livJI J!i ill IB iillAiK SWANSEA. FRIDAY, AUG. 26. — WE fervently hope, and have every reasonable cause for believing, that ere this article is printed and circu- lated, the unhappy convulsion that has agitated the manufacturing districts, will be entirely at an end. So far it is a matter of consolation, that an outbreak, that only a week since appeared so formidable, should be thus suddenly terminated but the most fearful part yet remains, that of vindicating the law by the punish- ent of those individuals who have been arrested in its open violation. We use the expression fearful, be- cause on the punishment of those rioters apprehended much importance must be placed, every thing depending upon thejudiciousty blending justice with moderation. Anything like vindictiveness, or an appearance of straining the law to its severity, would, under existing circumstances, be worse than folly/for it must be re- membered that, although comparatively few have been apprehended, the thousands that have escaped will deeply execrate any punishment, and to enlist sym- pathy on the part of those who have remained tranquil, but are still of the same class, by undue severity, will evince blanteable shortsightedness. Justice, however, as well as example, demands punishment.—pohcy dic- tates its temperate application. These events will, we hope, lead the attention of the Government to the im- portant enquiry now becoming more than ever urgent as to the best means of not merely alleviating, but per- manently removing, the deep distress that prevails. In this inquiry the middling classes should take'an active part, for they are the real tax-payers of the country, and the greatest consumers of its manufactures. The wealthy in their outlay, however large, do not benefit the manufacturer, to the same extent, as the same amount would, if circulated through the medium of an increased number among the middling class. The latter are generally ready-money customers, purchasing at once of the retailer, who buys of the manufacturer, and thus two or three profits alone separate it from the source of the workman's wages. The former, on the con- trary, can individually consume onlv a certain portion, 'heir most expensive objects are of foreign production and although their incomes may be circulated, they are passed through SOl many channels of filtration, that the manufacturing class do not reap the same benefit as in the former instance. To relieve the middling classes as much as possible, !hus making them greater con- sumers, we hold to be the most permanent mode of re- lieving the lower class. Joined to this. cheap bread, and every endeavour to increase exportation, slioill(i be our next care. That portion of the income tax that presses on the small annuitant, and in every case on the industry of the country, should be repealed. The time has arrived when the wealthv must make some sacrifices if they would avoid a convulsion that might risk all. Let them, then, join willingly in the good work, and if they do make a temporary sacrifice, it will find its reward. The improvement of the classes below them must. past all doubt, react upon their own—in- creasing the stability of their possessions, by removing that destitution which makes their opulence the object of envy, and in forcing comparisons, is too apt to en- gender dislike.

-i' DEATH OF LORD VIVIAN.On the point of goinz, to press, we have learned w;th much regret that intelligence has been received atSingleton,the residence of oar respected Member, J. H. Vivian, Esq., of the death of his only brother, Lient.-Generrtt Lord Vivian, which melancholy event oc- enrred at Baden Baden, on the evening of Saturday, the 20th instant, of an affection of the heart, after three days' illness. His Lordship was in his 67lh year, and was one of the most distinguished of onr General Officers. Up to the dissolution of the late Ministry his Lordship held the post of Master-General of the Ordnance. William Henry Smith. Esq., was elected, on Monday last, Councillor of the Lower Ward for the Borough of Swansea, to fill up lie extraordinary vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Watkin Morgan. We have learnt with sjreat pleasure, that Dr Thomas Williams, of this town, has recently received the appoint- ment of Curator to the Museum of Morbid and Comparative Anatomy at St. Thomas's Hospital, London, under Dr. Hodgkin. MR. BARRF.K'S CONCERT.—We congratulate our friends ou the opportunity afforded them of enjoying a rich musical treat, which our talented townsman, Mr. Barree, is at present ,indefatigably engaged in catering for, to take place, on Wednesday next. The well-known names of the several vocalists engaged for the occasion, including Miss Sullivan-of whom report speaks in high praise-also the Choral Society lately formed under the superintendence of Mr. Farndell, combined with instrumental performance, is a new feat me of concert never attempted heretofore in Swan- sea, and we heartily wish Mr. Barree the success which his untiring efforts so richly deserve. We have pleasure in reporting, that the Bazaar lately held at the Mumbles for the benefit of that useful institution, the Infants' School, which is carried on very satisfactorily, produced between forty and fifty pounds. We refer our readers to an advertisement in out- paper of this day, containing a report of the state of the funds of the ¡ Swansea Infants' School, from which it appears there is a deficiency of about 201., to meet the present claims upon it, without touching the deposit in the Savings Bank, which the Committee properly wish to reserve for unexpected contingencies. In the present disturbances amongst the working classes in the manufacturing districts, we under. stand that there is a marked difference between the conduct of the instructed and the ignorant. We think infant educa- tion particularly adapted to improve the minds of the popu- lation for notollly the children receive belwfit, but they impart instruction in relating to their parents what ttfeyhave learnt during the day, and we may hope that in time, the workman and the master will be so far instructed, as to be convinced that their imprests are identical, that when prices of their manufacture fall, wages must fell in proportion, and when they rise, wages will again find their proper level. Entertaining these sentiments, we feel justified in recom. mending the claims of the Swansea Infant School to the fa. vourable notice of all who wish to improve the spiritual and moral condition of the people. The numbers in attendance at this school vary from 100 in winter to 220 in summer, according to the state of health of the children. SUDDEN DuATH. -On the 23d ins., an awful case of sudden death occurred at the Wvndham Arms Inn, Bridgend, in this county. A Mr. Sylvester, of the Strand, London, a highly respectable gentleman, aged 72, accompanied by his lady, had been on a visit to M. P. Smith, Esq.^ of New Honse. On Tuesday last, Mr. Smith, attended oy Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester, drove up to the Wyndham Arms, as the former intended leaving that morning for Bath. Mr. Syl- vester got out of the carriage, apparently well, and hurried upstairs to the drawing-room, when he flung himself on the sofa. Dr. Smith promptly attended him, and in the course of five minutes he expired in his arms. Deceased had been indisposed some time previous, and was subject to violent spasms in the chest, which were brought on by the least exertion. Au inquest was held the following day before Lewis Reece, Esq., Coroner, when a verdict Died by the visitation of God," was returned. Kilgerran fair (near Cardigan) on Monday last, was the poorest that has been held there for the last 20 vears- plenty of cattle, bnt no buyers, and the few that were sold fetched but very low prices. On Saturday last, as the Baron Spolasco's horse. Prince Scipio, was training on our course preparatory to the races on the 8th and 9th Sept., he had the misfortune to break bili off fore leg, by getting it into a rabbit hole. The Baron, who was present at the time, ordered the poor anufeal's throat to be put on the spot, but was prevailed upon to take him home, where he at once set his leg, and hopes are entertained of his ultimately becoming servtce»ble on the road, if not on the coarse. A FAIR DIVIDEND.-The Assignees of Mr. W. UIRCK- Price (partner in the firm of Messrs. Price, Jone*, »w# Edwards, late banker* of Shrewsbury), have de £ l,wed j | dividend of twenty shillings In the pound 00 (he plivate deBtt of Mr. Price, payable immediately. i MURTHYR-TYDFIL.—The colliers and miners at Cy- farthfa and Penydarran Iron Works have, we are happy to state, returned to their work, with the exception of a few leading Chartists who have been discharged. The firemen have continued at their work during the whole time of the "standout" for wages. All is now peaceable and quiet, and the works are going on as if no interruption had taken place.-At the meeting of the workmen on Thursday se'n- night, Mr. Henry Crawshay, after listening to the n; ture of their grievances, told them that the very low price of iron would not allow him to increase the rate of wages at present, but hoped, from the prospect of there being some improve- ment in the market, to be able to do so in the course of a couple of months. Upon one or two of the deputation, who belonged to Cyfarthfa Works, expressing a hope, that Mr. C. would not think ill of them for the part thev had tnken, that gentleman replied, that he ceitainly should not, but should always be happy to redress, as far as lay in his (ower, any real giievance. He further said, if they came to him they might depend upon his telling them the truth, and that he would always adv-se them for their own good. He would never mislead them by raising their expectations to a certitill pitch, and then leave them as their Clirsrtist leaders had done. With regard to the address to h( r Majesty, lie had no objection to sign that, bnt thought they had be) to pro- cure the signature of Sir John Guest first, as member for the borough. The deputation then withdrew, apparently well satisfied with Mr. Crawshay's straight-forward conduct. On Saturday, the workmen in great nt:inl>eis met pursuant i to adjournment, and proceeded in a body to the Dowlais Works, bnt in consequence ot Sir John Guest being from home, and the precautions taken, and advice given to the workmen at Dovvlais and Rhymney by the overseers, but very t'ew of them met the Cyfarthfa men, and that expedi- tion proved a failure. They then returned to the Market- square, Merthyr, in procession, where they were addressed by their Chairman, who stated that they had prepaied a document which they intended to present tllSirJohn Guest, that lie might lay it before the Government, to get a I loan of five millions of money to relieve the. distressed, and he hoped that the tradesmen would join with them in the address. He said that he was anxious to allay any appre- hension as to their intentions to commit any violence, and assured the inhabitants they might take his (the Chairman's) word that no mischipfshollld occur. He ieqnested them to meet him again at six o'clock in the evening, at Pwllvnrd, on the side of the mountain, a mile and a half from IMerthvr. In th meantime, however, Mr. Crawshay had sent the bellman round the town, to summon all persons who %v?t-e disposed to return to their employ to meet him and his agents at Dyncetyn. About 1200 attended. Mr. Crawshay dnd his agents addressed them, advising them to letuin to their employ, and a gre&t portion of them promised to do so. Several meetings of the turn-outs were subsequently held, but they terminated peaceably, and, as above a'ated, the men are filst returning to their employ. During this state of afiairs, the Magistrates have been most diligent in their attempts to put a stop to the proceedings, and on Saturday they issued a notice, exptessing their determination to pre- vent any more meetings and which has greatly contributed to the present peaceable aspect in this town and neigh- bourhood. THE LATE MURDER IN SWANSEA.—In our last number we gave a full account of the proceedings at the Coroner's Inquest held on the body of the deceased, John Bowling. Perhaps it may not be uninteresting or unprofitable to pub- lish a brief hililory of the characlers of the men charged with the commission of that most awful outrage.—WiHiam Thomas, alias" Crib," is a native of Swansea, 27 years of age, and has during the last ten or twelve years figured as one of the "household gods" of Jockey-street, and Cripple alley. Although not more than five feet three-and-a-half inches in height, he has obtained the cognomen of a Crib," through his skill and daring as a boxer during his stay at the Swansea Copper-works, where he was employed as a copper-spike- maker in his earlier days. During the last ten years he has been several times imprisoned at Swansea, on charges of assault.- William Danes, alias Will Cockles," labourer, aged 29, height five feet seven inches, was born at Penclawdd, Gower, in this county. Ever since his marriage, in his 15th year, he has led a dissolute and debauched life. He dates his misfortunes from the time he first frequented Regent-street. He has been imprisoned at Swansea for assaulting his wife, whom he generally treated very barbarously.—John Lewis, alias "Shony Tycoch," labourer, aged 18, height five feet six inches, bom in Regent street, Swansea, and derives his title from ids grandfather's farm, «'Y Tycoch." He has always lived in the neighbourhood, and in the most refined quarters at Greenhill, and therefore bears a threadbare" character for morality and the sister virtues. -John Evans,alias « Johnny the Backward," ageil 18, height four feet eleven inches, is a shoemaker, and a native of Swansea, notorious for bcinv the best "jigger," or dancer, in the neighbourhood of the Jockey, and consequently a great favourite with the frail sisterhood- David Rees, alias" Dashy," aged 20, height five feet seven inches and a half, horn at Morriston Castle (better known as the barracks,") a sworn companion of Crib's and one of a juvenile gang of thieves, who in 1835 broke into a storehouse at Swansea, for which offence they were convicted and impri- soned at Swansea.—The boy, Rees Griffiths, whose evidence was admitted at the Inquest, hears but a very light character. He was tried at the last Swansea Assizes upon a charge of cutting and slabbing, but from some informality in the in. dictment the Judge directed all arquiHal. W e understand that Davics and Evans have altered their bearing since their committal, and seem seriously impressed with the awful situa- tion in which they are placed.- The funeral of poor Bowling took place on Wednesday, the 17th inst., immediately at the termination of the Inquest, and was attended by vast numbers, We are sorry to state that his widow, on returning from tne funeral, nits attacked by some of those low females who m- habit Jockey-street; and were it not for the interference and protection of the more respectable inhabitants, there is no doubt she would have been maltreated. It has been considered prudt ut to remove her, with her children, into the Union-house for protection.—Connor, the man who was kicked we are happy to state, is in a fair way of recovery, being* aide to move about with the assistance of crutches. Bowling's widow is also doing well, and hopes are entertained of her speedy restoration to health.- This is the only case of murder that has occurred in this town within the memory of its oldest inhabitant, and has created a sensation that will not easily he forgotten.—We have been informed that the Jury, at the Inquest, recommended that an additional policeman should be placed in the neighbourhood of Bethesda street and Jockey, street. That is a subject for the consideration or the Police Committee.—Gri<H)hs, the man who kicked Connor, has not yet been apprehended. GREAT WESTERN STEAM-SHIP COMPANY.— A special Meeting of Proprietors was held in B istol on Tuesday, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means of selling, or otherwise disposing of, or applying the yard, workshops, and tools of the Company." It was announced, at the commencement of the proceedings, that on the whole of the calls, and the arrears on calls, being paid up, and ¡he; great iron ship being completed, the Company would be in debt about 5000/. Ultimately, a Resolution was passed, to the effect that a Committee of ten Prop) ietors be appointed to confer with the Directors, and to afford them advice and assistance in any arrangement which it might be thought desirable to adopt." Lord Lincoln, Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, has just performed an acceptable service to the Welsh freeholders, by having, on the advice of ihe law officers of the crown, reduced the amount of the acquittance- fee on rents of assize. No fee of this kind is in future to exceed fourpcnce; formerly 63 fees weie demanded on 63 years arrears of rent, but one. payment is now to serve for the whole. By all Act of Barliament, which obtained the Rova) Assent on the 20th ult., For the amendment ot the laws lelating to the poor," overseers of paiishes which have been formed into an Union under the Poor Law Amendment Act are not now required to make their annual return to the Justices in Petty Sessions of all insane persons, lunatics, and ri i!' a.r £ ea'e to their parishes; it being the duty of the Clerk to the Board of Guardians of the Union to make out such lists on the 15th of August instant, or as soon after as may be. WESLEYAN MISSIONARY INSTRUMENTALITY.—The ship Vanguard, Sabeston, from Seirra Leone, arrived at Milford on Saturday, after a prolonged passage of three months, having on board Messrs. Dove and Badger, Wesleyan Missionaries, Mr. Steele, American Missionary, and several native Africans. Two of the latter were ol(i for slaves, but the slave schooner having been captured by a British man- of-war, they were taken to Seiria Le^ue. and located in that colony, where they weie converted from Heathenism, through the instrumentality of the Wesleyan Missionaries, and sub- sequently employed as local preachers. Much interest was excited when it became known that they had been invited to preach 011 Sunday and Monday last, and crowds attended to listen to these "living episttes;" nor was their expecta- tion cut off, every one seemed delighted, and wondered at their deep acquaintance with the Word of God, and the gracious words which proceeded out of their months. Messrs. D. and B. have also occupied the pulpits at Hnkin and Miiford. Mr. S. is en route to New York, for the recovery of his health. FASHION,-Wheu Paddy O'Raffertv was put into a sedan chair which had no bottom, lie said li If it were not for the name of the thing, he might as well be walking." The same might he said of the ladies' net-work gloves. AMERICAN WELLERISIMS.—" Take care of the paint" as the city gids say when a fellow goes to kiss 'em Music and drawing taught here," as the man said when he was pulling a wheelbarrow through the streets, without any oil on its axles I'm laying down the law" as the client said when he floored his counsellor. INCOME TAX.-A correspondent of a London journal

saYIi-" Two friends or mine called upon me to consult about 'k re*nrns incomes thev should make, the one io relation to the statement snbjnined, stated it. to be his intention to make a return of his income, as being 300/. a year, upon which I ques- tioned him as to the amount of his annnuul returns, what per centage he got npon those returns which he gave as follows, having lost sight of or not knowing that the law allowed him to make varioos deductions, which I saw clearlv would reduce his fancied income tar below 150/. I therefore sat down, and made out for him, according, I believe, to his most conscientious state- ment, the following debtor and creditor account ANNUAL RETURNS IN DEDUCTIONS.

NEATH HARBOUR IMPROVEMENT. The Port of Neath li< been lately surveyed, and the following Report uf Mr. iienry R. Palmer, Civil En- gineer, on the state of th»> H ir in Jnlv, 1842, was pre- sented by him, and approved of by the Trustees, at their last meeting: — In the exauiinati in of the Harbour made within the last week I have derived much gratification from the appearance of a degree of improvement which exceeded mv expectations. The statp of the channel is now such as to prove tlut the system pursued in the management of it has been right, and it may now with con- fii'ence be expected, that bv persevering on the same principle, a very valuable and important addition may be made to the effect already produced. The depth of the channe in the vicinity of the wharfs, near Giant » Grave, has been 111111,1, illl,rea-PI1 wititin last few vears; while us posit ion h;is become such as was required ior tiie con- venience of the shipping. The great object in view is the increase of the depth of water throughout to the sea, and so to regulate the position of the channel in tl e harbour, as to give the greatest amount of accommodation for >adittg and discharging vessels. Il will be obvious to the Commissioners that, for acquiring an increase of depth, the length of the channel, or distance from the sea must as far as possible be reduced. The course of the channel between the extremity of the slag embankment and the low water mark at sea, is at this time much more direct tÍla. if formerly was. It will ever be liable to changes, but that liability mav to a great extent be controlled. The means hitherto available for conducting the works have been so restricted as to render the operaiions mo: e tardy than the trade of the port has required. If the improvements in view be of any value (which I trust can'iot be disputed) then it must follow, that they should be completed in the shortest possible time, and f feel it mv duty to request the attention of tiie Com- missioners to the means of noing so. The works have now arrived at Unit stage which suggests not only the policy but the necessity of a more geni ral and powerful exertion. It is now time lor de.-iding upon final measures. Tile sum required for making the channel as perfect as we can hope lo do, is inconsiderab'e in amount it judiciouslv applied without delay but if lite duration of the proceedings reinam indelj!.it. a cinch larger expenditure will he incurred. Tiie work requisite to effect the main objects, will cons.st.— First- In formin.; lite slopes of the slag on I Ie east side of the harbour, as originally designed, and in completing its length. .Secondly—In removing the deposit of shingle and large stones from Lear Point. Thirdly fn raising the embankment of slag below the ferrv to the intended height, or two feet above high water mark of ordinary spring tides. By funning the slope of the bank on the east side of the channel, in the proportions specified, and bv the removal of the deposit l.vin;; off Lear i'oint, the position of the channel will become such as business of ihe port requires, namely, parallel with, and cot li^uous to the line of wharfs now existing, and the continuation of it as far down the cuannellls vessels cau lie with safely. The lai-ing of the line of slag below the terry to the height suggested, is ,h. most important jwirt of the whole work. It is indeed essential for the chiefohject in view, that all communica- tioll between Baglan Ba\ and the harbour channel be prevented (so far refers to the motion of the water.) The remaining imperfections in the chaunel are attributable to the action of the water which (lows over the Bay. It is however required to preserve a communication between Mr. Price's colliery and the river, and also with the premises of Mr. Lleweilvn. These objects may be readilv accomplished in separating the water courses from the hay by an embankment. The eileci., that may be expected to result will be of incalculable value to the channel, while many hundred acres of land will be gained. From the changes in the position of the channel beyond tne line of slag which have from time to time been observed, and from the character of those changes, I am induced to recommend that •he deposit of slag be not continued further lo the westward, but that the intended form of a Bel'moulii be commenced from the that the intended form of a Bet mouth be commenced from the present extremity of we hank. The length of the curve must be decided by experience during the progress of its formation, pro- bably 150 vards "ill be sufficient. The end of the curved line should be so shapen, nod have such dimensions, as to be adapted for the erection oi a lijtt-ln.use. Having now staled all "hessential points 10 which it seemed necessary to call the inl u. d.aie attention of the Commissioners, with regard to the im >r«ive nent hilheito arrived at, it remains for me in conclusion to suggest for their consideration. the p' 0- priety of an application to the next Session of Parliament for powers to enable them to levy a sinail toll upon Ihe tnide (-! the port, upon the security of which money may be borrowed for carrying on the works with every possible dispatch consistent with prudence. II has indeed been suggested by several influential gentlemen, that the improvements already effected, with those in contempla- tion, IV ill justify the construction of a floating dock in c'ont,eclion with them, an I seeing that such a work can be executed in con- nection with the ri. er ata cost peculiarly low viewing aiso the immense natural wealth of the district, it is impossible to avoid attaching great weight to the proposal. illy attention having been directed to it, I find it my dutv to examine into all the local circumstances, and to report the result of my enquiries without loss of time. Neath, July 29th, 1842. HENRY R. PALMER. An adjourned Meeting of the Trustees of the Harbour was held on Friday last; it was one of the most nuniprous and respectable that we have witnessed in Neath for many years. The object of the Meeting was to receive Mr. Palmer's further Report on the improvement of the Port and Harbour, by the erection of a floating-dock or basin and to decide upon what course the Commissioners would adopt, in carrying out the improvements suggested by that gentleman. John Rowland, Esq., was railed to the chair, and opened the business of the meeting by reading Mr. Palinei's former and subsequent report. Tbe latter pointed out the best manner in which a fioatim: dock cond be formed in connexion with the river Neath and also very fully and ablv shewed the advantages which would be de- rived, by affording accommodation tor a larger class of ves- sels than those which have hitherto been accustomed to trade at the port; and also the site for such dock or basin and the propriety of deepening the river Neath, so as to allow of a larger class of vessels passing up to the town. Mr. Palmer produced to the meeting a plan, shewing the con- templated improvements but for space, we would furnish a copy of his report to our readers. A lengthened debate then entiled as to the propriety, or otherwise, of erecting a dock, Jh connexion with thf other improvements to the channel and river of Neath, in which Mr. Joseph Tregellcs Price, Mr. Chailes Tennanl, Mr. Wm. Williams, and Mr. j J. W. Lyon took part; the latter observing, tint from ex- perience he knew, that in London the great objection to sending vessels tor coal to Neath and Swansea, was on ac- count of their not having a fioating-doek wherein v ssels may lie; and that the contractors on behalf o. Government, and other extensive companies, went to Llanelly for coal instead. He fit the great importance of haling docks, and lie hoped that Neath may yet have them. After some fur- ther consideration, and Mr. Palmer having replied to several questions put to him, Mr. Rees Williams, of Aberpergwm, moved, and Mr. Howel Gwyn seconded, the following reso- lution:—"That as the trade and shipping of the port of Neath, since the time of the passing of the former Act for the regulation of pilots, &c., has greatly increased and that it would tend much to the advantage of the port and bar- bour of Neath, and be for the benefit of the commerce thereof, that greater accommodation should he afforded to vessels resoriing to and nsing such port, by the deepening, widening, cleaning, and altering the ehanne) and the river; and that a revenue should he raised for the maintenance and support of such improvements, by the levying and col- lecting of certain tolls and dues, with powers to borrow money thereon, and for carrying into effect the said purposes; and that the present Acts for the regulation, &< of pilots and hobbters should be amended, and the powers and pro- visions therein contained sironld be enlarged." Resolved "That it is the opinion of this meeting, that' it is highly necessary that an Act of Parliament be applied tor, to carry into effect ihe purposes above-mentioned." Before tbe re- solution was carried^Mr. Charles Tennant 'addressed the meeting at some length; and cautioned the trustees.not to agree to Mr. Williams's resolution, but to proceed with the improvements of the port by voluntaiy subscriptions, by which the illtel est of all parties would tie gained and after adverting to the expense which would be incurred in ob- taining an Act of Parliament, he concluded by moving the following amend ment: —" That the subject of Mr. Palmer's report be taken into further consideration this day six months." No one having seconded his amendment, the original lesolution was carried unanimously; upon which Mr. Charles Tennant begged that the Chairman uonld allow his ^amendment to be entered among the minutes of the meeting as a protest, which request was acceded to. Oilier resolutions were proposed and unanimously agreed to, to carry out the first resolution, in which Mr. Grant, Mr. Wm. Williams, of Aberpergwm, Mr. Fredricka, and other gentle. men took part; when the meeting separated, first moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman, for his kindness in taking the chair and for his able conduct therein. We are glad to learn that the respectable inhabitants and influential gentle- men of the town and neighbourhood (many of whom at. tended this meeting) feel a warm interest in the completion of these improvements, and little doubt remains that our neighbours will, without loss of time, take the necessary steps for so doing. ODDFELLOWSHIP.—The Anniversary of the Loyal Caractacus and Owen Glyndwr Lodges took place at Neath on Saturday, the 13th of August. At an early hour of the day the town assumed a lively and animated appearance, by the arrival of the brethren Irom the country and surrounding disnicts. At about one o'clock, the procession formed at the Caractacus, and proceeded to the Owen Glyndwr, where the lodges joined. They now proceeded, headed by the Neath band, splendid banners, and regalia, to Neath Church, where a very excellent and appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. H. H. Knight, from Dent. xxxii, v. 39, _h See now that I, even 1, am fie, and there is no God with in, I kill and I make alive, I wound and I beal; neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand." The Rev. Gentleman addressed the brethren, in very forcible and impressive lan, guage, on the great benefits ot health, its wonderful pre- servation, its blessings, its temptations, and its especial duties. After the service, the brethren again formed into procession, and paraded the principal streets of the town. About four o'clock they returned to their respective lodge- rooms, where excellent and substantial dinners were pro- vided for them. After the chvb was removed at the Caractacus Lodge, Samuel Arnold, N.G., was appointed Chairman, and Wm. Davies, Vice-Chairman. The Chairman then rose, and said, Mr. Vice-Chairman and Gentlemen,- Having been appointed to preside on the present occasion, I must confess that persons more competent to discharge the ihities devolving upon me might be found but, neverthe- less, as you have conferred npon me the honour of presiding as Chairman, I will endeavour to promote the hap; incfs and harmony of the-evening to the best of my abilities; trusting that any imperfections on my part will be over- looked, and that you will consider me willingly desirous of contributing all in my power to forward the grand and glo- lious principles of Oddfellowship. 1 shall now propose The Queen; and may her reign continue in peace, and abound in plenty. Tune,—God save the Queen. The next toasts were, "Ptince Albert, Albert Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Famity;" "The Army and Navy of Great Britain," and several others.

Both versions profess to be literal, and therefore would, under Rii-Y circum- stances, resemble each oilier but ii is singular, that wbellever a douhtlul word occurs In tile origina;, wincb is verv old Welsh, the French translator follows the English version. Of the English edition, four tales only out of a considerable number. Iiaye appeared. M. d« la Villeniarquc has confined his translation to the three first of these tales-the whole that were then published. To the English edition were appended certain notes, some of which were derived from strictly local sources, and the whole collected together from various authorities These notes are also appropriated in the French translation, sometimes absolutely unchanged, sometimes a little altered, or taken lo pieces, a id re"- arranged, and often transposed from one story to another'. Throughout the whole woi k there is not any acknowledgment of the appropriation and except In a passage in the notes, the only mention of Lady Charlotte Guest is in a very flippant para- graph in the introduction. Any Welsh scholar will at once, on comparing the two tran. slations with the text, detect fit, piracv. With respect to the notes, a knowledge of Welsh is uiinecessarv. Had M. de la Villcinarque, however, confined himself even to what I have pointed out above, I should probably have passed the matter over in silence, and trusted to the good sense and jus- tice oMhe literar » wo Id to arrive at a correct conclnsion from the evidence a. ready before them but AI. de la Viliemarque ha, committed himself by au assertion, upon a fact concerning which the public are misinformed. AI. de la A'illeinarque, in a note, Tomel, page 109, intimates that he published the romance of Chevalier au Lion, Public en Anyleteri e par fauteur de cet essai en 1838 referring to a copy of that romance printed ia numbers 1 anil 2 of Ladv ( barlotte Guest s Mabinoyiou, I II l:.c's are as follows: — Lady Charlotte Guest determined to rende her work as complete as possible by noticing, with each of the Mabinotjion, its collateral romances, in French, German, ar'" o r languages, from the original MSS. With this view, I. 'i A ii ema.-que was employed to copy, for publication, the AIS .1- i!ie ( heval'er au Lion, preseryed in the Biblotheqne du Itoi. ■>; Pat- this transcript Al. de la Viliemarque received a st ■ j IJ led sum from Ladv Charlotte Guest. His copv. how- ever, us not ahvays legible, and, therefore, on the transctiber's Imp.iming to visit England a short time afterwards, I forwarded him some of the latter proof-sheets for correction, with his own copy. Beyond this he had nothing whatever to do with the matter. It is M. de la Villemarque's silence respecting the real origin of his Contei Populairen thai has, I see, misled the Editor of the Athr.uizutn, who has taken the trouble to translate back into English, a story already published by Lady Charlo le Guest in that language, and whiolJ veto Ifallslatioa JOu favoured your readers with in your last week's paper. The English version has experienced somewhat different and more honourable treatment from the hands of M. Schulz (San Maria), both in his Prize Essay ou the influence of Welsh Tra- dition upon the Literature ofGerinanv, France, and Scandinavia; and in his recent translation of the Mubinvyiou into German.

CUltE OF CHOLERA BY LARGE DOSES OF CALOMEL — On the 10th inst., a man who had been only a few days in Wlntecross-street Prison, was taken alarmingly ill in the night with spasmodic cholera. He was attended by Mr. Wadd, tiie surgeon, who administered large doses of calomel every hour with success. On the fourth day the patient was out of danger, and he is now fast recovering his strength. Nearly one ounce of calomel was administered within the n'st 24 hours, after the plan ot Mr. C. Beunet at Bethnal Green Honse in 1831. Another case occurred in private practice with equal success. A collapse had taken place, and there appeared all the symptoms of approaching dissolu- tion but tbe calomel shopped the fightful progress of the disorder, and the p-nient is rapidly recovering.

To the EDITOR of The CAM BRIAN. SIR,-Every summer I generallv spend a month either in Swansea or the Mumbles, and on my recent visit I wished to return to London via Abergavenny, but, after asking several acquaintances of mine, I was unable to ascertain whether I could do so or not. Believing that my friends must have known the facts, if there was a coach that left Swansea, by which persons might go to London via Abergavenny, I applied at the Coach Office for a place by the mail to running through Bristol, and by mere chance I discovered that a four-horse mail left Swansea every day at six o'clock, A.M., by which I found I could go direct to London, via Abevgavenny, in one day, and by which I would alfco be enabled to go to Birmingham in one day. I therefore think it right, with your kind permission, to make this known through your widely circulated paper, as in the winter this must be of the greatest advantage to invalids and others wishing to avoid the Old and New Passage and thus I beg the insertion of these few lines, and remain, Sir, London, Aug. 22, 1842. Yours, obliged, T.

To the EDITOR of The CAMBRIAN SIR,-Refering to a paragraph in your last week's paper, wherein my name appears in connexion with my relative and namesake, the Rev. John Beynon, of Newport, in a recent trial at Monmouth between him and the executors of the late Mr Anthony Phillips, of that town, I must beg to offer a few remarks in explanation. In the summer of 1839 I imported several cargoes of oats into Newport from Ireland, one or which Mr. Anthony Phillips en- gaged to take at 3s. 6d. per bushel, weighing 38 lbs., allowing part of the same to be delivered out to certain parties (to whom sales had been previously made), allbe above price, paying me for the difference, which amounted to 19G4. 8s. Owing to certain charges incurred thereon, when the aacount was wound op there appeared a balance due to Mr. P. of 12/. 12s., which was immediately handed over to him through my relative, and the transaction was considered as finally closed. It appears, however, from subsequent circumstances, that, in- stead of keeping this transaction distinct, Mr. Phillips mixed it op with the private account of my cousin, and at length makes him a debtor in the sum of 281 and which, had the facts of the case appeared on the trial, it would have been clearly shown arose from the circumstance of Mr. Phillips in his acooant having entered the oats as weighing 39lbs. inntead of 38 lbs. per bushel. I do not mean to charge the representatives of Mr. Phillips with bringing this action knowing they were wrong as to tne faois; bnt as far as I know them, they are as I have stated. I remain, sir, jour obedient servant. Swum, Aug. 25,1842. 10Ha BEYNON. We were glad to see tbTlecond Vwdeville night, mi ni"c,Y Tb/„° "f I* pieces.
