--L — .■•main SWANSEA, FIIIDAV, Nov. 8. fcS" We have to acknowledge the receipt of the Lines from "SCIHBENDUS;" but do not conceive they possess sufficient interest for inesertion. In pursuance of an advertisement in our last paper, a. numerous, and respectable meeting was held at Pylelnri, to take into consideration the contemplated alteration in the conveyance of the Irish Nlail from Milford to Waterford. The High .Sheriff having been called to the Chair by our worthy Member, Sir Christopher Cole, seconded by the Most Noble the Marquess of Bute, the Lord Lieutenant,—that Gentleman briefly ex- plained the object of the meeting.—The Lord Lieu- tenant then rose, and stated that the object which the meeting had in view met with bis hearty con- currence, and that he would give every assistance to the county of Glamorgan to secure to them and the Principality the priviiege which they had for a series of years enjoyed—the continuance of the Irish Packcts from Milford to Waterford.—SirC. Coie rose, and after observing upon the incalcu- lable injury which would result to the county of Glamorgan by a discontinuance of the Irish Packets troin Waterford to Milford, and the necessity of memorialising the Lords of his Majesty's Treasury, and adopting other means for securing to the county the communication between South Wales and the -South of Irebind, by means of the Packets from Waterford to Milford, stated, he felt the greatest pleasure in conlmunicating to ihe meet. ing, that, whilst he was in London, he had several interviews with the Lords of his Majesty's Treasury on the subject, and h« was proud to say, that his statemen t was received with marked at- tention. lie then stated, that his constituents might rely on his exertion to forward the wishes of the meeting—The Hon. W. B. Grey observed, that he fully concurred in the statements expressed by Sir C. Cole, and proposed that a Committee should be named, in order to form resolutions, if no Gentleman was prepared with any.M r. Blukemore rose, and aftei- making very many judi- cious remarks upon the incaicuiabte injury which would result to the county of Glamorgan if the projected alteration took place, proceeded to sub- mit a series of resolutions (vide advert.) for the consideration of the meeting, subject to any amend- ment which might be proposed. The resolutions were then read and moved by Mr. Blakemore, and seconded by Sir C. Cole, wheti our worthy Member for the Boroughs (Mr. W. Lewis) rose, and stated, that the resolutions met his fall approbation; and that he should use his exertions in favour of a Memorial (founded on the resolutions) to the Lords of his Majesty's Treasury.M.t. Guest said, that he was perfectly sensible of the injury the county of Glamorgan would sustain-if the contemplated alterations of discontinuing the Irish Packets from Waterford to Milford tookptace, and therefore lie fully agreed with the resolutions. The resolutions were then unanimously carried. Meetings of the county of Carmarthen and borough of Carmarthen were also held last week, when resolutions in favour of the retention of the Packet establishment at Milford were unanimously agreed to. We trust this active co-operation cf the principal counties and towns in South Wales, will have the desired effect j^for, to make use of the words of a contemporary, We have yet to learn the important benefits, in a national point of view, that would counterbalance the injuries that would be inflicted on the proprietors of an im- mense tract of country, by the removal of the pre- sent Packet phtabiishrnent from Miiford." A vacancy in the Coronersliip of the western division of this county having been occasioned by the death of Griffith Llewelyn, J £ s.q. of Baglan-hall, three gentlemen have announced themselves as candidates to fill tha.t office-viz. Thomas Thomas Esq. of Cardiff, and Thomas Morgan and David' Powell, Esqrs. of Neath. The Reverend the Chancellor of the Diocese of Landaff has appointed the liev. A. A.Isaacson, Vicar of Newport, to the office of a Surrogate, for granting Marriage Licences and Proving Wills, in "IIC the Diocese of Landaff. The Concert at the Mackworth-Arms, on Wed- nesday last, under the management of Mr. Barree, was most fashionably attended; and the perform- ances and imitations of SiguorMilioli on the violin obtained the justty.merited applause of by the company. The performances of Mr. Williams, on the Piano-Forte, and of Mr. Barree, on the violin, elicited much commendation; and the whole went off with much eclat. John Brown, Esq. the Bailiff of Brecon, has been actively exerting himself, as Chief Magistrate, in the regulation of weights and measures in that borough. The inn-keepers have generally adopted the pewter measures required by the last licensing act. Answrnarket-house for the butchers, con- sisting of seventeen very commodious stalls, has been erected by the Bailiff under the Shire-hall; the nuisance arising from the exposure of meat in the open street has been thus removed. This market is brilliantly illuminated at night with gas. The smack Two Sisters, of Pembroke, William Lewis, master, from Bristol, with a valuable cargo of shop goods, for Pembroke and Narberlh, was lost, together with her cargo, about nine o'clock .1 last Friday night, near St. Gowan's Point, to the eastward of the Crow Rock when, melancholy to relate, Mr. Platt, of Bath (who has for some time travelled from Bristol to Milford, Pembroke, &c. in the straw bonnet line), a Mr. John Morris, a native of Solva (who, after an absence of 28 years, was returning home to his native place), passengers, and Henry Morgan, a seaman, belonging to the vessel, were washed overboard, and drowned im- mediately, on the vessel going on shore. It ap- pears from'the statement of the master (who was at Milford on Monday last to note his protest), that they sailed from Bristol, with a fair wind, the day before the accident happened, and being eio-ht miles to windward of the Crow Rock the foliow?ti<>- morning, in a strong S. S'W. gale, the jib and fore- sail was blown away; from which, period the vessel gradually drifted to leeward ajnd went on'shore and her mast falling towards the rock, the master and a boy got over it to a part of the cliff' above the reach of the sea, where they remained until the following morning, and succeeded, with great diffi- culty al.¡rI danger, in reaching the summit of the cliff, being much bruised and in nearly a state of exhaustion. A fine brig, Called the Royalist, Palmer, master from Cardiff for London, with between 3 and 400 tons of wrought and cast iron, w £ nt on shore in Sandy Haven Bay, about three miles below Milford on the night of Saturday last,—crew and caroro saved. The vessel is not ,expectad to be got off— A number of labourers and carts are employed in removing the cargo" and materials, during low waier, to a piaceut safety, nnder the direction of .Messrs.

Pi"SIBHOKE3IIrIJE HUNT IVTeETIXG AND R-ACES.— This annual Meeting of sport and gaiety, com-j menceri on Monday, the 21st ult, and the day being very fine, a numerous field of well-mounted gentle- men, collected at Boulston Wood, where Reynard was soon unkennelled, but the sport was not con- sidered to be what a staunch fox-hunter would call I good.—On Tuesday, the weather continuing fine, the Race Course was numerously and fashionably attended, and the sport was highly gratifying. The hunter's stakes of fifty guineas was won by Mr. Gough's b. c. Valentine, beating Mr. Tomb's b. c. Anastus, Mr. Douglas's br. h. Vampire, and Mr. Phillips's b. g. Sylvan, The trial of speed be'.ween Broomstick and Lydia, for the Macaroni was as sharp as need be witnessed at this race the know- ing ones seemed quite dumbfounded to see the all- confident Meteorina iay so far behind. The Handi- cap produced a. continuance of good sport, but owing to some mismanagement, a severe false heat was run between the Dandy and Scarecrow, and won by the Dandy; in the next heat the Dandy fell; he being the favourite, the fate of those.stakes became quite altered.—Wednesday's hunt was si- milar t.o Monday, and seemed more adapted for pleasure than a greedy chase..—The weather oil Thursday had quite aliered, and the rain, at in- tervals, poured down in torrents a vast number had assembled on the ground, notwithstanding, and great sport was expected between Broomstick and Lydia for the plate, bnt owing to an extra cloth being put mider Lydia's saddle to make up a de- ficiency in weight, the saddle shifted, and all was over with her as to the issue of the race. The run- ning for the cup was good but not severe, and was won by Mr. G. Davies's cb. m. Luce; the Handicap was very sharply contested, the Maid of all Work winning by enough to say she had won.-On Friday the hounds killed in fine style, witnessed by a .very large field of sportsmen.—Saturday 's con- tinuance of rain damped the ardour for the turf, and the Race Course became very heavy; there was, however, very good running for the handicap, which Lydia won in good style and last came the Cocktails, which was an excellent race, old Kil- larney disappointing the knowing ones by bespat- tering Nectar with mud. The ordinaries filled well, and the balls were elegantly and fashionably at- tended, particularly on the dress evening, when several young ladies of distinction were introduced. Too much praise cannot be given to the stewards of the hunt, for their attention in diversifying the amusements of the week, particulariy in procuring the professional members of the Royal Bath Har- monic Society, who presented the company with two most excellent concerts. On Thursday last, conformably to advertisement (see our Paper of Oct. 19) the market-house in the village of Tre-Moggridge was opened tor the ac- commodation of the public. At an early hour every part of the covered market was filled with meat and corn, and a great deal was necessarily exhibited for sale in the maHset-place, which was crowded with standings for the sale of butter, poultry, vegetables, fruit, pigs, earthenware, shoes, linen drapery of various kinds, nails, hats, flannels, cheese, and fresh herrings. A great nuniber of "Ic people attended (it being calculated there were at one time not less than: fifteen hundred persons present), and nearly the whole of the me^t, with a great proportion of the other artictes or provision, were disposed of at the following prices, beef frorq 3 I. to 4d. per lb., mutfe-a 2|d. to 4d., pork 3|d. to 4d., Geese from 5d, to Cd. per lb., cheese, best making, 6d.by the lb., prime wheat at 6s. 6d. per nushel, oats at 2s. 2 1., potatoes (by the sack) for. 3s., fresh butter fetched from lQd. to lid. per lb., and tub-butter (by theycask) sold at 8fd, The show ofmedt was exceedingly fine, particularly the Scotch beef from Newport and Cwmdws, and Daniel Lewis's mutton. Judging from this beginning, the 9 benefits resulting from this interesting experiment both to the buyer and sellet are likely to exceed the most sanguine expectation tha.t had been form- edof its success, particularly if all the workmen in the collieries are paid weekly in money, and the pay-day be altered to Wednesday, which we are happy to say the masters of several of the prin- cipal works have signified their intention of doing; consequent upon which we have no doubt the ac- commodations for the market wiilbe proportion- ably enlarged. y C, On Monday last, a girl aged fourteen, servant at Penygraig, in the parish of Llanarth, Cardiganshire, having been sent by her ihislress to drive away the cows off the the cliff hanging oyer the sea, and not returning within the time expected, her mistress became alarmed, and went out, in company with others of the family, to look for her, when they pre- sently discovered her below on the beach, apppa- rently lifeless. The tide flowing at the time, the place where she lay could not be reached for some hours. She was found a corpse, with a shocking laceration of the scalp, and her skull fractured, and also a fracture of one of her arms. The height of the cliff from the beach'cannot be less than a hun- dred feet. Early on the morning of Thursday last, Mr. Wm. Davis and his wife, of RtJckwall Common, in the. Parish of Eaton Bishop, i-u this county, were awuke by the cries of a child when Mr. D. getting up to ascertain from whence they proceeded, was sur- prised to find at his house door, a fine boy about 12 months old, without clothes, but carefully wrap- ped up in a piece of new flannel, outside of which was a piece of bath coating, likewise new on tak- ing it in, on examination a note was found, written on a sheet of letter paper, with a black-lead pencil, in Roman characters (evidently for the purpose of disguising the hand-writing), folded up in the form of a letter, the superscription requesting the child to be taken to a benevolent lady in the neighbour- hood, to whom some doggerel lines were addressed in the note. The note and child were accordingly taken to the lady, but she very properly declined having any thing to do with the child, and it was subsequently placed in the hands of the Parish fliocer,—Hereford Journal. ROBBERIES IN BRISTOL.-—ON the morning of Mon- day se'nuight itie..sh,ol) of Mr. Mathews, in Lime- kiln-lane, was entered by four tads, whilst he Was i engaged in the back premises, and about 71. taken from the till; Mr.M. coming into the shop, secured one of the thieves, who is since committed.—On the night of the 24th nit, the fam'ly of Mr. Goddard, at the Coach and Horses on the Ashton road, were alarmed by the door being attempted to be forced, when a young man in the house opened the win- dow, and saw two men run from the door, on whom he fired, and it is supposed he wounded one, as he heard a great outcry.—A few nights ago, a gang of villains robbed the house of Mr. Warner, on Red- cliff-crescent, of plate, &c. &c. to a considerable amount. Tbey then visited a house nearly ad- joining, but were discovered in time by a servant. They next plundered the house No. 15 of cash and other effects. Thence they visited No. 5, and forced the parlour sash and although challenged by two females, in tbe house, they still proceeded to force the window-shutters in the most daring manner. They next robbed Mr. Ilare of all his poultry and on Tuesday night, they stripped a very poor'manof his all.—ibursday night, the shop-window of a tradesman in Wine-street was broken open, and a piece of toilinet, value four guineas, taken there- from.—The same night the counting-house of Messrs. Protheroe, in Berkeley-square, was "broken open, within thirty yards of the watchman's box, and 321. stolen. r Thursday morning (lie Most Noble the .Marquess I j Camden, Recorder <">f Bath, attended at the GuiWM half in that city, and presided at a Court he!<l for; the purpose of administering the oaths of qualifica- tion to the Right Worshipful,the Mayor and other Magistrates for the ensuing year. In the afternoon agreeably to annual custom, a sumptuous banquet was given in honour of the Noble Recorder's visit; when the worthy Mayor had the gratification of seeing about 80 guests appear in full and unalloyed enjoyment of the festivities of the evening. Our cattie market has been more abundantly sup- plied for the last three or four weeks, than at any period within our recollectipn. The, sheep pens have been found insuffirient-to hold the numbers brought for sale and we regret tp' add, that the prices are still ruinous. Indeed, we know one ex- perienced grazier, who sold sheep, on Thursday last, for 27s., which cost him in the spring 48s.— Bristol Mcrcury. A tree, at Fiax-Bourton, near Bristol, bore this year 60,000 apples, which produced nearly 4 hhds. of cider. An application was made last week to Mr. Jus- tice Best at Bath, to take bail for Mr. Matthews, a respectable yeoman, concerned in the late melan- choly affray at Chippenham; but the cqmmitta! be- ing on a charge of murder, his. Lordship refused the application. At Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and other large manufacturing t owns, summary steps, are taking against all owners of .Steam Engines and Furnaces, who refuse to introduce into their works any of the improved methods the smoke arising therefrom. At Leeds, the proprietors of all works of the kind there, are ordered by the Court to make within a limited time and under pain of a heavy I penalty, such arrangements for abating the nuis- ance complained ol as shall be satislactory t<i a Committee appointed for that purpose. In Man- chester and its weighbonrhood, heavy fines have in in several instances already been levied.—Birming- ham Gazette. The death of Sir John Kynaston Powell, Birt. having, occasioned a vacancy in the representation of Shropshire, three Candidates have announced themselves,—viz. Win, Lloyd, Esq. of Aston; J. Cressett Pellam, Esq., and W. L. Childe, Esq. one of the present Members for the Borough of Wen- lock. It is exactly a century smce a contesceJ Election for the County took place. A melancholy accident happened at Llanrwst on Monday last. Five or six women were as- sembled in a bake house in the town, when un- happily the flooring of the room above (in which were stored a quantity of potatoes) gave way, and killed on the spot one of the poor women and her daughter. Another was serilously hurt, and all, we understand, more or less injured. At Newtown Fair, Montgomeryshire, on the 24th ult. cattle,- sheep, and pigs, experienced a continued depression. Many thousand sheep, and great quantities of cattle, were driven back unsold. The number of sheep penned amounted to 20,000 at least. Fat cattle averaged about 3d. per lb. Calving heifers were sold for ol or 61. and several gppd heilers were bought as low as 4). Bullopks were 20 p. ct. lower; Fat sheep averaged about 3d, per lb., Southdown wethers formerly worth 35s. were offered at 15,« per head. Hill wethers (which used to fetch from 15s. to 38s.) fetched from 8s. to9s. Pork pigs were sold at l kl. to lid. per lb. 1 NARROW WHEELS.—A correspondent suggests the propriety of the different agricultural societies forthwith offering premiums for the best model of a six-inch cart Wheels which shall most .effectually combine Tightness' wiih strength; and adds, that unless this be done, or some other method adopted for procuring some generally improved construction of broad wheels for Smait carts, the new Turnpike Act will operate unintentionally in inflicting cruelty upon animals, which the same Legislature, by another Act, has so strongly deprecated, and cou- stituted an offence., For, he adds, it cannot but be generally known now, that by the hew Turnpike Act all wheels of less breadth than six inches will be subject to a heavy extra toll-after 1st January next, and are totally prohibited after 1st Jan. 1826. Instead therefore of paying this extra toll fur three years, common sense- suggests" that it is better at once to get six inch wheels substituted for the present narrow ones. AI.DEP.MAN Woo D.-We have great pleasure in correcting a mistake which occurred in a statement with which we were furnished relative to the great mine cause of Rowe v. Wood.' We thought we could rely on the truth of the communication, but it appears, that though there was no falsehood in the account, there was a suppression of truth. Our correspondent inlormed jis, that the claims of Alderman Wood against Mr. Rowe, which had been variousty.stated&t 50,0001. 40,0001.& 30,0001. had been reduced by the award to under 10001.; but he omitted to state, as the fact turns out to be, that since his claims had been so represented, Al- dermanWood had received many thousand pounds of profit from the mine, and that when the agreer ment of reference was made, it was arranged that Mr. Rowe should have credit in his account with the Alderman lor upwards of 25.000J. together with interest from a time to be fixed by the arbitrators, in respect to certain shares in the-mining property alluded to, of which the Aldermen and Mr. Philip Wood then conciusivety agreed to become the pur- chasers.— Times.

To the EDITOR of the CAMBRIAN. Srri. To withhold the ineed of praise from any subject de- serving our commendation; is, I consider, as censurable, in a comparative degree, as the non-payment of a just debt, when we have it in our power so to do. Actuated by this feeling, I cannot sufficiently express to you the sensation of delightful surprise I experienced on entering Swansea one night last weekj after"an absence of a few years: the judicious arrangement of (he pnbtic Ras Ugbts, heightened and assisted by its very liberal introduction into the hand- some shops and houses of ,4he inhabitants ,etierally; equals I any thing <jf a similar nature I have seen in the kingdom most of the gas-lighted towns" of which I have visited it was a contrast indeed to me, ofe-iio ordinary degree, who, a short time ago. literally groped my way into the town. If, however, I was surprised at night, that surprise be- came astonishment in the morning, when., in walking out. I perceived ihe judicious formation and exquisite cleanli- ness of the streets: a stranger will scarcely credit it, and the person who knew Swansea a few vears since believe, that the very centre of the road of aiarge populolls and trading town .shonld possess all the comfort and appear- ance of the well-fornjerl grmetlcd watk of a gentleman's pleasure ground every thing oiFensive to the eye or the foot constantly removed with the most sedulous attention; enabling the elegantly dressed female to walk in the middle of a street possessing two spacioui) nnd wen-formed pavements, after a rllinynight in the month of November. Justice must pronounce this to be the very ne plus itltra of road-making. Surely, 1\1.

Icanhotconctude without'begg'm'g leave to notice most Particularly the effect produced by the soft a')d"chastened Maniier of lighting the church for'evening service: and if the officiating Minister wHt accept the thaiiks of a stranger for one of the best sermons-ever preached (on die subject chosen), he shicerety has them.
