HONORARY DIRECTOR. JOHN LLOYD DAVIES, Esq. of Btaendyffryn. AUDITORS. JOHN JONES, Esq. M.P. R. J. TURNER, Esq. The recent Stoppage of Messrs. Waters, Jones, and Co. has léd to the establishment of a Banking Company, to be called the South Wales Joint Stock Banking Company, to consist of a Pro- prietary of substantial Capital, under the management of a Board of Directors of known character, ability, and integrity.- If a Banking Company, formed by the association of persons of influence, intelligence, and espital, were for the first time pro- posed to the publie, there might be some doubt entertained of its prosperity; but when it is kaawn thatiamilar establishments have Wen long in operation, in- ditt'ereat parts of the empire, and with invariable success, lie.is^jsetioiiaf experience is given to a mea- sure which promises of no common description, not .&Dly to the parties embarkiag in it, bat also. and in a greater de- cree, to the public. Banking is oneof those very few pursuits which experience has *bewn tQ ve best conducted by public Companies. In Scotland, where Joint Stock Banks have long been established, they have been productive of the happiest results. The dividends to the proprietors have been very considerable, the shares have been and *re in great request, aad the country has tlourishedin a very re- markabje manner, enjoying prosperity- uninterrupted by those fluctuations which have been constantly experienced in districts where Joint Stock Banks have not existed. There are no laws in Scotland more favourable to them than to private Banks, yet, in public estimation, they have maintained their superiority, and consequently lave gained possession of the principal banking bu- siness of that country. This superiority arises from their unquestionable stability and onbounded credit, which enable them to transact business upon principles, and to an extent, which the credit of private Banks will not admit, and with a liberality which the latter either can- not afford or at all events do not practice. < The establishment of these Banks in this country was precluded till of late years by the Charter of the Bank of England, which limited the number of partners in other Banks to six. The legis- lature, in 182G, removed this limitation, and afforded peculiar fa- cilities for such establishments. If there be any part of Greilt Britain where a Banking Company is more required than in another, it would appear to be South Wales, for whilst its distance from the Metropolis precludes the rapid and regular diffusion of capital, it possesses a most indus- trious, intelligent, and persevering population, and the natural advantages of its agricultural and mineral wealth, would, if fos- tered and encouraged, very speedily enable it to realize all the benefits to which it is entitled It is therefore with the greatest confidence that the South Wales Joint Stock Banking Company," is recommended to the Public, as an establishment which otters to the Capitalist profits able means of investment, insures to the agriculturist that succour which is at times so vitally important both to landlord and tenant, and affords to the merchant, manufacturer, and tradesman, the strongest stimulus to industryand enterprize, diffusing its benefits amongst all glasses of the community, and by a well regulated system of management and controul, checking wild and hazardous speculations, which, however specious in appearance, are ulti- mately injurious to individuals and society.

The principal objects which the Commissioners have in view in the erection of o ra the above Establishment, are by virtue of the several powers vested in them by the Paving Act;— 1st. To suppress a)I the Slaughter Houses at present existing within the Town, as a necessary precaution against disease and contagion. 2dly. To introduce a system of cleanliness and ventilation, thereby improving the quality of the Meat, and consequently pro- moting the interests of the Butcher and Consumer. 3dly. To establish a ready Market for every kind of Fat Stock, on Tuesday and Thursday in every week, and to afford the most complete covered accommodation for Stock, without any extra charge for standing, provided the animals be slaughtered upon the Premises,—a plan admirably calculated to furnish the Market with prime Meat, at such just and reasonable prices as are necessarily attendant upon public exhibition and open com- y petition. A List of the Slaughtering Prices, which will be very moderate, will be given in a future advertisement; and such Butchers as wish to secure Private Slaughter Houses, may apply to Mr. T. Jones, upon the premises. THE High Sheriff of the County of Glamorgan will proceed to the ELECTION of a CORONER for the said County, in the room of Nicholl Wood, Gentleman, whom I have removed from the said Office by virtue of his Majesty's Writ for. that purpose to me directed, bearing date at Westminster, the thirtieth day of January last past, at the County Court to be held at the tawn,of Bridgend, in the said county, by adjournment, on Friday, the tenth day of February instant, at ten o'clock in the forenoon of the same day at which time and place the Freeholders of the said county are required to attend.-Dated this 2d day of February, 1832.

SWANSEA, FRIDAY, FEB. 3. _l- OUR justly popular Ministry must mind what they are about, or that experienced old fox, Toryism out of Office, will yet be too cunning for them.—The Dutch loan question gave them a stoart jog the other night, which ought tokeep them wide awake for the remainder of the Session. If they do not retain office, and carry the Reform Bill tri- umphantly, everlasting disgrace will be upon tbeii-lieads- and-we. are morally certain that those who now lie,in-wait for their places, would only hurt the country into an abyss of anarchy, by foolish attempts at satisfying the people with some less effective measure ;we therefore consider the peace and prosperity of our beloved country identified with tlie stability of the present Government, at least till we shall have obtained such an amended representation as THE BILL provides for. Mr. Perceval's general fast motion, is of a nature too serious for laughter, and yet the mode of it was too burlesque for our gravity.—We certainly think Hunt's quotation from Scripture much more apposite than those of his more worthy opponent; and are glad to find that the Member for Preston is so biblical in his reading—he may stumble upon many passages deeply in- structive to himself as a politician.—As regards what is termed a general fast," we must leave every one to his own individual convictions as to its duty or utility—but as the cholera is almost exclusively destroying the already fasting and ill-clothed poor, we would suggest, whether a liberal contribution-say from every family in good cir- cumstances, the value of their customary substantial dinner for one day-towards clothing and feeding, and otherwise comforting this suffering portion of our fellow.subjects, would not be a more acceptable token of national contri- tion, than any ostentatious public ceremonies, or the most scrupulous dining upon fish and egg sauce, from one end of the kingdom to the other ?

It affords us much pleasure to direct the attention of onr readers to the Resolutions and Prospectus relating to the South Wales Joint Stock Banking Company," which will be found in the columns of our paper, for we entertain very strong expecta- tions that advantages of no common description will result to the shareholders and the country from the establishment of this Bank, and most especially to the counties of Carmarthen, Pembroke, and Cardigan, throughout which the notes of Messrs. Waters, Jones, and Co., principally circulated. To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. SIR, -t«;0 Moantstnart, 27th January, 1832. I have perused in the Morning Chronicle of Monday last, an article of unusual virulence directed against me, under the head of the Marquess of Bute and the Reformers of Rothesay, and in which I am distinctly held forth as a fair object for personal vio- lence; it purports to be founded upon the supposed report of a speech said- to have been delivered by Mr. Thom, the statements in which against me and my Agents are absolutely and thoroughly untrue. It is so well known In this neighbourhood that I never have interfered with, harassed, or threatened a single individual, that the poison can make no impression but as there is no part of the United Kingdom in which I am more anxious that my cha- racter should stand uninjured than the County of Glamorgan, I have taken the liberty of addressing this letter to you, with a re- quest that you will give insertion to it, and to the subjoined copy of a letter which I have addressed to the Editor of the Mjrning Chronicle. I am Sir, Your very faithful and obedient Servant, r, T "T- BUTE. Lopy °f a Letter to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle. SIR, Mountstuart, 26th January, 1832. My attention has been this evening called to a paragraph in your Journal of Monday last, headed The Marquess of Bute and the Reformers of Rothesay," in which you have thought proper to hold me up to public odium in no ordinary manner. I must conclude that the speech quoted by vou, as spoken by Mr. Thom (misprinted Thorn), contains some very loose mis-state- ments of what really may have fallen from that gentleman, as the facts which he is stated by you to have announced are absolutely untrue. The truth is, that I never have directly or indirectly, by my Agents or otherwise, attempted to influence the opinions of any class of the people ot Rothesay upon the subject of Parlia- mentary Reform, nor has there been any movement against Re- form in Rothesay. Now, Mr. Editor, I frequently read the Morning Chronicle, and although the opinions sometimes avowed in it are such as in my judgment might be productive of bad consequences, I have always expressed my respect for the consistency which your Journal has maintained. I leave you to judge what reparation you can make to me for the insertion of the paragraph of which I com- plain, in which you distinctly hold me out as an object of personal violence, and I fee) sure, from what I have observed of your can- dour, that you will take every means you can to make me repa- ration. I am, Sir, Your obedient humble Servant, Signed, BUTE. The Lord Bishop of Stv P^avid's has been pleased to pre- sent his Chaplain, Dr. Lewellui, to the valuable Living of Penbryn, in the Archdeaconry of Cardigan, with the Chapelries of Bettws and Brongwyn annexed. The body of Leyson Davies, a farmer of Gower, in this county, whose unaccountable disappearance we noticed in our paper of the 21st ult., was found on Saturday morning last, in some deep mud in our river. It is now generally supposed that he must have accidentally fallen in.- Verdict-Found Drowned. A meeting was held at the Town Hall, Brecon, on Tues- day se nnight, to further the measure for building an infirmary, to which Mr. Watkins has contributed so handsomely. The meeting was well attended, and donations amounting to 15001. in eluding that of Mr. Watkins, were entered into. The sub-com- mittee have no doubt but that the infirmary will soon be erected. Several situations were pointed out as being eligible for the pur- pose, but no place was fully fixed upon. It has been suggested, that a field called Clawdd-y-Garewould be the best situation in all respects that could be selected. BRECKNOCK THEATRB.—(From a Correspondent.)-As was anticipated, Mondav evening proved a treat to the lovers of the drama. The play was "Richard the III," and the part of thy tyrant was excellently performed by Mr. Anderton, as was tnat of Richmond by Mr. Crook. JVliss Poole as the Queen, and Miss Watson as Lady Ann, were much applauded. Indeed the whole of the characters were well sustained. The lively farce of "The Happiest Day of my Life" followed—when Mr. Gilman, Sophia, and Mrs. Dudley, were most admirably personated by Mr. Granby, Miss Watson, and Mrs. Granby. We were glad to see the house so well filled. On Monday se'nnight, a Court Martial was held at the barracks at Brecon, on a private ofthe 98th regiment, for selling some of his military accoutrements. Being an old offender, he was sentenced to 14 days' solitary confinement in the black hole. Fot long ago, a severe flogging would have followed the convic- tion for such an offence; but that mode of punishment is now, we are happy to say, almost exploded. William Smith, aged 23, about 5 feet 8 inches, rather slender, and John George, aged 19, were on Wednesday brought to the county goal of Brecknock, both fully committed for trial by the Rev. C. Price, the Rev. Daniel Evans, and E. Thomas, Esq., on a charge ot uttering base coin at Builth, on Tuesday last, Smith states he is a native of Kemsey, Worcestershire, and is in the habit of travelling to Birmingham and, other places, with apples. George who is an innocent looking countryman, states himself to be a native of Harcup, in Herefordshire, and has been bred up a farmer's servant. An inquest was held on Tuesday last, on the body of Ben- jamin Jones, who was found dead on the road near the farm of Fountain, in tte borough of Carmarthen. The decease d was seen the preceding evening in a state of intoxication and, it is sup- posed, fell on his face (while in that state) in a ditch or pool of water, and was suffocated.-Verdict," Found dead, but by what means he came to his death, is to the Jury unknown." An old man receiving parish relief in Carmarthen, upon the stoppage of Messrs. Waters and Jones's Bank, suddenly be- came possessed of forty pounds in the notes of that firm, when he learnt it had suspended payment.. An order was received last week at Pembroke Yard, to reduce the number of artificers and workmen to the peace es- tablishment, in common with those of the other dock-yards. The number of clerks also will be reduced at Pembroke on the 31st of March, by the superannuation of Mr. Wright, and Mr. Penn. LLANELLY FIELD SPORTS.—The harriers of William Chambers, Esq. of Llanelly, met on Tuesday last, on Pembrey, Mountain, where they started a fine hare Puss took a circuitous route over a heavy and dreary country for upwards of three hours, and was killed at last near Lanon, after running a distance of 30 miles. The friends of the chase in the evening sat down to an excellent dinner, at the Thomas's Arms, Llanelly. The Pembrokeshire Foxhounds meet on Monday next, at Llawhaden, and on Thursday, at the Rath, each day at ten o'clock. It should be generally known, that Parliamentary papers and petitions only are exempt from the payment of postage, and that petitions to any of the public departments, and all packets sent by post, are chargeable and that even when sent to Members of Parliament, and on public business, they are only free up to frank weight. NORBURY IN M0NM0Tii.At one of our late public meetings it became a subject of dispute, whether St. Mary's or St. Thomas's Over Munnow was the mother church of this parish, My opinion," exclaimed a facetious civic dignitary, is in fa- vour of St. Mary for I do not well see how St. Thomas could ever have been a mother!—Merlin, THE LATE FIRES AT BRISTOI>.—The Bristol cosres- pondent of the Morning Herald states that Mr. Pollock has re- considered the opinion given by him against the liability of the City for the losses sustained during the outrages, and that Mr. P. now concurs with the Attorney-General and Mr. Campbell, to whom the case was subsequently submitted, that the city of Bristol is liable for the losses and that upwards of 140,000/. are already proved. VINES, the Convict.-It having been currently reported that the above convict was to suffer on Friday next, we have made due enquiry at the proper quarter, and find that no order for such an event has arrived in this city.-Bristol Gazette ■TEWKESBURY ELECTION.—On Monday se'nnight, Chas. Hanburv Tracy, Esq. was elected without opposition a repre- sentative in Parliament for the borough of Tewkesbury, in the room of the late John Martin, Esq. DU EL.—An affair of honour took place on Friday evening last, in the vicinity of Barnstaple, between two Professional Gentlemen of that town, Chas. Roberts, Esq. and John S. Clay, Esq. The parties were attended by their respective seconds and medical friends. A simultaneous exchange of shots, at twelve paces distant, took place, when Mr. Clay was wounded in the lower part of the thigh, the shot having fractured the thighbone and passed out on the other side. The medica] men immediately ran to his assistance, and tie was removed to his house in a car-, riage. We are glad to find he is doing well. We understand the misunderstandinjparose in consequence of certain evidence given bjr Mi*. Clay in favour of Sir Cofin Campbell, in an action lately tried in London, and brought agaWst Sir C. Campbell, to recover certain legal expenses incurred on his behalf in the Election at Barnstaple in August, 1830.

To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. SIR,-If you have time and room for inserting the following I -es lines, they are much at your service. VVlien the little world of Great Briton is divided into reformists alid their opponents, it were not amiss for us to be reminded of a species of reform which none of us profess to oppose, but which few reduce to practice. An old English proverb asserts, that- if every one were to sweep before his own door, we should have clean streets." This has been well ex. pressed by the late Rev. Samuel Bishop, M.A., once the talented Master of Merchant Taylors' School -.— When reformation men advise, Let every one mend one, each cries; And 'tis well said, if 'twere well done, II But proof, alas! too obvious shews, II That all the amendment we propose, Is meant for everv one-but one. Swansea, Feb. I, 183-2. Yours, &c. G. M. M.

To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. SIR, Since I last addressed you I have been favored with copies of the Population Returns for 1831, printed by order of the House or Commons. From these I have made some extracts and entered into a few calculations, which, although not uninteresting to the statistical enquirer, I should not have thought of sending to you for publication, had I not observed in the debates on the Reform Bill in the House of Com- mons during the past week, that the Scotch and Irish Members, in urging the claims of their respective countries to additional Members, alluded to what had been done for Wales, in an additional Representative beinv granted to each of the three counties of Glamorgan, Carmarthen, and Denbigh. One Honourable Member asserted, that it was a curious fact that the county of Cork contained as nearly as possible the same number of inhabitants as the whole Principality of Wales,—and yet Cork was to have live or six Members only, whilst Wales was to have twenty-eight Another Member asked, why it was that the Welsh counties of Glamorgan Carmarthen,, and Denbigh were to have two Members each, whilst manv of the counties of Scotland, with treble their population, were to have °. ,y ?iem^e,r eac'1'—The answer to these enquiries is obvious as stated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that any increase to the Representation of the Scotch and Irish counties would be made, not out of the Blirough Representation of those countries, but at the expense of England and Wales. ,It„is by.my intention to enter into the merits of the question, whether the additional Members granted to Scotland and Ireland are as many as they are entitled to, for this involves a variety of important cor- siderations of population, taxes, value of real property, &c.: mv obiect it to rescue the^ Principality of Wales from the imputation that an undue proportion of Members has been granted to it; and I do Contend that so tar from this being the case, as England and Wales are incorporated Dav ing the same taxes, and subject to the same laws, we have a rieht to enjoy the same privileges, and, consequently, might with perfect justice claim for the counties of Glamorgan and Carmarthen three Members instead of two, they having a population of from 100,000 to 150 000 to which numbers in England three Members have been conceded But let us see how the case really stands.-The population of Wales is to that of England as I to 16, 80 'half supposing- each division of the TT 'I'"?

That the additional Members have been judiciously distributed is clearlv shewn by reference to the accompanying Table of the relative importance of the several counties, as regards property and poptttation. we there find that Glamorganshire is to the whole Principality as 157 to' 1000 -tnd consequently that of 28 Members, its share would be 4 4n Carmarthenshire 3.57 .1 3.57 Denbighshire. 2.90 The following particulars respecting the increase of population in Ene land and Wales are extracted from the Returns 6 PftPTl T.ATinv 1801 8,331,434 1811 9,551,888 Increase, 143 percent 1821 11,261,437 —— 17I 1831 13,089,338 —— 16 Increase in 30 years, from 1801 to 1S31, 57 per cent.

In the town of SWANSEA the increase of Population has been still more rapid. In J 891" the Population was 6,099 181! 8,19.0 Increase, 31 per cent. 1821 10,255 25 1831 13,694 —— 33i I And on the 30 years ending in 1831, the increase was tM per cent. The of the PopulatIOn of Great Britain for these several periods is as follows :•— 1801 10,942,646 1811 «. 12,69i),8fi4 Increase, 151 per cent, 1821 14,391,631 — 14 -1831 16,537,398 —— 15 „ increase in 30 years, 51 per cent. Here we cannot fail to be struck with the regularity of the ritio of increase, and the question naturally arises—How or where is this to eJl —That is a question I shall not attempt to answer it, however, affords matter for. reflection to the philosopher and the statesman. War does not materially affect the ratio of increase, as is, indeed, apparent from its being greater in the ten years ending 1811, than in the ten years of peace eliding 1831. Whether it is to be provided for by encouraging, emigration, or by affording facilities for the enclosing of waste lands and cultivating more highly the surface of our own country, are subjects for consideration. I shall content myself with stating as facts, that IP the population of this kingdom continues to increase in the next hundred years as it has done in the last thirty, in the year 1931, Great Britain will be equal in population to Russia and the whole of the North of Europe at the present time; Wales to Holland, Portugal, or Sweden; Glamor- ganshire to the Principality of Wales; and Swansea to the capital of Scotland or Ireland. The following Table, constructed from the Population Returns, shews the relative importance of the several counties in Wales with reference ro the value of real property, ascertained in 1815 for the assessment to the property tax, and to the population of 1831, and to the two combined. § 5 So> Increase 3 ll■*<>/ P°PU- Annual Value of lat.ionper Real Property I •§ 3.a | rent.

As a theorist and scientific member of his profession, he has left no equal; and, in conclusion, it may safely be said, the British empire, in general, has sustained an almost irre- parable loss."—Liverpool Courier.
