THIS valuable Paste remains for a short time in a J)L soft state, so that it cannot give the least pain, and may be used by hny person with the greatest ease. It has the remarkable property of becoming hard and sound as the Tooth itself, excluding the air and food from the nerve, preventing further decay, and succeeding when other kinds of stopping have completely failed. N. B. The Succedaneum should be applied as soon as decay makes its appearance, it being a great error to delay until the Tooth becomes painful. Timely attention may preserve decayed Teeth for years. It has been used with great success by several persons in the vicinity of Carmarthen, and elsewhere. JRKFAREO BY R. M. DAVIES, CHEMIST, &c.

PRIZE ESSAY. I
PRIZE ESSAY. I THE WELSHMAN'S" PRIZE ESSAY. I [Such of our contemporaries in the principality as wish justice to be done to the characrer of their countrymen—and which amongst them does not 1- will not merely much oblige us personally, but they will further that not uniterest- ing public object the accomplishment of which we have in riew, by copying the following paragraphs.] The following announcement was made in our columns last week. It is now republished for the double purpose of making it generally known, and of affording us an op- portunity of informing the public that we shall be glad to receive suggestions on the subject from all persons who may favor us to this extent. We have a word or two more to say, by way of rider, to what we have already written to-day on Welsh cha- racter. It is this—We give to all those writers, whose well pointed pens have been employed in delineating the moral, social, and physical features of the natives of the principality, full credit for talent, as well as for an earnest desire to perform their task well and truly. Nor do we think, that on the whole, more mistakes have been made than generally happens in most books of travels. We must nevertheless dissent from a good deal of what makes most against the inhabitants on this side of the Severn. Our London friends' history may be truth, but necessarily not being the WHOLB truth, we our- selves do not, and will not adopt it verbatim et literatim. Do we then insinuate an intentional suppression of the truth? Certainly not; bynomeans. But how could those visitors—they were nothing more than visitors-make reports of what they themselves did not know, could not know,—and never heard of ? What we affirm is this-that THE WHOLE TRUTH HAS YET TO BE PUBLISHED. It must be borne in mind by those persons who pass harsh judgments on the people of this little corner of the world, that the portraiture has been drawn by writers whom we must call strangers, as well as birds of passage, if not also prejudiced strangers. As to the ugly features they have assigned to some of our habits of thought and action, of course we all know that nothing in the world is easier than to say ill-natured things of any thing or anybody and gentlemen of the press, like learned gen- tlemen at the Bar, we know, never want a stick when they choose to attack, or want to beat, anybody. To write up the Welsh character therefore, would perhaps be quite as easy to these ingenious gentlemen as to write it down, Be this as it may, we think- It is a meaner part of sense, To find a fault than taste an excellence. We know besides that our character has been given by visitors only-not by natives of the principality, or even by residents. And we moreover know, as intimated before, that the WHOLE truth has not been, and could not possibly have been, stated. Wales wants—the WelsJwnan wants, the whole truth to go forth to the world. It is, therefore, proposed by us, that the whole truth" shall go forth to the world; and, in order to set the character and habits of the people of the principality in their true and proper light before all men, we sug- gest that an Essay on the subject shall be written by WELSHMEN, or by persons who have resided in the principality not less than Twenty years. The Welshman, then, will throw open, to be competed for by all Wales, A PmzE, inconsiderable in amount but one that we are certain is sure to elicit such compre- hensive essays as we contemplate. We are not pre- pared at this moment to deal with the thing in detail for the present it will be enough to say that Tha Welshman will give Twenty-five Pounds for the best Essay Illustrative of Cambrian Character, of the Habits and Condition of the inhabitants of the principality of Wales—the adjudicators to be WELSHMEN—men bred and born in Iteit Gymru.

THE CORN LAWS ARE GOING TO BE RE- I PEALED.—The inevitable event depends on no one Cabinet and we have no reason to assume that Sir ROBERT PEEY will stay in office till it happens. He may choose to do so-he may choose to be the repealing Alinister; but if he do not, some one else will. When a thing must be done, some one is always found to do it. A bill or a resolution might be passed now, to abro- gate the law at some future but fixed day, We lately heard a landowner and practical agriculturist, deriving all his income from that source, and of the Consen-a- tive party in politics, declare that he would gladly com- pound for the dangerous agitation and injurious uncer- tainty on the subject, by consenting to total repeal, if three years' grace were allowed. Would that be too much law" to concede to the fears and perhaps to the prej udices of the landowners? THE DESTITUTE POOR.-Several meetings have been held at London-house, for the purpose of maturing some comprehensive plan for relieving the destitute poor of the metropolis, and at the same time improving their moral and social condition. Those meetings have been attended by several noblemen and gentlemen, and in- cumbents of metropolitan parishes and, after much deliberation, it has been resolved to form an Associ- ation for the relief of destitution, and the improvement of the condition of the poor in the metropolis, by means of parochial and district visiting." The Lord Bishop of London will be president of the association, and it is settled that the whole of the funds shall be directly applied to the relief of the indigent after all proper inquiry has been made by gratuitous visitors. The rules and regulations will shortly be announced to the public .—Times. THE CORN LAws.-The Rev. W. J. Shrewsbury, Wesleyan minister, recently returned from South Africa, has published a volume entitled Christian Thoughts on Free Trade." The propositions which he has under- taken to demonstrate are thus briefly stated :— 1. Free trade is implied in. the primeval benediction God pronounced on Man. 2. Free Trade is sanctioned in sundry other Scriptures of the Old Testament. 3. Free Trade is favoured by God's providential ar- rangements in the government of the world. 4. Free Trade accords with the genius of Christianity. 5. Free Trade is promoted by Christian Missions. 6. Free Trade will be exemplified when Christianity gains her final triumphs in the conversion of the world. -At a recent Conservative meeting in London, Mr. Baring asked, Why is not this money [the League Fund] given to the poor ?" This artifice is a miserable plagiarism: here is the original :— Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, which should betray him, why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor ? Thus he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag." (John xii, 4, 6.) But, in fact, the money of the League is given to the poor." It is given to make them independent of pauper- pay-which some politicians don't want. THE POST-OFFicr.Tlie moment a complaint of any irregularity is lodged at the Post-office, a notice of the receipt of the same is transmitted to the complainant, and every exertion is made by the authorities to check and rectify the evil complained of, and in most instances with perfect success. A NEW'S AGENT. POST-OFFICE PLU-, Dr, R.IVe have frequent com- plaints that newspapers are not received, and, as it is supposed that the Post-office is above reproach, the whole blame is laid at the door of the news-agents, and this office is appealed to for redress. The evidence gi- ven before the last postage committee may do some- thing to enlighten the public. Lord Lowther, the Post- master-General, gave evidence of the extensive plunder carried on in the Post-office. Col. Mabcrly, the secre- tary, was of the same opinion as Lord Lowtlier and his evidence creates a very unfavourable estimate of the arrangements for the prevention of dishonesty in the Post Office. lie says Lord Lowther has stated to me that the greater part of his patronage since lie first came to the Post-office arose from dismissals. Almost all the business connected with losses comes before me it is rather a police business, which is managed by one of the clerks in the department of my office called the Missing Letter Branch," the solicitor, and myself, inasmuch as it is necessary to keep all these communi- cations thoroughly confidential and away from other panics; and I can state that the plunder is terrific." After this, our correspondent need scarcely take trouble to inquire what becomes of their news-papers if they do not receive them. These last words are a sufficient answer to their queries-co the plunder is terrific." Surely some measures might be taken to guard against so great an abuse.— Britannia. FLUENCY OF THE FAIR SEX.—Mr. Yearsley, speak- ing of the causes, varieties, &c., of stammering, ob- serves, It is of rare occurrence in the female sex, the proportion of female cases being not more than 7 per cent. Married men, we opine, have long been aware of this" great fact." Last '-N l oii d ,,iv the iic%v 117' Last Monday the new Welsh Metropolitan Church, in Ely-place, Ilolborn, was opened when Divine service, both in the morning and evening, was performed to numerous congregations by the Rev. Williams, late cf Lampeter, the incumbent, after the formularies and ritual of the Church of England.
TITHES IX WALES. - LEGALIZED…
TITHES IX WALES. LEGALIZED ROBBERY. I The following argumentative letter is from the pen of Mr. Thomas Campbell Foster, and is addressed to the other Carmarthen paper, in which some pro-tithe epistles were put forth as soon as Mr. Foster had quitted his post here, and returned to London. The object of the subjoined letter, it will be seen, is an exposure of some of the fond fallacies which it is but natural should be hugged with affection by those who derive a perma- nent profit from them, estimated by Mr. Foster, the Times' reporter, at 20 per cent. generally, and as high relatively in some instances, in this very year for in- stance, as 33 per cent. But, we refrain from comment, and commending the letter to public attention, copy it for general information. Here it is- SIR, A friend having forwarded to me your journal of Friday last (Dcc. 15) which contains one or two letters relating to the tithes in Wales, and which allude to me as having written llpoa the subject, always too under an assumed tone that what I wrote was erroneous, I beg, very briefly to re-state, what I have written and which I shall be most glad to read any answer to. Hitherto the attempted answers have avoided the question, and catching hold of a branch of my argument on which no conclusion was hung, after laboriously attempting to show that this branch was erroneous, the assumed answerers have crowed thus- this statement being wrong, the whole must be assnmed to be wrong likewise, and therefore what the Times Reporter wrote about tithes is all stuff." This may be an easy way of getting over difficulties, but it is not quite logical. This was the argument of Mr. Hoskens, the tithe Commissioner. A branch of my letter about the tithes, stated, that the tithes were commuted accord- ing to the average price of corn of the whole kingdom, and that the average price of corn in the principality being lower than the average price of the whole kingdom this operated as a hardship upon the tithe payers. This statement Mr. Hoskens has attacked as erroneous; and assuming that my conclusions were founded upon it, said" ergo they are erroneous too." Now any one who will take the trouble to refer to the 6th and 7th William the IV, c. 71, entitled "an act for the Commutation of Tithes in England and Wales," and to the 56th and 57th section of that act, a copy of which I subjoin for those who wish to read them will see that my position was right and that whatever contrary practice has been adopted in Wales, has not been according to law. The Act speaks of the Comp- troller of Corn returns" there is but one such officer for the united kingdom; it then speaks of "the average price of an imperial bushel of British wheat, barley, and oats, computed from the weekly averages of-the corn returns" as the groundwork of the rent charge, not of Welsh "wheat, barley, and oats" and not computed from the weekly averages of the corn return" in Wales. It is, however, apparent that this hardship, whether inflicted in practice or not, could only be a hardship where it operated; and according to the 37th section of the Act it could not operate in cases where the tithes had been compounded for" for any payment instead of tithes"; in all which cases the amount of such composition" agreed to be paid instead of tithes" shall be taken as the clear value of the tithes included in such composition." Now, in my letter regarding the tithes in the Times, I stated that the practice of compounding for" tithes "was almost universal in the Principality" and upon the operation of the Tithe Commutation Act upon this universal practice did I found my argument and conclusions. It did not, however, suit those who cavil at my statements to grapple with this but they make a great fuss about confuting one of my statements upon which nothing is founded as an argument, and in con- futing which, they only shew thetnselves to have acted contrary to law. From bad roads, and inaccessible lanes to different farms, the tithe in kind formerly thrown out by the farmer, though of the nominal value of, say L;3, when got and housed by the titlie-ower, was never worth any such sum, and the practice therefore of compounding for" tithes became very common—almost uni versal. It was good for the farmer as lie paid less it was good for the tithe-owner, as lie got his tithes with less trouble, and he might as well allow the farmer £2 out of the £ •} as pay that sum for leading and getting the tithe in kind to his own barns, and other contingent losses and expenses. This then wr.s the almost universal" state of the tithe payment in Wales when the Commu- tation Act came into operation. But the 38th section of the Commutation Act provides that when the average value so ascertained" [that is, the amount of composition heretofore paid instead of tithes] will not fairly represent the sum which ought to be taken for calculating a permanent commutation of the great or small tithes of a parish, the Commissioners shall have power to diminish, or increase the sum to be so taken by a sum amounting to not more than one fifth part of the average value ascertained as aforesaid." Therefore when £ 3 was compounded to be paid by a farmer instead of throwing out about £5 worth of produce in kind, the tithe-owner naturally stepped in and said this is not a fair sum to be taken for the permanent commutation" and then the Commissioners exercised their power of increasing one fifth part, the amount of tithes formerly paid as such composition or in effect they increased the amount of the tithes paid 20 per cent. This has been the case in the Principality, and this, the first position in my argument advanced in my letter to The Times, has never been attempted to be upset. In fact it cannot be. WE HAVE THEN GOT AS A START, AN ipso facto, permanent INCREASE OF 20 PER CENT., GENERALLY PAYMENTS OF TITHE. I now come to the second branch of my argument in my letter to the Times, viz., that the operation of the 7 years average is such as to increase by 30 per cent. the tithes payable this year, over and above what the farmer would have had to pay, had lie paid his tithes merely on the produce of the year, and on the prices which that produce fetched. The tithes by the Commutation Act, are commuted to a rent charge or a fixed and equal number of bushels of wheat, barley, and oats, are to be paid for, at a price regulated according to the last 7 years average of the prices of corn. Now suppose the number of bushels of corn fixed on a farm as its apportionment of tithes to be 100, the Commutation Act says, the farmer shall pay for that 100 bushels at the price of corn on the average of the last 7 years, which is (I quote from memory) about 6s the quarter, or about 7s. 6d. a bushel. But the price at which this year the farmer sold his corn (when my letter in the Times was written) in or der to meet that payment, is not 7s. 6d. a bushel but only 5s. to 5s. 6d. e. i., the average selling price of corn then being (I again quote from memorj ) about 41s. per quarter. Now the difference between 41s. and GIs. is one third, or 33 per cent. The farmer was therefore compelled to pay his tithes at a price 33 per cent, higher than he could sell his corn at, and of course he paid 33 per cent. more tithe under the system of the tithe Commutation Act this year, than he would have paid under the old law. This was my second argument which has never been attempted to be confuted. And now for the conclusion which I hung upon these arguments. The tithes being permanently increased as I have shewn in the first instance 20 per cent. and by the falling of prices relatively increased 33 per cent this year, it follows that this year the farmer paid 53 per cent. more tithe than he would have paid under the old system. Now will the gentleman with /hp odd signature, or any other cai-illoi- confute this ? It is true that the increase of 33 per cent this year will work round equally in 7 years. But that is no consolation to a starving farmer who cannot pay his tithes this year. The writer in your Carmarthen journal admits that where a farmer was before rack-rented this increase is a hardship upon him; "but then" says he "he has the option of throwing up his farm if the rent is not pro- portionately reduced." Yes, he has; and he has the option of walking into the workhouse if he won't pay that rent. With the system of letting by tender, and the known eagerness of the farmers to out-bid each other for farms in the principality, in many cases to sane themselves for another year from beggary, to talk about a "farmer's option to give up his farm" is an insult to his understanding. The fact is the landowners are often titheowners also, and they hare quietly seen the Tithe Act increase their tithes 20 per cent,, without making any corresponding reduction in their rents.

55. That immediately after the passing of this act and also in the month of January in every year, the comptroller of corn returns for the time b('in. or such other person as may from time to time be in that I)elialf;iuthorl,,(?(? the privy ('oundl, shall cause an advertisement to be inserted in the London Gazette stating what has been, during seven years ending on th Thursday next before Chrbtmas day then next preceding, the average price of an imperial bushel of BRITISH wheat, barley, and oats, computed from the weekly average of the corn returns. 57. That every rent charge chargeclllpon any lands by any such intended apportionment shall be deemed at the time of the continuation of such apportionment as hereinafter pro- rided to be of the value of such number of imperial bushels and decimal parts of an imperial bushel of wheat, barley, and oats, as the same would have purchased at the prices so ASCERTAINED by the advertisement to lie published imme- diately after the passing of this act in case one third part of such rent charge had been invested in the purchase of wheat, one third part thereof in the purchase of barley, and the rcmaiuning third part thereof in the purchase of oats and the I respective quantities of wheat, barley, and oats so ascertained shall be stated in the draft (-if every apportionment. I would in conclusion say one word on a subject always thrust forward when this question comes under discussion '-that the farmers ought not to complain at the increase of the tithes because they pay below their value now, and paid too li tie before.—Paid too little! In the generality of cases in Wales I cannot conceive any sum that they could pay too little." Appropriated to their proper objects, I think every farthing of the tithe ought to be paid, and I am convinced that the sensible farmer and good citizen would willingly pay it if he received for it, the instruction of the church, had his children educated, and the poor supported—but he pays tithe, for what ?-for nothing in many cases. It is often a legalized robbery, and therefore is it so ob- noxious, as the writer in your Carmarthen journal truly enough says it is. And I have grave doubts of the equitable right of any Jay impropriator to come forward and claim an increase in his tithes, and set up the argu- ment that the church has a right to a tithe of the pro- duce, and he is possessed of the property of the Church, therefore he has the churches' right. The property by passing from the Church into his hands has become in fact lay property, and as such is equitably divested of the privileges which attach to it as church property and it is a property payable only by the tithe payer originally and equitably for certain considerations, viz., for the support of the church and of the poor, and for education bereft of these considerations, as it is when in the hands of a lay impropriator who gives nothing in return for the payment, I do not think it is equitably demandable. At any rate, it so far savours of injus- tice that, as generally payable in Wales to absentee lay impropriators, it is an odious exaction. This is the case with the Abernant tithes, about which- so much has been said. They were trifling in amount before the Act by its operation they were raised greatly, to an approximation to their value. With the exception of the trivial increase paid to the church, I think every shilling of the increase paid to lay impro- priators for which a corresponding reduction in the rents has not been made an equitable abuse—a legalized robbery, the lay impropriator putting his hand into the farmers' pockets, and taking out so much money with- out rendering him any return for it. If I am wrong in what I have written, it will give me great pleasure to be set right but it must be by differ- ent arguments to those hidden in the mist of words of the correspondent of your Carmarthen journal with the odd signature. These are my objurgations," and I should be glad to see them grappled with. I remain, Sir, your obedient Servant, The Correspondent of The Times, lately at Carmarthen. Temple, Dec. 22, 1843. P. S. I observed in the same paper upwards of a column of my writing taken from The Times and un- acknoiolcdgcd. I presume the Editor approved of it or he would not have inserted it as his own. But as he inserted in the same paper one or two slighting allusions to me of correspondents, it would be but fair play" to acknowledge that which he approves. Literary piracy, being always looked upon as a very shabby sort of petty larceny, I feel confident I need only point out the omission to have it remedied." [This allusion to the purloining practice of Ma- jesty" is a just one. His Carmarthen journal is a notorious filch, a purloiner who coolly filches the fruit that others have gathered, and then meanly throws away the basket. "]

LORD MONTEAGLE'S FALLACY RESPECTING A FIXED DUTY ON CORN.-Tlte Atlas concludes α- powerful article in exposure of the fixity fallacy, by a piactical illustration of the effect of the working of a fixed duty as compared to free-trade. Engird o the Atlas, with an average harvesf ° 5 0 20,000,000 quarters of wheat, which b 0 2 6 supply to demand that keeps the price at about Sua. quarter. Every successive addition of about 2,500,000 quarters to this supply brings prices down about 5s. a quarter. Foreign countries can supply almost an unlimited quantity at 35s. a quarter, but owing to- length of voyage, internal transport, &c., the practical supply is limited pretty much as follows :-2,500,000 quarters can be imported, say at a cost of 10s. a quarter for transport; 2,500,000 quarters more at 15s.; 2,500,000 more at 20s and so on. Suppose now, first that there is free-trade :—prices here being 60s., of course the first batch of 2,500,000 quarters is imported, which can be sold at 45s., and this brings the price down to 55s.: this price still permits the second batch, to be brought in, which can be imported and sold for 50s., and this again reduces the average English price for the year to 50s., at which importation stops. Now, supposing tbat, with everything in the same position, there had been a fixed duty of 5s. Still the first batch of 2,500,000 quarters would have been imported, because it could have been sold, after paying the duty, at 50s. But the second batch would not have been imported, because it could not have been sold, duty paid, under 55s., while this addition to the supply would have reduced the price in the English market to 50s. Therefore, the practical result would be, that, in the one case, the average price of wheat for the year would be 55s., in the other 50., making a difference of 5,000,0001. to the consumers. This, we believe to be, as nearly as is possible in such cases. a mathematical demonstration of the practical difference between a fixed duty and free-trade in a country situated as England is at the present moment. We believe that there is no pro- position in Euclid more certain than that the import duty on corn, like those on sugar, tobacco and coffee, would, in the long run, and with the exception of insignificant temporary fluctuations, be paid wholly and exclusively by the consumer in the extravagant shape of an enhanced price on the total consumption of the king- dom, domestic as well as foreign. CONVERTS TO FREE TRADE.—Bradford has followed the mighty manifestations made at Manchester, Liver- pool and other places, in favour, of a total and immediate repeal of the corn laws. What gave the the Bradford meeting a peculiar significance was the number of Conservatives, landowners and others, previ- ously known to be favourable to the corn duty, who there came forward and made confession of their con- versation to the principles of free trade. Amongst these appeared the Chairman of the meeting, W. Rand, Esq., whose speech on the occasion will be read with deep interest. This is a most gratifying feature in the progress of the League for though the result is cer- tain even without the aid of the landowners, yet it is most desirable that in making a change of so much im- portance, the union of the propertied and industrial classes should not be farther dissevered than it is by supposed conflicting interests at present. The subscrip- tion made at the meeting towards the League Fund, af- fords equally gratifying evidence of the irresistible pro- gress of the corn-law abolition, movement being no less than one thousand seven hundred pounds, and up- wards-a sum three times the amount of that subscri- bed in the same locality last year.—Morning Advertiser. SLIDING-SCALE SLIDING-AWAY.—The Earl of Hard- wick held his rent audit at Cambridge on Monday last, and in the course of an address to his tenants, thus re- marked- After alluding to the late inccndinary fires, he urged upon tle farmers the a d i, upon the farmers the advantage of adopting an impro- ved system of cultivation, by which they might grow a double quantity of corn. He then observed, that there had lately been a great deal of agitation on the subject of the corn-law^. For himself, he, in common with Sir. R. Peel and the Duke of Buckingham, was oppo- sed to free tr-nle, but he thought that ultimately free trade jirivciplcs tnitst prevail. But he conceived the result would not be so disastrous as had been antici- pated. Now, the Earl of Hardwick is a member of the Go. vernment, and'it is his opinion, that ultimately free trade principles must prevail." The Premier think it absurd to deny that we should buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market;" and the Home Secretary deems the principles of free trade to be the princi- ples of common sense Can any dispassionate man doubt the ultimate course of a Government composed of individuals entertaining these opin- ions ? But the Earl of Hardwick states further—he conceived the result (that is of free) would not be so disastrous as had been anticipated." Here is the mere shadow or a shade of difference between the noble Earl's opinions and those of Earl Spencer, Earl Fitzwilliam, the Earl of Radnor, and all the leading landowners, who advocate a repeal of the corn laws.—Mark Lane Express. MATRIMONIAL PLEASANTRIS.—"Stop stop my dear.1" exclaims Mrs. John Smith, don't burn those old papers Hand them to me. I want them for Fanny and Bobby to make lighters of." "Sure enough," replies her indulgent spouse a penny saved is a penny earned. And now, when I think of it, dear, why not take my old Ion letters ? First-rate things to kindle a flame, hey?" Oh, yes, excellent," promptly rejoined Mrs. S., heaven knows they are dry enough." CHANCE FOR SPINSTERS OR YOUNG WIDOWS.—The following matrimonial advertisement, an improvement on the usual style of such announcements, appeared late- ly in a Liverpool paper: Wanted for better or worse, a young man's best companion.
