FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 14, 1845. DEATH OF LORD STUART DE ROTHESAY.—This distinguished statesman died on the oth instant, at his seat, High Cliff, New Forest Hampshire, For some time past the noble lord's health had been on the decline. It was owing to this circumstance that he resigned the embassy to the Court of Russia, to which he was appointed in 1841. lie was formerly minister at the Hague, and as an acknowledgment of the diplomatic skill he displayed during the war with Napoleon that he received from the Prince Regent, in 1812, the Civil Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. Charles Stuart, Baron He Rothesay, was the son of Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir Charles Stuart. K.B., fourth son of John, the third Earl of Bute, by Mary his wife, only daughter of Edward Wortley Montagu, Esq., M.p. He was born in the Itle of Bute in 1779. In February, 1816, he married Elizabeth Margaret, third daughter of Philip, the third Earl of Hardwicke, and had issue, 1. Charlotte, who married on the 5th September, 1835, Charles John Viscount Canning; 2. Louisa, who married 8th June, 1842, Henry Marquis of Waterford. The noble de- ceased was raised to the peerage, for his great public services at various courts, in January, ls28. His lordship was a privy councillor, and (as stated) a Knight Grand Cross of the Bath. In all the relations of life he was most exemplary, and his kind- ness and liberality to all dependent upon him were proverbial. As he has left no m de issue the title is extinct. LLOPE.MI-.NT IN HIGH F^IF £ — Much surprise has been occasioned in Brighton by the disappearance of Lady Adela Corisanda Maria Villiers, youngest daughter of the Hail of Jersey. I he young lady is but seventeen years of age j she was missed at the dinner-table on Wednesday week; and on inquiry it was found, that instead of going to dress, she had gone down St. James Street "illl a Nothing, it was said in reply to the first inquiries, had betn heard of her at the Itailway station. The papers on Saturday morning add some further particulars, from an account furnished by a re- lative of the family—" Lady Adela was remaining with her tat her, the Earl of Jersey, at bast Lodge- the Countess of Jersey, accompanied by Lady Villiers and Prince and Princess Nicholas Estel hazy: having gone on Tuesday, the day previous to Lady Adclit s mysterious departure, to Arundel Castle, on a visit to the Duke ant Duchess of Nor- folk. At dusk, Lady Adela was in 'l'e drawiugroom with the Earl, and affectionately took leave ot [-is L-udship, to, as she stated, go to the nursery; but at the dinner-hour she was no. .where to be found. We are informed that, on inquiry, the Earl's family has been informed that a lady answering the description of the fair fugitive wall observed to leave by one of the railway-trains for London, under the protection of a tall gentleman; but that subsequently all traces of her course have been lost. -Immediately on the information reaching the Metropolis, the Honourable Captain Frederick Villiers left town express for Gretna Green. Up to a late hour Friday evening, not the remotest addition# 'nforumtion was gained Viscount Villiers arrived in town Friday afternoon from Upton House, his seat in Warwickshire. Nlo attendant has accompanied her Ladyship ant1, as as the family can learn, she had formed no attai nment in opposition to the views of her parents."—A latef account dated "Brighton Sunday" has the following /"exigence was received this morning by the Earl ot Jersey "om Captain Villiers, who went in pursuit of his sittc', 'hat she had been married to the companion of her flight at Gretna, and that the gentleman to whom she had been united is an othccr in the arnay. Soon after the flight of the fair runaway, every inquiry was made to ascertain, if possible, by whom she was accompanied and l .e result of the inquiry has been tiat ibe left her home with n officer of the army (Capt Ihbetson, of the 11th Hussars), who resided within a short distance of Ea*t Lodge, whp-re the I;:arl and Couutess of Jersey and family are staving For about a fortnight before the dillaopearance of l.adv Villiers he was not seen in Bri¡1,htnD, having been engaged elsewhere withollt doubt, making arrangements for the elopement; bu; on the day the lady left her home he was seen in Brighton, and identified in the train by a gentleman who knew him well, and who recollects seeing a lady by his side closely veiled. Circumstances tend to utitblish the flict tbat Capt, Ibhetson was the companion of her flight. The Earl of Jersey received a letter on Saturday from Carlisle, bearing no sig- nature, but informing him of his daughter's arrival ill thst town; and from circumstances which have since transpired it app ars that tile journey to Gretna WBg rapidly performed, and that the plans were well matured, for Capt. Ibbetson was married to Lady Villiers within 20 hours afler they lefl Brighton. The captain, it appears, has gOl lpave of absence ¡j¡¡ the 14th in5t3nt, when he is expected to j dn his re iment which is now in J reland, The Earl and Countess of Jersey baving satisfied themselves of the result of their daughter's flight intend to quit Brighton to-morrow, accompanied by the Prince and Princess Nicholas Esterhazv. The elopement hall excired a peat deal of interest in Brighton. Lord Jersey wrote to the commander-in-Chief relative to Captain I bbptson's charafcer and connexious; and on Sunday his Lordship recei- ved a letter from his Grace, containing sattsfactory iaforma,ion on both points. Captain Ibbetson is said to oe 26. It is singular fact that the maternal grandmother of L-ady Adela Villiers also eloped with her husband, the late Earl of West- moreland, in the spring of 1782. Mr. Child, the opulent banker, father of the lady, pursued the fugitives on that occasion,, and was on tbe point of overtaking their carriage, when l.ord Westmoreland, from the windows of his post-chaise shor one of Mr, Child's horses, aod in the confusion arising from the fall of the horse pushed ou, and was muried to the lady at Gretna before her fathcr rpached that place.

BRUTAL AND VIOLENT c\SSA(1LT.-On ThllBdav aftprnoon last, as George Butler, an itiiu-rani millwright, was passing On his way through one 01 our SI reets, he was accostcd bv a drunken seaman, who asked him, Which is the way to the barracks, eh ?" Butler, we understand, gave him most civilly the desired information npon wlllch the drunkard •' You are a d-n Itar;" and actually, without any thin* fur- ther passmg between the parties, he (Iho drunkard) stmek Butler to Ihe grouud with a slick, causing him (Butler) thereby to receive a very ddngerolls cOlnpollud fracture of the leg, besides a few coni u;liollS, The poor fellow was immp- dlately conveyed to the infirmary, and most pmmptly attended by Mr. James LewIs, who, assisted by Mr. Russell, d,d every thing hu unfortunate cOrllhuoo required. Butler, it is saId, fought for the present Q ieen of Spain in the famous Spanish Legion. His brutal assailanl was secured by P S. Aubrey and P.C. Uavies anú is now in custody to await his exanr- nation before the magistrates. It is most probahle that he will set up all one of his pleas that c mtnon and hackneyed one of 80ts-" I wasdrnnk when 1 did it but we hope he wiil have cause to remember that men who commit ,ouch unwarrantable acts of violence when drunk, must answer for their conduct when sober, as drunkenness tends in every po nt of view to aggravate rather than to palliate the commission ot offence?. THE LATE DEAN OF LLANDAFF.—A paragraph, full of mis- takes, as to the will of the late Dean of Llandaff, (which ha, bean copied into the Cambrian of last week). has been for some time running the round of the papers. Most of the parties arc misnamed; and the Dean himself, who died (alas for this county amI diocese !) at the age of 59, is there described in his 8Uth year BANKRUPTCY COURT BRISTOL.—Re Jolm Wood, of Cardiff, banker.—We observe, bv an advertisement in another pad of ollr paper, that a second dividend has been declared npon thi, estate. Thr bankruptcy took place in 1822, and in November, 18'24, a dividend of 6s. in the pound was paid. From that time to the opening of the present Court of Bank.. ruptcy, nothing whatever was done in the estate. Upon the fiat being retllmed to this Court in the usual way, a new Solicitor (Vfr. Dalton, of Cardiff) was appointed, and the result of his nntiring exertions, and the operations of rhe nwa Bankruptcy Law is, that" further dividend of 4s. in the pound has been declared. For the accommodation of creditors, R G. S, Tuckett, Esq., Registrar, has received a special order from the Court ot Iteview to attend and direct the payment to all parties producing the notes proved, lIpOl1 being satisfied that the parties claiming are entitled to bc paid IIlIch diviilend aud also on proofs in which the notes or securities have been lost or destroyed, whieli is likely to be the case in very many instances at so distant a period from the failure.— Bristol Mirror.

I NSOL\'ENTS' COURT, CARDIFF.—MONDAY. — [Heard before :\1r. Commissioner Harries.)-John Parry, collier, of Aberkenfi^, near Bridgend, was examined. His principal creditors were the Monmouth and Glamorgan Bank, Bridgend, Mr John Thomas, shopkeeper, late of Aberkenfif, hut now of Dowdais, or the neighbourhood of Merihyr and Mr. Lewis. brewer, Bridgend, Insolvent rlepose<1that some time ago his goods were sold IInder an execution by Mr. Thomas EVAns, hut (he insol vetlt) had (levu been aule 10 get any account wharever of tbe sale, He thell stated that he was a collier- that he kept a small beer-house—thai he had engaged in huilding a small house for himself-that \1r. Haynes, agent of tllA Monmouth and Glamorgan Bank, Bridgend, hao advanced him £ IS-that h. had contracted a debt for shop goorls at Mr. Thomas's, wldch amounted, he understood, III upwards of £ 50—and that he owed M r. Lewis a con- sidprahle sum fur beer. Insolvdlt thonght Mr. I hOlllas s bill might have amounted 10 nearly £ 30—certainly not to £ 50. Ht, never had a bill or any acro-int from Vlr. Thomas. There was a book between Thomas and insolvent. That book was lost; as the bailiffs when they seized 111'1 goods turned every thing '• topsy-tl¡rvy." He never s01J goods himself. He could earn 10s. a week by woiking. He wu put ID pilson J'lly 2nd and had beel. since lhat time muntalned by the county. Ihe learned commissioner after putting a great many questions to wimess, which were answered widwut the slightest reserve or hesitation, said— 1 think this man has been rnosi scandalously used by the bank and by Mr. John I bomas. I wish they were here, as I would then lay on a great deal more than I am disposed to do in their absence. Their treatmen of this poor man bas been grossly oppressive from beginning to end, Is Mr. nees Jenkins, [lIuhcltor J of Bridgend here ? [Upon being told that he wa. not, and that the creditors were not represented in court the learnell COlllnllSSloner said] — I would have been glad to have seen. the Dank represented by somebody. Mr. Lewis, brewer, IS appointed assignee. Let him look into this matter. This man's house leIs for £ 10 a year. Let Mr. Lewis see what utle the present holders 01 the house have." The insolvent was discharged. In repl) to tbe learned commissioner the IDsolvent said he had main- tained a nllmerolls family without ever ha\inlt had recourse to palecùial assistauce, aud was now 64 years old" Th. learned comlllissioner also expressed a wish, (.e believe), that his observations should go forth to (he public. He was glad there was a public reporter in the court, as reports of all proceedings which affectcd the public should be published in all cate., a8 much good was thereby effected,— Willi(Jm Bassett, pf Hafod Ganol, in the parish of Danwonno, was next heard. He was supported bv Mr. Henry M irgan and 'he interests of the principal creditor (Mr Walter Morgan, Merthyr) were represented by Mr. Lang!ey. This case was in many respects most singular, and elicited some comments trom the learned commissi >n r, who towards the cnncJluicllJ said—" The two cases heard this day were most extraordinary. Ihe first heard showed that some of the creditors had been cruelly oppressive, while in the one before the c.,urt, Mr. Walter Morgan's conduct was certainly most honourable in every respect, evincing the utmost good feeling on his part, and the court had therefore unmixed satisfaction in naming him assignee."

A GOOD HI NT.—One of the consequences of the prospectus mania is making its appearance in the police courts, and pro- visional directors are already beginning to find out the extent of their liabilities. It appears that the advertising agents have been giving credit to many of the new prospectus companies for the amount of the costs of advertising. It further appeais, that notwithstanding the deposits of such companies as have any claim to respectability must have been paid in at the bankers long ago, the said advertising agents find that the amounts of their little bills are not forthcoming; some of the agents have accordingly been driven into taking measures to get paid, and the results may be seen in the police reports. Shareholders will do well to notice whether the undertakings in which they have embarked are in the list of those who have been obliged to use the credit of the unfor- tunate advertis ng agents for the purpose of raising the small capital required 10 bring out a prospectus. If they find iheii comuany deiatilters in this initiatory measure they^may readily anticipate the fate, of their deposits. LAUGHABLE BLUNDER IN A WORK NAMED "CURIOSITIES OF ENGLAND AND WALES. By THOMAS DUGDALE. L. Tallis, Loudon."—This is a work published in volumes, quarterly, and suld to subscribers Of works of this class, correctness should be the chief feature but on turning to the article Caerleon," we were amused lit first, but afterwards felt somewhat indigaant at discovering the following blunùer :-Speaking of the woman who some years agv fell into tlie river Usk with a fragment of Caerleoon bridge, the writer says she was" borne on a fragment of it (the bridge) out at the mouth of the Usk into the Severn, and from thence up the river Wye as far liS Newport." lC this is to be taken as II. spedmen of the work our readers may judge huw far it i3 to be depended upon, The writer evidently knows not11ill1; of this locality, or he never would have described New- port as being on the Wye, when in fact it is on the same river as Caerleon-the Usk.

MERTHYR AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. EXTRAORDINARY CASK OF FORGERY AT MKRTIIYR-TYDVIL.— During the week the inhabitants of this populous town and neighbourhood have been thrown into a state of some consider- able excitement by the discovery that the sum of £240 had been raised from the Brecon Old Bank by means of a forged cheque, and that the person charged with having committed the offence (a female) had been taken into custody, On Wednesday morning, on proceeding by the station-house and the Angel Inn, where the magistrates hold their meetings, we found immense crowds of men, women, and children assembled, who were watching for the appearance of the supposed offender, as it was understood she W.1S to ùe taken for examination before the ma- gistrates. However, in this the crowd was disappointed, as the party charged with the offence was declared by a medical gen- tleman to be too ill to undergo examination that morning. Our curiosity having been roused by witnessing the excitement of the people, we made enquiries as to the nature of the offence, &c. &e., and were ultimately successful in gleaning from various sources the following particulars, which we believe are, upon the whole, correct: -h:JUt five weeks ago a young man, appa- rently in extreme ill-health, called at the Arms public-house. Merthyr-Tydvil, kept by Mr. Richard Williams, to enquire where Mr. Harman (a highly-respectable inhabitant) resided. The servant who answered the young man" gave the required information, but immediately added to her fellow-servant, Dear me, did you ever see anv body !l0 like Mary Williams, the 1/iss of as this young manl" The fellow-servant, who was thus appealed to, said, He is the very image of hev." The young man, however, proeeedeod to the residence of ;\1: Harman, but, npon bearing that he was not at home, desired to see Mrs. Harman, who shortly afterwards made her appearance and as the young man" seemed very un Wl'1\ -was tolerably well dressed, and in appearance some- thing like a Minister of the Gospel, Mrs. Harman asked him in. Ile enlereJ the house-sat down-anù then stated, that having come to Merthyr for change of air, he had been desired by Mr. Morgan Thomas, of Vnisgoy, to procure from the Brecon Old Bank the sum of £2!O, He had been to the Bank, he said, but th" cierk had refused to let him have the money as there was something irregular in the cheque, or written authority, which he had with him, and therefore it was necessary that he should be accompanied by some respectable person who knew him, and who was also known at the Bank. In this dilemma, the "young who was also known at tht) Hank. In this dilemma, the "young man" said he suddenly recollected that he had often heard Mr. Morgan Thomas say that Mr. Harman was his particular friend; I and, therefore, as the money was required instantly, he (the I "young man") had taken the liberty of calling to ask Mr. Il.1rman if he would accompany him to the Bank. it is saitl that upon hearing the "young man's" story, Mrs. Harman was quite I indignant that the money had not been instantly paid by the derk at the Bank, and (actuated by that generous feeling whieh impels women to render assistance to any person in distress) instantly determined to accompany the young man" herself. She did SJ. Upon arriving at the Bauk she was told by Mr. Richards, (the clerk), that the authority produced by the interesting young fellow from Mr. Thomas was not quite regular but that if Mrs Harman would, on her husband s behalf, sign the cheque, the amount should be forthwith paid to the person whom she had accompanied to the Rlllk. Mr. Evans, the manager of the Bank, entered at this particular juncture, and having heard the decision of Mr. I{ichar,ls, entirely concurred in it. Mrs. Hannan signed the cheque as required, and the "young man'" (whose illness at this time became distressing!) received the £2.1.0, and placed it safely in his trousers' pocket. He did not seem to like notes much, and therefore a considerable portion of the amount was paid in gold. And now," 8;J.id Mr. Evans, "as [ have never had the pleasure of seeing you here before, Mrs. Harman, do step in and bring your young friend with you." The party proceeded to the parlour, and partook of refreshments but the young man" (poor tellow !) could only take half a glass of wine, and expressed a desire to return home. Accjrdingly, M-s. lIar- man left with him in a few moments but as he appeared so delicate, very kindly took him home and made him a nice com- fortable cup of tea, of which he partook but sparingly. How- ever, to gin and water after tea he paid more attention, declaring that it done him good" [Poor }'oung man !] lie then de- clared it was time to go to the railway station; hut as he was so delicate*' he yieMed to Mrs. Harmm's hospitable solicita- tions, anil took "one glass of gin and water more," Mrs, Ibr- man then placed his £.UO in a si'k handkerchief safely—accom- panied him to the station house—and when he (the "young man ') expressed a wish to go into a second-class carriage, she (Mrs. Harman) declared emphatically he should do nothing of the kind, it would be enough to give him his death, &c., &c., and insisted upon his going into a first-class carriage, at the same time charging the guard to be attentive to him. To this charge a bystander added respecting the object of Mrs. Har- Iman's amiable solicitude: .t Mae e'n cdrych yn dost iawn, druan. Bydd e ddim yn hir." He was booked for Pentyrch, near Cardiff, but upon the arrival of the train at Troedyrhiw, only three miles from Merthyr, he tapped the window of the carriage and desired the guard to open the door as he was too ill to proceed. The guard heard him, opened the door, and the young rnan stepped out, and (as John Bunyan says) went on his way rejoicing." "Blow me," exclaimed the brakesman if that ere fellow haven't got a voice like a 'ooman." I tell you what it is, said the guard there's something very queer about him. Three miles back he came in scarcely able to move, assisted by women as if he was not going to live five minutes, and now look how he walks-there's a pace for you." Some weeks after the young man had so strongly excited the sympathies of certain kind-hearted folks at Merthyr, Mr. Mor- gan Thomas went to Merthyr from Vnisgoy, proceeded to the bank, and having transacted his business was asked by the clerk. if they had not better put that JE240 straight." What £ 240 ?" said Mr. Thomas. "Why," replied the clerk; "the £2-10 we paid to a sickly young man who appeared like a preacher, and who was accompanied by Mrs. Harman." Of course this produced an explanation; Mr. Thomas declared he had never authorized any "'preacher to draw money for him and instantly proceeded to the residence of Mrs. Harman. A variety of circumstances induced Mr. Thomas to suspect that one Mary Williams, a married woman, but who had transferred her affections from her liege lord to a. dignitary of the Order of Odd Fellowship, was the party who had personified the delicate, interesting, and amiable young man; and in this suspicion he was cOIlQrmed when he was informed that the party referred to had deposited at a bank in Merthyr the sum of £ 120 in the notes of the Brecon Olù Bank, She was accordingly taken up and lodged in the station-house, where she now remains. She is. we are infor- med, the owner of several houses, and has, at one timo, moved in a respectable sphere. At the police court on Wednesday, Mr. Smith, clerk to Mr. Wm. Davies, solicitor, applied for a \V.1rrant to search the house and premises of Mr. Marsden, as it was supposed that the coat which the prisoner wore when at the bank would be found there. The magistrates did not grant the warrant, but requested Superintendent Herner to call at Mr. Marsden's, and to ask him to allow the coat, or any coat which might be pointed out, to be produced, in order to further the ends of justice. Superintendent Hemer went to Mr. Marsden's house—saw Mrs. Marsden—delivered to her the message with which he was charged; but Mrs. Marsden said that no coat had been taken out of their house in any irregular manner, and positively refused to allow Mr. Hemer to see or take any coat with him. Tbe party (Mary Williams) who is suspected of having forged Mr. Thomas's name will be brought up for exami- nation on Saturday. Our next number will contain the fullest particulars of the evidence taken. We shall also be most happy to correct any inaccuracies which this hastily written and im- perfect sketch may be found to contain, which, as we before stated, contabs only accounts gathered by UI in conversa- tion with different parties. MERTHYR POLICE, WEDNESDAY. —Sarah Hudson, was charged with having assaulted Sarah Webber. After a natieut investigation, the magistrates, Mr. Hill and Mr. I homis, dismissed the case, as the" assault" seemed to have been a regular mill between the parties, who however were pretty tit )c rustics, and ought to be ashamed of conducting themselves so very improperly as to cuff, punch, and scratch eacii other before all the workmen in Cyfarthfa Mill.—— Gcorye Evans, master butcher, was adjudged to be the father of Anne Lynden's illegitimate child, and to pay the sum of Is. 6d. per week towards its maintenance until it shouid either attain the age of 13 years, die, or until the mother should get married. John Burnett was charged with being the father of Mary Williams's illegitimate child. The mother swore positively enough but as it was proved that she kept company, as it was termed, with two others, the magistr«t«s dismissed the case, as they saw no reason why poor Jo n Burnett should be taxed with the infant's suppo.'t any more than Mary's other companions,as he (Hurnett)by iheevi cnce, was only seen walftingjtiih her; and two others were a so seen walking with her as well.

WirXHiU'THSiriltR. NKWP >RT.—The GEN-ral half-yearly mee ing of the. nro- prieto-s of the Dock Co., was held on \Vednesdav, S'h inst.. at the company's H. J. ISlewitt, Esq., M P., in the chair. The m-etin^ was very numerously attended and was of rather a stormy character. :\1 r. l'ri.thero tiersis'ed in putting questions 10 the secretary, of a very tick uh rharactcr, to the evident annoyance of the directors. It was elicited during the discussi >n, that the directors had disregarded the order of the last general meeting, and had acted io tiuect Jp- position thereto. This brought out sotnc rat her severe remarks from n. Blakemire, Esq., M P., an H. Pli Hip;, Ksq. A sore subject with the directors, which Mr. Prothero persisted in probing to the bottom, was in reference to a warehouse re- cently put up at a heavy expense, which it appeared had been carried on without any plan or estimate.
