On Monday last tiie polling commenced at eight () clock, and in the early part of the day, Mr. Nugent "is consideribly in adwtnce of his opponents, and it having bee n stated that Mr. Jones intended to resign in his fa--our, the return of Mr. Nugent was considered Certaill.

NATIONAL EDUCATION. — At the village <>f Capel Drindod, near Newcastle-Emlyn, on the 3rd instant, a large meeting took place upon the subject of educa- tion, which was attended by several ministers as well as by most of the respectable freeholders and farmers of the district. Thomas Davies Lloyd, Esquire, of Bronwydd, presiding. The spirit of the resolutions passed was that a school should forthwith he established in the village based upon the National Education scheme, independent of all sectarian opinions; that a school-room be erected capable of containing 200 chil- dren, with a master's house adjoining that an appii- cation be made for the parliamentary educational grant of money, and that from the general committee now named, eight persons be chosen as a select COrtl- mittee, with instructions to carry into effect the reso- lutions of the meeting. The chairman after present- ing a piece of land for the erection of tile school, re- marked on the sure indication of ultimate success which this scheme already prognosticated from the fact of the deep interest which at this moment all classes of the community took upon the subject of education. Indi- vidual assistance however freely offered was compara- tively speaking of small avail, but when seconded by the free energy and determination of the people them- selves, the good work must be triumphantly carried out. The meeting was then adjourned. CARDIGAN.—THE DISTRESSED POOR.kl'e are happy to say that the exertions of the committee appointed to relieve the state of the poor and indigent of the parish of St. Mary, Cardigan, have been eminently successful. The subscription list already amounts to upwards of £70, and in addition to the £10 already sent by the R v. Mr. Miles th" worthy vicar, the Rev. G.

There is no rea- on why this business should not be taken as the ex- ponent of the collective wisdom of this body and, no state of things, one would imagine, could rouse faculties to action, (provided al ways that faculties exist,) more effectually than the disgusting conditjan jts charge daily prcseot to its view — could rouse it better to tht most economical and efficient use of the small means placed at its disposal; but, oh! ve Swansea rate-payers, see how your money is used. Little it is said can be done in so large a place with E3 IUs. per week; bllt, for seeing, or perchance now and then, for not seeing that little done, £ -30 a year is paid Having stated the con- tingency of not seeing it done, it may be remarked that on a foot path c'ose to a church, and under the sur- veyor's nose, have quietly reposed for weeks, heaps of house-rubbish successfully disputing tho ught of marl with all piously disposed people upon every Sabbath.

LAW OF MARRIAGE. j 1\,1.1. rT' t. P 7', t" J" I To the Editor uf ihs Welshman. SIR,-I have to thank you for the ready insertion of my last letter on this subject, and for your observations in support of the views I therein imperfectly attempted to advocate. I now desire to trouble you w;th some further remarks in support of an alteration of this law. In my last letter I attempted to establish two propo- sitions, the first, that the marriage of a widower with his deceased wife's sister is not contrary to the Lflwof God and the second, that no legislature has a right to interfere with personal freedom of action in the do- mestic lelations of life, unless bound to do so by a Divine obligation. This last proposition would seem to be so self-evident, as to amount to a truism, but strange as it may appear, those parties who resist the alteration of this law, do not assent to its truth, but setting aside the religious grounds of this question, oppose it because as they say the law, as it now stands, is best suited to the present forms and usages of society, and that, the change sought for would not only be inexpedient but encourage prac- tical immortality between the husband and the sister 11 Now sir, it is not to be denied that such immor- tality as this hcis already occurred, and instances might be adduced to prove it. There are and have been moral monsters who have committed such a crime as this men so base as to perpetrate the foulest adultery, and at the same time so lawless as to be without the pale, and defy the controul, of all law. For such men it is useless to legislate unless in the spirit ot Draco, and mark their crime by the infliction of the se- verest penalties. Experience therefore shews that the law as it now stands is wholly inoperative by way (f prerenÜon and stands M 7eAo?.?NfrK?'t'e 6?/ tcr<y o/'prei.'e/?i'o?and no longer be sustained. It is however said t'mt there is another evil which would aris.? from any alteration in this law, which is, that as according to the present state of society no unmarried man or woman can with any propriety or respectability live under the same roof if they arc persons not pre- vented by legal impediments from contracting marriage, that therefore a widower could not have the sister of his deceased wife resident in his house, and that therefore the children of such wife would be deprived of the benefit of the sister's care, seeing she might marry her brother- in-law. Now, however true the former p ii-t of this proposition may be as to society in general, yet it cannot with any fairness be applied to those who although strangers in blood, have yet been connected by affinity, through one dear to both, and each subject to the obser- vance of duties imposed unon them as well as to sym- pathies created by such affinity. Men who would not only not discharge those duties, but who would take advantage "of their peculiar position with reference to the sister of a deceased wife, to attempt her virtue or betray her unsuspecting confidence, can only be classed among those moral monsters to whom I have before alluded and for whom all legislation is Yain. Surely, the deceased wife's sister, clothed as she is with the sanction of relationship although not united by the ties of blood, may then as well as now inhabit the house of her brother-in-law and undertake the care of her orphan nephews and nieces where circumstances require it, not because she cannot stand in a nearer relationship to their father, for this is wholly beside the question, but because she is next to their mot., the natural guar- dian of such children and can shew a mother's love to those who have been deprived of it and what archer natural feelings toward s the father of these bereaved ones ? Their tears have flown from the same cause, they have mourned a common object, and each may solace the other by the sweet interchange of fraternal feelings without the thought of a nearer tie. Should, however, more tender thoughts arise in the mind of a widowed husband, should he see the lineament of a face, once so dear to him but now for enr" hid from his eyes" sur- viving in the likeness of his wife's sister, how cruel is it that he should be prevented from seeking to assuage his grief in a marriage far preferable to any other he might contract, for it would not only give to himself a wife but to his orphan children a kind mother and a faithful protrectress far beyond what they could hope for from the charities of a strange step-mother. Surely it is both unj ust and cruel to prevent such marriages, and all under a vague and chimerical notion of possible evil. I say" vague" and" chimerical" for in countries where these marriages are legalized they arc productive of no such unhappy results ,is -,ire predicted to arise from them. In the United States of America where they are most common they are so far from being doubtful as to their moral tendency that they are deemed the very best set of marriages, and Mr. Justice Story, no mean authority, says respecting them, In my whole life I never heard the slightest suggestion against them founded on moral or domestic considerations." I will now, sir, trespass upon you no longer. In this and my former letter I hope I have shewn most clearly that there are no religious grounds npon whieh these marriages are objectionable, nor indeed any other, and that common justice as well as the institutions of a free country require that these restrictions should be set aside and no longer exist. I am sir, Your obedient servant, Civis. With reference to the religious part of this question I would here observe that since my last letter I have referred to the Bible put forth by the English College of I Douay in 1609, and among the annotations" on the 18th Leviticus, I find as fol!ows: Agiin where the bw forbiddeth a man to marry or company with hi, wife's sister it addeth while she is licing, not prohibitin:7 mar- riage when his first wife was Head." A little further Oil the same commentator thus writes Wherefore soeing neither the first collateral degree in affinity nor the se- cond collateral in consanguinity or affinity, is forbid by the law of nature, but by positive" only and that both cere- monial and judicial laws of the old testament ceased iu the new and are abrogated by Christ, it rcsteth proved that the same bind not Christians, but as they 5re renewed and established by the church or christian conmusn- wealth In this case it cannot be objected that this is the com- InPut of a H.omanist, and therefore unworthy of oar attention as Protestants, as in this case it would be unne- cessary to put any forced construction oil this scripture seeing that such a marriage might be solemnised by the authority of the church or in other words by a dispen- sation from the Pope. It is curious to observe that in the Douay Bible the 18th verse is thus rendered, Thou shalt not take thy wife's sister for an harlot to vex her withal, neither shalt thou reveal her turpitude whilst she (the wife) is yet living."

SIR,—The controversy of two anonymous writers in.a newspaper can possess but slight interest to the public apart from the subject matter of their dispute; and liad not Junius" completely shirked the main points of my letter by confining himself exclusively to mere accessories, I should not have troubled you with these further ob- SC1"ttiOll> By reference to my former letter, it will be found that I drew attention to the neglect of friendless talent in the Welsh Protestant Church that no amount of natural aùilitv-no extent of classical acquirements- no purity of conduct, combined with both talent and acquirements, can obtain admission into the ministry the candidate has money enough to go through College, which, to a friendless youth, is a complete prohi- bition and that thus the aspiring young men of the J^i lncipality are thrown into the arms of the Dissenters or Lataoiics, who make them ministers free of expense. I furtiier stated that, without disparaging or deprecating College residence, or the studies pursued there, I sug- gested that youths of good moral character, who had by any means acquired the necessary College lore, should be allowed to present themselves before the Bishop, and, if their scholastic proficiency and testimonials should be found satisfactory, they should be ordained without having attended any College or University. And, as to schoolmasters in particular, I put the question whether it would not have the tendency to elevate that class bv infusing the element^ of impe into its present hopeless prospective, to make it a rule that having kept school for seven consecutive years (say from 18 to 25) will be con- sidered equal to having passed four years at Lampeter, and will entitle a young man to go up and be examined in those studies that are pursued in that College, and to be ordained or not according to his proficiency. To illus- trate the dan?'r of neglecting young men who are a?\ious?o be admitted to orders in this Diocese, I b?-ou"ht forward the case of Mr. John Davies, a young ) 1 () 1 f' 1'10 \lO"l>n"ster Wll0 n:¡d gone ov('r to tile IJIlUrei1 or lí-O!l1C because he had no funds to defray his expenses at Lam- peter, and I concluded by asking whether it was not likely that Mr. Davies's example would be followed by others, unless more scope and countenance were given to unfriended talent in the Church in this Diocese. This is an outline of my letter: taking it for granted, and for the purpose of argument and for avoiding discittission, that the studies at Lampeter and the Universities arc the best possible for qualifying a student to be a clergyman in the mountains of Wales. The above were my views, and I took up the letter of Junius" for the purpose of seeing how he met them but judge my surprise when I found that he has not once touched upon. the real state of the question. But to be a little more minute. He began by saying that the con- tents of my letter, in his opinion, "cans for grave ani- madversion. The sickly and vapid tone of morality nia(li-c,rsio n. The sickl3-ti) 'L?) le of iiiora,itv of unqualified reprobation." All this is contained in the first five lines of "J unius" and is quite sufficient to satisfy any one of his mental cal£?re !\cquirpments. You need not he told, sir, that we are never entitled to make an inference stronger than the premises on which it depends. Not so "Junius." He says that the sickly and vapid morality which seems to pervade my letter, is deserving of unqualified reprobation. So" J unius" con- siders I am deserving of "unqualified reprobation", though, by his premises, it only seems that I have done what is deserving of that reprobation. In other words, he is quite sure that I must be punished, though by no means so sure that I am guilty. This is what I believe they call Irish logic. Neither will "Junius's" notion of Ethics pass much better than his Logic. "Vapirl and sickly morality." And so morality is a mere question of taste and, like a leg of mutton or a crust of bread, de- pends upon the palate of the recipient. Morality, ac- cording to Palev, is that science which teaches men their duty and the reason of it." But Junius" by in- troducing such new words into the Englih lannage, s sick1y and vapid morality" makes our" duty and the science which teaches 'It," a t)iei-c,)ii,,itter of Laste, of N-;Illlil, or of inclination. I always thought morality to be a stern, uncompromising, and, as Cudworth calls it, "im- mutable rule of is eternally the same and knows no change,nor shadow of change." But Junius" makes it to be quite otherwise. I remember in early youth reading the Prochicial.es of Pascal,and if I re- member right, the charge brought by the great Jansinest against the Jesuits, that they made morality he a kind of Indian-ruboer religion that would accommodate itself to every proposition- vapid and sickly", as tiie case nii^ gut lie, and would fit any conscience, large or small, diseased or vitiated. However, I must proceed to notice some other passages. Ftii-tlier on, "Junius" states that "1 (J nni us*> have been intimately acquainted with Mr. Davies for the 1 ast four five years, and unhesitatingly avow my conviction that neither his natural abilities nor his classical attainments, &e. are at all above mediocrity." He afterwards calls him a man of" floating, shifting,and unsubstantial prin- ciples." Further on, he states that he (Junius) can prove to a demonstration that Davies had been in communication with the Romish Church for at least two  Ni:;v. judging of p' eople by the old adage, "laViS o{ a feather lfock together", n !t unc h a- ritaa'e to conc n d c" j unius" to have drawn his own P"??'w:.en he sketched that of the bosom friend, wIth whom he had becn intimate?v acquainted for the la??t 4 or o years—his natural abilities nor his classical attalpments not "at ail above mediocrity—a man of floating, shifting, and unsubstantial principles, and it can be proved to a demonstration that I)e has been in com- munication with the Romish Church for at least 2 years." It Junius" was not a particevs criminis with Mr. Davies in this alleged com munication with Rome, why did he not break U1) the intimacy subsisting between them, and inform the Rev. John Hughes, Vicar of Llanbadarn-fawr of the circumstance, as well as cf the adeged letter received bv Mri Davies from the Romish Dignilary in 1815. Was "it not the duty of Junius" to state the whole circumstances to Mr. Hughes, that Davies, the schoolmaster of Llanbadarn school, was tampering with Poper v ? Did he do so? And why did hv. not ? The conclusion is inevitable that Junius was himself in communication with the Romish Church. "Junius" brings on the example of Judas — calling Davies, Judas for betraying the Church of England. Now, how stands the case with Junius" himself—after being intimately acquainted together for so many years, lie now comes in print to betray his friend Assuming Mr. Davies to be as floating, shifting, and unsubstantial, and ten times more so than he is yet, if Davies had been weak enough to form a friendship with him, it were to have been hoped for the sake of tiie name he assumes —the mighty statnomines umbra, that he had not proved in the face of his letter that he is more entitled to the name of Judas than Davies is. In the course of his letter, "Junius" attempts to prove that I have over-stated the amount required to pass through Lampeter. Whether I have or have not, I had no object to answer by so doing, for it is quite indif- ferent to a poor man whetheAhe expense of going through college he one pound or a thousand, if it be out of his power to obtain the pound. They are both equally impossible to be had bv him, and I never heaid of de- grees in impossibilities. Junius" says enable a youth to pass throuh Lampcter;' but here there is a mental reservation, a stiporessio veri which shews how well qualified he is to follow his friend Davies to Rome. He states £ 210 will be the amount of college fees, but he says nothing of the grocer's, the bookseller's, the tailor's, the laundress's, K-C. lill,, the travelling ex- pences, and the board and lodgings during the vacation. In another part of his letter he asks me whether I am aware of the society established in Bristol the object of which is to maintain young men in narrow circumstances at or Oxford. Was I aware that this society in a ll11mber of instances defrayed all the college expenccs and actually supplied the object of its patronage with apparel, travelling expenses, and even pocket money ? Could'nt Mr. Davies, (" Junius" proceeds) being a young man of unexceptionable moral character have been suc- cessful in an application for the Bristol society's assis- tance. I (still Junius") see no earthly reason why he should not." But I (Protestant) can see every "earthly reason" why he should not—and vei-yeartlily reasons indeed they are. Davies had no friend to bacic him at Bristol, he is not a parson's son, he has no rich patron to push him on, and he therefore lost heart and lost hope, and took shelter in the Church of Rome. As to this said Bristol society, "Junius" will do a great service if he will give a list of those young men in narrow circumstances, whom it has patronized in the manner Junius" represents, and then the public will be able to jadg-e whether the vroteges of this society are deserving of all this and whether they are so much superior to Mr. Davies as to entitle them to so much favour. By the bye did" Junius" ever advise Davies to apply to this society, and did he refuse? Having touched at so much length on every part of importance in Junius's" epistle, I shall not say one word about his charitable invitation to Mr. Davies" to lose no time in retracing his steps, and returning to the faith he has abjured. This is rather cool in "Junius" after abusing his quondam friend, betraying his confidence, and liolj- ing him up to public scorn • as a mancf natural acuities, and classical acquirements, not at all above mediocrity," a man whose conduct would turn religion into priestcraft and masquerading in sOlrp] ices-a man of" floating, shift- ing, and unsubstantial principles"—a man betraying the church with a Judas's kiss." Now here is this Junius" after heaping all these expressions of con- tumely on his former intimate acquaintance, coolly inviting him. after all this "shewing up"—" Come back, dear Davies, keep a school, and starve." In conclusion, I trust this melancholy affair will induce the ecclesiastical authorities of the diocese to reflect whether their neglect of the Pucri Pauperi of the principality can conduce to the prosperity of the church. Yours, &e., A PROTESTANT.

A CONSTITUTION FOR PRUSSIA. I Prussia must ever regard as one of her most. memorable anniversaries the 3d of February, 1817. On that day a constitution was given to. the Prussian people by Frederick WillicliD IV., and by the royal ordinance in which that glorious announcement was made the repre- sentative system of government was formally incorpo- rated in the Legislature of the kingdom. •. In the constitution granted to Prussia by the reigning Sovereign a representative legislature is permanently established. The people are henceforth to have it voice in the fabrication and administration of the laws by, which they are governed.— Suit. A LOVING COUPLE.—A newly married couple took up their abode in Poplar-street. At breakfast the next morning, after their entrance, the gentleman said to his lady, "2\ly dcar, this is Poplar-street, and by putting i" u (You) it becoinpsroprLAR." "And by putting us in it," promptly replied the lady, if will become roruL(o)us." DECAY or CHRISTIANITY.—On Sabbath last a boat belonging to Wick, while attempting to get off Helms- dale harbour, was struck by a. sea, and driven to the south part of the river, where she became a wreck. The cargo, wheat and barley, was considerably damaged. The g'ood people of Helmsdale refnsed to vender assist- ance, because it was the Subbal.i I John O'Groat's Journal.
