The Welshman

CARDIGANSHIRE. Next Tuesday the Quarter Sessions for this county will be held at Aberystwith—ajiropos to which we have'a few words to say, that we liope A ill be taken as they are iiieitnt in periect good part bv all parties concerned- not ex- cepting even the ci-devant Conservative, arid now very sickly Carmarthen Journal; tor reaHy we would not allude to its feebleness or even to its existence, if the case did not compel us to do so. We will however behave handsomely -we will courteously call it Tory,"—the name it used to go by-nay, we will even extend our courtesy to the ex- tent of calling it our "Conservative" contemporary, (God forgi c us'!) hoping that conscience, which, as we are told, "doth make cowards of us all," will not frighten us to death, and afterwards put ns into purgatory, for acting only a little contrary to its dictates. We hate all men tal reservations generally—and conventional figments, albeit flashed off only as a mere compliment, are not much to our taste. We have however hit upon a compromise by which we may save conscience from violence, and our courteous dispositions too at the same time—it's a novel one, but not the less useful on that account. It is this: We shall call the Journal Conservative, contempora- neously proclaiming and publishing that it is not Conser- vative The Welshman," with all its anti-Torv politics, on the contrary, we affirm, is in the strictest, and the best meaning ot the term, Conservative. For the Welshman has fairly fought the battles of the Agricultural interest —espoused the cause of the Cattle-breeders-protested against all partial legisl:ttioii-stood up for the landed interests, resisted the encroahments of anomalous innova- tion, defended the Landlords, and uncea"inglyasserted the rights of property, as well as those of industry—the in short, has shown itself THE HEAL FRIEND OF FARMERS AND OF LANDLORDS. We repeat that we have watched over the peculiar interests of the Prin- cipality with an unceasing anxiety with an anxiety of which evidence is to be found in almost every number of our paper—indeed to every paper published since the pernicious agricultural policy pursued by Sir R. Peel we may appeal as containing conclusi ve proof of our assertion. .iat has the so-called" Conservative" paper been about all the while ? We will tell the Cardi- ganshire public. One day perhaps it has proved the great interest it takes in public affairs, by filling its columns with articles (!) about a Richard Evan Rhys Rees, a "respceted fellow-townsman," who having performed a funeral and made a good thing of it, gets the Conservative Journal's sub to puff him off, so that the next black job may be carried to his sllorl-iii another number the Cattle interest, the commercial interest, the agricultural interest, and every other public interest is flung aside for the more congenial interest of the Counter; and the Cocsercutice Car:nu>then Journal proclaims to the world that the cheap- est tape. or the best tripe perhaps, in the town is being sold by a respected townsman," opposite the slaughter- house Perditur Jtcec migero lua•— I But has not the Journal had any political nntter or leaders as newspaper commentaries are called? Ves; generally, but not always. There is however usually a column of Foreign in the shape of a leader, which it is understood, is kindly contributed by a certain wise man of the East, a gentleman and a scholar, and is pitched in by Mr. Editor as a sort of make-weight. This outlandish leader thus contributed is always about Affghanistan, or some other remote portion of the glol)e- i ust as if what occurred fifteen thousand miles off was of more import- ance to the Principality than that which is nearest and dearest to every British bosom—just indeed, as if the movements of a Shah Soojah or Akhhar Khan were of more consequence to us than the fate of Agriculture, of com- merce, and our own country. What then, we ask again, has the Carmarthen Journal done for Conservatism ? what for the country ? Nothing. We deliberately assert that it has done nothing—abso- lutely nothing. This is a fact; it is admissible of proof; and while stating it with distinctness we challenge contra- diction with confidence. IJo not, huwever, let us be misun- derstood. We (to not desire to depreciate a contemporary print; let it go on, improve, if it can; but at all events go on and prosper. There is no rivalry between us—no more competition than there was between the Whin- Morning Chronicle and the Conservative Lrcds Intelligence?, whose death was announced last week—a duty, which in the case of our" Conservative" contemporary, we sin- cerely hope, will not for centuries devolve on the public press. Nor is any thing further from our design than to go out of our way to institute an invidious comparison —all we want on the present occasion is to guard against the chance of misdescription anI to explain why in speak- ing of the Journal here, we courteously call it-what it is not really—a Conservative" paper. This point of honour settled, we proceed ad rem. We have Mr. Pryse Pryse's promise that at the Quarter Sessions next Tuesday he will renew his motion for hav- ing the County Treasurer's Accounts published in dw Wddllncw, as well as in the other Carmarthen paper al- luded to above. A motion to this effect brought forward at the last Spring Quarter Sessions, it may be remem- bered left us in a miriority of One. The motion thus ne- gatived by one vote onlv, was seconded by Saunders Davies, Esq., the Chairman—who having supported the motion then, stands in some sort pledged to support it now. The subject is wholly unconnected with politics. 1 But if it were not, we should be equally sure of Mr. Davies's vote; for that gentleman has never been sus- pected even, in a single case, of carrying political partial- ities to the Bench. As then the lion, and learned gentle- man's support proceeded from conviction and on purely Public grounds, we have no doubt whatever that he will next Tuesday consistentlyand courteously du us the same honour which he did us before. Major Lewis, another Conservative gentleman of high standing in the county, also, it we remember aright, supported Mr. Pryse's mo- tion and we require no other proof of the justice of our claim than to have Mr. Pryse Pryse, of Lod^e Park, to bring it forward, and Mr. Saunders Davies and Major Lewis to support it. As we have just said, this has no- thing to do with politics it is not a question between two newspapers; the simple question is whether or not the ,?t i on is whether or not tire payers of county-rate are to know how that rate is spent. At present no one knows unless lie happen to take in the Eo called COnSerVhtiVe' Paper. This would be perfectly just if the Conservatives alone paid the rate, but it is abso- lutely and totally unjust, when all are compelled to pay it. Nor does the wrong stop here. The readers of the Welsh- man are not merely kept in the dark upon that matter themselves, but are compulsorily taxed for enlightening the readers of th a Journal upon the su bject. Not only are they compelle d to pay the rate itself, but compelled also to pay for ad vertising how it is spent and that too for the e.eciusirc benefit of the ('Olise-evatives! The only objection made at the Sessions to publishing the accounts in the two papers was the expense. There would be some weight in this objection, if it were intended to be followed up by depriving the readers of the other paper of the mono- poly which the magistrates would seem to sanction but as this cannot be intended, we ask where is the justice of the monstrous preference given to the Journal when it is notorious that its circulation in Cardiganshire is inferior to that of the il e-shmnn 2 Every rate paver in the county, no matter what his politics may be, has a right to know how his money is applied. We ask that justice for the readers ot our paper: we ask no more and shall be satis- tied with no less. The inhabitants of Carmarthen and Pcmbrokeshirc possess every information relating to in- come and expenditure of county stock, and why should it be withheld trom those of Cardiganshire ? Consistently with fairness itt ui-gitig the request of our readers to know how their money is applied, we trust we have been sufficiently respectful to the Bench of Magis- trates and we conceive we cannot better close our pre- sent remarks than by copying what we said on this sub- Ijt, when it was bro ght forward before Oil iliiit occasion we said: —" VYe set out then with paying that we have no intention whatever to take to task those magistrates who voted against Mr. Pryse pryse's proposition, 'i'hc decision of the five gentlemen -a,il we affirm it with unfeigned sincerity—we are per- shaded was the result of a want of due consideration. "e do thein the justice to believe that if they had thought alcut th,e matter senouly, they cnuld toot have reconciled j it to their sense of equity to give such a vote—a vote ) which unquestionably has tlw eHeet (we don't say that it was its object) but it has the effect of excluding all the readers of the Welshman from access to their own TrL' surer's County account. Indeed, consistently, with our respect for he Bench, we cannot well believe that had the merits of the question been present to their perception they would have unhesitatingly have voted for instead of a. b tin a! out readers. We think the five gentlemen in question could never have intended by their vote, either to compel the rate-payers to take in the Carmarthen Journal, or to be in total darkness how the rates which they are compelled to pay are applied. We disbelieve that the division was upon due consideration. We have no hesitation therefore in saying that we shall at an early period make another application to the same honourable magistrates, when we have no doubt that upon second thoughts' they will do the rate-payers that justice which they are entitled to. To Mr. Pryse Pryse, Cardiganshire, we are sure, will be grateful. The Ilonoured name he bears has long been associated with a love of justice, and the advocacy of po- pular rights nor will the part taken by him at the Quar- ter Sessions detract from his own merits or his family's high deserts. For ourselves, less than on the behalf ot the Cardiganshire public in general, we tender him and those other magistrates, who voted with him, our grateful acknowledgments. To the other gentlemen who have voted contrariwise we have, we hope, been just as well as respectful in our language. And such is our reliance on the sense of right residing in the bosom of every gentle- man, be he Whig or Tory. that we take our leave of the subject, in the fullest confidence, that when the question shall again be brought before them, not a dissentient vote will be recorded against the claims of Cardiganshire. Till then, in all friendliness and good humour we cordially and most respectfully bid them, with the subject, farewell. Piitr AT BorTll.-Oil Monday evening last, a fire broke out in the outbuildings of a farm called Rhiw-las, near Borth, about five miles from Aberystwith. The fire was occasioned by a temale servant using a candle while i milking the cows a spark having fallen amongst the straw or fodder. far as it has yet been ascertained, it appears that twe .hies and a barn, together with one cons stack and o. hay rick have been consumed. The inhabitants of th- neighbourhood rendered every assist- ance in their power, but there being but little water ac- cessible, nor any pails or buckets to make it available, no effectual resistance was made to the devouring element. CROPS AGRICULTURE IN CARDIGASSUHII:.— The continuation of the fine weather, as it enables the poorer classes to gather in their abundant potato harvest, constitutes the crowning blessing of the season. By the end of this week full three-fourths of the crop will have been got in, and got in well. This will have a considera- ble effect upon the price oi corn, as the abundance of po- tatoes, considering how largely that esculent enters into the food of the peasantry, will materially diminish the draft upon the corn market, and therefore lower prices. We have on a former occasion stated that the corn har- vcst is the most prolific known in the country for many ye.irs-ttic quality excelling that of former years in as great a ratio as the quantity. A= an iliustrat?n—it may be confidently stated th.tt e!ght bushds of this year's corn wiH weigh as much as nine of several preceding y?r;. The effect of this abundance will be that instead, as in former years, of our importing several thousand pounds worth of corn for our own consumption, we shall now be able to spare as much for our neighbours in the adjoining counties. Wheat sowing is going on rapillly-two,thirds being already in the ground. While through the bounty of Providence corn is cheap and abundant, the Tariff steps in and reduces the price of cattle to an unexampled extent. There is no doubt that Government by its late measures his diminished the price of cattle by at least one third throughout Cardiganshire,—that is—a bullock that would fetch at this time last year E15, may be now had for £ 10. This has been the scale at all the late fairs —Aberystwith, Machynlleth, and Lledrod. THE MISSING SHIPS.—ABERYSTWITH.—We are in- formed by Messrs. Harris and Lewis, of Solva, that Capt. Harris ot the smack Olter, of Milford, states that the line, a topsail yard sloop, belonging to A berystwith, has foun- dered off St. David's head, near the Bishop's rock. And, as nothing has been heard of them in the city of St. Davids, it is but too probable that all hands perished. Last week, at Lledrod fair, a farmer sold nine head of cattle for lis. ahead less than he gave for them at the same fair a ttrelvemo/dh a;/o. And we are sorry to say, that it looks as if there would be a still further fall. TItUb IvoRITES.—We always feel pleasure in giving publicity to proceedings connected with Benefit societies. As an index of the spread of civilization among the humbler classes, nothing c m be more gratifying than the preva- lence of these institutions. The spirit of thrift, foresilit, and independence, which they embody deserve all en- couragement and when it is considered all the good that is implied in being a member of a well-conducted benefit society, we are surprised that heads of families and em- ployers do not press more strenuously upon their depen- dents, the advantage of becoming members. The Pen- llwyn lodges of True Ivorites, male and female, had their annual meeting on Friday last, at Penllwyn, near Aber- ystwith. They attended Divineserv.ee at Bangor church, when an excellent sermon was preached by brother the Rev. Win. Jones, vicar of Llanfiharigel-geneure-glyn. After which the Lodges went in procession some way up the country, and returned to Penllwyn in the evening. The day was exceedingly, fine which gave a zest to the whole proceedings. On their return the lodges par'ook ot tea, which was rendered doubly delicious by the fatigues of the preceeding wa'k. There seemed to be about 200 mem- bers present, ;tiid all seemed highly gratified with the doings of the day. THE WEATHER IN WALES for the last sixteen years has not been so favourable to husbandry. Our remarks on the crops and agriculture of Cardiganshire are no less applicable to the entire Principality.

I GLAMORGANSHIRE. At a special meeting of the Swansea Town Council, it was resolved that Mr. W. H. Smith be elected a Trustee of the Swansea 11 arbour Trust to fill up the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Watkin Morgan: that a Committee of seven members be appointed for the pur- pose of considering the question of the claim against the Corporation tor compensation made by the late Common Attorney, John Davies: that such committee be em- powered to obtain professional assistance if they require it, and to inspect all papers and documents relating to the proceedings upon the subject which has already taken place, and if they deem it advisable they are further em- powed to negociate with John Davies, or such person as he may appoint, for the purpose of suggesting such an equitable and amicable arrangement as may render un- necessary further logal proceedings in the matter: that Messrs. the Mayor, Vi vian, Philipps, Michael, Grove, I Bensoll, and Smith be appointed the members of such Committee that three members shall form a quorum and that such Committee report upon the subject to the monthly meeting, which will be held on the 14th day of October next that the extension of the quay wall for 10 or 12 feet adjoining Col. Cameron's quay, with a check wall, and a communication to the river, be immediately carried into effect under the direction of Mr. Hall: that a check for .t;j;j, amount of poor rate due from the Corpo- ration be given—Ordered that Mr. Lewis Thomas and Mr. T. Dawe be enrolled burgesses. At the last meeting of the Swansea Paving and Light. ing Commissioners, it was resolved, that Mrs. Cocks' ap- plication made at the h.;t meeting be acceded to provided that she take no more ground than that within the wall of the ash-pit. That the approach to Mr. Cocks' stables, as now akered be sanctioned. That a gas lamp be forth- with placed at or near the Bethesda chapel, and that the Rev. Mr. Davies be requested to suggest the most proper place to fix it. That Col. Cameron be permitted to make a carriage way across the foot-path leading to his ware- house on the Strand under the direction of our Surveyor. Mr. Glover will at the next meeting move that the road leading from Rutland place corner, to the turnpike gate, the road leading from Clarence Terrace to the turnpike gate, and the road leading from Nelson Terrace to the gate, be severally lighted with gas. SWANSEA POLICE REPORT, CcT.lth.—Beiote W. J- Jones, and C. H. Smith, Esquires.-William Herbert of Swansea, labourer, was committed to the Swansea House of Correction for trial at the next Quarter Sessions, charged with stealing a Cotton and Woollen shirt, valued at 3s., the property of one William Jones of Llanguicke.—Oct. 8th.—John Farrell, one of the" regular peep o day boys, made his appearance before W. J. Jones, Esq., upon charge of breaking into a dwelling house some time ago, and stealing a quantity of China, and other articles therein. For want of sufficient evidence to go on with the case be was remanded to the above prison for further ex- amination on the lotil inst. At a Petty Sessions held on the 10th instant, Walter Biby was convicted under the statute 9 Geo. 4, c. 31, s. 27, in the penalty of 9s., including costs, for assaulting one John Davies, of Swansea, labourer, and in default of pay- ment, he was adjudged to be committed to the Swansea House 01 Correction for 14 days. The fine was paid and he was discharged. The Royal Institution of South Wales last week re- ceived a fish of extreme raritv as a British species, viz., the Oblong Sun Fish, Ortk<uioriscus ottoll,lit, of Schneider, Tctrodou truueatus ot Pennant. It was washed ashore near the Infirmary.

NEATII, OCT. 7th.—George Cole, supposed to be one of the Staffordshire "turn-outs," was committed to the Swansea House of Correction by II. Gwyn and Griffith Llewellyn, Esquires, upon a charge of stealing a shirt valued at 7s. the property of Edward Phillip, of Cadoxton- juxta- Neath. Also, John Williams, aged 55, was com- mitted to same prison for "disturbing the inmates of the Neath Union Workhouse during prayers"—sentenced to 14 days' h:ird labour. THE REGISTRATION*. The Revising Court was held at Merthyr, on the 7th, 8th, and iotli inst. They took their seats in different rooms, Mr. Powell in one, and Mr. Hill in the other. The Conservative party was repre- sented by Mr. Coke, of Neath, as usual, and Mr. W. T. Thomas, ftorn the office of Messrs. Meyrick and Davies; and the Liberals by Mr. C. James, of the firm of Messrs. Perkins and James, and Mr. F. James. There were alto- gether about 300 objections. The Conservatives objected to 136 Liberals, and the overseers to 117. The Liberals objected to 5 Conservatives, and the overseers to .33. The following being the result:—The number expunged by the Conservatives, 158; new claims, 2:3. Numbers expunged by the Liberals, 37; new claims, 33. There were but few objections to the Borough voters, but the whole aie included in the above, if we are rightly informed, not being able to be but in one room at once It is worthy of attention that the Conservative party work, systematically and with great energy, and the other party with too much lukewarmoess, although the gentlemen who supported the claims of the latter in Court these days certainly did their duty in an efficient manner. Lawrence Cegan, a deserter from the 45th, surrendered himself last week to a corporal of the 73d now stationed at Dowlais. He appeared before the magistrates on Mon- day, and was sent to Cardiff gaol to await further orders from the Horse Guards. Plymouth Ironworks appear to suffer very much for want of water. Great many of the workmen art-- labouring, there being no water for them to go on with the work in their own departments. <> AWFULLY SUDPEN DEATH.—Ruhana Thomas was up as early as four o'clock on Wednesday morning last, and found the body of John Jones (Shony Cochyn) the night watchman of Cytarthta Iron Works, near his house at Merthyr, and his dog lying on his back, as if watching the old watchman. He was seen in the works at eleven on the previous night, and it is conjectured he fell, while intox- icated, by goiug dowu to his house. Mr.UTLTYR PETTY SESSIONS were held unFrId iJie ■ Mayberv. George to answer tlit, III plaint of Edward Williams, on behalf of the proprors of the Merthyr market-place, with hawking meat out the streets contrary to a clallse in the said marknet; fined Cd. and costs. David Williams was chargi by Hannah Davies, both of Dowlais, with an assault ■ her person, on the 30th ult. it appeared that the con-ain- ant was the aggressor, and actuatiy assaulted Warns first by pelting him with stones the case was dis'ssed and complainant ordered to pay costs. Thomas J kins, and Ann, his wife, were charged by Margaret :>rgan with assaulting her on the 27th ult.; it appeared -it the assault had been committed under some aggrav- on the part of complainant, and they were ordered to^y ex- penses between them. GritHth Davies was ch;;ed by 3,?i 'tis, with ail ass?iu p her Rachel Bowen, both of Dowlais, with an assauP11 her person, with an intent, &c., oil the 2nd ult; tlCdpilal charge could not be sustained, but defendant is fined £ 2 and costs for default of payment was ccmf-'ted tc Cardiff House of Correction for 21 days, I.;c John, Evan Thomas, and John Hendry, all of Doviis, were charged by police-constable, No. 15, William RVilliams, with a violent assault on his person, on the 3rtnstaut;at o la i s, l?, Dowlais, while in the execution of his dUll j Ie charGc against Isaac John could not be sustained, liuhe others were committed for trial, at the ensuing G IarrgansLic I Quarter Session-, but were afterwards admit* to bail. Several other cases were settled of no importa:e. Ion- day, before G. It. Morgan, Esq., John Willis Nam- j garw, was charged by police-constable, Willi11 Parsons, with being drunk, disorderly, and colleeti, a mob of people at Plymouth-street, on Sunday theHh instant; discharged on payment of 7s. expences. DIVIDEND.—J. H. Allen. Newton Nottg?, Glamor- shire, timber-merchant, Nov. 3. WRECK.—^The wreck of a vessel of aloit 200 tons burden has been seen in the Bristol Channel; masts, sails, and rigging were floating alongside. Shells oppo- site the lower end of the Nash Sands. SUSPECTED MURDER.—The neighbourhood e street and places adjaeent-the lower purlietsof the Whitmore Lane, Cardiff, have been excited i con- sequence of the death of Captain Carter, whose bdy was found in an erect position, between the lock gateluilcier the railway bridge, crossing the new cut at the of Bute-stieet. This lock is only of small dimenspfc, and is used for letting in and out canal barges to and t'r.m the old Glamorgan canal, at this junction, to the tyvi Bute ship canal. The singularity uf the position of body j (being nearly midway between the two gates, jrdthere- fore centrally erected in the lock), tt1gether¡] 11 the g?,,C Tis 0 eI finding of a pocket-book outside the dock, ga« rise to reports that the deceased had been murderck rdjbed, and thrown in. A Coroner's jury returned tin folluving verdict NN e find, from the evidence adduced, tha. the unfortunate Hcccased wr.s d/c.vr.cd in the junction betveen c d in t'tc j unct i ou between tho new and old canal—but how or by what oif:;i.s he came there we have no reason to adjudge, othenvU- than by accident. We fully concur, however, in the myterioC/s and suspicious appearances touching the abseneiof the money known to have been in his pugsesion pru' to his death, and consider there is every probability uf his having been robbed."

L'N PA ID FOR RUFFERY.— OUTK.GE T'PON TIE FEEL- INGS OF KESRKCTAII.'E PEOPLE. The consequence of the vicious.vstem. too p evalent in the Principality-newspapers, o inserting everything that every body sends, is seen every day Ù. one form or the other. A Cardiff pape-, foiexamph, last week had the following apologetic p:uagril!h "THE PWLL-y-BL"TTS :\rf.\H.e:reinexpressibly sorry that our paper has ben made the vehule of wounding the feelings of more thn one highly-respectable individual in Cowbridge and ts neighbourhood, by a paragraph, headed Pwll-y-Buts," in the paper of tin; first instant. The article in juestion (the original ot which is in the possession of a highly respected party) was sent to us in the name 0 a lady residing at Cow- bricge, whose inclination, as wll as interest, would have made her the last pel son to liVe disseminated an ill- natured orsatiric:dins)nuat)n. It was written, appa- rently, in a female hand, whout an etrort at dUguise, and was perfectly grammat el i:) its composition. Of course, we had not the slightst doubt of its being ge- nuine: such a suspicion neve crossed our minds, or the article in question (which is aid to be full of venemous > allusions) would have never ppeared in our pages. We believeil that some new minral spring bad lately been discovered in that vicillity, Niiieli like Llanwityd, or Llandrindod, in its commetement, hid attracted the concourse of visitors namedh, the paragraph. W e are using, and will continue tt tase, every means in our power to find out the execrtde author of the article, so that, at least, he or she maybe consigned to that abhor- rence and contempt in whichjverv honourable mind will hold so cowardly and so basean lilctiviclual." A Brecon paper was betraed into lending its columns for the commission of the sa.ie outrage. When will the Welsh press assert its resppc4hilitv-dleIl wIl it PI" tect its own interest as well as thee of h • publ c ? This very paragraph was sent to us fe insertion —of course we re- jected it, as we do all unpaii puffery. The consequence is that we are troubled with bit little of it; for of ail people, perhaps, in the world, the lewer class ot Welsh have the greatest repugnance to payng tor the gratification of either their malice or their viility.

The Welsh mail has now been established for nearly ELEVEN YEARS, and enjoys a considerable share of Public patronage. It has fought.under the banner of "RATIONAL AND PROGRESSIVE REFORM." with undeviating rectitude, and undaunted courage. hold- ing on its course" through evil and good report," not- withstanding a series of prosecutions, in its earlier career, instituted for alleged infringements of the absurd, unjust, and now universally condemned law of libel. Rendered prudent by experience, the Wchhman has be- come wiser, and perhaps also more wary as well as more considerate; but though carefully avoiding even the colour of CALUMNIOUS PERSONALITIES, it is no less fearless and uncompromising in its Political Prin- cipJes now, than it was then; for we continue in its columns the advocacy of Liberal Whig Principles in the true sense of the term—in matters Ecclesiastical re- cognizing but one authority, in matters Political but one rule. The friends of Civil and Religious Liberty we bow the knee to no law-giver in the Church but Clirist-we. pay deference to no Siate policy which bases itself upon an infr-iction of universal justice. Do unto others as ve would that others should do unto you," is the polar star about which we wish to revolve. The Welsh nam claims, moreover, SIPERIOHITY in all the various brandies of a Newspaper — the most inter- esting and useful as well as the LATEST intelligence in the political, trading, agricultural and ecclesiastical world are condensed in its columns; "A Weekly Retrospect" of the news of the Metropolis up to Wednesday evenings is supplied by a gentleman, residing in London, who is pos- sessed of peculiar facilities in obtaining itifoi-iiiation re- ports of all public proceedings in the counties of Carmar- then, Pembroke, Cardigan, and Glamorgan, are pre- sented faithfully to the public; and indeed no effort is spared to make the Welshman AN ACCURATE AND COM- PLETE I'ECORD Ot. ALL LOCAL AS WELL AS L'OLIIICAL INTELLIGENCE OF PL'BLIC INTEREST. AS AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM, the Welshman presents a peculiar claim, not only on account of its extensive circulation, but from the circumstance of it- being THE only LIBERAL PAPER PUBLISHED IN THE COUNTIES OF CARMARTHEN, PEM- BROKE, AND CARDIGAN.

jjssembly seemed to be of the same opinion, and the an- houncement was received with groans, &c. r The meeting was well attended as the place was crowded the parties most interested were in attendant e, •finely, the working class, those who feel most the cruelty the corn-laws: there were also a few gentleman and fadesmen. If the hall could have been obtained, there 1& no doubt that it would have been well filled. The "fleeting gave three cheers for free trade. Tile lecturer at the close of the meeting gave away a lumber of tracts and papers, and the assembly broke up 1,1 good order. They were in fact very attentive, and greeted the lecturer with much applause. The lecturer IlHends proceeding into Pembrokeshire to promote the spread of Anti-Corn-law principles in that county. We Understand that Mr. Griffith will deli ver another lecture On his return, of which due notice will be given. TIIE GAS is put on in Picton Terrace so soon as bought to be by a /nil Lour. That it should not be put on at all when the moon lends her light we don't complain ot; but we do complain, that not only is not the gas put On in Picton Terrace a whole hour behind time; but that lot a single lamp is lit there for half an hour after the lamps, only a little lower down, at the corner ofMorva- ane for instance have been lit. Do the inhabitants of Picton Terrace pay less for lighting than other in- habitants ? If they do, the stint of light they sutler from hi intelligible enough but if not, as householders and rate-payers we must protest against it. We trust some gentlemen will see to the matter. We regret to learn that Mr. Jones, one of the Conser- yative members for this county, continues seriously IndisposE-d. The illness of the lion, and learned gentle- man has been protracted, but we are happy to iearn that his con"alescence is calculated upon with contidence by Ilis friends.

There will be a dinner at the close of the show. For further particulars we refer to our advertising columns. LLANFIHANGEL-ABERCOWIN FURS. The candid support of the liberal public to keep and attend the above old fair last Monday arid Tuesday, has induced the pub- licans, tradesmen, and inhabitants of its neighbourhood, (who deem themselves duty bound) to return their sincere thanks to its supporters for their liberal conduct on the occasion, in shewing such an united opinion on the subject, and they fed confident of the steady determination of a generous public, and the country at large, to support the same old fairs, at all future periods, which have been kept time jjii.namorial in the same place. Other fairs being kept ou the same days as Michaelmas and May fair.- were kept, has induced individuals, agriculturists, and trades- ineii interested therein, to acquaint the generous public at large, that the old May fair will be kept on the 14th and 15th May, and Michaelmas, on the 12th and 13th October, in all future years (at the same old place, Toll Free) for the sale of cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, and the hiring of servants &c., to enable a more numerous attendance of cattle dealers, and who have promised their liberal support, and regular attendance on their return from Pembrokeshire and other fairs. ST. CLEARS FAIR.—This fair on Monday and Tuesday, was well attended, and a more numerous show of beasts was exhibited than has been seen for some years back. They fetched rather higher prices per head than they have done at the late fairs in this neighbourhood. There were but few horses for sale. G .uIr.The season having been remarkably fine game of all sorts are more than usually plentiful in this and the neighbouring counties. Ifares are very numerous. Woodcocks, Snipes, wild Ducks, &c.are making their ap- pearance in considerable numbers, and from the earliness of their appearance, it is thought that they will also be very plentiful.

Chee3e, lib. for 4.1.; Beef, average, 5ù.; Butter, 15d. and 16d. per 24oz.; Mutton, 5d.; Pork, Cd. Ducks from 2s. to 3s.

INQUESTS.—On Friday last, an inquest was held at Cilrhedyn, in thr, parish of Lhtnddarog, before W. Bon- ville, Eq., on the body of Anne Evans, aged f) years, accidentally burnt to death on the day previous, by her wearing apparel having caug-ht fire when in the act of drawing a bakestone at the back of the fii-c place, on the fire. There being no person near at the time to render lier any assistance, except a little girl in the adjoining house, who immediately ran to call the parents of the deceased, who were in a potatoe field. Upoti the alarm being given, a neighbouring woman ran towards the house and met the .deceased lying on the road side, and her clothes literally burnt off her body. She died the same day. Verdict, Accidentally burnt to T)eatli.-Oil Tues- day last, an inquest was held by the same gentleman, in the parish of Llanelly, on the body of Elizabeth Jones, aged four years, who carae to her death from the effects of o 1 burning, by playing with a lighted match, in the absence of her mother, who had left the house for a few minute, and on her return, found her liuJe girl's wearing apparel in one mass of fire, A medical gentleman attended her, but to no avail, she expired in a few days afterwards. Verdict, Died from the effects of burning." In the minutes of the evidence taken last session before the Committee on Post Office Communication we find that on the 13th of May (:3086, page 163) the following question with its answer put and ;> iven-" Is there any other instance iri the kingdom of a mail being detained five hours upon a main line of mail communication, such as that between the metropolis and South Wales and the South of Ireland ?" I cannot call any instance to my recollection at the present moment. The reason of that de- tention is the Liverpool and Manchester correspondence, which would otherwise be detained 24 hours. I am confi- dent that if the towns in Wales were to petition the Post- master-general to sacrifice their Liverpool and Manchester correspondence by delaying it, in order to obtain an accele- ration of their London correspondence, he would most will- ingly concede the point; butas my own opinion is that the Liverpool and Manchester correspondence is almost of equal importance to that which is conveyed from London, the question for the towns in South Wales is, whether they choose to have their London mail delayed three or four hours, that it may carry on the correspondence from Liverpool, Manchester, and the manufacturing districts in the north, or to have that correspondence delayed 20 or 21 hours, for the mere acceleration of the London cor- respondence by two or three hours.
