CARDIFF POLICE—Most DAY. [Before R. Lewis Reece, Esq., Mayor, and J. Lewis. Esq.] STEALING A WATCH.— John Smith, was charged by P.C. Murray, with haviug stolen a watch, the property of Mr. Divid Divies, mate of the Martha, of Gloucester. On Saturday morning, at about two o'clock, Mr. Davies told Murray that he had lost his watch, and gave a description of it, and of prisoner's person to him as he (prisoner) was suspected of having stolen it from the vessel. In about an hour afterwards Murray met the prisoner, saw a watch (which was produced) with him. and instantly perceived that it corresponded in several particulars with the descrip- tion given to him by Mr. D ivies. Prisoner and the watch were detained. This morning, Murray stated the above particulars to the magistrates and also s'lid that Mr. Defies had seen and identified the watch. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday, as Mr. Davies had left on Saturday, in his vessel for Gloucester, and was expected b'icli to Cardiff, on Tuesday or Wednesday. OBSTRUCTING TIIK PAVEMENT—Superintendent Stock- dale said that Wi limn Evans, painter, was charged with having obstructed the pavement in Duke-street. Last Monday, in consequence of several foot-races haviug been appointed^ take place, the pavement and carriage-way in Duke-street were obstructed for several hours by crowds of people. The defendant was present, and refused to move when required to do so. P.C. Murray took hold of him to more him away, upon which he repeatedly attempted to as- sault the policeman. A mob was assembled who became so violent that Mr. Grierson was, in consequence, obliged to shut his shop.—P.C. Murray said—Last Monday, I was on duty in Duke-street, at about half-past seven in the evening. There were several persons standing on the pavement, and this man was sitting on the window-sill of Mr. John Thomas's spirit-shop. I asked him to move as he was obstructing the pavement: he refused to do so. There was not sufficient room for persons to pass him without going off the pavement. — Cross-examined:— The way I asked you to move was, Get up from the window, as you are obstructing the pavement." I asked you hl a proper manner. The streets were crowded, and it was rather more than we could do to keep the pave- ment clear. Ihe defendant said there were only two people on the pavement at the time. He moved instantly as soon as he was a-ked to move.—Mr. Lewis and Superintendent Stockdale Siid there were hundreds there.—P.C. Clarke fully corroborated the evidence given by P.C Murray.—The defendant said that Murray had threatened to kick him but the policeman denied it.—Superintendent Stockdale gave the defendant a good character for general respectabi- lity. Fined 5s. and costs. The magistrates commented in severe terms upon the conduct of idle fellows who make a practice of lurking about the corners of Duke-street, Saint Mary-street, and other parts of the town, much to the an- noyance and discomfort of passengers. ASSAULT.— Thomas Elliott, manufacturer of ginger-beer and lenioiiade, was cbarlted witl1 having assaulted Mr. C. S. Twi.™, landlord of the Black Lion Ion, who said—On Thursday uight last, fit ten o'clock, I was in the parlour with my friends, in my own house. I came out, and saw in the bar this person, Thomas Elliott, and another person. named Denham, drinking a glass of beer each. I returned to the parlour; and soon afterwards 1 heard a noise in the bar. [ Ctme out. and saw Giliott insulting my wife He had a bottle of ginger-beer in his hand and he was running down the article. He is a manufacturer of ginger-beer himself. He said my ginger-beer was always muddy. I asked him and Denham to walk out. He began talking to me about something, and in reply to an observation of his, I said, raising my finger—" That's a lie for this reason." I turned my head aside for a moment, my attention having been attracted in another direction, and received a severe blow from Elliott on the side of my face. It hurt me very much. Before I could recover myself he was gone—be bolted down the passage. He wis not quite sober.—Cross- examined I put my hand on your back to push you a little when 1 desired you to leave.—Defendant: Yes, you did; and by calling me a liar, you irritated me —William Wadley said that he saw defendant strike complainant.— Defendant said he was quite sober, and was very much irritated by having been called a liar.—Fined 2s. 6d. and costs. Paid. CONTRADICTORY EVIDENCE— Elizabeth Matthews, married woman, residing on the canal bank, was charged with having assaulted Anne Nicholas, a young woman, who said that this (Monday) morning the defendant had knocked her down, pulled her hair, and torn her bonnet, without receiving the slightest provocation. Not a word had been spoken on either side—Elizabeth Davies, complainant's sister, corroborated this strange statement.—William Troy, a sort of amphibious creature, said he saw some woman pull complainant down.—For the defence, Phoebe Edmunds, married woman, was called. She said—About eight o'clock this morning I heard Anne Nicholas call Elizabeth Matthews a w- three times. She was clapping her bands at the time. Mrs. filatthews was then in bed. After she had got up, and whwfl she was by her own door, Anne Nicholas and her sister dragged her by the hair of her head. Her husband ran out and separated them. He did no more. I was there before a blow was struck on either side. I have never had an angry word with complainant or her sister. Case dismissed. IUBNISO THE TABLES.—A youngster named M'Cleod complained against his master, Mr. Yorath, alleging that he ha.1 been ill-treated, and requiring that the magistrates would order Mr. Yorath, cooper, to give up his indentures. The magistrates asked the young man, or rather a person whom he had brought with him to conduct his case, to show them that they could legally comply with the request made, upon which their attention was directed to a certain section in a certain Act of Parliament; but it appeared to us, from the remarks which the magistrates made upon it, that a section of the instructive and entertaining history of Tom Thumb would have been quite as much to the purpose. The magistrates told M Cleod that they could not interfere; and gave him some very good advice. Mr. Yorath was then heard; aud from his statement, corroborated as it was by his general respectability as a tradesman, it appeared that M'Cleod had been very inattentive to his duties, and that he had been treated with much consideration. In fact, the Mayor said that Mr. Yorath had not acted properly towards the young man. or his parents, in not having taken legal proceedings against him long ago, and compelled him to attend to his trade. Ultimately an amicable arrangement was effected between the parties, and M'Cleod promised to return to his duties and to discharge them faithfully. John Maguire, a deserter from the 15th Foot, was brought up, and ordered to be removed to the County Gaol, there to await orders from head quarters. Thomas Probett, master of the Bucks, of Bristol, was charged with haying, while druuk, violently assaulted two unfortunate females in Wbitmore-lane; but, as he appeared penitent, the magistrates allowed him to compromise the matter out of court. Mr. John Bird, solicitor, informed the magistrates that the commissioners ot her Majesty's Board of Customs had re- duced the penalty of £100, payable by John Burke, master of the barque Recovery, to £ 10,—the sum of JMO having been returned. ibe flue Wall incurred in consequence of the tide surveyor of this port having detected a quantity of tobacco on board the Recovery, which had not been reporte I and which was concealed. Mr. Birdthanke.) the magistrates, who had memorialized the board for a partial remission of the penalty, on behalf of Mr. Burke. ru ESDA Y.- [B..fore the Mayor.] Mary Jo/les, of Stauley-street, was charged with stealing one iron coupling chain from the Taff Vale Railway Com- pany's wharf 011 the Bute Docks. Joshua Haiines, the watchman on the docks, stopped the prisoner, and found the chain in her apron. Discharged William Stephens, a gis-fitter, was charged with stealing a quantttyof apples froni the garden uf Mr. Hamlin, nt the ian-yard. Ine prisoner was seen, about ten o'clock on Moudiy night last, m company with another who made his escape, stea ing the apples from the trees.

Lewis Reece, Esq., Mayor, IT and Henry Lewis. Esq.J Joseph Had, ol Wonianby-street, tkinner, appeared to answer a complaint for permitting a number of agricultural implements to remain on the carriage way and footway for show and sale, thereby causing ji great obstruction in the streets particularly on Saturday, September 2nd. Fined, iucluding costs, 13s.. i'aij. The Bench observed that they hoped the obstruction would be discontinued. Nothing whatever must be placed in the streets. AN UNNATURAL BHUTE. — Benjamin Jones, shoemaker, a young tellow, was charged with having repeatedly beaten his mother, Mrs. Anue Lewis, Trinity-street, Cardiff. Com- plainant said, that on Friday last her son having missed his beel-ball, taxed her and his sister with having taken it. They denied It; upon which he became madly furious— threw the hammer at his little sister—put a chair on the fire—hurled various articles at his mother,and among other things a lap-stone weighing l4Alt>s. He has repeatedly kicked his mother, and beaten her till (as she said) she was "all black and blue." He struck her ou Monday last. He is nineteen years of age. Upon Friday last, when he was guilty of the outrageous violence above described, all his mother did was to remonstrate with him. His mother gave him a good suit of black clothes when his father died but he pawned them for tea shillings.—The magistrates se- verely reprimanded him—fined him in the penalty of 40s. and costs; aud in default of payment to be imprisoned for one month. The magistrates said that in prison he would have an oppottunity of reflecting upon his conduct, as he would have to go to bed at six o'clock every evening in his lolitary cell. Anne Moss, an unfortunate girl, a native of Swansea, and John Morris, a youn;;t man-who tfves with her, were charged with having been liotous in Saint Mary-stieet at a late hour on Tuesday night. PC. Rollins said that Moss was drunk. She was told by the magistrates that if she did not leave the borough within twenty-four hourd she would be com- mitted lor one month to hard labour.—Morris, who at- tempted to rescue Moss, was severely reprimanded, and the charge against him was adjourned for a week on account of his father, who is a respectable man. SrREET FIGHTING.—George Smith (a one-armed man) was chaiged with having beeu fighting iu Mary Anne-street at an early hour on luesday evening. P.C. Murray said that on the evening named he went to Mary Anne-street, and found the prisoner stripped and lighting with a man named Richards, who absconded.—For the defence Edward Rees was called. He said that defeudant had been chal- lenged—that the woman with whom he lives had been beateu, aud ultimately a fight ensued.—It was stated to the magistrates that the defeudant is a "bully" to a woman of ill-fame, that he has a wooden arm which he fastens on at night, and does great execution in a brawl-follows the woman about as she wanders in the outskirts of the town, and is at hand to rush on and assist her iu perpetrating any nefarious practice which she may engage in. Fiued 2Us. and 9s. costs. A-lowed a short time to pay. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—George Goold was charged with hating severely wounded Jeremiah Macattyon Wednesday night, under the following circumstances:—Mrs. Jane Kent said that Goold and another man came into her house-the Ship and Pilot—called for beer, which she refused to draw, as she considered that they had had sufficient before they entered her houie. Iu the course of some time they left her premises—high words ensued between Goold and Mac- arty. A struggle ensued on the btreet, duiiug which Macarty was struck. Goold had a jtii^ can hanging on one of his wrists wheu he struck Macarty but Mrs. Kent said she did not see him give the blow with the arm ou which the can hung. As soon as the blow was given, Macarty fell, and remained senseless on the ground "in a pool of blood" until he was raised.—A surgeon s certificate was put in, from which it appeared that Maoarty's life is in danger. Goold was re manded.—It was stated that the meu had beeu sup- plied with beer at the Ship and Pilot; and that ther" could bp 110 doubt but that Goold had uged his tin can in assault- ing Macarty.—Mrs. Kent said that she did not see the can used. The men had had a quart of porter at her house, but they did not drink it all. STEALING A WATCH.—John Smith was committed for trial at the ensuing Quarter Sessions, charged with haviug stolen a watch from David Davies, mate of the Martha, of Glo'ster.

MERTHYR AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. ROBBHRY.-In the early part of this week some one broke into a house pertaining to Mr. Miller's brewery at Pontycapel, Cefucoedycymmer, and abstracted therefrom a sum of money. BREACH OF HOSPITA.LITY.-Some "navi-ies" engaged on the Aberdare tunnel were kindly allowed to sleep on the hay-loft of Pantygerdineu farm, but thought proper to requite the kindness by borrowing, without leave, sundry articles of wearing apparel. The parties are in custody. A MONSTER MUSHROOM.—Mr. Edward Evans lately found on Gellyfaelog farm, near Uowlais, a mushroom of the following gigantic proportions. It weighed one pound seven ounces, was twenty-five inches and a half in circumference, and ate inostdeliciously. The stalk alone was five inches in circumference. TIIE EVILS OF WAR.—An old soldier has been de- livering two lectures on the Horrors of War" in the course of this week, at the Temperance-room, Glebeland. He is not distinguished for his elocution but those who had congregated to hear him pardoned the imperfections of his delivery for the sake of the great cause of which he was an advocate. He is worth hearing. We live in an age of sweeping reforms; and through the strenuous efforts of public companies and private in- dividuals, lasting good has been effected. Still much remains to be done and though last not least, public health engages attention. We fear the approach of mal- ignant diseases—cholera with its dire effects appal us— but let us look at home. Have we not many neglected spots and nuisances which are allowed to exist and to spread tainted air over a whole town 1 Such a state of things ought not to be tolerated and we certainly think that the inhabitants of Wellington-street and the neigh- bourhood ought to be freed from the nuisance of slaughter- houses, from which, as all persons are aware, proceed such offensive smells; and as the nature of the lease 011 which the property is built forbids public houses and slaughter-houses being opened, the health of the ueigh. bourhood ought to be consulted, and the adjoining pro- perty protected by the speedy removal of a nuisance already too long endured. CRICKET.—A Merthyr correspondent has sent us a very able and complete account of some matches which were played on Thursday week, in a field at the back of the Bush Inn, by the Merthyr club but as it would oc- cupy more space than we can at present spare, and as the matches do not possess any features of general public interest, we put the letter aside. If it had been a match betwen the married and the single members of the club, or between that club and anotheT, the affair would then possess some general interest, and we would gladly have inserted the account which has been so kiudly sent to us. Memorandum, for the benefit of the inexperienced.:—In all matches between married" and single," if you aie inclined to bet and are anxious to win, be sure to back the married the single" have no chance with them and it serves them quite right. MAIL-ACCIDENT.—Ou Sunday morning last as the Bristol mail was proceeding from the Mackworth Arms stable to the Coach office, Swansea, in charge of one of the ostlers, when near the lower part of Wind-street, the horses became restive, and set off at a furious rate, the driver, Daniel Thomas, being unable to control them. When opposite Mr. Bounett's, the tobacconist's shop, the coach came in contact with the curb-stoue, by which the unfortunate man who had it in charge was precipitated from the driving-box, and hurled with violence on the pavement. The horses then turned and darted across to the other side of the street, where they again got on the pavement, opposite to Mr. Tyte's shop. Lucki y the Uaders came down, which afforded the parties who liau repaired from the coach office for the purpose of rendering assistance, all opportunity of arresting their futher pro- giess. Neither the coach nor horses sustained any injury. The ostler, Thomas, however, was not so for- tunate, having sustained besides several severe bruises, a fracture of one of his arms in two places.

M O N M O U T USUI It H. \r- ABERGAVENNY.—OPENING OF THE NEW CHAPEL OF EASE, AT GOVILON—It becomes our pleasing duty to record this interesting ceremony, which took place on Friday, the 8th instant. The parish Church of Llan- wenarth, in which parish the new Chapel is situated, is separated by the river Usk from the most populous por- tion of the parish, rendering the access to the Church of those living on the other side of the river at all times dif- ficult, and often, indeed, impracticable. This has been deeply felt by many of the inhabitants, and the more so as the population, from its proximity to the iron works, was rapidly increasing, thereby threatening to become, what too many portions of the manufacturing districts have become, strongholds of vice and disaffection. The Chapel is an extremely neat structure, and reflects the greatest credit on bo;li architect and builder. It is pret- tily situated on an eminence above the village of Govilon, and built on a piece of ground given for the purpose by James Homfray, Esq of Clifton. At an early hour the villagers gave signs that something more than ordinary was to take place among them, and the many visitors that arrived from Abergavenny, Crickhowell, Blaenavon, and the surrounding neighbourhood, together with the sound of the Chapel bell—a sound heretofore unknown in the valley, gave the scene much importance and interest. The service was performed in the morning by the Rev. George W. Gabb, the rector of the parish, and the ser- mon preached by The Venerable Archdeacon Crawley, whose discourse, we need scarcely add, was of a most ap- propriate character, and listened to with intense interest many, who were not fortunate enough to obtain admit- tance, flocked around the doors and windows of the building. Amongst the company present we noticed- The Archdeacons of Llandaff and Monmouth, Rev. G. W. Gabb, Rev. T. Williams, Rev. D. Rees, Rev. F. Steel, Rev. J. C. Campbell—Merthyr, Rev. Mr. Jenkins Llanfoist, Rev. T. Davies, Rev. T. Morgan — Llandilo, Rev. S. Charles Lewis—Ebbw Vale, Rev. n. J. Clarke Rev. W. F. Gray, ltjv. J. Hughes—Llanelly, Rev. T. Lewis, Rev. O. Phillips, Rev. J. J ones-Blaenavon, Rev. R. W. P. Davies, William Williams, Esq.—Aber- baiden, Thomas Oratrex, Esq. — Monmouth, Philip Williams, Esq. — Llanwenarth House, James Homfray Esq.-Clifton, Jas. Hill, Esq., R. Johnson, Esq., J. Powell, Esq.—Brecon, Lancelot Powell, Esq.—Llanelly R. Wheeley,Esq.—Pentre, Captn. Walbridge, Major Law- rence, ——— Maund, Esq., J. Jayne, Esq. -—— Hughes, Esq., Daniel Davies, Esq., F. Batt, Esq., W. Morgan' Esq.-The Hill, W. Batt, Esq., —— West, Esq.-Crick- howell, Christopher Gabb, Esq., C. Lloyd, Esq., P. A. Williams, Esq., &c., &c. We are informed that the cost of erection is about £ 1,200, most of which has been al- ready collected in the vicinity and the collection made on the occasion of the opening amounted to £90. At the evening service the sermon was preached by Arch- deacon Williams, to a congregation exceeding in num- bers even the morning one, in his usual impressive and instructive style after which the assembly separated, evi- dently deeply impressed with the solemn and important proe-ding, which hi eiused them for the first time to ass-mo'j as worshi •< is, within the walls of their long wished for village Cnurch. ABERGAVENNY EISTEDDFOD. — The Eisteddfod at Abergavenny, in October, will be the most brilliant meeting of this kind that the principality has yet wit- nessed. In addition to the presence of the party who will accompany the hon. president, Charles Kemeys Tynte, Esq., a very gay assemblage is expected at the mansion of Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., at Llpuover Court. A larg-e number of visitors will remain in Abergavenny, and the neighbouring seats of the gentry. There will be some forty or fifty prizes given during the Eisteddfod-six or eight triple-striuged harps will be awarded to the best performers upon this ancient instrument. To preserve the form of this glorious old relic of our ancestors, will ba among the many patiiotic efforts of the meeting. Amongst the pnze donors we find the name of Lady Hall, whose earnest endeavours to cherish everything pertaining to the nationality of Wales is too well known to require comment here the Countess of Abergavenny Lady Parry, Lady Chetwynd, Mrs. KemeYIi Tynte Mra Gwyune Holford, Mrs. Jones, of Llanarth, Mrs. Jlkdocks of Tregunter, Miss Williams, of Aberpergwm. His Royal Highness the Piiuce of Wales (whose patronage of this meeting has been sanctioned by the gracious per- mission of Her Majesty) will give a prize of twenty-five guineas for a critical essay on the history of the litera- ture and language of Wales, &c. A prize of not less than seventy guineas will be given for the best model in plaster, illustrative of Cambro British history; the sub- jects are menticme 1 in the prospectus. Amongst the subscribers to this pI ize we relid the name of the Lord Bishop of St. David's, who subscribes ten guineas. Similar sums are given by Lord James Stuart, Lady Hall, Miss \Vebb, J. Jones, Esq., Hanarth, and the late esteemed Dwarkauauth Tagore, who has left twenty pounds for this prize. Many other prizes will be given for woollens manufactured in Wales, for Welsh blue cloth, &c. The tradesmen of Abergavenny have subscribed a very handsome sum for the best specimen of Welsh woollen (not under nine yards long) adapted for waistcoats in the old national patterns. Besides prizes for the best performers on the old triple-stringed Welsh harps, others will be awarded for the best set of Welsh singers in parts—also to singers who accompany them- selves on the Welsh harp. In consequence of the absence of Mr. John Parry, senior, whose age prevents him from engagiug in the duties attendant upon these meetings, the committee, at the suggestion of Mr. Parry, have iu- vited Mr. Briuley Richards to attend the Eisteddfod as the judge of the musical proceedings. MONMOUTH FARMERS' CLUB.—At a meeting of the members of this club, held on Saturday week, Henry Piide, Esq., of the Cwm, accepted the office of honorary secretary, and it was resolved, that steps should be im- mediately taken to complete the arrangements for the next auuual ploughing match. The vacancy was created by the resignation of the late active secretary, Mr. R. W. Puichas. MONMOUTII UNION.—The election of a surgeon, to occupy the vacancy, created in the Coleford district of this union, occasioned by the retirement of Dr. Marsh, took place 0:1 Saturday week. There were ouly two caudi dates in the field, Mr. Hatton and Mr. Batten. The former was elected by a majority of 23, the numbers being 31 to 8.

BRECONSHIRE. OPERATION UNDER THE EFFECTS OF CHLOROFORM.— On Monday last one of the inmates of the Brecon Union Workhouse underwent the operation of amputa- tion of the thigh, rendered necessary by long standing disease of the leg. Thomas Armstrong, Esq., surgeon to the workhouse, was assisted on the occasion by Wishart, Esq., surgeon of the 15th Regiment, and Dr. Davies and, previous to the operation, chloroform was administered to the patient with such effect, that he did not feel the slightest pain, and continued insensible until stimulants were administered. The loss of blood was very slight. When the wounded part was dressed in the evening, chlorofoim was again administered, but the effect did not then continue so long, although it pre- vented any sensation of paiu.-Silurltli1. ° CAUTION TO WAGGONERS.—O11 Saturday week, at the Shire-hall, Brecon, before the Rev. Hugh Bold and the Rev. Thomas Vaughan, Jenkiit Jones, of Wern, was sum- moned, on the complaint of Superintendent Stephens, in consequence of the man in charge of his cart having been asleep, on a load of lime, on the Hay road, four miles out of Brecon, the horses being without a driver. The driver refused to give his name when asked by Mr. Stephens, consequently the owner of the cart was Hoed in the sum of Ss. lid. and lis. 6J. costs. At the same place, on the same day, before J. P. De Winton, Esq., D. Kirby, Esq., the Rev. Thomas Williams, and the Rev. Thomas Vaughan, Evan JOIl"S. servant to the Rev. T. J. Powell, Cantretf, was fined in the sum of 10s., and lis. costs, on the complaint of theftev. Hugh Bold, for riding in a cart uithoui reins. It appeared that on the high road near Hanfrynach, the defendant had driven against a carriage in which Mr. Bold was returning home and consideiably damaged it, driving off, as soon as the'vehi- cles were extricated, without off. ring the least assistance.

To the Editor of the Cardiff and Merthyr Guardian. SIR, In reference to some remarks in your last relative to a testimonial said to be in course of signature to the Bishop as a recognition of his services in the House of Lords in behalf of the Welsh Church, I beg to otter one 01 two remarks through the medium of your columns. Of the value of the services rendered by our excellent aud venerable diocesan there can be but one opinion—it.seems to me they are so great, that our approval of them can only adequately be testified by a public demonstration. N o doubt a meeting of the clergy and laity, cotiveued under the auspices of the learned and much respected Dean of Llandaff, or of the venerable and highly-esteemed Arch- deacon of Llandaff, (either of whom, 1 venture to hope, would be happy to preside,) would be infiuentially at- tended, and a resolution emanating from it would possess greater weight and command a readier attention titan any document issuing from a private individual, while, at the same time, it would naturally be far more gratifyiug to the Bishop. For the most part, memorials singly penned and coming from private hands are apt to languish, if they do not indeed die a natural death before they attain any kind of maturity, whereas what is sought by combined and uiiaiiimous effort, is, fiom the energy of many minds beiiiK directed towards it, commonly biought to a suc- cessful issue. Iu the present case 1 know there are many who would be loath to give their signatures to a testi- monial originating with an individual, who would jet be only too glad to join with others iu publicly expressing their approval of the Bishop's conduct. TrUSlill; that Ihe hints 1 have thrown out, and which are forwaTded ou a 1 knowledge of the sentiments of liunieious parties, may be taken up in influential quarters, I remain, Sir, \o'urs.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE «PRINCIPALITY." CanjfH", Sept. 11, 1848. SIR,—In your last inimberAliere is a paragraph under the head of "Church States, from which ihe readers of the Principality are ifl to believe that Mr. Batchelor has been defrauded of 4s. You state 1'II\t "a waggon, value jL)2, was seiztKiaijid sold for 16s., the amount claimed," intimating a j|t»^of- £ ll 4s. sustai ied by Mr. Batchelor for co>1 sciemotii r* Were <»ti not aware, Sir, that a neighbour bought. the waggon inr 16s., which amount satisfied the collectol. aria tbativhcii he left, .Mr. Sydney Batchelor repaid the amount eM the puichaser of the waggon, and took the receipt for tho rate, as understood between him and the purchaser previous to the sale-tlie whole transaction scarcely occupying ten minutes, and the waggon not having been removed from the premises. Mr. Batchelor has thus saved his credit, his conscicneo, and his wag .:on. You have made a martyr of him veiv cheaply, and he has the consolation of knowing he is now out of danger for twelve mouths. It is a pity you did not publish the whole truth, esp cially as "the Principality entered this day [Friday last) upon the second year of its existence, through the kind- ness of Divine Providence," although I must confess I do not see the connexion. In y our address to your suhscribers you say, We have laboured honestly and persercrill"ly i we have truste I ourselves to abstract truths, and calmly wait the day of our justification. In matters of policy and expedience. we have stopped too short to please some, and have gone too far to gratify others." Surely, if you stop short of the truth for expediency's sake, or go beyond it for policy's sake, you do not labour honestly, and you must not expect to please or gratify. However, you promise amendment for the future. Truth," say you, shall be our leader, and New Testa- ment principles the standard of our policy." Let it be so; then your talents will be better employed than in sowing dissension and discord among neighbours and townsmen. I remain, Lair, your obedient serva it, N. H. B. « To the Editor of the Cardiff and Merthyr Guardian. SIR,-Further extracts from the provincial news- papers of A 1756.—A society is formed in Breconsliire for encou- raging improvements in agricultuie and manufactures. The premiums proposed to be paid are for farmers who shall produce the best fields of turnips in proportion to the largeness of their farms, and for drab-coloured cloth (brithin glûs), the manufacture and growth of that country. 17oo.—Last week, died, at his lodgings, Whitehall, where he lived privately for some time past, the Rev.

WAUNTREODA FLORAL SOCIETY. This society's second exhibition for the currpnt year took place on Wauntreoda Common, on Wednesday last, and attracted considerable numbejs of the surrounding gentry and inhabitants of this town. We have so often had the pleasing duty of recording the society's proceed- ings that it is unnecessary for us to do more on the pre- sent occasion than to say that our expectations were fully realised — that the show of Dihlias was most gor- geous and brilliant and that the fruit and vegetables generally were equal to any that Covent Garden, even, coutt boast. Some of the "devices" were remarkably handsome; and one, which owed its formation to the taste and judgment of Mr. W. D. Haddock, was, most justly, the theme of general admiration. It was a large crown, with a" plume of feathers"; and occupied a very conspicuous position in the marquee. We observed among the numerous parties who were present—T. W. Booker, Esq., the High-sheriff, and several members of his family; Henry Lewis, Esq.; Wyndham Lewis, Esq.; the Chancellor of Llandaff and several ladies; Edward Evans, Esq.; Edward Evans, Jun., Esq.; Thomas Evans, Esq.; Captaiu Armstrong; John Reece, Esq.,&c.,&c. The musicians who enlivened the proceedings are some of the members of the Royal Glamorgan Band and they played a variety of pleasing airs and pieces during the afternoon. In common with many others, we were par. ticularly struck with the manner in which they played some Welsh airs: for example, "The March of the Men of Harlech" was given with exquisite taste; and so harmoniously did the various instruments blend, that, at a short distance, that fine old piece seemed to proceed from a powerful organ, well and judiciously played. I The following is a statement of the awards of the judges: — AMATEURS.— Vegetables.

In the evening a numerous party sat down to dinner at the Three Elms Inn, where, as usual, the host and hostess had provided a first-rate entertainment.

native of the Principality, acquainted with its language, for this important office. It is, indeed, strange that, after an expensive Commission of Inquiry, and a voluminous report, which gave, whether truly or falsely so unfavourable a representation of the present state of education amongst us, we should he still de- prived of this advantage, and so Iett in a worse situa- tion as to obtaining assistance from the annual Parlia- mentary grant than any other portion of her Majesty's dominions. For, without an Inspector, there can be no apprenticing of pupil teachers, no appointment of paid monitors, no examination of schools, no certifi- cates for grants in aid of salaries, in fact, none of those advantages which are to be derived under the late minutes of Council. Repeated remonstrances have, we know, been made to the Secretary to the Committee of Council, on this subject; and we trust that the promise to which we have alluded, will ere long be redeemed, and something done by Govern- ment for education in Wales as the result of the monster report of the Commissioners. Meanwhile, the approaching completion of the New Training College at Carmarthen, is a subject of congratulation. It will be opened on the 29th of this month, under the care of the Rev. William Reed, who has most successfully conducted a similar institution in the diocese ot York. Accommodation will be afforded for 60 students, of whom the larger part are expected to be natives of Wales, and acquainted with the Welsh, as well as the English, language. The terms of admission have been fixed at 20 guineas a-year for board and education, and the ordinary course of train- ing will extend over two years. It has, however, been found that even in England the persons best fitted to become useful schoolmasters, are often unable to pro- cure the required training for want of means, and in the poorer districts of the Principality, this inability will be of very frequent occurrence, and the work of training will be seriously impeded, unless some pro- vision in the shape of exhibitions is made for a large proportion of the students. Some assistance has been promised for this object by the Committee of Council on Education, as well as by the National Society; but the Welsh Education Committee havq been obliged to make a special appeal to their friends for this specific purpose, and amongst the few contributors alreauy announced we are glad to find the names of the fol- lowing gentlemen connected with this Diocese:—R. Blakemore, Esq.. M.P £100; H. Gwyn, Esq., M.P., £100; and Sir Thomas Philips..EtOO; and this, in addition to the liberal sums respectively promised to the general purposes of the Welsh Education Fund. We understand that the Archidiaconal Boards of LlandafF and Monmouth are also likely to contribute something towards the maintenance of Exhibitioners for the counties of Glamorgan and Monmouth; and we hope soon to be able to announce the names of other parties who may be disposed to give their assis- tance to this good work. The want is of a temporary character, or is at least more urgently felt now, be- cause after a few years a large number of monitors and pupil teachers apprenticed under the minutes of council will be ready to enter Training Schools with exhibitions from the Parliamentary grant for educa- tion. Another pleasing fact which we have to men- tion is, that the Female Welsh Exhibitioners who were received for training about two years ago into the National Society's Institution at Whitelands, have now for the most pait completed their education, and will, in a very short time be prepared to undertake the charge of schools in the Principality. They are all favourably spoken of by the authorities at White- lands, though of course of various degrees of merit; some of them, it is expected, will obtain high certifi- cates. others, those of a lower kind; but still such as may entitle them to an augmentation of salary under the minutes in council, as well as qualify them to take pupil teachers or paid monitors. If any of our friends are in want of female teachers for service ill the Prin- cipality we would recommend them to Iqse no time in making application to the resident chaplain at White- lands, the Rev. H. Baber, who will, we are confident, readily answer all enquiries on the subject. We may add that we have learnt from good authority that one of the most promising female pupils has been sent from this diocese, for which we hope her future ser- vices will be secured. Ws were somewhat surprised last week, to see stated in a provincial newspaper that the collector of Church-rates, in this town, had entered the timber-yard of the Messrs. Batchelor, had seized a waggon of the value of £ 12, and had sold it for IHs., the amount claimed." So it was broadly asserted; and the public were inevita- bly led to conclude that the waggon had been legally seized, that it had been sold outright for 16s., that its owners were deprived of it, and were losers to the amount of £ L 1 4s. that iîl, estimating the value of the waggon at £12, as stated. Jt is seldom that the most shameless and barefaced "eeonomiser of truth" has the hardihood boldly to put forth and circulate a story unless it has some foundation, however slight; and upon enquiry, we tind that certain trifling circumstances which occurred in connexion with die collection of the Church-rate for Saint John's parish have been twisted into a seizure," and dignified by being made the subject of a newspaper paragraph. We are informed that the collector (Mr. Osman) called at the place of business of the Messrs. Batchelor-re. quested payment of the Church-rates due by them—was told by Mr. Sydney Batchelor that they would not pay th- rate—that the collector then said proceedings wou'd be .a'ten to enforce payment, whereupon Mr. Sydney liatchelor intimated to hun that if he "seized" anything, aold it, and so obtained payment, there would be no op. position given; but that if they were put to the expense and inconvenience of appearing in a court of law they woatd oppose the rate, or words to that effect. Some further conversation ensued and it was determined that the form of making a "seizure," &c., should be gone through. Three persons were called in, by the collector we believe, who said he had a demand for Church-rates against the Messrs. Batchelor amounting to tCs., and that whoever would pay him that sum should have a waggon, which he said he had "seized." One of the party, who had previously spoken to Mr. S. Batchelor, paid the money, had a receipt for if, which receipt he handed to Mr. S. Batchelor, who gave him IGs. There were no costs incurred or paid. And this is what is called a "seizure." Stuff and nonsense. Why, is it mot clear that the proceeding had the sanction (virtually, :at lesst, if not actually) of one of the owners of the wag- gon 1 The collector was armed with no warrant of dis- tress; and no man knows better than Mr. Batchelor that ;he might, when the pretended seizure" was made, ihave seized" the officer by the collar and summarily .ejected him from the premises. Dr. Paley, in the chapter on "Lies" in his Princi- pleM of Moral and Political Philosophy," refers to pious franuls, and says "there may be falsehoods which are not lies, so there may be lies without literal or direct false- hood. IT IS THE WILFUL DECEIT THAT MAKES THE LIE and we wilfully deceive when our expressions are not true in the sense in which we believe the hearer to ap- prehend them." We leave the public to decide whether the conductors of the newspaper, in which the account of the "seizure" appeared, intended to deceive.
