarthen, at the ex- traordinary low price of lid. It contains all the material provisions of the New Highway Act, with notes and appendix. and short instructions for forming and re- pairing roads. It is, we repeat, a very lIsefllllillh, book, and ought to be in the hands of every country gentleman and farmer.—Sec Add. j
PEMBROKESHIRE. I
PEMBROKESHIRE. THE ADMISSION OF FOREIGN CATTLE.—The name of Sir R. Philipps appears in the list of those who voted on Monday in the minority of 113, in favour of Mr. Miles's motion for a larger measure of protection to the breeders of cattle, than thatproposed by Sir R. Peel's new Tarifl. In the ministerial majority oi 380. are the names of Sir J. Owen and ili-i youthful nominee, V iscount Emlyn, both of whom voted for the admission of Foreign Cattle, at the low rate originally proposed by the Premier to be levied. THE NIOER EXPEDITION.—As we feared, Captain W. Allen had stileti from Asecitsioii for the Niger before any orders from home could arrive to stop the expedition. The accounts from the settlement were of a nature to require very prompt measures to rescue the colonists from the pressure of the surrounding population and their faithless barbarian cliiefs and Capt, Allen lost no time Iii proceediii, to tlie!r aid. He proposes to ascend the river, we believe, with the Wilberforce and Soudan, 110 farther than their location, and to bring them oil from their perilous position. A MARRIAGE AND A MEMBER!—-The Oil dd (first published in the Post) which assigns a wite to Viscount Kmlyn, though purely of an apocryphal character, is not incredible, on the ground of his lordship'syouth; for if his tender age" did not prevent his election by all the nu>.n of Pembrokeshire, we really see no reason to doubt that a siw/'e lady may also elect his lorcship. The Welshman, though politically opposed to the member for Pembroke- shire, of course, wishes the noble Viscount all possible felicity ;-we are persuaded that his lordship, marry when he may, will make an infinitely better husband than an M.P. The Rev. William Bowling, Clerk, has been appointed a Surrogate at Pembroke for proving wills, granting ad- ii, and marriage licenses. SHARP ASU SHABBY,—" Please Sir," said the son of a licensed victualler toi»Jiewspnprr proprietor, "my father begs you to lend him your p,,iper*Ie only wants to read it. "Tell your father (answered the proprietor,) first to send me his dinner—I only want to elt There's a publican at Tenby, who has improved on the licensed v ictualler's liberality; for lie is not satisfied with having the paper," but begs that his own" arrivah" and puffs may beh)riiite(i in.it—that is, that the names of all who come and go to and from his house may be inserted from week to week at the newspaper proprietor's own proper cost! This is a capital plan for catching flats and an un- commonly cheap one too;—but we, at least, will have nothing to do with the" arrilals; or decoy-ducks of Mr. Much-ale.
CARDIGANSHIRE. I
CARDIGANSHIRE. I THE CHURCH IN WALKS. [ Protit our own Correspo)tdent. ] The tithes ot South Wales were almost all swept off by Henry the Eighth, leaving but a miserable pittance for the supply of the Churches then '-mdt, and no provision whatever for an increase in the population. This sacri- i legious robbery has been of a more root-and-branch character in Cardiganshire than in any other part. For instance the V icar of Llanbadarn-fawr, at this day, receives only jC20 a-year from the tithes, and the lay-ini- propriator upwards of Two Thousand Pounds, and so of the other parishes adjoining and yet there are people, who, in their great wisdom ask, how is it that Dissent prevails so much in Cardiganshire ? Dissent indeed Why, if it were not for the Dissenters, a great part of that county would be without any religion at all; tor where are the Churches to hold the people, and where is the money to pay the clergymen? It is very well for people to revile the I)isseiiters -we can only say that in the present poverty of the Church in VVales, if you do away with Dissent, you do away with the public profession of Christianity, for a great if not for the greatest part of the population go to Chapel. And surely, no one will say, but that it is better to go even to a "con- will s venticle," as it is sncering-ly denominated, than to go no-where. We are glad to find that the Church, or rather a few charitable Churchmen, are making the most strenuous exertions for providing spiritual in- struction, and additional places ol public worship for the members of the established Church, in the northern parishes of Cardiganshire. We allude parti- cularly to the parishes of Llanbadarn-fawr and Llanfi- liangel Geneu'r-glyn, and when we see how much good is done by the Vicars of those parishes, with such limited means, we indignantly ask, how much more they would have done, had not that stupendous robbery been com- mitted upon their parishes. But the members of the Establishment are now displaying strong symptoms of vitality, iu the above district, and more has been done during the last five years than for the preceding century in providing places of public worship for the members cf the Church. We need only allude to the three chapels in cennection with the Church of England that have been consecrated or licensed by the Bishop of the Diocese, in and near Aberystwyth, within these last few years, and two chapels, in the parish of Llanfihangel Geneu'r-glyn, one at Rhyd-merioueth, and the other at Borth and all these have been built, and are supplied bv voluntary con- tributions. Surely, "Vofuntarism" cannot be quite so heterodox as it is represented, when in so short a period it has been the sole means of opening five churches, witliii) a fLw iit-les from each other! The last of these, at Borth, was opened for Divine Service on Sunday last by license, from his Lordship the Bishop of St. David. The Rev. William Jones, the eloquent and indefatigable Vicar of Llanfihanirel Gen«u'r-gly.n. in which parish it i,; situated, preached on the occasion, to a most crowded congregation, and we never heard him display his im- passioned eloquence with more power and effect. But while admiring that eloquence, which, it not unrivalled, is yet unsurpassed in his native land, we shall keep in mind, that he must be something more than a mere preacher, to have been able to establish, within little more than two years, two new Churches within his parish—■ niore, perhaps, than had been done before tor the last two centuries. The chapel at Borth, is a large commodious building, capable of holding, \ve should imagine, from five to six hundred hearers, though on Siindav being crowded, it held many more. Amongst the subscribers towarus tlie erection, we should be very culpable in omit- ting to name the Misse., Pritchards, of the Terrace, of Aberystwyth, whose munificent donation cf jClOO will, we hope, animate the exertions of the Cardiganshire Ladies in their holy endeavours for opening Aberayron Church. Amongst the other subscribers we sb'tt'ukl state, that "a friend of the Church" has given EI;5 Captain Gwynne, (Glanbery) £10; WnJ. Cob Gilbertson. Esq., Cefen-Ewyn, £ 20; Pryse Pryse, Esq., M. P., £ 20. We have not heard that the lay impropriator of the tithes of the parish has yet subscribed anything, but of course he Will, as he receives upwards of a thousand a-year from the parish for those tithes. We should state that by the assistance of that excellent Society for promoting addi- tional Curates in populous places," Mr. Jones is enabled to have a Curate, and thus to serve both the parish Church and the two chapels of ease at Borth allll lthyd- merioneth. Aberystwith is filling fast with summer visitors. Se- veral of the large houses on the Terrace arc taken for the season, and others are in treaty fur-the Theatre will almost to a certainty be opened, though Il essrs. Parry and Atwood, Solicitors, for the proprietor, have not yet decided out of many applicants whom they will select. The Rl?ydol Archers," under the patronage of the Countess of Lisburne, and Col. Powell, M. P., are in the field very strong for the earliness of the season. There was a strong muster on the ground on Tuesday last, when Mrs. A. Stephens, Miss Richards, Sc. &c., were distin- guished for the elegance as well as the skill with which they levelled their arrowss. "Last but tic)t least," the promenades will have during the whole season the same German Band of Music as last year. On this point; the town as _weB as fhe visitors are much indebted to J. Goldie Walker, Esq., Chairman, and to the other gentle- men that constituted the Band Committee. As the musicians are supported entirely by the town (our two worthy representatives giving £ .j each), they are not allowed to levy contributions upon the Company, and thus visitors are not annoyed as in most other places while listening to one of Mozart's divine productions to have the charm broken up by a call upon their pockets. CATTLE CLAUSES.—Col. Powell voted on Monday in the majority of 380 against Mr. Mifes's motion, and for diminished "protection" to the native cattle breeders. SCYI,I.A A-ID Cil;'LltYlil)IS. Sonle time ago, much merriment was occasioned in the fact, that one of our Magistrates—whose erudition is not remarkable, ordered (in writing) a juvenilo delinquent to be "privately uiptd." Afterwards with a keen sense of his blunder on his mind, he had to come to a similar decision, and he ordered the prisoner (again in writing), not to be wiped, but to be ftoged.

GLAMORGANSHIRE.I
GLAMORGANSHIRE. SWANSEA PETTY SESSIONS.—May 21th, lS2.-Bc forc J. D. Bei-i-iiigtoii, Esq., and hc Rev. W III. Hewson, D. D.—Luke Bill, of the llrpl illr-, near t)fe Altiizibtes, was charged with keeping a disorderly house: police con- stable, Jenkins, stated that on Sunday last he heard a great noise proceeding from the house, and on entermg the kitchen lie saw several men there in a state of up- roarious intoxication. Bill said the reason they were up- roarious was, that they were Frenchmen; as to their being drunk, he did not believe it was in the power 01 beer to make then, so. The Rev. Bowen then stated, that on Sunday evening, as he wasreturniii" to the Mum- bles from Swansea, he heard a great disturbance in the Bryn inn; he entered the house, and found six men there, two of whom were sober and the rest were drunk one of the sober men was fighting with a drunken French- man, and it was a long time before he could prevail upon them to separate: he called there again the same evening and found several persons in a state of ititoxicatiot, fined <Lo including costs. Charles Jones and William Edwards were then charged witli issauitliig Jaiiies Gaminage. It seemed from Ganimage's statement, that he and the de- fendants were members ot a loJcre of the Sheffield order of Odd Fellows, at the Black Horse, in this town. He had been lined, as lie considered unjustlv one night, and therefore attended on the committee night, (May Dth,) to make a complaint. During the evenin g Mr. Edwards made use of very provoking language to complainant, calling him blackguard;" and at last Gammage got up and charged him with liavirg been on the box, at a time when he was afflicted with a disease, which, if known would have prevented his receiving allY" sick-money." Edwards immediately jumped over the table, and knock- ed him down, and struck bim violently when down, Clias Jones also struck him repeatedly: complainant's brother attempted to take his part, but was almost as roughly used as himself, The motto of the order was, 41 Friend- ship, love, and Truth," (laughter.) Several witnesses were called on both sides, and a good deal of recrimina- tion took place: fined 10s. each, including costs. Seve- ral other minor cases of assault were heard.

J ARMS.—As Thomas Israel and several others were re- turning to .Merthvr, on Monday night, about 11 o'clock, after having been shooting at "a target during the dav, they thought of firing at the door of the market-house, when the contents of a pistol, which Israel had, lodged in l-is hand and shattered it to pieces, v.ith the exception of his thumb and little finger! Edward Davies, Esq., sur- j geoll, wis immediately sent for, and it is apprehended that the remaining part must be amputated. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—On Tuesday morning last, soon after the shocking accident on the Taff Vale Railway, WilJiam Edwards, one of the porters of that establish- ment observed two wumen near the canal, struggling together, and one trying to g-et away from the other. After she had succeeded in doing so, she jumped head- foremost into the canal. Edwards immediately ran to the Spot and jumped in a ter the woman, whom he res- cued. The silly creature was a servant to Mr. Haddock, nnd the only cause assigned for the rush attempt was. that she had been out all night at Llandafl lair.—Cardiff Adver- tiser. SuicrnE.—The inhabitants of Twyn-yr-odyo were thrown nito a state of great excitement on Saturday, in consequence of a report being circulated that Ann Mor- gan, a workman's wife, had cut her throat w th a razor. Anxious to ascertain the truth, we went to her residence, and found her lying, weltering in her blood, which had a so gushed in every direction about the house. From all probability, she must have died instantaneously, the cut being very deep, measuring four inches wide. An inquest was held on the body on Saturday evening, before iliiam Davies, Esrl., Coroner, and a respectable jury, when it appeared in evidence that she had sent out her daughter, aged LS, and, when she returned, found her mother lviii, lifeless in her blood. The jury brought in a verdict of .Temporary Insanity, with a deodand of (id. on the razor. DESERTERS. -TWO of this class of her Majesty's sub- jects have been taken up by the Merthvr police, within these nine days, and sent to Cardiff gaol, to await further orders, namely, David Collins, of the lltli regiment, and Patrick Walsh, of the 1.5th.

MEUTIIYU.—An improvement is expected to take place weekly in the iron trade. Many furnaces have been put in repair. Houses and shops, to a great number, are still unoccupied. The streets have been much re- paired within thcse few months. MERTHYR PFTTY SrSSIONs.-Tliese Sessions were held on Friday, the 20th instant, before G. It. Morgan, Esquire, and the Rev. C. Maybury. William Evans, Twyuywaun, was charged by James Richards of the same place, with violently assaulting him and biting part of his ear off, on the 13th instant; fined £ 3, and in default of payment was committed to Cardiff house of Correction for six weeks. The above defendant was also charged by Jeremiaii Phelps, with assaulting him in a similar manner, on the same day, for which he was fined E2 and costs, and in default of payment was committed for one mouth's im- prisonment, to commence at the expiration of the above- mentioned six weeks. Hannah Evans, Merthyr, was charged with assaulting Sarah VV iili,-lnlSj ot the same place, on the 11 th instant; the charge could not be sustained, and complainant was ordered to pay costs.—Thos.

---BRECONSIIIRE-ALARM THERE.…
BRECONSIIIRE-ALARM THERE. I f r1 tile, tlouse of Common last Tuesday night, Colonel Wood said he represented a countv nlncli was extensively interested in the cattle trade. He knew that the farmers entertained considerable alarm with respect to siime of the proposals in the tariff of the right lion, baronet, but that alarm was, he considered, in a great measlIre UII- founded, and he was glad to find ti),It it was fast subsiding. He learned Jiom commuiifcatTons [we should like to ,cC' them .J he had received from the county he had the honour to represent, that the public feeling had recently become much mote favourable than it had been to the tariff proposed by the right hon. baronet. He entreated the house not to suffer the progress orthis measure to be un- necessarily delayed, but to determine the question as speedpy as possible, in order that the anxiety which pre- vaUed throughout the country might be anayaf (hear). He believed a duty ot £ 1 a-head on cattle imported into this country would afford a fair protection to the agricul- tunsts; and lie thought the farmers had less to fear from the competition of cattle import from abroad than from the delay of this measure. There were persons in the countiy who, taking ad vantage of' tiw existing suspense, toluene farmers they could not now afford to pay so I igli a price tor cattle as formerly, because the tendefiCV of the proposed tariff was to red uce prices. It had also been stated, during the debates on this measure, that the city of York had been placarded with" advertisements, an- nouncing that when the tariff was adopted mutton from Germany would be sold in that town at 3s. per stone. He bdieved,however, that the effect of the proposed alterations would not be prejudicial to the agricultural interests. In discussing such measures as this they should not lose sight of the good old English maxim, "Live and let live." THF, WF. VTHF.R IS SOUTH WAI.ES. — A change tor the better has taken place, and the pan week may be aid to have been the most genial of the season. We have tiad a succession of gentle showers at intervals durillg the whole week, and already have the beneficial effects of the rain appeared in the improved appearance of the crops. The Brecon bounds met at Aberyskir. on Monday week, and after a brisk hunt of four hours' duration, suc- ceeded MkiHiug an otter vveighing 21 lbs. On Wednesday, Martin started for Buckland, and while in search of an otter started a fox by the river side, and killed him after a capital ruii.Salu;iatt. A HORSE-STEAI.ER NEAR Po- 'T Ypoor.On the night of Wednesday, the lltli inst., a bay mare was stolell from the fielti of Air. W. Herbert, near Pontypool. She was missed as early as five o'clock hi the morning of Thurs- day, and being fair-day at Crickhowel, Mr. II. started to the fair, thinking she might be there offered for sale, II is expectations were realised, for soon after his arrival he discovered his mare. The man apparently not knowing the owner, Mr. II. asked the price, and was told £ 16 and other questions being answered, he otïerd £10; this was retused. and he walked to a friend standing near, and wr'e- quested him to keep in an apparent deal with the man, whilst he obtained a policeman. This functionary of the law was soon procured, when Mr. H. claimed his mare, and gave the man into custody. He was immediately taken before the magistrates, and remanded until Friday, to give Mr. H. an opportunity of bringing his man, who had seen the more safe in the field between 9 and 10 o'clock on Wednesday night, and the fellow was duty hand- ed over to the safe custody of the police of Crickhowell. Oil Friday morning lfr. II. and his man accordingly pro- ceeded before the magistrates, and the prisoner was brought up, and after an examination, was ordered to be taken before the Pontypool bench of magistrates, where the felony had been committed. The prisoner however gave policeman Day the slip. The fellow however was afterwards recaptured; he was brought up the town with a strong guard, and they were about to proceed into the Cambria public-house with him, when some one, I either jocosely, or else all accomplice, exclaimed, "that is the wrong man"—when this bright sample of police said, V\ ell, sure, if it is the wrong man, we IlIun let him go;" and the prisoner protesting he was not the right man, was, by these bright functionaries of the law, per- mitted to take his ecolld departure in peace. Soon after, having discovered that they had been deceived, and given the real °, Simon Pure" his liberty, they began a second hunt but in this tbcv were completely at fault. ¡ MONMOUTH.—The bo.ly of th.-i.ne MR. R. -Shellai\I | was found on Tuesday in the liver Monnow, by John- Howells. The only mark by which the bo.ly could be identified was a cut iu the forehead, but the features wer.' ghasily and indistinct. Tlie handkerchief which Howells drew from the body was identified by the friends of the deceased, as also was the circumstance of an under small clothes, fOlllld oi, the body.and which Sheilard invariably wore. It is a very singular circumstance, that abeut four mouths since, Howells was at the same spot, and seeing the body, which he mistook for a stum p, lie pushed against it with his paddle, as did also another person at a subsequent period, under the same impression. The legs of the deceased were erect, and sunk in the sand nearly to the knees: the bodvvvas in an inclined position, with the head sunk on the chesi; and being covered with i dirt and sand, presented no appearance nf a h>l.-nau form. It had been III the water six months, within four days, j An inquest has been held on the body, and a verdict returned ot Fountl dead in the river.

iMILK-AND-WATER POLITICIANS.…
MILK-AND-WATER POLITICIANS. Sin,- I never wrote to a newspaper before, but am moved to say a word or two to voti I like the line of country yon went over last »veek—not only in respect of the ( ardiganshire Robbery, where you wpre well lip, but also, and more particularly, in those two "raspers" respecting "political latitudinarism,"—what made you though Use a word with such a banging brush? I A Y\ elshiuan oUght always to ride straight," and you do go right over -g t once without craning or beating about the bush. 'I bat' tlie only way. "An honest man's the noblest work ot Cod," said one of the Pope's*; and how can a man be honest it he has not the heart to go along Vl h straight to his purpose. Why, a race-horse has more honesty than such a shirking son of a witch. I hate your half-and-half people—your poor milk-and water poli j ticians are never good for any thing. A good Tory is bet- ( ter than a sneaking shamefaced Reformer. In the true 1 Tory there's sOI.lIe spunk-if he'? good for nothing else you inay turn hnn dowlI, and inthe(propertsfaso)t he will show sport but the snivelling wretch that has "no politics," is as bad as a polecat or any other such like vermin, that as niv old schoolmaster, the parson, used" to say %(,re enusirmrri: ,(¡,t,d.tlcs. t Upright and down- I right is my maxim, Sir—no craning, no cowardice, no shuffling, no sneaking-he one thing or the other. And mind—stick to your ft-i, ritt — whether a private or a political oil, never forsake him. True fiiendship no coo! medium knows. Be evcry thing to him—support )iii,l- I'o hit It support, but stand by him through good report, anil I through evil report. In short, be a man — not half-and- II half animal, not a milk-and-water politician. Aberystwith. VENATOR. The poet, Popp, our correspomlwit iriear.s. t ,.ti coiibumert' j, lI.;t'.

A POLITICAL PUBLIC.
The HWs/t/tnm is as f. from party bias --by which we ftieun an undistinguishillK adherence to a person, or a party, without reference to the good of the country—we are as free from such blind partizunship as any man or set of men can be; but claiming exemption from such servile influences, we cannot at the same time shut our heart and mind to the conviction, that unless men will consent to act under a leader of their own free choice, ranging themselves under one common standard, and then steadily advance with such a numerical force that can combinedly command respect, the rights and liberties of the people can never be efficiently asserted. Nor is this weakness of the popular cause arising from the want of proper union, the only or the least evil resulting from the political segregation we have censured. Belonging to no party," and having "no politics," we think will.be generally found to follow in the order of cause and effect. The world, we say not how well or wisely, but the world generally conclude that the man who acknowledges communion with no sect or religious party is a free-thinker, a man with- out any religion whatever. If he be of any religion why don't he a/tow it—if he have any faith why does he not declare it"—a tree is known by its fruits—but we have here barrenness—the bleak barrenness of a desert mind and empty heart." Some such language as this represents the world's opinion of the man who enters within the pale of no party, either of church or chapel. With the justice of the inference we have nothing to do-its existence proves all we desire to show ;-namely, that by common consent, suspicion attaches to the individual who does not join with other men. It is quite certain that by acting co-operatively with numbers of our fellow men in any work, a stimulus to activity and continuous effort is found that would be looked for in Vain amongst the stragglers from the camp, or in the solitary and selfish drene whose self-complacent indolence is soothed and salved, by being, as he asserts, superior to party." Our wish—we do not say our object for the narrow prejudices of some, the self-satisfied ignorance of other, and the prevalent predominance of I private interest over public duty, will hardly justify hope of realization in small constituencies—but our fervent wish is to create a Political Public in every city, borough, and town in the united kingdom, but particular] y, in that part of the country with which we ourselves are connected. To bring this wish nearer to our view we have exposed the hollowness of the pretensions of the sleek burgess, who boasts that lie belongs to no party," we have shown the deadening, the degradiii- and tliodestructive tendency of Political Indifference, Latitudinarism, and Lukewarmness. We have ventured to intimate,^that on every man above the condition of a serf devolves political as well as domestic duties, and that no man can neglect the performance of either, without incurring a heavy re- sponsibility. We wish to see men EARNEST—we do not expect to see them as active in the promotion of the public interest as of their own private interest—we indulge in no such Utopian hope—but we desire to see them fanning the sacred flame of liberty, sedulously supplying its source with the means of enlightenment and diffusing amongst all classes that Political informa- tion which is necessary for the; peacejinJ prosperity of the country. We have not inserted any of these epistolary remonstrances; because they are anonymous. If the writers, or any one else, chouse to take us to task, otir columns are open to them. All we require is, that they do not send us anonymous letters.
