SINCE our last, the progress of affairs towards a state of war has been rapid in fact, we may regard the bombardment of Bevront and the disembarkation of the allied troops in Syria as the actual commence- ment of hostilities. It appears, moreover, from various indications, that it is not in the Levant alone that we are to look for the breaking up of peace in various parts of India things are putting on a military appearance—as for example, in the Punjab and on the frontiers of Nepaul. In this latter quarter, the sup- position is not without probability, that the enemy have been incited to disturb our borders by the Chinese authorities of Thibet, under directions, of course, from Pekin, though no one can have attended to the circum- stances which led to the last war with the Goorkha Chiefs, without perceiving that the same motives which led those unprincipled marauders to embroil themselves with the Government of Lord Moira, may be the sole causes of their present conduct, namely, the lust of plunder, and the ambition to enlarge their territories. However this may be, we trust that the next war with them will not be suffered to terminate like the former, but that our Indian Government will see the necessity of extinguishing at once the kingdom of Nepaul, which must otherwise remain a perpetual thorn to be driven into our sides at the pleasure of the Chinese. Again, in the Punjab, the Sikh Rajah is placed in a position equally unfortunate for him and us. If he submit to the conditions which circumstances compel us to im- pose upon him, there is an end at once of his indepen- dence and if lie preserve that independence, he must do so at the expense of our conquests in Affganhistan, which constitute the main security of our possessions in India. Such being the case, there can, we think, be little doubt that the Rajah must be content to sink into a dependent prince, for if we have a right to our Indian dominions, we have a right to whatever is necessary for their preservation, which the sovereignty of Lahore at this moment evidently is. The same reasoning applies to the domains of the A meers of Sinde, who by treacher- ously excitiag the Balooches against us, have forfeited all claim to be treated with consideration or forbearance. Ultimately, therefore, our Indian Government must de- termine to assert the supremacy of Great Britain over Hindostan, from the Bramah Puta on the east, to the Indus on the west, and from the Himalaya on the north, to Cape Komorin. It is absurdly that cer- tain journals of the metropolis clamour about the im- prudenee of enlarging our territories, or extending our frontiers. The imprudence would be to abstain from enlarging the one or extending the other, until our do- minions in that part of the world shall have acquired that compactness and rotundity of ontline which their effective internal government and defence against as- sailants from without imperatively demand. Further- more, the same crokers, foreseeing the probable con- sequences of the China expedition, lament the neces- sity of creating a new British empire on the extremity of the Asiatic continent. But all this, is the public will not fail to perceive, is sheer affectation, their only real subject of lamentation being that the conquest of China should not have been achieved by the Tories. It galls them to reflect that the pen of the future his- torian must relate how, under a Liberal administration, the celebrated Dooraui empire and the kingdom of Lahore, and the independent principalities of Sinde were added to the British possessions in the East, and the first step, at least, made towards the reduction of the vast empire of China. Some persons here at home were of opinion that the powerful and costly expedi- tion sent out from India against the Chinese was de- signed merely as a demonstration, and to facilitate the proceedings of diplomacy. But the capture of the Chinese junks at Sinkapore is, we think, a proof that the British government is perfectly in earnest, and means to dally no longer with the stupid barbarians who have so long insulted our flag and obstructed the movements of our commerce. In the West, mean- while, it is commonly supposed that the operations on the coast of Syria must lead inevitably to a general war. But although such an event be possible, there are several circumstances which render it less probable than it may at first appear; for France, upon whose decision the whole must depend, will, upon reflection, I discover several reasons for remaining quiet. But, in the first place, the injustice of involving the whole of this kingdom in war to support the iniquitous preten- sions of a rebel, is so manifest and palpable, that she cannot conveniently be guilty of it; secondly, suppos- ing this moral reason to be got over, there are several other considerations which induce her to pause, as the state of her navy. the embarassment of her ministry, and the rooted disaffection of the people to Louis Philippe. But even snpposing France to he united in herself, and her fleets and armies in the best possible condition, can any man believe for one moment, that she will voluntarily encounter the fleets of Great Britain, Russia, and Austria, at sea, and the armies of the same powers, with ihe addition of Prussia, by land It is exceedingly doubtful to us whether, supposing Great Britain to stand aloof, the fleet of France could safely encounter those of Russia alone. It is clear, therefore, that she could not have one ship at sea in the course of a month or two after the commencement of hostilities. Her navy and her commerce lIould be annihilated, her colonies lost, Algiers taken off her hands, and her ports blockaded; all which things would be far from being so many recommendations of M. Thiers to the French people. Glory is a very fine thing no doubt, but then it is sometimes necessary to calculate whether you can get it or not, and how much it may cost. The only glory we guess that the French would acquire in the Mediterranean would be that of being soundly thrashed which, whether it be desirable or not, they can best determine, since they have had a good deal of experience that way. One thing appears to us to be quite certain, which is, that the Allied Powers have nc inclination to shrink from the liberal execution of the treaty of July. Whoever opposes them, therefore, will do so at their peril. This is abundantly evident from the commencement of opera- tions in Syria, where Beyront has been reduced to aslies. We wish that the policy of the Allies had per- mitted them to substitute Alexandria in its place. Lord James Stuart, M. P., is expected to arrive in a few days at Cardiff Castle, which, we are gtad to hear, his Lordship intends to make his future residence. The Lord Chancellor has appointed Charles Brown, of Cardiff, and of Merthyr Tydvil, both in the county of Glamorgan, gent., to he a Master Extraordinary in the High Court of Chancery.- Gazette. The Rev. David Williams, D. C. L. of Winchester, grandson of Mr. Henry Williams, of Llallspythid, Brecon- shire, has been invited to, and accepted, 'he Wardenship of New College, Oxford, vice the Bishop of Chichester. A fine woodcock was killed at Park-v-Yan, near Caerphilly, in this county, on Saturday last. SWANSEA It will be gratifying to those persons who so liberally contributed to the late Bazaar in aid of the funds of tHe Swansea Infirmary, that the pro- ceeds, which amounted lo 5231. 10s. 3d. ctearof all expenses, have enabled them to take ona in door patient more per- manently, besides effecting several improvements conducive to the comfort of the inmates. It may not be generally known that the wards are furnished ready for the reception of the sick poor, but cannot be filled owing to the limited amount of the annnal income of this institution; the com. mitteee, therefore, direct their constant efforts to tie in- crease of the subscriptions, and more especially of the per- manent, capital which must be regarded as of the utmost importance. SWANSEA PAVING AND LIGHTING.—The Commis- sioners held their monthly meeting in the Guildhall, Swansea, P, on Wednesday last; present, L. W. Diilwyn, Esq., Mayor, in the chair, Messrs. L. LI. Diilwyn, Mugsridee, Edwards, T. Waltets, Grove, Michaet.R. Aubrey, and Dr. Bird. It was moved by Mr. Mosigridge and seconded by Mr. Edwards, and agreed to, that at the next meeting a motion be made to lescind the order made at the last meeting respecting the well in Orchard-street, and that the clerk do give notice thereof accordingly that the abstract of account for the year 1899 produced by the clerk be audited by Mr. Albert Jenkin, and repuitedon at the next meeting that the clerk be desired to serve a notice upon the Gas Company, to the purport that they have net fulfilled their contract, and that unless they do, an action will be commenced in due course against them; that the Town Conncil be authored by the Commissioners to pay over the amount agreed on by the said Council to be allowed the Paving Commissioners in furtherance of the purposes of this trust, nanwly,3001. to the Swansea Gas Company, in part liquidation of their claim on the Paving Commissioners, for lighting the town of Swansea for the year ending Sept. 1840; that the account of Mr. Jones, surveyor, be referred to Mr. Moggridge, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Thomas Walters, and Mr. Watkin Morgan, and that they report thereon at the next meeting. Proposed by Dr. Bird, seconded by L. LI. Diilwyn, Esq., and resolved unanimously, that the Mayor be requested to censure most severely Mr. Jones, the surveyor of this trust, for his highly improper and irregular conduct shewn in the presence of this meeting assembled, and that he, Mr. Jones, be imme- diately dismissed from his office, and that our clerk do send him a copy of this resolution that the clerk be requested by the next meeting to ascertain what is due to David Ed- wards, scavenger; that William Spooner be appointed to look after the streets until the next meeting, subject to the directions of the committee appointed on the 5th of August last. REGISTRATION OF COUNTY FACTORS.—The Re- vising Barristers, John Wilson and James Evans, Esqrs., held their Registration Courts at Caerphilly, on the 28th ult., at Lantrisscnt on the 291h, and at Cardiff on the 1st and 2d inst.; the result was as follows Objections made by Liberals at the above-mentioned places 43, ot which they sustained 25, and failed in 18 they also succeeded in plant- ing on the register 23 new claimants, making their successful objections and new claims amount in the whole to 48. The Tories made six objections, and sustained two (lnly; they also made a few new claims. Each party was represented as uSllal- Mr. Brown, solicitor, for the Liberals; and Messrs. Coke, H. Morgan, and H. T. Williams, for the Tories. THE THEATRE.—The benefits at our theatrel,luring the" eek have been well attended—Mr. Bairy's on Tues- day last, and Mr. Tilbury's last evening. On Monday next, Mr. and Miss Mary Woulds take their joint benefit. It is not nec- ssary for its now to advert to the long period during which Mr. Woulds has appeared before a Swansea audience, nor to the esteem in which he is held by all classes, to enhance his claims to support-they are generally admitted, and will no doubt be liberally acknowledged. We believe that we record the sentiments of all frequenters of the theatre, when we state that the vocal talent of Miss Woulds deserve a substantial proof of patronage. Indeed, the lady's name at the head of the r advertisement is a sure guarantee of a splendid house.—Mrs. and Mr. Norman take their benefit on Thursday next, under the patronage of the Ancient Order of Druids. From the circumstance of the scenery beit.g appropriate to the peculiar order, &c. of the patrons, and of the Brethien appearing in full costume, we anticipate that much interest will be excited, and that the attendance will prove a bumper. IMMENSE PAYMENT OF WAGES.—A Correspondent informs ns, that "Sir John Guest is paying 24,0001. per month in wages, and that he is the only ironmaster in this county that has erected a public school! The persons ent- ployed at the Dowlais Works are between four and five thousand, so that the wages will average about 28s. per week for each person CRICKET.-The Return Match between the Cow- bridge and Bridgend Clubs, was played at Bridgend on Fri- day, the 2d instant, and terminated as follows BRIDGEND.

LLANELLY CHURCH-RATES.—On the 2d instant, a Church-Rate Meeting was held at the Town-Hall, Llanellyi pursuant to notice,—the Rev. E. Morris, Vicar, in the chair. After some preliminary matter had gone through, several attempts were made to reconcile, or rather compromise, the matter, all of which proved unavailing; when Mr. B. Jones, churchwarden, proposed a rate of three-pence in the pound, seconded by his co-warden, Mr. J. Mansfield; after which an amendment was proposed by Mr. John Bowen, and se. conded by Mr. D. Davies, to the effect that the meeting be adjourned to that day twelve months; which amendment the Chairman refused to propose, and rose and asked the meeting whether they were to move a rate or not?—which was answered in the negative by a show of hands. Where- upon Mr. H. Jones demanded a poll of the whole parish, which is to take place on the 7th inst., to continue four days, viz., the 7th, 8ih, 9th, and 10th, commencing each morning at nine o'clock, and closing at four in the evening. PRICE v. POPKIN.—This case,'which has been pen- ding for nearly three years, and has excited very great interest in the town and neighbourhood of Bridgend, has now been finally decided. It was an action brought in the Court of Queen's Bench in February 1838, to recover com- pensation for the breach, 011 the part ot the defendant, of covenants entered into by him to repair a lanyard and other premises at Bridgend, demised by him to the plaintiff. The action was about the middle of !838 relerred to a Banister, who was engaged six days in the examination of the wit- nesses, and who then made an award in favour of the plaintiff for 1311. The defendant being dissatisfied with the decision, applied to the Court to set aside the. award on a technical objection, which, after argument, was held to be well founded The defendant then paid into Court G3/ and the cause having been brought on for trial at the last Spring Assizes for this county, was again referred to another Barrister, who was also engaged about six days, and attended 9 by Counsel in the examination of the witnesses. His award, which has just been published, is in favour of the plaintiff for 2801., in addition to 631. paid by the defendant into Court. Counsel for plaintiff, H. C. Nieholl, Esq. attorney for ditto, Mr. Will. Lewis; counsel for defendant, E. D. Richards, Esq.; attorney for ditto, Mr. Win. Morgan. ST. FLORENCE RACES, PEMBROKESHIRE.—These rural and higly interesting Races took place on Tuesday, the 29th ult., in a large field in the immediate neighbour- hood, the property of Mr. G. Bowen, of New Inn Farm, and were respectably and numerously attended by visitors from the fashionable watering-place of Tenby, as well as Pembroke, &c. when a beautiful and splendid Silver Cnp was won by Broomstick, the propeitv of Mr. F. Gwyther, beating four horses, all in excellent training and good con- it-ion the Maid of Llangollen, the property of John Collins, Esq., taking the lead at a rapid and splendid rate. The horses came in in the following order:- Mr. F. Gwyther's Broomstick 1st. G. Lock, Esq., jun. 's Teetotal, after bolting, and 2d. leaping a six-barred gate. J. Collins, Lsq.'s Llangollen 3d. Mr. G. Boyven's Jantivy 4th. J. Lock, Esq. 's Dick 5th. Mr. J. 1 homas s Young Saint (withclt-awn Tile betting was two to one in favour of Llangollen, and three to two on Broomslick.- Under the superintendence of Mr. Wm. Adams, the management of the races gave entire satis- faction, and we are happy to say that a surplus remains for the races of 1841. The Meeting of the British Association for the ad- vancement of sicence will be held next year at Devonport. It is stated that the Great Western Railway will be opened to Wotton Basset before the end of the present year; and the whole line from London to B, iSlol, June 1st, 1841. The harvest has this year been far more productive in this county than that of 1839. Mr. Smy'hies, the emi- nent agriculturist, states that some of his spring-sown wheat exceeded four quartets per acre, and in other instances the produce of grain of a similar description was 35 bushels per acre. This favourable account applies equally to most of the green crops .—Hereford Journal. We have much pleasure in noticing the completion of a handsome and well-earned tribute of esteem and respect erected in the Church of Crickhowell, by subscription of his parishioners and other friends and admirers, to the memory of one who well deserved that mark of attachment, the Rev. tjTenry Vaughan, late Vicar of that place It is a mural Monument of white marble, in the Gothic style, from a design by Maliphant, and executed at Crickhowell by Mr. William Jones, marble mason, of that place, and does much credit to his workmanship. The inscription, touching from its truth and scriptural simplicity, is from the pe:i of a brother in the Ministry, also well knowlI for his eloquent advocacy of Christian missions." We think our readers will not be displeased at onr placing it before them :— To the memory of HENIIY VAUGHAN, B.A., Vicar of this parish, his attached friend, his grateful parishioners, have erected this Monument. By the grace of God he was what he was, an able Minister of the New Testament, a faithful preacher, an affectionate pastor, watchful over the sheep, gentle towards the lambs of Christ; the warm supporter, the eloquent advocate of Christian Missions. While living, an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit. in faith, in purity. Being dead, may he even yet speak, Be ye followers of me, as I also was of Christ, longing to behold the glory of God. He passed from labour into rest on the 15th day of January, 1837, aged 31 years.

Gower, left Tenby on Wednes- day week. with a fair wind. In a squall yyhicli came on, they lost the tiller; and when off Port lock, on the coast of Devon, about two o'clock in the day, ihe vessel was seen by persons on shore, to give a lurch, and immediately go to the bottom. When the Victory left Tenby, there were seven persons on board, the Captain, three men, and litres passengers,one of whom is said to have been a dissenting minister. The Yacht belonging to Sir Thomas Acland, was put out immediately with a view if possible of rendering assistance; but on reaching the spot nothing could been seen of either the vessel or the unfortunate persons who were on board. The schooner Mary, Burnell, with coals from New- port to Btidgewater, has foundered near the Gore sand all on board (5 in number, including the captain's son 8 years old) met a watery grave. The* A lexander. Captain Duncan M'lntyre, arrived at Milfdrd on Thursday, from Tampico, sailed from thence 011 the 12th of June, bound for Liverpool. She struck on the Saltees the night previous to her arrival at Milford, and being I sinking state, was the cause of her putting into that poft, instead of proceeding to Liverpool. During her passage home, she beeame short of provisions, but fortunately P, fell in with, on the 3d of September, the American ship Washington, of Boston, the Captain of whom lowered his own boat, and supplied the Captain and crew of Ihe Alexan- der with every thing they stood in need of. Capt. M'Intyre and crew speak in the warmest manner of the kindness and attention which was afforded by the master of the Washington. Had it not been for this merciful interposition of Divine Providence, it is likely that those on board the Alexander would have perished. At a time when their sufferings were most severely felt for the want of water, they were enabled to catch 120 gallons of rain water, during a night of inces- sant rain. One of the Diddler fraternity has been victimizing some of the good people of Ledbury; he set up as a baker gave extensive orders for furniture, &c., sold cheap bread, and eventually moved off, many losing to a serious amount by the .,ts of the fellow. In his shop were several sacks filled with sawdust. LONGEVI-R Y.- During the months of April, May, and June, of the present year, there died in the five pa- rishes of Penllyn, Merionethshire, forty-three persons, the average of the ages of seventeen out of that nnmber was 86 yea. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Monday se'nnight, an inquest was held at the Star Inn, Brecon, before Thos. Batt, Esq., one of her Majesty's coroners for the county, and a respectable jury, on view of the body of Henry Haymer, who was suddenly seized, on the evening of the pre- viousday while walking in the Struet, with a violent bleeding in the mouth, of which he died in a very few minutes. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased, who was a young man of intempel ate babits, had for along time been suffering from cough and general debility, but that a few minutes previous to his death he had left his lodgings in better health than usual. Mr. E. D. Batt, being sworn, stated that he had been called to the deceased on Sunday evening, between six and seven o'clock, and that when he arrived he found him dead, having ruptured a blood vessel; but not having been allowed to make a post mortem examination, could not say what blood vessel had given way. Verdict— "Died by the visitation of God." DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. —About twelve o'clock on Mon- day night a most alarming fire was discovered in the stack- yard of Mr. Rogers, the Hem, in Forden, Montgomeryshire, which was attended with the most destructive consequences. When firpt discovered, a large stack of wheat in the centre of two otheis, and adjoining a barn filled with peas was (uriouslj raging, which soon communicated with the other two. ifljout three o'clock the fire was at its height, and the was truly awful, yet graml-five stacks nio-,t furiously burning. The Hem is distant about five miles from Welshpool, and two from Montgomery. We hear that the whole of the property was covered by an insurance in the Salope fire-office. It is yet uncertain what caused the fire, although the general belief is that it must have been done by self-ignition, owing to the crops being stacked too hastily. The amount of loss is-five stacks of grain entirely burned also a large barn, filled with peas. RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS -Considerable sensition was excited in Carnarvon and Bangor, on Sunday night, and the early part of Monday last, in consequence of the preva- lence of a rumour that Ministers had resigned. The Tories were all on the qui tire; no doubt was entertained by the party that the present M.P. for the boroughs would at least be the new Attorney-General, or very probably the Lord Chancellor. As for the Speaker's chair in the House of Commons, that was as good as bespoke for our truly eloquent M.P. for t'nc County. On enquiring, however, we found that 011 Sunday, some good natured friend had worked upon the man wot does the work" for the Tory organ at Bangor, and that he in the exuberance of his joy had sent a special message to his crony, Mr. Henry Rumsey Williams, of Pen. rhos, alld concluded bis communication with the strong con- firm-a-fory This is a fact." This watimme- diately communicated by one of the learned gentleman's emissaries to his friends in this town, and on the following morning, the post-office was literally besieged. When ihe hoax became apparent Paganini's fiddle was as nothing compal ed to the length of some of the faces of our Tory townsmen.— Carnarvon Herald. BLOPEMF.vr -Art elopement took! place last week in this county, under circumstances of a I most extraordinary nature, but which at present cannot be disclosed, without prejudicing the enaeavours of the family to discover their lost daughter. We may, nevertheless (the more especially as the subject is the topic of conversation throughout the county), state that a rumour was circulated through this city, Leominster, and Ludlow, and other parts of the county, that a lady of considerable personal attrac- tions and high accomplishments, in the 21th year of her a-,e, had eloped with her father's groom, an uneducated and very ordinary person, between fo ty and fifty years of age. It appears that on Tuesday evening, the 22d ult., the lady in question left the residence of her father (a gentleman of wealth and station in the counts), accompanied by the said groom, and arrived at the Greyhound Hotel in this city, whence the groom returned home, the lady remaining for the ni»ht, for the purpose of departing by the morrow morn- ing's Liverpool mail for Ludlow, whither she washing, wilh the cognizince of her family, to isit a mariied sister. She took her place accordingly, and on arriving at Leominster complained of being so indisposed, that she requested that her luggage might be taken out of the mail, as she detc'- mined to remain there, at the same time directing the iiuard to inform her brother-in-law, at Ludlow, as he yvonld be fhete waiting for her, the cause of her non-arrival, and re- questing him 10 dr ive bver lo Leominster to her the guard perfo med his mission, but on the gentleman learning from him))).t the lady wa, but slightly indisposed, he returned to take his bieakfast, and then drove leisurely over to Leo- minster, where he. arrived between eleven and twelve o'clock. The lady had, however, by that tilllP departed for shortly alter her arrival, a man, who proved to be the said groom, rode into the Lion Hotel yard, and inquired if a person an- swering the description of the lady was there and on find- ing she was, lie immediately proceeded to the room occupied by the invalid, when, either by threats or persuasion, lie pre- vailed upon her to acconipang him, which she did, toja small public-house kept by a relative of lire groom's. On the ar- rival of the lady's brother-in-law, suspicions arose, and on further inquiry it was soon discovered that the groom and the Lilly had departed together. Pursuit in every direction was instantly commenced; labour and expence were not spared, and it is really marvellous that all trace of the parties was quickly lost, and up to the present moment the anxious relatives of the abducted lady are in total ignorance of her location. It is supposed that she is not married, but that she is at this time detained against her will in secrecy. The whole affair is invotvedin mystery but we have 110 doubt, from the proceedings now in activity, it will shortly be cleared up. It certainly does appear to Its, from the faet ot ihe party not being traced, after the most indefatigable, extensive, and judicious inquiry, that the lady cannot be far distant from Leominster.—Since the preceding paragraph has been in type, we understand that the efforts of Super- intendent Smith have been crowned with success; the lady has been discovered. On first beholding her father slit1 yvas spized with hysterics, and was immediately attended by Mr. Froyseil, surgeon, under whose kind and skilful care she has been restored to her father's residence. We hope to be enabled next week to give a more circumstantial ac- count of this mysterious affair. — Hereford Times. TURKISH SAILORS —The absence of cleanliness and comfort I experienced was amply compensated by the insight which a yveeks's close confinement with t'ight or nine Turks afforded me in their character and manners—an insight more extensive than had resulted from a long residence at Pera. The impression made by them was highly favourable. The haimony with which they lived together, captain and crew, like so many brothers; the alacrity with which they went "j through the buisness of the ship, and which was, no doubt, inspired by the interest every man took in the success of the voyage and lastly, the unfeigned piety which appeared to influence all their thoughts and actions, formed, certainly, very pleasing objects of con te niplation. Lottgworth's Year among the Circassians. EXTRAORDINARY CAPTURE.—A very finespecimen of the Bottle-nosed Whale (the Hyperoodon of Cnvier, Del- phinus Hunterii of Desinaret, Hyperoodon Butskonf of Bonnateroe), was taken on Monday about half-a-mile below the Old Passage, in the river Severn. It was perceived early in the morning lying on the gravelly beacn, having been left by the tide. With great difficulty a hawser was passed round its body, which it snapped in its exertions to recover the water. It lived for five hours after being secured, and has since been conveyed to this city for ex- hibition, being now on view at the stable-yard of the Hatcliett in Frogmoie-street, and is well worthv the inspection of the cuiious. Its dimensions are as follows: Ft. Inch. Length from the anterior point of the opper jaw to the cenl re of t he tail 21 0 Girth at largest part o. 12 6 Length of upper jaw to cheek 1 7 Length ofloyverjayv to cheek 1 743 Frnni end of upper jaw to eye 3 2! Blow-hole immediately over the eve End of jaw to pectoral flipper 5 6 From anterior end of tipper jaw to dorsal fin 14 0 From dorsal lin In centre of the tail 7 0 Breadth of tail 6 0 Il is a singular fact, tint in 1780, Dr. Jenner, who had been a pupil of John Hiiute; sent him one which was taken at Berkeley, but much smaller, being only eleven feet long. John Hunter also obtained one from the river Thames, of the same dimensions as tuat noyv exhibiting, viz. 21 feet in length. The first example of this animal on the British shores is that noticed by Dale, in his Antiquities of Har- wich." The character which distinguish this whatefrom other celacese are cotnpiised in the peculiar form of its he.:d and skeleton. The forehead which is very prominent, ter- minates sudtlenl. in a flat beak, which is oval at the ex- tremities. The pectoral flippers are very small, and the dorsal fin, but little developed, is within a third of the whole length f iom the tail (or flukes.) The colour is a sooty black, verging towards whirebeneati). It appears to be a rare species, and not to live in herds; but very seldom met with, therefore its habits but little known. Its fllod, from the examination of the stomach of those previously toundcon- sists of fish and Cephabepods (cuttle fish). The male animal of this species is furnished with two small teeth at the ex- tremitv of the jaw. The t'c-ni;iles are presnmed to be de- ficient in these particulars.- Bristol Gazette. NEWPORT CLOCK.— Last week we had the pleasure to announce that Sir Charles Morgan, with his wonted munificence had presented our town with a Clock, to be erected on the tower of St. Paul's Church. We have now the additioun) cratinc ition of iotornting the public, that the son of that worthy Baronet, Octnvius Morgan, Esq., with a liberality worthy of his noble ancestry will make a present of a Bell, which shall be of sufficient weight to be heard over the whole iowii.— Newport Presentment. LOUD SEYMOUR'S Ac.—We understand that the Directors of the Birmingham and Gloucester Company are determined to put in force the powers conferred on railway managements under Lord Seymour's Act, and that they have given notices to all their servants, especially to those engaged in yvoiking the Bromsgrove incline, that the slightest infraction of the rules laid down for their gui tance will subject the offender not merely to instant dismissal, but to prosecution for neglect of duty. This is as it should be; a few examples would be very effective.—Railway Times. BENEFIT OF MUSICAL FESTIVALS.—The gross re- ceipts of the seven performances at Birmingham fall little short of 12,0001. and it is expected that, after the ply-ment of all expences, the enormous sum of seven thousand pounds will be handed over to the Hospital !-a sum almost sufficient to build one upon an extensive scale. MODERN !NjoYM! r. A young man, a waiter, in this town, recently became possessed of a legacy of 5001. under the will of a relative. Upon coming into possession of the property, he expressed his determination to" enjoy himself." In order to do this, we understand he has continued to get most beastly drunk every day since. He has also engaged, or purchased, a phaeton, in which he and one or two of his companions are driven about during those parts of the day in which they are not employed in their other, but certainly more culpable enjoyment." We recollect the amount of intellect displayed by the country lad, when in answer to King George the Third, as to what he would do if he had plenty of money? he replied that he would "swing on a gale ail day and yutt fat beacon;" but were we called upon to decide which exhibited the least reason, we should un- hesitatingly award in favour of our townsman.-Cheltenltam Examiner. The erudite Professor BOETTIGER, one of the most learned tnen of whom Germany has produced so many. devoted. it is well known, much of his attention 10 the domestic manners and customs of classic ant iqnitv, and his celehrated production "TilE DRESSING R COM OF A ROMAN LADY," affords one of the most graphic and deiightfnl delineations which it is possible to peruse. The portrait of the Roman fair one-prourl in the possession of concions chartns, and surrounded by her feinule attendants, slaves, and messengers, each charged wilh some task calcu ated to heighten and embellish the charms of her mistress, presents a scene no less calculated to interest the general reader than to de- light the classical student. One auxiliary of the toilet, alone, is wanting atnid the crowd of pigments, oils, perfumes, and the like, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR was then undiscovered-its virtues in heightening and'preserving female beauty were unknown and its merits were re-erved to form one of the most invaluable dis- coveries of modern times PERPETUAL MOTION.-The search after impossibilities, although so much ridiculed, has had its uses. To the efforts of the alchymist, to find out the Philosopher's Slone," may be ascribed the surprising discoveries in Chemistry. To the vain attempts to invent..

Whilst the invalid may be amusing himself witb the history of these vain I riflers he may be reaping the benefit of,someof their discoveries. The martyr to Gout or Rheumatism may have cause to rejoice at the unwearied application of individuals to chimerical purposes hut, as Boerhaave said, "that all the great discoveries in Medi- cine were either bv chance or necessity," so, after sundry diffi- culties had long obstructed the pursuit to find a specific for Gout and Rheumatism, the great object in view has been attained by the discovery of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Fills, which are certain in their result, and convenient in their application. LITERATURE. EXTRACTS FROM HOLY WRIT."—By Capt. Sir NISnIT J. WILLOUGHBY, R. N., C. B., K. C. H.-In works of a character similar to that before us, we recognise the evidence of two very great, and we may add, cheering changes, which are going on in the aspect of society. The first change to which we allude is the greater prevalence of the religious spirit in all classes of the com- munity the second change, the conviction which is gaining ground amongst all, of our mutual duty to enlighten and benefit others. It is in this spirit of benevolence—this truly Christian spirit- that this little work seems to have originated, and it is the same spirit which appears to have induced its author to send it forth to the world-to effect its ministry of good. To the sailor and the soldier, for whose spiritual edification it is specially intended, it is indeed a boon, for many of its passages come like angels of heaven to whisper peace to his spirit in the hour of trouble and of danger-and to lead him to place his trust in that awful Power who can calm the winds by a word, and whose commands the waves of the sea obey. There is a feature in this little work which induces us to think that its wide diffusion amongst the classes to which we refer, will be the means of effecting much good It is written bv one who himself is a sailor-who has been Oil that deep the wonders of which those who have lived on it can alone witness in all their beauty and all their grandeur—and they alone can feet the impressions which this mirror, reflecting the power of the Almighty, is calculated to make on the character. Hence, its adaptation to the wants as well as to the circumstances of the sailor. We trust that the benevolent object of the gallant author will meet its full reward—the only reward which his gra- tuitous distribution of the work (if other evidence were wanting) entitles us to say he wishes—that of having been instrumental in doi:ig good to his day and generation.

To the HDITon of The CAMBRIAN. SIR,- III this day's Cumbrian von have L'ivpn some account of Mr. Traherne's book, but in one case you are under a mistake, in speaking of the wivern, at St. Nicholas, being the crest of the Herberts. The crest of the Herberts was (and is) on a wreath, a yvivern, with wings erect vert., holding in its mouth a sinister hand couped at the wrist gules. The sign at St. Nicholas is, on a chapeau, a wivern. &c., no hand in the mouth. It is the crest of the Hon. Booth Grev, who married Miss l'rvce, of DiifTryn St. Nichrlas, and was put up by him on one of his houses. This mistake is of no consequence, but I cannot help noticing such, particularly as it costs but one pennv to do so. I alii, Sir, your obedient servant, Cardiff, October 3d, 1810. R. REECE.

SIR,—Having seen an advertisement of Prizes intended to be competed for at an Eisteddfod to be held in 1841, I am in duced to apply to YOll for a definite explanation of some of the subjects, and particularly that on the question, whether the Druids sacrificed human beings ? Do the proposers of this sub- ject intend it to be applied to the whole of the Druids as a priest- hood, or to Diuidism as a religious institution, extending over a large portion of the Globe, or to the Druids of Britain individu- ally. The diversity of opinions entertained relative to the habits of the Druids of Britain and those of the Continental and Oriental Druids, renders an explanation on the subject very desirable to others besides.
