SWANSEA, FRIDAY, AUG. 20.…
SWANSEA, FRIDAY, AUG. 20. — ■ i It is reported in the Court circles, that as, in her Majesty's present condition, aay undertaking involving anxiety or fatigue might prove injurious, it is under- stood that Dr. Locock has interposed with his veto, and that the New Parliament will be opened by Com- mission instead of by the Queen in person. The same cause which now prevents her Majesty from deliver- ing her Speech to both Houses of Parliament—which is expected to develope the policy of her Liberal Go- vernment-will also relieve her when the Tories usurp office, from a task so repugnant to her feelings," of reading the manifesto which will be concocted by the Quack Doctor of Tamworth. It is however affirmed, and, we think, with some degree of plausi- bility, that when Lord Melbourne and his colleagues resign, Sir Robert Peel will not be sent for, but that a more consistent and more moderate member of the Tory party will be entrusted with the arduous task of forming a new Government. The Tory papers have already usurped the Royal perogative by the confi- dent manner in which they place Sir Robert at the head of the new Ministry, as if her Majesty had no other alternative than to register their edict, and take the man whom they have appointed. But they will, we opine, be disappointed.

The Lord Bishop of London has licensed the Rev. John Pendrill, A.M., of St. John's College, to tbe British Chaplaincy at Ghent, Flanders. The Lord Chief Justices of her Majesty's Courts of Queen's Bench and Common Pleas, and the Lord Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer, have by their Lordships' respective warrants, appointed Mr. John Gwynne, solicitor, Tenby, a Commissioner for taking affidavits within the counties of Pembroke, Cardigan, Carmarthen, Glamorgan, and Brecon, the town of Haverfordwest, and borough of Carmaithen, and counties of the same town and borough. CONFI UMATIONS.—Our readers will observe a slight variation in respect to some of the places where Confirma- tions have been advertised. We understand that this change has been kindly assented to by the Lord Bishop, with a view to the public accommodation and convenience. A very suit- able form of card, to be furnished by the Clergy to the seve- ral candidates, has been specially prepared for this purpose by Mr. W. Bird, of Cardiff, of whom any number may be obtained at a reasonable cost. TH E CONVOCATION.—At a Meeting of the Members of the Chapter and the Clergy of the Diocese of Llandaff, held in the Cathedral, on Wednesday se'iinight, the Rev. W. B. Knight, M.A., Chancellor of Llandaff, was elected as the Procurator to represent the Capitular Body, and the Rev. Wm. Williams, D.D., Vicar of Pendoylon, and the Rev. Augustus Morgan, M.A., Rector of Machen, as the Procu. rators, to represent the body of the Clergy of the Diocese of Llandaff, at the Convocation. At a Meeting of the Clergy of the Diocese of St. David's, held at St. Peter's Church Carmarthen, on Friday last, for the like purpose, the Venerable John Williams, A.M., Archdeacon of Cardigan, was unanimously elected to represent the Chapter and Ca. thedral of St. David's at the Convocation at St. Paul's, London, to be held this day (Fiiday), as Proctor; and the Rev. T. Lewis, A.M., Rector of Merthyr, and the Rev. D. H. Thackery Williams, A.M., Rector. of Penboyr, were unanimously chosen to represent the Clergy of the Diocese in the said Convocation, as Procurators. SWANSEA EISTEDDFOD.—Extensive preparations are making for this Musical Festival. which we understand will be on an unusual scale of magnificence, and will prove, we have no doubt, inferior in point of musical talent to no festi- val of the kind hitherto held in South Wales. Amongst the names of the vocalists are those of Rolle, who many years ago delighted the inhabitants of Swansea when connected with the Bath Harmonic Society—of Martin, Foster, and Burr, Vicars Choral of the Cathedral of Wells. In the same department, we shall have Mr. Thomas's party of vocalists, who are known as the best, perhaps the only, organised band of vocalists in the Principality, and who received such deservedly high marks of approbation at Cheltenham, Liver- pool, and other towns celebrated for their musical taste. Our old friend Barree, will be leader of the Concert, assisted by our Theatrical Band; Our townsman Williams, who has carried the palm in many a contest with the harp, will be at home. We have been favoured by the Committee with an outline of arrangements, and we must pay them the compliment of saying that these arrangements are most judicious with the view of accommodating the attendants, and the tout ensemble of the Hall in full assembly will be, thanks to Mr. Lyon, most splendid. We trust that the Committee will meet from the inhabitants of Swansea and its neighbourhood that support which their public spirit so richly merits. In a public point of view, it is desirable they should meet support, inasmuch as thev offer an attraction to visitors to the town at this season Of the year, in thus pro- viding the public with an entertainment in which all, without violating any conscientious seraptes, may ifnd amusement, blended with instruction. LAUNCH OF THE COLLINGWOOD, OF 80 GUNS.—On the 16tb inst., the launch of this splendid two-decker took place at Pembroke Dock.yard, at six o'clock, P.M. She was named by Mrs. Jackson, the lady of the gallant Capt. Jack- son, Superintendent of her Majesty's Yard, who had served in the fleet under the command of the Noble Lord, whose name will never be forgotten as the second in command when the immortal Nelson fell at Trafalgar. She went off the stocks in beautifnt ttyte, amidst the cheers of thousands of most respectable spectators assembled on this untiring and interesting occasion. She has a beautiful carved head and half-length figure of the gallant Admiral whose name she bears, which is considered an excellent likeness, and our gallant tars will be glad of an opportunity of again carrying him into the fleet, and breaking the line of the enemy for which service, from her immense capacity and weight of mehl, tbe is well qualified, and on such an occasion England would expect that every man should do his duty. There was a grand Bazaar in the mould-loft, and a Ball, for the establishment of a National School, and the collections made were considerable; and many gallant youths may be ex. pected to be educated therein that will be proud to serve in her Majesty's Navy. A very fine schooner, the property of C. H. Smith, Esq., of Gwernllwynwith, was launched at Foxhole, on the eastern bank of our river, on Wednesday evening last. She was built by Mr. T. Edwards. She is intended for the coal tradt, and the name given her, Black Diamoud," ia cer- tainly an appropriate one. Hged six years, the daughter of a man named Richards, a mason residing in this town, was burnt so severely on Saturday night last, that the died early on the following Wednesday morning. In this case, as in all others of a similar nature, the mother had gone out, leaving the little girl and an infant a few months old in the bouse alone. Soon after a neighbour saw the little girl in flames on the pavement. The fire was promptly extinguished, but net soon enongh to save the poor child's lite. On the 16th inst., the sloop Ant, of Milford, Jones, master, from Liverpool, with a general cargo, at eleven P.M., whilst at anchor in Dale Road, and the crew tamed in, was discovered to be on fire by the Mary Ellen pilot smack. Mr. Phillips, the pilot took his boat and crew, and went on hoard, and discovered the flames to be issuing from the after hatchway. He awoke the master and crew, who were asleep forward, unconscious of their danger. By their united exertions they succeeded in extinguishing the flames, and thus providentially their lives were preserved, and the vessel and cargo from utter destruction. The fire is supposed to have originated from spontaneous combustion of some damp straw in a crate of hardware. The cargo has been considerably damaged by the fire and water and part of the mainsail burnt. The Castlemartin Yeomanry Cavalry, consisting of three troops, under command of Major Bowling, of Bully- ber, have concluded their eight days annual training at Haverfordwest, and a most respectable body of volunteers they certainly are. The conduct of both officers and men during the campaign was exemplary in the extreme. THE THEATKE.—We are glad to find, that the Fa- shionable nights" on the Fridays have increased in popu- larity, as we stated would be the case; so agreeable a tI. union with light and well arranged entertainments cannot fail: to be universally popular. The performances have been as well sustained as heretofore. During the ensuing week it Cannot fail, with the numerous visitors drawn to our town by the Eistedfodd and the Races, and by the disposition to amusement of our residents, which these events will naturally call into action, that this well conducted and highly de. serving place of entertainment will be well attended. The nights of performance will be extended to five, as usual in the race-week. On Tuesday the entertainments will be given under the patronage of the President and Officers of the Eistedfodd, and on Thursday they will be sanctioned and attended by J. H. Lucas, Esq., steward of the racea, and Howel Gwyn, Esq. COMMITMENTS.—On Tuesday last, William Morgan and John Fowlty were committed by Thomas Edw. Thomas, Esq., to take their trial at the next Quarter Sessions, the former for stealing copper from the works of Messrs. Vivian and Sons, and the latter for stealing iron from the colliery of R. M. Philipps, E«q. On the following day, Elizabeth Jones was committed by John Grove, Esq., to take her trial at the same sessions, for stealing clothes from Jeremiah Scamlyn, of Swansea. On the 14th instant, Benjamin Robert was convicted nnder the statute 5 Geo. 4 c. 83, before T. E. Thomas, Esq., for having been found begging in this town. It appeared that the prisoner had called at several shops soliciting alms, and stating that he bad not the means of paying even for his lodgings. Upon his apprehension, he was searched by the officer, who found in his pockets upwards of eight pounds in gold and silver money. He was sentenced to hard labour on the tread-mill of the Swansea House of Correction for one calendar month, daring which period he will have to pay for his maintenance out of the sum found on his persnu. On Saturday last, at Bridgend Petty Sessions, before the ReY. Robert Knight, Rev. John Harding, and J. E. Bicheno, Esq., Evan David was committed on the oaths of Robert Bruerton, Esq., and John Morgan,potice-onicer, for stealing a quantity of iron, the property of Cambrian Iron Company. The deceased found bail for his appearance at the ensuing Quarter Sessions. At the late Cheshire Assizes, a person named Old- ham, landlord of a public hodse at Motteram-io-Longden- date, was convicted of wilfully answering the third question put to him when tendering his vote at the last election for North (Cheshire falsely, and wuuateaced to pe imprisoned foriiivtcki. A Cricket Match took place on Thursday last on I Crnmlyn Burrows, between the Gentlemen players of Swansea and the Rifle Brigade, for 101. a side, which was won by the latter in one innings.

C. Nicholl, Esq. and W. M. James, Esq.; Cardiganshire, Charles Powell, Esq and W. R. Grove, Esq,; Carmarthenshire, T. W. Hill, Esq. and J. F.

P., his Lady and family, are included among the recent arrivals at Aberystwitb. THE WEATHER has been materially improved daring the last two or three days, and now bids fair to be favourable for the ingathering of the fruits of the earth, as the mercury has risen in the barometer and the temperature has become more genial. THE HARVEST.—A great portion of the wheat in this neighbourhood has been cut, and full advantage has been taken of the glorious harvest weather with which we have lately been blessed. Report in general speaks favourably of the crops, both as regards quality and abundance. The green crops are remarkably productive, and the hop-yards still promise extremely well. A continuance of fine weather for a few weeks woutd indeed be a blessing to the country. -Hereford Journal. the shooting campaign commenced on Thursday week with grousing." The accounts from the moors have pretty generally spoken of a fair supply of game. Patridges in most situations are plentifnl, and notwithstanding the late somewhat ungenial weather for the young birds, from the earliness of the spring they are forward and strong on the wing, and the covies large.-It is stated that grouse on e Brechfa Mountain, the Breconshire Hills, and in several parts of Cardiganshire, are very numerous, and will afford fine sport, as the birds are not over-shy, and are determined to ascertain whether their pursuers be of Cockney breed, or not. 9 On the 14th inst., the Impartial Lodge of the Ancient Order of Druids, held their Anniversary at the Red Lion Inn, Neath. At twelve o'clock, the Brothers, dressed in the ancient costume of the order, formed into procession, and walked to Lantwit Chnrch, where an eloquent oration, on the principles of tue order and the advantages to be de. rived from the formation of amicable institutions, was deli- vered by the Rev. Mr. Lloyd. In their progress to and from Church, vast numbers of persons assembled to witness the novel but interesting exhibition. In the afternoon, the members dined together at their lodge-house (Brother Wm. Jones, of Clyn Castle, in the chair), where conviviality, har- mony, and decorum prevailed throughout. On Monday last, the Members of the Loyal Tudor Lodge of the Independent Order of Oddfellows of the Man- chester Unity, assembling at Tavernspite, Carmarthenshire, held their first anniversary meeting. About nine o'clock in the morning of that day, the members, being joined by se- veral of the Brothers from the Laugharne, Saint Clears, and Narbeth Lodges, attired in their regalia of office, &c., formed into procession, and walked in order to Lampeter Church, where an excellent discourse on brotherly love was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Seaton. After divine service, they passed through the village of Lampeter, and thence to Trefgarne, the residence of T. R. Thomas, Esq., where they were kindly received by his amiable lady, who supplied each member with a glass of good old ale. The procession then returned to their Lodge at the Plume of Feather, where they sat down to an excellent dinner, provided on the occasion by the worthy host, Mr. Griffiths In the course of the evening after the usual loyal and appropriate toasts had been disposed of, some excellent speeches on the beneficial tendency of Oddfellowship were elicited from several members, and the proceedings of the day closed with uninterrupted harmony. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—A poor woman, named Mary Stone, who resided at Bottomy, near the New Dock, Newport, and who made a livliliood by keeping lodgers, principally men employed on the Dock, has been for some time in a very depressed state of mind, in consequence of losses sustained by the dishonesty of those men, several of whom have absconded in her debt. On Tuesday week, the unfortunate woman, In a fit of insanity, put an end to her existence by hanging herself with a rope. On Wednesday, an inquest was held by W. Brewer, Esq., Coroner, when the above facts were proved, and a verdict of temporary insanity returned. On Tuesday se'nnight, a coroner's inquest was held at the Parrot Inn, Caerphilly, before R. L. Recce, Esq., coroner for the district, on the body of Mr. David Moses, schoolmaster of that place, who met his death in an awfully sudden manner. The health of the deceased had been lIre. carious for some time, but not snfficiently so to present his following his usual avocation. On Satnrllay last he left his lodgings at the Parrot Inn, at half-past nine in the morning, without taking breakfast, and was not seen afterwards alive. This caused no uneasiness in the minds of the persons with whom he lodged, as he frequently absented himself on Sa- turdays, and often did not return for two days. On Sunday afternoon, about two o'clock, the teachers of the Union Sunday School, held in his school-room, procured a key, and entered the room, when the first object they saw was the deceaned lying quite dead, in an easy position, on a settee. The corpse was subjected to a post mortem examination by order of the coroner, and Mr. Edwards, surgeon, found that a A e ar,ery ■connected with the heart, had been ruptured, the flow of blood from which caused immediate death. The Tb^ re,Mrne<' a ^dict of" Died by the Visitation of God/' „ e,. formerly was in business as a linen-draper in uarciitr, and was a native of Carmarthen. BURNH.UI SPA, NEAR BRIDGEWATBR.—This place of resort tor invalids bus had a great accession of visitors during the present season, the celebrity of its mineral waters and baths having been well attested by the frequenters to that delightful place.-Among rhe recent arrivals are— Lotd Dorchester, Lady Dorchester, Hon. Mrs. Macoamara Dr. and Mrs. Lindoe, J. Wick Bennet, Mrs. W. Bennet, Mrs. King, Archdeacon King and familv, Rev. James King and family, Mr. Guntborpe, Miss Beaden, Mr. and Mrs. Brown and family^ Mr. Osleer, Major and Mrs. Dasbwood, Rev. W. James, Rev! John Cropper, Mr. J. Morgan. Mr. and Mrs. Graham, Mr. Tbol.

Jackson, Mr. Pyne, Mrs. Bates, Mrs. Strickland, Mr. Lane, Rev. Robert Boodie. NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.—The Judges on this cir- cuit appear to have had very little to do in the way of criminal business—a circumstance highly creditable to that part of the principality. At Anglesey there was only one prisoner for trial, a female, charged with common larceny, and she pleaded guilty. At the Flintshire assizes there wasonly two indictements for felony—one for cow.stealing, the other for robbery. At the Deubigshire assizes there were no prisoners in the gaol for trial; and only three out on bail on a charge of rape, which the graud jury ignored. THE POSTAGE STAMPS.—The gum with which the new postage stamps are prepared, is extremely tempting to mice and black beetles. This penchant has proved, in more than one recent instance extremely expensive to postmaters who have placed the sheets of postage stampsw it bin the reach of these remorseless epicures. A postmaster in the Walworth-road experienced a loss last week of upward of 21. worth of stamps by this means. WHAT HUMBUG. — At a meetingof the Lincoln Tem- perance Society last week, the question was raised whether the use of brandy in cookery, particularly ill plum-puddings, would be an infringement of the rnlf's?

ANTHRACITE COAL.—Among the patents recently ob- tained, is one to Charles Schafheutl, M.D., of Swansea, Edward OliverMauby, civil engineer, Parliament-street, and John Manby, civil engineer of the same place, for improvements in the con- struction of puddling, balling, and other sorts of reverberatory t furnaces, for the purpose of enabling anthracite, gtoae coal, or culm, to be used therein as fuel, July 30.—In these improvements, instead of the usual single fire-place, at the extremity of the re- verberatory furnace opposite the chimney, the lire-place or grate surrounds the working hearth or bottom, on which the ores or other substances to be acted on are placed, except wbere it is interrupted by the working door and the canal leading to the chimney, which are opposite each other. By this means the ores or other substances are acted upon by the flame on all sides, instead of being acted upon on one side only as usual, and there- fore anthracite or other short-flamed coals may bensed. The sides and back of the furnace are hollow, and a circulation of hot or cold air is maintained in them.—Claim.—Tbe surrounding of the metals, ores, or other Substances, in puddling, balling, or other reverberatory furnaces, by the fire and flames, by means of a fur- nace constructed on the plan or principles of the furnace herein described, the dimensions and details of which may be varied according to circumstances, as is the case witb the reverberatory furnaces now in use. And the patentees particularly claim the above, as a mode of employing in reverberatory furnaces anthra- cite or stooe coal, and culm, or other short-flaoied fuels, as well as bituminous aoals, or other long-flamed faels heretofore I in use.

BOROUGH OF SWANSEA.
BOROUGH OF SWANSEA. At a Quarterly Meetingof the Town Council, held in the Guildhall on Friday last, the 13th day of August, 1841, Present- R. M. Philipps, Esq., in the chair, Mr Aubrey, Dr. Bird, Mr. Essery, Mr. Glover, Mr. Grove, Mr. Michael, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Sanders, Mr. Walker, Mr. T. Walters, Mr. D. Walters, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Vivian, M.P., Absent-Col. Cameron. Ilr. Dillwvn, Mr. L. LI. Dillwyn.Mr. Edwards, Mr. Martin, Mr. Moggridge, Mr. Morris, Mr. Owen, Mr. Strick, and Mr. Richardson. It was resolved, That Mr. Adam Murray's letter be inserted in the minute-book, and Ihat his suggestion, with the exception of letting a piece of ground at Greenhill to John Jenkins, be acceded to for the present. That one hundred pounds be appropriated out of the balance in hand, for the purpose of purchasing stones for repairing- the j public streets, at the rate of 10/. per week, to commence on M on- dav next. That ten guineas be allowed for a map or plan of the town, care being taken that all sewers are delineated in such plan. j That the question respecting the road projected bv Sir John Morris, and which he requests permission to carrj over the Cor- poration propertv, be referred to a Committee, consisting of the Mittor. Mr. Vivian, Mr. Aubrey, Mr Glover, Mr. Essery, and Mr. Grove. Several householders residing in Oxford-street and that neigh- bourhood attended the meeting, and complained (hat, owing to the defective slate of the sewerage, their houses were completely in- undated after every shower of rnin Moved by Mr. Grove, seconded by Mr. Aubrey, and resolved, that Mr. Hall and Nir. Spooner be directed to see to and remedy, at the smallest expense, the inconvenience complained or, caused by the detective culverts at While-walls and oilier places. Mr. Aubrey said that the sewerage in the town was in a verv bad state. He had several houses in Little Wind-street that suf- fered much after every heavy shower of rain. One of his tenants, who paid him .501. a-year, had intimated his intention of leaving on account of it. Mr. Vivian said that some person ought to be empowered to compel parlies who build houses to make culverts. The first thing done in laying out a street ought to be making a culvert. The meeting generally thought Mr. Vivian's suggestion a very good one, but regretted that the Act did not give them power to compel parties to do so. That Mr. Esserv's name be added to the list of the Corporation Trustees of the Swansea Harbour. That cheques be drawn on the Treasurer for the following sums Francis, Richardson, and Co., 121. 19s. 10d.; John Wil- liams, Cambrian Office, 14/. 7s to James Hall, to pay to Henry Arnold for fire-engine, &c., (it. 19,. 6d.; for barracks, 1/. 12A- 6d. -St. 12s.; to Duke of Beaufort, half a year's rent due Ladv-day for market and gaol, 6/. 0s.6< Assize of Ale, Free Rents.

Walters was again brought before the meeting by Mr Roirer Walker. A short time ago a Committee was appointed to investigate the matter. The Committee sent in the result of tbeir enquiry, the substance of which was. that they considered the public entitled to the use of the well; but that in the present state of the funds it would not be expedient to commence legal proceedings to coin- pel Mr. Walters to re-open it. They also expressed a doubt as to the legality of any interference on the part of the Council, and a hope that Mr. Walters would restore the well to its original condition. Mr. Walker moved to day that legal proceedings should be commenced to compel Mr. Walters to re-open the well; but as his motion was in opposition to the recommendation of the Committee, it was not seconded. Mr. Thos. Walters again de. clared that he would not open the well. A conversation ensued respecting the Market, and the appoint. went of a Market-keeper. Mr. Williams said that he would strenuously oppose the appointment of any person unless he was a young man, and would engage to devote all his time to the du- ties of the office. It is a fact worthy the attention of the Market Committee, that not one of the by-laws of the New Market is attended to ———- A Special Meeting of the Town Conncil was held in the Guildhall, on Wednesday, the 18th inst., for the purpose of re- ceiving a communication from John Henry Vivian, Esq., M P., respecting the boundaries of the Borough, in relation to the pro- posed Establishment of Police Constables in tbe Connly. The following gentlemen were present:—Mr. R. M. Philipps, in the chair. Mr. Vivian, Mr. R. Aubrey, Mr. T. B. Essery, Dr. Bird, Mr. T. Glover, Mr. John Grove, Mr. D. Sanders, and Mr. O. G. Williams. The Chairman having opened the Meeting, Mr. Vivian apologized for having trespassed on their time by requesting their attendance on tbat occasion, but before he left the country for London, he was desirous of an opportunity of bringing before the Council some particulars relating to the bringing before the Council some particulars relating to the Boundaries of the Borough, as connected with the recently- adopted measure for the Establishment of Police Constables in the County. It was not proposed by this measure to interfere in any way with the Police of the Boroughs of Swansea, Neath. and Cardiff; but a question had arisen which affected the boundaries of those boroughs, the limits of which had been extended bv the Parliamentary Reform Acl,-wbelher the districts comprised be- tween the old boundary of the boroughs and the extended Parlia- mentary boundary were to be considered as being under the charge of the Boronlth or the County Police. This question had been mooted at the last Quarter Sessions at Neath, and the Clerk of the Peace had been instructed to prepare a oase thereon, for the opinion of some eminent Counsel. Sir F. Pollock's opinion had in conse- quence been taken, and he had been favoured with a copy of it, which he was now desirous of laying before the Council, and as some of the gentlemen present might not be acquainted with the details of the proposed measure for carrying out the County Con- stabulary Act, be would, with their permission, ofl'er some ex. Illanationof tbe steps which had been taken, and which had led to the enquiry alluded to. At tbe Quarter Sessions at Cowbridge, in the spring of the present year, a resolution was proposed by the Lord Lieutenant and seconded by Mr. Talbot, to the follow- inlt effect That it is expedient to form a body of Constables for this County, to he ftnder the direction of one Chief Constable for the whole county but dividing the county into four special districts, witb one Superintendent of the Constables III each,—the number of constables in each such district to be allotted to particular portions of country within the district, according to the circum- stances of jeaeh portion, and to be paid for by each portion, ac- cording to its own number of constables. This arrangement not to include the towns of Cardiff, Swansea, or Neath." As a majority of the Magistrate present expressed a wish that time should be allowed for a consideration of the question before they were called on to decide on it, and particularly as it involved a division of the county into districts, it was moved and carried, that the resolution and statement proposed should be printed and circulated amongst the Magistrates, and that the further consi- deration of the question should be adjourned to the Midsummer Sessions it Neath. It might be proper that he should here men- tion that, by the first act for the establishment of County and District Constables (tbe 2d and 3d Victoria, 1839), the division of a county was restricted to the hundreds composing it, but this division, having no relation to local circumstances, was found in practice to be cumbersome and inconvenient, from the mixture of interests and other causes and it was therefore altered in the following session, and power given to the Justices in Quarter Session to make such divisions as might appear to be most soitable and couvenient. At the Neath Quarter Sessions the re- solution proposed by the Lord Lieatenant was taken into con- sideration, and adopted nearly nnanimously, as was also th6 statement prepared for the division of the county into four dis. tricts, namely:— 1st. Merthyr District, comprising Merlhyr and Aberdare. 2d. Newbridge District, comprising tbe divisions of tbe Taff and Llantrissent. Sd. Cowbridge District, comprising the agricultural hundreds of Cowbridge and Dinas Powis, and parts of the Newcastle and Ogmore Hundreds; and the mineral district ofNew- east le and Ogmore. 4th. Swansea District, comprising the Hundred of Swansea, ex Llandilo Tahbont, the Hundred of Llangafelacb and fclandiloTalvbont, nnd the Hundred of Neatb. The number of Constables allotted to these districts were— To the Merttiyr District 10 Newbridge District Cowbridge District •• Swansea District •• In all A mounted auperintenuent being attoted to eaclI ana a Chief Constable appointed to superintend the whole. The towns of Cardiff, Neath, and Swanse 1, as incorporated Boroughs, were, as before noticed, excluded by the provisions of the Act, and it was with reference to this exclusion that the ques- tion arose as to the boundaries of the corporate towns. To take an instance from our own neighbourhood, were Landore and Morriston, in the DtUXttfettch Hundred, to be considered as nnder the charge of the County Police, or as within the precincts of the boroughs ? And it was to ascertain this point, and others of a similar nature which might arise in this and the o'her boroughs, that Sir F. Pollock's opimon had been taken. Mr. Vivian then read the case; which appeared to have been clearly and ably drawn, And referred to the clauses in the several Acts bearing on the question. The points on which Sir Frederick Pollock's opinion was requested were as follows 1st. Your opinion it therefore re- lat.

POLLOCK. the rig-ht of appointing Constables Temple, 4 July, 1841. for such places t This was then the case which he (Mr. Vivian) had to bring before them, for their future decision. If tbe district comprised between the old boundary of the borough and the Parliamentary boundary was not within the jurisdiction of the Borough Magis- trates and tbe Borough Police, it would be subjected to tbe rate to be imposed for the support uf tbe County Police, and would have the benefit nf that establishment. If, on theconlrary.it was admitted as part of the borough, it must be subjected to the Borough Police, and it would be lawful for the Council of the Borough, by the Act of 2 and 3 Victoria, to levy a watch rate upon the occupiers of all messuages. lands, and tenements, within those parts of the borough which were watched by day and by night. Although incorporated boroughs were excepted from the operation of the County Constabulary Act, an opinion had been expressed at a meeting of the Magistrates, at an adjourned Quarter Sessions at Pyle, on the lltb inst., that This Court were of opinion tbat it would be most desirable for the efficiency of the Police of the county, that the whole Constabulary Force within the county should be placed auder tile control of the Chief Constable," and a Committee was appointed, to confer with the Councils of the several Incorporated Boroughs within the county, with a view of effecting an agreement for the consolida. tion of the County and Borough Police Establishments, on the basis that no additional expense be thereby imposed on the boroughs, nor any interference of the County or Chief Constable take place, with the amount of their force, or the appointment of Constables." This proposal was also a matter for their future consideration. Although the question of the propriety of the es- tablishment of a Constabnlary Force in this county was not then to be discussed, be wonld remark that he was fatocrabteto the mea- sure. Under the former system, the persons appointed to act as Constables had their own affairs to attend to, and their pay was un- certain underthenew arrangement, theConatablea will be placed in a responsible situation, and liberally rewarded for their ser- vices. The only objection which had been raised was, that it entailed a heavy expense, and bore hard on the agricultural io. terests, for the protection of the manufacturing districts. By the arraagaaseai new foraed, under the 14 aad 4th Victoria, the latter objection could not be said to have any force, as on refer. I ence to the printed statement of the several districts, it would be seen that, whilst the rate in the mineral districts of the cnuntv for the support of the Police would be from 2d in the pound (as in parts of the Newbridge and Ogmore Hundreds) to 5trt in the 4 pound, as in the care of Merthyr, in the agricultural districts of Cowliri ige and D\n-nspowi.s, it would onlv be ^d. in the pound. He considered it quite right that there should be a distinction, qs j the property of the miner and manufacturer was more exposed to dipred.iion than that of the farmer. In the Hundred of Swansea, the rate would he one penny in the pound, it beinj fixed that 'here should be one Constable for the whole of Gower and Swansea parish In Llangalelach Hundred Ibe rale would be I £ d. in ihe pound, and the same in Ihe Hundred of Nealh. The charge for the Superintendent wonld be equal to about jjd. in the i ponnd on the Swansea District, and about file same for the Chief ( onstable. The charge of the Police in the town of Swansea, supposing it to amount to 5DOI. a year, and taking the value of the rateable property at 3),fM)0<, would be equal to 4d. in the pound, thus showing clearly that this borough had borne its pro- portion, and he had no doubt a similar statement might be made 'or Cardiff. Mr. Vivian then stated that it appeared to him that Mtnther question would soon arise from the establishment of an eflicient Constabulary Force in the countv: on which he had in- j dividual!) for some \ears entertained a verv decided opinion, and would force it sell on the Magistracy and ihe Legislature he alluded to the necessity of a change in the judicial arrangements. At ihe last Quarter Sessions in this county there were from 40 to 50 pri- soners for trial, many, indeed most of them, on charges of petty thelL Now it did appear lo him, that, as the Court of Quarter Sessions was composed of the County Magistracy, a power miobt be given to a staled number of Magistrates in Petty Sessions (being in point of fact the same tribunal), lo try offences of a trifling cha- racter. There existed a strong feeling in (he Legislature against giving Magistrates 'lie power of summary conviction, without the intervention of a jury let there be given thcrn the power of suri)iiiotpinz a jur.% on such occasions, perhaps even limiting the number of jurors for petty offences to six but if this was consi- dered objectionable, he believed there would be no difficulty in obirining a jury of twelve, certainly not in a town of the size of Swansea. What was the working of the present svstem? In the first place, parties were freqt)o„tlv deterred from proseculing. from nn unvvillmgness to inflict a long confinement previous to trial, for trilfing ullence, or to entail on the countv a heavy charge for the costs of the prosecution and when commitments did take place, the parties were frequently subjected to an im- prisonment of several weeks before trial,-their families in the meantime probably becoming chargeable to their parish,-whilst juveniles were exposed to the danger of corruption, from being associated with.persons of bad character When the time of trial arrived, the county was saddled with heaw expenses for the re- moval of prisoners and witnesses, and a light sentence, such as a few days imprisonment, was frequently passed on the conviction of prisoners, out of a consideration for their long previousconfine- n,e"' T,,is ""rely was not a proper state of things, or what could fairlv be termed an administration of justice, and as there was a probability that, with an active eflicient County Police, tbe number brought up for trial would be increased.'it appeared to turn to be an evil which called for an immediate remedy. tn some boroughs a Recorder was appointed, who held a Court or the trial of piisoners once in each quarter. This plan, thete- ore, did not remove the chief evil, namelv, the long imprison- meol before trial, and although there might be some saving in the expences of removing prisoners and witnesses, yet the salary °. M ecor°er must be set agiinst it. A more feasible plan wou < perhaps be to appoint a Stipendiary Magistrate for each county, whose duty it would he to attend at certain towns, per- haps once a month, for the trial of prisoners for petty offences, summoning on these occasions a jury. He was convinced that a great saving in expence to the county would be effected bv this arrangement, and that the ends of justice would be much more readily attained. Mr. Aubrey said that, as Chairman of the Canal Police Com- nxtiee, he had refused to prosecute upwards of forty individuals for stealing coal, because be was aware that it would have en- tailed a very heavy expense on the county. After some further remarks, the thanks of the meeting were given to Mr. Vivian, which then separated.

WARM WRATH ER.-The increasing effinct of extreme warm weather upon the human frame, is commonly allowed to be debilitating to ihe health, and inimical to the charms of Beatitv.

THE THEATRE-
THE THEATRE- On Mondav, Damon and Pythias and Tom Starboard suc- ceeded in drawing a good house. Mr. Cowle's Damon was a powerful and finished performance. The other parts need no par- ticular notice, if we except Mr. Tilbury's Nicias, which, though brief in quantity, was made a striking feature in the piece. The feeble, aged, and half blinded father, was excellently poortrayed. Mn. J. Gray and Mrs. Leclercq also greatly assisted the Tragedy by their very effective exertions. Tim Starboard lost none of its original attraction either by having lain by or from the change of performers. It was announced for repetition on Tuesday, but was withdrawn owing to a substitution of performances occa- sioned by the sudden and serions indisposition of Mrs. J. Gray. We are glad to hear, however, that the lady is convalescent The Comedy of Speed the Plough was performed on Thursday, and we need not say most ably. when we state it included Messrs. Woulds, T. Green, Cowle, Tilbury, Mrs. Leclercq, Mrs. Mac- tiamara, &c. &c. In this class of Comedy tbe company shines to its greatest advantage. It was succeeded by a new Comic In- terlude, from the pen of a gentleman of Swansea, called The Country Villa, or Too Crowdedfor Comfort. It is a light sketch. which received every assistance from the care and effort of the performers, who were all evidently assiduous and anxious to the highest degree for its success. Mobt of the members of tbe com. pany appeared in it, and many of the principals in characters of much less importance than those which they usually sustain, an evidence, we cannot help remaiking, of the universal desire to assist in the success of this the author's first effort. The sketchy nature of the Interlude of course only admitted a slight plot. it is simply, that a gentleman who has purchased and retired to a country villa is, in common with many other gentlemen who make like purchases and retirements, victimized by swarms of visitors invited, detained, encouraged, and admired by his wife and fa- milv. To end this, he converts his house into an hotel, affixes a sign, announces an ordinary, and, above all, states bis intention to charge for all the accommodations heretofore received, b, the locusts who torment him, gratis The various situations incident j npon this occur, the dispersion of the annoyinysquad, the sale of his country villa, and, of course, a happy matrimonial termina- e tion of a love match, and—finis. All parties deserve great com- mendation for the heartiness with which they entered upon therr respective characters, and the result was entirely successful, the interlode being admirably 8cled throughout, and in its course eliciting both laughter and applause. The author could not, we think, but feel as greatly pleased as the audience evidently were. We have not beard on what night it will be repeated, but make no doubt that from its complete success it will be early re-annoanoed. We are happy to report too that the honse was well and elegantly attended.

To Ihe EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN. MR. EDITOR,—In my letter to Y08 relative to the acci. dent to Captain Davies, at Taibacb, it was far from my intention to give offence to any person, neither did I suppose that a plain statement of tbe kind conld have done so; bnt as Veritas" has thought proper to attract public attention, by an uncalled-for attempt to throw discredit on that statement^, he has placed me nnder the necessity of entering more fully into the subject than I should wish to have done. I will, however, admit that "Veritas is correct, in stating that the desirable path-way, or aqueduct, might be seven feet from the ground," but he is not correct in leading the public to suppose that it is necessary for persons to clamber" to arrive at the top of this seven feet aqueduct, for a most accommodating flight of steps, with a band-rail (sncb as anv feeble old woman, or child can ascend with perfect ease and safety) are affixed to the cottage side of the aqueduct, and if the same kind of accom- modatiou were placed at the opposite side, it would at all times (by night as well as by day), afford a most desirable path-way for those to whom the saving of a few minutes is frequently of mnch importance. Veritat's admission that" it was necessary to put spikes to prevent persons climbing over in the night," will, I think, sufficiently justify my statement, that the shortening of the distance makes it a desirable," and the convenient flight of steps an alluring" path-way, notwithstanding the risk to which persons are exposed who avail themselves of it. Captain Davies did not attempt to "climb" (climbing was not necessary) before day-break," tor it happened to be ratber a bright morning, and at aan rise, from twenty to thirty minutes after four o'clock on the first of the present month. Had Capt. D. gone by the usual path, the distance wonld have been witbin a few yard's (more or less) of a quarter of a mile to tbe tame spot whicb ne would have reached by crossing tbe aqueduct, in less tban two minutes. The feeling of excitement, as well as of sympathy, must of course have been comparative, though it is possible the former might not have reached tbe ears of Veritu.' I have not heard of any person's having blamed Capt. Davies for attempting to cross a place, which is not done by Capt. Davies only, but by most of tbe men (and not nnfrequently the women) who are con- stantly in tbe habit of doing so when they consider the saving of time an object. I have now, Mr. Editor, confined myself to facts, how mnch they may differ from my former statement, I leave the pnblio (and especially tbe good people of Taibacb) to judge. I am, Sir, yoar most obedient servant, Taibasb, Aagut, 19,1841. SriCTATOft.
