TIE CA MB Mi AN. ""<1 SWANSEA, FRIDAY, MARCH 10. Extract of a Letter from London, dateil Eight o'Clock Wednesday Evening last. The military continue to parade the streets nearest to the Ministers' houses, and those Mem- bers who are supposed to have rendered themselves obnoxious to the public by advocating the cause of the Corn Bill. Mobs are collecting in different parts where the military are stationed, but without attempting any mischief so early in the day. The lives lost yesterday, and the many persons wound- ed, saena also to have made the mQbmQre cautious in then-proceedings. When the military are en- gaged in witching the motions of large, numbers, some 100 or 50 retire by degrees, break a few win- dows, and are off again before the military arrives. Nothing is more c-eraiii than that it is the inten- tion of Governmeni to proceed with the Corn Bill. This day accounts reached town from Birming- ham, by which we learn that the peeple have soli- cited in vain the gentlemen of the neigitbourhood to call a meeting to petition against the Corn Bill; but they having refused, the people themselves have resolved to meet as this day for that purpose, and some alarm was apprehended by the farmers on the occasion. Private accounts by the Plantagenet man ol war, from the Havann-th, state, that the failure of the expedition against New Orleans may be attributed to more causes than one; the principal was the manifest want of co-operation on the part of some of the divisions^ and secondly,; a want of concen- tration in the troops. It has been considered a matter of surprise why so large a portion of troops was landed at St. Mary's, and thereby prevented from accompanying the expedition to New Orleans. "According to accounts from the Mediterranean oftlic iltil ult. it appears that the American crtli- zers in that quarter, had captured twelve vessels, five of which had been,carrieci into Tunis, the; other seven gnen up. STOCKS—Consols, cs^—For Account, 64| HOUSE OF COMMONS, Wednesday, March 8. CORN. A great number of petitions were presented against the Corn Bill. Alderman Atkins hoped the House would not precipi- tate the measure without paying some attention to the universal call of the-people; he did not mean the riotous rabble,* whose conduct had excited just indignation, but the respectful remonstrances of the nation at large. Sir J. Graham said it was the unanimous opinion of the greatest ianded interest, and of the most respectable and experienced surveyors, that 72s. per quarter of wheat would be RSlItfiiient protection to the agriculture of the country. Mr. Fawceit and Mr. Calcraft perfectly coincided id the Hon. Baronet's sentiments. Mr. Hawthorne thought 80s. necessary. On the question for bringing up the report of the bill, Sir G. lieathcote deprecated precipitancy, and moved that the report he received that day six months. Lord G. Grenville seconded the motion. Mr. Brogden was left speaking in oppositiou to the motion.'1

Mnemonics.—A numerous party was highly gra- tified and greatly astonished, on Monday last, at tIe Examination 01 two boys in the Lancas trian school at Swansea, to whom JVir. Sains had given but three or lour hours instruction in his new system of Mnemonics, in Chronology, Histury, Geography, Astronomy, Poetry, French Grammar, CheLiiical Aiffllities, Each of these boys had three or four parts to perform, yet so strongly were every subject impressed on his mind, in this short period, that he could answer with the greatest facility and correctness, to either in a moment, forwards, backwards, or in any order proposed. We were much surprised to hear a. boy who knew not a particle of Grammar before, able to conju- gate a Trench verb, in one hour, with as much p correctness as if he had been initiated in that lan- guage for six months. We are happy irt saying that the Professor comruchced a.eouf&e <it Jcctures at ihe Town-Hall, on Tuesday evening to a crowtled audience, and from what we have ah'f'any seen, mus! pronounce this system to be an invaluable acqui- sition 11 all lcver/oi literature ^nd science. We hope that the L°cturer, in his tour through Wales, will every where meet with that enconragemCllt which his excellent system deserves.—(See Advl.) j In corroborationofthc above remarks, we insert (as we have liberty to do) the following letter, among many other;, addressed to him from Carmarthen: Carmarthen, March 1, iai5. Dear.Sir—We the undersigned feel ourselves bound in gratitude to express our most cordial thanks to you foryuu r strenuous exertions to fertilize the imagination, and to faci- .Itiuii, aiid to litate the attainment of knowledge in general and beg leave to state that how high soever out- expectations were excited by the strong recommendations given to your im- proved System of Mnemonics, by the most respectable cha- racters in Haverfordwest, that they were fully realized in attending your lectuies the System being so simplified as to be intelligible to the lowest capacity, and so general 'as to be applicable to any branch oi learning, has our entire approbation, and we feet ourselves catted upon to recom- mend it to (he consideration of the public. Assuring you Sir, that we are your obliged servants, David Peter, 1). L, Jones, J. Jenkins, R. D. Edwards, J. Evans, Geo. Parry," Henry Colbatch, Wm. Phillips, J.L!ewe!!yn. It is pleasing to observe the happy result of the: encouragement given by the Cardiganshire Agri- cultural Society to ploughing with two horses a-breast without a driver, in the establishment of ploughing matches in different-.parishes, as prepa- ratory exercises to the grand one ordered for the lower district of the county in October next; one of these was lately conducted in the parish of Llan- goedmore, where five candidates started fur a purse made up amongst the respectable "pt-ctators wlio attended. The contest displayed much spirit and the performances were deemed excellent by the experienced farmers present. v On Monday last, a seafaring man presented himself to one of the Magistrates at Millord for relief; he stated that he just arrived from Tenby, having been landed about lour miies from thence on the preceding-day that on the 3d inst. in a thick fog, the brig Union, of Dartmouth, bound from London for Liverpool, laden with a general cargo, struck on the Hats and- Barrels, near the Smalls, and immediately sunk, when the crew, nine in number, took to the boat, but which unfor- tunately upset; that himself and a boy clung to the bottom of the boat, where they remained for a considerable time, and were picked up by the sloop Friends, of Carnarvon, which vessel landed them, at the place before stated. Some circumstances, however, occurred, to excite suspicion, and as the boy was not to be foiind, the man was more oy closely examined and after persisting for a consi- derable time in the above story, he was at last 10 of obliged to confess that the whole of it was false, and that he had just arrived from Ireland, in con- sequence of which he was sent on hoard his Majes- ty's ship Spitfire, but has since escaped be stated himself to be a shipwright by trade, and a native of Dorsetshire. On Monday last an inquest was held at Pontar- dawe, by Dr. J. C. Collins, on the body of Janet Bowen, aged 83, who fell into the canal, and was drowned,—Verdict, accidental death. Oxford, March, 4.—The personal representative of a deceased Clergyman is entitled to such part of the last year's composition for Tythes as is propor- tionate to the time of such Clergyman's incum- t, bency to the day of his death, and not merely to the tenth of such titheable matters as were served within that time. This was determined by the Vice Chancellor in December, 1813, in the case of Aynsley, v. Wordsworth.

There are no less than TuttEE CERTAIN PItUES OE THIRTY THOU- SAND POUNDS EACH; but also Five Thousand Gui- neas, which will be paid as soon as drawn, in I Gold. As a proof oftbe popularity of the present Lottery, the demand is unequalled, and the num ber of favourite Yickets bespoke at the Bank ol England, tar exceeds any former Lottery. It begins on the 5th of next Month, (APRIL), and the Guineas will be paid on the same DJY. Any persoiCwishing for a favourite Number in lY obtain it by giving Orders to an Agent, or sending to an Officedceeper in London. 11 The body of a sailor Was lately cast ashore near Pwllfanogji Anglesea, which had apparently been in the water for some time; he had "'nothing in his pockets but a. few shillings arid two Manx notes, one for five shillings the other for ha)fa,crownj A silk handkerchief found his neck was marked II. R. 3. A melancholy accident occurred at Brockwear, below Monmouth, last week. A trow had just arrived from Chepstow, and the wives of the people employed on board her stood on the bank of the Wye, waiting to welcome home their husbands, when one of the men who was assisting in mooring the vessel, fell into the water, and not- withstanding every effort for his preservation, perished in the sight of his distracted wife, to whom he had only befen married four mouths, and who is pregnant. His body was found near the spot where he sunk. It is sirtguiar that the unfor tunateman, who bore an excellent character, had just before remarked to the master of the trow, that although they were so near home, some of them might never see it. On Tuesday, a. person of the name of Jones, and a widow woman of the name of Blake, both living at Skenffitb, Monmouthshire, with whom he has for some time past cohabited j were committed to Monmouth gaol, charged with the murder of a new born male infant, who was found buried inSkenfrith church-yard. Qn the discovery of the body, both absconded, hut returning to their house on Mon- day, the neighbours surrounded and took them.— And on Wednesday four men were committed for stealing the cable and anchor of the mail boat at the New Passage. The Assizes begin April 1st, and there are upwards of twenty criminals for trial. Thos. Cosgrave, the unhappy wretch mentioned in our paper of the 55th ult. on whom a verdict of wilful murder was found for the murder of his wife at Liverpool, expired in Bridewell on Tuesday morn- ing last. A Coroner's inquest sat on the body and brought in a verdict offelode se.-Hi-s remains were interred on Thursday morning about six o'clock, atthejunetionofthe four streets opposite to the end of Marybone, in the presence of a considerable number of spectators. Caution ta Waggoners.-—John Tippins, waggoner to Mr. Richard Griffiths, jun, of King's Pyon, was convicted in the legal penalty, before the Magis- 11 trates at Iviijgton, on Friday last, of having wilfully misbehaved, and interrupted the free passage of a gentleman's carriage on the highway, in the parish of Mansel.Licy, The prices of leather at Bristol, the fairs for which, in future, wiii be held on the first Tuesday H) March and September, and not on the first day of those months as heretofore; were as follow Heavy Crops 23d. to 23d.—Light and Middling do. gold, to —Best Sadlers' Hides 21d. to 22d.—Welsh Hides 2id. to Com. andlnr.

To the EDITOR of THE CAMBRIAN. SIR, Ancient Greece n-.ay boast of its Solon and Lycurgus, and our modern neighbottrs of a Sully and a Colbert. At. though the Lawgivers of Atlii-ii>and Sparta iulglit have pfjiined excellent measures for tlie encouragement of mora- lity and virtue, and the Frenchmen might well be reckoned keen, intelligent politicians; but shew me a man, in the whole Circle of history (one country excepted) who could, with a single magic toack of his jinanciai wand, raise that Colossal Phantom called Twenty M'illions Sterling Chaos will coiiie again, ere such a phenomenon can be exhibited in any coumry Liu our own. The late fillitncialmeasuresof a Right Hon Gentleman, affecting, so vitaily, that "forlorn claSs of men called Bachelorf," have excited a general sensation in this coun- iry and the principle, among singlemen, has been con- sidered both unreasonable and cruel to oppress them with taxes on. a ratio to their privations and misfortunes. It; days of old (which people often admire inconsiderately) there was an edict, that every Roman bachelor should marry the widow of a Soldier: but those were arbitrary- times, when the nod of despotic power could work mira- cles and the "derenceM not at all applicable to the pit-sent happy sera-i-ii old lt.u £ latrd. It might have been there an absolute necessity to recruit exhausted population, but here there is art alternative, which I shall take the liberty to paint out. Our population, notwithstanding the long war, is increased, and now, in consequence of the late glorious pence and late glorious regulations, is likely to increase to that which will produce a famine in the country. The ladies are, indubitably, highly obliged to that emana- tion of the- Minister's, genius, which has furnished them with a rod to scourge those desolate seicders from the tem- ple of Hymen and in their opinions he may well exclaim— etegi monumentum (era perennius. On a genera) aiid extended review of that unfortunate race called Bachelors, the- Right Hon. Gent, ought to h ive enquired a little into causes and effects, those funda- mental principles of reason, before he proceeded to give sentence against them.—-VVas a Judge to convict the most worthless rogue before he heard his defence, lie would be reckoned a ver y bad judge, indeed, of English law. If. one would examine, minutely, why Bachelors lead a life of celibacy, and could so far enter into the intricacy of the subject as tofilld 6ut thecause—the why and wherefore— lwould wage a nobte to ninepence that, in two cases out of three, it is the cruel rejection ol some capricious beauty that has brought them into that persecuted state, so as to become the objects of anti-matrimonial rigour. It is, there- fore, to me a yvonder how our worthy Chancellor of the Exchequer .could be so hard on a class of men so highU entitled to his pity and commiseration however, it is not my intention to appeal to lus pity, but to his justice, as an upright reasonable uts". In considering the nature of « Political Economy,' every one must perceive that the burthens which a people are obliged to bear, in order to protect their liberty, their cha- racter, and credit, as a'nation, ought to be in as just and equitable a manner as possible; ami that a lenient partiality to one side is a direct injury to another. On those principle?, therefore, I would, beg leave to ask the Right.lion. Gent, how he can, conscienciously, dircct the artillery of taxation to play so tremendous on the Bache- lors, while the Spinsters are allowed, to remain, under cover of a breast-work, secure from ns effects—as the single wo- men do not appear to cope under the meaning of the Act, which explicilly mentlons the word Bachelor: except, Ill- deed, the great abilities of our Financier, by some Pytha gorean hypothesis, can convert Old Maids into Bachelors and make them smart accordingly. It mv assertion should prove correct, that their rejection by the Fair is the cause why so many mea remain single; that timidity, the fear of encountering a seeond repulse, in duces thera to continue so and that afeeting of resent- ment, at.sseing preferred to thera- sff.ves, confirms that celibacy, which sccmi; to b'ace been ihf case with Pope, when.lie says of .women— A fool their passion, and their prize a sot, Alive ridiculous, <-nn dead forgot," it is therefore the extrt-nuty of hardship lo grind tlie ur,- ioitunate Batcheiors in a. Fredsury Alill, while the en; cause of theii peisecutioa are allowed to exult ia triumph at their misfortunes. To-obviate such an miuataral riistribut:on of th* eood and evil of ihis world, would beg- leave, earr-silv 'o commend the following a.hfinon.'d clauses to cae Ki 't Hon. Gent.'s bill Ist- Ev7y of pfoprrty, to pav an ad iitional duty on the amcies extra taxed to Bachelors, and ihs duty otr the latter to diminish so as to brin« tlie pariie- taxed in equal proportion. Hd. Every Spinster, of property, praved to iiiive, capri- ciously, rejected an offer of marriage from a person wo/thv ol consideration, to pay a fine of ten per cent, on her in- come, and the fine to be levied on every rejection of such offer from a separate person., 3d. Every Spinster, of property or no property, proved to have rejected an offer from- her equal, to pay a fine pro- portioned io circumstances, and the fine to be levied o.* the rejection of every such offer. 4 h. 1 very ijachelor proved to have been rejected by a Spinster of equal pretensions (rank, foitune, merit, &c. being weighed and contrasted), to be free from the addi- t:o ial duty aiiogether. 5th. A oureau or Oilice to be instituted iu each County (or more than one if necessary), and a'Bachelor appointed to collect the fines, which would in consequence be levied impartially, and a guarantee that no Spinster should escaoe with impunity. r It is incalculable, Mr, Editor, what a sum the 2d and 3d ciauscii wouidbnug into the Treasury 'rather than lose the triumph of having rejecied an offer, ail the Old Maids in the united kingdom,.from 30 to threescore and ten, would hurrv, in crowds, to the Bureau with the douceur in their hand*, ready to attest the power of their have rejected an imploring swain* or dreamed that the it have done sa. which will answer our purpose equally as well.

Paris papers to the 5!h, with some German journals, are received. The btisiness ofthe Con- gress was expected to be finally: arranged the" 1st ol this month. IU en s. We lament to say that yesterday was marked hv a repetition of riot and outrage. At night the mob assailed the windows of the FloUse of Com- mons, after the adjournment, but were speedily dispersed by the military. Lord Castlereagh's honsewas attacked, and the assault on Mr. Robinson's was renewed the rioters • were however driven from both, but not before two persons, a man and woman, attracted by curiosity to view the latter, were killed. More windows were broken ih Lord Darnley's house. The windows of a house in Baker-street ¡ were demolishedbymislrllw, as were also those ol aninorrensive widow lady in Harley-street. The houses of Lord Harewood, Lord Liscelles, Lord King, Earl Bathurst, and Sir Wra. ilowley, were successively attacked, aifd'the three latter suffered severely beiore the military could arrive. The troops deserve tlie highest praise, they are constantly on the alert, and have prevented much mischief. A train of artillery arrived in town yesterday from Woolwich and measures have been adopted by which 10,000 horse and foot can be called out in an hour if necessary. We sincerely hope, how- ever, that the popular ferment wiii subside to-day.
