THE TOWN HALL!
THE TOWN HALL! So Merthyr is to have a Town Hall at last! at least there is the strongest likefijiood of such a hoped for consummation. The TEXT epoch of Merthyr history promises to be\a. startling one many voids are to be filled, many waptte sup- plied water works are to bring a MENTIFUJ-FEUP- ply of pure water to every dwelling, an& aicTeon- siderably in lessening the bills of mortality, and increasing our happiness and comfort; a fire en- gine (when we get it) will preserve us from exten- sive conflagration a well drilled corps of volun- teers guard us from military dangers; a new Library stride up to the requirements of the town, and be the alma mater to an aspiring generation; and lastly, a Town Hall will supply a great de- sideratum in the social requirements of the town. The wonder is how Merthyr has existed so long without a Town Hall. There is scarcely a town where one may not be found; even an Indian village has its lodge, perched amid a group of wigwams and wherein sagams hold weighty coun- cils of peace or war, smoke thg calmut, and thus bury feuds; or adjourn outsiSe, thyow the hatchet, and thus declare for war. Bat TFE, with our population of 50,000 have been obliged to be content with a substitute for a Town Hall, a neu- tral building, aptly termed neither one thing nor the other, marked by an entrance so inconvenient that a vehicle could not turn at its doors large enough for a temperance demonstration, too small for others; large enough for a society lecture, and two small for a popular meeting. A building so cramped and confined as the liberality of the men who once had the government of its affairs, with a ventilation only suited to a small audience, and filled with uncomfortable benches that make a short stay only pleasant, and a long one unbear. able. So well are its capabilities and accommoda- tion now known that if one feels necessitated to attend a dry discourse there of a cold night it is with the idea that by the law of association re- miniscences of the Franklin expedition, the hardships endured, the bitter climate explored, will pass across the mind and if a popular one, foreshadowings will be received of As- Queen's levee, with a difference in the ODOUR^A panto- mime night, or a crush at the RAILWA^VFEAR in excursion time. Every season we 4pse^much healthy gratification by the want ol\a com- modious building, and would lose more tu, t-to r ] the kindness of our Dissenting congregations in 1 permitting a secular gathering now and then in their places of worship. R We hail then this promised Town Hall with pleasure, having no doubt but that if a suitable J site can be obtained, it will prove under the management of those gentlemen now engaged in the preparation of details, all that shareholders and inhabitants generally could wish. And we believe, that when the Library is installed in a portion of the building, other public offices in others, and its advantages fully shown to clubs | and benefit societies, that the moneyed and 1 influential of the place will heartily blame them- ] selves for past lethargy. This however must be gently done. Hitherto those ENGAGED in trade pro. fessions, and those dependent for incomes on F 0 their rents, enjoyed their tenure here, as it were, 1 on sufferance.

WEEKLY REVIEW.
WEEKLY REVIEW. IN a sbort time the American people will have an opportunity of beholding what the Britishers can do in the shipbuilding line, and we guess and calkilate" that they will not only feel" some," but be considera- bly chawed up with the spectacle. The Great Eastern has progressed so well in the last trial trip that .the directors at once de- cided on the still larger trip to New York, so in about ten days every accessible point in that city will be crowded with Americans, descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers, who, as they see the stately hull and lofty masts of this, our greatest triumph, on the waters, must feel the honest pride of being linked with the great father-land. L The Reform Bill of Lord John Russell is no more; the hoped for extension of the franchise to our honest intelligent working men has disappeared like a mirage in the de- sert, and before the astonished crowd still looms the vast desert track in stern silence, withholding all blessing, and all relief. This is not what the country expected. Th3 Times harps on the fact that as 16,000 men only petitioned for an extension of the suffrage, it was evident that the country was careleas about the bill and despised it. This is one of those indications which the Times often gives of entire unacquaintance with prac- tical life." They are book-read, well up in statistics, versed in blue book, railway book, know who's-who in Debrett, and can tell a sinecurist, a jobber, and a noble pen- sioner by instinct, but of the inward life of English society IN the provinces they are ignorant, otherwise.. an assertion such as this would never have been made. All the unenfranchised crave the blessing of the franchise; every intelligent working man, free from the trammels of drink and poverty desires to have a voice, no matter how feeble, in the affairs of the nation. We shall return to this subject again, con- tent now with expressing our honest regret that a Liberal Ministry so strong, apparently so united, and certainly aware of the re- quirements of the nation, should not have carried the Reform Bill earlier in the session, and that an opposition, composed of men famed for their wisdom and skill in debate, could have concocted and carried out a plan, cold and calculating as a scheme of poisoning, by which Lord John's bill has been brought to an untimely end. + LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. THE MEBTHYB LIBR.A.RY.- We need scarcely remind all the friends of this institution that if a Town Hall should be built, and ample room al- lotted to the Library, their support will be re- quired although the scheme for erecting an institute be merged with the the Town Hall pro- posal. A better time than the present has never dawned for the formation of a library worthy of the town. In its present place there is no room for the development of its peculiar advantages books, maps, instrunjehts, arc out of sight, and known only by a few-members and the librarian, and lecturers are often UNSOLICITED from the want of a commodious and cheap •room. THE GARDENS.—The coiitinufuiee of wet wea- ther is proving most disastrous to the gardens,and should there not be a speedy change we may fully expect a general failure of crops. In addi- tion to the rain, reports of a blight are prevalent, both here and in the country, Many of the leaves of gooseberry and currant trees are singed as if by heat, and the evil is not confined to these alone. These evil tidings coming so closely after the early and favourable pare of the season are most distressing, so much care and labour having been apparently thrown away. One of the Cefn prophets, however, bid his friends not to despair, and predicts that in a few days exceedingly hot weather will set in for a fortnight. GREAT WALKING-MATCH AOAINST TIME.—We understand that on this (Friday) afternoon, at five o'clock, a gentleman well krfown in the com- mercial circle, has engaged to walk a distance of five and a half miles within the hour, to start from the second mile stone on the Plymouth road. The gentleman who on this occasion will be the observed of all observers," has been re- garded, during all his "vicissitudes," as remar- kably fast;" and should he accomplish this feat of pedestrianism within the time prescribed, to the satisfaction of the umpire, we shall ever re- gard him as entitled to the honour due to a man who can point to the possession of any merit -even though it be of a class which many think of doubtful worth.— Communicated. THE SHIPLEV MEMORIAL*—A meeting of the subscribers to the fund raised for the relief of the widow and young children of the late Thomas Shipley, who, with his son Robert, was killed whilst descending the pit of the Cyfing Colliery, on the 24th of January last, was held at the Bush Hotel, Swansea, on Monday last, Mr. Joshua Richardson, O. E., of Neath, presiding. The Treasurer, Mr. Thomas Moody, of Clydach, re- ported that £118 17s. 3d. had been subscribed, of which 995 Is. had been received; that the expense incurred in printiirg, advertising, postage, &c., was E12 16s. lid.; and that there was an available balance of .6106 0s. 4d. to be devoted to the object for which the subscription was institu- ted. This statement was deemed very satisfactory and a hope was expressed that the fund might be further increased by additional donations, which are requested to be remitted to the Treasurer at the early convenience of those who may be desi- rous of aiding this benevolent object. On the motion of Messrs. J. G. Bigg, M. Moody, R. E. Fisher, Ord, and R. Fisher, resoluiions were unanimously passed to the effect that a tombstone not to exceed the cost of £ 6 be erected on the Shipleys' grave in the Neath cemetery and that MESSRS. C. G.

HOUSE OF REFUGE FOR SOUTH WALES AND MONMOUTHBHIRE. ? ve 'Leg to call our readers' attention to the ouowing appeal made by the Rector on behalf TINS institution. After referring to the reso- utions of a county meeting recently held at DIIDGAND, for the purpose of establishing a Jouse of Refuge for fallen Women in South IV alps and Monmouthshire, he ronxarkq that— Wherever these Institutions ■wave been tried, and placed on a right and proper basis, ii reasonable degree ,f success has everywhere attendeiMig/ejffort.
