The Cambrian

SWANSEA, FRIDAY1, JAN. 7. On Tuesday-last* according to ancient custom, Rowland Prichard, Esq. the highly-respected Master of the Cambrian Lodge, No. 726, Neath, was re-in- Stalled Master for the ensuing year, by the unanimous voice of the Brethren. After the business uf the Lodge was concluded, the Worshipful Master and the rest of the Craft partook of an excellent supper, provided by Brother Tholnas, which gave general satisfaction. Several excellent masomc gtees, &c. were sung in the course of the evening, which added much to the har- mony and conviviality of the meeting. The Rev. Thomas k-Viiiitiii- (it Aberpergwm, has been appointed Demesne Chaplain to the Earl. of Dunraven. The Rev. Richard Venahles, D. D. of Clyro, has been appointed a Surrogate for the diocese of Saint David's. A most horrible and fiagitious crimp was perpe- trated 011 Friday last, at Skewen, near Neath, by a miscreant, nitmed David Jones, a workman in the employ of the Crown Copper Company. A very en- gaging little girl, only eight years of age, the daugh- ter of a respectable neighbour, was returning from school, when she was seized by this wretch, dragged into his house, and treated iQa. manner which deli- cacy forbids us to it to say, that a rape was committed on the body of the unfortunate child, and that the consequences were dangerous as well as afflicting. The little git 1 is happily nearly re- covered from the effects yf the violence, but not from her extreme terror; and thefee lings of her parents may be more easily imagined thai) depicted.—The inhuman violator has absconded, but it is most de- sirable for the purposes of justice, and the peace of the community, that his retreat should he discovered, and measures are in progress which we trust may lead to his apprehension.—David Jones is about 30 years of age, five feet eightor nine inches high, of dark complexion, dark eyes, and black hair. The dress he had oil at the time of his disappearance, has not been described to us. On Monday se'nnight, Mr. Owen, son of Sir John Owen, Bart. M. P., of Orielion, attained his majority. This event was celebrated with every demonstration of joy in Pembroke, and its vicinity. In the evening the town was brilliantly illuminated, and ate in abun- dance was distributed amongst the populace, who, with joy of heart, drank bumpers to the health of the Heir of the House of Orieltoti, A lad, the son of Mr. Hughes, of the Jolly Tar, 1) .1. Carmarthen (who it appears/onty arrived at home the preceding evening, to spend the Christmas holidays), had the greater part of his left hand carried away, on Christmas-day. by the bursting of a fowling-piece, into which he had introduced three charges, for the pur- pose of shooting small birds. Amputation of the hand, to prevent mortification, was immediately resorted to. Three of the fingers carried off by the explosion were found the following day, at some distance from the spot.—On the same day, the man-servant of Mr. George Francis, of Gilfach, Carmarthenshire, accidentally lodged (hecontents of a gun in the thigh of a female servant, who was engaged preparing din- ner for the family. The wound is not considered dangerous. A match of two miles, for 100 guineas, was run for over Haverfordwest course, on Tuesday se'nnight, between Captain Butler's b. g. Lurry, and Mr. Laughame's br. m. The Muld of Oporto," list. each. The race, which excited considerable interest, was ad- mirably contested till within a few yards of the stand, when the horse shot a head, and" won by about a length. Odds at starting, two to one on the mare. a The four Post-office packets placed on the Mdford station last spring, for the conveyance ol the mail passengers, carriages, and horses, between Millord and Dunmore and Waterford harbours, have exceeded the most sanguine expectations and notwithstanding this most boisterous winter, have performed their voyages. During the violent gales (which caused such destruction on the coast) these vessels were at sea, and succeeded without much injury. Much credit is due to the head who manages at the General Post-office, as well as the agent who superintends the arduous duty at Milford. The remains of the Rev. T. Davies, of Bwlch, Rector of Trevilian, and Vicar of Llanfihangel Ystrad, Car- diganshire (whose death we announced in our last paper) were consigned to the grave last week in the presence of no less than a dozen Clergymen, and up- wards of 400 of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, who had assembled to pay this last sad tribute of respect to departed worth. On Thursday se'nnigh', four fat cows, with a pro- I. portionate quantity of bread, were distributed to the poor of the parish of Bishop's Castle, given by the Viscount Clive. IHE LATE FLOODS.—It is supposed nearly one hun- dred acres of land were washed away, during the late floods on the banks of the Wye, between Hereford and Lidbrook.—The damage to the towiug path is also very great. On the 25th ult. three hogsheads were cast on shore 15 miles from Pwllheli, containing linen and cloth, marked P. R., L. II. 47, D. E. 4. and G. 12; also one or two hogsheads, containing saddles, bridles, and harness. A piece of board, likely to have been part of the round tep of the vessel, marked Rebecca," was easton sboreat Crickall, ten miles the other side of Pwllheli. It is supposed that an outward-bound vessel must have been wrecked intheiate gales in Cardigan Bay, and all hands drowned. On Sunday se'nnight, a vessella,den with provisions, from Ireland, was wrecked near Bnde. There is cause to tear that the crew perished; The greater part of the cargo has been saved. The Harmony, Bristowe, master, of Poole, ladetv with fish, was wrecked in Bigbury Bay, Devon, master and crew all s.aved. The circumstances attehdioT their escape were singularly providential, as the vessel was cast on a high ridge of sand, which, when, the tide receded, left hep on dry ground but if sne had been cast twice the ship's length, either to the north or south, every soul must inevitably have perished. has gone to pieces. Tiverton has furnished the sum of 3031. towards the subscription now raising for the relief of sufferers by the late storm. Blakemore, Esq, v. the Clamorgmshire Canat.Company —The Lord Chancellor made the following order in this cause, 29th December, 1824, viz.—l,et the Injunction be varied, and be Hsfollows — Let the '"defendants, the Glamor- ganshire Canal Company, and the other defendants, and their respective agents, workmen, and servants, I J restrained^until further order, from further widening, deepening, and en- larging the basin, in the pleadings mentioned but let the parties proceed without delay to the trial of the following isstles:- 1st.

Whether the further widening, deepening, or enlarging the said basin, as the same was intended to be deepened, widened, or enlarged, before the Injunction in this cause was granted, would or might, to the damage and injury of the plaintiff, diminish the supply of surplus water to the said Works, or either of them, as such supply was provided at the time the Canal was completed in 1801. Mr. B. to be plaintiff;—the Company or their Secretary to be defendants..The plaintiff to proceed without delay the defendants to plead without delay, so that the trial m'ay be had at the next Spring Assizes at Herel'ord.

If the Company, the other defendants, cr any of their agents, servants, &q. before trial of the issues and further order, begin to widen, deepen, or enlace anv other part or parts of the pM.Canal, (he p/;umiff'itf be at liberty to apply by moiion n, 0ns causO to restrain tl]enl froilJ so doing, ua he shall be ad vised• At the Petty Sessions, held at Swahsea, on Tuesday last, Richard Lloyd, of Swansea, mason, was fully committed to titke his trial at the next Great Sessions for this county, on achargeofstt-ating. two deal boxes, the property of Mr. Daniel Starbuck, of Swansea,, linen- draper.—On the same day, Rosser Mort, was com- mitted to the House of Correction at Cowbridge, for one tftoritti, and to be kept to hard labour, for stealing coal, the property o! Sir John Morris, Bart. We find by the Report of the Church of England Tract Society, at the 13th anniversary held in Bristol on Thursday, that its income for the past year amounted to 7371. and that 182,072 tracts have been issued from its depository. The working of Legossick Mine, near Wadebridge, Cornwall, which, from a misunderstanding amongst the adventurers, was discontinued some years since, has been again commenced by a very respectable compiny.of London gentlemen, under the superin- tendance of Capt. Joseph Odgers. We are assured that, from the very favourabicreport of several expe- rienced miners, who have inspected the mine, a very favourable result is anticipated. Townshend, the pedestrian, accomplished another surprising feat on Monday, near Taunton, in which he had engaged to run seven miles, to drive a hoop seven miles, and also to run a wheelbarrow the same dis- tance, making in all 21 miles in three successive hours, which he performed 3ix minutes within the given time. HONORARY DINNER AT HEREFORD—On Wednesday se'nnight, a dinner WIS. given by a large body of the Freemen of Hereford, to Thomas Andrew Knight, Esq. of Downton Castle, in that county, President of the Board of Horticulture, and one of the Trustees of the British Museum; Walter Wilkins, Esq. M. P. for the county of Radnor; and Mr. B.JUoyd.of-Ht-reford, whose Petitions for the Freedom of that ancient city, by purchase- were rejected by the Corporation, fifteen of whom voted against 'their admission, anil four in their favour. The rejection of these Petitions—a cir- cumstance never known before, either in the case of residents or non-residents—having excited great in- terest in the city and county, crowds were seen in the streets at an early hour: but the intention of the Freemen to meet Mr. Knight and Mr. Wilkins on the road, for the purpose of escorting them into town in grand procession, being intimated to these gentlemen, they immediately declined the proffered honour; consequently, Mr. Knight and Mr.Walter Wilkins, jun. (who represented his venerable father on this occasion,) reached the city two hours before their arrival was publicly known. About half-past four, when dinner was served up, the influx of company was so great, that the large room at the Green Dragon was found inadequate for the purpose, and tables were therefore laid in two other rooms for the accommodation of the gentlemen, some of whom were from the neighbouring counties; and several, who could not gain admittance into the room where the guests dined, went away much disappointed. The chair was ably filled by Robert Price, Esq. one of the Members for the county, who was well supported by George Terry, Esq. as Vice-President. After dinner, the healths of the Visitors were given by the President, at the close of an excellent speech, descriptive of the occasion of the meeting many loyal and appropriate toasts and sen- timents followed; the speeches delivered by many highly respectable gentlemen elicited the greatest attention and applause; and the company did not separate till a late hour. Among the company present were the following gentlemen: E. B. Clive, Esq. Walter Wilkins, Esq, jun. E. L. Charlton, Esq. Sir llnrford Jones, Bart. Capt. Clive, Capt. Phillips,, Kedgwin Hoskins, Esq. J. S. L. Pateshall, Esq. E. C. Carpenter, Esq. Rev. R. Hathaway, Rev. T.P. Symonds, Rev. A. J. Walker, and many other gentlemen of the city and county. On Monday night, as Thomas Williams, a poor labourer with a large family, in the employ of Mr. Tunstall, of Burlton, Herefordshire, was returning home from his work, he was stopped near Burghill by several men, two of them instandy seized him and presented pistols to his head, threatening to blow but his brains if he made any resistance, whilst two others of the gang proceeded to plunder him. They cut his breeches pocket completely out, which contained five pounds of the Kington and Hereford Old Banks, and 17s. 6d.in silver. The poor fellow, after receiving other ill treatment, was released, and the ruffians made off with their booty. Late on Friday night, or early on Saturday morning last, the warehouse of Mr. Bryant of the Quay, Here- ford, was forcibly entered and a truss of linen, a box of oranges and lemons, six thick cheeses, a bag of Spanish nuts, and several other articles stolen there- from. It is supposed the thieves entered a window next the river, by placing a ladder in one of Mr. Bry- ant's barges. On the night of Sunday se'nnight, at twelve o'clock, some thieves attempted to break into the granary of Mr. Edwards, of Bunshill, near Hereford, but in con- sequence of a dog alarming the family they ran off; at one o'clock they had the temerity to return, and had broken part of a shutter of the granary window, when the faithful dog again attacked them, and in consequence of the noise some of the family arose, and the villains, a second time foiled in their attempt, left the premises. It is supposed they immediately proceeded from Bunshill to Mr. Gardiner's, of Bishon, where they broke into his granary, and carried off about twelve bushels of barley. Wednesday evening a thief entered a house in Park- street, Bristol, by means of a latch key, and stole a pair of plated candlesticks and a gentleman's hat from the marble-slab in the passage, without being detected. POACIlERs.-Several most daring attacks have been made this season, by u nprecedently large gangs of poachers, on the property of Cotonei Kingscote, Glnn-, cestershire. The audacity of one on Monday last, exceeded all the former attacks. Above forty men, with white handkerchiefs round their hats, marching in files, drew tip upon Seeing the keepers and their assistants (about ten in number), and a desperate battle ensued, many of each party being severely wounded. But though the keepers made aspirited resistance, they were overcome by numbers, and un- able to secure any of the depredators, who, after the conflict, formed by word of command, and marched off. They had, with them, also, a horse and a dark lanthorn. At a preceding, visit of twenty-six of the above gang, a number ot them surrounded the house of the head-keeper, and kept him.a prisoner, whilst the others shot in the preserve immediately behind the house. The following sad occurrence happened on the Severn, near the Cloth house, Stourport, on Wednes- day se'nnight. George Bradley, eldest son of Owner Bradley, of Worcester, was on board a trow at the above place, oh the day mentioned. Some words passed between him and one of the crew named Griffiths; blows ensued, and Bradley being discom- fitted left the vessel. Shortly after he went again on board, the hour having arrived for the trow to start home, when the quarrel breaking out anew, Bradley, who was somewhat inebriated, vowed he would not sail with such a set," and imTnedhteiy went below to fetch his clothes, intending to go on shore. In the mean time the vessel was unmoored, and had drifted into the middle of the stream. Bradley ohserving this on coming on deck, lightened his pockets of a quan- tity of copper, plunged cverboard, and swam towards the land. From the state, however, in which he was, and the strength of the current, he had made little way, when he became exhausted, and was sinking. Whilst in this peritous situation he was noticed by Griffiths, the man with whom he had been at variance, and who, evincing the most noble feelings, coupled with no less praise-worthy intrepidity, discarded all animosity and instantly jumped into the river to his assistance. Unhappily, however, his proffered aid was unavailing, for just as he had reached him, the unfortunate man sunk to.rise no more, and Griffiths with much difficulty gained the find. Thedeceilsed was thirty years of age. The iotly has not yet been found. Al Bridgrwnfer fair, on Tuesday,, thefa wis a' fine exhibition of /.it cattle, which sold for high prices. Ol the few* ,?heep which were penned, hot a small number were sold, as the bad weather kept away the Jobbers. J LTIRDR IN THE ALMANACKS.— t here appears to be a most strange and unaccountable blonder in the placing of Easter-day, in ail the almanacks for the year 1825, which we have had an opportunity of con suiting. It ;s a well known rule (and is given in al! [ the church prayer books), that Rlster-thy is the first Sunday after the first,full moon on oratter the 31st day of March; and It the full moon happens on a Sunday, then Easter-day is the Sunday after. Now, whether the almanack makers have altered this rule we cannot tell; hut certain it is, that they have placed the Paschal lull moon on Sand ay the 3,1 of April; and instead^ of making Easter-day fill on the Sunday after, according to the rule in the prayer book, they have placed it 6ft the same day !—Whitsunday, and all the other moveable feasts, which depend on Easter, are as far as we have examined, placed in the same manner; and there is likely to be a considerable coh- lusiou in the church services for the ensuing year. !■

The following is an extract from a Poem on "the NeW Year," written by the late Miss BOWDLER, and pub- lished, with others, by her youngest sisterj for the benefit of the Bath Hospital. Thou rising year, now opening to my view, Yet wfapp'd in darkness—whither dost thou lead? What is Futurity ? -It is a time When joys, unknown to former iife, may shed Their brightest beams on each succeeding day; When Health again may bloom, and Pleasure smile (By Pain no more allay'd,) and new detigliis On every changing season still attend Each morn returning wake the soul to joy From balmy slumbers, undislitrVd by care; Success still wait on Hope, and every hour In peace and pleasure gently glide away.— I But ah how rare on earth are years like this! In the dark prospect of Futurity Far other scenes than these may vet remain Arriiction there may aim her keenest shafts To tear the heart,—while pain and sickness waste The feeble frame by slow consuming pang1:, And ease and comfort lost are sought in vain For there, perhaps, no friendly voice may cheer The tedious hours of grief, but all around Expiring joys and blasted hopes appear, New woes sucecd to woes, and every goori On earth be snatch'd away. How then shall man Salute the rising year?—Shall cheerful hope Receive the welcome guest ? or terror wait In speechless anguish the impending storm ? Presumptuous mortal, cease :-0 'urn thine eyes On the dark mansions of the silent dead, And check the bold enquiry never more The risiiig suii may shed its beams on thee Perhaps, even now, the fatal hour is come Which ends at once thy earthly hopes and fears, And seals thy doom thro' vast eternity.— How awful is the thought! and who shall say It is^aiot just? What mortal shall disclose The durk <krrees of heaven ?—But grant, to life A longer date assign'd,—another year On earth besiow'd,—ia deepest shades conceal'd Its good oi ill remains, no mortal hand. Can draw the veil which hides it from thy view Hence then, ye airy dreams by fancy led Vain hopes, and vainer fears—deceive no more In native lustre bright let Truth appear, With her pure beams illume the dark uriknownj And shew what man of future days can know. What is Futurity ? It is a time By heaven in mercy given, where all may find Their best, their truest good,—the means, the power, To elevate their nature,—to exert Each nobler facility,—and still to rise Tn every virtue.——Here the best may find Improvement: for what mortal e'er attain'd Perfection's utmost point ?—And here ev'n those Who long by vice and folly led astray Forsook the paths of wisdom and of truth, May yet return, and with new ardour seek 1 hat long-neglccted good, which, though despis'd, Rejected once, may here be yet attain'd. Know then, whoe'er thou art on whom high heaven Another year of life will now bestow, That year may;-led thee to eternal peace, May cancel follies past, redeem the time In thoughtless dissipation once abus'd, Dispel the shades of vice, "he gloolu of care, Call forth each latent virtue, and impart New strength, new hopes, and joys which ne'er shall fuil. Then tiail, bright prospect of the rising year! The schoo) of virtue, and the road to lifis-, No IIloretheshades of doubt are spread aruulId; No more ideal pleasures deck the scene With airy forms of good, which Fancy's self Scarce dares enjoy no more by terror led A train of woes in long succession rise, And deepest horror o'er the time to come Extends her'baleful influence;—by the power Of .Truth subdued, at once Ihey disappear, And surer hopes, and brighter views, arise, Than Pleasure e'er could give. or Pain destroy, To chase each vain delusion far avpy, And shew the glorious prize which future days May yet attain —-This, this alone is sure The rest, inl"dJv'dilJ dark uncertainty, But mocks our search ;—But oh how West the path (Whate'er it be) which leads to endless rest!—- Then, tetAfniction come shall man compiain Of seeming ills, which heaven in ni.etcy semj;, d To check: his vain, pursuits, exalt his views, Improve his virtues, and direct the soul To seek tfi-,it,aid which ne'er can fail.-that aid Which all wfjo sec-kshai) find —Oh! in the hour Of deepest horror, when the throbbing heart Oppress'd with anguish can sustain no more, May Patience stili, and Resignation, come To cheer the gloom !-—not such as his who boasts Superior powers, a mind above the reach 1 f It u,i) it I We" Qt human weakness,;—yet with ardour seeks The frail support of transitory praise; Of his, who treni!)ling at an unknowjjV power, Submits m silence to Omnipotence, And struggling checks the murmurs of his breast- But that sv.eet peace, that heartfelt confidence (By heavenly hope and filial. love inspir'd, In truth s inviolable word secure) Which pain and porrow never can destroy; Which smile triumphant in the gloom of woe, And own a .Father's power, a Father's, love O'er all presiding. -Blest in thoughts like these The mourner's heart still- feels a secret joy Which pleasure ne,'er could yield no murmurs now Disturb its peace,-hut every wish rcsigu'd ,To wisdom, power, and goodness infinite, Celestial hope al1(lcolufurt beam around O'er all the prospect of succeeding time, And iiever-fadiiig glories close the scene. O 1 hou, great source of evc.*v good by whom This heart was taught to beat,—these thoughts to range O'er the wide circuit of die. universe, To soar beyond the farthest bounds of time. And pant for bliss which earth could ne'er be-tow;— While worlds unnumber'd trembleat thy power, And hosts celestial own their loftiest strain 1 OQ weak to tell thy praise ;—O how-shall man E'er lift his voice to Thee ?--Yet at iliy call Thy sefvr.nt comes. 0 hear my humble prayer :— By thy Almighty power direct," sustain. My feeble efforts; and whate'er ihe lot To me on earth assign'd, O guide me still, By the bh st light of thy eternal truth, Thro' every varied scene of joy or woe; Support my weakness by thy mighty aid, And lead my soul to Peace"—lo Bliss—to Thc.e i Commissions, signed by ihe Lord Lieutenant cf the Chnitvf Monmouth. .Wph B dley, R»q. to be D.-pnty f.ieutenaei R;c!,i!Td j.akemore W to he ditto Thomas Elds. ]dq.
