GAN DAFYDD JONES, Y MAE dyn v fath greadur, fel y gellir dweyd am dano, ei bod yn anmhossibl iddo fyw yny presenol; y mae ei ieddwl rywibdd yn cymeryd ei adenydd ac yn dianc ar amser, er cyflymed yw hwnw, ac yn cario y dvn yn mlaen, megys yn ddiarwybod iddo ei hun, nes y mae yn byw ei holl tywyd bron, yn y dyfodol. Nis gall fyw yn wahanol; ac nid^oes digon o lyfetheiriau gan holl ormes- wyr a chaetlifeistriaid y byd, i lyfetheirio un meddwl, na'i rwystro i ymwthio yn mlaen i fyw yn y dyfodol. Y mae yn mynu myned yn mlaen er pob rhwystrau; nis gall beidio, ac nid oes le i'w feio ychwaith am hyny. Yn awr, y rheswm mawr—y prifreswm-ac feallai, mai yr unig reswm a allwn ei roddi am Sefydliad a Bodolaeth y Gymdeithas hon, a chymdeithasau cynorthwyol eraill yw, am fod dyn y fath greadur a nodasom—am ei fod yn byw y rhan fwyaf o'i amser yn y dyfodol. Yr amcan mewn golwg wrth sefydlu cymdeithasau o'r fath yma ydyw, i'r aelodau ymuno a'u gilydd i dalu yn fisol hyn a liyn i'r drysorfa, i'r dyben o gynorthwyo eu gilydd mewn cyfyngderau yn cael eu hachosi gan gys- tuddiau, yn nghyda chynorthwyo y perthynasau i fyned trwy amgylchiad y claddedigaeth, &c., ar ol marwolaeth un o'r aelodau. Dyma yr amcan onide ? ac fe farna pob dyn o synwyr cyffredin, ei fod yn amcan da hefyd; oblegid nid oes dim yn fwy unol a natur pethau, nag i ddyn yn y presenol, barotoi ar gyfer y dyfodol. Y mae rhagddarbod yn y presenol ar gyfer y ,'dyfodol yn rhinwedd a ganmolir yn mhob dyn, ac yn ddyled- swydd y mae v cyflawniad o honi yn sicr o gael ei wobr- wyo yn y dyfodol, naill ai yn uniongyrchol neu yn an- uniongyrchol-^ Pwy a ddywed mai nid rhinwedd mewn dyn ydyw parotoi mewn llawnder ar gyfer prinder—parotoi mewn {echyd ar gyfer afiechyd—a pliarotoi mewn ieuenctyd ar gyfer lienaint? Y mae cyflawni y pethau yna yn ddyled- swydd 'arbenig ar bob dyn, a byddai esgeulusdod cyffredinol o'r ddyledswydd hon, yn ddinystr buan ac annocheladwy ar y byd yn gyffredinol. Pe byddai i'r gweithiwr tanddaearol, a'r gweithiwr tan, yn nghyda phob gweithiwr, yn wir, esgeuluso eu gwaith, pe byddai i'r garddwr esgeuluso ei ddyledswydd- au yn yr ard'd, ar amaethwr esgeuluso ei feisydd, a hyny yn hollol am flwyddyn gyfan, pa beth atolwg fyddai agwedd y byd? Y mae pawb mi wn yn ddigon parod i ateb, mai agwedd bur wael, isel, a thruenus fyddai arno yn gyffi-edihol. Ond gan fod dynion yn edrych yn mlaen i'r dyfodol, y maent yn ymdrechu a'u holl egni i gyflawni eu dyledswyddau a'u gorchwylion, y naill ddiwrnod ar ol y llall, a'r naill flwyddyn ar ol eu gilydd, a hyny mewn gobaith o gael mwynhau ffrwyth eu llafur gyda phleser rhyw dymor eto sydd yn ol. Gallwn ofyn eto, paham yr ydym ni fel gweithwyr (rhai o honom) yn anturio ein bywydau i beryglon nas gellir dweyd eu rhif, a hyny yn mherfeddion tywyll y ddaear, lie nad ymddanghosodd gwyneb haul na llygad foleuni, ond yn unig goleuni y ganwyll neu y lamp ? 'aham y mae eraill o honom yn toddi mer ein hesryrn o flaen y tan? &c. Ha! yr ydych yu cofio "Cannos Sadwrn y Gweithiwr" gan Cawrdaf mi wn; edrych yn mlaen i'r dyfodol y mae y dyn am ei gyflog fach nos Wener neu nos Sadwrn, yr hon sydd yn ei alluogi ef a'i deulu i gael cysuron ac angenrheidiau natur, i'w mwyn- hau yn yr wythnos ganlynol.

Yr ydym yn meddwl ei fod bellach yn eithaf anilw°' fod cymdeithasau o'r fath yma yn fuddiol, ac mai rhinwedd ynom ninau yw ein bod yn sefydlu ac yn cvnal cymdeithasau o'r fath.

Y mae hyny yn amlwg i ni pan yr ystyriom fod nifer y cymdeithasau cynorthwyol yn y deyrnas yn ddim llai na thua 33,250, a nifer yr aelodau yn ddim llai na 3,000,000, (tair miliwn), ac yn cyfranu yn flynyddol i'r drysorfa £ 5,000,000, (pum "miliwn o bunnau), ac yn meddu capital 0 £ ^1,360,000, (un-filiwn-ar-ddeg, tri chant a thriugain o filoedd o bunnau), yr hyn sydd yn E3 15s.

-On OUR ANGLO-SAXON FOREFATHERS. A LECTURE BY THE REV. GEO. W. HUMPHREYS, B.A. (Continued from our last.) I have mentioned the Roman invasion, and have alluded to the invasion of England byaother people. Some one may feel disposed to ask, when did these different invasions take place, and in what order did the invaders come? Nearly every one here knows that the Romans were the first invaders of whom we have any knowledge, and that they came about 55 B.C. Their leader was Julias Csesar, that grandest of the many grand and great men of Eome. From the shores of France, which Ctcsar had overran, he saw the white cliffs of Kent, and like Alexan- der greedily desiring other countries to conquer, he pushed off for the shores of Albion. His first landing place was Deal, where he met with a rough greeting from our tattooed forefathers. But Roman skill and enterprise were too much for British strength. Csesar conquered them, and conquered more widely in the following spring, when he paid his second unwelcome visit to our shores. At the time when the Romans invaded our Island, it was inhabited by a vast number of distinct tribes, of whom the Romans have pre- served the names ot more than forty. After an oc- cupancy ofabout500 years, the Eomans had to quit. Their empire had crumbled to pieces. The mighty fabric tumbled down much more rapidly than it had been put up. Amongst the spoils, Britain fell to the share, or more correctly speaking, it was snatched up by the vagrant tribes of Germany. The Jutes, Anglea-Saxons, came in quick succes- sion, and possessed themselves of that part of Great Britain, which we call England. But as we shall have to speak of the Saxon invasion again, we shall pass over to that of the Danes. About the year 800 after Christ, the different kings of England were at war with each other. The king- dom, or rather the country, was divided against itself, and did not stand. There were people inhabiting the north of Europe who were call- ed Danes, or Northmen, a sort of blood-thirsty race. They were always at war. But instead of fighting among themselves as the kings of Eng- land did, they fought with the kings or chiefs of other lands. These wars which kept England in a state of commotion, were just what these Danes liked. So one day they sent three of their ships to visit our country. They landed their crews near one of the "king's towns," in Dorsetshire. What town this was, we are not informed, but I believe it was "Lyme Regis," in Dorsetshire. The unsuspecting Mayor of the town, rode to meet these strangers, expecting to receive the customary dues from their merchandise. Instead of receiving money, he received a death blow from one of the Danish battle axes. From this time up to the period of the Eoman conquest, the Danes were the inveterate foes of the English. They were human pests, coming in swarms upon our shores, and swallowing up everything that came in their way. The next and last who ever invaded England, were the Normans under William They landed, as we all know, at Hastings, in 1066 A.D. It would be a very interesting and instructing study to enquire into the causes and effects of each invasion; to mark the characteristics of our country and countrymen previous to the coming of each hostile army, and then stepping over a few years so as to allow the invaders time to settle in the land, and influence the institutions and customs, to enqnire again in what respect, and to what degree invaders and invaded had acted upon each other, introducing new institutions and laws, or modifying those previously in existence. To return to the Anglo-Saxon compartment in the building to which we have compared English History; we find a map of England during the Anglo-Saxon period lying before us. But instead of seeing the land divided into counties as at present, we find it marked off into kingdoms. There were seven of these kingdoms. They are called collectively the Heptarchy. We must not include Wales or Scotland in our notion of these divisions. They include only England. The northern part of the country was called North- TJmbria. This division extended from the borders of Scotland to the' southern limits of Yorkshire; from this point the kingdom of Merci reached in a south direction to the borders of Gloucestershire stretching along the western coast was the king- dom of Wessex. This includes Somersetshire, Dorsetshire, and Hants; then comes the king- dom of Sussex, comprised in the county which still bears that name. Then skirting the coast, comes the kingdom of the East Saxons, known now by the name of Essex. Then we have the next division called Cantwara, or as it is now known Kent. The seventh is that of the East Angles, including the countries of Suffolk and Norfolk. You will see by this, that the country was cut up into small allotments. Over each of these sections, there was a king ruling, and over the whole, one of the kings was supreme. He was called the Bretwalda, or Ruler of the Brit- tons. This map at which we suppose ourselves look- ing, does not mention one fact of great import- ance connected with these kingdoms. That is, that it often happened that one of the kings was so:much morepowrerful than his neighbours, as to hold them in absolute subjection to himself. Thus when OfFa was king of Mercia, all the other six kings of England had only a nominal existence. They were mere playthings in that savage monarch's hands;—playthings from which he managed to deriue profit as well as amusement. Kings now are pretty much the same as the kings were of old. They like to take a slice from each other's share, and they dont mind doing a little at assa- ination under the name of war the better to accomplish their purpose. Some one asks "How did these Anglo-Saxons make their laws? Had they reprcsenfiiiive as- semblies as we have for the purpose of carrying on the work of legislation? Had they popular elections, or how were the law-makers elected, and when elected, where did they meet? They had no such thing as popular elections although they had representative assemblies, and instead of meeting in some grand hall as our legislators do now, their gatherings were com- monly held in the open air on some conspicuous mount, by the side of some sacred stream, under the shadow of some ancient oak, or some time hallowed stone. The wide earth was their place of gathering, the heavens the roof ttrctching over their heads, the sloping hill supplied them with seats, and the green grass was their carpets. The spell of principal superstition lingeredround many of these places, and conspired, with the precepts of a purer faith:—one of the main objects of re- ligion—an increased reverence for truth and justice. What if we could go back a thousand years, and stand on the outskirts of one of these gatherings of rude half-barborous law makers, and listen to their speeches, and note their mode of proceeding. It would be a grand sight to see those rough half-tamed men with their grave savage looks, having perhaps but just returned from a fierce battle with a neighbouring king, sit down with composure and much anxiety to deliberate upon new laws, or for the purpose of administering old ones. But as me cannot roll back the wheels of time, we will do the next best thing, and avail ourselves of the means at hand for describing this law court of the Anglo-Saxons. Let us try to fancy ourselves standing in sight of one of these assemblies. Or what would be better still, let us bring into play all the power of imag- ination which we possess, and suppose that there is hanging on this wall a painting representing this Anglo-Saxon legislative assembly. The meet- ing appears to have been held on the side of a sloping hill. Right in front of us and at the other end of the company is a large shady oak. Per- haps those old Druidical priests of the Celts, once sacrificed human victims here to Thor or some other of their insensible Deities. But the place is used for a far better purpose now. And although we may not approve of every thing that will be said in the assembly, or of every law which may be enacted, one cannot help seeing and feeling, that those warrior-looking law-makers are honest, straightforward, thougjjijkfkl men. The firs!; gWiee tells you that tfiaT'oS^cdtid looking person, sitting close to the tree, is the King. You must remember that the king in those days was always present at the making as well as the administration of the laws. This is never the case now. The monarch never goes to the houses of parliament except to open the session, and on no occasion visits the court of justice. The king is surrounded by his Ministers as we should call them. That rough looking man close by the king's side is the stallere. He is a sort of groom of the stall. It is his duty to look after the arrangements of the stable. The portly nobleman with the huge knife and wooden tren- cher is Arthelmar the Dish Thane; he carves the meat for royalty. Hugoline, that cautious, sly-looking clerk, close by, is the Bower Thane, or chamberlain, he keeps the keys of the king's Hoard. There are four or five men—quiet looking men -with shaved heads. Who are they? They are the Clerks of the King's Chapel. Or as we should call them Chaplains. There is another of them at the head of the table, his name is Rein- baldus. This man is the Arch Chaplain. He is the King's Confessor, who takes care of the King's conscience, and imposes very hard penan- ces upon His Majesty when he has sinned. Chaplains employed as writing Clerks—whence name Clerks. (To be continued.) -aft* MEETHYE AND ABERGAVENNY RAILWAY. IMPORTANT MEETING AT BRYNMA WR. (By our own Reporter.) ACCORDING to advertisement, this meeting was held at the Town Hall, on Monday, and was at- tended not only by the Engineer, Surveyor, and Secretary of the Company, but by a large au- dience, who took a very warm interest in the proceedings. Besides Messrs. Connybeare, Gard- ner, and Gordon, Company's officers, we observed present the following gentlemenJ. Jayne, Esq. Messrs. J. Hitchman, William. Jones, Wm. Griffiths, Wm. Ford, Edward Davis, Wm. Bythel, J. Evans, John Swain, John Judd, T. Kershaw, Wm. Williams, David Edwards, W. Waters (Tredegar), Thomas Roberts. Mr. David Edwards having been prevailed upon, with some difficulty, to take the chair, said, One consideration alone prevails over my disin- clination to assume the office of Chairman this evening,-a desire to serve my fellow-townsmen. I feel I am in the wrong position (No, no) if it must be, however, I will serve you to the best of my ability. It is needless to make many preli- minary observations you all know as well as I do for what purpose these bills and advertise- ments have been put out. It is to promote by your exertions, a railway through Brynmawr. The first question is, is it required? I at once answer in the affirmative. There is no doubt we want it badly. We want to go to Abergavenny to see things and people their agricultural produce-hay, corn, butter, eggs, &c. We look this way for such supplies, and not to N ewport, which swallows everything herself, or what passes there falls by keen competition to the works below us. Abergavenny is the key to the agricultural wealth of Monmouth and Hereford. It is the diirect road to the northern metropolis, with Liverpool its seaport; and when the Here- ford and Worcester Line is opened, it will be the direct route to London without change of guage. You want also to go to Merthyr and the inter- mediate towns you want your summer trip to Swansea, for sea air and water. For this the Loop Line will not serve us. It does not. There are 6 'busses to Merthyr on Mondays, and seve- ral daily; these indicate plainly enough our de- ficiency. But there is another important ques- tion,—the want of a railway is universally felt. Can it be made ? Is it practicable ? The En- gineer is present to answer this question, but you will recollect that previous scientific investiga- tions have ascertained the practicability of the scheme. I will not be very positive about its paying. There is a dense neighbourhood. If railways pay anywhere, this ought. If it do not pay, it will be a bungling job of somebody. Some have thought it will affect the trade of Brynmawr injuriously. It may be good for Abergavenny and bad for us, it is said. Tremble, my friends, to think of the dangers to which you are exposed from the competition of Abergavenny. Why dont you look frightened, men of Brynmawr, at the prospect of a fair stand-up fight with the commercial game cock of Abergavenny. Well, perhaps you are right. I don't think you will have to go to Abergavenny for lucifer matches yet; but if we can't serve you as cheaply here as at the end of the line, we will deserve to be put out of the way. I have no doubt trade will be promoted and the value of property enhanced by this rail. Some people must dwell on the Bryn after all. We have been living on Nautyglo works a good while we require something else. Dismiss your fears. Make a road and be not afraid. Ack yourselves,—Does this project come before us to-night with such credentials as to justify our support ? I declare it does. I think it feasible. We have the support of Mr. Craw- shay Bailey, and though Skirrit" should make a scarecrow of himself, and perch on the moun- tain of that name, we will not be deterred from a wise purpose. Mr. Crawshay Bailey, whom we all thoroughly respect, does not fly kites, nor are Mr. J'ayne and others I see present, the men who will lend their names and influence to an impos- ture. I now call upon Mr. Connybeare, En- gineer, to explain the intended construction of the line. Mr. Connybeare said, I need not go over the whole of the ground I described at Aber. gavenny. The road is intended to pass from near the Lunatic Asylum, Abergavenny, on Mr. Bailey's Tramway, to Brynmawr. The gradients are moderate. Everybody in these districts understands railways, so that much explanationis unnecessary. The whole line can be made, for cash, for eight to ten thousand pounds a mile. The only difficulty in the line occurs between Dowlais and Merthyr. It was thought at first that the line of the Taff Vechan would be most advantageous, but subsequent surveys have modi- fied this opinion, and it is now determined to enter Dowlais by the eastern side, which is quite practicable, and will give a good junction with the Yale of Neath Railway. From Dowlais to Brynmawr is easy, of course; there will be a rather considerable bridge at Rhyd-y-Blewand other places. There are two ways of construct- ing a railway. When the capital is not enough to begin the whole line at once, a very consider- able part is given to some contractor, who is paid in shares. This I need hardly say is the dear plan. The other way is under the same condi- tions to carry on the work by sections. This line presents great advantages for the latter mode of proceeding, which requires ready cash. The sec- tion from Abergavenny to Beaufort could be made and opened for traffic so as to cause a com- plete scramble for the remaining shares. I am glad to inform this meeting, that Mr. Pritchard's opposition to our project at Abergavenny is un- sanctioned and disavowed by the Hereford and Abergavenny Board. Where a line is wanted, Parliamentary opposition is of no use, bnt it adds materially to the expenses. Mr. Williams, of the Vale of Neath, whose letter produced a sen- sation in favour of our scheme, has since that time informed me that had he known the use to which his letter would be put, he could have made out a much stronger case. He was sure there would be a large mineral traffic. If the road was to be made cheaply, it must be made for cash. There was a good reason why the large capitalists should not come forward at first. Ite- collect how they were left in the lurch at Cole- ford. I advise you not to call upon Hercules tIll you put your own shoulder to the wheel. T our Gods take a pleasure, also, in helping those who will help themselves. The great employers will not be long behind you. No men have shown more interest in the employed than the leading merchants and manufacturers of these districts. Take the example of Abergavenny. These schemes must have a local endorsement. Sub- scribe as much as you can. J. Gardner, Esq., one of the Engineers of the !t 'Me, said, Mr. Chairman aud Gentle- men, the estimate of the expence of this line is ESOOO per mile. Upon a trustworthy estimate of the traffic for two months recently made, we get the following data annually:— Passengers of all kind. 240,006 return £ 10,925 Horses. 2,548 ——— £ 254 Unknown 26,000 ——— X692 Tonnage. 40,800 ——— jE4,596 £16,457 This is the traffic between Abergavenny and Brynmawr. I cannot guarantee the statement, but I believe it to be correct. A. T. Gordon, Esq., Secretary to the Board, endorsed the statements of his colleagues. The meeting could not invest money with more se- curity, and if they did not do all they might that night, he would be happy to receive further sub- scriptions at his office in London. Mr. Joseph Needham of Brynmawr was then called upon to support a resolution to the follow- ing effect :That this meeting is of opinion that a Railway from Merthyr to Abergavenny would be an immense benefit to the districts through which it passes, because it would connect Merthyr and the intermediate towns to Abergavenny, with Liverpool, the north of England, and the midland counties on the one hand, and with Swansea and South Wales on the other; affording facilities for cheap communication, and readier access from the mineral districts to the counties of Monmouth and Hereford, than they now possess." Had I known, Sir, that I should be called upon to take part in the proceedings, I would have studied the details of the subject more closely. It is true that I once surveyed the line on the Dowlais side, and though that is the most difficult part of it, my impression was, that it would be a good paying line. Economy must be the order of the day, and the proposal to make the line by sections upon tLe cash principle could not be amended. I re- member the time when we could scarcely afford a' bus daily, but now things are widely different. Nor while dwelling upon the material part of the scheme, ought we to omit the consideration of other advantages following in the track of the rail-intetligence, cleanliness, and other good moral results follow inevitably in the wake of railway extension. Here we are locked up, and all manner of inconvenieces are the consequences. Our present race of tradesmen are fully aware to the value of time, and would go by Telegraph if they could. I not only fully agree with the terms of the resolution in my hand, Sir, but I will give my help by canvassing for shares and taking some myself. That after all is the best method of showing our approval. Mr. Davies. local Engineer, having seconded this proposition, it was put to the meeting and carried unanimously. Mr. E. Davies, Solicitor, was then called upon to support the second resolution. He said,- Mr. Chairman, as you said you supposed I was on the look out for a job, you thereupon gave me one. It behoves me to say something on the matter, which I do the more willingly from hav- ing been a former resident in Brynmawr, and am still connected with it by sentiment and business. I have a suspicion indeed that I was not looking out for a job, (professionally at least), but I have come from a distance to lend a hand or a finger as it may be, in forwarding this excellent project. I have seen Brynmawr grow from a dirty ill regul- lated village, to a cleanly well managed town with its Gas, Board of Health, and other good ins- titutions, and it seems to me that nothing is wanting to its final crown and polish but a rail- way. The Engineers have already laid before you the capabilities of the district to be traversed, and on this ground I will not offer an opinion. I rely upon their judgment, and I belive it will be a great boon. If not, they wont cram a'railway down your throats. My resolution like many other well armed things, has its sting in the tail. It is to the following effect, "That this meeting confidently antitipates of this railway if complet- ed at the estimated cost, and managed with pru- dence and economy, that it will yield a fair di- vidend to the shareholders." I agree with this proposition, but ask how it is to be constructed economically and managed prudently? The an- swer is plain, it must have ready cash for a basis. If you want a good thing, you must pay for it. Many say "I hope the line will be made, but I have'nt got L20 to spare. Well you dont want it. I haven't got ze20 either, but I mean to have some shares. It is only knocking off the grog for a few days, or any other of the hundred practi- cable economics, and the work is done. If the affair goes no further, those professional gentle- men will take 5s. out of our £ 2 deposit for their trouble. If you go unsuccessfully to Parliament, (of which no fear) perhaps your forty shillings is spent, if successful, perhaps it;wilI not be spent; but the bulk of the subscription will be spread over 2 or 3 years in calls at successive intervals. Just as you pay an insurance on your life by suc- cessive premiums to accumulate a sum in bulk at your death. No one above the condition of a common labourer, will find it out of his power to take a share, and I can tell you that every man in this room is wanted. If you dont find money, you wont get a railway. Is it not too much to assert, that the fate of the railway is in the hands of this meeting. (Applause.) Mr. Solomon Chilton felt hapny to support the proceeding resolution. He had no doubt it would pay well. If we did not profit by it (the speaker well stricken in years) our children would. Mr. Jones, of Beaufort, then proposod the fol- lowing resolution;—"That this meeting, consider- ing the success of the project to depend mainly upon local support, recommends owners of pro- perty and tradesmen to give it their aid and support by becoming shareholders." Sir, I fully concur in the terms of the motion, and I have no doubt every one present does the same. Mr. Edwards, Brynmawr, in supporting the above, said "Our interests as tradesmen require a railway. We are not on a footing of equality with our Merthyr brethren by a long way, as the meeting would comprehend when be told them that for one description of goods, Brynmawr had to pay 27s. 6d. a ton more than the former place. We dont expect to get all the advantage by the proposed change, it will be shared with our cus- tomers. He would just make one observation here. The public of Brynmawr had been shame- fully treated by the Monmouthshire Canal Com- pany. He had nothing to say against individual members of that board, but in their corporate capacity, he would drag them through the mud from Blaina to Brynmawr, for the shameful man- ner in which they had stopped short in affording accommodation to the inhabitants of the Bryn. He would now call upon Mr. Jayne to address the meeting, which was, he felt sure, getting anxious to hear him. Mr. Jayne, "I attended this meeting to hear, not to speak. I'will say now, however, that I believe the proposed line will do good to all, harm to none. Not even to the Loop line. The money will be prudently laid out you are in the hands of honorable men, who give the best guarantee for the conduct of the affairs of others, by the management of their own, Your generous con- tributions are asked towards an object worthy of them. The Abergavenny men have acted nobly, as those who desire and deserve a boon should. Do your part then with a like enthusiasm, and if Tredegar only respond to your efforts, success is "un fait accompli." Let me assure you, as one upon whom the honor of director is about to be put, that if I see any doubt about the ultimate cost, not a spade shall be put in the ground. You and I will walk to Abergavenny all our lives rather. Mr. Kershaw, Brynmawr, being called to move the fourth resolution said, "I am of opinion that this railway will be of great benefit to the inha- bitants of the Bryn and the other towns on tae rout. It cant help paying, being so necessary. We can grow nothing for the use of man on these bleak hills, and we must have a communication with the agricultural districts. Considering the passenger traffic under the present vaxatious hin- drances, I believe that branch alone would pay, and I therefore have great pleasure in proposing the following resolution "That the following gentlemen, with power to add to their number, be authorised to form a local committee for the purpose of canvassing the neighbourhood, and otherwise promoting the objects of this meeting ;'8 FOR BRYNMAWR. Mr. David Edwards Mr. George White Mr. Roger Edwards Mr. Thomas Bevan Mr. George Hicks Mr. Edward Edwards Mr. William Williams Mr. Thomas Hope Mr. Thomas Kershaw Mr. Josepb Needham Mr. Solomon Chilton FOR BEAUFORT. Mr. William Partridge I Mr. William Jones Mr. Joseph Needham Mr. Edward Miles Mr. Richard Phillips Mr. D. Beavan Mr. Thomas Greenland The resolution was seconded by Mr. Hicks, and carried unanimously. Mr. Isaacs, addressing the chair, rose on behalf of the tradesmen of Abergavenny to express the feeling of pleasure with which they regarded the sympathies of Brynmawr on this occasion. They wished for no exclusive benefits. He would just remark on the difficulty and delay of the Loop line. By Wright's tables, it would take above 4 hours in going and returning between Blaina and Abergavenny, and it could only be dome once a day. In canvassing, "perseverance' was the watch word; by that means, in a little town of 5000 inhabitants (Abergavenny), 624 shares had been taken, he'expected 1000. The Chairman said, seeing several lawyers around him, they should not escape without giv- ing a gratuitous professional opinion, though it was a lean job, if he could help it. He wanted to know whether the proprietor of one share would be liable in any event, to more than the amount of his share £20. Two gentlemen, Messrs Waters and Davies we believe, answered at once in the negative. Mr. Charles Daniel, Abergavenny, in rising to propose a vote of thanks to the Chairman, said, On Mr. Edwards taking the chair, I mentally pronounced him a sensible man, and from the manner in which he has performed his duties, you will be prepared to ratify my opinion. Mr. Daniel closed a neat and eloquent address by moving that the thanks of this meeting be offered to the Chairman for his able conduct of the proceedings. Mr. Conway, in seconding the proposition, said, his ancestors lived in this place 200 years ago, and he thought that circumstance gave him a right to address the meeting. He had observed the self-respect which an interest in Freehold Land Societies had awakened in the humbler class, and predicted a similar issue from the railway. The Chairman replied modestly, by saying that the thanks were due to, and not from the meeting, for the manner in which they had co operated with him. Before the meeting broke up, nearly 200 shares were subscribed. — MARKET INTELLIGENCE. TALLow.-(London, Monday.)-Our market is firm, and prices are rather higher than on Mon- day last. To-day P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted at 49s. 6d. per cwt. Rough fat is 28 8d. per 8 lbs OORN.-(London, Monday.)—Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but mo- derately supplied with wheat, for which the de- mand was far from active, at about stationary prices. All spring corn moved off steadily, at extreme rates. The flour trade was far from active. Throughout the Continent the fluctua- tions in the value of produce have been trifling. In the United States the price of both wheat and flour continue firm. The arrivals of home-grown produce, up to our market last week, were very moderate. From abroad we received 17,130 qrs. of wheat, 8,029 barley, 55,662 oats, 3,402 beans, 1,204 peas, 267 tares, 4,333 linseed, 2,090 rape. seed, 15 mustard seed, 3,150 Indian corn, 50 sacks and 1,065 barrels of flour. Fresh up to- day from Essex, Kent, Suffolk, &c., the arrivals of wheat coastwise and by land-carriage were on a very moderate scale, and- the general condition of the samples was by no means first-rate. Not- withstanding that the show of samples was not in excess of previous market days, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled very inactive. In the quotations, however, scarcely any change took place. There was an extensive show of nearly all kinds of foreign wheat. Millers shewed no disposition to operate hence the de- mand ruled heavy, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were mostly held at full quota- tions. The few samples of English barley in the market sold readily at very full prices. Inferior parcels commanded very little attention, yet the quotations were supported. Malt—the show of which was good—sold steadily, at late rates. Good sound oats were in fair request, and prices were well supported. Low and damp parcels sold slowly at barely late rates. Beans were in fair request at fully last week's currency. _We had a steady inquiry for peas, at full quotations. The flour trade was inactive, but no change took place in prices. RAILWAY TIME TABLES.
